After getting into the car, Li Xiaoyun remembered to introduce her brother to Lin Yan, for Li Daqi, Song Yuanchao's best friend, Lin Yan had heard his name a long time ago, but I will see you on the first day today.

greeted each other very warmly, Li Daqi started the car, although the car was also hot, but Li Daqi installed an electric fan on the top of the car, as soon as the car started the fan, the fan turned up, and the sound of the buzzing motor blew on the body with a heat wave, but it was much stronger than basking in the sun.

Lin Yan is still the first time to come to Huhai, from the railway station all the way to the city, looking at the scenery outside the car window, Lin Yan's mood is very excited, when the car passes some old buildings, Song Yuanchao will also explain the origin of these buildings and the identity of their previous owners.

"Where are the houses where the three tycoons of Huhai live?" Lin Yan asked suddenly.

Song Yuanchao immediately smiled: "They don't live here, the train station and the direction of my house are in the north district of Shanghai, and the three tycoons live in the old concession and the south district, what is the company close to the river in the east, and I will take you to have a good walk tomorrow." ”

"Okay!" Lin Yan nodded happily, compared to Yanjing, Huhai is just an emerging city, although as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Huhai was the fief of the famous Chunshenjun, but it really developed after the forties of the last century.

However, in just over 100 years, Shanghai has become the largest and most economically developed city in China.

"I'll go too, I'll go with you, by the way, I know there are a lot of delicious places to eat, Sister Yanzi, I'll invite you." On the side, Li Xiaoyun raised her hands and cheered, Lin Yan was the happiest when she came, knowing that Lin Yan was coming, Li Xiaoyun had already figured out how to take Lin Yan to go shopping, Huhai has a lot of fun and delicious food, and she has always been taken care of by Lin Yan in Yanjing, and this time it is her turn to be the east.

Li Xiaoyun's eagerness made everyone laugh, the four of them talked and laughed in the car, and soon arrived near Song Yuanchao's house, Li Daqi parked the car on the side of the road, carried the luggage with Song Yuanchao, and took Lin Yan and Li Xiaoyun to the alley.

"This is the alley?"

The first time I saw the alley of Shikumen, Lin Yan looked around curiously, Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan said that the alley, and deliberately compared the alley of Yanjing with the alley, walking into the alley is a strong breath of life, although the pattern is different from the alley of Yanjing, but Lin Yan has to admit that Song Yuanchao is right, the alley of Huhai is indeed a little similar to the alley of Yanjing in some aspects.

"Hey, isn't this aiding Korea? Coming back? ”

"Aid Korea, who are these two girls? Is that your girlfriend? ”

"You're not old enough to be seventy or eighty, and you're old and dizzy? This little girl is Li Xiaoyun, Daqi's sister, she has been here many times, and this beautiful girl should be the object of aiding the DPRK. ”

"Yes, yes, it's too hot, it's dizzy, hahaha......."

As soon as they entered the alley, they ran into neighbors, and everyone greeted Song Yuanchao affectionately, and at the same time looked at Lin Yan and Li Xiaoyun who were with Song Yuanchao.

Song Yuanchao greeted everyone generously, and from time to time he stopped and took out some special snacks brought back from Yanjing from the luggage he was carrying and distributed them to everyone.

"Brother Aiding Korea! Brother Aiding Korea! ”

While talking, a few children ran from afar, running at the forefront, still holding a toy gun in their hands, sweating profusely, and the sea soul shirt on their bodies was dirty.

"Little Haozi!" Seeing this kid, Song Yuanchao smiled, this little guy hasn't seen him for half a year and has grown taller, but he is still as naughty as before.

A few friends who ran with him were either classmates or children of neighbors, since he got the toy gun given to him by Song Yuanchao, Zhang Hao has become the most beautiful boy in the whole alley, and now during the summer vacation, every day at dawn, he ran out with the toy gun pinned to his waist and played with his friends, and he would never come back until meal time.

"Brother Aiding Chao, Nong is back! Do you bring anything delicious? Zhang Hao grinned, his eyes wandered around the luggage that Song Yuanchao was carrying, and when Song Yuanchao happily took out a large bag of fruit dan peel from the luggage, Zhang Hao's eyes could no longer be taken off.

"Take it, share it with your children, and remember not to swallow it alone." Song Yuanchao directly stuffed a bag of fruit dan peel into Zhang Hao's arms, Zhang Hao screamed excitedly, and then waved his hand at his friends.

"This is Xiao Haozi?" On the side, Lin Yan watched them run away and asked.

"Yes, he is Zhang Hao, the son of Uncle Jianguo, the kid is very smart, but he is playful, but the boy will only have a chance after being naughty and mischievous."

Song Yuanchao looked at Zhang Haoyuan and couldn't help but think of what he looked like when he was a child, he was also a leather king back then, how can a boy be called a boy if he doesn't have a skin, although children who follow the rules are liked by adults, but in Song Yuanchao's opinion, children with skin points are more childish.

continued to walk inside, and when they were about to arrive at the door, the Zhang family's aunt and Xiao Pingping, who had heard the news, also came out.

Seeing the Zhang family's aunt standing at the door looking at him from a distance, with a kind smile, Song Yuanchao hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to hold the old man's arm.

"Auntie, why did you come out on such a hot day?"

"In the house, I heard a whine outside, let Pingping come out to see, Pingping came back and said that you are here, where can I still sit? Isn't this coming out. "The Zhang family's aunt is in good spirits, although it is a hot day, she is still as healthy as usual, which makes Song Yuanchao feel a lot more relieved.

"It's hot outside, let's go inside." Song Yuanchao picked up Xiao Pingping, and at the same time supported the Zhang family's aunt with one hand to go inside, Lin Yan and Li Daqi followed behind, and entered the house, because it was the first floor and the sun was not directly shining, it felt much cooler than outside.

Looking at the electric fan turned on in the room, Song Yuanchao frowned slightly: "Auntie, didn't I ask Daqi to help you install the air conditioner?" How not to use it? ”

In June, Song Yuanchao specially asked Li Daqi to help him and Zhang's mother's house install air conditioners, and the air conditioners were specially bought at the Friendship Store.

On April 1 this year, the state officially issued foreign exchange coupons, which began to appear as a special currency or ticket form between foreign currency and the renminbi, and with the emergence of foreign exchange coupons, a special type of store appeared in big cities such as Shanghai and Yanjing, which are foreign-related stores.

The Friendship Store is the largest foreign-related store in Shanghai, and there are many in-demand goods that cannot be bought in ordinary stores, as well as many imported goods. Of course, these things cannot be bought with ordinary money, and they need to be purchased with foreign exchange coupons, so that a special profession has been formed in the market, which is "scalpers"

The scalpers in Huhai, also known as the "piling mold", often wander around the friendship store, major foreign-related hotels, and the Bank of China, and read "foreign currency has a cut...... Foreign exchange bills are ...... privately, and they are engaged in the buying and selling of renminbi and foreign currencies and foreign exchange bills of various countries.

For Song Yuanchao, foreign exchange coupons are not a difficult thing, he can easily get some foreign exchange coupons through the relationship between Xiangjiang and Yangcheng, of course, he never thought of making money by relying on foreign exchange coupons, but with foreign exchange coupons it is much more convenient to buy many things, including the air conditioner that Li Daqi was entrusted to help install.

The current air conditioner is definitely not as good as that of later generations, and it is limited to the power and pattern of the old house, the air conditioner Li Daqi bought is the old-fashioned window machine, but in this era, the window air conditioner is already a very great advanced thing, you must know that the vast majority of people have never even seen an air conditioner.

Even if it is a window machine with less power, Li Daqi still replaced all the old wires of the Zhang family and Song Yuanchao during the installation, and even the electricity meter was replaced with a new one, in order to avoid problems with the instability of voltage and current of this high-power electrical appliance.

This is what Song Yuanchao and Li Daqi said before, the air conditioner was installed a few days after it was bought, so that it could be used in the hot summer months.

"The air conditioner was too cold, and the electricity was also very good. It's not hot in my house in the daytime, and I've long been used to the electric fan blowing, so I turn it off for two hours before going to bed at night, and it's good to be safe and stable all night. Zhang Jianiang said with a smile.

For an old man like her, thrift is already a habit in the bones, compared to the power consumption of the electric fan, the power consumption of the air conditioner is several times that of the electric fan, although it is comfortable to open and blow, but seeing the meter running fast in circles, Zhang Jianiang felt that her heart was a little unbearable.

However, after Song Yuan entered the house, the Zhang family didn't care about the electricity bill, and went directly to turn on the air conditioner, and when the air conditioner buzzed, a cool breeze suddenly dispersed the heat in the house.

Knowing A-Niang's character, Song Yuanchao didn't say anything about it, and thought in his heart that he would wait for Zhang Jianguo to talk to Zhang Jianguo when he came back, the old man is old, and the summer in Huhai is too hot, so he buys an air conditioner for the old man, so what's the matter?

engulf

Besides, how much is this electricity bill worth? Does Song Yuanchao care about these electricity bills? The old man is doing well, this is what Song Yuanchao hopes.

"Aid Korea, ...... this girl?" When she was at the door, the Zhang family's aunt noticed Lin Yan, and now after sitting down, her eyes are looking back and forth on Lin Yan.

"I almost forgot, Ah Niang, let me introduce you, this is Lin Yan, my object, I mentioned it to you before. You just call her swallow, that's what we call her. ”

"Swallow ......? It's a good name, and it's joyful to hear it. When the Zhang family mother heard Song Yuanchao say that Lin Yan was his object, she suddenly laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth, Song Yuanchao didn't bring Lin Yan back during the previous winter vacation, and the Zhang family's mother chattered for a few days, and today can be regarded as seeing someone.
