Episode 8 Return to China

Located in the capital's 'small cross street', Chen Shuqin's home, three bungalows, a small courtyard, because often not at home, at this time is already overgrown with weeds, after getting off the plane at the Beijing airport, Chen Shuqin did not arrange for Guo's mother to live in the hotel, but directly led them to their own 'nest'.

"Auntie, let's get home," sent Chen Shuqin back was a colleague Wang Hong, who is now the secretary of a certain leader, and Chen Shuqin is very good, when she learned that Chen Shuqin was going back to the capital, she volunteered to drive them up in person.

"Thank you, girl, come into the house and sit down," Guo's mother didn't expect Chen Shuqin to have a small home in the capital, which was not mentioned in the letters of her son and daughter-in-law.

"No, I still have something to do at night, and there is a lot of chaos in this courtyard, and you really have to clean up for a while."

"Why don't you stay and help clean it up?" Chen Shuqin quipped.

"You're so beautiful, I made an appointment with a certain eldest prince at night, I went to the Beijing Hotel, and I have to go back to take a shower and change clothes," Wang Hong didn't wait for Chen Shuqin to speak, and drove away.

"This girl is so spicy, she is also with you?"

"Yes, when Kaiqing and I first came to the capital, she took care of us, and now she is the chief's secretary and does not work at the grassroots level."

"Oh, no wonder, but this girl looks pretty good."

"Mom, don't let her be deceived by the surface, she's a ruthless character, she can kick a big man's ribs with one kick."

"yes, then you need to stay away from her."

"Hahaha."

After returning home, Chen Shuqin went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables first, and Guo's mother and Guo Xiaochun helped her clean the house.

For the work, Guo Xiaochun's meticulousness is even more meticulous than that of the cleaners, from the weeds in the yard to the glass on the windows. Even the large water tank, which has not been used for a long time, has been brushed back and forth several times, and after the most confirmed that there is no dirt, he has filled a full tank of water.

Guo's mother has raised so many children over the years, and she is even better at housework, she cleans the house cleanly, and the cabinets on the ground are also spotless, waiting for the grandparents to clean about the same. Chen Shuqin also came back.

"Mom, let's eat ready-made food in the evening," Chen Shuqin came back on her bicycle, with a lot of ready-made dishes hanging on the handlebars.

"Didn't you say you went to the vegetable market, why are there still cooked vegetables to sell in the vegetable market?"

"I totaled it, we were tired of taking the plane, so I stole it and came to some ready-made, which is the famous 'Hutong dumplings' in Beijing. His dishes are also very authentic and have a unique flavor," Chen Shuqin said, taking the plates and bowls handed by Guo Xiaochun, and eating them ready-made. One by one, they were poured into the dishes.

Before Guo's mother went to Hong Kong, the old Guo family raised funds, and since there was not much cost in Hong Kong, Guo's mother decided to bring the rest of the money back. Because before he left, Guo Kaiying exchanged most of the money for "Hong Kong paper", which was still changed on the 'small bench' at the door of the bank. Now Guo's mother wants to buy some things for everyone with this money in the capital, but I don't know what to do.

"Fifth aunt, grandma said that she wants you to take her to the door of the bank to see if you can exchange the Hong Kong paper for our money."

"It seems that this business is not popular here in the capital, I have never seen it."

"Then go to the bank to change careers, grandma wants to buy some things for the family in the capital."

"I don't think this is good, the foreign exchange has to explain the source of the money, if you say that it was changed at the door of the bank, who will believe it."

"What then?"

"That's it, I'll go to the unit to find a way when I have time to see if there are any colleagues who want to change the Hong Kong paper, they often go out."

"That's great." Guo Xiaochun handed over Guo's mother's 'Hong Kong paper' to Chen Shuqin's hands.

After many days, the national security headquarters in the capital has fully matured and has become a security organization that controls all parts of the country, and the head of the security department saw that the organizational structure had been formed, so he applied to the headquarters to take a back seat, on the grounds that 'when you are old, let the young comrades take on more heavy burdens,' but Chen Shuqin felt that the matter of Staff Officer Xie was very important, so she had to report to the old man first, and then take the opportunity to act.

The "General's Building" is still the same, there is no sign hanging in front of the gate, the guards standing guard are all the guards with the 'four pockets', Chen Shuqin first contacted the chief's secretary, and then obtained permission, went to the second floor of the small building, that is, the chief's study.

"Hello Chief!" Chen Shuqin was not wearing a uniform today, and after entering the door, she gave a nod to the chief.

"Yo, isn't this our heroine, I heard that you took your mother-in-law to Hong Kong for a trip?"

"I'm sorry chief, I broke the discipline."

"It's normal for people, I also know a little about your mother-in-law, and it's hard for her, a bourgeois lady, she has been incognito for so many years, it seems that she is the real heroine among women," the news of the head of the Ministry of Security is quite bright, Guo Kaiqing and Chen Shuqin are the people he values, and the natural family background has to be investigated one by one, he can entrust Chen Shuqin to reuse, he doesn't care if she is the 'goddaughter' of which chief, what he values more is that Chen Shuqin is the orphan of the martyr, for the sake of the 'two Chen', he also has to do this.

"Chief, please take a look at this," Chen Shuqin put the photo Liu Hong gave her on the chief's desk.

"You found him?"

"No, this is what Liu Hong gave me when I was in Hong Kong."

"It seems that this Liu Hong is really a character, I have also heard about Chushan and them, this person can be described as ill-intentioned."

"He put forward a condition to us, saying that if we can send Professor Wang of physics abroad, they can release Staff Officer Xie."

"This is impossible, this Professor Wang is an anarchist, the old society is a so-called democrat, and he was persecuted during the turmoil, if such a person goes out, it will definitely have a great impact on the country, this must be a trick of rice imperialism, we can't be fooled," the old man's words said very affirmatively, and no one else can refute it.

"Then let's put this matter aside for a while, I'll go back to the south and start preparing to investigate the whereabouts of Staff Officer Xie, find out where the people are held, and then be rescued."

"Thank you, don't worry about it, I've already arranged for someone to save him."

"Okay, there's nothing else, I'm going back to the unit to sell my leave to the leader."

"You wait first, bring this box of tea to your mother-in-law, and say that I, Xie Lu, thanked him for raising the sons of two heroes, and as a veteran, I salute her."

"Chief Xie Lu, I will definitely convey your thoughts to her."

After Chen Shuqin sold her leave to the unit, she wanted to ask Wang Hong to help her dispose of the 'Hong Kong paper' that Guo's mother couldn't use.

"How many do you have?" As soon as she heard that Chen Shuqin had 'Hong Kong paper', Wang Hong immediately became interested.

"Not much, less than 20,000."

"Less is less, but you can give it to me, and I'll send you money in the evening," Wang Hong was obviously able to dispose of these 'foreign exchange coupons'.

"That's okay, the money is not in a hurry, I still have some here, if the old man wants to buy something, he will spend mine first." Chen Shuqin put down the 'Hong Kong paper' and walked out of Wang Hong's office.

A box of good tea leaves and a word from the chief are enough to make an ordinary person excited, but when Chen Shuqin brought the tea and words of the head of the security department, Guo's mother was unhappy.

"A bag of tea, a few good words, I want my son to be born and die, this is too cheap for him, my son is so big, he didn't go to the battlefield to die."

"Grandma, do we still want this tea?"

"Yes, why not, this is what I deserve."

"Hehehe."

At eight o'clock in the evening, Wang Hong delivered the 'Great Unity' to Chen Shuqin's home on time.

"Auntie, you order, I will change it for you according to the bank's exchange rate, and increase the price by five percent."

"So much, I said, girl, who have you changed it to?"

"You don't know what to do, now there is no reform and opening up, most of the chief's children have now gone to college abroad, your little money is not enough for them to stuff their teeth," Wang Hong said very proudly, the more she talked, the happier she became, and she regarded herself as a 'celebrity'.

After living in the capital for a few days, Chen Shuqin took her grandparents and grandchildren to visit the places of interest in the capital, and bought a lot of local products for her relatives in her hometown in City A, and then she was satisfied and stepped on the train back to City A.
