Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 385 The Ballroom
Ballroom dancing in the 80s can be said to have set off a huge upsurge across the country.

For the era when entertainment life was relatively poor, everyone from the unit leaders to the ordinary workers was very keen on this kind of activity.

At that time, in Daxing, as long as it was a slightly larger unit, such a dance would be held. This was not for the pure love of ballroom dancing, but a social movement organized by the superiors.

At that time, the country advocated ballroom dancing, which was actually a need to set things right.

The masses are deeply influenced by leftist ideas, and some people don't quite understand how to set things right.Therefore, we must let everyone see the benefits and be happy.

One way is to eat meat and fine grains, the quality of life will be improved, and the change will be obvious.

Another way is to improve the cultural life of the masses. Everyone dances, both men and women go, which means that the whole country goes, and they support it when they are happy.

At the same time, it is also to set things right in the field of culture.

Therefore, it can be said that the craze for ballroom dancing in the 80s was an important measure taken by the Party Central Committee to bring order out of chaos. The great development and prosperity of the country's culture definitely required ballroom dancing.

Duan Yun is not very interested in these national affairs, he attended this ball today only for Cheng Qingyan.

Driving his somewhat damaged jeep, Duan Yun came to the air defense dance hall of the factory soon.

At this time, there were a few people from the factory security department standing at the gate of the civil air defense, guarding there with a red armband.

Since dancing last year caused a gang fight between the gear factory and the No. [-] Power Construction Company, the factory stopped holding ballroom dances for a while, and it was not reorganized until after the Chinese New Year this year. Only the work permits of factory workers can enter, and people from other factories are no longer allowed to enter.

Duan Yun is a celebrity in the factory, and he was let in by a few people from the security department at the door without taking out his work permit.

After walking down the stairs at the entrance to the basement, a gust of warm wind blows in the face. The underground air defense is still quite warm, forming a contrast with the slightly cold weather outside, and suddenly there is a feeling of summer.

When he walked to the entrance of the civil air defense hall, Duan Yun was a little surprised by the scene in front of him. The huge civil air defense ballroom was already crowded with people, most of them were young men and women from the factory, all of them were dressed in bright and fashionable clothes, flared trousers, and denim shirts , many female workers have also permed the most popular wave curls. They wear overcoats, and after taking them off, they are all one-piece long skirts. high heels.

At this time, the dance has not officially started, and the benches on both sides are already full of people, as if arranged in advance, the male employees are sitting on the left side of the hall, while the female employees are sitting on the right side, each of them is standing upright, The three of them were whispering and laughing at each other, but their eyes all turned to the opposite side...

And when Duan Yun appeared at the entrance of the ballroom, he immediately attracted everyone's attention, especially the eyes of the female workers opposite. Many female workers even looked at Duan Yun with a bit of fiery eyes.

Duan Yun is a celebrity in the factory, a college student, a model worker in the factory, and the deputy chief engineer. He lives in a new house with two bedrooms and one living room at home. Be worthy of the name of the factory 'tall rich handsome'.

Moreover, Duan Yun's clothes today are indeed quite eye-catching. Young workers these days are mainly dressed in green military uniforms and Chinese tunic suits, but Duan Yun is wearing a suit made of very good fabrics today, with shiny leather shoes and hairstyles. Duan Yun Originally, he was quite energetic, but today's outfit made him look very handsome, which naturally attracted the fiery eyes of almost all young girls.

"Brother Duan!"

"Manager Duan is here."

At this time, when several young workers saw Duan Yun, they immediately greeted him with smiles all over their faces.

Basically, these young workers used to work in the same workshop as Duan Yun, and they were not familiar with each other, but they could still call each other by name.

Duan Yun's status is not what it used to be now, he is already the leader of the big group, and these young workers also know that Duan Yun is doing a good job outside, so seeing Duan Yun's arrival, they all approached him one after another, hoping In the future, I will have the opportunity to find him to do errands or work part-time to earn some extra money.

"Brother Duan smokes!"

"fire!"

Several young workers immediately handed Duan Yun cigarettes and lit them up, and then began to inquire about Duan Yun's current business outside and the situation in the collective.

Duan Yun has always kept a low profile when doing business, but the young workers who followed him, Lei Zi Cui Lin and others, were not as scruples as Duan Yun.

In the past few months, these young workers have earned many times higher than the factory's wages, and their food and clothing are very good. Occasionally, they will brag when they meet former colleagues, so the factory knows about Duan Yun's business. There are more and more people making money, especially the small apprentices in the same workshop as Duan Yun. At the beginning, they and Cui Linleizi both earned the same meager wages, and their families were also poor, but now they see Cui Linlei They all rode brand-new permanent bicycles, wore shiny plum watches, and went to restaurants to drink from time to time. It would be nonsense to say that they were not envious, so these young workers also wanted to join Duan Yun. It can taste delicious and drink spicy food.

In fact, Duan Yun really needs to expand the manpower of the workshop at present, but he does not recruit people casually. Will not consider.

While Duan Yun was talking with these young workers, soft music sounded in the hall, and the dance had officially started.

Young men and women these days are relatively conservative, and many of them are participating in the dance organized by the factory for the first time, so most of them are a little reluctant to let go, and those who go to dance sporadically are male employees and male employees, and female employees. Employees and female employees have never danced together.

But that quickly changed.

In fact, when the male and female employees on both sides were sitting on both sides, their eyes were not idle. On the surface, they were just chatting with the colleagues next to them, but in fact they were all looking at the girl and the guy opposite from the corner of their eyes.

If there is someone who looks right, the female staff will use their eyes to give some hints, and the male staff is also looking for the girl they like. Then you can take the initiative to attack.

During the first dance song, there were only a few people dancing on the dance floor, but when the second song was about to start, someone on the male worker's side had already stood up and even offered to invite the girl opposite to dance.

At this time, Cheng Qingyan was sitting in the middle of the female worker's back row. Today she was wearing a beige blazer with a white turtleneck sweater inside. She has a fair face, red lips, and combed hair like a waterfall. Draped on the shoulders, it still looks so beautiful and moving.

Even though she was sitting in the back row, Cheng Qingyan was still the focus of attention of all the male workers. At this time, six or seven male workers who had mustered up their courage came forward to invite her to dance together, but she politely refused them all.

In fact, Cheng Qingyansa had already seen Duan Yun coming, and seeing that Duan Yun was still chatting with those young workers at this time, disappointment flashed across her clear eyes...
