If this is not enough, if someone wants to see a life scene with more characteristics of the capital city, they may have to go into the numerous small alleys.
Because those vendors who disappeared for many years have returned.
They still carry burdens, carry baskets, and push carts around the alleys as they did in the past, and are very popular among ordinary people.
Such as those who shave heads, those who sharpen knives and scissors, those who mend pots, those who repair umbrellas, those who sell food, those who sell toys, those who pop popcorn...
Of course, they still use the sound of goods to attract people's attention and attract customers. This is the unique sound of hawking goods in Beijing.
"Sharpen the scissors - sharpen the kitchen knife!"
"Jiangmi rice cake, bee cake, aiwowolie!"
"Hulu, big candied haws, will be dipped!"
"Hey, roasted sweet potatoes are so hot!"
"Hey, radish is as good as pear. If it's spicy, change it to eh!"
Regardless of whether it is the shouting words in perfect rhyme or the sound of the two tuning forks in the hand and the sound of a pile of tin and iron pieces hitting each other, it is a song full of life.
It fell into the ears of the people in the capital, and it was exceptionally kind and sweet.
Yes, all this is enough to confirm that our country has indeed changed a lot.
Regardless of culture or economy, what should be restored should be restored, and what should be run forward should start running.
Don't doubt our future at all. This momentum of openness has just begun, and it has inertia.
Policies can only become more liberal and open, and life will get better and better.
In 1981, we will still be marching forward on the road of reform and opening up.
If anyone still doubts this, let’s take a final look at the policies introduced in January.
On New Year's Day, the "Degree Regulations" officially came into effect.
Regulations stipulate that my country's academic degrees are divided into three levels: bachelor's degree, master's degree, and doctoral degree.
This has put our country's degree system on the right track.
On January 7, the air route from Beijing to New York was opened.
This is the first national civil aviation route to North America.
On January 13, the higher authorities approved the Ministry of Education’s “Report on the Trial Measures for Self-Study Examinations in Higher Education.”
It was decided to trial the "Method" first in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Liaoning and Liaoning.
On January 14, the State Council promulgated the "Interim Regulations on Self-Financed Study Abroad", which completely opened up the road to study abroad.
Not only has there been a craze for going abroad in China, but the TOEFL exam has also heated up.
On January 16, the State Council passed the "Treasury Securities Regulations."
It was decided to start issuing treasury bills to the public from 1981.
No matter what happens, it shows that all of us are moving forward with the country.
Our people have more power to choose and direction of struggle.
Of course, let's tell the truth.
Having too many choices is not entirely without side effects, at least people will incur more and more choice costs.
This includes not only money, energy, time, and sometimes what is given or given up, but also human emotions and other opportunities.
Therefore, even if they achieve their goals, many people may not gain as much as they lose.
I am even less sure that what I have made is the most correct choice.
This is probably a kind of helplessness that is completely unsolvable in life.
However, there is really a special case in the world that is immune to this kind of trouble, and that is Ning Weimin.
As a unique time-traveling superman, even the "great man" who manages the national destiny cannot compare with him in this regard.
And precisely because I can see the future evolution, I know what I want to do, what I want, what I can do, and what I should do.
Ning Weimin had no psychological burden and lived happily.
It means you can feel comfortable and focus on your job.
On the one hand, he was elusive and lived the life of a second-rate dealer.
In addition, he also manages big and small things for his family and neighbors, which means he enjoys three kinds of life pleasures at the same time.
Although he is so busy, through reasonable planning, he can handle all aspects of life properly.
Not only was there no flaw at all, but there was good news everywhere.
What? Don’t believe it?
Then take a look.
In the new year, he first helped the Luo family a lot, making the Luo family owe him another favor.
What's going on?
Isn’t it because of the Luo family’s baby bump?
The eldest grandson of the Luo family is named Robin.
This name was chosen casually by Ning Weimin when the Luo family consulted the neighbors in the courtyard before registering at the police station.
I bet he was thinking of Batman's assistant and made a verbal joke.
Unexpectedly, Luo Guangsheng, the eldest son of the Luo family, also thought of Robin Hood.
I immediately said yes as soon as I heard it. The name is foreign, heroic, and easy to remember.
In this way, it was unanimously approved by the Luo family.
Now that he has a large size, the child’s nickname is even more amazing, called Pan’er.
Because it was given by Mr. Kangshu Dekang.
The old man said that the compass is the compass of life.
The child is called this name, which means that he has a clear direction in life and will not take the wrong path.
This explanation not only made the Luo family happy to accept it.
Even other people in the courtyard found it interesting, pleasant to hear, and meaningful.
It's just a pity that little Pan'er, the future pillar of the country, has a bright reputation, but his fate is a little unlucky.
Because at the time he was born, the time for the baby to be with his mother was really limited, and the maternity leave was only fifty-six days.
That's all a mother's rights are.
Miao Yujuan, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Luo family, did not have much opportunity to breastfeed her children.
Coincidentally, it was during this period that the poet Zhao Kai wrote a poem called "The Fifty-seventh Dawn", which vividly described this dilemma of life.
The work tells the story of a female textile worker who went to work at dawn on the fifty-seventh day after taking fifty-six days of maternity leave.
"A mother and a stroller form a moving family."
From then on, the female worker had to push the stroller to get off work every day, and many warm family plans had to be made on the windy and snowy road. In this difficult life, what the female worker kept in mind was her husband who worked on an ocean-going freighter. Exhortation.
"Material things make people fed and clothed, and spirit makes people firm."
Needless to say, the content of the poem makes people feel solemn and harsh at the same time.
But what is even more unexpected is that it is not easy to solve practical problems by ordering milk.
Although infants, young children, the elderly, and patients are required to receive milk supply, the number is limited, with a maximum of two bottles of milk per child.
Moreover, the logistics and transportation methods were backward at that time, and the time could not be guaranteed.
But boys have big appetites, and fresh milk is especially easy to spoil.
Therefore, sometimes when the milk is brought back from the station, it is inevitable that the milk will solidify and become rancid because the delay is too long on the same day, and because refrigerators are not yet widely available.
Pan'er is hungry and can only drink some rice and rice porridge. Why not cry every day? It's hard to gain weight.
Although Luo Guangsheng's job has advantages, he can often get some condensed milk for his son from the pastry factory.
My neighbor Aunt Mi can also help me get some limited-edition baby powder from the grocery store.
But this child couldn't digest it after eating it. He either vomited or had diarrhea.
So the Luo family was worried. Even the old couple and the young couple were all facing a lawsuit, and they were frowning.
Fortunately, Ning Weimin came to help and got milk powder for the Luo family from the Friendship Store.
Although it is probably from Sanlu, the quality is still passable these days.
Just like that, thanks to him, the Luo family finally no longer had to worry about their children drinking milk.
Pan'er also grew stronger day by day and became one of the happier children this year.
Needless to say, I solved this problem for the Luo family.
Not only were the Luo family father and son grateful to Ning Weimin, Aunt Luo and Miao Yujuan sealed their mouths from then on.
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law never joked about Ning Weimin and Mi Xiaoran in private.
This is also a case of cannibalism and short-tonguedness.
