Return To 1977 Chapter 1021: Both trees and grass are soldiers

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

Hong Yanwu was not in time to witness the tragic scene.

When he and Chen Liquan came back half an hour later, the family's emotions had returned to normal.

Everyone is sitting together, making out and talking as usual.

The atmosphere in the room was like a warm spring breeze, which had already melted away all of Chacai's bad emotions.

As soon as they entered the door and saw the scene in the room, they were stunned for a moment.

This cousin from Hong Kong, whom they met for the first time, had already stood up and greeted him.

Then under Hong Yanzheng’s recommendation, he extended his thick hands to them one after another.

"Quanzi, Xiaowu, I am Hong Yankang, your eldest brother..."

Especially for Hong Yanwu, he didn't just shake hands, he hugged him hard and thanked him repeatedly.

Said that if it weren't for him, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to meet today.

Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were stunned in embarrassment on the spot, and neither of them understood where to start.

But everyone obviously already knew the inside story. Seeing their confused look, they couldn't help but chuckle.

It wasn't until Hong Yankang explained it again that Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan understood what was going on.

I couldn't help but feel happy afterwards.

We have to start talking about this when Hong Yankang set off from Hong Kong.

Having made up his mind to come to the mainland to find relatives, Hong Yankang began to pay close attention to the policies and news on the mainland in Hong Kong.

But let’s be honest, with many conflicting sources of information and generally negative news and coverage.

This reminds me of his father’s argument that “united front propaganda cannot be trusted.”

Before he even started, he was already a little confused.

In fact, after he took care of family affairs, completed the "returning procedures" and really set off. My personal experience during the trip was also very bad.

You must know that direct flights between Kai Tak Airport and Capital Airport were not yet available at that time.

You must first go to Huacheng and transfer from Baiyun Airport to fly to Beijing.

As a result, while waiting for a connecting flight, Hong Yankang witnessed with his own eyes a Hong Kong citizen who was on the same plane as him. Just because there was a discrepancy between the back page of the return introduction letter and the actual items he was carrying, he was directly given away by the mainland. Forced repatriation.

In particular, the attitude of the mainland staff was quite indifferent and they did not listen to the explanation at all, which made him feel very unhuman.

In the end, I flew to the capital and stayed in a hotel.

There was something wrong with the hotel he had booked. For some reason, the date was wrongly given to him by one day.

The most annoying thing was that the hotel gave the only remaining suite to a European guest who came behind him in front of him.

It would be useless even if he complained to the hotel management about the discrimination he suffered.

Because the store owner actually told him that this was the instruction from his superiors, and that foreign guests should be given priority.

So in the end he had to catch fire and took a taxi to stay somewhere else.

But even during such a short car ride, the information he got shocked him.

After he chatted with the driver, he realized that situations like the one he encountered had become a common phenomenon in the capital.

Everywhere, white people are ranked first, Japanese are second, overseas Chinese are third, and compatriots from Hong Kong and Macao are fourth. People are not surprised.

The local people in the capital are even worse, unable to get their turn.

What was even more unexpected to him was that all the old city walls in the capital had been demolished decades earlier.

The reason was actually something he couldn't understand at all: "Only by breaking the old feudal shackles can we develop better."

After that, after he finally settled in the hotel, he wanted to go out to the bank to do some business, which was just as awkward.

In his impression, the people in the capital should be the most polite, polite, courteous, and kind-hearted.

As soon as I left the hotel, there were cold faces everywhere.

Not to mention the employees at the service desk, there is no smile on their faces, they are all arrogant, giving the impression that they don't bother to talk to you.

Even the old people on the street are very aggressive.

If he accidentally dropped a piece of white paper while wiping his nose, he would be fined.

The old lady with the red armband was punished. She didn’t know what her position was, and her temper was several times more violent than Dr. Tea in Hong Kong.

And the large-character slogans on the walls "Serve the People" and "Long Live the Proletariat" are even more shocking, constantly reminding him of his identity as a class enemy.

Especially near Chang'an Street, there are always some bright-eyed disciple soldiers coming and going.

There was a red star on these hats and two red collar badges, which he had only seen in movies before.

The first time it appeared in front of him at close range reminded him of what his father had said about soldiers who could drink blood to quench their thirst.

My heart was naturally beating with fright.

What was even more unexpected was that one time on Nanlishi Road, he was stopped by some soldiers and checked carefully.

I later learned that people like him have a range of activities.

Once a foreigner stop sign is posted, it is not allowed to enter the restricted area.

In this way, when he went back, he was frightened and began to have thoughts.

Feeling that this place is too evil, the capital is really not what he knew when he was a child, and he can't even walk around casually.

So what should we do?

He really thought about his father's suggestion to change his clothes. He felt that he really couldn't be so conspicuous anymore in order to find the whereabouts of his relatives in the capital.

So, he bought a mainland Chinese "people's costume" and put it on.

The pleasant temperament cannot be changed, and he is dressed in a nondescript manner, which makes it easier for him to attract vigilance and scrutiny.

Just like on May 27, although he found the old house, he happened to encounter the Hong family's door being closed.

Didn’t Li Fu go to Xiaoyanglou to help out today?

But Hong Yankang doesn’t know.

After taking pictures for a long time, he didn't even open the door. Instead, he called out several neighbors across the street.

When these people saw him like this, they all felt suspicious, so they naturally came over to interrogate him.

What’s even more ridiculous is that almost all of these neighbors moved here after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, and they don’t know much about the Hong family’s background.

After finally figuring out his identity, I heard that he came to look for relatives and asked about who lived there.

These people self-righteously told him that a high-ranking official lived inside.

It is said that this family does not usually live here, maybe there are too many rooms at home.

However, in the first two years, the children of this family got married with great fanfare, and the door was full of cars.

After all, he is at the deputy department level.

This was good. Hong Yankang was so frightened that he didn't dare to knock anymore. He really thought that his house had been taken away, so he hurried away.

After running out of options, he had no choice but to use the relevant civil affairs departments of the government to help find him.

I didn’t expect to get the letter very quickly.

Because the Hong family received a deposit returned from a foreign bank a few years ago, the civil affairs department in the capital kept a record of it, so he had a public phone in Furuli and successfully contacted the Hong family.

But who would have imagined? Hong Yanzheng unexpectedly hung up the phone again, and now Hong Yankang was thinking wildly again.

He was just wondering, is it because the second uncle is afraid of being implicated and doesn't dare to recognize me?

Will I cause trouble for them when I come back?

He was quite confused. He really wanted to return to Hong Kong first because he could not drag down his second uncle's family.

If Hong Yanwu hadn't made a missing person advertisement like a text message on the TV station.

Let him see it and get rid of doubts.

He really doesn’t have the courage to come again. He might be on the plane back.

Isn’t this Hong Yanwu’s contribution?

All in all, this happened because of many coincidences.

It is also because Hong Yankang is too powerful.

It’s just a guilty conscience, I scared myself.

Fortunately, there was a false alarm and finally got back on track.

Otherwise, it would really be a big regrettable and helpless joke.
