My 1979

"Hey, has the fat guy found a partner?" Pandi is familiar with several of He Zhou's good friends, especially the fat guy. "Is he about the same age as you?"

He Zhou called his third aunt into the room, then said with a smile, "It's about the same size."

"What is the target like?" She was very curious. After all, the situation of the fat man and his family was different from that of ordinary people.

He Zhou said, "The girls in the countryside to the south of the city are pretty good, but they can't speak, but they can hear and write. They seem to have graduated from elementary school."

Brother Pan said, "That's really not easy. Don't forget to remind me when that kid gets married. I'll have to give him a gift. That's what I grew up watching."

He Zhou said hello and went into the house to boil water and make tea.

When she came out of the kitchen, she saw her third aunt and her mother staring at each other.

He could feel that Third Aunt was holding back her ultimate move.

He was hesitating whether to stay away a little, seeing a mother and daughter fighting was quite inhumane. Just as he was hesitating, he heard his third aunt say, "If you feel itchy, just tell me, who gave you this habit, day by day."

He Zhou suddenly became energetic and said, "Third aunt, don't be angry. As for the child, don't embarrass her too much. Just give her a beating and give her a complete childhood."

"Why is your business everywhere?" Kuang Shanshan did not dare to confront my mother, but it did not prevent her from competing with her brother.

Pandi said with a straight face, "Who taught you to talk to your brother with this attitude? It's getting worse and worse."

"It's just, it's just that it deserves a beating. A naughty child can just give it a good beating." There was a broom knot on the corner of the door. He was afraid that his third aunt would not be able to find anything convenient for a while, so he really wanted to hand it to her with his own hands.

But, wouldn’t this make me look too bad?

Kuang Shanshan glared.

He Zhou pretended not to see it.

Pandi said, "Okay, don't be embarrassed. Let's go home. It will be dark soon."

Kuang Shanshan wanted to say a few words of objection, but looking at my mother's face, she finally decided that it would be better to be sensible and said nothing.

He Zhou said, "If you drive, I will take you there."

Pandi said, "You don't need to send me off. My car is parked at the alley in front. Do you want to go to my place at night and show me my skills?"

He Zhou said, "Let's go tomorrow. I've been out for a walk today and don't want to move anymore. Oh, by the way, let me learn art. Let her learn it. The path is wider. Does the art school require cultural courses? High, she can break into a book with just 200 or 300 points."

Pandi said, "You still don't understand her temperament, how can she be lazy, you think she can be a star like this, her singing is not as good as mine."

He Zhou said, "Let her give it a try. No matter how good or bad she is, she won't be able to blame you in the future. Besides, our family doesn't care about the expenses. If she really passes the exam in the future, everyone can find a way for her." .”

Pandi said, "I didn't have much hope for her. Is it so easy to be a star? Find something for yourself to do when you have nothing to do. You said so, so let her do whatever she wants."

"Thank you, mom, you're the best." Kuang Shanshan almost jumped up with joy.

After He Zhou sent his mother and daughter away, he saw that the time was already six o'clock.

I felt my stomach and felt a little hungry. It was impossible to cook for myself. I locked the door and went out to find a restaurant. I had a plate of braised pork and a big bowl of noodles. I almost couldn't bear it.

After returning home, he took a shower and played games until one o'clock in the morning. When he woke up the next day, his mother was sitting opposite him.

"You're too scary. Can you give me a ring? You're so cold." He couldn't help complaining.

Zhaodi said, "Okay, you don't want to sleep, what can I do?"

Her original intention was not to disturb her son and let him sleep a little longer.

He Zhou asked while folding the quilt, "Why do you have time to come today?"

Since the third grade of junior high school, my mother has been in the provincial capital. He couldn't imagine why she would come back suddenly.

Zhaodi said, "I heard your grandma said you won't go back to the county, so why don't I just come and see you? I bought breakfast for you in the living room. You should brush your teeth and wash your face quickly and eat something. You are young and you have breakfast every day, morning and evening." My stomach is ruined.”

He Zhou said, "I only occasionally wake up late on Saturdays and Sundays so I don't eat. I'm usually pretty accurate."

Zhao Di carried the trash can under the computer desk outside. After entering the house, she saw He Zhou making tea and said, "Drinking tea so early in the morning is not good for your health at all. Drink more boiled water."

"I know." He said this, still not putting down the tea cup in his hand, and kept blowing it, "Yesterday Shanshan came and had a conflict with her third aunt. She wanted to study art, but her third aunt didn't let her go. In the end, I persuaded her and she agreed.”

Zhao Di said, "That girl can't be too accommodating. Please tell your third aunt more about her. If things are like this now, you may not know what will happen in the future."

He Zhou put down his tea cup and took a bite of the big steamed bun. The juice from the steamed bun overflowed. He quickly wiped his hands with a tissue and said with a smile, "She's pretty good. Qiu Li is just a riot. Let me tell you, I really want to beat him up in the future." Well, don’t be too surprised.”

"Why are you slapping your second aunt in the face? Your second aunt hurts you in vain." Zhao Di said with a cold face, "If you can't tolerate people in your eyes, what will you do in the future?"

He Zhou argued, "No one can tolerate others anymore. The key is that this little bastard is too annoying. I have tolerated him for a long time."

Zhaodi said, "Why don't you say that I have tolerated you for a long time?"

He Zhou sang loudly, "Only mothers are good in the world. A child with a mother is like a treasure, and a child without a mother is like a piece of grass."

"Shut up, you are crying like a ghost." Zhao Di quickly stopped and said in a dumbfounded voice, "You are so old and you are not serious yet. Can I discuss something with you?"

"Are you sure it's a 'discussion'?"

He Zhou bit the last two words very hard. His mother is a domineering strong woman and is used to bossing around.

Between mother and son, the mother has always given instructions. As for whether the son listens or not, that is another matter.

In short, there is no discussion between the two.

Zhao Di glanced at him and said angrily, "You still resent me? Can you tell me what I did that wasn't for your own good?"

"Yes, it's for my own good." He Zhou grew up hearing this and was a little tired of it.

But no matter what, he couldn't contradict his mother too much.

Zhaodi said, "In the future, everything will be yours as soon as I kick my leg. Now I can calm down and learn more. With experience, I feel relieved."

He Zhou said, "Old lady, can we have a good chat about kicking and not kicking? You are saying these unfavorable words during the Chinese New Year. Am I an ordinary person, your son? The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Maybe you are not as good as me." .”

Zhao Di said with a smile, "Mom has nothing but nothing. It takes a lot of effort to know two words. You must be better than mom. Mom's greatest pride is you."

"I'm a little embarrassed when you praise me so much." He Zhou smiled and put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Old lady, did you take the wrong medicine today? I feel weird when I listen to you talking."

Zhao Di smiled, how she wanted to say, I was criticized by your father!

She was also happy to be criticized. At least she knew that he still cared about the children.

"Come to work in the company, don't think about starting a business or not. In our time, according to the current newspaper, it was called barbaric growth. You could become a boss with one hundred and eighty yuan in your hand, and just set up a stall. To make a fortune, how bold a person is and how productive the land is.

To put it bluntly, if you are a little bolder and willing to work hard, there will be no shortage of opportunities to get rich. The key is that there was little competition at that time and the market supply was insufficient, so as long as there was a product, the market could digest it all.

Things are different now. Starting a business is not that easy. There is so much competition in all walks of life, the profits are too thin, and the capital is low. It is completely impossible to do it.

Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps. If you are not careful, you will jump off the building. In recent years, I have seen many companies collapse with my own eyes.

You can only see a few good things and cannot see more unlucky things. "

Moreover, there are many dark sides that she did not tell her son.

There are still many hidden costs in running a business. These costs can be covered in the era of huge profits, but they cannot be covered in the era of meager profits, making it increasingly difficult for enterprises to survive.

He Zhoudao, "Now is the Internet information age, and the threshold for many industries is very low. Why can't we start a business?"

Zhao Di shook her head, "Silly son, Mom doesn't know much about computers, but I don't believe you when you say the industry threshold is low. Do you know how many people come to me with plans to invest?

The plan is lavish, everything is ready, everything is ready, only one programmer is missing.

None of these people can do practical things.

Capital is king, industry segmentation, I don’t need to explain these words to you, you understand what they mean, right?

Let me give you a simple example. Small businesses like opening hotels and convenience stores were something big capital would not bother to do in the past. But look at it now. Are there economic hotel chains and convenience store chains everywhere?

Especially near many business districts, there are all brand chains. From now on, they will definitely be spread in every community, and those self-employed people will not be so comfortable.

And the kind of small loans you did last year, called inclusive finance, are actually personal loans. In the past, banks did very little, and the loan conditions were very strict. Big capital did not do it, and only some private capital did it. Three points of interest, five points of interest, don't worry about not being able to let it go, and no one will borrow it.

Your uncle Guangcai has advanced money to others, and the highest he has ever done is 10 cents.

Now, big capital has become involved, and some banks are following suit. Where can those who previously engaged in private lending still have business?

If you give someone three points, they will dislike it.

Do you think the threshold is too high or too low?

The capital is not big, and many industries cannot be used at all.

According to my opinion, this vegetable seller might be able to open a chain store in the future. "

He Zhou was stunned for a moment by what his mother said. This was the first time that my mother had patiently said so much to him.

He had to admit that Jiang was still too old and everything he said was right, but many of his ideas were still too childish.

He said with a smile, "Competition is everywhere, and the space for personal performance will become narrower and narrower in the future."

Zhao Di said, "Just understand this truth. Don't argue with me. I'm not ignorant about your mother. Be good and come to the company to work in a few days. If you don't like Pujiang, then go to Pujiang. I've already talked to Liu Cheng Cheng has agreed that she will make arrangements for you when the time comes."

"What are you going to do?" He Zhou was no longer as resistant as before.

Zhao Di said, "You can choose whatever you want. I won't force you. Just start with whichever area you are interested in, okay?"

He Zhou said, "You have said so. If I don't go, will it be disrespectful to me?"

Zhaodi patted her legs and stood up and said, "Don't act like a good boy just to get an advantage. I'm going home now. Do you want to come back with me?"

Now Zhao Chunfang is the only one at home, and she is worried.

Although the relationship with my mother is not good, she still wants to fulfill her responsibilities as a daughter.

He Zhou said, "I will go back to Pujiang tomorrow. I have spent enough time at home."

Zhao Di said, "Let Lao Wu drive you. I don't trust you driving on the highway alone."

He Zhou waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and do your business. I'm young and in good health. More than seven hours is nothing. I'll call you when the time comes. Just leave me alone."

When Zhaodi saw what he said, she didn't say anything more. She was about to leave, but her son grabbed her arm. She asked, "What are you doing again? Can't we run out of money?"

He Zhou touched his nose and said sheepishly, "That can't be done. I haven't touched the five million you gave me yet."

"Oh, if you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten to ask, how is your relationship with that girl from the Shi family? If you have time, keep in touch. We can go out to eat or go shopping. If you don't have enough money, I will transfer it to you." Zhao Di said very grandly.

He Zhou said, "Looking back, she's not interested in me, and I'm not interested in her either. I think it's better to let nature take its course."

He was not used to my mother being so generous all of a sudden.

Zhaodi said, "Don't say these useless things. I'll see the results directly when the time comes. Tell me quickly what's going on."

He Zhou said, "Qu Yang, do you still remember?"

"Do I look like Alzheimer's?" Zhao Di asked back.

He Zhou said with a smile, "He has found a partner. You also know his family situation. It is not easy to find a suitable partner. I have always gotten along well with him and I want to help him."

Zhao Di said, "I won't object to you giving him one hundred and eighty thousand. Is it worth asking me about such a thing?"

"No, it's better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. Have you heard this saying? Rather than giving him a fish directly, it is better to teach him to fish." He Zhou said the manuscript he had typed several times in his belly. , "I want to help him find a long-term and stable business."

Zhao Di smiled and said, "That's good. Isn't he working as a chef? Let him open a restaurant."

He Zhou snapped his fingers and praised, "You are still smart. This is a good idea. Opening a restaurant is a good business and suits him well. You have never tasted the dishes he cooked. The taste and color are definitely first-rate. Yes. The location of the hotel is not bad, and the business is not bad either.”

Zhao Di rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't give me the ecstasy soup. You must have this idea yourself. Tell me, do you want me to find a place to open a restaurant?"

He Zhou gave a thumbs up and said, "You are wise. Actually, you don't have to look for it. Isn't there a product exhibition hall opposite the machinery factory? I heard that a new exhibition hall is going to be built, so the original one will be unnecessary?"

Zhao Di smiled and said, "Did you have a premeditated plan?"

He Zhou said, "Isn't this a coincidence? It would be a waste if the old exhibition hall is empty."

The county's machinery factory is an old state-owned enterprise in the 1980s. It mainly produces steamed bun machines, rice steaming cabinets, dumpling machines, screw cleaning and tailing machines, steamed bun rolling machines and other food machinery. Later, due to poor management, it became insolvent and the county became insolvent. Find his wife here.

Then his wife took over this big burden in the county, and now it is one of the top food machinery companies in the province.

Zhao Di smiled and said, "I never take care of those stalls. I have to ask to know the situation."

He Zhou quickly took out his mother's mobile phone from her bag, handed it over and said, "Help me."

Zhaodi accepted the phone helplessly, and after dialing, she said a few words casually.

He Zhou had been listening attentively. After listening, he smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom."

Zhaodi said, "From now on, it's all yours. What can I do to thank you? Okay, is everything okay? I'm just going to leave?"

He Zhou walked her to the door, greeted the driver, Master Wu, opened the door himself, bowed and said, "Queen Mother, please go slowly."

Zhaodi smiled and rolled her eyes at him.

On the way back, Master Wu saw that she was happy, and he rarely talked much and said, "Xiao Zhou is becoming more and more sensible."

Zhao Di smiled and said, "I am sensible when I am using you. I think you are an eyesore when I am not using you. You are a snobbish kid."

Master Wu smiled and said, "The kid is really good. My kid is two years older than him. That's nonsense. It's been two years since he graduated from college and he hasn't worked seriously. He said he wants to do business. I still get the money to open a KTV. If you don’t do this seriously, you’ll be pissed off.”

Zhao Di smiled and said, "Old Wu, you have been with me for twenty years, right?"

Master Wu smiled and said, "Just do the math. I was 21 years old when I was discharged from the army. As soon as I came back, I drove a truck for you and partnered with that guy Li Hui. I am 47 years old this year. Do the math. Twenty It’s been more than a year. If you count it carefully, it’s 102 days short of 26 years.”

Zhaodi said, "How about it? Have you considered retiring, or I can make other arrangements for you."

Master Wu said, "Mr. He, don't get me wrong. I have no other meaning when I tell you this. I am happy driving for you. You haven't even retired yet. How can I have the shame to say retirement?"

Zhao Di said, "You and Li Hui followed me at the same time. He is now very powerful and his business is huge. Don't you have any other ideas?"

Master Wu smiled and said, "What kind of temperament do I have? You still don't understand? Man, I have understood it a long time ago. Everyone has their own destiny. I don't have what he has. How can I live my life with peace of mind?" .

Besides, those who don’t know think I’m just your driver, but you know that you’ve always taken care of me. I’m in a good position, and I’m not short of money. I get millions of dividends every year while I’m at home. What else can I not know? Enough.

Sometimes, I'm quite cool. I'm a multimillionaire after all. No one can look down on me when I'm out, right? "

He is not in the business place, but when people in the business place see him, they have to say hello to him. In the county, he walked sideways, and anyone who saw him had to call him brother.

This is the reason why the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door is like this.

Zhao Di smiled happily after listening to his playful words. She continued, "You are getting older. If you really can't bear it in the future, you must tell me that I feel different now than before. I used to run a boat and become a grown-up." Su Chengsu stayed up all night, weighed hundreds of pounds of oil drums and sacks, and even though he was tired at the end of the day, he could recover the next day. But now I can't do it anymore. I can make mistakes just sitting around in the office, and I'm very sleepy all day long."

Master Wu smiled and said, "Mr. He, you haven't had a full-body examination this year, right? How about you go to the province the day after tomorrow and I can make an appointment for you in advance?"

Zhaodi waved her hands and said, "Let's talk about it later, I don't have the energy to worry about it."

Master Wu smiled and saw that he had no intention of annoying her, so he continued, "Mr. He, as long as you are here for one day, I will drive for you for one day until the driver's license is revoked."

Zhao Di said, "You dare to drive, but I don't dare to sit. Okay, I'm serious. Your eldest grandson has just been born. You should pay more attention to the family. Then, you choose the person who will take over. You have chosen Master, I’m sure I’m at ease.”

Master Wu said, "I understand Mr. He."

The sun rose slowly, and through the glass, he saw the light shining on that tired face, and her eyes had been closed.

He stopped bothering her.

The sun fell straight into the yard.

Mr. He moved a mat and sat in the yard to bask in the sun.

He sipped his tea comfortably and sent a message to the fat man, asking him to come to his house.

The fat man replied that he didn't have time to fry chestnuts.

He Zhou replied angrily: I have a bad cold.

Then, the phone turns off.

Before he finished his pot of tea, the fat man ran in panting.

"Why don't you go to the hospital?" The fat man squatted down and pulled He Zhou onto his broad back before He Zhou could speak.

"Holy shit, let me down." He Zhou couldn't even resist. After all, the opponent's tonnage was there, and he almost lost his waist during the struggle.

"If you are sick, you have to go to the hospital." He was about to run outside with He Zhou on his back.

He Zhou punched the fat man on the shoulder vigorously, "Damn it, fat man, I'm not sick. Ouch, you strangled me."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The fat man quickly let go.

There was a pop.

He Zhou sat down on the ground, grinning from the fall. The fat man came over to help him in a panic. He quickly waved his hand to stop him, "Fat man, keep your distance from me! I'm really impressed by you!"

It’s simply your own fault!

Putting his hands on the ground, he reluctantly stood up.

The fat man stood aside, at a loss.

He Zhou patted the dust on his butt, went back to the house, washed his hands, took the car keys and went out. After asking the fat man to get in the car, he said, "Come on, I will take you somewhere."

The fat man said, "You really don't want to go to the hospital?"

He Zhou said, "I told you, I'm not sick."

The fat man asked curiously, "I'm not afraid of trouble. I have time to take you to the hospital."

He Zhou was speechless for a moment, knowing that he couldn't explain it to him, so he said no more.

After driving for about ten minutes, the car stopped at the entrance of the machinery factory.

The machinery factory is located on the east side of the county. It was originally a suburb. However, with the expansion of the county, the largest shopping mall in the county has been built not far away.

Opposite the factory is a two-story steel structure exhibition hall. He Zhou stood at the door and was about to call his mother's contact number, but he didn't want someone behind him to push the door open.

The person who came was a tall and thin man, about forty years old, wearing glasses. He glanced at the car parked at the door, took the initiative to extend his hand to He Zhou and said, "Are you He Zhou? Hello, I am Dai Yinting."

He Zhou shook hands and said, "Hello, Mr. Dai."

Dai Yinting smiled and said, "Mr. He has already given the order, let's go, come in with me."

The fat man followed the two of them, full of suspicion.

"How big is it?" He Zhou followed Dai Yinting upstairs and downstairs and looked around. In fact, there was nothing interesting to see. There was nothing in the room except garbage.

The building is very large. The floor is made of cement and is in a mess. It’s all made up of discarded wrapping paper, foam board, and dusty tape. The walls are made of plywood, and not a single piece is complete.

Dai Yinting said with a smile, "The upstairs and downstairs are all 480 square meters."

He strolled to the middle, opened a small door, pointed outside and said, "This doorway belongs to us. You can hire someone to build a kitchen yourself."

He Zhou stretched his head and looked outside. The back of the exhibition hall was a wasteland.
