My 1979

Li He organized the things in the bag and said with a smile, "Don't we have school living allowance? I have saved this for several years. But I still want to thank you. Without meeting you, I wouldn't be able to spend it if I had money. .”

Bian Mei said angrily, "But you can't spend it like this. No one can help being so defeated."

"It's okay. I will start working after the new year, and I will be able to work again."

Bian Mei suddenly said with envy, "It's better for you college students. No matter what unit you are assigned to, you can also be assigned a room, and your salary is high. You are better than us in everything."

Li He said, "It's not certain yet. Look, it's almost noon. I'll treat you to a meal. Is there any private restaurant here? Let's go and have a meal."

Bian Mei said disdainfully, "Go to a private restaurant, that kind of black-hearted private restaurant. No matter how good it is now, it might be banned one day. Speculation will have no good results. Let's go to a state-owned restaurant. I like the water in it the best." The boiled fish fillets are slippery and delicious. I have a ticket and I know all the chefs there. Come on, follow me."

Li He couldn't answer the question, so he had to follow behind.

The state-owned hotel is just two blocks away from the department store, and there is a ramen restaurant opposite.

The state-owned hotel is quite a big place. If you can hold a wedding banquet in a place like this, it is extremely high-end.

To the left of the entrance is the ticket office. You pay the aunt here for everything you eat, and then go to various food outlets to exchange for food. There is no one to serve you.

The hotel was filled with mist, many people were sitting there, and many of the tables were filled with hot pots.

Finding an empty seat, Li He said, "Give me the ticket and I'll take the order. What do you want to eat?"

Bian Mei said, "No, I'll call someone over."

Bian Mei waved, and a little girl wearing an apron ran over and said with a smile, "Sister Mei, you haven't been here for a long time. I'll fix it for you today."

Bian Mei skillfully named a few dishes, then turned to Li He and asked, "What else do you want to eat? Just order it."

Li He said, "Let's add some braised pork. It's enough for the three of us."

When the little girl turned around and left, Li He said, "Are you familiar with her? If it were me, her nose is not a nose, and her eyes are not eyes."

Bian Mei said arrogantly, "It depends on the unit. We are a department store." Li He understood the relationship between state-owned units. In the era of planned economy, most of them had the same father.

For example, various units often exchange their own products. I can exchange sugar for your pork, and you can exchange an enamel jar for my kitchen knife.

To exaggerate a little more, the printing factory is owned by oneself, the kindergarten is owned by oneself, the hospital is owned by oneself, the water plant is owned by oneself, and even the pig farm is owned by oneself, and the leftovers from the canteen are given to the pigs. When the pigs get fat, they are eaten by people, and the leftovers from people's food are given to the pigs. A cycle is formed, which is disgusting to say the least.

There are incomprehensible relationships in state-owned enterprises. This kind of "mix and match" relationship households are all mixed in state-owned units, and they all keep each other's face.

Li He smiled and said to Bian Mei, "You are quite popular. I am really envious of you."

Bian Mei's face suddenly became more proud, and she said in a louder voice, "Who can't beg me? If they dare to scorn me today, when they use me, it will be useless to go to the department store to beg me."

Li He nodded and said, "So I'm glad I met you, otherwise I would have had to go to the South Gate stall to buy something."

Bian Mei said, "We are classmates. You are not an ordinary person. You are a college student with a good future. I may ask you for help one day. Don't think I am powerful. People live a lifetime and the word "relationship" is still important. Isn’t it a blind life if it’s not revealed?”

Bian Mei suddenly changed the subject and said: "You guys go back after eating, don't stay overnight. A bunch of young people are like crazy in the winter. They have their chests exposed, the holes in their clothes are taped up with tape, and they have liquor bottles in their trouser pockets. They are drinking. When someone is drunk, it is easy to cause trouble in front of the cinema or in the downtown area."

Li He nodded, "Go back after eating, don't worry."

Bian Mei said, "Do you still remember Jin Jianhua?"

Seeing that Li He was stunned, Bian Mei said directly: "I used to sit behind you, but now I drive a big car, work in the county transportation team, and often smuggle in some hot-selling goods from Shanghai, and I sell them. One piece costs Do you know how much you can make by reselling a windbreaker that costs 26 yuan?"

Li He said slightly curiously, "30?"

Bian Mei said angrily, "That's a money grab!"

His tone softened and he added, "But it's about the same. If you have 20 yuan, Jin Jianhua and I will split it 40-60. You see, this is the use of relationships. And you see, Liu Zhenguo, your deskmate, you can't help but Remember?"

Li He said, "I definitely remember this."

Bian Mei said, "His father is in charge of train dispatching."

Speaking of this, she looked around cautiously. When she saw that no one was looking in her direction, she whispered, "Look at how simple it is to sign. It doesn't even take a sneeze." I got a few hundred yuan. Others, who work early and late and work hard, may not get this much salary throughout the year. By the way, Director Wang of our winery still arranges trains through my connections."

Li He frowned and said, "To do this..."

Bian Mei snatched the words away and smiled lowly, "It's beneficial to all parties, so why not do it?"

Li He looked at the weak Bian Mei and was stunned.

This girl just looked down on speculation, but in the blink of an eye, she is doing it herself. Isn't this just selling approval documents?

This girl is so ahead of her time, she's basically a pimp.

The demand driving force can be summarized in one sentence, "If you have money, there is no place to give it away, and if someone gives it to you, you don't dare to take it."

Correspondingly, there is a saying that encourages people to jump into pits and drill holes, "The bold will be starved to death, and the timid will starve to death."

Bian Mei and the person who just despised speculation were completely two people. Their expressions changed so quickly that Li He couldn't help but think of the facial makeup in Peking Opera.

She talked about many people one after another, including the electric power bureau, hospitals, and various state-owned enterprises. In fact, Li He still has an impression of most of the people mentioned in the middle.

"Niu Sheng, the one you boys nicknamed Niu Niu Yi, is now..."

Once Bianmei's chat box is opened, it seems that it can never be closed.

Li He smiled. It was hard to persuade anyone. Once a person reaches the point of excitement, it would be difficult for others to stop him no matter how much they talk. He could only say tactfully, "I think it's okay to sell clothes and bring in some in-demand goods in the business. Wouldn't it be great to mix in other things?"

Bian Mei snorted softly, "When you were in school, you were a bit foolish and timid. You know, a horse won't get fat without grass at night, and a person won't get rich without windfall. Look at what kind of society we have now. If you stick to the old routine, even the northwest wind won’t be able to drink it.”

When the food arrived, Bian Mei closed her mouth.

A plate of boiled fish, a plate of braised pork, scrambled eggs with leeks, and a plate of Chinese cabbage, all of which looked pretty good in color.
