Back to the golden age

Song Yuanchao didn't expect Li Daqi to be so fast. Li Daqi, who had just returned that day, came back in the evening and excitedly told Song Yuanchao that the place had been found.

Song Yuanchao asked where it was, and Li Daqi told him that it was at Gundilong where he lived, and that he could take Song Yuanchao to see it now if it was convenient.

What are you waiting for when Song Yuanchao hears it?Immediately, they put on their coats and followed Li Daqi out the door. The two arrived at Li Daqi's house after a while by bus. After entering the village in the city, they walked eastward for a while, and then turned two more corners to a residential house.

"This place?" Song Yuanchao looked around. This was clearly an ordinary family in a shanty town. Where was the suitable place Li Daqi mentioned?

"Don't worry, you'll find out later." Li Daqi smiled mysteriously at Song Yuanchao, stepped forward and knocked on the closed door a few times, and the door opened after a while. A man wearing a blue padded jacket looked about the same age as them Almost all the lads came out.

"Daqi!" The young man greeted Li Daqi with a smile.

"Sanmao, this is my buddy Song Yuanchao, the matter I told you earlier is his business."

"Hello, hello, Brother Song, right? Gu Jie is also an educated youth, just call me Sanmao just like Daqi."

"Hello." Song Yuanchao reached out to shake Gu Jie's hand, and then asked about finding the warehouse. Gu Jie closed the door first, and then called Song Yuanchao to follow him. The three left Gu Jie's house and walked in another direction After a short walk, they brought them to an alley after a few minutes.

Just as Song Yuanchao was frowning in doubt, Gu Jie continued to lead them around the wall and came to a low triangular building against the wall.

"My dad is in charge of this place, but he seldom comes here. Come and see if it's suitable here." Gu Jie took out a bunch of keys to find one, and opened an iron door that was closed. Going down the stairs, the inside is pitch black and nothing can be seen clearly.

Gu Jie stretched out his hand behind the door and pressed it. He should have turned on the light switch. The dim light below lit up. He walked ahead and called Song Yuanchao and Li Daqi to go down together. The three of them went down the stairs and arrived at a very empty space.

"This is an air-raid shelter, right?" Song Yuanchao went down and stood inside and looked around. They were clearly in the entrance hall of an air-raid shelter.

The area of ​​this hall is not small, nearly [-] square meters. There is a passage at both ends of the hall. The two passages lead to no one knows where. There is also an iron door closed outside the passage, and it is also locked.

"Yes, this is the civil air defense in our area." Gu Jie pointed around and said, "My dad said that it is connected to other civil air defense fortifications in the city, but now this place is basically abandoned, except for my dad. After half a year, no one comes here to take a look. How is it? Do you think this place is still suitable?"

Song Yuanchao was overjoyed, it was suitable!This place couldn't be more fitting!

The place is big, quiet, and more importantly, it is powered on, which is much better than the warehouse Song Yuanchao planned to find before.

"This place is nice. By the way, Gu Jie, how much would it cost to rent it?" Song Yuanchao walked around inside, becoming more and more satisfied the more he looked at it.

"My brother is talking about money or not. Daqi told me that Brother Song, you and him are close buddies, and I am also an educated youth. Anyway, this place is a waste if it is empty. If you want to use it, just use it, but let's talk first. Well, there is no way to give you long-term use."

"How long will it last?"

"Three or four months at most."

"Thank you brother." Song Yuanchao felt relieved, this time is enough.

Song Yuanchao took a closer look in the air-raid shelter and asked Gu Jie about the power supply and ventilation in the air-raid shelter. After getting a satisfactory answer, Song Yuanchao was in a very happy mood. He touched his pocket and stuffed more than half a pack of cigarettes into Gu Jie. Say thank you repeatedly.

Leaving the air-raid shelter, Gu Jie re-locked the outside door, and then handed over the key to Song Yuanchao.Song Yuanchao took over and sent Gu Jie home with Li Daqi first, and then they walked towards the other side of the village in the city.

"Thanks bro, this has helped me a lot."

"I've already said I'm a brother, so why don't I thank you." Seeing that Song Yuanchao's problem was solved, Li Daqi was very happy.

Patting Li Daqi on the shoulder, Song Yuanchao ordered: "Don't run around these few days, I will take you to do something, and call Zhang Bin, Wang Jianjun, and Gu Jie together."

"No problem." Li Daqi nodded in agreement, but she was still a little puzzled. This Song Yuanchao borrowed the air-raid shelter and said he wanted to do something. What exactly did he want to do?

Seeing Li Daqi's puzzled expression, Song Yuanchao laughed and told him it was a good thing, and he would know when the time came.

Early the next morning, while Song Yuanchao was still eating breakfast, there was a burst of shouting outside: "No. 23! Song Yuanchao's phone number on the 23rd! Song Yuanchao has a phone number on the 23rd!"

"Come here! Come right away!"

Song Yuanchao hurriedly went downstairs to answer, put the last bite of rice into his mouth, put on his clothes while chewing, and went downstairs.

He ran to the public telephone room outside the alley in one breath, and said to the aunt who was sitting inside watching the phone: "Auntie, I'm Song Yuanchao from the 23rd, just called me."

"Number 23 Song Yuanchao? Umm, yes, here you are, this is the number you just called." The aunt bowed her head and tore off a note and handed it to Song Yuanchao, with a series of phone numbers written on it.

After saying thank you, Song Yuanchao took the note, found an empty phone and dialed the number.

The penetration rate of telephones in this era is very low. Except for work units, ordinary people have very few telephones. Therefore, such public telephone rooms are usually set up in an area in residential streets. This kind of public telephone room consists of two to three The aunt or uncle looked at it, and there is an incoming line and several telephones for outside calls, which can be used for everyone to make calls here.

A phone call must be counted on time, 3 minutes is four cents, but answering the phone is free.If you call someone at home, the errand fee is five cents.

The current telephone is still the kind of pulse dial telephone. To dial a number, you need to dial the dial on the telephone with your fingers, which corresponds to dialing out numbers, so the term dialing comes from this.

Picking up the heavy microphone, Song Yuanchao dialed the number according to the number on the note, and answered the ring after two rings.

"Hi, I'm Song Yuanchao, who called me just now?" Song Yuanchao called into the phone.

There was a waiting voice on the phone, and soon a slightly changed but familiar voice came over: "Brother Song? It's me! I'm Jiang Dongliang, hahaha."

"Section Chief Jiang, hello, hello, have you arrived in Shanghai?"

"Yes, I just arrived. I am now..." Jiang Dongliang gave an address, and Song Yuanchao knew that it was near the western suburbs. Song Yuanchao told Jiang Dongliang an address on the phone and asked him to go there and talk to him. Jiang Dongliang readily agreed to meet on the phone, and Song Yuanchao hung up the phone after speaking.

He took out a dime and handed it to the aunt, and returned with the penny, stuffed the coin into his pocket, and Song Yuanchao squeezed his fist excitedly.

Jiang Dongliang came, which meant that his matter was basically completed. After leaving the public phone room, Song Yuanchao took a car to Li Daqi's house.

"Yianchao?" Opening the door, Li Daqi was a little surprised to see Song Yuanchao coming, he didn't expect Song Yuanchao to come so soon.

"Can you find a tricycle or cart?" Song Yuanchao didn't talk nonsense, and asked straightforwardly when they met.

"Yes, a family I know has a tricycle and usually pulls briquettes."

"That's all right, you can borrow it for me right away, and then find me at the intersection of the alleys to the north of yours." Song Yuanchao left without saying a word, Li Daqi didn't have time to ask Song Yuanchao why he wanted to borrow a car, and saw him running towards the north in a hurry up.

When he arrived at the intersection, Song Yuanchao had just stood there for a while when he heard a loud horn. He took a closer look and saw a Dadongfeng driving ahead. Jiang Dongliang poked his head out from the passenger cab and was smiling at Song Yuanchao. waving.

Dadongfeng stopped in front of Song Yuanchao, and Jiang Dongliang opened the door and jumped out of the car.

"Brother Song, there is something in the factory that has delayed us a bit, so you're not late, are you?"

"It's not too late." Song Yuanchao said with a smile, and glanced at the driver's cab: "Today is Section Chief Jiang and the driver? Comrade Wei didn't come with you?"

"There is nothing to do in Xiaowei's factory. By the way, everything is in the back. Go and have a look?"

"it is good!"

Song Yuanchao followed Jiang Dongliang to the back compartment, and the driver wearing gauze gloves had already helped them open the back compartment railing.

There are rolls of sleeves in the back compartment. These sleeves are neatly arranged in piles of one color, 30 rolls in a pile, and a total of 90 rolls in three colors.

Song Yuanchao climbed into the car and took a closer look, confirming that the tube was consistent with the sample he had seen before, and then smiled with satisfaction.

"The things are right, and the quantity is fine. Section Chief Jiang, did you bring your ticket?" Song Yuanchao jumped out of the car and patted the ashes in his hands.

"Bring it with you. I remember what Brother Song said." Jiang Dongliang smiled and took out a ticket from his pocket. Song Yuanchao took it and looked at it carefully. The ticket was indeed issued by their factory. The total amount, in addition to the billing date and stamped.

Song Yuanchao was completely relieved, and he readily took out the prepared money from his pocket: "Section Chief Jiang, please take some money."

"What do you order if you are all brothers? I can't believe it, brother Song?" Jiang Dongliang said with a laugh, but he said so, when he took the money, his fingers flew around and twirled the banknotes, and he took the money when he saw that the amount was correct. Put it in your pocket.
