Counterattack 1988

Chapter 33 Are Your Parents Fierce?

When Wang Lin returned home, Li Wenxiu came back from get off work and was cooking with Li Wenjuan.

After dinner, Wang Lin stayed at home for a while and checked the time. It was almost seven o'clock, so he said to Li Wenxiu, "I have something to go out for."

Li Wenxiu said: "Yo? Are you wearing a new suit? Are you going to see Assistant Zhou?"

"Yes!" Wang Lin replied without hesitation.

Li Wenxiu choked, bit her lip, and stopped talking.

Li Wenjuan asked curiously: "Who is Assistant Zhou? Male or female?"

Li Wenxiu said: "Don't ask! It has nothing to do with you!"

Li Wenjuan didn't ask any more questions, and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, you look so handsome in this new dress!"

Wang Lin smiled and went out humming a song: "Young friends, let's meet..."

He didn't ride his bike either, and walked slowly to the entrance of the cinema.

Those movies are still shown in the cinema.

There are not many movies in this era, and a good movie can even be shown for a year.

Wang Lin was bored, staring at those colorful movie posters.

A hand tapped lightly on his shoulder.

Then, before he could turn around, his eyes were blindfolded.

Those hands were cool, with a slight fragrance.

"Guess who I am!" came a sweet voice.

"Zhou Congee!" Wang Lin laughed, "I smell you."

Zhou Conge let go of his hand, and said dejectedly: "It's boring to guess right."

Wang Lindao: "I am so familiar with you, if I can't guess you right, then it will be boring!"

After hearing this, Zhou Porridge felt that this was the reason, and became happy again: "Follow me."

"Where to go?"

"Go to my house!"

"To your house?"

"Why such a big reaction? You stopped borrowing money?"

"borrow!"

"Let's go then."

Wang Lin smiled and said, "How much can you lend me?"

"Fifty thousand. Is it enough?"

"Enough, enough! I didn't expect that your family is so rich!"

"Hee hee! Not much! My grandparents saved some money, my parents also saved some money, my brother and my sister all saved some money, and I asked them to borrow it all!"

Wang Lin rubbed his hands, hehe laughed and said, "I really don't know how to thank you!"

At the beginning, he also had the mentality of giving it a try, borrowing as much as he could.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Porridge could borrow so much money!
This simply made him overjoyed, but also a little apprehensive!
Wang Lin asked, "Assistant Zhou, what do your family members do?"

"Serve the people!" Zhou Porridge grinned, "Your suit is not bad, it looks a bit like a cadre."

"Bought a new one!" Wang Lin said with a smile, "For business, you must have a decent set of clothes to support your appearance."

The two talked and laughed, and walked to a row of new buildings.

Wang Lin had been here before, and he was stunned: "Isn't this the cadre dormitory of the district government? This is a newly built unit building, and the room has a new-style house with a kitchen and bathroom!"

"Well, yes!" Zhou Congee said, "Let's go, don't just stand there!"

Wang Lin asked calmly, "Zhou Congee, tell me the truth, who are your parents?"

Zhou Congee said with a playful smile, "My father is a man, and my mother is a woman!"

Wang Lin smiled helplessly: "I mean, what are their jobs? Are they employees of the district government?"

Zhou Porridge bit his lip and said, "Who is my family and what's the difference? Why do you care so much about this?"

"I don't mean anything else, I have to know, right? It's not good if you make a fool of yourself." Wang Lin said, "If you don't tell me, I won't enter your house."

Zhou Congee stopped hiding from him: "My father is the deputy head of the district, and my mother is the director of the worker's hospital in our factory. Also, Zhou Boqiang, the director of our factory, is my cousin."

Wang Lin was dumbfounded.

Zhou Congee said: "My grandfather retired to the second line and works in the Municipal People's Congress. My grandma used to work in the district education committee, and she has completely retired."

Wang Lin: "..."

Zhou Congee said: "My brother works in the Construction Committee. My sister works in the Daily News and is a reporter. What else do you want to ask? Do you want me to dig out the household registration book and show you?"

"No, no need!" Wang Lin replied with difficulty.

Oh my god!
What kind of family is this!

No wonder she can take out [-] yuan in treasury bills and lend [-] yuan in cash!

When Wang Lin thought of kissing her in the movie theater last time, he could not help but squeeze a cold sweat in his hands!
If she really cares about it, then he can't bear it!
Fortunately for Wang Lin, he finally stopped the car and didn't do anything to her!
"Let's go! Why are you standing there?" Zhou Porridge took his hand and walked into the community.

"Are your parents fierce?"

"Not fierce, just like me!"

"It's over, it's so fierce! I still don't want to go?" Wang Lin turned to leave.

"Wang Lin! Come back to me! Am I that fierce?" Zhou Congee was very angry at first, but when he saw his playful smile, he realized that he was teasing her, and stomped his foot and said, "I hate you! tease me!"

Wang Lin giggled and followed her inside.

The buildings in the community are not high, the highest is seven floors.

There was a sentry box at the door, and the guard inside looked at the people passing by with a blank expression.

Zhou Porridge led Wang Lin to the bottom of a building, entered the corridor, and went up to the third floor.

Zhou Porridge brought the key with him, opened the door and went in.

Wang Lin thought to himself, since it is here, let it be at ease, took a deep breath, and walked in.

The interior is decorated with a very new style. In a trance, Wang Lin thought he was back in the 21st century!
In the living room, there was a set of very trendy fabric sofas, on which four people sat, and there were also people sitting on the single sofas on both sides of the coffee table.

A wonderful program is playing on the color TV.

Between the coffee table and the TV cabinet, there are two low stools.

Wang Lin didn't expect that Zhou Porridge's family members were all there!

He suddenly felt a coercion that he had never felt before!
As soon as Zhou Porridge entered, he smiled and said, "Dad, Wang Lin is here!"

The young men and women on both sides stood up and smiled towards Wang Lin.

According to their respective ages and looks, Wang Lin knew their respective identities.

The two old men with gray hair and kind faces were Zhou Congee's grandparents.

The old man, Zhou Jinsheng, has a thin body, and the black tunic suit looks fat on his body.

Grandma Qin Guizhen, wearing a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, has silver curly hair all over her head, and has an intellectual temperament all over her body.

A middle-aged couple in their fifties are Zhou Congee's parents.

Zhou Hanmin is wearing a gray Chinese tunic suit with a combed back hair, a Chinese character face, and big earlobes.

Wearing a knitted cardigan and short ear-length hair is Qian Yuying.

Wang Lin met Qian Yuying in the worker's hospital, but he didn't know her before.

The young man is Zhou Jun, Zhou Porridge's older brother, who is not a few years older than Wang Lin. He only wears a solid shirt and military trousers. Absolutely, it looks like he should have returned from being a soldier.

Sister Zhou Xia is thin, about [-] meters tall, somewhat similar to Zhou Congee, the difference is that she wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses, smiles before she speaks, and has a gentle demeanor, and her lips are thin, giving people a very The feeling of being clever and very good at talking.

"Hello, Comrade Wang Lin!" Zhou Xia was the first to speak, "I've heard you famous for a long time!"

Wang Lin couldn't figure it out, it must be that Zhou Porridge was talking about herself at home when she had nothing to do, and I don't know if she said good things or bad things?
"Grandpa Zhou, Grandma, Uncle Zhou, Auntie, Brother Zhou, Sister Zhou!" Wang Lin shouted one by one.

"Puchi!" Seeing him shouting tongue twisters, Zhou Porridge couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, okay, come and sit." The Zhou family greeted him together.

Qian Yuying told her daughter: "Zhou Congee, don't smirk, go make tea."

Wang Lin said: "I'm not thirsty."

Zhou Congee smiled and said, "When you come to my house, you have to drink even if you're not thirsty."

Zhou Hanmin said: "Xiao Jun, go get some wine!"

Zhou Jun got up to get the wine, Zhou Xia didn't wait for orders, and brought a few pots of fried peanuts, fried melon seeds, and fruits, as well as a plate of peanuts and a plate of cold pig's ears.

Wang Lin saw that these were prepared long ago. Could it be that this was specially prepared to entertain him?
What can He De He can?
Shame on you!
Zhou Jun took four cups, a bottle of Moutai, and several bottles of iced soda.

The atmosphere suddenly became lively. Although Wang Lin was a stranger, he felt no strangeness when he was with them!

The Zhou family, whether they are officials or leaders, all have no airs!
This made Wang Lin flattered.

"Come on, Comrade Wang Lin, have a drink!" Zhou Hanmin raised his glass and smiled at Zhou Jinsheng, "Dad, you have a drink too."

Zhou Jinsheng looked at his wife, Qin Guizhen, and said with a smile, "Isn't it an exaggeration to have a glass of wine with my little comrade today?"

Qin Guizhen smiled and said, "Just drink it! Ask me!"

Everyone laughed.

Wang Lin hadn't felt such a warm family atmosphere for a long time, his eyes were sore, and he felt an urge to cry.

After drinking for three rounds, Zhou Hanmin suddenly asked: "Comrade Wang Lin, I heard that you already knew that prices would rise?"

Wang Lin was taken aback, thinking that Zhou Porridge must have told her family about how she hoarded eggs to make money.That's why Zhou Hanmin asked this question now. The other party is an official, so he has to deal with it well, and he can't be fooled!

"It can't be said that I knew it a long time ago. I just have a premonition." Wang Lin said carefully.

"Oh? What kind of foresight? Can you talk to us? Just talk casually." Zhou Hanmin asked.

Wang Lindao: "my country's dual-track price has caused economic chaos to a certain extent. I believe that the country will definitely make up its mind to break through the price barrier."

He said eloquently that under the condition of dual-track prices, as a manufacturer, he will always try his best to produce less planned products with lower prices and more unplanned products with higher prices. Products sold at high prices in the market, therefore, some contracts within the scope of the plan could not be completed.

As a user, they will do everything possible to buy more planned products, less unplanned products, and use various means to arbitrage purchases of planned products.

In this way, the market price impacts the national plan and often makes the plan come to nothing; the existence of the planned price hinders the normal functioning of the market.

The result of the friction and collision between the two-track prices is that both prices work, and neither works effectively.The plan is out of control, and the market mechanism is not working.

Some people who have the right to allocate raw materials in the plan can easily make a lot of money as long as they approve a note and sell you dozens of tons of steel, and then you sell it at the market price.Tiaozi is worth a thousand dollars.The greater the price difference between the two tracks, the more valuable the note is, and the higher the value of the person who can approve the note.

This kind of person is the so-called "bad man".

Wang Lin dared to speak, and the Zhou family dared to listen.

Wang Lin spoke seriously, and the Zhou family also listened seriously.

Wang Lin continued: "Korea and RB have all gone through the painful period like ours. If they have succeeded in breaking through the price barrier, then we will also succeed. This year will be a key year for price breakthrough. The price rise in our country is only temporary. Yes, after the state's regulation, it will definitely stabilize. Our country's GDP this year will reach more than 11%!"

Mr. Zhou Jinsheng also became interested: "Little comrade, are you so sure?"

Wang Lindao: "This is for sure. In order to manage the economic environment, rectify the economic order, and comprehensively deepen reforms, we can only liberalize prices. With the gradual liberalization of prices, it will definitely lead to an all-round consumption boom. And the excessively high economic growth rate , must be accompanied by the super-economic issuance of currency. Once the economy is overheated, it will cause inflation, and then it will be tightened.”

Zhou Hanmin smiled and said, "My boy, do you still know economics? Tell me, after inflation, how about austerity?"

Wang Lindao: "We can implement the policy of tight fiscal and credit, vigorously reduce fiscal expenditure, control currency issuance, control the total scale of credit; reduce the scale of infrastructure investment, adjust the investment structure; control the excessive growth of residents' income, and curb excessive consumer demand. I believe that it only takes one to two years for our country to complete the price breakthrough and realize the reform of the market economy."

Zhou Hanmin turned his head and looked at the old man Zhou Jinsheng, and they both saw surprises in each other's eyes!
