1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 624: Valentine’s Day and Singles’ Day are all commercial hype
……

"Hey! These shameless guys, they are a little bit embarrassed now."

It's no wonder that Luo Tao was angry and said harsh words. It's really that these people don't know the heights of heaven and earth. My father-in-law and mother-in-law have worked hard for many years to serve the people, and they have lost these three bungalows.

This house was allocated in the [-]s, and it belonged to the old lady and her work unit. The old man didn't want the house allocated by the school at all.

In his words: "Three rooms are enough for a family of three. Living here is close to the hospital. If you live over there at the school, it will be inconvenient for your mother to go to work."

Also, I like to live in bungalows, not tube buildings. "

This was said so well. I didn't want to cause trouble to the unit, but it also indirectly spread a lot of dog food.

They are really upright and upright. People of their generation put the interests of the country before personal interests.

There will be many opportunities to split rooms later, and the two elders have never had such greed in their hearts.

Take the house allocation last year as an example. The second elder still did not only think about himself, but directly gave it to others. His level of thinking is not comparable to that of ordinary people. He is always content with what he has.

But now this group of people behaves a bit like villains. Where did this come from?They then focused on the house where the two elders lived now, and they even used morality as a high-sounding argument.

[My son-in-law is so rich and his family doesn’t lack a house. Isn’t this taking advantage of society? 】Such remarks definitely ring in the ears of the two elders.

They are intellectuals with very gentle personalities and are not good at arguing with others.

Good people are bullied!

After comforting her for a few words, he turned off the lights and fell asleep.

The next day, Luo Tao went to the leader of the hospital and asked him for an explanation... to reflect on this matter.

If this evil person takes action, the effect will definitely be different. It is absolutely impossible for the hospital leaders to do such immoral things.

In addition, some explanations were given for this matter. These were inappropriate remarks made by a very few individuals who were overly emotional and spoke in private.

He also severely criticized those people and promised that such a thing would never happen again in the future.

Luo Tao also knew that he didn't dare to really do this. Today's visit was just to remind him to take care of the people below.

Meals can be eaten indiscriminately, but words cannot be said indiscriminately.

At noon, Luo Tao and Zhu Lin took the little girl to the mother-in-law's house in Jinyu Alley.

"Mom and Dad, it's the same for you two elders. If something like this happened at home, why don't you tell us?"

"It's not a big deal, what are you talking about? Don't worry about it, your mother didn't know who it was when she said it yesterday? The rumors and rumors spread outside should not be true." At this time, the old man is still very Be personable and not angry or upset.

Luo Tao was dissatisfied with this. Even if this matter were placed on him who had been reborn for a lifetime, he would not be able to reach this point.

"Dad, whether this is true or not? Now that the news has come out, we can't take it seriously. It's a bit bullying. I went to Dean Sun Zhengdao this morning and reported the situation to him. After two days, Whether it's rumors or there are people who really have this intention, it's almost enough."

The old couple heard that Luo Tao went to see the hospital leader in the morning. Instead of praising him, they criticized him a few times.

The criticisms made by the two elders were also responded to one by one.

Luo Tao and his wife stayed for more than two hours. After nothing happened, they were ready to go home. At this time, it was impossible to persuade them to move to Mianmian Hutong.

When I went out, I ran into several acquaintances in the yard, and Luo Tao exchanged warm greetings with each of them.

They all also mentioned to Luo Tao the recent rumors in the courtyard.

Luo Tao also revealed that he meant to warn those people, no matter who it was?Occupying this house depends on whether he lives or not.

Everyone is tired of living, and they don't even look at the bullies.

Leaving Jinyu Alley, "Did the guy named Chu just move in last year? He has a sinister look and his eyes spin around when he speaks. At first glance, he is not a good person."

Zhu Lin glanced at Luo Tao doubtfully, "Have you seen all this?"

"What? This guy is really not a good person?"

Before, Luo Tao relied on his intuition and felt that the man named Chu he met in the front yard did not seem like a serious person. But now he heard the meaning of Zhu Lin's words and realized that this person was really not a good person.

"I heard that medical ethics are not good enough and he accepts red envelopes from patients' families."

Ho!He is quite up-to-date with the trend of the times. In this day and age, the capital city is still too reluctant to accept red envelopes. This is really bold enough.

Collecting red envelopes from patients' families is nothing if it were done in the South. There are many private clinics in many places in the South, and there are even more part-time doctors.

In an open and market environment, few people can resist the temptation of money.

"Who did you hear?"

"Aunt Liu from the Intermediate Hospital, her grandson had diarrhea and asked him for two pills. Later he asked her for two yuan."

Oops!This incident tells us that we should not offend people casually in normal times, and if we are not careful, we may bring ourselves even greater troubles.

However, it’s true for Aunt Liu. Almost all the people living in the courtyard are doctors. If she doesn’t take care of the medicine for diarrhea, can’t she find someone else?I had to go to the front yard to find the new one.

I wanted to trick the newcomers, but I didn't expect that I would be tricked by the newcomers instead.

Stealing chickens will not lose rice.

The joys, sorrows, and joys in this large courtyard cannot be described clearly in a few sentences. There are neighbors who help each other, and there are also those who fight openly and secretly. There are all kinds of birds in the forest as big as it is.

It is happiness to live next to sensible people, but suffer misfortunes to live next to petty people.

In this way, the matter of the old couple moving has been put on hold for the time being. Let's talk about it after this wave of rumors has passed!
February NO.14, from the Chinese point of view, this day is just the ninth day of the first lunar month. Yesterday was July [-]th. The river opened on July [-]th. The weather became warmer and the river ice melted. From then on, the temperature in the north changed from Cold turns to warm.

According to Western thinking, this day is extraordinary. To use a poem to describe it: Spring is here, the season of resurrection of all things, and the air is filled with the smell of hormones!

To be more specific: With the advent of the wet season, heavy rain falls on the dry land, and everything begins to become restless.Spring is here, and the season of mating is here again.

The special day NO.14 in February rings the bell of spring.

This day is Valentine's Day in the West.

As for foreign festivals, they have become very popular among Chinese people in recent years.Valentine's Day in the West has been favored by some intellectuals as early as the Republic of China.

But at that time, this day was not called Valentine's Day. It was Valentine's Day (lover) in English, which obviously did not mean a lover. The literal translation should be just a personal name, translated into Valentine, or Valentine.

As for why it is related to love, there are several theories, and except for one of these theories, which is related to Yona, the god in charge of love and marriage, the others are related to Valentine.One theory: There are currently two explanations in Western academic circles for why Valentine's Day became "Valentine's Day".

One reason is that during the Lupercalia Festival in ancient Rome, married women gradually asked the priest to be whipped by the priest.

After it was used to treat infertility, it evolved into a day for lovers to bless each other, and then became one with Valentine's Day. Another explanation is that ancient people believed that February 2th was the beginning of birds going into estrus and choosing mates, and people pushed birds to attract people. It is believed that young men and women should also choose their spouses on this day, or at least should express their best wishes to each other and express their feelings.Since this day happened to be Valentine's Day, people continued to use the word Valentine.

Over time, the word "Valentine" became synonymous with "lover".

It is only after the reform and opening up that Western Valentine's Day has truly integrated into the lives of ordinary people. With the development of the economy and the improvement of people's living standards, we have an objective material basis for accepting foreign cultures. "Foreign festivals" have also begun to be favored by Chinese people.

However, there are so many "foreign festivals". Businessmen are the most sensitive people in celebrating these festivals. They are good at seizing business opportunities and creating consumption hot spots.

When something big happens in the world, these people are the most sensitive.

Before the war started, these grandsons went abroad to avoid the limelight.

Some festivals that were not known to ordinary people in the past have gradually become a major festival that must be celebrated through the hype of this business. This is the development trajectory of Valentine's Day.

There is also a Singles' Day in China, which is a hyped foreign festival. This is not Jackma's original creation. It is another step on the road that has been walked by its predecessors.

As early as the early 80s, there were young couples celebrating Valentine's Day in the south. Fortunately, everyone is still very restrained about foreign festivals. In the memory of previous lives, it seems that after [-], it was called crazy.

The common people didn't like to talk about it, and even talked about it personally to promote it. In the [-]s, a rose could be sold for more than [-] yuan.

In my previous life, I had been fooled by these profiteers.

Back to the present, the north, especially the capital city, is now also infected by that bad old man who wants to eat chicken.

In order to attract business, they did everything they could, and they set up a set meal for couples, and there were discounts for couples to eat.

This is particularly shameless, using delicious food and discounts to create commercial gimmicks.

Since they opened in Qianmen, Beijing, last year, the two have been competing in the fast food field. In the past six months, there has been no shortage of battles between the two.

Xichang Fast Food relies on the advantages of local companies to compete with this giant in the Western catering industry and has not fallen behind.

They are playing tricks, and Xichang naturally cannot lag behind. Since yesterday, they have launched a couple's set menu, and the dishes are as close as possible to love, even the rice is buckled in a heart shape.

It looks weird, but it attracts a large number of young couples to taste it.

As soon as today is the official day, the three floors of Wangfujing store are full.

Not only young people, but also middle-aged and elderly couples go to eat couples' set meals.

Shen Zhi didn't know what means to use, but in just one or two months, he really deceived Xia Zijun... No, the two fell into a youthful and green love affair.

"Do you think they succeeded? Or didn't they succeed?"

Zhu Lin played with a pot of roses and smelled them again and again. She didn't know what she smelled.
As Valentine's Day comes, their relationship as an old couple will naturally not be as romantic and indulgent as when they were younger, but they still have to have a little bit of romance.

Others always give each other a bouquet of roses, but in Luo Tao's view, that seems too inconsiderate, so if you want to give it, you can give it a pot.

Only in this way can it appear that the affection is sincere, and the most important thing is that there is romance and it will not be wasted.

A bouquet of roses only lasts a few days, but a pot of roses can accompany two people until they grow old together as long as they are well cared for.

If you want to raise a pot of roses well, it is like two people live together, you must learn from each other, understand and tolerate each other.

"Why are you still entangled in this issue? Didn't I tell you earlier? Since Xia Zijun doesn't object to Shenzhi's invitation, it means that he also means so." Luo Tao closed the book in his hand.

"No, as a woman, don't you know more about this?"

She sniffed the red flowers, looked at Luo Tao playfully, and said with a smile, "I don't understand like you."

cough!He was given another army by Zhu Lin.

"You..." shook his head and smiled bitterly.

........................................................................

After the New Year, the land of China ushered in the largest wave of migrant workers entering cities.

Last year, many enterprises needed rectification, among which township enterprises were the most serious. There were no jobs available in these townships, and farmers in slack had to find ways to earn money.

It is impossible to make a fortune by cultivating a few acres of land.

After the Chinese New Year, many people go south to Pengcheng, Yangcheng and other my country's most dynamic cities to seek a way to get rich.

But they never imagined that last year not only towns and villages needed rectification, but also enterprises in the city needed rectification. They didn't know that many projects were canceled due to some reasons.

The city couldn't provide them with a way to make money for a while.

As the taste of the new year fades away, the train going south is filled with car after car of farmer uncles who have simple dreams.

A city went from accepting tens of thousands of migrant workers to accepting 10,000+ or ​​even more. This is far beyond the maximum capacity of a newly emerging city.

Railway operations have also faced the most serious challenge in history.

NO.16 A meeting was held to discuss this matter. Most people at the meeting believed that migrant workers should be encouraged to return to the city.

According to the previous example, this matter is over. If the top issues an order, the bottom can immediately execute it.But on this issue, Luo Tao once again took a different approach and voted against it.

He believed that it was better to block the situation than to remove it, and even poured cold water on them by saying that persuading them to return might not be effective.

It is suggested that the government should strongly support the reform and develop several distinctive districts in the big cities in the south to attract foreign investment and encourage capable enterprises to start new businesses to create more jobs.

The idea is very good, but it is very scholarly and a bit idealistic. Under the current situation, the higher-ups will naturally not adopt it.

The suggestion is good, but it is not in line with the current actual situation. In the final analysis, it is just a suggestion and cannot immediately solve the employment problem of these people.

As for urban construction, the higher authorities know that this is a slap in the face and cannot be solved by wishful thinking.

After the meeting, the leader specially called Luo Tao to the office, and talked with him for half an hour, not to criticize, but to ask him what city in the south is suitable for a characteristic area...

"Monthly Ticket Recommendation Ticket"
