Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 115 Almost Mental Collapse

After returning to Beijing during the Chinese New Year, Xu Qing was particularly concerned about something and went to Wudaokou every three days on average.

It can be said that the temporary courtyard was successfully built under his witness.

There were no classes this morning, and there was no activity in the student union or the school literary club. After having some free time, he unconsciously thought of this matter.

Last time I went there, the work was basically completed, and I was welding the big iron door. It must be completely completed now.

He wants to confirm it. If it is, hey!It was his turn to have a good job.

Driving his brand new car, Xu Qingyou walked out of the east gate of Yanyuan, crossed Chengfu Road, turned right, and walked all the way to the end.

When approaching Beiyu, while braking and slowing down, I reached up and looked towards the temporary courtyard.

"Eh? Why are there so many people around the door?"

Xu Qingyou was surprised, so he jumped off his bicycle and walked along the courtyard wall of Beiyu to the main gate of Jiuan Courtyard. He paused and stood on tiptoe to look across the road.

"The door is still closed."

"Why are there dozens of people blocking the door?"

"The old thieves owe workers money and haven't paid them yet? It doesn't look like that. They all seem to be young people."

Talking to himself for a long time, he couldn't figure out a clue, but Xu Qing had observed that the old thief was not outside the door.

Then he pushed his bicycle, crossed the road, and approached.

"Hello, comrade, may I ask, what are you doing here?"

Xu Qingyou found a buddy behind the crowd and asked with a smile.

"Engage in selection."

"Selection? What is selection?"

"What are your qualifications to enter this small courtyard to do business?"

"What?"

Xu Qing was surprised and asked hurriedly: "This yard is used for business, and you still choose people to go in and do it?"

The guy glanced at him up and down and hummed: "How new is it? The country has opened up the individual economy. What, do you have any opinions?"

"No, no, I have no objection. What I want to say is that as far as I know, this yard is private, right?"

"What's the matter?"

Xu Qing had something to say, but he swallowed it back. It was terrible to be uneducated, and he couldn't explain it to this kid.

What's wrong? The problem is huge!

This old thief is simply seeking death!
Beautiful, though.

Hehe, I originally just wanted to start with such a large privately built house to give the old thief some fun.

This time, it's not as simple as being happy.

Xu Qingyou's lips curled up and he looked excited, but the matter was serious and he had to confirm it himself.

With this thought in mind, I hurriedly kicked off my legs, parked my bicycle, and walked around the side of the crowd towards the courtyard gate.

As soon as he reached the corner, through the gap in the crowd, he suddenly spotted a familiar face, and he squatted down in fear.

"Wang Shanhe!"

"Damn it, when did this bitch come to Beijing?"

Obviously, it was brought by the old thief.

After being stunned for a moment, the smile on Xu Qingyou's face became even brighter. What a good thing!

He hated Wang Shanhe more than Li Jiankun.

Well, now that the two guys are together and they are both in this courtyard, wouldn't it be nice to catch them all in one fell swoop?
Wonderful!

He bent his waist, looked through the cracks in the crowd, and then through the iron railings of the courtyard gate, looking inside for a while to make sure it was correct.

There are still some food in there, and after they are done, they will be given to the old thief and two who-know-who, for tasting.

This isn't testing dishes and making selections, so what is it?
My heart is ecstatic!

With a twist of his head, he ran away. He didn't dare to delay. He had to bring someone here immediately to catch him.

"Huh~"

With the wind roaring in his ears, Xu Qingyou used all his strength and excitement to rush all the way to the Dongsheng Subdistrict Office.

The bicycle was left outside the house, not even bothering to lock it, and went straight to the door.

"Hey, what are you doing?!"

He was so angry and had a crazy smile on his lips, he looked like a gangster with a brain problem who came to rob someone's house, which frightened all the cadres from the street office.

"Comrade, I have a serious illegal act to report!"
-
Street Office.

Xu Qingyou raised the incident to such a high level, how dare the grassroots cadres in the sub-district office not pay attention to it?

No one dared to take over and led him directly here.

Zhou Huifang, who was sitting behind the five-drawer table, looked very solemn at this time.

"Little comrade, please calm down first. Don't worry, if the content of the report is true, we will reward you." The kid kept giggling, obviously coming for the reward.

There is no such thing as calming down. Xu Qingyou opened his mouth and said: "Director, there is a new courtyard built at No. 100 of the temporary shelter, do you know?"

Zhou Huifang was slightly startled, because of this, the seriousness on her face was mostly reduced, she nodded and said: "Yes, I know."

Xu Qingyou said excitedly: "That yard is against the rules, isn't it? Where will the money come from to build such a big yard privately?"

When Zhou Huifang was about to say something, he continued: "But this is not what I want to report."

"Oh?"

"Director, you must not know that there is something very wrong with the guy who built the house. He actually wants to turn the yard into a shopping mall and even invite foreign investors to rent it out!"

Xu Qing said righteously: "What kind of behavior is this? A proper capitalist behavior!"

Okay, Zhou Huifang completely understood what happened.

This young man is really restless, he doesn't understand what he is doing, he thinks he has made some important discovery, and he is trying to take credit here.

"Little comrade, don't get excited yet, listen to me. I know this."

Xu Qingyou was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you know?"

"I know everything."

"..."

Zhou Huifang explained: "I approved the materials to build the yard, and I am indeed planning to build a small market. I heard that they are recruiting merchants these days, but you are wrong about one thing. The landlord will not confiscate the rent. Not a penny will be charged.”

"What's the matter?"

Xu Qing looked confused.

Build such a big yard, spend so much effort recruiting tenants, and not charge rent?

What a joke, let’s do charity!

"Director, you must not understand. I just saw it with my own eyes..."

At least he had some brains left and didn't tell me that I knew the house owner. He was so familiar with me and I knew exactly what kind of bird he was.

If this matter were to be brought out, it would be detrimental to his reputation if he said that a fellow villager was reporting on a fellow villager. It was still an old classmate relationship.

Zhou Huifang worked patiently for a long time, but the boy couldn't believe it, so she signaled him to wait a moment, rummaged through the five-drawer table, found a page of letter paper, wiped it back, and handed it to him.

Xu Qingyou glanced away, his mind buzzing.

This is an agreement signed by Li Jiankun and Dongsheng Subdistrict Office.

There is this sentence in it: "After No. 163 of the Temporary Residence Hall is rebuilt, it will be leased to unemployed young people in this street with priority. No fees will be charged for five years."

Five years later, it was 1984.

That year, the first southern tour began, the market economy flourished, and private enterprises rushed to emerge.

Li Jiankun had his own considerations, but at the moment Xu Qingyou really couldn't figure it out.

This is the dimensionality reduction blow brought about by reborn people due to the information gap.

I came here extremely excited and left devastated.

Pushing the [-] big bar and walking on the gloomy street, Xu Qingyou felt bad all over and was trembling involuntarily.

He was scared. He was not worried about Li Jiankun making a lot of money, or even about his academic achievements——

Putting aside the housing reform paper at the end of last year, it has never been confirmed that it was written by an old thief.

He's not bad either!

He is still outstanding in the literature department.

What he was afraid of was that he suddenly couldn't understand Li Jiankun.

It was as if in a certain way of thinking and a certain personality, he was suddenly pulled apart by the other party.

How can I pursue this?
He promised his mother that he would never lose to the same person twice.

"No! I have to find out what he is going to do and what he is thinking!"

Xu Qingyou gritted his teeth, realizing that the idea just now was extremely dangerous, and almost collapsed.

He got back on his bicycle and went straight to the Wudaokou commercial area. He came to a state-owned store and found a public phone.

The call was made to my distant uncle's office.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Uncle Ming, I, Qingyou..."

After some pleasantries, Xu Qing asked with a smile: "Uncle Ming, what is Xiao Jiang doing recently?"

"Damn it, don't mention that brat. He can't hold down a job, so what else can he do? He's just walking around on the street, he's no different from a second-rate guy!"

"Uncle Ming, please ask Xiao Jiang to come over to my place. I can find him a serious job. Maybe he will like it, but he must be quick."

"Oh? That's it, okay, then I understand, I'll let him pass today."
