As for?

The director of the machinery factory?

"There are three factory managers in the machinery factory."

"Zhao..."

If he doesn't reveal his identity, I won't bring him home.

Old Master Jiang actually knew Deputy Director Zhao.

"Okay, come with the old man."

The two followed Old Man Jiang to the gate of a courtyard.

Also entered the Jiang family.

"Great Grandpa, Great Grandpa, you're back."

Zhao Yunshu and Huo Shaobei saw two children of a few years old, a boy and a girl, rushing up, but they remained vigilant when they saw them.

"Grandpa, who are they?"

Mr. Jiang introduced them, "This is my brother and sister."

Zhao Yunshu: Am I younger again?

That's not okay.

"Hello, brother. Hello, sister."

When they went out on a date, they didn't bring any candy with them, and now when they meet a child, they don't have any candy to give.

But Zhao Yunshu is rich.

"This is the red envelope I give you, since we're meeting for the first time."

Zhao Yunshu took out two one-dollar bills and handed them to them.

"Great grandfather..."

"Just accept what I give you. You are a wealthy sister."

This time we went to the main room.

However, there were several portraits hanging on the walls of the main hall, which made Zhao Yunshu stunned.

The two men in military uniforms look young and even somewhat similar, but they are not the same person.

I'm afraid they are father and son.

In other words, both the old man's son and grandson died, and they sacrificed their lives for their country.

There are also photos of several other soldiers.

You can tell at first glance that the family is full of heroes.

Now, there are only three of them, the great-grandparents and grandchildren, left in this family.

No wonder the old man is so thin.

"That's my sons and grandchildren, drinking water."

Huo Shaobei spoke up, "They sacrificed their lives for the country. The country will provide pensions and support to the families of the soldiers."

It is impossible for this old man and two young children to live like this with this amount of money?

That means the money was taken away by someone.

It didn't reach them.

Zhao Yunshu guessed it.

"I'm afraid someone has taken the money away."

The child’s mother is not here. I’m afraid she left with the pension.

This old man must have gone through a lot, losing his son, his wife, and his grandson. If it weren't for his great-grandchildren, he would have collapsed long ago.

"Grandpa, please bring out the good stuff so we can open our eyes. I can go and get ready."

"Is there any gold? My grandma likes it."

Old Master Jiang glanced at the girl. If it were anyone else, they would feel extremely guilty, or even stand up for the injustice and pity them.

But this girl didn't have any of that. She was very calm and directly stated her purpose.

"Have."

I originally wanted to pass these things down, but for the sake of my children, I had to exchange them for other things.

When his granddaughter-in-law wanted to leave, he did not stop her. She was still young and could not continue to suffer in their Jiang family.

"Look at it."

Zhao Yunshu looked at the things on the table and actually started to pick and choose.

"How much do you want in exchange for these gold rings and this gold pendant? Give me the real price, don't ask for an exorbitant price. Although banks can exchange gold now, it's also risky."

This little girl showed her shrewdness as soon as she opened her mouth.

Their family was being targeted. If their children had not sacrificed their lives for the country, their home would have been raided by the Red Guards long ago.

"It's so hot, if you send them all here, they'll all stink."

Still worried about this?

"I want this ring first. Please keep the other things for me. I will come back to exchange them after the autumn harvest."

"Ten pounds of meat."

Zhao Yunshu glanced at Old Man Jiang and said, "Old Man, you don't dare to ask for a high price?"

"I'm afraid you won't buy it."

Ten kilograms of meat is enough for the grandparents and grandchildren to eat for several months.

"It's not a good day to get bloody. I'll bring it to you tomorrow."

Why is it not appropriate to get bloody today?

"Xiaobei, let's go."

At this time, gold has a price, but jade has a low price.

Jade is something that can be exchanged at the bank, but it is not as valuable as gold.

"Great grandfather..."

After Grandpa Jiang put away his things, he asked his eldest great-grandson to take care of his great-granddaughter while he went to the grain station to buy food.

They were in the city and had food allowances, but the two children were still young and could only eat half full.

But none of them works, and the family needs to buy firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, and clothes, which requires money and tickets.

"Nini, why don't you give me the gold ring?"

Ouch, what do you think it was because of?

It turned out to be because of this.

"I think my Xiaobei's jade belt is more suitable for your temperament. Gold is a bit tacky for you."

Huo Shaobei: Why shouldn’t I believe it?

But the quality of this jade pendant is indeed good.

Huo Shaobei also knows something about it.

"Your surprise." I haven't received it yet.

You have a really good memory.

"Isn't this a surprise?"

Huo Shaobei: Are you sure this is a surprise?

"No, no."

"It's still early, let's go to the movies."

The last time they came to the city, it wasn't just the two of them, there was also a light bulb. This time there was no light bulb.

However, Zhao Yunshu still prepared the three-piece set for watching movies.

Soda, melon seeds, and popcorn.

This really treats her as a child.

After leaving the cinema, I went shopping in the department store.

"I have money but no tickets." Zhao Yunshu sighed, although he brought a lot of tickets from home this time.

And before she went out today, her uncle gave her a lot of tickets.

"My grandfather has quite a few tickets. After he receives the things, I will send a telegram to ask him to mail some tickets over."

Zhao Yunshu glanced at Huo Shaobei and said: You are really a good grandson.

It is really a blessing for your grandfather to have a grandson like you.

"Your grandfather doesn't need it?"

"Grandpa and grandma are both retired leaders. They have a lot of tickets. If they are not mailed to me, my other sisters-in-law will still miss them. It is better to mail them to me."

What you said makes sense.

"Grandpa and grandma must be short of local specialties since they live in the city. We can exchange some of their tickets for those they don't need."

"Sure, my grandparents really like some of our mountain specialties."

Mr. Huo, who was far away in Beijing, sneezed several times.

"That kid must be talking about me."

The old man doesn't know yet that his grandson is eyeing his ticket.

"Xiaobei, do your parents have endless tickets?"

Huo Shaobei looked at Zhao Yunshu in a daze. Are you still thinking about the tickets in my parents' hands?

"If not, forget it."

Yes, but he was too embarrassed to speak up.

"After the autumn harvest, we will bring some local specialties back to visit our grandparents."

Winter is coming, and we can’t stay at home all the time.

It's nice to go shopping in Beijing.

"Okay."

I’m afraid grandpa and grandma also want to meet Nini.

"It's not early anymore, let's go eat."

Otherwise, the state-owned restaurant will be crowded soon.

"go to eat."

Huo Shaobei is still thinking about that surprise?

Where's the surprise?

Have a meal?

Although there were only two of us, they ordered three dishes.

As soon as I sat down, I heard a sound coming from the next table.
