Chapter 161: I Can Understand
"Cheng, you stay, I'll go home for dinner too, it's almost half past twelve......" Director Bai didn't like to listen to others chewing his tongue behind his back, so he sank his face and walked out of the communication room directly.
Accepting Director Bai's task, Hong Tao didn't take it to heart, he finished lunch and went to the small building for a walk as usual. He doesn't have to worry about the beauty store and clothing store anymore, and the Endeavor store has nothing to do with him, after changing the share to a rental counter, Hong Tao only needs to take care of this house, don't let those vicious intellectuals burn it, and then collect the rent on schedule, just like a small landlord.
The shop is empty today, since Hong Tao said that he wanted to make Grandpa Dajiang's private restaurant into a house in all old-fashioned styles, the second master is the same as the last one, as long as the weather is good, he will change into his original outfit, pedaling his German warrior's tricycle around the city. Now he not only collects the old furniture that he can see, is in good condition, and has good materials, but also buys it back as long as it is about the same age, looks passable, can reach hardwood, and can be used in private restaurants. In addition, he also received a lot of porcelain, some of which are real and some are fake, most of them are in the Republic of China and the late Qing period, not to mention any antiques, but they all look very high-end and high-end, Meng Yimeng and those foreigners should still be fine.
After a turn in the small building, Hong Tao went to the sports school for training alone with his bag, and now that 6 Yunpeng is gone, no one will be his bodyguard anymore, and safety has become a big problem. But he came up with an idea for himself, which was a taxi. Pull yourself directly to the gate of the sports school, and after training, follow those brothers and sisters. It's a lot safer that way.
The taxi industry, in fact, has been around since more than five years, at the beginning it was specially used to transport foreign guests, and slowly developed to the early 8o, the scale is getting bigger and bigger, and the car has also changed from the original Volga, Poland Warsaw, old Shanghai, old Hongqi, to Nissan, Toyota and Citroen. These cars don't have overhead lights. It's just that the company's name is sprayed with paint on the door, such as Auto, BAIC, and Beifu, with Toyota Corolla models as the mainstay, BAIC as Nissan and French Bairu as the mainstay, and Beifu as Mercedes-Benz and Citroen.
In these models. Hong Tao's favorite is the French Citroen, this model is called Citroen CX, which just came out in 1974 and has a body length of 4666 mm. And the body height is only 136o mm. The low, streamlined body sets it apart from other sedans of its time. Moreover, the CX also adopts a new generation of liquid-gas lifting suspension system, which makes the vehicle very stable at high speed, and its steering is the world's largest variable power steering system.
In Hong Tao's impression, the most striking feature of the Citroen CX is that when it is parked, the body will suddenly drop a little shorter, and the four tires seem to be retracted into the body, and the ground is almost close to the ground. And when it starts. The hydraulic-pneumatic suspension system raises the height of the chassis, like a man lying on the ground preparing to start. Flickeringly stood up.
In the early 8o's, whether it was a Japanese car in full swing, or an old German car, and then counting American cars, without exception were the kind of angular appearance, only the Citroen CX was a streamlined body, which was very in line with the aesthetics of the 21st century. Now when Hong Tao thinks of this car, he will ponder a question, will the designer who designed this car also be a French man who has traveled through the past from the afterlife?
In the early 8o's taxis, they were not for the masses of the people, and the price of 6 cents to 8 cents a kilometer was unacceptable to the people, so they were not full of streets to sweep the work, but stayed at the door of various foreign-related hotels and restaurants and dozens of taxi service stations all over the capital. If ordinary people want to take a taxi, it is not impossible, then they need to call in advance to book or go to the taxi service station to wait. If you want to wave and stop on the road, it is simply impossible, not that you can't meet a taxi that is driving empty, but you don't dare to pull you when you meet them, and you don't go through the dispatch command or don't solicit passengers at the taxi stand, that's a crime, it's corruption!
Hong Tao borrowed the light of the tourist attraction of Lama Temple and Guozijian, and there is also a taxi service station here, so he even saves by calling to make an appointment, as long as he goes out, he can find a car, because there are always one or two taxis here, as for what model, then there is no way to choose, catch up with what to sit on, anyway, there is 8 cents for air conditioning, and 6 cents for no air conditioning.
At this time, the taxi did not have a meter, that is, according to the odometer to see the number of kilometers, and then calculate the price, and there was no machine ticket, at first it was a handwritten ticket, and then it evolved into a tearing ticket, a kind of fixed ticket that is slightly larger than the food stamp, the minimum face value is 1 cent.
"Xiao Tao, come, Dad and you have something to discuss. As soon as he finished dinner at his grandmother's house in the evening, his father stopped Hong Tao, who was about to run to the small building, with a mysterious look, and the expression on his face seemed to be very excited, even if he tried his best not to let himself be exposed, Hong Tao could still sense that his father was unusually happy today.
"Why are you still so mysterious?" Hong Tao followed his father back to his house, and it was very strange to see that his father had plugged in the door.
"You are also a big child, and you should know some things at home, I want to ask for your opinion, do you want to live in a different environment, that is, we move to another house?" the father lit a cigarette and asked Hong Tao in a low voice.
"Moving!?Is our house coming back?" Hong Tao was so shocked that he blurted out all the things he shouldn't have said.
"You...... How do you know about our house?!" The cigarette in his father's hand trembled and fell directly onto his pants, and he hurriedly shook off the cigarette butts and ashes, while kicking his eyes and asking Hong Tao.
"Oh...... One day I was looking for something in your study, and I saw what you had written, and threw it under the table in a ball. "Hong Tao is worthy of being a veteran soldier on the lying front, his face is not red, his breath is not panting, and he instantly finds an explanation that sounds very reasonable, and then you can't confirm it.
"Where's the thing? where did you put it?" the father apparently believed, and began to inquire about the whereabouts of the little paper ball.
"I'm going to burn it, it's better not to let outsiders know about this thing, you say?" Hong Tao tried to make himself more sensible.
"Right...... Right...... Now that you know, I won't hide it from you, this house, it's the only inheritance left by your grandparents, it was confiscated before, I thought it was gone, and I didn't tell you, but two years ago, there was a policy down, saying that I could come back, so I went to try, and I really could, I pondered, if we moved in, the room should be bigger, I'm afraid you don't want to, what do you say?" Father felt that Hong Tao handled it properly, and after Hong Tao's continuous stimulation in the past few years, his father was used to him often being able to do some things that adults can do.
"So you're coming back to the house?" Hong Tao was very impressed by this house, because he had lived there since the first year of junior high school, and it was not until he graduated from college and joined the job that he moved back to the small building where he lives now, because he wanted to stand on his own, and the result was indeed successful.
But the trajectory of this life obviously made him a little messy, the house that was originally going to come back in 85, how could it be in 83? No wonder my father was always away from home in the past two years, he was in the study to write when he had nothing to do, and he often ran out on his days off.
"Oh, no, no, it's just that I've inquired about all the policy things, and I have to run for specific problems, and it's not so easy. I'm just asking for your opinion first, your mother has agreed, after all, the new house is much closer to her workplace, and much closer to where I work, mainly you, I want this house for you, I want you to have a better learning environment. In the past few years, I have also seen those things that you and your aunt and their husband have made, to be honest, you are much better than your father and me, but I still want you to be a learned person, not a rich person, can you understand this?"
"I can understand, don't worry, I won't hold you back, let alone sue grandpa, but I have a plan, it's best to move when I'm in junior high school, so I don't have to transfer schools." You also know that I have a lot of trouble getting along with the teachers at school, and if I change to a new environment, I'm afraid you will have to run to the school every day to listen to the teacher's count, not only will you be affected, but it will not be good for my studies, right?"
Hong Tao must understand his father, even if he is unwilling, he has to understand, he is such a person, he was so angry that he choked in his previous life, don't come again in this life, try to meet his wishes, move to Xicheng to live, it's not that he can't take care of the business here, at most it's 2 or 3 kilometers away.
"Hehehe, you are more sensible than I imagined, don't worry, I have talked to your Principal Bai, I will not transfer you to another school, she still wants you to be sent to the upper district focus, but you are not a Young Pioneer, and there are no good students, alas, this matter is not too easy. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if we are escorted or not now, after we move, we have to go to school in Xicheng, with your grades, it's no problem to take the junior high school exam and take the high school exam again, we don't need to escort it, we can get admitted with real skills, do you say it's good!"
