Yang Rui and Jing Yulan ride a bicycle on their way to work. The afternoon sun shines on them, and the breeze caresses the devil's feathers.

Around them, there are workers, students and civil servants. There are bold or soft chats, which have both the atmosphere of life and romance.

During this period of time, no car should step on the accelerator in vain. Whether it's the bicycle lane or the driveway, it's full of bicycles. A six lane road is lined with dozens of bicycles, one by one, moving forward at almost the same speed. Sometimes, two cars get close, almost touching each other, Other people have to use a nudge to avoid traffic accidents.

Most cyclists have good skills. People with or without handlebars can be seen everywhere. It's not uncommon for a bicycle to take one or two people.

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

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

Yang Rui and Jing Yulan speak in a low voice, and sometimes use their strong arms to block the approaching bicycles to gain more space.

He is tall and has a long arm. He has more than a year's recumbent exercise. The muscles on his arm are as hard as stones. Even if he works hard through his coat, he can see the obvious difference. Even if he is a manual worker all the year round, he will not be stronger than him because of his talent. Once he comes and goes, the space around Yang Rui is more spacious than others.

After Jing Yulan noticed it, he said: "overbearing."

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

Jing Yulan looks at him blankly, and obviously does not find the laughing point.

The Jing family moved to the family home of China silk company.

As a foreign exchange earning enterprise, the treatment of China National Silk Corporation was the best in the 1980s. Although the Bank of China has to collect all the foreign exchange it earns as usual, it has to be more generous in terms of RMB income, and the government gives more subsidies and preferential policies every year.

In terms of employee welfare, both the geographical location and the housing area of China Silk family home have exceeded the average level.

As the deputy general manager, Jing Cuncheng's treatment is better. His family has an area of more than 300 square meters, which is a large five room and two living rooms. There is also a nanny room. The small garden in front of the building and the sundry room in the back of the building are also very large, which also has a scale of two or three hundred square meters. However, unlike commercial buildings, such cadre buildings are not only not calculated according to the building area, but also tend to shrink in the real estate. For example, the garden in front of the building and the utility room behind the building will not be included in the area. The corridors and stairs in the building will also be removed from the residential area. What's more, the nanny room and the toilet can be removed from the real estate area.

The decoration of the room is also according to the level. Although the decoration style is imitated by several large foreign-related hotels, it is a bit uncoordinated, but in terms of decoration and luxury, it is the best residence Yang Rui saw in the 1980s.

A 30-year-old nanny opened the door and put her shoes on the porch of the door. She said with a smile, "aunt Xu is in the kitchen. She wants to cook by herself. She won't let me touch her hands. You sit first and I'll tell you."

"This house is really nice," Yang Rui said as he changed his shoes

"The rent of 8 yuan a month is enough for half a month's food." Jing Yulan bends down and helps Yang Rui put his shoes in place. Then he takes off his coat from the back and hangs it on the hanger.

Yang Rui's eyes turned to listen. He is located in the second ring road of Beijing, with a construction area of 800 square meters and a use area of 300 or 400 square meters. The monthly rent is only half a month's meal money for ordinary workers.

Yang Rui greedy way: "I want to rent, no one rent to me."

"What's the rent? It's so expensive. It's only when my father has housing subsidies that we rent it. It costs only three yuan a month for the tube building next to it. " Jing Yulan thought of the family living in Pingjiang hotel. She chuckled and said, "you're not afraid of wasting money. You can rent it. All the money is spent. Please borrow it from me."

"How many yuan can you save with your salary?" Yang Rui thinks about the housing subsidy, sighs leisurely.

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

"The dormitory is much better than Xibao middle school. It's also a building, but it's not necessarily more convenient than middle school." Yang Rui then pressed the sofa and said with a smile, "I haven't sat on the sofa for a long time."

"It's also rented. The furniture here is two and a half yuan a month. I can't afford to buy it myself."

Yang Rui was speechless again and said, "you've broken the sofa, and the rent is not enough to pay for it."Jing Yulan didn't know why, so he said, "we just moved here. We have no furniture. Of course we have to rent it."

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

In a moment, Jing's mother came out of the kitchen and said hello to Yang Rui with a smile. What's more, she took out the events in Hedong one by one, and mixed with all kinds of thanks.

After that, Jing's mother asked about Yang Rui's school. She didn't go back to the kitchen until the nanny came and said, "the fish is ready.".

Yang Rui felt his forehead and said with a look of shame, "I'm so nervous."

Jing Yulan covered her mouth and laughed twice.

A few minutes later, Jing's mother began to serve cold dishes, and said, "Yang Rui, you can't go ahead of time. Just after the meeting, it's on the way, and it's coming soon. You sit and talk. By the way, Yang Rui drinks? Take a bottle of wine out of the cupboard... "

Jing language LAN Yiyan to get, Yang Rui quickly waved his hand and said: "I don't drink, drink head faint, can't do anything."

"Then drink beer. Beer is low in strength." Mother Jing is very polite.

Ding Dong!

As he spoke, the doorbell rang.

Nanny went to open the door, and Jing's mother said with a smile, "it's estimated that your uncle Jing has come back."

The door opened, but strange laughter came: "sister Xu, I came to see you."

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

"This is my son Li Xin, a graduate student of East China Textile Institute. He just came back a few days ago and was assigned to our China silk General Factory. I'm not here to visit you." The middle-aged woman introduced her son, looked at the room, and said with a smile: "every time I come to your house, I feel that you are well decorated. Unfortunately, our family is not very successful. The director of the bureau is a small one, and we can't get a big house. Ouch, you have guests in your house. Look at me, it's a strange coincidence."

Unfortunately, she didn't mean to leave. She changed her slippers and pulled her son into the door.

"Hello, aunt Xu." Li Xin said hello, neither warm nor cold. His eyes swept past Jing Yulan and his head dropped.

"Hello, Xiao Li." Jing's mother was a little uncomfortable and said, "I'm cooking. This, Xiaolan, please call your Aunt Liu. Have you seen her?"

"Yes, I saw you when you came. Xiao Lan is really handsome. I heard that he works in Beijing Normal University and becomes a teacher?" Aunt Liu broke in with a smile on her face.

Jing Yulan had no choice but to smile at Yang Rui, turned around and said, "I just went to Beijing Normal University, and I'm in the English department."

"Xiaolan is also a college student?"

"Yes."

"That's good. I've been a graduate student of Xiaoxin examination for three years. You two should have a topic to talk about."

When Yang Rui heard the word "Xiaoxin", he couldn't help laughing.

The opposite Aunt Liu saw it, a little unhappy, and said, "I haven't asked. Is this your relative?"

"I'm a fellow townsman. I'm studying in Beijing." Yang Rui answered on his behalf.

"From Hedong province? It's good to be able to find fellow villagers. Lao Xu's family is just like this. They have a good personality and a good heart. They are willing to help. " Not salty said a, Aunt Liu turned to Jingyu orchid: "Xiaolan to the capital, not used to? Have you gone all over the street? My family Xiaoxin grew up in Beijing. When you get off work, you call him to accompany you. He knows what's there, eh

When she snorted, her son quickly said, "before I went to college, I ran on the street every day. I know what you want to buy and eat

"Thank you." Jing Yulan takes a small look at Yang Rui. At this point in the conversation, everyone knows that it's a blind date step, and it's a surprise form of blind date.

Of course, in the 1980s, we didn't even talk about blind date, or even the introduction of the object. Everything was silent.

Jing's mother is also hard to catch up with others. Aunt Liu is her colleague, while her husband is the director of the central ministries and commissions.

Not long after that, Jing Cuncheng and his elder brother Xu Wu came in one after another. Aunt Liu and Li Xin were also arranged to be on the table.

The only surprise to them is that Yang Rui sits on the table under the arrangement of Jing's father and Jing's mother.

Aunt Liu coughed heavily.
