Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 1037 Dude

Ask your father, ask your mother, ask the setting sun, is there a Great Northern Wilderness in the sky? Call your son, call your grandson, call the moon, is there a Great Northern Wilderness in the sky? Why can't I see the burning red sorghum, why can't I see the flat, cross-legged kang (heated brick bed), why can't I see the aroma of wine in the wind and snow, why can't I see the sun shining through the straw stacks...

Han Lei was very popular in the early 90s, but unfortunately the domestic music market was dominated by Hong Kong and Taiwan singers at that time. In China, the songs were popular but the singers were not. It wasn't until he came out of the entertainment industry that he became well-known.

Around 92, a large number of classic songs were released, most of which are still sung today: Waiting a thousand years, walking away freely, loneliness makes me so beautiful, dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty, my deskmate, my brother sleeping in the bunk above me, will you come tonight?, as long as you're doing better than me, should I quietly walk away?, the rainy season of seventeen, with you all the way, the red sun, when love has become a thing of the past. There are too many to say.

This year saw the rise of the ageless Lin Zhiying, the relationship between Li Zhongsheng and Lin Yilian, the peak of Zhang Xueyou's career, the fact that Wang Jie's voice hadn't been ruined yet, and the emergence of Meng Tingwei, Yang Yuying, Li Keqin, Lin Zhixuan, and many more. It was a year of musical explosion.

After a cacophony of screaming and howling, and having consumed several dozen beers and some dried fruit and fruit, the group finally emerged from the karaoke bar, still feeling quite unsatisfied. This place used imported LED speakers and microphones, so the sound quality was far superior to places that used video recorders.

However, the cost was much higher; the bill came to over a thousand yuan.

The way karaoke bars in Liaodong operated was completely different from that in the south during that era. They even served snacks, cold dishes, and baijiu (Chinese liquor). This sometimes led to some funny situations. For example, someone in a Guangzhou karaoke bar would order "two pig ears and a bottle of strong baijiu," making the waiters act like they were dealing with a lunatic.

When everyone came out onto the street, most of the shops were already closed, and the crowd leaving the dance hall poured out and dispersed in all directions under the streetlights.

The billiard halls, video arcades, and private hotels are open 24 hours a day. Betting on sports usually starts at this time, and there are always a few couples who need hotel services among the people coming out of the dance halls.

The video arcade started showing "bonus videos" from this time onwards, such as "Peach Blossoms Are Ripe" and "Nature and Man Are Not Hot in Xijing," which were very popular.

The various hooligans and unemployed youths standing by the roadside still stick to their posts. They don't want to go home and have no money to spend, so they gather in places like billiard halls, dance halls, and video arcades to smoke and brag. From winter to summer, they never leave their posts.

These were the same people who often got into fights on the streets. They would suddenly start fighting for no reason. However, by 92, the cost of fighting had increased, and people started asking for money. The number of people who went all out began to decrease. At most, they would stab each other in the stomach with a knife or something.

The entire Northeast began its transformation around this time. Before, people would only use their hands if they could do it, but now they used both hands and words, and later it became more talk than action. The morgues and morgues started to be less tense.

As Hou Qiang was leaving, five or six young men smoking near the entrance of the video arcade saw Qin Xuemei and Xiao Hong take off their masks. They nudged each other a few times, then looked over with gleaming eyes. One of them even whistled. Hou Qiang turned to look, and the guy shrank back. Those eyes were so damn cold.

When the car arrived, everyone got in and left. A few of the young men were getting restless. One of them said, "Damn it, you idiot, why are you so foul-mouthed? Can't you tell right from wrong? If someone takes this seriously, you'll be screwed. You guys keep having fun, I'm going home."

He turned and left. The remaining few looked at each other and dispersed, scared. You can't even imagine the deterrent power of military license plates these days.

I first dropped Siwei and Xiaoqin off at home. As they were getting out of the car, Xiaowei said, "Siwei, did you take your driver's license test? I told you to."

Siwei scratched his head: "I can't do it, I can't remember it, Xiaoqin is testing me." Ga Zi laughed.

Xiao Wei said, "You need to practice driving. I think you should move in there. You've been doing this for so long, you should be all set by now, right? Bus rentals are so convenient. It's just for this winter. Once it gets warmer, you can ride a bike. I'll get you a car when you get your driver's licenses. You can practice driving there when you have nothing to do."

Gazi said, "Come on over, Zhaodi will have company. Why don't you hire someone to sell? Xiaowei is going to open a shopping mall, why don't you set up a stall? Zhaodi and I have already decided that we'll buy one of their malls and hire people to sell it. We'll just manage the goods and collect the money."

Siwei asked, "When are you two going back?"

Gazi said, "That'll have to wait until the end of the year. Go back and stay for a few days, then we'll hold a banquet during the first month of the lunar year to get things done. Have you gotten your marriage certificate yet?"

Xiao Wei said, "He didn't get anything, he didn't even register his household registration. I get so angry just thinking about it. Siwei, the way you handled things, sometimes I really want to kick you a couple of times. Today, my mom even scolded me for ages."

Xiao Hong said, "That's right. You came to Fengtian all this time and now you're acting like strangers. Siwei, you're too cunning, and you're not even using your cunning in the right place."

Xiaoqin glanced at Siwei and said, "He just feels that he's not as good as Xiaowei anymore, that he's far inferior, and he's just resentful about it. I can't persuade him to stop."

Siwei was a little embarrassed and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I was afraid of bothering you. You're all so busy."

Xiao Wei said, "Your and Liu Liu's houses are still here, Liu's upstairs and downstairs. You'd better get over here right now, you hear me?"

Siwei hesitated, then said, "No, no need, right? I'm already familiar with living here. I..."

Xiaoqin interrupted Siwei and said, "Okay, I'll set up the stall tomorrow and then hire people. Once I find someone, I'll move it over. Xiaohong, can you help me get a car? I can't find one."

Xiao Hong said, "We have plenty of cars. You set a date and I'll have them come over. Siwei, this is just this once. If this happens again, we're done and shouldn't have anything to do with each other anymore. This time, I'm counting on Xiaoqin."

Xiao Wei asked, "Do you two know anything about Liu Liu's family situation?"

Gazi said, "I know. His mother has had a relapse, and this time it's quite serious. She's hospitalized in the county. Laizi has been running around taking care of her. I don't even know if she'll make it through the New Year. It's going to be tough."

Xiao Wei said, "You guys are really something. I didn't even know about this until today unless I asked. My mom told me. What about Changyuan and Xinghai? What are they doing?"

Siwei said, "They're on the other side of the stream. They need to find a responsible person and a few reliable salespeople. The arrangements are almost complete now, and they'll definitely come over after the New Year."

Gazi said, "Xinghai and Kexin have also gotten their marriage certificate. I heard from Xinghai that his shares in Beixi might go to his brother-in-law. I didn't ask for details."

Xiao Wei nodded and said, "We've set up a New Year's goods festival on Zhongjie Street, from the end of December to the Lunar New Year. You should all set up a stall there. Ga Zi, you know Manager Zhang, so take Si Wei to him and ask him to make your stall bigger and give you a good spot. You can all spend the Lunar New Year at my house. After the Lunar New Year, we'll go back to the county together."

Gazi asked, "Why are you going back home for the New Year? Aren't your family all here?"

Xiao Wei said, "I'm going to the county to take care of some things, then I'll visit Liu Liu's family and pick up my fourth uncle's family while I'm at it."
