That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1028 Three for One, Enough

After Kimura Yazai left, Li Ye finally answered his own phone. It turned out to be Chu Yusheng, a junior from the Lone Army Literary Society.

Chu Yusheng was from the class of 1983. When Li Ye stopped managing the Lone Army Literary Society after his senior year, he recommended Chu Yusheng to take over, so the two had a good relationship and kept in touch after graduation.

Chu Yusheng smiled and asked as soon as he opened his mouth: "Brother, what are you doing?"

Li Ye smiled and said, "Hey, what can you do on a big holiday? Of course you're busy receiving gifts."

"Huh~"

Chu Yusheng uttered a sneer of contempt, and then said: "By the way, brother, do you still remember Qin Yongsheng and Yang Chen? They just came back from Lijiapo, and after they came back they couldn't contact you, so they went to the Lone Army Literature Society, and finally found me here."

Li Ye said in surprise: "Old Qin and the others are back? Really?"

Chu Yusheng smiled and said, "Really? And Qiao Dapeng, they came back together, and asked me to tell you that if you have time tonight, you must go to Lao Mo to get together."

Li Ye immediately said, "Then I must go and get together, right, Lao Mo?"

Chu Yusheng said, "Yes, yes, I'll go with you! I can interview them and try to write an article."

Li Ye readily agreed: "Okay, I'll pick you up after get off work."

"Okay, okay. I'll wait for you, brother."

After hanging up the phone, Li Ye felt relieved.

At the beginning, he went to Lijiaopo with Qin Yongsheng, Yang Chen and Qiao Dapeng to participate in the debate competition. The three of them stayed in Lijiaopo University to study, and only he returned to the mainland.

So many years have passed and the two sides have long lost contact. Li Ye thought that the other party was obsessed with the prosperity overseas and he would never see him again in this life, but he never thought that the other party would actually come back.

As for the personal relationship between Li Ye and the three of them, it has not reached the level of "inseparable friends", but they are willing to give up their overseas lives and return to their motherland. This intention is worthy of admiration, so Li Ye has to go.

[This land has never lacked young people with righteousness and passion. 】

After get off work, Li Ye drove straight to Sunshine Newspaper. Chu Yusheng was assigned to work at the newspaper after graduation and has been working there for more than a year.

Chu Yu was born a little early. When Li Ye arrived, he was already outside, snorting from the cold.

Li Ye took him into the car and said with a smile: "It's so cold, won't you wait for me inside for a while?"

Chu Yusheng said: "Hey, this is nothing. I just joined the company last year and followed my master on a business trip to Neimeng. I almost froze half of my ear off."

"."

Li Ye, with a smile on his face, was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Chu Yusheng's ear.

The ear was obviously frostbitten and seemed a little smaller than the other ear.

Li Ye knew that this was a case of frostbite and suppuration, and it would probably never recover to its original state.

But Chu Yusheng didn't care at all, and proudly moved closer to Li Ye to let him see more clearly, just like a returning soldier showing his medals.

"Rain."

"Hey, what's wrong, bro?"

“Work is work, but you still have to protect yourself.”

"Of course. I practice the boxing and kicking you taught me every day. I'm in great shape now."

Seeing Chu Yusheng's nonchalant look, Li Ye's smile turned sour.

Reporters these days are real men!

. . . . . . . . . .

When Li Ye and Chu Yusheng arrived at Lao Mo, there were already more than a dozen people at the scene, and Qin Yongsheng, Yang Chen and Qiao Dapeng were the absolute center of attention.
Everyone gathered around the three old guys, laughing and talking about the funny things that happened in school. The hearty laughter was endless.

However, after Li Ye arrived, Qin Yongsheng and others immediately came over and hugged him tightly, expressing their longing for him after not seeing him for many years.

Qin Yongsheng said: “Li Ye, I knew you would come. I just told Yang Chen that you, Li Ye, would never let us be short of one of the three. We are the Four Swordsmen.”

Li Ye smiled and said, "I've been short of three people for these years. Now I finally have a chance to get together. How can I not come?"

"One missing three? Hahahaha. It seems that you have also been suffering from lovesickness over the years."

Qiao Dapeng laughed loudly, and after chatting with Li Ye for a few words, he suddenly turned around and waved to a woman.

The woman walked over, glanced at Li Ye with a critical look, and forced a slight smile.

Qiao Dapeng smiled and introduced the two parties: "Come on, Li Ye, let me introduce you, this is my fiancée Lina. This is my good friend Li Ye. The four of us went to Lijiapo together."

"Lina?"

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, because this kind of name was not common in the mainland in the 1980s.

At that time, there was a movie called "Miss Anna", which sounded weird to me.

But Li Ye still bowed and said politely: "Hello, sister-in-law."

The other party also smiled and nodded at Li Ye, which was considered a greeting.

Li Ye didn't care and pulled Chu Yusheng over: "This is our junior Chu Yusheng, who is now working at Sunshine Daily. You can talk to him when you have time later."

"Okay, okay, we'll have a good chat."

Qin Yongsheng seemed to realize something and hurriedly pulled Li Ye inside: "Come on, come on! Everyone was just talking about you."

The dozen or so people at the scene were all from Peking University. Li Ye knew some of them, but not others.

Chu Yusheng knew even fewer of them, because most of them were from the class of 1979 or 1980, and most of them had graduated when Chu Yusheng entered the university in 1983. But most of them knew Li Ye, after all, Li Ye had been on TV, and the footage of those debates had been broadcast many times at Beijing University.

"Li Ye, why are you still the same as when you were in school? You haven't grown up at all!"

"Yeah, yeah! I'm starting to lose my hair, and look at this guy, he's still like a child."

"."

Facing the friendly teasing from everyone, Li Ye was somewhat surprised.

People nowadays like "maturity" and are not surprised by his appearance without looking his age. It's not like decades later when everyone likes ageless guys or immortal male gods.

This resulted in Li Ye being treated as a "younger brother" by everyone, and everyone spoke to him with the attitude of an older brother treating a younger kid.

Li Ye couldn't stand it anymore, so he smiled and said, "When I was a child, I met an old immortal. He gave me an elixir. After I took it, I didn't look my age. In fact, I am already 88 years old this year. Logically, you should all call me grandpa."

"."

Everyone was stunned, then burst into laughter.

"Look, look, novel writers never suffer any loss. We just called him a kid and he took advantage of us."

"You are wrong. Those who write novels are all big liars. They always claim that seniors teach skills and pass on skills to them, and that they have gained a century of skills. I have been working for a few years, but I have been tormented by those old-timers."

"Hahahaha~"

Everyone laughed and began to lament the differences between entering society and being in school, and they all missed that precious time of their lives.

At this moment, every embarrassing moment you made can become a beautiful memory.

However, after everyone took their seats, the nostalgia for the past became much less frequent, and everyone began to ask each other about their work and started the serious business of "network building".

"Li Ye, what job are you doing now?"

"I'm at the car factory in Haidian, everything is fine"

"Not bad, not bad. The automotive industry has great prospects. Let's exchange phone numbers and keep in touch."

"Give me a call too. When our company purchases cars, I will have to trouble you, little brother."

There were no mobile phones back then, so people exchanged contact information using a small notebook, and they would use a pen to quickly write down each other's work unit and phone number.

But when exchanging with Qiao Dapeng and Qin Yongsheng, both of them took out a stack of business cards and distributed them to everyone one by one.

Li Ye smiled and said, "Yeah, Lao Qin and Lao Qiao, you are quite fashionable! Business cards, business cards, are just a lie."

Li Ye fell silent before he finished his sentence.

Because the workplace listed on Qiao Dapeng's business card is Lighthouse Wells Investment Company, and Qin Yongsheng is Lijiaopo Fuhua Group.

When Li Ye heard Chu Yusheng say that Qin Yongsheng and his team had returned today, he presumed that they had returned to follow the country's assignment.

But when I saw Lina just now, I felt that I might have been thinking wrong, and now it seems to be true.

Li Ye suddenly remembered that when he was preparing for the debate competition at Peking University, Lijiapo University gave three places for studying abroad, one of which was originally reserved for Li Ye.
But Li Ye gave up, and Guan Tingzhong said that he would "definitely return to serve the motherland after completing his studies", while Qin Yongsheng and others said that "everything will be arranged by the school."

In the end, Guan Tingzhong, who swore that he would return after completing his studies, was eliminated, and instead, substitute player Qiao Dapeng became the starting debater.

But now it seems that the school’s judgment at that time was wrong.

"What's wrong, Li Ye?"

"Oh, it's okay."

Li Ye reacted, and said to Yang Chen with a smile: "Old Yang, where is your business card?"

Yang Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "I was assigned to the Beijing Steel Plant. Why would I need a business card?"

"."

Li Ye was stunned for a second, then smiled brightly.

Three went out and one came back, so it was enough.

"The Beijing Steel Plant is great! One of my classmates went to the Beijing Steel Plant. I'll organize a party for everyone to get to know each other someday. Give me your phone number!"

"Oh oh oh, okay okay"

Li Ye's sudden enthusiasm made Yang Chen a little overwhelmed, because after he came back recently, many people said he was a big fool.

Li Ye's enthusiasm made him feel both moved and sad.

"Come on, come on, we are all reunited today after a long absence, I will raise a glass first."

"One cup is not enough, at least three cups, I'll drink it first"

"Done."

Some people noticed that Yang Chen was acting strange, and took the initiative to toast him, starting to liven up the atmosphere.

Nowadays, there is no tradition of "collective punishment for drinking". Everyone feels impolite if they don't drink, so after a short while, the group of people get a little drunk.

At this time, Qiao Dapeng suddenly said to Li Ye: "Li Ye, I have to toast you. In fact, we are very grateful to you over the years."

"Thank me? Thank me for what?"
