I Had a Home In 1982

   Chapter 3 3. Hometown Forty Years Ago

   stamp with black image on red background.

   On the picture is a monkey with a confused face, with two columns of characters written vertically on the left: People's Post Office, Gengshen Year; on the right corner is written the words '1980, 8 points'.

  Zhuang Mancang asked, "What are you doing with some stamps?"

   "Change the ointment," Zhang Youxin said: "This is not an ordinary stamp, this is the monkey stamp issued the year before!"

   The monkey ticket in 1980?

  Wang Yi suddenly came to the spirit.

  Although he doesn’t play collecting, he has also heard rumors of 80-year-old monkey stamps. This stamp was very valuable in his own time. There is a saying that one ticket is one suite.

  Zhuang Mancang didn't know this information, he said: "Old Zhang, you are really good, are you going to use this stamp to exchange for other people's ointment?"

   "A stamp is eight cents, and you have one, two, three, four and five cents in your hand... a total of six stamps, forty-eight cents. How many yuan is this high-grade ointment that is exported to foreign countries to earn foreign exchange!"

   He was speechless again: "How much is a tube of ointment, this ointment tube is beaten with gold foil?"

  Zhang Youxin said anxiously: "Don't look at the face value of the monkey ticket is eight cents. In fact, it is much more valuable. This ticket was scheduled to print 8 million copies the year before, but in the end it was printed 5 million."

   "Now that the reform and opening up is taking place, and people in the city are starting to collect stamps, I heard from our director that there will be a stamp collection company in both the provincial capital and Shanghai. This monkey ticket will definitely be valuable in the future, and it will be no problem to appreciate it tenfold!"

   These words made Wang Yi look at him a little higher.

   Zhang Youxin looks very scribble, but his head is very clever.

   This is also the advantage of people in the system, the prophet of spring river plumbing duck.

   He handed the ointment to Zhang Youxin, took a row of monkey tickets, and said with a smile: "Comrade Zhuang and Comrade Zhang don't quarrel over such a small thing, I made this deal."

  Monkey Ticket is the Bitcoin of this era, with huge appreciation potential.

  Wang Yi knows that no matter whether the green key can take him through or not, the wheel of the times will always turn to the future, so this monkey ticket is very collectible.

   Six monkey tickets for six suites!

   Even if he doesn't return for 22 years, with the monkey ticket, he will be one step closer to the days of renting in the future!

  Zhuang Mancang didn't know about this, he saw Zhang Youxin happily put the ointment into his briefcase, and shook his head at Wang Yi.

   mourns for his misfortune, and angers him for not fighting.

  Hero of the Sea No. 6 will not go directly to Tianya Island, its destination is Haifu County Pier.

   However, it is also convenient for them to go to Tianya Island. As a postman, Zhang Youxin is familiar with all the running boats on the pier.

   He found a diesel tin boat to take the two to Tianya Island. Today the sea was windy, and the tin boat was riding the wind and waves, drifting past like a small island.

After   , another island appeared.

  The trees on the island are lush and green, and the boats are rippling with the waves.

  The waves hit the reefs on the island and splashed water droplets, and some old people squatted on the reefs to fish.

  There are women and children on the island shuttle back and forth, busy and in full swing.

   "The End of the World is here." Zhuang Mancang stood up and tightened his armed belt.

  Wang Yi was startled: "This is Tianya Island?"

   The difference was only a few hours, but what he saw were two completely different islands.

   No wonder he has poor eyesight. In the morning, Tianya Island was desolate and decayed, and there were vines everywhere.

   And now, Tianya Dao, which is in front of him, is full of vitality. There are people on the island and the surrounding sea, and there are loud shouts.

  The tin boat docked at the pier. At this time, the wooden pier was also very strong. He was still staring at the long wooden board. On it was written a large line of characters in red paint:

   Grasp the revolution, promote production, promote work, and promote war readiness!

   Several dogs came running wildly from the shore: "Wang Wang Wang..."

   Not far away, there was a wooden boat quickly approaching the pier, Wang Yi looked over curiously.

   This is a wooden sailboat.

   The bow is shaped like a bird's head, and the hull is long and straight. From the bow to both sides of the hull, a green anti-corrosion paint is applied, and there are black raised eyes below, so that the two green paints are like two green eyebrows.

  There were two great guys standing one after the other on the boat. The guy in front was named Wang Dongfeng, and he knew Zhuang Mancang.

   It turned out that Zhuang Mancang was transferred from the navy to the local police station. He also served as a militia instructor of the Municipal Armed Forces Department. Wang Dongfeng was a militiaman in Tianya Island and trained with him.

  The two sides saluted and said hello. Zhuang Mancang asked solemnly, "Where's your secretary? I have something to ask him."

  Wang Dongfeng said: "Our secretary contracted the cold and has been recuperating at home for the past two days. I'll take you there. Uh, who is this comrade? Is this the new teacher?"

The young man behind    muttered: "Look at his colorful clothes, handsome and good-looking, how can he look like a teacher? The upper level will send a blind boy to our village."

  Zhuang Mancang said: "Don't talk nonsense, take me to see your secretary."

   Wang Yi knew that at this time, Wang Xianghong was still the secretary of the Wang Family Brigade.

   This is a powerful man. He joined the maritime military team when he was young, and later he was promoted to the main force with military exploits. He also fought in the Battle of Transition River and entered Jinling City.

After the Battle of Crossing the River, the Central Military Commission decided to liberate the Wengzhou area. Wang Xianghong was transferred to the People's Liberation Army because of his bravery and skill in fighting and his familiarity with the local sea conditions.

  With the liberation of the whole country, the country began to develop people's livelihood. At this time, Wang Xianghong thought of his poor hometown, which was lonely in the sea, and he made several reports to ask for recovery and return home to lead the villagers to a well-off life.

After the demobilization, the island happened to be building a democratic regime. He was the only party member in the village, and a soldier who made great deeds. His father was the elder of the village. In the end, the people in the village convinced him to be the village chief, and the superior also approved him. Become the village party secretary.

  Wang Dongfeng led the way, stepping on the wooden pier with bare feet making a thumping sound.

  Some dog aggressively rushed at Wang Yi, grinning and frowning, and quietly followed behind and even tried to punch at his ankle.

  Zhuang Mancang gave it a quick kick, and the dog flew into the water with a scream.

  Other dogs run with their tails tucked.

  Wang Yi was taken aback.

  The dog is still so wild?

   There was a house in front of them after they got off the pier. Wang Dongfeng walked straight over, and Wang Yi shuddered: Isn't this the house he opened before crossing?

   At this time, the gates between the courtyard walls are two elegant lacquered wooden doors, the gates are open, the peach trees in the yard are budding and growing leaves, and there are old hens looking down for food under the trees.

  A middle-aged and elderly man in a military green coat was sitting at the door and purring, holding a white-haired yellow-spotted cat in his arms, which was also purring.

  Wang Dongfeng shouted happily at the door: "Secretary, who do you think is here?"

  The middle-aged and elderly person is Wang Xianghong, who is in his fifties this year. He is smart, strong, and strong.

   He quickly opened his eyes when he heard the shout, and after seeing Zhuang Mancang's appearance, he stood up suddenly: "Xiao Zhuang, what wind brought you here?"

  Zhuang Mancang quickly walked in and shook hands with him, with a warm smile on his face for the first time: "Old monitor, I should have come to see you long ago, but I'm busy with work..."

"Don't be polite, why should you come to see me? Now your city is in chaos, and you have a heavy workload." Wang Xianghong said, "So why are you here this time? Is there any task for the public security organs? Are we cooperating?"

  Zhuang Mancang gave him a hand and whispered, "Take a step to talk."

  The two went to the door to mumble a few words, and he took out the royal family tree.

   Wang Xianghong was suddenly excited, and the coat that was draped over his body suddenly fell:

   "Yes, this is the family tree of our Wang family! How could I not recognize it? I recognized it at a glance!"

   He quickly walked towards Wang Yi again.

   Walking is windy, and tigers are powerful!

   Wang Yi was forced to retreat subconsciously.

  Wang Xianghong walked over to look at him carefully and asked, "What's your father's name?"

   Wang Yi said: "My name is Wang Xiangwen."

  Wang Xianghong and his grandfather are of the same generation, both of the auspicious generation. Wang Xianghong's real name was Wang Xianghong, and he changed his name to Wang Xianghong after joining the army.

  Wang Xiangwen is Wang Yi's grandfather. Now he can only apologize to his father in his heart. In order to save his life, he has to pretend to be his father's identity.

   As far as he knows, his father is still studying on the farm in the northeast, and he will not return to the island until 1987.

  Wang Xianghong immediately turned his head and said to Zhuang Mancang: "Comrade Zhuang, yes, this is indeed the descendant of our Wang family. His father is my brother who has not produced five servers, that's right!"

  Zhuang Mancang was stunned for a moment and said, "You can confirm his identity like this? Don't you need to ask more carefully?"

   Wang Xianghong said, "What are you asking? His face looks exactly like his father's. Look at my face, do we have any similarities?"

  Zhuang Mancang said hesitantly: "It's a bit like, but..."

   "No, but he is the descendant of our royal family." Wang Xianghong said firmly.

  Zhuang Mancang asked again: "Then why is your royal family tree in his hands?"

   Wang Xianghong sighed subconsciously and said, "I know this, Comrade Zhuang, I'll tell you about this when I have a chance. This comrade is indeed a descendant of our Wang family."

   After he finished speaking, he grabbed Wang Yi's hands and asked, "You were young when your father left the island. I didn't expect you to be so big in a blink of an eye. Your name is Wang Dongqing, right?"

   Wang Yi's father was indeed called Wang Dongqing, but he couldn't recognize the name, so he explained: "After I went to the Northeast with my father, my father changed my name to Wang Yi."

The name    seemed to touch Wang Xianghong, who murmured, "Wang Yi, Wang Yi, alas."

  Zhuang Mancang asked warily: "Didn't you say you can study in the capital? Why is it related to the Northeast again?"

  Wang Yi ran the train with his mouth full: "Oh, it's like this, I studied in the Northeast, and then I got into the capital after the entrance examination!"

  Zhuang Mancang still wanted to ask, but Wang Xianghong said excitedly: "Have you studied in the capital? Hey, you have a future, you have a future!"

  Wang Yi nodded.

  Wang Xianghong held his wrist with one hand and waved boldly with the other, and said, "Dongfeng, you go and tell the clerk, go to Curry to get some fresh goods and put them out tonight."

   "The lost genealogy of our Wang family was sent back by Comrade Zhuang. The descendants of our Wang family have returned to their ancestors. Double happiness is coming. We have to be warm tonight."

  Wang Dongfeng ran away immediately.

  Zhuang Mancang said: "Old squad leader, don't bother, this is what I should do, the people's public security is for the people, this is what it should be, I have to go back..."

   "What are you going back to?" Wang Xianghong looked up at the sun, "It's already four o'clock, you can't go back, stay tonight and leave tomorrow!"

   "Go, come into the house with me for a drink!"
