Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 685 "Brother Fang, I want to be a good person!" Dajin's story of getting clean and landing (Monthly ticket plus more)
Da Jin was very satisfied with the name "Yan Jingting". If he were allowed to choose the name himself, he would have chosen a very popular name, or a name in the dialect.

From the ancient poems of the great poet Li Bai.

Moreover, my younger brother Fangyan also said that this name is excellent from any angle and it also matches their Yan family's surname.

More importantly, the name is derived from the dialect.

With this bond of support, when the child needs help in the future, Fangyan may be able to say a word and things will become different.

Judging from the current reputation of dialects, they will definitely get better and better in the future.

To put it in a more superstitious way, Fangyan was the top scorer last year. He was the only person in the country who scored full marks in five subjects. People like him have a "literary air", and the name he took is equivalent to a kind of blessing and protection.

What's more, among the people sitting in the room, who among them is not an outstanding person?

There are even overseas Chinese businessmen.

If everyone agrees that it is good, then it must be correct.

So whether it was Dajin or his wife, they were more satisfied than ever with this name.

After choosing the name, Dajin felt a little embarrassed to ask Fangyan for help in finding the way.

After all, I feel that it is a good name.

I feel like it would be impolite to ask again.

But at this time Fangyan took the initiative to ask about this matter.

Fangyan took two bites of food and asked Dajin:

"By the way, Dajin, what are you going to do next?"

"I heard from your brother Yan Hua a few days ago that you didn't take over your previous job after you came back this time."

Hearing Fangyan bring it up, Dajin immediately took over the conversation and said:

"Yes, now the brothers are doing well with my brother, better than I was back then. Now I don't think it's necessary to go back. Besides, my brother has been admitted to university, and my wife has given birth to a boy, so I thought about finding something else to do."

"But I'm not well educated, so I really don't know what to do for the time being."

Fangyan was a little surprised to hear Dajin say this, and asked:
"You don't plan to make money from side jobs?"

Da Jin scratched his head and said:
"Well, I've seen a lot of things since I went out. Now that I'm old, I feel like I can't make any more money."

Dajin actually plans to mend its ways.

Fangyan sighed, it seems that his son really brings him good luck.

If he continues to do this, even if he doesn't die in a few years, he will have to be imprisoned for a few years.

It is quite appropriate to turn over a new leaf now.

After all, the reform was going to begin in December 1978.

Moreover, the original group of people under him have been taken over by someone else, so he doesn't have to worry too much.

However, Fangyan feels that it is quite difficult for people like him to live a peaceful life. Although he wants to mend his ways, he is used to making money through illegal means and doesn't know how to do anything else. He will probably have to go back to being a mixed up person if he can't make a living.

So Fangyan had to ask him what he wanted to do.

Fangyan asked Dajin:

"So what do you have in mind?"

When Da Jin heard the question from Fang Yan, he hesitated for a long time and then said:
"I just want you to show me the way, Brother Fang."

Fangyan actually guessed that Dajin had this plan, so when he heard him say this, Fangyan was not surprised at all.

Looking at history, there are actually quite a lot of people who have cleaned themselves up and returned to society during this period.

For example, the prototype of Brother Bin in "Ash Is Purest White" was a shareholder of a coal mine in Datong. He started out by collecting protection fees in the 80s and cleaned himself up in 2003 by contracting the coal mine and restructuring it.

There is also Zhong Yuemin in "Blood Romance". His process from a gangster to a pancake stall owner was based on the real experience of Zhang, the founder of BJ's "Veteran Restaurant".

There is also Chi Zhiqiang. Although he is not a gangster in the traditional sense, he was imprisoned in 1983. After his release, he returned to the public eye with the song "Tears Behind Bars". He worked hard in his acting career and achieved a comeback in life. This can also be regarded as an example of successful transformation after a bumpy experience. There are countless such people in Hong Kong. For example, the most famous one is the prototype of "Jimmy", which has been talked about by later generations.

There are also actors Wu Zhixiong (Big Brother B) and Li Zhaoji (Brother Ji), who gradually got rid of their past bad image through their efforts in the film and television industry, became actors well-known by the audience, and successfully achieved an identity transformation.

This type of transformation is essentially a special product of the period of institutional change, and its successful counterparts often possess three major elements: seizing the policy window, establishing a network of relationships, and completely cutting off violent teams.

But in most cases, the success rate of completely whitewashing is actually not very high. Most of the time, the case enters a "gray" state, walking the line between legal and illegal.

Fangyan thought about it and realized that in the early stage of social transformation in 1978, if a marginalized figure like Dajin with only primary school education wanted to whitewash himself and transform himself, the key was to seize the institutional loopholes in the transition from a planned economy to a market economy.

There are actually a lot of areas for manipulation here.

After thinking for a while, he said to Da Jin:

"How about this, if you trust me, I will arrange a job for you in a library or bookstore, and you can go there and read books peacefully for a year."

"Wait until next year, and I'll tell you what to do."

For a social member like Dajin, Fangyan must first improve his cognition and then temper his temper. If he can stand the test within a year, Fangyan can use him to do many things in the future.

But if he can't stand it and still wants to make his own way, then we can only let him do it.

Anyway, Fangyan also has alternative candidates, such as Jia Dapeng.

Dajin didn't expect that Fangyan would point out this road.

When he opened his mouth to say something, he suddenly realized that a noble person like Fangyan would never speak without a purpose.

So when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he immediately changed his words:
"it is good!"

"You can go to the library!"

Dajin's wife didn't expect that Dajin would agree so readily. This man who never reads books is actually willing to go to a place like the library.

It even felt like he agreed without even thinking about it.

It was as if he had already made up his mind that he would agree no matter what Fangyan said.

Fang Yan said to him:
"Okay, then you can celebrate the festival these few days. I will notify you after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

It is now easy for Fang Yan to arrange a job in a library.

No matter what kind of relationship you find, people will still buy into your ideas.

After the growth during this period of time, my dialect network has grown quite a bit.

"Okay!" After Da Jin agreed, he felt relieved.

He had a hunch that this choice of his would be a major turning point in his life.

After discussing things here, we were almost done with lunch.

After lunch, Fang Yan took the gifts and called Anton, Sophia, and little Zhao Zhengyi. They got in Sophia's Studebaker vintage car and headed for the family quarters of Xiyuan Hospital. Today was considered a big gathering of the sect.

The second and third generation disciples of Master Lu were all present.

It is also the most lively sect gathering throughout the year.

It took Sofia about forty minutes to drive to the destination.

After greeting the security guard Brother Zhang at the door, Fangyan and his friends drove straight in.

When we arrived, we found that the place was full of various jeeps.

It seems that quite a few disciples and followers of old Chinese medicine practitioners from various households have come, and the scene can be called a Chinese medicine martial arts conference.

PS: After finishing this chapter, I still owe you 86000 words.

No more today. Please come early tomorrow.
