Yang Rui and Jing Yulan pedaled a bicycle alone, riding on the way to work with the army of bicycles, the afternoon sun sprinkled on their bodies warmly, and the breeze caressed like the devil's feathers.

There are workers, students, and civil servants in front of and behind them, and there is a bold or soft chat, which has both a life atmosphere and a romantic atmosphere.

In this time period, no car should be delusional to spread the joy of stepping on the accelerator, whether it is a bicycle lane or a lane, at this time it is full of bicycles, a six-lane road, the horizontal row is dozens of bicycles, one next to the other, at almost the same speed forward, sometimes, two cars close to each other, almost rubbing shoulders, others have to use a nudge, so that there will be no traffic accidents.

Most cyclists have good skills, and it is not uncommon for people to hold the handlebars with one hand or even not, and it is not uncommon for a bicycle to carry one or even two people.

People in the back or front seat tend to be oblivious to their surroundings, or take their chats or fights seriously.

Occasionally, when there is a problem at an intersection, thousands of bicycles will stop the entire street, and if you stand on the back seat of a car, you can see a spectacular traffic jam of thousands of bicycles.

Yang Rui and Jing Yulan whispered, and from time to time used their thick arms to block the approaching bicycles in order to compete for more space.

He is tall and has long arms, and has more than a year of bench press exercise, the muscles on his arms are as hard as stones, even if he is through the coat, a little encouragement, you can see the obvious difference, even if it is a worker who does physical work all year round, due to the limitation of talent, it will not be stronger than him, and the space around Yang Rui is more spacious than others.

After Jing Yulan noticed it, she couldn't help but flatten her mouth and said, "Domineering." ”

Yang Rui sighed and said, "It's a pity that it's not the president." ”

Jing Yulan looked at him blankly, obviously not finding the point of laughter.

The Jing family moved to the family home of China Silk Company.

As an enterprise that earns foreign exchange, the treatment of China National Silk Corporation was the best in the 80s. Although the Bank of China is routinely required to collect all the foreign exchange they earn, it is much more generous in terms of renminbi income, and the government gives more subsidies and preferential policies every year.

In terms of employee welfare, the Sinosilk Family Home has exceeded the average level in terms of geographical location and housing area.

As the deputy general manager, Jing Cuncheng's treatment is better, the area of the home is more than 300 square meters, it is a large five-bedroom and two living rooms, and there is a nanny room, the small garden in front of the building and the utility room at the back of the building are also not small, and there are also two or three hundred square meters of scale. However, unlike commercial buildings, cadre buildings like this are not only not calculated according to the floor area, but often shrink in the house book, such as the garden in front of the building and the utility room behind the building, which will not be counted in the area of course, and the walkway and stairs in the house will also be removed from the residential area, and even more, the nanny room and toilet can be removed from the area of the house.

The decoration of the room is also according to the level, although the decoration style is inevitably modeled on several large foreign-related hotels, which is a little uncoordinated, but in terms of decoration and luxury, this is the best residence Yang Rui saw in the 80s.

A nanny about thirty years old opened the door, put shoes in the entrance of the door, and said with a smile: "Aunt Xu is in the kitchen, she wants to cook by herself, don't let me touch my hands, you sit first, I'll tell you." ”

Yang Rui said while changing his shoes: "This house is really good. ”

"The rent of 8 yuan a month is enough for me to eat for half a month. Jing Yulan bent down and helped Yang Rui put his shoes away, and then helped him take off his coat from behind and hang it on the hanger.

Yang Rui listened to the eyelids, located in the second ring road of Beijing, with a construction area of 800 square meters, and a luxurious and mature residential area with a use area of three or four hundred square meters, and the monthly rent is half a month's meal for ordinary workers.

Yang Rui said greedily: "I want to rent, but no one rents it to me." ”

"What is renting, how expensive, this is also my father's housing subsidy, so we rented. The tube building next to it only costs three yuan a month. Jing Yulan said and remembered the scene of the family living in the Pingjiang Hotel, pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "You are not afraid of wasting money, you can rent it, the money is spent, ask me to borrow it." ”

"You can save a few bucks on your salary. Yang Ruiyao thought about the housing subsidy and sighed leisurely.

"Not used to the dormitory?" Jing Yulan waited for Yang Rui to sit on the sofa in the living room, busily serving tea and pouring water.

"The dormitory is much better than that of Fort West Middle School, and it is also a building, but it is not necessarily more convenient than it was in middle school. Yang Rui pressed the sofa as he spoke, and said with a smile: "I haven't sat on the sofa for a long time." ”

"It's also rented, the furniture here is all two, five dollars a month, and I can't afford to buy it myself. ”

Yang Rui was speechless again and said, "You broke this sofa, and the rent is not enough to pay for the sofa." ”

Jing Yulan didn't know why, and said, "We just moved over, and we have no furniture, so of course we have to rent." ”

Yang Rui shook his head with a smile and said, "Socialism is good." ”

Suddenly, Jingmu wiped her hands and came out of the kitchen, greeted Yang Rui with a smile, and even took out the events in Hedong one by one to say, and mixed with all kinds of thanks.

After saying this, Jing's mother asked Yang Rui about the school again, and it wasn't until the nanny came over and said "the fish is good" that she went back to the kitchen with a smile.

Yang Rui touched his head and said embarrassedly: "I'm really nervous." ”

Jing Yulan covered her mouth and laughed twice.

A few minutes later, Jing's mother began to serve cold dishes to the table, and said: "Yang Rui, you eat some to cushion your stomach first, your Uncle Jing can't leave in advance, just finished the meeting, this time on the road, it will be there soon, you sit and talk, by the way, Yang Rui drinks? Take a bottle of wine from the cabinet and come out......

Jing Yulan went to get it according to her words, and Yang Rui hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I don't drink, I get dizzy after drinking, and I can't do anything." ”

"Then drink beer, the beer is low. "Jingmu is very polite.

Ding dong!

As he spoke, the doorbell rang.

The nanny went to open the door, and Jing's mother smiled: "It is estimated that your Uncle Jing is back." ”

The door opened, but an unfamiliar laugh came: "Sister Xu, I'm here to see you." ”

"Oh, Lao Liu, why are you here?" Jing's mother had to go over to greet her, but it was a middle-aged woman of the same age who came in, followed by a man in his thirties.

"This is my son Li Xin, a graduate of East China Textile Institute of Technology, just came back a few days ago, and was assigned to our China Silk Factory. The middle-aged woman introduced her son, looked at the room again, and said with a smile: "Every time I come to your house, I think your decoration is good, but it's a pity that our family is not angry, a small director, and the house can't be divided into a large set, hey, you have guests in your house, you look at me, it's not a coincidence." ”

said that it was unfortunate, she had no intention of leaving, so she still changed her slippers and pulled her son into the door.

"Aunt Xu is good. Li Xin said hello, neither enthusiastic nor cold, his eyes swept over Jing Yulan, and his head was lowered.

"Xiao Li, hello, hello. Jingmu said a little uncomfortably: "I'm cooking, this, Xiaolan, you can greet your Aunt Liu, I've seen it." ”

"I've seen it, I'll see you when you come, Xiaolan is really handsome, I heard that he works at Beijing Normal University and becomes a teacher?"

Jing Yulan smiled helplessly at Yang Rui, turned around and said, "I just went to Beijing Normal University, in the English department." ”

"Xiaolan is also a college student, right?"

"Yes. ”

"It's really good, our Xiaoxin is a graduate student, and I've been studying for three years, you two should have a topic, talk about it more. ”

When Yang Rui heard the word "Xiaoxin", he suddenly couldn't help but smile on his face.

Aunt Liu on the other side saw it, a little unhappy, and said, "I haven't asked yet, this is your relative?"

"Count me as a fellow countryman, I studied at a university in Beijing. Yang Rui replied on his behalf.

"It's good to be able to find fellow villagers in Hedong Province, Lao Xu's family is like this, they have a good personality, a good heart, and are willing to help. Aunt Liu turned her face and said to Jing Yulan: "Xiaolan is not used to it when she arrives in the capital?

She snorted in a nasal voice, and her son hurriedly said: "Before I went to college, I ran on the street every day, what you want to buy, what to eat, ask me, I know." ”

"Thank you. Jing Yulan glanced at Yang Rui carelessly, and at this point in the conversation, everyone knows that this is a blind date step, and it is a blind date in the form of a surprise attack.

Of course, in the 80s, I didn't talk about blind dates, and I didn't even say much about introducing the object.

Jing's mother is not easy to drive people, Aunt Liu is her colleague, and her husband is the director of the central ministries and commissions, and the two families have always been in contact.

Not long after, Jing Cuncheng and his eldest brother Xu Wu entered the door one after another, and Aunt Liu and Li Xin were also arranged to be served.

The only thing that surprised them was that Yang Rui sat on the upper seat under the arrangement of Jing's father and Jing's mother.

Aunt Liu couldn't help coughing heavily.
