Mixed in 1980

Chapter 14 First Date
"What are you busy with, kid?"

Li Hongbing knocked on the door and came in to see Chen Fan writing: "Still writing. It's spread all over the yard. Your novel is going to be taken off the shelves."

It goes without saying that the fact that this matter has spread to this extent is all thanks to Zhang Jianjun.

He ran to Chen Fan's house and pretended to be a "good brother who is worried about you", but the next moment he caused all kinds of trouble.

This is very Zhang Jianjun!
Chen Fan was too lazy to talk about such trivial matters. If he was going to do something, he would do it on a big scale. He directly intercepted Zhang Jianjun's opportunity and destroyed his chance to make a fortune in his previous life.

It's almost done.

He and Li Hongbing have become good friends, so when the opportunity comes, Zhang Jianjun will have no chance.

"It was said before that I made tens of thousands of dollars."

Chen Fan put down his pen and rolled his eyes: "I don't even know it myself, but they spread it with details. Each of them is a talent in intelligence."

"That's true. These old ladies have nothing to do all day long, so they just love to gossip."

Li Hongbing took out a cigarette and threw one to Chen Fan: "Let me tell you something. I also plan to set up a street stall. Do you think this can work?"

Chen Fan took the cigarette and looked at Li Hongbing in surprise. This had never happened in his previous life.

I guess it's because he saw Chen Min making money that he became more interested.

"It's definitely a good thing. You can make money by setting up a street stall, but you have to have a good attitude. After all, most people still think that self-employed people are not decent."

"Are you saying that riding a tricycle is respectable?"

Li Hongbing haha, he was already called Camel Xiangzi, why should he care about his dignity? "It's nothing more than changing from a boss to a trader, making money is the real thing."

"That's the right mindset. It's not bad to make money. What are you going to sell?"

"I'm thinking about it."

"What's there to think about? Just pick up your ancestral craft and you'll definitely be able to make money."

Li Hongbing's family used to run a pickle workshop. Although it is not as good as Liubiju, it is also a time-honored brand and many elderly people in Beijing have an impression of it.

With this skill, let alone running a street stall, you can even open a shop and support yourself.

"That's true. My pickles were famous in the past. I'll get everything ready and start cooking tomorrow."

"Is the money enough? Do you want me to support you a little?"

"No need. I've been riding a tricycle for more than ten years, so I still have some savings. You continue writing. I'll go back and figure out what to buy."

After leaving the room, Li Hongbing felt warm in his heart.

I have lived in this courtyard for more than ten years, and this is the first time someone has offered to lend me money.

Chen Fan calculated the time and realized that Li Hongbing's business would not last long. His family would soon come back from Hong Kong to find him, and that opportunity would soon come.

Before that, you have to prepare the money.

So I stopped wasting time and picked up the pen to continue writing. I have written a lot recently. I will go to the magazine's social media to submit the manuscript next Monday and get the payment first.

Early the next morning, Chen Fan went out for another run. After coming back, he took a shower, changed into new clothes, and put the cut fruits and water bottle into his cross-body bag.

He was looking forward to this date.

But this expectation only lasted for a few minutes. In addition to Xu Jinqiu, Zhao Yuanyuan also came, shining brightly like a big light bulb.

A hundred watts!
Zhao Yuanyuan was totally unaware and joked as soon as they met: "Since you are the type who is attracted to our Qiu'er, I will be responsible for keeping an eye on you today."

Chen Fan chuckled and rolled his eyes: "I hope you can find someone who is not attracted to you or lusting after you. You don't even need to get a marriage certificate, you two can just become sworn brothers."

"Pfft..."

Xu Jinqiu couldn't help laughing and rolled her eyes at Chen Fan: "Don't bully Yuanyuan, she is right, you are the type who is attracted by beauty, I have to be on guard."

Chen Fan discovered that this girl was a bit naughty.

It is somewhat contrasting with her appearance. The brokenness on her face always makes people think that she is a fragile girl.

But it’s better to be a little naughty with girls, it’s easier to get along with them.

He immediately replied, "Girl, there is a difference between being attracted by someone's beauty and falling in love at first sight."

"What's the difference?" "Being attracted by her beauty means that I wish I could sleep with her for one night; falling in love at first sight means that I wish I could sleep with her for the rest of my life." Chen Fan said jokingly.

"Bah, gangster!"

The two girls blushed. Girls in the 1980s had never heard such jokes.

After spitting, the two of them hurried out of the alley. After a while, they arrived at the bus stop and finally squeezed on the bus with a lot of effort.

Traveling is still inconvenient these days.

It's more than ten kilometers from Nanluoguxiang to the Summer Palace. If you ride a bicycle, your legs will break if you ride it.

Taking a taxi is even more impossible. The starting fare is three yuan, and an additional fifty cents per kilometer. The fare for a single trip is ten yuan, and twenty yuan for a round trip, which is equivalent to a temporary worker's monthly salary.

It is said that driving a taxi is a great career.

The bus stopped and started, and swayed for nearly an hour before finally arriving at the Summer Palace.

After getting off the bus, the first thing that catches your eye is the vast farmland surrounding the Summer Palace. At this time of year, rice has been planted on the farmland, and the place is full of lush greenery.

"What a luxury!"

Chen Fan had never dared to dream of growing rice next to the Summer Palace in his two lifetimes, but now, this place has not been developed yet, and he wants to come here to stock up on land.

It doesn't have to be a lot, just a few acres will do.

Build another holiday villa. Once the economy develops, this villa will be enough to support you for ten lifetimes.

Chen Fan ran to the ticket office to line up. Xu Jinqiu trotted over and took out six yuan: "We agreed that today is my treat. Don't think about cheating."

"We agreed that you would treat us to hotpot, but we didn't say anything else."

Xu Jinqiu was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but she could do nothing about it. She had discovered that this man was not only cunning and talkative, but also very domineering.

Once you enter the Summer Palace, it becomes lively.

As the reform and opening-up began, the tourism industry is slowly recovering. Many people come to the Summer Palace to visit, including some foreigners.

In addition, a group of young people dancing in bell-bottom pants were seen.

Chen Fan was very annoyed by this group of people. Wherever there was an open space, they would be there. He would be disturbed every morning when he was reading in Beihai Park, and he could not avoid them when he came to the Summer Palace.

However, if the dancers were long-legged, Chen Fan would still be willing to watch: "They are dancing the cha-cha, right? Can you guys do it?"

"No!" Xu Jinqiu said.

"Aren't you from the dance troupe?"

"What are you thinking? We are temporary workers who were forced to come here. We are still practicing basic skills. The leaders of the group don't allow us to dance the cha-cha."

"What a shame. I wanted to see you dance."

Xu Jinqiu's pretty face turned red and she kicked Chen Fan angrily. How could you look at a girl like that, scanning her up and down as if you were an X-ray machine?

Zhao Yuanyuan took over the conversation and jokingly said, "If you want to watch dancing, it's not that easy. I'll take you to the troupe to watch the rehearsal on Monday. They're all professionals, and they all have fair skin and beautiful looks."

Digging a hole here.

Chen Fan straightened his expression and snorted, "Beautiful skins are all the same, but interesting souls are rare. I'm not interested in those pretty skeletons you're talking about."

"You are such a big mouth. Everything you say is so complicated."

Xu Jinqiu looked at this man helplessly, but what he said was very true: beautiful appearances are all the same, but interesting souls are rare to find.

“I just felt that.”

"You're speaking from your heart. You're just full of tricks. I advise you to be more sincere." Xu Jinqiu snorted. He was too quick with his words.

"Girl, since ancient times, true love cannot be retained, only tricks can win people's hearts."

……

Watching her best friend arguing with Chen Fan, Zhao Yuanyuan couldn't help but sigh. This girl was really hopeless. She was being led by Chen Fan without realizing it.

　Tickets~ Brothers, just pass by and give me two~
