My girlfriend is from 1949

To avoid worrying her parents, Lin Wan only mentioned her work as a journalist in her letters.

It even included a photo of him wearing his press pass while on duty.

Shanghai is a financial center and is relatively safe.

Moreover, it's a relatively prestigious job as a journalist, so my family isn't too worried.

Even so, Lin Moqing still secretly used her connections and spent ten small yellow croakers to ask someone to take care of her.

After all, she's a girl, and I'm always worried about her working far away in Shanghai.

Lin Wan lowered her head and glanced at the yellow military uniform she was wearing.

This outfit is currently the most common.

On the street, both soldiers and police officers wear this uniform.

Therefore, walking on the street, one is not conspicuous and avoids attracting attention.

I originally planned to wear Western clothes, but things are different in Beiping now, and there are no restrictions on what ordinary people wear.

As long as the body is there, that's enough.

Of course, anyone who dares to wear a dragon robe or a kimono on the street will definitely incur public wrath.

However, considering the need to keep a low profile, I still chose military uniform.

Lin Wan remained calm in the face of the questioning.

On the way back, I had already thought about the questions my family would ask.

After careful consideration, I had already thought of how to deal with all kinds of problems.

"Mom, I'm not a reporter anymore."

After the liberation of Shanghai, he joined the propaganda department.

Because of his overseas study experience, high academic qualifications, and fluency in four languages.

Therefore, my superiors value me highly, and my position is not low.

This time when I went home, they even assigned me a bodyguard.

Some of these words were lies told to comfort family members and avoid causing them worry.

But the guards, that's for sure.

Given Lin Wan's importance, providing her with bodyguards and a special car is entirely reasonable and compliant, and was decided through a formal meeting and discussion at the Central Committee.

Not only are there bodyguards and special vehicles, but also guards in civilian clothes protecting the neighborhood.

At the entrance of the alley, there was also a black sedan parked.

The car windows were covered by curtains, but four soldiers were sitting inside.

Submachine guns and heavy machine guns were also installed behind the seats and in the trunk to deal with emergencies.

If there really is a sabotage team from enemy agents, the soldiers of the guard regiment can immediately switch to submachine guns.

Next door to Lin Wan's house lived an elderly couple and their five "unemployed" sons.

They also did their utmost to protect her family.

However, when speaking to family members, it is sufficient to explain that it was a bodyguard.

On the contrary, we don't really need private cars.

The Lin family owned a textile factory in Beiping (Beijing) and were quite wealthy; they even owned a Buick sedan.

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

The old man, Lin Moqing, is currently in the process of retiring, and the factory is basically managed by his eldest son, Lin Yuzhou.

So I spend my days at home tending the lawn and playing with the birds, and life is quite leisurely.

Moreover, after liberation, security was better guaranteed.

Even if national policies don't change, as long as Lin Wan is around, the family won't be affected in twenty years.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"

Li Suqin smiled lovingly, feeling gratified that her daughter had become successful.

He grabbed his daughter's hand and led her to the outer hall.

Judging by the time, the old man should have already wiped away the tear stains on his face and wouldn't embarrass himself in front of his daughter.

When we entered the outer hall, the old man was already sitting in a chair, playing with a little boy.

When she saw her daughter come in, she only glanced at her before going back to playing with the boy.

Li Suqin introduced with a smile: "That's your nephew, he's five years old now."

The boy's name is Lin Yanzhi, and he is the eldest brother's son, that is, her nephew.

Seeing the boy's chubby face, Lin Wan couldn't help but pinch his plump cheeks.

She laughed and said, "Xiao Zhi has grown so tall! Quickly call her auntie!"

Xiao Zhi was startled when a stranger pinched his cheek, and he quickly retreated behind his grandfather.

When I left, the little guy was not even two years old.

Even though we were very close back then, more than three years have passed, and I no longer remember her.

Lin Wan couldn't help but laugh when she saw her nephew's timid appearance.

He turned and waved: "Xiao Zhang, just put the things on the ground."

"Yes!" Guard Xiao Zhang responded, placing the two large travel bags on the ground.

Li Suqin hurriedly instructed, "Wang Ma, quickly take Comrade Xiao Zhang to get some water and rest."

Xiao Zhang stood upright and did not react at all.

Only after Lin Wan nodded did he say firmly, "Yes, sir! Please call me if you need anything!"

Then, led by Wang Ma, they went to get some water and rest.

After all, it's not practical to stay at home and always follow the leader around.

Lin Wan opened her travel bag and took out a uniquely shaped, brightly colored toy gun.

The finger pulled the trigger, immediately producing a series of sounds like gunfire.

The gun body also flashed with multicolored lights.

It is absolutely lethal to children.

Even back in the 80s, owning a toy gun like this made you the coolest kid among your friends.

He was the object of everyone's flattery, just so they could pull the trigger once, making the sound of firing a gun.

In 2026, this toy gun would be considered an outdated toy with no technological sophistication, and would be obsolete.

But in 1949, it was an absolute weapon to attract children.

The mere sight of its multicolored light immediately caught Xiao Zhi's attention.

A pair of bright, dark eyes were glued to the toy gun!

Taking the opportunity, Lin Wan prompted, "Want to play? If you want to play, call your aunt!"

Li Suqin chimed in, "Xiao Zhi, call her Auntie. Auntie used to love you the most."

Although Xiao Zhi was still very wary of this stranger.

But I simply couldn't resist the temptation of the toy gun.

She called out timidly, "Auntie~ Auntie~".

Lin Wan was overjoyed by the call and affectionately patted her little nephew's head.

They handed him the toy gun.

Xiao Zhi held the toy gun and danced with excitement the moment he pressed the trigger.

This groundbreaking toy immediately captured my nephew's heart.

Looking at her nephew's happy expression, Lin Wan couldn't help but sigh, "He really understands kids; the gifts he chooses are always perfect!"

This toy gun was taken when the two of them were shopping together at the mall.

Chen Huai'an knew she was choosing a gift for her nephew, so he picked it out specially.

The items in the two large travel bags were all purchased by Chen Huai'an.

It's a gift I've prepared for my future father-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law.

Actually, there was a Transformer and a remote-controlled car in the travel bag.

If one toy gun isn't enough, he'll bring out a second one to entice his nephew.

But now a toy gun has captured my nephew's heart, so there's no need to rush to bring out the rest.

In a couple of days, I'll take out another one, which will make my nephew even closer to me.

Then she took out a silk scarf and said with a smile, "Mom, this is a gift I bought for you."

This silk scarf cost Chen Huai'an over three thousand yuan!

Although it's a style typically worn by older women, it looks rather dated in modern fashion.

But in 1949, that was definitely the most fashionable style.

Li Suqin gently stroked the silk scarf and immediately fell in love with it.

Its unique style will definitely lead the way in fashion.

After all, the Lin family is a wealthy and influential family, so it's normal for them to pursue fashion.

More importantly, this was a gift from my daughter.

Lin Moqing sat to the side, sipping his tea with a calm and serene expression.

Although she appeared nonchalant, she kept glancing at the teapot out of the corner of her eye while skimming the foam off the teacup with the lid.

Seeing that his wife had a silk scarf, he subconsciously glanced at the travel bag on the ground.

His eyes revealed anticipation.

However, when his daughter and wife turned around, he immediately sat up straight and put on an indifferent expression.

It perfectly showcases the demeanor and authority of the head of the household!

Li Suqin glanced at the old man and took the initiative to change the subject: "Wanwan, what gift did you bring your dad?"

When I asked that question, I was actually a little unsure of myself.

After all, father and daughter are alike; both are stubborn.

I'm afraid the father and daughter are still arguing, neither willing to back down.

If I don't bring a gift, the old man will definitely be really angry!

Fortunately, the daughter immediately took out a beautiful box from her bag.

Lin Wan smiled and said, "Dad, this is tea I bought for you."

Even the exquisite plastic packaging already highlights its value in this era.

The packaging also features the four large characters "Lu'an Melon Seed Tea".

Of course, the contents of this gift box of tea are not very valuable.

After all, in the modern world, good Lu'an Melon Seed tea is priceless and hard to find.

Chen Huai'an earned a considerable amount of money by auctioning tea.

How can something bought outside be as good as something you make yourself?

So after buying it home, I poured out the tea leaves and replaced them with my own good tea leaves.

Coupled with exquisite modern packaging, its appearance is absolutely high-end!

Lin Moqing was also attracted by the exquisite packaging, and she was so happy that she could hardly suppress a smile.

He deliberately grunted in agreement to maintain his stern fatherly demeanor.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Wan took out two bottles of Wuliangye and two bottles of Moutai.

He smiled and said, "Dad, this is a famous wine, please try it."

Although I know my father likes to have a small drink with his meals.

I just don't know what kind of wine he likes to drink.

So I bought two bottles of Wuliangye and two bottles of Moutai.

If he likes it, we can buy it from Hyundai later and have it mailed home.

She receives a salary, and her position is quite high.

Not only did they receive a salary in 1949, but they also received a corresponding monthly subsidy in modern RMB.

After all, she needs money in the modern world too.

It's only right to work and get paid.

With my salary, buying a few bottles of wine is no problem at all in modern times.

Finally, they took out two packs of cigarettes that had no labels.

However, the packaging was exquisite and looked very valuable.

These two cigarettes are no ordinary cigarettes.

It was during a conversation between Chen Huai'an and Zhou Liming that Chen Huai'an "accidentally let slip" that he wanted to give his future father-in-law cigarettes, but he didn't know which brand to choose that wouldn't harm his health.

The next day, Zhou Liming delivered a box containing 50 strips.

The cigarette holder is particularly long, and it has a faint herbal flavor when smoked.

Moreover, it was stated that this was not the only box; there would be quotas delivered every year thereafter.

When Chen Huai'an looked at the long cigarette holder, the corners of his lips couldn't help but turn up.

I finally got to smoke the special edition!

This cigarette is no ordinary product; it was specially developed by gathering top cigarette-making masters in the capital.

It contains various medicinal herbs, which not only do not harm the body, but also promote health.

Without a certain level of qualification, you're simply not eligible.

Given Chen Huai'an's current importance, he demands two cases of specially supplied cigarettes every month, which he then distributes to his father and father-in-law with complete justification.

During the Republic of China era, influenced by that atmosphere, he was able to make selfless contributions.

After returning to the modern era, all the benefits are still there.

Even if you try to uphold your principles and refuse, some department head might just pocket the money.

So from then on, he was responsible for providing two packs of cigarettes each for his biological father and father-in-law every month.

This can be considered as catering to their preferences.

When the anchorage restrictions are lifted in the future, and we are able to come to the capital.

There's also the future father-in-law, who might like certain things, right?

"You've only been working for a few years, and your salary isn't much, yet you've already learned to be extravagant and wasteful, and you don't know how to save at all!"

Lin Moqing pouted and complained with dissatisfaction.

Even Li Suqin, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but shake her head when she heard this, and almost stomped on the old man's foot.

My family owns a textile factory, and we've made quite a bit of money over the years.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to afford a luxury Buick sedan.

In the past, I spent a lot of money to make my children happy.

Now that my daughter has come back from shopping, I don't know what to say and I've started talking nonsense.

Is it appropriate for an old man to say something like "thrift"?

Lin Wan immediately replied with a smile, "I'm a well-known reporter in Shanghai, and I earn two hundred yuan a month!"

With that income, they are definitely in the high-income bracket.

Lin Moqing pursed her lips, looking completely unconcerned.

In the old man's eyes, the low salary was indeed a problem.

Of course, this was also because I was so happy and felt sorry for my daughter!

He picked up the bottle and looked at it, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes at the exquisite packaging.

Such exquisite printing and packaging is definitely not something that can be achieved domestically.

Could it have been printed by Americans?

Even the cigarette packaging is exquisite.

Okay, tear open a package, take out a cigarette and examine it carefully.

"Oh, so you've even done some verbal sparring before!"

Lin Moqing smiled, but when she saw that the filter tip took up half of the space, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

He took out a match, lit it, and took a deep breath.

Instantly, a look of shock appeared on his face.

It has a unique flavor, completely different from imported cigarettes I've smoked before.

It has a rich and refreshing taste; it's definitely a top-quality imported product!

This is a special edition, how could it not taste good?

With the gift presented, the old man found a way to save face, and his attitude became more amiable.

They would also ask with concern how life was going in Shanghai.

Li Suqin held her daughter's hand and asked, "Wanwan, you're 23 years old this year. Do you have a boyfriend in Shanghai? If so, bring him home to meet your parents."

For a moment, Lin Moqing paused in his teacup.

All fathers are the same; their biggest worry is that their precious daughter will one day be eaten by a pig.

He didn't say a word, but his ears were already perked up.

"I..." Lin Wan's pretty face flushed red, and the handsome face she had spent half a year with flashed through her mind.

Her red lips parted slightly, and she was about to nod shyly and tell her parents about that man.

Kuan~!

Suddenly, the door was pushed open forcefully, and a man and a woman quickly walked in from behind the screen wall.
