Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 58 Getting Ready to Start

In April, the peach blossoms of the mountain temple begin to bloom.

At noon, the sun is just right.

The weather is finally getting warmer.

In the early spring in Beijing, a bunch of southern comrades almost froze to death, especially those natives like Li Jiankun who lived by the sea.

The blue waves are rippling in the unnamed lake, and little bits of silver light shine on the reflection of the Boya Tower, giving the picture of the tower and lake a somewhat mysterious color.

A pair of mandarin ducks swim side by side in the water, leaving ripples behind them.

On the shore, in the deep ancient forest, some of the lush trees have been growing for hundreds of years. Birds sang melodious tunes in the thick shade, and occasionally small squirrels scurry up to the treetops nimbly.

It's the breath of spring.

Li Jiankun strolled along the lakeside path, passing by groups of classmates holding books in their hands, as leisurely as a tourist.

If you kill someone, you will be free.

In a flash, it has been more than a month since I came to Peking University.

He was stuck here.

I went out for a few walks, but didn't accomplish anything.

With limited time, there is simply no way to use it.

As soon as school started, there were too many things going wrong.

First there was the school's orientation party, which was followed by the department, where I met my tutor and then was invited to have tea.

Drink for two days in a row.

If you drink till you feel wet, then you have to drink it. He is the boss of the Department of Economics of Peking University!

Military training followed immediately.

It’s not that I didn’t think about it, but the problem is, the instructor... he has a blood in him!
After meeting each other, Li Jiankun's Adam's apple rolled a few times.

Then he made severe self-criticism on himself.

What virtue?
Can you disrespect a fighting hero?

Hello instructor, my name is Guobao.

Again, there are so few people.

There are only 63 freshmen in Economics in total. What are the names of the four in dormitory 307?
panda!

Whenever there is an important event in the department, no matter whether it is a classmate or a teacher, even the leaders will scan and scan to find them first.

Don't talk about running away, you have to pay attention to your words and deeds.

Fortunately, I got through it.

The freshmen season has passed and everything is on track. I haven’t heard of any group activities for the time being.

He was finally able to free up his hands and start his own grand project.

Well, you have to do it step by step.

Without accumulating a few steps, you will not be able to reach a thousand miles.

The first small step: cover your pockets and buy some tools quickly.

Otherwise, you won’t even have the capital!
If he doesn't start working, he will really run out of food.

He had more than [-] yuan in his pocket when he came. Zhong Ling gave him [-] yuan back when he bought the ticket, and his uncle gave him [-] yuan. That's all he had.

But he didn't bring anything except a Mother's brand quilt.

Various purchases were made, and March in the capital forced me to buy a coat and cotton shoes.

Coupled with more than a month of inhumane life——

Naturally, he didn't think it was expensive for the meat and vegetables that cost [-] or [-] cents each, and he couldn't stand the other three thinking so.

There is not much money left in my pocket.
-
Exit Yanyuan from the south gate.

Turn left for a quarter of an hour and arrive at Zhongguancun.

The name Zhongguancun has a bit of a story to tell.

Hehe, in the early years, there were many interesting place names in the capital.

Things like Princess Tomb, Geihu Temple, Baizhifang... When you hear these, you seem to be able to think of something to compare with.

What about the Saozi Camp and the Milk Room?

Zhongguancun is also considered a member of the interesting camp.

In the early Qing Dynasty, it was a piece of righteous land. In the late Qing Dynasty, it was targeted by the eunuchs in the palace and buried together. The eunuchs were called "Zhongguan" at that time. After they occupied one third of this land at the speed of competition.

This area is naturally called the Zhongguan Tomb.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, many wastes were waiting to be renovated, and Haidian was planned as a cultural and educational district.

This eunuch scum is really in conflict with culture and education...!

Then it was changed to Zhongguan.

At this time, Zhongguancun was already quite prosperous. This prosperity did not refer to the economy, but to the cultural, educational and military fields.

Li Jiankun walked along the avenue, not daring to approach rashly.

Who knows if he might wander outside some secret unit?
Since 53, the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences' scientific research building, the Atomic Energy Building, was completed here. After the creation of two bombs and one satellite, a large number of scientific research institutes have spread around this place.

There are now more than a hundred research institutes in this area for scientific research and military industry.Are you talking about a tiger or not?
Take a look, flash!
Turn left for another quarter of an hour and reach the center of the universe.

In fact, Wudaokou exists in name only these days, and there is no such title in the administrative planning.

In 68, the Wudaokou Subdistrict Office was changed to the Dongsheng Road Subdistrict Office, and then in 91, it was changed to the Xueyuan Road Subdistrict Office.

Knowing this, what is the current specific title?
Temporary place.

Well, it says on the door sign.

It seems that later generations gave the name to a community.

Temporarily settled in the community.

Ha, that's called unique.

If you buy a map of Haidian these days, you can find many things starting with "Wudaokou", but no one can tell exactly what areas Wudaokou includes.

Is there a feeling that although the administrative title has been banned, the faith will last forever?

In the past month or so, Li Jiankun has been here twice, and it is no longer a stranger.

Don't look left or right, you can't see a cement road; it's so fierce and dirty!My eardrums burst, and the locomotive rushed straight towards me; looking around, I saw a large area of ​​tile-roofed houses.

But there are eight major colleges nearby, and Zhongguancun is only a few steps away.

There is really no shortage of things that this film should have.

Li Jiankun stopped in front of a majestic building.

Really majestic, without quotation marks, a landmark building in this area.

The Su-style building covers an area of ​​more than [-] square meters.

Wudaokou Workers Club.

Before ten o'clock in the morning, there were already several groups of people in front of the club. It was a lot of fun inside. There were all kinds of movies, Peking opera, dramas, storytelling, etc.

Mei Lanfang, Ma Lianliang and other famous actors from the older generation often came to perform there in the past.

People like Jiang Dawei and Zhu Mingying seem to be famous for singing this way.

The fare is very affordable.

It is deeply loved by nearby college students and young people.

Take a look at these people in front of you. They are obviously more fashionable than ordinary people. You can even see two or three shawl hairs. Wow, seeing this these days, it has a unique charm.

There are also a few girls in Peking University who untie their braids and play like this.

This is called following the trend.

Move your steps and walk for a few more minutes.

Arrive at the destination of Li Jiankun's trip.

Wudaokou commercial area.

There is no glorification in this title.

Although the Wudaokou Shopping Mall occupies the core position, it is only a row of long tile-roofed houses... Have you ever seen the chicken sheds and pig pens of rural farmers in later generations?
Well, just like that.

The difference is that it is made of brick walls and tiles, which are made of better materials and more beautiful.

But next to it, there are many other shops.

Things like those selling non-staple food, catering, bicycle repairs, Xinhua Bookstore, barber shops, cloth shops... just fancy.

It seems like one-stop solution for food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Among them, in terms of customer density, barber shops easily win.

Inside, the aunts and uncles were sitting in two rows, with smoke rising above their heads. There were a few naughty children at the door, their eyes wide open in wonder, thinking they were going to become immortals through cultivation.

In 1978, if you asked which shop in the city had the best business.

The barber shop is said to be number one, but no one dares to say that it is number two.

At this time, electric perms became popular.

Girls play with shawl hair, and aunties play with electric perms, easily occupying the barber shop.

There is no way, the strength is just there.

After it’s ironed, oh ho!

That roll after roll is called a modern one!

Li Jiankun was happy to see such subtle changes, which were also things that he had ignored in his previous life. Still unfinished, he walked into Wudaokou Department Store.

When I saw a counter at the door, I walked up and smiled.

"Excuse me, may I ask, are there any paints for sale here?"

Although Beijing people are not xenophobic, if they can include a few words about Beijing films, they are still quite popular.

"What paint did you use?"

"Hua Hua is the seed."

"Go to the second cabinet and take a look."

"Yes, thank you."
