Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 163 This is a Challenging Era
Especially Gao Yuzhi's concubine, a retired cadre, used to dine together like a flower abroad. Ji Ping hoped that Ji Donglai could hitch a ride with Jiang Xue, but it's a pity that Ji Donglai's academic performance...

Now that his son has opened up a new path, Ji Ping and Ning Caiyun are silently watching everything about his son, hoping that his son can break through through his own efforts.

It doesn't matter if we don't stay together during the Chinese New Year, if we don't become two people, it will be...

Another strong light passed by, Ning Caiyun looked at it reflexively for a while, but the strong light stopped moving and then went out.

"My son is back, Donglai..."

"Hey, Mom!"

Ning Caiyun greeted, Ji Donglai hurriedly agreed, Ning Caiyun ran out immediately, behind him Ji Ping also had an unconcealable smile on his face, behind him Ji Heng and his wife also turned their heads, stood up slowly, Ji Heng beat his back, his wife That side also took Ji Heng's hand and walked out slowly.

"The papers have been issued, and Donglai just came back, so let's shoot the cannons around, come on!"

Watching Ji Donglai enter the yard, Ji Heng took the firecrackers from home to Ji Donglai, and Ji Ping also began to prepare yellow paper. According to the old tradition in Northeast China, the yellow paper at home burned from the stove to the gate of the courtyard.

Most of the dumplings that Ning Caiyun specially prepared for Ji Donglai will cook celery dumplings. I hope the whole family will work hard.In the traditional belief of the sons and daughters of China, hard work can overcome everything.

With the gradual advancement of the times, hard work is gradually being replaced by intelligence.But everyone's expectations for the future have not changed. Although everyone doesn't like to eat, they still have to do it.

Ning Caiyun specially prepared a plate of dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut for Ji Donglai, and waited for his son to come back to cook and eat.

"Crackling..."

"It's Chinese New Year, hahaha..."

The smell of burning firecrackers came from the nose, and the whole family had happy smiles on their faces. Ji Donglai dragged his grandfather into the house.

"Grandpa, this year is not only a new year, but also a century! You are now an old man who has passed the century!"

Serving Ji Hengman a small glass of juice, Ji Donglai and his family sat at the table again, and Ji Heng's face also had a long-lost smile on his face.

"That's not right, Donglai, let me ask you a question, you said how many steps to put an elephant in the refrigerator, haha..."

To Ji Donglai's surprise, Ji Heng suddenly said such a sentence, Ji Donglai was slightly taken aback, and then remembered this year's Spring Festival Gala sketch "Part-time Worker", which is the most famous line of the middle-aged Song Dandan.

"That……"

"Haha, Dad! How could Donglai guess, he was still driving at that time!"

Seeing Ji Donglai stunned, the whole family fell into joy.Ji Donglai also laughed, but felt a little sad in his heart.

This skit is very contemporary. With the reform and opening up, more and more young men and women gathered in the southeast coast. From this time on, more and more Chinese old people will turn into husband-watching stones during the festivals.

Not only the problem of reunion during holidays, but also the problem of one-children, the decline in fertility rate, and the difficulty of getting married... a series of problems will appear along with the comprehensive promotion of industrialization.

The whole society will also face a rebuilding of values, and the traditions that have been built for thousands of years have become riddled with new year bells.

One year later, China will officially integrate into globalization, and certain things that have been passed down for thousands of years will face the great challenge of globalization.Ji Donglai, as a person who has experienced it first-hand, only knows that it is too fast, it is almost decades, and it is too late to enjoy the scenery. The car is almost at the end.

Taking a look at the round table in front of him, Ji Donglai could clearly feel the difference from a few years ago.

Among other things, Ji Heng's six children would gather at Ji Ping's house every New Year's Eve before the wave of layoffs in the past few years.

The people represented by Heping, because the factory is not efficient, many families have fallen into economic crisis, in line with the principle of not adding difficulties to Ji Donglai's family.

The relatives spontaneously reduced the frequency of gatherings at home. After all, as the boss, Ji Ping had a heavy burden of supporting the elderly, and frequent eating and drinking would make it more difficult for the couple to support their lives.

In many cases, it is not that the relatives are deliberately alienated, but that the social value standard is quietly changing. Although many people do not want to admit it, money will become the subject of people's pursuit for the next century.

Despite continuous adjustments, the full introduction of the Western model of economic structure will inevitably bring about a series of problems arising from this model. No matter how brilliant China’s culture has been for thousands of years, but fewer children, fear of marriage, world-weariness, and more Followed by...

After eating, the family started to play cards. Ji Heng was not in good health, and the whole family rested at about one o'clock. Ji Donglai went back to his small courtyard alone, threw some coal into the stove, and looked at the emptiness around him, unable to sleep. Simply put on a thick dress and walked along the alley.

Looking at the prosperity in front of him, and the occasional white smoke from a stove, Ji Donglai felt mixed feelings.

From 99 to the Spring Festival of 00, with a flick of a finger, Ji Donglai almost buried himself in it. If it wasn't for catching up with the tide of the times, Ji Donglai would have enough wealth to lie flat now.

It's just that in this era, how can you be reconciled if you don't make a fuss?After all, a certain treasure has just started to toss around now, and more than ten years later, he will still call out the famous horse era. Although Ji Donglai doesn't have such a big ideal, he doesn't want to watch some people lie sourly.

"Donglai, where are you going if you don't sleep at night?"

To Ji Donglai's surprise, Ji Ping followed after walking not far away.

"I miss my friend. Liu Yupeng doesn't know what's going on. He didn't even make a phone call when he went to the south. This kid is so heartless!"

Occasionally, children would come out to set off cannons on the street, and the sound of lamb whips and kicking feet was particularly loud in the empty alley. Ji Donglai reminded his father to pay attention.

When talking about Liu Yupeng's house, Ji Ping hesitated to speak.

"After the new year, I'm going to help your aunt. They say that construction wages are high now, so let's earn some money. We can't always stay in a factory and receive dead wages, can we?"

The two walked slowly along the streets of their hometown, and Ji Ping finally compromised with reality. After all, Ji Donglai's strength was still too weak, and it was too difficult to rely on a 20-year-old boy to fight alone.

Ji Donglai was slightly taken aback when he heard Ji Ping's words, and glanced at Ji Ping. Ji Ping turned his eyes to the distance, put his hands in his pockets, and walked slowly along the reception.

In Ji Donglai's eyes, he secretly thought that everyone who should come should come back. It can be seen that as the head of the family, Ji Ping finally decided to start leaving the family and business. Although Ji Donglai tried his best to let his parents enjoy the seemingly ordinary but enviable It is still difficult to avoid the change of times.
