The official way of rebirth

At the beginning of the new year, everything is new. The town government has officially started working on the eighth day of the lunar month. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which is noon of the Lantern Festival, Tang Yi received a call from his mother in the office. Xiao Jinhua's voice on the phone was very excited. The first sentence

That is: "Xiaoyi, come here, mommy kisses you!" As she said this, a "sizzling" sound rang out from the phone. It seemed that she was kissing the phone with her mouth.

Tang Yi was startled. What was wrong with my mother? I had never seen her so out of control in her previous life.

"Xiaoyi, Mom is right to believe you. Haha, I made money, and Mom accidentally made a war fortune." Tang Yi looked at the calendar on the wall, "February 29th", just yesterday.

The Gulf War was declared over. After 38 days of air strikes in Iraq, the United Nations ended the ground battle in just four days. The elite Iraqi Republican Guard was unable to fight back, which shocked all military analysts at the time.

"I didn't expect the war to end so soon. Haha, my mother has been shorting oil futures, and she made a lot of money this time!" Xiao Jinhua's voice was extremely excited, and Tang Yi smiled. At that time, not many people in the country really understood futures.

, but in the 21st century, even if you don’t play stocks and futures, you still have a general understanding of this aspect.

Short selling is also called buying and selling, because futures are not spot transactions. You can buy and sell short, which means you have no goods in hand. You can also sign a contract with someone to sell the goods when the price is high, and then buy the goods to close the position when the price drops.

This is buying and selling.

The war in Iraq started, and the price of oil soared. Everyone knew that when the war ended, the price of oil fell back. Everyone knew that it was best to buy and sell in the few days before the end of the war, but when the futures contract expired, the position must be closed. This ground

How long will the battle last? If it lasts long, if you buy short for a long time, you will lose money every time you close your position. Who would have thought that the ground war would end in four days? You know, before this war, Oriental scholars even thought that

This is another Vietnam War. The United States will pay an extremely heavy price in the ground battle, and may even withdraw its troops due to excessive casualties and unable to withstand domestic pressure.

After four days of fighting, only Tang Yi believed it, and Xiao Jinhua, who was half-convinced and believed in his son for the sake of believing in his son.

On the 28th, when the United States announced the end of the Gulf War, the oil price plummeted by more than 20 U.S. dollars. You must know that the oil price was only more than ten U.S. dollars a barrel at that time. During the Gulf War, it rose to more than 30 U.S. dollars, and the profit from short selling reached nearly 200%.

.

"Mom, how much money have you made?" Tang Yi knew that Mom's trading company was very small, and even if he really believed in himself, he wouldn't be able to make much money by putting all his funds in the futures market.

"Haha, I made this amount..." Xiao Jinhua smiled proudly. He probably stretched out his finger before he realized that his son was not in front of him. He coughed and said in a long voice: "One...one hundred...ten thousand!"

Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, one million? He said with some doubt: "US dollars?"

Xiao Jinhua said with a smile: "Of course, mom has mortgaged the company beforehand, just to bet on your vision, son. If you lose the company, it proves that you have shallow vision. Then how can mom rest assured that she is setting up a company outside? Just

I really want to go back to China to take care of you as the old man said! But I didn’t expect that, son, you really have a way with me!” Xiao Jinhua smiled heartily, but Tang Yi felt warm in his heart. He didn’t expect that his mother would have such thoughts.

This is probably a way of draining the firepower.

"Mom, today is the 15th, I thought you missed me that's why you called me!" Tang Yi suddenly complained in order to dilute the throbbing in his heart.

"Fifteen? Yeah, it's really fifteen. I've been so busy that I forgot about it. Xiaoyi, you don't know, a few days ago, the white employees under me looked at me as if there was something wrong with my brain.

After yesterday, when they look at me, they all have expressions of admiration, haha, my mother is really proud and proud." Xiao Jinhua's thoughts were jumping very fast, and it was obvious that he had not calmed down from the excitement.

"By the way, I sent you some money. You can buy whatever you like as a New Year gift this year." Xiao Jinhua paused and said, "I sent the money to Beijing. The old man should give it to you soon."

You can handle it." At that time, overseas personal remittances were still very inconvenient. Western Union had just cooperated with the postal service that had not yet separated from China Telecom. Not to mention Yanshan County, even Yanqing City did not have a Western Union outlet, so Xiao Jinhua had no choice but to remit the money.

Go to Beijing, and then remit it to Tang Yi's account from Beijing.

Before hanging up the phone, Tang Yi briefly talked with Xiao Jinhua about the situation in the Soviet Union. Although Tang Yi had also heard a little bit about the United States' Vantaa Plan being the main culprit in bringing down the Soviet economy, there were divergent opinions and inconclusive opinions, mostly rumors. 2.

I couldn't act like I had no idea in front of my mother, so Tang Yi didn't say much about these things.

However, Tang Yi was well aware of the sharp depreciation of the ruble after the disintegration of the Soviet Union. The decline reached 900% in the first quarter after the Soviet Union was disintegrated. Later, when the new ruble was issued, it seemed that one new ruble was worth one thousand old rubles. In fact,

According to the exchange rate between the US dollar and the old and new rubles, the old ruble has fallen fourteen thousand times.

So Tang Yi joked that if the Soviet Union disintegrated, the ruble would depreciate significantly. If we could use high-interest financing in the Soviet Union, or obtain a large loan from the State Bank of the Soviet Union, and then use the rubles to buy supplies, the Soviet Union would

Privatizing securities, or even directly converting them into US dollars, will definitely make a lot of money if the ruble plummets when the Soviet Union collapses. He also joked that if the old man is willing to speak a few words for his mother in front of his old friends in the Soviet Union and lend a huge sum of money, then this

Compared with this, the war wealth is just a drop in the bucket.

Of course, Tang Yi finally smiled and said: "Look at me, this is almost a dream. It seems like the Soviet Union is really going to disintegrate. Mom, don't laugh at me."

Xiao Jinhua did not laugh, and his voice gradually lowered: "Xiaoyi, mom is not here with you, you have to take care of yourself, don't think about politics all day long, don't, don't be too tired..."

Tang Yi nodded vigorously and whispered: "Mom... Happy Lantern Festival..." He wanted to say something more, but felt his nose was sore and couldn't speak anymore... Both ends of the phone fell into a slightly sad silence.

.

In the afternoon, Tang Yi, who had not yet gotten over the sadness of talking to his mother, received another call. Unexpectedly, the call was from Qi Jie's brother Qi Jun. He was very careful on the phone.

Speaking of the fact that today is the Lantern Festival and the family is having dinner in the evening, he said that his parents have repeatedly been involved in his sister's marriage and that he might invite a man introduced by others to meet his sister in the evening. Tang Yi heard this and smiled and said: "That's a good thing, your sister."

It’s time to find a boyfriend!”

Having said that, Tang Yi felt a little uncomfortable after hanging up the phone, but he was very busy with work and had no time to care about it, so he soon forgot about this matter.

…

It gets dark very early in the north in winter. When Tang Yi came out of the bank, it was not yet six o'clock, and night had fallen. The streets and alleys were brightly lit, and the colorful lanterns complemented each other. It was really beautiful, and the entire Yanshan County was decorated in a dreamy way.

It is so gorgeous, in comparison, the jade plate in the sky is dim. The streets are crowded with people, and people from all over the country come to the county to enjoy the lanterns. The Lantern Festival Lantern Festival in Yanshan started on the 15th day of the lunar month and has continued.

Half a month later, the 30th day of the first lunar month was the last day, and many people who had not had time to watch the lanterns also poured into the county on this last day.

After wandering on the street for a while, Tang Yi unknowingly wandered into Longjing Hotel. There was a sign "Closed Today" outside the hotel. The inside of the small restaurant was as warm as spring. Through the foggy glass, Tang Yi saw a round table inside.

, there were several people sitting, and the gorgeous Qi Jie was present. In addition to Qi Jun, whom he knew, there were two old people, who must be Qi Jie's parents, and an energetic young man with a black leather jacket, neat and energetic.

, full of heroic spirit.

Suddenly, she remembered the phone call Qi Jun made to her that day. Isn't this young man the one Qi Jie's parents wanted to attract her?

Tang Yi frowned and stood silently for a while. Looking at the smiling Qi Jie inside, he smiled, turned and walked into the crowd.

I watched a video at the workers' club, and when I went to book a room at the guest house, I realized that it was already full. Tang Yi smiled bitterly. He was so unlucky that even drinking cold water would choke his teeth. Did he have to sleep on the street today? At that time, Yanshan was just like a government guest house.

It's not bad. Tang Yi doesn't want to stay in a miscellaneous small hotel, so he might as well spend the night wandering on the street.

Looking at the watch, it was already past nine o'clock, the lights on the street were twinkling, and the number of tourists was gradually dwindling. Tang Yi stood by the light box in front of the wrought iron gate of the guest house, sighing, the only option was to find a cleaner hotel.

"Tang...Tang Yi? Why are you here?" The woman's clear and charming voice was very familiar. He knew who it was without turning around. Tang Yi sighed inwardly. The county town is really small, and he could meet her just by walking out.

.

Looking back, Qi Jie is walking on the brick road next to the guest house with a face full of surprise. Today she is wearing a black leather coat, black cotton stockings under the knees tightly wrapping her delicate legs, exquisite black leather boots, and more

A somewhat mature and charming peach flavor.

Tang Yi would never reveal his joy, anger, sorrow, and joy easily. He smiled and said, "Why are you looking at the lights alone?"

Qi Jie walked up to Tang Yi, took Tang Yi's arm affectionately, and said angrily: "Then who else can I see? Besides, how long has it been since we last seen? You came to the county town and you didn't even ask to see your sister!"

Qi Jie's body was warm, which helped Tang Yi drive away some of the chill. Tang Yi looked her up and down and said with a smile: "You are dressed beautifully today. What? Did you dress up deliberately?"

Qi Jie straightened her breasts and said with an air of dignity: "Sister, when will I stop being beautiful? It's because you didn't pay attention... Huh? What I said to you is a bit offensive!"

Tang Yi scratched his head and secretly cursed himself for being useless, why did he speak so sourly?

"Giggles, are you jealous?" Qi Jie looked at Tang Yi's expression and suddenly giggled, "What? Do you know about someone introducing me to a partner? Don't you want me to get married?"

After laughing a few times, seeing that Tang Yi looked wrong, he hurriedly stopped his smile, put his red lips to Tang Yi's ear and whispered: "Don't worry, I'm just sending him away... This guy is annoying to death, he keeps borrowing money from my parents.

Come to the small restaurant to find me in my name!"

The words were so ambiguous that Tang Yi felt relieved and suddenly felt funny. Who was she? Why did she feel so weird?

Qi Jie blinked her charming eyes again and asked, "Hey, why are you standing here by yourself?"

Tang Yi smiled bitterly and said: "Unlucky? No, there are no vacancies in the guest house. I'm planning to find a small hotel to spend the night."

Qi Jie frowned and said, "How can that be possible? The small hotel is too dirty." She thought about it again and said with a smile, "How about you go to my place and spend the night?"

Tang Yi was a little hesitant, but Qi Jie didn't care whether he agreed or not. She took his arm and walked toward the small restaurant, saying: "Why are you still holding on? It's so cold today, and there's nothing new about the lights. I can't stand it."

, let’s go home quickly and warm up!”

The small restaurant is on the second floor rented by Qi Jie. There are several empty rooms on the second floor used as utility rooms. Qi Jie also eats and sleeps in the hotel on weekdays. The room to the west is her bedroom. It is kept elegantly and neatly.

It was covered with cosmetics, the purple bedspread on the double bed was bright, the desk lamp gave off a faint pink glow, and with a faint feminine fragrance, it felt a bit delicate.

Tang Yi pushed open a utility room and looked at the messy things inside. He took it with him and frowned: "How can you sleep here?"

Qi Jie smiled and said: "Who asked you to sleep here? You sleep in my room." Tang Yi was taken aback and stammered: "I, I'm not used to living with others..." After saying this, he almost gave up.

I have such a big mouth, what can I say? Why do I seem to be a fool in front of her?

Qi Jie chuckled: "Hey, who will sleep in the same room with you? Look how beautiful you are! I went to set up a bed downstairs to sleep. Xiaoling didn't come home sometimes, so I bought a spring bed.

It's in the utility room, didn't you see it?"

Tang Yi blushed and said hurriedly: "I'd better go downstairs and set up a bed to sleep."

Qi Jie said: "That can't be done. There is only an electric heater downstairs, and the door is not tight. The wind is howling, and it is very cold in the early morning. How can your delicate body be able to withstand it?"

Tang Yi couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. Was this her tone to persuade him to live in her room?

"That's it. You take a shower and go to bed early. Don't you have to catch the 6 o'clock morning train tomorrow?" Qi Jie introduced the layout of the second floor to him. Next to Qi Jie's room is the bathroom. Installation

With the electric water heater, he could take a shower. Tang Yi smiled and said: "Why is there no bathtub? I haven't had a comfortable bath for a long time." This is true. Tang Yi really misses the life in the 21st century. Qi Jiebai

She glanced at him: "I'm waiting for you to buy it for me. I don't care how big the land is. Can I put it on it?"

Speaking of being in a public bathhouse in town, Tang Yi really didn't feel so comfortable. Looking at the hot water washing down the well-defined muscles on his body, Tang Yi smiled complacently. It seemed that his body was getting better and better since his rebirth.

He is strong and strong, and his energy is a bit scary. I once wrote a report all night long, and the next day I was still energetic and didn't feel tired at all.

After smearing "Lux" body wash all over his body, Tang Yi felt strange. These are all Qi Jie's personal items, right? Look at the bathroom. In the small white space, is this where Qi Jie bathes every day? Tang Yi

A picture of a sexy and voluptuous woman taking a bath appeared in Yi's mind, and she shook her head vigorously to put aside her random thoughts.

After washing off the shower gel on his body, Tang Yi posed a few complacently in the misty mirror, and then slowly dried himself with a towel. On the sink table where he was washing, a brand new toothbrush had already squeezed toothpaste, and he held it

It was placed neatly on the water glass, and Tang Yi felt warm in his heart. Qi Jie was really attentive. She must have put it for him when she just cleaned the bathroom. At that time, he was still strange, thinking that there were some women's things that he couldn't see.

It was very busy inside for a while.

Just after brushing his teeth and spitting out the water in his mouth, the light bulb in the bathroom suddenly flashed a few times and then went out. The small room was dark. Tang Yi hurriedly shouted: "Hey, stop making trouble! You can't see anything anymore." After saying this, he realized that

, outside the bathroom window, the entire county has fallen into a dead darkness, and the lights on the street are gradually extinguished.

Why was there a power outage during the first lunar month? It was also the closing day of the Lantern Festival. Tang Yi shook his head and reached out to fumble for the towel. He accidentally touched a ball of soft clothes. Then with a bang, the thing fell to the ground. Tang Yi suddenly remembered that he had taken it off himself.

The underwear was placed on the washing machine next to the sink.

He screamed in surprise and squatted down to touch it. The ground was wet and his underwear was soaked. However, he heard Qi Jie shouting from outside: "What's your name? I haven't called you yet. Isn't it just a power outage? What are you afraid of?"

Tang Yi touched the wet underwear in his hand and smiled bitterly. This meant that the house was leaking, it was raining continuously, the boat was broken and there was a strong wind, so he was unlucky today.

Qi Jie urged again: "Hey, I told you to come out as soon as you've finished washing. I'll wash your face, brush your teeth, and then lie down while it's still a little warm down there. It'll be freezing and snowing downstairs in a while!"

Tang Yi was so embarrassed. He hesitated for a long time. He couldn't stay here until his clothes were dry, right? He stammered: "Let me tell you, Qijie, do you have a change of underwear at home? I, I accidentally ruined my underwear."

Dirty..."

"Ah?" Qi Jie groaned and then giggled: "Hey, what's wrong with you deliberately taking advantage of me? I don't have any men's underwear here, how about you put on my underwear?"

"Forget it, forget it!"

"Oh, how about this? I'll make the bed, then go downstairs, and you quickly get under the covers for me, and I'll come back to dry your clothes." After a while, Qi Jie had an idea, and Tang Yi thought about it,

That's all it can do.

After waiting for a long time, she heard the sound of Qi Jie's high heels walking downstairs, giggling as she walked: "Hey, I told you to hurry up, or later I will come up and have sex leaked, and I will take advantage of you."

Don't blame me if you get an advantage."

Tang Yi ignored her teasing. When he heard her footsteps gradually coming downstairs, he hurriedly opened the door and rushed into Qi Jie's room. He opened the quilt, got in, and used his hands and feet to pull the limp

After pressing the quilt, he shouted loudly: "Okay! You can come up!"

This time Qi Jie did not enter the room to tease him. From the sound of rustling in the bathroom, Qi Jie should be helping him tidy up his clothes.

Qi Jie's quilt is light and warm, a double goose down quilt, and the bed is a soft Simmons bed. It seems that she knows how to enjoy life. Tang Yi has been lying on the hard bed in the town government dormitory for more than a month, which is a rare enjoyment.

The former petty bourgeoisie life.

The quilt was fragrant, and it was the fragrance of Qi Jie's body. Tang Yi lay naked, smelling the faint fragrance on the pillow, and couldn't help but feel wandering. There was a candle on the dressing table in the bedroom. The candlelight was soft, giving people a faint feeling.

reverie.

"Hey, the clothes are all hung up. They should be dry tomorrow morning. You go to bed early, I'm going to bed too!" Qi Jie's figure appeared next to the bedroom door, looking at Tang Yi with a smile on her face.

Tang Yi felt uncomfortable looking at her, as if she could see his naked body under the quilt.

"Then I'm going down." Qi Jie smiled and was about to go downstairs. Tang Yi nodded lightly and suddenly remembered something: "Qi Jie, isn't there a power outage? Can the electric heater be used?"

"Nonsense, do you think it can be used? Even if you still have some conscience, you still know how to think about me, but don't worry, it's just for one night and it will be over." Qi Jie smiled indifferently.

Not to mention the electric heater, the heater on the second floor is gradually cooling down now. There is a power outage in the whole city. Without a hair dryer, the boiler cannot burn at all. Tang Yi also felt that the temperature in the room was dropping a little bit. He couldn't help but frowned and said: "This power supply

Director, I think he doesn’t want to do it anymore! Doesn’t this discredit the county committee? Such a big flaw happened on the last day of the Lantern Festival.”

Qi Jie smiled and said, "Okay, I'd better save these for you to nag at the meeting. You can't nag me, a commoner."

Tang Yi was so choked by her that she couldn't speak, but why should he be justified now? He had no place to go today, his clothes were wet again, and he couldn't open his mouth even if he wanted to change places with her. He still had to swallow this cowardly anger.

Go down.

"Qi Jie, if we don't do this, we both won't sleep and stay in this room all night..."

"Go, go, go, what's the deal with a man and a woman alone?" Qi Jie gave him a blank look, turned around and stomped downstairs.

Smelling the faint sweet fragrance in his nose, Tang Yi couldn't sleep. He slept naked for the first time, but he happened to be in the bed of an unusually charming woman. The strange feeling couldn't go away, and with a "pop", the flame of the candle

After beating a few times, it gradually went out, and everything in front of me was pitch black. The full moon outside the window was as clear as water, and the faint moonlight fell on the bedside. After getting used to the darkness, everything in the room was clearly visible under the moonlight, adding a bit of hazy beauty.

Tang Yi didn't know how many times he turned over. In a daze, he heard subtle footsteps coming from downstairs, and slowly reached the second floor. Then the door was pushed open, the cold wind blew in, and a black shadow flashed in.

Tang Yi was startled and looked closely. Under the moonlight, Qi Jie's face was a little blue. She curled her hands in front of her chest, rubbing her hands and exhaling. It seemed that she couldn't bear the cold.

Tang Yi couldn't help but smile: "What? Didn't I tell you to stay in this room? You have to suffer."

Qi Jie turned back and closed the wooden door of the bedroom hard, her whole body was still trembling, Tang Yi asked curiously: "Is it so cold?" Qi Jie looked very thickly dressed, with a black leather jacket draped over her body.

Qi Jie said angrily: "I only have this quilt, and I don't like Xiaoling's quilt. I want you to lie downstairs for a while with your clothes on and try it!"

The heating had long since become cold. Although the bedroom was warmer than downstairs, it was not much warmer. Qi Jie paced back and forth to drive away the coldness on her body, and suddenly shouted: "Never mind it, it's better to be embarrassed than to be cold."

Damn it!" He said, taking off his black leather coat and throwing it on the dressing table. He ran to the bedside in a few steps, kicked off the velvet cotton slippers on his feet, lifted the quilt while Tang Yi was stunned, and got in with a squeak.

Bed.

Tang Yi was so frightened that he almost didn't jump up. Fortunately, the quilt between them was wide enough and Qi Jie occupied less than half of it. He pressed the quilt between the two of them and said, "Don't worry, I can't touch you! Let's deal with it like this all night."

Well, I can’t destroy your innocence!”

Tang Yi smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid of ruining your innocence."
