Spring Breeze 1991

On October 10th, Yao Yuan set off early in the morning, took a shuttle bus to the CPPCC building, found a nearby breakfast stand and spent 5 yuan to eat a bowl of tofu flower and a deep-fried dough stick, and then ate under the shade of a tree in front of the building Sit down and wait.

The rise in prices is obvious. In the past two years, you could eat a bowl of tofu flower and a deep-fried dough stick for 90 cents, but this year you need [-] yuan.After entering the [-]s, people generally feel that many things are expensive and wages are not enough. Dual-earner families also obviously feel that their expenditures are increasing, but their income has not changed.

Calls for higher wages are growing louder.

Cars drove into the CPPCC compound one after another, and Santana was the most, followed by 212 Jeep, and finally V31 Pajero.The latter is the special car of the big leaders, the leaders at the deputy department level and the leaders at the bureau level with real power.Yao Yuan saw that the last ones to enter the compound were two Toyota ms132s, namely the eighth-generation Crown, the absolute C-class luxury cars these days, crushing the Mercedes-Benz at this time.

Obviously, it was the special car of the two bigwigs in the city.

Yao Yuan slowly sorted out his scattered memories. From the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan to the first decade of the 21st century, the Nangang area was dominated by Japanese cars, and a large number of Japanese cars imported in the 90s survived. This is a very big problem. market.

For example, V31 Pajero, within a few years, this car will become the absolute main force of official vehicles in Nangang area, from city leaders to township leaders, either Pajero or Crown.

In 1993, the local automobile factory will produce a variety of Japanese cars, European and American cars in the CKD model, which is an excellent opportunity for Yao Yuan.It is now December 1991, and there is still more than a year to spare, so the preparatory work must be completed as soon as possible.

Yao Yuan risked taking the opportunity of empty-handed white wolf to import white sugar, precisely because he didn't have much time left.

He has lived nearly 60 years in his two lifetimes, and what he lacks most is patience. However, in this era full of opportunities, his youthful heart still cannot calm down.

While waiting for Yu Tieli for an hour, Yao Yuan did a mental tidying up for himself, got up and shook his numb legs, patted his buttocks, and tidied up his rough work clothes.

Yu Tieli came out in the V31, and Yao Yuan strode over and opened the door to get in the car, heading to the Agricultural Bank of China five kilometers away.

"Why are you wearing the work clothes of our bureau, where did you get them?" Yu Tieli looked at Yao Yuan.

This is the work clothes of the cadres of the Farm Management Bureau, which are not worn by ordinary employees.

"I found it at the junkyard," Yao Yuan said.

"Just talk nonsense." Yu Tieli shook his head and didn't say anything.

I really found it from the old man's scrap pile. It looked like a new one at the time, so I kept it. I didn't expect it to come in handy today.

At the gate of the Agricultural Bank, Yao Yuan said, "Brother Yu, please wait for me for a few minutes."

"I'm not in a hurry, you should take care of your business first." Yu Tieli said, waving his hands.

Yao Yuan went straight to Gao Jian's office and said straight to the point, "President Gao."

"Why are you here? Didn't you tell me? I will notify you as soon as there is news." Gao Jian said.

Yao Yuan smiled and said, "It's not about the loan. Today is just the time for the leader to come over for a meeting, so I'll drop by to see you. By the way, is there any problem with the collateral verification?"

Gao Jian's attention was attracted by the words "accompany the leader to the meeting", he got up and poured a cup of tea for Yao Yuan, and said with a smile, "It should be fine, but the normal procedure is indispensable, 70 is not A small sum."

He noticed Yao Yuan's work clothes and raised his eyebrows, "Xiao Yao, are you from the Farm Management Bureau?"

Yao Yuan smiled, and didn't take this issue, but said, "Of course there are no less procedures, but the same procedure may take a day, and sometimes it may take a month, or even a year, right?"

Gao Jian heard the implication, isn't it a word from the leader?

Chatted a few words in a neutral manner, before finishing a cup of tea, Yao Yuan got up and rolled up his sleeves to reveal a gold watch, looked at the time, and said, "I have to take the driver to pick up the leader, President Gao, I Waiting for your good news."

Said, waved his hand and left.

"I send you."

Gao Jian sent Yao Yuan downstairs, saw Yao Yuan get on the v31 with his own eyes, and looked at the license plate number, he gasped.He is not ignorant of the goods. This car costs 40 million units. In the entire Nangang area, only the big bosses of Minmetals, Farm Management Bureau, and Port Authority, which can affect the regional gdp every minute, are equipped with special cars. This car has just To go public, you can't buy it with money, and you have to have channels.

Even the mayor still sits Santana.

Thinking of Yao Yuan's cadre uniform and that gold watch that was worth a lot of money at first sight, Gao Jian made up his mind, and said to himself, "No wonder this kid is so courageous!"

He went back to the office thinking about something on his mind, took out the loan contract and signed it, took it out and went to the president to sign it.

The gold watch Yao Yuan was wearing was a counterfeit, it was copper-plated, but it was not cheap either. It sold for more than 100 yuan, but it was by no means expensive jewelry.His father won the May [-]st model worker in the county two years ago, and the prize was this watch.Dad kept it like a treasure, and Yao Yuan secretly took it out to pretend.

"I'm not in a hurry, I'll take you home." Yu Tieli said while smoking a cigarette and steering the steering wheel.

Yao Yuan hesitated for a while and said, "Take me back to school."

"Row."

v31 came to the gate of Xigong University at a high speed, Yao Yuan insisted on getting off outside the school gate, Yu Tieli could only listen to him, and made an appointment to have a drink together in a few days, and the two waved goodbye.

Xihai University of Technology was originally a mechanical engineering college directly under the Ministry of Machinery, but it was later handed over to the local government and directly under the Ministry of Education. The level of the subordinate university has not changed. It is a top-ranked key engineering university. The administrative level of the president is one level higher than that of the mayor of Nangang. Level, proper deputy department.

The scale of this school is small, with more than 5000 students in the school. In terms of the difficulty of admission, it is no less difficult than top universities such as Tsinghua University and Peking University.If Yao Yuan hadn't been the number one student in the college entrance examination in Xihai County, it would have been a little difficult to get into this school.

The reason why NPU is great is that most of the students who graduate from this school are assigned to work in national ministries and commissions. In the eyes of local people, they are "officials in the center of the imperial court" and are Beijing cadres.Only a few students who are relatively poor will be assigned to large central enterprises, large state-owned enterprises and the following provinces and cities.

Although it is no longer under the Department of Machinery, and the Department of Machinery has long since ceased to exist, the school's brand name is still very strong, and it is the Whampoa Military Academy in the machinery industry.

Yao Yuan was assigned to work in a research institute under a large central enterprise after graduating from the school in his last life. The unit has changed several times since the research institute became a research center and then a research institute. He was promoted all the way. He also became a director-level researcher from an ordinary technical researcher. As a researcher, he holds billions of research funds and several national research projects all year round.

In a few years, after the enrollment expansion of colleges and universities, Western Polytechnic University will not be able to avoid it. In just a few years, four campuses have been built, and the number of students in the school has reached more than 4. After the distribution system disappeared in the long river of history, the school gradually declined. It is already a matter of 2020 to become a second-rate industrial school and regain its glory, but it is a pity that it will never return to its former peak state.

It's a pity.

Walking along the main road, the tall coconut trees on both sides grow casually. The picture in memory coincides with the picture he saw at this time. Only then did Yao Yuan truly feel the huge gap between the times.

"Jingle bell~"

A women's bicycle came from behind, and Yao Yuan leaned to the side of the road. The bicycle stopped in front of Yao Yuan. The woman riding the bicycle was wearing a sleeveless dress, with a ponytail upright, a pair of small white shoes on her feet, and a light yellow cap. A straw hat, with a bow on it, Yao Yuan's eyes lit up.

The woman got out of the car and turned around, smiling.

Yao Yuan stopped immediately, staring blankly.

This is probably how people feel when they come from paintings.

Lin Shuting, English teacher.

"Yao Yuan? It's really you." Lin Shuting said.

Yao Yuan calmed down and walked over, "Hello, young lady."

Lin Shuting was taken aback, "What did you say?"

"Miss sister, you will always be the young lady in my heart." Yao Yuan smiled.

At the 50th anniversary of graduation in her previous life, Lin Shuting, who was nearly 20 years old at the time, looked no different from a girl in her [-]s. She was a goddess of frozen age, and a group of female students who were out of shape shouted that God was unfair.

Lin Shuting's face turned red immediately. She felt that this title seemed frivolous, but it was not a problem literally. It felt weird. She said angrily, "It's Teacher Lin."

"Okay, Teacher Lin." Yao Yuan smiled again. Lin Shuting was only 23 years old and only started working this semester.

Lin Shuting looked at Yao Yuan and asked, "Why are you wearing work clothes? This seems to be the work clothes of the farm management bureau cadres?"

"Yes, I picked it up from the trash, and it's quite new." Yao Yuan said while sweeping the non-existing dust on the hem of his clothes.

Lin Shuting felt nervous and said, "It's quite new. Why didn't you go home? I remember your home is in Xihai."

"If you have nothing to do at home, come out for a stroll and find something to do." Yao Yuan said casually, it is true that he has something to do when he is out, but he doesn't want to talk about his sugar business.

But to Lin Shuting's ears, it has another meaning - the family's financial difficulties come out to do odd jobs to earn food expenses during the holidays.Although college students still receive food subsidies, prices have risen sharply in the past two years, and the food subsidies of more than ten yuan a month are not enough to eat.Coupled with the fact that Yao Yuan had to scavenge for clothes from the trash, the result was obvious.

Lin Shuting pushed the cart and Yao Yuan towards the library, and asked, "The vacation is only a few days away, what are you looking for to do?"

"It's nothing, so I just went back to school and planned to go to the library to read books." Yao Yuan said.

Lin Shuting shook her thin lips lightly, and said, "How about I help you contact the Student Affairs Office and find a work-study position in the school, there should be both the canteen and the library."

"No, no, no." Yao Yuan quickly refused. He wanted to say that he was not short of money, but felt that it was too high-profile, so he could only refuse abruptly, "It's really not necessary, thank you, Mr. Lin."

Lin Shuting only thought that his pride was at work, so she didn't insist, and said, "Okay, then you can come to me anytime you have any difficulties, I'm your teacher."

"I will definitely look for you." Yao Yuan stared into Lin Shuting's eyes.

Lin Shuting was startled, and looked away. Why did this student suddenly become different? His gaze was too bold. Is this still the top student who looks like a gourd?

"I'm leaving first, don't forget to go to class the day after tomorrow." Lin Shuting pushed a bicycle and rode away, feeling inexplicably confused.

Yao Yuan looked at the back of Lin Shuting going away, the corners of his mouth slowly raised, he was in a good mood, this era is so beautiful!

"Yao Yuan? Hey! You nerd!"

Accompanied by the roar of the motorcycle, the 125cc Honda men's motorcycle was directly in front of Yao Yuan. The driver was Chen Jiahao, wearing a floral shirt and jeans and wearing toad glasses. The goddess in the eyes of most boys was sitting in the back seat, sophomore sister Zhang Xiaoqi , tights and flared trousers, and the toad frame is on top of the peaked cap.

"Hey! Why is Zhuangyuan Lang dressed like this? Hey, where did you steal the work clothes of the Farm Management Bureau?" Chen Jiahao set up the car and looked Yao Yuan up and down.

Yao Yuan smiled and said, "It was found in the trash."

Chen Jiahao jumped back exaggeratedly, "What? It was found out of the garbage dump? I said Yao Yuan, you are too embarrassing to our Xigong University! Why are you digging through the garbage dump like a beggar?"

His voice was very loud, which attracted the attention of the students passing by, and they all pointed in this direction.

Yao Yuan smiled slightly, without the slightest embarrassment.

Zhang Xiaoqi stood there with her arms folded. Although she didn't say anything, the disgust on her face was clearly visible. She secretly scolded herself for being blind. Why did she take the initiative to write love poems to such a person in the first place!

What a shame!

In Yao Yuan's eyes, Chen Jiahao's behavior is like a child showing off after getting a toy, he doesn't take it seriously at all, he is really stupid if he really cares about him.

He smiled and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Chen Jiahao patted the seat and said, "Didn't you just buy a motorcycle, take Xiaoqi for a ride. Today's motorcycle is really good, with good power and good suspension."

"Yes, the motorcycles made by Honda are still acceptable." Yao Yuan agreed.

Chen Jiahao felt uncomfortable. He imagined that Yao Yuan saw him and Zhang Xiaoqi being so close together, with a motorcycle worth more than 1 yuan under his crotch. He should be angry, envious and jealous. Why is it this " Uh huh, what you said is right" performance?

"This car is more than 1 yuan, and a household with [-] yuan can't afford it." Chen Jiahao said proudly.

Yao Yuan nodded slightly again, "Well, I heard that even if you have money, you can't buy it, there must be something to do with it."

"Yes, yes, yes..." Chen Jiahao blurted out before he felt something was wrong, hey, why did I agree with him, this script is wrong!

Yao Yuan said, "Jiahao, Xiaoqi, you guys have fun, I'm leaving first."

Looking at Yao Yuan's back, Chen Jiahao's heart suddenly took a deep breath, as if he had punched cotton with his fist, it was unbearable!

"Yao Yuan, wait!"

Zhang Xiaoqi suddenly caught up.

Yao Yuan stood still, Zhang Xiaoqi stood in front of him, glared at Chen Jiahao who was about to come over, then stared at Yao Yuan, and Yao Yuan also looked at her seriously.

In all fairness, Zhang Xiaoqi is indeed a beauty, with a tall figure and exquisite facial features. She is an original goddess who will hardly be seen in 20 years, and she is also a talented woman. She is even sweeter with the intellectual beauty unique to this era.

"Yao Yuan, I want to clarify something with you." Zhang Xiaoqi said seriously.

Yao Yuan was puzzled, "Huh?"

Zhang Xiaoqi said, "It's impossible for us, so don't put on such a face!"
