Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 105, Mixed into the service department.

Although the canteen of the commune also has meat, it is far from this.

Everyone was eating happily there.

Even Yang Guangchun and Qian Hongying were not polite, they ate meat and rice without any pretension.

This improved the favorability of several people a lot.

If someone like a young lady comes, the few people will be a little restrained.

Several people chatted while eating.

From time to time, someone greeted Yang Guangchun and Qian Hongying.

Three catties of rice, an average of half a catty per person, plus a few dishes, everyone ate cleanly, even the broth was soaked in rice and dried up.

After eating, Yang Guangzhi was a little embarrassed.

But seeing Qian Hongying also cooking rice with vegetable soup made her feel better.

Seeing the expressions of several people, Qian Hongying smiled: "It's better to go back to China! When we were on the side of the Yalu River before, the fried flour we ate was soybean and corn flour with some salt. After it was cooked, it was covered with snow. Eat, this is not enough."

Several people nodded when they heard the words.

They had heard about the tragic situation over there.

People nearby came late, and a group of people chatted while eating, either smoking or drinking.

After a few people had eaten, these people were still eating.

After leaving the cafeteria, everyone came to the factory area. Yang Guangchun said to them: "Guangzhi, wait for me, I'll ask for a leave of absence, and I'll take you to my house later. Hongying, please take a leave of absence too!" "

"Hey, good!"

Qian Hongying smiled and agreed.

Then the two went to their own departments.

A few people were left here waiting blankly.

And from time to time on the road, a little girl passed by laughing and looking at a few people curiously.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Yang Guangchun and Qian Hongying finally arrived beside them.

Pushing the bicycle, Yang Guangchun greeted Yang Guangzhi with a smile.

"Let's go, take you to know the way, and we will meet you when you come here later."

On the other hand, Qian Hongying and Wang Qiuju were talking while walking.

The two Yang Xiaogang brothers followed and walked towards the outside of the factory together.

Listening to Qian Hongying talking with her mother Wang Qiuju, Yang Xiaole knew that Qian Hongying also had an older brother and an old mother in her family.

In 47, when he was 13 years old, he followed the army from Henan to Kyoto.

At the age of 18, the last group followed the troops across the Yalu River, and he was considered a fateful person.

Several people walked and chatted, and returned to the uncle's residence.

There is also a happy word on the door.

After coming in this time, it was not the same as last time. The furniture inside was basically new.

There are obvious traces of just getting married, and the furniture and windows are pasted with happy words.

"sit down!"

Yang Guangchun gestured to several people, and then complained: "You should have come here last night, and you can have a meal together!"

Yang Guangzhi said with a smile: "When we met Xiao Gang, it was already around ten o'clock in the evening. It was too late. Even if we came, we would not be able to catch up."

Hearing this, Yang Guangchun nodded lightly, indeed.

The transportation is inconvenient now.

And Qian Hongying went to make tea for everyone.

Yang Xiaole glanced at it, as expected of a cadre, the tea she drank was not the kind of high foam that was broken.

The cup is a white porcelain cup.

Yang Guangzhi took the water glass and thanked him, thought for a while and said to Yang Guangchun, "By the way, brother, the old lady asked me to give you a word."

Hearing the old lady, Yang Guangchun's smile decreased a lot.

After passing Yang Guangzhi a cigarette, he asked, "What did she say?"

"She asked you to find a job in the city for the second child of the Guangping family, Xiaohu."

Hearing this, Yang Guangchun complained directly: "Go to the ball, I will find a job for the second family? How did I go to be a soldier before, she forgot? Did she also forget how you divided the family?

You even kicked your nose on your face, you and I didn't go to the back door to get a job, so I did it for him?What are you thinking? "

After finishing speaking, he took the lighter and lit a cigarette for Yang Guangzhi, and then lit it for himself.

Then he said: "It's because of my father that I didn't turn against her when I went back. After all, the old couple have been together for more than 20 years. I don't want to be so ugly."

Yang Guangzhi nodded lightly. He also meant the same, and then said: "Brother, let me tell you what's going on. When you go back in a few days, they will definitely ask you. You have an idea in mind."

Hearing this, Yang Guangchun thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay, I understand, let them find me when I go back."

After speaking, he watched Yang Guangzhi staring at the lighter in his hand.

He smiled and handed it over: "Here, this is for you. This is what I seized there before. There is another one. I'll look for it."

"Hey, I don't want it, I'm just curious about this thing!"

Yang Guangzhi felt a little embarrassed.

"Hi! Why are you being polite to me! I still have one!"

After finishing speaking, he went into the house and rummaged for a while, and came out with an old lighter.

Already somewhat mottled and scratched.

Next to it was a small can of kerosene.

Yang Guangchun fiddled there.

Yang Xiaole glanced at it, and it was very similar to those Zippo lighters of later generations, basically the same.

In fact, Zippo's ordinary lighters are just lighters used by ordinary people in Laomei, but they have become high-end goods and luxury goods in the mainland.

No way, foreign gadgets are high-end.

However, more reasons are due to productivity. It is also a rarity for a lighter of 1 yuan to be placed here in later generations.

"Wipe~~"

Add kerosene, and it ignites in one go.

Yang Guangchun tried a few times before he said with a smile: "Okay, you take that one, I'll use this one. If it doesn't work, it's not broken, it's because it's out of gas, just add some kerosene."

Hearing this, Yang Guangzhi played with it for a while, and then put it away strangely.

Where have you seen this thing!
Qian Hongying went to the house, and came out shortly afterwards with a bag in her hand.

Put the things on the table, and said to several people with a smile: "Come on, eat some melon seeds and peanuts, there are candies in it, take whatever you want, don't be polite! I'll get angry if you're polite."

Wang Qiuju and the others looked at the things in the bag and grabbed some with a smile.

A few people sat there and chatted, after all, they walked too hastily last time.

Yang Xiaole sat there bored, and the electric fan blew on several people, making them less stuffy.

Thinking about the house, he still had to ask for his wife.

Otherwise, the old lady would not be able to make up her mind.

So he asked Yang Guangchun: "Uncle, my mother wants to let my elder brother come out and rent a house by himself when the conditions are good in the future. After all, he will get married in the future! She is still hesitating whether to rent three rooms or two rooms. "

Seeing this, Yang Guangchun glanced at Xiaogang and smiled: "Well, Xiaogang is too young, it's time to find one, rent a few rooms and you can figure it out yourself, I suggest you don't be so anxious now, or renting is a waste of money When he is about to get married, he will rent two rooms, and see if he can rent three rooms when he has more children."

Yang Xiaole nodded, and said, "It means that if there are few people, we can rent two rooms, and if there are more people, we can rent three rooms, right?"

After speaking, he raised his eyebrows at his mother Wang Qiuju.

You hear me.

Three fit.

Yang Guangchun didn't know what was going on, so he nodded his head: "Well, but the rent is too high, so take your time in the future! Maybe it's the turn of the unit to divide the house!"

But Yang Guangzhi and Wang Qiuju looked at each other with some hesitation.

But he didn't say anything.

After all, it was said before.

On the other hand, Yang Guangzhi felt a little guilty, feeling that he had lied to his elder brother.

Several people were chatting, Yang Xiaole glanced at Yang Guangzhi, and asked him: "By the way, Dad, when are we leaving?"

Yang Guangzhi thought for a while and said, "Let's go tonight. I'll just go to the mine tomorrow morning."

Yang Xiaole hummed, glanced at the elder brother, and said: "Father, you are not in a hurry to leave anyway, why don't I go to the city with the elder brother, I haven't played in the city yet! The elder brother goes to work every day, I'm sure I haven't played much. Okay?"

Yang Guangchun next to him also nodded when he saw this: "Okay, let the two of them go and have fun, we brothers have a good chat, we don't have time to chat."

Yang Guangzhi thought for a while, this guy knew the way, and finally agreed: "Okay, you guys go, don't cause trouble, remember to come back before dinner tonight."

After getting the answer, Yang Xiaole was very happy for a while.

Pushed Yang Xiaogang next to him: "Brother, let's go, take me to play!"

Yang Xiaogang stood up in a daze, I'm not familiar with you yet!What am I going to take you to play with!

But he was also flustered for a while.

Then the two greeted each other and left the room.

Standing at the door, Yang Xiaole thought for a while and shouted inside: "Father, come out!"

Yang Guangzhi came out curiously.

"what?"

Yang Xiaole rolled her eyes: "Father, give me some money and proof! Otherwise, won't it be troublesome if I get caught?"

Then he asked in a low voice: "Father, do you want me to help your mother rent the house, so that you don't have to worry about it?"

Yang Guangzhi thought for a while and finally shook his head: "Forget it, your mother will go back this time and rent a house after the formalities are completed, which will save a few days of money!"

After speaking, handed him the certificate and 1 yuan.

I still don’t forget to explain: “Don’t waste money, remember to return the unused ones to me.”

Yang Xiaole was speechless for a while, took the things, agreed and went downstairs with the eldest brother.

When he came outside, the eldest brother looked at him and asked, "Xiao Le, where are you going to play! I don't even know him."

"Hurry up, let's go and talk."

Yang Xiaole urged him, and hurried to the bus stop outside.

The two came here and waited for a while before the car came. They bought a ticket and boarded the car, heading towards the city.

Walking on the road, Yang Xiaole asked: "Brother, why don't you go to the movies? Have you seen movies here?"

Yang Xiaogang shook his head: "No! I don't have time, and I don't want to see it."

Yang Xiaole ordered a little, it's really good, and I can't bear a few cents.

The car entered the city and got off at the fork near Wangfujing. According to Su Ling, the International Friends Service Department is nearby.

He was going to see it alone.

When I got to the place, I got off the car and walked towards the commercial street.

Although the scenery on this road is still very dilapidated in his opinion, it is already one of the most prosperous places in this era.

He didn't pay much attention to the century-old shops on the side of the road or the modern shopping malls in Xingai.

His eyes searched the cinema all around.

Let's see where to put the big brother.

After buying two bottles of soda, the two walked around the street.

"Xiao Le, where are we going?"

Yang Xiaole shook her head: "I don't know! Let's take a look, we can't afford the things inside, so you can just take a look!"

"Forget it, why don't you buy it?"

Hearing the restrained words of the elder brother, Yang Xiaole shook his head.

really do.

This is not used to big cities.

Forget it, you will get used to it after staying in the city for a while.

As he walked, his eyes lit up when he saw the cinema in front of him.

Found a place.

"Go, go to the cinema!"

After speaking, he walked over quickly.

When I came to the front, I asked the conductor at the window.

The most recent one was half an hour later, and "The Cuckoo Crows Again" lasted 90 minutes.

Yang Xiaole has seen this and knows that this TV belongs to the current movie about love.

Well, this one is for big brother.

Open your mind.

Including the waiting time, a total of 2 hours is enough for him to go out for a while.

It directly cost 1 cent 2 to buy a ticket.

Yang Xiaogang was surprised when he took the money, "Why do you only have one? Don't you want to read it?"

Yang Xiaole handed him 2 yuan and said, "Brother, I still have something to do and you just watch a movie here. If I haven't come back after the end, you can continue to watch the next movie, do you hear me?"

"Then what are you doing?"

"Hey, don't worry about me. I have something to do. Don't talk about it when I go back! It's okay, I won't tell you. I'm leaving. You can buy whatever you want for that money, and buy a bottle of soda to drink."

He said hello and ran away.

Seeing Yang Xiaole run away, Yang Xiaogang knew what this guy might be doing.

I still have some worries in my heart.

After watching the movie theater, I finally thought about it, and I was still quietly waiting for the movie to start.

Yang Xiaole came out of the movie and walked towards the neighborhood.

Because this is a commercial street, it is very prosperous, and there are many people on the road.

There are a lot of people in Kyoto, and there are also a lot of people who don't go to work.

I inquired about the location of the International Friends Service Department, and it was less than two miles away, and it only took about ten minutes to walk.

According to the location mentioned by the other party, he walked quietly through the alley and came to Donghuangchenggen South Street.

Go forward for a while and come to the vicinity of Donghua Gate.

At a glance, I saw the big building in front of me.

There is a huge sign: International Friends Service Department.

The four-story concrete building has tiles that are rarely seen in this era on the walls, and the outer walls are made of small 0 glass.

It looks very classy.

Looking around, he looked at a construction waste pile diagonally opposite, ran over, and quietly entered the space to change a set of clothes.

Pushing the bicycle and walking towards the store.

There are a total of five foreign exchange shops and this one international friend service department in Kyoto.

Foreigners, overseas Chinese, and overseas Chinese in the whole of Kyoto shop in these stores, so there are naturally not too few people.

I pondered a bit there.

He looked at a man of about thirty with a backpack not far away.

The other party squatted there smoking, but kept staring at the surroundings. When meeting someone who looked like a foreigner, he immediately pretended to know him and said hello.

Yang Xiaole knew at a glance that this was not a serious person.

After thinking for a while, he pushed the cart and walked over here.

The other party saw his gaze, smiled and nodded, and ignored him!

"hello!"

No matter what, I went to high school in my previous life, even if my grades are poor, I still know some basic expressions.

Hearing this, the other party's eyes lit up and he threw away the cigarette.

He looked around and walked over.

This is a child of overseas Chinese!

"Many, Ikes owes money, Mud Day, Mani."

Yang Xiaole understood the patchwork English, "Money, exchange, Renminbi."

This is to collect foreign exchange or exchange foreign exchange.

“How much is it to exchange one dollar for RMB! (How much is it to exchange one dollar for RMB.)”

Yang Xiaole spoke there in broken English.

"Oh, Dao Le, five, five!"

Yang Xiaole did some calculations, and the exchange rate has doubled, which is too scary.

Because the current exchange rate to the US dollar is 2.49, which is almost double the ratio.

After thinking about it, it is not surprising.

The people who exchanged this money were basically rich people from the mainland, and they were eager to get the money, so the purpose was self-evident.

Get out.

After thinking about it, I asked directly in Chinese: "What about Hong Kong dollars? What's the price now?"

He knows about Hong Kong dollars, 100 Hong Kong dollars can be exchanged for RMB 42 7, which is less than half.

The other party was stunned for a moment when he said noon, and then smiled awkwardly: "You can speak Chinese, you are making fun of me!"

He didn't say much, though.

I thought Yang Xiaole was a child of overseas Chinese!
Then he said: "In terms of Hong Kong dollars, one yuan can be exchanged for 9 cents."

Yang Xiaole nodded when he heard the price, it was almost twice as much.

"What about the overseas remittance certificate?"

"Overseas remittance coupons are cheaper, the price is 1:1.2, besides, it's useless if you want that thing!"

The man looked around carefully while explaining patiently.

Yang Xiaole nodded lightly. The overseas remittance certificate is different from the later foreign exchange certificate. The overseas remittance certificate is equivalent to a food stamp. Only with this can you buy things, and you have to pay additional money.

The later foreign exchange certificates are actually money, with the words foreign exchange certificates printed on them.

It can be directly regarded as a mixture of money and tickets.Used to buy things.

After explaining for a long time, the man still asked politely: "Little friend, do you have any foreign exchange at home that you want to exchange for us? Make sure the price is fair."

Yang Xiaole thought for a while, but still shook his head: "I don't have foreign exchange, so I just want to ask how to get in the service department for foreign friends?"

Hearing his words, the man's face was not good.

"No foreign exchange? You can't get in either? Then give me a bang for a long time. Bad luck."

He thought Yang Xiaole was a child of overseas Chinese!

For a long time, he was also a mainlander who couldn't get in.
However, in line with the principle of making money with kindness, he didn't say too much, and went back to the side of the road to squat there.

He took out a cigarette and lit it.

I didn't talk to him again.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole leaned over and smiled and said, "Brother, how do I get in here? Can you ask someone to help me in?"

The other party glanced at him, and said angrily: "You know foreign language yourself, you won't find someone to take you in!"

Yang Xiaole shrugged.

Damn it, my three-legged cat's English is just as good as yours, so it's really useless when I meet foreigners.

However, foreign exchange certificates are still required to enter.

Thinking of this, he took out 24 yuan and handed it to him: "Then you give me 20 yuan of foreign exchange certificates, do you have it?"

Seeing that he took the money, the man returned to his smile.

"Hey, I have this one, but it costs 1 yuan."

Seeing Yang Xiaole frowning after speaking, he hurriedly said, "1 yuan 2 is the price we charge, you can't let us do it for nothing!"

Yang Xiaole calculated the money in his hand, and there was not much left.

But the things inside are not expensive, so buy a little less and try first.

"All right, give me ten dollars."

A few more money were withdrawn, and the remaining 15 yuan was there.

The man took the money with a smile, and handed him a ten-yuan overseas remittance coupon.

Yang Xiaole took the things and left immediately.

He came under the tree diagonally opposite, so that the doorman at the main entrance could not see him, and looked for prey there.

After a while, a woman in a long gown brought a three or four-year-old boy over.

Wearing an embroidered garment.

It gave him the feeling of a rich lady in Shanghai.

"Hey, sister!"

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole hurried over, because when the other party was talking to the child in his arms, he was looking at the service department.

It should be going in.

Hearing the voice, the other party turned his head to look, and asked strangely: "Are you... are you calling me?"

"Yes, sister, I call you!"

Hearing this address, the woman covered her mouth and smiled: "Shouldn't you call me auntie? Why do you call me sister!"

"I think you are as old as my sister."

Yang Xiaole said innocently.

But the opponent is really not big, about 26 seven.

Anyone who is called like this is happy in his heart, so he smiled and said: "Hehe, what do you want me to do?"

"Sister, I want to enter the Foreign Friends Service Department, can you take me in?"

After Yang Xiaole finished speaking, he said, "Oh, yes, I have a remittance certificate."

The woman looked around: "Little friend, where is your family?"

"My family went to work, and I just wanted to go in and buy something."

When the woman heard this, she looked at the remittance voucher in his hand, thought for a while and nodded: "That's fine, you come in with me."

Anyway, just take him in.

Not to buy him something.

"Hey, okay, thank you sister."

Yang Xiaole was happy for a while.

Then several people walked into the mall.

When I came to the door, a man in a suit was checking there.

The woman handed him a certificate, and the other party glanced at it and stretched out with one hand: "Please..."

He returned the certificate to her.

The woman took the documents and led him in.

After entering, the woman looked at Yang Xiaole and said with a smile: "Okay, no one will care when you go out, you can see for yourself! I'll go first!"

"Okay, thank you sister, by the way, what's your name, sister?"

"Hehe, you're welcome, it's just a small favor. Let's go!"

After talking, I went to the shopping mall with a smile.

Did not say the name.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole didn't force herself, and took care of the store on her own.

The decoration inside is high-end, basically ceramic tiles are used, the floor is paved with white marble, and the counters inside are basically made of glass and marble.

Everyone inside is wearing suits.

It looks like he works in a bank.

I didn't care about it, just wandered back and forth inside.

There are four floors in total, and the things here are rare things in the shopping malls outside.

What watches and bicycles, as long as you have enough remittance coupons, you can buy them without a ticket.

As for the meat, oil, sugar, and cloth tickets that come with the Overseas Chinese Remittance Coupon, these things can be bought at the grocery store, so there is no need to go here to buy them.

Except for these four, all others do not need tickets.

Overseas Chinese remittance coupons are equivalent to tickets.

Imported food, imported musical instruments, and watches can be said to have everything that one expects to find.

Gold, silver and jewelry that are not allowed to be traded in the market can be bought here as much as you want, and no one cares about it.

Not just groceries.

There are also various handicrafts.

High-grade calligraphy and painting, blue and white porcelain, pastel, after all, Yang Xiaole learned a little bit in later generations.

Looking at these things, his mouth watered.

A lot of high-quality goods, even the best. .
These things are not ordinary dishes, they are all exquisite standing pieces.

Some were fired after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

But it doesn't mean that the ones fired after the founding of the People's Republic of China are not precious. There are many orphans, the firing process is extremely difficult, and they are more valuable than some antiques.

Among these things, paintings and calligraphy are the most expensive, ranging from tens of dollars to thousands of dollars.

Porcelain is much cheaper, and the most expensive ones are only tens of dollars.

That's the kind of super big talent that can exceed a hundred.

Glance at the engraving here.

A whole piece of ivory carving worth more than 300 yuan, not to mention the future, even now the price of foreign ivory is not low.

Unfortunately, can not afford.

Yang Xiaole looked around and came to his target area.

Looking at the bracelet with a price tag of 1300 yuan behind the counter, I secretly sighed that there are really many rich people at this time.

He didn't know the species of this thing, but he knew it was emerald.

He doesn't know the quality of fineness, but it is really beautiful.

The translucent green is really a bit like the emperor green mentioned on TV.

Looking around, he pointed to a silver necklace and said, "Can you please show me this?"

More than 8 yuan, mainly because this gemstone is big!
A light green gemstone, I don't know what material it is.

The waitress glanced at him and asked, "Where is your adult?"

The other party is very young, about 24 or [-] years old.

Yang Xiaole directly put 10 yuan on the table: "I'll do the shopping myself, don't ask adults to come over. Can't you watch it?"

Upon seeing this, the waitress didn't say anything more.

Carefully took it out.

Yang Xiaole took it and put it in his hand, and touched it.

no response.

The necklace is made of silver, very thin, and the workmanship is also beautiful, but the weight is the same, about the same weight as 2 silver dollars, which also includes coin-sized gemstones.

At first glance, it imitates foreign styles.

Yang Xiaole felt strange for a while, what kind of thing reacted?

Then he raised his head and asked, "Sister, what is this made of? Jade?"

"No, it's turquoise!"

Yang Xiaole said lightly, and passed the things over: "Thank you, I'll look at the others."

The other party took the things patiently.

Yang Xiaole picked a few more and looked at them.

Some problems were finally determined, that is, ordinary jade is useless.

Only colored stones like emeralds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, aquamarines, tanzanites, tourmalines are useful.

By this time the waiter was getting a little impatient.

Because he keeps taking it, but he just doesn’t buy it.

But when it comes to international relations, there is no way to get angry, so I can only endure it like this.

Yang Xiaole felt a little embarrassed.

"Sister, let me look at other things, okay. I'll come back and buy them later."

The waitress nodded slightly and ignored him.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole came to the side, especially the carved ornaments, and watched there.

There are ordinary jade Buddha statues.

There are big and small.

And here it is placed on the table, with a red blanket laid on it, and the things are placed on it.

It gives people a feeling of stalls.

It looks like a bunch of things randomly placed at the entrance of an antique shop.

Yang Xiaole looked around.

"what!"

He just touched something with his hand, which made him gasp slightly.
