reborn in the fiery age

At the beginning of Lao Mo’s establishment, Sun Zujie was still wearing crotch pants. At that time, the country had just been liberated and was in a poor and poor stage. Such a luxurious restaurant, even in the capital Beijing, seemed very out of place.

But speaking of it, there is a reason to open such an old Mo, because it is not opened for the common people at all.Without a ticket, ordinary people would not be allowed to go at all, and of course they would not be able to afford it.

At that time, a large number of Maozi experts came to China to assist in the construction, and many students, scholars, and technical personnel were sent to the Soviet Union for study and exchange.

These experts and scholars mainly gathered in the capital. In order to take care of their "homesickness", this Russian-style western restaurant was opened under the care of the central government. In order to fully demonstrate the friendship between the two countries, it was named after the capital of Maozi. .

Therefore, at the beginning of its opening, Lao Mo mainly served experts who aided China, intellectuals who returned from studying abroad, and officials stationed in China from some other countries.

National leaders in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China often received important foreign guests here.Therefore, as soon as Lao Mo opened its doors, it was quickly known by the general public in the capital, but what made it famous is not only its nobility, magnificence and exotic cultural color.

It is because many people have never been there, have never seen what Lao Mo looks like from the outside, and have never gone in.But if you don't know Lao Mo, then you are outdated and don't care about national affairs.

As we all know, it took less than 20 years for the relationship between Huaguo and Maozi to go from intimacy to military encounter. At this time, you no longer need a ticket to eat at Lao Mo, but fewer people go because you really can’t eat. Get up!

At this time, the monthly income of ordinary workers is only 40 yuan. If two or three people go in and spend once, it is estimated that the monthly salary will be gone. Of course, no one can bear it.

By this time, Lao Mo has become a place where veterans, veterans, and even recalcitrants hang out.Many young people, especially the children of the big courtyard like Yang Xi, although their parents may have a hard time, but after all, their families are well-off, and it is not a problem for them to go to Lao Moer for dinner in a gang. Yes, and then show it off in front of my friends, I went to Lao Mo today, take a look, take a look at the envious and jealous expressions of the little brothers, not to mention how happy I am.

Because of the times, Lao Mo, Sun Zujie and Yang Xi couldn’t eat exquisite Russian-style western food at this time. They could only eat roasted eggplant, fried tomatoes with eggs, sliced ​​meat, and fried rice with eggs. This is called Chinese food. , is also a unique flavor.

Seeing Yang Xi frowning and putting a piece of eggplant into his mouth with a knife and fork, Sun Zujie couldn't help laughing, it's so interesting!

Of course Yang Xi understood what Sun Zujie was laughing at. They had been in Japan for more than a year and had eaten many western meals with the guests. Lao Mo had such an obvious European style, a huge restaurant, clean tableware, snow-white napkins, smiling service, eager After so many dishes, can you feel a stomach ache without laughing?

Yang Xi couldn't hold it back either, she said coquettishly, "Stop laughing, you're laughing so much I can't eat it, it's because we came at the wrong time, I heard it won't be long before we will switch back to Western food."

Sun Zujie finally suppressed his smile, "I still like it now, that's what I should do, domineering!"

When Yang Xi heard what Sun Zujie said, he also covered his mouth and laughed.Sun Zujie looked around, why didn't he see Yang Xi's friend, "Where is your friend, when will you come over?"

Yang Xi was a little flustered and unhappy, she gave Sun Zujie a white look, "What's the rush, maybe I'm late due to the traffic jam."

Sun Zujie let out a cry, and immediately shut up. At this time, the capital can also be stuck in traffic. It seems that Comrade Yang Xi has a long-term vision.At this time, the atmosphere between the two of them immediately became a little ambiguous, and Sun Zujie had to change the subject, "Yang Xi, why is the organization still not letting us go back to Japan?"

Yang Xi also felt a little strange, but after all, she was better informed than Sun Zujie, so she restrained her shyness a little, and gave him another look, "Sun Zujie, I don't know what you did in the country of Japan? You robbed the country of more than a billion yuan. , I heard that the little devil sued us, how can you let us go back?"

Sun Zujie suddenly realized, "Tch, the little devils are really stingy, how much money is this, it's just a drop in the bucket for them, it's too petty to sue them all!"

Yang Xi was very proud at this time, "My dad said that little devils have always done things like this. They are small-minded and only want to make a profit. If you suffer a little loss, you can't bear it. You still have the ability, a billion or so, although It's Wowon, but it can do a lot of things!"

Sun Zujie shook his head, "This amount of money is a lot for an individual, but it is too little for a country!"

"If you say you are fat, you will be panting. You can also consider the affairs of the country?"

"Silly girl, this is a humble person who dares not forget to worry about the country. If you don't even know this, how can you be the successor of socialism?"

Yang Xi liked Sun Zujie like this, so she wasn't angry, but just said with a smile, "You're right, but no matter how true you are, it's useless, the little devil won't let you go back, what can you do?"

Sun Zujie scratched his head, "If you don't let it go, you won't let it go, just to rest for a while. Then"

Having said that, Sun Zujie suddenly paused, the well-behaved Yang Xi invited her to dinner, there was no need to make her unhappy.Yang Xi heard half of it, and wondered, "Then what?"

Sun Zujie rolled his eyes, "Then I went to university and started working on electronic products this year. I found that I lacked a lot of professional knowledge, so I had to recharge."

Yang Ximei's eyes widened, and she looked at Sun Zujie in disbelief, "You are already a department-level cadre, and you still want to go to college?"

Just as Sun Zujie was about to answer, he heard a lazy voice, "Director-level cadre? Xiaoxi, are you joking? Look, this kid has no hair. If he is a department-level cadre, I am still the leader of the Government Affairs Council?"

After Sun Zujie heard this, he frowned, but did not speak. This must be someone Yang Xi knew, and he called her Xiaoxi. That identity must not be simple, and of course she has to settle it by herself.

Yang Xi immediately stood up, as if his hair was blown up, and flew into a rage, "Ma Xiaoming, we are talking about work, what are you talking about here?"

"Oh, oh, talk about work? Come to Lao Mo to talk about work, Yang Xi, you are still the first. Don't be embarrassed, you are also a big girl. I, Ma Xiaoming, know it, or you just don't like me.

Look at this kid who looks like a dog, and has four pockets, you have to see clearly, don't be fooled, there is no place to cry. "

Sun Zujie looked at Yang Xi angry, anxious and ashamed, his face flushed red, and he had to come forward to rescue him, "Comrade Ma Xiaoming, you may have misunderstood, Comrade Yang Xi and I have worked together for a while, this time it happened to be We met in the capital, that's why Comrade Yang Xi brought me here to meet the market."

Ma Xiaoming looked at Sun Zujie suspiciously, and saw that his expression was very natural and open, and saw that Yang Xi was furious, with sparks in his eyes.Ma Xiaoming was a little confused, he rubbed his head, wanted to leave but was reluctant; don't leave, Yang Xi looked at him like knives were going to cut him off.

Ma Xiaoming was heartbroken, pulled a chair and sat down directly across Yang Xi, and said with a dry smile, "I'm sorry, you guys continue!"

Sun Zujie smiled secretly in his heart, continue, continue, you ghost, Yang Xiliu raised his eyebrows, "Who told you to sit down?" Then he glared at Sun Zujie, and said angrily, "Let's go!"

After saying this, Yang Xi turned around and left. Sun Zujie had to take a look at Ma Xiaoming, nodded apologetically, then packed up quickly and left Lao Mo.

Ma Xiaoming watched the two of them go out with a half-smile, grabbed a piece of meat from Yang Xi's bowl, and threw it into his own mouth. Suddenly he burst out laughing, laughing, tears streaming down his face.

Chapter 85

Yang Xi walked in front, Sun Zujie walked behind, the two were silent, walked for a while, Yang Xi suddenly stopped, and asked Sun Zujie, "Sun Zujie, why don't you ask me who Ma Xiaoming is?"

Sun Zujie shook his head with a smile, "This is your private matter, I have no reason to ask, but if you are willing to talk, I am willing to listen."

Yang Xi glared at Sun Zujie fiercely, "Sun Zujie, do you know that, this is the most annoying thing about you, you always seem to be an outsider, just standing by the side and watching quietly, as if you knew you would Like that."

Sun Zujie didn't respond, because Yang Xi was telling the truth. Although he had integrated into the times, some things were brought from his bones, and there was no way to change them.Having known him for a long time, Yang Xi can certainly tell.

Yang Xi didn't know why she started talking about Ma Xiaoming, she said sadly, "Ma Xiaoming is, I grew up in the same compound as I was, and we are classmates in the same class, elementary school, junior high school, high school, we are all in the same class .Later I was admitted to university, but he had a high fever a few days before the exam, so he didn't pass the exam."

Sun Zujie listened quietly to Yang Xi's words, only to hear Yang Xi continue, "I didn't expect to suspend the class in the second year. I don't know what he thought, but he became very active, so my father is determined not to let me I continued to communicate with him. Later he went to the countryside to become an educated youth, and I was assigned to the Ministry of Finance after graduating from university.

The year before last, he returned to the capital. When I met him again, I found that he had changed completely. He became cynical, bitter and mean, not motivated at all, and hung around all day without knowing what happened to him.I really couldn't bear it, so I wanted to change the environment, and then I met you. "

Sun Zujie listened to Yang Xi's narration, telling his troubles. He didn't make any comments. After thinking about it, he talked about himself and another person. In this great era, everyone will be affected. The key depends on yourself Tough enough.

"I don't have such good conditions as yours. I only studied in elementary school for one year, and then dropped out of school for more than a year. Later, relying on the support of the brigade secretary and fellow villagers, I went to a junior high school in the county.

When I first entered junior high school, there was an older girl at the same table, and the teacher asked us to help each other.I was poor at that time, and I could wear a pair of trousers for half a year, and I was shivering in the cold, so she secretly brought me all the food and clothing at home.

Later, I wrote a novel, made money, and learned to play Go, and that’s how I got to where I am today; as for her, she continued to study, and then transferred away with her mother. Slowly, we lost contact.

In those few years, I looked for her every year, and finally I was lucky and found her on a farm.She has changed a lot. She used to be a carefree little girl, but now she always has to worry about what she does. She is afraid of making mistakes in her errands and completely loses her vitality. "

Yang Xi's eyes immediately dimmed after hearing Sun Zujie's words. She already fully understood what Sun Zujie meant. This is life, it can't be perfect.

Yang Xi was stunned for a while, then suddenly asked, "You also wrote a novel, what's the name, and you made money?"

Sun Zujie smiled, "It's all an old thing, you should have watched the movie adapted from this novel, did you release the secret blueprint in your compound?"

Yang Xi suddenly screamed, frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly covered his mouth, "So that Sun Zujie in the movie is really you, how old are you then?"

Sun Zujie nodded proudly, he needed to dilute the sentimental atmosphere, "That's right, young geniuses are not shouting for nothing."

Yang Xi gave Sun Zujie a white look, "Look at you!"

When we got back to the hotel, Sun Zujie and Yang Xi were chatting about something, a staff member came over to inform, "Comrade Sun Zujie, oh, Comrade Yang Xi is also here, this is just right, so I don't have to make a second trip."
