What was China like in 1978?

Bao'an, which is only across the river from Hong Kong Island, has a large number of people fleeing to the other side every year.

Most of them failed, and the successful part was built on the other side of the river with a Luofang village, and on the mainland, there was also a Luofang village.

The per capita annual income of those who escaped in the first year was 18,000 Hong Kong dollars.

The annual per capita income of Luofang Village on the mainland side is 134 yuan.

The people in the city are fairly neat and clean, but in the countryside, one can rarely see a peasant wearing clothes without patches.

Due to chronic hunger, people's faces are dull and yellow.

The word poverty is vividly displayed.

When the children on Hong Kong Island take one-tenth of their father's daily salary and go to Ocean World Park to have a good time, the vast majority of mainland children can't eat enough even if they eat their nests.

The problem of hunger will not be basically solved until 10 years after the reform.

It was not until 1993 that food stamps began to be withdrawn from the stage of history.

And the cancellation of food stamps really means that the people can go far away......

In the past seven or eight years in China, the vast majority of Chinese people have never left their birthplace 30 miles away.

Li Zhiguo has grown up on Hong Kong Island since he became sensible, and he has caught up with the golden age of Hong Kong Island's development, the people's wages are getting higher and higher year by year, and the number of high-rise buildings is increasing year by year, and even at night, Hong Kong Island is a city that never sleeps.

But after boarding the northbound train, what he saw and heard along the way really surprised him a lot.

Li Yuan did not rush to take him on the road, but kept getting off the bus along the way to observe the differences in society and culture.

Li Zhiguo, who was about to be nine years old, really got to know China for the first time.

It wasn't until December 25 that the father and son finally arrived at the Beijing station.

As soon as I got off the train, I saw a group of young people in their twenties and thirties wearing yellowed military uniforms at the train station, crying, laughing, shouting, and scolding hysterically......

Educated youth, the big return to the city.

"Son!!"

A voice woke up the father and son who were watching the young people returning to the city to vent wantonly.

"Mom!!"

Li Zhiguo, who was already one meter four or five, squeezed through the crowd and rushed to the short-haired woman with ears on the platform wearing a light gray coat, dark blue pants, and square scalp shoes.

Li Yuan stepped forward with a smile and a backpack, his eyes full of tenderness looking at the woman of this typical era of female cadres.

I haven't seen her for two years, and there have been many vicissitudes, but her eyes are still so bright, and her gaze is still so kind and bright.

Looking at this woman, Li Yuan felt that in front of real liking, youth and beauty were actually not so important.

Looking at her, I just like it.

And Qin Daxue picked up his son and spun around, his joy was beyond words!

"Hmm...... Uh-huh! ”

It wasn't until someone reminded him that Qin Daxue glanced at him, and then lowered his head and asked Li Zhiguo: "Son, are you used to it on the road?" Why did you go back on the 22nd after walking for so many days? ”

Li Zhiguo was much more lively, and said: "Mom, Dad took me to many places. There are Yueyanglou, Chibi, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei's hometown Zhuozhou, as well as Jianghan and Shangdu ......"

Qin Daxue glanced at Li Yuan, who was smiling, and said, "It's pretty much the same!" Let's go, go home! ”

"Uncle Genzi?"

The family of three was just about to leave when they heard a somewhat uncertain voice coming from behind them.

Li Yuan looked back and saw a young man with curly hair standing there looking at him.

After the curly-haired man saw Li Yuan clearly, he was pleasantly surprised: "Uncle Yuanzi, it's really you!" I'm a terrier! ”

Li Yuan laughed and said, "Stick terrier? Good boy, it's really you! Are you back in town? ”

The stick terrier nodded again and again: "I'm back!" Uncle Yuanzi, I didn't expect to meet you here! ”

Li Yuan smiled: "It's a coincidence. Terrier, go home and see your grandma and your mother, they're going to be blind for what you think. Last time, someone scared them, saying that some educated youths died outside, and the steward pretended to write a letter to the family by pretending to be their names, and your grandmother was about to die of fright. I said, no, I've seen the terrier, okay. Don't tell me you missed it. ”

The stick terrier said gratefully: "Uncle Yuanzi, I know, thank you!" Then I'll go home first! ”

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Go quickly." ”

The stick terrier looked at Qin Daxue and Li Zhiguo again, nodded, and then turned around and ran.

Qin Daxue smiled: "Sister Huairu's son? ”

Li Yuan said "um" and said, "When I first went to the courtyard, I was only a few years old, and in a blink of an eye, I was twenty-six or seventeen. Let's go, go home, go home! ”

……

"Mom! We're back! Govern the country, call grandma! ”

Qinjiazhuang, at the gate of the Li family's courtyard, Qin Daxue saw an old lady on crutches standing there with a headscarf and greeted loudly.

Although Li Zhiguo was unfamiliar, he still shouted loudly: "Grandma! ”

Mother Li hurriedly took two steps forward on crutches and shouted, "Governing the country? Is the small rule back? Boss, ......"

Qin Daxue whispered to Li Yuan: "Damn's eyes suddenly disappeared last year...... I took her to the hospital for a check-up, and said it was a cataract, but now there is no cure. ”

Li Yuan was startled when he heard this, stepped forward in a few steps, hugged the old lady and said, "Mom, I'm back." ”

Looking at the old lady who was trying to open her eyes to see him, her throat was a little blocked.

Mother Li threw away her crutches, touched his face with her dry hands, and said happily: "It's really the old man who is back!" Bringing the rule back? Okay, okay. Boss, I almost thought I wouldn't see you...... I dreamed of you yesterday, and I was arguing with me to eat eggs, and there were only sweet potatoes at home, which made me sad...... Are you hungry? ”

"Not hungry, Mom, not hungry."

Li Yuan wiped his eyes, looked at his mother's eyes carefully, and then slowly sighed and said, "Old lady, don't worry, I can cure your disease!" You forget, you're a doctor, and you're a miracle doctor! ”

Qin Daxue said happily: "Really? ”

Li Yuan patted his chest and said, "Ten minutes' business!" Let's go, old lady, go home and go home, and I'll let you see what it looks like to govern the country tonight! ”

A large number of Li family members, including Li Gui, Li Chi, and Li Jiang, who poured out of the courtyard gate, were all greatly surprised when they heard this.

Li Gui looked at his youngest son carefully, and saw that this Wang Balamb was not a little old, and said, "Can it really be cured?" ”

Li Yuan sighed and said, "Can I still tell lies with my wife?" ”

Qin Daxue hugged his son and asked him to call people one by one.

For a while, there was a feeling of joy and joy, and it was extremely lively.

"Oh my God, governing the country is more beautiful than the eighth child!"

"These two are really going to give birth!!"

"Governing the country, do you remember the five aunts? When I was a child, I slept with you in my arms, so let's sleep with my aunt tonight, right? ”

"It's not your turn to go first, I'm an aunt!"

Li Yuan looked back at his son, originally thought that his son, who had a slight cleanliness habit, would be a little uncomfortable, but he didn't expect to have a smiling face.

He didn't care about the excitement behind him, and helped the old lady into the house.

After entering the house, Li Yuan began to tidy up the room, arranging for people to boil water and disinfect it.

He took out alcohol, silver needles, white sheets, and many other things from his backpack.

Qin Daxue said with a smile: "You have been preparing these in your bag? ”

Li Yuan said confidently: "Ang! The guy who eats has to take it with him at all times! ”

After sending everyone out, Li Yuan helped the old lady to lie down on the kang.

In fact, as early as the Sui and Tang dynasties, there was a clear record that the golden needle removal technique for the treatment of eye diseases!

It's just that after wars, famines, and the loss of acupuncture, to this day, the number of Chinese medicine practitioners who can master this technique is optimistically estimated to be no more than ten.

The old man's treatment of cataracts for seven or five years was treated by everyone Tang Youzhi with this technique.

It's a pity that ordinary people basically can't have this treatment......

It was indeed very fast, with Li Yuan's medical skills today, as well as his fine grasp of strength, it was useless for even ten minutes, and after Li Yuan stopped, Li's mother quickly adapted to it and saw the light again.

saw her old son clearly, and was overjoyed.

After Li Yuan helped the old lady out, the whole family burst into warm applause!

Li He stepped forward with a swaddling baby in his arms and said with a smile: "Milk, eighth uncle, this is my son, Zhao Qiang." ”

Li Yuan said happily: "Xiaohe has given birth!" After looking at the child, he turned back to Zhiguo and said, "You are an uncle." ”

Zhiguo's eyes widened, and everyone burst into laughter.

After sitting down and starting to speak, after carefully observing his wife, Li Gui, who was sure to be able to see it, asked, "How is the younger brother and sister who govern the country?" ”

Li Yuan took out the photo and said: "This is Lao Ba Anbang, this is Xiao Jiu Luoxi, two years old, they are all very cute." ”

Everyone looked at the photos, and Zhiguo raised his head and said to Qin Daxue: "My younger brothers and sisters think that their mother is a big mother, I want to tell them, but the eldest brother said, wait until they grow up." ”

Qin Daxue nodded and said, "Yes, let's talk about it later." We all owe Big Mom, she's a good person. ”

Li Zhiguo nodded emphatically.

Li Chi asked Li Yuandao: "Are the rice balls eighteen?" ”

Li Yuan smiled: "Isn't it, girlfriends have been talking for fifteen years." ”

Li Zhiguo laughed, and everyone laughed together.

Qin Daxue said to Li Yuan: "After the meeting, the general direction of opening up to the outside world and internal reform has been determined. Next year, the whole family will come back for the New Year. ”

Li Yuan said with a smile: "The temperament of this big leader...... Progress again, right? ”

Qin Daxue glanced at him, and Li Jiang joked happily: "Boss, don't think that you are great if you are rich, now Daxue is a deputy municipal cadre, much more endurable than you!" ”

This is a deputy city-level cadre at the sub-municipal level in Sijiu City.

Li Yuan slapped the table angrily and said, "No matter how powerful you are, isn't it my daughter-in-law?" ”

"Hahaha!"

The family laughed, and Qin Daxue also laughed and scolded: "Virtue! ”

A few sisters-in-law were going to prepare meals, but they held down Qin Daxue and didn't let them move, and the sister-in-law said: "Today, I either respect you as an official, or I feel sorry for you just met your son, so talk well." Look, the hand of governing the country has never let go of you! ”

Li Yuan faked and said: "Sister-in-law, do you want me to do it?" ”

The eldest sister-in-law stepped forward and dragged someone: "Let's go, just wait for you to speak!" ”

Mother Li was reluctant: "He just came back!" ”

The eldest sister-in-law laughed and said: "Look, look, it's the youngest son, this is the root of life!" ”

Mother Li didn't admit it, and said, "I just came back!" I'll do it next time...... Come back next week. ”

The eldest sister-in-law said angrily: "Old lady, why don't you let us come again for the New Year!" He laughed and pressed Li Yuan back on the kang and said, "I don't need you, let's accompany my mother well." Everything is ready, and it will be cooked in one pot. When the children come back on Sunday, you can show off your skills again! ”

Qin Daxue said to Li Yuan: "Three Tsinghua University, two Peking University, and one Renmin University. ”

Li Yuan nodded, then reacted and said, "No, nineteen, twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three, shouldn't it be five?" ”

Li Xing is twenty-four, eighteen this year, and the next twenty-five is only sixteen this year, so it's not time to come.

Qin Daxue said with a smile: "Li Lian applied for Renmin University in the Northeast, and she was even admitted!" ”

Li Yuanqi said: "It's so decent, why does she want to go back to college?" ”

Qin Daxue snorted and said, "After Li Kun and Li Cheng were transferred to the Shengli Oilfield, something began to be wrong with her mother-in-law's side, and she wanted our family to help the relationship over there and promote it." Xiaolian was unwilling, and the words over there became more and more difficult to hear. Our girl's temper is not swallowed, and after a few troubles, she couldn't live her life, so she simply left. Alone with the child, while working and reviewing, others are angry, and he comes back with the exam. Except for saying that I don't have the face to see you, everything else is fine. ”

Li Yuan's face darkened and said, "What did Li Kun say?" Isn't that a good friend of his? And the fourth, how can these two dog things promise me! ”

Qin Daxue said: "Okay, don't go through the old accounts." The eldest brother almost didn't scold Li Kun to death, if I hadn't stopped him, Kun'er would have been in his thirties...... However, Li Kun still found someone over there and taught the family a lesson. The relationship between the Li family is not needed over there. Li Cheng also did something behind him, and now the whole family has been transferred to Xijiang Ke City. The kids are older, let them handle it themselves. Li Lian is afraid of you like this. ”

Li Yuan's eyes swept over, and when he saw the eighteenth Li Yuan shrinking back, he nodded slowly, and said, "In the past two years, a lot of things have really happened. ”

Mother Li didn't care about anything else, so she looked at Li Yuan and said, "Boss, how many days are you staying at home this time?" ”

Li Yuan said with a smile: "Stay a few more days and see if you can adapt to the country." They were worried that he wouldn't be able to adapt when he came, so they asked me to bring it back. I'm afraid that his mother is too busy, and he will be busier and busier in the future, and he will not be able to take care of him. ”

Li Mei hurriedly said: "Eighth uncle, govern the country and live in our house." Our home is close to Yuying Primary School, and it is very convenient for me to pick him up every day. You can't trust me, do you? ”

Li Yuan smiled: "Of course you can't believe it, you still spoil him?" At the age of nine, you can just push a stroller and push him! ”

Li Mei stomped her feet angrily and said, "It's okay if you don't pick it up, you can always take care of laundry and cooking!" ”

Without waiting for Li Yuan to speak, Li Zhiguo shook his head and said, "I want to live with my mother." Mom isn't at home, I can be at home by myself. I can cook, do laundry, and do housework. ”

Qin Daxue smiled at Li Mei and the others: "Let him try first." Anyway, living in a family building, there is not much safety problem. If you want to eat, you can eat in the canteen of the compound, and I will pay him living expenses. ”

Li Yuan said with a smile: "I thought you would be high-spirited and bright, and you wouldn't live in the compound." ”

Qin Daxue said angrily: "Now you have to cooperate with the safety work, you think it's still the same as before." ”

When she goes out at her current level, she can already have a security guard, although not full-time.

Li Yuan gave two thumbs up: "Cow!" ”

After the whole family talked and laughed, the big fish and meat had a dinner, and they all said goodbye early.

Husbands and wives only reunite once in two years, and the Cowherd and Weaver Girl have another time a year.

Even Zhiguo is very sensible and said that he wants to sleep with his grandparents at night.

When the two of them entered the earthen house where they got married in the east, and after closing the door, they didn't even pull the light, Li Yuan picked up Qin Daxue and kissed him hard.

It wasn't until Qin Daxue snorted that he let go, looking at Qin Daxue who was panting, Li Yuan smiled.

Qin Daxue crossed her legs around her waist, stretched out her hand and patted him, and said ashamedly and angrily: "Do you want to suffocate me?" Looking at the man who was staring at her in the dark with affection in his eyes, he said softly: "I'm starting to get old, do you still like it?" You look like you're in your twenties......"

Li Yuan replied with his mouth......

An hour later......

Li Yuan hugged Qin Daxue in his arms, lay on the warm kang, and asked, "Have you returned to your soul?" Now you know if I like it or not? ”

Qin Daxue really didn't even have the strength to raise his hand to hit someone, and after opening his mouth and biting his mouth, he asked, "After I left, did you think about me?" ”

Li Yuan was silent for a while, and then said, "Shall I sing you a little song?" Written to you. ”

Qin Daxue's tired spirit was shocked, his eyes brightened, and he said, "Really? You sing! He hesitated again: "It's not the "Big Sedan Chair", right? ”

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "No, it's eighteen touches...... Ouch! ”

After being bitten, Li Yuan laughed, then cleared his throat and sang softly: "Did the clouds that day have been expected, so the steps are light, so as not to disturb our time, because it is destined to be so little." The wind, blowing the white clouds, where have you gone? When I miss you, I look up and smile, knowing if I know. I look up and smile when I miss you, you know, don't know? ”

After singing, he looked down at his wife's bright eyes in the dark, and he said softly: "Since you left, I often go for a walk on the manor plank road, go to the gazebo to sit down, look up at the bright moon on the sea, and always feel that those are your eyes." Heavy snow, I miss you so much. ”

Qin Daxue pursed her lips, looked at Li Yuan, and only replied with two words: "Come again!" ”

……

Forty minutes later, Qin Daxue couldn't even open her mouth and couldn't bite anyone.

She suddenly thought of a question: "Are you in the gazebo, looking at the moon, thinking that are my eyes?" ”

Li Yuan responded: "Ang! ”

Qin Daxue Fox said suspiciously: "But there is only one moon?" ”

Li Yuan smiled: "What's so difficult to understand? One-eyed dragon! ”

Qin Daxue chuckled and pushed him with his knee with difficulty......

Li Yuan laughed, hugged his daughter-in-law tightly, hated to turn into a conjoined baby, tired of dying, and asked, "You are now in charge of rural work, right?" ”

Qin Daxue said: "Well, the vegetable basket project shines, otherwise I wouldn't have taken this step so early." After the vegetable basket is solved, it is the meat basket. This one is more difficult, and the feed is not good. ”

Li Yuan said with a smile: "I'll ask the boss to help you contact the feed factory outside and buy back the technology." How many years are you going to be here? ”

Qin Daxue said: "I don't know, but it will take three or five years to say it, and I have to do some practical things." Rural work is not easy to do, and the vegetable basket project alone is far from enough. Fortunately, there is a fennel project that can be exported, which is a great help to me. ”

Li Yuan said with a smile: "Next, I will provide you with a list of medicinal materials, and you will find the staff of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to guide the farmers to plant according to the medicinal materials on the list." I will reap all that I plant. The better the quality, the higher the price. It is also possible to directly build a decoction piece processing plant, so as to further increase the added value of the export of medicinal materials. In addition to feed mills, the development of animal husbandry, dairy. How's that, do I have much credit? ”

Qin Daxue squinted his eyes and said, "Harboring evil intentions!" What else do you want to do? ”

Li Yuan was very honest and whispered in his ear.

Qin Daxue blushed and said angrily: "Disgusting! ”

Li Yuan laughed evilly and covered the quilt......
