On April 1, 1980, the foreign exchange coupons of the Republic were officially issued, and although the full name of the foreign exchange coupons of the Bank of the Republic is not legal tender, it is equivalent to the elements of the use of RMB, but it has a higher legal effect than legal tender.

Even putting aside the factor of exempting all bills from the purchase of things, the renminbi can not be exchanged for foreign exchange in the bank.

Zhao Liangliang has a deeper understanding of foreign exchange coupons, although he can usually access the US dollars when he works in the embassy, but they are all passed over, either to spend or to report, all the salary and everything are issued to RMB.

Coupled with the extremely complex external environment, Zhao Liangliang rarely communicates with foreigners when he is abroad, and it is impossible to have dollars in this case.

It wasn't until later through Zheng Jianguo's gray operation that he had a little balance in his hand, but the reason why gray is gray is that it can't be put on the table, and it can be used in private, but being caught by someone is the handle, because foreign exchange transactions in private are illegal.

Foreign exchange coupons are different, this is a kind of currency that can be exchanged for foreign exchange in the bank, although it must be exchanged according to the official exchange rate, but in general, it can be regarded as being able to launder the money, as for the exchange of foreign exchange into RMB, that is another routine.

So at this time, hearing Zheng Jianguo's arrangement, Zhao Liangliang's mood was naturally cheerful: "This is no problem, I promise to give you away at the market price——"

"You must stand the test, you must pay attention to this point, but don't do things that make relatives and enemies happy because of immediate interests. ”

Zheng Jianguo's voice was a little relaxed, but Zhao Liangliang knew that this product rarely cared about people so much, and he rarely touched on this aspect in his previous words, so he felt that the relationship between the two sides was much closer: "I came to help the film crew go through the formalities this time——"

"Oh, that's right, I'm going to deliver it on the plane, so I'll pick up my parents and stay here for a few days, you can help them run with their documents, and if there's anything in the way of the American Embassy, you can tell me-"

Suddenly hearing the procedures for going abroad, Zheng Jianguo knew that China was going to send a film crew to shoot his graduation ceremony, so he also remembered the passports of Zheng Fugui and Du Xiaomei before: "While they are all in the capital now, you can help run and see." ”

Talking about running away, Zheng Jianguo is not saying kind words, at this time, with his current identity sensitivity, these two close relatives in the family are his stumbling blocks, especially when he has to stay in the United States to study in the name of further study after graduation, if Zheng Fugui and Du Xiaomei do not return after going abroad, then Zhao Liangliang's future will be over-

"That's fine, it's on me!"

There was a crisp voice from the microphone, Zheng Jianguo didn't expect this product to agree so happily, looking at the sparkling Charles River in the distance outside the slightly bright window, he didn't see it: "The purpose of my call home is to say that I changed the phone number, and I won't call the embassy to say it, remember to say it when you go back, and the pager number, I won't be there after my internship." ”

Hearing that Zhao Liangliang took those people to see Du Xiaomei, Zheng Jianguo can also figure out the situation in the house at this time, the third sister Zheng Qiuhua, the fourth sister Zheng Donghua, the father Zheng Fugui and the old lady Du Xiaomei, as well as Yang Na and the group of people brought over by Zhao Liangliang, maybe there is Hao Yun in-

After the phone call at home was made, Zheng Jianguo still needed to say that Kou Qingkai and Ye Minde, after the former called and found that no one answered, he thought about the family at noon and was afraid that he didn't go home for dinner, so he began to dial the latter's phone, but after ringing twice, he was picked up, and a somewhat familiar woman's voice came: "Hello, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Professor Ye Minde, is he at home?"

Zheng Jianguo's first thought was Ye Jianyi's wife Ye Zhenkai's mother, the cheap aunt he had never met, but soon accompanied by her voice, Ye Zhenkai's voice followed: "Lilac, who is calling?"

"Looking for grandpa—"

Cai Dingxiang's voice came, Zheng Jianguo also remembered who this young lady was, so he thought of a possibility from her name for Ye Minde, and after Cai Zhengyuan's white cheeks appeared in front of him, a voice came from the microphone: "Hello, my grandfather is not at home-"

"It's okay if Zhenkai is at home, let him answer the phone, I'm Zheng Jianguo. ”

Hearing that Cai Dingxiang was about to hang up the phone, Zheng Jianguo had to report his name, and the former's muttering voice came faintly: "I found you, I said it was Zheng Jianguo." ”

"Zheng, oh, call me. ”

Not long after Ye Zhenkai's voice came, he heard his voice clear: "Jianguo, hello, my grandfather is not at home, he took his graduate students to Inner Mongolia-"

"Well, it should be to investigate the geothermal springs, I don't have anything else to do when I call, it's just that my phone number has changed, remember to find a chance to tell Professor Ye after you write it down, and Zhenkai, you are discharged from the army?"

Ye Zhenkai joined the army at the beginning of 1978, and now it is about two years, although the battle in the south has not completely ended, but in terms of the Qinan Military Region, it is as good as before.

It's just that, according to Zheng Jianguo's knowledge, the compulsory military service of the army at this time is 3 years, and the last time he said it in the phone call to Ye Minde, he thought that this goods would come back to visit relatives in the second year, but by this time the New Year was over, so it was obviously impossible to visit relatives, so he asked this question.

"Yes, I'm out of the military. ”

Ye Zhenkai's voice was a little low, Zheng Jianguo didn't seem to be in a high mood when he heard his words, and quickly said, "Aren't you a 3-year military service?"

"2 years of soldiers, when my recruit company finished the company, the state re-revised the service time, but our batch is 2 years, and the soldiers behind are only 3 years, so I was discharged at the end of last year. ”

Ye Zhenkai's statement can be regarded as solving the curiosity in Zheng Jianguo's heart, but remembering the memory of the two of them selling movie tickets together, this brother has never been so taciturn, and he can't help but smile: "Your current retirement placement job, right?"

"Jianguo, can you help me talk to my grandfather? Just let me go back to the army, I don't want to leave the army when the country is still fighting, as soon as others talk about my discharge, I think of the war in the south, I feel that the eyes of others looking at me have changed——"

Ye Zhenkai seemed to have plucked up his courage, and said in a series of loud voices, Zheng Jianguo couldn't help laughing in the microphone, but this laugh had no sound: "You and I both know Professor Ye's character, and it's useless for me to say it, in addition, I personally feel that although you have completed the transformation of the role in your heart through the normal discharge procedure, your role in your heart has not yet completed the transformation."

I can understand the idea that you want to stay in the army, it is nothing more than to go to the battlefield to defend the country when needed, so that is the duty of a soldier, and even the mission of being a soldier, but have you ever thought that you are now discharged from the army and are no longer a soldier.

But even if you are a soldier, you have to obey orders as your duty, the big war in the south has ended, and now all I know is skirmishes, have you ever thought that if you return to the army now, you will squeeze out the opportunity for others to go to the battlefield?

As mentioned earlier, you are now a veteran, and you have more glorious experiences than ordinary people, have you ever thought about how to reflect this in your life and business ability, such as the soldier's duty to obey orders?

You don't have superiors like squad leader, platoon leader, company commander now, but you have leaders in your work business, right? Even if you haven't been placed in a job yet, then Uncle Ye and Professor Ye are so old, and you should understand the principle of orderliness, after all, you are more than two years older than me. ”

"Then, according to them, you are still my elder—"

An inaudible muttering sound came, and Zheng Jianguo felt that this was the second thing with a little less brain in his memory, so he pretended not to hear it and smiled: "I heard that the voice that answered the phone before was Cai Dingxiang, and Vice President Cai Zhengyuan agreed with you?"

"Grandpa Cai agreed, let's go to register our marriage on Labor Day, Jianguo, what are you going to give me?"

Seeing that the last hope was vetoed by Zheng Jianguo, Ye Zhenkai also resumed the attitude when the two got along before, he lost all the news outside after entering the army, and he knew that he had studied abroad or heard it when he went home to visit relatives in the first year, but his attention was soon absorbed by the war in the south, and he returned to the army after staying at home for a long time.

When I learned the news of Zheng Jianguo again, it was already the Spring Festival after Ye Zhenkai recovered and returned home, that is, not long after the last time Zheng Jianguo called, I vaguely remembered that my grandfather said that his research had broken through the medical field: "How are you studying now?

"Hehe, you know I'm a good learner, and you still ask that?"

It is rare that Zheng Jianguo seems to have returned to the mentality of when he tossed movie tickets two years ago, at that time, he made more than 10,000 yuan with this goods, Shen Yunfei and Tao Ye, but unfortunately most of them were taken away by Ye Minde as research funds, which can be regarded as turning the four people who are not doing their jobs back on the right track: "I graduated, and now I am a resident at Massachusetts General Hospital, and I am still the youngest associate professor at MIT, but I am still close to Professor Ye's request, what do you want to get married?"

"You've graduated, haven't you been there for two years?"

Ye Zhenkai didn't care about the titles of resident doctor and associate professor in the other party's mouth, because he knew from his grandfather that if he returned to China now, he was afraid that he could directly become a candidate for the member of the department, which was much more powerful than any resident doctor and the youngest associate professor, of course, this idea was distorted by the last sentence: "That, if I ask for something very expensive, will you be very painful?"

"You want to make my flesh hurt, unless you two want to go to the moon, since you get married next month, then I'll give you a honeymoon trip, it just so happens that my parents are going to go to the United States next month, if you two are fine, you can also come out and have a look, but now you two have to go through passport procedures-"

Sending things, especially the wedding gifts to Ye Zhenkai and Cai Dingxiang, Zheng Jianguo didn't have any heartache and pain, and the house and car were not enough in his opinion to thank Professor Ye for teaching him according to his aptitude, especially when there was a comparison of Professor Kong's negative teaching materials.

However, the house and car can't change the future of these two people, and in terms of the domestic situation at this time, if they really give a house or a car, it will also cause unnecessary right and wrong for them or Ye Jianyi.

It's better to let the two of them come out to see the world, and when the time comes, they will be regarded as the group of people who have broadened their horizons after returning to China, presumably they will choose their own path in the wave of great opportunities in the future, and then take care of them by the side, which can be regarded as repaying Professor Ye's kindness: "Of course, it would be better if you could let Cai Dingxiang persuade Professor Ye to come out and take a turn." ”

"I'm afraid my grandfather won't agree, he asked Grandpa Cai to come forward when dealing with the people of Jianguo Company, saying that he is the project host of the laboratory, and if he gets close to Jianguo Company, I'm afraid it will make people crooked, or let my mother go?"

Hearing Zheng Jianguo's suggestion, Ye Zhenkai was immediately moved, he followed Ye Jianyi out of the cadre school since he was a child, and vaguely remembered that it was because his grandfather Ye Minde had contacts with foreign countries, and he also asked his father Ye Jianyi why his grandfather had contact with foreign countries, but he never asked after being beaten by his father.

Later, with the rehabilitation of his grandfather, he also returned to the city, and slowly his father came back and his grandfather resumed his work, but Ye Zhenkai was remembered by the memorable beating that year, and he didn't open his mouth to ask after knowing that Ye Minde began to send letters abroad, until Zheng Jianguo went out to study later, he heard some foreign information from the communication between Ye Minde and Ye Jianyi, but it was only there.

It wasn't until Zheng Jianguo first sent periodicals to China, and later sent back foreign teaching videos, and even learned the general situation of foreign countries from the videotapes - everyone has a TV and every household has a car, which can be regarded as completely subverting his impression of foreign countries, doesn't it mean that he is in dire straits?

In the midst of dire conditions, every family still has a car and a TV?

With this curiosity, Ye Zhenkai also has a general understanding of life abroad, first of all, the deep memory is that foreign money is easy to make and easy to make, and secondly, not only foreign blondes and blue-eyed girls are good-looking, but also overseas Chinese living abroad are also smarter than domestic women, he has such a cognition since he met Fan Dailin and Yang Na.

Now Zheng Jianguo is going to invite himself and Cai Dingxiang to go out to have a look, Ye Zhenkai doesn't know the honeymoon, but the word trip can still be understood, so he feels that the opportunity to go out and have a look this time is not small, because the inviter is Zheng Jianguo: "Or she's afraid that you will sell me-"
