The leisurely life of rebirth.

After the meal, everyone didn't want to leave. The breeze was blowing, admiring the antique courtyard, and holding a cup of tea in their hands.In the capital city at the end of August, the weather was much brighter. Although it was hot at noon, the yard was shaded by trees and it didn't feel hot.

"What time is Nannan's flight?" Liang Zi asked after taking a sip of tea.

"It's around two o'clock in the afternoon."

The grandmother of the Liang family said: "I'm leaving now, study hard and come back quickly, don't let the family worry about it."

"En! I know." Fang Monan knew that the old man was saying what his mother said every time. After the meal, his mother became silent, and everyone could see the reluctance in her eyes.Soon, when Mobei and aunt got used to it, she would definitely come back and guard them. [

Mom remained silent, holding up the teacup to block the tears she was about to fall.

Liang Zi looked at his watch, it was getting late, "You don't plan to see Ye Lao Si anymore." She didn't ask him to inform anyone that she was going to the capital.

"I'll leave this to you. After reading it, he will know how to do it." Fang Monan took out the file bag, which was thickly filled with her writing. I believe Fourth Brother Ye will know its value and what to do after reading it.

Liang Zi sent Fang Monan to the plane, but his mother didn't go, she was afraid that she would not be able to control herself.The first time the three of them walked together, she didn't feel it yet.After six months of their absence, I realized how hard it is to live without the three of them.

When Ye Laosi got the news, Fang Monan's plane had already flown away, and he hurried to the courtyard, where Liang Zi was waiting for him.

Liang Zi looked at him sweating profusely and panting, "Here is what Nan Nan gave you." He put it on the table, "Don't make her think so badly, let's say it's on your land. Borrow a few Even if we have the courage, we dare not play tricks on you."

"Okay, take your time." Liang Zi got up and brushed past him, and closed the door gently. After getting along with him for two months, it was not a heart-to-heart relationship, but a good friendship.

Fourth Ye sat down, wiped off his sweat, and took two mouthfuls of tea.Open Liangzi and hand him a brown paper bag.Tear open and pull out a stack of paper with 'Your Chance' written on it.Ye Laosi stared at his eyes wider and wider.Mainly about the Soviet Union's economy, politics, military, nationality, etc.:

Due to the long-term implementation of a highly centralized planned economy, all the five-year plans of the Soviet Union except the first two five-year plans were not really completed. The speed of economic development declined rapidly in the decades after the war, and the gap with the developed countries in the world also followed It gets bigger and bigger.Since the mid-70s, the Soviet Union has entered the predicament of long-term economic recession, and the traditional extensive economy cannot be maintained.It should be pointed out that.This economic crisis is not a local short-term crisis in a certain field, but a long-term overall crisis.

Although the Soviet Union is known as "the most developed socialist country", the supply of major consumer goods has been insufficient for a long time.After more than 70 years of construction, the per capita gnp of the Soviet Union was US$1985 in 3396, which was not only behind the developed countries in the West, but also behind some countries in Asia and Latin America.The per capita income in the Soviet Union was about one-third of that in Western countries.However, due to the Soviet Union's policy of controlling consumption and high accumulation, the gap between the living standards of the Soviets and the West was even greater. In 1985, the per capita housing area was only 15 square meters, which was 50% of that of Western countries; the number of cars owned by every 14 households was 1750, only 80% of that of Western countries.There is a long-term shortage and insufficient supply of major consumer goods, and they often need to be supplied by ticket.People's living standards dropped from the fifth place in Europe before the revolution to the No.80 eighth place in the world in the [-]s.

苏联虽然拥有发达的宇航、兵器和生物技术，但只有25～30%的科研成果被采用，平均转化周期需要10～12年，而美国则有85%的科研成果在5年内转化为生产力。在现代技术领域。苏联落后于西方发达国家15～20年，而且差距越来越大。

The technology of Soviet civilian industrial products is very backward, and the quality of products is low. Even according to the most optimistic estimate, only 18% of Soviet industrial products meet international standards.There is no competitiveness at all in the international market.Due to the lack of competitiveness of industrial products, the Soviet Union could only earn foreign exchange by selling natural resources, especially oil resources.become an exporter of raw materials.

Agriculture in the Soviet Union was backward and inefficient for a long time.Due to successive years of poor harvests in agriculture.The Soviet Union was forced to spend foreign exchange to import food, which was already a scarce resource, spending more than 70 billion U.S. dollars a year, and the economy was stretched.At the same time, the scrapping rate of agricultural tractors in the Soviet Union reached 125% per year, three times that of the United States; a large number of crops were lost due to untimely harvesting, and even if they were harvested, 20% of the grain and 33% of the potatoes were spoiled every year due to poor storage , French food. In 1980, half of the collective farms and state farms in the country were not profitable.

The Soviet Union was economically backward, lacking in material goods, and people's living standards could not be improved for a long time, and the gap with the West was widening.It fundamentally shakes the people's superiority to socialism.Among the leaders of the Soviet Union, Andropov was a rare and sensible person. He made an astonishing statement at the internal meeting of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union: "The main danger of the Soviet Union does not come from world imperialism, but from the hardship and poverty of the people."

The politically excessive centralization system put the CPSU, the core of the alliance leadership, in a political state that completely lacked a monitoring mechanism.The cadre appointment system and tenure system of the CPSU created a good environment for the formation of vested interest groups.The bureaucracy was overcrowded and overstaffed; vested interest groups took bribes and indulged in extravagance and extravagance. The CPSU gradually lost its prestige among the people.Especially during the Brezhnev era, Soviet leaders were rigid in their thinking and stuck to the rules, which delayed development and reform opportunities and piled up domestic problems.After entering the 80s, the Soviet Union's political crisis inevitably emerged: within just three years, the three top leaders passed away one after another, and the Soviet Union lost the precious development opportunities in the first five years of the 3s.

The "socialism" of Stalin's model did not bring a satisfactory life to the Soviet people, which led to people's resistance, disgust and indifference to the traditional model.Especially when there is a huge contrast between the affluent life of the upper class and the life of ordinary people, this sentiment is even stronger, and people question the legitimacy of the Soviet Communist Party's rule.

Tsarist Russia started from aggression and expansion, which made the Soviet Union the country with the largest number of nationalities in the world, and the development of nationalities was extremely uneven.Many ethnic groups are still in the tribal stage, and ethnic issues have been acute for a long time.Both Tsarist Russia and the Soviet Union implemented high-pressure policies of oppression and assimilation of ethnic minorities.

In the 70s, out of the need to compete with the United States for world hegemony, the Soviet Union engaged in an arms race in an irrational manner, causing military expenditures to reach a quarter of national income, which was a heavy burden; The Soviet regime and the guerrillas.Planning a military coup has aroused widespread resentment in the international community. In 1979, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, and immediately fell into the quagmire of guerrilla warfare, which not only caused the Soviet Union a "bleeding wound" that could not heal in a long time, cost billions of rubles every year, but also greatly damaged the international image of the Soviet Union.

After Reagan took office in 1981.Instead of the original shrinking strategy of the United States, it countered the expansion of the Soviet Union with a tough attitude everywhere, and announced that it would conduct research on the "Star Wars" program, setting off a new round of arms race climax.At this time, the Soviet Union, which was beset internally and externally, could no longer cope with it and was forced to shrink in an all-round way. [

There is also a sarcastic joke at the end.The Soviet Union is a train that cannot go on because the track has come to an end.Each leader handled the crisis in his own way; Stalin ordered the driver and conductor to be shot; Khrushchev rehabilitated them; Brezhnev drew the curtains and ordered the train to be shaken from side to side, causing the train to run Gorbachev opened the curtain, leaned out and shouted loudly: "There are no railroad tracks ahead, there are no railroad tracks ahead!"

Ye Laosi read it again and again, and it was already sunset, and the room was dark.Think it's totally impossible.Although diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union were severed, the parents of the family still have a deep affection for Big Brother. This is simply impossible, but the data is so careful that it cannot be fabricated.Besides, she didn't need to fool him with that!This is no joke.

He just wants to make some money, there is no need to rise to the international level!

"This... this... I have to discuss it with someone." Ye Lao Si called He Junyao.While waiting for someone, he read the stack of materials word by word.With his hands on the armchair, his fingers tapped the armrests rhythmically.Lost in thought.

When He Junyao arrived, the lights were already on. After he entered, there was only one figure sitting on an armchair in the dark. "You kid will enjoy it, how did you find such a good place." Seeing that he didn't say a word, "What are you doing? Pretending to be deep." He found the switch and turned on the light.

Ye Laosi couldn't adapt to the light all of a sudden, blocked it with his hand, narrowed his eyes and said: "Boss, you are here."

"I'll show you some information, but you have to be mentally prepared." Ye Laosi said mysteriously.

He Junyao took it over and sneered, "What kind of me are you..." His voice froze all of a sudden.He scans it quickly.Looking at Ye Laosi, "Impossible!" He Junyao said in disbelief. "The Soviet Union's foreign data is not what it looks like."

"How is it impossible? Isn't our country whitewashing the peace too!" Ye Laosi curled his lips and said, although he felt uncomfortable, it was the truth.

"Hey! You have such a mouth! You dare to say anything." He Junyao thumped his chest. "What do you want?"

"Where did you come from? If the data in this is true, it should be top secret." He Junyao frowned and asked seriously.

"I don't know. Someone else gave it to me. A child handed it to me and ran away." Ye Laosi lied without blushing, because the last page had a note that it was not allowed to tell anyone that it was written by Fang Monan. , You can find any excuse, Fourth Brother Ye.Just call him Fourth Brother Ye, whether it's true or not, he has to be loyal and not betray her.

"You think I'll believe it." He Junyao raised his eyebrows and asked. "fine."

"Is this? I want to confirm whether the data in it is true." Ye Lao Si said, "Grandpa He has a lot of contacts, and he has subordinates in the security intelligence system. Please verify."

"What if it turns out to be true?" He Junyao asked.

Ye Laosi smiled, "Then you will get rich. You know our country, there is no shortage of what they need. I think when the old Maozi broke up diplomatic relations, he not only withdrew the experts, but also paid off the debt. I heard that when the debt was paid off with agricultural products, Eggs, potatoes, and apples should be passed through a sieve, big or small; pork should be fattened, fat or thin, as long as it is just right."

"You guy, don't be too happy too early. You have to verify the authenticity of the data first." He Junyao said rationally.

"Of course, if it doesn't work. I'll go to the Soviet Union to have a look." Ye Laosi was infected by the wonderful situation depicted in his heart.

"Don't forget, the relationship between the two countries is still frozen! You won't be afraid of being regarded as a spy when you go." He Junyao poured cold water on him, "Be honest with me, let me confirm it first, and then make a long-term plan."

"Also, where did you get the money from? The three walnuts and two dates in your hand are not enough to fit between your teeth." He Junyao poured another basin of cold water.

"Is this... There is always a way." Ye Laosi said, and asked Liang Zi again. "But boss, you'd better prove it to me first!"

"Then let's go!" Ye Laosi said, and the two jumped into the military vehicle.He quickly ran towards He Junyao's house. [

The military vehicle made countless turns, and finally got into a quiet alley with rows of courtyard houses on both sides.If it wasn't for the guard standing upright at the door, I would have thought that I had come to an antique tourist attraction.The He family is also a courtyard house with a deep courtyard, and the night in early autumn brings a little coolness.After they got out of the car, they hurried in.

The lights in the house were still on.Mr. He sat in the middle of the room immediately, seeing his grandson coming in, he couldn't help feeling sour, and always felt sorry for the child.

As soon as he saw Ye Laosi who was like a monkey behind him, he said kindly: "Why did Si'er come here, but he hasn't come for some days." Although his tone was kind.But the old man has been in a high position for a long time, and he has accumulated a lot of power. Ye Laosi sits on his right hand like a bell, and dare not make mistakes.

"Grandpa. You haven't rested so late." He Junyao asked with a sullen face, "Where's grandma?"

"Your grandma is resting first," Mr. He said.

Seeing his coffin face, old man He couldn't help but get angry, "Hey! Don't put on such a dead face for me, I will get angry when I see it." He was furious, especially when he saw his grandson's poker face.It hurts my heart, what a good young man I used to be, I can't bear to look back on the past.

"Grandpa He, we have something to do with you." Fourth Ye said quickly.

"It's something!" Mr. He teased, raising his eyebrows. "Did you stab the basket again and dare not go home, so you came to find a rescuer?"

"Grandpa He. Don't tell me that Si'er is the one who causes trouble in your eyes. If something goes wrong, you have to call for help." Fourth Ye said dissatisfied.

"Why. Isn't it? Tell me you are such an old man..."

He Junyao looked at his grandfather and began to talk at length, "Grandpa, I have a document here that needs your help to verify." He handed it to Mr. He, and helped him find the reading glasses and put them on.

Mr. He turned over very slowly, frowning tightly, and watched for a long time.The room was silent, only the sound of the clock ticking, He Junyao went out quietly, and brought two bowls of noodles when he came back.A bowl was handed to Ye Lao Si, who didn't even eat dinner when Ye Lao Si called him out.

"Where did you come from here?" Mr. He took off his reading glasses, his face was serious, and he looked at the two juniors with sharp eyes.

"Grandpa, don't care where it came from, you can first prove the authenticity to me, especially about the economic data." He Junyao said unhurriedly, not forgetting to finish the soup in the bowl.

Ye Laosi gave a thumbs up in his heart, "Nuuuuuuuuuu", only the boss dared to talk eloquently in front of those old men, and the others didn't dare to breathe when they saw it, just like a mouse seeing a cat.

"The data will have to wait a while, but there is someone who just came back from the Soviet Union, so you can ask him." Mr. He said, and made a phone call himself.

About 10 minutes later, there was a screeching sound outside the gate, and a man in his 30s ran in from the outside, and gave a military salute to Mr. He, "Hello, Chief!"

"Okay! Sit down!" Mr. He said.

He Junyao and Ye Laosi also knew the visitor, so they both stood up and greeted each other, and then sat down together.

"Xiao Wu, I called you here so late, please tell me about your experience and feelings about life in the Soviet Union." Although Mr. He spoke very kindly, in the eyes of the person opposite, he was still so strong.

Xiao Wu was very surprised, the old man called him here so late just to hear how his life was going.He Junyao and Ye Zhenhua who were listening stared at him with bright eyes.Taking a deep breath, he slowly told what he had seen and heard in the Soviet Union this year.

After finishing speaking, Mr. He asked his grandson to send him out.

Ye Laosi excitedly said: "Grandpa He, it seems that 1% of this information is true. The ratio of US dollar to ruble on the black market is 15:1, and the official rate is 0:9. It’s a lot of money!” He frowned and said, “In fact, our country’s foreign exchange seems to be similar to that of the Soviet Union.

"Be careful what you say, our country has strict foreign exchange controls." Mr. He warned with wide eyes.

"Hehe..." Ye Lao Si looked at the old man with a sneer, covered his mouth, and said:

"You skinny monkey." Mr. He was deeply touched. He also went to the Soviet Union when he was young. "Oh! Big brother... I can't imagine how it will go on like this..."

"Grandpa is not the time to be emotional. From the data, there is also the personal contact with Xiao Wu just now. Since the death of Comrade Chernenko, Gorbachev has taken over. The political situation in the Soviet Union has begun to highlight contradictions and problems. The reform of corporate autonomy started in the era of Chernenko. By now, the wave of opposition has intensified. You know. The Soviet Union focused on heavy industry and military industry. Daily necessities are poor. Food is also in short supply. Our chances come It is." He Junyao said seriously.

Even though Mr. He didn't work in the main economic line, he knew something about this thing.In this way, as long as a caring person can operate it, he can definitely make huge profits from it.Rely on these products such as daily necessities, supplies in short supply, and food.Take advantage of the increasingly chaotic situation in the Soviet Union to exchange advanced heavy industrial equipment from the Soviet Union, such as machine tool machines, advanced punching machines, and advanced military scientific research materials and weapons.Scientific research materials and data on such equipment as aircraft carriers, fighter planes, and guided missiles.

Mr. He took a more far-reaching view, "If the Soviet Union continues to develop like this, then its control over Warsaw will also weaken. In other words, its Eastern European partners, Poland, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Romania will also have prospects. Not good! The Central Asian regions of the republics of the Soviet Union are next to us! The Yankees will not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It seems that the reconnaissance over there must be strengthened, and the Yankees cannot put their guns at the door of the house." After finishing these words , he sighed again: "Oh! These things are still hard to do without money!"

Can't you say anything about being a junior?It is not easy to speak out at this time, and they know all too well whether the country is doing well.

"Let's go here! Everything is waiting for my news." Mr. He finally said, holding a stack of papers, he felt heavy.

Fourth Ye also knew that there was no need to rush this matter, so he had to go home obediently.

When only He Junyao and his grandfather and grandson were left in the living room, the old man pointed to the pile of materials and asked, "What do you think of the person who wrote the materials?"

He Junyao took the information, rubbed his chin, thought for a while and said: "Looking at the characters, the strokes are vigorous, the fonts are stable and powerful, he is an open-minded person, and the fonts from the beginning to the end are always unhurried. Write, without personal emotions, and objective content. And very familiar with the economy, others are generalized. The language is short and clean, as if summarizing, there should be no malice towards us, and it should not be a trap. Age He must be in his thirties, otherwise he would not be able to practice this good handwriting, and the handwriting is written with his left hand."

With a smile on his face, Mr. He looked at his grandson who was talking eloquently in front of him, "Oh, then tell me whether it's a man or a woman."

This sentence choked He Junyao half to death. He looked at the document again, but he really couldn't see the euphemism of a woman in the font. He said that it was written by a man, but some details were noted one by one. Men are not so careful. , admitted, "Grandpa, forgive me for my poor eyesight, but I really didn't see a man and a woman."

Mr. He spent all his time looking at his embarrassed grandson, and finally saw his embarrassment, and his face changed. "It must have been written by a woman."

"Huh?" He Junyao sullenly raised his eyebrows, waiting for the old man's opinion.

"On the paper, there is a faint fragrance. It's not the fragrance of pen and ink, and it's not that it doesn't exist on the paper, but it's brought by pressing the hand on the paper when writing." Mr. He said.

He Junyao picked up the material, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it carefully, it was very faint, if you didn't smell it carefully, you would think it was the fragrance of pen and ink.

"Boy, you still have to learn slowly." Mr. He narrowed his eyes with joy, looking at his beaten grandson. (to be continued)
