"A friend from a supplier invited me to come over and have a look, and when I was there, I would explore the way there to see if there was a project I could work on. If there is, I'll report back to you, and we'll go over and investigate together."

Although Liu Xiaokang is a young man who has just graduated, he has many friends, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is several times more than Yang Quan. Tiannan Haibei is distributed all over the country, and every time he goes out, he is deeply tested by alcohol, and he is a good comrade who suffers. Just looking at the big belly, Liu Xiaokang has already taken the lead in becoming a developed country.

"Next time there is such a good thing, you can call me to go with me, I also want to travel there. Yang Quan leaned over and patted Liu Xiaokang's stomach and smiled meaningfully.

……

Xia Mengxue's eighteenth birthday came in anticipation.

Xia Mengxue, as Yuan Qingli's biological daughter, is not as good as before. Yuan Qingli shuttled and was busy in the research group every day, responsible for various project matters, and his busy feet did not touch the ground, so he naturally couldn't remember Xia Mengxue's birthday.

But right now, Xia Mengxue obviously hopes that Yang Quan will come to help him celebrate his birthday. Due to the throbbing of the girl's flower season, since the two of them joined forces to complete the trademark design of the door, Xia Mengxue has not reduced her attention to Yang Quan.

Asking about Yang Quan's deeds in the previous two years on campus, and chatting with his father about work at home, were all just to understand what Yang Quan had done and what he had done. Xia Mengxue didn't know why she was like this, but she was full of interest in the gentle and well-rounded teenager.

Yuan Qingli really didn't know that he was busy, but as a mother, Teacher Xia was transparent in his heart.

She found an opportunity when she was sleeping at night, and inadvertently said that she wanted to invite Yang Quan to have a dinner at home. and pretending not to know, he said to himself that his daughter's eighteenth birthday was approaching.

Yuan Qingli instinctively smelled the crisis in this inadvertent remark, sometimes people's desire to survive is really strong. If it's not an instinctive reaction, it's like treating the trivial words on weekdays, and ignore it as a deaf ear. Then maybe the family will be smiling at themselves next week.

On the second day, he hurriedly found Yang Quan, and after pointing out the theme, he asked Yang Quan to arrive at night, otherwise he would go on strike and take a vacation. Half of the hot potato was handed over to Yang Quan, and the two of them had a headache together about what gift to give.

Eighteen years old, the first dividing line in life. Eighteen years old, the beginning of another stage of life. The poet Xi Murong said that "sixteen-year-old flowers only bloom once", but for Yang Quan and others, eighteen-year-old is the season of flowers.

What kind of gifts does a blooming girl like?

Yang Quan and Yuan Qingli deliberately gave themselves a half-day off, and the two of them took a motorcycle to the department store again, both of them knew the importance of 18-year-old adults, but if they expressed their hearts, they were all confused.

In 1984, the department store on Zhongshan North Road on the south side of SX Road Plaza began to expand, and the three-storey antique building Yongan Shopping Mall on the banks of the Qinhuai River of Confucius Temple opened after reconstruction, both of which were shopping options.

The two of them walked around the store one after the other, and the items on the counter were one by one. An hour later, Yuan Qingli's feet were tired, he raised his hand to surrender, and Yang Quan proposed: "Why don't we each choose a piece of clothing, I don't know what to buy if we go on like this."

"This year is different, if you send clothes this year, you will die" is a pun, Yang Quan replied humorously. He was also tired enough, when he came to see someone on the side of the road sending letters, he wanted to simply send some stamps for the Year of the Dragon, not only commemorative value, but also after 20 years, it can appreciate and make a lot of money.

"I see that there are electric cars sold next to me, why don't you give this?" Yuan Qingli envied the children next to him who were playing wired remote control racing, if he hadn't seen a lot of people, he really wanted to grab it and play two.

"Forget it, you don't want to live, and I don't want to die" Yang Quan stuck his waist and complained beside him, although he really wanted to play that racing.

"Where's the BB machine?"

"It's not just ugly, it's heavy. She doesn't need a business office, no. ”

"Sewing machine?"

"Do you dare to enter the house?

"Motorcycles?"

"Why don't you leave the bank three times, we have to send it with heart. Nope"

"If you can do it, you can't do it, you have to say it, you have to say it, you propose it," Yuan Qingli said with his burden and shook his legs. He was in a hurry, and the proposal on the left would not work, nor would the proposal on the right.

"Wait, I suddenly have a good idea. Yang Quan suddenly had an idea, eighteen years old is the beginning of youth for women. This kind of time and memory deserves to be recorded, and a camera is just right for you.

Yang Quan applauded himself.

"What do you think, tell me quickly" Yuan Qingli hurriedly leaned to the side and asked, his expression at this moment was like finding a problem in the test, and when he couldn't solve it, Yang Quan suddenly said that there was a plan to solve it.

He was really looking forward to it.

"Dead and poor don't die teammates, goodbye, I want to be busy" The sentence was thrown down, and after speaking, Yang Quan threw off his legs and quickly disappeared around the corner.

"Poor Dao, teammates, Wang Ba calf!" Yuan Qingli looked at Yang Quan, who had turned away, and scolded angrily.

After Yang Quan shook off Yuan Qingli, he found the counter where the camera was sold and took a closer look.

In the 80s, cameras were a niche and luxury, and the things that ordinary families tried to save money to buy included at least three major items, bicycles, sewing machines, televisions and other practical things. And the camera, a relatively extremely luxurious product, is by no means something that ordinary people can afford.

If you have the need to take pictures, the first thing that comes to mind may be to go to the photo studio to complete the shooting task, such as taking a group of family photos within a year.

There are not many types of cameras in the department store, and Yang Quan basically swept them at a glance and basically made them all domestic brands. Similar to pearls/rivers, seagulls, peonies, the Great Wall, etc. Yang Quan didn't know much about cameras, so he asked the eldest sister to take a better look at the money she sold.

"The Phoenix 205 camera is the best seller. "The eldest sister saw that Yang Quan was wearing it better, so she didn't mind taking it out for a closer look.

"Ouch, this is good, you can buy this. Just as Yang Quan was about to take a closer look, Yuan Qingli secretly came out from behind his shoulder and said loudly.

"Do you still understand this?" Yang Quanjian didn't get rid of anyone, pretending not to send anything just now, picked up the camera and asked directly.

"Understand, the prototype seagull camera" Yuan Qingli took it and said while touching it: "A few years ago, the backbone from all over the country (mainly formed by the second Hucheng Camera Factory, Hucheng Film Machinery Factory, Jinling Jiangnan Optical Instrument Factory, Jinling Surveying and Mapping Instrument Factory, and Jinling Mold Factory No. 5) gathered in Damao Mountain, the old revolutionary base area in northeastern Jiangxi, and began to start a hard business.

This factory is called "Gan Provincial Optical Instrument General Factory." At the beginning of 1970, it was built and put into production, and directly produced the 205 type camera of Shangzhao No. 2 Factory, using the "Seagull" trademark. Later, Jiang Guang had to consider having his own trademark and brand strategy. In 1983, Jiangguang General Factory used the "Phoenix" trademark. This is an old product, but it's still very durable. ”

"Is there anything better then?" Yang Quan felt that the style design was not liked, and it was indeed a bit old-fashioned.

"There's an imported goods, and I want a foreign exchange coupon," the eldest sister said.

"That's not a problem, take it out and take a look. Yang Quan didn't mind that.

"The Olympus U-2 has an autofocus system, a small color point-and-shoot camera, and it has to be paired with Kodak color film. It looks great when it comes out. ”

"Okay, that's it. In addition, I took more film. "This little guy is really different among the many figures, Yang Quan made a decision directly after seeing the appearance, and didn't even ask the price, he directly confirmed.

Yang Quanquan thought about giving this camera, and in conjunction with a chicken soup article, the gift was perfect.

The chicken soup article has even been made up in my mind, which is the article I saw before.

[What does it mean to be eighteen years old?]

Pack your bags and walk in the north and south of the motherland, looking for the long-term dream in your heart.

At the age of eighteen, it's time to say goodbye to mediocrity and take responsibility. As a result, you have learned to walk the road under your feet, sing the songs of your heart, no longer avoid today's truth and triviality, and learn to bear and conquer......

If it was said that it was the first years of a carefree life, which contained a deep dependence on parents, then after the age of eighteen, it was a quiet awakening to the world, realizing the great responsibility of "the heavens will descend to the heavens", and understanding the deep meaning of "what you get on paper and finally feel shallow" and the importance of "never knowing that you have to do it"; no longer blindly gnawing on books, but linking theory with practice and mobilizing enthusiasm; it is no longer "a gentleman who does not do his hands", but "a gentleman who does more when he talks about it"; It is no longer about sitting back and relaxing, getting by, but caring about the world and aiming at the Quartet.

Standing in the sun, you will see yourself gradually growing, and your hair flowing in the sun shines with a youthful sheen. Have a long-lost chic!
