The moving deadline given by the catering company ends this Sunday, May 14th, and there are still several days left.
So after packing up some bulky things, "Tang Xin'er" stopped asking Hong Yanwu to help and insisted on taking care of them alone these days.
This is not because she is being polite. First, her things are too messy and complicated, and she really needs to sort them out into categories.
Another thing is that there are many private things and clothes, and she is embarrassed for Hong Yanwu to see them.
Hong Yanwu also understood this very well. He only went to the scrap station to buy some clean waste cartons for "Tang Xin'er", then slapped her in the face and left her to deal with it.
"Tang Xin'er" is fine for the time being. The repair work of the Hong family's old house is also going very smoothly.
Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan thought about it and decided to take advantage of Thursday's break and let's go see Yang Weifan together.
That kid is a lively person, and he must be extremely uncomfortable in the atmosphere of a sanatorium. What's more, he didn't even visit him on May Day, and Hong Yanwu even asked him to buy a sleeper ticket for "Auntie Bao"
, 80% of the time he complained behind his back.
In this way, after getting off work at noon on Wednesday, the two of them had lunch, then went to the Qianmen Shouqi branch to hire a "Toyota" taxi, went back and took the "condolence gifts" and went straight to the west of Beijing.
The method of collecting taxi fares at that time was based on the odometer.
The fee is 50 cents per kilometer. The starting base price is four kilometers and the charge is 2 yuan. There is no charge for stopping for less than half an hour. If you stop for more than half an hour, you will be charged 50 cents for every half hour. For one-way trips five kilometers outside the capital, an additional empty driving fee of 10 cents will be charged for each kilometer.
It stands to reason that the "Naval Rest House" where Yang Weifan is on duty is at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain, and the entire distance is only 25 kilometers. According to this method of calculation, it is not worth even 15 yuan.
However, due to the special nature of the taxi industry at that time, taxi drivers almost exclusively served foreigners and did not like to earn Chinese money at all, so no one was willing to use this method.
The only way was to increase the fare. Hong Yanwu finally filled out the chartered car form and paid twenty-five yuan. He also gave the driver a box of "Friendship", and the driver happily greeted them on their way.
No problem, this is the peculiarity of the times.
But then again, it’s not like you’re spending money.
Hong Yanwu and the others started setting off at around 1:30, and arrived at the "Naval Rest House" located at "No. 8 Xiangshan South Road" at 2:15.
Moreover, the guard at the gate, which was armed with live ammunition, did not stop anyone and allowed entry directly, which saved a lot of talk and trouble.
So much so that when they saw Yang Weifan, the boy couldn't believe it.
Because this is a rest home for retired cadres above the regiment level and below the military level. It was set up at the regiment level. In an era when political ideology was dominant at that time, the guard level was not low. How could outsiders be let in so casually?
?Of course he is responsible for this.
So Yang Weifan didn't bother to chat with them anymore, and angrily went to the gate post first to train the two soldiers on duty.
Hong Yanwu quickly grabbed his arm to stop him.
"Don't do it. We came all the way to see you. If you don't give us warm hospitality, just go scold them. Let me tell you, this carload of things is still waiting for you to move. Don't take the opportunity to run away. Besides, if you want
To be fair, I don't blame those two little soldiers standing guard. How old are they? They are not from the capital. Do they know the difference between taxis and other cars? Don't they all think they are leaders when they see a car? If you really need to train people,
You must first review whether you have received relevant education. It is not enough to punish you without teaching..."
Yang Weifan laughed after hearing this.
"You're successful! You're really successful! You first recite a thunderbolt to me without saying anything, and then you teach me a lesson. Even good people let you do it!"
But the more he complained, the prouder Hong Yanwu became.
"That's right! It's useless for you to be awkward. The key is to be reasonable! If you don't believe me, ask the driver. In other words, this car can go everywhere in Beijing except the embassy and Zhongnanhai.
There is no place to go. Your soldiers are not the only ones like this. Everywhere is riddled with holes. Okay, don’t talk nonsense. Hurry up and move things!"
Yang Weifan had no choice but to see that Chen Liquan had taken action on his own initiative, so he had no choice but to help. In this way, the three of them moved a large cardboard box into Yang Weifan's single dormitory.
Not to mention, once he opened the cardboard box, Yang Weifan was really moved by these things.
The first box was filled with Great China and Maotai liquor. Twelve cigarettes and twelve bottles of wine.
The second box is full of food.
"Tianfuhao" sauced pork elbow and pork head (the production was suspended in 1969 until production resumed in 1979, so the name was not changed), "Beijing Weixiang" sauced mutton and roasted mutton (renamed in "Movement", that is, "Yue Shengzhai")
, there are also several iron buckets of "egg yolk cakes" and "sandwich biscuits" bought from the "Qiushi Fruit Store" (renamed in "Sports", namely "Guilan Zhai"), plus two pounds of cherries, two pounds of yellow apricots, twelve
Canned fruits of various colors. Twelve canned meats.
As for the third box, there are entertainment items.
A small VCR, six stringed tapes and four blank tapes. In addition, there are four decks of playing cards, a set of badminton rackets, a tube of balls and dozens of various novels.
Well, not only do you have everything you need to eat, drink, smoke, and play, but they also have top-notch gadgets. That is absolutely considerate.
It's just that Yang Weifan's gratitude is a thank you, and the surprise is a surprise, but it also feels a bit heartbreaking.
Hong Yanwu's guess was not wrong at all. Although Xiangshan has picturesque scenery, fresh air, quietness and tranquility, the surrounding area is too cold and it is really only suitable for retirement. This kid's stay here is like a prison.
Every day he would either go out to exercise, train, or go on duty, eat in the cafeteria, or sleep in the dormitory. At most, he would wander around Xiangshan Mountain and buy a chicken with fellow villagers, and he would be so depressed that he would die of it.
As soon as I see these things, I can't help but be moved by the scene and feel a sense of sadness that "I don't know how long I will be stationed in Shajiabang."
Hong Yanwu saw Yang Weifan's concerns and advised him to be soft on his family and transfer him as soon as possible.
But he didn't expect that when he said this, Yang Weifan lamented. It was really "a child without a mother, it's a long story."
Then there was no need to talk nonsense. Yang Weifan went out to find two enamel jars, rinsed them with boiling water together with his own cup, then opened two bottles of Maotai and poured them into the three jars with a "gud dong dong" sound.
Just sauced pork elbows, roasted mutton, and washed cherries. While drinking, I poured out the bitter water to Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan!
I bet he is not stupid. He has been watching birds here for a month, and he understands the situation before he even gets to know the veteran cadres.
The so-called good man didn't want to suffer the immediate consequences, so he bowed his head to his family long ago, hoping that his parents would calm down and let him leave. Although he probably wouldn't be able to go back to Bincheng, it would be better to be transferred to a livelier place than here.
Unexpectedly, his parents were serious about it this time, insisting on keeping him here for three to five years to sharpen his temper.
It can be said that my father was so angry that he almost gave birth to a bullet wound due to his anger. It is understandable that his old illness relapsed. But this time, my mother would not help him, and she would not be soft-hearted no matter how much he begged.
It seems that if his parents don't treat him well, he will completely become a monkey tamed by Wuzhishan. They will never be merciful.
And the most awkward thing is that this area is jointly responsible for the Navy and the "General Logistics Department".
It was now convenient for "Jade Faced Rakshasa" Zhou Manna to come to him, and she came almost two or three times a week.
Just come, this little girl comes with great fanfare. Not only does she ride in Minister Zhou's "Jim" and bring him food and drinks, but she also always washes his clothes and arranges the house.
He was so frightened that he had to hide all his dirty clothes, and he didn't dare to neglect the cleanliness of the house. Whenever he met her, he would talk outside in a business-like manner, for fear of not being able to make things clear to her.
But all his defenses were in vain. Everyone in the dormitory, including the political commissar, vehicle management, clothing, political workers, military doctors and nurses, car squad soldiers, and even his own soldiers, all recognized that they were a couple.
, everyone believed that he was Minister Zhou’s future son-in-law.
If this continues, I'm afraid this matter will spread to the ears of retired veteran cadres. Is there anyone who has ever been a deputy dean? The old man of the deputy minister is too busy, calling his father or Minister Zhou to have a drink.
That would be big trouble!
Hong Yanwu also frowned when he heard this and said, "Yang Zi, I guess this "Jade Faced Rakshasa" just wants to use this hand to build momentum and push you step by step into her net. This little bitch is poisonous. She was just in Bin
She went to the train station to see you off, gave you "Chinese cigarettes" in front of everyone, and asked you to deliver things to her house. When everyone thinks so, you want to defend yourself.
It will only destroy your own reputation. I'm afraid I have to marry her even if I don't want to. But the point is... I thought about it a little more. Do you think your family members have something to do with this? Your mother loves you the most.
Yeah, it’s not normal for me to be so cruel to you this time..."
Ah! Keep it!
These words immediately made Yang Weifan's face turn pale!
Don't tell me, this is indeed a possibility.
But if this is the case, then not only will this place be very boring, it will also be extremely dangerous!
