Since 1983

"ah!"

At nine o'clock in the morning, Xu Fei opened his eyes, exhaled comfortably, and felt all the energy in his body.

Getting up at three or four in the morning for more than a month, no matter how young I am, I can't stand it anymore, and I finally got enough sleep today.

The weather in August was already a bit cool, so he put on his shirt and jeans, and when he went out, he saw Zhang Li and Chen Xiaoxu playing chess in the yard. The emerald green gourd stand, the delicate girl, still plays Go.

Tut tut!

Teacher Xu lamented that future generations will only be able to watch this scene in the Gufeng circle, and it's a posing.

Zhang Li beckoned, "You do it for me, I'll heat up the meal."

"Why else, you can do it ten times."

"You have the nerve to say, I just admit defeat."

What the hell?

Xu Fei leaned closer and took a look, "Isn't this a win? If you put one here, won't five pieces be connected?"

"..."

The two of them didn't talk to the fool, they covered the chessboard, and they were ready to play again when they came back.

Resentful, he called to Zhang Li: "Don't worry about it, I'm not too hungry, let's eat at noon."

"Oh, shall we go out then?"

"Go out."

There are three bicycles in the family, one in the main house, one in the east house and one in the west house. Xu Fei rode by himself, while Zhang Li carried Chen Xiaoxu on his back to Xidan.

In the 1980s, people in Beijing had a saying: go to Xidan for shopping malls, Wangfujing for shopping buildings, Dong’an for shopping markets, and Qianmen for street shopping.

The Wangfujing Building is well-repaired, with a facade in the capital, and high-end products. Xidan is more popular, with a lot of small commodities, and relatively common people.

Xu Fei prefers the latter, so today he went to find a shop.

The so-called Xidan business district is concentrated on one North Street. The distance is very short, from Xinjiekou to the south, you will arrive at Lingjing Hutong after riding for three to five miles.

Crossing Lingjing Hutong is the north entrance of the business circle.

The three of them came to the northeast corner, which was originally a stadium with an open-air lighted basketball court, two floors of auditoriums, and a three-story ground, where there were games everywhere.

On the south side, there is a section of wall about 200 meters long, on which ordinary people can express their political opinions or aspirations, which is called the cooking wall.

Later, a playground was built next to the basketball court, with bumper cars, small trains and so on.

As a result, I haven't been here for a long time, and found that the stadium has been dismantled, surrounded by baffles, and there are tinkling constructions inside.

Chen Xiaoxu tilted his head and looked at it, and suddenly said: "I read it in the newspaper, saying that there is going to be a Quanyechang, and there are people selling things inside. Teacher Xu, why don't you wait a little longer and come back when it is built? "

"Pull it down, I have to wait until next year."

Xu Fei also looked at it, and said: "This should be a bazaar. The shops inside and the sheds outside are all small stalls, noisy. You can't do it here in the early days. When the business is booming, it's not bad to set up a stall. "

During the period of the Republic of China, an industrialist built a Quanye shopping mall, which meant "to persuade my fellow countrymen to be proficient in business and diligent in business, to develop business, and to increase the market."

Since then, Quanyechang has the meaning of encouraging the development of national industry and commerce, and many cities used to have it—it is no longer called this.

The three listened for a while, then continued to walk in. Chai Dai's two faces were earth-shattering, attracting countless onlookers, and by the way, Jia Yun was also caught by the lemon.

The two girls couldn't hang on, so they split up.

Xu Fei had no choice but to walk in alone, observing carefully all the way. The prosperity of Xidan today is no less than that of a commercial street in a small town around 2000. There are many key time-honored brands, such as Baozi Shop, Tianyuan Sauce Garden, Hongbinlou, and Tongchun Garden.

Among them, the one with the densest passenger flow is the Xidan shopping mall, but he doesn't want to rent a shop there, he wants an independent one.

It's hard to find independent ones. I turned around and didn't like it, so I turned around and came back again. Finally, at the northwest corner of the road, which is across from the stadium, I saw a big house.

It can have hundreds of square meters, two gates, and many windows. One of them was closed tightly, while the other was open, with a sign saying "Xidan Wedding Gift Shop".

Curious, he went in and took a look, surprised in his heart.

The business is extremely hot, and there are all couples of newcomers, because everything is special. Bed sheets, quilt covers, thermos pots, enamel cups, washbasins and so on with the red happy characters printed on them can be bought all at once.

If you have a brain, it is clearly a one-stop wedding ceremony!

In fact, he didn't know that this was the first wedding shop in the capital, so that the foundation was laid, and there were more and more related shops. Later, there was a special wedding building in Xidan.

And he looked next door, there was a locked door leading to another large room.

Xu Fei wandered out, stood at the door and waited for a while, then grabbed the couple casually.

"What are you doing?" He was startled.

"I want to find out, is this state-owned or self-employed? I'm also planning to get married, so I'm a little worried."

The other party's face was slightly relaxed, and said: "I heard that it is opened by the unit under the civil affairs department, and the things are good."

"Oh, thank you, I'm relieved then!"

Xu Fei moved to the stadium again, and waited and waited until it was noon before the two girls came to meet up, one with a paper bag in his hand, and the other with two fresh fish.

"Why are you still buying fish?"

"I think it's quite fresh. I'll braise it for you tonight."

"Hey, it's cruel to cook a fish that is alive and kicking like this."

"Well, it's really greedy." Chen Xiaoxu nodded.

"If you have the ability, don't eat it!"

Zhang Li felt tired like raising two bear children all day.

They didn't find a suitable one either, so the three moved to the opposite side again. Xu Fei pointed to the big house, "This is from the Civil Affairs Office. I think half of it is vacant. If you want to buy it, you can rent it if you can't."

“The location is good and the space is big.”

"It may not work, your decoration will affect other people's business."

The two said a few words, and seeing him not moving, they wondered, "Are you going in?"

"I won't go this time, you go in and talk."

"ah?"

"Oh, what, I really may not be able to negotiate."

Xu Fei yelled at people, "Go, go, you both have dividends, and you can contribute a little bit."

"this……"

The two felt uneasy, Chen Xiaoxu pursed his lips, and suddenly pulled Zhang Li, "It's okay, let me tell you first, you fill in the gaps, it's okay if we can't talk."

So, Xu Fei held the elbow of Tianfu in one hand and two fish in the other, and waited outside with peace of mind.

About half an hour later, a manager-like woman personally sent them out, smiling all over her face, "I have to report to the leader, do some research, please come back in a few days."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, it's not hard, ouch, who wouldn't like to be a neighbor with Daiyu Baochai?"

The woman went back, but Chen Xiaoxu didn't look very cheerful, and said, "I said to rent a house, and she said to do some research, but I think it's pretty much the same."

"Well, I think so too."

Zhang Li sensed her emotions instantly, and said with a smile, "Xiao Xu was awesome just now, she basically said what she said, and this time he made a great contribution."

"Isn't that good, why are you still frowning?"

"I don't hope it's because of our faces, I hope it's because of our real abilities." Chen Xiaoxu was depressed.

"Being able to brush your face is also a kind of ability. How many smooth sailing entrepreneurs are there? We don't use the convenience, but if we insist on asking for trouble, it would be hypocritical. Besides, the masses like you, it has nothing to do with your own ability. Contradictory. If you really have diamonds, sooner or later you will be able to take over the porcelain work." Xu Fei enlightened.

"..."

Xiao Xu remained silent, as if thinking about the dialectical relationship, and then nodded suddenly, "Well, it makes sense."
