Perhaps Ding Qiunan's prayers had an effect, and in mid-February of '78, the postman delivered an admission letter from the Capital Medical College. (The former medical department of Peking University became independent as Capital Medical College in the second year after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and was later renamed Capital Medical University, and returned to Peking University in 2000)

On the day he received the admission letter, Li Ping'an held a banquet, set up three tables in the cheap square, and invited many relatives and friends to attend Ding Qiunan's college banquet.

It's quite awkward to say, everyone is a parent who holds a college banquet for their children, and Li Ping'an is here to hold a college banquet for his daughter-in-law, how awkward do you think.

As the introducer of the two, Chen Youfu is bound to be there, sitting on the cold bench for more than a year, Chen Youfu also wants to open, I think it's pretty good now, although I have no power in the factory, but I have more free time, my salary is still paid, I read in the factory every day, and the days of reading the newspaper are also very good.

When Li Ping'an and Ding Qiunan came to toast, Chen Youfu picked up the wine glass and looked at the two of them and said with emotion: "Ping'an, you are really a gentleman, the promise before marriage, more than ten years later, the children have given birth to two, you can still fulfill it, not bad, it's not in vain that I went to Sanhe to be your matchmaker."

"That is, I really want to thank you for this, if you hadn't been a matchmaker at the beginning, I would have been in Sijiu City, Qiu Nan was in Xianghe, and the two of us couldn't fight together" When I mentioned the past more than ten years ago, Li Ping'an was really a little emotional.

Ding Qiunan also recalled the first time he met Li Ping'an, so many years have passed, Ding Qiunan feels that he has married the right person, and his eyes look at Li Ping'an even more loving.

In the evening, this banquet was very lively, Li Ping'an's wine glass never stopped, either this one to drink to himself, or the one to clink glasses with himself, that is, there is a plug-in, otherwise the first round will come down, and people will lie on the ground unconscious.

The start of school is March 1st, there is no time to prepare, and there is no need to prepare, the school is at the door of the bicycle ride is more than 20 minutes, Mr. Wang also knows acquaintances in the Capital Medical College, and then it is good to go to school directly, go to class during the day, go home and sleep at night, easier than commuting.

On the day of the start of school, Li Ping'an drove a car from the unit, and the whole family, big and small, went into battle together, holding the child and sending Ding Qiunan to school.

In the first year of the resumption of the college entrance examination, the age of the enrolled students is generally older, many of them are in their thirties, and there are really not many real fresh students.

It is said that the girl's grades this year are also good, and she was admitted to the Capital Agricultural University, which is also a key university, so the stupid pillar set up two banquets in the courtyard to celebrate the girl's admission to the university.

After the registration process was completed, I took Ding Qiunan to meet Mr. Wang's acquaintance, and chatted briefly for a while, when Li Ping'an proposed to give Ding Qiunan a day school, the other party happily agreed.

After everything was done, Li Ping'an and Yi Zhonghai didn't stay in the courtyard for long, just send people over, they still have a class meeting or something today, the campus environment has already been seen, and it is not interesting to stay in the school longer.

From today on, Ding Qiunan has lived the college life of his dreams, and Li Ping'an has been working honestly, and neither of them has time to take care of the children, so they can only hand over the children to the care of an aunt as before.

For the matter of taking the child, the aunt did not complain at all, but enjoyed it, holding the child everywhere in the courtyard every day.

With the news of Xiaogang Village's division of fields and self-responsibility for profits and losses spread at the end of the year, the whole country was shaken, and Xiaogang Village took the lead in opening the curtain of internal reform.

The reaction of the upper echelons was very fast, and after more than a month of heated discussions, the implementation of the policy of reform and opening up was officially announced, and the domestic economy really ushered in a take-off.

Not long after the first New Year after the reform and opening up, an aunt's heart suddenly stopped beating late at night, and she walked very peacefully, without a trace of pain, and finished her life in her sleep.

Li Ping'an and Ding Qiunan only got the news the next morning, when they heard the news sent by the stupid pillar, the rice bowl in their hands fell off their hands on the spot, after so many years of getting along, Li Ping'an had already regarded an aunt as his real relative, and in the face of the sudden death of an aunt, he couldn't accept it for a while.

Now that there is reform and opening up, there are not so many restrictions, an aunt has no son, Li Ping'an and Lele put on filial piety clothes and knelt in the mourning hall to guard filial piety for an aunt.

The funeral was very beautiful, with Li Ping'an's face, and many people came and went to see off the aunt.

After the first aunt entered the earth, Li Ping'an thought about taking Yi Zhonghai from the courtyard to live with him, but Yi Zhonghai was unwilling to leave the house where he had lived all his life, and Li Ping'an, who had no choice, sent Lele over to live with Yi Zhonghai for a period of time in order to prevent Yi Zhonghai from being so lonely.

With the passage of time, there have been foreign businessmen on the streets of Sijiu City, and on this day, Li Ping'an and Ding Qiunan, who had just finished school, took their two children to eat in Donglaishun, and met Lou Xiao'e who came back from Xiangjiang.

The accidental reunion of the two sides who have not seen each other for many years is naturally to have a good chat, and the two sides sat together and talked about the situation of both sides over the years.

"Speaking of which, I want to thank you, if you hadn't notified us in advance to let my family leave Sijiu City, maybe our family might have been doing all these years" Lou Xiao'e was very grateful when she remembered what happened back then, and thanked Li Ping'an seriously.

Hearing Lou Xiao'e say this, Ding Qiunan was very puzzled, she only knew that Lou Xiao'e's family had escaped in advance, and she didn't know that it was Li Ping'an who revealed the news to her family, but in front of Lou Xiao'e, Ding Qiunan didn't ask in detail.

Li Ping'an waved his hand: "At that time, we were still neighbors, Sister Xiao'e, you are a good person, I can't see death without help, this was how many years ago, don't mention it again, tell me about your recent situation over the years"

When the Lou family ran away in advance, the family's property did not suffer any loss, with a large amount of gold to Xiangjiang, with the help of overseas relatives, soon gained a firm foothold in Xiangjiang, these years Xiangjiang has developed rapidly, not to mention other industries, the Lou family bought in Xiangjiang The real estate is now worth a lot of money.

Lou Xiao'e is the same as the original play, marrying a Xiangjiang businessman in Xiangjiang, but this time Lou Xiao'e did not have such a period with Silly Zhu, this marriage is still very successful, she has two children with the businessman, and the power of her mother's family is not small, even if the relationship between the husband and wife of the two parties is broken, under the involvement of interests and children, the two parties have not divorced from the original play.

Knowing that Lou Xiao'e just came to the mainland to inspect first, Li Ping'an quickly moved his mind and wanted to sell the goods purchased from Xiaotian for zero yuan through Lou Xiao'e in Xiangjiang.

Although I have also been in contact with many Xiangjiang businessmen during this time, after all, I don't know the details of the other party, so I don't dare to hand over the goods in my hand to the other party.

Lou Xiao'e is different, not to mention that Li Ping'an has a great favor to the Lou family, even Lou Xiao'e's character Li Ping'an also believes it, and does not believe that the Lou family will ignore this batch of materials.

After dinner, Li Ping'an called Lou Xiao'e out and found an excuse to talk about the fact that he had a batch of household appliances produced in small days, but as for the car, Li Ping'an didn't say it, that thing was not easy to sell. Li Ping'an is going to erase the number of the engine and use it as a smuggling vehicle in the coastal areas of China, which will be safer, and even if there is an accident, he will not be able to find his head.

Hearing what Li Ping'an said, although Lou Xiao'e was surprised how this batch of materials came from, she didn't ask, but agreed to promise to sell all the materials.

Li Ping'an is naturally not a person who makes people work in vain, this batch of goods was produced in 77 years, and it is still the mainstream sought-after goods in the market, after learning about the price of these Nissan household appliances on the market in Xiangjiang, Li Ping'an directly sold it to Lou Xiao'e at fifty percent of the selling price.

Lou Xiao'e didn't sell it directly in Xiangjiang after she got the goods, this thing didn't come from formal channels in the end, Lou Xiao'e was also afraid of getting into trouble directly shipping in Xiangjiang, but found some smugglers, added 10% to the price of Li Ping'an's goods, and directly dumped the goods to them.

This batch of goods is very sought-after in the market, even if Lou Xiao'e increases the price by one percent, it is lower than buying directly from a young day, and the smugglers directly ate all the goods in Lou Xiao'e's hands, a small number of them were sold in Xiangjiang, and most of them were shipped to Southeast Asia.

In just half a year, Li Ping'an bought more than 200 Hong Kong dollars from Xiaotian except for more than 200 cars, all of which were sold through Lou Xiao'e, earning more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars for Li Ping'an, and at Li Ping'an's request, Lou Xiao'e converted the more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars into 20 million US dollars, which were stored in Li Ping'an's account in Xiangjiang.

When it was confirmed that the money had arrived, Li Ping'an was completely relieved, more than 20 million US dollars was not a small amount in this year, and how much was the domestic foreign exchange reserve? In the face of such a large sum of money, Li Ping'an was also afraid that the Lou family would have something that he should not have.

With money in his hand, he is not panicked, Li Ping'an doesn't care about the hustle and bustle outside, he honestly works in the unit every day, and now it is not a good time to go to the sea outside, with the return of educated youth to the city since the beginning of the previous year and cannot get a job placement, now the social security is very chaotic, there are people blocking the road and robbing in the remote alleys in broad daylight, and it will become normal to directly stop the train and rob in two years, Li Ping'an will not take this risk.

In just two years of reform and opening up, there have already been signs of rising prices, and the inflation rate in the past two years has exceeded 5 percent, and the wages that used to be able to support the whole family and still have a surplus have obviously shown signs of not enough to spend, so the people in the courtyard began to sit still.

With the opening of the first individual restaurant in Sijiu City, Xu Damao took the lead in losing the identity of the board master, and used the money secretly earned in the black market over the years to give some gifts to the industrial and commercial people.

Compared with other individual restaurants that only have ducks that don't need tickets, the dishes in Xu Damao's restaurant are much more sumptuous, in the end, they have been in the black market for so many years, and there are all kinds of chicken, duck and fish, but the duck is not limited, and other meat dishes can only be ordered at one table.

Xu Damao's restaurant made a name for itself as soon as it opened, although the taste is average, not as good as the taste of the state-run hotel, but it is better than the thoughtful service, who comes to greet with a smile, and there is no such domineering attitude as the state-run hotel, so every day when the meal arrives, there are many people queuing up at the door of the hotel.

Because Xu Damao's restaurant is large and has a wide range of dishes, in just one month, after cutting out various expenses, the net profit is a small 2,000 yuan.

Xu Damao, who has money, naturally wants to show off, after all, after being ridiculed for so many years, he suddenly turned over, how can he walk at night in brocade? So Xu Damao invited everyone in the hospital to eat for free in his restaurant, and even Li Ping'an and Ding Qiunan were invited.

The time was noon on the weekend, and early in the morning, Li Ping'an dragged his family to the courtyard to gather with the people in the courtyard, preparing to go to Xu Damao's restaurant to have a look.

Silly Zhu looked at the people gathered in the courtyard to discuss going to dinner, and couldn't help but let out a cold snort: "Hmph, what's so beautiful, just the craftsmanship in Xu Damao's restaurant, how can there be a good one?" I don't know where to find a bad cook, so I might as well make it at home."

The people in the courtyard know the situation of Silly Zhu and Xu Damao, and they should not hear Silly Zhu's cynicism, after all, the free food is not in vain.

Just when Li Ping'an was about to talk to Silly Zhu, Yu Li followed Yan Jiecheng and came over: "That Director Li, will you be free here?" I want to talk to you about something."

Yes, Li Ping'an has been promoted, and now he is a division-level cadre of the Material Bureau, and now that the cadres have not yet begun to be younger, a thirty-five-year-old director is already very remarkable, if he does not go to the sea, he will be a star of the future ministries and commissions.

"Yu Li, how many years have we worked together, if you have anything to say, you will definitely help me."

Seeing the embarrassment on Yu Li's face, Li Ping'an could probably guess what the other party was planning to do, Yu Li was a very ambitious and decisive woman, seeing that Xu Damao had opened a restaurant and made money, she must also want to go to the sea to open a restaurant, and came to borrow money from herself.

Sure enough, the next words and Li Ping'an's guess were correct, Yu Li just wanted to borrow money from Li Ping'an to open a restaurant, after listening to Yu Li's story, Li Ping'an nodded and agreed to borrow without the slightest hesitation.

Li Ping'an is also thinking about whether to open a few restaurants in the name of Ding Qiunan, Li Ping'an will naturally not make a small fuss, and the land must be bought before opening the restaurant. (End of chapter)
