Chapter 6 "Hello, hello, I'm looking for Aunt Hong, I'm Grandma Su..."



A few minutes later.

"Not here yet..."

"Okay, fine, when she gets back, please have her give me a call."

Okay, okay, that's it, thank you for your help.

Aunt Hong hung up the phone with a disappointed look on her face.

How could it not be here?

"You need to see Grandma Su urgently?"

"No, no..."

Aunt Hong is here to tip off the enemy.

Over there, Su Ruobai first went to the train station and deposited her belongings at the state-run storage facility.

Although it can be placed in a space, things should be done in a way that allows people to find fault with them.

It's better to have no mistakes.

...

Then, taking the family savings book, they went to the bank next to the hospital.

The passbook was hidden behind the door by the original owner's father, so it wasn't stolen.

The overall color of this passbook is somewhat orange, with quotes from a great man printed on it and the words "current savings passbook" written below.

Further down it says Haishi Branch.

The back cover features a summary of memories printed in red font.

On the left is a horizontal line with the handwritten name, Su Ruobai, on it, and on the right is the machine-printed account number.

There is a bank's seal below.

Further to the right are the deposit and withdrawal records.

There were a total of four deposit records.

Two hundred yuan each time, starting from February 1974, deposited on the 15th of each month.

Seeing that the bank hadn't opened yet, Su Ruobai lined up early.

She was in a hurry.

I withdrew eight hundred yuan.

There are still a few zero votes.

Su Ruobai directly smuggled 800 into the space.

He stuffed the small bills into his pocket.

At this time, withdrawals from other locations are not supported.

...

We arrived at the hospital.

The female doctor was already waiting there.

He seemed very anxious.

They paced back and forth.

Upon seeing Su Ruobai enter, his eyes lit up. He immediately went to greet her.

"Little sister, where have you been? I've been waiting for you!"

"My cousin is here. He needs to talk to me about something. Sister, have you raised the money yet?" Su Ruobai replied casually, then took off her shoes and leaned against the bed.

She had been busy all morning and was a little tired.

"Um, little sister, it's like this, I'm still short 100 yuan, and I really can't raise the rest."

"How about I use that watch as collateral? Take a good look at it, I just bought it this year, it cost a little over 300 yuan, it's very new. It's a Plum Blossom watch."

The female doctor was embarrassed and spoke hesitantly, first saying with her head down that she hadn't raised enough money.

He seemed unsure of himself.

He looked up when the topic turned to watches.

He looked very proud.

When she pawned the watch to Su Ruobai, it was a Shanghai product worth a little over 100 yuan, but it was actually a Swiss product worth over 300 yuan.

Sigh, if she had known she could buy a job, she would have bought a cheaper one this year.

Now I'm afraid to borrow money from anyone.

They were afraid that if word got out, someone would compete with them at a higher price.

Su Ruobai examined her watch closely.

The entire dial is about three centimeters in diameter.

The base color is slightly silvery-yellow, and the texture is very good.

The outer ring is made of white metal.

There were no scratches on the dial or the outer metal bezel. It's clear that the owner takes good care of it.

The dial design is simple and elegant.

Two thin, rectangular pillars side by side represent the twelve o'clock position, while the remaining whole numbers are represented by a single rectangular prism.

These are all silver.

Between these two thin, silver cuboid pillars that mark the hour.

There are also four small bumps.

Directly below the twelve o'clock position is a small plum blossom.

Below are two English letters.

The hands are all silver, the difference being that the hour hand is the thickest and shortest.

The minute hand is both thick and long.

The second hand was extremely thin, and it even wore a small red triangular hat on its head.

The hat was very pointed, with its two sides concave inwards.

The design is very beautiful.

There is a small plum blossom and a letter on the silver cuboid that represents six o'clock.

There is also a letter below.

The watch strap is made of silver metal in the same color as the dial.

It is exquisitely crafted and has a very good texture.

Unfortunately, Su Ruobai didn't understand watches.

Fortunately, the original owner had heard of the reputation of plum blossoms, so she nodded in agreement.

"Alright, alright, thank you, little sister, thank you. Let's go to the machine factory now." The woman saw that Su Ruobai finally nodded.

His tone relaxed for a moment.

A full-time employee of a mechanical vehicle!

Finally, it belongs to their family.

"Let's go, let's get the formalities done as soon as possible so we can both feel at ease." Su Ruobai rolled out of bed again.

My skin still hurts.

Fortunately, I have lived in the post-apocalyptic world for many years.

It's hard to say about other things.

Everyone has practiced patience quite well.

"Okay, okay, let's go." The woman followed happily. Oh dear, her precious youngest son finally didn't have to go to the countryside anymore.

After getting to a distance from the hospital entrance.

The woman waved to a young man hiding in the green belt.

The young man saw it and came over happily.

"Mom!" the young man said with a beaming smile, his voice filled with affection.

And they can be as obsequious as they want.

"You brat..." the woman said with a laugh, her eyes and brows also smiling.

"Let's go." The machine factory wasn't far from here, so the three of them walked there.

We arrived at the factory gate.

Su Ruobai asked the two to wait a moment.

Then he went to the security office.

"Uncle Hu, you're busy, I've brought some people to complete the handover procedures. Just wanted to let you know." As soon as Su Ruobai entered, she greeted a middle-aged man in military uniform.

This person was discharged from the same battalion as the original owner's father.

He retired from the military two years later than the original owner's father.

The two didn't have much interaction.

We could be considered comrades-in-arms, albeit in a lesser sense.
