My girlfriend is from 1949

Waaaaah!

The sound of train whistles echoed at Beiping Railway Station as trains entered and departed in an orderly fashion.

Countless people came to Beijing, and countless others left.

The station was filled with scenes of joy and sorrow as people bid farewell.

"Comrade Lin Wan, the car is waiting for us outside."

A sharp-looking man in his thirties, dressed in a yellow military uniform, smiled and gave directions.

A bodyguard was also present beside him.

She was carrying two large bags, filled with changes of clothes and gifts to take home.

Although there are only two people, this is only on the surface.

The purpose was simply to avoid attracting attention.

Among the passersby, there were also many elite soldiers from the guard regiment.

They simply changed into ordinary clothes and blended into the crowd.

Lin Wan's safety is related to the fate of the nation, so naturally it cannot be taken lightly.

Even from the high vantage point, sharpshooters had already been deployed to monitor the surrounding area.

Next to each of the sharpshooters was a walkie-talkie.

Every now and then, orders from superiors and inquiries about the situation would come through.

A drone was hovering 300 meters above the sky.

The equipment brought from the modern world had already been delivered to Beiping.

Meanwhile, the Beiping Public Security Bureau also used various advanced equipment from the modern world to uncover a large number of enemy agents.

Beiping had been liberated for nine months and was a strategically important area surrounding the capital.

The crackdown on spies was unprecedented in scale!

After several months of effort, the enemy agents have been basically eliminated.

Those armed sabotage teams were completely destroyed.

There are no longer any security issues in Beiping (Beijing).

It is even safer than the modern world.

After all, Beijing is a modern city with a large number of tourists and foreigners every day.

How many spies were hidden among them remains unknown.

In September 1949, apart from consulates and foreign factories, there were virtually no foreigners to be seen in Beiping.

Even if there are still hidden enemy agents, they no longer pose a threat.

We no longer have the capability to carry out sabotage or assassination.

After all, carrying out an assassination is not something that a single agent can easily accomplish.

It also requires the cooperation of others, such as providing intelligence.

Even if there are still spies in Beiping nowadays, they are at most hiding in the shadows, secretly collecting intelligence.

As for the others, I dare not do them.

Moreover, the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (BIS) suffered a severe blow in Beiping, making it all the more precious to its unexposed spies.

You can find the latest updated chapters of this book by searching "Deqi Novel Network" on Bing!

It will not be used lightly unless absolutely necessary.

Even if it were necessary, assassination would not be arranged.

Just wait, and one day it will take effect!

Lin Wan walked through a special passage and got into the waiting car.

Two jeeps drove away from the train station, one after the other.

Looking out the car window at the familiar streets and the pedestrians coming and going, I felt as if I were in another world.

After three years away, I'm finally home!

When Lin Wan left, she was already mentally prepared to make a sacrifice.

So she never imagined what it would be like to come back one day.

What struck her as the most different were the pedestrians on the street, the vendors doing business, and the rickshaw pullers.

Every face was filled with hope for a new life.

This is a world apart from before, when people were listless and no one could see any color in their eyes.

Seeing the bustling streets and the children's happy faces, my eyes were filled with joy.

The jeep did not head towards the center, but instead drove towards a familiar alley.

The Central Committee issued the highest directive to send Comrade Lin Wan home first, so that he could reunite with his family!

Let's meet again tomorrow.

This arrangement is truly thoughtful.

After all, he had been away from home for several years and was on a dangerous mission, venturing deep into enemy territory; the danger was unimaginable.

Moreover, due to the nature of my work, I will leave again soon even if I return.

Therefore, reunions with family members are especially precious.

As the jeep entered the familiar alley, it immediately attracted a lot of attention.

After liberation, most of the courtyards were nationalized and allocated to people for residence.

We're all neighbors, so we know each other very well.

If a stranger enters the alley, they will be discovered immediately.

So the idea that the aunties in Chaoyang District can help solve cases is not entirely true!

However, because of Lin Wan and Chen Huai'an, the flapping of these two butterfly wings...

Modern Beiping is different from its historical counterpart.

For example, the streets are bustling with activity and there are many people doing business.

Furthermore, the government encourages individuals to set up stalls and do small businesses.

However, they weren't just setting up stalls randomly; there were designated areas.

At the entrance of each alley, there is an area where stalls can be set up.

Lin Wan only needed one glance to know that this was an example of learning from modern practices to encourage individual entrepreneurship and reduce employment pressure.

Employment was also a major problem in 1949.

Encouraging entrepreneurship can not only solve employment problems and ensure people have food to eat, but also increase tax revenue.

When ordinary people have income and food to eat, society naturally becomes stable.

Judging from the government's attitude, it seems they have learned from the experience of reform and opening up.

Since we encourage individual entrepreneurship, we will not prohibit individuals from doing business in a few years.

Naturally, they wouldn't be accused of speculation and profiteering.

Of course, this charge remains valid for those unscrupulous capitalists.

The courtyards in the hutongs were mostly nationalized and distributed to the poor.

However, a very small number still belong to individuals.

Several of these apartments are occupied by patriotic businessmen or entrepreneurs.

These people had no criminal record and did not flee, so the new government did not make things difficult for them.

Even the houses where they lived have been preserved.

This is true not only in this alley, but everywhere else as well.

The current governance methods have undergone tremendous changes compared to those in the past.

While learning from the experience of reform and opening up, we are also striving to avoid its drawbacks.

It will be very clean for at least the next thirty years!

If two cars were to drive into the alley at this moment, it wouldn't be strange.

After all, entrepreneurs live there, and wealthy people often drive over to visit.

But the two jeeps in front of us were completely different.

"Look, it's a military sign!"

"Which leader is here to inspect our alley?"

"Go ask around at the neighborhood committee!"

"They're not enemy agents, why are you asking such detailed questions?"

"Don't you know who's back?"

"Then I'll go ask at the neighborhood committee!"

"..."

In an instant, the elderly men and women transformed into enthusiastic citizens of Chaoyang District, all going to inquire about the situation.

However, this time, the inquiry was purely for the sake of satisfying my gossip.

After all, which spy would dare to flaunt military license plates everywhere?

Squeak~.

The jeep came to a smooth stop outside a house.

The ancient gate exudes a sense of vicissitude, and the plaque hanging there, though the characters are somewhat blurred, is wiped clean.

Lin Wan stepped out of the car, walked up the weathered steps, and gently touched the old gate.

Her big eyes were filled with emotion and reminiscence.

I grew up here and am so familiar with everything here.

At the same time, his eyes were filled with complexity.

That's because, from the moment they left, they never thought they would come back alive.

Her years of infiltration behind enemy lines gave her a sense of having walked a tightrope between life and death.

That feeling was like being reborn!

"Phew!"

Lin Wan took a deep breath and gently knocked on the door.

Bang Bang Bang ~!

Soon, the door was pushed open, and a woman around fifty years old, dressed as a maid, opened it.

When he saw the young woman at the door, his face showed surprise and joy.

"Second Miss, you're back!"

The joy in his eyes was definitely not feigned.

When Lin Wan saw the woman who opened the door, a look of surprise appeared on her pretty face.

"Wang Ma, what are you doing here...?!"

His voice betrayed surprise, as if he hadn't expected the woman to be at home.

The woman referred to as Wang Ma was an elderly woman in the family.

As far back as I can remember, Wang Ma has been working at home.

However, according to our understanding, many outdated practices were abolished after the liberation of Beiping, including those related to maids.

Therefore, Lin Wan thought that the servants in the house had all been dismissed and that they should start a new life.

I never expected that the old woman who watched me grow up would still be at home.

Wang Ma was also very happy and hurriedly explained with a smile: "We had already been laid off, and Xiao Cui and the others had gone to work in the factory."

Unfortunately, I'm too old and too slow at learning new things.

Fortunately, two months ago, they allowed us to come back, but it became an employment relationship.

No longer a servant, but an equal employment relationship.

The new government also organized us to study and assigned us employers.

Now we call them "postpartum nannies."

Wang Ma's face was full of joy, clearly happy to be back in this home.

After all, he's not young anymore, and he can't read a single word.

It would be really difficult for her to go to the factory to work and relearn the skills.

Going back to my old employer's house and continuing to do laundry and cooking is not a bad option.

Lin Wan nodded slightly, a look of realization on her face.

The very term "maternity nurse" reveals that it adopts a modern model.

Even 76 years later, we can still have equal relationships with our domestic helpers, who can do our laundry and cook for us. Why can't we do the same now?

And since we also earn our living through hard work, aren't we also considered working people?

However, the emergence of the term "maternity nurse" indicates that the central government has learned from decades of experience and is exploring a new path.

At least the methods that can create jobs in later generations are being promoted.

After all, our Party is pragmatic. Since it works in the modern world, can solve employment problems, and can ensure that people have food to eat, why can't it be implemented?

In just forty years, a country has undergone earth-shattering changes.

This has already proven the feasibility of reform and opening up, and the fact that it has made the country prosperous and strong.

I imagine they would be amazed to see the tremendous changes that have taken place in the country in just forty years.

Seeing the subtle changes, Lin Wan finally felt relieved.

The new China is different now!

The things you're worried about will definitely not happen again!

And this extra nearly twenty years will allow the country to reach a new level!

at the same time

Wang Ma also realized what was happening and slapped her thigh.

She turned and ran into the courtyard, excitedly shouting, "Master! Madam, the second young lady is back! The second young lady is back!"

The sound echoed in the yard and immediately reached the kitchen.

A dignified-looking woman was tidying up clothes in her bedroom.

Hearing the excited shouts, he was taken aback at first, then his face lit up with surprise.

Without even folding the clothes properly, he hurriedly ran outside.

Staggering, he almost tripped over the threshold.

When she stumbled out and saw the familiar face standing in the yard.

Tears of emotion streamed down his wrinkled face.

"Wanwan~, you're finally home!"

Lin Wan's eyes welled up with tears when she saw her mother.

Having been away from home for several years, the people I feel most sorry for are my parents.

Unfortunately, loyalty to one's country and filial piety have always been difficult to reconcile. For the sake of national righteousness, one can only make a painful choice.

She is already fortunate to be able to go home.

Many soldiers never returned home the moment they left.

"Mom~!"

The mother and daughter hugged each other, tears of joy streaming down their faces.

"Let Mom take a look!" Li Suqin grabbed her daughter's shoulders with both hands and carefully examined her from head to toe.

After several years apart, my daughter has lost the naivety she once had.

Moreover, because of his stay in modern times, his temperament has also undergone subtle changes.

Overall, I'm still very relieved that my daughter returned home safely.

Just as the mother and daughter were sizing each other up, a man wearing a black mandarin jacket and with slightly graying hair walked over quickly.

When he saw the familiar faces in the courtyard, his face lit up with excitement.

He raised his hand, as if he wanted to call out.

However, he then seemed to remember something, lowered his hand, and put his face down with a serious expression.

With his hands behind his back, he walked to a distance of five meters.

The voice, tinged with annoyance, said, "Hmph, so you actually know how to come back?!"

His voice sounded angry, like that of a strict father.

Lin Wan hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully greeted, "Father, your daughter is back."

The cry of "My daughter is back!" almost shattered the old father's dignified aura.

My eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.

Lin Moqing hurriedly turned around, raised her head, and said impatiently, "You're back, so what are you doing blocking the door? That's incredibly rude!"

After saying that, he turned around and strode into the outer hall.

Li Suqin watched the old man's retreating figure and couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle.

No one knew better than her how much the old man in the family missed his daughter.

Although every time my daughter writes back, she always utters a few words of disrespect and accusations of being unfilial.

But every time, he would use the excuse that "your eyesight is bad" to take the letter and read it.

Knowing that her daughter was alright, she was finally relieved.

She's the type with a sharp tongue but a soft heart!

My eyes were red just now, but everyone saw it.

Why did you turn around and leave so hastily? Wasn't it because you were afraid of being seen crying and losing face?

Moreover, they went towards the outer hall.

Isn't it just waiting for my daughter to come over?

"Your dad has a sharp tongue, don't mind him!" Li Suqin comforted her, only to notice that a soldier in a yellow military uniform was standing next to her daughter.

He was also carrying two large modern handbags.

And only now did I realize that my daughter was also wearing a yellow military uniform.

A question arose in my mind: Wasn't he a reporter in Shanghai? How did he end up in the army?
