Reborn 80s

Chapter 1 I am in the tide of the times
The siren sounded on the river, with black smoke drifting away. On the calm river, a river boat with a deep draft cut through the water, carrying a boat full of industrial products, which were about to be sold all over the country.

A small two-story building facing the river, built on the hillside, with gray bricks and black tiles.

At the front of the street, there is already a bustling voice of people, and the sound of hawking can be heard endlessly.

Judging from people's clothes, it was early summer, and the morning was a little cold, and everyone was wearing a thin coat.

Through the glass of the window, Chen Huaiqing glanced at the street, the crowds were like weaving, stretching endlessly.

Every morning, you can see such a scene, a scene of urban life.

Sighing lightly, for the past two months, every day when he got up, he would look at the window for a while to confirm that he was really in the 80s.

He is a reborn, the kind worn by souls.

When I was crossing the sidewalk, I was hit by a car with a green license plate. For some reason, I was reborn back to the 80s.

At this time, 1983, just Lixia, is the early summer season.

He is located in Yuzhou, in the southwest of China, on the edge of the Yangtze River.

What was Yuzhou like in 1983?

In the past, he would not pay attention to these things, even though his former home was not far from Yuzhou.

At this time, Yuzhou was undoubtedly a well-developed industrial city in China, ranking third in GDP, with a non-agricultural population of nearly 200 million (actually 199 million).

The first city in Shuchuan!
Later, Rongcheng Province was directly overwhelmed by Yuzhou.

Chen Huaiqing put on his coat, buttoned it up, went downstairs, opened the door, and locked it again.

Blending into the flow of people, Chen Huaiqing walked slowly towards a factory.

Jialin Machinery Factory!
You have heard of the name of Jialin Motorcycle, right?
Here is where Jialin motorcycles are produced. Chen Huaiqing is a regular worker in Jialin Machinery Factory, responsible for engine assembly.

Three years ago, a production accident occurred in the factory, and Chen Huaiqing's father died in the accident.

At the age of 16, Chen Huaiqing took over his father's shift and began to work in the factory.

Started as an apprentice and became a full-time worker a year ago.

When he came to his work station, Chen Huaiqing started to work. Now the factory offers piece-rate wages, more pay for more work, so no one is lazy.

Chen Huaiqing skillfully assembled the engine. For him at this time, he was already very proficient at this job. He could do it with his eyes closed. It was a bit exaggerated, but it was about the same.

"Huaiqing, go play billiards after get off work."

Chen Huaiqing glanced at the person who was speaking, and continued to move his hands. He tightened the screws on the engine with a wrench, and the assembly of an engine was considered complete.

Chen Huaiqing went to work before, and he didn't say what money he had saved. Most of it went out to eat and drink with a group of friends.

Going to the pool room to play is also a regular thing.

Billiards, like table tennis, are widely popular in China, and billiard tables can be seen in the streets and alleys.

Yuzhou naturally has many.

After rebirth, Chen Huaiqing never went there again, and he really had no interest in billiards.

"Not today, I have something to do."

Facing Chen Huaiqing's refusal again, Xiao Weidong said strangely: "You boy, what's the matter recently, I told you to go out to play together and didn't go out, what are you busy with?"

"Find a way to make money!"

Xiao Weidong didn't know what to say when he heard the words.

Now that ten thousand yuan households have appeared for many years, people have been greatly stimulated and are thinking about how to make money.

It's just that what happened last year also scares people a lot.

Many people who have ideas in their hearts are temporarily waiting and watching.

"Huaiqing, are we good brothers?"

Chen Huaiqing looked at Xiao Weidong for a while, whenever someone said this, there must be no good thing!
"Yes!"

The Xiao Weidong in front of him has played with Chen Huaiqing since they were young, and they are very good friends.

"When you make a fortune in the future, don't forget to be a brother!"

Chen Huaiqing pondered for a while: "You know, who is going to buy a motorcycle?"

Xiao Weidong: "Do you have a motorcycle ticket?"

To buy a motorcycle now, you don't have to have money, you have to ask for a ticket.

Tickets are required to buy industrial products such as bicycles and watches.

At this time, the market economy and the planned economy are in parallel. If you have industrial tickets, you can buy them at a much cheaper price.

For example, for steel at this time, the price within the index is 700-800 yuan/ton, and the price outside the plan is 1100-1200 yuan/ton.

The price difference can be somewhat large.

Chen Huaiqing: "There is a second-hand motorcycle and I want to sell it."

Xiao Weidong looked at Chen Huaiqing with a strange face. After so many years of friends, who doesn't know who, Chen Huaiqing can have a motorcycle?
Wait, it can't be stolen goods!
Xiao Weidong looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "You didn't mean to steal it, did you?"

"What are you talking about, I bought the parts myself and spent more than a month assembling them."

Assembling the engine is a very simple matter for Chen Huaiqing, because he already does this job.

As for assembling the vehicle?
Chen Huaiqing went to another workshop to steal the teacher.

Originally a worker in the factory, when he went to other workshops, no one took care of him at all. Instead, he felt that this young man was very self-motivated.

At this time, the Jialin CJ50 motorcycle produced in the Jialin factory, to be honest, was really simple to Chen Huaiqing, and he knew it at first glance.

Assemble the car yourself?

So that's the case.

Then there is no problem.

"Have you been busy with this all this time?"

"Ok!"

Xiao Weidong thought for a while and said: "The Dafei who runs the video room, he is going to buy a motorcycle, or I'll ask you about it?"

Big fly?

This person, Chen Huaiqing, knew that he had opened a video studio, which mainly played Hong Kong movies, and at night, he played salty and wet movies.

A picture suddenly appeared in my mind, a hot summer day, the fan in the video room was not useful at all, a woman squatting in front of the TV looking like changing video tapes.

Throwing this picture away, is the impression too deep?

Chen Huaiqing and Li Fei are very close friends. In the past, they often went to his home video hall to watch videos at night.

One dollar, as long as you want.

"No, I'll go directly to him."

Chen Huaiqing ran to the workshop director to ask for leave before it was time to get off work.

"Qing Wazi, you have a lot of time off this month!"

Chen Huaiqing smiled and said, "Uncle Huang, although I have asked for leave a lot, I have done a lot of work! Every day's work has been completed."

If Huang Chengwang hadn't seen that Chen Huaiqing had finished his workload every day, he wouldn't have granted him leave at all.

"Okay, let's go. If you don't work hard every day, you will know how to play."

Young people today...

To Chen Huaiqing, Huang Chengwang couldn't say anything, he was an adult, so what should he say?
Chen Huaiqing went straight to Li Fei's video hall. Naturally, the video hall can't be opened on the main road, in the small streets and alleys, as people spread word of mouth.

When I arrived, I saw Li Fei sitting at the door with a big horse and a sword.

When Li Fei saw Chen Huaiqing, he smiled and said, "Hey, brother Chen, it's been a while!"

Chen Huaiqing pulled the stool and sat down: "I'm not busy recently. I have something I want to ask you."

"You said."

"I heard that you want to buy a motorcycle?"

Hearing Chen Huaiqing say this, Li Fei couldn't help but be serious: "You have?"

"I have a second-hand motorcycle in my hand, do you want it?"

Li Fei: "How much?"

Chen Huaiqing made a sign, meaning 800 yuan.

He would like to ask for a higher price, but the situation does not allow it. Now the new car is only one or two thousand.

At this time, the wages of the workers are only 50 yuan a month.

Like Chen Huaiqing and the others, because life in the factory is very prosperous, the production volume is high, and the wages are slightly higher.

"Your second-hand ones are a bit expensive, seven hundred and five."

Chen Huaiqing hesitated for a moment. His total investment cost was 230 yuan. If he sold it for 750 yuan, he could make a net profit of 520 yuan.

Although it took more than a month to get it done, no matter how you calculate it, this monthly income was considered exaggerated in the 80s.

"Okay, now let's look at the car."

Seeing that Chen Huaiqing agreed, Li Fei stood up with a smile: "Where is the car?"

"my home."

"Wait for me, I'll ask my wife to come out and see the array."

As he spoke, Li Fei shouted inside: "Wang Qiaoyan!"

"Call for injustice, cry!"

"Stay at the door of the store. Brother Chen has a motorcycle. I'll ride it."

Chen Huaiqing glanced at Li Fei's wife ignorantly. She was 30 years old, she was dressed in makeup and powder, and she was dressed a little differently from ordinary people. She was bolder and showed more, which touched people's hearts.

No, as soon as he came out, the passers-by more or less cast a glance at Wang Qiaoyan.

In this day and age, as long as you know how to dress up, you will be able to shine and attract the attention of many men.

Wang Qiaoyan was lazily sitting on the bamboo chair at the door, and she looked quite amorous: "A lot?"

Li Fei scowled and said, "Seven hundred and five!"

"Doesn't the new one cost one or two thousand?"

Li Fei explained: "His one is second-hand. I'll take a look first, and if it's suitable, I'll buy it."

"Okay, come back quickly. I have something to do later."

"Don't worry, I'll be right back."

For a long time, in Chen Huaiqing's memory, Li Fei was called Brother Fei, and he never expected to see him like this today.

It was a surprise.
