National Tide 1980.

Just when Ning Weimin and the others were in a taxi, speeding like lightning, they were approaching Dashilan's Fan'er Hutong step by step.

The second daughter of the Mi family, Mi Xiaohui, who was at home during the winter vacation, was stepping on a stool and helping Aunt Bian to hang the national flag at the gate of No. 2 courtyard.

All the neighbors who pass by the No. 2 courtyard will look at this scene freshly.

Like Qiu Zi from No. [-] Courtyard, who just rode a bicycle to Xidan and bought back the Tianfu Haojiang elbow that his mother wanted.

Seeing this scene, I squeezed the gate of the bicycle, stopped and inquired about it.

"I said, Aunt Bian, what are you busy with? Isn't this flag only hung on May [-]st, [-]th, and New Year's Day? Is this a new instruction from above? Do we have to hang up the entire alley?"

"It's your aunt's instruction." The old lady said without turning her head, "It's just hanging in our yard, it has nothing to do with the rest of you."

"Then why is that?" Qiuzi insisted on breaking the casserole and asking the end.

"Why? For the protection of our courtyard and the people. He took the plane this afternoon and came back from Japan to celebrate the New Year. Do you understand? I don't think this door is too clean. Well, let's hang a national flag, too. It's kind of welcome."

This made the ball amused at once.

"Hey, that's all. Is it worth taking such a serious matter? If you don't say it, I thought some head of state would come to our alley for a visit. Ning Weimin is the only one who dares to do it. What did he do in the past? The one from the hotel later went to a foreign company, didn’t you? I’m surprised, it’s fine to say that other people worship foreigners. You said that the big manager of Pilkardon Company, who even pays foreign exchange certificates for his salary, stays in China How comfortable. Why are you also running outside to make a fuss? Still going to Japan? The moon in Japan is so round? Hey, Auntie Bian, take a look. This side is hung up, but the other side is still empty, why don’t you stop Hang a plaster flag for him..."

"Paint, plaster flag? You brat. Who are you going to play the cymbal with?"

Aunt Bian felt that it was not acceptable, "Don't be silly all the time, kid. If you talk nonsense like this again, don't blame Auntie for putting a plaster on your mouth."

"Ouch. My auntie, what are you doing? What did I say about me?"

"Why not. Is our courtyard Weimin worshiping foreigners? He went out to start a business and earn foreign exchange for our country. He has a high level of ideological awareness. You think you are like a kid, and you don't even know it when you study. If you read it carefully, you will know how to eat and drink. Let me tell you, Qiuzi, if you have a conscience, you shouldn’t say this. Go back and ask your mother, who helped your family open the small shop in the first place? No one guards the people, you have half the fat and water in your belly, how can you grow so tall? And the toilets in our alleys are also planned by the guards. Otherwise, you still have to squat in the dirt today The stinky hut..."

All words are good words, but good words are not pleasant to listen to.

Qiuzi is a rebellious age, and the most annoying person is himself.

Even if his own mother said this, he would have to stalk his neck.

It's a good move, Qingpi committed a crime.

"Hey, aunt, there is something wrong with your political stance. Why are you still helping the comprador class? You forgot what you usually said, only the laborers are the most honorable! Cut, borrow him What happened to the money? It’s not that he didn’t pay him back! There’s nothing wrong with him in the toilet. It’s obviously paid for by our street. Let me remind you, I’ve been doing revolutionary work for half my life, and I’m getting old. Don't make this kind of mistake. If you don't make it right, you'll lose your life at the end of the day..."

After running on the old lady, he pedaled away, and had to blow a kiss to the old lady when he left.

"Goodbye."

Aunt Bian was so angry that she pointed at his back and scolded him.

"Hey, you little thing. Are you going to challenge your aunt! I have to talk to your mother later!"

Mi Xiaohui, who was "captured as a strong man", suppressed a smile while beating and drumming.

"That's right, Aunt Bian, you must look for it. Mommy Qiu must give this kid a broomstick..."

Just as he was doing this, Master Mi, who was about to go to the bathroom, came out of the courtyard.

I also listened to a few words just now, and when I saw my daughter gloating, I immediately taught a few words.

"Hey, what's the matter with you girl? You're not afraid of small things when you watch the excitement..."

Mi Xiaohui immediately felt wronged.

"Dad, you don't know. This ball is just like his name, he is a vicious and smoking bastard. He secretly pulled out my valve core twice at school. If it wasn't for the alley, I would have asked Brother Liangzi to clean up He..."

Well, there is a feud between co-authors.

Master Mi shook his head, and he didn't bother to deal with the bullshit between the children, so he only advised Aunt Bian.

"His aunt, don't get angry with these children. It's not worth it if you get angry. You are still at the age of four or six. Don't worry, you just wait. When it's time for him to find a job. You See if he is in a hurry, sooner or later he will beg you..."

This is absolutely true, and the old lady was very happy when she said it.

"That's right, in our alley, isn't it only Weimin who is capable. Besides him, who else can't rely on the organization?"

Just these few words made Mi Xiaohui unhappy again. "Auntie, what are you talking about? Why did you forget about my sister!"

"That's right, and your sister. Your sister Xiaoran is also promising. Didn't your mother say that she was admitted to a university in the United States. We didn't expect to have a college student studying abroad."

Aunt Bian would go back and make amends. "Weimin and Xiaoran are two children from our No. 2 courtyard. One boy and one girl, one Japanese and one American, they are quite capable. I think our courtyard is good at Fengshui and specializes in talents. Hui'er, from now on you Also go to a foreign university, just like your sister, go abroad. I think Britain, France, Germany, Italy are all good. At that time, our courtyard will have a sense of the United Nations..."

This remark was enjoyed by the Mi family father and daughter.

At this time, at the entrance of the alley far away, a taxi honked its horn and drove into the alley.

No need to ask, just at this point, there is no one else who can come in such a car.

"I'm coming!"

After making a clear judgment, Aunt Bian hurriedly assigned tasks.

While urging Mi Xiaohui to get off the stool quickly, and went into the yard to call people from house to house, at the same time, she turned her head and told Master Mi.

"Excuse me, when you get back to the courtyard, hurry up and tell our Jianjun first, and ask him to come out with firecrackers. There must be some movement when people get out of the car, right?"

Master Mi also knew that time was running out, and he was not in a hurry to go to the toilet, so he immediately turned his head and went to share the news with his daughter.

So I really waited until Ning Weimin's car drove to the gate of No. 2 courtyard.

What he saw was a completely unexpected, very moving, but also a bit ironic scene.

Before the car stopped, he saw Master Luo, Aunt Luo holding her grandson, Aunt Bian, Bian Jianjun, and Master Mi waiting at the gate of the courtyard from the car window.

Moreover, people from the No. 2 courtyard continued to leave.Uncle Bian is holding the hand of his little grandson, and Aunt Mi is holding Mi Xiaohui on her arm.

It is entirely conceivable that all the neighbors who are still at home should have come out.

The most amazing thing is that the moment the car door opened, Luo Guangliang got out of the car first, and Bian Jianjun lit a firecracker.

Crack it - sparks fly!The smoke filled the air!

Those who knew that Ning Weimin was welcome to go home, but those who didn't know that they thought they were going to marry him a wife!

So with this embarrassing honor, Ning Weimin got out of the car a little embarrassed.

Nothing else, I can't even take care of the luggage, so hurry up and call someone.

"Aunt Bian, Uncle Bian, why don't you two rest in the house? This etiquette is out of order, it's time for me to visit your two elders to say hello and New Year's greetings!" Ning Weimin greeted the oldest one first.

"Hey, what's the matter. We can't commit heretics. I knew you were coming back, so I was looking forward to today. Come back, come back! Seeing you, I feel relieved."

Uncle Bian's hair has turned gray again, but his spirit is still hale and hearty.

"Master Luo, Aunt Luo, both of you are in good health? Why did you startle me? I'm really sorry."

Ning Weimin knew that Master Luo's waist was bad, and he was tired from the cold, so he really couldn't bear it.

But Master Luo laughed loudly, it seemed that he was much better than before he left.

"It's good, it's good. Both of us are very good. Weimin, we don't need to be polite. You can stay longer this time when you come back. Look for a day later and go to my place, my father and I Have a good drink."

"That's for sure. I'll find a day to do nothing, just drink with you."

"Okay, then we can talk about it. Let me also see how your kid is doing with his drinking."

In the end, of course, it was the Mi family's turn.

"Master Mi, Aunt Mi, ouch, and Hui'er, when I'm not around, I'm sure you will be there to take care of me at home, thank you so much."

Aunt Mi and Master Mi are also more polite than the other.

"Oh, what's the point? We're just living under a wall. Isn't it right to take care of each other?"

"Wei Min, are you exhausted from this trip? It's cold outside, don't be too polite, go back to the house quickly. I'll tell you, don't look at this old Kang who is putting on airs and won't come out, but his mind has already gone outside. If you want to make him wait anxiously, he will blow his beard and stare when he returns..."

It was hard to finish the greetings one by one, Ning Weimin of course wanted to go home quickly and reunite with Kang Shude.

But the problem is that he really can't do that right now.

Because it's okay not to get off the car, this time I get off the car and set off firecrackers again.

The gate of the No. 2 courtyard was unknowingly surrounded by the neighbors, and gradually, it was like a scene of a star coming here.

At this moment, besides the neighbors who came out first in the No. 2 courtyard, many neighbors in other courtyards also came out to watch the excitement under the cheers of the children in the alley.

So out of emotion and reason, Ning Weimin had to say a few polite words to everyone.

In this way, acquaintances who name each other say hello, smoke a cigarette, and half-familiar faces also have to smile and nod.

In the end, I couldn't help but fist up, thank you again for your warm welcome, and wish the neighbors a new year.

In fact, it was completely different from the sarcastic remarks made by Qiuzi just now.

The feedback from these neighbors is full of friendly greetings and good-natured jokes.

A Dasou who was holding a child said, "Oh, big brother, why did you wear a military coat when you came back from Japan? Hey, it was played on TV. Shouldn't they wear a suit and coat?"

Another sister-in-law said, "What's wrong with wearing a military overcoat? That's handsome. Japanese are all short, don't you know? Among 1 people, you can't find such a good figure."

Heizi, who was pulling three rounds, looked at the luggage Luo Guangliang and Xiaotao were carrying, stuffed a freshly received Qixing into his ear with one hand, and yelled with his thumb in the other hand.

"Wei Min, you're doing well this time, boy. You brought back four big boxes in one trip, and you're well developed! They're all Japanese electrical appliances..."

The chubby aunt who introduced Luo Guangliang's partner seemed to have the foresight of a prophet.

"I said, what kind of Japanese electrical appliances are you buying! Such a handsome young man, he should bring back a Japanese daughter-in-law to our fan alley to be the right one..."

This remark immediately caused a burst of laughter.

Why is everyone so nice?
Hi, actually this is easy to understand.

On the one hand, the country's economic development momentum is now booming, and last year, the wages of enterprises and institutions in Beijing generally increased.

In the new year, everyone has more money in their pockets, and the supply of materials has also been further enriched.

I was in a good mood at first, so I was willing to tease me.

On the other hand, Ning Weimin is also really good.

He is handsome and well-dressed, and he is not only the kind of person who makes people feel good just by looking at him.

Moreover, he started by picking up junk, worked as a hotel front desk, and finally became an elite of a foreign company.

It is also spread nearby, and many people know it, which is quite inspirational.

It can be said that in the entire Meishi Street and even in the Dashilan area, he is now more famous and more popular than Yin Shengxi, the founder of "Big Bowl of Tea".

Whoever wants to be a neighbor with him, a neighbor, will naturally feel special face.

Of course, the most important thing is that the so-called hero protects the three villages. On the contrary, it is the shortest to eat people, and the shortest to take people.

You know, the production company that Ning Weimin prepared for Meishi Street has a large number of manual workers who can outsource whether it is clothing sewing or handicraft manufacturing.

Therefore, the neighbors in Meishi Street, especially in Fan'er Hutong, have gained a lot of glory just because they live here.

Relying on these casual jobs, they live a much better life than other ordinary people in the capital.

Some families can even earn one or two more wages.

In this day and age, that is the essential gap.

So drinking water and thinking about the source, who wouldn't be willing to cheer at this time and say something nice?

It also naturally reflects Ning Weimin's "good popularity".

In short, after a long time of friendly and polite greetings, Ning Weimin finally walked into the long-lost home.

This feeling of revisiting the old place and returning home is far better than he imagined.

Because it is not so philistine, not so practical, and full of simple human feelings and mutual understanding.

Especially the neighbors in No. 2 Courtyard are really real to him.

The saying "a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor" is true for them.

This is probably the unique charm of the 80s.

As for the neighbors in the neighborhood, seeing Ning Weimin returning home, they were all envious.

The people waiting in No. 2 courtyard embraced Ning Weimin and entered the courtyard.

After many people left, they couldn't help praising Ning Weimin's ability and character in private.

Don't look like a child without parents, don't look like a junior high school graduate.

But how many unexpected things have been done, things that ordinary people can't do!

Donate cultural relics, send jobs, enter foreign companies, open Tangong Restaurant!
I heard that the modeling contest was all this kid's idea!

Now, he actually went to Japan!
When he came back, he didn't put on airs, didn't take candy, and was so kind to everyone.

Everything is top-notch, always walk in front of others!
I heard that he is also proficient in two foreign languages!

So without exception, everyone attributed the reason to the good Feng Shui of No. 2 Courtyard.
