Hello 1983

  Chapter 14 Do you believe me?

  When Liu Qingshan came out from Professor Wang's house, the two old men were still holding a small wine cup and drinking slowly.

  So he secretly made up his mind: When he makes money, he must save a large cellar of Moutai.

   You must know that in the early 1980s, the ex-factory price of Moutai was only seven or eight yuan, and the retail price was only ten yuan.

   It wasn't until 1986 that the price gradually rose. Later, Feitian Moutai really flew into the sky.

  Walking back to the hotel by bus, the waiter told me: Little comrade, a comrade reporter is waiting for you.

  Liu Qingshan hurried back to the room.

   "Hello, this is Miss Gu, sorry to keep you waiting."

   After entering the room, Liu Qingshan showed his white teeth and stretched out his hand to greet him.

  The female reporter in front of me: she looks less than 30 years old, wearing a well-fitting dress with a long skirt.

   Wearing a pair of glasses, her hair is combed in a few big waves that are not eye-catching, which is naturally worn, showing a kind of intellectual beauty.

  Gu Yaya sized up the childish young man in front of her: the clothes were shabby and patched, but they were clean.

  The face is still immature, but also has delicate features. The corners of the mouth were slightly raised, and the eyes were clear, without the ignorance or frivolity that she had seen too much.

  It gave her the feeling that this is a very special boy.

  How should I put it, it's a bit like... like the sunlight shining into the room from the glass window, which makes people feel very comfortable.

   "It's okay, I just arrived soon!"

   After shaking hands and exchanging greetings, the interview officially began.

   Gu Yaya sat at the table, holding a notebook and a pen, and asked first: "I heard that your English is very good, can you introduce yourself in English?"

  Liu Qingshan's lips curled up: Big sister doesn't really believe in herself.

   Okay, let’s introduce it, there is no difficulty at all.

   "My name is Liu Qingshan, and I come from... (fluent English

   "Wait a minute, you spoke too fast, I, I didn't write it down."

  Gu Yaya used the end of the pen to tidy up a few strands of hair that were hanging down behind her ears, so as to cover up the little embarrassment in her heart.

  Reporters know how to take shorthand. Of course, it's not that their pens can't keep up, but their ears can't keep up.

  Her English level is average, but the boy opposite speaks too fluently. It's like pouring water, how can anyone keep up?

   "Sister Gu, let's use our native dialect, I think it's more friendly." Of course Liu Qingshan knew the problem, so he took the initiative to pass a step.

  Gu Yaya didn't have any thoughts about the school exam at the moment, she nodded with a smile, and then, the two of them had questions and answers, and chatted.

  As a well-known reporter for the provincial newspaper, Gu Yaya has of course interviewed many people, even many important figures among them.

  But never has it been as pleasant as today.

  The boy spoke very funny and made her laugh several times.

  Liu Qingshan controlled the rhythm of the interview without any trace, and easily and casually portrayed himself as a positive image of himself who has worked hard to learn foreign languages ​​since he was a child, and then played a role at critical moments.

   In particular, it is emphasized that when dealing with foreign guests, you must be polite and restrained, neither humble nor overbearing, and don't lose the backbone of the Chinese.

  Hearing the back, Gu Yaya almost couldn't help but want to applaud, but because of the rigor of the reporter, she will go to the morning market in the park tomorrow morning to conduct a supplementary interview.

  Of course, another person involved will be interviewed later, that is, Mr. Thomas.

  In this era, people are very strict in doing things, especially reporters.

  Dangdang, someone knocked on the door.

  Actually, the door was always open. Liu Qingshan sat on the bed, facing the door, and saw Gangzi wandering around the door for a long time.

   After saying "Please come in", Liu Quangang entered the room. Even a fashionable young man like him was a little nervous when facing reporters.

   After obviously taking a deep breath, he said: "Well...comrade reporter, I was there at the time, can you interview me?"

   Gu Yaya has seen a lot of this kind of random interviews, and she is naturally familiar with handling them.

  With a few words, Gangzi smiled. This guy also took the initiative to invite Gu Yaya to go and see his little brother, teach them how to spacewalk, and then have dinner together at night.

  Gu Yaya turned her head to look at Liu Qingshan, blinked her big eyes, and asked curiously: "Can't you tell, you still have a talent for dancing?"

  What kind of moonwalk, she, a well-informed reporter, has never heard of it.

   "Interests are purely personal interests." Liu Qingshan doesn't want to be labeled as a foreigner.

   You know, in the past two years, although the atmosphere has become better and hats are no longer flying everywhere, there is nothing wrong with being careful.

  At the end of the interview, Gu Yaya stood up and took the initiative to shake hands with Liu Qingshan. Her attitude was much closer than when they first met.

   "Big reporter, goodbye." Liu Quangang also shyly shook hands with him.

  Gu Yaya bid farewell and left. On the way back to the agency, she murmured to herself: If only I had such a diligent, studious and talented younger brother...

  The rest of the afternoon, Liu Qingshan spent teaching dancing.

  Only Brother Fei, Liu Quangang, and Xiaomei were present today, and Liu Qingshan felt much more relaxed.

   According to Gangzi, Brother Fei’s real name is Wu Jianjun. Needless to say, he must have been born on August 1st Army Day.

  In this era, there are many names with distinctive characteristics of the times: Jianguo, Jianjun, Weihong, etc., all of which bear the imprint of this era!

  In the evening, everyone found a restaurant nearby. After ordering food and drinks, Liu Qingshan paid the bill first, but Brother Fei stopped him.

  He shook his flowing long hair, and said loudly: "Hey, how can I ask you to pay for it on my brother's land?"

  Liu Quangang laughed twice, stretched out three fingers and shook and said: "Brother Fei, Brother Qingshan is now a big business, and sold a few pots of flowers in the morning, and there are three troughs."

  Caozi is the local dialect, and a trough is one thousand yuan.

   Seeing that Brother Fei was also shocked, he continued: "Besides, he also saved a foreigner, and reporters have come to interview him."

   "Let me tell you, our little brother is amazing!"

  Brother Fei couldn't help re-examining Liu Qingshan, and said a little unskillfully: "Yes, it's so cool!"

  However, he still didn't ask Liu Qingshan to pay the bill, but evaded and said: Let him arrange it when he goes to play with Liu Qingshan later.

  Liu Qingshan, who saved his meal money, was not ambiguous, and gave Fei Ge and Liu Quangang the two big front doors that he had prepared. This time, Brother Fei didn't refuse.

  During the dinner, everyone made an appointment to meet tomorrow morning and take the old man to see a doctor

   It is easy to have acquaintances!

   Liu Qingshan was both excited and grateful. He felt that Brother Fei and Liu Quangang were quite good friends.

  After finishing the meal, Brother Fei slowly picked his teeth with a toothpick, and told Liu Qingshan, "Brother Qingshan, with so much money, it's best not to stay in a hotel, do you have any relatives in the city?"

  Liu Quangang also nodded: "The past two years have been really evil. It has become more and more uneven, and there are more desperadoes. Some big cases are like a fountain, whistling out."

  Hearing this, Liu Qingshan's heart skipped a beat, recalling a major event: 1983, the crackdown is about to begin!.

  Strike hard, that is, in 1983, left the deepest imprint on people.

   Under the thunder, who can stop it?

  Remember that the crackdown should have started in August, and now it is July, which is next month.

  Looking around, there were no other customers, so Liu Qingshan leaned forward and lowered his voice: "Two brothers, do you believe me?"

   "Believe it, Qingshan, you are so capable, why don't we believe it!"

  Liu Quangang is almost engaged in blind worship now, Brother Fei also nodded emphatically.

   "That's good, I think, the society must not be in such a mess forever, and the higher ups must come to a ruthless rectification!"

  Liu Qingshan clenched his fists and punched forward.

  Gangzi was also leaning over to listen carefully. He was startled and threw his head back vigorously. As a result, he and the chair all fell backward with a bang.

  Liu Qingshan hurried up and pulled him up. Then I heard Gangzi muttering: "What does that have to do with us, is it wrong to dance?"

  Hey, really don’t say that, Liu Qingshan remembers that at that time, there was a very famous actor who called a group of young men and women to sing and dance at home.

   As a result, he jumped and jumped into the prison.

   Later, it seems that some tapes such as tears behind bars were released, singing all over the streets and alleys, as if everyone is a prisoner of labor reform.

  So he asked again in a low voice: "You two brothers, have you done anything out of the ordinary?"

"No no!"

  Seeing that the heads of the two were shaking like rattles, Liu Qingshan felt a little relieved.

  Wu Jianjun took a cigarette in his mouth and took a few puffs: "Qingshan, where did you get this news from?"

  Liu Qingshan did not say a word, but raised an index finger and pointed upwards.

  So that's the case, Wu Jianjun understood.

  There must be a way from above, otherwise, a boy from a mountain village, who can speak English, who can dance a dance that has just become popular abroad?

   In this way, Liu Qingshan's words must be taken seriously.

  He stubbed out the cigarette **** and said: "Well, be careful, there is no big mistake. During this time, you just calm down. Change your outfit quickly tomorrow and go to work, don't spend three days fishing and two days drying the net."

  Gangzi curled his lips, obviously a little careless, he lowered his head and tied his head with Xiaomei, jiggling and crooked.

  Liu Qingshan said solemnly: "Brother Jianjun, my grandfather and I went to the city to see a doctor. We are not familiar with the place where we live. If we meet enthusiastic people like you and Brother Gangzi to help, I don't want to say more about my thanks."

   "I just want to remind you that now that the above policies are in order, our country will soon develop rapidly. If you don't learn and keep up with the times, you will definitely be left farther and farther away."

  Wu Jianjun glanced over, admiringly: Although this little brother is not very old, but he has a broad vision and a big heart, and he will definitely be a big deal in the future.

  Thinking about himself again, Wu Jianjun shook his head and sighed: "In those years when I went to school, I caught up with the special period, and I didn't study seriously. It's too late to study now."

   "It's not too late, it's not too late at all!"

  Liu Qingshan moved forward again: "I heard that the higher authorities intend to do business with Lao Maozi. This is a huge business opportunity."

"Really?"

  Wu Jianjun couldn't help getting excited. He is not a quiet master. If there is a profitable business, he really wants to try it.

   "So we don't need anything else. In the past two years, we will strive to learn Maozi's dialect. When the border trade opens, money will flow in. There will be gold everywhere. It depends on whether you have the ability to pick it up."

   Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

  He is really grateful to Wu Jianjun for helping the old man, so he doesn't mind showing him a bright way.

   "Learn, you must learn, Gangzi, you have to learn together!"

   "Learn what? Learn to dance, let's go, I know there is a night club for dancing!"

  After listening to half of the conversation, Gangzi stood up excitedly, and was rewarded with a chestnut by Wu Jianjun!
