My 1979

"Is there anything to eat?" Li Xiaomei and I only ate a bowl of wontons at noon, and now we were starving.

He Fang put away the things in her hands, washed her hands, and went directly to the kitchen.

Li He returned to the main room and put his hands on the stove to bake.

"The hot tea I made will warm your stomach before you eat. The chicken stewed with mushrooms will be brought to you at noon. If you are not here, it will be the same now."

He Fang put away the tea for Li He and set out the bowls and chopsticks.

Li Heke didn't care about anything else and just ate it. "It tastes good. Let's continue tomorrow."

"Okay, don't miss me again." He Fang suddenly seemed to have remembered something and continued: "You are too sloppy! Where did the smelly socks and dirty clothes in your room come from? Didn't they all be given to me last night? Why? Why do you still have it? I don’t know how to clean it up.”

Li He chuckled, "It was brought back in a bag from school. I forgot to take it out. It's okay. I'll wash it myself, don't worry about it. I've been doing my own laundry since junior high school, so not everything is fine."

"Waiting for you to wash? In the Year of the Monkey and the Horse, I have already washed it for you. Just hang it under the eaves. When it is dry, you can collect it yourself." After He Fang finished speaking, he turned around and went to work in the vegetable field.

The two dogs smelled the fragrance of the chicken and licked and circled around Li He. Li He angrily kicked them and chased them away, "I'll starve you to death, you piece of shit. You won't even eat any leftovers."

When Old Man Li and Shoushan came back, Li He helped to dust off the snow and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll give you two full cups tonight."

Shoushan said, "The location is really good. It can accommodate at least 20 tables and seven private rooms. But if it is full, I will definitely be too busy by myself. I need to find two waiters and waiters. Yes."

Old Man Li said, "Bring Fu Xia over when the time comes. That girl is smart enough. We'll just find a few from nearby suburbs. It won't be full at first."

Li He said, "That's the reason. Let's take the whole ten tables. If the seats are full, you will be too busy. There are too many people to hire, and the policy does not allow it. Just wait two years."

Li He felt that no matter what he did, he was always timid and panicked. He could only hope that the storm would come more violently.

After class resumed, there were two completely different atmospheres in the class. Some people had uncontrollable excitement on their faces, while others were lying on the table and sighing.

Li He asked Chen Shuo, "Are you included in the quota?"

Li He was a bit knowing. If his wings hadn't been fanned too much, Chen Shuo would have gone abroad this year.

Chen Shuo burst into laughter, "I know, I know, I feel like my heart can't stop beating. If you don't believe me, just touch it, hahaha."

Li He threw away Chen Shuo's hand in disgust, "Hurry up and treat us. Don't be too embarrassed."

Chen Shuo then quickly covered his mouth again, "You don't understand this feeling. I'm just happy. I feel like I'm flying."

Li He pushed Chen Shuo back to his seat, "I will arrange how many people in the class will leave and when. Let's all get together."

"There are only seven people in two classes. If we go in these few days, we can catch up with the start of school over there in January. The American devils are willful, but they don't care whether the Chinese celebrate the Chinese New Year or not."

Li He was too lazy to argue, and said to himself that if you go to Yale, you should see if the school starts in September. However, each university is different, and some require you to attend language preparatory classes in advance.

Seeing Chen Shuo dancing around, of course he understands that in this era, being able to go abroad is equivalent to a chicken turning into a phoenix.

Including many people who have lived their whole lives in a daze, but when they are old, they are increasingly unable to think about things and become confused. Movies, TV, and magazines show the colorful world everywhere. At the same time, there are more and more households with ten thousand yuan outside, and the story of Master Kuan is also spreading everywhere.

Not only is the outside world full of turmoil, but the campus is not always so quiet. People are eager to go abroad, but nowhere is it so easy, at least it is not easy now.

If Li He was asked to summarize, Li He would say that the early 1980s was the era of self-employed small commodity circulation, the mid-to-late 1980s was the era of the start of manufacturing, the early 1990s was the era of knowledge economy, and finally with the participation of intellectuals , representing the end of the nouveau riche era, dominated by self-employed individuals and laid-off workers.

Li He thought about whether he was too timid. The four Liu brothers might be vigorously engaged in breeding and selling feed in Sichuan at this time, or they would be the first richest man.

As the weather gets colder and colder, the holiday time gets closer and closer.

Li He took the time to go to the train station and buy a train ticket, but he became more and more anxious as the day came to go home.

I passed by the post office and sent a telegram back to Su Ming, with only a few simple words: Very good, start work immediately.

Li He received the tape sent by Su Ming and was very satisfied. The noise reduction process was very good. Except for the rough packaging, it was almost indistinguishable from the original.

When he arrived at Li Aijun's shop, Li Aijun couldn't wait to give Li He a try on the shoes he made.

Li Aijun has made three models before and after, but none of them were recognized by Li He, and he felt a little disappointed.

The location of the newly opened shoe shop can only be said to be average. The door is usually closed, and Li Aijun works alone inside. However, the house is very clean, there is no trace of dirt on the table, and even the cement floor under his feet is dry. Clean.

Even the cut threads and leather scraps were piled neatly.

Li He said, "Why do you keep it so clean? It's cleaner than even a hotel."

"My mother took care of them. She said you can't be sloppy in business. Tell me what you think of these pairs. I made them according to the drawings you gave me."

As a science and engineering geek, Li He drew pictures as his most basic skill, but he also drew them according to some popular styles of shoes he had seen before, but when he actually made them, they were so different.

Li He carefully walked a few steps on the ground, looked at Li Aijun's nervous expression, and said with a smile, "That's it. You should do the same for women's boots. I guarantee you won't have to worry about selling them."

"Then if I sell it for 10 yuan, will I win?"

Li He looked like a fool and asked, "How much does it cost in the department store?"

"Department stores don't have leather cotton shoes, they only have leather shoes, and they cost twelve to twenty yuan."

"Are you worse than the ones from other factories?"

Li Aijun said, "That's impossible. It's definitely better than theirs. Their glue is just fooling people."

"18 yuan is the best price!! We won't sell it below this price."

Li Aijun was anxious, "Who will buy it if it's so expensive?"

"That's right, if it's cheaper, come and buy it. Even if the order is scheduled until next year, you won't make much money. Listen to me, it's true."

"Then I'll give it a try? No, I'll sell it cheaper."

"What does it mean to try it? It's just this price. I've worn this pair. Work hard and make sure your hands cramp when you count the money." The new leather shoes were worn on his feet. They were so warm that Li He couldn't bear to take them off.

It really made Li He talk. On the day Li Aijun opened the door, there was a sign saying "Leather Cotton Shoes for Sale". Leather cotton shoes are easy to understand, they are leather shoes with cotton inside.

When Li Aijun put the 10 pairs of men's shoes and 5 pairs of women's boots in the store, someone tried them on and couldn't bear to take them off. He gritted his teeth and paid for them on the spot.
