Countercurrent 1978 starts with the production team

It was already a few days after they arrived in the capital. When Chu Jianghe and others left the station, they felt as if they were in another world.

Compared with the prosperity of the port city, this capital city is still on the eve of change, and no changes can be seen.

The two cities seem to be two worlds, which makes people feel a little unreal.

Ma Liang was also very emotional: "Brother, I have to say that those high-rise buildings in Hong Kong City are really impressive. When can we build so many high-rise buildings?"

"Don't worry, you will see it in a few years." Chu Jianghe was not interested in these tall buildings and said disapprovingly: "What is the use of building so many tall buildings?"

"It looks good. Doesn't the more tall buildings mean the more developed it is?"

Chu Jianghe didn't agree with Ma Liang's innocent thoughts at all, but he didn't bother to explain to him.

When seeing those tall buildings for the first time, I just sighed: Wow, they are so tall!

After seeing it too much, you become numb, there is nothing strange about it.

The high number of high-rise buildings represents the development of the economy, but the forced concentration of some resources in cities has led to a large gap in urban and rural development, leading to a comment: cities are like Europe, and rural areas are like Africa.

The average design life of high-rise residential buildings in the Mainland is about 50 years, and even skyscrapers have a limited lifespan.

In fact, many developers cut corners in order to save costs, which is not unusual.

Let’s not talk about the sequelae of these high-rise buildings such as aging buildings, aging elevators, aging equipment, and high maintenance costs.

Take the five- to seven-story residential buildings built in many cities in the 80s. After about 30 years, their appearance has become dilapidated, and many of these buildings have become dilapidated buildings.

The original apartment design was unreasonable, and there were no high-quality property services. If it were not for the restrictions of the school district, no one would be willing to take over these old and broken houses.

Many developers are unwilling to take over the renovation work of these dilapidated communities. These old communities have to build many floors on the original ground to make money, which is a thankless task.

Chu Jianghe and the others left the station. They first found two three-wheelers and loaded all the things they bought on them. Then they ordered Ma Liang to take Lao Wutou to the small courtyard where they rented before. Chu Jianghe followed the three people on their own. Reincarnated home.

He and his wife lived in the same courtyard. Although there were many rooms, it was somewhat inconvenient for Lao Wutou to live in them.

It was almost dusk and the weather was still hot.

Master Sanlun was very talkative and kept chatting with Chu Jianghe. Chu Jianghe was anxious to go home and chatted with him all the time.

Along the way, Chu Jianghe saw that several sections of road were under construction and several old houses were being demolished. The changes were coming bit by bit.

When he arrived at the door of the house, Chu Jianghe said hello, and Liu Yunfang hurried out of the house. When she saw him suddenly coming back, she had a surprise expression on her face: "You're back?"

"Well, I'm back."

Liu Yunfang saw that Chu Jianghe was carrying big and small bags and that there were so many things on the tricycle. She couldn't help but blame him: "Just come back when you come back. Why did you buy so many things?"

Chu Jianghe was also very happy to see his wife, and said with a smile: "I didn't buy much, they were all more practical. I don't have any change on me, so give the money to the master to make a knot."

Before leaving Shenzhen, he left all the money he had with Zheng Yueyue. He had always spent money lavishly, and he didn't notice that except for a few large Hong Kong dollars, there was not even a penny of RMB left on him.

"Oh." Liu Yunfang didn't care about blaming her man at this time, and hurriedly took out the money to settle the bill with the master. After some haggling, she paid the money and quickly moved the things home.

In the summer, people eat late, and most of the residents in the alley enjoy the shade in front of their homes. Seeing him busy at work in front of his home, a few people came over to help him.

"Young, this is another move."

Chu Jianghe usually lives in seclusion, and he doesn't deliberately keep a distance from them. It's just that he doesn't like to join in the fun.

After living here for a long time, all the neighbors are familiar with each other. Although they don't speak much, they will smile and nod when meeting people when coming in and out.

"No, this is not a trip to buy something. Don't get involved with me, just the two of us. They are just small items."

Liu Yunfang was often at home and was very familiar with them. She greeted them: "Brother Wang, Brother Li, we can do these things, so please stop working."

"Hey, you're welcome, it's just a matter of helping me."

The people who came to help started moving things without Chu Jianghe's instructions, but they were a little surprised when they saw the packaging.

"Young, they are all in foreign languages."

If you take a closer look at the picture on the package, no matter how stupid you are, you will know what it is.

"Imported TV?!"

This voice shouted out, attracting many people to watch.

This thing is a rare thing, and the price is not cheap. Ordinary people can't find a way to buy it.

Everyone knew that this house was in good condition. The two of them lived in such a big yard and kept it so well. They were all very envious.

Now when I see imported TVs again, I realize how big the gap is with others.

When I looked at the packaging of other items, which were all in foreign languages, I couldn’t help but marvel at how much so many items cost.

This family is amazing, it’s so irritating that they are so different from each other.

Liu Yunfang didn't know what Chu Jianghe bought or the specific price. Judging from the reactions of these people, she knew it wasn't cheap. She complained in her heart and started to blame her man for spending money indiscriminately.

But it was hard to talk about his manhood in front of so many people, so he had to suppress his emotions and ask everyone to move their things home first.

After he was done, Chu Jianghe politely took out his cigarettes and gave them to them.

"Smoking, smoking."

The person who helped was not polite. He took the cigarette and looked at it. He was surprised again: "Young man, I have never seen this cigarette before. Where did it come from?"

Chu Jianghe smiled, but did not say clearly: "Haha, it's nothing, I'm from the south."

"No wonder, I haven't seen it before, give it a try."

Chu Jianghe took out a lighter and lit it for them. As soon as the lighter was opened, it made a tinkling sound, which was very pleasant.

Unexpectedly, this lighter attracted the attention of a few more people: "This lighter is not bad, let me take a look."

Chu Jianghe didn't care and handed it over, watching several people turn over and look at the gadget.

He got this lighter from Zhao Shizong, and he fell in love with it at first sight. The brand was Dupont, and a gadget like this would probably cost several thousand Hong Kong dollars.

Several people marveled at the exquisiteness of this lighter and asked Chu Jianghe how much it was worth.

Chu Jianghe did not tell the real price, but said casually: "It's not much, it's just that we don't sell it here."

Several people knew as soon as they heard that he was not telling the truth. This thing looked expensive, and it was probably not cheap.

However, seeing that Chu Jianghe was unwilling to say anything, they were too embarrassed to ask. After reading it, they reluctantly returned the lighter to Chu Jianghe.

Seeing that the living room was filled with boxes of various sizes, he asked Chu Jianghe what he had bought.

Chu Jianghe also said to them: "This is a TV, this is a video recorder, a video tape..."

After several people heard it, they clicked their tongues again, and the video recorders came out.

Several people looked at Chu Jianghe eagerly, hoping that he could pretend to try it on the spot, but Chu Jianghe did not move and just chatted with them.

Seeing that Chu Jianghe had no intention of showing off, they stayed for a while and left after being polite.

Chu Jianghe had just returned home, and he really didn't want his home to turn into a video hall.

He politely sent a few people to the door, then turned and returned to the house.
