From the Siheyuan, I started to run around in the world
Chapter 9 The Age of Sincerity
While Zhang Dongliang was studying at home, He Yushui came to eat twice and rushed to help wash clothes once. She didn't want to wash the clothes, but she took advantage of Zhang Dongliang's carelessness and took the basin away.
Zhang Dongliang swore in the name of the uncle that there was absolutely no underwear inside. If there was underwear, the uncle would be exterminated.
Every time He Yushui came here, he was reluctant to leave. Why? It's warm here. Coal supply is rationed, and other families are reluctant to burn it. But Zhang Dongliang is not like that, there is plenty in his small world.
He Yushui had a separate room of her own, which was not adjacent to the room where Sha lived, but was separated by a family's room.
He Yushui was in a separate room next to the old man's.
Of course, there would be no stove in He Yushui's room in winter, as the winter in this city is very cold.
Zhang Dongliang had a headache. With He Yushui always here, everything was inconvenient.
In order to help you, I helped myself become your husband, which is not good. Besides, Zhang Dongliang has just made up his mind to become the prime minister, how can he be tripped by a thin little tree like you.
Zhang Dongliang was also envious.
Look at the time travelers in online novels. They act cool and get slapped in the face right away, and are surrounded by beautiful women. If they want to be a prime minister, they can be one. If they want to have a harem, they can have one. They live a very prosperous life.
He has the important task of saving time and space, but he still has to remain low-key and honest. The contrast is huge.
Now that we are here, we should make the best of it. Let's first integrate into the times.
Tomorrow is the Little New Year, and we should consider how to sort out some relationships and make some visits, as this is a society based on personal connections.
Relationships are all about relationships. No matter how good the relationship is, if there is no contact and communication for a long time, it will become estranged. Be close, be close, only when you are close can you be close.
The first one is Deputy Director Wang of the Street Office.
Yes, she is still deputy director now, and was promoted to director in 62. Deputy Director Wang and Zhang Dongliang's mother are best friends, good sisters who have come all the way from the revolutionary holy land.
Although they were both very busy and saw each other seldom, they had a deep personal relationship because they had gone through the war years together.
The second one is the deputy director of the police station, Hu Xiaopeng. His father and Zhang Dongliang's father both had work experience in a cave arsenal in Taihang Mountain. Hu Xiaopeng often came to their home, and the two families had a good relationship.
The third one is Liu Bin, deputy chief of the security department of the steel mill. His father and Zhang Dongliang's father both had work experience in a cave arsenal in Taihang Mountain, and they usually get along well.
Most of the other contacts in the military industry are in confidential departments and it is inconvenient to contact them, so I will not mention them for now.
There are two problems to be solved here: one is that Zhang Dongliang has just passed away, so he cannot pay New Year's greetings, and at most he can go out for a walk before the New Year.
Secondly, Zhang Dongliang had just graduated from high school, so what gift was appropriate? It couldn't be too far beyond the cognition of the times, so it was quite a headache.
When Zhang Dongliang of later generations knew that he was going to travel through time, he considered various situations that he would need to deal with.
He specifically found a wild boar farm and bought hundreds of them over the years, and some of them were made into bacon.
This makes it easier to explain the origin. After all, there are many people hunting in this day and age.
Zhang Dongliang thought about it carefully and decided to take wild boar meat as a gift and asked the mountain people he met while hunting to buy it.
Deputy Director Wang only needs a smoked wild boar leg and some fruit. For the other two, 3 jin of wild boar meat each will do.
The twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month is the small year.
Zhang Dongliang prepared to spend his first festival in the Siheyuan world alone. As a newly deceased person, it was inconvenient for him to celebrate the festival with others, for fear that others would think he was unlucky.
Before noon, Yu Xiaojie, a clerk from the street office, rushed over.
She told Zhang Dongliang that Deputy Director Wang asked Zhang Dongliang to go to her house for dinner in the evening.
Deputy Director Wang was busy, so he asked her to tell Zhang Dongliang not to forget it. Just a whisper, Yu Xiaojie was the niece of Deputy Director Wang's lover.
Zhang Dongliang was moved.
People of this era are still relatively superstitious, especially the older generation of revolutionaries who came out of the hail of bullets and bombs, who don't care about this.
Zhang Dongliang decided that the evening gift should include 20 eggs and a pound of brown sugar, and any more would be inappropriate.
After waiting until dark, Zhang Dongliang declined the invitation of the third uncle to visit his home to celebrate the festival and prepared to go out.
The third uncle Yan Bugui returned to the house a little disappointed.
Zhang Dongliang secretly laughed in his heart. Going to your house for dinner? If I can eat 1/10 of your meat, I'd be lucky.
Deputy Director Wang’s wife, Yu Xixiang, works in the DC District Power Supply Department. Deputy Director Wang lives in the DC District Power Supply Bureau’s staff quarters.
In recent years, the housing supply in government agencies has been relatively tight, while the situation in these industry sectors is better.
Deputy Director Wang's family did not accept the house provided by the DC District Government, and lived in the staff quarters of his wife's unit, which has complete water, electricity, heating, and good conditions.
Zhang Dongliang explained the situation to the security guard, registered, and came to the door of Deputy Director Wang's house.
I knocked on the door, and it was Yu Xiaojie who opened it.
"Oh, it's Dongliang." Yu Xixiang was sitting on the wooden sofa in the house drinking tea. When he saw Zhang Dongliang coming in with something, he quickly stood up.
Yu Xiaojie took the thing and put it aside.
"Dongliang, talk to your Uncle Yu for a while, he will be ready soon." Deputy Director Wang was cooking in the kitchen.
Deputy Director Wang’s eldest son Yu Hongjun and his wife Zhuang Yingping had just given birth to a child. The child was too young, so they also lived at home for easier care.
Hearing the voices, Yu Hongjun and his wife Zhuang Yingping came out from the inner room holding the child.
"Hello, Brother Jun, hello, sister-in-law. How old is your nephew?" Zhang Dongliang greeted them.
"More than three months." said Zhuang Yingping.
Zhang Dongliang did not prepare a gift for his nephew. Considering Zhang Dongliang's age and status, no one blamed him.
"You kid, just come here, why do you have to bring so many things?" Deputy Director Wang scolded. "Ah, where did you get the fruit from?"
"Hey, what a coincidence. I exchanged the pork leg with a hunter who came to the city a few days ago. The other things were bought by a classmate whose family is in business. They are for my nephew to supplement his nutrition, and the fruits are just to refresh his stomach during the New Year."
Deputy Director Wang felt that she had to ask Zhang Dongliang, such a young child, about the fact that he was given so many gifts. She felt sorry for the old sisters if the child went the wrong way.
"Okay. Don't treat everyone as an enemy. Examine them first. Let's eat." Yu Xixiang quickly interrupted Deputy Director Wang and started to make arrangements for dinner.
"My good sister is gone, and only the child is left. How can I not care about her?" Deputy Director Wang's eyes turned red as he spoke.
"Okay, okay. I know you care about us. Please sit down and have your meal." Yu Xixiang hurriedly comforted him.
Zhang Dongliang was even more moved. The feelings between people in this era are still very clean and pure.
Deputy Director Wang had just had a grandson, so it was not convenient for him to smoke at home, so Zhang Dongliang did not take out any cigarettes.
Yu Xixiang took out a bottle of Xifeng wine and poured three cups. Deputy Director Wang took another cup and poured himself one.
First, we raise our glasses together to wish our motherland prosperity and the great man good health. Then we will start the normal drinking process.
While drinking, we learned that Yu Xiaojie's parents went to the southwest to support a project and could not come back before the New Year, so Yu Xiaojie temporarily ate at Deputy Director Wang's house.
There were too many things to be kept secret in this era, so Zhang Dongliang didn't ask any more questions.
However, while drinking, Yu Xixiang kept looking at Yu Xiaojie and Zhang Dongliang, as if he was thinking about something.
"Uncle Yu, after the New Year, I want to change my home's electricity supply to a separate meter. Do you think it's convenient?"
"Oh, it's nothing. If you need anything, come find me. Or go to the street office and tell your Aunt Wang, or tell Xiaojie, and have them come back and tell me."
I really don’t want to share an electricity meter with people in the courtyard. It’s too inconvenient.
Zhang Dongliang was preparing to change the power supply line while renovating his house after the Chinese New Year. It would be much more convenient to use one electric meter.
During the meal, Deputy Director Wang told Zhang Dongliang that he had met Deputy Director Hu Xiaopeng of the police station today.
Deputy Director Wang also knew the relationship between Deputy Director Hu Xiaopeng and Zhang Dongliang's family, and he brought up Zhang Dongliang's family affairs.
I heard from Deputy Director Hu Xiaopeng that he was going to invite Zhang Dongliang to his home for dinner. It just so happened that Deputy Director Wang also had an appointment with Zhang Dongliang for dinner today, so he stopped this matter.
Tell Zhang Dongliang so he can understand.
After dinner, Zhang Dongliang was about to say goodbye and go home, but Deputy Director Wang asked him to wait for a moment.
Deputy Director Wang took out a brand new military coat and asked Zhang Dongliang to put it on, saying that he had just bought it for him a few days ago.
Afraid that Zhang Dongliang couldn't cook, he took out four or five pounds of frozen dumplings.
Before leaving, he stuffed a bunch of bills into Zhang Dongliang's pocket, including a bicycle ticket, the value of which far exceeded the value of the gifts Zhang Dongliang brought.
Zhang Dongliang's eyes were a little moist.
He secretly swore in his heart: I must never treat Deputy Director Wang as a personal relationship, but as a real aunt.
