Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 692 Farewell

The temporary courtyard is officially closed today, and a white notice is posted on a concrete pillar next to the iron gate.

It was approaching ten o'clock in the morning. Li Jiankun came over from the courtyard with the "Stitch Monster" on his back. He looked at the closed rusty iron gate. The cold wind swept the fallen leaves in front of the door. It was a desolate picture. Unavoidably, he still felt a little emotional in his heart. .

In the past four years, during the Spring Festival, the courtyard has always been crowded with people, coming in and out, in an endless stream. There is no more lively place in Wudaokou than here.

Apparently many people had gathered around to watch the notice in the morning, but now they have dispersed. There are still dense and messy wet footprints on the cement floor in front of the courtyard that have not been erased by the sun.

"Boom boom boom!"

Li Jiankun pushed the bicycle and raised his hand to knock on the door.

The person who came to open the door was an unexpected person, Jin Biao. Chen Yajun's head rose from the broad shoulders of the bearded man.

"Why are you two here?"

"As I said, the place where I have stayed for two years is going to be demolished today. I must come and take a look." Jin Biao replied.

Chen Yajun said hehe, "It's not just the two of us."

When Li Jiankun walked into the yard, he found that there were many people standing in the aisles on the left and right. They were scattered at the door of each shop. Some people were staring silently, and there was a family huddled together and whispering, all looking a little lonely.

These are all merchants and their families in small courtyards, and not a single building is empty.

Just as Jin Biao said, there are feelings.

This sentiment doesn’t just come from spending a lot of time here. It was the small shop in front of them that completely changed their and their family's lives.

Who were they when they entered the courtyard?

Most of them are people who have just returned to the city after many years in the countryside. Not to mention the implementation of work, there is not even a bed for them at home. To put it nicely, they are called educated youth, but to put it worse, they are called “superfluous and marginalized people who cannot be properly placed.”

It was this shop that gave them a place to stay and a platform for them to make a living.

After four years of hard work, although they still don't get much respect, they may have become the richest group of people in the city.

Many of them have bought new houses for their families, in which they have enough space of their own to roll around.

The family can afford meat dishes every meal.

The cold of winter can no longer freeze them.

In addition to family members, relatives and friends have also more or less eliminated some of the difficulties in life because of them.

This shop has given them so much...

"Brother Kun is here!" Chen Yajun shouted.

Just now, when he and Jin Biao came over, taking advantage of today and the fact that the policy was now relaxed, they finally found out what all the merchants knew about but had never been confirmed in the face of inquiries from merchants. The secret is out:

The temporary courtyard is Li Jiankun's private property.

At that time, he also made a decision to provide all the shops in it for free to merchants competing for admission.

"Master!" Xu Taosa ran over, stopped in front of Li Jiankun, and subconsciously leaned over.

The latter chuckled, raised his hand and rubbed it, which greatly benefited Xu Tao.

"Brother Kun, long time no see." Lin Xiuxiu from Half the Sky Embroidery Shop looked as shy as she did four years ago, waving her little hands to talk and smiling like a flower.

"Master, you are lucky!" Zhang Hua from the shaomai shop made an exaggerated slave salute. Normally, everyone would have laughed, but not today. In fact, only Li Jiankun was the only one at the scene who thought it was exaggerated. .

Everyone said hello one after another and gathered around, surrounding Li Jiankun in the middle, like stars holding the moon.

The merchants' hearts were bright, and their gratitude towards the shop should be attributed to this man. Ultimately, it was the platform he provided them that changed their lives.

Affected by the sadness that the small courtyard was to be demolished today and the gratitude that the secret was revealed, Li Jiankun found that many people around him had tears in their eyes, and some couldn't bear it...

He's not really that great.

Yes, he helped these people, but his main purpose at the beginning was actually for himself. Doing business in those years was still a very risky thing. He thought of taking advantage of the fact that the law does not punish the public and gathered a group of people to do business together. , for safety.

"Everyone listen to me and don't stop spilling cat urine. I'm not as good as you think, so there's no need to be like this..."

After Li Jiankun explained for a while, Xu Tao pursed her lips and said, "So what? But Master, you did help us in practical terms."

Everyone nodded vigorously.

A merchant interjected: "What about when the economy was in recession in 1982? At that time, almost all the stores we sold goods were discounted, and all the goods purchased were deducted. We lost all the money we earned and still owed money. There was a lot of debt, and I even thought of dying at that time. It was Brother Kun who lent us the money and gave us some advice, so that we could recover and make a comeback."

"Yes, brother Kun, you are our benefactor."

"You are a great man!"

Okay, no need to explain. Li Jiankun looked around and saw a woman bursting into tears.

The rumble coming from outside the hospital relieved Li Jiankun. At ten o'clock sharp, the forklift borrowed from the Zhongguancun Subdistrict Office arrived. It was not a forklift from their subdistrict office, but Zhongguancun had not stopped building buildings and building roads in the past two years. The construction unit was eating their food, and Li Jiankun He also has a close relationship with the street office, so it’s not a big deal to call him to move a yard.

Everyone moved outside the courtyard.

The forklift master climbed out of the car and carefully checked: Is such a good yard really going to be demolished? After getting an affirmative answer, he got back in the car, drove a large forklift that was almost two stories high, and roared towards the courtyard gate.

"Bang! Ta!"

At the moment when a large gap was opened in the courtyard wall and the courtyard door collapsed, tears fell again on the faces of most of the merchants who had just had a clear day after the rain.

<divclass="contentadv">Luna said loudly: "I told you to stop crying. This is the Chinese New Year, and it is obviously a good thing."

After the year, a three-story department store will be built on this approximately 1,700 square meter foundation. The style will be completely different by then, and the number of shops inside will also increase to nearly 150.

This place will become more and more lively.

The current dilapidation is only temporary, and the future will be better.

"Nana, I know this, but I just want to cry."

Luna: "..."

As the area demolished by forklifts increased, fog and dust rose at the site, so everyone had to retreat further. Everyone did not leave, silently watching the Jiuan Courtyard turn into ruins in the dust, stubbornly determined to send it on its last journey.

Only then did Li Jiankun discover that there were two "latecomers" in the crowd.

Tang Guoyao and Lin Yun are also present today. Li Jiankun is not surprised that Lin Yun has not returned to his hometown yet. He must have bought the tickets in advance for the 28th or 29th of the twelfth lunar month. He is an education and training expert, and students are on winter vacation. It will be very busy during this period, and it is also a very profitable time.

Li Jiankun took out a packet of Huazi and took the two of them aside. Looking at these two guys, he could not help but think of his second sister's life events.

I won’t be able to do business when I go home for the Chinese New Year this year.

The problem was now difficult even for him.

Li Jiankun originally thought that after these two people became rich and powerful, firstly, there would be more Yingying Yanyan around them, which could just tell whether they really like the second sister that much; secondly, many people in this world are You can't be rich. Once you are rich, you will definitely change your gender, and you can test two people.

But guess what?

Lin Yun's training center has no shortage of young and beautiful female teachers. He is as unmoved as an old monk and devotes at least sixteen hours a day to his work.

Tang Guoyao is now considered a mixed-race person, and he doesn't have too many girls to come in contact with. He also has nothing to do with himself among thousands of flowers, and has been socializing in various ways, and that is his job.

Don't ask why Li Jiankun knows so well. With Shanhe's ability in the capital, if they want to know the situation of these two people and make a movie about them 24 hours a day, they may not be able to know.

On the contrary, if the two of them are not so busy and can spare some time, they will report to the tavern in the evening.

Not to mention that our second sister doesn’t know who to choose. Even if Li Jiankun is asked to choose, he can’t choose now.

"My sister has celebrated the 26th of the New Year. You two..." I really want to ask them to fight, but if it is a fight, there is no need to think about the outcome. Teacher Lin will definitely lose.

After taking a puff from Tang Guoyao's cigarette, he said seriously: "The more I see the world, the more I realize that no girl can compare to Yun Shang. She has such a good personality, so kind, and so beautiful... Anyway, I will always Wait for her."

Teacher Lin's words were very concise: "In this life, I am the only one I will not marry."

Li Jiankun: "..."

After being speechless for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said something that shocked the two of them:

"Wait a minute, wait for her, I'm afraid all three of us will have to wait until they are old! Although my sister looks like a big girl from the north, she is actually more coy than the most coy southern girl. There is no way she would do this. The decision has been made, and feelings are ultimately a matter between a man and a woman, and it is not easy for others, including me, to get involved.

"You two must take the initiative to launch an offensive. It's not that difficult to push down my sister's temper. Whoever gets her into bed first will be my brother-in-law. Think about it carefully, that's it!"

Tang Guoyao: "..."

Lin Yun: "..."

After being confused for a while, the two of them looked at each other. As soon as they thought about Yun Shang's upcoming offensive, which was aimed at getting into bed, even though Teacher Lin had such a docile temperament, a strong hostility burst out in his eyes.

Not to mention Tang Guoyao.

I can't bear it! They couldn't even tolerate the idea of ​​a man just fantasizing about sleeping with Yun Shang.

The smell of gunpowder smoke filled the air, and there seemed to be overwhelming flames of war burning between the four eyes.

Li Jiankun didn't want to say such words, but he really had no choice. He could see that if he didn't force these two guys, it was generally foreseeable that his sister would be single until thirty.

He brought his sister out, and the acquaintance between the two guys in front of him and his sister is also related to him. Why don't I chop him up?

"boom!"

With the collapse of the last south wall, the temporary courtyard will remain in history forever.

Li Jiankun looked around, looking through the thick dust, and unconsciously replayed in his mind every detail of when he started doing business in this life:

In order to save capital for business, he did hand-coloring of photos for others. He had to work for at least eight hours every day in addition to class. His butt seemed to be welded to the bench. In order not to disturb his roommates' sleep, he tied the sheets with ropes. Hang it up as a curtain.

The first time I went back to the south to look for supplies, I had no letter of introduction and stayed in a small hotel that charged per bed. I played a psychological game with Wan Yong on Gaodi Street and finally found Cai Shu as a supply channel. Later, he was followed by Xu Qingyou's cousins, and he almost lost his status as the number one costumer in the courtyard.

With the money saved from the two shops in the small courtyard, he was able to later build the Longpai Knife Factory, including the brick and tile factory in his hometown of Qingxidian.

Here, he completed the leap from a household with less than 10,000 yuan to a household with 100,000 yuan.

Primitive accumulation has always been the most difficult process.

Thank you, Jianan Xiaoyuan.

Goodbye.
