Rebirth: My 80s

The Mercedes-Benz W126 was parked outside Wang's house in Liuchi Lane. Lao Wang connected a water pipe from the house, and the water washed away the dust and dust that had been driven back from Baoding. The orange sunlight shone on the black paint, shining brightly. .

At first glance, it looks exactly like the untouched original car.

Comrade Xiao Wei's craftsmanship is still nothing to say.

A large number of neighbors were attracted and surrounded Da Ben on three floors inside and three floors outside. Everyone looked envious, and their laughter was about to drip out of the ground.

In fact, ordinary people these days don’t know much about cars. They just think that this car is so big and domineering, and it looks precious inside and out. They have never seen it on the road.

So it feels rare.

There are many people asking questions, such as where to buy it, how much it costs, etc.

The gift giver, Li Jiankun, was so vague that everyone thought that there were all over the south, and that three to five households worth ten thousand yuan could win.

Uncle Geng, a neighbor of Lao Wang's family, waved his hand: "In two years, ask my son to build a car too!"

He has a young son who is an educated youth and has returned to the city without a job. He used to be self-employed, not to mention looked down upon by his neighbors, and his own family was not welcome to see him. After the dual-track price system was introduced, because his family also had some connections, he made a lot of money, and the neighbors The neighbors didn't say anything, but they were jealous in their hearts, and their status in the family also increased.

Xiao Wang: "Haha~"

Although he didn't understand, Jiankun told him the origin of this car, including that it was dismantled in Baoding.

It feels a little distressing, but it doesn’t matter if you think about it. Just like Jiankun said: "As for the car, just drive it. If it breaks, replace it."

The big house of Lao Wang's family was already decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and 囍 paper was pasted on the doors and windows. It was really inconvenient for relatives from their hometown to come over, so Lao Wang and his wife didn't force them. Most of these festive decorations were made by Lao Li's mother and daughter. The three of them had been living here since the day before yesterday.

"I said, Dad, stop washing, I have to go out." Wang Shanhe said.

After getting the new car, he naturally couldn't wait to drive around. Besides, he did have something urgent to do.

"It's almost done, wait for me to wipe it." Even a wealthy man like Lao Wang, who is in his 20s or 800s, cherishes this big Ben just as much as ordinary people cherish the big phoenix.

"What are you going to do?" Li Jiankun asked sideways.

"Buy a TV."

"You haven't bought a TV yet?!"

"You think it's so easy to buy? This year is different from previous years. Even the Friendship Store can't supply the goods. Now they are all allocated and purchased by appointment."

As Wang Shanhe said this, he took out a coupon from his leather jacket with a fur collar and showed it to Li Jiankun.

There are seven characters on the letterhead - color TV reservation purchase coupon.

The content is: With this coupon, you can make an appointment to purchase a color TV set.

There are three official seals on it, those of the Municipal Planning Commission, the District Committee, and the unit seal of the "Second Machinery Manufacturing Factory".

Xiao Wang took out a red-skinned work card from his pocket and explained: "If you have a coupon, you have to buy it with your work card. It cost me a thousand yuan just to do this."

Li Jiankun didn't complain that he didn't say something earlier, which made him feel a little sad.

He often travels between the Special Administrative Region and the port city. Many resources are in short supply these days, so he doesn't feel that way. And for people living in inland areas, even if they are not short of money like Xiao Wang, it is still not easy to get supplies that are in short supply.

Xiao Wang asked him to drive the car out of the alley and wait until it was on the main road before changing hands.

Just as the two were driving to the designated shopping mall, a scene similar to the one in front of Wang's house was also happening in the Dongjiao Min Lane of Wudaokou.

Outside the Shen family's small courtyard, a red "big-toe shoe" car was parked.

Neighbors came over to watch the fun.

Shen Zhuang stood at the door of the courtyard, letting them look and not caring. However, if anyone acted arrogantly, he would have to say something. There is inevitably a sense of pride on the little face——

In the entire Dongjiaomin Alley, their family was the first to have a private car.

So when his father said he wanted to give it back, regardless of his sister's attitude, he was the first to refuse.

In the house, unlike the Wang family, there was no joyous atmosphere, and Shen Hongyi got into trouble because of this.

"You just accepted such an expensive thing?" Shen Xueshan sat in a wheelchair, frowning and looking at his daughter.

Neighbors know it all, and everyone knows that with their family’s income, they cannot afford to buy a car. What do you say when people ask?

Did your daughter's friend buy it for you?

How much does it cost for ordinary people to give betrothal gifts?

So should this daughter get married?

Shen Hongyi didn't care about the car. In her heart, it wasn't a car, but a sentiment that had been sent all the way from the south to the capital. She couldn't return it, as that would break his heart.

"Dad, do you still look down on him now? Look at the society outside." She said.

"I have never looked down on him. I have always thought that he has great abilities. The problem is that he has used his abilities in the wrong place!" Shen Xueshan paused and asked, "You are a college student. Tell yourself, is this a bit evil? "

Shen Hongyi was speechless. She knew that in her father's heart, if he had a choice, he must protect his family and the country.

And his starting point is also for his own good - to use his deep-rooted concepts to find a popular and professional husband for his only daughter.

It's just that he doesn't understand her, nor him.

Can't tell.

"Xueshan, can you stop being so stubborn? Look at your daughter's face and hands. They are all scratched by the knife. Why don't you feel bad for her?" Shen's mother complained.

"Go, go, what do you know?"

"Old stubborn."

"Dad, don't say anything. I won't return this car. I told you before that I will only marry him in this life."

"you!"

As for Li Jiankun and Wang Shanhe, when they drove their Mercedes-Benz to the designated department store, they turned around 10,000 percent of the time - many people stopped and looked at them, and only looked away when they could no longer see them.

"It's so exciting!"

Xiao Wang slipped down, his heart was racing, and he was completely unsatisfied.

The first thing he learned was the Jiefang car, which was really difficult to drive. After thinking about it, he would never be able to drive it, so he found a way to get a Jeep 212 to learn from, thinking that it was already quite easy to drive and exciting.

Now that I have driven this Daben, I realize that there is no difference between the Phuket 212 and a walking tractor.

"Let's go, let's touch it slowly in the future, and get the color TV back first." Li Jiankun patted away his hand that was stroking around in the car.

As soon as the two left, Daben parked beside the curb and attracted a crowd of "large troops" to watch.

This is the largest shopping mall in Haidian, with the most complete range of products. As soon as the two entered the door, they saw an area that was overcrowded. Thousands of people rushed to the counter, and their hands holding money and coupons were stretched out, just like Li Jiankun's impression. Scenes from several horror movies——

A group of people are trapped in a desperate situation and are looking forward to rescue when disaster strikes.

"What are you selling?" Li Jiankun asked curiously.

"coffee."

Xiao Wang explained that coffee has now become the most in-demand drink. In houses with better conditions, guests are always served coffee when they come to the door. There are also many music venues in the capital, and people always order a cup of coffee when they visit.

The coffee sold here is all up for grabs, and it will be gone if you are late.

"Can you get used to it?" Li Jiankun was slightly speechless. He had never gotten used to drinking coffee in his entire life.

"It tastes terrible!" Xiao Wang complained, and then added, "But does it matter? Everyone is following this trend, and I have stocked up a lot. If I don't serve coffee during the wedding or the Spring Festival, the guests will probably think I am mean."

Li Jiankun sighed secretly.

The area where electrical appliances are sold is also on the first floor. It is probably the most crowded area in the whole mall. It is crowded and crowded. The eyes of the "blue jackets" looking at the counter all reveal their passion. .

Li Jiankun originally thought that most people were just enjoying the sight, but when he got closer, he realized that he was wrong. Nine out of ten people around him actually had money.

"You see, items that were too expensive to count on in the past can now be purchased by just anyone on the street," Xiao Wang said.

Li Jiankun looked around and found that not everyone looked like a wealthy person. A word suddenly came to his mind - wave consumption.

Or called comparative consumption.

These days, the income of most families is still about the same. If you dare to dig into your pocket or even borrow money to buy it, why shouldn’t I?

People are comparing themselves to each other.

From an economic point of view, this is naturally a good thing.

However, Li Jiankun also saw that the innocence and simplicity of working people were slowly disappearing.

"Jiankun, this way!" Xiao Wang squeezed into an area selling refrigerators.

Li Jiankun looked in the direction of his finger and saw several vertical double-door refrigerators placed together. They were of the same style and had the brand logo - Qingxi brand on them.

Naturally, he was no stranger to this kind of refrigerator. There was one in the courtyard of Niangniang Temple.

"The result of you and my dad." Xiao Wang chuckled, then grabbed an indifferent salesperson and asked, "Comrade, how are the sales of Qingxi refrigerators?"

"Nonsense! You have a ticket but you don't have a ticket. Don't squeeze in if you don't have a ticket!"

Xiao Wang turned to look at Li Jiankun, his eyebrows dancing with joy. He certainly has no shortage of refrigerators.

For many people buying these home appliances, money is not an issue, the main problem is the lack of coupons. The number of special coupons is very limited, and a large part is circulated on the black market. The price of a coupon may reach half of the product itself.

"Hurry up and get the TV show, I think it's almost sold out." Li Jiankun said.

"How dare he! I have a reservation!"

Having said that, Xiao Wang was not sure, so he rushed to the place that sold color TV sets. The only thing missing from his three wedding items was a color TV set.

In the early years, the three most important wedding items, also known as the "old three items", were bicycles, watches and sewing machines.

Now in big cities, that doesn’t quite work.

Into three new items: a color TV, a refrigerator and a washing machine.

If these three things can be fulfilled in a marriage, then it is called a serious and dignified marriage. The man and woman have respect in their families, and their relatives, friends, and neighbors should take good care of them.

Naturally, the old Wang family cannot afford to lose this share.

"Your name is Liu Shengli?" The salesperson held the reservation coupon and work permit he handed over with a suspicious look in his eyes.

"I can change my name, but I can't change my surname! It won't work if I become a bit whiter."

Xiao Wang slapped his hand on the counter with great momentum, which seemed to be some kind of experience technique.

PS: The update will be a bit unstable these days, and I have to travel far.
