Back to the Republic of China to open a department store

"Son! Nong finally woke up and scared my mother to death."

As soon as Luo Xiazhi opened his eyes, he saw a huge face almost touching his nose, which made him startled.

When did you have this old aunt at home?

No, why does this old aunt look familiar.

Rorschach felt a little dizzy.

Maybe last night, I drank too much with Yu Meihui and Xiaoye, who rarely returned to China, and now I can't get my head around.

After all, I am old, I am over 70 years old, I really can't accept my old age...

"Auntie, who are you? (Who are you)"

Rorschach asked in a daze.

"Old Luo! It's terrible! My son's head fell, and he actually called me 'Auntie'! It's unreasonable to call me 'Auntie'!"

As soon as this remark came out, the old aunt screamed earth-shatteringly, which shocked everyone else in the ward.

Ward?

Luo Xiazhi looked at the surrounding environment.

The smell of disinfectant, the ticking sound of various monitors... This, isn't this the Luo Mansion in Hong Kong?

Lying on the bed to his left, a young man wearing a mask was scrolling on his mobile phone.He gave Luo Xiazhi and the others a look of disgust, and said coldly, "Pay attention to the quality of the store? Don't make a scene in the ward. If you are sick, call the doctor."

"Son, how is Nun? You don't know your mother anymore, so you know your father anyway?"

An elderly man rushed to his hospital bed, bent down with the big-faced woman just now, and looked straight at him.

"Dad... Mom?"

Luo Xiazhi pointed at the two of them in disbelief, and finally recognized their identities.

Isn't this his father Lao Luo and his mother Ms. Wu!

He is back?

This is Shanghai in 202X, not Hong Kong!

"pain……"

Luo Xiazhi only felt as if hundreds of needles were piercing his head at the same time, he subconsciously touched his head, and then touched the gauze wrapped around his forehead.

"I, what's wrong with me?"

what is happening?

"Son, did you forget? You were in the department store with your mom trying to snatch the lucky bag. You didn't know if you tripped over a wire or something, so you fell. Oh, what a horrible situation that was." Yes. Hundreds of people crammed into such a small atrium almost trampled you to death."

When Ms. Wu spoke, she was still gesticulating excitedly, which Luo Xiazhi missed very much.

"And then I was sent to the hospital? How long have I been asleep."

he asked belatedly.

"You still have the nerve to ask, I've been asleep for two full days. I almost scared your father to death. Don't you, Lao Luo?"

Ms. Wu tugged at the hem of her husband's clothes and turned her head away so that her son would not see the tears in her eyes.

"Yeah, the doctor has checked everything for you. MRI and CT have been done, and it cost thousands of dollars. It turns out that you have nothing wrong with you, you just fell asleep. If you If you still can't wake up, the hospital wants us to go through the discharge procedures, saying that you don't need to occupy the bed in this situation..."

Father Luo also wiped away his tears, "Son, what kind of dream is it that makes you reluctant to wake up for such a long time and makes us so worried."

"Two days... I had a dream for two days..."

For 50 years, nearly [-] days and nights, is it just a two-day dream?

So... everything is fake, there is no Shimai Department Store, there is no Gu Hanlin, and there is no Liang Shaolong, everything is a dream of his?

Rorschach was stunned, he couldn't accept it.

"Bed 17 can be discharged. Hurry up, the patients behind are waiting to be admitted."

The little nurse put her hands in her pockets, walked to their bedside, and said bluntly.

"Little Feiyan?"

The pungent girl in nurse uniform and nurse cap in front of me is just like the "Little Feiyan" when she was young!

He remembered that when he met Xiao Feiyan for the first time in the "Spring Peach Class" on Fourth Avenue, the girl rushed towards him with a flower gun in hand, treating him as a prodigal son, and pretending to beat him.

Not much different from what it looks like now.

"Want to strike up a conversation?"

The little nurse snorted coldly, "I don't like my younger brother. Give up."

After speaking, he walked away.

"Son, your way of striking up a conversation is too poor."

Seeing Luo Xiazhi's dumbfounded expression, his father Lao Luo leaned into his ear and whispered, "This nurse is the most beautiful in their hospital. Don't think she's just a little nurse, but she actually has a league of admirers. "

For the past two days, Luo's father has been in bed with him in the hospital, and he has inquired a lot of news.

This little girl seems to be some kind of relative of the dean. She has a little background and is not easy to mess with.

"However, how do you know her nickname is 'Little Feiyan'? Didn't you sleep for two full days..."

When Luo Xiazhi heard this, he was silent for three seconds.

"mom!"

He yelled, startling Ms. Wu who was packing his clothes and luggage for him.

"In which department store did I fall?"

"The big department store on Nanjing Road..."

"Which big department store? What's the name?"

He jumped out of bed with a "squeak", causing the boy in the next bed to throw another eye knife.

"Zhonghua Department Store. I used to take you there when you were young... Later, the business was too bad and closed down. It was just renovated and opened two days ago."

Her mother said in a daze.

"China……"

"Ah! 'Zhonghua Department Store' is the name changed after the public-private partnership. Isn't it restored? When it reopened, the earliest signboard was put up again. In fact, it's not the earliest. The earliest one was The Japanese bombed it. Now this piece was reinstalled later.”

Ms. Wu pointed to her head with her index finger, "What was it called... Hey, I'm getting old, so I can't understand it all at once. Lao Luo!"

"It seems to be called 'Shimai Department Store'."

Luo's father was very clear, and immediately answered, "It is said that it was called 'Shimai Department Store' before liberation. Until 1955, companies of all sizes here in Shanghai began to be state-owned. This department store became a state-owned enterprise. In the 90s After that, business will not be good.”

"However, last year or the year before last, the niece of the founder of the department store... the old lady is over 100 years old. When I returned to Shanghai for a visit, I passed by the closed Zhonghua Department Store. I was very sad and sponsored a large sum of money. , I want to redecorate and reopen the department store according to the original appearance of the department store 100 years ago..."

"Shimai, smile..."

Luo Xiazhi only felt that the hairs all over his body were maturing.

That is not a dream!

There is really a "Shimai Department Store". I fell down when Shimai Department Store reopened, and I went back to 100 years ago.

Xiaoxiao also came to the company last year, Xiaoxiao is not dead!Xiaoxiao is still in this world!

Luo Xiazhi raised his legs and ran away, his parents were frightened.

He wanted to scream loudly, he wanted to run back to Nanjing Road.

He wants to see it with his own eyes, to see what Shimai Department Store will look like in 100 years, whether it is what he dreamed of.

"Bed 17! Why are you running around? You haven't taken off your hospital gown yet, where are you going?"

The nurse "Xiaofeiyan" chased after him for two steps, but she couldn't keep up with his speed, so she leaned on the wall and gasped for breath after a while.

"This patient, you can't run in the corridors of the hospital. Besides, your wound is not healed yet."

Just when Luo Xiazhi was about to run to the end of the corridor, a man in a white coat came out from the corner and stopped him with his hand.

Due to inertia, Luo Xiazhi threw himself into his arms.

He was about half a head taller than Rorschach and wore a mask.

From his angle, he could just see the top of Rorschach's head.It was obvious that after hearing his words, the young man in his arms trembled slightly.

This voice, this voice is too familiar...

no, I can not……

Luo Xiazhi wanted to raise his head, but he didn't dare to raise his head.

He was afraid that this was another dream, as long as he raised his head, this beautiful dream would disappear.

"Oh, Xiaoxia, what are you and Dr. Gu doing so close together? Let go of him quickly."

Ms. Wu chased after him in a panic, and embarrassedly pulled Luo Xiazhi, who was bowing his head, out of the arms of the young doctor in front of him.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Gu, he may have slept for two days and wanted to move too much. He didn't run around in the corridor on purpose!"

As she said that, she patted Luo Xiazhi's shoulder heavily, "Xiao Xia, look up. Thank you, Dr. Gu. This time, Dr. Gu is in charge of treating you."

"Auntie, I just bandaged his wound. Your son is really fine..."

Dr. Gu took off his mask with a smile, and smiled softly at Luo Xiazhi, "Don't run around in the hospital corridor next time. What if you bump into the elderly and children?"

Then, he saw a pair of eyes that were about to cry.

What kind of eyes are those? His eyes seem to contain decades of affection, where there is sadness, joy, the touch of reunion after a long absence, and unbelievable timidity.

"you……"

Gu Hanlin was so shocked that he was speechless for a moment.

"Gu Hanlin, Doctor Gu Hanlin..."

Luo Xiazhi looked at this familiar face and saw the nameplate on his left chest - Gu Hanlin, deputy director of general surgery, and hot tears rolled down his cheeks.

So, in this life, you finally don't have to save the country, don't give up your favorite medicine, and finally become a doctor...

"Son, what's the matter? Are you uncomfortable? Why are you crying so well?"

Ms. Wu was so frightened that she turned around to say hello to Gu Hanlin with an embarrassing face, "I'm sorry, Doctor Gu, my son is not like this usually. Maybe it's because he was sleeping stupidly, sleeping stupidly."

Just as Gu Hanlin was about to say something, he saw the nurse "Xiaofeiyan" rushing over in a hurry, pointing at Luo Xiazhi and said seriously, "Bed 17! Now! Immediately! Immediately! Take off the patient's clothes. You want to leave the hospital in hospital gown?"

Luo Xiazhi looked down at the black and white vertical striped clothes, then looked up at Gu Hanlin who was full of smiles, blushed and lowered his head, grabbed the neckline, and said in a low voice, "Oh..."

Go back to the ward and change your clothes.Luo Xiazhi noticed that the boy in the next bed was not lying on the bed at the moment, and went to the end of the bed curiously to see what kind of illness he had.

Patient name: Li Ye

He froze again.

"Son, let's go, what are you looking at?"

Luo's father had already gone outside to pay the fee and go through the formalities, and Ms. Wu here finally packed up her things and came over to grab Luo Xiazhi's arm.

"Let's go. Your grandma is at home and made you your favorite braised pork. She is waiting for us to go back at home."

"Mom, what's wrong with this man? It's not serious, is it?"

Just now, I could only see the side face of this boy wearing a mask, and his big eyeballs rolling the whites of his eyes.So I'm not sure if this "Li Ye" is the same "Li Ye".

"Little young, full of anger, he broke his arm in a fight."

Ms. Wu shook her head, "Don't learn from them, young people in society, don't do your job properly."

"Do you... know who fought with him?"

"Then how would I know?"

Ms. Wu covered her mouth amusedly.

"That's right, speaking of it, this hospital is really destined for us."

Ms. Wu was still worried about her son's condition, so she took his arm and walked slowly into the corridor.

"This Renji Hospital. Mom gave birth to you in this hospital."

Renji, is this Renji Hospital?

The two walked to the outside hall, Luo Xiazhi raised his head, looked at this cold, completely modern hospital hall, and couldn't find anything in common between it and the Renji Hospital in his memory.

"By the way, do you know why you are called 'Xiazhi'?"

"Of course it's because my mother gave birth to me on the day of the summer solstice. She knew it since she was a child."

Rorschach replied absent-mindedly.

He looked around, wanting to see where the doctor Gu Hanlin had gone just now.

He looks so young, is he already the deputy chief doctor?

Luo Xiazhi heard from his classmates before that medical students need at least eight years of college.If you were to be the deputy chief doctor, you would have to be in your thirties, right?

"Yeah, it's actually a premature birth. According to the expected date of birth, she won't be born until at least July..."

"Uh, uh..."

Luo Xiazhi said a few perfunctory words, his eyes lit up.

He saw that on the LED screen at the top of the hall, the introductions of all the doctors in the hospital were scrolling.He raised his head, wanting to see the life of Dr. Gu Hanlin.

The two happened to walk in front of a propaganda wall introducing the history of the hospital. Ms. Wu suddenly pointed excitedly at an old photo pasted on the wall, "Son! This is you! This little baby is you!"

"what?"

Luo Xiazhi lowered his head, followed the direction of Ms. Wu's fingers, and saw the old photo pasted in the center of the hanging window wall - a wrinkled old woman was tenderly hugging a newborn baby with no sex. Invisible baby.

He couldn't recognize if the little baby was him when he was a child,

But he recognized the silver-haired old man with a kind smile at a glance.

Xiaoxiao, that's Xiaoxiao... Xiaoxiao, have you aged like this?

No, if the newborn baby above is really him, it was also Xiaoxiao 21 years ago.

In his impression, Xiaoxiao will always be a child.First it was a little girl, then it was a big girl.

His girl, Xiaoxiao, who has been held in her palm all her life, has she ever held him in her arms like this?

"I remembered. That day was the summer solstice, and my mother gave birth to you. But you were born prematurely and your body is very weak. Grandma Luo, who is from Hong Kong, happened to sponsor a set of rescue equipment for premature newborns to Renji Hospital."

"That was the only imported first-aid equipment in Shanghai at that time. Without this grandma, Xia Zhi, you would have died, you know? She is our family's great benefactor."

Ms. Wu said with emotion, she didn't notice at all, his son was stunned.

"You are the first newborn to be rescued by this rescue equipment. Evening News came to interview us on the day you were discharged from the hospital. Grandma Luo was in good spirits at that time. She held you in her arms and asked me: What's the name of Lennon's son? I said you don't have a name yet, but his father's name is 'Luo'."

"Grandma Luo said, 'My surname is Luo Hao, my surname is also Luo'. She asked me, was your son born on the day of the summer solstice? I said yes. She said...she said, or it should be called 'Luo Xiazhi' . Nice to hear and easy to remember.”

"I followed it with 'Rorschach', 'Rorschach'...it really sounds good. Your father also thought it sounded good, so he decided on it. So your name was actually chosen by Grandma Luo for you."

Looking at the photos and talking about the past, Ms. Wu was full of emotions.

She turned around, startled.

The son actually cried again!

"Son, let's not go out of the hospital yet, let's go back and shine some light. Did you really break your brain?"

This kid is usually very stubborn, and he never complains of pain when bumping into him. Why did he cry so many times in just a few minutes today.

Is the brain really out of whack?

"Doctor Gu, it's just right, please come and take a look. My son may really not be well, you see he is crying again."

Seeing Gu Hanlin hurrying past with his medical records, Ms. Wu pulled him over politely.

Gu Hanlin also turned his head curiously, looked at the crying young man with pear blossoms and rain, stretched out his hand and pushed his shoulder, "Luo Xiazhi, are you okay?"

Seeing that he didn't respond, he spread his five fingers and waved them in front of his eyes, "Answer me."

Rorschach solstice…

Are you OK?

I'm Gu Hanlin!

Did you hear me?

answer me!

In his memory, he was buried under the ruins of the Seventh Heaven Hotel, which looked like eighteen levels of hell. He vaguely heard this familiar voice.

"Well, please give me your WeChat ID. If you still feel unwell after leaving the hospital, you can directly contact me via WeChat."

Gu Hanlin looked at the time, he had a consultation soon, so he couldn't delay here for too long.

So he took out his phone and shook it at Luo Xiazhi, "You scan me? I scan you?"

----------------

Back home, lying on the familiar single bed in a small room of only ten square meters, Luo Xiazhi finally had the feeling of coming out of his dream.

look!This is a smaller room than the servant's room in the Luo Mansion!This is the real "Rorschach" room.

look!This poor plywood furniture!After so many years, it still has a fragrance of methanol.

look!This mottled cheap domestic floral wallpaper!Not to mention the wallpaper imported from Italy in Tianwaitian Hotel, the wallpaper in Gu Hanlin's small villa is ten thousand times more beautiful than this one.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. After sleeping in the hospital for two days, Luo Xiazhi felt that he was going to become a capitalist.

As soon as he lay down with Altman's pillow in his arms, his phone lit up, alerting him of a new WeChat message.

—Are you feeling better?

The sender is "Medical Expert Lao Gu".

Luo Xiazhi couldn't help laughing.

Suddenly, he had a flash of light.

Without much thought, he typed a line on his phone and sent it.

——Are you trying to chase me?How can a doctor take the initiative to add a patient to WeChat?

After sending, he threw the phone aside.

At any rate, Ji, who had been involved in that dream all his life, felt that he should have a "Kida" in him.

The way Dr. Gu looked at me today, he shouldn't be pretending to be affectionate...

Jumping off the bed, Luo Xiazhi sat in front of the computer desk, opened the computer browser, and entered the words "Shimai Department Store".

Shimai Department Store was founded by Mr. Luo Xiazhi (1907~1983), a patriotic businessman, at the age of 18 on Nanjing Road, which was also known as "Big Street" at that time. It is the first global department store in the country to advocate "no second price".

This department store has opened up a new era of retailing in our country.It was the first department store to employ female sales assistants and the first to install the most advanced escalators of its time.At the same time, on the top floor of this department store, the most famous glass radio station in Shanghai at that time "Tianwaitian Radio Broadcasting Station" was opened...

Mr. Luo Xiazhi, a patriotic businessman, successively invested and opened textile factories, soda factories, chemical factories, fertilizer factories, tire factories, and even owned the most cruise ships in the country at that time.It is a veritable "Department Store King", "Industrial King" and "Cruise King".

During the Anti-Japanese War, Mr. Luo Xiazhi withstood the intimidation and temptation of the Japanese invaders, ran in many ways, and worked hard to preserve the industrial seeds of our country.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Mr. Luo Xiazhi went south to Hong Kong and opened up a second career in Hong Kong.

After the reform and opening up, Mr. Luo Xiazhi expressed his desire to return to Shanghai many times.It was only because of physical reasons that the trip never took place.

On the second day after his 77th birthday, Mr. Luo Xiazhi, a patriotic businessman, died of illness in the Luo Mansion on the top of Victoria Peak in Hong Kong.

On the day of the funeral, important people from all walks of life, including the business and political circles, attended his funeral.Let's go to the end for this old man who has worked so hard all his life for the commercial and industrial development of the country.

This feeling of browsing my own information on XX Encyclopedia is really amazing, especially seeing my "posthumous photos"...

Instead of feeling sad, Luo Xiazhi wanted to laugh very much.

He snapped a photo of "Rorschach's Funeral Day."

Very good, very clear!

Xiaoxiao, Xiaoye, Xiaofeiyan and Yu Meihui all attended his funeral and cried very sadly.

Then he finally left without regret.

Come on, let me take a look at your XX encyclopedias again!

Luo Xiazhi frantically entered the names of several other people in the search bar, wanting to see how history evaluated them.

correct!He will go to Shimai Department Store again tomorrow!He wanted to see if it was really "restored as old".

He also wants to visit the Seventh Heaven Hotel and the Plum Garden!

He was having fun playing on the computer here. Not only did he ignore the voice of his mother, Ms. Wu, telling him to go out for dinner at the door, but he didn't even notice the mobile phone that was thrown on the bed, and WeChat flashed several times in a row.

——Yes, I want to chase you.

——Do you want to chase it?

——? ? ?What about people?

"Doctor Gu, what are you doing? I'm not off work, I'm playing with my phone."

In the doctor's office of Renji Hospital, Gu Hanlin was sitting on the seat, holding a mobile phone with a serious face.

The young female doctor behind him asked curiously.

"Waiting for a reply from a very important patient."

"Then just wait, I'm off work first. I'm going to watch the 'Flying Dragon' EP press conference tomorrow. Hehe, my son finally made his debut."

"Oh, you go. I'll leave in a while."

Gu Hanlin vaguely remembered that this intern named Yu Meihui was a crazy star-chaser.

Last year, there was a talent show that... I forgot its name, and there was a group called... I forgot its name.

Gu Hanlin himself is getting old, never chasing stars, and has no research on these.

But this doctor Yu likes the C position very much, it seems to be called "Flying Dragon".

He put down his phone and thought vaguely.

The patient surnamed Li who lived in the bed next to Luo Xiazhi seemed to be sent in because he had a fight with a male celebrity named Long.

"It can't be such a coincidence..."

He shook his head and continued to stare at his phone.

The phone lights up, and WeChat pops up.

—Okay, I'll chase you.

"Summer solstice eats watermelon" replied.

——Tomorrow I'm going to Nanjing Road to shop in department stores, are you coming?

--What time is it?

Gu Hanlin finally smiled and replied quickly.

So, we will meet again.

in some unknown future.
