Yang Rui and Jing Yulan were pedaling a bicycle alone. Following the army of bicycles, they rode on the way home from get off work. The afternoon sun warmed their bodies, and the breeze caressed like devil's feathers.

There are workers, students, and civil servants in front, back, left, and left, and there are bold or soft chattering voices, which have both a breath of life and a romantic atmosphere.

During this period of time, any car should not try to let go of the accelerator pedal. Whether it is a bicycle lane or a driveway, it is full of bicycles at this time. A six-lane road is lined with dozens of bicycles. Walking next to each other at almost the same speed. Sometimes, two cars are so close that they almost rub shoulders, and others have to give them a little push to avoid traffic accidents.

Most cyclists have very good skills. People with one-handed or no handlebars can be seen everywhere, and it is not uncommon for a bicycle to carry one or even two people.

People sitting in the back seat or the front seat often don't care about the surrounding situation, or they chat seriously, or fight seriously.

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

Yang Rui and Jing Yulan were talking in a low voice, and from time to time they used their thick arms to block the approaching bicycles to gain more space.

He is tall and has long arms, and he has practiced bench press for more than a year. The muscles on his arms are as hard as stones. Even through a coat, he can see a clear difference even if he is a worker who has been doing physical work all year round. Due to the limitation of talent, he will not be stronger than him, so the space around Yang Rui is wider than others.

After Jing Yulan noticed it, she couldn't help but flatten her mouth and say, "Overbearing."

Yang Rui sighed and said, "Unfortunately not the president."

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

The Jing family moved to the family courtyard of Zhongsi Company.

As an enterprise that earns foreign exchange, the treatment of China National Silk Corporation was top notch in the 1980s. Although the Bank of China takes away all the foreign exchange they earn as usual, it is much more generous in terms of RMB income, and the government gives more subsidies and preferential policies every year.

In terms of employee benefits, the Zhongsi Family Hospital exceeds the average level in terms of geographical location and housing area.

As the deputy general manager, Jing Cuncheng's salary is better. The area of ​​the house is more than 300 square meters. It is a large five-bedroom and two living room. There is also a nanny's room. It's not small,

It also has a scale of two to three hundred square meters. However, unlike commodity buildings, cadre buildings like this are not only not calculated according to the construction area, but also often shrink in terms of housing costs. The walkways and stairs inside will also be removed from the residential area, what's more, the nanny's room and toilet can be removed from the area of ​​the house.

The decoration in the room is also in accordance with the level. Although the decoration style can not help but imitate several large foreign-related hotels, it is a bit uncoordinated, but in terms of decoration and luxury, this is what Yang Rui saw in the 1980s Residential at its finest.

A 30-year-old nanny opened the door, put shoes in the porch, and said with a smile: "Aunt Xu is in the kitchen, she wants to cook by herself, don't let me touch your hands, you sit first, I'll go." Tell me."

Yang Rui said while changing his shoes, "This house is really nice."

"The monthly rent is 8 yuan, which is enough for half a month's food." Jing Yulan bent down to help Yang Rui arrange his shoes, and helped him take off his coat from behind and hung it on the hanger .

Yang Rui rolled his eyes when he heard this. It is located on the second ring road of Beijing, with a building area of ​​800 square meters, and a luxuriously decorated mature community house with an usable area of ​​300 to 400 square meters. The monthly rent is only half a month's food for ordinary workers.

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

"What are you renting? How expensive is it? My dad has a housing subsidy, so we only rented it. The Tongzilou next to it only costs three yuan a month." Jing Yulan said as she recalled the scene of her family living in the Pingjiang Hotel. She pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "You're not afraid of wasting money, you can rent it, if you've run out of money, ask me to borrow it."

"How much money can you save with your salary?" Yang Ruiyao sighed leisurely thinking about the housing subsidy.

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

"The dormitory is much better than the one in Xibao Middle School. It's a building anyway. However, the convenience is not necessarily more convenient than in middle school." Yang Rui pressed the sofa and said with a smile: "I haven't sat on the sofa for a long time."

"It's also rented. All the furniture here costs two yuan and five yuan a month. I can't afford to buy it myself."

Yang Rui was speechless again, and said: "You have broken the sofa, and the rent is not enough to pay for the sofa."

Jing Yulan didn't understand why, and said, "We just moved here, we don't have any furniture, so of course we have to rent it."

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

After a while, Mother Jing came out of the kitchen wiping her hands, greeted Yang Rui with a smile, and even brought up the incidents in Hedong one by one, interspersed with various thanks.

After saying this, Mother Jing asked Yang Rui about the school situation, and she didn't go back to the kitchen with a smile until the nanny came over and said "the fish is ready".

Yang Rui rubbed his forehead and said with shame: "I'm really nervous."

Jing Yulan covered her mouth and laughed twice.

A few minutes later, Jing's mother began to bring cold dishes to the table, and said: "Yang Rui, eat something to pad your stomach first, your Uncle Jing can't leave early, just finished the meeting, and he's on the way right now, he'll be there soon, you sit down Let's talk, by the way, is Yang Rui drinking? Take a bottle of wine from the cabinet..."

Jing Yulan went to get it as she said, but Yang Rui quickly waved his hand and said, "I don't drink alcohol, I'm dizzy and can't do anything."

"Then drink beer, the alcohol content of beer is low." Mother Jing was very polite.

Ding dong!

While talking, the doorbell rang.

The nanny went to open the door, and Mother Jing smiled and said, "It's probably your Uncle Jing who came back."

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

"Oh, old Liu, why are you here?" Mother Jing had no choice but to greet her, but a middle-aged woman of similar age came in, followed by a man in his thirties.

"This is my son Li Xin, a postgraduate graduate from East China Textile Engineering Institute. He just came back a few days ago and was assigned to our Central Silk Factory. Isn't he here to drop by?" The middle-aged woman introduced her son and looked at him again. Room, smiled and said: "Every time I come to your house, I think your decoration is good, but unfortunately our house is not up to date, there is only a small director, and we can't get a big one when we divide the house. Oh, you have guests in your house Ah, look at me, it's a strange coincidence."

As it happened, she had no intention of leaving, so she changed into her slippers and dragged her son in.

"Hello, Aunt Xu." Li Xin greeted, neither warm nor cold, his eyes swept over Jing Yulan, and then he lowered his head.

"Xiao Li, hello, hello." Mother Jing said a little uncomfortably, "I'm cooking. Here, Xiao Lan, please say hello to Aunt Liu, see you."

"I've seen it before. I saw you when you came here. Xiao Lan is really handsome. I heard that she works at Beijing Normal University as a teacher?" Aunt Liu interrupted with a smile on her face.

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

"Is Xiaolan a college student too?"

"Yes."

"That's great, our Xiaoxin's graduate student has been studying for three years. You two should have something to talk about."

Yang Rui couldn't help but smile when he heard the word "Xiaoxin".

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

"It's from my hometown, I'm studying in Beijing." Yang Rui answered on his behalf.

"People from Hedong Province? It's good to find a fellow villager. Old Xu and his family are like this. They have a good personality and a good heart. They are willing to help." After saying something casually, Aunt Liu turned to Jing Yulan and said, "Xiaolan Are you used to it when you arrive in the capital? Have you gone to all the streets and alleys? Our Xiaoxin grew up in Beijing. When you get off work, ask him to accompany you for a stroll. He knows everything, huh? "

She snorted, and her son hurriedly said, "Before I went to college, I ran on the street every day. Ask me what you want to buy and eat, and I know everything."

"Thank you." Jing Yulan glanced at Yang Rui carelessly. At this point in the conversation, everyone knew that this was the step of a blind date, and it was a surprise blind date.

Of course, in the 1980s, blind dates were not talked about, and even the introduction of partners was not mentioned, everything was kept silent.

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

Not long after, Jing Cuncheng and his uncle Xu Wu came in one after another, and Aunt Liu and Li Xin were also arranged to serve.

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

Aunt Liu couldn't help coughing heavily.
