That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 163 March 31 (I came back too late, please take leave for an update)
"Mom, Mom, I'm back. What delicious food did you cook for me?"

"Sweet and sour fish? There are too many thorns in this dish! No braised pork?"

Wen Leyu entered the house, threw down his backpack, put on his slippers and walked into the kitchen, chatting behind Teacher Ke.

"Yes~, but your dad said he would do it for you himself!"

"Can I eat the food my dad cooks?"

Teacher Ke looked back and saw that his daughter was like a kitten, constantly twitching her little nose to smell, and she was a little disgusted with her husband's craftsmanship. She couldn't tell how happy she was in her heart.

My daughter is becoming more and more lively, and there is no trace of the depression she once had.

Thinking back to when she first came to Beijing, Teacher Ke worriedly went to several senior doctors to ask about depression. All the doctors told her very carefully that depression was very dangerous and troublesome.

But now it seems that this trouble should be completely solved.

That kid Li Ye deserves a lot of credit.

"Hey, Xiaoyu, you came back so early today, did you skip school?"

Wen Leyu shook his head and said, "No, Li Ye drove me back."

Teacher Ke was a little surprised: "What kind of car? Doesn't he not drive a truck for the school?"

"That small truck from Pengcheng No. [-] Factory," Wen Leyu said, "He knew I was coming back today, so he wouldn't let me squeeze into the bus and borrowed that truck to see me off."

Teacher Ke said: "Then why didn't he come home for dinner?"

Wen Leyu made a face and said, "You didn't invite anyone, so how can someone come to your door casually? Mom, you are a high-ranking official now! Once your official authority is shaken, people won't even dare to come in!"

Teacher Ke pretended to be angry: "Why are you talking to your mother? Since when did I play official with Li Ye?"

Wen Leyu blinked and said cheerfully: "That means, mom, you do have official authority?"

Teacher Ke gouged out Wen Leyu, a little reproachful, but also speechless.

There are many officials in the capital, and any boss of a central enterprise can be at the deputy ministerial level. Who doesn't have such a thing as official prestige?
"When Li Ye brings you back from now on, let him come home for dinner and tell him that I don't treat him like an outsider."

"Yeah, yeah, he didn't treat you as an outsider. He directly summoned you this time."

"Using me? What does he want to use me for?"

Teacher Ke was a little funny. She knew exactly what kind of child Li Ye was, so how could she not have a sense of proportion?

"I'll tell you after I eat. Eat quickly, I'm starving."

Teacher Ke smiled and didn't care.

But when Wen Leyu handed the manuscript to her after the meal, she was still surprised.

"Li Ye said that he wants to publish his novel in Hong Kong Island?"

"Yes, this is Li Ye's new work. He also said that he would find a foreigner to translate it for a second time because it involves copyright. Li Ye said that this time we will earn US dollars."

Wen Leyu loudly explained to Teacher Ke, emphasizing that "we cannot let others share our money."

Teacher Ke was slightly surprised at first, and then said in a funny tone: "Both of you can earn US dollars! Oh, that's amazing, I haven't even earned US dollars! I have to learn."

Wen Leyu knew at a glance that his mother didn't believe it, and immediately said with a straight face: "Comrade Ke Zhiyu, I am talking to you very formally.

Li Ye's "Flying in the New Wind" has long been serialized in magazines on Hong Kong Island, generating US$[-] in revenue for the country every month.
Li Ye said that foreigners are nothing special. They can use color TVs and refrigerators to make money from us, and we can also use words to make money from them. We are no worse than them. "

When Wen Leyu said the last sentence, his tone was very solemn, and there was an awe-inspiring look on his face.

Teacher Ke didn't have any shock or daze reaction, but she thought it was a bit funny at first, but now she became serious.

"We are no worse than foreigners. Did Li Ye say this?"

Wen Leyu nodded and said: "He has told me twice. The last time was when I discussed with him whether to study abroad, he said that studying abroad is a return to study, but don't forget who you are."

Teacher Ke was finally surprised. After all, in the past few years since the reform and opening up, advanced Western technology and ideas have poured in, converging into a strong "west wind" that has the potential to overwhelm the east wind.

Advanced automobiles, color TVs, and refrigerators have conquered consumers in the land of flowers with their undisputed performance, and some of the ideas that have flowed in have also subtly changed the minds of many people.

Teacher Ke works in the education system and pays great attention to the ideological and values ​​​​of young people of Li Ye's generation, and has faintly noticed some bad signs.

More and more people are eager to study abroad, and their desire is getting stronger and stronger. However, compared with before, the purpose of their desire has quietly changed. Some people even do not come back.

Teacher Ke thought for two seconds and then asked calmly: "Then you and Li Ye are planning to study abroad?"

Now that they are sophomores, they can apply to study abroad. Wen Leyu and Li Ye can start planning now, but they cannot be said to be delusional.

But Wen Leyu shook his head and said: "No, Li Ye said that he would be more useful if he stayed on this land."

"More useful?"

The corner of Teacher Ke's mouth couldn't help but curve into a smile: "Tell me, what's the use of it?"

"What I said is true,"

Wen Leyu scolded unhappily, took his mother's hand and began to say: "Li Ye is not only writing novels, but also promoting the history and culture of flower farming.

He also served as an economic consultant to Pengcheng Clothing Factory No. [-] and planned promotional activities for Xiushui Street stores and the Second People's Mall.
He told me that he might get a [-]% discount in the future!This is called concessions that benefit the people. "

Teacher Ke said with a smile: "It's not that simple to benefit the people. People don't have dozens of dollars in their pockets every month to spend casually, and he actually made a profit. So many other shopping malls and vendors can't make any money. manage?"

"I didn't ask him about that," Wen Leyu was stunned for a moment, and then said in a sarcastic tone: "Oh, he did something good for customers after all, right?
I was working as a volunteer at the Second People's Shopping Mall that day, and I was so happy to see those people. "

"Okay, okay, Li Ye did the right thing, Li Ye did a good job."

Teacher Ke coaxed her daughter for a few words, and then said, "Sit down for a while and let mom look at these manuscripts, okay?"

Wen Leyu suddenly became quiet, and sat obediently next to Teacher Ke, watching his mother read carefully page by page.

"This book reminds me of a foreign novel I read many years ago. I forgot the name, but the feeling is obviously different."

After Teacher Ke finished reading it, he found it quite interesting, but he was not overly excited. At most, he just admired Li Ye's ideas.

This is not to blame for her lack of knowledge. In this era, many literary works that are highly sought after by foreigners will not be adapted to the land of flower cultivation, let alone Western fantasy novels.

Wen Leyu said expectantly: "Mom, do you have time to be our proofreader?"

Teacher Ke smiled and said, "Then you have to tell me, what kind of work do you need me to do for you?"

Wen Leyu had already planned it and said: "Li Ye will write the Chinese manuscript, and I will initially translate it into English. Then, mom, you will check it and correct the inappropriate places, and we will earn the royalties for the three of us."

"."

"Hahahahaha~"

Teacher Ke finally couldn't help laughing, and while laughing, he said: "Sanyi 31, I am dignified."
Forget it, I will earn your Sanyi 31, hahahahaha~"

"Don't laugh!"

"Mom, be serious!"

"stop laughing!"

"Hahahaha~"

. . . . . . .

When going to bed at night, Teacher Ke pushed Wen Qingsheng next to him.

"Do you know that Li Ye is helping Pengcheng Factory No. [-] to plan product promotions?"

"What kind of help! A group of sub-managers and deputy managers are all from Qingshui County. Li Ye must be involved, how can he escape my sharp eyes?" "Then he has been making a lot of noise recently, what do you think? Do you want to call him home and give him a few words?"

"Hey, what are you worried about?"

Wen Qingsheng said nonchalantly: "Li Ye, his grandfather is a veteran and his father is a D member. Are you still afraid that he can't stand sugar-coated bullets?
Besides, wouldn't it be better if he had sugar-coated bullets in his own hands? "

"I'm not afraid that he will be blinded by money," Teacher Ke kicked Wen Qingsheng angrily and said, "I'm afraid that if he is too pushy, he will cause dissatisfaction and criticism from others."

"Don't worry, it's okay," Wen Qingsheng said confidently: "Let him deal with the child's affairs on his own for a while. At worst, I will just tell him the truth when the time comes. How dare he not give me face, Old Ding?"

"Okay, okay, you're so proud."

. . . . . .

Teacher Ke has a very keen sense of smell, and the limelight of Pengcheng Clothing Factory No. [-] really aroused many people's reactions.

On Saturday, Jin Peng suddenly came to the school to look for him and brought him two pieces of "unexpected" news.

"Xiaoye, you guessed it again. Xicheng Department Store and Dongcheng Supply and Marketing Building stopped cooperation negotiations with us two days ago.
I asked Huang Gang to inquire about it, and they started offering discounts this week. "

"If you want to do it, just do it!" Li Ye said nonchalantly: "Did they publicize it in advance?"

Jin Peng said: "No, it seems to be kept secret, but Huang Gang found out. They made a big banner with a [-]% discount and planned to hang it up on Sunday morning."

"That's a good thing!" Li Ye said with a smile: "How could we say it at the beginning? Isn't it enough to let the people get more benefits?"

Jin Peng asked: "What should we do? Should we reduce it to [-]% off?"

Li Ye shook his head and said: "If we don't lower it, it will be too much if we lower it any further. We will carry on as usual."

Jin Peng, who was impatient, saw that Li Ye didn't take it seriously, so he had no choice but to leave.

Their power is still too small now, and there is really no good way to deal with it.

. . . .

On Sunday, after Jiang Xiaoyan got up and finished her chores, she asked Hu Man to go to the Second People's Mall to "make extra money."

Hu Man said, "I won't go today. I haven't mastered two courses well. I want to review them carefully and strive for a first-class scholarship."

Jiang Xiaoyan said: "Didn't Brother Peng tell us? You can bring textbooks there. When we are not busy, we will rotate into groups and we can review there."

But Hu Man just shook his head and said he would not go.

Jiang Xiaoyan suddenly asked: "Hu Man, do you think it's not decent to work part-time to earn money?"

Hu Man quickly shook his head: "No, I don't want to meet Li Dayong."

"."

Jiang Xiaoyan did not persuade Hu Man anymore, but left the school half an hour early and walked all the way to the Second People's Mall.

It’s only a few kilometers away in total, and taking the bus costs a dime!
Entering the mall, Jiang Xiaoyan saw Li Dayong who was "beier spirited".

Today, Li Dayong has changed into new clothes, new shoes, and even a new hairstyle. Compared with last week, he is a completely different person!But it also made Jiang Xiaoyan marvel.

"Tsk, tsk, I've known you Li Dayong for two or three years, but I never thought you could be a bitch?"

"Xiaoyan, what are you talking about? Is this how a person looks like a dog? Didn't you say that a person looks like a dog?"

"Humph, I know it in my heart."

Jiang Xiaoyan laughed and joked a few words, then went to get her vest and change her clothes.

Li Dayong looked outside for a long time before sighing softly.

Falling flowers follow the flowing water deliberately, and flowing water loves falling flowers ruthlessly. The most helpless thing in the world is that you want to show her the best side, but unexpectedly, you go round and round and can't reach her eyes at all.

. . . . .

After opening at nine o'clock, Pengcheng Factory No. [-]'s sales were still hot, but at around ten o'clock, the flow of people outside suddenly began to decrease.

By two or three o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Xiaoyan and others were no longer busy at all. Many short-term workers were whispering to each other. The older ones like Sister Fang were even a little uneasy.

Because they can earn this extra money all because the promotion site is too busy. If it is like today, then only one-third of the people will be enough next week.

Then the other two-thirds have to go back to serve their children, mother-in-law, and husband?

Forget it about serving people, there is no money to be made from it!

Three and a half yuan a week, four weeks is more than ten yuan, and if you save it for a year, it is quite a sum of money.

Nowadays, even if you haven’t made any money yet, the usage has already started to be sorted out. Your neighbor’s child will get a TV when he gets married. Can you buy a radio for your son when he gets married?
"Sister Fang, why don't you go and ask if we can lower the price when we are not busy?"

"Are you selling vegetables? And you're lowering the price yourself?"

Sister Fang laughed and scolded her companion, then got up and went to find Ma Qianshan.

Now she was vaguely the leader of a group of older short-term workers. She had to ask Ma Qianshan what he meant and give them some ideas.

"Xiao Ma, there are a little few customers today. How about we let a few sisters go back first, and then they will come in rotation, so that one person can come for two weeks a month?"

Ma Qianshan asked strangely: "Why do you have to take turns? Are you busy with things at home?"

"No, no," Sister Fang said, "We are thinking that you also need to calculate the costs of your business, right?"

Ma Qianshan said with a smile: "Sister Fang, you don't have to think too much. With our current manpower, I find it too small! Don't worry! The promotional subsidy fee will not be reduced at all, and may even increase in the future!"

"That's good, I have to wait for you to increase the price for me."

When Sister Fang came back and explained the situation, a group of short-term workers who showed off their spare energy all said "Xiao Ma Renyi".
And people like Jiang Xiaoyan who are "work-study students" have settled down, studying and taking a nap.

Only Jiang Xiaoyan felt very uneasy.

Because she felt that it was no longer good for her to work for Brother Peng and get paid. Now there were suddenly so few customers and she couldn't help at all. How could she still get paid for nothing?
[I’ll tell Ma Qianshan later and tell him that he will be studying very hard next month and won’t come. 】

"Ah~~"

Jiang Xiaoyan sighed and looked down at the book in her hand. She didn't read it for a long time.

At 05:30 in the afternoon, Ma Qianshan had dinner delivered on time, one meat and one vegetarian white rice. The standard was quite high.

But as Jiang Xiaoyan ate, she always found it difficult to swallow.

[No matter what happens today, I can’t get paid. Next week or the next week, I’ll come over and help for two days for free. 】

Jiang Xiaoyan secretly made up her mind to use her meager strength to even out the loss costs of Pengcheng No. [-] Factory.

But just as she made up her mind, Huang Gang and one of his younger brothers hurried over.

"Good news, good news, the salesperson in Dongcheng got into a fight with a customer."

"."

What good news is this?

Before everyone could figure it out, Sister Fang explained to everyone: "Don't think it's easy for us to do discounts and promotions, but it's not easy for others to do the same job!"

　I went out with my wife for a busy day today and came back in the evening. I only coded more than 4000 words. I asked for leave for an update.

　　Old debts have not been repaid and new debts have been added. Lao Feng feels ashamed and frightened. I will try my best to make up for it.

　　Thanks to the book friend "Xu Ru Delusion Sleeping" for the 500-point reward, thank you brother.
