In May 1979, there were the following major news in Beijing.

One of them is that on May 16, Beijing TV began trial broadcast.

The second is that on May 18, the state approved the construction of the "Beijing Botanical Garden" near the "Reclining Buddha Temple" in Xishan.

Third, following the decision of the rural meeting of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee that the production team level can implement the production management method of "contracting workers to work groups, calculating remuneration for joint production, and rewarding overproduction," in order to further enhance the peasants' enthusiasm for labor, on 25 May, the Beijing Municipal Price Bureau and the Beijing Municipal Grain Bureau formulated specific adjustment opinions for the city in accordance with the state's regulations on the unified adjustment of the purchase price of grain and oilseeds.

Approved by the Municipal Revolutionary Committee. It was set that the city's grain prices were raised by 19.58% on average, the unified purchase price of edible oils and fats per 100 catties was increased by 27.18%, and the average price of oilseeds was increased by 23.48%. After the unified purchase price is raised, the selling price will not change. Policy losses in the grain sector are subsidized by the municipal treasury.

Finally, on May 28, more than 10,000 military and civilian people in Beijing gathered at the Capital Gymnasium to welcome the "Combat Heroic Model Report Group" in the self-defense and counterattack on the southern frontier.

From Hong Yanwu's personal point of view. I pay the most attention to the first two news, because they are the ones that are most closely related to people's livelihood.

Like a TV set with a rich program on the screen. This directly enriches the functionality of TV, which will inevitably lead to people's desire for TV.

For example, the establishment of the "Beijing Botanical Garden" not only gives the people of Beijing another good place to get close to nature. It will also echo with the "Xiangshan Park", and gradually began to form the most popular tourist attraction in western Beijing.

Despite the current social system, these two pieces of news do not allow him to immediately put into action and turn them into actual money. But his imagination is completely instinctive, and if he rehearses it in his head, he can also get some self-satisfaction from it.

The news of the government's regulation of the purchase price of agricultural products is actually one of the signals that Hong Yanwu has been waiting for. This undoubtedly reflects the trend of the upper strata gradually beginning to open up the rural economy.

But that's about it. He had to wait a little longer for his cousin's specific plan.

Because even if Secretary An has a pioneering and enterprising spirit, and even dares to become the first team secretary in the suburbs of Beijing to emulate Fengyang Xiaogang Village's "package production to households", the life in the village will not be much better.

Don't forget, Longkou Village is located at the foot of Jiulong Mountain, with little arable land, and these generations have many children. Relying solely on increasing grain production to feed is by no means the way out for that village.

As for the last one, Hong Yanwu didn't care about it the most, and even deliberately ignored it.

It's not that he's disrespectful to the soldiers who came back, he's too indifferent to that war.

On the contrary, in his previous life, he had learned enough about that war through news from all sides. The inside story he knows is far more real, bloody, and touching than those official reports.

So he also has more compassion and respect for those who have died in this war.

But he just couldn't do anything about it, and he couldn't change anything, so he could only be sentimental. Why bother yourself?

In this way, it is a reasonable choice to focus on your own small life and avoid negative emotions.

It's just that life is so interesting. If Hong Yanwu could really pay attention to the news in the newspaper about the "Combat Heroes and Models Report Group", he would not think so.

As long as he looks at it carefully, he will not only be greatly surprised by the arrangement of fate, but will even have a deeper reflection on the future, and then take some precautions.

Not for anything else, but because the hero who spoke at this "report conference" has an extra name that should not have appeared in it, and that is his old acquaintance - Gao Ming.

Yes, Gao Ming, who should have found a way to stay in the capital, had never been on the battlefield in his previous life. In this life, due to the indirect influence of Hong Yanwu, he was not only pushed to the battlefield by his father, but also came back after being tempered by war.

At this time, Gao Ming had just recovered from the injuries he suffered on the battlefield, and he was promoted to deputy company commander. In addition, he will also attend the conference as a heroic representative of the Beijing soldiers, and will have up to half an hour to speak.

His father, of course, was deeply gratified and honored by this. Not only welcomed this son home like a hero. also re-regarded Gao Ming as the hope of the Gao family.

In short, in this life, even if Hong Yanwu didn't expect it or didn't want to, some people and some things are not the same as the history he knows after all.

And it's safe to assume that these deviations and changes will grow larger over time. Perhaps by the time he realized this, some of the effects were already doomed to be irreparable, or would have caused serious hindrances to him.

But this can't be helped, because the beauty of life will always dull people more and more. And he is not a god, just a mortal living in the red dust, and some things are not under his control.

Back to the concrete life, let's take a good look at Hong Yanwu's busy things in the past five months in chronological order.

At noon on the day of "May Day", except for Hong Yanwu, he brought "Sugar Heart" into his door. There were also two weddings of his acquaintances going on at the same time.

One is "Little Daughter-in-law" and "Little Cheese". One is the sister of "Little Baizi" Bai Yurong and the technician in the factory.

Here let's talk about the hundred schools first.

The brother-in-law of "Little Baizi" is a native of Xi'an, a college student who stayed in Beijing, and after getting married, he had to move from the dormitory to Baijia.

There are not many relatives in his hometown, and his parents have not yet retired, so he wants to ask for leave to attend the wedding, but he didn't expect the leader to approve it. I can only pass the word over, saying that the work is important, don't waste money at both ends, you can just take your daughter-in-law home to see it during the New Year. The wedding banquet was also held here in 100 schools.

So in the afternoon of the same day, I sent "Aunt Bao" and "Sugar Heart" to the taxi. Hong Yanwu called Chen Liquan and went directly to the home of the "Little Baizi" to say hello to the whole family of the "Little Baizi".

"Money" Hong Yanwu had already asked this little brother to bring home, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were counted together, and they paid 666 yuan. This number is not only auspicious, but also a well-deserved share.

Of course, Hong Yanwu didn't forget to say hello in advance, and said that there was something at home and he couldn't come to drink the wedding wine.

Unexpectedly, after arriving here, I found that one of the flowing water seats opened by the "Little Baizi" family had not moved, so it was prepared for the two of them.

Well, since it's hard to be warm, you can only have another meal.

If you want to talk about the lively wedding banquet at noon, in fact, the hundreds of families also care about persuading relatives, friends and colleagues of the bride and groom. I really didn't eat and drink much, and even the groom kept using "fake wine" mixed with water to cope with the scene, and he didn't get drunk at all.

It's okay to send off the other guests. The "Little Baizi" family just sat down and had a happy drink with Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan.

Unexpectedly, out of gratitude, the "Little Baizi" family brought up the old things again, and the more they chatted with each other, the hotter they became, and they drank until seven o'clock in the evening.

Not to mention that the old man is not strong enough to drink. Even the groom who met for the first time was so sincere that he could only be put on the bed by Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan.

This made Hong Yanwu quite embarrassed. The groom who didn't capsize for a day made him drink high, what is this called!

So when he left, he said sorry to Bai Yurong. It's just that this kind of thing is not so easy to speak, and the sentence "Blame me, blame me, delayed your good life", but said that Bai Yurong blushed.

It's like he's deliberately making fun of his new daughter-in-law, it's all a sin! Nonsense, leave quickly!

As for the "little daughter-in-law" and "little cheese", Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan didn't go that day, but it didn't matter.

Because in fact, the little couple also listened to Hong Yanwu's opinion and chose to get married in a low-key manner. Moreover, the table they held at home on May Day was simply a form with a special purpose.

The dishes are all made by "small cheese" themselves, including chicken, duck and fish, but they are affordable but not of any grade.

As for the guests, in addition to a big sister and two little brothers who moved over with "Little Cheese". The rest were all people from neighborhood offices, ethnic affairs committees, and police stations.

And the little couple has only one purpose in this move, which is to "expose" themselves. I want these people to see their situation, relieve these people's curiosity, and take care of things in the future, so that they will not always be aimed at them.

It should be said that the effect is very good. It is also necessary.

Because don't look at the little couple didn't make new furniture at all, they only brought the old furniture from the "Little Cheese" home. But they have a black-and-white TV and two bicycles at home. This is not at all in line with their situation of not having a job, and it has long aroused the suspicion of neighbors.

Thanks to the "little daughter-in-law" who borrowed this meal to "expose the bottom" to a few face-appreciating guests, this hidden danger was eliminated.

He followed Hong Yanwu's perfunctory tricks, saying that they themselves occasionally did odd jobs, and then helped people find ways to buy good cigarettes and alcohol, and earn a few errands.

Then I blew that the TV I bought was cheap, and took out a low-cost invoice to "show" these people on the spot. Everything makes sense.

When they finally left, the little couple did not forget to bring some cigarettes, alcohol, and sugar to several "witnesses".

In this way, those people get the benefits for nothing. I pity this family is lonely, and they don't even have any elderly relatives, so they have to rely on them to do this. Even if they knew that their method of getting money was a small sin, they turned a blind eye, and no one really cheered them up.

On the contrary, they all thought that if they needed to buy these things in the future, there would be a more convenient way.

Therefore, the performance of the little couple was a complete success, which played a role in preventing disasters before they happen and destroying wealth and eliminating disasters.

In addition, it is a pity to say that the little couple is a little shabby, but it is not necessarily. Because the real wedding banquet is actually set on the second day.

At noon on May 2, the "little daughter-in-law" and "little cheese" and their brothers were collectively closed for a day.

Together with Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, the old brothers "Kitchen Knife", "Shunzi" and "Three Jumpers" gathered in the restaurant on the second floor of the east building of the "Beijing Hotel".

The little two "burned" more than 300 pieces and ordered two tables of swallow wings.

In this meal, the wine was all Wuliangye. Each person who smoked a peony was distributed.

Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were still the same, and they also gave the little couple a congratulatory gift of 666 yuan. And the "kitchen knife", "straight", and "three jumpers" each followed 200 shares.

I'm afraid that many high-ranking cadres and their wedding banquets can't reach such a high standard.

And what is particularly commendable is that the "little daughter-in-law" knows how to feel sorry for her brother, and she really looks like a big brother.

For the subordinates, he not only referred to him as Xie Wan, but also said that it was not easy for the brothers to make money, and in the future, he would only give the brothers their followers, and he would never turn it around and take the hard-earned money of the brothers.

This made Hong Yanwu feel that this kid was really mixed up.

This is not only a matter of having money in hand but not changing in heart. What is rare is that the mind and vision of the "little daughter-in-law" have also risen with it, and she actually knows how to buy people's hearts. Such people certainly deserve to be reused.

Of course, after the banquet, the little two want to toast, and the first one has to toast Hong Yanwu.

This is not simply according to the order of status, but because they are also full of emotion in their hearts like the "little Baizi" family.

Don't forget, if it weren't for Hong Yanwu, they would never be where they are today, I'm afraid I don't know who will force them to death for their debts.

And the idea that they would get married after saving up 5,000 yuan was more like a joke at this time. Now even 20,000 yuan has already been earned.

How can they not be grateful, how can they not rejoice, how can they not be excited?

It's all in the glass.

In order to show respect, the little two who wore a red silk flower on their chests bowed to Hong Yanwu, and then drank three glasses of wine in a row, triggering the first full house for this lively wedding banquet.

This convivial atmosphere not only attracted the envious eyes of the waiters, but also a few tables of foreigners were attracted with great interest by their group of happy young people.

Yes, happiness is always contagious.
