Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 80: Brother finally straightened up and behaved

"Chinese mathematician Chen Jingrun, in his research on number theory, carefully analyzed and scientifically calculated the problem of "Goldbach's conjecture" and proved..."

On the radio, reports from Xinhua News Agency were broadcast.

The three musketeers gathered around the long table, each with their own style, wishing they could put their heads into the speakers.

There is a kind of extreme excitement on the face that comes when reading Shuangwen novels in later generations.

In 1978, the most dazzling star in this country was not Zhang Lianwen, who had just finished starring in "Entrepreneurship" and became a household name.

It’s not Teresa Teng who has the most fascinating voice that fascinates young people.

But the mathematician Chen Jingrun.

There has been an unprecedented wave of enthusiasm for Chen Jingrun in society, which has also allowed academics who have been sidelined for many years to once again gain everyone's attention and respect.

At the same time, it inspired thousands of students.

In Yanyuan, the atmosphere of learning is particularly strong this time, and everyone cherishes the dream of becoming the next Chen Jingrun.

A little for fame, but mostly for the sake of bringing glory to the country.

Look, this era is so pure.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

"Block! Block!"

Li Jiankun stood by the window and looked at a volleyball match going on on the sports ground downstairs.

The brand-new blue and white volleyball is full of elasticity; the middle net is white and straight, no longer loose, and there are no holes.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

"Jiankun, you are an unknown hero. Those guys in the dormitory suddenly got a radio. Damn, they were so confused. They thought the department was showing mercy."

Hu Ziqiang curled his lips and said.

I don't understand this operation.

Li Jiankun didn't explain either. He had purchased the items and handed them over to the department student union to fulfill his promise. As for his reputation, he didn't want it.

It’s a good idea to take the lead. Things related to money these days should be as low-key as possible.

Kabuto has almost bottomed out.

I don’t feel bad at all, it’s a big practical thing.

"I asked you, do you still want to learn? If you don't, I will leave."

"Learn! Come on!"

The Three Musketeers reached an agreement and set aside an hour every day to draw a picture to relieve the worries of life.

Well, just one, no more.

Never be obsessed with money, that's not a good thing! ——
in the afternoon.

West City.

To the south of Dongzhimen, there is an artificial lake built in the 60s. The shape of the lake is winding, not just a lump. The terrain is narrow in some places, and there is a stone arch bridge across the lake.

Young men and women who come to play in the artificial lake always like to cross this bridge.

There was no shortage of small traders and hawkers, so they took their sights on this place.

The management these days is unclear. Some places are allowed to sell things by default, and some places are not allowed to do so. The red armbands are seen hanging in the sky; some places are allowed to sell things today, but not tomorrow.

Didn't you see, there are still radish sellers in Tiananmen Square.

In the central area of ​​​​the capital, small businessmen and hawkers are very mobile.

Chen Yajun also took his sights on this small bridge. He held a corrugated box and glanced left and right. At this point, he didn't find a fellow traveler. His heart was pounding, and he just didn't dare to put the box on the ground.

Clenched teeth.

After at least a quarter of an hour of mental construction, Fang Xin was confident!
Die or die!

He opened the mouth of the box and squatted on the ground, his face flushed.

"Hey, what is this?"

Business comes so fast.

Chen Yajun's scalp was numb. He used all his strength to suppress the shame in his heart, squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, and stammered the introduction:
"This is called a plaster statue. You can buy it and display it at home. It's beautiful and not expensive."

call!
I have never known in my life that speaking is so difficult.

"Ah! This isn't..."

That’s right, a faculty bust.

Snow-white, solemn and three-dimensional, who wouldn’t look at it in awe?
Aren’t they a hundred times rarer than the paintings posted in the nave of your home?
A young couple.

The man immediately realized that if he took one back, the old man would be happy, so he asked: "Comrade, how did you sell it?"

"Two hairs."

The price given by Li Jiankun, no matter what Renmin University students say, come to it.

After all, just a little gypsum water costs nothing.

"Huh? It's really not expensive. But isn't it so brittle that it will break if you drop it?"

The young man picked one up and knew its importance once he started to use it.

"Brother, why are you throwing it? Take it home, find a high platform, and put it on display, right?"

The words became more crisp unconsciously.

"Yes. Okay, buy one."

The first transaction was completed in this way, and it was so smooth that Chen Yajun could not believe it. Especially when he took the two-cent note, his hands were shaking.

This was the first money he made in his life.

After returning to Beijing and working as a loser for half a year.

I almost cried with joy.

Unexpectedly, this couple still has business to do.

The girl noticed another plaster statue and couldn't move her eyes away. She hurriedly bent down to pick one out and said happily: "This little pig is too cute!"

Chen Yajun currently only has two molds, and this pot-bellied pig is the second one.When a young man sees that she likes her, how can he not follow the path?Isn't this what we were talking about? He looked like he loved everything. After taking it, he realized something was wrong.

"Huh? Isn't this heavy?"

That is, despite the small size, it is difficult to do this thing. The teacher seemed to follow Teacher Li's instructions and only poured plaster water three times.

I drank this thing five times.

It's quite thick.

Chen Yajun explained with a smile, "This little pig is not only good-looking, but do you see the slot on the back? It is used for stuffing money. I usually put a lot of money in it, so I made it thicker and can be used as a piggy bank."

Hey!
After hearing what he said, the girl quickly looked at it and saw that it was really like that, and she fell in love with it more and more.

What else can a young man do?He took out his pocket and asked, "How much is this?"

"Five cents."

"Tsk!"

That's expensive.

"How about I buy it myself," the girl said.

The young man tensed up, that was impossible.

"Here, here!"

Crisp and neat.

Another fifty cents was put into the account, and Chen Yajun's mind was buzzing. This money came so fast!
It's like robbery!

This poor kid has bounced back from the bottom, and for the first time in his life, he has tasted the joy of making money and the charm of business.
-
at dusk.

Maoyan Alley.

Chen Yajun carried a heavy corrugated box, hummed a little tune, walked with the wind in his arms, and rushed into the courtyard.

"Hey, the runner-up is back. What are you holding? I saw you carrying him out this morning, why did you bring him back?"

Uncle Zhang next door asked curiously.

"Hey, good stuff."

In response, Chen Yajun walked into his house.

He closed the stall in the middle of the afternoon. Why did he come back so late?
The answer is in the corrugated box.

"Mom! Dad! Where are we?"

"It's called a soul."

"what!"

Looking at the old man, Chen Yajun said in his heart that he would be unlucky when he saw him, please don't hug me and lick me later.

The corrugated box was placed on the square dining table.

Chen Yajun didn't answer, turned over his paper hat, and took out something.

"Shh!"

A piece of fat meat can weigh two kilograms.

"Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Peony cigarettes, five packs.

One package after another was slapped on the table.

The photo showed the pupils of the Chen family dilating one after another.

"Shhhhh!"

Three packs of cow dung paper came in succession. I don’t know what they contained, but I could see that the back of the paper was completely soaked with grease, and there was a faint aroma of meat on the tip of my nose.

"Meat stew, and half a roast duck."

Chen Yajun explained without looking back.

Go ahead and dig it out!
A bag of honey bread.

A pocketful of apples.

Two bottles of canned oranges.

A bottle of Niulanshan.

"Boom!"

"Okay, that's all for today. We'll have a table tonight, and the rest are all you care about."

stupid!
The Chen family's four eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Looking at him as if he were a ghost.

Chen Yajun did this just to feel proud and had a purpose.

With his back straight, he took out a handful of notes from his pocket and slapped it on the old mother's hand.

"Mom, I'll give it back to you. I, your son, can I keep my word? Is the thing I tinkered with last night a fool's errand?"

Do you know where he left the plaster statue last night?

There was a latrine behind the house, and there was an empty space next to it. The walls were filled with pickled cabbage jars, and there were piles of mosquitoes and flies, which sucked at least two ounces of his blood.

Father Chen couldn't believe it and asked, "Is this what you did last night?"

"That's not the case. It's in hot demand! I squatted by the man-made lake and they were all sold out in the middle of the afternoon. If I hadn't gone shopping for these, why would I have been back so late?"

"Oops! My little Jun is really getting down to business! Mom, why don't you get a glass of water for the kid? Look at how sweaty he is."

After a while, the eldest brother's family of three and the second brother arrived home one after another.

Shocked!

Chen Yajun's family status has skyrocketed. When having dinner, he sits next to the old man and his eldest brother.

His second brother, who was incompetent and rarely took money from the money, was driven to his previous seat, sitting next to his little niece.

In the evening, Chen Yajun's studio was changed to the main room.

Candles become light bulbs.
