"Hello Director Gu. ”

"Director Gu has worked hard. ”

"Okay, everyone, you're welcome. ”

As soon as the little farce ended, Dad rushed to the cafeteria, glanced around, found the location of Gu Biao and Gu Min, and went straight over and sat down.

Gu Biao saw it in his eyes and found that the expressions of the workers when they greeted his father were relatively relaxed, not the kind of flattery.

"Dad, I didn't see that you have only been the deputy director for two months, and you are so popular, it really changes every semester when you come back. Gu Biao laughed and touted.

"You kid is smoking again!" Daddy smirked.

My sister hurriedly mediated.

Gu Biao felt quite touched in his heart, and suddenly felt that it was not bad to let his father do this to be a leader of a state-owned enterprise who lost money.

In his previous life, he loved to read the history of the Emperor and Han Dynasty, that is, those books that went to the Song and Ming dynasties to kill the Tartars. There are many references to the forbidden army of the Northern Song Dynasty, because it is a hereditary breeding of relatives, its combat effectiveness is not good, but it is very incorruptible-

Because after a hundred years of peace, the main business of those generals in the Song Dynasty was in business, and the identity of an officer was really unpushable, and he was destined to be born. And the advantage of these people is that they do not have the fact that all dynasties have eaten empty salaries and drank the blood of soldiers, and even subsidized their soldiers with their family business.

To be an official is to pay upside down, although the combat effectiveness is not good, but honesty is absolutely incorruptible.

At least before the comprehensive market economy in 92, because all kinds of tickets, queuing lotteries, and access qualifications have not been banned, the Gu family also needs someone to make money, and someone to earn tickets and qualifications.

In the future, Gu Biao will rely on his own legal business and clean money that can no longer be clean, so that his father can be a clean official and earn level treatment.

According to the policy of ordinary people retiring at the age of 60 and hiring senior talents and cadres to the age of 65, Gu Biao does not expect his father to be 65, and he will retire at the age of 63 in 92, enjoy the blessings, and he will be able to be idle for a few years before retiring.

At the dinner table, Gu Biao took the opportunity to tell the news that the Xiao family might come to visit the New Year after the New Year, so that his father could be prepared.

"Dad, I have a 'good friend' from other places, and he may come to Qiantang to play on the third day of the Lunar New Year, and by the way, he will pay New Year's greetings to my family. You should have heard of it, that is, the Xiao family came to my Xiao family during the winter vacation last year. ”

Daddy is relatively sluggish in this regard, and secondly, because Gu Biao is only 17 years old, Daddy is still relatively conservative in controlling early love, and the family never talks to him about this issue.

So I didn't understand it for a while.

"Oh, you're talking about the sister and brother named Xiao Sui and Yan Ping, right? You and Yan Ping are also friends of the same year, and they should have been in contact with each other when they reviewed and were admitted to prestigious schools together.

Why, do you need to be entertained by the family? You kid is richer than me now, not like your style. ”

Gu Biao could only continue to explain: "Yan Ping didn't come, it was Xiao Sui, as well as her mother, Su Ping, and Hujiang Factory who acted in the movie." ”

"Hey, the one who has a relationship with you doesn't come, but his family comes, why do you still bring your elders......" Dad was stunned for a few seconds, and finally suddenly realized, "You kid won't be ......"

"Hmm. Gu Biao admitted righteously, "I'm talking to someone." ”

"Ahem...... "Daddy choked on the soup, and he didn't know how to speak.

He has been widowed for seven or eight years, and it is true that he cares little and inconvenient about the life's affairs of his children.

It was Gu Min who played the role of an elder and asked his younger brother some private words: "Have you and Suizi really come this far?" I saw some signs last time, but I didn't expect it to ...... so soon."

Gu Biao interrupted her sister's gossip: "Let's talk about the details later, Dad, sister, anyway, I brought a lot of things with me to Xiangjiang this time, and I pretended to be in the ceremony." Let's clean up our homes and put on a new line on the third day of the new year. ”

Dad's train of thought returned to the channel: "People are from a family of readers." Although we must have a lot of money now, the future is the era of intellectuals, and we must not underestimate it, but we must prepare well...... By the way, what kind of level are his parents?"

Dad can't compare culture with literary and artistic workers, and can only look at the administrative level with the most simple thinking.

People 20 years from now may think it is ridiculous: how can a person who is engaged in a business talk about the level of a person who writes books and makes movies?

But in the era of the official standard, everything can have a level, everything can be leveled, and there is nothing wrong with the painting style.

Gu Biao hurriedly popularized science: "The cultural department in the province is at the department and bureau level, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles is at the deputy department level, and the provincial writers' association and other associations under the Federation of Literary and Art Circles are county-level units.

Suizi's father is the deputy seat of the Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the seat of the Provincial Writers Association, both of which are county-level treatments. Her mother is an actor in a studio, although she is famous and has a high salary, she is not at a high level. ”

Daddy breathed a sigh of relief: "The county-level treatment? That's good, that's good, we're right, it's worth it! We are a deputy department-level enterprise, Lao Qin is a deputy department-level, and we are also at the county department-level." ”

In the 80s, the relaxation, the pursuit of poetry and distance were not one-step. Basically, it is because the myth of self-employed wealth has gradually spread that it has impacted the inherent thinking and contributed to the "don't bully the poor of young people".

And now this myth of wealth has clearly not yet begun to take shape in the social atmosphere.

Even Mu Zhongdu just registered the first private joint-stock company in China a few days ago, and only the people who poured chemical fiber made a lot of money before.

Since Daddy cares about face, Gu Biao can only help Daddy protect his face.

"It would be great if the city had already allocated the small western-style building in Qingbomen to us, even if it was rented at a high price, it would be better to receive the in-laws there, but it's a pity. "Dad has already begun to make up the details of saving face in front of his in-laws.

Gu Biao interrupted with tears and laughter: "Dad, you think too much, the Xiao family is not a snob." ”

"They're not snobbish, and we can't be rude. Dad waved his hand arbitrarily, "Let's go to the foreign exchange store after work today, buy some electrical appliances, and prop up the façade of the house!"

……

Gu Biao chatted with his father for a lunch break, but his father drove him away, and ordered him and his sister to immediately buy some electrical appliances to support the façade and come back, in case the guests visited.

Gu Biao couldn't make sense no matter what he said, so he could only agree.

Despite the fatigue of the journey, he and his sister had no choice but to hire a human tricycle and go straight to the foreign exchange shop in the city.

The history of the development of China's "foreign exchange bills" was officially launched on April 1, 1980 and abolished in 95.

In other words, there is still a month and a half before the first batch of foreign exchange bills are issued.

However, the forex shop was opened a little earlier than the voucher.

After all, the state also has to ensure that after the foreign exchange coupon comes out, there is a place to use it immediately.

Since July last year, there has been the first specialized foreign exchange store in Guangdong, and in September, Hujiang has also been established. At the beginning of this year, Qiantang was also opened.

These shops now only accept US dollars, and will not accept foreign exchange vouchers until April 1.

In these places, you can buy all high-end imported consumer goods. Before that, even if Chinese people had foreign exchange, they could only buy good things abroad and bring them in person, which was very inconvenient for transportation, especially for large items such as household appliances.

Gu Biao has US dollars on hand, of course, he can buy them casually, and he also has a diplomatic passport, even if he is suspected of being cross-examined, he can easily explain the legal source.

The tricycle master drove the sister and brother all the way through the city, panting and stopping next to the exhibition hotel on the north side of the Red Sun Square.

Red Sun Square is the Wulinmen Square that later generations of Qiantang people are familiar with, because this place happens to be the original site of the north gate of ancient Qiantang, so it is named after the city gate.

However, this place has not changed its old name - "Red Sun".

In the later square, there is still a statue of a great man in the location of the fountain in the shape of a young girl.

The exhibition hotel was opened in December 78, and it was the first foreign affairs hotel in Qiantang to stay for foreign guests of various international expositions. Last month, a new area was set aside on the first floor of the hotel to open the first foreign exchange shop in Qiantang.

There are still two days to go before the Chinese New Year, and thousands of citizens are watching from near and far at the entrance of the hotel, and there are also police officers to maintain order, so that the citizens will not block the road in and out of the hotel gate.

Everyone didn't think that this kind of onlookers was a waste of time or anything abrupt.

Because Red Sun Square was originally a social place for young and trendy citizens to dance ballroom dances and veneer dances.

The gang also maintained this habit for decades until it became a square dancer.

When you are tired of watching, you will dance for a while, and when you are tired of dancing, you will watch again.

Some people wait for an hour to wait for a foreign guest to buy a 14 or 18-inch Sharp/Toshiba color TV, and they will burst into a suppressed exclamation, which is similar to looking at a diorama, and can become a topic of conversation in the neighborhood when they go home.

Such as "I saw an 18-inch color TV up close today, not locked in the counter, it was taken away, you haven't seen it!"

Gu Biao and his sister walked to the door of the store, and because her sister was wearing home clothes, they were stopped by the guards.

Gu Biao showed his passport, and the guards let him go.

"Wow! Can Chinese actually go in?!" The crowd of onlookers suddenly became excited.

"I guess it's a Hong Kong businessman. ”

"I think it's overseas Chinese!"

After all, this store has been open for less than a month, and the masses feel fresh.

At this moment, there was actually a young girl next to her who had been observing the situation, and suddenly came out, directly hugged Gu Ao's arm, and pleaded softly: "Comrade, can you say that I am your female companion and take me in to see the world." ”

Gu Biao was stunned for a while, but he didn't want to make a big fuss, so he lowered his voice and scolded: "What are you doing, let go!"

"Why don't I give you 1 dollar, and you can let me go in and go shopping." "That vain girl is not dead yet.

Gu Biao could only call the guards, and then forked the man away.

Looking at the back of the other party being taken away, Gu Biao couldn't understand for a while.

It turned out that in 1980, a status qualification to enter a foreign exchange store was enough for a woman to rub your arm directly with her breast, and also paste a dollar upside down to ask to be brought to the world.

No wonder Hong Kong businessmen in this era, if they really want to, hooking women in the mainland is like hanging up.

He suddenly felt that he was a good character and very restrained.

After all, to look at a person's character is to look at his character when he has the ability. If a person has an invisibility cloak and doesn't sneak around, then he is a true saint.

It can even be said that a person who only steals once or twice after having an invisibility cloak is more noble than a person who does not have an invisibility cloak and does not steal for the rest of his life.
