Back To The Age Of The '80s

The cart stopped at the entrance of the guest house.The staff in the guest house had already been waiting outside.

The leader is the secretary and mayor of Qinghe Town. As for the leaders of Yantian County, they are still on the road because of communication and traffic inconvenience.

As soon as Li Zheng got out of the car, he saw an acquaintance, Master Liu, the head chef of the guest house.Li Zheng still remembers the green grouper he cooked with scallion oil, the taste was amazing.

Li Zheng smiled and nodded to Master Liu in astonishment, and then entered the guest house talking and laughing with Qiu Zhengye and others.

"The conditions are simple, please forgive me." Qiu Zhengye said with a smile.

"You're too modest, it's fine here."

David's words were not polite.Although Qinghe Town is not considered rich, the guest house is well built.

There used to be a naval base near Qinghe Town. When Huaguo and Su had a good relationship, experts from Su often came here to guide technology, and they lived in the guest house in the town.

If you want to suffer, you must suffer yourself, and you must not suffer the foreign guests.At that time, the conditions of the people were difficult, but the guest house built did not look shabby 30 years later. This is also a characteristic of the times.

After a long day of driving and horses, everyone was really a little tired.Therefore, without further talking in the hall, they each took the keys and went back to their rooms to rest.

Ordinary staff share a room with each other, while Liang Zhe, David and Li Zheng share a room with each other.

Li Zheng was surprised that he was still treated like this, and thanked Qiu Zhengye with a smile.

Qiu Zhengye waved his hands again and again. He could see very clearly that although Li Zheng came as a member of Roche's entourage, whether it was Mr. David Andorio, executive vice president of Roche Asia, or the helm of Liang They all believed in Li Zheng.

Especially this Mr. Liang, Qiu Zhengye observed the interaction between these two, and found that Li Zheng was still faintly dominant among the two.

Therefore, when contacting the Qinghe Town Guest House, he specifically asked the secretary to ask for a single room for Li Zheng.

After Li Zheng and others went upstairs, the staff who stayed in the hall began to discuss.

"Hey, old Liu. Why do I look so much like a kid from the Li family, the young man who smiled at you just now?"

"How is this possible! The people who came back here are all big shots! Didn't you see Governor Qiu personally accompanying you!"

"Are the foreigners this time the same batch as last time?"

"I don't know, don't all foreigners look the same."

"By the way, Accountant Xu, isn't your husband from the county? Do you have any news?" The aunt at the front desk of the guest house suddenly turned to ask Xu Fen who had been silent all this time.

Xu Fen is the accountant in the guest house, Wang Aiguo's lover, and Wang Chengcai's mother.

Everyone said that Zhou Deqing killed Xiao He and Yang Kaijian, but Xu Fen knew that it was Yang Kaijian who killed Xiao He.On the night of Yang Kaijian's burial, Yang Sheng took Wang Aijuan to Wang's house.

Yang Sheng, who has always respected Wang Aiguo very much, lost his temper with Wang Aiguo for the first time.

Yang Sheng pointed at Wang Aiguo's nose and called Wang's son a villain.Yang Kaijian and Xiaohe, one is a student and the other is a younger brother in the hostel, the only intersection between the two is Wang Chengcai.

Because of Xu Fen's relationship, Xiao He has always been Wang Chengcai's attendant. Every time Wang Chengcai goes to the guest house, Xiao He will "Brother Wang, Brother Wang". This is not a secret in the guest house.

Xu Fen snapped back to her senses, facing her colleague who was looking at her strangely, she smiled a bit stiffly, "I haven't heard him mention it."

Xu Fen naturally knew the purpose of the foreigner's trip.Not only that, Wang Aiguo also tried his best to get a factory quota.The fewer people who know about this matter, the better, Xu Fen doesn't want to have more competitors.

"What are you doing! Pay attention to the impact. Do what you should do!" Director Liu came out of the office and shouted loudly.

Everyone in the hall dispersed, leaving Master Liu who was still in a daze, muttering to himself in a low voice: "The one just now seems to be the boy from the Li family."

In the evening, at Li Chaoyang's home.

"Dad, I don't want to go." Li Chaoyang stood in the living room, his hands clenched into fists.

Father Li ruthlessly put down the fruit basket in his hand, "Don't go? Do you know how many people are vying for a place in this foreign-funded factory? I have no right to fight!"

"Chaoyang, just listen to your father. If you don't make a decision today, it will be even more difficult to fight for this spot when the firecrackers are set off for the completion ceremony of the factory tomorrow!" Mother Li said earnestly.

Li Chaoyang's nails were deeply embedded in the flesh of his palm.

He doesn't know how precious the quota of foreign-funded factories is.Unlike later generations, factory work in the 80s was an iron rice bowl that almost everyone wanted, especially in companies with good profits, even civil servants had their heads sharpened to squeeze into it.In that era, it was commonplace for civil servants to go to enterprises improperly.

What's more, the treatment of this foreign-funded enterprise is much better than that of ordinary enterprises.Well-informed people in Yantian County, even the Shennan area, and Haidong Province are already ready to move.

Li's father is considered to be close to the water, and his old leader has been assigned as the security captain for the safety of the complex foreign-funded factory. In addition to bringing a few old subordinates over, there are still a few vacancies.

When Li's father was drinking with him, he heard that foreigners bought several cars and put them in the factory, but they couldn't find a driver, so they asked him to find a driver.

Father Li fell in love immediately.Drivers were an extremely popular industry in the 80s. With this skill, they are not afraid to travel all over the world.Moreover, in this day and age, few cars can be found in a town. As a driver, driving a small car in and out of the town every day is such a cool thing.

According to Li's father, if you become a driver, you can marry a better wife.

"But...but I want to take the college entrance examination!" Li Chaoyang raised his head abruptly. Many of the well-connected people in his class have already dropped out of school to go to work one after another.

Originally, it was just as bitter, haha, who had to hesitate for a long time even to buy a popsicle.The other party suddenly became extravagant, earning money and spending it on his own, and even helping the family to subsidize the family.

Li Chaoyang must be lying when he said he is not envious.

But what Li Zheng said that afternoon was like a rope binding his restless heart tightly.

"This world is very big. The surface of the earth is 5.1 million square kilometers, and the land is about 1.49 million square kilometers. When we lie down with our arms stretched out, we can only occupy 2 square meters at most. We live in this corner of Qinghe Town, just It’s like a frog at the bottom of a well, looking up at the sky that’s only as big as the mouth of the well. Reading books and passing the exam are the fastest way to jump out of the well or expand our well.”

Li Zheng tapped his fingers on the table and said.At that time, the book on his desk happened to be on the page of the world map.

He wants to read!He wants to pass the exam!He wanted to see the big world Li Zheng talked about!

"College entrance exam? Li Chaoyang, you are only in the first year of high school now! There are still two years before the third year of high school, and in two years, other people's children can go to the farm! Also, can you guarantee that you will be admitted to university? How many people in Qinghe Town pass the exam every year? Go to college!" Father Li wished he could throw the fruit basket on his son's head.

"But Li Zheng..."

"Li Zheng, Li Zheng, it's Li Zheng every day. The Li family boy has given you some kind of mischievous soup. He doesn't know where he is now. Everyone in the town says that he has smuggled across the Xiangjiang River. He is smarter than you. Too much. Xiang Jiang’s salary is so high! He earns one year, you have to earn ten or eight years!”

Li Chaoyang tightly pressed his lips together without saying a word.

"You have to go if you don't go today! Otherwise, you won't recognize me as a father!" Father Li said harshly.

Li Chaoyang raised his head in astonishment, Li's mother stomped her feet, gently pulled Li Chaoyang aside, and said softly to him: "Chaoyang, just listen to your father. You know your father's character, and he always loves face. But for your sake, he said a lot of good things to people, and drank with them for more than a month, you know, since he came back from the hospital last time. Your dad hasn't touched alcohol for two years."

"Dad..." Li Chaoyang was finally moved. He blinked his astringent eyes, and took the initiative to pick up the fruit basket on the coffee table, "Dad, let's go."

Father Li sighed, and finally showed a smile. He rubbed his son's head vigorously, "In the future, you will thank me."

The dim street lights were slowly turned on, and a tricycle carrying the boy and the fruit basket passed through the center of Qinghe Town and slowly drove towards the Shen Pharmaceutical Factory not far away.

Li Zheng didn't know that his first true friend in this life was facing the biggest choice in his life.Not long after he finished washing, there was a knock on the door.

Opening the door, Liang Zhe in casual clothes stood at the door.

"This is your hometown, why don't you go out for a walk?" Liang Zhe said.

Li Zheng rubbed his nose, "This is not Xiangjiang, most people are already asleep at this point. But... if you want to see, I can take you to my house to have a look."

Li Zheng's feelings for Qinghe Town are very complicated. This is where his life began, but in Li Zheng's heart, if Xiangjiang belongs to him, then Qinghe Town belongs to the original Li Zheng.

He... was subconsciously avoiding the traces of Li Zheng.

"Okay." The corners of Liang Zhe's lips raised a slight arc.

Li Zheng chuckled, as a biologist, how can he be dominated by human stressful emotions, subconsciously escaping is not advisable.

The two of them walked towards Li's house slowly while taking advantage of the night without informing anyone.

Because Roche built a factory here, the main roads in Qinghe Town were poured with cement, and the small roads that were originally made of mud were also paved with fine stones.

There were still not many street lights, but combined with the lights emitted by the townspeople's homes on both sides of the road, it was enough for Li Zheng and the two to find the way to Li's house accurately.

"You should bring a flashlight." Li Zheng shrugged and said.

Hearing this, Liang Zhe moved his right hand slightly, and then grabbed Li Zheng's hand amidst Li Zheng's surprised expression.

"I'll lead you." Liang Zhe said seriously.

The dry and warm temperature from the palm seems to have made the temperature of the early spring night rise a lot.

Li Zheng raised his head and glanced at Liang Zhe, with a sharp side face, his gaze was straight ahead, his lips were straightened, as if he noticed Li Zheng's gaze, Liang Zhe's expression was a little stiff, holding Li Zheng's hand The hand also added a little force unconsciously.

Li Zheng blinked, he found that he didn't seem to hate this feeling.

Qinghe Town is not big, about 10 minutes later, the Li family's house appeared in front of the two of them.

"It seems that my family is lucky." Not far from Li Zheng's home, a new streetlight seemed to be erected.

"Help me." Li Zheng said while supporting Liang Zhe's shoulder with one hand, and jumped onto the high platform poured with cement. Under Liang Zhe's puzzled eyes, he supported the wall and put one hand After finding the radio under the eaves, a key soon appeared in his hand.

After getting the key, Li Zheng jumped down from the high platform. Because it was dark, he stepped on a stone and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Liang Zhe helped him.

"In the future, don't hide in such a dangerous place." Liang Zhe said with his lips pursed.

Li Zheng waved his hand, "Don't worry. My luck has always been good."

Opening the door and turning on the light, no one has lived in it for a long time, and a thick layer of dust has fallen on the house. He glanced at the familiar and unfamiliar room, and spread his hands, "I said, there is nothing to see."

Liang Zhe obviously didn't think so. His gaze swept across the slightly yellowed wall, the calendar with a rich background of the times on the wall, and the clock that had stopped rotating.

The square wooden table was surrounded by four benches. Liang Zhe sat on the benches with his back straight.

"Dirty." Li Zheng pulled him up from the stool, looked at Liang Zhe's slightly aggrieved expression, and helped his forehead helplessly. This is not like the helm of a wealthy Xiangjiang family.

At Liang Zhe's request, Li Zheng took him to visit all the rooms of the Li family.There are several rooms that even Li Zheng himself has not looked at carefully, but this time he has looked at all of them.

The Li family is not big, but they had four rooms, one for Li's father, one for Zhou Sitian, one for Li Zheng, and one for Li Zheng...Because Zhou Sitian kept a secret, he didn't observe it carefully.

Compared with the other three, the decoration of this room is much more artistic. There are rows of books on the bookshelves, and there is a set of women's business clothes on the bed.The breath of life is very strong.

Li Zheng glanced across the room, and a thought flashed in his eyes. It seemed that Zhao Qiuhua and Li Qiang had slept in separate rooms for a long time.

"Bang bang bang" suddenly came the sound of heavy objects knocking downstairs.

"Who is upstairs! You'd better come down immediately, I have already notified the police station!" A loud male voice came from downstairs.

Li Zheng heard something familiar, and after searching his memory, he had a dazed look on his face.

"Brother Xiaodong, it's me." He walked out of the room and answered at the stairs.

The sound of "click" heavy objects falling to the ground.

Zheng Xiaodong trotted to the stairs and looked up.

"Li Zheng?! It's you! You're back!"

The author has something to say: Yu Changchang: Oh, no, I have to go to work tomorrow! !Sapo is cute and doesn't want to go to work

Li Zheng: What are you being hypocritical about? Didn't you go to work overtime today...

Yu Changchang: How about that!I slept until ten o'clock today to go to work!

Li Zheng: Oh...the indifferent face
