Chapter 2 Don’t want to empty the urinal

Every particle of dust from the times that falls on an individual's head is like a sharp sickle.

At the end of the meeting, the crowd was not as eager and crowded as when they entered the door, but like a stream of water with insufficient water pressure, slow and stagnant. They went to the mountains and countryside at their best years and spent hard years. When they returned to the city, they had no jobs. Everyone

Confusion and worry were printed on his face, not knowing what the future would bring.

Huang Zhanying also became silent, riding crookedly, and after a while he said: "What positions do you think we will be assigned?"

"I don't know."

"You're not worried at all?"

"Didn't you say that the street will visit you? Just wait at home and you will know when the time comes."

"..."

Huang Zhanying stared at him without blinking, and suddenly said: "I noticed that you have become very strange recently. You used to be very preoccupied, and everything you thought about was written on your face. Why are you so heartless now?"

"At the age of 19, it's time to be more mature and free-spirited, isn't it?"

Chen Qi casually fooled him and said, "I'm going to the bookstore, are you going?"

"I won't go. I'll find someone else to find out more about the situation."

"Then I'll leave first!"

He waved his hand, kicked off his feet, and the Erba bar returned to the big fence with sparks, lightning, and thunder.

Dashilan is less than 300 meters from the east entrance to the west entrance, but it brings together the most exquisite things in the capital, such as Donglaishun, Tongrentang, Neiliansheng's cloth shoes, Ruifuxiang's silks, Zhang Yiyuan's tea, Liubiju's pickles, Daguan Tower

movies, Tianhuizhai's snuff, etc. However, during the flood of humanity, these time-honored brands have all changed their names and are still being restored one after another.

In addition, there is still a theater called Guangde Building, where a guy named Guo Degang will perform a few years later.

Xinhua Bookstore is also in Dashilan, only 100 meters away from Menzhang Hutong, and you can go to work right away. The Xinhua Bookstore head office is a state-owned enterprise at the department and bureau level, and stores in municipalities, districts/counties, are equivalent to subsidiaries or branches.

Chen Qi parked the car and took a look inside. There were many people inside, picking around the shelves of social science books.

A few years ago, bookstores were only allowed to sell nine categories of books, six of which were works by revolutionary leaders. In 1978, the National Science Conference was held, and the number of social science books gradually increased. In fact, what is so interesting about this stuff? But people are actually hungry for it.

A little girl was holding a copy of "Geographical Atlas" and reading it with gusto. There was also an old man who looked like an intellectual and was actually reading the English version of "China Travel". There were also some periodicals and magazines that published novels that were even more popular.

People pounced on it, just like Gorky pounced on the bread...

Chen Qi gently walked up behind a woman and shouted: "Mom!"

"Oh my god! That brat scared me to death!"

The woman turned around, she was in her forties, still slim and charming, it was her mother Yu Xiuli.

"Is the meeting over?"

"It's over."

"come over……"

She pulled Chen Qi out, went to the corner, and asked, "What did you say?"

"I heard that the general idea is to focus on collective cooperatives to accommodate unemployed young people like us."

"A collective cooperative? This is not possible..."

Yu Xiuli frowned and said: "Hey, we also received a notice saying that our children can take over. Your father is a salesman and works outside all day long. I am relatively stable in the store. Why don't I retire early and free up a position for you?

.”

"You are only in your forties, why are you retiring so early? Square dancing with the old lady?"

"What dance?"

"I don't need you anyway, I can do it myself."

"That's okay! The collective unit is inferior to others and earns less. It will be difficult to find a partner in the future."

"But I'm handsome, so I'll have no problem finding a partner!"

??????55.??????

He was confident, and Yu Xiuli greatly agreed. There was nothing he could do about it, his son was indeed handsome!

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. We'll talk about it tonight..."

Chen Qi didn't want to talk about it here, so he said instead: "Mom, I think that "Geographical Atlas" is very good. You can buy me a copy and I will go home and read it."

“You can read casual books in just one day!”

Yu Xiuli said, but still entered the store, and soon came out with a "Geographical Atlas" and said: "Don't run around when you get home. When your father comes back tonight, we will discuss it carefully."

…………

This large courtyard contains 7 inner courtyards.

Chen Qi's family is inside, which is about 20 square meters. His parents live in the inner room, and a bed is set up for him in the outer room.

There is no kang, so we burn briquettes in the winter, and there are power outages from time to time. To take a bath, go to a bathhouse, or wash at home. It’s troublesome at home. You have to boil three pots of water in a row, one pot for each person. One person sits in the house and washes in a big bathtub, and the other two sit outside.

Wait.

Toilets are also public, and every family prepares a urinal for use when they get up at night. When they get up in the morning, they run to the public toilet to empty it - Faye Wong has done this, and it means that she also gets up at night, huh.

Xinhua Bookstore is a good unit, but it can't compare with big factories. The workers in big factories are the envy of everyone. They take care of everything from birth to death. Chen Qi's family of three, both parents can make money, with a total monthly income of one hundred yuan

There is no pressure in life. Some colleagues have an old man and three or four children, which is called hard work.

At the current price level, rice is 19 yuan per catty, pork is 75 yuan per catty, and cabbage is 03 yuan per catty... The key is insufficient supply, and materials are in short supply. You need tickets to buy anything, and you can't buy without tickets even if you have money.

There is too much to say about tickets, so I won’t go into details.

It was already noon.

The sun finally broke through the gray-yellow clouds and shone into the house with a spring-like atmosphere. Chen Qi sat at the table and flipped through the "Geographical Atlas", which introduced many famous mountains, rivers, topography and landforms of the motherland.

and so on.

What was said in the meeting was unclear to others, but he understood it very clearly.

Just let these people join collective enterprises, repair furniture, make clothes, pop popcorn, open a canteen, in short, find a job.

This idea is correct. In 1949, there were 30,000 service outlets in Beijing, but now there are only more than 10,000. At the same time, the population has increased, and the needs of life are far from being met. With these people in charge, there is no need to worry about food.

eat.

The birth of collective enterprises is to solve the problem of employment. Property rights have always been vague and there are a lot of historical problems. But in the capital, they are better than self-employed businesses. The development of self-employed businesses in Beijing is relatively slow, and next year will be the first year.

Others reject collective enterprises, but he can go anywhere. It is a temporary place to stay anyway.

As for the long-term plan, in the early stages of reform, there are only a few paths:

Either pretend to be a cultural person and play scar literature, or find a job to survive, or go south to become a tycoon and get rich first and then die, or engage in film and television to attract Gong Xue, Zhu Lin, Li Jianqun, Tao Huimin, He Qing, Chen Hong, Lin Fangbing...

Of course he should do what he is good at.

"Speaking of which, this is a good time to rebel against Tiangang... But those days are too far away. I'll leave this shabby alley first. I don't want to empty the toilet anymore."

Chen Qi's mind fell to the ground, and he felt relaxed. He flipped through it and found a page with beautiful and majestic scenery.

"Lushan?"

He was happy and nodded: "I was born to be a fairy cave, with infinite scenery on the dangerous peak... Lushan Mountain is a good place!"

(Comrades, we meet again. We haven’t seen each other for several months and I miss you very much.
