Red Soviet Union

Chapter 745: A Family Reunion

In an instant, tears flowed from the corners of Hannah's eyes, and the two hugged each other tightly. Hannah's body trembled and she couldn't cry. Her hand brushed Heinrich's back. Back then, when the Berlin Wall was built, Let their husband and wife separate from now on, it will be twenty years at once! How do you fall asleep every night? Now, Hannah is finally in front of his eyes, and Heinrich is no longer willing to let Hannah be separated from him!

The Berlin Wall separated the families of countless people and separated their loved ones. When the Berlin Wall finally opened the door to allow people from East and West Germany to communicate with each other, such scenes happened everywhere.

Some were lucky enough to find their wives and children, and some were unlucky. When they found their old houses, they found that they had put on a new face and their wives and children had disappeared. What's more, when I was excited to find my family, I found out that the other half of my life had formed a new family with someone else.

After all, people are meant to survive.

Mom, who is this person? asked the daughter on the side.

Ivana, he is your father. When he left us, you were only three months old. In the blink of an eye, it has been more than twenty years. Hannah said to her daughter.

Didn't you say that father has passed away? Ivana asked puzzled.

That is to prevent you from being more sad. That day, your father went to work in West Berlin. As a result, the Berlin Wall was built that day. Since then, your father has been separated to the other side by the Berlin Wall. Hannah said: I never thought that we would meet again one day.

Heinrich looked at his adult daughter, with trembling hands, took out the wrapped gift: Ivana, from now on, our family will be reunited, and we will never be separated again. This is what I give you one's gift.

Heinrich handed the packaged box to Ivana, and immediately, Ivana's eyes lit up: The latest CD player! It's exactly what I like! I said it several times, and my mother agreed. Didn't buy it for me, Dad, I like you!

Heinrich watched his daughter hug him and kissed him on the cheek, and he recognized him as his father. Heinrich's mood was very complicated. He didn't expect that this Walkman would give his daughter to him. bought.

Of course, a walkman is not enough. Just now, didn't Ivana say that a computer is needed?

Ivana, when I return to West Germany, bring the money and buy this computer and give it to you. Heinrich said, Just treat it as my duty as a father!

Long live Dad! Ivana was full of affection for this father.

After receiving the deposit receipt, watching a group of West Germans surrounding him, the Heinrich family left the store and got into a two-door satellite car outside.

This is the national car of Germany. However, when the car was started, the continuous vibration of the car body and the black smoke from the rear still made Heinrich frown. It seems that East Germany is also a country with advanced electronic technology. , In terms of automobile technology, it is still very backward!

Germany has a strong industrial base and is also the birthplace of the automobile. However, the early auto industry was concentrated in western Germany. After the end of World War II, these major industrial bases all belonged to West Germany, and East Germany found that it could not even produce a single car! In 1953, the famous People's Uprising took place in East Germany. The shortage of consumer goods made the people unbearable. Later, East Germany decided to develop a family car to solve the people's dissatisfaction with life.

As a result, this satellite brand car, which has been selling well in East Germany for decades, kicked off. When it was originally planned, this car had two seats in the front and back, a total weight of no more than 600 kilograms, a top speed of 80 kilometers per hour, and fuel consumption. The volume is less than 5.5 liters per 100 kilometers, and the price is less than 4,000 East German marks. Because of the lack of steel, they had to use phenolic resin extracted from lignite and fibers from cotton to synthesize thermosetting plastics for car bodies.

This car is Trabant, which is a transliteration, which translates to satellites.

Two-cylinder, two-stroke, displacement 0.6 liters, the technology of the West is far behind, but as a national car, this thing can only be bought after several years of reservation, so everyone who owns it will carefully maintain it, Rarely fails.

Hannah, you have worked hard these years. Heinrich said, How did you live after I left? Originally, Hannah was just a housewife, but when Heinrich left , Hannah must take care of her daughter!

It's okay. In the past few years, we have been relying on government relief. Fortunately, my daughter went to school since she was a child, and she didn't need to spend any tuition fees. Until now, she has been studying at university and graduate students, all of which are public funds. Hannah said: When Ivana went to elementary school, I went out to work, and my life was very stressful at the beginning, but in recent years, I worked in an electronics factory, and my life has improved a lot. This car was also purchased last year.

Female workers are common workers on the production line of electronics factories. In these aspects, they are more meticulous than men and reduce mistakes.

Thank you, Hannah. From now on, you won't have to work. I will support you. This is what I should do. By the way, how much money do you make a month now? Heinrich asked.

It's not enough. Now, it's only 700 marks a month. Hannah said.

Seven hundred marks, in an instant, Heinrich felt the sweat streaming down his head, he was in West Germany, and only 500 marks a month! Originally, Heinrich wanted to say that taking Hannah and Ivana to West Germany, how many people risked their lives and fled from East Germany to West Germany! Now, the gates of the two Germanys have been opened, and they can come and go freely, which just happened to bring them back to West Germany. However, now it seems that life in East Germany is easier!

Completely free school, good wages, much better than West Germany, and... At this time, Hannah has already driven the car to a gas station, in front of the self-service gas machine, Hannah is about to refuel, looking at the gas machine The figure, Heinrich felt his heart beating violently, the oil price is really too cheap!

In West Germany, Heinrich had already sold his Volkswagen sedan because of the high oil price. He couldn’t afford to drive it anyway. Who knows, there are car sellers everywhere, and the prices of second-hand cars are quite low! After reluctantly selling, Heinrich now commutes to get off work by bicycle every day.

But now, I really didn't expect that the oil price here is so low! The cost of maintaining a car is low. Compared with West Germany, this place is a paradise on earth!

When the car continued to drive, Heinrich saw that the city here had changed a lot. It can be said that the new urban area here was completely built according to the Soviet characteristics, and the streets and so on were all exactly the same.

East Germany seems to be very different from the propaganda of the West German government! (To be continued.)
