That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1103 How to keep a low profile?
It’s very hot in Beijing in July.

The buses in Beijing were very crowded in July.

It's very hot and crowded, I can't even describe how it feels. Close your eyes and feel the contact with other passengers. Quietly savor life. This will allow you to experience more insights into life and inspire you to be more motivated to strive.

For example, when will I have my own private car?

For example, when will I have my own private car and a private driver?
Li Ye has a private car and, if he wants, a private driver.

But he still squeezed onto the old bus in Beijing on this hot summer day.

Today is the day to go to D School to study. Although Li Zhongfa and Wen Leyu asked Li Ye to relax and not to regard D School as a serious, rigid and dogmatic place, Li Ye still restrained his edge a little and did not drive his Santana to school.

Although Li Ye's money was clean and he had a clear conscience about buying the car, in a place where fairness is most important, if he behaved too differently, he would easily attract unnecessary trouble.

So Li Ye set out half an hour early, hoping to take advantage of the brief cool moment in the early morning to catch the bus. However, after getting on the bus, he realized how difficult it is to go from luxury to frugality.

"Tall passenger, please turn your body sideways and stop taking up so much space. Passengers at the next stop will not be able to get on. Yes, I'm talking about you."

Li Ye didn't know how many times the conductor had instructed him to adjust his posture. Because there were so many people on the train, he subconsciously took a "defensive stance" just like he did when he was squeezed into the subway in his previous life, in order to occupy as much standing space as possible.

But this kind of behavior made him an oddball on the bus. At first, the female conductor gave him instructions in a friendly manner because of his handsome appearance. But after a few times, she got annoyed. Just because you are handsome, you can't bully others!
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!"

Li Ye apologized quickly, then turned around, allowing his front and back to be in close contact with the people in front and behind him. With the body temperature of 37 or 38 degrees Celsius against his body, the warmth from the masses and comrades made him feel so warm in his heart!

"Little brother, you have just been assigned to work in the capital, right?"

A middle-aged man next to him was very outgoing. Seeing Li Ye's embarrassed expression, he started talking to him with a smile.

Li Ye smiled and asked, "Brother, how did you know?"

The other party said proudly, "Hey, I can see that you rarely take the bus in this capital, but the way you dress, your figure and temperament don't seem like those vagrants who don't have a proper job, so 99% of the time you are a student who has just been assigned to the capital, am I right?"

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, then raised his head slightly, looking over the head of this outgoing old man and looking at the guys in the back half of the car.

They wore bell-bottom pants, a big side-parted hair, carried a big guitar, and wore a denim vest even in the hottest weather. At first glance, they were artistic youths from the 1980s with personality. It would be a bit too much to say that they were blind migrants.

Li Ye actually saw it just now. These guys got on the car with this old man. When they got on the car, they almost pushed the old man out, so there was a little friction and the old man was pushed by others.

The other side had more people, so no fight broke out. But this guy might have thought about it and felt aggrieved, so he wanted to get back at them with words.

Li Ye saw that those young artists had unfriendly looks and were about to squeeze over here, so he smiled and tried to smooth things over.

"Brother, you can't say that. You can't judge a person by his appearance. Many people come to the city to work and make a living. They earn their living with their own hands. They can't be considered blind migrants."

But the elder brother didn't appreciate it at all, and his voice was raised eight degrees: "What do you mean by earning a living with your own hands? You don't know those people, who curse the streets with their hoarse voices all day long.
After scolding him, he said that it was the art of the new era, and that his flowery words harmed those young and ignorant girls, which was against the will of heaven and earth. Why haven’t they arrested the blind migrants in recent years? "

"."

Li Ye smacked his lips, not knowing how to refute, because some rock singers do have a unique outlook on life, which is really hard for ordinary people to accept.

Seeing that Li Ye had stopped talking, the old man thought that Li Ye agreed with his point of view, so he became more and more excited, talking fluently and spitting everywhere, using all kinds of critical words in a unique way, which made everyone around him very satisfied.

But those young men in waistcoats were not happy about it. They squeezed over and glared at the old man.

"What do you mean? Do you want a beating?"

"I deserve a beating. Come on, let's get off the bus at the next stop and practice. Don't hurt anyone by mistake in the car. Whoever is a coward is a grandson."

"."

Li Ye was wondering why this old man was so stupid.

[Is he a martial artist? ]

In such a crowded carriage, it is really impossible to fight four hands with two fists. Even if he got off the train to practice, Li Ye felt that his physique and aura did not seem like those of a fighting master, and there was a high probability that he would not be able to withstand the fists and kicks of these young men.

But within half a minute, Li Ye was extremely impressed by this old man.

Because the next stop was the gate of a factory, and it was working hours, many workers were coming in to work.

The old man got out of the car cursing, which immediately attracted the attention of the workers on site.

"Master Sun, what's wrong with you?"

"The vagrants behind me didn't follow the rules. They almost pushed me off the bus when I got on. I said a few words and they wanted to fight with me."

"."

The young men in denim vests got off the car angrily, but at this moment they suddenly understood something.

The workers were very united when they were "facing the outside world". The elder brother just shouted and the surrounding workers immediately gathered around him. "Run~"

Several young men in waistcoats started to run, but workers were rushing to work from both sides of the road, blocking their escape route. The young men in waistcoats had no time to run.

The passengers in the car burst into laughter.

"Well! I was wondering why that guy was so arrogant. Turns out he's at the doorstep!"

"Well, those young men are going to suffer a little, but it's just a matter of a few big potstickers. The workers are not hooligans, they are organized and disciplined. After a few hits, someone will stop the fight and they won't kill them."

"Alas, young people nowadays, if they don't find a job to earn more years of service while they are still young, and just tinker with useless things all day, how will they make a living when they get older?"

"."

Li Ye felt quite emotional.

Listening to the discussions of everyone in the car, it is obvious that they have a very high opinion of the group of "working brothers", and their social status is much higher than that of these "artists".

But who would have thought that decades later, those who play art have become much more "high-end" than those who play with hammers. Let alone those who can play the piano and Latin, even old ladies who can dance square dance can receive big gold bracelets. The most glorious slogan of the working people seems to have been forgotten by the whole society.

"We have arrived at the First Ministry of Machine Building's D School. Where are you going to D School? Hurry and get to the door! Don't get stuck when you reach your stop."

The conductor started shouting at Li Ye again.

"Oh, thank you! If you hadn't reminded me, I would have missed my stop."

Li Ye smiled, and while squeezing towards the door, he thanked the ticket seller.

Li Ye noticed that the conductor on the bus had a bad temper. He rarely announced the stops along the way, and the few times he did, they were for outsiders or passengers who were not familiar with the stops.

You can say that her work attitude is not good, but her professional ability is fine. She not only remembers some special passengers, but also takes care of the passengers' needs. Li Ye thinks this is good.

Unlike some customer service or counter staff decades later, whose attitudes are extremely nice, but after arguing with them for a long time, you get nothing but anger.

After getting off the car, Li Ye took a deep breath and finally got rid of the stuffiness in his chest and lungs.

Li Ye took out the handkerchief that his young wife had stuffed into his hand, wiped the sweat off his face, and then took his ID to report in.

After checking in, I followed the instructions to go to the classroom and could hear the hustle and bustle from a distance.

The training classes that Li Ye attended were all for corporate cadres under the First Ministry of Machine Building. They probably had many common acquaintances or common topics.

Li Ye entered the classroom, and before he could see if there was anyone he knew, he heard someone calling his name.

"Li Ye, are you Li Ye?"

Li Ye looked up and saw someone standing up in the front row of the classroom. He was looking at him happily with a smile on his face, as if he had met an old friend in a foreign land.

But Li Ye was a little embarrassed because he didn't recognize who the other person was for a moment.

The other party obviously realized something and said cheerfully: "Haha, I'm Zhao Chu from the class of 1980. When I was in Peking University, I often followed Li Huaisheng to your literature club to play."

Li Ye immediately thought of a thin guy who liked to wear army green jackets. He seemed to be in the same class as Li Huaisheng. At that time, the Lone Army Literary Society would cook some eight-treasure porridge for everyone as a midnight snack, and he often went to drink it.

It took Li Ye a long time to match the thin man with a long face with the fat man with a round face in front of him.

Li Ye smiled and said: "Your quality of life must have been good in the past two years. Your face has become rounder."

"Hahahaha~"

Zhao Chu laughed loudly, and then said, "That's right! In the past few years, when I met my former classmates, many people couldn't recognize me. I gained 50 kilograms, but you haven't changed much! You are still that handsome boy."

"What handsome young man? According to our country's standard for the classification of young and middle-aged people, I will soon be a middle-aged person."

Li Ye responded to Zhao Chu with a faint smile, not being too distant, nor showing the closeness and enthusiasm of an "old classmate".

Because he couldn't be sure what Zhao Chu felt towards him.

It's not decades later, when everyone likes "eternal age" and "frozen age". A group of cadres come here for further study, ready to take on more important tasks and shoulder more important responsibilities, but you say I am a "young man". Are you complimenting me? Or what do you mean?
However, Zhao Chu was unaware of this and continued to introduce him to the people around him: "You don't know, right? This little brother of mine was a famous figure in school, a man of both literary and martial arts.
Learning literature, you can write novels to earn foreign exchange, practicing martial arts, bravely fighting ten people alone and getting commended,

There is a set of armor weighing dozens of kilograms in the Lone Army Literature Club of our school, which is the same kind of armor in the movie "Hometown Lone Army". After he puts it on, he can wield a two-three meter long spear with great vigor.

"And if you look closely at Li Ye, does he look familiar? Hey, he's been on TV before. At the first International College Debate, our Beijing University team won the championship, and he was on the show.

And do you remember the first advertisement of Fenghua Clothing? The man in the suit was also him. It was because he later focused on his studies that he would have been as famous as a movie star."

Li Ye didn't know what to say.

Before he came, his family had repeatedly asked him to keep a low profile, but after Zhao Chu's shouting, how could he keep a low profile?
