Chapter 363 Era - There is a time-traveling girl next door 14
The old man is usually very arrogant, but at times like this you have to pretend you didn't see anything, otherwise he will be embarrassed and angry.
Zhao Jinhua called out to everyone, "It's already daylight. Come on, let's walk around the square and take a closer look."
Li Dandan followed Zhao Jinhua and said, "It's just dawn now, and the photographers should be here soon.
Let’s take a photo together under the great man’s portrait later.”
Yu Xiuzhi followed suit: "I also think that location is great. Not only can I take pictures of the Tiananmen Gate, but I can also take pictures of great figures."
Zhao Jinhua nodded repeatedly: "Not only do we need to take a group photo, we also need to take a few more photos. It's a rare trip.
It’s a pity that your brother is not here, otherwise we could take a family photo here.”
The old lady is missing her children.
Li Xu’s military service was short and he didn’t have any home leave, so he didn’t know if he would have time to come back this year.
Yu Xiuzhi took Zhao Jinhua's hand and said, "Mom, don't worry.
Before we set off, he called you and told you to walk around and see more when you arrive in Kyoto. His main task now is training.
Don't worry about that brat all the time."
Li Huaiyuan also agreed: "Yes, mother, our son is in the army and contributing to the country, we have to support him.
If you miss him in the future, ask him to write to us more often.
Even if he doesn't have time to come back this time, it will definitely be his turn next time."
Li Dandan said: "What's the big deal about my brother not having a vacation? Our whole family can go to his unit to see him and take a family photo there. It would be nice too.
Ask grandpa to take a look at the current army.
Maybe when we get there, my brother will be able to find a partner in the army, and we’ll have one more person in our family portrait.”
Zhao Jinhua burst into laughter at Li Dandan's words: "That's great! I'll soon have a great-grandson."
Li Tiezhu had calmed down by now, and when he heard the lively conversation of the people in front of him, he came over.
At the edge of the square, Zhao Jinhua saw people taking pictures of tourists with cameras. She really spent a lot of money today.
Each member of the Li family took a separate photo, then the old couple took one, the young couple took one, and then the whole family took one together.
After getting the list to pick up the photos, I headed straight to the Great Wall.
At this time, the Great Wall had not yet been repaired to its later state, and many parts had collapsed.
However, it does look quite charming. After walking for a whole day, the whole family was exhausted.
However, the Li family was still interested in touring Kyoto, and they woke up the next day feeling like brave men again.
This is what it’s like to be a special forces soldier traveling.
I walked around the royal gardens in the city and took some photos.
I also visited shopping malls and second-hand markets in Kyoto.
In the mall, new clothes were bought for the whole family, even Li Xu who was in the army was not left out.
I also bought a lot of wool. There is no place to buy it in my hometown, so I plan to take it back and knit sweaters for my family.
After leaving the mall, Li Tiezhu, with his strong social skills, got news about the second-hand market, and the whole family excitedly went to the second-hand market together.
This period of time was when the second-hand market was transitioning to state-owned enterprises. If you were lucky, you could find a lot of good things there.
Zhao Jinhua found an 80% new table clock and a 90% new sewing machine here.
The original owners of these things were probably wealthy people.
This was a critical period of public-private partnership, and many capitalists and wealthy people with small assets had fled.
I just dealt with all the things in the house at once.
However, they searched for a long time in the market but couldn't find a bicycle in good condition, otherwise the old couple would have planned to buy one for Li Dandan today.
This will save the child from having to do anything inconvenient every time he leaves school.
You know, bicycles are one of the most sought-after items in this era. As long as a bicycle appears in the second-hand market, it will be bought immediately. It is normal not to find one in good condition.
After leaving the second-hand market, Zhao Jinhua and Li Tiezhu asked Li Huaiyuan and Yu Xiuzhi to wait aside. The old couple called Li Dandan to a place with open space everywhere and whispered instructions to Li Dandan.
"Dandan, come and take a look when you have time. If you come across a good bicycle, buy one.
We hid two hundred dollars in your pillow for your emergency use.
I was planning to tell you about it when we left, but since I came across such a great place today, I decided to tell you in advance so you can just keep it in mind."
Li Dandan didn't expect that the old couple had left her money privately.
Li Dandan was already very surprised because she had already given him a hundred yuan.
This hundred dollars is a lot of money in this day and age.
A hospital stay, even if the injury is a broken arm or leg, will cost at most thirty yuan to treat.
The old couple gave a total of three hundred yuan, including the money they gave openly and secretly.
What kind of family is this!
Aren't you worried that she'll squander all the money?
Are the Li family really poor peasants?
Could it be that Li Tiezhu is a landlord pretending to be a poor boy to join the army?
After spending a long time together, Zhao Jinhua could see what Li Dandan was thinking at a glance.
"What are you thinking, little girl? We are just poor peasants who can't even afford to eat.
It was just that the day before your grandfather decided to join the army, he met two Japanese devils on the road who had just killed a rich family and robbed their money.
Your grandfather killed the two Japanese devils and took back all the gold bars and jewelry they had stolen and hid them.
Our family has never shown off this money over the years and lives like everyone else in the village.
If your grandfather hadn't been worried about you, he wouldn't have taken out a single gold bar to exchange for money this time.
I'll leave some for you and spend some at home. The rest will be inconspicuous at home."
Li Tiezhu also spoke up, "Dan, besides your grandparents, even your parents were kept in the dark about this.
Your grandma and I are worried that you are a child who doesn't know what's going on. Now that we've told you everything, we'll explain it all to you today.
We are still in the early days of the founding of the country. Throughout history, policies have always been unstable during this period.
Leaders' policies change with social changes, and they slowly grope their way to the right path.
The most taboo thing at this time is to be different from others.
You are an educated person, and you will definitely have more channels to get news when you go to university.
But I discovered in the past few years that the current policies are changing extremely quickly.
We should just stay the same as before and keep in line with the rest of the village.
When the situation is unclear, the best option is to go with the flow.
I told you about the situation at home because I was afraid that you didn't know the details of your family and that you might feel wronged outside and not be able to eat or drink."
