My 1979

As soon as his hand touched his pocket, the bodyguard behind him handed him a cigarette and helped him light it.

The smoke ring lay in front of him for a while, and then it finally dissipated. September and October are the two months with the best weather in the capital. It is truly called golden autumn, with no fog or haze.

The only thing that made him dissatisfied was that the weather was getting colder, and the coldness could spread from the soles of his feet to his whole body. For a guy like him with weak legs and feet, life would not be easy.

After finishing the cigarette, I put it out, threw it into the trash can, turned two corners, and headed to the hotel I had booked in advance.

Li Wen stood at the door of the hotel and looked around. When she saw Li Aijun's figure, she waved and shouted, "Dad, he's here."

As soon as the red light went out and the green light flashed out, she crossed the street and ran to Li Aijun to support him.

Li Aijun said, "I'm not paralyzed yet, so I don't need to support you like this. Is your mother here?"

His stepdaughter was filial to him and knew what was good and bad, which made him very happy.

Li Wen said, "I just arrived a while ago and was chatting with them. It was she who asked me to come down to pick you up because she was afraid that you didn't know the way."

Li Aijun asked, "How do Tan Tao's parents treat you? If it doesn't work, we won't agree to anything. It's not like my daughter can't get married, so she won't be angry about it. Remember, you have to think about me as well as yourself." , I have never been embarrassed in my life. Marrying a girl at the end of your life should be a joyful and elated time, so don’t let me be disgraced."

You Mingyue kept urging her daughter to get married, which made Li Wen irritable and even quarreled at home. Li Aijun was worried that Li Wen was forced to get married in a hurry. Don't worry too much about thinking that his old Li family can't tolerate her.

According to his conscience, he has always regarded her as his daughter.

Crossing the road and standing at the foot of the hotel steps, Li Wen took Li Aijun's arm and did not rush in. She lowered her head and said seriously, "Dad, thank you."

When she entered Li's house, she had just entered elementary school. She still remembered the day when he and her mother came in with their marriage certificate. She called her uncle as usual.

Who knew that he carelessly touched her head, handed her a big red envelope with a smile, and said loudly, "Silly girl, from now on, you have to call me daddy."

She called him daddy, very happy and sincerely felt that he was worthy of being her daddy.

Her biological father is a truck driver. She has lived in the fear he created for her since she was a child. He would hit people after drinking, and he would hit people when he lost money in gambling. She has never seen him in a normal mood. when.

His mother was beaten so severely that she would often be left with wounds all over her body on the streets late at night.

Later, he was in a car accident and his mother cried, but she had no tears at all. Whenever relatives in her hometown called her and asked her to visit her father's grave, she always refused. Her grandmother favored boys over girls. From what she could remember, From now on, even if she scolds a cheap girl and is a nuisance, she won't give her a good face.

But her stepfather always advised her that it was your father after all, so it was not an exaggeration to go to the knife, so she reluctantly went.

Her mother and stepfather formed a new family. She had a younger brother and enjoyed the warmth of the family. She became a member of this family in a true sense.

She always cherishes him, she likes this man who is missing a leg and has a smile on his face.

Li Aijun said, "I am your father, why are you saying these things? Anyway, marriage is your own business, you can handle it. However, if your mother doesn't agree, don't involve me, I don't know anything." , as if I didn’t say anything.”

Li Wen said, "So your conscience won't hurt?"

Li Aijun smiled and said, "I never ask whether my conscience hurts. Maybe my conscience is worthless. Comrade Marx once said that when capital comes to the world, from head to toe, every pore is dripping with blood and filth. thing."

The father and daughter talked and laughed together as they entered the restaurant's private room.

As soon as Li Aijun entered the door, Li Wen's partner Tan Tao came over and introduced each other, "This is my father Tan Dong, and this is Uncle Li, Wenwen's father."

Tan Dong was tall and thin, wearing glasses. At first impression, he seemed to be a gentle man. He looked at Li Aijun from head to toe, then stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Li, sit down quickly."

After Li Aijun shook hands with him, he exchanged a few pleasantries, leaned back on the soft chair, and said with a smile, "Professor Tan, is this the first time we have met?"

He has been doing business for so many years, and he has naturally developed a lot of skills in observing words and expressions. He looks at the other person as if he knows him.

Tan Tao said, "Just call me Lao Tan. To be honest, we are somewhat familiar."

"Oh, I heard that you teach in Huaqing?" Li Aijun smiled when he nodded, "I used to set up a shoe stall at the east gate of Beijing University to repair and mend shoes."

"Oh," Tan Dong stood up hurriedly, came over to hold Li Aijun's hand with both hands, and said, "I just said I've seen him somewhere before. Don't be offended by my words. I remember your legs."

Li Aijun laughed and lifted up his legs and feet, revealing his prosthetic limbs and asked, "Look, is this right?"

"Sorry, sorry" seemed to have exposed Li Aijun's shortcomings. Tan Dong was very embarrassed, "To tell you the truth, I also graduated from Peking University and mended shoes at your stall. Later, I went abroad for a few years and came back to China. Qing is now teaching."

"May I ask, which class are you in?" Li Aijun was wondering if he would have anything to do with Li He, so that if the conversation went wrong, he would have to save some face.

Tan Dong laughed and said, "I am grade 80 and graduated from the Chinese Department."

"Do you know Liu Yibo?" Li Aijun basically knew everyone in Li He's circle.

Tan Dong said, "Although he is only three years older than me, he is my teacher. I have followed him from undergraduate to graduate school."

Because of this relationship, the relationship between the two families has become much closer.

When the food and drinks were served, the atmosphere was harmonious for a while. You Mingyue and Tan Tao's mother, Liu Suzhen, took advantage of the men to chat and drink, and chatted a few words with each other. You are humble and I give in. Women are realistic and shrewd. They just want to find out something about each other. family property.

You Mingyue said, "You are from a family of intellectuals. I believe you are all well-educated. We businessmen are a bit philistine. We always stare at this firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. Don't get angry if we talk too much."

Ever since she entered the Li family, the Li family had never suffered any injustice for her and her mother. They had taken care of the daughter they had raised for so many years, not only provided for her until she graduated from college, but also sent her to study abroad. From a conscience point of view, it was already very good. .

When the daughter is at home, it is right for the Li family to take care of everything. After all, she married into the Li family. However, one has to be responsible. The daughter is about to get married and she will soon become a member of that family. She cannot continue to rely on the Li family after getting married. ?

Although she also controls a lot of money, it ultimately belongs to the Li family. After her daughter gets married, she is determined not to subsidize her daughter. The Li family doesn't tell her, but she has to have this consciousness and she can no longer be shameless.

Therefore, she has to take a look at the other person's family, and cannot let her daughter get married in a haphazard way. She has to fight for all the conditions she can for her daughter, so that at least she won't have to worry about extraneous things after marriage.

Liu Suzhen said, "Where is this? What's wrong with intellectuals? They have to wear clothes and eat, otherwise they won't be able to live as gods. Although we poor teachers have lower wages, his father and I have still saved a house over the years. , Don’t worry, the child’s new house is nearby, you can go and have a look later.”
