Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Qin Dabao took out a Zhonghua cigarette and handed it to Qin Weide. Qin Weide took out a cigarette in surprise and sniffed it in front of his nose: "Not bad, kid. I thought you came from an ordinary family based on your clothes, but I was wrong."

He was not surprised yet, when he saw Zhu Jun stuffing two packs of white-skinned Zhonghua cigarettes into Qin Dabao, he was completely excited. These were special cigarettes for leaders at the vice-ministerial level and above. To have such cigarettes represented status.

He quickly said, "Dude, let's split it in half when we meet. Come on, one box each."

Qin Dabao held back his laughter and gave him a box.

Lao Qin didn't open it, but put it in his coat pocket and patted it gently. He lit the ordinary Zhonghua cigarette that Qin Dabao gave him, took a deep breath, and exhaled a puff of thick smoke.

"Good cigarettes are good cigarettes. I'm telling you two, where do you come from?"

Qin Dabao handed a cigarette to Zhu Jun. Zhu Jun shook his head. He was not very good at smoking. He smoked with Sun Qian and others yesterday purely out of childishness. He was afraid that others would look down on him if he didn't know how to smoke.

Qin Dabao lit a cigarette and said, "Master, I don't have any background. My parents are ordinary workers."

Old Qin was startled for a moment, then he breathed a sigh of relief and patted Qin Dabao on the shoulder. He looked at Zhu Jun. In the sunlight, he could clearly see the hairs on Zhu Jun's lips. He was clearly still a child.

Zhu Jun shrugged: "I stole it from my grandfather."

Lao Qin waved his hand: "Let's go, find a corner to stay. Standing here is like a guiding light. If there is any trouble, they will come to us later."

Just as he said, a couple dressed as farmers came running over with pale faces, saying that they lost their money. When asked where they lost it, they couldn't tell me. They just kept saying that it was sewn into their jackets, and now there was a hole in it, and the money was gone.

Qin Dabao asked how much money he owed, and the couple said three yuan.

When Lao Qin saw Zhu Jun wanted to give money to the couple, he quickly pulled him away. This silly disciple, it is true that police officers should have a sense of responsibility, but such kindness is not allowed.

This train station has tens of thousands of passengers every day, and a lot of people lose money. Can you pity a few of them?

Old Qin didn't bother with Qin Dabao and the others. He quickly took the couple who lost the money to the police station at the railway station.

When they came back, they saw a group of people surrounding Qin Dabao and his friend. They squeezed in and realized they were asking for directions.

Asking for directions is actually quite complicated. Even if you are an old Beijinger, it is impossible for you to know all the streets and locations.

Even if you know the way, these passengers are all from other places. When they arrive in Beijing, they don’t even know the directions of east, west, south and north. Are you sure they can understand when you tell them which bus to take and where to reverse?

After finally sending this group of people away, Lao Qin quickly dragged them to a corner and dozed off.

You should know that they are from the Public Security Department and they are here to keep an eye on criminals. Now that you have become a local police officer, what job can you do?

After being repeatedly ordered not to wear uniforms tomorrow, Lao Qin couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He felt sorry for himself, an old hand, how come he became so diligent after accepting these two apprentices?

They don't need to go back to the department when they are on duty. At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lao Qin asked Qin Dabao and others to go home. Just kidding, if they don't get off work, Lao Qin will be exhausted to death.

On this day, no matter where Qin Dabao and his companions hid, there were travelers who would find them, either because they had lost money or were looking for someone. These complicated matters were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the burning fire in the two young men's hearts.

Qin Dabao did not go home directly. He went to the department store because he would be moving to his new home the next day. He wanted to buy a radio, a bicycle, and many other things that might not be available in ordinary supply and marketing cooperatives. He had to go to the public-private joint-venture department store.

Qin Dabao could finally use the tickets in his space openly. All his tickets came from the Hu brothers. The two bags contained all the tickets.

He bought ten cartons of Zhonghua cigarettes, two boxes of Maotai liquor, a box of twelve bottles, five kilograms of White Rabbit candy, ten kilograms of cakes, two kilograms each of white sugar and brown sugar, and two sacks of all sorts.

He bought another Forever bicycle, as this brand is very durable. He didn't buy a radio, as Qin Dabao planned to buy it after he moved, otherwise it would be too conspicuous.

If he hadn't been wearing official clothes and buying so many things, the salesperson would have reported him to the police long ago.

It's getting late, so I can't go to the consignment store today. I've packed up my house, except for the furniture.

He loves carving and antiques the most in his life, but not for the purpose of buying or selling. After all, money is just a number to him now, and he just appreciates antique furniture.

Find a place where no one is around and put all your things into the space.

Passing by the Gulou Street Police Station, he turned in to get his bicycle license stamped. It happened to be Tan Yongjun on duty today. He was very surprised to see Qin Dabao wearing a police uniform.

After learning that Qin Dabao had passed the exam and became a public security officer, and was now working in the third section of the Public Security Department, he couldn't help but feel happy for him.

The case materials of Zhong Mubai were all compiled by Tan Yongjun, so he was very familiar with Qin Dabao and knew that he was a very capable and upright young man. Through this case, he also won a second-class individual merit. For this, he had to thank Qin Dabao.

It was easy to get things done with someone in the court. Within ten minutes, the bicycle's formalities were completed.

Tan Yongjun specially sent Qin Dabao out. He told Dabao that the Criminal Investigation Department of the Municipal Bureau had dug out twelve hidden enemy spies through Zhong Mubai.

Wenwen's grandmother and second uncle and aunt are no longer valuable. The verdict should be announced in the next two days.

Tan Yongjun told Qin Dabao that Lu Qianchuan and his wife, and Fan Er and Fan San must eat iron peanuts, but that Mrs. Lu's crime was not punishable by death and she should be sent to labor reform in the northwest.

Qin Dabao thought that at her age, she would not live for many years in the Northwest, so he let go of the worry.

After separating from Tan Yongjun, he rode his bicycle back to Nanluoguxiang. He finally enjoyed the attention of passers-by, which felt quite good.

At the entrance of the alley, the subdistrict office had already organized people to start building a blast furnace. When Qin Dabao left in the morning, the bricks for the blast furnace had not been brought in yet.

In just one day, it was built to a height of more than two meters. The blast furnace was built by technical workers sent by the steel rolling mill. The entire blast furnace is five meters high and is divided into the furnace bottom, hearth, belly, waist, body, throat, and top. Water cooling pipes and cooling walls must also be installed. It is very technical and any mistake will not work. It is easy for the temperature to be too high and cause the furnace to explode.

Director Wang was directing people to work when he saw Qin Dabao coming over wearing a police uniform and pushing a bicycle. He was also very surprised.

She pulled Qin Dabao aside and told him about Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong. She had already found a house for them and they would have to move out of Nanluoguxiang in two days.

When she got home, Cuicui was cooking. The little girl was very happy these two days. At her grandparents' house, she not only had enough food to eat, but also had meat to eat. The little girl felt extremely happy.

Cuicui saw Qin Dabao coming back and hurried over to him, taking the bag from him: "Brother, I'll get you some water to wash your face."

Qin Dabao rubbed the little girl's head and said with a smile: "How is it, Cuicui? Are you used to it? After we move the day after tomorrow, you will have a new room."

Cuicui hugged her brother's arm and said excitedly: "Brother, today I took Erbao and the others to see the new house in Courtyard 95. The new house is so big and beautiful."

Before she finished speaking, the three little ones who heard the sound ran out from the inner room. Qin Dabao quickly picked up Wenwen and Niuniu. The two little ones were now becoming more and more dependent on Qin Dabao. As long as Qin Dabao was at home, they basically would not follow anyone else.

Everyone stuffed a piece of candy in their mouth, and Cuicui also had one. The little girl was so happy that her eyes curved into crescents. Her brother was so nice.

Qin Dabao walked into the inner room with difficulty. He had no choice but to hold one in each hand and the other hanging on his leg.

When Lu Xiu'e and Qin Qingyou came back, Qin Dabao secretly told them about Wenwen's grandmother's second uncle.

Lu Xiu'e thought about it and decided not to tell Wenwen. The child had just gotten better in the past two days, so she didn't want to remind the child of his worries and make him feel uncomfortable.

Qin Qingyou and Qin Dabao also thought so.

During the meal, Qin Dabao said that Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong would move out in two days, and he would be able to move into his new home the day after tomorrow.

Mom and Dad were very happy, but also a little sad.

The reason why Lu Xiu'e and Qin Qingyou didn't go to No. 95 Courtyard to see the progress of the new house renovation these two days was because there were too many gossips.

During this period, the Qin family was allocated a new house, and Lu Xiu'e got a job again. There were too many people in the neighborhood gossiping and saying strange things.

The tongue can kill. No matter how argumentative Lu Xiu'e is, she can't argue with half the old ladies in the alley, right? So she and Qin Qingyou can only show up less and not respond. The more you try to explain this kind of gossip, the more confused you become. Instead of doing that, it's better to ignore it and let it cool down slowly.
