"Thank you, thank you." Cai Xiujuan has also been working hard to learn English in recent years, and she occasionally says two simple words.

"I still have an idea, I don't know what you think? Your pearl farm is very good, and the quality of the pearls is good, are you interested in considering our investment? ”

Cai Xiujuan couldn't quite understand his words quite yet, only saw Jian Lu exchange a few words with people, and then sent them away.

After the others left, she asked Jian Lu, "Lulu, what did Sanmu say just now?" ”

"He said he wanted to invest in our pearl farm." Jian Lu remembered what he said just now, and the group of them not only came to play, but his business partner also talked about cooperation with a textile factory in City C.

In recent years, China has developed rapidly since the beginning of reform and opening up, and many foreigners have taken a fancy to China's economic development potential.

Hong Kong businessmen and foreign businessmen have left the market one after another, ready to get a piece of the pie.

"Huh? He wants to invest in us? Divide the shares? Cai Xiujuan was a little moved when she heard this, but she couldn't get the idea.

"I said I wanted to take 10% of the shares."

"What do you think?" Cai Xiujuan felt that with the participation of foreign businessmen, first, the funds would be more abundant and the development would be better, and second, with these connections, it should be easier for foreign exports in the future.

"I told him we needed to think about it." Jian Lu looked at Cai Xiujuan and remembered that in this era, after some foreign businessmen injected capital into domestic enterprises, they would eventually directly annex them, "However, I do not recommend accepting capital injections, we can cooperate, and if we directly divide the shares, our initiative will gradually be lost." Besides, foreigners are much better at business investment than we are, and if there is any problem, we can easily suffer losses. ”

"Okay, then listen to you, we can eat as big cake as we want now, don't worry." Cai Xiujuan is already very satisfied with this development.

Three days later, the two politely rejected Sam's offer to inject money, and Sam did not make it difficult for the two of them, maintaining his usual demeanor, "That's really a pity, I hope you can have the opportunity to talk about this in the future, or if you change your mind, you can contact me." I have already cooperated with the cotton mills in your city, and you can consider it later. ”

"Okay, Mr. Sam."

Sam and Mary stayed in City H for more than a week, and the last stop was to go to City B, Jian Lu sent the two to the train station, ended the tour guide trip from beginning to end, and sent Cai Xiujuan on the train, which finally relaxed.

——

After a handful of courses in the final year and two months of internship in the second semester, the Class of '77 finally graduated in February 1982.

The college entrance examination was cancelled for 10 years, and the class of 77 became the first batch of college students to graduate after the resumption of the college entrance examination.

Jian Lu called Cheng Zheng in advance, wanting him to bring his mother-in-law and Shuangshuang over to see him graduate.

Who knows, the major events of the two actually collided.

"Lulu, congratulations on your graduation, but I won't be able to come that day." The ceremony of appointing Cheng Zheng as deputy commander of the Navy's new special operations brigade and Jian Lu's graduation ceremony will be held on the same day.

Chapter 120

Jian Lu was a little regretful, but also a little happy.

It's a pity that Cheng Zheng couldn't come to witness his graduation, but on the contrary, he was happy for him.

He has worked hard for so many years, and finally reached the position of deputy brigade commander.

"Okay, then I won't be able to see you as soon as you are promoted to deputy brigade commander."

"It's okay, I'll pick you up then?"

"Good!"

Cheng Zheng thought about it for a while, and always felt that his daughter-in-law still had to have her family by her side on such a big day, "When the time comes, I will ask Xiao Zhao to send her mother and Shuangshuang on the train and let them go to see them." ”

"Okay!" Jian Lu rejoiced, "I'll pick them up then." ”

The graduation ceremony is a big day, especially one that comes after more than a decade, and H University attaches great importance to it.

The auditorium was set up in advance, and the walls were hung with red cloths with blessings for the graduates.

A week before graduation, Jian Lu took photos with her roommates and classmates around the campus. She took her own camera, bought five rolls of film, and didn't have to pay for it.

After graduation, everyone left from all over the world, and I don't know how many years it will take to see each other again. And this group of precious college students in the 80s is destined to shine in all walks of life.

"Let's take a group photo."

More than 30 students stood in the school playground, all looking at their cameras with smiles on their faces, and shouting, "One, two, three, eggplant." ”

Click.

On the day of the graduation ceremony, Jian Lu was still holding a camera and taking pictures in all directions, and at this moment, the principal was speaking on the stage of the auditorium, talking about the development history of H University to the luck of the resumption of the college entrance examination, and the ardent expectations for the students of the class of 77.

Principal Hung is an idealistic and pragmatic person, who treats the students of the school as if they were his own children.

"I hope that when you enter the society, you can still remember the motto of our school, truth-seeking, encouragement, practice, and morality. Be a person who is responsible for the society, the organization, the people, and himself, and has made contributions. You have been in H University for four years, and these four years are not short, but all of this will be a thing of the past from today, and from today onwards, a new stage of your life will begin. ”

The audience applauded like thunder, and every student was enthusiastic when they heard it, and many people's eyes were red, thinking about how many years they had to wait for the college entrance examination to resume, and these four years would be even more precious.

Aunt Wang led Shuangshuang and watched Jian Lu receive her graduation certificate on stage, feeling happy and proud.

"Shuangshuang, do you see your mother?"

Both of them were sitting on Grandma's lap, leaning forward and looking forward, her gaze moving in all directions, and finally caught her mother in the crowd.

"See!" Both pointed to their mothers on the stage, "Grandma, there's Mommy!" ”

"Yes, your mother has a diploma. You will also study hard in the future, don't you? I also take the university entrance examination and get a graduation certificate. ”

At this time, Shuangshuang, who was in the fifth grade of elementary school, nodded seriously, "I will take the university entrance examination and get a graduation certificate." ”

Jian Lu received the graduation certificate from the principal, stood next to the principal with 10 other students, looked at the audience, and the reporter of the school newspaper pressed the shutter and took a group photo.

——

"Cheng Zheng, commander of the 3rd Brigade and 3rd Regiment of Unit 625, has been in the army for 24 years, has participated in dozens of battles, large and small, performed outstanding in various tasks, commanded resolutely, acted quickly, and made many meritorious contributions.

Cheng Zheng was dressed in a brand-new white navy uniform, wearing a navy hat, and under the brim of the hat was a handsome face, with heroic eyebrows and resolute eyes, and he walked towards the chief.

"Unit 625 Navy's New Special Warfare Journey Zheng Report!"

The voice was sonorous and powerful, and Cheng Zheng raised his hand to salute the chief.

When he joined the army, he was a young man, and after a long military career, at this moment, Cheng Zheng's eyes were all about his past and tomorrow.

Cheng Zheng, who was promoted to deputy brigade commander, moved his office, but Xiao Zhao, a service soldier, followed him.

In this regard, Xiao Zhao burst into tears, and felt that the regiment commander, oh, no, now it is the deputy brigade commander who recognizes himself, and he is so moved that he can't do it.

"Deputy Brigade Commander, I'm sure I'll do a good job! Absolutely no shame on you! ”

Cheng Zheng glanced at this orderly who had been with him for many years, and smiled, "Okay, hold back your tears." I'm going to pick up my daughter-in-law later. ”

"Yes!"

Cheng Zheng looked down at the military uniform on his body, and there was another epaulette.

——

Jian Lu and her mother-in-law and daughter packed their bags at school, and the graduates had to go their separate ways.

As the first batch of graduates after the resumption of the college entrance examination, the work assigned by everyone is always enviable, at least it is the iron rice bowl level that everyone envies in this era.

Hugging one by one, Jian Lu said goodbye to her roommates, and everyone agreed to get together again as soon as possible.

"Goodbye, aunties!" Shuangshuang had only been in his mother's dormitory for a day, and he was already very familiar with his mother's roommates, and was fed a lot of snacks by his aunts, and he couldn't stop eating.

"Goodbye, slow down on the road."

"Lulu, your daughter is so smart, I should have let you bring her to play earlier."

"If you praise her again, her little tail will go up to the sky."

Both volunteered to carry a bag for their mother, and they were indeed a little proud, and their mother's roommates praised themselves.

"Mom, don't the aunts like me very much?" Sitting on the green train, both were placed between mother and grandmother, and Jian Lu bought a separate ticket for the child.

"Yes, everybody's very fond of you."

The eyebrows and eyes are crooked, and the eyes are smiling into the shape of a crescent moon.

After getting off the train, when they stepped out of the platform, they saw their father in military uniform, and they jumped up and ran over.

"Daddy! My grandma and I brought my mom back! ”

Cheng Zheng looked at his daughter, with a smile on his face, walked over with the child, took the snakeskin bag in the old mother's hand, and wanted to take the daughter-in-law's suitcase.

"I'm not heavy, you can help your mother get it." Jian Lu glanced at Cheng Zheng, it seemed that being the deputy brigade commander was a little different, she called softly, "Deputy brigade commander Cheng is good~"

Cheng Zheng was so amused by his daughter-in-law's cat-like eyes that he bent the corners of his mouth, didn't answer, and just walked away silently with his luggage.

When Jian Lu first went to the university to report, she had a lot of things, but this time she came back with a lot more, and this was the result of throwing away a lot of things that were not very useful.

The family carried a large bag and a small bag, and when they put their luggage on the floor of the house, Jian Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief, it was really not easy.

Carrying a thermos and pouring a cup of water, blowing and drinking half a cup with both of them, the mother-in-law couldn't rest, and went to put her luggage with her things.

"Mom, let's take a break, I'll clean it up later." Jian Lu shouted into the room.

Aunt Wang waved her hand, "You rest, I'll clean up quickly." ”

Jian Lu looked at her mother-in-law's old and strong appearance, and just wanted to praise and admire, no number of young people can compare.

After working for most of the day, Jian Lu's luggage was finally emptied, and the family of three went into battle together, putting clothes on the clothes, bottles and cans on the bottles and cans, and Jian Lu was putting her college textbooks and some notebooks, which were all memories and had to be treasured.

Shuangshuang also came to help, mainly to help clean up some of Mom's beautiful things. She pulled out a bag from her suitcase, untied the tether, and saw a slender tube inside.

"Mom, what is this?" Neither of them had ever seen anything like it.

Jian Lu looked back, "It's lipstick." ”

Last time, Mary came over and gave her and Cai Xiujuan a lipstick. At present, the sale of lipstick and other cosmetics is still eliminated in China, although it is not the past ten years and the capitalist hedonism of cosmetics is so rejected, but it will take time for everything to recover.

The lipstick Mary gave them solved the problem, but Cai Xiujuan thought that her lips were too red when she put on lipstick, so she put it in the cupboard.

Jian Lu is naturally not repulsive, she put on lipstick, and the whole person is in a bad mood all of a sudden, and she looks good.

"What is lipstick?" Neither of them had ever heard of this thing.

"It's something that is put on the mouth and the mouth turns red." Jian Lu didn't pay much attention to it, "I'll give it to you when you grow up in the future." ”

"Oh~" Shuangshuang looked at the lipstick in his hand, a little curious.

The family worked together to finally clean up the house, and it was only after dinner that Jian Lu had a real feeling that she had finally graduated and returned home. When she returned to the bedroom, she took her pajamas and prepared to take a shower, and as soon as she opened the bedroom door, she saw Cheng Zheng coming back after finishing her work.

Cheng Zheng helped pack his luggage in the afternoon, and left after a while because of official business, and he didn't come back until it was time for dinner.

"Deputy Brigade Commander Cheng, are you finally back?"

Jian Lu joked with a smile, and saw Cheng Zheng with a smile on his face.
