Although the commune's canteen also has meat, it is far from this.

And they were all feasting there.

Even Yang Guangchun and Qian Hongying were not polite, eating meat and rice, without any pretentiousness.

This made several people's favorability increase a lot.

If there is a person like the eldest lady, a few people will be a little restrained.

A few people were eating and chatting at the same time.

From time to time, someone greeted Yang Guangchun and Qian Hongying.

Three catties of rice, an average of one and a half catties, plus a few dishes, everyone ate cleanly, and even the broth was soaked in rice.

After eating, Yang Guangzhi was a little embarrassed.

However, seeing that Qian Hongying was also holding vegetable soup and making rice, she felt better.

Seeing the expressions of several people, Qian Hongying smiled: "It's better to go back to China!" In the past, when we were on the other side of the Yalu River, we ate fried flour, which was soybeans and corn flour with some salt. ”

Several people nodded when they heard this.

They had heard of some of the tragic situation over there.

People in the neighborhood came late, and a group of people chatted while eating, either smoking or drinking.

When a few people have eaten, these people are still eating.

Out of the canteen, everyone came to the factory, Yang Guangchun said to a few people: "Guangzhi, you wait for me, I'll ask for a leave, and I'll take you to my house later." Hongying, you also take a leave! ”

"Hey, good!"

Qian Hongying agreed with a smile.

Then the two went to their own department.

A few people were left waiting here blankly.

And from time to time on the road, a little girl passed by laughing, looking at a few people curiously.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Yang Guangchun and Qian Hongying came to the side of several people together.

Yang Guangchun pushed the bicycle and said hello to Yang Guangzhi with a smile.

"Let's go, take you to recognize the way, and then you will know here."

And Qian Hongying and Wang Qiuju were talking while walking.

The two Yang Xiaogang brothers followed and walked towards the outside of the factory together.

Yang Xiaole listened to Qian Hongying and her mother Wang Qiuju talking, and also knew that Qian Hongying had an older brother and an old mother at home.

In 47, when he was 13 years old, he followed the army from Henan to Kyoto.

When he was 18 years old, the last group to cross the Yalu River with the troops was also a fateful person.

Several people chatted while walking, and returned to the uncle's residence.

There is also a happy word on the door.

After coming in this time, it was not the same as the last time, and the furniture inside was basically new.

There are obvious signs of a recent marriage, and the furniture and windows are pasted with the word "happy".

"Sit down!"

Yang Guangchun gestured to a few people, and then complained: "You should have come over last night, and you can have a meal together!" ”

Yang Guangzhi said with a smile: "When we met Xiaogang, it was already around ten o'clock in the evening, it was too late. Even if you come, you can't catch up. ”

Hearing this, Yang Guangchun bowed his head slightly, and it was indeed the same.

Now the traffic is not convenient.

And Qian Hongying went to make tea for everyone.

Yang Xiaole glanced at it, he was worthy of being a cadre, and the tea he drank was not the kind of crushed dregs.

The cup is a white porcelain mug.

Yang Guangzhi took the water cup and thanked him, thought for a while and said to Yang Guangchun: "By the way, big brother, the old lady asked me to bring you a message." ”

Hearing the old lady, Yang Guangchun's smile was much less.

handed Yang Guangzhi a cigarette, and then asked, "What did she say?" ”

"She asked you to find a job in the city for Xiaohu, the second child of the Guangping family."

Hearing this, Yang Guangchun complained directly: "Let's go to the ball, I'll find a job for the second child's family?" How did I end up in the army, she forgot? How did you divide your family at a very long time, did she forget it?

I also kicked my nose in the face, you and I didn't go to the back door to get a job, I'll get it for him? What do you think? ”

After speaking, he took a lighter and lit a cigarette for Yang Guangzhi, and lit it for himself again.

Then he said: "I didn't turn my face with her when I went back, it was to see my father's face, after all, the old couple have been together for more than 20 years." I don't want to be that ugly. ”

Yang Guangzhi bowed his head slightly, he also meant this, and then said: "Big brother, let me tell you what the situation is, if you go back in a few days, they will definitely ask, you have a number in your heart." ”

When Yang Guangchun heard this, he thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, I know, go back and let them find me." ”

After speaking, he watched Yang Guangzhi staring at the lighter in his hand.

smiled and handed it over: "Here, this is for you, this one was captured by me over there before, and there is another one, I'll look for it." ”

"Hey, I don't want it, I'm just curious about what this thing is!"

Yang Guangzhi was a little embarrassed.

"Hey! What are you polite to me! I have one more! ”

After saying that, he went into the house and rummaged through it for a while, and came out with a worn-out lighter.

Already somewhat mottled and scratched.

There is also a small jar of kerosene next to it.

Yang Guangchun fiddled there.

Yang Xiaole glanced at it, it was very similar to those zippo lighters in later generations, basically the same.

In fact, ZIPPO's ordinary lighters are just ordinary people's lighters in the United States, and they have become high-end goods and luxury goods in the mainland.

No way, foreign gadgets are high-end.

However, the more reason is because of productivity, and it is also a rare thing to put a lighter here for 1 yuan in later generations.

"Rub~~"

Add kerosene and light it at once.

Yang Guangchun tried it a few times, and then smiled: "Okay, you can take it, I'll use this." If you can't hit it, it's not broken, it's out of gas, you just add some kerosene. ”

Hearing this, Yang Guangzhi played with it for a while, and then put it away rarely.

I've never seen anything like this!

Qian Hongying went to the house, and after a while, she came out with a bag in her hand.

put the things on the table, smiled at a few people and said, "Come, eat some melon seeds and peanuts, there are candy in it, take whatever you eat, you're welcome!" I'm angry at the politeness. ”

Wang Qiuju and the others looked at the contents of the bag and grabbed a little with a smile.

A few people sat there and chatted, after all, they were in a hurry last time.

Yang Xiaole sat there bored, and the electric fan blew on a few people, making everyone less stuffy.

Thinking about the house, he still had to ask for his mother.

Otherwise, the old lady will not be able to make up her mind.

So he asked Yang Guangchun: "Uncle, my mother wants to wait until the conditions are okay in the future, so let the eldest brother come out and rent a house by himself, after all, he will also get married in the future!" Whether to rent three rooms or two, she was still hesitating. ”

Seeing this, Yang Guangchun glanced at Xiao Gang and smiled: "Well, it's not Xiao Gang small, it's time to find one, rent a few rooms and do it yourself, I suggest don't be so anxious now, otherwise it will be a waste of money to rent." When he gets married in the future, he will rent two rooms, and if he has more children in the future, he will see if he can rent three rooms. ”

Yang Xiaole nodded and said, "It means that if there are fewer people, you can rent 2 rooms, and if you have more people, you can rent 3 rooms, right?" ”

After speaking, he raised his eyebrows at his mother Wang Qiuju.

I heard you.

Three rooms are suitable.

Yang Guangchun didn't know what was going on, so he nodded: "Well, but this rent is also terrible, take your time in the future!" Maybe it's the turn of the unit to divide the house! ”

And Yang Guangzhi and Wang Qiuju glanced at each other, a little hesitant.

Didn't say anything though.

After all, I didn't say it before.

And Yang Guangzhi felt a little guilty, feeling that he had deceived his eldest brother.

A few people were chatting, Yang Xiaole glanced at Yang Guangzhi and asked him, "By the way, Dad, when are we leaving?" ”

Yang Guangzhi thought for a while and said, "Let's go at night, I'll go to the mine tomorrow morning." ”

Yang Xiaole snorted, glanced at the eldest brother, and said, "Dad, you are not in a hurry to leave anyway, or the two eldest brothers and I will go to the city for a walk, I haven't played in the city yet!" Big brother goes to work every day, and he definitely hasn't played much. All right? ”

Yang Guangchun, who was next to him, also nodded when he saw this: "Okay, you let the two of them go and play, and the two of us brothers have a good chat, but we don't have time to talk." ”

Yang Guangzhi thought for a while, this guy knew the way, and finally agreed: "Okay, you guys go, don't make trouble, remember to come back before dinner at night." ”

After receiving the reply, Yang Xiaole was happy for a while.

pushed Yang Xiaogang next to him: "Big brother go, you take me to play!" ”

Yang Xiaogang stood up blankly, I'm not familiar with you yet! What am I taking you to play!

But he was also excited.

Then the two said hello and walked out the door.

Standing at the door, Yang Xiaole thought for a moment and shouted inside: "Dad, you come out!" ”

Yang Guangzhi came out curiously.

"What?"

Yang Xiaole rolled his eyes: "Dad give me some money and proof!" Otherwise, wouldn't it be troublesome if you get caught? ”

Then he asked in a low voice: "Dad, do you want me to help my mother rent the house, so that you don't have to be so troublesome." ”

Yang Guangzhi thought about it and finally shook his head: "Forget it, your mother will go back this time, and when the formalities are completed, you can save a few days of money when you come back and rent a house!" ”

After saying that, he handed him the certificate and 1 dollar.

Don't forget to explain: "Don't spend it indiscriminately, remember to return it to me if you don't use it up." ”

Yang Xiaole was speechless for a while, took the things, and promised to go downstairs with this big brother.

When he came outside, the eldest brother looked at him and asked, "Xiaole, where are you going to play!" I don't even know each other. ”

"Hurry up, let's go first."

Yang Xiaole urged him and hurriedly ran towards the bus stop outside.

The two came here and waited for a while before the bus came, bought a ticket and got on the bus, and headed in the direction of the city.

Walking on the road, Yang Xiaole asked, "Big brother, do you want to go to the movies?" Have you come here to watch a movie? ”

Yang Xiaogang shook his head: "No! I don't have time, and I'm reluctant to see it. ”

Yang Xiaole nodded, it's really good, I can't give up a penny.

The car entered the city and got off at the fork in the road near Wangfujing, according to Su Ling, the International Friends Service Department is near here.

He was going to go and see it alone.

I got out of the car and walked towards the shopping street.

Although the scenery on this road is still very shabby in his opinion, it is already one of the most prosperous places in this era.

He didn't pay much attention to the century-old store on the side of the road and the modern shopping mall on the letter cover.

Eyes search the cinema all around.

Let's see where you have to settle Big Brother.

I bought two bottles of soda and the two of them wandered around the street.

"Xiaole, where are we going?"

Yang Xiaole shook: "I don't know!" Take a look, we can't afford the contents inside, so let's take a look!"

"Forget it, why don't you buy it and go to see it?"

Hearing the eldest brother's restrained words, Yang Xiaole shook his head.

Really.

It's not used to the big cities.

Forget it, you'll get used to it when you stay in the city for a while.

As he walked, his eyes lit up when he saw the movie theater in front of him.

Found a place.

"Let's go, go to the cinema!"

After saying that, he walked over quickly.

When I came closer, I asked the conductor at the window.

The most recent one was half an hour later, and "The Cuckoo Calls Again" was 90 minutes long.

Yang Xiaole has watched this and knows that this TV belongs to the current movies about love.

Well, this one is for big brother.

The mind is open.

plus the waiting time, a total of 2 hours, enough for him to go out for a while.

I bought a ticket directly for 1 cent 2.

Yang Xiaogang took the money and wondered for a while, "Why do you only have one?" Don't you watch? ”

Yang Xiaole handed him 2 yuan and said: "Brother, I still have something to do, you can watch the movie here, if I haven't come back after watching it for a while, you continue to watch the next show, do you hear?" ”

"So what are you doing?"

"Oh, don't worry about me, I have something, don't say it when I go back! Okay, I won't tell you, I'm leaving. You can buy whatever you want, and then buy a bottle of soda to drink. ”

After saying hello, he ran away.

Seeing Yang Xiaole run away, Yang Xiaogang knew what this guy might have done.

I was still a little worried.

After looking at the movie theater, I finally thought about it, and waited quietly for the movie to start.

Yang Xiaole came out of the movie and walked towards the neighborhood.

Because this is a commercial street, it is very prosperous, and there are a lot of people on the road.

There are many people in Kyoto, and there are also many people who don't go to work.

I inquired about the location of the International Friends Service Department, which is less than two miles away, and it is only about ten minutes walk.

According to the position said by the other party, he quietly walked through the alley and came to Gennan Street in Donghuangcheng.

I walked forward for a while and came to the vicinity of Donghua Gate.

At a glance, I could see the big building in front of me.

There is a huge sign hanging: International Friends Service Department.

The four-story cement building has a small tile on the wall, and the exterior wall is a small and good 0 glass.

Looks classy.

Looking around, looking diagonally across from a construction garbage dump, he ran over and quietly entered the space to change into a set of clothes.

Pushing my bicycle towards the store.

There are a total of five foreign exchange shops in Kyoto and this one is an international friend service department.

Foreigners, overseas Chinese, and overseas Chinese throughout Kyoto are all buying things at these stores, and naturally there are not too few people.

I pondered it there for a while.

looked at the thirty or so men with backpacks not far away.

The other party squatted there and smoked, but his eyes kept staring around, and when he met someone who looked like a foreigner, he immediately pretended to know and greeted him.

Yang Xiaole knew at a glance that this was not a serious person.

After thinking for a moment, he pushed the cart and walked this way.

The other party saw his gaze, smiled and nodded, and ignored him!

“hello！”

No matter what, I went to high school in my previous life, even if my grades are poor, I still know some basic terms.

Hearing this, the other party's eyes lit up and he threw away the cigarette.

I looked around and walked over.

This is the child of overseas Chinese!

"Mani, Icks owes a loan, mud robbery, Mani."

Yang Xiaole listened to this patchwork of English and understood, "Money, exchange, RMB." ”

This is the receipt or exchange of foreign currency.

“How much is it to exchange one dollar for RMB！ (How much RMB is exchanged for one dollar.) ）”

Yang Xiaole spoke there in broken English.

"Oh, Knife Music, five, five!"

Yang Xiaole calculated that this exchange rate was equivalent to a doubling of the amount, which was too scary.

Because the current exchange rate against the US dollar is 2.49, which is almost twice the ratio.

Then it was not surprising that I thought about it.

The people who exchange this money are basically rich people in the mainland, and they are anxious to ask for this money, and the purpose is naturally self-evident.

Get out.

After thinking about it, he directly asked in Chinese: "What about the Hong Kong dollar?" What is the price now? ”

He knows that 100 Hong Kong dollars can be exchanged for 42 yuan 7, which is less than half.

The other party was stunned for a moment when he heard him say noon, and then smiled awkwardly: "You can speak Chinese, make fun of me!" ”

He didn't say much, though.

I thought Yang Xiaole was a child of overseas Chinese!

Then he said: "If you want Hong Kong dollars, one dollar can be exchanged for 9 cents." ”

When Yang Xiaole heard this price, he nodded, almost 2 times.

"What about the remittance vouchers?"

"Overseas Chinese remittance coupons are cheaper, the price is 1 to 1.2, besides, it's useless for you to ask for that thing!"

The man looked around cautiously and patiently explained.

Yang Xiaole bowed his head slightly, the overseas Chinese remittance coupons are different from the later foreign exchange coupons, the overseas Chinese remittance coupons are equivalent to food stamps, and only with this can you buy things, and you have to pay additional money.

And later foreign exchange coupons, in fact, are money, with the words foreign exchange coupons printed on them.

It can be used as a mixture of money and tickets. Used to buy things.

After explaining for a long time, the man still asked politely: "Children, do you have any foreign exchange at home to exchange for us?" Guaranteed fair price. ”

Yang Xiaole thought about it, but still shook his head: "I don't have foreign exchange, I just want to ask how to get in this foreign friend service department?" ”

Hearing his words, the man's face was not good-looking.

"No foreign exchange? You can't get in either? Then you give me a long time to get a liglen. Bad luck. ”

He also thought that Yang Xiaole was a child of overseas Chinese!

It's a mainlander who can't get in for a long time,

However, in line with the principle of harmony and wealth, he didn't say anything too much, and returned to the roadside to squat there.

He took out a cigarette and lit it and smoked it.

Didn't bother with him anymore.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole leaned over and smiled: "Big brother, let me ask, how do you get in here?" Can you get someone to help bring me in? ”

The other party glanced at him and said angrily: "You know foreign language yourself, and you won't find someone to take you in!" ”

Yang Xiaole shrugged.

Damn, my three-legged cat's English is just like yours, and it's useless to really touch foreigners.

However, you still need foreign exchange coupons to go in.

Thinking of this, he took out 24 yuan and handed it to him: "Then you give me a 20 yuan foreign exchange coupon, do you have it?" ”

Seeing that he had taken the money, the man regained his smile.

"Hey, this one has, but it's 1 piece 5."

After speaking, seeing Yang Xiaole frowning, he hurriedly said; "1 piece 2 is the price we charge, you can't let us do it for nothing!"

Yang Xiaole calculated the money in his hand, and there was not much left.

However, the contents are not expensive, so try buying a little less first.

"Okay, give me ten dollars."

A few more pieces of money were withdrawn, and the remaining 15 dollars were there.

The man took the money with a smile and handed him a ten-yuan overseas Chinese remittance voucher.

Yang Xiaole took the things and left directly.

He came to the bottom of the tree diagonally opposite, so that the doorman at the main gate could not see him, and there he searched everywhere for prey.

After a while, a woman in a long gown came with a little boy of three or four years old.

He was wearing an embroidered outfit.

Give him the feeling of Mrs. Kuo on the beach.

"Hey, sister!"

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole hurriedly came up, because when the other party was talking to the child in his arms, he was looking at the service department.

It was supposed to be going in.

The other party turned his head when he heard the voice, and asked strangely: "You...... Is it calling me? ”

"That's right, sister, I call you!"

Hearing this title, the woman covered her mouth and smiled: "Shouldn't you call me Auntie?" Why do you call me sister! ”

"I think you're the same age as my sister."

Yang Xiaole said innocently.

But the other party is really not big, probably twenty-six or seven.

Whoever was called like this was happy in his heart, so he smiled and said, "Hehe, then what are you looking for me to do?" ”

"Sister, I want to enter the Foreign Friends Service Department, can you take me in?"

After Yang Xiaole finished speaking, he said, "Oh, by the way, I have overseas Chinese remittance coupons." ”

The woman glanced around: "Little friend, what about your family?" ”

"My family went to work, and I just wanted to go in and buy something."

When the woman heard this, she looked at the overseas Chinese remittance voucher in his hand, thought about it and nodded: "Okay, you come in with me." ”

Anyway, it's just to take him in.

It's not about buying him something.

"Hey, okay, thank you, sister."

Yang Xiaole was happy for a while.

Then several people walked into the mall.

Coming to the door, a man in a suit was checking there.

The woman handed him a document, and the other party glanced at it and stretched out one hand: "Please ......"

He returned the documents to her.

The woman took the ID and led him inside.

After coming in, the woman looked at Yang Xiaole and smiled: "Okay, no one will care when you go out, you can see for yourself!" I'll go first! ”

"Okay, thank you, sister, by the way, sister, what's your name?"

"Hehe, you're welcome, it's just a small favor. Let's go! ”

After saying that, he smiled and went to the mall.

Names were also not said.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole was not reluctant, and took care of the store by himself.

The decoration inside is high-end, basically all of them are tiles, the floor is laid with white marble, and the counters inside are basically made of glass and marble.

All the people inside were dressed in suits.

It looks like you work in a bank.

I didn't care, I wandered back and forth inside.

There are four floors in total, and the things here are rare things in the mall outside.

What kind of watch bicycle, as long as you have enough overseas Chinese remittance coupons, you can buy them without a ticket.

As for the meat, oil, sugar, and cloth stamps that come with the coupon of overseas Chinese remittances, these things can be bought at grocery stores, so there is naturally no need to come here to buy them.

Except for these four, all the others do not require a ticket.

Remittance vouchers are equivalent to tickets.

Imported food, imported musical instruments, watches, it can be said that everything is available.

Gold, silver and jewelry, which are not allowed to be traded in the market, can be bought here to your heart's content, and no one cares.

It's not just about daily necessities.

There are also various crafts.

High-end calligraphy and painting, blue and white porcelain, pastel, after all, Yang Xiaole has studied a little in later generations.

He drooled at the sight of these things.

There are so many high-quality products, even the best.

These are not ordinary dishes, they are all beautiful standing pieces.

Some were fired after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

But it is not that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the firing is not precious, there are many unique products, the firing process is extremely difficult, and it is more valuable than some antiques.

Among these things, calligraphy and painting are the most expensive, ranging from dozens of dollars to thousands.

Porcelain is much cheaper, and the most expensive is only a few dozen yuan.

It's just that kind of oversized talent over 100.

Glancing at the carving.

The whole ivory carving product that costs more than 300 yuan, not to mention this thing in the future, even the price of foreign ivory is not low now.

It's a pity that they can't afford it.

Yang Xiaole looked around and came to his target area.

looked at the bracelet behind the counter with a price tag of 1,300 yuan, and sighed that there were really many rich people at this time.

He didn't know the variety, but he knew it was jadeite.

He didn't know what quality it was, but it was really good-looking.

Translucent green, it's really a bit like the imperial green on TV.

After looking around, he pointed to a silver necklace and said, "Can you show me this?" ”

More than 8 yuan, mainly because this gem is big!

Pale green gemstones, I don't know what material it is.

The waitress looked at him and asked; "Where's your family?"

The other party is very young, probably twenty-four or five years old.

Yang Xiaole directly put the 10 yuan on the table: "I buy things by myself, don't adults come over." Can't watch it? ”

The waitress didn't say anything more when she saw this.

Carefully took the things out.

Yang Xiaole took it and put it in his hand and touched it.

No response.

The necklace is silver, very thin, and the workmanship is beautiful, but it weighs like that, about the same as 2 silver dollars, and this also includes coin-sized gemstones.

At first glance, it imitates the style of foreign countries.

Yang Xiaole wondered for a while, what was it that had a reaction?

Then he looked up and asked, "Sister, what is this made of?" Jade? ”

"No, it's turquoise!"

Yang Xiaole sighed lightly and handed over the things: "Thank you, I'll take a look at the others." ”

The other party patiently took the thing.

Yang Xiaole picked a few more and looked at them.

In the end, some problems were determined, that is, ordinary jade was useless.

Only colored gemstones, like jadeite, ruby, sapphire, emerald, aquamarine, tanzanite, tourmaline, these things are useful.

At this time, the waiter was already a little impatient.

Because he keeps taking, he just doesn't buy it.

But when it comes to international relations, there is no way to get angry, so I can only endure it like this.

Yang Xiaole was a little embarrassed.

"Sister, I'll take a look at the other things, I'll buy them later."

The waitress nodded slightly, and ignored him again.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole came to the position next to him, especially the position of the carved ornaments, and watched there.

There are ordinary jade carved Buddha statues.

There are big and small.

And it's on the countertop, and there's a red blanket on it, and things are on it.

It gives the feeling of a stall.

It's like a bunch of random things in front of an antique shop.

Yang Xiaole looked east and west.

"Huh!"

His hand had just touched something, and he snorted.
