"Let's go. There are guests outside. " Li He pulled him out of the washroom and smiled. "Let bygones be bygones. Don't think so much."
"It's really not easy to live!" Li Aijun sighed. He grabbed a handful of water from the tap and rubbed it on his face.
Li He handed him a towel. "Don't be so sarcastic. You're older than me, but you grew up in the Imperial City. At the very least, you've never had to go hungry. Your parents are both working, and their conditions are much better than mine. Of course, you were just unlucky later on. But how can a person's life be smooth sailing? In the past, it wasn't easy to get a wife. Now, you should be content with having a family. Look at me, I'm quite content. "
"I'm not." Li Aijun shook his head. "Ordinary food and clothing can be provided at any time. Don't ask for extra wealth."
"Alright, let's go. I know what you want to say. " This was just a normal person's complaint. Even Li He couldn't accept giving his feelings but not getting anything in return, let alone Li Aijun.
Life was like a pendulum. It was always swinging between the pain of longing and the boredom of satisfaction.
"Thank you." Li Aijun adjusted his tie in front of the mirror and smoothed his messy hair. Then, he entered the hall again.
The bride, who had been panicking in the hall, calmed down when she saw Li Aijun. The two of them started toasting again.
The bride's maiden family also came to a table. Although they were arranged to sit in the middle of the table, they seemed particularly reserved in the lively banquet hall.
"Uncle Qi, Big Brother Qi, let me toast you." Li Aijun couldn't get away from other places. Li He went up to drink with the bride's family.
"Oh, I'm sorry." The Qi father and son quickly stood up.
Ever since they came in, they realized that Li He had been the center of attention. They were wondering what kind of person he was to receive so much respect from so many people. However, they thought that his status couldn't be low. Now that Li He was toasting them, they were overwhelmed by the favor.
Li He raised his glass, and everyone's eyes turned to him. After a while, a large group of people toasted the Qi family's table.
Today's scene also made the Qi family feel proud, especially when they saw the leader of the Municipal Party Committee talking and laughing with his son-in-law in front of other relatives.
Now that Li He and the others were toasting them, they were even more satisfied.
Even if it was their daughter's second marriage, it would be better than someone else's first marriage.
Li He returned to his seat and asked Little Wei, "When are you getting married?"
He already knew about the matter between Xiaowei and Yang Fugui.
"Brother Li, we are not in a hurry." Yang Fugui was very embarrassed.
"Haha, you're a big girl now." Li He continued to stare at Wei.
Little Wei scratched his head. "Soon, soon. Brother, I will definitely treat you to a drink before the 11th."
"That's good." It was not an exaggeration to say that Li He had watched Yang Fugui grow up. He knew her character very well. To be honest, she had completely matured in the past two years. She was not considered beautiful, but she had a shrewd temperament that ordinary women could not have. She was much better than Xiaowei. Now, she was basically the only one in charge of the printing factory, and her focus was on the mechanical equipment. It was Xiaowei's good fortune that she had taken a fancy to her. He turned to ask Yang Fugui, "I heard that you have brought your parents with you?"
"Yes, I bought a house in Xianghe County." Yang Fugui raised her glass to Li He and said in a low voice, "Brother Li, this glass is for you. Without you, there would be no me."
She said it very sincerely. Yes, she was just a malnourished girl in the past. She did not expect that she would have such a day.
"Keep up the good work." Li He smiled and clinked glasses with her.
After the banquet ended, Pinsong wanted to drive for Li He. He deliberately did not drink today. It was normal for him to drink and drive alone, but he knew that Li He hated to drink and drive.
Li He straightened his collar and hid his hands in his sleeves.
"I'm not taking the car. I'm walking."
Pinsong handed the car to the driver and followed behind Li He.
Li He almost couldn't recognize the daily changes in this place.
The capital was still implementing the "decentralized group" and "multi-center" layout in accordance with the 20-year plan. It was vigorously developing the surrounding satellite towns, forming more than a dozen county and regional centers, including Tongzhou, Huangcun, Fangshan, and Changping. This greatly relieved the pressure on the old city area.
In order to coordinate with the construction of the three-north protective forest, the roads in each area were replanned, and the main roads had new green isolation belts.
The busiest commercial streets were still in Wangfujing, Xidan North Street, and Dashilan Commercial Street.
"Brother, up ahead is North Street. Do you want to buy anything?" Pinsong pointed the way to Li He from behind.
"No, I'm just looking around." Li He was happy to see things changing every day.
Although winter had not ended, many construction sites had not stopped. The Xidan subway station was still under construction. There were also engineers doing support tests. Through model tests, the performance of the ground subsidence at different excavation stages and different excavation positions of the shallow long-span cavern using the double-side tunnel method was analyzed.
The shops on North Street were lined up. Most of them were clothing, medicine, photo studios, food and general merchandise. There were even ganoderma roast chicken, gauze tablecloths, bonsai materials, and the essence of oriental art. Who knew what it was.
Beer, 6 yuan per bottle, was also a new word.
"Jar" was a new word. It was a new word in English. The Chinese were also slowly accepting it.
As soon as this kind of beer appeared, it was everywhere in the capital.
Therefore, the ability of the Chinese to accept new things was unique in the world.
The Chinese used to be proud of driving out foreign shops, foreigners, and foreign goods. But now, no matter where they went, there were more and more foreign signs, and more and more foreign enterprises were setting up camp in socialist land.
Stefano Fashion Co., Ltd., a joint venture between China and Italy.
Menimus fast food restaurant, a joint venture between China and France.
McDonald's, a joint venture between China and America.
Benetton Fashion Co., Ltd., a joint venture between China and Japan.
Charlie Ice Cream Co., Ltd., a joint venture between China and America.
Zhongcui Fashion Boutique Co., Ltd., a joint venture between China, Britain, and America.
There was only one shop called "Hendry". This name was quite confusing. People thought it was a foreign investment, but in fact, it was an old shop in Zhenjiang.
In the past, people were proud of buying old shops. There was an old saying, "The top of the head is Ma Juyuan, the feet are Neilian Sheng, the body is wearing the Eight Great Auspicious, and the waist is wrapped around the Four Great Eternal." Now, people were proud of buying fashionable clothes.
