Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Chapter 73 No Character, No Life
It is difficult for people decades later to understand Sui Youzhi's desire for motorcycles, the kind of mood that would rather sell a kidney than buy an apple!

To be precise, it is stronger than buying an apple.

Thinking day and night, Sui Youzhi watched eagerly in the department store every day.Looking at the motorcycle with a displacement of only 49CC, I fantasized about riding on it and riding fast!
Hearing Wang Weidong's words, Sui Youzhi stretched out his thumb to Wang Weidong and said, "Weidong, the first time I saw you, I thought you were a friend worth making!"

He has selectively forgotten the fact that he tricked Wang Weidong to make him pay more than 300 yuan for dinner when he saw Wang Weidong for the first time.

Now that Wang Weidong had turned on the flashlight, Sui Youzhi planned to climb up along the beam of light.

He pretended to be pondering and said: "Since you said so, Weidong, I really have something to do now. I want to buy a motorcycle but I'm a little tight. See if you can give me the right price. of?"

Wang Weidong, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, pretended to be embarrassed and bowed his head without speaking.

"Weidong, it's only three hundred! I'll return it to you when I have money in a few days." Sui Youzhi said pitifully.

Wang Weidong raised his head with difficulty and replied: "It's okay if it's one hundred yuan. I want to go home and discuss it with my daughter-in-law if you borrow so much. But since it's not easy for you to open your mouth once, I will pay 300 yuan even if I go home and turn against my daughter-in-law." Pick it out!"

Sui Youzhi finally let go of his heart when he heard Wang Weidong being so righteous.

"I invite you today, Wei Dong. From now on, the two of us will be friends regardless of each other, so don't be polite to me!" Sui Youzhi said.

He has never traded at a loss, and it is really a bargain to exchange this wine for 300 yuan.

"You will wait for me outside the factory at noon tomorrow, and I will give you the money." Wang Weidong said.

"Okay, okay!" Sui Youzhi said repeatedly.

After eating, Sui Youzhi took out [-] yuan to pay the bill, then walked out while supporting Wang Weidong's shoulder.He was a little unsteady after drinking more than half a catty of Beidahuang.

"Weidong, you have to be more careful and don't mess with me, otherwise everyone's faces will be ugly!" Sui Youzhi said, breathing heavily.The first half of this sentence is for Wang Weidong, and the second half is for Ou Xiaoyang.

Wang Weidong never thought of playing Sui Youzhi, and he found an excuse not to lend money to Sui Youzhi the next day, and he didn't want to offend the villain.

At noon the next day, not far from the factory when Wang Weidong walked out, he saw Sui Youzhi coming out from the lee of the corner. He was still holding a bottle containing a pale yellow liquid in his hand.

Wang Weidong took out 300 yuan and handed it to him. Sui Youzhi quickly took the money and put the bottle on the ground to count the money, then said to Wang Weidong with a smile on his face: "Weidong, you mean what you say! I will go to the department store to pick up my motorcycle now." car!"

The bottle contained the gasoline that Sui Youzhi got. He planned to find a place to practice after buying the motorcycle.

Looking at Sui Youzhi's excited back, Wang Weidong said silently in his heart: "Go!"

Back at the factory, the workers had just finished their meal and were resting, and Wang Suzhen was the only one in the office.

There is no sign of Ou Xiaoyang in the past few days. Someone introduced Ou Xiaoyang to an announcer of a TV station.

The children of the old leader's family have no one to make the people below worry about it.In the past two years, these people have introduced many partners to Ou Xiaoyang, but Ou Xiaoyang has not liked any of them.

Now there are few TV stations, the scale of the TV station is also small, and there are fewer TV programs. Every day, there are only a handful of programs such as news broadcasts and weekly songs.

The announcers are all beautiful, dignified and generous, with high professional quality.

Ou Xiaoyang fell in love with that girl as soon as he saw it, and of course the girl also liked him.What girl wouldn't like someone like Ou Xiaoyang?

Ou Xiaoyang took the girl to the radio factory once and met both Wang Weidong and Wang Suzhen.

Of course both Wang Weidong and Wang Suzhen greeted the girl with smiles, but as soon as the two walked around the factory, Wang Weidong noticed that the smile on Wang Suzhen's face disappeared.

"Weidong, I never asked you, why did you marry a dumb girl on your terms?" Wang Suzhen asked.

"He's a nice guy." Wang Weidong replied.

"What do your daughter-in-law's parents do?" Wang Suzhen asked.

"Same as my parents, they are workers of Xiangyang Chemical Factory." Wang Weidong replied.

Wang Suzhen looked at Wang Weidong and said seriously: "You are right to do this! The most important thing to find a partner is to look at character! Without character, there is no life!"

Wang Suzhen's wife is more than ten years older than her, which was normal in the 50s. The old man used to be a cadre of the provincial party committee, and has retired and lived at home for several years.

The old man was deeply grateful to Wang Suzhen for not drawing a clear line with him back then, so although he is very dissatisfied with Wang Suzhen's absence from home every day, he dare not say anything.

"There are more and more messy things in the society now. If your wife is worthy of you, you should also be worthy of your daughter-in-law!" Wang Suzhen told Wang Weidong like an old cadre talking heart-to-heart.

There are indeed some bad phenomena in the society, but the old lady can't understand some normal things, for example, the young men and women who talk to the old lady hold hands in the street, and the old lady doesn't like it!

Wang Weidong is very close to the old lady Wang Suzhen, his grandma and parents are such people.Everyone is living in a stage in the tide of the times, and it is impossible to force everyone to keep up with the pace of the times.

Today Wang Weidong went out to send money to Sui Youzhi and came back to see Wang Suzhen wearing flower glasses and reading a newspaper from home.

"Weidong, do you know what a computer is?" Wang Suzhen asked suddenly.

Last September, during the Women's Volleyball World Championships, Mrs. Wang paid special attention to the women's volleyball game.The first game was at noon. Mrs. Wang put her ear on the radio to listen to the game broadcast. When the Chinese team lost [-]-[-] to the American team, Mrs. Wang was depressed. When the Chinese team won one game after another Victory, and finally Mrs. Wang burst into tears when they defeated the host Peru [-]-[-] cleanly.

Since then, Mrs. Wang has developed a strong interest in computers, something that is still very unfamiliar to people, because she heard a sports commentator on the radio saying that the reason why the US team beat the Chinese team was because they used computers for training.

"Don't you old man use the computer every day?" Wang Weidong pointed to the big abacus on the desk and replied.

"Be serious!" Wang Suzhen said, knocking on the table.
