Chapter 70: The Life of a Senior Cadre
Today, Ben Thanh has a nationally renowned tourist area. Fastest updates
Its nature is basically equivalent to the "Eastern Suburbs Alley" in Beijing, the "Five Great Avenues" in Tianjin, the "Bund" in Shanghai, or the "Eight Passes" in Qingdao.
That is the villa area at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, which is composed of "Qiqi Street", "Jinan Street", "Wanghai Street" and "Shanlin Street".
This villa area is close to the Ben Cheng City Government, Ben Thanh Railway Station, Ben Thanh Port and the largest commercial street "Lao Jinmen Street", which is an absolute prime location.
Especially because of the beautiful scenery, there are hundreds of garden houses in Japanese architectural style, which is called "Nanshan Tourist Style Street".
Therefore, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was very similar to the situation of the "upper class" living here during the Japanese occupation, and it also became a living area for high-ranking cadres.
Over the years, no one in Bencheng knows that the people who can occupy a small building in these streets are all dignitaries and dignitaries in Bincheng, so in the mouth of the people, this place is also called the "aristocratic area".
And the house that Yang Weifan took Hong Yanwu and them to see was a two-story small western-style building facing the street with a courtyard gate on the east side of "Wanghai Street".
Parking the car at the gate, Yang Weifan gave a few people a general introduction to the nearby situation.
"Most of the houses in these streets were built during the period of Japanese rule, and in the past, they were all the residences of high-ranking officials of the "Kanto Prefecture Office" in Japan. The most famous is the castle-like three-story building across the street, which is commonly known as the "Stone Fort" because of its all-limestone façade. That's the official residence of the notorious and sinful Daisaku Kawamoto......"
"What? Who is Daisaku Kawamoto? You haven't heard of it? This grandson is the head of the Japanese secret service in Bincheng, and it is said that he single-handedly planned the 'Huanggutun Incident' that shocked China and the rest of the world, and blew up and killed the 'bearded handsome' Zhang Zuolin......"
"Ask our family about this house? It should be smaller, as if it was the residence of a Japanese soldier at the beginning, and later during the Sino-Soviet honeymoon period, there was also a Soviet expert. In fact, this is not the place where our family lived at the beginning, I heard my mother say that my father seemed to live in Zhang Zongchang's villa when he was an official in Bincheng, and then it was taken back in the 'movement', and now this is still provided by the army when my father came back to serve after his comeback, and it is smaller than the original one......"
Yang Weifan's words undoubtedly revealed a lot of content, and Hong Yanwu couldn't help but glance at each other. No one spoke, they all suppressed the shock in their hearts, and silently followed Yang Weifan out of the jeep, watching him dig out his pocket to find the key.
But I do have to say that the condition of this villa is really good, and it is just right to store sea cucumbers. The storage space is for sure, and the privacy is good.
From the outside, the whole building is not only protected by heavy walls and iron gates, but also a few towering maple trees in the courtyard also play a visual obstruction, blocking several main windows, making it difficult for people to see the scene inside the house.
When Yang Weifan opened the padlock of the gate, everyone entered the courtyard and realized that the structure and quality of the house were far better than what he had guessed outside the wall.
The walls of this villa are all made of beige rock, the roof is covered with brown roof tiles, the purple wide and heavy door is open, the dazzling and extra-long brass doorknob is shining, and there is a lamped porch supported by tall stone pillars in front of the door.
The only thing that is a slight regret is that the courtyard of the house is not large, and the basement exit reserved for the boiler takes up a lot of space. But the rest of the parts are also staggered, and they have a different atmosphere. Under the shade of the trees, there are rockery fish ponds, small bridges and flowing water, and the courtyard walls are covered with white roses.
Overall, the house has a chic appearance and an elegant courtyard, which makes people feel more deeply about the identity of the owner at a glance, even in this villa area, it should be top-notch.
At this moment, the "General" and Chen Liquan finally couldn't help but marvel.
One said, "Yang Zi, this little western-style building is not for ordinary people! Your father's level is too high, right? What kind of official is it?"
Another said, "In a few days, all these maple trees in the yard will change color." In my opinion, you are almost in time for the 'Shuangqing Villa' in Xiangshan. ”
Yang Weifan was self-aware, and hurriedly rattled his head.
"I said, you two, don't boast about people like that. 'Shuangqing Villa', that's where the great leader stays, and you think too highly of my father. How can he compare with the great leader, how many levels is he left...... To tell you the truth, my dad ...... He...... It's just an ordinary person. Like the broad masses of the people, they smoke, drink, frustrate, and scold people......"
Isn't that nonsense!
Seeing that Yang Weifan's mouth was very tight, it took a long time for him to say a few words. Chen Liquan and the "general" understood that people didn't like to talk about the situation at home, but they didn't get to the bottom of it and continued to ask.
After all, Hong Yanwu is well-informed, and based on what he has seen, he can already completely determine some of the circumstances behind it.
I couldn't help but think: Damn, although I know that this kid's father is not small, I didn't expect it to be so big. Looking at the posture, this kid's father is at least a cadre at the level of a large military region. It's really evil, and I can't hide if I want to in this life. The surname Yang is a big official...... Who could that be? Alas, we still don't know much about naval forces......
In this way, several people with different feelings soon followed Yang Weifan into the house again.
When they came in, they realized that it was really amazingly spacious inside!
Take the living room, for example, with its narrow strips of oak floors, decorative embossing patterns in the corners, a bone-gray marble fireplace under snow-white walls, a crystal-clear chandelier and a large ceiling fan made of wooden panels.
In addition, there are seven or eight leather sofas, arranged around the coffee table to form a conference room. It's almost the same as the furnishings of the old social capitalists in the movie.
This can't help but arouse the curiosity of the "general" and Chen Liquan like "Grandma Liu enters the Grand View Garden", and they look at each other in the big rooms.
Downstairs there is a study, dining room, kitchen, toilet, and two bedrooms. As for the upstairs, although there are not as many rooms as downstairs, they appear brighter.
The best part is that you can see the beautiful scenery of Nanshan Park from here, and you can look down on the balcony from a high point of view.
Of course, the layout of all the rooms is also unimaginable to ordinary people.
There is a telephone in the study, a refrigerator in the dining room, an electric oven in the kitchen, a shower head and a flush toilet in the toilet, and a copper cast steel wire bed with spring cushions in the bedroom.
The most amazing thing is that they went around in a circle, and finally next to the radio above the wine cabinet in the living room, they found a strange thing like a pine box, with an opaque gray glass inlaid on the front, and no one knew what it was doing after looking at it for a long time.
They were confused, but fortunately, Hong Yanwu gave the answer and told them that it was a "TV set". And also explained that when you open it, you can see the picture and hear the sound, just like watching a small movie.
This naturally made Chen Liquan and the "general" excited, but they didn't expect Yang Weifan to show a strange look, so this inevitably made the two of them have a certain skepticism.
But in fact, Yang Weifan was actually just surprised that Hong Yanwu knew this thing. He said that this "television set" was imported from the Soviet Union, and the brand name was "Ruby", and there were only 100 television sets in the whole city, and ordinary cadres had never heard of it. He asked Hong Yanwu where he had seen it?
But Hong Yanwu just smiled flatly, saying that if Yang Weifan recruited his father's details, he would tell him the answer.
In this way, Yang Weifan could only close his mouth and smile without saying anything.
Both of them played dumb riddles, and they spoke with their heads hidden. But they are not wrong about one thing, the "TV" thing is amazing!
As Hong Yanwu plugged in the power supply with his hands, and as soon as he toggled the switch control next to him, the gray glass turned into a bright color. Then, Hong Yanwu rotated the jump control again, and there was really a scene of a small figure shaking in the glass.
If you look closely, you can see that the guy inside is walking along the railroad with a signal light. Then, this villain came out with the voice of Li Yuhe, who is familiar to everyone today.
In the eyes of Chen Liquan and the "general", this is indeed curious.
The image on the screen is exactly the same as "Red Lantern" in the movie theater, except that there is no color and the image is much smaller.
And it's not very clear, even the two lumps of pimple meat on Li Yuhe's face are ambiguous, but Li Tiemei's fat face is big enough, and she can still see a little thin appearance.
But no matter what, it's enough to break the cow! Do you think, who can show movies every day these days? It's really extravagant!
So Chen Liquan and the "general" still fully enjoyed the joy of surprise, their eyes were almost straight, and the two black faces were getting closer and closer to the TV.
Time passed slowly, and the model drama gradually proceeded to the last moment, but I didn't expect that when the old devil was about to poison Grandma Li, an accident happened.
I saw that as the old devil screamed, his hands covered the entire screen like iron forks.
With the sound of "bang", Chen Liquan and the "general" were so shocked that they hit their heads on the TV.
Although the two have watched "Red Lantern" countless times in the cinema, they are no strangers to this scene. But the black-and-white TV set was adjusted too strongly due to the contrast, and the old devil's face was all the miserable white of people.
What's even more infuriating is that there are some snowflakes floating on the screen at the same time.
The two of them were too focused again, and their eyes were actually about to fall out of their sockets a long time ago, and the pain was unbearable.
So as soon as this rather impactful shot appeared, the snow-blue light on the screen made them feel dizzy, and the bodies of the two of them floated up in an instant, and they involuntarily plunged into the screen.
Needless to say, Hong Yanwu and Yang Weifan couldn't help but laugh out loud when they saw their embarrassment. (To be continued.)
