Chapter 285 From 1943 to 2019
When the plane landed at Pudong International Airport, Wang Youcai's legs were still trembling.

More than ten hours ago, Wang Youcai saw such a big plane for the first time. He stood still and did not dare to move. After Yu Zhiqian helped him get on the plane and sat down, he asked tremblingly, "Is this the plane you mentioned? "

"Yes!"

"The little devil's plane was much smaller than this!" After Wang Youcai sighed, he became curious about the contents of the plane. This flight was a flight back to China, so most of the people were of yellow race. Only then did Wang Youcai feel a little intimacy.

When the plane took off and landed, Wang Youcai was nervously clutching the armrest, and sweat broke out on his forehead. It could be seen that all this had a great impact on him.

After getting off the plane, passing through the customs, and officially entering Shanghai, Wang Youcai stood in the middle of the crowd and looked around in a daze, "Sir, where is this?"

"Shanghai!"

"Shanghai?"

Wang Youcai swallowed his saliva as he looked at the elevated, clean roads, and various buildings with speeding vehicles outside the airport, "Is this Shanghai?"

"Yes, have you been to Shanghai before?"

Wang Youcai was a little confused, and nodded with a little uncertainty: "I have been here, in the 26th year of the Republic of China, when the little devils attacked Shanghai at that time, we rushed to support them, and retreated after not fighting much. I am so aggrieved! "

Yu Zhiqian calculated that in the 26th year of the Republic of China, that is, in 1937, the Battle of Songhu was held.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see Shanghai! Then go to Changde, I still have something to deliver!" After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, he took out an item wrapped in old tarpaulin from his pocket. When defending the city tower, the officer named Chen Hanmin entrusted it to him.

"it is good!"

After getting into a car, Yu Zhiqian and Wang Youcai drove towards the city center. As a magical capital, Shanghai is one of the largest cities in China, and its level of prosperity can be ranked among the highest in the world.

The vehicle was parked near the Bund. Wang Youcai looked at the intact buildings on both sides of the Bund, and patted his head: "Seeing these, I still have a little impression, that is the Baiwaidu Bridge, right? I have secretly looked there before. , that area is the concession of foreign devils, we can't go in!"

"Now the foreign devils have been beaten away by us. There is no such thing as a concession. We can go wherever we want!"

"That's great!" Wang Youcai's eyes were a little moist, and he looked at the surrounding skyscrapers and the Oriental Pearl Tower, wanting to record the appearance of these buildings in his mind, and go back and tell his brothers.

"This is a monument, but..."

Yu Zhiqian brought Wang Youcai to the monument beside the Bund. After Wang Youcai saw it, he saluted solemnly, and finally put down his hands slowly: "I am a soldier, and I don't understand the above things, whether it is the Kuomintang or the Communist Party. That’s right, I’m satisfied now that my compatriots are living in a world without war, and they have no worries about food and clothing. At that time, how dare we think about it!”

After finishing speaking, he wanted to take out a cigarette and gave Yu Zhiqian a cigarette: "Sir, I'm not afraid of making fun of you if you say it. At that time, when I was beating devils, I just thought that if I beat the devils away, I would be able to return." Now that we have planted the land at home, we don’t need to run around anymore, and now it seems that what we did was worth it!” Wang Youcai may be talking about himself, or maybe his comrades-in-arms.

In the afternoon, Yu Zhiqian took Wang Youcai to watch some documentaries on the development of the country over the years, which were projected and played in the hotel suite.

Like the people of that era, although Wang Youcai didn't know what an atomic bomb was, he still clapped his hands vigorously when he saw the explosion, feeling very excited.

In the evening, Yu Zhiqian and Yu Zhiqian went to eat the most authentic Chinese food together. Wang Youcai looked at the hairy crabs on the table and was a little dazed: "Sir, you said that this thing only costs more than 100 yuan? How much rice can you buy with 100 yuan?" ?”

"Huh? Let me calculate that rice costs about four yuan a catty, so I should be able to buy twenty or thirty catties of rice, right? Have you ever eaten it?"

Wang Youcai shook his head: "How can we never eat it before? At that time, we used this stuff to be eaten by the poor. We only ate it when we had nothing to eat, and there was no meat. It was difficult to eat, and no one liked it!"

Yu Zhiqian was taken aback when he heard it, well, it seems that this is really the case. It is said that during the Republic of China, the poor people in Shanghai relied on eating hairy crabs to satisfy their hunger, which seems to be true.

"More, more, more!" Seeing the table full of dishes, Wang Youcai became even more cautious. He had never seen anything except pork and crab, and he didn't know what to do with the chopsticks. Especially these exquisite arrangements, he had never dared to think about them before.

"Eat it, talented!"

"Sir, isn't this meal expensive?"

Yu Zhiqian did some calculations. This restaurant is not considered high-end, but he found it casually after encountering it. The average price per person is about [-] to [-]. He shook his head: "It's not very expensive, and ordinary people can come to eat a few times a month. !"

"That's it!"

After hearing that most people could afford it, Wang Youcai let go a little bit, added a large piece of beef, and put it in his bowl: "Beef is delicious, hehehe, in previous victories, General Yu killed a cow Divided, we even divided a little bit, this taste will never be forgotten for a lifetime!"

After finishing speaking, I stuffed it into my mouth with a big mouthful of rice. There were not many dishes, but there was a lot of rice. The dish is only a little bit.

"Don't worry, eat slowly, I like to eat beef, tomorrow I will take you to eat steak, eat every day!"

"What's a steak?"

"What Westerners eat is made of beef!"

"Then don't eat, the food of Westerners is not good!"

Wang Youcai shook his head and continued to eat. This meal may be the most comfortable meal Wang Youcai has eaten so much. You don’t have to worry about danger around you. There is meat, so you can eat it openly. While eating, you can smile happily But at the end of the meal, Wang Youcai's eyes became moist again, and he put down the bowl and chopsticks: "When many brothers died, they didn't have a serious meal!"

"It's all over. That era has passed. Now I dare not say that everyone in China can have enough to eat, but at least 90.00% of people above five can have enough to eat and don't need to go hungry!"

"Ok!"

Finally, after Wang Youcai knew that the restaurant would throw away the dishes if he couldn’t finish them, he ate all the food that Yu Zhigan ordered for at least five or six people, even some of the soup. People in that era did not have the habit of wasting food. .

ps: When I wrote this chapter, I deleted many times and wanted to write a lot, but finally found that I couldn’t do it because I didn’t have enough writing power. In fact, I also thought that if the older generation came to modern times and saw the current state of the country, Will you be satisfied.
