Li Tie and Zheng Jianguo are people of the same year, but as the person at the bottom of December, most people in 1961 were older than him, so Li Tieyue was half a year older than Zheng Jianguo, but this thing didn't know what to think, and when he reported his birthday after running over, he said that it was a year in Dali, so it was 20.

Roland is Kou Yang's cousin, and he is only 18 years old this year, and this is also the characteristic of the 77 and 78 grades after the resumption of the college entrance examination, because only the high school of these two years is a two-year system, and the high school in 79 has been comprehensively reformed into a three-year system, so it can be confirmed that it is two years younger than Li Tie.

The 20-year-old boy and the 18-year-old girl are all in the prime of their youth, but Zheng Jianguo is still surprised that these two can be mixed together, of course, this kind of thing can't be asked about Serena, and there is a Kou Yang in the middle: "Then I'll call them again and let them choose for themselves-"

"They're next door, do you want me to call them for you?"

Serena's voice was mixed with a faint lemon smell, and Zheng Jianguo also opened his mouth in order to save the time of dialing the phone in front of the young lady in front of him: "Okay then, you go and call them-"

At this time and time, Zheng Donghua and Kou Yang were actually in the Xijing Hotel, which Zheng Jianguo did not expect, and subconsciously held a telephone and looked to the side, and saw that Zhao Liangliang was skillfully turning the lighter on it, his eyes swept over his face, and he confirmed what his previous thoughts were: "Brother Zhao, hasn't the transaction of the house been completed yet?"

"How is that possible, the household is over—"

Snapping the lighter, Zhao Liangliang seemed to be taken aback, and his eyes fell on the face of the receptionist next to him, and he looked at Zheng Jianguo and said, "What did Serena say?"

"She said that my sister lives in a hotel, and I think I have a house, but I haven't finished cleaning it up yet?"

Zheng Jianguo's first set of courtyard houses is located at the east end of Tianjie, which is said to be a large courtyard along the street in the West Paste Hutong, covering an area of more than 600 square meters, but according to Zheng Donghua's statement in memory, it is very shabby, and the threshold board does not know who stole it, and there are children crawling in and out below when I go, as for the inside, it is even more prickly, feces, urine and feces can be seen everywhere, and Wong Tai Sin's nest: "This must have been a while, right?"

"Well, it's been more than half a month, and I should still be cleaning up. ”

Zhao Liangliang said a little vaguely, Zheng Jianguo also understood that this was a private transaction between the two, and now it was not the time for deep talks in the embassy, many thoughts flashed in his mind, and a voice came from the microphone in his hand: "Hani ~ They are here ~"

“——”

Serena's delicate cheeks flashed in his mind, and Zheng Jianguo also knew that this young lady was idle and ruthless, so he didn't go to his heart and waited until Zheng Donghua's voice came from the other side: "Jianguo-"

"Fourth sister, I heard that you didn't do well in this exam?"

There was no meaning of blame in Zheng Jianguo's tone, as if it was just a casual conversation between ordinary brothers and sisters, but when this sentence reached Zheng Donghua's ears through the phone line, she suddenly had a feeling as if her father and mother were having a headache for her to study, and after being silent for a while, she said: "Well, in terms of speaking, I didn't pass the oral exam - Kou Yang too." ”

"Oh, so do you plan to continue to study in the United States for a period of time in China, or do you want to go to the university on Hong Kong Island after the Chinese New Year?"

Zheng Donghua's silence came, Zheng Jianguo also remembered that there was something wrong with the situation of the sister and brother now, when the previous discussion turned into a choice, you can go to Hong Kong Island when you come out now, otherwise you can continue to study for a while before you can go to the United States, so when anyone faces this problem, they will also be like Zheng Donghua chose: "I plan to go to Hong Kong Island-"

Hong Kong Island, Zheng Donghua knows a lot from Li Tiekou, there are places full of lights and wine, this time by going to the TOEFL test, it can be regarded as seeing the prosperity of the metropolis, and according to Serena, Washington and Boston are like this, so instead of waiting for a long time to go to the United States, or sit for more than 30 hours to arrive, it is better to go to Hong Kong Island at this time, and the diploma of Hong Kong Island University is also used worldwide.

"That's good, it's close to China, and you can go home often-"

Of course, Zheng Jianguo didn't know that this sister would regard flying for more than 30 hours as a difficulty, and she didn't know that she would think that the universities on Hong Kong Island were also universal, so after making a decision, Kou Yang's little face flashed in front of him and said: "I have a classmate, a high school classmate, his name is Hao Yun, and now that he has returned home, I will let him come over to help take over the house, I have given him the address of the Hutong Courtyard, will you go home for the New Year this year?"

"You want to go back, you're not at home, there's only one third sister at home, I won't go back, our father and mother and the third sister are guarding such a big house-"

After Zheng Fugui went to work at the county people's hospital, Du Xiaomei bought a yard in the county town with the 3,000 yuan given by Zheng Jianguo, considering that the ancestral tomb of the family was still in the brigade, the three thatched houses in Sanlipu were entrusted to Li Tie's parents to take care of, which is why Zheng Donghua said so: "This is still the first year after buying a new house." ”

"It's been hard for you and the third sister in the past two years, our mother's temper-"

The cheeks of Zheng Fugui and Du Xiaomei flashed in his mind, and Zheng Jianguo's mood was a little heavy, but fortunately, when Zheng Donghua heard him say this, he was immediately unhappy: "You are talking nonsense, that is your father, and it is also the father and mother of me and the third sister, there are no good parents who don't want their children to live, whether they beat or scold, it is all love for you - that Hao Yun, have you explained?"

"Well, what you're saying is that Hao Yun has already explained, and he may bring someone. ”

Zheng Jianguo, who was choked, said that Hao Yun's last letter came in August, and at that time he said that the educated youths could go back, and he replied to him at that time, and he didn't know if he received it at this time, of course, what he said was only possible, maybe the goods have not returned to Shanxian: "Have you discussed with Brother Bin about going to study abroad?"

"After discussing it, he's now in night school learning English. ”

Zheng Donghua's voice came, Zheng Jianguo was relieved, he thought that this sister had used up people before, and then kicked it before calling to cross the river and tear down the bridge, but he didn't expect Kou Bin's brother to be able to pick up the textbook again: "Okay, work more when you go back, there will not be many opportunities for this kind of in the future, is the house still being cleaned up?"

"It's stopped, the person looking for said that it was not good for construction in winter, and now it's all over the world to touch the old bricks, this is also listening to you, you said that a good building is not built, how do you want to restore the courtyard, the most in this city is the courtyard——"

Zheng Donghua talked about the things in the house, but she had some of her own thoughts in it, of course, Zheng Jianguo would not say that if you don't understand, don't pretend to understand: "After coming here, I saw a lot of centuries-old houses here, and I thought that the capital of our republic should not have something of its own, do you want to stand in front of the main square and look at An Tianmen, what you see are high-rise buildings like Hong Kong Island?"

"Forget it, it's going to cost your money anyway-"

Zheng Donghua thought about it for a while, and felt that if she really put a few buildings between the beams and cornices, it would be a violation of harmony, Zheng Jianguo quickly answered: "Remember not to tell our father and mother first, let Kou Yang answer the phone." ”

"Well, Kou Yang, Jianguo is looking for you-"

The muffled voice answered the microphone with a click, and Kou Yang's voice sounded: "Zheng Jianguo-"

"Kou Yang, I went out to see it this time, how do you feel?"

As if worried about something, Zheng Jianguo didn't let Kou Yang continue, and the latter's voice was silent for a while, and then he said, "It's too chaotic over there—"

"There is chaos everywhere, the reason why you feel that Hong Kong Island is chaotic is because there are many media on Hong Kong Island, which leads to developed information, and you can't find news on domestic TV for the past three days, so you will feel that there are so many chaotic things.

The situation in China is also changing, and the educated youths who have returned to the city and the graduates of the previous year, some of whom are hard-working and hard-working, will give up their faces to do some small business, which can be regarded as doing it themselves, but more of them are thinking into the unit.

It's just that these two parts are still better, and the rest are the lazy ones, these people have traveled through the south and the north, caught the enemy and hunted wild beasts, and when the freshness of going home has passed, then they have to drill holes and make money.

Of course, there will only be a small number of people who do this, and those who are capable are not as capable as Hong Kong Island, and they are not as good as the United States, because the law and order situation here is much worse, and you can see shootings in the reports every day, and people are killed at gunpoint all the time, and in this respect, it is better for you to study on Hong Kong Island than in the United States. ”

Zheng Jianguo chattered a lot, among which Zhao Liangliang also specially found a cup and took a glass of water for him and put it in front of him, fortunately, he knew that there was not only Zheng Donghua on the other side, but also Selena, and what he said was focused on persuading the other party to go to Hong Kong Island to study, but when he said it in a roundabout way, Kou Yang's voice came: "Thank you, Zheng Jianguo, I believe in you, I will go wherever you let me go." ”

“——”

Zheng Jianguo was momentarily stunned, the phone on the other side must not be turned on at this time, and the domestic phone does not have this function at this time, so when this young lady said this, the lemon smell of Serena next to him must be able to smoke mosquitoes, but just when he was speechless, Kou Yang in the microphone said again: "Well, I wish you a happy Christmas Eve, it's cold, take care of yourself." ”

“？？？”

Hearing the hang-up sound from the microphone, Zheng Jianguo looked at the microphone and felt that things were a little bigger, but what made him even more sluggish was that Zhao Liangliang next to him was full of curiosity: "Jianguo, do you still have your own views on the return of domestic educated youths to the city?"

"Are you still fighting?"

Zhao Liangliang's voice fell, and the receptionist lady spoke, Zheng Jianguo glanced at the watch on his wrist, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening on the other side at this time, needless to say, looking for Zheng Fugui and Du Xiaomei was not a matter of thinking, at this time the two old people should have rested, if they want to fight, they have to wait until Christmas Eve, ten o'clock in the night and ten o'clock in the morning: "Thank you, don't fight." ”

"Come, brother, take you to the place where you rest. ”

Zhao Liangliang picked up the teacup he had sipped earlier and twisted it on the side, stuffed it into his pocket, and then walked towards the elevator first, until he went to the old place on the third floor, opened the door, pressed the light, and stood at the door and said, "You also feel that those people are going back to the city, it's a big trouble?"

"Most of them aren't, a few do. ”

Even if you don't talk about Comrade Hao Yun, an educated youth who doesn't know whether he has returned to Shan County, Zheng Jianguo originally came into contact with many educated youth groups represented by Wang Guohuai in Sanlipu, and it took more than ten years for tens of millions of educated youths to go to the mountains and countryside, and in the end, only a few million did not return to the city.

Or is it that the vast majority of these tens of millions of people have returned to the city through connections?

Only a fraction of the millions remained?

This is naturally nonsense in nonsense, everyone usually talks about sympathy for this part of the people, after all, it is the steamed bun doll in the city that suddenly became a gourd baby, and most of the people who have the time to express their opinions are people who are not worried about food and clothing.

In addition, the vast majority of these people are cultural intellectuals, and Xiucai rebels without that ability, but it is not too simple to guide public opinion or anything, not to mention that now the country still wishes that they would complain more.

Of course, this has little to do with Zheng Jianguo, he was still a member of the poor middle peasants who were red before this year, and he was second only to the poor peasants in the Sanlipu Brigade, so when he talked about this group of people in the face of Zhao Liangliang, he had some ideas: " Among the tens of millions of people who have not come back now, there is no other possibility except for the handful and the one who has taken root in the wilderness of the fields, even if this group of people returns to the city, it is also a great unstable factor, of course, it is not okay to let them come back now, there was such a big incident last year, and one of my classmates passed away——"

"Hmm-"

Subconsciously wanted to say that I knew, Zhao Liangliang didn't twist the root of his tongue before he changed his words: "I listened to the meaning of your words before, and I very much recognize the individual economy that I am talking about now?"

"Either the whole state is responsible, or they are left to fend for themselves, and there is no other way. ”

Zheng Jianguo has seen it very thoroughly, the old man traveled around the world almost last year to investigate, if you can't find that opening and opening is the focus of reform, it is also the experience of underestimating three up and three down: "This is similar to me doing experiments, or it is wrong, there is no reaction and result at all, you know that I am most afraid of doing experiments is this, because it means that you are wrong from the idea to the design, that is, from the beginning, then it is natural to not get the experimental results." ”

Zhao Nan, who almost blurted out that he shouldn't know, Zhao Liangliang's vigilance has been mentioned to the highest at this time, since the atomic-level graphite layer paper of this product was published at this time, with the good personal relationship between the two, he already knew that the relevant departments had already checked this person.

It's just that this investigation only started after Zhao Nan died of illness, and the people who went to investigate couldn't show signs of investigating him, so it took more than half a year to find that from the beginning of 1977, his personality changed from a wooden-minded person who was not good at words to a mature and stable person, and he had his own unique opinions and opinions on everything: "Do you think this small number of people are troublesome?"
