Great Power

Li Tie and Zheng Jianguo were in the same year, but he was the bottom of December. Most people in 1961 were older than him, so Li Tieyue was bigger than Zheng Jianguo in the first half of the year, but this guy didn’t know what to think. , I went to Dali for a year when I reported my birthday after I ran, so I counted 20.

Roland is Kou Yang’s cousin, she is only 18 years old this year, and this is also the characteristic of the 77 and 78 grades after the resumption of the college entrance examination, because only the two-year high school in the past two years has been fully reformed into a three-year high school in 1979. , So it can be confirmed that it is two years younger than Li Tie.

The 20-year-old boy and the 18-year-old girl are all at the right age of youth and prosperity, but Zheng Jianguo is quite surprised that these two can get together. Of course, you can’t ask Serena about this kind of thing. There is Kou Yang in the middle: "Then I will call them again and let them choose—"

"They are right next door. Would you like me to call them for you? You can call them again if you save it—"

Serena’s voice was mixed with a faint smell of lemon. In order to save the time for calling the young lady in front of him, Zheng Jianguo also said: "Okay, you go and call them—"

At this point in time, Zheng Donghua and Kou Yang were both in Xijing Hotel. This was something Zheng Jianguo didn't expect. He subconsciously held a telephone and glanced to the side, and saw Zhao Liangliang skillfully tapping the ignition mechanism. Yes, his gaze swept across his face, and he confirmed what was going on with his previous thoughts: "Brother Zhao, is the house transaction not completed yet?"

"How is that possible, the household is over--"

He snapped the lighter back, Zhao Liangliang seemed to be taken aback and said, his eyes fell on the face of the receptionist next to him, and he looked at Zheng Jianguo and said, "What did Serena say?"

"She said that my sister lives in a hotel. I think I have a house. I haven't cleaned it yet?"

The first courtyard house Zheng Jianguo got was located at the east end of Tianjie Street. It is said to be a large courtyard along the street of Xibiaohu Hutong. It covers an area of ​​more than 600 square meters, but according to Zheng Donghua’s memory, it is very shabby. I don’t know who stole it. When I went there, there were children crawling in and out. As for the inside, it was even more prickly. You can see excrement and feces everywhere, and Huang Taixian’s den: "This will take a while. ?"

"Well, it's been more than half a month, it should be still cleaning up."

Zhao Liangliang’s words were a bit vague. Zheng Jianguo also understood that this was a private transaction between the two. Now it is not during the embassy’s in-depth discussion. Many thoughts flashed through his mind. A voice came from the microphone in his hand: "Hani~ they are here. It~"

"——"

Serena's charming and delicate cheeks flashed in his mind. Zheng Jianguo also knew that this young lady was idle and ruthless, so he didn't wait until Zheng Donghua's voice came from the opposite side: "Jianguo——"

"Sister Si, I heard that you didn't do well in this exam?"

Zheng Jianguo’s tone didn’t mean to blame, it seemed to be just a casual language between ordinary brothers and sisters, but when this sentence passed through the phone line to Zheng Donghua’s ear, she suddenly had a kind of like a headache for her parents. I felt that after the meeting was silent, he said, "Well, in terms of oral English, I failed the oral exam-Kou Yang did."

"Oh, then do you plan to continue to study in the United States for a period of time in domestic tutoring, or go to the university on Hong Kong Island after the New Year?"

Zheng Donghua’s silence came, and Zheng Jianguo also remembered that there was something wrong with the siblings. When the previous discussion became a choice, they can go to Hong Kong Island now, otherwise they can continue to study for a while before going to the United States, so anyone can face it. When it comes to this question, it will be like Zheng Donghua chose: "I plan to go to Hong Kong Island—"

On Hong Kong Island, Zheng Donghua learned a lot from Li Tiekou, where there are dazzling lights and wine and green places. This time through the process of taking the TOEFL test, it can be regarded as seeing the prosperity of the metropolis. According to Serena, Washington and Boston is like this, so instead of waiting for a long time to go to the United States, it takes more than 30 hours to get there. It is better to go to Hong Kong Island now. The degree of the University of Hong Kong Island is also universal. of.

"That's fine, it's also close to the country, and you can often go home and see—"

Of course Zheng Jianguo didn’t know that this sister would regard flying for more than 30 hours as a difficulty, and even less that she would think that the universities on Hong Kong Island are also universal, so after making a decision, Kou Yang’s face flashed before her eyes. Then he said: "I have a classmate, a high school classmate, his name is Hao Yun, he has returned home now, I will ask him to come and help take over the house, I have given him the address of Biaozhu Hutong Siheyuan, you this year Are you going home for the New Year?"

"Go back, you are not at home, there is only a third sister in the house, I will not go back, our father, mother and third sister are guarding such a big house—"

After Zheng Fugui went to work at the County People’s Hospital, Xiaomei Du bought a yard in the county town with the 3,000 yuan given by Zheng Jianguo. Considering that the family’s ancestral tomb was still in the brigade, three thatched houses in Sanlibao were entrusted to Li Tie. The parents take care of this, which is why Zheng Donghua said so: “This is the first year after buying a new house.”

"The past two years have worked hard for you and the third sister, our mother's temper—"

The cheeks of Zheng Fugui and Du Xiaomei flashed in his mind, and Zheng Jianguo's mood became a little heavy. Fortunately, Zheng Donghua heard him say this, and immediately became unhappy: "You are talking bullshit, that's your parents and me. With the third sister’s parents, there are no good parents who don’t want their children to have a life. Whether they beat or scold them, they are all affectionate and love for you. Hao Yun, have you explained that?"

"Well, what you said is, Hao Yun, I have already explained that he might bring someone."

Zheng Jianguo, who was choked, said that Hao Yun’s last letter came in August. At that time, he said that the educated youth could go back, and he wrote back to him at the time. He didn’t know that he had received the confiscated letter. Arrived, of course, what he said is only possible, maybe the goods have not returned to Shanxian: "You have discussed with Brother Bin about going to study abroad?"

"After discussing it, he is now studying English at night school."

Zheng Donghua’s voice came, and Zheng Jianguo was relieved. He thought that this sister had run out of people before, and then kicked it to cross the river and demolish the bridge. He didn’t expect that Kou Bin’s brother would be able to pick up the textbook again: “Well, go back Work more often, there won’t be many such opportunities in the future, is the house still being cleaned up?"

"It has been stopped. The people who were looking for said that construction is not easy in winter. Now the world is going to touch the old bricks. This is also listening to you. You said that if the building is good, how do you want to restore the courtyard? This city has the most It's a courtyard house—"

When Zheng Donghua talked about the house, she had a lot of her own thoughts in it. Of course, Zheng Jianguo wouldn’t say you don’t understand, so don’t pretend to understand: "After I came here, I saw a lot of houses that were over a hundred years old. Thinking of the capital as the capital of our republic, you can’t do without something of yourself. When you stand in front of the big square and look at Antianmen, do you see the high-rise buildings like Hong Kong Island?"

"Forget it, it's spending your money anyway—"

Zheng Donghua was stunned for a while, and felt that it would be ruthless to put a few buildings between the eaves and beams. Zheng Jianguo quickly answered: "Remember not to say to our father and mother, let Kou Yang pick it up. Call it."

"Well, Kou Yang, Jianguo is looking for you—"

A muffled sound came from the microphone, and Kou Yang's voice sounded: "Zheng Jianguo--"

"Kou Yang, I went out to see it this time, how do you feel?"

As if he was worried about something, Zheng Jianguo didn't let Kou Yang continue speaking. The latter's voice was silent for a while, and then he said: "It's too messy over there—"

"Chaos can be everywhere. The reason why you feel that Hong Kong Island is chaotic is that there are so many media on Hong Kong Island that the information is developed. You can't find news for nearly three days on domestic TV, so you will feel the chaos. so many.

The domestic situation is also changing. The educated youths who have returned to the city and recent graduates who are hard-working will give up their face to do a little business. They can also be regarded as doing things by themselves, but they are more of a single minded mind. In the unit.

It’s just that these two parts are better, and the rest is the group of delicious lazy cooks. These people have traveled south and north, caught enemy agents and hunted beasts. When the freshness of returning home is over, they have to drill holes and make holes. To make money.

Of course, there will only be a small number of people who do this. The competent people are not as good as Hong Kong Island and less than the United States. The public security situation here is too bad, and shooting incidents can be seen in reports every day, and people are killed all the time. At gunpoint, in this respect, it is better for you to study on Hong Kong Island than to study in the United States."

Zheng Jianguo talked about it a lot. Among them, Zhao Liangliang specially found the cup and took him a glass of water and put it in front of him. Fortunately, he knew that there was not only Zheng Donghua on the other side, but also Serena, so what he said focused on persuasion. The other party went to study on Hong Kong Island, but when he said in a whisper, Kou Yang's voice came: "Thank you, Zheng Jianguo, I believe you, I will go wherever you ask me."

"——"

Zheng Jianguo was in a moment of confusion. The phone on the opposite side must not be released. Besides, domestic phones don’t have this function at this time. So when this young lady said something like this, Serena’s lemon scent next to him would definitely be smoked. There was a mosquito, but just when he was speechless, Kou Yang in the microphone spoke again: "Well, I wish you a happy Christmas Eve, it's cold, take care of yourself."

"???"

Hearing the hang-up sound from the microphone, Zheng Jianguo looked at the microphone and felt that things were a bit big. However, what made him even more sluggish was that Zhao Liangliang next to him was full of curiosity: "Jianguo, you have a little bit of yourself about the educated youth returning to the city. the opinion of?"

"Do you still fight?"

When Zhao Liangliang’s voice fell, the receptionist sister said, Zheng Jianguo took a look at the watch on his wrist. By this time, it was almost ten o’clock in the evening. Needless to say, looking for Zheng Fugui and Du Xiaomei is nothing to think about. The two old men should have rested by the time. If they want to fight, they have to wait until Christmas Eve. Here at ten o'clock in the night and at ten o'clock in the morning: "Thank you, no more fights."

"Come on, my brother will take you to your resting place."

Zhao Liangliang picked up the teacup he had sipped and screwed it up, stuffed it into his pocket and walked towards the elevator first, until he went to the old place on the third floor and opened the door. After turning on the light, he stood at the door and said: " Do you also feel that it is a big trouble for those people to return to the city?"

"Most are not, a few are."

Even if you don’t know how to return to the educated youth of Huishan County, Comrade Hao Yun, Zheng Jianguo had contacted many educated youth groups represented by Wang Guohuai in Sanlibao. It took tens of millions of educated youths to go to the mountains and the countryside in the last ten years. Only a few million have not returned to the city. Could it be that the other tens of millions of educated youth have taken root in the fields?

Or is it that most of the tens of millions returned to the city through relationships?

Only a fraction of millions left?

This is naturally nonsense. Everyone usually talks about sympathy for this group of people. After all, the steamed bun dolls in the city suddenly became gourd babies, and those who have the time to express their opinions and participate are mostly those who don’t worry about food and clothing. People.

In addition, the vast majority of this group of people are cultural intellectuals. Scholars do not have the ability to rebel. It should not be too simple to guide public opinion. What's more, the country still wants them to complain more.

Of course, this has little to do with Zheng Jianguo. Before this year, he was still a member of the poor and middle peasants who could no longer be red. He was second only to the poor peasants in the Sanlibao Brigade, so he talked about it when facing Zhao Liangliang. He had some thoughts about this group of people: "Among the tens of millions that have gone down, those who have not come back now, except for a handful of people who have rooted in the wild, there is no other possibility. Even if this group of people is Back in the city, that was also a major factor of instability. Of course, it won’t work if you don’t let them come back. There was such a big incident last year, and one of my classmates passed away—"

"Ok--"

I subconsciously wanted to say that I knew that Zhao Liangliang hadn't twisted the root of his tongue before he changed his mouth: "I listened to what you said before. Do I really agree with the individual economy discussed above?"

"Otherwise, the entire country is responsible, or else they have to make a living on their own. There is no other way."

Zheng Jianguo saw it very thoroughly. The old man traveled around the world almost last year to investigate. If he can’t find that opening up and letting go is the focus of reform, then he underestimated the experience of three ups and downs: "This is similar to my experiment Either it is wrong, there is no reaction or result at all. You know what I am most afraid of doing experiments is this, because it means that you are wrong from the idea to the design. The results of the experiment are taken for granted."

He almost blurted out Zhao Nan, who he shouldn’t know. Zhao Liangliang’s vigilance has already been mentioned as the highest at this moment. The atomic graphite layer paper published by himself was published at this moment. With the good personal relationship between the two, he I already know that the relevant departments have checked this out.

It’s just that this investigation started after Zhao Nan died of illness, and the investigators could not show signs of investigating him, so it took more than half a year to discover that his character was never good at speech since the beginning of 1977. Introverted, dull and mature, he has his own unique opinions and opinions on everything: "Do you think these few people are troublesome?"
