Return To 1977 Chapter 216: Life of senior cadres

lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!

Today's Bincheng has a nationally renowned tourist area.

Its nature is basically equivalent to the "Eastern Suburbs Alley" in Beijing, the "Five Avenues" in Tianjin, the "Bund" in Shanghai, or the "Eight Passes" in Qingdao.

That is the villa area at the foot of Nanshan composed of "Qiqi Street", "Jinan Street", "Wanghai Street" and "Shanlin Street".

This villa area is very close to Bencheng Government, Bencheng Railway Station, Bencheng Port and the largest commercial street "Laojinmen Street", making it an absolutely prime location.

Especially because of the beautiful scenery and hundreds of Japanese-style garden houses left behind, it is called "Nanshan Tourist Style Street".

So back then, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the situation was very similar to the situation when the "upper class" lived here during the Japanese occupation. It also became a living area for senior cadres.

For many years, everyone in Bincheng has known that the families who can occupy a small building in these streets are all Bincheng's dignitaries, so among the people, this place is also called the "aristocratic district."

The house that Yang Weifan took Hong Yanwu and the others to look at was a two-story small foreign-style building on the east side of "Wanghai Street" with its own courtyard door facing the street.

After parking the car at the gate, Yang Weifan gave a few people a general introduction to the nearby situation.

"Almost all the houses in these streets were built during the Japanese rule. In the past, they were all residences of senior officials of Japan's "Kanto Prefecture Agency." The most famous one is the castle-like three-story building across the street, because The exterior of the building is entirely made of limestone, and is commonly known as the "Stone Castle" by the common people. It is the official residence of the notorious and sinful Kawamoto Daisaku..."

"What? Who is Daisaku Kawamoto? Have you never heard of it? I'm sure you will be shocked if you tell me. This grandson is the head of the Japanese secret service in Bincheng. It is said that he single-handedly planned the 'Emperor' that shocked China and foreign countries. The "Gutun Incident" killed Zhang Zuolin, the "bearded commander"..."

"Ask about our house? It has a smaller origin. It seems that it was originally the residence of a Japanese military commander. Later, a Soviet expert lived there during the Sino-Soviet honeymoon period. In fact, this was not the original residence of our family. , I heard from my mother that when my father was an official in Bincheng, he seemed to have lived in Zhang Zongchang's villa. Later, it was taken back during the 'movement'. This is now when my father came back to take office after his comeback. The one provided is smaller than the original one..."

Yang Weifan's words undoubtedly revealed a lot, and Hong Yanwu and the others couldn't help but look at each other. No one said anything, they all suppressed the shock in their hearts, silently followed Yang Weifan out of the jeep, and watched him dig into his pocket to find the keys.

But it must be said that the conditions of this villa are really good, and it is suitable for storing sea cucumbers. There is definitely a lot of storage space, and the privacy is pretty good.

Looking from the outside, the building as a whole is not only protected by thick walls and iron gates, but several towering maple trees in the yard also act as a visual barrier, blocking several main windows, making it very uncomfortable. It was difficult to see what was going on inside the house.

When Yang Weifan opened the padlock of the door and everyone entered the yard, they realized that the structure and quality of the house were far better than what he had guessed outside the wall.

The walls of this villa are entirely made of beige rocks, the roof is covered with brown roof tiles, the wide and thick magenta doors open on opposite sides, the dazzling and long brass door handles are shining, and there is a door in front of the door. The lighted porch supported by tall stone pillars should be as grand as possible.

The only thing that is slightly regrettable is that the courtyard of the house is not large, and the basement exit reserved for burning the boiler takes up a lot of space. But the rest of it is also well-proportioned and has a unique mood. There is a rockery fish pond under the shade of the trees, a small bridge and flowing water, and the courtyard wall is covered with white roses.

Generally speaking, this house has a unique appearance and an elegant courtyard. You can deeply understand the identity of the owner at a glance. Even in this villa area, it should be top-notch.

At this moment, "General" and Chen Liquan finally couldn't help but marvel.

One said, "Yang Zi, this small mansion is not for ordinary people to live in! Your father's rank is too high, isn't it? What kind of official is he?"

Another one said, "In a few days, all the maple trees in the yard will change colors and it will be really awesome. From my perspective, you will almost catch up with the 'Shuangqing Villa' in Xiangshan."

Yang Weifan was self-aware and quickly shook his head.

"I'm telling you two, please don't praise me so much. 'Shuangqing Villa', that's where the great leader stayed, and you think too highly of my father. How can he compare with the great leader? That's even worse. There are several levels... To tell you the truth, my dad... he... is just an ordinary person. He smokes, drinks, scratches his feet, and loves to curse like the rest of the people..."

This is nonsense!

Seeing that Yang Weifan was very tight-lipped, he hesitated for a long time before uttering these words. Chen Liquan and "General" knew that people didn't like to talk about the situation at home, so they didn't continue to inquire further.

After all, Hong Yanwu is well-informed. Based on what he saw, he can already determine some of the situations behind it.

I couldn’t help but think: Damn, even though I knew this boy’s father was not young, I didn’t expect him to be so big. Looking at the posture, this boy's father is at least a cadre at the level of a large military region. It’s so evil that I can’t hide from it even if I want to in this life. The high-ranking official named Yang...who could that be? Alas, we still don’t know much about the naval force...

In this way, several people who had different feelings soon followed Yang Weifan into the house.

Only when they came in did they realize that it was surprisingly luxurious inside!

Take the living room as an example. It has narrow oak floors, decorative concave and convex patterns in the corners of the room, a bone gray marble fireplace under the snow-white walls, a crystal-clear chandelier and a large wooden ceiling fan hanging from the ceiling.

In addition, there are seven or eight leather sofas arranged around the coffee table like a conference room. It is actually almost the same as the decorations of the old social capitalists in the movie.

This cannot help but arouse the curiosity of "General" and Chen Liquan, as if "Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden", looking at the big rooms one after another.

There is also a study, dining room, kitchen, toilet, and two bedrooms downstairs. As for the upstairs, although there are not as many rooms as downstairs, they appear brighter.

The best thing is that from here, you can see the beautiful Nanshan Park in the distance, and looking down from the balcony makes people feel very majestic.

Of course, the layout of all rooms is also beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

There is a telephone in the study, a refrigerator in the dining room, an electric oven in the kitchen, a shower head and a flush toilet in the bathroom, and a spring-cushioned copper-cast wire bed in the bedroom. All of these make Chen Liquan and "General "It was dizzying to watch and amazing to experience.

The most amazing thing is that they went around in a circle, and finally found another strange pine box-like thing next to the radio on the wine cabinet in the living room, with an opaque gray glass on the front. No one could see it for a long time. Don't know what that is for.

They were confused, but fortunately Hong Yanwu gave the answer and told them that it was a "television set." He also explained that after opening it, you can see the picture and hear the sound, just like watching a short movie.

This naturally made Chen Liquan and the "general" very excited, but they did not expect that Yang Weifan showed a strange look, so this inevitably made them both skeptical.

But in fact, Yang Weifan was just surprised that Hong Yanwu knew this thing. He said that this "TV set" was imported from the Soviet Union, and the brand name was "Ruby". There were only a hundred sets in Bincheng, and no ordinary cadre had ever heard of it. He asked Hong Yanwu where he had seen him?

But Hong Yanwu just smiled flatly and said that if Yang Weifan revealed the details about his father, he would tell him the answer.

As a result, Yang Weifan could only close his mouth and smile without saying a word.

Both of them played riddles and talked in a secretive way. But they were right about one thing, the "television" thing is really amazing!

As Hong Yanwu started to plug in the power supply, and as soon as he flipped the switch control next to it, the gray glass turned into a bright color. Then, Hong Yanwu turned the platform control again, and a small figure actually appeared in the glass shaking.

Looking carefully, the guy inside was walking along the railway with a signal light. Then, the little man heard the voice of Li Yuhe, which is familiar to everyone today.

In the eyes of Chen Liquan and the "general", this is indeed curious.

The image on the screen is exactly the same as the "Red Lantern" shown in the cinema, except that there is no color and the image is much smaller.

And it's not very clear. Even the two lumps on Li Yuhe's face are blurry. Only Li Tiemei's fat face is big enough, and some details can be seen.

But no matter what, this is awesome enough! Think about it, who can show movies every day these days? It’s really luxurious!

So Chen Liquan and "General" still fully enjoyed the joy of surprise, their eyes were almost staring straight, and the two black faces were getting closer and closer to the TV.

Time passed slowly like this, and the model play gradually progressed to the last moment. Unexpectedly, when the old devil was about to kill Grandma Li, an accident happened.

As the old devil shouted, his hands covered the entire screen like iron forks.

Following the sound of "dong", Chen Liquan and "General" were so shocked that they both hit their heads against the TV.

Although the two of them have watched "Red Lantern" countless times in the cinema, they are no strangers to this scene. But because the contrast of the black-and-white TV was adjusted too strongly, the old devil's face was all frighteningly pale.

What's even more annoying is that there are some snowflakes floating on the screen at the same time.

The two of them were looking too intently, and their eyes were actually about to fall out of their sockets, and they were in unbearable pain.

As soon as this shocking shot appeared, the snow-green light on the screen made them feel dizzy. Their bodies floated up in an instant, and they involuntarily turned towards the screen. Plunged in.

Needless to say, Hong Yanwu and Yang Weifan couldn't help but laugh out loud when they saw their embarrassment.
