National Tide 1980.

Chapter 90

From time immemorial to the present, we have all been looking forward to the harmony and coexistence of the world.

This is the philosophy that our civilization has held for thousands of years.

In fact, it is similar to the meaning of Westerners crying every day to eliminate hunger and maintain world peace.

In essence, it is hoped that happiness is not the enjoyment of an independent unit, but should become the common feeling of all mankind.

It's a pity that everyone knows that this wish, no matter how good it is, is a bit unrealistic.

It's just an idealized goal we set for ourselves.

There are always differences in the objective world, which is the truth that remains unchanged through the ages.

There will never be, nor can there be, anything exactly the same in this world.

Especially between people, the difference is not to be underestimated.

Even if they live in the same era and live in the same city.

They belong to the same class and have the same family background.

In the same unit, doing the same job.

Even two people of the same age and of the same gender will still have vastly different fortunes.

Such typical examples are Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui.

Because just when Ning Weimin was living a smooth life and completely resolved his financial problems, he made great strides in realizing financial freedom.

On the contrary, Zhang Shihui felt a lot of pressure because of the economic problem, and was in a predicament that was almost desperate.

So what's going on?

I'm afraid all of this has to start with the National Day holiday.

Dare to love was on the day that Ning Weimin attended Bian Jianjun's wedding. In fact, Zhang Shihui and his girlfriend Liu Weijing were also attending another wedding.

The bride of this wedding is Wang Lin, a female classmate Liu Weijing's better in high school.

Now he is a salesperson at Chongwenmen Market.

The groom is an intern photographer of Dabei Photo Studio, named Huang Shuping.

Originally, Zhang Shihui was quite relaxed when she went there on this day.

This is not only because he and Liu Weijing prepared a decent gift.

The two spent ten yuan to buy a set of thirty cutlery.

This is very interesting and should be taken seriously.

Also because they both have their own affairs in mind, and want to see how other people's weddings are done.

As a result, I didn't expect that I wanted to learn from others, so I had a direction to work hard.

But after going, the horizons were opened, but instead, both of them suffered a heavy mental shock.

Especially Zhang Shihui, became particularly sluggish.

Because they didn't think that the whole process of the wedding they witnessed was too grand.

If people feel that it is difficult to catch up, it will have the opposite effect.

On this day, red peony is placed on the cigarette, and the candy is all colorful foreign candy.

Although the wedding banquet was held by borrowing a canteen restaurant of a unit, the scene was very large.

A full twenty tables were set up, and it is conceivable how many people went there that day.

It was a full five cars that picked up the kiss. The groom was actually wearing a suit, and the bride was also wearing a pink dress.

During the ceremony, the groom's gift to the bride in public was a small gold radar watch.

There is no doubt that these are quite rare pomp at the time.

So much so that when Zhang Shihui and Liu Weijing gave the gifts they brought to the groom's cousin.

There is absolutely no sense of glory that they imagined at the beginning.

On the contrary, it made both of them feel inexplicably a little empty, and an idea came up at the same time.

If I knew it earlier, I should have spent an extra five yuan to buy a set of 36 heads, maybe that would be more decent...

After the banquet, the pomp on the wine table was even more astonishing.

This day, I drank the Shuanggou Daqu of Yishuier, and each table also had four bottles of Beijing white beer and ten bottles of "Polar Bear" soda.

The dishes served are six cool and eight hot soup, not only chicken, duck and fish, but also two dishes that everyone rarely eats.

One is dry roasted prawns, and the other is mustard duck feet.

Therefore, the focus of many people's attention is how the small bones in the duck's feet are picked out one by one.

In short, it is completely different from the banquet held at home by ordinary people, and I feel stylish and rich!

There are even people who are good at writing mathematics, secretly calculating, saying that this wedding banquet will never be able to be held without 800 yuan.

This was an astronomical figure at the time.

Therefore, in such a scene, it is not only Zhang Shihui and Liu Weijing who are shocked and puzzled, but there must be many other guests who feel the same as them.

There was a lot of discussion, and many people suspected that the bride and groom were involved in the famine in order to show off.

Although the scenery is temporary, there will be some in the future.

However, when the glass was changed on the wine table and the atmosphere was lively, another accurate news came out, which suddenly overturned everyone's doubts.

According to the relatives of the groom, it is said that the Huang family has overseas connections.

The groom's uncle just returned to the mainland from Hong Kong City to visit relatives in the first half of the year. He knew that his nephew was going to get married, so he covered all the expenses.

Even the speaker said that this wedding is nothing.What really matters is what's in the wedding room.

This is indeed true, because the wedding room is really too dreamy.

Although the two small bungalows for the newlyweds are not well oriented, they are upside-down children's rooms, commonly known as the east is not warm and the summer is not cool.

But strong is strong, modern home appliances are readily available.

Large color TV, refrigerator, washing machine, four-speaker tape recorder, electric fan, pressure kettle, all are available.

And almost all of them are imported brands, just like a foreign trade electrical appliance fair.

The furniture is equally stylish, with galvanized folding chairs, folding round tables, large glass coffee tables, and real red leather sofas.

Coupled with a floor lamp and velvet curtains, there were no large wedding photos in a wedding dress in those days.

Let this wedding room look more advanced than the best room in the Wenmen Hotel.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is a model room that can satisfy contemporary youth, so the dream of family modernization.

It has completely broken away from the old model of 36 legs and three turns and one sound.

That is epoch-making progress.

I believe that no matter who it is, as long as you are here, you will feel that it is impossible for the master to lack anything.

You would think that such a home is the ultimate pursuit of a couple.

Only such a home can be worthy of the happiness of the newlyweds.

Think about it, how did Zhang Shihui and Liu Weijing feel?

It's really a little dizzy, my eyes are dizzy, and I don't know where to look.

Perhaps, this uncomfortable feeling is called wealth and wealth.

And after that, there are even more embarrassing things.

Because the bride and groom are definitely busy people today, they have too many people to entertain, and too many people to come to see the new house.

Zhang Shihui and Liu Weijing were not allowed to take a good look at the decorations, and a large group of people rushed in soon after.

These people may be the groom's classmates, all of them are familiar with the posture of making a bridal chamber.

As soon as they swarmed up, they surrounded the newlyweds tightly, and you joked with me one by one.

Not only did the people who were originally in the house have nowhere to stay, but they were squeezed to the side and had to rush out of the house first.

Some people even started to brag about it, bringing the bride and groom to the sky.

But these words were unheard of in Zhang Shihui's ears.

Because according to the words of the master, if people who can't afford these household appliances are not qualified to get married at all.

So when I got home from the wedding that day, the road was completely the opposite of when I came.

Zhang Shihui and Liu Weijing have been stimulated all day, and for some reason they are a little bit less interested.

My heart is sour and I don't want to talk.

For a long time, Zhang Shihui cursed, "Damn."

Seeing Liu Weijing looking at him in surprise, he quickly explained.

"I'm not talking about your classmates, I'm talking about the last few boys with stinky feet. What are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf? You get a few good cigarettes to smoke, and you get two packs of foreign candy, just licking the ditch like that. What do you mean when you look at the new house and feel like your life is boring? People live to have so many appliances?"

Liu Weijing could talk, of course, the girl could see why Zhang Shihui was not happy, but she pretended not to know.

"Hey, aren't some people just like that? You know them in general? We, we don't need to compare ourselves to them when we want to get married. I don't want to be a high-priced girl like that in the comics."

"What a set of furniture with a sofa, the second elder is in charge of looking after the doll, three turns and one button to add color, four seasons clothes hair card, unparalleled leather shoes someone to polish, six relatives do not recognize the professional Gu family, more than 70 yuan is better, slick and talkative, alcohol and cigarettes are not allowed If you don't drink tea, you're very satisfied and anxious...that's still a normal person."

"Besides, what kind of skill is it to live on overseas relationships? We don't even rely on our parents. It's all up to us. We can't make it all at once, but we'll make it slowly. Anyway, we can make it all one day. I On the contrary, do you think that is the only way to be interesting? Every day is different, and it is boring to have to do it in one step."

These words moved Zhang Shihui very much, and the understanding girl always has a kind of beauty that touches people's hearts.

Sharing weal and woe is the highest realm of emotional pursuit.

He couldn't help holding his girlfriend's hand and confirmed with a happy tone.

"Weijing, do you really think so?"

Beautiful big eyes are especially pure.

"Of course. Don't you think so?"

"I...I..." Zhang Shihui was amused and took out a cigarette.

"I was thinking, I have to buy a color TV first. I can wait for the rest. At least we have to get a big one before we get married, so I won't lose to you. What do you think?"

After walking for a while, without getting a response, Zhang Shihui turned to look at Liu Weijing and found that she was in a trance.

"Hey, Wei Jing."

"Ok?"

"What's the matter? What about Shenyouwuwai?"

"Hey, think about something."

"What do you think?"

"I... think about that watch, and the gold watch with Wang Lin, it's so beautiful. It turned out that when she was in school, her family was in a very bad situation, and she ate pickles every day. I didn't expect that she has become a rich man now. She's pretty good. Blessed..."

"..."

This time it was Zhang Shihui's turn to be speechless.

His mood changed again, and he took a deep breath.
