As for the "dance craze", it mainly stems from the New Year's Eve dance held in the Great Hall of the People, which gave young people a taste of physical freedom and the beginning of the lifting of the dance ban.
So since the Spring Festival, various universities have taken the lead in holding various social dances.
At that time, holding social dances on university campuses became a major activity of the student union. On many occasions, one could hear lively conversations about exchanging experiences and discussing dance skills.
Outside of universities, many units have gradually begun to hold weekend or holiday dances under the organization of labor unions.
In this way, ballroom dancing soon became the most popular leisure activity in society as a whole.
People hold dance parties in canteens, conference rooms, and closed vegetable markets. Even on ordinary days, they will spontaneously gather and dance in public places such as parks, officialdoms, restaurants, and streets.
For a time, the deafening cheerful music, countless men and women dancing to the music, and the flying dust became a major spectacle in the capital.
This generation of die-hard children's dance fans should be the most fundamental source of the enduring popularity of today's "square dance".
Of course, without the student union and labor union, dances organized by people spontaneously will inevitably cause some social problems.
For example, every public place where dancing is possible will attract a large number of spectators.
But the young people refused to disperse easily even if they danced late into the night. They violated the system, destroyed public properties, cultural relics, green spaces, and flower beds. They acted obscenely, spoke rudely, and often got into fights due to verbal or physical collisions with each other.
All this has brought many problems and hidden dangers to social security.
In addition, because most of the dancing girls are fashionable and beautiful, it also arouses widespread concerns about the stability of marriages and families.
Therefore, dressing fashionably has become synonymous with gangsters, and some people are even worried that it will cause issues of male and female style or the issue of third party interference.
Of course, it cannot be denied that such worries are unreasonable at all. At least the "family dance" held by the cadres' children is not just as simple as dancing.
There are many blind and ignorant girls who are brought to this kind of "dance" and "slip".
In addition, a group of girls with more "avant-garde" life concepts have flocked to foreign-related dance halls, actively and accurately following the dance steps of foreign men.
This not only contributed to the earliest batch of foreign-related marriages after the "movement", but many girls also became people who made money by selling their bodies.
This is just like how Portuguese businessmen brought "bayberry sore" to the Flower City in 1505. An incurable disease also began to be introduced into the Republic. It was very harmful.
In short, open up! Let go! Let the good and the bad come!
Regardless of whether our people are prepared or not, the all-round huge changes are indeed irresistible and irreversible.
In such a social situation, it is difficult for Hong Yanwu to avoid being surrounded by these "fashions".
It's just that he has never cared about whether these "new things" are pros or cons. He only knows that all these are inevitable for social development and transformation.
As for what he really cares about, it is how to make up for the feeling of neglect caused by being busy with the old house during this period.
Therefore, at his request, a pair of beige and a blue-gray "weilai" hand-made by "Tailor Su" became the best "apology" gift.
Then, in the "open-air dance hall" of "Beihai Park", Hong Yanwu danced with "Tang Xin'er", who was wearing a dark red "cashmere" turtleneck sweater and a beige "slightly raised" lower body, and attracted countless eyeballs at once.
A big hit.
If it hadn't been for the fact that four or five lusty, bold, and careless boys "Fange" appeared out of nowhere later, which completely ruined "Tang Xin'er's" interest, she would have never wanted to come back from this day.
Otherwise, "Tang Xin'er" who dances "very wildly", "very gracefully", "very sassy" and "very loudly", and Hong Yanwu who is "very good at holding dragons", just need to come back once or twice.
They will definitely become the well-known "Open-air Dancing Queen" and "Beihai Dana" in "Beihai Park".
But despite this, spring will never be let down. After all, this is a refreshing season, and Hong Yanwu and "Tang Xin'er" have more ways to entertain themselves.
For example, after watching the photography exhibition "Nature, Society, People", two people who were deeply moved also enthusiastically bought an imported camera and prepared to take photos on a trip.
After discussion, they planned that the first stop was to take Aunt Bao and Chen Liquan with them to Badaling to "climb the Great Wall".
Hong Yanwu made complete preparations. He bought several films and prepared a sumptuous picnic, beer, soda, canned food, fruits, roast duck, beef with sauce, sausages, bread... everything.
In addition, because the journey was too far, he went to the "Capital Automobile Service Company" in advance and bought a "Huhai" brand car for 25 yuan.
When it was his and Chen Liquan's day off, at eight o'clock in the morning, the driver drove over as scheduled. Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan took their things and got into the car, and then went to pick up "Tang Xin'er" and "Aunt Bao" who had come to the hospital specially.
.Five people in a car, heading north.
It was a clear day with warm sunshine. There was a gentle breeze on Badaling Mountain and there were a lot of tourists. Everyone was very interested.
And because the newly purchased camera was the latest product "Canon AF35M" just released that year, it was the world's first lens-shutter 35mm autofocus camera.
Therefore, even a "sugarheart" who has no understanding of photography technology can successfully act as a "famous photographer".
This made her so excited that during the climb up the Great Wall, she kept jumping up and down taking photos of the other three people, laughing and joking, and kept busy.
After standing at the highest point of Badaling and looking far into the distance, Hong Yanwu asked others to help them take several group photos.
After that, Hong Yanwu took many mother-daughter photos for "Tang Xin'er" and "Auntie Bao" alone, and "Tang Xin'er" also took many "brother photos" for Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan.
It was not until one o'clock in the afternoon that they found a corner facing the sun with indescribable joy, spread out the plastic sheet, took out food and drinks, and had a delicious picnic.
After they had rested enough, they slowly walked back to the foot of the Great Wall. At about four o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived at the parking lot at the foot of the mountain, got into the "Huhai" brand car again and drove all the way back.
Because "Auntie Bao" said she was exhausted and really didn't want to go out to eat, Hong Yanwu delivered her "Tang Xin'er" directly to her doorstep.
All in all, we had a great time picking up and dropping off cars on this day. It caught the eyes of the neighbors and naturally made them very envious.
However, Hong Yanwu and "Tang Xin'er" wanted to have a one-on-one date, so their next plan to live in a "two-person world" had to be terminated.
Because the leader of "Old Zhengxing" had a talk with "Aunt Bao" and actually told her that the "application to return to Shanghai" she had submitted for a long time had finally been approved by her superiors.
The company leaders have considered that she has been working in Beijing for more than 20 years and can only go back to Shanghai to see her husband and daughter once a year for family leave, so they have decided to transfer another pastry chef from Shanghai to Beijing to take over her job. When the work is finished
On May Day, she can return to Shanghai to reunite with her family.
To be honest, looking at it now, this grace seems almost like a joke, and it is really not the ruthless leadership of "Aunt Bao".
Because couples living apart for many years was a unique marriage pattern in our country.
How many people's marriages are in name only, and how many people contribute their meager wages to the railways to visit relatives. Many families have experienced this situation deeply.
Regarding this problem, in the past, dedication was generally ignored.
According to the national policies at the time, the relationship between household registration and grain and oil completely blocked the flow of people. If one party has a rural household registration, it is even less possible to move into the city.
As a separated couple living in two places who both eat commercial food, the only thing you can hope for is that someone can switch with you, but this is extremely difficult and the probability is very small.
Therefore, many couples at that time lived in two places and even worked together until retirement. The two of them lived almost single lives throughout their lives.
But now that the leader has been able to solve the problem for "Auntie Bao" that she herself had no hope for, he is really a good official who understands the sentiments of the people.
Aunt Bao naturally cried with joy when she heard the news. That day she ran to the telegraph building and sent a telegram to inform the Shanghai side. Then she began to pack her things intensively and slowly packed her luggage.
But this sudden news made "Tang Xin'er" feel sad. She was really reluctant to let her godmother leave.
In fact, since "Tang Xin'er" was nine years old, "Sister Agou" and "Auntie Bao" have become "Tang Xin'er"'s only source of emotional warmth.
Now that "Sister Agou" has passed away, for the past seven years, "Tang Xin'er" and "Auntie Bao" have been dependent on each other, and their relationship is even better than a real mother-daughter relationship.
If she hadn't known Hong Yanwu, "Tang Xin'er" might still go to Shanghai with "Aunt Bao". But that's not possible now.
"Tang Xin'er" has become Hong Yanwu's, and is destined to start a family in the capital. I'm afraid it will be difficult for mother and daughter to see each other again after this separation.
"Auntie Bao" is very understanding of "Tang Xin'er's" mood. Although she is also reluctant to give up, she can only give her good advice.
"Nanny, you have grown up. Xiao Wu has ideas, knows how to do things, and treats you well. In my opinion, he is a reliable person. I think you will be able to live a good life in the future, without me.
I don’t have to worry about you anymore. Don’t be sad. In fact, my foster mother is just going home, and we won’t see each other forever. If you miss me, just write a letter or call me. If that doesn’t work, you can also
Come to Shanghai to see me. By the way, I must attend your wedding. After you and Xiao Wu get married, come to Shanghai to play. I will take you to see the place where 'Sister Agou' was so majestic.
…”
After saying these words, "Aunt Bao" also called Hong Yanwu and asked him in front of him to promise that he would definitely make "Tang Xin'er" happy. She said that if he made "Tang Xin'er" feel wronged
, but I don’t rely on it.
Facing "Auntie Bao"'s care and support like a biological mother, "Tang Xin'er" couldn't help but lie in her arms and cry loudly.
But after crying this time, "Tang Xin'er" finally figured it out.
There is no banquet in life that lasts forever, and even biological parents cannot accompany their children for a lifetime.
What's more, "Aunt Bao" also has her own family and her own biological daughter. Because of "Sister Agou", she is able to enjoy the maternal love of "Aunt Bao" for more than ten years, which is already a great blessing.
Now, it's time to return "Auntie Treasure" to her biological daughter.
So after "Tang Xin'er" regained her mood, she told Hong Yanwu that she would not go anywhere until "Aunt Bao" returned to Shanghai, and would stay with her godmother every day.
Hong Yanwu could naturally understand that the mother and daughter wanted to be alone. Before leaving, he left a message saying that he wanted to say hello to him if he wanted anything, did any strenuous work, or was going out.
Unexpectedly, when "Tang Xin'er" sent him out, his tears had not been wiped away, but he smiled mischievously.
"We don't need you here, so don't worry about it these days. I'm really sorry for you at home. I really can't go on May Day, so please put in a good word for me..."
"Ah?" Hong Yanwu was dumbfounded.
Only then did he realize that this matter had given "Tang Xin'er" another reason to delay.
This girl has some intentions...
