After waking up from a good sleep, Jianshu felt refreshed.
Just as I put on the backpack and was about to go out, there was a knock on the door.
When I opened the door, I saw an old lady standing there. She was about fifty years old. Although there were some patches on her clothes, they were very clean. Her hair was neatly combed. It was obvious that she was a very particular person.
Jian Shu asked doubtfully, "Auntie, may I ask who you are?"
The old lady smiled kindly and said, "You must be Comrade Jian's daughter, right? I'm your next-door neighbor. You are so pretty."
Jian Shu stood at the door: "Hello, Auntie, I'm Jian Shu, and Jian Yucheng is my father. Do you know my father?"
Could it be someone he knew? But Jianshu didn't recognize him.
The old lady pointed to the courtyard on the left and said, "I live next door. Your father used to come over occasionally to clean, but we basically never met. I thought there was no one at home.
Until one day, my little grandson was naughty and fell into the well. No one was home. Fortunately, your father heard it and rescued him. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous. "
Jian Shu had never thought that such a thing existed, and Jian Yucheng had never mentioned it. Perhaps in his opinion, this was what should be done and there was no need to say it specifically.
The old lady asked again, "Are you guys moving in? Where's Comrade Jian? I can't see him. Did he go out for something?"
There was nothing to hide about Jian Yucheng's situation. He would be living here for a long time, so he couldn't hide it. "Auntie, my father died, and I moved here alone. It will be convenient for me to go to work later."
When the old lady heard this, her eyes widened and she asked in disbelief, "What did you say? Comrade Jian died? He was only forty years old, how could he be gone?"
Jian Shu's nose felt a little sour: "Dad didn't come back after the mission last month, but for him, dying on the battlefield was a worthy death.
Even if he had to do it again, even if he knew the outcome, he would still make the same choice."
As a soldier, I am always ready to sacrifice my life for my country and my people.
From the day they joined the army, they dedicated their lives to the motherland and the people, disregarding life and death.
The victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was paved with the lives of martyrs. Although the war is over now, frictions between countries continue, and the domestic situation seems to have calmed down.
But there is no such thing as a peaceful world, it’s just that someone is carrying the burden for you.
Although the old lady agreed with Jian Shu's words, she couldn't help but shed tears: "Comrade Jian, you are doing this for the country and the people. Now that your father is gone, you are the only one left.
If you have any problems in the future, just come to me. Your father sacrificed his life for the country, leaving you as his daughter. We will all take care of you and won't let your father worry."
"I see. Thank you, Auntie. My father will definitely feel at ease knowing that you are here."
The old lady gradually calmed down. She looked at the basket on Jianshu's back and said, "My last name is Chen. You can just call me Aunt Chen. Are you going out with the basket on your back?"
Jian Shu replied, "Yes, Aunt Chen. We just moved here, and there are many things we haven't prepared yet. I need to go to the department store."
The old lady nodded and said, "Wait a minute, I'll call my son back and ask him to move your things for you."
Jian Shu quickly waved his hand and said, "No need, Aunt Chen, the things I need to buy are not heavy, so don't bother me. I can go by myself."
Jianshu bought things just to cover up the things in the space, but he didn't want people to know how much he bought, so that it would be difficult to smuggle them out of the space later.
Having just met, Aunt Chen didn't force it: "Okay, if you need anything, just tell me. Don't be polite to me. Your father is my family's savior, don't be embarrassed."
Jianshu could tell that Aunt Chen was speaking from the heart, and did not reject her kindness.
"I understand. If there is anything, I will not be polite to you."
Aunt Chen said goodbye to Jian Shu: "Then I won't waste your time and will go back first. Come to my house when you have time."
Jian Shu: "Okay, then take your time. I'll visit you again after you've settled down."
Aunt Chen said happily: "Okay, Auntie will wait for you at home."
After Aunt Chen left, Jianshu also went out and came to the department store.
The department store is a five-story building, which stands out among the surrounding one- or two-story buildings.
Almost all the items needed for daily life are included here: enamel pots, thermoses, washbasins, cloths, bicycles, radios, cakes, malted milk, basically everything you can think of is here.
Jianshu first went to the daily necessities counter, where a young woman was sitting behind the counter.
Jian Shu walked up and said, "Hello, comrade. Please give me a tube of toothpaste, a toothbrush, two towels, two enamel pots (one large and one small), two enamel basins with lids, an enamel washbasin, a lunch box, and a three-print iron pot."
The toothpaste and toothbrush at home need to be replenished after they are used up. The towels have been used for a long time and I want to replace them with new ones. Although there are some in the space, they are different from those of this era, so I dare not take them out.
There is only one washbasin at home, and Jianshu couldn't accept washing his face and feet in the same basin, so he bought another one.
The salesperson was a little surprised that Jianshu wanted so many things and asked in confusion, "Comrade, are you getting married? Why are you buying so many things?"
Jianshu replied: "I'm going to work here in a couple of days. I just moved here today and I'm missing a lot of things at home, so I came here to buy some."
When the salesperson heard Jianshu say that he was going to work here, he hurriedly asked, "Comrade, you want to work here? What do you sell?"
Jian Shu shook his head and said, "I'm an accountant, not a salesperson."
The salesperson was not disappointed: "Comrade, you are an accountant. You are really good. You must be a good student."
