Rebirth 1958: My Home is in Nanluoguxiang

The last program of the first Spring Festival Gala kept many people awake all night. In the following few days, the adults did not smile as much as before the New Year, and only the children were still immersed in the joy of the New Year.

This situation did not continue until the fifth day after work began, when the second generation gave a high-level speech stating that established policies remained unchanged, which stabilized people's hearts.

Of course, the program organized by Chang Zhengyang also reminded the second generation that they should not allow certain people to abuse their power to get something for nothing, and they should make some fine-tuning of the system.

However, these have nothing to do with Chang Zhengyang anymore, and the current situation is not the time for him to take real action.

Although he has the ability to take action, others will only accept it lip service and will be hated instead. It would be better to wait until the Russian bear arrives before taking action, when the resistance will be much smaller.

As the days go by, there is news every day about someone getting rich overnight, and everyone starts to become restless.

There are more and more motorcycles on the streets, and even private cars are no longer rare.

The old people in the alley kept passing away. Chang Zhengyang sometimes took a walk after dinner. When he passed by a yard, he suddenly remembered that an old man in this family had passed away recently, and he couldn't help but sigh.

In order to avoid attracting attention, he now deliberately adds a layer of mental disguise to himself.

Now in the eyes of others, he looks like a handsome middle-aged man with some gray hair on both sides, slight nasolabial folds, and a very mature temperament.

More and more familiar people have passed away, for example, an old lady from Yard 93 passed away just a few days ago. When Chang Zhengyang saw Yi Zhonghai's spirit and vigor, he knew that he had only been around for the past two years.

She then thought about her grandparents, who were already in their nineties but still as vigorous and energetic as ever, and she felt a surge of emotion.

This is called fate. My grandpa and his friends are more than 20 years older than Yi Zhonghai. They can live to be 120 years old, but Yi Zhonghai only has a few more years to live.

As time passed, we said goodbye to the 1980s and entered the 1990s.

Young people in the hutongs who have the means have moved out and moved into buildings. In addition to middle-aged and elderly people, most of the hutongs are people from other places who have come to Beijing to seek opportunities.

The social changes are enormous. Food coupons, cloth coupons and the like have been cancelled. People no longer have to queue up to buy supplies. There are all kinds of goods in the shopping malls. As long as you have money, you can buy as much as you want.

People's clothing styles are also colorful and varied. In summer, it is not uncommon to see modern girls wearing black stockings.

Sewing machines, radios, bicycles and watches are no longer what people pursue. After entering the 1990s, color TVs, washing machines, refrigerators, telephones and motorcycles have become the new three things that make you happy.

Of course, having a new three-wheeler is nothing. He has a Tengfei computer at home, a Tengfei mobile phone hanging on his belt when he goes out, and the keys to the Tengfei car. He is definitely the most handsome guy in Yanjing City, and the rate of people turning their heads to look at him is absolutely 100%.

Chang Zhengyang walked into Courtyard 95 carrying the fish he had just caught today, and saw his mother, Ms. Guo, happily chatting with a fashionable lady in the flower hall.

"Mom, I caught some fish in Miyun Reservoir today and put them in the kitchen for you."

Ms. Guo turned around and waved to Chang Zhengyang, "Come here, son. Do you recognize her?"

Chang Zhengyang, who had originally planned to just say hello and leave, couldn't help but stop and look carefully at the noble lady opposite him, who was looking at him with a smile.

He looked at the noble lady. Compared to ordinary people, she was considered to be very well-maintained. At first glance, he thought she was a young woman in her thirties, but he could tell at a glance that the woman was already fifty.

At this point he began to search his memory bank and soon found the image corresponding to this noble lady.

"You are Lou Xiao'e!"

Chang Zhengyang remembered that this woman was Ms. Guo’s student Lou Xiao’e. It was said that she was almost forced to hang herself. Later, she came to Ms. Guo for asylum, and it was he who sent her to Hong Kong.

Lou Xiao'e's eyes lit up, and she bowed to Chang Zhengyang and said, "Dean Chang, thank you for saving my life."

Chang Zhengyang waved his hand and said, "It's just a small favor. When did you come to Yanjing?"

Lou Xiao'e shook her head and looked at Chang Zheng seriously, "I arrived yesterday. I came to Yanjing, firstly to see the place where I was born and raised, and secondly to repay Teacher Guo and Dean Chang."

At this time, Ms. Guo at the side said with a smile: "You don't have to repay me. We helped you in the beginning, not for anything. You can come to see the teacher whenever you are free. The teacher will be very happy."

Lou Xiao'e's eyes turned red, she turned her head and wiped the corners of her eyes, and after a while she turned back to Ms. Guo and shook her head and said, "Teacher, you can do nothing in return, but I must repay the kindness. Teacher, this is my gift, please accept it!"

Lou Xiao'e opened her shoulder bag, took out a file bag from it, and then placed the file bag in front of Ms. Guo.

"Here is a share transfer agreement. Please accept it."

"I can't accept this, you better take it back!"

Ms. Guo pushed the file bag back without even looking at it, and then she and Lou Xiao'e started a game of pushing and shoving.

The two of them pushed and shoved each other for seven or eight times. Chang Zhengyang couldn't stand it anymore and reached out to press the file bag.

Lou Xiao'e was stunned when she saw this and looked at Chang Zhengyang with some confusion.

"Lou Xiao'e, you should take this back. No matter how much your equity agreement is worth, we will not accept it. You should also know the situation of our family. We don't need extra wealth."

Seeing that Lou Xiao'e was still insisting, Ms. Guo pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Lou Xiao'e, if you still want to enter my house and recognize me as your teacher in the future, you should take this thing back."

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Lou Xiao'e had to reluctantly put the file bag back. However, although she put the file bag back, she actually did not give up this plan in her heart.

She looked at Chang Zhengyang and Ms. Guo and decided to come back next time, so she stood up and said to Ms. Guo, "Teacher Guo, I have something to do and I'll leave first. I'll come back to see you in two days. Dean Chang, thank you for saving you."

Ms. Guo sent Lou Xiao'e out the door and turned around to see Chang Zhengyang placing the gift Lou Xiao'e had given him on the examination table.

While checking whether the gifts had been tampered with, Chang Zhengyang asked Ms. Guo, "What is Lou Xiao'e doing now?"

"She is now running a trading group company in Hong Kong. She has a miserable life. She went to Hong Kong and took refuge with her eldest brother. He arranged for her to marry a playboy. The playboy died early due to excessive drinking and sex. She became a widow and managed the business left by the playboy alone with her children."
