Reborn in the red age

After the Spring Festival in 1987, the atmosphere in society was more open than before, and this was even more obvious in schools, a gathering place for young people.

Female students in school dress more delicately, and lipstick can also appear openly inside the school.

There are also some fashionable young men among the male students. They get a perm and don't mind the cold outside. They stand on the playground early in the morning with a guitar and play and sing to themselves, attracting the attention of many female students.

"Hello, Teacher Li"

"Hello"

Qingfeng Li, who had just finished his early morning classes for the students, was walking on the stone road of the school. Students kept saying hello to Qingfeng Li, and Qingfeng Li would nod to indicate them.

Back in the office, what is different from the past is that the three old teachers in the office today are all discussing something excitedly.

As soon as Qingfeng Li came in, he was noticed by the sharp-eyed Sister Wu, who happily conveyed the latest inside information to Qingfeng Li: "Teacher Li, there is a great thing, you don't know about it yet, right?"

"What's a great thing? Tell me about it." Li Qingfeng put down the lesson plan, picked up the thermos bottle on the table, and said in cooperation.

Sister Wu danced excitedly and said: "The staff building built in our school last year is almost completed, and now the school leaders are meeting to discuss the allocation of rooms."

"Really, that's a great thing. The housing problem of teachers in our school really needs to be solved. Many teachers and their whole families are still crowded in small dormitories."

Qingfeng Li knew about this a few days ago. At that time, the school leader in charge of this area asked Qingfeng if he wanted a room. However, looking at Sister Wu who was staring at him, Qingfeng Li still cooperated and pretended that he had just heard about this. The message looks like.

Pang Yuanming, an old teacher who has never participated in such discussions, couldn't help but sigh when he mentioned the issue of housing: "Who says it's not the case? Housing is too difficult. Our family of five is crowded into a two-bedroom apartment. My daughter is already thirteen this year and she doesn’t have a room of her own. She is still crowded into the same room with her two brothers.”

"Old Pang, you are doing well. My parents don't live with you. My house is even more crowded. I have turned the living room into a room. The door open is the bedroom. After dinner is ready, , Take it into your own room and eat it yourself." Another old teacher, Gu Guofeng, also joined the topic of selling misery.

Sister Wu also refused to be outdone and sold miserably: "My family's situation is similar. The house is tightly packed. My eldest son is getting married soon. I am still worried about what to do with the wedding room."

The three of them were wary of each other and complained about their families' housing difficulties.

Listening to the three old teachers talking about their difficulties, Li Qingfeng wanted to think about where he was now. How many spacious houses do ordinary people in Sijiu City have now?
In Sijiu City, having a two-bedroom house is already the envy of countless people. In those large courtyards, a family of seven or eight people doesn't even have a bed, and many people need to sleep on the floor at night.

However, the living conditions of my home were so spacious that if I said such words, it would be like standing up and talking without pain in my back, so I kept my mouth shut.

Three old teachers who were nervously discussing the topic of housing allocation for their families suddenly turned to Qingfeng Li and asked if Qingfeng Li had any plans to participate in the school's housing allocation.

Looking at the three people staring at him, Li Qingfeng quickly waved his hands and said that he did not intend to ask for a house in the school. He had a house in the dormitory of the Computer Research Institute.

Qingfeng Li is very low-key in school. Everyone knows that he made a lot of money while studying abroad, but few people know that the Lemon Company belongs to Qingfeng Li.

"The house in the Institute of Computer Science is a good house. It's a western-style building with an elevator. You're really lucky to be assigned a house in the institute." When he heard that Qingfeng Li had been allocated a room in the dormitory building of the institute, Wu The eldest sister said enviously.

The staff dormitories of the Institute of Computer Science were three nine-story dormitories built three years ago after negotiating with the school in the name of Lemon Company and acquiring a piece of land in the family area of ​​the school. Lemon Company then funded the construction.

The design concept of the dormitory building was provided by Li Qingfeng. It did not have the characteristics of larger bedrooms and almost no living room in the buildings of this era. Instead, it adopted the concept of commercial housing in later generations, with dynamic and static partitions, and a large floor-to-ceiling balcony.

After the dormitory building was built, it was not much different from the commercial housing in later generations.

House allocation is a matter of many people and few people. Everyone wants a house to improve their own housing situation. When the three old teachers heard that Li Qingfeng would not participate in the house allocation, they were happy to have one less competitor.

In the subsequent discussion, Qingfeng Li did not participate in the discussion. Instead, he sat in his seat and wrote the lesson plan.

Occasionally pausing, listening to the three chattering about the house, Qingfeng Li couldn't help but sigh in his heart. As soon as the news of the room allocation came out, the school would become noisy in the next period of time.

In the period that followed, Qingfeng Li's guess was correct. The houses hadn't been divided yet. Various gossips were flying all over the place. The previously quiet office was now noisy and disturbed Qingfeng Li every day.

Not only was Sister Wu scolding the leaders above, but two old teachers who were from science and engineering backgrounds and never talked about people in the office were also very dissatisfied with the leaders above. From time to time, they would bring Li Qingfeng out to comment.

Because of this, Li Qingfeng didn't go back to the office during this period. Whatever work he had, he went to the research institute to complete it.

I was writing lesson plans in the institute that day. Hao Aiguo, the eldest brother in the dormitory who stayed at the school with Li Qingfeng, came over with a lawsuit look on his face. The first thing he said when he saw Qingfeng Li was to go to his house to drink at night and not come back until he was drunk.

Li Qingfeng had a smile on his face. While grabbing tea leaves for Hao Aiguo, he joked with a smile: "Hey, why did Chief Hao think of coming to drink with me, a nobody like me?"

"How come you, Mr. Li, have become a nobody? You are still employed as a deputy section chief. That means you don't want to transfer to an administrative position, otherwise you will be a deputy department chief now." Hao Aiguo gave Li Qingfeng a roll of his eyes.

Qingfeng Li didn't want to talk about this, so he just laughed and asked what trouble he was in and why he was so bitter.

"Alas" Hao Aiguo sighed deeply and said with despair, "I am now responsible for the room allocation work in our school."

Li Qingfeng looked at Hao Aiguo with sympathy: "Then you are really miserable, having to do such an offending job."

Before leaving get off work, I called Hu Jiabao's BP machine and received a call from Hu Jiabao in the office. After informing Hu Jiabao that he would go back late tonight, he picked up the handbag on the table and went home from get off work with Hao Aiguo.

Hao Aiguo's daughter-in-law was very enthusiastic about Qingfeng Li. The eldest brother and the younger brother kept yelling and made a table full of hard dishes to entertain Qingfeng Li. "Brother Qingfeng, I heard from Lao Hao that you were coming to my house, and I wanted to buy Maotai. Who knew that the supply and marketing cooperative couldn't buy it? Only the 'old county magistrate' doesn't know whether you are used to drinking or not, but don't dislike it." Liu Cuilan took out a bottle of Luzhou Laojiao's special song and said apologetically.

A few years ago, Tequ was the wine used to receive county leaders, so the people called this wine "Old County Chief". In the early 6s, it sold for 14 yuan, which increased to 45 yuan in the middle period. Now it sells for yuan a bottle, and in a few years I don’t know how many times the price has doubled.

Luzhou Laojiao was very popular in the country in the 1980s. It was only slightly worse than Maozi, and it was on the same level as Wuliangye. Later, it ruined itself.

Qingfeng Li waved his hands repeatedly, pretending to be flattered and said: "It's been spent, it's been spent, sister-in-law, I see what you said, the old county magistrate is a good wine. In the past, if you wanted to drink this, you had to go to the leader to approve a note to buy it, otherwise you wouldn't be able to buy it. If you can’t drink this, how can you dare to dislike it?”

"Okay, as long as Brother Qingfeng likes this wine, you and Lao Hao will drink it first. There is also a chicken stewed with mushrooms in the kitchen. I'll go over and take a look."

"This is too rich, there are so many dishes on the table, and there is still one in the kitchen."

When Liu Cuilan left, she took her two children away on the pretext that it would not interfere with their drinking.

After Liu Cuilan went out, Hao Aiguo picked up the special music on the table and filled Qingfeng Li's wine glass. He smiled and teased: "I took advantage of your kid today. Otherwise, how could I have such a good drink?" Wine, I usually drink is a red star worth one dollar and a half."

"Stop, don't be miserable. If you're miserable, I won't move my thatch to your house," Qingfeng Li joked.

"Okay, okay, don't be miserable. Let's eat, eat, and try your sister-in-law's cooking."

The two of them were drinking and chatting. Hao Aiguo told a lot of shitty things in school that Qingfeng Li didn't know about. Qingfeng Li was stunned when he heard that.

Good guy, are there no secrets in the agency? Hao Aiguo is such an honest man, and he actually knows more news than Sister Wu in the office. Qingfeng Li has heard of many of the things he said tonight for the first time.

After drinking for three rounds, we chatted about room allocation.

Thinking of what Sister Wu had scolded the leaders above in the office, Li Qingfeng asked curiously: "I heard that the daughter of Director Zhou of the Human Resources Department who just entered junior high school will also participate in the allocation of rooms in our school, and she will face the south. I plan to use the two houses for marriage in the future. Is this true? "

"Humph, no, I've already said hello. The school has built a total of 5 buildings with a total of ninety-six houses. More than people have said hello and clearly want the houses. I have a drawer full of notes handed over. As a result, I am like a rat entering the bellows, and there are no humans on either side." Hao Aiguo said angrily as he drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

Li Qingfeng was not surprised at all about this matter. It was already a normal operation. There was a shortage of houses everywhere, and it was the same in every unit.

After pouring himself another glass of wine, Hao Aiguo glanced at Qingfeng Li with some resentment: "Speaking of which, the reason why this happens has something to do with you."

"No, what does it have to do with me? The fact that the school is building a family home has nothing to do with me."

"Why did you build the family building of the Institute of Computer Science so well? The family courtyard school originally planned to build a tube building. After the school leaders visited the family courtyard of your institute, they patted the thigh and immediately gave instructions to build it. Let the Family Court be on par with the Family Building of the Research Institute, and it should be built like this.”

"."

Can this be blamed on Qingfeng Li? Qingfeng Li said that he would not take the blame.

On the eve of the room allocation, the commotion in the school became even more intense.

Some faculty and staff who felt that they could not get a house simply started to break the rules and indulged their family members to quarrel with the school leaders. Some younger faculty and staff even took it upon themselves to make a fuss in the offices of the leaders in charge. Even Hao Aiguo was blocked and scolded by others, and he almost got into a fight several times.

Senior intellectuals these days have all had the experience of going to the countryside for a long time. They have more or less experienced watching country ladies scolding people. If they really curse people, it will be very exciting. Watching it makes Qingfeng Li's blood boil. of.

Probably because they felt that such a commotion would have a negative impact on students, the school leaders urgently stopped the release of the list and planned to wait until the summer vacation students were gone before releasing the list.

After learning that there would be no more trouble in the past month, Li Qingfeng felt a little regretful. Without the fun to watch, he even lost the motivation to go to work.

Hu Jiabao returned home without interest. Hu Jiabao, who had passed the reexamination and entered the school early, also heard about Qingfeng Li's school room allocation and asked Qingfeng Li about the situation with great interest.

"According to what you said, families with such difficult housing conditions can't get a house, so our family has no hope." After listening to Qingfeng Li's story, Hu Jiabao said with regret, his chin resting on his arms on the table.

Li Qingfeng was stunned: "What are we doing with all the rooms? We have so many rooms in our house that we can't all live in them. Why do we need to allocate staff rooms in the school?"

"You don't think about our family's affairs at all." Hu Jiabao rolled his eyes at Qingfeng Li and then explained: "You work in your school and I study in our school. It would be a little inconvenient to continue living in Qianliang Hutong. You can’t drive there every day, right?”

"I have been thinking about moving during this time, but the residents there are a mixed bag. I am worried about the safety of my two children, so I thought about whether I could get a separate apartment from the school."

After listening to Hu Jiabao's explanation, Li Qingfeng nodded. This is indeed the truth. There are still a lot of human traffickers these days. Zhongguancun and Lanqiying are a mixed bag, with people from all walks of life. Living there with two children is indeed a bit... Not safe.

"There is no need to interfere with the school's house. Our institute has three residential buildings in the school's family courtyard. I asked people to set aside a floor for our house. It has been renovated and has furniture and appliances. We can move into it. Go over there"

"Yeah, if you didn't tell me earlier that you had a house, our family has been going through a lot of troubles these days."

Hu Jiabao went ahead and went to see the house the next day, and immediately decided to move here within two days.

His wife decided to move, so Qingfeng Li had no choice but to follow her husband. He gave the key to Liu Guangmin and asked him to take a few of his classmates to clean the family building, while he went home with Hu Jiabao to pack his luggage. (End of chapter)
