My 1979

Chapter 205 Furniture

He Fang said, "The day after tomorrow, I have packed up my things in the past two days and started living together. Have you bought your train ticket?"

Li He nodded, "I bought it seven or eight days ago, one day after you. How is school?"

He Fang said, "That's it. I avoid the leaders when eating in the teachers' cafeteria. I'm afraid of meeting the leaders and being embarrassed to say hello. Look, this is the relationship between cadres and the masses in the school, which is almost the same as that of an agency. It's calm on the surface, but secretly The waves were rough."

Li He asked, "Are you hiding too?"

"You look down on people too much. Why should I hide? It's them who are hiding. When we were in elementary school, we were afraid of meeting teachers on the street, and would stay away from them if we did. Maybe they felt the same way. I'm not afraid of anyone. .”

Li He said, "Okay, you are great."

He knew He Fang's temper. If she pissed her off, no one would be able to get away with it. The key is that He Fang is extremely smart in everything he does.

During lunch, Li He asked Shoushan again about the restaurant. Shoushan said, "Business is very good, but it must be closed. Just like last year, you can't buy any food. Now you can just buy a bottle of vinegar, and there is a queue." Two miles of land.”

Although the market is developing more and more prosperously, by the end of the year, many materials are still in short supply, and there is still a shortage of supplies. The old rule is to pay according to the ticket.

By the end of the year, every household began to "reserve grain" and "reserve oil", which was tantamount to the outbreak of "World War III".

They are all prone to extremes. When buying groceries, they can be so stingy that they get beaten up for a penny, or they can be so generous that they cut off their heads and serve them as potatoes on the kitchen chopping board under the banner of giving someone a helping hand in times of need.

However, cloth tickets had withdrawn from the stage of history at the end of 1983.

As long as you have money, you can wear whatever you want.

The Shoushan family left after dinner and stayed in a hotel.

Old Man Li, however, thinking about being lonely during the New Year, went with Shoushan, taking two big yellow dogs and three puppies with him.

But Fu Xia said she would stay here for a few days and wait a few days before returning to the hotel.

Postman Jiang Hao delivered a lot of express delivery, most of which were newspapers and some periodicals sent by Yu Dehua from Hong Kong.

Li He said, "I heard that your boy is married, his face is shiny, and he is living a good life."

Jiang Hao smiled shyly, "It's okay."

Unable to find a wife in the city, his parents had no choice but to ask relatives and friends to find him a match in the countryside. The girl was first-rate in character, figure and appearance.

The only thing that dissatisfied his parents was that he had a rural registered permanent residence, and he would not have a job in the city.

The girl was no idler. She went to the city and started working as a tailor, and her income was higher than Jiang Hao's.

Jiang Hao was not ashamed, but proud. The couple's life was also prosperous.

On the day He Fang left, Li He helped buy a lot of things for her in the department store and sent her to the train station.

The train pulled into the station, He Fang got on the train, found her seat, and through the window, Li He stood outside the platform. It's only so close, but it's so far away, so far away.

Li He was going to take the train home tomorrow afternoon and didn't buy much at the department store. He thought that his old classmate Bian Mei was at the county department store.

In the evening, it was just him and Fu Xia. After dinner, Fu Xia helped Li He get foot washing water and put it in his room.

Go up and help him take off his shoes.

Li He hurriedly said, "I'll do it myself."

Before he finished speaking, Fu Xia had already helped him take off his shoes and socks, "Put your feet in, it shouldn't be hot."

Fu Xia suddenly cried thinking that Li He was leaving tomorrow.

Li He was confused, "Why are you crying?"

"I miss home too."

"If you miss home, go back and no one will stop you." Li He said.

"But how can I go back like this? People are still laughing at me. How can I save my parents' face?" Fu Xia hesitated.

Li He thought for a while and said, "Then go back after you have settled down. I will open a restaurant next year and you will be in charge."

Although Fu Xia was a little preoccupied, Li He had to admit that she was still wholeheartedly devoted to him and had no bad intentions.

"I don't want to work in a hotel anymore." Fu Xia suddenly said, "Brother, have you ever thought about it? Restaurants are the least profitable business here. Look at Li Aijun who has a broken leg, and Lu Bo who is also a lame. A month is more than our hotel earns in a year. So the hotel is not a good business."

Li He frowned and scolded, "How can you speak? It's so ugly."

"He's just a cripple." Fu Xia said aggrievedly, but seeing Li He's expression change, she hurriedly changed her words, "Okay, okay, they are all people with mobility difficulties."

"Okay, then tell me, what kind of business do you want to do? If it's good, I'll invest."

"Brother, make furniture. I want to make furniture." Fu Xia said excitedly.

Li He didn't laugh at Fu Xia's whims, but asked curiously, "Why do you want to make furniture?"

"Think about it, conditions have improved in recent years, everyone is very particular about getting married, and it's not just a few stools and chairs that can fool you. And I took a peek and saw that the imported sofa has a broken wooden frame. Stuff some sponge inside, add a few springs, and you can sell it for four to five hundred. And the mattress, it's the same thing. You said that the money earned is the same as the money blown by the wind. Ordinary people don't have furniture like this. I can't get it yet, brother, do you think this business is easy to do or not?" Fu Xia kept talking, and it seemed that he had planned it well from the beginning.

Fu Xia told the truth, "A sofa bed with modular furniture, and a black and white TV in the center. Three brick houses with cement floors, and a truck was rented to pick up the bride." This ridiculing catchphrase highlights the Chinese people's longing and desire for home in the 1980s. ideal.

Among them, modular furniture is on the same level as televisions. Young people who are getting married are no longer satisfied with 72 legs.

The living area of ​​many families is very small, and even the employees of the units live in "tube buildings". This kind of modular furniture appeared at the right time. It can be said that it condenses the functional design of furniture, and modular cabinets are a must-have furniture style for newlywed families.

If you want to buy some furniture, you have to go to the street to get a furniture ticket. However, department stores have also begun to have furniture departments. You no longer have to wait in long lines with furniture tickets to buy furniture across the country. In addition, furniture fairs have also become a new way to buy and sell furniture.

Li He asked again, "Making furniture is not that simple. I'm afraid you can't do it."

"Brother, I can do it. What I do is definitely better than what the furniture factory does. I saw that they almost all use yellow ash boards. They are so ugly and there are still people who want them. I don't believe that I can do it well but no one wants it." Yes." Fu Xia said firmly.

After listening to Fu Xia's words, Li He believed that she had put in the effort. Today's furniture is still mainly practical and is basically made of pure wood.
