Return To 1977 Chapter 464: Condolences


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

The moving deadline given by the catering company ends on Sunday, May 13th this week, 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. One thing is that her things are too messy and complicated, and she really needs to sort them out into categories.

The other 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 just went to the scrap station to buy some clean waste cartons for "Tang Xin'er", and then gave her a slap in the face and left her to deal with it.

"Tang Xin'er" is fine for the time being. The renovation 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 master, and he must be extremely uncomfortable in the atmosphere of a sanatorium. What's more, he didn't even visit him on May Day. Hong Yanwu also asked him to buy a sleeper ticket for "Auntie Bao", and he probably complained about it 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 "symbols" and went straight to the west of Beijing.

The taxi fare method at that time was based on the odometer.

The fee is 50 cents per kilometer. The starting base price is four kilometers and the fee is two yuan. There is no charge for stopping for less than half an hour, and there is a fee of 50 cents for every half hour for more than half an hour. For one-way trips five kilometers outside the capital, an additional 10 cents per kilometer will be charged for empty driving.

It stands to reason that the "Naval Cadre Rest House" where Yang Weifan is on duty is at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain, and the entire distance is only twenty-five kilometers. According to this pricing method, it doesn't matter how much it costs fifteen 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 go this way.

The only way was to increase the price. Hong Yanwu finally filled out the chartered car form and paid twenty-five yuan. They also gave the driver a box of "friendship", and then the driver happily greeted them on their way.

No way, this is the peculiarity of the times.

But then again, there is no need to spend money.

Hong Yanwu and the others started setting off at around 1:30, and arrived at the "Naval Cadre 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. Set up as a regiment level establishment. In an era when political ideology was dominant at that time, the guard level was not low. How could you let outsiders in so casually? Of course, this is all his responsibility.

So Yang Weifan didn't bother to chat with them, and angrily went to the gate sentry to train the two soldiers on duty.

Hong Yanwu quickly pulled his arm to stop him.

"Don't do it. We have come 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, Well, to be fair, it’s not like the two little soldiers were standing guard. How old are they? They are not from the capital. Do they really think they are leaders when they see a car? When training people, you must first review whether you have received relevant education. It is not enough to punish people without teaching..."

Yang Weifan laughed after hearing this.

"You can do it! You can really do it! You first recite a lesson to me without saying anything, and then you teach me a lesson. Even good people let you do it!"

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, just ask the driver. In other words, this car can go everywhere in Beijing except the embassy and Zhongnanhai. There's no place that can't be entered. It's not just your soldiers, it's full of holes. Come on, stop talking."

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 is full of Greater China and Maotai liquor. Twelve cigarettes and twelve bottles of wine.

The second box is full of food.

The sauced pork knuckles and pork heads of "Tianfu Hao" (which was suspended in 1969 until production was resumed in 1979, so the name was not changed), the sauced mutton and roasted mutton of "Beijing Weixiang" (the name was changed in "Movement", that is, "Yue Sheng" Zhai"), and several iron buckets of "egg yolk cakes" and "sandwich biscuits" bought from "Qiushi Fruit Store" (renamed in "Movement", namely "Guilan Zhai"), plus two pounds of cherries and two pounds of yellow apricots. , twelve canned fruits of various colors. Twelve cans of meat.

As for the third box, there are entertainment items.

A small VCR, with six stringed tapes and four blank tapes. There are also four decks of playing cards, a set of badminton rackets, a tube of **** and dozens of various novels.

Well, not only is there everything you need to eat, drink, smoke, and play, but it’s also all top-notch goodies. That is absolutely considerate.

It’s just that Yang Weifan’s thanks are gratitude, and the surprise is a surprise, but it’s also a bit heartbreaking.

Hong Yanwu's guess was not wrong at all. Although Xiangshan is picturesque, the air is fresh, quiet and comfortable. But the surrounding area here is too cold and it is really only suitable for retirement. This kid staying here is like a prison.

Every day he is either going out for exercises, training, or on duty, eating in the cafeteria, or sleeping in the dormitory. At most, I would go wandering around Xiangshan Mountain and buy a chicken to eat with my fellow villagers, and I would have been feeling depressed to death.

When I see these things, I can't help but feel emotional about the scene, and I feel sad 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 with his family and transfer him away as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, Yang Weifan sighed even more when he said these words. That's really "a child without a mother, it's a long story".

Don't talk nonsense anymore. 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 three jars.

Just sauced elbows, roasted lamb, and washed cherries. While drinking, I was pouring out the bitter water to Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan!

I dare say he is not stupid. He has been watching birds here for a month, and he understands the situation before he even gets acquainted with the veteran cadres.

The so-called good man would have bowed his head to his family long ago, hoping that his parents would calm down and let him go. Although Bincheng will probably never go back, it would be better to be transferred to a livelier place than here.

Unexpectedly, this time his parents were serious about it and insisted on keeping him here for three to five years to sharpen his temper.

To say that my father was so angry that he almost suffered a bullet wound due to his anger, it is understandable that he would relapse. But this time, his mother wouldn't help him, no matter how much he begged, she wouldn't be soft-hearted.

It seems that if his parents don't treat him well, he will become a monkey tamed by Wuzhishan. It is absolutely impossible to show mercy.

And the most awkward thing is that this boundary is jointly responsible for the Navy and the "General Logistics Department".

It is now convenient for "Jade Faced Rakshasa" Zhou Manna to come to him, and she comes almost two or three times a week.

Come on, come on, this little girl comes in a big way. 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. Every time he met her, he would talk outside in a business-like manner, for fear that he would be confused with her.

But all his defenses were in vain. The people in the dormitory, the director's political commissar, the vehicle management, clothing, political workers, military doctors and nurses, the car squad soldiers, and even his own soldiers all recognized that they were A couple of them all believed that he was Minister Zhou's future son-in-law.

If this continues, I'm afraid this matter will reach the ears of retired veteran cadres. If anyone has ever been a vice-dean, if the old man who is the vice-minister is a meddlesome man, calling his father or Minister Zhou to have a drink with him, that would be a 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 into her net step by step. This little **** is poisonous, just Back in Bincheng, 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. It was the same trick when everyone thought so. If you try to defend yourself, you will only ruin your reputation. I'm afraid you have to marry her even if you don't want to. But the point is... I thought about it a little more. Do you think your family has something to do with this? I love you the most. It’s not normal to be so cruel to you this time..."

Ah! Keep it!

These words immediately made Yang Weifan’s face turn pale! It's like Tang Monk entered Pansi Cave!

Don't say it, it is indeed possible.

But if this is the case, not only will this place be very boring, it will also be extremely dangerous!
