Chapter 4 Settling in, Reunion
Gao Zhendong had dinner here, walked around for a while, and walked to the police station in the jurisdiction while asking questions. He had to cancel the household registration transfer certificate and move the household registration. Get it done quickly.
According to the "Household Registration Regulations" that came into effect in January 1958, he must do this within 3 days after arriving at the new place of household registration. The school's household registration has already been reported to the household registration authority to move out. Register, get the household registration transfer certificate, and cancel the household registration there. Once it expires and you don't move in, it will be very troublesome.
I inquired all the way to the police station. The police comrades in the police station are still wearing white Type 55 uniforms. The Type 58 uniforms designed last year will not be changed until the National Day this year. For Gao Zhendong, who was born in the military, he has a natural affinity for this kind of paramilitary organization.
Just when Gao Zhendong was looking for a police comrade to inquire about settling in, a surprise greeting suddenly came from beside him.
"Old platoon leader, is it really you?"
Listening to this somewhat familiar voice, Gao Zhendong tilted his head, his eyes focused, and he was happy.
"Haha, Big Pharaoh, why are you here?"
The man behind him walking quickly towards him is of medium height, with a stocky build and a round face, with a somewhat dark face because of I was a little red with excitement, and I walked a little bit on my feet. As I walked, I grinned happily, not to mention eight teeth, I'm afraid all eighteen teeth were exposed.
Gao Zhendong was extremely familiar with this person. The deputy platoon leader Wang Dezhu who was in his platoon back then was two years older than him.
I lost contact with them when I went to the rear because of a leg injury. I only knew that they were from the Forty-Nine City, but I never knew where they were. In these years, it was really that separation was forever, but I didn't expect to be here. Came across.
The two hugged each other excitedly, and slapped each other on the back with their fists. They couldn't say anything, they just slapped each other excitedly. With that strength, if they were in a weaker body, Yeah, I'm afraid I'll spit out all the blood in my lungs.
After filming like this for a while, the two separated, each calmed down their emotions, and chatted about their respective experiences over the years.
Wang Dezhu returned to the rear because of his injury. After he recovered from his injury, the war ended and he changed his career. After all, he was a deputy platoon leader. He had been injured on the battlefield and had meritorious service. He had been educated in junior high school before the war. When he changed jobs, he needed to work and his majors were semi-matched, so he returned to Sijiu City and became a police officer. He worked at the police station in this street. Don't look at it. It's a police station, but the police station in Beijing is different from other places. To put it simply, it's big. After working for so many years, I am now in charge of criminal investigation in the institute, and I have a family. I have a 4-year-old daughter, and my wife is pregnant with my second child.
Hearing about Gao Zhendong's current situation, Wang Dezhu was very happy: "The old platoon leader is still very good. He is both civil and military. This is a good place for the rolling mill. It's a big factory. It has a good reputation and good treatment. Let's Old brothers can be together often again, hahaha. I will take you to handle the household registration matter. After that, I will ask for a leave. You and I will go to my house to recognize each other. I know where you live and where I live. You don’t know yet. I’ll ask my wife to cook some food when I get home later, and we’ll have to eat a lot.”
"Sure, thank you sister-in-law first, haha"
Gao Zhendong suppressed his excitement and followed Wang Dezhu to apply for settlement. In these days, there is no need for previous lives. Everything is automated and done online. Now it is purely manual. It has to be done according to the style of my childhood. At the very least, I have to be granted a "hukou fairy" by the household registration police.
It's purely handmade, so the speed is naturally slow. Wang Dezhu was busy helping his colleagues to go through Gao Zhendong's settlement and related procedures. Gao Zhendong himself was also running back and forth.
While looking at Gao Zhendong’s settlement information, Xiao Hu, the household registration policeman, chatted with Wang Dezhu: “Captain Wang, your old comrade looks pretty and kind. I didn’t expect that I was still yours back then. "Platoon leader." The Japs have killed more people than any foreigner you have ever seen.”
"Then I've never seen a foreigner before I ran away." Wang Dezhu was a little overwhelmed by Xiao Hu's way of praising his throat, and couldn't help but let it slip: "Let's put it this way, He can perform first-class merit twice and second-class merit three times on the battlefield. You can figure it out for yourself."
Xiao Hu was really a little shocked now: "Oh, this is really amazing."
Wang Dezhu succeeded in showing off and said proudly: "You see, my old platoon leader has so many great things, let alone passing the exam now I've graduated from college, haha." He said, "Hurry up, hurry up, we still have something to do."
After the formalities were completed, Wang Dezhu took leave and took Gao Zhendong with him. I went to the subdistrict office and took care of the things that had to be handled by the subdistrict office. Even if Wang Dezhu, a knowledgeable old man from the ground, took him, after a while of tossing, it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon. Wang Dezhu took Gao Zhendong with him. Went to my home.
Wang Dezhu's home is also in South Tongluogu Lane, about one kilometer away from No. 95. It takes less than ten minutes to walk between the two places.
Just as he was about to enter the hospital, Gao Zhendong excused himself to drain the water and entered the toilet. When he looked back and saw that Wang Dezhu had not followed him, he reached into his satchel, took out two cans of milk powder and put them inside.
After getting his things ready, he walked out and followed Wang Dezhu into his house. There were two rooms for three people, which was quite spacious. Even if the second child was born in a few months, he would not worry about it for a short time. Not enough to live in.
As soon as Wang Dezhu entered the door, he shouted: "Yueqin, Yueqin, come out quickly."
"Hey, it's coming." A young man came out of the back room in response. The woman wore a red floral jacket, blue cloth trousers, and white-rimmed cotton shoes. Behind her was a chubby girl with short hair and a round face. She bit her fingers and timidly grabbed the woman's clothes with a hint of amusement. He looked at Gao Zhendong curiously.
"Old platoon leader, this is my wife, Wan Yueqin, and this is my daughter, Xiaomei, whose name is Wang Xinmei. Yueqin, this is the old platoon leader I often call, Gao Zhendong. He just graduated from college and was assigned to the Red Star Factory. , I live at No. 95 in the alley in front. "Xiaomei, my name is Uncle Gao."
Wan Yueqin was very enthusiastic after hearing this. After all, a comrade who had been through life and death in the tunnels could reunite, and it even sounded like they could keep in touch for a long time in the future. No matter what, it was something worth being happy for her lover.
"Please take a seat, please take a seat, oh, this is great, Platoon Commander Gao, I often hear my old Wang talking about you. He has always regretted that he could not go back to be with his comrades after getting off the line of fire. , I didn’t expect you not only met, but also went down the same alley.”
“Okay, sister-in-law.” There are not many people here who are polite, he said while pulling up a stool. "Sister-in-law, Big Laowang, don't call me platoon leader. Big Laowang is older than me. Just call me by my name. I will call you sister-in-law here. As for the title of Big Laowang, that's for a while. I won’t be able to change it now, haha.”
While talking, he started to take out things from his bag, “Big Lao Wang, sister-in-law, I came here in a hurry, I didn’t prepare anything, but I walked in empty-handed for the first time. That is absolutely impossible.”
Gao Zhendong put two cans of milk powder on the table, "I got this at school. It's just right. It fits your current situation, hehe."
Wan Yueqin was about to push, Finally, Wang Dezhu took a closer look and said, "Hey, milk powder, this is a good thing that you can't buy with money." Then he turned to look at his wife's belly and waved his hand: "Yueqin, keep it, we are one of our own, we won't see anyone outside. This thing is really just what I need. Old platoon leader, if you can still get it later, please keep it for me. I’ll thank you in advance.”
Wan Yueqin was also happy. I am currently pregnant. This thing is very good whether it is to replenish my body or be reserved for the newborn. Moreover, this thing is really not something you can buy if you want, and it doesn't matter if you have money.
However, because of Wang Dezhu's work, she will not accept other people's things casually, even such good things. Now when I hear Wang Dezhu’s words, it’s easy to say that I am one of my own people.
