My 1979

Early the next morning, Li He took He Fang to the train station carrying large and small bags.

I took the bus when I went there, and I took the bus when I came back.

This year's winter seems a little different from previous years, and there is a little more joy in the cold wind.

After getting off the bus, you could hear the buzzing gears of the welding factory from a distance, and there were some people at the door busy lifting the welded iron frames onto the tricycle.

Basically every residential area has small workshops with the nature of collective cooperatives, but no one expected that these small workshops would push state-owned enterprises to the point of bankruptcy in two or three years.

The first person to eat crabs is always making money, and his demeanor when he talks or walks is different.

Inadvertently, he will show his arrogance, "You said that the dead salary you get every month is enough for me to buy cigarettes."

"You said you're not a pimple?"

"He who has no money is a grandson."

Suddenly, this society seems to have undergone a qualitative change, and it is not so friendly to those who follow the rules.

Shoushan's family also came over, and Shoushan's father and daughter were calculating accounts with calculators.

Shoushan held his grandson in one hand and a ledger in the other, smiling from ear to ear.

Seeing Li He coming back, he handed the account book to Li He and said with a smile, "Take a look."

Li He didn't answer, waved his hand and said, "What's there to see? I just saw it last month. How should I say, is it a dividend? Or a stock purchase?"

Shoushan's father and daughter looked at each other, but they had already made plans in their hearts. The father and daughter had actually discussed it earlier, and now the hotel business is doing very well. This year's turnover alone is 150,000, which is twice as much as last year. If calculated in terms of dividends, it is only 15,000. Thousands of dollars.

But Shoushan had his own thoughts. If he exchanged it for shares, he could give the shares to his daughter and grandson. It would be a good deal no matter what.

"I'll use this dividend money to invest in shares."

Li He thought for a while and said, "My dividends will not be divided for the time being. I want you to open another restaurant. Do you think you can handle it?"

Shoushan said, "How can we be too busy? That boy Zhao Zunian has already left the army, just let him take care of it. Just find a few other handymen for the rest."

"Okay, your first-level dividends won't change, so you should take more care of things. I'll give you a five-point share of your fifteen thousand yuan. What do you think?" Li He felt that 5% The salary is already high enough.

He still wants to bind this family to him. Now that this family has skills and capital, they may not have the idea of ​​​​starting a new business.

Shoushan grinned. This was a waste of advantage. He was confident that the two restaurants could make 400,000 yuan or 50 yuan a year, and the capital would be repaid in less than a year. According to Li He's idea, one restaurant If two families become four, his Shoushan will not be able to make a fortune.

But he still asked politely, "Isn't it too much?".

"It's not much, but you have to work hard. I only have one request. Every time I open a new restaurant, I have to buy the property rights of the house." Li He is eager to imitate KFC. Its stores are more valuable than its own business. What is crazy real estate?

"Okay, anyway, the house is not valuable now, and it doesn't account for much capital." Shoushan also understood Li He very well. The concept of the older generation is that when you have money, you can buy a house and land, which is understandable.

Zhou Ping said, "Aren't you going home? Why don't you come with us to the countryside to celebrate the New Year? My parents-in-law are very kind people."

Her parents-in-law are also in the country, and a daughter has also stayed in the country to study.

Shoushan's son-in-law, who couldn't speak, also followed behind and echoed, "Yes, come to our place. I built a big tile-roofed house last year and I have a place to live."

Already accustomed to the heating, Li He didn't want to go to the countryside and suffer the cold. He said directly, "If you want to leave, hurry up. You have the children with you. If it's late, there will probably be heavy snow."

Shoushan knew Li He's temperament, so he didn't say much, so he hugged the child and left with his daughter and son-in-law.

When Fu Xia saw that the family had left, she put away the tea bowls on the table and washed them away.

During lunch, Fu Xia said, "That family makes a lot of money."

Li He said, "Do you regret it?"

Fu Xia said disapprovingly, "How is it possible? I earned as much as them last year. If you don't believe it, I will show you the account book later."

"Let's read it when we have time. I don't want to read it now." Li He felt a headache after looking at their shady characters. Besides, there were no strict accounting subjects in the account book, which made him even more confused. He could only roughly look at the total.

"Brother, I want to buy a sander after the year. I went to a furniture factory to see it. It is really good. It is much smoother than sandpaper."

"Just buy it, no one will stop you."

"Hey, I'll buy it then."

Throughout the afternoon, Li He didn't even leave the house, just reading newspapers and listening to the radio.

Fu Xia turned on the TV, eating melon seeds and watching TV.

Li He had never touched the TV set at home, and even He Fang rarely touched it. It was not interesting to watch.

But Fu Xia watched it with gusto.

Li He said to Du Xia, "Are you going to buy groceries or should I go shopping?".

Fu Xia looked at the time and said, "Ah, it's already five o'clock, then I'll go buy groceries quickly."

He hurriedly put on his coat, picked up the vegetable basket and went to the market.

Li He thought about taking time to take a bath, but he searched several drawers and couldn't find the bath ticket, which annoyed him.

He opened several drawers but couldn't find them.

When Fu Xia came back from shopping for groceries, he asked Fu Xia, "Is the bath ticket gone?"

Fu Xia said, "How would I know? I'm not at home all the time. It's not like you don't know."

"Hey, I'll go to Old Man Yu and ask for a few."

Fu Xia said, "Why don't you stay at home? It's not cold in the house anyway. I'll just put more water in the big wooden bucket for you."

A bathing ticket costs 50 cents, which is considered a high expense. Most people will take baths at home.

Li He reluctantly agreed, and he should take a shower at home. He was not very interested in the murky bathhouse. There were only a few shower heads, and he had to queue up.

Many people felt that it was unfair to spend fifty cents, so they had to soak enough money, so they brought some wine and peanuts and drank directly in it, and had to soak it again every hour. It was the end of the year, so Li He didn't even have to think about it. There must be too many people.

After dinner, Li He and Fu Xia carried the big wooden bucket into the house and poured pots of hot water directly into it.

After helping Li He find clothes and mixing water, Fu Xia said, "Take off your clothes and just go in."

Li He thought Fu Xia was an eyesore, so he kicked her out. Then he took off all his clothes and rolled directly into the barrel. He put his arms on both sides of the barrel and raised his head with his eyes closed. It felt so comfortable.

Just like that, he seemed to be falling asleep unconsciously. Just as he felt the water getting cold, he heard the splashing sound again. The water became hot again, and the ironing was very hot.
