Chapter 185: A Foreign Land as a Stranger
According to the local customs of Hubei Village, the male members of the family should clean the ancestral shrine and worship their ancestors on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Therefore, Ah Xiong and his old bean were busy in the ancestral hall for an afternoon.
The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner here is usually eaten at five or six o'clock in the afternoon. Unlike the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in his hometown, he casually made two mouthfuls of dumplings in the afternoon, and it was officially eaten at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and the family was reunited, lively and lively, and ate until the New Year's bell rang at 12 o'clock.
This year's Luo family, because of Han Chunlei's partner, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is also richer than in previous years.
Poon Choi is a must-have, meaning that you will earn a lot of money in the coming year.
Crispy suckling pig is also a must, which means that the family is living a prosperous life.
Fat cabbage pork knuckles are also indispensable, which means that everyone will get rich in the coming year.
Lao Guang said, "The fried piles are busy, the house is full of gold and silver, the oil horns are crooked, and the family wealth is millions", so Ah Xiong's mother made fried dumplings and oil horns, of course, she must also eat them.
This Chinese New Year's Eve dinner lasted until more than eight o'clock in the evening.
Luo Dahong was overwhelmed by the two young people, and went back to the house to lie down.
Ah Xiong's mother has to clean up the dinner table.
Ah Xiong took Han Chunlei to Ah Qiang's house to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
Ah Qiang made some money from the dance hall and asked someone to buy a TV before the Chinese New Year.
Although it is not the first person in Hubei Village to have a TV, it has also broken this guy's cow.
Since Chinese New Year's Eve in 79, there has been a Spring Festival Gala on the Central Channel, but the Spring Festival Gala here is called the New Year Gala, and the programs are recorded in advance, not in the form of live broadcast for the national audience. And the content and type of the program are not as exciting as the Spring Festival Gala after that.
Until next year's 83 Spring Festival Gala, it will be the first CCTV Spring Festival Gala in the real sense.
Han Chunlei has watched a documentary about the history of the Spring Festival Gala on the Internet before, and it seems that in the first Spring Festival Gala next year, Ma Ji and Jiang Kun will come up, Liu Xiaoqing and Li Guyi will also come up, and the song "Hometown Love", which has been labeled as a beautiful voice for N years, has also been lifted and put on stage.
As for the Spring Festival Gala in 82 this year, Han Chunlei didn't feel too interesting, it's better than nothing.
A few young people watched TV at Cuong's house and drank some wine while taking advantage of the excitement.
After watching TV and coming out of Ah Qiang's house, Han Chunlei and Ah Xiong didn't feel sleepy, so they made a pot of tea and sat in the courtyard to chat and keep the New Year.
"Brother Xiong, I saw you go out early and return late a few days ago, where are you running now?" Han Chunlei asked half-leaning on the bamboo chair.
Ah Xiong smiled: "I mainly go to the area of Zhongying Street in Sha Tau Kok now, there are many people there to do business, and the guests are quite generous and do not bargain." Earn more than in the East Gate Market. Especially in the days at the end of the year, there are a lot of outsiders running Zhongying Street. ”
"Chung Ying Street in Sha Tau Kok, are so many people going to buy things?" asked Han Chunlei curiously.
Ah Xiong nodded: "Yes, on the twenty-ninth day of my year, I also had a big job, and a foreign boss bought two boxes of nylon stockings from Zhongying Street, and then asked me to send him to the train station." This trip is worth running for an afternoon in Dongmen Market. ”
Han Chunlei was stunned: "Bought two boxes of nylon stockings?"
Ah Xiongle said: "Yes, the boss from the countryside said that he didn't know what Shenzhen specialties to bring back to his hometown for the New Year, so he simply brought some nylon stockings back, and when the time came, he would give a pair to the villagers and villagers."
Go, so that the villagers know that he has earned money in Shenzhen. ”
"Hahaha, interesting. Han Chunlei said with a smile.
Han Chunlei knew Chung Ying Street in Sha Tau Kok, which was a special zone within a special zone, and the patrols in it were all Hong Kong police. At this time, mainland compatriots are not allowed to go to Hong Kong at will, so for most people, going to Chung Ying Street is equivalent to being to Hong Kong.
However, there are restrictions on shopping on Chung Ying Street, and you are not allowed to buy electrical appliances, watches, large toys, valuables, etc., but you can buy some small goods, such as Hong Kong stockings, sunglasses, dresses, etc.
So it's easy to understand that the out-of-town boss in Ah Xiong's mouth bought two boxes of nylon stockings and came home.
Han Chunlei asked again: "What about your salesman girlfriend? Shouldn't you bring the family over for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner Chinese New Year's Eve tonight?"
Xiong: "Blown." ”
Han Chunlei was surprised: "Why did you blow it again? Didn't we talk about it quite well before?"
Ah Xiong shrugged: "Before it was, now it's now, it's not suitable, I can't talk about it, so I blew it." ”
Han Chunlei smiled: "It must be your problem, I think the girl is very warm and considerate to you." ”
"Well, she's very good, but Chunlei, every time I'm with her, I'm still pretending to be a red in my heart. Later, I seriously thought about it, this is not love, I can't lie to other girls, so, so I broke up. I also got a big slap in the face. Ah Xiong subconsciously touched the right cheek of his face.
"Yes!"
Han Chunlei despised him, and then reminded: "Brother Xiong, Su Dahe's life and death were unknown before, so you still have a scene with Sister Hong." Now that Su Dahe has sent a letter to Sister Hong, Sister Hong also knows that Su Dahe is in Hong Kong, I think you two are really useless. ”
"I know it's no fun!"
Ah Xiong smiled calmly, "Su Dahe wants to come back to her, that's Su Dahe's business." In the future, Ah Hong wants to leave with Su Dahe, which is also Ah Hong's choice. But it doesn't affect my liking her. ”
Han Chunlei: "......"
It's amazing!
He was a little annoyed, didn't Brother Xiong's brain usually turn quite clearly? Why did he get to Sister Hong, like a second fool.
For a while, he didn't know how to open his mouth to answer his words.
The two sat opposite each other like this, and the atmosphere became a little quieter.
Han Chunlei simply changed the topic and broke the dull atmosphere: "Your old bean resigned to me before the Spring Festival, saying that he wanted to do some small business by himself, do you know about this?"
"Well, he told him about this at home before, and my mother and I also persuaded him to let him work with you honestly, and he didn't listen. My old bean is too good to toss, and my mother and I can't do anything about her. Ah Xiong also shook his head helplessly.
"Not working with me is secondary. The main reason is that he suddenly said that he wants to engage in small business, and I am worried that he will be deceived. You know, there are more people coming to Shenzhen to do business nowadays, but there are also more scammers. After all, Luo Dahong has been working with Han Chunlei for more than a year, and he is Axiong's old bean, Han Chunlei thinks that he should still care about it.
Ah Xiong: "My old bean has a friend who is from Yantian. Two years ago, his friend started a small factory in Yantian, specializing in processing contract materials in Hong Kong. Listen to him and I'm old
Dou said that he earned tens of thousands of banknotes last year. My old bean is very envious. Recently, he told my old bean that the local government in Yantian had issued a document encouraging everyone to get started. They converted the ancestral hall, the dining hall, and the old assembly hall into factories. I went to see Lao Dou, and there are really a lot of people working in a small factory, and their eyes are so red. Later, my old bean listened to his friend's advice and was ready to do it himself after the New Year. ”
Han Chunlei listened and nodded slightly: "So that's the case." ”
Ah Xiong smiled bitterly: "Since I can remember, my old beans have been trading one after another, but none of them have made a lot of money." Thanks to my grandfather, he left some family business at that time, otherwise he would have been tossed and broken up. I guess he's tossing again this time, but I hope he doesn't lose too much. ”
"I listened to what you just said, and I'm quite optimistic about your old bean's business. ”
Han Chunlei smiled and said: "Since the government has issued a document, it shows that the government encourages, advocates and supports everyone to do processing with supplied materials." Most of these businesses will not have any policy risks. The key is that your friend of Lao Dou has long had a processing order from Hong Kong, as long as Uncle Luo can take orders from him, I think this is a profitable business. ”
Ah Xiong nodded: "They have indeed discussed this before, and my old bean will also do silk flower processing after starting a factory." ”
"That's okay! This time's business, his old man shouldn't be in vain. Han Chunlei said half-jokingly.
Ah Xiong stroked his palm and said: "Haha, then borrow your auspicious words from Chunlei! I really hope that his business can be tossed this time, then he won't have so much energy to urge me to get married early." ”
"Boom!"
"Knock knock!"
At this time, the countdown bell of the Spring Festival suddenly rang.
Immediately afterwards, the crackling sound of firecrackers sounded outside the courtyard.
In the sky, strings of ceremonial flowers also flew up.
Although the ceremonial flowers of this era are not as ever-changing and colorful as the ceremonial flowers of later generations, they are brilliant and dazzling.
But it was loud and bright, illuminating the whole sky.
"Happy Chinese New Year, Brother Xiong!"
"Happy Chinese New Year, Spring Thunder!"
Regarding the small factory I wrote about Axiong Laodou Luo Dahong doing processing with supplied materials, this is a reference to the real history of Shenzhen at that time.
At that time, this kind of processing with supplied materials, processing with samples, assembly of supplied parts and small and medium-sized compensation trade was collectively referred to as "three to one supplement" enterprises. According to the statistics at the beginning of April 1979, Bao'an County introduced 27 "three to one supplement" enterprises, and recorded 1.69 million yuan in labor payment. After that, the communes in Bao'an County were eager to try. In August 1979, the State Council issued a document requiring the simplification of approval procedures for processing and assembly of supplied materials, and clarifying the proportion of local retention of foreign exchange earnings. As soon as the floodgates opened, the four towns and eight towns of Bao'an were moved, and many social teams even made use of the old ancestral halls, old halls, and old canteens to set up small factories for processing with supplied materials. Among them, Sha Tau Kok, Yantian and Luohu are among the first areas to take action. In the month, Bao'an County reverted to the county system, which governs all rural areas outside the special zone. The first fire of the county government was to set up industrial communities in Buji, Henggang, Longgang and other places.
