Chapter 582


    Unknowingly, it has been five years since Chen Qi came here.


    He couldn''t help but sigh: "Oh, it''s only been 5 years since there were more than 500 chapters..."


    The capital city ushered in the new year, 1984, wrapped in silver!


    This year, Fan Xiaopang is 3 years old, Da Meiyuan is 5 years old, Liu Tianxian is not yet born, and her mother is still dancing in the Wuhan Song and Dance Troupe. Chen Qi can call her here with just a piece of paper...


    Dashilar, Xinhua Bookstore dormitory.


    On a day like New Year''s Day, it is natural to spend it with your parents.


    Neighbors are still not desensitized to the fact that the boy from the old Chen family married Gong Xue. Especially when they see Gong Xue busy helping Xiuli with cooking, there are countless resentments that can flood someone. die.


    "A-sneeze--a sneeze!"


    "Who scolded me?"


    Chen Qi lay comfortably on the bed in the back room, rubbed his nose, and shouted: "Mom, are you okay? I''m starving to death!"


    "Hurry, hurry!"


    "How about you give me some pig head meat pads?"


    "I think you look like a pig''s head!"


    In the midst of her busy schedule, Yu Xiuli rushed in waving a spatula and scolded: "You are a big boy. When you come back, you just lie down on the bed and do some work. You see, your dad is better than you!"


    “…”


    Chen Jianjun squatted in the corner and wiped the stools silently, eight times for each stool.


    Gong Xue came in with a tomato and said with a smile: "You are hungry, eat one first?"


    "Yo, tomatoes!"


    Chen Qi held it in his hand, looked at it, and shouted, "Mom, how many vegetables are there now?"


    Vegetables can be understood as winter vegetables such as cucumbers and tomatoes that are high in cost and low in yield.


    Yu Xiuli responded outside: "Not many, I managed to grab it. They said it was grown in a greenhouse in a village in Chaoyang. That family made a fortune and built 11 tile-roofed houses!"


    "Well, the folks are getting rich, and I, as a cadre, am also happy!"


    Chen Qi nodded.


    He gnawed on the tomatoes and waited for a while. The food was finally served. There were fish, meat, vegetables, wine, cigarettes, snacks and fruits, and the TV was turned on to listen to the sound. In the eyes of most people, this was... A life lived by gods.


    "Would you like a drink?" he asked.


    "I''ll have a drink."


    "That''s white!"


    "It''s okay. Today is New Year''s Day. Let''s have a drink with our parents."


    Gong Xue took the Maotai they brought and poured it for Chen Jianjun and Yu Xiuli. Yu Xiuli, a heroine among the girls, didn''t mind drinking. Then he poured about a tael himself. Chen Qi was shocked to see that a tael of liquor was a lot.


    After she poured the wine, he had to speak and raised his glass: "Mom and Dad, today is New Year''s Day, a rare reunion. We are both busy and can''t be around to fulfill our filial piety. It feels uncomfortable every time we talk about it... We propose a toast to you and wish you good health. ”


    "Mom and Dad, I wish you all the best!" Gong Xue continued.


    "Hey, okay!"


    "You can do whatever you want, you can''t do it anymore!"


    The four of them clinked a glass and took a sip. At the same time, they performed a necessary ritual for drinking white wine. Their facial features twisted together, their mouths opened, and a sound came from the depths of their souls: "Hiss-ha!"


    Liquor tastes terrible!


    After finishing the process, they took up their chopsticks to pick up the vegetables. Naturally, their parents asked about the lively house allocation at the Beijing Film Studio. They were shocked and confused. Yu Xiuli asked, "Then when can you move in?"


    "After the Spring Festival!"


    "That''s quick. It''s great. It will be convenient for you two in the future. It has heating and a flush toilet. The house is also big. If you install a telephone, you can have electric lights and telephones upstairs and downstairs."


    Gong Xue smiled and said: "Mom and Dad, Xiao Chen and I have discussed it. We want to take you to live upstairs, but not in this courtyard."


    "If you don''t want to go, you can live alone and we won''t interfere!"


    "We both still work, running back and forth every day? It''s so convenient to live here."


    Chen Qi also said: "Then we live in a building and you two live in a courtyard. Isn''t this a problem?"


    "What are you afraid of! We don''t want to go there ourselves. If anyone dares to gossip, I will scold him to death!"


    Yu Xiuli was very majestic and felt very happy. She would not go back unless she went, but this matter had to be brought up, especially by her daughter-in-law. She paused and then said, "You two have been married for half a year. Do you have any plans to have children?"


    "Well, I''ve thought about it, maybe this year or next year!" "Okay, you just have an idea!"


    My parents are even happier.


    The meal was in a harmonious atmosphere. At the end, Chen Qi threw some money to his parents, each giving one thousand yuan. Because he will be busy with the Spring Festival Gala later this year, he has to invite his parents to celebrate the New Year in person, so he won''t be able to have the New Year''s Eve dinner.


    Yu Xiuli knew he could earn it, so she didn''t show any pretense and just saved it. Anyway, she would have to spend it on her children in the future.


    The biggest disadvantage of living here is that Chen Qi and Gong Xue cannot stay overnight. Sometimes they really miss it, so their parents go to Lechunfang to stay for a few nights. After dinner, at the appointed time, the driver came to pick us up.


    He used the bus for personal use to the extreme, and he wished he had to use the bus to go to the toilet.


    There are many time-honored restaurants in Dashilan, so Chen Qi bought some soy sauce beef and a smoked chicken to take back. The time-honored brands of today are okay, better than those of later generations, which were characterized by being expensive and unpalatable.


    …


    "The central government issued the "Notice on Rural Work in 1984" and proposed that the extended land contract period should generally be more than 15 years."


    "China has officially become a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency."


    "The People''s Liberation Army Railway Corps was merged into the Ministry of Railways, and the divisions of the Railway Corps were renamed engineering bureaus of the Ministry of Railways..."


    There is nothing surprising about the first day of the new year.


    That night, the north wind howled, making it freezing cold outside. The TV was broadcasting news, then disappeared, and the power went out again.


    Chen Qi and Gong Xue lit candles and evaluated the manuscripts for tomorrow''s Spring Festival Gala. After the evaluation, the leaders decided who would organize it, and then the Spring Festival Gala on New Year''s Eve on February 1st.


    "I''ll do it again this year, waving my sleeves and flashing people away. I''m so busy, how can I have free time for the Spring Festival Gala!"


    "Will the leader still ask you to do it in the future?"


    "Then it depends on whether I have time. I am also completing national tasks by earning foreign exchange. I can''t force the apportionment, right? At least three requests and three concessions are in line with ancient etiquette..."


    Chen Qi made the final revisions to the manuscript by candlelight, put down the pen, exhaled, and touched his stomach: "I''m hungry!"


    "What do you want to eat?"


    "There''s still some beef in sauce, you can cut it all up."


    "You''re just greedy!"


    Gong Xue went to the kitchen and worked for a while, bringing out a plate of soy sauce beef, a plate of leftover smoked chicken, a plate of side dishes, a few steamed buns, a bowl of soup, and warm wine. Chen Qi let out a wow: "What a sumptuous late-night snack?"


    "It takes a lot of effort for you to use your brain, so you can eat whatever you want, and I''ll take care of the logistics for you."


    "What do you want from me?"


    To be honest, at that moment, Chen Qi''s mind flashed through the faces of many women whom he met through time travel, and then he felt that no one seemed to be like Sister Xue.


    "Shall I have a drink with you?"


    "Okay, if it''s a cold day, please come less."


    Chen Qi poured her a glass of wine, and the two of them ate and drank together, chatting about things all over the world, and the night got deeper and deeper.


    “The soy sauce beef over in Dashilan is delicious. I’ll buy some some other time.”


    "Well, this smoked chicken tastes worse."


    "Why?"


    Chen Qi suddenly felt happy, picked up a piece of chicken, and asked: "Sister, do you think chicken is more expensive or cow?"


    "Of course cattle are more expensive."


    "No, chicken is expensive. Cow is cheap, a drop in the bucket!"


    "You are making nonsense, and you are playing your humorous puzzle again."


    Gong Xue blinked her big eyes, but she was also curious: "How much does that chicken cost?"


    "The chicken has eight hairs."


    "Why Ji丿...cough cough cough! Nong Xing is dead!"


    Gong Xue bent over, coughing and laughing, almost out of breath, her face turned red. She wanted to stop but couldn''t help it: "You stinky bastard, where did you get so many improper things? You don''t learn well every day. "


    "I''m serious, you''re relying on me for your own lies?"


    "I''m going to hit you! It''s obviously you who hooked me up and said shit..."


    When the words came to her lips, she really couldn''t say them out. She just smiled while leaning on the table. Chen Qi also laughed. The fire in the house was warm, the wind was cold outside, she was relaxed and happy, and she was mixing oil in the honey pot without any burden for tomorrow.
