Life 1984

Chapter 69 Make a Break!

Shen Xiulan suddenly squatted down, holding her face in her hands, crying.

She cried like a lost child at nightfall, crying about her inability to change her parents' stubborn demands and ideas, crying about love that suddenly became elusive, crying about her future, crying about her confusion, and crying about everything.

Seeing her crying very sadly, Li Yunhai's tears fell to the ground like broken pearls. He couldn't help but sigh, squatted beside her, hugged her, and said warmly:
"Xiulan, I can't be your son-in-law. This is non-negotiable. I am the eldest son of the family. If I come to your house, who will take care of my family affairs? Also, my dignity as a man, I am not allowed to marry into your house."

He patted Shen Xiulan on the back, took out his handkerchief, wiped away the tears on her face, and said: "Your parents are clearly having such problems on purpose and want to break us up. If you must listen to them, If so, then let’s break up! From now on, let’s keep each other safe!”

Shen Xiulan cried louder, lying in Li Yunhai's arms, hugging him tightly, hunching her weak shoulders, and said choked with sobs: "No! Yunhai, I can't live without you! I just want to be with you. Together! You can’t live without me!”

Li Yunhai felt that she was really sad, and her chest was pulling hard like a bellows, rising and falling.

He took out a cigarette and lit it.

After smoking a cigarette, Li Yunhai decided to have a frank talk with Shen Guoming and his wife. No matter how he and Shen Xiulan ended up, he had to go this time.

Whether it's a separation or a union, let's settle it!

Li Yunhai locked the store door and rode a tricycle to take Shen Xiulan home.

Arriving outside Shen's house, Li Yunhai picked up the computer he had placed on the tricycle and strode into the house.

The Shen family is watching TV.

What was shown on the TV was "The Great Hero Fearless".

When Shen Guoming and Fang Peihua saw Li Yunhai coming in, they both let out a soft sigh.

Shen Xiuling giggled and asked, "Li Yunhai! What are you holding? It can't be a color TV, right?"

"Computer!" Li Yunhai held the computer and looked at her living room. There was no place to put it.

Only then did Shen Xiulan realize that the computer Li Yunhai had brought was actually given to her family, and her surprise was palpable.

Shen Xiuling rolled her eyes, stood up, opened the curtain, pointed to a table inside, and said to Li Yunhai, "How about putting it over here?"

Li Yunhai carried him into the compartment inside and put the computer on the bed first.

The Shen sisters emptied the sundries table.

Li Yunhai unpacked the computer, took out the host, monitor, keyboard and other items, and placed them one by one on the table. He was as careful as his hair and even brought over the power strips.

In order to renovate the copier recently, he made several power strips by himself, and the wires were thicker than those he bought.

The Shen family gathered around to watch.

Fang Peihua wanted to talk to Li Yunhai, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Li Yunhai installed the computer, powered it on, and turned it on.

When he took away these computers from Shi Wentao's company, the other party gave him two boxes of floppy disks, including system disks and game disks.

These floppy disks were eliminated along with computers by foreign companies. Because Li Yunhai purchased a huge amount, Shi Wentao gave him two boxes as a gift.

In addition, Li Yunhai bought several new genuine floppy disks from Wuyiwen, mainly for testing computers.

At this moment, he took out several floppy disks and told Shen Xiulan one by one which one was the software disk and which one was the game disk.Shen Xiuling jumped to her feet, took Li Yunhai's hand, and asked eagerly: "What game is there? Is it fun?"

"There's Stone Pusher and Pac-Man, which are all very fun. Xiaoling, you're still in school, so play less! You can follow your sister to learn how to use the computer and practice typing."

"Oh! I know! I'm on vacation now, so I can have some fun!"

Li Yunhai inserted a floppy disk.

This is a very classic game, Stone Pusher. In the game, the player controls the protagonist to dig in an underground cave, obtain gems and reach the exit before time runs out. During this period, players must be careful not to be killed by monsters in the cave.

This push-and-dig game is very addictive and the game operation is simple. No matter who gets the game, they can get started within 1 minute.

Li Yunhai only taught it once, and Shen Xiuling learned it. She had a great time playing it and stopped watching TV.

The Shen family are all intellectuals and know that a computer is expensive, even if it is second-hand, it is not something their family can buy if they want, so they looked at each other for a while.

"Ahem!" Fang Peihua coughed heavily and said, "Li Yunhai, come here, I have something to tell you."

For the sake of the computer, Fang Peihua's tone has never been softer.

"Uncle and aunt, I have something to talk to you too." Li Yunhai smiled slightly and pushed Shen Xiulan who was stunned, "Xiulan, give me a glass of water."

Shen Xiulan agreed, turned around and took her own water glass, poured a full glass of water and brought it to Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai drank it all in one gulp, wiped his mouth and looked at the faces of the Shen family.

He is a man who has experienced the world and does not care about other people's snobbery.

There are bound to be advantages, and the poor are greedy for profit. They can use profit to cut in, but it is easier to deal with.

Li Yunhai dragged a small bench, sat down in the living room, and said loudly: "Xiulan just told me about getting married, so please forgive me for not agreeing. This is non-negotiable! A real man only worries about his fame and fame, so why worry about it?" wife?"

Fang Peihua was about to ask you but you didn't agree. Why did you come to my house?
But Li Yunhai didn't give her a chance to speak, and continued: "I have resigned from my job, applied for a self-employed business license, and opened a repair shop in Jiuru Lane. My business is different from the ordinary repair shop you know. It's different. I mainly repair office equipment like computers, printers, typewriters, copiers, etc."

"So what? You're not a repairman? You're not self-employed?"

"Auntie, I can understand your prejudice against the self-employed. Because in the years you have experienced, self-employed is synonymous with speculation. But it has been six years since the reform and opening up! The night markets in Xizhou are all open! How many provinces in our province One hundred thousand self-employed people are all contributing to the four modernizations, and even the country recognizes this group. As intellectuals, it is really a pity that you, as intellectuals, have not changed your consciousness."

Fang Peihua, who usually has sharp teeth, was momentarily speechless.

Li Yunhai was neither humble nor arrogant, and said with a calm face: "In the final analysis, a job in a state-owned enterprise is to earn a salary of tens of dollars, three meals a day, and a few tile-roofed houses to protect against wind and rain."

He spoke impassionedly, with a confident look on his face: "Nowadays, society is very rich in supplies. In addition to food and oil and other items that need to be purchased with tickets, I can buy most supplies with cash. Even food stamps, I can also buy bicycle tickets, TV tickets, and all kinds of tickets on the black market. In other words, as long as you have money, you will have all the materials needed to meet the needs of life."

Fang Peihua finally seized the opportunity and asked loudly: "You keep talking about money! Then tell me, how much money can you make as a self-employed repairman? How much money can you spend now?"

Shen Xiulan stood nearby and whispered: "Mom, I told you, Yunhai is very good at making money."

Fang Peihua stretched out her hand and said, "Okay! How much money do you have? Show it and let me know! Others say that you use power to bully others, and you use power to bully others. Today you are going to use money to bully others!"

Li Yunhai really couldn't come up with much cash right now. He pointed at the computer and said, "Auntie, let me tell you this! I sell this kind of computer for four thousand each, and I have 125 in my warehouse! And You may have never seen a copier, but Xiulan’s work unit has one, and she knows about it. The copiers I refurbished cost 30 each, and I can get [-] of them with little effort! If you don’t believe it, I will do it now I’ll take you to my warehouse to check it out!”

The Shen family was shocked!
