The scenery on the streets and alleys was completely different from when Li He left. The private shops that used to be afraid of confiscation had reopened, and all kinds of stalls were spread all over the streets.
In the past, the farmers who had returned to their hometown had returned to the city again. Now, there were more than just a few roads to enter the city. The roads were not as narrow as before. Most of them were young people. They used their brute force to find a place for themselves in the city.
However, the household registration policy still followed the path of the village elite selection during the imperial examination era. They studied hard, graduated from university, and registered in the city.
Then, fish would look for fish, shrimp would look for shrimp, potatoes would look for sweet potatoes, toads would look for frogs, turtles would look for tortoises, and they would find a woman who had similar experiences to them to marry. They would enjoy the benefits of the system and live a normal life.
After Deng Xiaoping's southern tour, the market economy, which was a belated beauty, finally said goodbye to the ambiguity of "half-hidden". Under everyone's complicated gaze, the market economy appeared on the stage of China's economy.
The argument about capital and society was met with a head-on blow, and everyone suddenly lost their voices. The tone was set very clearly. More planning or more market was not the essential difference between socialism and capitalism. The reform and opening up were bolder.
The two words "reform" and "opening up" were combined for the first time.
The reform and opening up, which had been troubled for a long time, was like a flood that had broken through the floodgates. After the southern tour, the wind direction changed. There were no more political movements or economic reforms. All kinds of central documents were either abolished or revised. The obstacles on the runway were all removed, and all kinds of people ran like crazy.
The government could set up companies, teachers could do part-time jobs, and those who sold scarce materials could make a profit legally.
Working in the sea became the lifestyle of millions of people. Working in the sea with an iron rice bowl would no longer be an anomaly. Officials, police, writers, professors, students …
They rushed to jump into the sea of business, and the face of society changed greatly.
Dummy companies used to be like rats on the street, but now the newspapers publicly praised them as the lubricant of the business field.
There were not enough business licenses in the capital.
At the same time, the reform of state-owned enterprises after the Southern Talks promoted the trend of working in the sea. Many people in charge of state-owned enterprises and government officials became the owners of private companies.
Suddenly, a large number of development zones appeared all over the country. They broke the soil everywhere, surrounded a piece of land with barbed wire, stamped a seal, cut a ribbon, and that was the opening.
Then, people started to shout that the economy was overheated! Inflated! Inflated!
Yue Dong said, "I just started the fire!"
Hu Jian said, "Even Eastern Guangdong isn't hot. I'm hot your sister!"
Su Sheng said, "I haven't even taken off my pants yet! Arrogant my ass! "
Qionghai Province changed the topic. My real estate business has just collapsed. How can I tell you?
Gui Xi said, "I'm still an ice cube!"
Midwest cried, "Motherf * cker, don't run so fast! Wait for me! "
Many things were still being debated, but going into the sea to do business and market economy had become the norm.
A Southern Patrol was able to stir up the China people. How much power did this have?
Li He once again experienced the great waves of this era. He observed it with a more meticulous eye, and it was another kind of feeling.
Li Lan refused to let anyone hug him. He chased after Ah Wang and ran in front.
"Ah Wang, slow down." He Fang knew that it was useless to call his son, so he could only call Ah Wang.
Ah Wang ran back eagerly. Li Lan also turned around and ran back.
Seeing his father glaring at him, Li Lan asked indignantly, "Look at what I'm doing!"
It would have been better if he hadn't heard the accent, but the moment he heard it, Li He was furious. He glared at him and said, "I'll have plenty of time to teach you a lesson. You'll know what I'm doing when the time comes! What I'm doing! "
Li Lan immediately pounced onto He Fang's thighs, feeling wronged.
"Just rest. Don't vent your anger on the child." He Fang was the first to be unhappy.
Li He said, "I say, I'm taking care of the child. Can you not go against me?"
He Fang rolled her eyes at him. "Are you taking care of the child? You're just scaring the child. Which boy isn't naughty? "
The old lady pretended not to hear. She held Li Lan's little hand and walked to the front.
"I wasn't naughty when I was young," Li He immediately retorted.
He Fang smiled and said, "When you were young? You were silly when you were young. You didn't have the qualifications to be naughty even if you wanted to. "
"You're right, okay?" Li He didn't argue with her and tactfully shut his mouth. When he wasn't home, his wife took care of most of the social and celebratory activities with his relatives, neighbors, and friends. This wasn't an easy task.
He Long, who had just returned from buying braised food, welcomed Li He and said happily, "Brother-in-law, we were just talking about when you would be back. I didn't expect you to be back today."
"I came back right after I finished my work. I wasn't sure when I would be back, so I didn't inform you in advance. What did you buy? "Li He tugged at He Long's plastic bag." Pig's head meat? It goes well with wine. "
"There's also peanuts." Seeing that his sister and mother had left, He Long hurriedly pulled Li He along. "Let's have a good drink this afternoon."
When Li He heard that there were peanuts in the bag, he quickly grabbed a handful and ate as he asked, "How's business?"
"It's very good. People nowadays are willing to spend money, unlike in the past when they were short on money when treating people to meals. They like to put on airs and show off. The more expensive the food, the more they like it."
"That's good. You're not busy during the day? I can't delay your business. "
"There are people looking after the shop. There aren't many people in the afternoon. Most of the customers come at night."
This was a very large residential area, more than 100,000 square meters. The main owners of the houses were employees of large organizations.
Many of them used to live in the same alley as Li He. At first, they didn't dare to recognize Li He. It wasn't until Li He nodded and smiled at them that they greeted him warmly.
Li He took out a few cigarettes and casually chatted for a while. Then, he followed He Long to the innermost part of the residential area.
When they entered the house, He Long began to introduce the layout of the house to Li He.
Of course, Li He kept praising it. In fact, it was really not bad. The 120 square meters of space had already exceeded the living conditions of many ordinary residents and even leaders. The decoration was also very beautiful. The furniture and sofas were all brand new.
"It's made in Japan." He Long showed Li He the latest toilet. With a loud bang, water splashed in the toilet.
"Big brother, it's time to eat. I know you can hold your liquor well. Let's start with half a liter each." He Long's brother-in-law, Wu Chunqiang, called him to eat. However, he didn't know how to address Li He properly, so he just called him big brother.
Li He looked at the white wine on the table and was a little nervous. He smiled and waved his hand. "I just came back and haven't recovered yet. Give me two days. You guys drink white wine. I'll drink some white wine."
The old lady at the side said, "Let's all drink beer. The shop is busy at night."
In the end, they all took beer. He Long opened a can of beer and placed three bottles in front of everyone.
Li Lan stood on the chair and looked at the bowl with his chopsticks.
Li He was just about to go over and pull him down. He Fang carried Li Lan down and asked softly, "What did Mommy say yesterday? Did you forget again?"
Li Lan rubbed his stomach and said, "Let's eat."
He Fang continued to ask, "Did you wash your hands after eating?"
Li Lan shook his head. "No, my hands are clean."
He even raised his hands for He Fang to see.
"You still have to wash your hands, remember?" He Fang saw him nod and continued to remind him, "You can't knock the bowl randomly when you eat, remember? If you knock the bowl again, Mommy will hit you. "
Li Lan sat on the sofa in a huff and played with his little hands, not saying a word. The old lady brought him a bowl of rice and fed him, but he deliberately turned his head away and refused to eat.
Li He said, "Just give him a beating and he'll be fine."
He Fang rolled her eyes at him. She pulled Li Lan to the balcony and coaxed him to feed him.
Wu Chunqiang raised his glass at Li He and said, "Kids are all like this. It'll be good when they grow up."
Li He downed his beer in one gulp and said, "If you don't take care of them well when they're young, they'll be harder to take care of when they're older."
He drank two bottles of beer and really couldn't drink anymore. He couldn't even keep his eyes open. He bade farewell and was about to leave. He was so sleepy that he wanted to sleep.
The old lady stayed at her son's house to help clean up the kitchen. Only Li He and He Fang's family went back.
The bottom of the building was steep. Li He went downstairs drunk. He Fang was worried that he would carry the child, so she carried him herself.
After going downstairs, Li He lit a cigarette and suddenly remembered to ask, "Why did you buy it on the sixth floor?" “
With the old lady at home, it would definitely be inconvenient for her to go up and down the stairs.
She said resentfully, "That Wu Chunyan thinks I don't know what she's up to. It's as if she's afraid of getting taken advantage of."
Li He smiled. "You're the eldest daughter. You'll have to suffer a little."
He Fang said, "Thank you."
