"Yang Rui, walk slowly, my dad asked you to tell me about the college entrance examination, have you forgotten?" Xiao Cheng was out of breath after catching up with Yang Rui and Wu Qian. Painful, I couldn't help saying: "You are really good at it, you ate more than two hundred for a meal, if I don't pay for it today, wouldn't you have to eat the overlord's meal?"

The term "overlord meal" was used a lot in the 1980s and 1990s. It was really expensive to eat a meal at this time. For a meal in Chunhelou, Yang Rui and others ordered two dishes, and there were many big dishes, and the cost of more than 200 yuan was not much.

At this time, the prices of restaurants are like this, and it is not uncommon for a meal to eat up two or three months of salary for ordinary people. Because of this, in the 1980s, it was only possible to get things done by treating guests to dinner. This is equivalent to spending tens of thousands of yuan in one go in later generations, which is not a normal behavior of normal people.

Normal people don't go to restaurants to eat, except for weddings and funerals, it's not uncommon for people not to go to restaurants for several years or even ten years. In fact, it’s not that the family is particularly rich, and they don’t go to hotels for weddings and funerals. Most people even borrow tables, chairs and pans from neighbors and colleagues, and wives and sisters-in-law from relatives and friends, and buy some chicken, duck and fish in their own alleys. , put things in order.

Xiaocheng is the son of the secretary of the municipal party committee, and he spends a lot on weekdays, but if he spends more than 200 yuan at a time, in later generations, it is equivalent to a one-stop high-end club. He feels comfortable spending it on himself, and spending it on Yang Rui. He is quite unhappy.

Xiao Cheng pulled Yang Rui's clothes and said, "Let's find a place where there are few people to talk, and don't wander off on the road. You didn't tell me anything about the college entrance examination."

"I'll send Wu Qian back to the guest house." Yang Rui glanced at Xiao Cheng, guessing what he was thinking. Yang Rui didn't think this guy really wanted to learn. The current college entrance examination is extremely difficult. Whether it is Wu Qian or the little waiter I met in the Chunhe Building just now, when they decide to take the college entrance examination, they are all betting their most precious youth and opportunities on others. From the above, it is conceivable that these young people who use the future as a bargaining chip will use what kind of passion and hard work to take the college entrance examination.

On the other hand, for students like Xiaocheng, most of them have gained local advantages because of good educational conditions, and they themselves do not have much desire to learn.

Xiaocheng, who has been hit repeatedly, shouldn't show weakness in front of Yang Rui and ask for "learning" on his own initiative.

Xiao Cheng didn't know that Yang Rui had a lot of thoughts in a flash, but he pretended to be hearty and said with a smile: "Then let's send Wu Qian back to the guest house, and then find a comfortable place to chat."

"Just chat while walking." Yang Rui smiled slightly: "What do you want to know?"

Wu Qian said from the side: "I want to hear it too."

"That's...it's the school, the exam, let's talk about Peking University first." Xiao Cheng didn't plan to really chat,

By the way, say Peking University.

Yang Rui let out an "oh" and said, "I don't know what aspect of Peking University you want to know. Compared with other schools, Peking University's humanistic environment feels more relaxed. There is more freedom in the school. It is not too difficult to talk or do things. To be supervised and managed, simply put, except for some specific occasions and obvious taboo topics, you can basically say what you want to talk about, and talk about whatever you want to talk about. Of course, if you cover it with an academic discussion, you can talk about it. more scope."

"Anything is fine?" Wu Qian asked curiously.

Yang Rui nodded: "The scope of chatting is very wide."

Wu Qian said enviously, "That's great."

What they call chatting is actually more of a discussion. The 1980s was an era of discussion. This era did not pay attention to private conversations, and there were no words like **. Everyone was talking, and everyone was crazily expressing their opinions.

Just a few years ago, people reported their fathers and husbands, but now it is too late to adjust to what they say and what they don’t say. It is better to be cautious in words and deeds. However, people have something to say, it’s always bad to keep it in your heart, the so-called fastness, sometimes, like a foreigner, there is always an urge to “do the right thing”.

Therefore, it was also in this era that the rare freedom of speech emerged. Celebrities, scholars, leaders, and cadres are all expressing their opinions frantically.

But speaking up doesn't come without a price.

There are always some units and leaders who are disgusted with rebellious remarks, and once criticized and punished.

Some erroneous criticisms and punishments have been reported and corrected, but more are still local restrictions on speech.

Of course, some "correct" criticisms and punishments were reported, so the parties involved inevitably encountered countless troubles.

For example, in Wu Qian's unit, it is okay to speak in private, but as a generation who upholds the belief of revitalizing China, who doesn't want to speak publicly.

It is the highest expectation of this era that the voice spreads all over the country. A little touch can make a woman pregnant.

Xiao Cheng didn't want Yang Rui and Wu Qian to have a good chat, so he hurriedly said, "Besides, what else does Peking University have?"

"The teacher is good, the campus is beautiful, Wu Qian..."

"What next?" Xiao Cheng interrupted Yang Rui again.

Yang Rui raised his eyebrows and said, "You won't be admitted to Peking University anyway, so what's the use of asking so many questions?"

"You, what are you talking about!" The glass heart of a sixteen-year-old boy shattered with a snap.

Yang Rui shook his head, ignored him, and turned to talk to Wu Qian.

Wu Qian lowered her head amusedly, then looked up after a while, and said, "What you said is too hurtful... Besides, although I can't get into Peking University, I also want to know some stories about Peking University."

Yang Rui chuckled: "It's not that he really wants to know, he's just wasting everyone's time."

Yang Rui has always been rude to things that waste time.

Xiao Cheng looked at them chatting and laughing, retreated to Lao Ba and Xiao Wu, and said: "Wait no more, you must beat him hard. Lao Ba, when you go up to chat with him in a while, stimulate him, he If you dare to say something inappropriate again, you will beat him, Xiao Wu, you and I will go up to help after the old eight makes a move, don't worry about anything, I will take care of things."

"Got it." Lao Ba rolled up his sleeves and nodded.

Xiao Wu also nodded.

Xiao Cheng followed behind with peace of mind.

A minute later, Xiao Wu suddenly covered his stomach and said, "No, I have to find a place to go to the toilet."

"Now? Wait a minute, you can pull him after the beating." When Xiao Cheng said this, he immediately thought it was a brilliant idea, laughed, and said, "That's good, we will beat him later and beg for mercy, let him Lie down, you pull his mouth."

Lao Ba was disgusted when he heard this: "It's too embarrassing, this is a big feud."

"Don't be afraid, my father's secretary of the municipal party committee, his father's secretary of the township party committee, he and I are the ones who made enemies. See if I don't kill him." At this point, Xiao Cheng already held his head high and walked out of the boss' style.

"I can't do it anymore." Xiao Wu covered his stomach, frowned, and said, "It must be that the restaurant just now was not clean. I'll beat them to death. Wait a minute, wait for me, I'll find a place to go, oops , is there any paper?"

Xiao Cheng watched helplessly as Xiao Wu bent over and rushed out to the side of the road where no one could be seen.

After bypassing two brick walls, Xiao Wu slowly straightened up.

He remembered Yang Rui's eyes and Yang Rui's words.

The phrase "Aren't you afraid of cracking down?" made Lao Ba feel bad, but it frightened Xiao Wu.

He just didn't show it.

Xiao Wu is a smart man, and has always regarded himself as a consultant. Why does the secretary of the municipal party committee have nothing to do with him, but the secretary of the township party committee is Yang Rui's father, who beat his son, can he calm down?

What he knew was that in Shanghai, the sons of old revolutionaries who were much older than the secretary of the municipal party committee were all shot.

In the past six months, old hooligans like Lao Ba have been paraded through the streets every now and then. Among the people they knew, there were some who ate peanuts.

The secretary of the municipal party committee may be able to keep his son, but Xiao Wu doesn't think he will.

At most, if you don’t eat peanuts, it’s hard to say that you’re going to jail.

For other people's affairs, put himself in prison, Xiao Wu would not do such a thing. He followed Xiao Cheng, originally because he couldn't hang out on the street, so he became a middle school student's follower.

If being a secondary school student's follower is more dangerous than hanging out on the street, it's better not to hang out.

After turning around in the messy yard, Xiao Wu left without any intention of turning back.

Xiao Cheng waited and waited, waited and waited, seeing that Yang Rui's back was gone, and Xiao Cheng hadn't come out yet, he couldn't help but said anxiously: "Don't wait for Xiao Wu, we two are enough, wait for Xiao Wu to come back, let's see what I do." Embarrass him."

"Okay." Lao Ba rolled his eyes and began to think.

Xiao Wu has always been the one who comes up with ideas, but now that Xiao Wu is gone, Lao Ba can't help but think about Yuanying who is not there.

"Oh... my stomach hurts too. It must be because the food in the restaurant is wrong." Lao Ba suddenly bent down and covered his stomach.

"What?"

"No, I have to find a latrine. Is there any paper left? Forget it, I'll grab some leaves. I can't wait any longer." Lao Ba didn't even bother to bend down, and went in a hurry.
