Mr. Lu nodded: "This matter needs to be done immediately."
"However, there is no rush now, let's eat first. Qiqi and Mingming are our guests, don't neglect them."
"Yes, yes, let's eat first." Mother Lu quickly greeted everyone, "You must be hungry. I made your favorite braised pork today."
Zhu Qiqi and Song Mingming quickly said that they were not hungry, but Lu's mother pulled them to sit down without saying anything.
The steaming hot meals were served on the table, including braised pork, winter melon and pork ribs soup, mapo tofu, spicy rabbit head...
The family sat together, but the atmosphere was a bit depressing.
Mr. Lu picked up a piece of braised pork and felt deeply moved. It had been a long time since he had encountered such a bad thing. He was actually being bullied by the other party.
"Grandpa, don't be angry." Lu Shiyan comforted him, "I will take care of this matter."
Mr. Lu nodded and turned his gaze to Zhu Qiqi and Song Mingming, "Qiqi, Mingming, don't be restrained, eat more."
"Thank you, Grandpa." Zhu Qiqi and Song Mingming responded obediently.
Mr. Lu took a sip of the wine, and the alcohol took effect, and he started to lose control of his mouth.
They chatted about everything, and he kept muttering about how things would change in a few days, and that they would be able to do business, contract production to households, and implement the household contract responsibility system.
"Dad, what are you talking about?" asked Mother Lu in confusion.
No one at the table could understand what was being said.
Father Lu asked, "Dad, what are you talking about? I understand every word, but when you put them together, I don't understand a single word."
"Yes, Grandpa, doing business?" Lu Shiyan was also puzzled. How could this be possible? The country clearly prohibited transactions between individuals.
this……
Gu Qingcheng curled the corners of her lips, looking as if she had expected this. She had just calculated it.
It is now October, and there are still two months before the reform and opening up. Mr. Lu is the commander, so his connections are naturally not to be underestimated. It is also normal for him to get some information in advance.
"Dad," Mother Lu put down her chopsticks and asked, "Can you be more specific?"
Mr. Lu's eyes were deep, as if he had penetrated time and space and saw the future. "I heard that something big is brewing up there. They say they want to reform and open up."
"Reform and Opening-up?" The Lu family was stunned. This term was still very unfamiliar to them.
"Yes," Mr. Lu nodded, "It is said that we should open the country to foreign investment and develop the economy."
"Is this true?" Lu Shiyan couldn't believe it. "This is a big deal!"
"It's absolutely true," Mr. Lu said affirmatively, "I just got the news these two days, and it's very reliable."
"Then...then won't it be..." Mother Lu was so excited that she was a little incoherent, "Won't everyone's life get better and better?"
Mr. Lu smiled and nodded: "Yes, the days to come will get better and better."
He raised his glass and said to everyone: "Come on, cheers to a better life in the future!"
"Cheers!" Everyone raised their glasses, with happy smiles on their faces.
Gu Qingcheng looked at the scene in front of him, his heart filled with hope.
Reform and opening up is a new era, an era full of hope.
In this era, everything is possible.
However, there were still many people who, in the early days of reform and opening up, did not dare to do business for fear of losing all their money.
If you can successfully seize the opportunities of the times, you will definitely soar to success.
…
Time flies, and as expected, in December 1978, the central government issued a document.
The state allows the existence of individual economy and is constantly developing in the direction of a socialist market economy.
Of course, it was only allowed at the time, and many people were waiting and watching. It was not until 1984 that the central government issued a more complete document, "Decision on Economic System Reform."
This decision proposed that the socialist economy is a planned commodity economy, which encourages various economic elements to participate in market competition and commercial operations.
Many people only relaxed and started doing business at this time.
This can be said to be a groundbreaking move.
However, in Gu Qingcheng's opinion, opportunities must be seized first.
Such a large market is simply a godsend.
But then again, at this moment.
Fudan University girls' dormitory.
Gu Qingcheng and her classmates studied finance, so the news of reform and opening up was naturally closely related to their major. When they heard that such a thing had actually happened, their dormitory was in an uproar.
"Oh my God! Is reform and opening up really happening?!" Song Mingming covered his mouth, his eyes wide open, and repeated what was said on the radio in disbelief.
Zhu Qiqi nodded vigorously, her jaw almost dropping: "That's right! Didn't we hear Mr. Lu mention it when we went to the Lu family before? I thought he was just joking at the time, but I didn't expect it to be true!"
Song Mingming said: "Now that I think about it, it's normal. After all, he is the commander!"
"That's right, I have more information than anyone else!"
Zhu Qiqi agreed with a proud expression on his face. If this were the case after the reform and opening up, there would definitely be a large demand for their professional talents.
At first I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to find a good job.
It's stable now.
Mu Hanmei was sitting on the edge of the bed, sewing clothes. The needle suddenly poked her finger.
"Hiss..." She took a breath and said sourly, "Some people should stop caring about national affairs and focus on their studies first. They just cling to others and try to climb the social ladder all day long."
