As the name suggests, the cadre rest house usually refers to the management department of the retired cadres of the army, and its full name is "the rest house for retired cadres of the army".

In the 80s and 90s, in accordance with the regulations of the higher authorities, the conditions for retired cadres to enter the military cadre rest center were those who joined the army before 2 September 1945, or the division-level cadres who joined the army before the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949.

Gu Yu secretly exclaimed in his heart: This inconspicuous old man in front of him turned out to be an old revolutionary in the cadre retreat, he was really unseemly, awesome!

When Gu Yu transferred from the countryside to the city in the sixth grade of primary school, the grandfather of a classmate in the class lived in this cadre rest house, and retired as a veteran cadre at the deputy division level. When he graduated from elementary school, his father was a martyr pilot who died in the line of duty, and he was taken care of and directly entered the junior high school of Minghai No. 1 Middle School without examination......

"Uncle, are you an old Red Army?" Gu Yu asked curiously.

"Hehe, it's all in the past......" The old man laughed a few times and did not answer positively.

But everyone got to know each other briefly, and the old man told Gu Yu that his name was Xiao Guangming, and he would just call him "Old Xiao" in the future.

Lao Xiao lives on the first floor of a four-story building, a three-bedroom and two-living room suite, with a small garden outside, and the house is very simple but elegantly furnished.

There are a lot of calligraphy and paintings hanging in the living room, with green plants, which is very meaningful. From the open door of the study, you can see a pile of rice paper and calligraphy works stacked inside, and the desk of the writing desk is placed with pens, ink, paper, inkstones, rulers and other stationery. It seems that Lao Xiao usually likes to practice calligraphy.

After entering the door, Lao Xiao shouted inside: "Lao Hu, there are guests at home, cut an iced watermelon for us!" ”

"Okay, Lao Xiao, which distinguished guest is here?"

As she spoke, an old lady with glasses came out of the kitchen, not tall, with gray hair, but very temperamental. This old lady called Lao Hu by Lao Xiao looks a bit like Jin Yueji, Hao Dongmei's mother in the TV series "The World".

Lao Xiao smiled and introduced to Lao Hu: "This is a new friend I just met, named Gu Yu, a young living Lei Feng!" ”

"Living Lei Feng?" Lao Hu looked at the young Gu Yu in front of him, and his expression was puzzled.

"This young man, he came to help me, this old man, repair the radio for free, isn't this a live Lei Feng?"

"Oh, that's what happened. Then you're busy, I'll go cut the watermelon! ”

In the living room, Gu Yu connected the electric soldering iron to the power supply, heated it, dipped it in a little solder and rosin, and quickly soldered the unsoldered wires in the radio back.

After reinstalling the battery on the radio, as soon as it was turned on, the pleasant voice of the host came from inside: "Central People's Radio, here is the noon news program ......"

Hearing that the baby radio that had been with him for many years was as good as ever, Lao Xiao was as happy as a child: "Great." Thank you, Xiao Gu, your technique is fantastic! ”

"You're welcome, Uncle Xiao!"

Gu Yu smiled secretly in his heart: What kind of technology is this......

At this time, Lao Hu brought up a pot full of cut chilled watermelon: "Come, Xiao Gu, thank you, hard work, let's eat watermelon together!" ”

Gu Yu packed up his tools, got up and said, "Uncle Xiao, Aunt Hu, you're welcome, I have something else at home, so I have to leave first." ”

Lao Xiao pulled Gu Yu down, sat beside him, and pretended to be angry: "Xiao Gu, don't be in a hurry to leave!" You help me fix my radio for free, and you don't charge me money, and you don't eat my watermelon, what are you? ”

"Even if you learn from Lei Feng, you have to eat watermelon before leaving, right?"

Seeing Lao Xiao's serious appearance, Gu Yu had to sit down and pick up a piece of watermelon.

"How's it going?" Lao Hu asked with a smile.

"Well, it's delicious, it's sweet and cool!"

At the moment, my grandparents have not purchased a refrigerator at home, and this is the first time Gu Yu has eaten chilled watermelon since he came back from rebirth, which is really refreshing.

Lao Xiao looked at Gu Yu's work clothes and asked, "Xiao Gu, your skills are so good, are you an employee of Minghai Radio No. 4 Factory?" ”

Gu Yu's face flushed slightly and said, "No, I'm actually a student......"

"Students? Which university, Minghai University, or Minghai College of Engineering? ”

At present, there are not many universities in Minghai City, and there are currently four universities: Minghai University, Minghai College of Engineering, Minghai Normal University and Minghai Fisheries College.

Being asked by Lao Xiao like this, Gu Yu's face turned even redder: "I haven't studied in college yet......"

Lao Xiao estimated that Gu Yu was studying at a technical secondary school, technical school or vocational high school, so he didn't ask anymore, and said with a smile: "Oh, that's not bad, during the summer vacation, participating in social practice and work-study can not only increase experience, but also have a little income, which is very good!" ”

"Uncle Xiao, Aunt Hu, thank you for the watermelon, it's delicious, then I'll go." After nibbling on a large piece of chilled watermelon, Gu Yu got up again to say goodbye.

"Okay, okay, Xiao Gu, next time I have time to be a guest."

Lao Xiao just sent Gu Yu to the door.

A black Audi drove in from outside the dry rest house and slowly stopped at the door of the small courtyard.

The black Audi has a bright green business license plate on it: East B00019

Minghai City belongs to Donghai Province, and is also one of the first coastal open cities in the country, a sub-provincial city, and its economic strength ranks first in the province, stronger than the provincial capital Songhu City.

In Donghai Province, the license plate of the provincial capital starts with East A, and the city of Minghai is East B.

East B00019 with a license plate number of less than 200 is generally a special vehicle of the Minghai Municipal Government.

From the back seat of the Audi came a man in his forties, looking imposing.

After getting out of the car, he shouted at Lao Xiao: "Dad, there are guests at home?"

"Haha, this is a new friend I just met, a young living Lei Feng ......"

……

After saying goodbye to Lao Xiao and going home for a simple lunch, in the afternoon, Gu Yu came to the thrift market in Sanba City, South Gate.

Located outside the south gate of the ancient city of Minghai "Changchun Gate" and on the bank of the Nantang River, the South Gate of Sanba City has a long history.

The full name of this place is called: South Gate Thrift Material Trading Market, Sanba City Daily Necessities Market, and this is the largest thrift market in Minghai City.

On the days of every Wednesday and every eight, go to the three markets of the South Gate to catch up with the "Taobao", which was a grand festival for many old Minghai people.

The "city" of Sanba City is actually neither a city in the concept of zoning nor a city at the administrative level, but a city in the old "city day". "Market day", that is, the day of market trade, and the corresponding non-market day is called "idle day".

The bazaar of Sanba City was initially in the Song and Yuan dynasties, and gradually flourished after the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Before Gu Yu's rebirth, there were still many citizens who liked to come to Sanba City to "Taobao". The fireworks of the 38 city in the south gate carry the good memories of countless people in Minghai City.

There is a small road called Guanshan Road in Sanba City, which sells second-hand electronic appliances on both sides.

Although today is not the "March and Eighth" market day, there are still many stalls selling old electrical appliances on both sides of the road.

After walking around, Gu Yu took a fancy to a bad "Phoenix" old refrigerator and Jinghua Walkman......
