Chapter 5 Originally Here(1/2)
The next thing is to wait.
Everyone has basically eliminated the conflict between ourselves and the enemy. The two middle-aged men have also changed from strangers to uncles. One is called Uncle Zhang and the other is called Uncle Wang. They are both staff of the Public Security Bureau. At this time, the Public Security Bureau Guoan is not divided into separate branches, and there are many overlapping job functions.
However, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Since there is not much suspicion that Shen Guanglin is an enemy agent, there is no need to focus on his detention and he is directly arranged to live in the staff dormitory.
After all, as the saying goes, treat your friends as warmly as spring, and treat your enemies as ruthlessly as the autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves.
Now, Shen Guanglin really feels the enthusiasm and warmth of this era.
The single dormitory of the Public Security Bureau is a row of bungalows, which looks relatively simple from the outside.
The outside is the same, but the inside is more rustic.
However, if in future generations, it would be a great wealth to have such a dormitory in the capital city where land is extremely valuable.
Uncle Zhang took Shen Guanglin to the logistics office to get bedding and daily necessities, and then went to the dormitory.
"This is the young man from our bureau - Comrade Liu Hao, Xiao Shen, please share a room with Xiao Liu for the time being."
Why are there so many people named Liu? Fortunately, this little Liu is not the rough little Liu.
"Xiao Liu, this is Comrade Shen Guanglin, Xiao Shen, our college student who has just returned from studying abroad. He will stay with you for a while. Don't celebrate the New Year. If you go out, you need to spend money and food stamps. You will take care of the expenses first."
"Okay, Section Chief Zhang." Comrade Liu, named Liu Hao, agreed wholeheartedly.
Shen Guanglin was settled in this way.
Not bad, the bureau is in charge of food and housing, otherwise he would really starve to death.
Thanks to the young lady for finding him a place to stay.
Shen Guanglin's body had been searched several times, and his realizable property was only a watch and an English book.
The book is not valuable, but the watch is from Omega and is set with diamonds.
Of course, no one thinks this watch is very precious.
Nowadays, Shanghai brand watches only cost more than 40 yuan, and imported watches, even if they are more expensive, only cost more than 100 or 200 yuan at most.
Shen Guanglin felt very lucky. He was lucky that he had nothing that could show the characteristics of his time, except for the English textbook that they couldn't understand.
Shen Guanglin decided to go back and destroy it, at least not to let it see the light of day again.
Although the conditions of the dormitory are simple, Shen Guanglin was very satisfied when he heard that he could get free food and accommodation.
Too many things happened on this day, and he also needed to find a place to collect his thoughts and plan for the future.
Before the bed was neatly made, Uncle Zhang came to find it again. He asked Shen Guanglin to have dinner with him.
As expected, he was in charge of food and housing.
Dinner was eaten together by a few "acquaintances" in the workplace canteen. A bottle of Erguotou can blur the boundary between the familiar and the unfamiliar and solve all problems.
The beautiful Xiao Li and the rough Xiao Liu never showed up. They handed over their errands and went home. Shen Guanglin did not see them this time.
On the contrary, the escorts and interrogators were all there, and everyone's cold faces had warm hearts.
The people who stayed at the work unit to eat were all a group of old men. Except for some single young people, they were a group of middle-aged and old men.
Materials are particularly scarce in this era, and meals in the workplace are free of charge and do not require tickets. Therefore, many people are willing to work overtime and then stay in the workplace to have a simple meal. After all, their families are not rich either, so every bite they can save is worth it.
The meals in the unit are not very rich, but the taste is good. At least Shen Guanglin is satisfied with it.
Three steamed buns with mixed noodles and a bowl of cabbage and tofu vermicelli per person, light, oily and healthy.
Moreover, they still implement the "shared meal system", where each person has a vegetable bowl and eats the vegetables with the steamed bun in his hand.
Shen Guanglin, who is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, said that the taste of this meal is really good. Life in the 1980s was good, with less oil and water, low purine, and no gout.
If you masturbate with beer and seafood, your uric acid will never be low.
After dinner, there are no other arrangements. Go back to the dormitory and rest early.
A slightly drunk Shen Guanglin followed Liu Hao back to the dormitory and continued to pack his few personal belongings.
The conditions in the dormitory are also very simple. There are only two canopy beds, a wardrobe, and a desk. These belong to Liu Hao.
Shen Guanglin's assets were even more pitiful. Apart from the newly issued bedding, a towel and a washbasin, he had no other belongings.
For example, toothbrushes, toothpaste, facial cleanser, men's facial masks, cologne, razors, Jesse Bond, Viagra... none of these are available.
Xiao Liu's personal belongings are not rich either. His extra possessions compared to Shen Guanglin's seem to be a hot water kettle with a carved iron shell. It's very traditional.
But the good thing is that it's not cold in the room.
After all, it's a work dormitory, and the heating is turned on so much that I can't even wear a down jacket.
Shen Guanglin, who had taken off his down jacket, was wearing a wool sweater on his upper body. Xiao Liu drooled looking at the big goose down jacket:
"Brother Shen, your clothes are so fashionable. The sweater you are wearing is also very nice. It must be knitted by machine. It is more beautiful than those sweaters in state-owned shopping malls. And this cotton-padded jacket of yours is light and warm. ,It’s so shameless…”
"No matter how beautiful it is, it's just a piece of clothing. In the future, these will be mass merchandise. Hand-knitted sweaters are precious, especially sweaters knitted by girls with love." Who in the future generation of girls will know how to knit sweaters? On the contrary, some sissies will The weaving is better.
Xiao Liu completely disagreed with his point of view, but did not seriously refute it. Instead, he continued to direct his topic to the down jacket:
"If I could have an outfit like yours, I would definitely have found a partner long ago."
This little Liu has so much self-confidence that the pimples and pimples on his face are starting to show up.
"Brother Hao, finding a partner has nothing to do with your wardrobe. Either you have the ability to make money or you have super powers. It's easy to get a down jacket. I can exchange it with you. Let's use this down jacket of mine to exchange for yours. Military coat, you don’t know, but this coat of yours is actually quite amazing, it’s the same style as Andy Lau’s, and after wearing it, you won’t feel the cold icy rain patting you randomly.”
Now Andy is still a barber, and he has not yet been admitted to the wireless artist class, but Xiao Liu's focus is not here. He does not care who Andy Lau is, but continues to focus on that big goose down jacket.
"This is not good, I can't do this kind of thing. Your cotton-padded jacket is so beautiful, it must be very expensive. My military coat was issued to me by my father when he was a soldier. It is not worthy of it at all. Otherwise, I You'd better buy it with money, I'm rich! I'm willing to pay you five yuan, oh, no, ten yuan plus this military coat in exchange for it."
Xiao Liu seems to really love that down jacket.
"Oh, brother Hao, you have a huge sum of ten yuan. Come on, tell me how much salary you have per month now and how much wife money you have saved. I am very touched by this. Interested, if you have money, why don't you worry about not getting a wife?"
This is the best way to understand this era. Starting from the economic income and living conditions, Shen Guanglin can completely evade that he is a returnee from overseas and does not understand these things if he really encounters a place where he makes a fool of himself.
"This is my fourth year of working, and my monthly salary now is 23.5 yuan. Fortunately, my family's expenses are not too much, so the total money I have saved is more than 326 yuan." Woolen cloth."
When it comes to savings, Xiao Liu is very proud. Many people in the bureau who have worked for more than ten years do not have as much savings as him.
In this era, more than 300 yuan is really a huge sum of money. If you have an industrial stamp, you can buy a bicycle and still have some left over. Owning a bicycle now is more popular than owning a BMW in later generations.
Although Shen Guanglin didn't understand the value of 300 yuan and its purchasing power, he still gave him the appropriate encouragement and gave a thumbs up without hesitation:
"Awesome, awesome! Brother Hao, you can have two wives, one to sleep with and the other to look after the house."
"Brother Shen, you know how to joke. It was my grandfather's generation to have two wives. After liberation, my second grandmother took my aunt and remarried."
...
That’s fine, I’ll go!
"You brat, have you really thought about marrying two?"
"No, no, just marry one. My mother said that if I can't find a wife in the city this year, I will go to the countryside to find a matchmaker. Country girls are good at raising chickens..."
"What the hell, what do you call excrement?"
"Do you know squatting pits? Dry latrines are available in every rural household, as well as cattle and sheep pens. These are good fertilizers..."
"Stop! What you said is offensive. I don't want to know anymore."
...
The two chatted for a long time, but the deal of exchanging down jackets for military coats could not be concluded.
It's not that Shen Guanglin doesn't want to change, it's mainly that Xiao Liu's clothes are too masculine. They must have never been washed. The fur collar is polished, and the stains on it are shiny. They must be the oil rubbed on his neck. .
It's really hard to find a girl wearing this outfit.
Seeing that it was getting late, Shen Guanglin excused himself as tired and said he was getting ready to sleep.
There is no way to take a shower. Now there is no private shower at all, only a large bathhouse.
Moreover, people don't open their doors in the dark at night, so you can only go there during the day when you have the opportunity.
Still want to take a shower every day?
I'm afraid this is not the rich young man of a capitalist.
However, when living in a staff dormitory, there is still no shortage of hot water.
Following Xiao Liu's instructions, Shen Guanglin got some hot water from the radiator, washed his feet and face, and then got into bed and lay down.
Radiator heating has this advantage. You can produce hot water at any time. Although the water quality may not be good, as long as you don't use it for drinking, everyone doesn't mind.
The world is finally quiet.
This day was truly wonderful, and the things that happened were simply dizzying.
Shen Guanglin lay on the bed, recalling the scenes that happened, as if he was acting in a movie.
Everything is caused by the "treasure pot", and the "Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches" and the "Eight and Eight Trigrams" are too deceptive!
Without saying a single hello, you tricked me right here!
Alas, from now on, old Shen will lose a good son who is well-behaved and sensible, and Jinling will lose a good Neptune who can save the girl. When a new era comes, Shen Guanglin sighed with a little excitement.
Is Brother Lin the future richest man in the world?
