Life 1984

Chapter 175: Arrogant at the front and respectful at the back [Please subscribe]

Li Yunhai had a smile that understood the world, which made it difficult for Commissioner Zhao to continue pretending to be busy at work.

Commissioner Zhao put down the pen in his hand, rubbed his hands together to warm them up, and then dry-cleaned his face. His face immediately became rosy, and his whole person looked energetic.

He looked at Li Yunhai with sharp eyes and asked with slight surprise: "Are you the section chief of the Information Section of the Provincial Bureau of Commerce? Are you so young?"

Li Yunhai replied calmly: "If you have ambitions, it's not your age, and if you have no plans, you can live a hundred years. Gan Luo paid homage to the prime minister in the twelfth year, and Ziya went fishing in the Wei River."

Commissioner Zhao laughed loudly, waved his hand and said, "Interesting. Why are you here?"

Li Yunhai stated his intention directly, and then asked about the number of computers and office equipment in various agencies in the region.

Commissioner Zhao was taken aback and said with a confused look on his face: "Oh, I didn't do statistics on what you said. I have heard of the famous saying that computers should start from babies. But the specific situation needs to be analyzed in detail. Places like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou are richer than us. Children in big cities must learn computers earlier. But our Meishan area is a poor area in the country. There are still hundreds of thousands of people under our jurisdiction who have not yet solved the problem of food and clothing. What do you think of us? Where can I find the money to buy a computer?”

Li Yunhai had just seen many offices along the way, but he did not see a computer or a copy machine.

He estimated that there was not even a single modern office equipment in this office building, and the most advanced one was a mechanical typewriter.

Before computers and printers became popular, mechanical typewriters were the main office tools in government agencies.

There is a group of farmers in Meishan who run around repairing typewriters.

From the 50s until the late 80s, typewriter repair was considered a good craft.

As early as the 50s, the price to repair a typewriter started at 50 yuan. At that time, the salary of workers in Beijin City was only more than ten yuan.Repairing a typewriter is worth several months' salary of a worker.

By the 80s, the number of people repairing typewriters skyrocketed, and the cost of repairs also rose to one to two hundred.

What’s interesting is that the people engaged in this field of repair are all farmers in Meishan. They have mastered certain typewriter repair skills, so they dare to go out to repair typewriters. If they encounter someone who can repair it, they will repair it. If they encounter someone who cannot repair it, they will turn around and leave , no one knows him anyway, no loss of face.

Many Meishan people made a small fortune during this period and went home to build buildings.

However, starting in the mid-to-late 80s, various government agencies began to popularize computers, printers, and copiers. Faced with these new office equipment, the hard-working Meishan people began to delve into new technologies and settled down.

Li Yunhai wrote in his investigation notebook and said: "Commissioner Zhao, then I can record zero. Right? The number of computers is zero, and the number of modern office equipment is zero."

Commissioner Zhao wiped his face and realized that the investigation work done by Li Yunhai was not simple. He asked tentatively: "Will this investigation be handed over to the province for review?"

Li Yunhai smiled slightly: "Of course I will. Now the country is popularizing computers for office work, and every province and city has to set up computer centers. But you don't have one here. I think you are at the bottom of the province, right?"

Commissioner Zhao smiled bitterly: "Brother, our area is really poor. If you don't believe it, let me show you the data. A batch of poverty alleviation funds have just been distributed in this province!"

Li Yunhai expressed his understanding and said that among the 14 prefecture-level administrative regions in the province, the Meishan area is in the middle of the province's map. Logically speaking, the indicators should not be ranked at the bottom.As for the poor population, there are still about [-] million in our country, and each prefecture-level city has a varying number of poor people.The problem is that this index has nothing to do with the development of your city department.If all your funds and allocations are used to lift the poor out of poverty, then I have nothing to say. Otherwise, with the same finance and the same allocation, why can other regions achieve modernization but not the Meishan area? Woolen cloth?
His words were aggressive, like a sharp knife piercing people's hearts.

Li Yunhai said again, even your administrative office is like this. I don’t need to visit, but I know that all the schools in your area don’t even have a computer, right?The so-called computer started from a baby, I'm afraid it's just an empty talk for you.

Commissioner Zhao blushed, touched his chin, and remained silent for a long time.

Li Yunhai glanced at him and said: "Is office equipment expensive? There are second-hand computers for sale at Sihai Store in Xizhou, and they only cost 4000 yuan each. Second-hand copiers only cost 1 yuan each. Even The provincial bureaus all buy second-hand machines from their stores. Our commercial bureau also buys second-hand equipment. With the least money, we can solve the biggest problems."

Commissioner Zhao's eyes flashed: "Really? So cheap?"

Li Yunhai said it’s so cheap. You can buy 10 computers for only 4 yuan. I don’t believe it. All the government agencies, enterprises, institutions, and schools in your area can’t even afford 4 yuan?Or should you say that you have pooled all the funds and used them to solve poverty alleviation problems?So, how much money have you invested in poverty alleviation and what achievements have you made?How many poor households have been lifted out of poverty and become rich?

Commissioner Zhao did not expect Li Yunhai's words to be so sharp, and was stunned and unable to answer.

Li Yunhai closed his notebook and said, "Commissioner Zhao, I'm sorry to interrupt your work. With a good leader like you who works hard and takes care of everything in the Meishan area, poverty will be eradicated and the four modernizations will be realized soon. I'll take my leave."

Commissioner Zhao suddenly stopped him: "Chief Li, please wait a moment."

He stood up and walked out, laughing and saying: "Chief Li, please go slowly. I want to treat you to a meal."

Li Yunhai said there was no need to eat. If Commissioner Zhao has anything to do, just ask.

Commissioner Zhao said with a smile, we did not pay attention to the development of modern office equipment before, nor did we pay attention to computer learning in schools. How about this? We will go to Xizhou and go to the Sihai store you mentioned to buy computers.

He pointed at the notebook in Li Yunhai's hand and said with a smile: "This is the data, do you think it can be changed? We have bought computers now, which can be regarded as office equipment in our region! We can't be at the bottom! If this is If the leaders of the province see this, what will they think of us? Chief Li, can you be accommodating in this matter?"

Li Yunhai thought for a while and said, "Okay, I won't submit this report until next month. If you want to purchase it, please do it as soon as possible!"

Commissioner Zhao said that we will send someone to the provincial capital tomorrow to purchase. Please leave your contact information with Section Chief Zhao. After we purchase, we will report the quantity to you, which will save you another trip.

Li Yunhai left a business card for him and said: "I know exactly how many computers and copiers the Sihai Store sells every month, and which units purchase them. Commissioner Zhao, as long as you purchase them, I will The quantity will be known immediately.”

Commissioner Zhao was secretly shocked!
Good guy, this is a warning to prevent us from lying about our purchase quantity.

Li Yunhai walked out, and Commissioner Zhao rarely saw him off in person.

Shao Yuqing was still waiting outside. When he saw Li Yunhai coming out, he stood up with a smile and said, "Comrade Li Yunhai, it's rare for us to meet here, let's have a meal together? When you arrive in the Meishan area, do you want to go back to your hometown?"

Commissioner Zhao heard this and asked, "Is Section Chief Li from our Meishan area?"

Shao Yuqing said yes, Section Chief Li is from Shiban Village, Baixi Township, Meishan County, Meishan Prefecture.

Commissioner Zhao exclaimed, saying that he is a fellow villager, so we will be more friendly. He also said that there are people in the court who are good at becoming officials. Chief Li is from Meishan, and he should make more contributions to his hometown and take more care of the development of Meishan.

Li Yunhai said, "How can I be so virtuous and capable?"Can I take care of you?Commissioner Zhao, you think too highly of me.

Shao Yuqing, however, kept praising Li Yunhai's face, saying that the last time I went to the provincial capital to run for poverty alleviation funds, I couldn't even get through the provincial office gate. Later, I asked Comrade Li Yunhai for help, and then I met the Jin leader led by Lin. noodle.Thanks to Leader Lin’s intervention, the poverty alleviation funds in our area were able to be distributed so quickly.

Commissioner Zhao was shocked when he heard this!

Shao Yuqing had just reported these words to him alone.

But he didn't expect that the person who played a key role in it was actually Li Yunhai in front of him!
The smooth distribution of poverty alleviation funds in the Meishan area this time was due to Shao Yuqing's activities in the province.

After Commissioner Zhao found out, he specially summoned Shao Yuqing to encourage and praise him.

When Shao Yuqing reported on his work just now, he gave a detailed report on his trip to the provincial capital, especially the part where he was summoned by Lin Zhenbang, which was the most glorious moment in his life, so he spoke with great enthusiasm, like a storyteller.

After hearing this before, Commissioner Zhao felt that President Li, who was helping Shao Yuqing, was worth making friends with.

At this moment, Commissioner Zhao asked in confusion: "Shao Yuqing, didn't you just say that the person who helped you was Chairman Li of the Provincial Association? Why did he become Section Chief Li again?"

Shao Yuqing laughed loudly and said: "Commissioner Zhao, Section Chief Li is President Li, President Li is Section Chief Li, they are the same person! They are all Comrade Li Yunhai."

Commissioner Zhao exclaimed: "That's it! Chief Li, nice to meet you! It turns out you are the president of the provincial association. I have been famous for you for a long time! How lucky I am to meet you today!"

In the office just now, he did not shake hands with Li Yunhai, but now he took the initiative to extend his hand and shook hands with Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai handed him a cigarette before, but he didn't take it.

Now he took out his cigarettes and handed one to Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai is a person who knows how to advance and retreat. His official position is higher than yours, so he can show off in front of you.But you can't be ignorant, take the cigarette immediately and say thank you.

Commissioner Zhao patted Li Yunhai's arm and pointed at Shao Yuqing: "I'm treating you to lunch, so don't leave. After all, we are still from the same hometown. I am also from Meishan County. I studied in Meishan County No. [-] Middle School!" Meet fellow villagers and have a meal together! How about that?"

Of course, Shao Yuqing couldn't ask for it and was flattered.

He just said inside that he wanted to invite Commissioner Zhao to dinner, but Commissioner Zhao refused without thinking, saying that he was busy with work and had no time to accept your invitation.

As a result, Commissioner Zhao now wanted to treat him as a guest, which made him smile!

Of course, Shao Yuqing also understood that the person Commissioner Zhao wanted to invite was Li Yunhai, and he was just taking advantage of Li Yunhai.

When Li Yunhai saw Commissioner Zhao being so kind, he couldn't refuse. What's more, it was lunch time soon. We had to eat anyway, so why not eat him?He said, "Commissioner Zhao, there is no need to go out to a restaurant, just go to the canteen of the administrative office for a work meal."

Commissioner Zhao said good, turned around, and told his secretary: "Notify the canteen to cook some side dishes. I want to treat you."

The most shocked person was the secretary.

He had completely looked down on Li Yunhai before. How powerful could a small section chief from this province be?
When we get to our office, why don't you look at my face?
Unexpectedly, Li Yunhai suddenly transformed into Commissioner Zhao's guest.

Just by looking at Commissioner Zhao’s hearty smile, you can tell that he is trying to please Li Yunhai!
It can be seen that this small section chief has a big background!
The secretary was stunned for a moment, agreed, and quickly notified the cafeteria.

Commissioner Zhao looked at the time and said, "It's getting late. Let's go to the canteen while chatting. Come on, guys, please come over here."

Li Yunhai also called Zhuang Yong.

Ever since they fought the Japanese together, their relationship has become even closer.

Zhuang Yong also feels that Li Yunhai is a moral, responsible, responsible and ideal boss who is worth following.

And Li Yunhai also felt that Zhuang Yong looked big and thick, like an iron tower, but in fact he had delicate and rich inner feelings and an innocent heart, which was worth getting to know.

A group of people came to the canteen of the administrative office.

The master chef of the canteen has been notified and cooked a table of delicious dishes.

A regional administrative office often has to entertain superior leaders who come to inspect the work, and some leaders like to make surprise attacks.Therefore, the canteen is stocked with a lot of good wine and good food, and it is normal to be able to prepare several tables of good food at any time.

Commissioner Zhao led people to a private room in the cafeteria and asked Li Yunhai to take a seat.

Li Yunhai refused to take the position of chief at any cost, saying that Commissioner Zhao was the parent officer of our Meishan area and that Commissioner Zhao should be invited to take the position of chief.

Commissioner Zhao stopped being polite and sat down in the middle.

After a while, two waitresses began to serve the food.

When Li Yunhai saw this posture, he thought to himself that this was not a restaurant, but the food was even better.

A tall, beautiful and dewy-looking waitress stayed in the private room to serve.

She picked up the wine bottle gracefully and filled a glass of wine for everyone.

The wine in each cup is exactly filled, not a drop more, not a drop less.

Li Yunhai was secretly amazed when he saw it, and he wanted to be the number one scholar in his career. I am honest about this. Even the job of pouring wine is quite particular!

Commissioner Zhao picked up the cup and toasted Li Yunhai with a smile: "Chief Li, you came from the province to inspect the work, and you are our leader. I must toast you for this first glass of wine. You must give me face. You must drink it.”

Li Yunhai picked up the cup. This was a three-cent wine cup, which was about 15 milliliters.

Drinking from such a small cup, he was able to fight with others, so he smiled and clinked a cup with Commissioner Zhao and drank it all in one gulp.

The waiter next to him immediately came forward, filled Li Yunhai's glass with wine, and then poured it for Commissioner Zhao.

Shao Yuqing stood up with a smile, raised his glass and said, "All of you here are my leaders. I'd like to propose a toast to you all. I've done it. Leaders can do whatever they want."

After saying that, he finished the glass of wine and made a slurping sound in his mouth.

This was the first round of wine, and everyone was in high spirits, so naturally they drank it all.

After the wine has passed three rounds and the dishes have passed the five flavors, the atmosphere at the wine table will become casual.

Commissioner Zhao intentionally or unintentionally told Li Yunhai about the frustrations of his official career, saying that he had been in a mediocre position for many years and had not moved up even a step.

That half step is like the stars in the sky, difficult to pick.

Li Yunhai found it hard to accept this.

Because he is not the leader of the organization department who comes to inspect.

Li Yunhai cannot intervene in the transfer and promotion of Commissioner Zhao.

But Li Yunhai understood that Commissioner Zhao intended to get closer to Lin Zhenbang.

He would only keep such things in mind and would not say them in front of everyone.

Commissioner Zhao said that if he had the opportunity, he would go to the provincial capital and invite Section Chief Li for a drink. He also hoped that Li Yunhai could say more good things about his hometown in front of Leader Lin.The greater the official position of people from the hometown, the more beneficial it is to the countryside.

This statement is simply more straightforward.

Li Yunhai just persuaded him to drink and did not accept his words.

Because they had to work in the afternoon, everyone stopped drinking. After being drunk for three minutes, they stopped pouring wine.

After dinner, Shao Yuqing asked Li Yunhai if he would go back to his hometown.

Li Yunhai thought for a while and said that he would not go home today and would come back when the family was having trouble!

Shao Yuqing said goodbye with a smile and went back to his hometown first.

Li Yunhai also bid farewell to Commissioner Zhao, saying that he would go to other departments to investigate.

In fact, he felt like a mirror, these units and schools definitely did not purchase computers and office equipment.

But Li Yunhai still had to run. During the conversation, he could promote Sihai Store in a timely manner.

With so many units across the province, they will definitely need to purchase office equipment in the future. It is just a matter of time.

Basically, in the next few years, the popularity of computers will reach an astonishing rate!

Not only provincial and municipal government agencies, but also county-level agencies, enterprises, institutions, and schools will be equipped with a certain number of computers.

Commissioner Zhao took Li Yunhai's hand, and said as if you and I are brothers, "Chief Li, don't worry, all the major institutions in our city will purchase computers. I will count the quantities and send them to you later." Here it is, saving you an extra trip. Well, you don’t have to fill in the number of office equipment in our city for now. When we finish purchasing, you can fill it in and submit it again, okay?"

Li Yunhai said yes.

Commissioner Zhao patted the back of his hand and kept nodding: "That's great, that's great! Chief Li, you are a loyal person!"

Li Yunhai left the administrative office and went to other units and schools in the area.

Anyway, he has a gold medal to protect him, and he can freely enter and exit various institutions under the guise of investigation.

As he expected, the penetration rate of computers and office equipment in the Meishan area is basically zero.

They were busy until six o'clock in the afternoon, when all units got off work, and Li Yunhai and Zhuang Yong returned to Xizhou.

It takes more than an hour to return to Xizhou from Meishan.

Li Yunhai sat in the passenger seat and looked at the vast dusk outside.

Suddenly there was a woman waving on the roadside. When she saw that Li Yunhai's car had not stopped, she became even more anxious. She kept waving her hands and even ran to the middle of the road to stop the car at the risk of her life.

It's freezing outside and the north wind is howling.

"Stop the car!" Li Yunhai shouted, "We hit someone!"

Zhuang Yong stepped on the brakes in time and said with a smile: "Actually, we can bypass her. This person must want to hitch a ride."

Li Yunhai rolled down the window and felt a biting coldness.

He asked loudly: "Sister, what are you doing? Don't you know it's dangerous to stop a car like this?"

The woman is in her thirties, and she is accompanied by a teenage girl. Judging from the way they are dressed, they are both from the countryside. Their clothes are still patched, but they are still clean.

The woman clung to the car window and said loudly: "Comrade, are you going to Xizhou? We have an urgent matter and rush to Xizhou, please give us a ride? Okay? It's so late, there is no one going to Xizhou The shuttle bus is here. I'll pay you for your travel expenses." Li Yunhai asked Zhuang Yong for his opinion.

Zhuang Yong smiled indifferently: "You are the boss, you can do whatever you say. I have no objection."

Li Yunhai said: "Sister, we are taking the bus to Xizhou. You and your children can get on board!"

The woman thanked her profusely, opened the back door, let her daughter get in first, and then she got in.

Zhuang Yong started the car.

Li Yunhai turned around and asked, "Sister, where are you going to Xizhou?"

The woman said just take us to the train station and we'll take the bus there.

Li Yunhai said yes.

After arriving in Xizhou, Li Yunhai asked Zhuang Yong to drop the mother and daughter off at the train station square.

The woman took out money to ask for travel expenses, but was stopped by Li Yunhai: "Forget it, no need to pay! You go and take a ride!"

"Thank you! You are such good people." The woman put away the money, took her daughter's hand, and said, "Nizi, let's go to the hospital to see your dad!"

The two left in a hurry.

The Sihai store is closed.

Li Yunhai was out for four days.

Before he went out, he made an agreement with Lin Zhi that it would take a few days for him to come back, but he didn't say a specific day.

When he returned home, he saw Lin Zhi watching TV at home.

"Why are you here?" Li Yunhai walked in and was surprised and happy to see Lin Zhi sitting on the sofa.

"I guess you'll be back today!" Lin Zhi chuckled, stood up and jumped on top of him, hooking her legs around his waist.

Li Yunhai hugged her, put his hands on her buttocks, and the two kissed each other.

"How did you know I was coming back today? I just said I would look for you later!"

"Hee, I just know! We have a clear understanding of each other! I miss you, and you will miss me too."

"That's really what happened! I originally wanted to go to Hengzhou, but I missed you so much that I came back."

Lin Zhi closed her eyes sweetly and let Li Yunhai kiss her.

Li Yunhai smelled the elegant fragrance on her body and was confused and fascinated.

"I'm going to take a shower first." Li Yunhai put Lin Zhi down and said, "Aren't you going home tonight?"

Lin Zhi hummed and smiled sweetly: "I'll stay with you all night."

Li Yunhai couldn't help being happy, fetched water from a kettle and put it on the stove to boil.

The weather is already very cold. Once the temperature drops in the south, it is extremely cold. This kind of cold is damp and cold, which is more uncomfortable than the dry cold in the north.

There is no heating in the south, so you can only burn briquettes or charcoal for heating.

Li Yunhai bought a firebox for heating and a lot of charcoal at home, but he didn't light it.

Seeing that Lin Zhi's hands were cold, he took the quilt over, placed it on the sofa, and covered her.

Lin Zhi nestled in the quilt and said with a smile: "This is warmer than the fire."

Li Yunhai took some charcoal and took out the firebox. He used cotton wool as a kindling material and poured a little alcohol on the charcoal. It ignited a little and started burning immediately.

Lin Zhi saw it and exclaimed: "You are so awesome! How did you light the fire? It burned so fast all of a sudden! My mother often burns matchmaking balls for most of the day!"

Li Yunhai smiled and said, I used charcoal and poured in a little alcohol, so it burned quickly.

He put the firebox outside, waited for the first puff of smoke to dissipate, then brought it in and placed it at Lin Zhi's feet.

Lin Zhi stepped on the firebox with her feet and her upper body was covered with a quilt, not to mention how warm she was.

After the water on the stove was boiled, Li Yunhai took a kettle and poured it into the bathtub. He also took a bucket of cold water and poured it in. He tested the water temperature with his hands and found that it was almost ready, so he went in to take a bath.

After taking a shower, Li Yunhai didn't bother to get dressed and sat next to Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi put her hands outside to peel the melon seeds and eat them, it was a bit cold.

She chuckled and touched Li Yunhai with her cold hands.

"Haha!" Li Yunhai laughed so hard.

He hugged Lin Zhi and said, "Okay, if you dare to ice me, I will ice you too!"

As he spoke, he put his hand into Lin Zhi's collar.

Lin Zhi snorted, shrank her head, and laughed.

The two were flirting and having fun.

The weather is getting colder, especially at night, and my feet are very icy.

Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi didn't go out either. They just stayed at home watching TV, reading books, chatting, and then loving each other tirelessly.

At night, with the lights turned off, the two of them lay on the bed, listening to the cold wind blowing outside.

The cold is getting thicker, wrapping the city deeply, and only the bright lights are slightly warm.

Lin Zhi and Li Yunhai can warm each other and support each other.

Li Yunhai was afraid that her feet would be cold, so he bent her feet and put them on his body to keep warm.

Like a kitten, Lin Zhi nestled in Li Yunhai's arms, smelling the manly scent on his body, and slowly fell into a deep sleep.

Li Yunhai looked at the hazy moonlight outside the window, which seemed to be scattered across a layer of mist and scattered all over the deserted place.

The pale moonlight makes people feel even more desolate.

He smelled Lin Zhi's fragrance and felt a special sense of satisfaction.

In this life, he will definitely be able to live a different kind of wonderful life!
Unknowingly, he also fell asleep.

When he woke up, he saw Lin Zhi still sleeping peacefully in his arms.

As soon as he made a move, Lin Zhi woke up.

"Hai Yun, I had a dream. I dreamed that it was snowing heavily!" Lin Zhi smiled sweetly, "Then, you and I returned to your hometown to celebrate the New Year. There was snow everywhere. We walked on the country road and met many people. The children were having a snowball fight together, and you threw a snowball into my collar. I was so cold that I woke up. Only then did I realize it was a dream."

"This is not a dream, this is a wish that can be realized soon." Li Yunhai caressed her pretty face, "Maybe there will be a heavy snow during the New Year this year? I just don't know if you can accompany me home for the New Year. ?”

Lin Zhi bit her lip and thought for a while, then said, "I would like to accompany you home for the New Year. I wonder if my parents can agree?"

Li Yunhai hugged her tightly and said, "I can't be so selfish. You are the only daughter in the family. Of course you have to spend the New Year with your parents."

"But I want to celebrate the New Year with you!" Lin Zhi started to act coquettishly, moving her body constantly, bringing the cold wind into the bed.

Li Yunhai clamped her legs firmly to prevent her from moving, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, how about we invite your parents to come back to my house to celebrate the New Year? Do you think they can agree?"

Lin Zhi pouted: "They will definitely not agree!"

She flashed her pretty eyes and said with a smile: "I have an idea, just say, we want to get engaged! Then they will definitely agree!"

"Engagement?" Li Yunhai thought to himself, after the New Year, Lin Zhi and I are one year older, so it is not impossible to get engaged.

Among the people, engagement is the prelude to marriage.

Engagement, also known as marriage contract, according to Chinese folk customs, there is usually an engagement ceremony before marriage.Signing a marriage contract, exchanging gifts, or setting up a matchmaker, etc.

Lin Zhi bit his ear gently: "Is that okay? Don't you want to?"

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Of course I have! I'm wondering, how will our engagement ceremony be held? I've never been engaged before!"

Lin Zhi had never been engaged, or even seen anyone engaged. She just knew about such a ceremony and said, "Isn't it just two families having a meal together?"

Li Yunhai smiled and scratched her nose: "How can it be such a simple thing? There is an engagement ceremony for an engagement. Although it is not as formal as a wedding, it is still very grand. In my hometown, when getting engaged, the man first gives the woman a gift of money. .When they get married, the woman will send some furniture, bedding and other things."

Lin Zhi chuckled and said, "Okay, how much do you plan to give as a gift?"

Li Yunhai thought for a while and said, "We are engaged now, so maybe the gift should be 600 yuan."

"600 yuan?" Lin Zhi groaned, "That's so little? Then I won't get married!"

"Hey, are you getting married or getting married as a bride price?"

"I'm kidding! If you don't give me a penny as a bride price, I will marry you. I have been yours for a long time. Aren't I?"

"Ling Zhi, betrothal money is a local custom. We should abide by it. No matter how much I give you, it is not enough."

"By the way, you have already bought me three pieces of gold, so you don't need to buy any more?"

"This? Don't discuss it now! Let's discuss it when you have time! You are going to be late for work."

"That's what I wanted to talk to you about, it's so interesting!"

"..."

Lin Zhi was reluctantly carried out of bed by Li Yunhai.

After the two of them washed up, they went to a restaurant outside to eat a bowl of noodles.

Li Yunhai sent her to work.

When Lin Xiaofeng first came back, Li Yunhai made an agreement with her and Lin Zhi that the three of them would learn to drive together.

Although it is difficult to get a driver's license in this era, it is not impossible to obtain it.

In 1979, Beijin had its first driving school open to the public—Beijin Automobile Technical School.By 1991, the number of motor vehicles in Beijin reached 42, and the number of drivers reached more than 45.

In my country in the 80s, a driver was a skilled worker who not only had to be able to drive, but also had to be able to repair and perform daily vehicle maintenance.Veteran drivers who took the driver's license exam at that time had a thick book on mechanical principles in their hands. They first had to spend a long time learning car maintenance techniques, and then they learned about driving theory and actual driving.

And the tuition is extremely expensive.

For example, taking the driver's license test for a large truck costs 1800 yuan and lasts one year.The concept of driver at that time was different from that of later generations. It was a combination of the two concepts of driver and car mechanic.What was the concept of 1800 yuan in 1985? At that time, the monthly salary of an ordinary worker in Beijin was 50 or 60 yuan.

Not only does it take a long time to learn to drive, but it also requires psychological devastation and torture.Students not only need to learn the two major categories of car repair and driving, but also many small projects.You can only get an internship certificate after passing the exam, and then you have to drive with the master and be scolded by the master.After going through all kinds of difficulties to get a driver's license, its value is unmatched by the driver's licenses of later generations.

At that time, many drivers in government agencies were more arrogant than their leaders. Why?He is a scarce skilled worker: a driver.

Li Yunhai and the others have already signed up to take the driving license test.

They first went to the unit to issue a letter of introduction, and then went to the Vehicle Supervision Office, which was not under the control of the traffic police at this time. It was a unit affiliated with the Transportation Bureau. They received forms for registration and found an experienced driver from the unit with more than three years of driving experience to be the instructor's signature and pledge. , the unit stamped the approval, and then issued two booklets, one is "Traffic Rules" and the other is "Mechanical Knowledge". Go back and study on your own, and you can apply for the exam six months later.

The exam half a year later was to test theory, which was the first subject of later generations. There were no computers at that time, so all the questions were written by hand. The questions were not difficult and you could pass them quickly.The second is the pile test, and the third is the road test.

If you fail, you can retake the exam one week later.

Li Yunhai and the others signed up, but they are still in the learning stage. It will take at least three months to get their driver's license.

And even if you pass the exam successfully, you will get an internship certificate. You have to drive with a master for a year before you can go to the vehicle inspection office to get the original driver's license.

Li Yunhai now has a car and a motorcycle to drive, so he is not in a hurry.

It’s just that it’s a bit cold to ride a motorcycle in winter.

But Lin Zhi really likes riding a motorcycle, saying that the feeling of the wind is particularly refreshing.

In fact, driving a motorcycle also requires a certification, but the verification is not that strict.

Li Yunhai bought a car first and took the license test while driving it. During this period, he basically never encountered a traffic policeman stopping the car to check it.

On this day, he took Linzhi to the Cultural Bureau on his motorcycle.

The Cultural Affairs Bureau is a leisure unit. Even if you are late, no one will mind your business.

Lin Zhi got out of the car, untied the scarf covering her face, and said with a smile, "Come to my unit for a stroll?"

Li Yunhai had never been to her unit, so he agreed with a smile.

He parked the car and followed Lin Zhi into the Cultural Bureau.

Lin Zhi happily introduced the buildings in the bureau to him.

The building of the Cultural Affairs Bureau used to be an old-fashioned academy, which is relatively antique.

A middle-aged man walked towards her. When he saw Lin Zhi, he shouted: "Ling Zhi, come here."

Lin Zhi smiled and said, "Jiang Bureau, what can I do?"

Director Jiang raised his eyes and looked at the two of them. He said something but forgot it again. He was so anxious that he scratched his head and scratched his head. It took him a long time to remember and said: "By the way, that's it. The cultural center is holding a dance again. We received reports from the masses. , they say they provide paid escorts, please go down and investigate this matter!"

"Paid dancing? What do you mean?" Lin Zhi blinked in confusion.

Director Jiang coughed lightly and said, "They just invited a group of women to dance. Men who want to invite these women to dance have to pay a fee. It's only ten cents a dance! There are still many people willing to pay!"

"Is this illegal?" Lin Zhi asked.

"Isn't it illegal?" Bureau Jiang asked.

Lin Zhi chuckled and said, "I don't know, so I asked the leader for advice."

Director Jiang was stunned for a moment and said: "Isn't it bad to collect money? Isn't that a capitalist line? Isn't this the same as a dancing girl?"

Li Yunhai couldn't help but said: "There is a market only when there is demand. Even if she is a dancer, she is upright and does not do anything sneaky. She is making money legitimately. What's wrong with her?"

Director Jiang looked at Li Yunhai and rolled his eyes: "You little comrade, what do you know? Which department are you from? Huh? If you say it has no impact, does it mean there is no impact? Dancing with others, and... Collecting money from people? Isn’t this treating dance as a self-employed business?”

Li Yunhai's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Jiang Bureau Yingming, I think you are right. Dancers are also self-employed. They make money with their own skills and labor. I think this is completely feasible!"

Bureau Jiang was stunned!
