Hello 1983

Liu Yinfeng jumped over and grabbed Liu Qingshan's arm tightly, her delicate face flushed with excitement.

Liu Qingshan couldn't help baring his teeth and shouting: "Second Sister, it hurts, you hurt me!"

Only then did Liu Yinfeng let go, and saw several nail prints on his younger brother's arm, and couldn't help feeling distressed, rubbing it gently with his hands.

"Sister was too excited just now, brother, how can you speak English so well?"

The rest of the people also looked over searchingly.

Liu Qingshan blinked: "Professor Wang that we sent down in Jiapigou before, you remember, I learned from him."

"Old Wang, it's been several years. He's an overseas student, and he's used to drinking foreign ink."

Grandpa and Professor Wang got along very well at that time, and unintentionally helped his grandson lie.

Liu Yinfeng smiled brightly, like a blooming flower: "Brother, come in quickly and teach my sister English. It's all right now, you will tutor my sister in the future, and I will definitely be able to enter the university next year!"

Everyone also showed gratified smiles on their faces, only Liu Qingshan smacked his lips: Did you all go astray, just now you said to exchange Clivia for money, how did you go to learn English?

This matter cannot be delayed!

……

Whoa whoa!

In the early morning, amidst the loud rooster crowing, Liu Qingshan had already returned from the edge of the well carrying a pole.

In the past, it was the eldest sister who carried the water, but now, Liu Qingshan felt that, as the only man in the family, he should take on this task.

After filling up the water tank, I was sweating profusely, and my shoulders were still burning.

After breakfast, Liu Qingshan and his party set off, and the destination was of course Spring City.

"Qingshan, take good care of grandpa on the way." The eldest sister urged.

"Pack up the letter of introduction, and don't forget to change the letter of introduction when you arrive at the commune."

The second sister is usually a boring gourd, but now she also started nagging.

Lin Zhi was also a little worried, pulled her son and said: "Qingshan, you must take care of the money and food stamps in your pocket!"

"Don't worry, Mom, I promise you won't lose it."

Liu Qingshan patted the root of his thigh, and responded with a full mouth.

Last night, Lin Zhi sewed 30 yuan and ten catties of food stamps onto her underpants.

My own family and all the belongings of my grandfather's family are in it.

"Brother, come back soon!" The little fourth also waved his little hand.

"Be obedient, brother, come back and buy you delicious food and toffee!" Liu Qingshan pushed his bicycle, behind which was his grandfather Liu Shikui.

Behind them are Da Tou and Er Biaozi, each of them is carrying a small flower basket, which is tightly covered.

They want to send Liu Qingshan to the commune, and then push the bicycle back.

As for Gao Wenxue, this guy is also in a daze now, if anyone pulls him out of the manuscript paper, he has to be impatient with someone.

"Qingshan, you must be careful when you go out!"

Behind him, the mother's exhortation came, and the mother was worried when the son traveled thousands of miles. This is true.

She didn't know that her son, who traveled all over the country, had almost traveled all over the country, and it wasn't the first time he went out.

From Jiapigou to the commune, nearly [-] miles away, all dirt roads are full of potholes.

Liu Qingshan will ride for a while when he encounters a place that is easy to walk; if the place is too bumpy, he will push for a while, and wait for the little brothers behind when he is tired.

It's not that he wants to be easy and dominates the bicycle, but that the two friends behind him really don't know how to ride a bicycle, and they can push the cart into the ditch.

Grandpa was still sitting in the car, Liu Qingshan didn't worry about handing over the bicycle to them.

It took nearly two hours to arrive at Qingshan Commune. The road was replaced by a gravel road, and the buildings on both sides of the road were also turned into brick and tile structures.

These are some of the main units of the commune: health center, food station, horse station, purchase department, etc., of course, the most popular supply and marketing cooperative is indispensable.

Slogans written or printed on the walls can be seen everywhere: Of course, the supply and marketing cooperatives say "guarantee supply", and the health centers say "everyone is responsible for family planning."

Liu Qingshan didn't understand: Everyone is responsible, even a child of how old is also responsible?

The slogan on the wall of the commune is the most eye-catching. It is carved with cement and then painted with white ash. It reads "Learn from Dazhai in agriculture".

Liu Qingshan entered through the gate next to this slogan, and then replaced the letter of introduction issued by the village with the official letter of introduction from the commune.

These days, without a letter of introduction, it is absolutely impossible to move forward.

No one cares about you when you eat, and no one cares about you when you stay in a hotel. How do you live?

As for the reason, of course it can't be to go to Spring City to buy flowers, then they won't bloom for you at all.Therefore, I can only pull grandpa out: treat the eyes.

Moreover, Liu Qingshan really intended to do so. No matter what, he had to find a way to perform cataract surgery on his grandfather. In this life, he could not let his grandfather continue to be blind.

After opening the letter of introduction, at noon, Liu Qingshan bought four big white steamed buns in the commune cafeteria: five cents plus a food stamp of two taels.

It cost another ten and two cents, and a large bowl of egg soup was brought up. Liu Qingshan filled a bowl for grandpa first, and the younger brothers shared the rest.

A bowl of soup and a steamed bun is enough for the old man, and the rest are half-sized, so I will eat to death.

It would be nice to have a meal of white flour steamed buns during Chinese New Year and festivals, which is not enough, so let’s make up for the spare intestines with the pancakes you brought.

Liu Qingshan took a bite of the big steamed bun, it was soft and chewy, with the aroma of fermented flour, and there was a slight aftertaste after chewing.

You said, why can’t you taste this taste later?

A total of thirty-two cents and eight taels of food stamps were spent, and the four of them were well fed.

After leaving the cafeteria, Datou and Er Biaozi happily pushed the car back, while Liu Qingshan and his grandfather waited for the bus under the shade of the trees by the side of the road.

This is a one-day trip, don't miss it.

Finally, the bus came, and I got on the bus to buy a ticket. The female conductor saw that Liu Qingshan was still carrying a load, with two flower baskets hanging on it, and she yelled, "Put your things on the rack on the bus!"

In this day and age, the service attitude of the service industry is generally not very good. People eat public meals and feel superior to others.

By the way, the buses at this moment are all on the roof outside, with racks for loading.

When passengers pick up and place goods, they have to climb up a small ladder at the back of the car. After putting the goods away, they are finally covered with a large net made of ropes.

There are treasures in the flower basket, how can it be put on the roof of the car, what if it falls off?

Liu Qingshan smiled and approached: "Sister, you look so handsome, if you don't stare, you must look better."

Puchi, the female conductor was amused by his talk, she waved her hand and told him to get on the bus.

It seems that desserts are still necessary when going out.

The road was bumpy and bumpy, and I staggered to the county.

Through the car window, Liu Qingshan looked at this strange but familiar small town: there are no tall buildings, and the tallest building is only four floors.

Most of the pedestrians on the road are also riding bicycles, with a bag hanging on the handlebars, and their faces are peaceful and satisfied.

This is the characteristic of this era. The pace of life has not yet soared. Although people's lives are hard and simple, they are full of flavor.

If you only talk about the happiness index, it is estimated that people at this time are the highest.

Don't worry about scarcity but inequality. The gap between people in this era is really not that big.

Looking around all the way, Liu Qingshan didn't figure out any short, flat and quick way to make money.

Even his original plan to sell vegetables in the county was shaken a little, because when he passed by the vegetable market, he unexpectedly discovered that it was very prosperous, and it was not his turn to be the first bird at all.

In the past two years, the policies of the higher authorities have been loosened, so people who have been suffocating for a long time have burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm. A great era of rapid development is coming.

Chapter 7 Trendy Youth

At noon the next day, Liu Qingshan carried the burden and led his grandfather, sweating profusely, got off the green leather train and out of the crowded Chuncheng Railway Station.

Compared with county towns, provincial capitals like Chuncheng are a bit more colorful: people coming and going are dressed more brightly, and there are quite a few older girls and daughters-in-law in long dresses.

In addition to buses, there are also some green big Jiefang trucks, and occasionally black cars can be seen, attracting people's envious eyes.

On both sides of the road, there are more buildings, and the signboards of the shops are also colorful.

If, in Jiapigou and Qingshan Commune, what you see is a black and white photo; then Spring City has already been replaced with a color one, and it will become more and more colorful.

"The city is much more lively than before."

Although grandpa couldn't see clearly, the sound of vehicle horns and noisy crowds in his ears still made the old man sigh.

The old man is not a small farmer who has never been to the city in his life. He has eaten and seen it before.

"Grandpa, drink some water first."

Liu Qingshan put down the pick, took off the army green water bottle on his body, unscrewed the lid, and handed it to his grandfather.

In this era, almost every household has a kettle of this kind.

After taking two sips of water, the old man handed it back, Liu Qingshan tilted his neck towards the spout, and gurgled it all.

"Do you want to take a car?"

There was a voice from the side, Liu Qingshan turned his head and saw that it was a three-wheeler. It seems that this era is really about to wake up.

Although I really want to sit, but the money in my pocket does not allow it.

The total is only thirty or so yuan, and the round-trip travel expenses plus board and lodging are enough for the father and the father to live in Chuncheng for three to five days. It really takes careful planning and spending.

"Uncle, thank you, we don't take the car."

Liu Qingshan smiled at the middle-aged man who was pedaling a bicycle, and asked again: "Uncle, how can I get to Chaoyang Park?"

The people at this time were still very simple. Although they didn't get any business, the other party still introduced the route in detail, and explained clearly how to get there by car.

Liu Qingshan bowed again and again to express his gratitude. If this is left to future generations, if you ask the taxi driver about it, you may be sent to the North Pole.

Carrying the burden and continuing on the road, I finally saw a bus stop, and a large group of people were waiting for the bus.

Liu Qingshan led his grandfather over there, and just as he put down his burden, a horn sounded not far away, indicating that the bus was about to arrive.

Everyone rushed up one after another, almost staggering Liu Shikui who was caught off guard.

"Hey, what are you squeezing, hurrying to reincarnate, don't you see that there is an old man here!"

A slightly high-pitched voice sounded in the crowd.

The people around subconsciously gave way, while Liu Qingshan was leaning on a pole and looking around, a smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

On the opposite side are two young people dressed in "different" clothes, a man and a woman, both wearing bell-bottom trousers, which are tight at the top and wide at the bottom, and their buttocks are tight. When they reach the trouser legs, they let go suddenly. The trousers are a foot long, like a big bell-bottom of.

These two have black toad mirrors stuck on their noses.The young man combed four to six points, his hair was oily, and it seemed that he did not lack hair oil.

There is a nursery rhyme that says: If you have a big back and two taels of oil, you will not worry about marrying a daughter-in-law.

The young woman was also more fashionable, with shawl-length hair in big waves and red lips.

It's just a little too red, as if I just drank pig's blood and didn't wipe my mouth.

On the other hand, Liu Qingshan was wearing cloth shoes, blue cloth trousers with patches, his upper body was a worn-out vest, and a coarse cloth gown was padded on his shoulders.

Just now, he was still carrying a burden, and at first glance he was a countryman who had entered the city.

These two types of people are also the representatives of this era.

In this era, flared trousers, flowered shirts, toad mirrors, and a Sanyang tape recorder on the shoulder, in the eyes of most people, are bad young people who are deviant.

In fact, it is just the beginning of the young people's pursuit of freedom and liberation, so there is no need to make a fuss.

Besides, the other party will help me to speak, so naturally I want to thank him.

So Liu Qingshan grinned, showing his white teeth, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you!"

"Hi, you're welcome!"

The young man waved his hand and said disapprovingly.

"Brother, your outfits are too cool!" Liu Qingshan said after raising his hands.

cool?

The young man took off his sunglasses, put them in his shirt pocket, and asked a little puzzled, "What do you mean by cool? Are you scolding us or praising us?"

The young woman is also blinking, is this the dialect there?

Liu Qingshan followed with a smile and said, "This cool is the transliteration of the English COOL, and it is popular in the United States."
