Rebirth 1981 starts with saving the sisters from the neighboring village.

On the weekend, Peng Wanhua was preparing to go out, but he met Wang Debiao at the entrance of the alley, with a brand-new permanent bicycle standing next to him.

Since this kid became a clothes dealer, he has thrown away all his original coarse clothes. He wears a military coat all day long and rides a big [-]-inch pole back and forth like the wind. He is very grand.

"Brother, someone is looking for you."

Wang Debiao looked away, and Peng Wanhua saw a blond girl with blue eyes.

Who is not Catherine?

Next to this girl is a foreign friend with deep eyes.

Peng Wanhua was about to step forward to shake hands, but unexpectedly, Catherine rushed forward and gave him a warm hug.

He was a little confused, holding his hands up, not knowing where to put them.

After the meeting etiquette, Peng Wanhua chatted with her for a while before he knew the purpose of this foreign girl's visit.

It turned out that after Catherine went back to develop the photos last time, she found that the results were very good.

But after searching for several days in the Forbidden City, she couldn't find Peng Wanhua, so she returned to the United States with the photos.

At that time, the National Geographic of the United States was collecting photos of the mainland. Because China and the United States were in the honeymoon period, the US government wanted to change domestic people’s impression of the mainland through publicity, promote Sino-Milan relations, and allow more American-funded companies to set up factories in the mainland. .

Catherine thought the pay was quite high and her photos looked pretty, so she mailed all the photos Peng Wanhua took for her and the photos she took herself.

Unexpectedly, all the photos Peng Wanhua took for her were accepted, and only one she took herself was accepted. Even so, she received a five-digit photo copyright fee.

It took a lot of trouble to find Peng Wanhua this time.

When Catherine couldn't find anyone in the Forbidden City several times, she copied his photo and found someone through the embassy's connections. Finally, she was discovered by Wang Debiao, who was doing business on Xiushui Street.

After Wang Debiao's confirmation, he realized that this foreign girl didn't have any malicious intentions in seeking Peng Wanhua.

I just brought Catherine and someone from the American Embassy here today.

After some communication with Catherine, Peng Wanhua understood her purpose.

The first is to thank him for the photos and guidance he took before, and is willing to share a copyright fee with him; the second is to invite him to continue taking photos together, and the subsequent fees will be shared equally between the two.

Peng Wanhua thought for a while and realized that there were a lot of things going on recently, so he refused: "Thank you for your kindness. I also guided you to take photos out of friendship before, so I don't want the copyright fee."

When Catherine heard that Peng Wanhua did not want the money, her favorable impression of him doubled. After all, she was not rich either. She was originally a poor student and she came to the mainland to travel because it was cheap.

In addition, various expenses were high during this period, and she spent a lot of money. If she really had to split half of it out, she probably wouldn't have much left on her hands.

Peng Wanhua didn't care whether she was sincere or fake. He didn't care about the money or time, so he continued: "Besides, I've been busy recently and don't have time to accompany you to take pictures. From now on, you can take pictures by yourself as I teach you." Bar."

When Catherine heard this, the smile suddenly froze on her face.

She also thought that Peng Wanhua was not satisfied with the share ratio, so she discussed: "If you are not satisfied with this ratio, actually June 70.00th, or even July 30.00rd is also okay, you [-]%, I [-]%."

Even though Peng Wanhua had coached her, Catherine knew that her photography skills were not good, so as long as Peng Wanhua agreed, she was willing to take only 30.00% of it.

Seeing that she continued to persuade him, Peng Wanhua continued in English: "I'm not dissatisfied with the share ratio, but I really don't have time."

Catherine pouted. How could she know that Peng Wanhua really didn't have time? I thought Peng Wanhua was still dissatisfied.

After all, in her understanding, mainlanders are still relatively poor. With such a large amount of money, how could there be any reason not to use it?

Seeing Peng Wanhua refuse again, she thought it was due to lack of support.

But she had something to ask for, so she could only plead in a low voice: "If you are dissatisfied with the ratio, then I am willing to only take 20.00%!"

Peng Wanhua smiled bitterly, why couldn't this foreign girl understand? It's really worrying.

Looking at the foreigner behind Catherine, Peng Wanhua heard what Catherine just said and thought that this should be someone from the embassy.

Peng Wanhua said to him: "Please help me persuade her. I really don't have time, and it really isn't about money."

The foreigner didn't understand what Peng Wanhua meant at all, and said bluntly: "I came with her. You can talk to her about the specific matters. I won't interfere."

Peng Wanhua is really bald. This foreigner is so straight. Don’t you understand what I mean? Do you have to force me to evict people?

Fortunately, Catherine still had some emotional intelligence. Seeing his embarrassed look, she felt that it might not be clear for a while, so she left first.

Seeing Catherine go back, Peng Wanhua breathed a sigh of relief. Dealing with foreigners was really nerve-wracking, so he couldn't rush. Otherwise, if someone accuses me of obstructing diplomacy, it is really unjustifiable.

He continued to go to Dayouzhuang Changle Courtyard to check the progress of the courtyard every day.

Deep excavation of the backyard lake has been completed and hardening of the track has begun.

The rooms should be pushed forward, and most of the remaining houses only need minor repairs.

Apart from the planned swimming pool and gym, not much is to be built.

The surrounding trees and green plants are continuously supplied from the gardening market.

Most of them are cypress, red pine, crabapple, osmanthus and camphor.

Peng Wanhua ended up planting a few sweet-scented osmanthus trees. The feeling of planting trees himself and watching the yard gradually improve gave him a sense of accomplishment.

He looked at the ripples of the lake not far away, and his mood improved, and he was reluctant to leave at night.

Whistling all the way back to the courtyard along Kunming Lake East Road.

I went to school early the next morning. As soon as I came out of the alley, I saw Catherine already guarding the entrance of the alley.

"Hey, good morning, why are you here again?"

Peng Wanhua sighed that this foreign girl was so persistent.

"Good morning." Catherine greeted, looking at the book under his arm, she asked curiously: "Are you a university teacher?"

Peng Wanhua was speechless...

Explained to her: "I'm still a student, a freshman."

"Oh!" Catherine opened her big dark blue gem-like eyes and said in surprise: "You are still a student? How old are you, and why do you look almost as old as my daddy?"

Peng Wanhua rolled his eyes helplessly. If you can't speak, can you just speak less?

He had already explained the age issue many times, but he was too cold and hungry to talk about it at the moment, so he walked to the campus with his books in his arms.

Catherine reached out to stop him, took out an envelope from her bag and stuffed it into his arms.

Peng Wanhua opened it and saw that it was a stack of foreign exchange coupons.

At this time, the country's foreign exchange was scarce and strictly managed. In order to facilitate foreign friends' domestic consumption, foreign exchange coupons were issued, which were equivalent to the local currency.

Peng Wanhua made a rough estimate, and found that a foreign exchange coupon of about 1 yuan would be equivalent to about [-] US dollars.

"What are you doing?" Peng Wanhua stuffed the money back.

Catherine smiled and said: "I said before that you would have a share of the copyright fee, and this is the share given to you."

She felt that she might not have been sincere enough yesterday, so she specially exchanged foreign exchange coupons to bring them to him today, thinking: Real money should impress him more, right?
