Sun Dahai really wanted to take a trip at the drop of a hat. But now he could only think about it. The thought of a trip at the drop of a hat was beautiful. In 1983, it was very difficult to implement it.
During this period, the socio-economic situation was not very good, tourism had not developed at all, and many famous scenic spots in the future were still in the wilderness.
In addition, you need a letter of introduction for everything you do, and you need to use national food stamps to eat. What's even more troublesome is that the bank does not have a general deposit and redemption service, so you can't just let Sun Dahai carry cash on his back and play around.
In addition, the domestic traffic situation is very poor. After all, there are very few places that can be reached by plane. Although hard sleeper or soft sleeper tickets can allow Sun Dahai to escape the mess of the old-fashioned green leather car, he still has to endure the same hardships as other passengers.
The suffering of the train at low speed.
Once you leave the radius of the airport and the nodes of the train network, the traffic situation becomes even worse.
You are lucky if you can ride on an old long-distance bus that emits black smoke and makes noisy noises everywhere. More forms of transportation require trucks, tractors and even animal-drawn vehicles.
In an unfamiliar environment, regardless of the time it takes, as long as you can reach your destination safely, that is the greatest victory.
You must know that in this era, it is really difficult for a person to travel around the country.
Sun Dahai hid in Mr. Huang's yard. Naturally, no one with a blind eye would go there to look for him. And... where could ordinary people break into a cadre's private residence at will?
Yes, Mr. Huang took the initiative and entered the first batch... The administrative level was naturally upgraded to one level... Correspondingly, his actual position was gone, and only the level salary and a few consultants were left.
Class of vacancies.
Huang Lao didn't care about this. He was cheerful all day long, usually laughing and playing with a group of old children, but when he had a job, everyone would take it seriously.
When their physical conditions permit, they often participate in grassroots research, going to factories, mines, schools, and rural grassroots to experience first-hand the tremendous changes that reform and opening up have brought to the country.
Huang Lao said to Sun Dahai with emotion that the central government's decision was really correct. A pragmatic advisory committee placed many veteran cadres in place so that they would not affect the normal operation of various departments of the country and give full play to their role.
Their residual enthusiasm and subjective initiative have really served multiple purposes, benefiting the country and the people."
Sun Dahai quickly flattered you: "You are a very upright person, and you took the initiative to take a back seat. Let me tell you, with your physical condition, there will be no problem at all if you can do a solid job for one or two more terms."
"You kid, you are talking nonsense again. As people get older, their reactions naturally slow down, and their body functions deteriorate even more.
If I have an assistant to help me, I can barely do some pragmatic work, but I definitely can't do pragmatic work now.
I am over seventy this year, I have no children, and I have long been indifferent to fame and fortune. Now that my superiors have made such an arrangement, I support it from the bottom of my heart."
One old and one young, they often talk nonsense like this without restraint, no one cares, and everyone lives happily.
Mr. Huang suddenly remembered something and asked Sun Dahai: "Dahai, the weather is hot now. Some of my old friends are going to Beidaihe Sanatorium to escape the summer heat. They can bring their families with them.
If you have nothing else to do and still want to hide and be quiet, I will take you to the beach for vacation. Well, you can take Yuanyuan and Dahe with you. There will be someone there who will take care of the children."
Sun Dahai blinked his eyes and said with some disdain: "What's so interesting about Beidaihe? It's said to be a sea, but in fact it's not worthy of the name. It's just a big sea bay.
If you want to go to the sea, you have to go to the South China Sea in China, not even the East China Sea, which smells like fish, let alone the Bo Sea and the Yellow Sea."
Mr. Huang didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "That's right. You just played in Xiangjiang last year. Of course you don't like Beidaihe."
"Grandpa, why did the leaders build a seaside sanatorium in Beidaihe? It's not interesting. Wouldn't it be better to build it in an island city, leaning against Laoshan Mountain and facing the Yellow Sea?"
"How can the leaders stay away from this important place in the capital? Beidaihe is right on the edge of the capital. If something happens, you can drive back in a few hours, and it is not easily affected by other factors.
If you go to the island city, if something happens and the weather conditions are bad, the plane will not be able to fly. With the current train speed or road conditions, it will take at least half a day to get back. How much delay will it take?
Besides, take a good look at the map.
Beidaihe's geographical location is very advantageous. There are Liaodong Peninsula and Jiaodong Peninsula outside, like two closed fists, guarding Beidaihe. It has strategic depth and a high safety factor.
And what about the island city? It faces the sea, and not far across the way is South Korea. They haven’t established diplomatic relations with our country yet. The leaders can’t hold meetings or recuperate in such a place."
Is there so much emphasis on choosing the location of a nursing home? Sun Dahai had never thought much about this issue before. Only after Huang Laoyi explained it did he understand the routine. His knowledge increased again, and Sun Dahai accepted the teachings humbly.
"You have already gone to the beach. Yuanyuan and Dahe haven't been there yet. Do you want to go this time?"
"Of course I'm going. I'll tell my parents when I get back and ask for leave for Yuanyuan and the others. Grandpa, how long will it take to go this time? If you need to pay, just tell me. You know, I'm not short of money."
"Haha, I know you are a little rich man. However, this is the first time for grandpa to take you to a distant place, and he still wants you to spend money.
Don’t worry, we have a recuperation plan every year, and you can bring family members with you. It’s called ‘family accompanying’, which is considered a kind of benefit. The relevant expenses are all borne by the state.
I am a lonely old man. I was busy in the past two years and have never been there once. Now that I am free, I can take my three children to a nursing home for a few days. There will be no problem.
For us, there is no time limit for staying in a nursing home. The specific amount of stay is determined based on personal needs and the advice of the health care team doctor.
There’s no need for us to hang out there, we can just play for a week and then we’ll come back.”
After dinner time, Sun Dahai sneaked home and told Sun Weiguo and Li Cuifeng what Mr. Huang had thought.
Of course they would not object, they just asked Sun Dahai to take good care of Mr. Huang and be optimistic about the second child, so as not to let the two little guys affect others.
You know, the nursing home where Mr. Huang went was of a very high level. Anyone there might be a former or current party or state leader. No matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful.
On Saturday afternoon, when Sun Dahai picked up the second primary school, he told them the news, which made them extremely happy. Li Cuifeng had already called the kindergarten director Jia to ask for leave for the second primary school.
In 1983, in the huge capital, it was impossible to find a swimsuit suitable for the second child.
Fortunately, Sun Dahai is a good brother. When he was in Xiangjiang, he bought a complete set of children's swimming equipment for the second child, including swimsuits, swimming goggles, ear and nose plugs, floats, lifebuoys, etc. He originally wanted to take the second child with him during the summer vacation.
When I was young, I went to the swimming pool to learn how to swim.
