That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 814 Xiaoyu is the only one in my life

The days with his mother at home are happy. When Li Ye got up as usual the next day, he found that his mother had almost finished making breakfast.

Fu Guiru served Li Ye breakfast and asked quietly, "Is Xiaoyu still asleep?"

Li Ye nodded and said while drinking porridge: "She has gained weight in the past two months. She always has trouble sleeping at night and can't get up in the morning. She used to get up to cook for me."

Fu Guiru nodded and smiled with satisfaction: "Xiaoyu is a good child. You have good taste."

"Of course," Li Ye said proudly, "When she transferred to our class, we fell in love with each other instantly. She chose me as her deskmate, and I chose her as my wife."

Fu Guiru looked at Li Ye with interest, and then asked, "But I heard that you were infatuated with a girl named Lu back then?"

"Cough, cough, gulp!"

Li Ye forced himself to swallow the porridge in his mouth. It was because his muscle control was very strong, otherwise he would have spat it out.

"Mom, who are you listening to?"

"Listen to what your sister said."

[Sure enough, the people who expose your shortcomings must be the people around you. ]

Fu Guiru narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "I am warning you, Xiaoyu is sincere to you. If you dare to have any bad intentions, I will deal with you without your mother-in-law having to do anything."

Li Ye finished the nutritious porridge in one gulp, and then said confidently: "Don't worry, mother, Xiaoyu is the only one in my life."

Fu Guiru stuffed two pot stickers into Li Ye's mouth and said, "You're smart. Eat your fill and go back to work! When you come back in the afternoon, buy some fresh pig's trotters. I want the hind trotters. I want them for making soup."

Li Ye was about to agree, but suddenly said, "Mom, I may not be home for dinner today. I need to go to the teacher's house."

"Then you can leave later. I will choose some gifts for you to take back."

Fu Guiru knew that Li Ye had learned from a great "economics master", so she believed that Li Ye's current keen investment intuition was due to the training of this master, and he must be respected and thanked.

. . . . . . . . .

After get off work in the afternoon, Li Ye drove to the faculty dormitory of Peking University and parked the Santana under Professor Zhang Qiyan’s building.

Since graduation, Li Ye has come less frequently, especially after getting married. He has only come twice in total, one of which was during the Spring Festival to pay New Year's greetings.

So when Li Ye knocked on the door with a gift in hand, Professor Zhang's wife smiled and said, "Hey, what's the wind that brought Section Chief Li here today?"

As Li Ye walked in, he said with a smile: "Master's wife, what you said is wrong. I am now Deputy Director Li!"

"Just show off!"

Professor Zhang, who was sitting on the sofa in the room, cursed with a smile, and then asked, "Tell me! Did you come here today because of something?"

Li Ye asked curiously, "Teacher, isn't today the day for the senior brothers and sisters to come over for a party? What's wrong? Am I going to be kicked out?"

Several of Li Ye's senior brothers and sisters would come to Professor Zhang's place for dinner every once in a while to exchange experiences and insights on economics. However, Li Ye has come less frequently recently, so his sudden visit now seemed abrupt.

Zhang Qiyan glanced at Li Ye and said, "Hmph~, then don't talk about anything today. If you have something to say, keep it to yourself."

"Yeah, I can hold it in."

Li Ye agreed with a smile, and then went to the kitchen to help Teacher Lu cook.

But Li Ye was muttering in his heart: "Even if I said it, you would think I didn't say it."

Li Ye came today because of what Fu Guiru called the "national team" doing to boost the stock market.

Although that junior sister Cai Minying did not respect her senior brother Li Ye, she was now serving the country. Seeing that the crash was about to come, Li Ye was unwilling to let them lose all their money, so he was willing to hint at some of God's prophecies.

After Li Ye entered the kitchen, he heard teacher Zhang Qiyan calling someone.

"Hey, why haven't you come yet? Li Ye is here."

"Hey, Li Ye is here, what are you still talking about?"

After a while, several senior brothers and sisters, as well as the arrogant little sister, all came.

Senior sister Yu Xiufen came in and yelled, "Where's my landlord? We haven't seen each other for half a year. Do you want to pay the rent?" Li Ye was just walking out with dishes in his hand, and said seriously, "Shouldn't you be happy that the landlord doesn't ask for the rent? What tenant would rush to give money to others?"

In order to get married, the families of Yu Xiufen and Zou Mengcheng rented a courtyard together from Li Ye. They paid Li Ye a symbolic rent according to the "market price" every month, but Li Ye never asked for it. It was only when they met occasionally that the two families forced the rent on Li Ye.

Senior Brother Zou Mengcheng smiled and said, "Because Deputy Director Yu is moving to a new building, he is worried that he will owe you rent, so he feels uneasy."

At this time, Li Ye was surprised and said, "Senior sister, has your company allocated housing? You can't keep quiet about the joy of moving to a new house! If you don't say anything, I will quarrel with you."

"Don't listen to your Senior Brother Zou's nonsense, the fate has not even started yet!"

While distributing bowls and chopsticks to everyone, Yu Xiufen explained, "Our company is building a staff building, so I should be eligible for a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.
But now there are too many people in line, some are senior, some have a large population, and the house I live in is the most spacious, so my boss wants me to live in the house that others replaced, but I get bored when I see that."

Yu Xiufen was promoted to deputy director this year. Logically speaking, she is considered a "young and promising" person, but there are too many people of high enough rank in the Beijing government agencies, and not everyone can get a two-bedroom apartment.

If Yu Xiufen was given one and a half rooms, how could she bear it since she was used to living in half a yard?
Zhang Qiyan looked at Yu Xiufen and suddenly said, "Xiufen! Why don't you and Zhiyuan pool your money together and buy yourself a small courtyard? Look at the houses that Li Ye bought. They have doubled in value in a few years."

"It's not just doubled, it's multiplied several times."

Yu Xiufen said with envy and regret: "When Peng Rui got married, Li Ye urged us to take out a loan to buy a house. Now I really regret it."

Zhang Qiyan glanced at Yu Xiufen and said meaningfully: "If you don't buy it now, you will regret it later."

"."

Yu Xiufen was stunned for a moment, then asked in a low voice: "Teacher, do you mean that inflation will get worse?"

Zhang Qiyan nodded slowly, agreeing with Yu Xiufen's guess.

In the 1980s, many economic figures were inaccessible to ordinary people. In fact, Yu Xiufen, Zou Mengcheng and others knew the trend of inflation, but Zhang Qiyan knew the "inside story" better about how much inflation would occur.

The inflation in 1987 was already very serious, and it skyrocketed in 1988, so Zhang Qiyan predicted that the housing prices would rise sharply again.

But even if she knew that the house price would increase, what could she do? Yu Xiufen was promoted to a higher level, and her salary was only more than 200 yuan. She still didn't dare to think about a small courtyard worth tens of thousands of yuan.

What's more, there are courtyard houses to live in with rent of a few dollars a month, so there is no strong motivation to buy a house.

After several senior brothers and junior brothers had enough wine and food, they started to have a conversation around the fire, which was the original intention of everyone insisting on having dinner together.

Everyone can get a lot of information from each other, and can also express their own ideas for everyone to exchange and discuss, which is quite like "talking big".

"In fact, the inflation situation in our mainland is not unsolvable. If we fully lift the price restrictions on commodities, we can gradually and fundamentally solve the chronic disease of the planned economy."

"We can't be so arbitrary. Our situation is different from that of Lighthouse and Japan. If the changes are too fast, the fragile market supply system may not be able to withstand it."

"It is definitely not possible to copy Japan's economic model. I heard that a lot of hot money has been pouring into Japan's financial market recently. This hot money will dramatically boost Japan's economy in the short term, but when it recedes, I don't know how many people will die."

Li Ye found an opportunity and finally brought the topic to Japan's financial market.

Cai Minying really understood and quickly started the conversation with Li Ye.

At this point, Yu Xiufen and others were at a loss, because in an era without the Internet, the overseas economic information they could obtain was very limited. Even if they knew a little bit, they could not see through the essence of it.

Twenty minutes later, Cai Minying stared at Li Ye for a full ten seconds, and suddenly blurted out, "Why would someone like you want to hang out in a car factory? Is it just because you can get promoted faster?"

"."

Li Ye's senior brothers and sisters were all speechless, and Yu Xiufen kept giving Cai Minying a look.

Everyone has attended Li Ye's wedding and knows Li Ye's background. Of course, no one thinks that Li Ye was forced to work for the Light Automobile Company. He must have his own development path.

But how can such things be said openly?

An essay like "My Mayor Father" will not win the first prize, because the kid who wrote it will have his legs broken by his father.

However, Li Ye was not angry. Instead, he smiled faintly and said, "A great man once said that only by going among the people and understanding their needs and sufferings can we achieve greater things. People who have never been hungry cannot solve the problem of food and clothing."

"."

“Old-fashioned!”
