"Uncle, then why don't you take us over today, it just so happens that Haohao wants to see the sea, and we all actually want to go to the beach to have a fun!" Li Liang proposed, "We will play in Pengcheng for two days and then go directly from Pengcheng to Gannan, and then you will stay in the factory and work directly!"

"Aren't you going to play in Yangcheng for two more days? There are still many places to play in Yangcheng, such as the Huangpu Military Academy and the Huanghuagang Martyrs' Tomb, all of which can be visited!" Li Shuangyuan said.

"Xiaodong, it's still important that you go to work, let's go to Pengcheng to play for two days!" said the old man Li Chengxi.

Li Liang's parents also nodded, as for Li Meng and Li Yin, they were already excited, after all, the weather in Yangcheng is too hot now, and everyone is looking forward to being able to go to the beach to see the long-awaited sea.

Li Shuangyuan saw that everyone had reached an agreement and wanted to go to Pengcheng to see the sea, so he said with a smile: "Okay, we'll come back after breakfast and pack up and set off!"

There are many trains from Yangcheng to Pengcheng, even now in 1981, because of the construction of Pengcheng Special Economic Zone, the personnel exchanges between the two sides are very intensive.

At Yangcheng Bus Station, there is a passenger bus to Pengcheng every half an hour.

After breakfast, the group packed their luggage at the Yat-sen University Guest House, left their rooms at the front desk of the guest house, and boarded the bus in the direction of the bus station. When he arrived at the Yangcheng bus station, Li Shuangcheng asked the others to wait on the chairs in the waiting hall, and he went to the ticket window to line up.

The bus from Yangcheng to Pengcheng is obviously better and newer than the bus from Gannan to Yangcheng, and it is very comfortable to sit on. Li Liang sat in the middle aisle, and Li Hao sat by the window. Across the aisle are my sister Li Meng and cousin Li Yin. Li Liang's parents, Li Shuangzhu, sat in the back row of Li Liang with his grandfather and uncle.

As the bus drove out of the Yangcheng bus station and out of the Yangcheng urban area, the suburbs adjacent to Yangcheng looked much better than the county seat of Hekang County, and the situation in the suburbs of Yangcheng was much better than that of Hekang County.

In Hekang County, including the county seat, except for a small number of units with office buildings that may be two- or three-story buildings, the houses of ordinary residents are generally one-story brick houses, and even some particularly poor families still live in adobe houses.

In the suburbs of Yangcheng, Li Liang observed that the houses on both sides of the national highway could see one or two small buildings with two or three floors from time to time. After the reform and opening up, the state's policies on foreign-related and overseas Chinese have been gradually liberalized, and people with overseas connections will generally be more economically wealthy.

Before the reform and opening up, having overseas relations was a thing that made people smell and change. Most people with overseas connections do not dare to expose their overseas connections, and those who have been exposed have undergone harsh social tests.

In October 1969, Guangdong Province, which had a large number of overseas Chinese dependents, formulated the "Six Regulations on Handling Cadres with Overseas Relations," which stipulated that "all cadres with ties with Hong Kong, Macao, and overseas, regardless of the occupation of their relatives, should be dealt with strictly if they maintain political and economic ties after education." It is necessary to carry out necessary education in criticism and struggle according to the situation, and to conduct examinations (in serious cases, they must be removed from the ranks, and some will be retired)"; in the future, "no one with overseas, Hong Kong, and Macao ties will be recruited as cadres, and the marriages of cadres must be properly checked," and so on.

Therefore, when most people fill out the social relations in their resumes, they hide their relatives and friends overseas (except those that have been made public), and they never mention them to outsiders in their daily interactions, and even their children do not know that they have such relatives.

However, after the reform and opening up, the situation has been much better, and people are proud to have overseas relations.

In the 60s and 70s, the most important thing for young men and women to marry was to look at the family composition, and the criteria for choosing a mate during the Cultural (Harmonious) Revolution were mainly the family component, that is, the political background, because the "black five categories" and "dog cubs" not only affected themselves, but also affected the next generation of recruitment, schooling, and work, so workers and soldiers were the first choice for girls to choose a mate.

In the 80s, when the country was opened, the most preferred family conditions for choosing a mate became "sea, land and air", "sea" refers to overseas relations, "land (land)" refers to property confiscated during the Cultural Revolution and was returned after the implementation of the policy, and "empty" refers to having a ready-made unit house that can be moved in immediately.

Li Liang sat in the car, and under the explanation of the uncle in the back row all the way, he gradually arrived in Pengcheng.

On the outskirts of Pengcheng, Li Liang saw scenes that were almost not much different from those in Hekang County, with old cows grazing in the sun, old farmers carrying hoes and plows, and children going wild in the fields.

But when the car drove into the Pengcheng city, the situation became very different. Everywhere you look, you'll see trucks carrying construction materials and muck on the road, new roads and buildings rising from the ground. Some of these buildings have been completed and become factories and companies, and some are still under construction, and you can still see the busy workers on the buildings from a distance when you sit in the car.

The streets are full of businessmen in suits and leather shoes, and even there are more cars on the street than you can see in Yangcheng. The way everyone travels in a hurry is really different from the slow and leisurely mainland.

Li Liang sat in his place, looking at this scene, his voice couldn't help but jam out a song, a song that was very suitable for the situation. Li Liang couldn't help but hum slowly:

"1979

It was spring

There was an old man who drew a circle on the shore of the South China Sea

1979 year

It was spring

There was an old man who drew a circle on the shore of the South China Sea

Fabulous rise of a city

Miraculously gathered a mountain of gold

The spring thunder awakened the inside and outside of the Great Wall

Chunhui warmed both sides of the river

Ahh

You have taken a new step in the majestic mountains and rivers

You have taken a new step in the majestic mountains and rivers

Walk into the spring of Vientiane's renewal"

He sang it several times in a row, originally there was a second half of this song, but the second half of the song is about the story of the old man in 92, in 1981 now, it is obviously out of place, Li Liang didn't dare to sing the second half, just kept humming the first half.

"Brother Liang, what song are you singing, it's so good?" Li Hao, a cousin on the side, couldn't help but ask after listening to Li Liang sing a few times.

From the 70s to the early 80s, most of the domestic music scene was revolutionary songs. 'On the Golden Mountain of Beijing', 'The Spring Water in the Frontier is Clear and Pure', 'We Are the Successors of Communism', 'The 15th Moon of August', 'Shajiabang', etc.

This 'Spring Story' is refreshing to hear.

Li Liang's humming voice was not small, and his sister Li Meng, who was sitting next to him, and his parents and uncle Li Shuangyu in the back row, they all heard it.

"Liangzi, when did you learn to sing?" asked Li Meng in surprise.

Li Liang usually has no hobby of singing at home, but now he not only hears Li Liang singing, but also a song that he has never heard.

"Ryoko, where did you hear this song, why have I never heard it?" asked the uncle sitting in the back row.

"I don't have anything to figure out myself!" Li Liang said.

"Son, don't sing like that!" Li Shuangzhu, who was sitting in the back row, suddenly spoke, "Great leader, how can you be said to be an old man? Liangzi, don't sing this song in the future!"

The political sensitivities of those who lived through that chaotic era were incomprehensible to those of later generations.

And Li Liang happened to come from the next generation, and he had his own understanding of that era, he understood his father's mood very well, and hurriedly nodded: "Okay, I won't sing in the future!"

At this time, a person suddenly stood up from the front row of Li Liang, this person was about 40 years old, a middle-aged man, not tall, but very burly.

With a smile on his face, he turned around and asked Li Liangdao, "This little friend, what is the name of this song you are singing, and where did you hear it?"

This middle-aged man's question made Li Liang's family change when they heard it, for fear that this was a person with bad intentions.

"Oh, the story of spring, this is something I have nothing to figure out nonsense!" Li Liang said.

"Yes, children are very musical, I think many professionals may not be able to create such excellent and beautiful songs!" The middle-aged man praised, "Children, what is your name, do you have time to go with me to Yangcheng TV?"

"Huh?"

What are you doing at Yangcheng TV?

"That's right, my name is Huang Yaohua, I am a musician of Yangcheng TV, the purpose of my visit to Pengcheng this time is to see the development of Pengcheng in recent years, and write a song about the development of Pengcheng!" The middle-aged man explained, "I didn't expect such a coincidence, I heard this song sung by the children in the car, I don't know if you can go back to Yangcheng TV with me, I will record this song for you!"
