Era: I have a two-world door

Chapter 515 I wish you all a happy new year in advance!
Wang Qingsong came out of the unit and went straight home.

When I returned to the compound near my home, I felt something was wrong as I was walking around.

Standing back, he looked at the row of brand new cement houses and took another look.

Look at the house number again!
"Yes! We are not going the wrong way!"

At this time, the previously dilapidated back house had been renovated and turned into a cement house facing the street, with the main door also facing the street.

The previously empty blue brick wall now has several windows.

I didn’t react before, so I walked past it.

However, there is still a lot of waste piled up in the corridor. The good thing is that there is not as much as before, and it is not as messy as before.

But the street door was closed.
"Sister Liang!"

At this time, Zhao Ming's daughter-in-law was standing in front of the hanging flower gate, cracking melon seeds and chatting with a woman in her thirties.

The other person was probably in his thirties, but the clothes he wore were not something that ordinary people could wear.

Wearing a woolen coat
Hearing this, the other party turned his head and said with a smile: "Hey, Qingsong is back! When did you arrive?"

Wang Qingsong walked closer and said with a smile: "Oh, I just came back today!"

After saying that, he looked at the back house that had been transformed into five cement tile houses and asked curiously, "Sister Liang, what's going on? Why is the house being renovated?"

There are still remnants of firecrackers at the door.

Probably a few days.

Hearing this, Liang Ruyan laughed cheerfully and said, "This is Uncle Wang's youngest son who has returned from abroad, and this is his wife Song Rujin."

After hearing this, Wang Qingsong looked at the woman with the aura of a noble lady.

He smiled and said, "Hello! Sister-in-law!"

Subconsciously, he didn't want his generation to be too low, so it was better to be of the same generation.

Unless he is a recognized elder in the compound.

Song Rujin was also very happy when he heard the other party call him sister-in-law.

After she came in, a group of people called her aunt and grandma, which made her feel uncomfortable.

"Hello! I heard that there is a purchasing agent in our compound. I finally met him today! He looks so young. Come and have some sunflower seeds."

Speak Mandarin.

But there is a hint of Cantonese or Hokkien in the tone.

Wang Qingsong took it with a smile: "Thank you!"

"you're welcome!"

The other party said with a smile.

Wang Qingsong looked at the house. It had been renovated and had windows added. It was no longer as dim as before.

You can see people chatting in the room.

He retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "Then you guys chat, I'll go back first."

"Well, good! Let's go back quickly! It's been a hard journey."

Seeing this, Wang Qingsong greeted them and then returned to the yard with his things.

At this time, there were also some women busy in the yard.

"Auntie Han, Auntie Wang!..."

Looking at the people busy in the yard, he greeted them with a smile.

"Hey, Qingsong is back!"

"Well, come back..."

He repeated what he had said before, exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then carried his things back to his home.

When I opened the door, the things inside were still as simple as before, but very neatly organized.

He placed the things on the table, walked to the washstand, picked up the thermos and shook it.

full.

I opened it and tried it, and it was still very hot. It was obviously the water that had just been boiled when Liang Chunxiao left in the morning.

He put down the thermos, took the enamel basin and went to the yard.

Open the tap to collect water.

"Aunt Han, what's going on?"

Uncle Wang has a child. Wang Qian mentioned this when the fire broke out last time, but she only said halfway and stopped talking.

Later on he was too busy and had no time to chat about gossip with these people, so he didn't know much about the situation.

I just know that Uncle Wang has a child.

And it was still Uncle Wang’s fault.

Aunt Han was picking vegetables. Upon hearing this, she looked in the direction of the Chuihua Gate and whispered, "Old Wang has two sons and a daughter. The eldest was a businessman, but he went to Tianjin and has never been heard from again. This is the second son, Wang Huaian. When Wang Huaian reached the age of marriage, he had a girlfriend, but Old Wang refused to agree."

Aunt Wang next to her was also muttering there with disdain on her face.

"You just want to climb the ladder..."

Then he explained the general situation.

It turns out that Wang Huaian was also considered a young talent in school. He was handsome and knowledgeable.

At that time, Wang Huaian’s girlfriend’s family was poor.

At the same time, there was another girl who liked Wang Huaian, whose family was a minor official in the Republic of China.

In that era when marriages were arranged by parents and matchmakers.

You know how to choose without even thinking about it.

At least eighty percent of people know how to choose.

But Wang Huaian had been to college, so it was impossible for him to compromise.

But Old Wang was a bit ruthless. He told the girl's family directly that Wang Huaian would never marry her.

The matter was over.

Wang Huaian ran away from home in anger and never returned.

It has been more than ten years since I left.

And according to several people, the woman just now was not the girl from that year, nor was she the girl from an official family.

I guess she is the wife he married after going abroad.

After Wang Qingsong listened, he was thinking about it.

I feel that what Lao Wang did was really unkind.

But it’s not surprising when you think about it. Not to mention the city, the situation is the same even in the rural areas, or even worse.

Whoever gives the highest gift can marry a prettier wife, or even steal her away from her lover.

Most girls do not have the ability or courage to resist.

In fact, not to mention now, even in the future, Zhou Ying’s situation was the same at the end of the year.

Who doesn't want to find a good condition?

Just human nature.

"Hey. Wang Huaian is back. His family has a lot of good stuff! The melon seeds and peanuts are free, they are carried in kilograms."

"Hey! They have remittance vouchers, which can be exchanged for a lot of things!"

"Of course not! Last time we had a banquet in the courtyard, we used up a lot of meat!"

……

While I was thinking, everyone else was muttering there, their tone full of envy.

Wang Qingsong just stood there listening quietly.

Obviously, the other party must have invited us to dinner in the compound before.

These days, people have a hint of disgust in their hearts.

Those who have connections and the ability to get overseas remittance coupons are naturally among the envied people.

Because of the relationship with the Russian bear, earning foreign exchange is very important.

Now the exchange standards for overseas remittance coupons have been changed again.

每一百元人民币，供应物资粮食80斤、油4斤、糖5斤、肉3斤、布匹15尺，其他商品40元。

The 40 yuan for other commodities includes non-staple foods other than the above-mentioned commodities.

Melon seeds and peanuts are only a few cents per pound.

shook his head.

If Wang Huaian didn't come back and just sent the money, then Old Man Wang would make a public announcement and break off the relationship with Wang Huaian, and it wouldn't be a big problem.

Now that this person is back, this family will definitely be the first to get into trouble in the compound.

Without interrupting, he just fetched some water and came back.

Add hot water and wash your face.

I just finished taking a shower and was about to get a bathhouse ticket to take a bath. After all, I still have to pretend.

Just as I was about to leave, I saw a shadow at the door.

Look up.

I saw a middle-aged man in his forties walking over.

The man was wearing a suit, looking like a white-collar worker in Hong Kong. "Wang Qingsong, Mr. Wang?"

The other party came in and shouted.

Wang Qingsong looked at him, guessed who it was, and responded, "It's me!"

Wang Huaian stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Hello! My last name is Wang, Wang Huaian, son of Wang Youfu."

"Oh, hello! Wang Qingsong!"

Wang Qingsong naturally shook hands with the other party politely.

Wang Huaian withdrew his hand, took out a cigarette and handed it to him.

Wang Qingsong took it upon seeing this, and the other party was holding a kerosene lighter.

"Ugh~"

He lit it and handed it over.

Seeing this, Wang Qingsong hurriedly put the cigarette on top, covered it with his hand, and lit it.

Wang Huaian also lit one for himself.

He smiled and said, "I heard that you are a purchasing agent in the factory. You don't look very old, right? How come you started working in the factory so early?"

Wang Qingsong has grown a lot taller this year and looks like an adult.

But after all, he is not old enough, and he has a handsome face.

Looks very young.

Wang Qingsong heard this and said, "My family's situation is special, so I came out to work."

Wang Huaian had been here for a few days, so he naturally knew his situation, but he didn't want to explain it in detail.

Naturally, I won't ask any further questions or expose other people's scars.

Then we chatted for a while there.

Wang Qingsong also asked some questions.

The other party left China before liberation, continued his studies in the United States, and then worked in the United States for several years.

Now there is a regulation coming out from Country M that is not very friendly to Chinese people.

So the whole family came back.

I now have two children. My eldest son is 12 years old and my youngest daughter is 8 years old.

After returning, he refused the company's arrangement for him to live in the Overseas Chinese Building and lived with his father.

The house had just been renovated and we had moved in only a few days ago.

After chatting for a while, the other party smiled and said:

"My father is in the yard. Thank you for your care. When the house caught fire before, you all lent a helping hand. Here is ten dollars. Thank you for your help."

As he spoke, he pulled out a wallet from his pocket, took out a ten-yuan bill and handed it over.

Wang Qingsong looked at it but didn't take it. He smiled and said, "You're welcome. We're all neighbors. I can't just stand by and watch when someone is in trouble. As for the money, forget it."

"Take it! It's not much. This is just a small token of my appreciation."

"Really, that's not necessary. I'm not helping you for these reasons."

Wang Huaian looked at him in surprise and was surprised.

He returned the money to everyone in the entire compound, and basically they would refuse it and then accept it after being polite.

This is the first person who really doesn’t accept it.

After thinking for a while, he took out a food coupon that came with the overseas remittance voucher from his wallet.

It still has a face value of ten yuan.

"This is a food stamp. Please accept it. If you are polite, it means you think it is too little."

This gave Wang Qingsong a headache.

It would be wrong to refuse again.

After thinking about it, he took it and said, "Thank you, Brother Wang."

"Hey, that's right! We'll be neighbors from now on."

The other party smiled, and then said with a smile: "You just came back, so I won't delay your rest. I'll go back first."

"Then walk slowly!"

Send the other person to the door and watch him leave.

But I felt a little strange.

The other party was already a college student before liberation, and later went to the United States for further studies.

Logically speaking, he is already considered a high-level intellectual.

The other party went to the United States for further studies in the 1940s and 1950s.

College students in the 1940s and 1950s were not considered cheap, even in the United States.

In the past two years, Da Piaoliang has indeed been unfriendly to the Chinese there, and many of them have returned.

It's been in the newspaper before.

The Overseas Chinese Building, one of BJ's ten major projects, was built as a place for these overseas Chinese to return and live.

but……

The other party is a college student. Unless he comes back on his own initiative, he should not be driven back.

It was very difficult for Mr. Qian to return home.

Almost couldn't come back.

And most people don't want to live with the elderly.

Then he collected his thoughts and stopped thinking about it. He went back to the room, locked the door, and returned to Zhou Ying.

……

After coming back, he took a shower while Zhou Ying wasn't paying attention and went to bed.

Sleep through the night.

There was noise coming from outside.

Zhou Ying entered the house and said as she took off her coat, "You're back! Are you tired?"

Wang Qingsong sat up after hearing this, leaned against the head of the bed, and said dazedly: "Not really, I'm just a little sleepy, I'll come back and take a shower and then go to bed."

Hearing this, Zhou Ying was suspicious for a moment, and jokingly said: "You didn't raise another child outside, did you? You are so tired~~"

Wang Qingsong rolled his eyes when he heard this: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Then he smiled and said, "I'll let you check it out tonight, okay?"

This also caused Zhou Ying to roll her eyes: "You are so frivolous, I am just kidding you! Have you eaten? If not, I will go and make dinner."

"Okay!"

Seeing this, Zhou Ying walked outside.

Wang Qingsong got up and began to look up the information he needed.

……

The next morning, Zhou Ying went to deal with the affairs of the new company, while Wang Qingsong went to school.

At night, we returned to Hong Kong Island.

After a night's rest, he recovered, although he still felt a little uncomfortable.

It was time for lunch.

Du Wanting is on a flight tomorrow.

It was also because he requested it, mainly because he wanted the mainland to help him deal with the old banknotes, otherwise he would have flown to the United States long ago.

After all, Du Wanting still needs to bring the Bagua mirror, otherwise he will have to go to Hong Kong Island and take a plane.

He didn't really want to take a flight that lasted more than ten hours.

After coming back, he went straight to the company where Du Wanting worked.

Found Du Wanting directly.

"You're back! Are you done with your work?"

At this time, Du Wanting was busy there. When she saw him come in, she asked with a smile.

Wang Qingsong hummed, "I'm done. By the way, has Song Wenqing contacted me?"

Upon hearing this, Du Wanting picked up the Hong Kong dollars.

Nodding: "I've been looking for you. He called me yesterday and said they agreed. What's the matter?"

Wang Qingsong smiled and said, "Nothing, just some business matters, selling them a batch of goods."

Du Wanting didn't know what was going on yet, so she smiled and said, "Well, I'm going to the United States tomorrow, do you want to come with me?"

"I won't follow you. You go first and see if there are any problems over there. I should be there the day after tomorrow or the day after that."

After Wang Qingsong finished speaking, he looked at the time and said, "I came here for this matter. You go ahead and do your work. I'll go find Song Wenqing and take care of some things. When I'm done, I'll come over if I have time. By the way, have Pierre and the others left?"

"Well, they left a long time ago. Fine, just go do your thing. I've been very busy these past few days, so I have to finish everything before I can leave."

"Okay! I'll be leaving first then."

Don't ask about other things, just get the money first.

He said hello and left the company.
