Chapter 11 Shopping(1/2)

Not long after he sat down in the living room, Shen Guanglin wanted to see what TV programs were available in this era, when the phone rang.

As expected, it was a wealthy family. At this time, there was a telephone, and it was an old-fashioned mechanical telephone with a dial.

"Lights and telephones, upstairs and downstairs."

This was once the fantasy of future life in the 1980s and 1990s, and Li Rong's family has realized it ahead of schedule.

People are really different.

Miss Li Rong picked up the phone casually. It was Uncle Zhang from the Public Security Bureau calling Shen Guanglin.

"Comrade Xiao Li, is Shen Guanglin at your house? I heard Liu Hao said that he followed you at noon?"

"Yes, Uncle Zhang, do you have something to do with him? He, he had lunch at my house today. After all, I, you know, it was a misunderstanding at the beginning, I..."

I was directly called by the boss and chased to my home, and the person he was looking for was a man. This kind of thing is a bit embarrassing no matter how you explain it.

"You don't need to explain. I understand that it's not a big problem for young people to communicate more. This is not a mistake. Let's just ask him to come back. If you have something important to talk to him, you can't explain it clearly on the phone."

Although he was obviously here to see Shen Guanglin, he didn't even let him answer the phone. The two of them completed the communication and decision.

Under Shen Guanglin's puzzled and reluctant eyes, Li Rong and he quickly returned to the unit.

Uncle Zhang was not the only one who met Shen Guanglin this time, there were several comrades accompanying him.

Everyone was sitting there, their expressions serious yet lively.

"Xiao Shen, these two are comrades from the ** Bureau. This one's surname is Yan, and this one's surname is Li. The question about your life experience has been resolved."

Judging from Uncle Zhang's tone, it seems that it shouldn't be a bad thing, because the corners of his eyes reveal joy, and you can tell that this is done by saying "Xiao Shen".

"Comrade Shen Guanglin, we have checked the information of your father, Comrade Shen Longxian. He was indeed our good comrade and comrade-in-arms. We are deeply saddened by his death..."

The words are long, the meaning is short, and the meaning is deep.

In short, the organization has given positive recognition to Shen Guanglin's identity.

And they also found photos of Shen Longxian when he was young: a handsome young man wearing round-rimmed glasses and a gentle manner.

He looks very similar to Shen Guanglin, but seems to be more handsome.

People of that era could be so handsome without beauty cameras. No wonder they were able to marry multiple wives.

After comparing the photos with the real person, several comrades became more convinced that Shen Guanglin was one of them.

"They are really a family. They are just carved from the same mold!" Everyone said they looked alike after seeing the photo.

In the days before DNA testing, resemblance already guaranteed the authenticity of blood relationships.

Shen Guanglin's identity was solved, and a big stone fell in everyone's heart.

The efficiency of the organization is sometimes really high.

In the days to come, we can only take one step at a time.

Shen Guanglin hasn't figured out what he wants to do yet, but it's good to be cleared of suspicion.

Uncle Zhang also conveyed the spirit of his superiors, and the next steps for Comrade Shen Guanglin will be discussed after the year. Whether to continue studying or working will also be discussed separately.

"However, the descendants of the martyrs will be properly resettled. This is our principle.

...

The superior approved 500 yuan as a temporary compensation and pension based on the standards for the families of martyrs during the self-defense counterattack..."

Shen Guanglin felt a little embarrassed when he heard that there was still such a huge sum of money to be received.

This treatment is too good!

Pretending to be an uncle is shameless enough, but defrauding the country's money is unbearable.

Shen Guanglin reluctantly accepted the money with tears in his eyes.

How many problems can be solved with 500 yuan?

"Actually, I don't love money. I have no interest in money. In my overseas account, I still have hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings that I haven't spent. In addition, I really didn't return to China to seek treatment for the families of martyrs. I wanted to I just came back to build the country..."

Shen Guanglin was moved by such lofty lines.

He also left himself a way out, thinking that if one day he actually came up with $100,000, he would have an explanation.

As for his future goals in life and the direction of his efforts, Shen Guanglin himself doesn’t know.

He doesn't even know how he came to this age, and he doesn't know what he can do in the future. Maybe this is God's arrangement, and God's arrangement is the greatest.

"Shen Guanglin is such a good comrade!"

Several uncles left with emotion.

1980 was the second year of reform and opening up, and it was an era that had not yet gotten rid of the planned economy.

In this era, apart from money, votes are also very important. The work unit is short of money, but there is no shortage of votes.

In fact, yesterday, Li Rong's mother Aunt Song had solved Shen Guanglin's urgent need. The money distributed by the organization today can only be regarded as the icing on the cake.

It’s just that this flower is so beautiful!

If you have money, you will naturally spend it.

Today is already the third day after traveling through time. Shen Guanglin deeply felt the inconvenience of living in this era, especially since he had not showered for several days.

Not only did I not take a shower, but I also didn't change my underwear. I felt a little wet and greasy somewhere.

If a person who loves to listen to the radio for a long time can make a basic judgment, he must have prostatitis.

When Shen Guanglin was in his first year of high school, he learned such strange knowledge from the radio: bifurcated peeing, yellow peeing, frequent urination, urgent urination, and incomplete urination...

Then he went to see the school doctor, but was kicked out by the female doctor who was not yet thirty years old.

Who says children can’t get prostatitis? You haven’t even checked.

...

A few days ago, I took the train from Jinling all the way to Beijing. I was tired from traveling all the way and didn't get a good rest. I was definitely going to produce a lot of oil on my body, even oilier than Wang Dongcheng. I really needed to take a shower.

Taking a bath is also simple. If you are too lazy to go to the bathhouse, just wipe it with white heating water and the effect will be obvious. The original milky white water will turn into a faint yellow.

While there was still time in the afternoon, and he had more money than Liu Hao, he had to go out and spend some time quickly.

When we came to the office building again, the young lady really hadn’t gotten off work yet.

"Sister, why don't you take a walk around the department store? Look at what you want to buy. Brother Lin, I'll give it to you."

Shen Guanglin has never been a stingy person when it comes to girls.

"Who cares? Yesterday you were a pauper supported by my family. Today you are the master."

"I don't have to turn over. I don't have high requirements for my position."

"Um?"

As expected, the young lady didn't understand the car Shen Guanglin was driving, and she actually went to pick up the car.

Although the young lady said she didn't want it, she was honest and actually took Shen Guanglin to the mall.

...

Where to go shopping in Beijing?

They went to the Beijing Department Store, later known as the "Wangfu Department Store". This was the first department store built after the founding of New China.

This building opened in 1955, with a construction area of ​​39,000 square meters and a business area of ​​18,000 square meters. Even in later generations, it was still a very large commercial complex.

Shen Guanglin was very interested in everything of this era, and Li Rong was not surprised when he saw him. As a turtle, it is normal for him to be ignorant.

In fact, Li Rong and her sister Li Li are also very interested in Shen Guanglin's life experience abroad, but they just don't have more time to understand it.

Maybe it was because of this that they were willing to communicate more with him.

Of course, Shen Guanglin looks handsome, speaks interestingly, and is knowledgeable, so the sisters naturally don't hate him.

After parking the motorcycle and getting the license plate, the young lady was ready to enter the mall.

Shen Guanglin is very interested in small license plates. This is a small plate made of bamboo. Two pieces are put together to form a pair. The same pattern or flower is engraved on them. When paired together, they can be seen completely. pattern.

"Miss, is this the legendary tiger talisman? Put the two pieces together. If they match, you can send troops."

"Send you a big-headed ghost."

Entering the mall, the strong 80s trend hits you.

Under the dim light, there are rows of wooden shelves, terrazzo floors, and tall sales counters, with iron railings welded in front of them to prevent customers queuing up to buy from bumping into the salesperson.

There were no supermarkets in China in this era. If you wanted to buy something, you could just tell the salesperson.

Don't expect to be picky. If you ask the waiter to serve you a few more times, she will definitely give you a face and give you a warm message: "Buy it if you like it or not!"

Shen Guanglin was really like Grandma Liu when she entered the Grand View Garden and felt strange in everything she saw.

Iron stoves, enamel washbasins, high-end cloth shoes with plastic soles, horse lanterns, kerosene lamps, gas lamps, electroplated tables and chairs, simple sofas, nylon jackets, it is indeed a department store with a wide variety of products.

What surprised Shen Guanglin the most was a piece of furniture. It was obviously an ordinary desk, but it was marked "Head heavy" on it.

"Miss, why is this desk called 'One Shen'?" Shen Guanglin decided not to be ashamed to ask.
