The world was shocked: You call this a museum?

Chapter 35 The Mysterious Video Tape
Sister Rao from the Development Gallery gave Zhao Yan a wink: "Xiao Zhao, did you get a new car?"

"A colleague." Zhao Yan said.

Sister Rao is a beautiful middle-aged woman who has lived in this street for ten years. I heard that she came here to work with her boyfriend, and then her boyfriend died on the construction site. Opened a hair salon.

In the beginning, it was a haircutting business, and then a few sisters from the same village came to seek refuge, and they replaced the incandescent lamps with pink lamps. As for what to do, everyone around them knew it well.

The young Sister Rao is very beautiful, and she was also Zhao Yan's dream lover, but his father warned him not to get too close to Sister Rao and the others. It was only after he grew up that he realized that this was the case.

Sister Rao squeezed out a half-grown girl, about 14 years old, wearing a school uniform.

"Brother Zhao Yan! Long time no see!"

"It's Xiaorou!" Zhao Yan smiled.

This is the only thought left by Sister Rao's dead boyfriend. Sister Rao once couldn't think about it because of the issue of registering.

She stood on the drawbridge and was later rescued by several neighbors.

But what's strange is that Sister Rao doesn't do these businesses anymore, she simply gets a haircut.

Maybe it's because she has a daughter, she doesn't want to let her daughter know about her past.

But the neighbor pointed out that the daughter's grades are so good and her head is so smart, so she can more or less guess it.

"Moved?" Sister Rao came over.

Zhao Yan took out a cigarette from his pocket, and handed one to Sister Rao: "No, the work unit is busy, and it takes time to go back and forth. I'll get some things, and I will live in the work unit later."

"How is your mother?" Sister Rao said.

"Thank you for your concern. She is much better now, and she should be discharged from the hospital in a short time. Wait for me to come down and get a haircut!" Zhao Yan beckoned.

Sister Rao was amused: "Stinky boy, do you want to wait for my mother to give you some special care?"

"Hey, it's better to avoid it! That thing will be addictive, and then the soul will be hooked away by you!"

"Stinky boy, you are the only one who can talk!" Sister Rao scolded with a smile, but she still held her daughter's hand and said, "Go, continue with your homework, don't disturb your brother Zhao."

Zhao Yan came upstairs, and what caught his eye was the neat furnishings in the room.

There are old objects everywhere, and there are memories everywhere.

A family portrait on the living room is so conspicuous.

It's just that there are three people missing from the family portrait.

He could see God.

My father passed away in a car accident, and my grandfather died five years ago after being bedridden for three years due to a stroke.

Grandma was more agile. Grandpa had just passed away a few months ago when he suddenly had a myocardial infarction. The doctor said he didn’t suffer much. At that time, his mother told Zhao Yan that grandma couldn’t bear the loneliness and went underground to find grandpa.

There are also two aunts in the photo, but they are both married far away.

After Zhao Yan thought about it, he still took down the family portrait, rolled it up carefully and took it away.

It is a pity that the few pots of flowers and plants on the balcony withered because no one took care of them, and there was only a lonely pot of aloe left, which was still tenacious.

But a few large leaves have turned yellow and hardened.

Zhao Yan removed the dead leaves and took the aloe with him.

My mother is a frugal person. When other people use facial masks, she makes a homemade facial mask with aloe vera and gelatin, and then adds some cucumber powder. The effect is much better than some famous brand facial masks.

Just when Zhao Yan was about to move things away, he suddenly remembered something.

That's where my father used to hide his private money.

At that time, I was obsessed with the GBA game console, and my father saw that I secretly used the breakfast that I had saved for half a year to play games, so he was so angry that he confiscated his game console.

Although there are mobile games now, which are not inferior to the handhelds at the time, Zhao Yan still wants to pursue memories.

"Let's take it away together." Zhao Yan smiled and walked towards the house.

Behind a cheap fake painting, there is a groove.

This place is where my father usually saves his private money. My mother doesn't like my father smoking, so my father secretly took out his private money to buy cigarettes.

As the saying goes, the Tao is one foot tall and the devil is ten feet high. In the days when the two are fighting, the family is also full of fun.

"Is this..."

Zhao Yan took out the thing in the hidden compartment, which was an object wrapped in red cloth. At that time, he also saw his father put something in it by accident.

Zhao Yan put the object on the table and opened it.

There are bundles of ten and ten yuan banknotes on them, and they are still old banknotes. In order to prevent corrosion and mildew, there is a desiccant next to it.

It's just that Zhao Yan took the banknote away, only to find that there was no handheld phone underneath, but a video tape.

Old-fashioned video tapes, now the disc players are no longer used, but Dad has a video tape hidden?

Zhao Yan thought for a while, and immediately went to the storage room at home to look for it. Sure enough, he found an old-fashioned video recorder, but when he plugged in the wire, he found that it was broken.

What's on the tape?
Why would such a cautious father keep the videotape in such a secret place?
Zhao Yan couldn't figure it out, so he simply put the video recorder on his shoulders, and went to find an old shop to repair it when he was going back.

He first went to the hairdressing salon to get a haircut, and asked Sister Rao to pick his ears. Sister Rao is very good at picking ears, and many customers come here all the way.

It is precisely because of this ability that she can operate in a law-abiding manner with greater profits than before, and even hired two college students as apprentices.

……

"No one uses the video recorder now, what is it called now... U... U..."

"USB." Zhao Yan said after taking the words of a man in his sixties.

The uncle wore a pair of presbyopic glasses and opened a shop near the old street.

This store has a long history, but there are still many elderly people who come to him to repair their radios.

"Old Huang, everyone here knows that you are the only one who can repair VCRs and CD players, and you can't even do it, so what do you do?" Zhao Yan was anxious.

Lao Huang smiled: "You put this video recorder here, and I sold it as a scrap. I have a working video recorder here."

"Really?" Zhao Yan was overjoyed.

"Two hundred oceans!" Lao Huang took the opportunity to say.

Zhao Yan scolded with a smile: "Grandpa, you are taking advantage of the fire! Two hundred oceans? Back then, the video recorder was bought brand new for only more than 100 yuan!"

"Hey, you're talking for nothing. At that time, a person's monthly salary was only 30 yuan. What about now?" The uncle gave him a white look, "Forget it, I'll charge you 100 yuan! Watching you grow up, you, and you As smart as mom!"

Lao Huang took out the video recorder, plugged it in, and it worked.

Lao Huang also took out a few boxes of honest video tapes: "These are for you, there are Marilyn Monroe movies..."
