The eighties were severely lacking, and certainly cannot be compared with the fifties and sixties.

Relatively speaking, the coastal city of the dry port is much richer than the inland city in all aspects. It is now 1981, and if nothing else, in three years the dry port will be one of the 14 coastal open port cities. This is second only to the policy treatment of the Special Administrative Region.

Although there are still three years to go, when Li Lu calms down and observes the city, he clearly feels the explosive power of the market economy contained under the surface.

Not to mention the others, there are many private restaurants that have sprung up like mushrooms after the rain. If this thing is going to be shelved in the mainland, maybe the government will come to the door to arrest people, and speculation will not kill you by digging into the corner of socialism.

People's eyes are no longer a single glance, but a little more drifting, no longer staring at the one-third of an acre of land at home, but beginning to look at money.

One of the costs of developing the economy is the collapse of the social value system, and then rebuilding it to form a new social value system, which is a long process that continues to be reconstructed until the first two decades of the twenty-first century.

The wave of reform and opening up landed on the southern coast and swept north and inward. This process takes a certain amount of time. Therefore, while all kinds of private enterprises have sprung up in the southern coastal areas, the inland and northern regions can only sneak around and let go.

For Li Lu, the dry port seems unfamiliar, after all, in his memory, only four years ago in the dry port, it was still 1977, he was sixteen years old, directly entered the army as a big soldier, two years later with the army to participate in the counterattack, but did not evacuate the war zone like others, but stayed to participate in a more brutal round battle. The next two years were spent almost on the front line, and what was even more impressive was the sweltering rainforest full of dangers.

And there are not many memories of the dry port in later generations, only a few times when I accompanied my wife home, and some things I heard about her hometown from my wife.

What irritated his eyes even more was that the scene he saw was basically gray and white, and the clothes of the people, the style and color of the buildings, the monochromatic tones, and the outrageously blue sky all strongly contrasted with the colorful urban impressions of later generations.

In a roadside restaurant, Liang Hongbing beckoned the boss to serve the food, poured two glasses of rice wine brewed by the farmer, and said with a smile, "When I first came back, I was the same, I felt fresh everywhere." I worked in the army for 18 years, but unfortunately I changed jobs before the war. ”

He thought he could understand Li Lu's mood when he first returned to the place, but he didn't know how Li Lu was comparing it to the city of later generations.

"From a certain point of view, you're in luck." Li Lu picked up the rice wine and looked at it, he didn't drink less of this thing, and every time he accompanied his wife back to her parents' house, it was not good to have two or three catties.

Liang Hongbing didn't care about the tone of Li Lu's speech, and Li Lu didn't realize that when he spoke, he unconsciously stood in the perspective of the major general's intelligence officer, rather than the retired soldier.

Liang Hongbing shook his head and raised his glass, "Come, veterans salute the battle heroes!" ”

Li Lu and Liang Hongbing clinked glasses, "Captain Liang, you are too polite, I will do it first as a respect." ”

Two or two glasses are stuffy in one sip.

The appetizers are coming up one after another, and the dishes in restaurants in this era usually have only two characteristics, and the portions are full of oil and water!

Big fish and big meat, it's about meat, green vegetables? No one went to the restaurant to order vegetables. Just like today's sweet potato leaves are still fed to pigs, and the sweet potato leaves of later generations were once sold for more than ten yuan a catty. Li Lu's index finger moved, occupying this Li Lu's body, and also inherited his large amount of food.

At the age of twenty, it is not too much to say that he is growing his body.

A gust of wind swept away the clouds, and Li Lushun came back with the food that was lacking in the morning. After filling his stomach, he slowly pushed the cup and changed the lamp.

"Brother, don't mind if I call you brother." Liang Hongbing's dark face was red.

Li Lu hurriedly took the cup, "Brother Liang, you are polite!" I did it! ”

At this time, Li Lu realized that the young man's momentum did not disappear with the consciousness of the original owner, which was very good.

"Haha!"

Liang Hongbing poured Li Lu full of wine and said, "You are a combat hero, and the assignment must be no different, how is it, has it fallen?" ”

This is not wrong at all, give the local government ten dares not dare to wronged the combat heroes, now the prestige of the army is in full swing, Li Lu is a hero under the honor, a typical model figure of the whole army in the country, if you don't arrange it well, then it is called the brain to let the door clamp.

"I haven't had time to go to the civil affairs department yet, and I don't know where to get it." Li Lu shook his head and said truthfully.

Liang Hongbing was overjoyed and said, "Are you interested in coming to the Public Security Bureau?" Go directly to the criminal police team, and I'll solve it for you. ”

Civil servants in this era, to be exact, do not have the concept of civil servants. Working in a government office is really not an attractive thing. A few years after the end of the Great Operation, there was a rebuilding of institutions everywhere, and it can be said that this era was the weakest time for government institutions.

In the eighties, the lowest social status was civil servants, not to mention civil servants in the political and legal system!

Don't look at Liang Hongbing's big package, if Li Lu didn't have those two great feats, he would never dare to say this.

After all, in an official-based country, no matter what era it is, it is still a little difficult to work in government agencies. A single party membership has stuck a lot of people. The party members of this era are not as numerous as those of later generations.

To be a policeman, in terms of income alone, Li Lu dared to say, just pull a few people on the street and ask, the meat factory and the public security bureau, choose one, nine out of ten people will choose to open a meat factory of more than 50 yuan a month, and the rest may really want to be a policeman.

In these years, those who have some ability want to drill into enterprises and institutions, especially state-owned factories.

How much is the salary of a civil servant, more than 30 yuan. In an era when 10 yuan was a huge amount of money for farmers and some urban residents, getting an extra 20 yuan a month meant that the quality of life had risen to a higher level.

And often in arrears!

Can people in the twenty-first century imagine civil servants being owed salaries!

At this time, the wages of workers were the highest, there were not enough lawyers and doctors, intellectuals had not completely gotten rid of the position of stinky Lao Jiu, and civil servants could not hold their heads up in front of workers.

What is called a proletarian revolution.

Moreover, what is the current environment, reform and opening up to invigorate the economy! The eyes of a billion people have turned from this time to one direction - to make money.

When the vitality of a country with a population of one billion people is aroused, the power of the explosion is terrifying.

In Li Lu's case, it can basically be said that as long as he is willing, the Lugang Public Security Bureau is very willing to accept such a combat hero to become a public security officer.

Not only the Public Security Bureau, but also Li Lu's identity, including the city government organs, he can choose at will.

Liang Hongbing is also selling favors, if he can't see Li Lu's potential, then he will really be a soldier for more than ten years. Li Lu's exploits are his thickest political capital, and if it is a army, it is very possible to step into the ranks of generals at the age of forty.

Now to have a good relationship, no matter how you look at it, there is only good and no harm.

But he didn't know that Li Lu already had a detailed plan in his heart for what path to take in the future.

Li Lu said, "I'm not interested in carrying a gun and wearing a uniform anymore. ”

Saying that, he showed a smile of vicissitudes, raised his glass and touched Liang Hongbing, raised his neck and dried the cup, his nostrils spewed out heavy wine, and he filled himself again, saying, "At the end of 78, I gathered at the border with my troops and engaged in pre-war training for three months. On January 17, 79, as soon as the guns rang out, it was two years. In the past two years, my company has been disabled seven times, and my comrades-in-arms have changed one after another. I survived. In those two years, I fought all the battles I should have fought in my life, and I killed all the people who should be killed, which is enough. ”

In his past and present life, Li Lu sighed in his heart in this regard, he became a major general at the age of thirty-eight, and he was also killed with a real knife and a real gun, a rare intelligence general from the special forces!

Liang Hongbing couldn't understand Li Lu's mood, but he could clearly see the ease in Li Lu's eyes. It is the freedom and indifference that has occurred after too much life and death. Perhaps for other veterans, it is super attractive to work in the public security system, but for Li Lu, I am afraid it is the opposite.

Li Lu's choice to retire from the army and come back is already very revealing.

"Brother, it's okay, what unit do you want to enter, give my brother a squeak, I'll help you when I go out!" Liang Hongbing waved his hand and said forcefully, he may have been infected, not why, just rushed at the young man in front of him to stay on the front line for two years!

Li Lu clinked glasses with Liang Hongbing, and spit out a few words with the smell of wine: "As a worker, live an ordinary life, regardless of the salary or position, I am satisfied with a stable job." ”

"How about the Bright Tractor Factory!" Liang Hongbing was arrogant.

As soon as these words came out, Li Lu was stunned for a moment.

Guangming Tractor Factory is the country's top tractor manufacturer, is the production of tanks under the first tank factory under the dry port branch, code 9527 factory, is the number one military factory in the dry port, even in the province, are famous factories.

It is said that it will be transferred to the local government and become a provincial enterprise.

Li Lu looked at Liang Hongbing in surprise, and his first reaction was, why did Liang Hongbing sell himself such a big favor?

If Liang Hongbing's suggestion before was a little bit of a boat push or even a little pit, then this time it was a real favor. Is it so easy for a new worker's salary to go to a tractor factory of 100 yuan?

Seeing Li Lu's doubts, Liang Hongbing laughed, "This matter is on me, drink!" ”

"!"
