Chapter 343 The social butterfly of the Republic of China, the wedding gift brought back from Xiangjiang (all ordered with additional updates)
After hearing the voice, Fang Yan reacted immediately.
Looking around, he saw Tang Shengming standing in the main hall.
At the moment, he was wearing a white shirt, gray trousers, and a pair of leather shoes.
Compared with before departure, I feel more like a superior leader now.
Paired with a meticulously combed back hair.
With a smile on his face, you can’t tell the desolation that he couldn’t even pay for his medical expenses before.
"Mr. Tang!"
"When did you come back?"
Fang Yan greeted him and then hurried forward to greet him.
Tang Shengming smiled at the dialect and said:
"The plane arrived this morning. As soon as it arrived, I went to report the situation to the leader. I reported the situation all morning, and I felt hungry."
"No, I don't have anyone at home, so I just thought it was close to your place, so I came over for lunch."
Fang Yan smiled and shook his head. The old man seemed to be in a good mood and could even joke with himself.
"You are joking, please sit down."
Food has been placed on the dining table for a long time, and the old man didn't inform him before he came. The only food at home is the food from the Xiehe Canteen, and a few leftover dishes that Fang Yan left last night to celebrate Fuzi's passing.
At this time, it has been served to everyone in the family.
"If you don't mind, I'll always welcome you here." Fang Yan said to Tang Shengming.
The old man is worthy of being called a social butterfly of the Republic of China, and the things he does always make people feel good.
When he came back to report work to the leader this time, they would definitely let him have lunch, but he didn't eat it.
Instead, he ran here without stopping.
The worldly aspect is definitely full of people.
Tang Shengming smiled and said to Fang Yan:
"Haha, I knew I was right to come here. Look how rich this big table is."
There was a big pot of food in the cafeteria, and there were a few leftovers. It was not like Tang Shengming had never eaten fine rice bran before, so he could boast about it.
When Fang Yan saw what Mr. Tang said, he invited him to use his chopsticks.
Tang Shengming didn't show any pretense, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
While eating, I chatted with Fang Yan, mainly asking about Fang Yan and Zhu Lin's wedding at the beginning of the month.
When I heard the dialect, the entire courtyard of my house was filled with people.
Tang Shengming smiled and said that it was the same when he got married when he was young.
As he spoke, he showed a look of reminiscence.
Thinking that the old man's wife had passed away, Fang Yan quickly changed the subject and asked Old Tang:
"Didn't I remember you said before that it would take more than three months to come back?"
Fang Yan remembered clearly that at that time, the little brother had just returned from the Northeast, and Mr. Tang had just left that day. When he left, he met him outside Xiehe, and he asked for a prescription to take away.
Hearing the dialect question, Mr. Tang jumped out of his memories.
He was in a daze for a moment, and then revealed to the dialect:
"Well, speaking of this, it's a long story. To put it simply, I didn't know until I went there this time that the Independent Commission Against Corruption was established in Xiangjiang in 1972 and has been arresting suspected criminals in recent years. Most of the corrupt people are Hong Kong policemen.”
"The four detectives all ran away."
“I went there this time and found that many of my acquaintances had already entered.”
“I haven’t done anything in the past two months, all I’ve been doing is renewing my connections.”
“I recently heard that the ICAC over there is trying to settle old scores again, and their police officers and their families are organizing a protest procession.”
"I have inside information that a conflict may break out in a few days."
"I was worried about a riot, and some of the business there was involved, so I made an emergency withdrawal to avoid causing disaster to Chiyu and arresting my old man."
When Fang Yan heard this, he suddenly realized.
He recalled the historical conflict between the police and integrity in Hong Kong on October 28, 1977.
There was a confrontation between the two sides, which led to the collapse of the police force.
Xiangjiang is in chaos everywhere.
The situation was so serious that the Governor once considered asking the Gui Lao troops to come forward, but was flatly rejected later. Under such circumstances, the then Hong Kong Governor thought about it again and again, and finally decided to take a step back to gain access to the world.
Therefore, in addition to those who have been interrogated, are wanted and are overseas, all persons suspected of corruption but not prosecuted before January 1, 1977 were amnesty.
Old Tang was indeed a man who could serve as a double agent back then. He had a keen sense of politics and would immediately walk away if something was wrong.
His prediction was quite accurate. It was already October 23rd, and there were less than five days left before the conflict between police and integrity.
After finishing speaking at this time, Mr. Tang slapped his forehead and said:
"Hey, I'm telling you what this is for, what is the Independent Commission Against Corruption, you probably don't understand..."
"Anyway, a simple sentence... Something might happen over there next, so I'll come back early, old man."
There was no explanation in dialect, so he nodded with a smile and responded:
"Understood."
Old Tang took two more bites of food and nodded repeatedly while eating.
He even said that the food in the Mainland was more to his liking, and the food in Xiangjiang almost made him feel like he was having a taste of food in his mouth. Only then did Fang Yan remember that Old Tang was from Hunan, and yesterday’s dish happened to contain Hunan cuisine.
If not that he was the lucky star of the Republic of China, he would have encountered such a small probability event.
Fang Yan just wanted to celebrate yesterday, so he accidentally cooked a few Hunan dishes.
The result seems to have been laid here for a long time.
After eating for a while, Old Tang finally burped and put down his chopsticks.
He wiped his mouth with satisfaction to show that he was full.
Zhu Lin immediately brought him a cup of tea.
Old Tang took a sip and showed a satisfied smile.
Only then did I remember that there was something important that I hadn’t said yet:
"By the way, I'm coming back this time and bringing you a wedding gift."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
After that, he said to the middle-aged driver who came with him:
"Xiao Zheng, go get it."
After a while, the driver Xiao Zheng came over with a big box.
Old Tang asked him to put it on the coffee table of Fang Yan's house.
After seeing the Japanese logo on the box clearly, Fang Yan asked:
"This is...a microwave oven?"
"Do you know him?" Tang Shengming also looked at Fang Yan in surprise.
Dialect said:
"I saw it in a magazine. It is said that it was produced in the United States in 1947."
This thing is not available in China yet, and it was only introduced in Shanghai in 1980.
For many years they have been domestic high-end electrical appliances.
At this time, only some laboratories in the country, or families with special status, had this stuff.
This thing is rarer than a color TV.
Of course, dialect recognition is because it was so common in previous lives.
Old Tang did not doubt his presence, nodded and said:
"Yes, this is a small brand, and it is very popular in Xiangjiang. At that time, I saw that my family had been using it to give me hot medicine, and I thought it was quite useful, so I brought one to you two. Come back as a wedding gift”
"Please remember this." Fang Yan responded with a smile.
I looked at the brand carefully and saw that it was a Toshiba from my childhood.
Old Tang waved his hand:
"How can I forget? You are my old man's noble person! I only started to change my fortune when I met you."
People with full social attributes are different.
He will always remember what he promised.
At this time, Xiao Zheng had already helped to unpack the box, and everyone else in the family was watching.
Fang Yan remembered what Mr. Tang had just said about drinking Chinese medicine in Xiangjiang, so he asked:
"Speaking of which, you were treating rheumatism there. How are you doing now?"
Old Tang turned around and said to Fang Yan:
"My son hired a family doctor for me. He gave me the prescriptions you prescribed every day, and he also gave me medicine and baths. When I left, he even checked me and said that I was recovering very well now. .”
Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand and handed it to Fang Yan:
"How about you check it for me?"
"Okay." Fang Yan asked Mr. Tang to sit down, and then began to examine him.
After some inspection, Fang Yan confirmed:
"Well, I'm really recovering well."
Old Tang asked cheerfully:
"Hahaha, is it okay to live another ten years?"
Dialect said:
"If you practice health-preserving skills again, you can do it for twenty years."
"Health-preserving power?" Old Tang asked with some confusion.
Fang Yan nodded and said:
"Well, Yi Jin Jing, Wu Qin Xi, Ba Duan Jin, Liu Zi Jue Qigong, Tai Chi health-preserving technique, Qi movement method, Twelve Duan Jin, Yellow Emperor's Dance, Mawangdui Guidance Technique, these are all health-preserving techniques."< br>
Old Tang became interested now and asked:
"Will you?"
Dialect responded to:
"Yes, how about I teach you?"
Tang Shengming said in surprise:
"That's good, please teach me!"
After his wife passed away, Old Tang felt that he had no love left. Now after a trip to Xiangjiang, he found that the country still had many things for him to complete.
At this time, he changed his view on life. He still had to live a few more years and do more for the country.
At this moment, Xiao Zheng, who was working on the microwave oven, turned to Mr. Tang and said awkwardly:
"Commissioner Tang...the plug can't be plugged in."
PS: After finishing this chapter, I still owe you 5,000 words.
No more today, please be early tomorrow.
