National Tide 1980.

Chapter 577

On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, the alleys in the capital are filled with the sound of sporadic firecrackers.

They are all small whips played by children, and occasionally there is a second kick, or a marle seed.

Because there is no rhythm and law, listening to the chaos, just like the riots in the capital.

But the houses in the Hutong courtyard are still deserted.

After all, there is no holiday on New Year's Eve this year, and most people still have to stick to their posts.

There are not many people like Ning Weimin who can give themselves a vacation.

It was also because Kang Shude knew that Ning Weimin was busy going to the garden party during the Spring Festival, so he switched shifts with another janitor.

In the second and third grades of junior high school, I have to go to the unit to work for two days in a row, which is in exchange for a day of leisure.

But after three o'clock in the afternoon, the No. 2 courtyard of Fan'er Hutong gradually became lively.

Because the situation of each unit is different, some leaders are more open-minded, so they were released early.

Like Master Luo in the pastry factory, who is sick and the workshop director, no matter how busy the unit is, who cares about him?
In fact, he had dinner with a few old buddies who entered the factory at the same time at noon, and he came back after two o'clock in the afternoon.

As the backbone of the pastry factory, his son Luo Guangsheng had to work hard on the front line for another three hours to produce peach cakes.

The second one to come back was Aunt Bian from the street factory.

Because of her high status and power, the old lady has become the grandma of the street's God of Wealth.

The errands and errands of the neighborhood committee have already been done by the deputy director.

She doesn't care about publicizing fire prevention and theft prevention or mediating conflicts between neighbors today.

The old lady returned home at three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was the first time that she was able to feel at ease, concentrating on her family's New Year's Eve.

After that, Bian Jiangong is the one who returns home.

"Polar Bear" is a good unit. The workers are allowed to work half shift on this day. Everyone comes to the unit this day mainly to have lunch at noon.

They left after eating. The reason why Bian Jiangong didn't come home until four o'clock for the New Year was actually another reason.

It's all to wait for Mu Yueying, whom he likes, to get off work so that they can come home together.

The girl is a childcare worker, so she must wait for the people in the factory to pick up all the children before she can leave work.

In fact, Ning Weimin reckoned that it was almost time in the afternoon, when he planned to go out to pick up "Zhang Dashao" and Sun Wu.

Coincidentally, I just ran into the two of them.

At that time, Ning Weimin was being discharged from the hospital, and the couple had almost reached their doorstep.

They are all wearing "space suits" that have become fashionable this winter.

This kind of puffed cotton fiber clothes is light and warm, but it is bloated and inconvenient to move.

Moreover, the two of them were full of childlike innocence, and they were having a snowball fight in the alley.

That girl threw a snowball majestically and yelled after her.

Pushing his bicycle and carrying a bag full of food and drink, Bian Jiangong ran away like a rout in front.

But if you look at Snowball's slow speed and completely aimless aim.

It is not difficult to see that Bian Jiangong's embarrassment and fear are purely faked, deliberately creating a sense of excitement of chasing, just to tease other girls.

It's a pity that Bian Jiangong ran to the gate of the courtyard and met Ning Weimin unprepared.

As a result, the unexpected encounter made him very embarrassed.

He didn't stop in a daze, and as a result, the kid made a "gudong" sound, and the car leaned against the wall, and the person also slipped onto the ground.

But the more embarrassing thing is yet to come.

Because the girl who is having fun doesn't know what's going on.

Aunt Bian's heartless "Mu Guiying" thought that Bian Jiangong was really afraid and fell down.

Seeing this scene, he actually laughed out loud.

After chasing him, he didn't allow Jiangong to talk, and the snowball in his left hand hit him on the head.

The snowball in his right hand was even more rude, and it was directly stuffed into his neck.

Bian Jiangong seemed to be startled, he yelled "Wow", sat up and rubbed his head and neck.

Then raised his head and shouted, "Oh, I'm so cold, I'm not like you!"

At this moment, the girl turned her head and saw Ning Weimin, and in an instant, she realized what it means to be ashamed.

A look of coquettish anger froze on his face, and he lowered his head in embarrassment.

Ning Weimin was very considerate.

He walked over calmly, then stretched out his hand, and pulled Bian Jiangong up as if nothing happened.

He nodded again, which was regarded as a greeting, and then passed them by.

After walking more than ten meters, I heard the two people behind me muttering and complaining to each other shyly and embarrassingly.

He grinned really unkindly.

Not for anything else, he just felt that "Mu Guiying"'s hands were really strong.

It's not a loss to a heroine to be decisive and not distressed at this point.

No wonder Aunt Bian was not happy.

The old lady probably expected her son to marry this girl, and life after marriage would not be boring.

All in all, Ning Weimin was very happy when he encountered a small episode when he went out.

The more embarrassed Bian Jiangong and the girl felt, the happier he was.

Even he was so happy that he couldn't walk, and he was so tasteless, he bent down and leaned on the wall and laughed.

But what about the old saying?

Don't just look at other people's jokes, you must know that things are unpredictable.

Just listen to "Wei Min, what are you laughing at?"

The current world newspaper, as it is said, it will come.

The voice was familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere before.

Ning Weimin raised his head and turned his face away, and then he saw Huo Xin pushing the bicycle.

Why did Huo Xin appear here?

Ning Weimin could hardly believe his eyes.

Blink, blink, before asking, "Hey, why is it you? What are you doing here?"

"Of course I came to see you..."

"Looking for me?" Ning Weimin opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"Of course. If I don't look for you, who else can I look for? You are the only person I know here."

Ning Weimin stood up straight and walked to a place less than two meters in front of Huo Xin.

I haven't seen each other for a long time, and Huo Xin is wearing a fur coat today.

It was a new dress that Ning Weimin had never seen before. Judging from the texture and style, he could confirm that it should be an imported product.

Especially the fox fur scarf around the neck is extremely bright, like a burning fire.

In addition, Huo Xin is tall and beautiful.

In all fairness, her outfit is a hundred times more beautiful than Mayumi in "Manhunt".

But Ning Weimin said in a calm tone, "What do you want from me?"

This naturally disappointed Huo Xin greatly.

She thought that Ning Weimin would be very excited when he saw her, so he was very enthusiastic.

But Ning Weimin's attitude was not to mention enthusiastic, even the strangers who saw her on the road couldn't match her.

"It's Chinese New Year, I'll come and see you." Huo Xin said, pointing to something stuck in the back seat of the car, "I'll bring you something, try something new."

Ning Weimin recognized the imported chocolate at a glance.

That's it.He also felt Huo Xin's good intentions.

You know, there is still one thing that is lacking this year, which also makes this Spring Festival a lot eclipsed.

That is the favorite chocolate of children.

Due to the shortage of chocolate raw materials in the international market, the price has skyrocketed.

The "Yili" food factory in Beijing is facing a situation where it is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice.

Then there was no other way, and "Yili" had no choice but to strengthen its technical strength and strive to perfect the formula research of cocoa butter substitute.

Fool the mouths of the children of our republic with this chocolate that is not chocolate.

But to be honest, although this fooling is counted in ten years.

However, the manufacturer changed the ingredients of the recipe, not for the purpose of making huge profits, but just to make it affordable for the common people.

What's more, contemporary children's mouths are very poor, and they are very satisfied if they can have a piece of plum candy and fruit candy.

Therefore, there is almost no dissatisfaction with the feedback from the people, but the taste has changed.

After eating for a long time, some people even develop the habit of eating fake chocolate.

So that 30 years later, this kind of cocoa butter substitute will still have a certain market.

It has to be said that deliciousness is sometimes not defined simply by taste, but by memory and habit.
