My 1979

To go to No. 1 Middle School, you have to go through the city center. Watching me squeeze you and you squeeze me in the narrow streets and alleys, Li He had to put the handcart on the roadside and wait to pick it up later.

I hailed a taxi on the side of the road and arrived at the school in about ten minutes.

The people in the security room were probably all newcomers, and Li He didn't know him, and they didn't know Li He either, but they didn't stop him. It was very common for people to visit relatives during the holidays.

He arrived at Mrs. Jin's house with familiarity, and he was surprised by the woman who opened the door.

"Li Erhe?" The woman said hello first.

"Who are you?" Li He couldn't wait to scratch his head. He must be impressed by this tall and elegant woman!

But I really can’t say the name for a while!

"Can't remember?" the woman reminded, "The one who has been sitting in front of you."

"Oh" Li He suddenly realized for a long time, he knew who it was. He had once given him a cake. He was considered a person who was grateful for the cake, but he couldn't remember the other person's name.

"Yeats." The woman said angrily, "Do you remember?"

"I'm really sorry." Li He was a little embarrassed.

"Er He is here?" Mrs. Jin has a very good ear.

"Hello, Teacher Jin." Li He entered the room to greet the old lady.

Old Mrs. Jin smiled and said, "I just came to talk to Yeats about you. You come around this time every year. I guess you should come. It just so happens that you are here."

"Yes, we were talking about you just now." Yeats smiled and served Li He a cup of tea.

"Thank you, don't treat me as a guest, I come very diligently." Li He took the tea cup with a smile.

"It's a convenient thing." Yeats didn't take it seriously.

"Teacher Jin, didn't you say you were looking for an aunt?" Li He looked inside and outside the room, but didn't see anyone extra.

Teacher Jin said with a smile, "Who is not at home to celebrate the New Year? I guess I will be back in a few days."

Li He nodded, "That's good."

Teacher Jin added, "You don't need to worry. I'm doing fine. Not to mention Yeats who comes to help me occasionally, your brother also often comes to deliver oil and rice, which makes me feel embarrassed."

Li He said, "It should be."

After spending a while at Teacher Jin's house, everything from the electrical circuits to the waterways were overhauled. This kind of old-fashioned dormitory is generally in disrepair, with no major problems but minor problems.

"You're quite capable." Yeats struck at the side and handed over the wrench with a smile.

"That's okay." Li He wrapped the waterproof tape and re-tightened the faucet. The water flowed down, and sure enough, it stopped dripping.

After finishing it, he wanted to say goodbye to Teacher Jin, and Yeats also went with him.

Li He walked in front. After going downstairs, he wanted to go back and talk to Yeats for a few words, but he didn't expect that Yeats was turning the tricycle around.

"I'm here to help you." Li He went up to help.

"No, it's just a matter of time." Yeats insisted and turned the car around, then nuzzled towards the tricycle compartment, "You sit on it and I'll take you wherever you want to go."

"Medium." Li He sat on the edge of the car. The car was filled with women's and men's bags and wallets.

"Where are we going, you haven't said yet?" Yeats turned around and asked after leaving the school gate.

"Where are you going?"

"It's not like you haven't seen that there are so many goods on the car. Do I have to go practice stalling?"

"I remember what grease factory you worked at before, right?"

Yeats shrugged helplessly, "Look, there are still a few oil factories that can survive, but they can't even pay wages."

"Then let me go and take a look with you?"

"Didn't you go to the party today?" Yeats changed the subject again.

Li He nodded, "I'll be back if I don't eat and drink well."

"Oh." Yeats pedaled with his head down and stopped talking.

After the car arrived, she began to set up the stall skillfully. Because it was close to the entrance of the market, there was a lot of traffic and there were many stalls.

"Big sale! Last three days! Big loss sale in the last three days!"

After she turned on the loudspeaker, she chatted wordlessly with Li He.

"I heard from Teacher Jin that you are doing quite well."

"Eating and drinking is not a problem, that's all." Li He said with a smile, "How are you?"

"Nonsense." Yeats adjusted the position of the wallet on his waist and said with a smile, "Do you think I can do well like this?"

"Can't the family help a little?" Li He remembered that her family was the best place to take care of the family.

Yeats smiled and said, "Both my parents are retired. I only have a small retirement salary and I have to worry about my brother's two children. I don't want to let my sister-in-law nag me every day just for a little money. It's okay, I Just one person can feed himself and the whole family will not be hungry.”

"You're not married?" Li He was surprised.
