On the third day of the first lunar month, the relatives who should leave are all gone, and Li Yange is finally relaxed, these days his brain is chaotic, no matter who he goes to, in the envious eyes of relatives and friends, he is forced to talk about what he has seen and heard abroad, and he has to be praised for a while.

"Shao-kun, why are you here?"

"Aunt Li, this is what my mother asked me to bring to you."

"Hey, just come, why do you still bring things, they are all from the neighborhood, which makes you see a lot of things."

In the room, Li Yange was tidying up things, suddenly heard a conversation outside, got up quickly and walked out, and saw Cheng Shaojun carrying a bag in his hand at the gate of the courtyard.

"There is nothing either, just a few bottles of canned fruit and pastries, all of which are distributed in the group, and my mother and I don't eat sweet, so I thought about giving it to Grandpa Li to taste." While speaking, Cheng Shaojun caught a glimpse of Li Yange standing at the door of the room, and subconsciously showed a shallow smile.

"Yan Ge, why are you still standing there? Go to those two boxes of snacks in the house. Dong Qiuhua noticed Cheng Shaojun's eyes, looked back, saw his son standing there, and pointed to the living room.

"Good!" Li Yange turned around and ran to the living room.

Cheng Shaojun guessed that Dong Qiuhua wanted to return the gift, so he hurriedly shook his head and said, "No need Aunt Li, Yan Ge has already sent two boxes last time." ”

Dong Qiuhua was stunned, looked back at his son who had just entered the door in astonishment, and wondered when this kid took it, and said: "Then how can it be done, Yan Ge gave it to him, and I gave it to me, take it to your mother to taste." ”

When Cheng Shaojun was thinking about refusing, Li Yange had already picked out two boxes of biscuits and brought them over, "Sister Shaojun, here you are." ”

"I really don't need Aunt Li, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."

Seeing this, Cheng Shaojun hurriedly handed the bag in his hand to Dong Qiuhua, and then turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

Seeing her run away, Dong Qiuhua looked at the gift in his hand, "This kid won't come into the house to have a cup of tea." ”

"Mom, then I'll send the things over."

"Okay, then you send things over, people can't miss the number of courtesies when they come to pay New Year's greetings."

Hearing this, Li Yange strode up with biscuits, and when he left the courtyard gate, he saw that Cheng Shaojun was still walking towards the door of the house, he quickened his pace and stepped forward and said, "Sister Shaojun!" ”

Cheng Shaojun glanced back, "Yan Ge, I really don't need anything, you take it back to Aunt Li, I don't eat much sweet things with my mother." ”

"That's not good, this is the task my mother gave me, and I must send it to you."

Li Yange looked at her dress as she spoke, she didn't wear the coat and leather shoes she bought for her, and she didn't wear a necklace and silk scarf around her neck, and frowned: "Sister Shaojun, don't you like the gift I gave you last time?" ”

Cheng Shaojun was stunned, "Huh? No, I like it. ”

"Why don't you wear it if you like it?"

"You don't have to wear it if you like it."

"Then you still don't like it?"

"I really like it."

"If you like it, wear it!"

The conversation between the two made Cheng Shaojun feel a little funny, "I still have to help the family these days, what if such good clothes get dirty?" ”

"If it's dirty, buy it again." Li Yange shrugged, stared at her and said, "Sister Shaojun, I like you to wear that coat." ”

Seeing him say with a serious face, Cheng Shaojun smiled helplessly and said, "Listen to you well, I'll wear it tomorrow." ”

"That's right, wear it if you like."

The two chatted while entering the door of Cheng's courtyard.

The courtyard door was open and empty.

Li Yange looked left and right and asked, "What about Aunt Cheng?" ”

"My mom went to my cousin's house, and the road was a bit far, and I didn't really want to run."

After speaking, Cheng Shaojun beckoned Li Yange into the house, made a cup of hot tea and put it on the table.

Taking the teacup and blowing the steaming tea, Li Yange took a sip, remembered something, and asked, "Sister Shaojun, you wrote in your letter last year that the art troupe may be disbanded?" How about now? ”

"I don't know." mentioned the dissolution of the troupe, Cheng Shaojun sighed and said: "It was also reported in October last year, saying that the expenses of the art troupe are relatively large, and the people above may consider disbanding some people." ”

In the 50s, almost every state-owned enterprise factory in Rongcheng had its own organization similar to a art troupe, which was specially organized during the New Year's festival and performed for individual workers.

Later, in the early 80s, in order to organize production more effectively, major factories organized a group of literature and art lovers to form the Rongcheng Trade Union Art Troupe.

After Li Yange heard this, she immediately said happily: "Sister Shaojun, I think you might as well resign and go to Beijing with me, the development prospects over there are better." ”

"Going to Beijing?" Cheng Shaojun hesitated for a few seconds, shook his head and said, "Forget it, the disbandment has not yet been seen, I did a good job in the group." ”

"Remember what I told you about the Twelve Women's Bands in my letter?"

"You mean an orchestra of twelve?" Cheng Shaojun thought for a while.

"Yes, they're going to perform at the Tianqiao Theater in Beijing in the middle of this month."

"Success?" Cheng Shaojun was a little surprised, Li Yange mentioned in the letter that some students from their school had formed a "Twelve Girls Orchestra", but for some reason, they had never had the opportunity to perform on stage.

Li Yange nodded and said: "Yes, they have only been together for a few months before they have the opportunity to perform, Sister Shaojun, you have practiced dance for so many years, you will definitely have a chance when you go to Beijing." ”

Hearing this, Cheng Shaojun was a little moved, every literary and artistic worker has a dream of yearning for a bigger stage, and she is naturally no exception. If I can have the opportunity to perform on the stage in Beijing and let the people in the dance team know about it, I am afraid that everyone who has gone crazy will want to go.

But then he remembered that if he went to Beijing, then his mother would be left alone in Rongcheng, Cheng Shaojun shook his head and said, "Forget about Yan Ge." ”

Originally, she was a little moved, Li Yange thought she could succeed, but she didn't expect to refuse, frowning, thinking about it carefully, he also understood why she refused.

Cheng Shaojun grew up with her mother since she was a child, if she went to Beijing, then Cheng's mother would be left alone in Rongcheng, how lonely it would be.

Seeing that this matter didn't make sense, Li Yange changed the topic and began to talk about some interesting things about himself in Beijing, and talked about what he saw and heard when he went to Rome and Yuben.

"Is it really developing so well?" Cheng Shaojun tilted his head, a little bit unconvinced by what Li Yange said about the prosperity of this book, although there are many Japanese companies in China at present, such as Sharp, Toshiba, Hitachi These electrical appliance brands can almost be said to be household names. But for ordinary people who don't understand the international situation, no one believes that you tell them that it is the country with the best economy in the world except for the United States.

Thanks to the slogan shouted in the early years, "Super Britain catches up with the United States", so that people who are illiterate know that the world's powerful countries are Britain and the United States.

"Well, the development is very good now, but it's just an illusory prosperity."

Li Yange stayed in Yumoto for a few days, except for Fujiwara Yuki, maybe because he wanted to sign himself, and Miyuki Nakajima wanted his own song. The rest of the people I met, although I couldn't understand what the other party said, but judging from my walking posture and mental outlook, I swept away the identity of the citizens of the defeated countries in World War II, and I didn't dare to say that the two hundred and fifty or eighty thousand people were dragged by each other, but they were all arrogant when they walked.

There is a kind of pride in holding up the identity of the countryman.

From this point of view, Li Yange somewhat believed in the words that were circulated in later generations, "Selling Tokyo is enough to buy half of the United States." ”

It is only the beginning of 1987, and the economy has not yet surpassed that of Souville, and it has begun to swell, and it is not difficult to see that a few years later, when the economy of Souville surpassed Souvel and officially topped the second place in the world's GDP, it would say such arrogant words.

"Then ......" Cheng Shaojun hesitated for a long time before asking, "How about Wanwan?" ”

"Bend, it's good, one of the four Asian tigers." Li Yange glanced at her, and naturally knew that what Cheng Shaojun wanted to ask was not this. But he knew that in his previous life, with Cheng Shaojun's bad news, after Cheng's mother collapsed, he became ill within two years, and he left after he couldn't afford to be sick.

It is said that it seems that there was indeed a Taiwanese compatriot who came to Chengdu to visit relatives in Chengdu with great fanfare, and later returned to Wanwan without finding relatives.

As for whether it is Cheng's father, this Li Yange is really unclear.

There are many elders in Rongcheng who followed a certain party to a certain party in their early years, and after the two sides of the strait were connected in the 80s and 90s, there were not a few Taiwan compatriots who returned to their hometowns to visit their relatives.
