Chapter 152 Reunion (asking for monthly ticket)
"You went to the Haidian GA Bureau?"
After lunch, Li Changhe and Shen Juncheng came downstairs.
There were too many people at home, all chatting, so the two of them simply went downstairs to get some quiet time and chat.
At the dinner table, Li Changhe's uncle had already said that Shen Juncheng had been transferred from the Security Department of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to the GA Bureau in the HD District.
Hearing Li Changhe's question, Shen Juncheng nodded.
"Yes, that's right. I think GA work is more suitable for me. It's much more interesting than staying in the Security Department."
"I've thought about what you said. If you want me to be completely like a saint, I don't think I can do it, but I can definitely resist most temptations."
Shen Juncheng said with a smile.
Li Changhe smiled and nodded: "It's okay, as long as we can resist most of it, we can discuss more when we encounter anything, I don't worry about the money."
"The only thing that is a sword hanging over your head is sex. Just don't let others use your sex appeal to control you."
Li Changhe could only give some advice in a tactful way.
"Don't worry, I can't say I'm not interested in women, but I can't win over every woman."
"By the way, have you been following the news recently?"
Shen Juncheng asked Li Changhe at this time.
"Huh? What?"
"In Yunnan Province, the educated youth are clamoring to come back. I heard that the higher-ups have already given in."
"Over there. Alas."
When Shen Juncheng said this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Although they were all educated youth who went to the countryside to work, the places where they went to work were different.
In some places, the culture is friendly and the resources are relatively abundant, so the lives of the educated youth are pretty good.
In some places, the work style was rough, the emperor was far away, the local people were unscrupulous, and the educated youth had a particularly hard time.
However, because Yunnan Province was a military corps, the life of the educated youth was very difficult.
"In short, the tone has been set, and the next step is probably that all the educated youth will return to the city, not only from Yunnan Province, but also from other places."
Shen Juncheng said in a low voice at this time.
Li Changhe nodded, then said thoughtfully: "The return of educated youth to the city will definitely cause great social pressure in the city."
"Especially the educated youth who cannot be assigned jobs will have nothing to do."
"When that happens, the pressure on you GAs will be very great."
"Pay attention to safety when you go on a mission."
"Another thing, if there is a chance, try to turn Men San'er and the others into joint defense team members. Even though they are not part of the staff, at least they have a connection and can serve as your spies."
Li Changhe reminded Shen Juncheng.
The joint defense system has existed for a long time. In the past, in order to fight against enemy spies, there were security guards in the village.
But it was destroyed again a few years ago.
"Hehehe, actually, I've thought about this as well, and I'm planning to mention it to our section chief."
"Guess what he said, he saw me leading a group of people to catch a thief, and then he thought of this, and that's how he came up with me!"
"But we still have to report this to the higher authorities. Even though the salary of the joint defense personnel is lower than that of us regular personnel, the total number of people in different places is still a considerable expense."
Shen Juncheng said with emotion.
Li Changhe nodded, there are smart people everywhere.
In fact, the name of joint defense personnel will be changed to auxiliary police in the future.
"Since you're going to GA, you should read more newspapers and pay more attention to national affairs. If Men San'er and the others are used well, it will be good for you too."
"The only thing is to keep an eye on them and don't let them deceive their superiors and subordinates."
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Don't let them make money under your name and become arrogant. If they do, you will be blamed even if you didn't participate."
Li Changhe still gave Shen Juncheng some instructions.
Shen Juncheng nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have an insider watching them."
"Well, let's go upstairs. I think they should have finished drinking."
When Li Changhe and Shen Juncheng went upstairs, as expected, their father, father-in-law, and uncle were drunk again.
It’s still the same old rule, there are three rooms upstairs and downstairs, one in each room.
After making the arrangements, Li Changhe picked up some things and prepared to go take a look at the Siheyuan.
During the Chinese New Year, his eldest sister and her family returned to the Northeast, and Zhang Shiqi had to come and take a look.
Unexpectedly, after Li Changhe arrived, there was no one in the yard and Zhang Shiqi was not at home.
Eh?
Where did the old man go on New Year's Day?
Li Changhe waited for a while, but no one was home. He went into the house and saw that the stove was not lit and was cold.
Seeing this, Li Changhe guessed that the old man had gone out.
Just based on his interaction with Qi Gong that day, we knew that this old man had a wide circle of friends.
Li Changhe didn't wait any longer. He hung the things in the kitchen and then rode away on his bike.
When we got home, my uncle Shen Zhongyun had already woken up, and Shen Juncheng had taken him home on his bicycle.
At the same time, at the busy exit of Beijing Railway Station, Shen Yuchuan and his family slowly walked out of the station carrying large and small bags.
"After more than ten years, I'm finally back."
“Yuchuan!”
At this moment, a shout came from not far away, and then a man in his forties in green military uniform strode over.
"The house is full!"
Shen Yuchuan and Liu Mantang hugged each other tightly.
"Come on, I'll take you to where you live first!"
Liu Mantang said enthusiastically at this time.
"Brother Mantang, is our old house back?"
Shen Yuchuan's wife asked expectantly at this time.
An embarrassed look appeared on Liu Mantang's face at this moment, and then he shook his head gently.
"No, there are several families living in your old house now, but they are not formally rented out. The government is clearing them out, and they will be returned to you in due time."
"We have arranged a temporary place for you to live. It's pretty good, and it's a building. You can live there first."
"When your old house is vacated, you can move back."
The Shen family has a house in the capital, otherwise they cannot be defined as a wealthy family.
It's just that their house is not a big house, it's just an old house in a small courtyard. But no matter what, it's the old house of their Shen family, with a legal property certificate, and it doesn't meet the standard of rented housing.
The government did not reclaim this old house at the time, nor would it be renovated, so it is actually still the Shen family's house, but now, someone lives in it.
The reason is very simple. A few years ago, many families, such as Shen Yuchuan, were relocated and their houses became empty.
Then some families, for example, those with many children, or those who came from rural areas to work in the city but were not allocated housing, or those who were married and felt that their homes were too crowded, took advantage of the chaos of that era and occupied some empty houses.
In those years, management was not strict and no one cared when these houses were occupied. After all, the owners were not around and no one caused trouble, so many people just lived there.
And now it has become very difficult to deal with it. Although they do not have the paperwork, some of them have lived there for seven or eight years or even nearly ten years.
If you ask them to leave now, many families will naturally not leave.
Even many of them are now cadres.
What a mess!
"Forget it, it's good enough to have a place to live first, and we can think about the other things later!"
"Yes, let's settle down first. Now that you are all back, let's take it slow."
"Come on, get in the car"
Liu Mantang came here in a jeep. He didn't have a driver, he drove the car himself.
After helping Shen Yuchuan and his family put their belongings in the back, Liu Mantang got in the car and started the engine.
"Yuchuan, speaking of which, your brother-in-law and his friends came to inquire about you a few days ago, but you didn't let me tell you, so I didn't tell you either."
After starting the car, Liu Mantang drove away while speaking to Shen Yuchuan.
Shen Yuchuan shook his head: "I was originally thinking of rushing back before New Year's Eve to give them a surprise."
"I never expected that the train would be delayed on the way, and by the time I got back, the first day of the Chinese New Year had already passed."
"It's okay. One or two days won't be a big deal. Just settle down tonight and go there early tomorrow morning. It will be the second day of the Chinese New Year."
Liu Mantang said with a smile. "Thank you for your hard work, Mantang. You are so troublesome to pick us up on the first night of the New Year."
"What's the big deal? You know I'm alone. I don't have a wife or children, and I don't have parents either. If it wasn't for my eldest brother blocking that bullet for me, I would have died long ago!"
"You've suffered so much over the years, and I didn't help you much. Now that you're back, it's nothing for me to pick you up."
"What's the big deal? We had no choice in the environment back then."
"You said you've been in Beijing for the past few years, so you haven't found another one?"
Liu Mantang was not unmarried. He was married in the past, but he went to the battlefield later. Before he left, his wife got pregnant at home, but he didn't know about it.
When I came back, I found out that my wife and child were both gone due to difficult childbirth.
Since then, he has been alone and has never been found again.
"No, the organization has arranged it, but I just can't accept it. You see, we are soldiers, surrounded by gunfire and rain of bullets every day, how can we have so much time to spend with our wives?"
"I might as well not look for it. It's convenient."
"Of course, there are benefits. If you look at it for a few days, I will have to go south because of me, the first one to be chosen."
Liu Mantang said proudly at this time.
Shen Yuchuan's expression changed slightly when he heard this.
"You mean the South has decided to fight?"
"Almost. It's time to start mobilizing troops."
"You don't know how arrogant those Annan people were. Not only did they provoke us, they also dared to split their troops into three groups, one group went into Laos and the other group went to Cambodia."
"It has to be said that after fighting the Americans for so many years, the Annanese have some fighting power. They have already taken Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia."
"They should have the support of the Sulian people behind them"
Shen Yuchuan said softly.
"Okay, Yuchuan, it's a pity that you switched to administration back then."
Liu Mantang shook his head and said.
Shen Yuchuan smiled and said, "There are too many talented people in our army. We don't need me."
"Besides, I have to leave a descendant for our Shen family!"
"Yes, leave a message behind!"
Liu Mantang nodded after hearing what Shen Yuchuan said.
"Damn it, if I can come back safely from the south this time, I'm going to start a family and leave a descendant for my Liu family."
"That's right, don't worry, I've seen that this time, I'm sure you'll be able to return safely!"
Shen Yuchuan said to Liu Mantang seriously.
Soon, the car drove into a large courtyard and stopped in front of a small red building.
"Come on, Yuchuan, your house is on the second floor."
Carrying the things, Liu Mantang sent Shen Yuchuan and his family to the second floor. He went downstairs, started the car and left.
At home, looking at the simple but well-equipped house, Shen Yuchuan said with a smile: "It's late at night, let's go to bed quickly."
"Early tomorrow morning, let's go to your aunt's house first, and then call them to help us clean up!"
Afterwards, Shen Yuchuan and his family took a rest.
The next day, early in the morning, Li Changhe got up early and was washing up in the bathroom when he heard the sound of a horn below.
"Who the hell drove a car in here so early in the morning?"
Li Changhe took a look through the small window, then complained slightly in his heart.
Damn, this must be someone using the bus for personal purposes!
All the people living in their housing estate are teachers from Beijing Institute of Technology, and few of them are qualified to ride in the car.
That’s not right. The car seems to be parked downstairs of their building.
"dong dong dong"
"dong dong dong"
Just then, the door of the house was smashed.
"Auntie!"
"Aunt, open the door"
There was a clear shout from outside the door.
Zhu Lin heard the noise and came out.
"Changhe, someone is knocking on the door."
"I heard someone calling for Auntie. Could it be that Qingyu and the others are here?"
Li Changhe walked to the door in some surprise.
But that shouldn’t be the case, Shen Qingyu and the others just arrived yesterday.
Li Changhe opened the door curiously. Standing at the door were a girl of about fifteen or sixteen, and a boy of about ten.
"Who are you looking for?"
Li Changhe looked at the two strange children and asked curiously.
"Cousin Changhe?"
"It's me, Shen Qingning"
The girl said to Li Changhe anxiously at this time.
"Cousin Changhe?"
"Shen Qingning?"
At this moment, the long-forgotten memories in Li Changhe's mind were suddenly turned up.
Fuck!
"Qingning, quickly get Li Changhe to come down and get the things."
At this time, someone downstairs in the corridor started shouting at the top of his voice.
At the same time, in the master bedroom, Shen Yuxiu opened her eyes.
"Lao Li, why do I hear Yuchuan's voice shouting?"
"You must have heard it wrong. We must have been talking about Yuchuan last night. You must be dreaming."
Li Lishan answered somewhat confusedly.
He drank a little too much yesterday at noon, and now he's still feeling a little dizzy.
"Also a possibility!"
boom!
At this moment, the door of their bedroom was pushed open.
Li Changhe said to Shen Yuxiu excitedly: "Mom! Mom, get up quickly."
"My second uncle, my second uncle and his family are back!"
"what?"
At this time, Li Lishan, who was originally unconscious, also sat up suddenly.
"Is it true that your second uncle and his family are back?"
"It's just downstairs. I'll go down and help first. You guys hurry up."
Li Changhe said excitedly at this time.
"I said, it sounded like Yuchuan's voice to me, but you insisted that I heard it wrong."
As Shen Yuxiu spoke, her throat began to tear up.
Yesterday I told Shen Zhongyun that there was no news about my brother.
As a result, today, someone fell from the sky and arrived at my doorstep.
"Don't cry yet, put on your clothes and go see."
Li Lishan said anxiously at this time.
At this time, Li Changhe had already come downstairs and was looking at a man standing in front of the car.
Compared to the young second uncle in his memory, he looked much older, but still looked as heroic as ever.
"Second Uncle"
Li Changhe looked at his second uncle, walked forward, and hugged Shen Yuchuan tightly.
