My 1979

The two bodyguards got up from the ground and dared not say anything in anger, for fear of alarming Zhang Xiaohui.

Otherwise it will appear that they are too incompetent.

The car stopped at the door. Li He did not get in, but walked along the edge of the road.

Buildings are getting taller and taller, roads are getting wider and wider, and basically every few years there will be a round of major demolitions. The changes every day make him dizzy.

Song Gu followed him leisurely. Seeing him turn around, he thought he had an order, so he whispered, "Mr. Li."

Li He asked, "What happened just now?"

Song Gu said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, they were the ones who provoked me first."

Li He waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's inevitable that chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven."

Unknowingly, he found the Wangfujing Bookstore looking up. He walked in and suddenly met an unexpected person on the first floor.

After being stunned for a moment, his face showed displeasure, "Mu Yin, why are you here?"

Mu Yin looked like Mu Yan back then, tall and thin. He smiled and said, "Uncle Li, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect to see you here."

Li He asked, "When did you come? Why didn't you say hello when you came? You treat me like an outsider."

He had reason to be angry. He took Mu Yin for granted.

He didn't even say hello to him when he came to Beijing.

Mu Yan put down the book in his hand and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Uncle Li, I just arrived yesterday and I didn't dare to trouble you and Aunt He."

He was very grateful to Li He. He lost his parents when he was young, and it was Uncle Li who traveled thousands of miles to bring him back from Australia, where he lived with his grandmother.

From junior high school to high school to college, every step of his life was inseparable from Uncle Li's care.

Now that he has started his business, he has received help from his father's old friend, Uncle Li and others.

Li He said with a straight face, "What book should I buy? Buy it quickly. Follow me."

The tone left no room for doubt.

After Mu Yan paid the bill, he took the book and left the bookstore. Li He was already waiting at the door.

The two people walked out of the commercial street, got on the car at the intersection, and sat side by side.

Li He looked at the book in his hand and sighed, "Your father's favorite was "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". Books were hard to buy at that time. In order to buy this book, he queued for a whole day in front of the bookstore. team.

He said that Pu Songling was the king of short stories in this incredible book. He admired him so much that he could memorize most of it.

Because of your father's influence, I went to Zichuan and visited Pu Songling's former residence, and I learned that "Where there is a will, there is a way, the cauldron will sink the boat, and the Qin Pass will eventually belong to Chu" was originally written by him.

It's very motivating, I think it's probably why your father likes it. "

Mu Yin said, "I'm not as good as him. I can only recite one piece of "Promoting Weaving", which is a text in the textbook when I was in school. The teacher asked me to do it. The day before yesterday, I picked up my grandma. When I was packing up my things at home, I found a copy of "Liao Zhai", which was densely packed with things. The annotation is so broken that it is impossible to read it.

I happened to see a bookstore here, so I came in to take a look and bought it. "

Li He said, "Is your grandma willing to go there with you?"

Five or six years ago, he went to Xiangxi to see Mrs. Mu. She was in her seventies, neither deaf nor blind. She could not only take care of herself three meals a day, but also pick tea and grow some vegetables.

Every time he saw the old lady walking on the steep hillside, he was frightened. At that time, he suggested that the old lady follow her grandson to live in the city. However, the old lady did not want to drag her grandson down and insisted on living alone.

Mu Yin blushed and said, "Uncle Li, I'm getting married."

Li He said angrily, "If I don't ask about such a big thing, why don't you tell me?"

Mu Yin's head dropped lower.

Halfway through the car, Mu Yin said, "Uncle Li, can you stop the car first?"

Li He said, "My family doesn't lack anything, so there's no need to buy it. You're just being polite."

Mu Yin said, "Uncle Li, no matter whether it is expensive or cheap, whatever you buy is what I want. Besides, I bought it for Aunt He, so you can't stop me."

Li He laughed.

Qiu Liang stopped the car on the side of the road in time.

When Mu Yin came out of the mall, he was carrying large and small bags. Song Gu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, got out of the car and helped stuff them into the trunk.

Li He smiled and said, "It's a waste to buy so much. Your aunt and I don't eat things like bird's nests and deer antlers. It's good to be able to eat three meals a day. You haven't contacted your Uncle Meng yet, have you?"

Mu Yin said, "I heard that Uncle Meng is in Northern Hebei, but I don't go there that much."

Li He said, "Uncle Meng, who is nearly seventy years old, has just undergone heart bypass surgery and is not in good health. How can he be outside all year round? He retired last year and is very free now. His main task every day is to take care of his grandson." dog."

Although the two are colleagues, Meng Jianguo is much older than him.

In their time, father-son classmates and father-son colleagues abounded.

Mu Yin said, "I didn't know Uncle Meng had surgery, otherwise I should have come to see him."

Li He said, "No one cares about this. You children's good life is more important than anything else."

He Fang heard the sound of the car and went to the door to greet him. When she saw Mu Yin getting out of the car, she said in surprise, "When did you kid get here?"

Li He said, "If I hadn't met him, he wouldn't have come."

Mu Yin said embarrassedly, "Aunt He, are you in good health? I'm afraid of bothering you."

He Fang scolded, "You kid is talking nonsense again. What's the trouble? I'm in good health. Come in quickly, don't stand outside."

Welcoming Mu Yin into the house, he poured tea and brought him fruits.

Mu Yin was a little confused and said with a smile, "Look, you are so polite, I really don't dare to come."

He Fang said, "I treat you like my own child. When your brother and sister come back, I will do the same. You don't have to be shy."

Li He said, "You, you will be very busy next time. This guy is getting married. You, the aunt, will see how you make arrangements."

He Fang looked at Mu Yin happily and said, "Really, where is the girl from? Have you met your mother-in-law?"

Mu Yin said, "I am planning to come here to meet the girl's family this time. She is my university classmate in Hong Kong."

He Fang sat on the sofa and said seriously, "Then you must tell me carefully what her parents are doing and do they have any requirements? Our conditions are not bad, and we cannot wrong others."

Mu Yin said, "We haven't met yet. I'm going to see what her parents say."

He Fang said, "That's your fault. When you meet your parents for such a big thing, you don't even say hello. You don't look like an elder. People might think you don't take them seriously."

Mu Yan lowered his head and took a sip of tea, "It's not that there are no parents, my grandma is here."

Li Heteng stood up and reprimanded, "Nonsense! You said you picked up your breast, but I thought you went to Shenzhen to pick up your breast. Why did I come to Beijing with you? You just told me now! Where are you now?"

Take it now! "

He was really angry.

He Fang also followed, "Your grandma is so old, why do you ask her to do it? Are you still going to let her worry about it? We are all here, so it is the same as telling us directly?"

Mu Yin smiled bitterly and said, "We are staying in the hotel. My grandma didn't let us tell you. She said you have done enough. It is not easy to raise a family. It is not easy to rely on you for everything. My age is also You are not young anymore, and you can do many things by yourself. She said she would treat you to drinks on the day I hold a banquet."

Li He said, "Then you can't just listen to your grandma. She is old and doesn't know our situation. How can you still not know our situation? Come on, I will accompany you to pick up your baby. Which hotel do you want to stay in? Are you sincere?" Please leave the old lady alone."

He Fang added, "Where is your girlfriend? Let's pick her up together. There's no shortage of places to stay at home. There are plenty of rooms at home."

When Mu Yin saw the situation, he knew he couldn't refuse, so he stood up and said, "Uncle Li, just lend me a car and I'll pick it up. My old uncle is here too, and he's here to help me nurse."

Li He asked, "Which uncle?"

Mu Yin said, "I'm Uncle Murray."

Li Hebai gave him a look and said, "Hey, you kid, stop dawdling, take the key and go quickly. I'll wait for you to come for lunch."

As soon as Mu Yin left, Meng Jianguo, Liu Yibo, Hu Yuanchao and others came.

Hu Yuanchao was already in a wheelchair, pushed by his daughter.

The stairs of Li's house are very high and cannot be accessed by a wheelchair. Meng Jianguo and his driver each held one side to lift them up.

Li He pushed him aside and said with a smile, "If your heart is broken, let them carry it."

Drivers Song Gu and Meng Jianguo worked together to lift Hu Yuanchao up.

Li He pushed it from behind and said with a smile, "Before you put it aside, I will fix it for you by myself."

Hu Yuanchao said, "Nonsense, before I put it aside, I was not in a wheelchair. When I was fighting fires in Kuwait, I didn't sleep for days and nights."

Everyone laughed.

Li He personally made tea for everyone and told them about Mu Yin.

Finally, he said, "In terms of money, I am the only one who deserves it. When the time comes, we can all work together to make the scene look better."

Hu Yuanchao said, "You are overthinking it. You don't need any money. Your sister-in-law and I live on the pension every month now, and we don't want to be a burden to our children."

Meng Jianguo said, "Don't cry about being poor. If you are willing, you can give me millions and millions of dollars. Just open your mouth and I won't even frown."

Hu Yuanchao said, "Don't force me to make mistakes when I get old."

Meng Jianguo said, "You are retired, what mistakes are there to make? If you use your spare energy, I will pay you a consulting fee. Isn't it normal?"

Hu Yuanchao said angrily, "I'm not afraid of anything, I'm just afraid of chatting with a layman like you. If I were like Lao Liu, I wouldn't really care. I would give a lecture at the university every now and then, go on a show, and publish a few books. , what kind of Chinese studies are you promoting, a poetry conference, and you can make money with your eyes closed."

Liu Yibo said, "This is the only benefit I have. I rely on my old age and sell my old age everywhere to earn some pension money."

Everyone was talking and laughing, and the conversation was lively.

He Fang came in with a plate of pumpkin cakes and said with a smile, "You guys should eat something to fill your stomach first. When the old lady comes, we will start dinner."

Li He looked at the time and saw that Mu Yan had been gone for more than forty minutes.

He walked to the door and looked towards the intersection from time to time.

After a while, the car he lent to Mu Yin appeared.

The car stopped at the door, and he was about to open the door. The old lady was already pushing eagerly from the inside. He didn't dare to move for fear of hurting the old lady.

He quickly took two steps back, waited for the old lady to get out of the car, then walked over and said with a smile, "Auntie, you really made me angry."

The old lady smiled nonchalantly and said, "You can be angry if you like. Hey, it's not a big deal. I really don't want you to worry about it and it will cause trouble for you."

"Getting married is not a big deal, so what is a big deal?" He Fang supported the old lady.

Li He walked over, shook hands with Murray, and said with a smile, "Thank you, I didn't know you were here. Mu Yan, a naughty kid, doesn't know anything at all."

Murray said, "Mu Yin is no longer a child. I told my aunt that I have really failed you all these years."

Li He said, "Please come in, please come in. I really don't like to hear polite words."

After everyone exchanged greetings after entering the room, He Fang began to serve the food and everyone took their seats.

Li He took a bottle of wine and said, "Xiaoyin, you have a drink with your uncle. We will have tea instead of wine."

Meng Jianguo had a bad heart, Hu Yuanchao was taking medicine every day, Liu Yibo had liver problems, and none of them could drink.

Murray said, "I can't drink either."

Li He asked, "What's wrong? I remember that you can drink."

Mu Yin said, "My old uncle now has coronary heart disease."

Li He said, "Hey, you really can't drink that. Your uncle doesn't drink, so why don't you drink some?"

Mu Yin said, "I won't drink either. I'll meet his parents tonight."

He Fang was picking up food for the old lady and said to Mu Yin, "Just take a look. If you hadn't told me earlier, we wouldn't have prepared anything. Uncle Li and I will go with you tonight. Don't worry, I won't embarrass you." Face."

Before Mu Yin could say anything, Old Mrs. Mu spoke up, "What did you say? I wish you could go. I, an old country lady like me, don't know anything, so I came here with all my strength."

Li He said, "I asked you what is going on at the woman's family this morning, but you haven't told me yet."

Mu Yin said, "It seems to be a high-ranking family. Grandpa is the leader, but my father is an ordinary person doing business and my mother is a university teacher."

Liu Yibo asked, "What's your name? Tell it and I'll find out for you. When the time comes, you'll find a middleman and I'll work as a matchmaker with him."

Everyone also looked at Mu Yin curiously. They were all teachers, and their friend circles were all over scientific research, schools, and public institutions. They knew everyone who had a little bit of a name.

Mu Yin said, "I know his grandfather's name is Yang Hao."

Everyone looked at each other, and Hu Yuanchao murmured to himself, "There are a lot of people named Yang Hao. Since you said he is the leader, then I know who it is."

He Fang said curiously, "I know two people named Yang Hao, but none of them are cadres."

Li He said, "It's really not like one family doesn't want to enter the same house."

Yang Hao is his old colleague. He and Chen Yun have worked in the same office for many years.

Liu Yibo said, "That colleague of yours? He hasn't lived in a single dormitory, has he?"

Li He said, "No, he is much older than us. Later he was transferred, so I rarely contacted him."

Hu Yuanchao said, "I'm familiar with you. If we meet at night, you have to take me with you."
