50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 474 Inheritance
The two of them assured each other in unison, "No, Dad, we don't need that little bit of money, we won't buy or sell for profit."

Sun Zhiwei believed their assurances, so Tong Jiajia gave each of them three sets, while the rest were packed in boxes and put into the locked warehouse.

Excited to receive the sunglasses, the two ran out of the basement and went back to their room to try them on, completely forgetting about their earlier promise to help tidy up.

Sun Zhiwei and Tong Jiajia were the only ones left to pack up the supplies. The dozens of boxes he left behind mainly contained food, along with a number of other items.

When Tong Jiajia saw that everything on it was in English, she asked him where it came from. Sun Zhiwei didn't hide anything: "Most of the things in here were captured by me at the M Army base. The higher-ups don't care, so use them without worry."

"However, to avoid attracting attention, you can remove the label beforehand if you need to use it outside."

"Okay, I understand. I'll find time to remove all the tags."

The two of them worked in the basement until after 8 o'clock before they finished tidying up. She put the more conspicuous items into the locked room.

When they returned to the living room, the two younger children were already sitting there waiting for the TV.

Today is Saturday. Every Saturday night at 8:30, the TV station broadcasts the TV series "Garrison's Gorillas," which was imported from the United States.

This TV series tells the story of a group of American criminals who become heroes in the fierce battles during World War II.

The main characters are all unrestrained and wild, making them especially popular with boys. Even when the kids in the alley are playing around, they often shout lines from "The Dirty Dozen".

However, Sun Zhiwei knew that the show was about to be ruined because its values ​​were wrong.

Although "The Dirty Dozen" was the first American TV series to be imported to China, it conveyed American values.

It emphasizes individual freedom, advocates self-reliance, equal opportunities, recognizes competition, and pursues wealth, among other things.

Many films, television dramas, and cultural products later introduced to China were filled with the transmission of these values.

This kind of value system is easily accepted by young people, which eventually leads them to believe that the grass is always greener on the other side.

Many young people today find elements of street savior in the drama and idolize the main characters, imitating their behavior.

Some of them imitated prisoners practicing knife throwing, others imitated serial thefts, smoking, and drinking to find handsome men—all influenced by this TV series.

It just so happened that the situation on the streets was not good at that time, so someone used this as an excuse to expose it.

Actually, not many families own a television nowadays, so attributing this situation to a TV series is a bit of a stretch.

He felt the main reason was that there were too many unemployed young people in the city, and people who are idle are more likely to cause trouble.

Judging solely from the film's quality, the Shanghai Film Dubbing Studio, which translated this TV series, boasted an even more impressive voice cast, bringing together almost all the famous voices from the studio's heyday.

The film is well-translated and produced, with humorous lines throughout, making it a classic that should not be missed.

Thinking about this, he became a little worried about his daughter's safety outside, so he pulled Tong Jiajia into the room to discuss it with her.

"Jiajia, I've looked into the current situation on the streets of Beijing and I feel that the outside environment is not very safe. I'd like to give Hongying a handgun with her."

"A weapon? Is it that serious?"

"It's not too bad right now, but the trend isn't good. Hongying is a girl and she goes out often, so I think it's better to be prepared."

"Should I apply for one at the kindergarten?"

“No need, you’ve forgotten, we have our own.” Sun Zhiwei was referring to the two pistols his parents had left behind. When the guns were returned, they came with two legal documents. He gave one to his sister, Sun Ailai, for self-defense, and kept the other on his person ever since.

Now he took out this pistol, along with half a box of bullets and a legal document.

These items have been kept in a vacuum-sealed space and still look about 80% new.

"That's fine. Let Hongying carry it for self-defense. But you must sternly warn her not to use it unless absolutely necessary, and not to lend it to others."

“I definitely need to tell her this, and you should remind her as well.”

“I know, then I’ll call Hongying in.”

"Call them both in; there's nothing to hide."

Then, the two children were called into the master bedroom, where Sun Zhiwei solemnly explained the current situation to them and then handed the gun to Sun Hongying.

Although it wasn't the first time Sun Hongying had handled a gun, this was the first time she had ever owned one herself. She excitedly took the pistol in her hand and started playing with it.

The flower-shaped paddle roller has a nice design, is lightweight, and has low recoil, making it very suitable for girls.

But after a short while, she suddenly asked, "Dad, don't you love your country?"

"Sister, I'm a grown man, I don't need this. You can just use it to protect yourself." Sun Aiguo had trained in grappling and combat in the army, and he really didn't think much of this little gun.

“That’s right. Patriot is a soldier. If he loses his fighting ability and can’t protect himself without a gun, then I really doubt whether he is suitable to be a soldier.”

"Dad, don't worry, I don't even consider three or five strong men a threat." Sun Aiguo said this with confidence in his eyes.

This only made Sun Zhiwei more uneasy. What if this kid did something heroic or reckless, and then he would be ruining the child?

Just as he was about to warn Sun Aiguo, Tong Jiajia slapped him on the head.

"Look at how capable you are. You can start bragging when you've surpassed your dad."

His son was still unconvinced, so Sun Zhiwei thought it would be good to teach him a lesson today.

Tong Jiajia knew his background. Back then, he was a model militia trainee every year, a true ten-man warrior.

Sun Zhiwei is currently in her prime, and her physical strength has never declined, something she can attest to.

"What, you're not convinced? Let's have a match then?"

"Let's practice then." Unconvinced, Sun Aiguo led the way out of the bedroom, with Sun Zhiwei and Tong Jiajia following behind with smiles on their faces.

Seeing that there was something to watch, Sun Hongying quickly grabbed her gun case and ran into her room, saying, "Wait for me! I want to see too!"

Their commotion was so loud that it alerted Yang Guihua, who came out to see what had happened.

Sun Zhiwei didn't stop Yang Guihua from watching the excitement; it would be good for her to see it too.

Yang Guihua will likely stay at home for a long time from now on, and she will see everything, both what she should and shouldn't see, so loyalty will be very important.

Their family treated Yang Guihua very well, but simply showing kindness wasn't enough; they also needed to exert pressure and control over her.
