Back to the golden age

A bowl of steaming rice, a small plate of fermented bean curd, sprinkled with sugar and a few drops of sesame oil on the fermented bean curd.

This is the most common breakfast for Shanghai people. In later generations, this kind of breakfast may not be seen in Shanghai families long ago, but now Song Yuanchao eats it very deliciously.

In memory, how many years have I not eaten such rice?He took a bite of the rice with chopsticks, and then used the tip of the chopsticks to pick up some fermented bean curd and put it in his mouth. The taste made Song Yuanchao's eyes wet. He sucked his nose hard and continued to eat.

Auntie of the Zhang family served the rice and watched Song Yuanchao eat for a while before going into the house. Song Yuanchao was whom she had grown up with, and the relationship between the two families was very good.

Now, Song Yuanchao is back, and the way Chipaolang devours it makes her want to cry. In order to avoid embarrassment, Auntie of the Zhang family took the well-behaved Xiao Pingping to avoid it.

A few minutes later, Song Yuanchao swept away the rice and fermented bean curd. He licked his lips with some insatiability, then picked up the bowls and chopsticks and went to the sink to wash up.

Just after washing, Zhang's mother came out of the house when she heard the sound. Seeing Song Yuanchao was washing the dishes, she complained to him and said, "Just leave it after eating." I went to the water and put it back in the cupboard belonging to Zhang's aunt's house.

"Yanchao, Nong sit down, Aniang has something to tell you." Aunt Zhang asked Song Yuanchao to sit down, and when he sat down, Aniang Zhang took out a key from her pocket.

"This is the key to Nong's house." Aunt Zhang said with a sigh: "This key was given to me by Nongmu's mother. Let me keep it for you. Now that Nong is finally back, it will be returned to the original owner." gone."

Looking at the key, Song Yuanchao's eyes turned slightly red.

The parents of Song Yuanchao who stayed in Shanghai after he went to the countryside passed away one after another. Song Yuanchao was not around when they left, and the relatives of the Song family and Wang family didn't care about it at all. As relatives, such an approach is really chilling.

Especially when Wang Sufen passed away, colleagues in the unit and old neighbors like Zhang's Auntie helped to arrange the funeral. Song Yuanchao didn't know about it until later.

In addition to this incident, there is another incident that Song Yuanchao in his previous life did not know until many years later, that is, the day when Aunt Zhang passed away and attended the memorial service.

When Wang Sufen passed away, just after the funeral, several relatives who had cut off contact with their family earlier suddenly reappeared, and their purpose was actually the house left by Song Yuanchao's parents.

According to these relatives, Song Guangzeng and his wife passed away, and Song Yuanchao went to the northwest to jump in and settle down. It is impossible to come back in this life.As relatives, they naturally have the right to dispose of this house. It is better to let them move in if it is empty.

Song Yuanchao had never seen such a brazen person. When Song Guangzeng and his wife were getting better, Song Guangzeng and Wang Sufen helped these relatives a lot.

Song Guangzeng and his wife helped a lot with Song Yuanchao's cousin's enrollment, as well as various family affairs such as aunts and uncles, regardless of pay, and even gained a lot of favors.

But who would have thought that once something happened to Song Guangzeng and his wife, the relatives who were very close to Song Yuanchao's family in the past hid farther than anyone else. Nao, all intending to take this house as their own.

In the end, Zhang's aunt couldn't stand the matter, so she asked several old colleagues from Song Guangzeng's school and the trade union chairman of Wang Sufen's unit to come forward to resolve it.

Although Song Guangzeng and his wife are gone, Song Yuanchao is still there. Even if Song Yuanchao is not in Shanghai, this house can only be Song Yuanchao's, no matter who it is, it is impossible for anyone to take it away.

In the previous life, Song Yuanchao didn't know about this matter when he just returned to Shanghai, especially the Zhang family aunt who was the person involved didn't mention a word to Song Yuanchao. and guilt.

"Nong's house was cleaned by Ala when she was free. What was it like when Nong's mother left? Now, Nong is finally back. Aid North Korea! I will return this key to Nong today, Nong. Parents will be very happy if they know that Nong will come back someday."

As he spoke, Auntie Zhang's tears fell again. Song Yuanchao took the key that Aunt Zhang gave him. Although it was just a light and ordinary door key, its weight made Song Yuanchao feel extremely happy. heavy.

Song Yuanchao got up, without saying anything, just knelt down and kowtowed three times to Auntie Zhang.

Aunt Zhang didn't expect Song Yuanchao to do this, she hurried to help but it was too late, after Song Yuanchao kowtowed, he raised his sleeve and wiped the wet corners of his eyes, and assured Aunt Zhang: "Auntie, you are so kind to me. Well, I, Song Yuanchao, will remember it for the rest of my life! I will definitely repay you!"

"Don't be like this, don't be like this... Yuan Chao Nong, get up, get up!"

Aunt Zhang was at a loss, Song Yuanchao stood up and helped Aunt Zhang to sit down.

After a while, the mood gradually calmed down.

Aunt Zhang asked Song Yuanchao what his plans were when he came back. Song Yuanchao thought about it and told Zhang Aniang that he had to solve the household registration problem first. The certificate for returning home had already been issued, and he would go to the police station tomorrow to apply for a household registration and move back. After the matter is implemented, let's talk about other things.

"Well, the household registration is a big deal, and we need to get it done as soon as possible." Aunt Zhang agreed, and then said, "When the household registration is completed, Aniang and Nong Jianguo's uncle will help Nong go to the Revolutionary Committee (neighborhood committee) to ask, Find a way to clear the way, and you have to solve the problem of work. People have to eat. If you don’t have a job, you won’t be stuck. After you solve the job, aid the DPRK! You have to pay attention to the important things in your life, you know.”

"Aniang, I know! Don't worry, Aniang." Song Yuanchao nodded vigorously.

It was like this in the previous life. It took Song Yuanchao half a month to solve the household registration problem, and then Zhang Jianguo asked someone to help Song Yuanchao find a temporary worker in the branch of the District Telephone Bureau.

This job was considered very good at the time. You must know that working in the telephone exchange, even if it is a temporary worker, I don’t know how many people are envious of it.

More importantly, from the end of 78 to 80, these two years were the climax of the return of educated youths to the city. Countless educated youths who returned from all over the country were very difficult to implement their jobs. , and it is not easy for Song Yuanchao to have such a job at this time.

In his previous life, Song Yuanchao worked as a temporary worker in the telephone bureau for five years. His job was mainly to climb the telephone poles to check and repair telephone lines. This position is also called "line service". Bureau two front-line positions.

In 84, Song Yuanchao had the opportunity to become a regular worker of the telephone bureau from a temporary worker. In 90, Song Yuanchao was promoted from the position of the line supervisor of the lot to the district bureau to be responsible for the line repair work.

Later, the telephone bureau was restructured and divided into two parts: fixed-line and mobile. Song Yuanchao stayed on the fixed-line until his retirement.Before retiring, Song Yuanchao was already a middle-level cadre of the District Telephone Bureau.

But now, Song Yuanchao doesn't want to go down this road again. Song Yuanchao, who has resurrected his life, has to do something that he really wants to do.
