How to Thrive in the ’60s

Gu Zonglin glanced at the sky outside, took out a kraft paper envelope from his arms, the inside was bulging, and stuffed it into Gu Shinian's hand.

"Here is the house deed of Xiaoyanglou, and the gift that Grandpa Yisan gave you, all of which have been collected."

Seeing that Gu Shinian wanted to refuse, Gu Zonglin waved his hand again and said, "I don't lack this little family background, you can just keep it at ease. Also, in a few days it will be the New Year's Eve, the Shenshi side is more strict, you If you have nothing to do, go back quickly."

Gu Shinian took the envelope and was silent for a while before asking, "Third grandpa... Are you the only one applying for the market?"

Gu Zonglin understood what Gu Shinian meant, sighed, and patted him on the shoulder, "Isn't it okay to be alone? It means that your grandfather is doing well now."

Gu Shinian nodded, put the envelope in his pocket, and asked Gu Zonglin again, "What is the origin of the person staring at you? You really don't need my help?"

"No, don't move the few Ronaldinhos because I don't want to force the other side to jump over the wall. With just a few people, I can't be trapped."

Gu Zonglin said, wrapping his clothes tightly, and walking out of the house, "The envelope I just gave you has my phone number in the capital, I will be able to go back almost after the year, remember to call me then, and take some time, I'll show you the people from the Gu family."

Gu Shinian responded.

The two walked to the corner of the yard, Gu Zonglin opened the tunnel entrance in front of Gu Shinian, and told him a few words, jumped into the tunnel, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

The sky is not yet white, but the night is not so dark.

Gu Shinian stood in the yard with Yun Chang in his arms, and his heart was in a trance. If it weren't for the bulging kraft paper envelopes in his pockets, he would have thought that he had a dream at night.

Turning his head to the side, he wrapped Yun Chang's soft little face in a scarf, and quickly left the yard with her in his arms.

At this moment, there are people who get up and do activities sporadically on the street, and Gu Shinian is not so conspicuous when he walks on the street.

Yun Chang woke up and found that he was already lying on the bed in the guest house, while Gu Shinian was sleeping soundly on the other bed.

A large envelope was placed on the cabinet between the two beds. It was bulging, and at a glance, it contained a lot of things.

Yun Chang took the envelope lightly, spread out the quilt, held it with both hands, and poured out a pile of colorful tickets, as well as money, and a piece of paper with a big red stamp on top.

He picked it up and saw that it was the real estate certificate of the Xiaoyang Building they went to the day before yesterday.

Yunshang secretly stunned, the third grandfather was really arrogant, and when he shot it, it was a bungalow in Shenshi.

In this era when the family squeezed into a small single room, this house is worth the old nose money.

He reached out and dialed the coupons on the quilt, and found that many of the coupons were stamped with special military stamps, and there were many coupons that could only be purchased in Shenshi, such as cloth tickets, wool tickets, cake tickets, and sugar tickets. There is also a radio purchase voucher.

The food stamps are all national food stamps, with a full weight of 50 catties.

At the bottom are ten light pink remittance coupons, each with a face value of ten yuan, for a total of one hundred yuan.

In addition to these coupons, there was a pile of money on the quilt, Yunshang counted it, and there were a total of 300 yuan.

Yunshang happily put the overseas remittance coupons aside, sorted out the remaining coupons, and stuffed them back into the envelope.

Two days ago, she could only lie outside the window of the Friendship Store, watching other people shopping inside. Now that she has these foreign exchange coupons, she can go in and take a good look.

When Yun Chang was happy enough alone, she realized that Gu Shinian had already opened her eyes and was looking at her softly.

"Second brother Gu, you're awake!" Yun Chang jumped off the bed and climbed onto Gu Shinian's bed with both hands and feet, "Second brother Gu, we'll go to the Friendship Store later!"

"Well, I bought all the tickets for Shenshi today, and went back on the evening train."

Yun Chang blinked, and suddenly approached Gu Shinian and said,

"Second brother Gu, you now have a small house in Shenshi, and I don't even have a single tile..."

"..."

Gu Shinian smiled, this was urging him to buy her a house quickly!

"Okay, I'll let someone find a house when I go back, and move out your registered permanent residence as soon as possible."

It was getting late, and the two didn't dare to waste time. After hurriedly washing up, they checked out of the room and went straight to the Friendship Store they had seen a few days ago.

When he arrived at the Friendship Store, Gu Shinian showed his overseas remittance voucher, and after the staff checked it, he took Yun Chang into the bright and clean hall.

The two walked around the first floor to the fourth floor, and finally spent 85 yuan to buy a bottle of imported red wine. The rest of the money was used to buy chocolate, which was used to find a source for the chocolate in the space.

After coming out of the Friendship Store, the two went straight to the department store again.

This time, they wandered from counter to counter until they used up all the tickets for Shen Shi given by Gu Zonglin, and the two of them left the department store in large and small bags.

Fortunately, as the New Year is approaching, most of the people who came out to buy New Year's goods were carrying large and small bags in their hands, and the two were not very conspicuous in the crowd.

After that, I found a remote place to put things into the space, and had dinner at the state-run hotel, and then hurried to the train station.

After staying in the car for three days, the two finally returned to Qinghe County on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Gu Shinian didn't go home, so he took Yun Chang to the ox cart and returned to the village before dark.

In the twilight, the yellow mud wall of the house was surrounded by a circle of sour jujube branches of about thirty centimeters. The branches were covered with sharp thorns. From a distance, it looked like a black hat was put on the wall, and it felt very safe. .

The gate of the yard was open, and the old man was holding a broom, sweeping the dust from the gate. Seeing the figures of Yun Chang and Gu Shinian, the old man quickly dropped the broom and greeted them.

"Master! I'm back!"

Yun Chang ran for a few steps, threw herself into the old man's arms, and coaxed people sweetly, "Master, I miss you and my grandma when I'm outside! Do you and my grandma miss me?"

"Hey~ I think about it, I think about it, your grandma keeps talking about you every day!"

The old man Le's mouth couldn't close, he took Yun Chang's hand, looked up and down carefully, and then turned back to say hello to Gu Shinian, "Shinian baby, hurry up, go ahead and warm up the house."

As soon as a few people entered the house, the old lady put Yun Chang on the head of the kang with her feet upside down, touched her little face, and then touched her little hands, and said with a smile, "Shangnan is going out with Comrade Gu Xiao to enjoy happiness again! Is it fun to apply for the market? ?"

"It's fun!" Yun Chang replied with a smile, "Grandma, are you and my grandfather at home?"

"Okay, it's all good! Your father and your second uncle have finished making the briquettes for you, and they're all in the backyard! We'll build the stove tomorrow, and my clothes won't freeze during the day."

The old lady nodded and agreed with what Yun Chang said, coaxing the old lady's wrinkled face into a chrysanthemum, pulling Yun Chang for a good kiss.

When the old man was talking, he first poured hot water for Yun Chang and Gu Shinian to drink, and then brought in a parcel from outside.

"Shangnan, the postman sent you a package yesterday, and it was sent from the provincial capital. Is it someone you know in the provincial capital?"

Gu Shinian put down the tea jar in his hand, helped the old man put the package on the kang head, and opened it with scissors.

I saw a letter on the top of the package, and below it were two pairs of shoes, one large and one small, a red and white plaid blouse, and a blue jacket that was ironed.

Yun Chang opened the envelope and saw the sender's address clearly, her face instantly burst into joy, "Second brother Gu, it's Lin Dani's letter!"
