Mixed in 1980

Chapter 184 Maintaining Personality
The plane landed in Beijing. Guan Yuemei couldn't help but stretch herself as she came out of the airport. She took her little girl's hand and walked out. It would be more comfortable to live in Beijing.

The old saying is right, there is no place like home. When I returned to the capital, everything I saw seemed pleasing to the eye, even the air was sweet.

She has forgotten how she cursed every year when the sandstorm came.

Anyway, Chen Fan remembered that there was a sandstorm in March this year, which completely ruined his mother's good mood. She hid in the house and cursed for more than an hour.

If God heard it, he would probably shrink his neck. At that moment, Chen Fan didn't dare to breathe, for fear that his mother would think that his breathing triggered a butterfly effect and a sandstorm.

However, the sandstorm in the capital city was indeed a headache. In those days, people were more irritable than women during their menstrual period. Lao She had a very detailed description of this:
The bald mountains in the north could not stop the strong wind from outside the Great Wall, and the city walls of the capital, although so strong and thick, could not stop it.

The cold wind, carrying yellow sand, blew in with a ghostly sound, the sky was dark, and the sun and moon lost their light.

The blue sky turned yellow, and yellow sand fell.

On the ground, the black soil containing horse urine and donkey dung and trivial matters flew proudly into the sky.

……

The Three North Shelterbelt Project has a long way to go!

Chen Fan couldn't help but think of Saihanba. It had been more than two years since he came back from there, and he had never been back to visit. He didn't know how those friends were doing now.

For him, it was actually two lifetimes.

"Maybe, it's time to go back and take a look."

Muttering silently, Chen Fan collected his thoughts, followed his mother into the taxi, and soon returned to the Chen family compound in Yuer Hutong.

As soon as I opened the door, Kong Lanchun and Xie Xiaofang came to greet me and enthusiastically helped me carry my luggage. Although the host was away from home every day, it was like a backbone was missing.

"Chen Fan!"

The sudden voice startled Chen Fan, and then he saw Guan Xiaoyu running straight towards him from the middle courtyard, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Why is this girl here?

Before he could react, Guan Xiaoyu had already pulled up his hand and bit it, causing him to gasp in pain: "Guan Xiaoyu, do you have rabies?"

"You still said that!"

Guan Xiaoyu burst into tears and started punching Chen Fan. She kept scolding him while crying, and the more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt.

She has been here for half a month!
I ran over with great joy, but there were only two nannies left at home.

Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After the little girl had vented enough, he asked, "Why did you come to the capital?"

It would have been fine if he hadn't said it, but once he started talking about it, Guan Xiaoyu couldn't help but kick him again: "Did you forget again? I'm taking the college entrance examination this year, so I'm going to college."

"Huh?" Chen Fan was stunned again.

Go to Beijing to go to university? In her previous life, Guan Xiaoyu applied to a local school in Magic City: "You are applying to a university in Beijing?"

"Beijing Normal University, with my sister-in-law."

After saying that, she left Chen Fan and ran to greet Guan Yuemei and Xu Jinqiu, her little mouth smacking non-stop, and she looked very aggrieved.

After a while, Guan Xiaoyu came over to pester Chen Fan again: "You promised me that you would buy me a Walkman when I got into college."

"Buy it. When I have time, I'll go buy you a new camera. Is that okay?" Chen Fan rubbed the little girl's head lovingly.

Guan Xiaoyu nodded.

Chen Fan rolled his eyes at her, and then said to Xu Jinqiu, "Qiu'er, take Xiaoyu to the basement to choose a watch, and pick out two sets of jewelry for her."

"Let's go, Xiaoyu!"

Xu Jinqiu took Guan Xiaoyu's arm and went back to the cross-courtyard: "Your brother has collected a lot of good things. You can choose carefully later. Don't be polite."

Guan Xiaoyu narrowed her eyes: "Thank you, sister-in-law!"

Xu Jinqiu smiled. This girl was strange. She would call herself sister-in-law and thank her, but in front of Chen Fan, let alone thank him, she didn't even call him "brother".

But she just likes to stick to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan also doted on this girl, just like he did on Chen Yi. What Xu Jinqiu didn't know was that when Chen Fan was lying in bed in his previous life, this girl flew over from the Magic City to visit him every few days.

"Where are Sister Ali and Sister Yuanyuan?"

When they arrived at the cross-courtyard, Guan Xiaoyu was a little curious. The three sisters were always inseparable, but today they were nowhere to be seen.

"They are going to Hong Kong to develop their careers. They won't be back for more than a year. When you are free one day, go and complete the formalities and I will bring you to Hong Kong to see them."

Xu Jinqiu opened the door of the basement, turned on the lights in the basement, went down the stairs, and pointed at a few boxes: "These are watches, choose one for yourself." "Patek Philippe?" Guan Xiaoyu widened her eyes.

"you know?"

"Well, one of my classmates wears a watch of this brand. Her father is a self-employed person, but she put the watch away this year."

The wind this year is unusually strong.

Guan Xiaoyu's father used to do secret business and made a lot of money, but he stopped this year and became a well-behaved man.

Her father said that she should be an honest person and do her job properly in the future.

Guan Xiaoyu rolled her eyes a lot for this. If she was scared, she would just say it directly and make a bunch of excuses. However, she really supports her father. The most important thing is that people are safe.

If you really want to make money, you have to wait for the wind to pass.

"It's good that you know each other. Pick one yourself. The others are all jade and jadeite. Take whatever you like. Your brother dotes on you anyway, so he won't feel bad even if he empties it out."

Guan Xiaoyu chuckled and wasn't polite, but she didn't ask for more. She did as Chen Fan said and took a watch and asked for two sets of jewelry.

Coming out of the basement, Chen Fan gave another instruction: "You can keep these things at home, but don't show them off outside."

The public security has been bad in recent years.

If a little girl wearing gold and silver goes out on the street, she might be spotted by street urchins. There are many old men, old men and alley urchins in Beijing.

However, these people will not be able to jump around for long, because the wind will blow on them next year, and it will be a very difficult hurdle for them to overcome.

Those who can’t get through can just squat inside or queue up downstairs and wait for eighteen years.

"I'm not stupid!"

Guan Xiaoyu was not going to be nice to Chen Fan. She put on her watch and asked, "Do you have any rooms in the courtyard outside Xinjiekou?"

Chen Fan hummed: "Yes!"

Guan Xiaoyu's eyes lit up: "Then I'll live there."

Chen Fan nodded: "I'll help you send your luggage over some other day. Oh, by the way, your sister-in-law and I live at home, so that place is left to you. It's enough for you to mess around."

Guan Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then ran over and kicked Chen Fan: "Are you kidding me? Then I will live at home too, and go to school with my sister-in-law in the future."

The brother and sister were arguing when Xie Xiaofang came over and said, "Brother Chen, there are two guests at home. They are here to see you. They are in the living room in the middle courtyard."

"Who is it? What a coincidence?" Chen Fan was surprised.

"A man and a woman. Aunt Guan received them and called them editor-in-chief."

"I'll go over and take a look." Chen Fan walked over quickly.

The woman must be Wang Jingyi. As for the man, Chen Fan is not sure. It could be Wang Wei or Yu Shouren.

Sure enough, the people who came were Wang Jingyi and Wang Wei.

"Brother Wang, Sister Jingyi, why are you here?"

As Chen Fan walked in, he told Xie Xiaofang to serve tea, and asked her to go to the kitchen and ask Kong Lanchun to prepare a table of wine and food.

"I've come to see you several times, but each time I came I found you empty-handed. You're quite busy. I haven't seen you since the summer vacation started." Wang Wei said angrily.

"I just happened to have something to do, so I went to Hong Kong."

Chen Fan took out a cigarette, handed it to Wang Wei, and lit one himself: "You two came together, is there something important?"

Wang Wei took a puff of his cigarette and complained, "What else could I ask you for? You're really lazy. How long has it been since you last wrote?"

Chen Fan was disappointed. It had indeed been long enough.

The serialization of "Awakening Age" has ended, and the column "Chen Fan Sees the World" has also ended a long time ago. Chen Fan has never written anything since then.

Mainly because of lack of motivation!

This cannot be blamed on Chen Fan. The royalties from the mainland can indeed allow him to live well in the mainland, but as he is used to receiving royalties from outside, Chen Fan really looks down on the royalties from the mainland.

However, with these two coming together, I'm afraid they will have to dig out something. After all, personal connections cannot be cut off, and Chen Fan has no intention of giving up his identity as a writer.

Especially the identity of "rogue intellectual".

Since 1980, his identity as a rogue intellectual has unknowingly brought him a lot of conveniences and solved a lot of problems, and it is still extremely useful.
