Chickens and dogs have been thieves since ancient times, although few people do these things in this era, but it is still not to the point where the door is not closed at night, especially now that the sun is setting, it is convenient to shoot.

Even if Qi Shufang was bold, she didn't deliberately lead people to a secluded place to solve it, she didn't want to cause trouble in Shanghai, so she simply got on the bus with a big bag, and when she saw that the person didn't follow, she was relieved. The cost of a section of the bus is one cent more expensive than the tram, and soon I arrived at the hotel where I stayed, and He Jianguo went out to inquire about the news and did not come back.

Qi Shufang sorted out the things, picked out the things she bought and packed them separately, the women's white shirt didn't have to choose, the leather shoes all had sizes, and she didn't have to pick them, and the tunics, jackets and towels and other things were picked for herself with few flaws and easy to solve.

Only then did she realize that women's clothes were also blouses and shirts, but the styles were much more fashionable than those in her hometown.

Although the color is as monotonous as ever, each garment has a special highlight, and the women's blouse has a feminine atmosphere, with a feminine neckline, placket, pockets and cuffs, unlike the hometown where the women's blouse is almost the same as the men's blouse.

The collar of an ordinary women's shirt has a pointed collar on both sides, which is decent, the same as the pointed collar of the blouse, but the few shirts she bought today are round necks, the pointed collar has been changed to a round one, the placket is pinched with fungus, and the cuffs are slightly closed, a bit like balloon sleeves, if it is short-sleeved, the balloon sleeves appear on the upper arm, it must be more beautiful.

She thought that the floral shirt was very tacky, so she bought a white shirt, and now she found that the floral shirt is small and fresh, a white background broken yellow flower, a yellow background broken red flower, light yellow, faint red, the color is elegant but not light, very good-looking.

If you think about it carefully, the women's blouses on the counter are more colorful and have more patterns, and the men's blouses are only blue and gray.

She was entrusted to buy five blue blouses, although these five blouses were better looking and more fashionable than the ones in their place, but after all, they were not as bright as other bright colors, and they were rare colors other than gray, black, blue, and white.

In fact, there is no need to regret it, because women in rural areas will be called immodest if they dress too fancy.

Qi Shufang suddenly thought of this, and decided to buy all the things, and then go to the thrift store to buy two floral shirts with long sleeves and short sleeves and a plaid blouse with a novel style, which would not be too fancy to attract gossip, and not too dark to make herself dull.

So happily decided!

Qi Shufang finished sorting out her things and quickly crossed out the things on the list that she had already bought.

Soon, there were only a few things on the list, and there were no stocks in the thrift store, so she didn't buy them, and she planned to go to other thrift stores tomorrow to see if there were any, if not, go back to Huaiguo again.

Granny Qi told her that there are often new goods in a store of such a large scale, and if this one does not have it, others may have it.

He Jianguo came back at night, running around for an afternoon, but in vain.

"I went to inquire about the situation of several other teachers, and those who came from poor peasants were fine, but few of them hurt their lives, and those who came from good backgrounds and had the experience of staying abroad were miserable. He Jianguo sighed, his eyes were bloodshot, "Those old classmates, who were kind and stood by, not only fell into the well, but also launched activities first, beating and bullying teachers, many teachers were humiliated and committed suicide. There are only two or three people who are willing to help the teacher, and they all suffered, some died, some suffered, and Cheng Ange was one of them, I heard that he was sent to Yunnan. ”

"Have you seen your old classmates?" Qi Shufang can completely imagine his situation, many people will choose to stay out of the way when they encounter problems, and they don't want to invite trouble, they pretend to draw a line with Professor Jin, isn't it the same?

He Jianguo said in a low voice: "I saw a few, but as soon as I saw me, I politely finished speaking and sent off the guests with tea." ”

He wasn't given a chance to mention Professor Kim, and of course, he wouldn't mention it recklessly.

"You are like this, you don't look like an autumn breeze! Generally speaking, old classmates will not do this when they see each other, even if they don't keep food, right?" Qi Shufang looked him up and down, he was very decent, he was burly, he could afford clothes, and he was very handsome.

He Jianguo sighed, "I'm afraid of provoking right and wrong." Now there is chaos everywhere, and we have to guard against it. ”

The two of them had a hasty dinner, and quietly gave Professor Jin and Granny Jin half a fruit cake and a little easy-to-digest white porridge and broth at night, and watched the old couple eat before leaving. With Qi Shufang's spiritual power, she didn't call anyone to bump into her, and came back to rest in a separate room.

The next day, He Jianguo had to find a way again, Qi Shufang grabbed him and talked about Granny Qi.

"Granny Qi's family may not be able to help, maybe people don't want to get involved in this kind of thing at all, but one more friend and one more way, we can't have to ask someone to help to make friends. You and I came to visit Granny Qi at the door, so that you would not be like a headless fly scurrying around. ”

He Jianguo was greatly surprised, she had only been in Shanghai for one day, and she had made friends? Although she was an elderly woman, the Li family sounded not simple, and there were not many people in the military, industry, and cadres who occupied it, and they lived in Shikumen.

Although the Li family does not live in a high-class apartment, it is not a shantytown, but an old-style building.

The construction of this kind of building is very strange, Qi Shufang has never seen it, when she walks in the door, she first sees the patio, and then it is a room similar to the living room, with an area of about twenty or thirty square meters, she swept it with her mental power, and found that behind this room is a staircase and a bathroom, as well as a small kitchen, the area is very small, the kitchen is only five or six square meters, the bathroom is a little smaller, and the kitchen is connected to a back door.

Spiritual power goes up the stairs, up one staircase, there is a small room, about seven or eight square meters, particularly short, the light is also very dim, and then up the stairs, it should be the master bedroom, the area of the room is about the same size as the living room downstairs.

It would be a mistake to think that this is the top.

The master bedroom is one step up the stairs, is the roof of the small room at the end of the first staircase, you can find this small room behind the master bedroom on the second floor, at most two meters high, and one step up the stairs, is a small attic, the attic is very low, the area is also very small.

The difficult situation of housing in Shanghai ranks first in the country, and many families with three generations of children and grandchildren share a room of about ten square meters, and it is difficult to even turn around. Compared to their small room, it is almost conceivable how spacious this old-style building owned by Li Lao and Granny Qi is as a residence, and there are enough seven or eight families living in such a building next door!

How do they live?

The living room on the first floor is divided into three rooms with a board wall, and the master bedroom on the second floor is also divided into three rooms, each of which is the same size as the room at the staircase, so that there are eight rooms with shared bathrooms and kitchens. The Li family is also divided in this way, each room is crowded with furniture and bedding, and it seems that there are people living in it, and it is the Li family.

Because when Granny Qi sued Qi Shufang, she said that their family lived in the building allocated by the state to her wife.

When Qi Shufang and He Jianguo came to the door, Granny Qi was the only one in the Li family, and when she heard Qi Shufang's cry outside the door, she walked out of a room on the first floor.

"Oh, Shufang, you're here, come in, come in. Seeing that the two of them were carrying a bunch of game, Granny Qi smiled from ear to ear.

He Jianguo carried pheasants and wild ducks in his left hand, and robe meat and rabbits in his right hand, and said honestly: "I don't know what my mother-in-law likes to eat, so I took a little bit of everything." ”

"Oops, what's so embarrassing?"

Qi Shufang took the game in her hand, and then stuffed it to Granny Qi, "I told my mother-in-law yesterday that we have no relatives and friends to send, and I don't want to take it home, so I will send some to my mother-in-law, so you don't dislike it." ”

"How can you dislike it? This is all high-quality game, you can't buy it with money or tickets, my old man used to march and fight in the mountains and forests to hunt, and also dealt with wild boars and wolves and other beasts for the place, and now he has retreated, so he wants to eat game, but unfortunately he doesn't. Granny Qi's hands sank, she did it so thoroughly, according to her experience, there were always ten catties.

Granny Qi hurriedly put the game into the kitchen, came out and poured two glasses of white sugar water to entertain them, and after a conversation, she saw an old man in an old army green military uniform coming in from outside angrily, "I'm so angry, the children are so naughty now!"

"What's the matter?"

Hearing Granny Qi's question, the old man touched the top of his bare head and said hatefully: "Didn't I want to save some water for our family? Who knew that someone had just come out of the toilet and pulled my hat away, and I was running as fast as I could, and I chased a few steps without catching up, and I didn't look at who the boy was!"

"I said earlier, the military uniforms and military hats worn by those people in the streets and alleys are all imitations, all of them are vivid, you are real, the real military hat is better than the fake military hat, how many people are worried, didn't they have two hats dragged away before? You have forgotten? You still wear a hat to go out, you deserve it!" Granny Qi smiled and bent over, and then felt distressed, "You wore a new hat when you went out today, and it was just a few days ago." I'll have to look around, and if I wear it, I'll find it. ”

"I just thought it was a little cold today, so I put my hat on my head, who knew this would happen. Hearing his wife say this, the old man regretted and felt distressed, "Hey, there is a guest at home?"

"Yes, yes, yes, if you don't say I'll forget about it. ”

Granny Qi hurriedly took Qi Shufang's hand, and when Li Lao came in, Qi Shufang and He Jianguo stood up.

Granny Qi solemnly introduced: "This is the little friend I met at the door of the thrift store yesterday, and I have the same surname, called Shufang. The young man was her lover, and I had just said a few words, and I didn't have time to ask for a name. ”

He Jianguo hurriedly confessed, and then briefly stated his name, and didn't say much else.

"The young man has a good body, he is powerful, and he is full of energy, why didn't he become a soldier?" Li Lao didn't pay much attention to Qi Shufang, but admired He Jianguo's appearance and body type, in the era when everyone is a soldier, such a talent must have something to do.

He Jianguo said with a smile: "When I was eighteen years old, I was just admitted to university, I didn't participate in the conscription, and I was directly assigned a job after graduation. ”

"It's good to be a worker, and the harvest is guaranteed in drought and flood. You old man, you think everyone is like you? Besides, it's not easy to be a soldier. Granny Qi rolled her eyes very elegantly, and then looked at the pair of beautiful people in front of her with a smile, "These two children specially gave us several pheasants and ducks today, all of which were made by themselves. ”

"Really?"

Seeing his wife nodding, Boss Li was overjoyed, "If you have game, you have to match it with good wine, I haven't eaten good game for many years." You take out the bottle of Moutai that the boss bought for me, and ask Jianguo Xiaoyou to accompany me for a few drinks. ”

Qi Shufang said goodbye, "We came to Shanghai all the way, and we still have something to do, so we have to go." ”

Boss Li said in a loud voice: "How can I let you go? You didn't come empty-handed, if I told you to leave on an empty stomach, wouldn't I be a stingy ghost? Stay, stay, what do you want to do, accompany me after eating and drinking, I will ask someone to do it for you, I have known so many people in my life, and I am quite neat in handling things." ”

He Jianguo's heart was excited, Qi Shufang was afraid that he would show his traces, so she preemptively said: "If you keep saying that, we can't stay." We came out to do the things explained by the production team, which is a business matter, and there is a letter of introduction, also known as justification, and it will be done soon. Private matters are entrusted by my father and fellow villagers, buy some things in Shanghai and go back, yesterday under the guidance of my mother-in-law, I was planning to go shopping again. What's more, the two of us were only brought back by a few officials from Xujiahui yesterday to investigate, and we must not affect your two elders. ”

As soon as he heard that he had been investigated, the second elder's face suddenly changed color, and he hurriedly asked what was going on.

"When I was at Konkuk University, I worshipped a professor surnamed Kim as a teacher, and I didn't talk to him for many years after graduation, and now the teacher is unlucky, and we didn't recognize him when we went shopping. I don't know how the people who are spying on Professor Kim know that Jianguo is a student of Professor Kim, so an officer took us away for investigation. Although the state has returned our innocence, we still can't implicate your second elder. Qi Shufang lowered her head and thought about it, and said the ins and outs in a few words.

Hearing Professor Jin's three words, Li Lao and Granny Qi glanced at each other, and the former smiled: "Since the country says that it has nothing to do with you, you are innocent, and you can't even affect me." What are you going to do with Professor Kim?"

Qi Shufang said innocently: "You still have to be careful, it won't be good if it really affects your second elder, after all, we only saw Professor Jin when we came to Shanghai." You keep asking us what to do, and we are not state cadres, what can we do with him? He is so bad that he almost affects us, and I hope that he will be unlucky. The state will not wronged anyone, the state says that he is a bad element, he is, our family is so good, we can't be with him, I can't wait to stay away from him. ”

When Li Lao heard this, he didn't keep them anymore.

Li Lao and Granny Qi did not express their position, did not sympathize with Professor Jin, and did not show a trace of approval for this kind of thing, He Jianguo was a little disappointed, but it was too common for Elder Li and Granny Qi to stay out of the matter, and it was normal for Professor Jin not to make a move, so he could only continue to run around, trying to ask someone to persuade the people who managed Professor Jin and his wife to send them below.

Qi Shufang went to the thrift store as usual, bought the rest of the things, and bought herself two floral shirts, a short-sleeved shirt with dark green floral flowers on a light green background, and a long-sleeved shirt with light blue flowers on a white background.

Just when He Jianguo was working in vain, suddenly someone from the Xujiahui Revolutionary Committee came to them and asked them when they would leave, so that they could show them the way, saying that the organization had decided after research that it would send a group of bad elements to the poorest and most miserable poor mountains and rivers, and seven of them were assigned to the Red Sun Commune, and Professor Jin was one of them.
