Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 1182 I have never seen such an arrogant person

Ever since the notice issued by Li Jiankun was published in the newspaper, the atmosphere in the Li residence in Niangniangmiao Hutong has become complicated and even weird.

Mrs. Yuying no longer goes out for a walk. She stays at home all day, packing her luggage leisurely. Her youngest son has agreed to live in the port city for a while, but she doesn't urge him when to go. The child is busy. He just came back from the Soviet Union and still has no time to rest. Others say that her youngest son is so comfortable with so much money, but she only feels distressed. Her youngest son can only stay at home for a few days and eat few meals throughout the year. The son of Chen Dasao in the alley is working in the coal mine and is not as busy as her.

The illiterate Yuying knew nothing about it, and Li Yunshang, who was in confinement after giving birth, was also kept in the dark.

Whenever Chuncao went out to buy groceries, people she knew in the alley would always stop her and ask her, "Your brother wants to challenge someone to a fight. Is he sure he can win?"

At first Chuncao was full of confidence, saying that my little brother was the most capable person in the world, and he could beat the opponent to a pulp in minutes. The girl couldn't even read a few words. Then she asked who her little brother was going to challenge. People said it would probably be everyone in the city who had a bad relationship with him. Ordinary people probably wouldn't have the courage to do so. Those who could challenge him must have some background, such as those famous intellectuals or powerful officials. Chuncao was terrified. The girl knew that two fists could not beat four hands. After that, she was worried and kept praying to the Buddha in her heart.

Most people are as worried as Chuncao.

Li Xiaomei, Fugui, He Dongzhu, and of course the first one to be affected is Shen Hongyi.

The frustrating thing is that I can't persuade my husband to give up now. What's the point of putting an ad in the newspaper and declaring war openly, and then backing down at the last minute?

Shen Hongyi only hated herself for not keeping an eye on her husband, allowing him to get so stubborn and act impulsively.

The girl analyzed it over and over again and thought that this was really a bad idea. How could it be a dispute over principles? It was no exaggeration to say that this was a dispute over social forms, a huge matter! Given that we have a history of decades of comprehensive opposition to capital, the possibility of winning is not great. Now she can only use her not-too-stupid brain at high speed to help her husband come up with strategies and try her best to get an outcome where she does not lose. Otherwise...

The consequences may be disastrous.

The most excited one was Guifei the lazy guy.

In his words, the brat finally did something to make him feel better. He should have stood up and confronted those people a long time ago. Why can he only be a coward and be scolded by others? It makes him feel uncomfortable when he goes out. Of course, he never tolerates anyone. If anyone dares to point fingers at him or say something unpleasant, he will not argue with those big principles. He only knows a simple principle: Did I provoke you? I will spray you in the face! What's the matter? You still want to fight? Where are the people from Shanhe? Come out and do it!

I got into a few fights and was even in the police station.

Every time Guifei Lazy Man returns triumphantly.

Because he was good at reasoning. Even though he was Li Jiankun's father, he didn't provoke anyone. Others provoked him first, and he still stood there to reason after being beaten.

He would have a few drinks every night these few days, and whenever he was happy, when his wife was not around, he would glance at other worried people, pat his youngest son on the shoulder, and give him some belated life lessons.

For example, Li Jiankun, if you come back with your tail between your legs like a local dog, don’t say that you are a child of the Li family!

For example, do it, roll up your sleeves and do it, do it to death or to maim!

For example, what is there to be afraid of? The worst thing is that I can't stay in this country. Are the steaks abroad not delicious? Is the manor in Taipingshan not spacious enough? Is the society where the rich are the masters not the most suitable for our family?

Li Jiankun said, ah...you are right.

Miss Shen's brains and upbringing did not allow her to show a bad face to her father-in-law. She only dared to ask helplessly at night when the couple were lying in bed, "Is he really your biological father?"

Sunday.

Lying on the bed with eyes open and staring at the ceiling, Li Jiankun quietly waited until dawn, then he lifted the quilt lightly, and when he got out of bed, he gently kissed Miss Shen on the forehead. When he got dressed and left the room, the sleeping beauty on the bed opened her big eyes without any sleepiness, and the worry in her eyes became even stronger.

However, she had said everything she needed to say, and told her husband all the ideas she could think of.

She really wanted to face it with her husband and mentioned it tactfully, but her husband flatly refused.

At this point, it seemed that all she could do was say "come on" to her husband, but she could imagine that even when she said these two words, it would be difficult for her to show a bright smile and give him any confidence encouragement, so it was better not to disturb him and let him focus on the next thing.

I don’t hope for a clear sky today, but at least there won’t be dark clouds, the girl prayed in her heart.

Fugui and He Dongzhu both got up very early. One of them was practicing a slow style of boxing in the courtyard, as if he wouldn't even kill a fly, while the other one was squatting under the eaves watching the boxing.

Seeing that Li Jiankun was about to finish washing up, He Dongzhu took out the car keys and said to go out and start the car first. Li Jiankun waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to follow him, it was only a few steps away, he went out to have breakfast, and walked all the way there in just the right time, and joked that he was worried that the car would be smashed.

He Dongzhu couldn't understand how he could still laugh.

"You don't have to follow me." Li Jiankun looked at Fugui who was standing behind him.

Fugui said in a muffled voice: "I'm afraid you'll be beaten."

"You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. Get out!" Li Jiankun glanced at him unhappily, then walked out with a swagger.

Wealth still follows.

Unconsciously, Fugui's attitude towards him had obviously changed. In the past, Fugui would not bother to follow him to the best place in Beijing. In this cold weather, wouldn't it be comfortable for a cat to stay at home and watch Black Cat Sheriff? He didn't follow Li Jiankun when he went to Yanyuan a few days ago.

But today is different.

Fugui didn't understand the question of whether it was capitalism or socialism, and he was too lazy to think about it. He had been with Li Jiankun for the past two years and had seen many things clearly, for example, this man had never done anything to let down the country. He remembered one time in the Hong Kong city of Kowloon, he saw a small red flag thrown on the ground on the road. He had just got out of a golden Rolls-Royce, so he squatted on the ground, picked it up, wiped the stains off it, folded it and put it in his pocket.

So if someone wanted to beat him, a "capitalist", in the name of patriotism, Fugui would not agree.

The two of them walked one in front and one behind on the slightly damp frozen soil road in the alley, making a creaking sound, and headed in the opposite direction of Yanyuan, all the way to the Tiger Cave.

This is the largest market nearby, one to the east and one to the south of Wudaokou Commercial Street. Relatively speaking, Laohudong is closer to home, so Chuncao and her old mother often come here for a walk and to buy groceries.

A hint of red had just appeared in the eastern sky, but it was not particularly early in the winter, and the Laohudong area was very lively. All the shops had already opened, especially the few breakfast shops. The steam coming out of the big pots or steamers at the door was the best way to attract business.

Merchants here didn't have much chance to do business with Li Jiankun. Even when he was in Beijing, since his father-in-law lived in Wudaokou, he went to Wudaokou Commercial Street more often. Based on his liking, Li Jiankun chose a shop called "Cotton Mill No. 2 Breakfast Shop", which was obviously a tertiary industry shop.

As we walked along, we saw many street stalls on both sides of the road, most of which sold fruits and vegetables grown by farmers in Haidian. They might not be fresh and juicy, but they were definitely not soaked in preservatives.

Li Jiankun ordered two fresh meat buns and saw a mirror-smooth tofu pudding in an aluminum pot. He asked the elder sister, who was wearing a snow-white apron and looked neat and tidy, to scoop him a bowl. Looking at the elder sister's movements, Li Jiankun hesitated and asked, "Can you omit the marinade and sugar?"

The eldest sister looked at him twice as if she was looking at a heretic.

Li Jiankun touched the tip of his nose and said, "I'm from the south."

"Add it yourself!"

The eldest sister put the white porcelain bowl in his hand, muttering that it was not even dawn yet, why was he wearing frog-eye glasses.

Fugui then walked into the store and said to the elder sister with a silly smile, "Ten big meat buns, two bowls of tofu pudding, and sugar."

The eldest sister looked up and said in amazement: "Oh..."

There were several tables of diners in the shop, and their eyes were raised to the same level as the eldest sister's, marveling at her.

The two of them found a random dining table and sat opposite each other. Looking at the sweet tofu pudding that the eldest sister personally brought to them, Li Jiankun sighed faintly and smiled innocently, "Envy, jealousy, even though they all call me a big fool in the village, but since I was a child, because of this body, I have never suffered any loss when I didn't want to. For example, when I go to the town to buy wine and salt, even if I buy at a street stall, who dares to shortchange me? The scale only dares to tilt higher. To put it bluntly, it's the truth that people are easily bullied."

Li Jiankun exclaimed, "How dare you, a big fool, try to reason with me?"

In fact, Fugui's brain is proportional to his body. Li Jiankun understood what he meant. Since he had done it, he had to be more assertive. However, his logic was different from Li Guifei's. He had to be assertive with reasons.

He believed that Li Jiankun must have his reasons for doing so.

While eating breakfast, Li Jiankun noticed that there was a large banner hanging between two birch trees on the opposite side of the curb, which read: I wish the Asian Games a complete success!

Such slogans can now be seen everywhere in the capital.

The people of the entire capital took action, wanting to contribute to the Asian Games and looking forward to the holding of the Asian Games. Their enthusiasm was even greater than that of the 2008 Olympic Games. That year, Li Jiankun was already at the age of knowing the destiny, had enough money and time, and also came to the capital.

Even in this Asian Games, people across the country actively participated in it.

It is not easy to organize such an international sporting event. After the decision was made in 1984, the relevant departments calculated that various construction projects, including urban beautification, would cost more than 2 billion yuan.

The government tightened its belt and squeezed 800 million yuan from other places.

The gap is huge.

We can only raise funds and try every possible way.

After this Asian Games, the most proud thing is not that we ranked first in the number of gold medals, but that tens of millions of people across the country participated in the donation. In this era and country where the average salary per capita is only a few hundred yuan, they donated 2.7 million yuan.

He also donated last year in the name of Hong Kong Chinese Electronics Group. The political situation was already somewhat bad at the time, and he did not want to be further pushed to the forefront.

After finishing breakfast, Li Jiankun turned back from the sidewalk and stopped when he passed a green newsstand.

There was an old man in the newsstand. Even through his sunglasses he seemed to notice his gaze. He picked up a stack of lottery tickets and said with a smile, "Support the Asian Games and win a prize. It's a win-win situation. How many do you want?"

The lottery ticket in the old man's hand is called the "11th Asian Games Fund Lottery Ticket", which is truly the first sports charity lottery issued in my country.

The ticket has the Asian Games emblem and the image of the mascot panda Panpan on it. A lot of effort has been put into its design and production, and it is exquisite. The words "Support the Asian Games, Revitalize China" are printed at the top of the ticket.

However, this thing will trigger a bad trend later.

I believe that people who have lived through the 1990s will have some memories of scratch-off tickets. Li Jiankun still remembers that in his previous life, as long as they heard that there was a scratch-off lottery event in the county, the people of Qingxi Dian would always rush to the city in groups. As a result, they would always bring back a bunch of towels, toothbrushes and soaps, and they still had the fantasy of getting rich overnight and never got tired of it.

I’ve heard of and seen people who actually won the jackpot, but I’ve never seen anyone around me.

I remember a lucky person who got a kick was carried on a tractor, covered with a big red flower, and paraded through towns and villages to promote the idea. The rural people at that time were so naive that they really believed it.

"Take a picture." said Li Jiankun.

"One? I can tell you're a respectable person, why don't you support me with a few more?" The old man was not very happy.

Li Jiankun smiled and said, "Shouldn't your support for this matter depend on my wishes?"

The old man was speechless and sold a lottery ticket gloomily, muttering to himself that the richer you are, the more stingy you become.

Li Jiankun had already walked away with the lottery ticket. Unlike other people who bought lottery tickets and couldn't wait to scratch them on the spot, Fugui was behind him, leaning over to the newsstand and said, "You know shit!"

"Hey, young man, why are you still swearing?"

Fugui smiled and asked, "What else do you want?"

The old man swallowed and dared not say another word.

On the way back, Li Jiankun took off his sunglasses, which attracted some inquiring eyes, but those people seemed unsure. When he was about to reach the south gate of Yanyuan, he was finally recognized.

It just so happened that this group of people who were waiting at the south gate of Yanyuan for the main force were the ones who came to fight.

In an instant, it was like meeting an enemy, and they were extremely jealous of each other.

"Look, he's showing off with his bodyguards."

"His clothes must be worth thousands of dollars, right?"

"Thousands of dollars? You look down on him too much. The watch on his hand is worth at least tens of thousands!"

...

Li Jiankun raised his hand, rolled up his sleeves, shook them, and smiled, "You're talking about this, Patek Philippe limited edition, the issue price is 260,000 US dollars, now it should be more than 300,000."

What the hell!

If Fugui hadn't been staring at that group of people with a silly smile, and seeing their beards blowing and eyes glaring, he would have had to fight.

I have never seen such an arrogant person!

Li Jiankun raised his hand and said in greeting: "I didn't spend any money. A woman gave it to me. Oh, by the way, it's not my wife. She has never spent so much money in her life. See you later."

Can't stand it!

"You are a big capitalist, what are you bragging about?"

"The world is going downhill. This person is simply shameless!"

"Don't leave!"

...

Li Jiankun left in a swagger. Fugui stopped several young men who rushed over and said with a silly smile: "I testify that what he said is true. I'm just wondering, why are you so angry?"

In the end, the few people did not dare to confront him head-on. They felt that this big fool could knock them down with one punch, and their small arms and legs would not be hurt much if they were hit by him.

Yanyuan soon became noisy.

The students were like little bees leaving a hive, swarming from all directions towards the road where Li Jiankun was standing, gathering on both sides of the road, stretching endlessly.

What made Li Jiankun very happy was that there were many younger schoolmates who waved their fists and supported him.

When he arrived at the auditorium, the announcement time had not yet arrived. He entered through the side door and saw the porter with a cane in a room behind the main hall of the auditorium.

Chen Daisun smiled bitterly and said, "I know I can't persuade you. How can this be called reasoning? This is called a crusade! I will not attend."

One third of the seats in the auditorium were already filled. Many people were carrying homemade placards with different inscriptions but similar content. The most representative one was a sign held up by five people that read: Down with the biggest capitalist!

Li Jiankun nodded. Even if the leader wanted to attend, he would not let him go.

Chen Daisun said worriedly, "I have noticed two people at the moment. You should pay special attention to them. Although they both have bad intentions, their influence can offset the influence of all the others."

"Oh?" Li Jiankun asked curiously, "Who is it?"

Chen Daisun mentioned two names.

One is a person in the economic circle, of the same generation as Chen Daisun. He was also a professor in the past. After retirement, he did not stay on campus to do research. Instead, he often visited the media and expressed his insights and opinions in various newspapers and magazines.

One is the most popular poet at the moment, people like Shu Ting, Gu Cheng, and Bei Dao are far inferior to him.
