Return To 1977 Chapter 449: Suddenly
lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!
As for the "dance craze", it mainly originated from the New Year's Eve dance held in the Great Hall of the People, which gave young people a taste of physical liberation and the beginning of the lifting of the dance ban.
Since the Spring Festival, various universities have taken the lead in holding various social dances.
At that time, on the university campus, holding social dances became a major activity of the student union. On many occasions, lively conversations about exchanging experiences and discussing dance techniques can be heard.
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 held dance parties in canteens, in conference rooms, and in closed vegetable markets. Even on ordinary days, they will spontaneously gather and dance in public places such as parks, squares, restaurants, streets and alleys.
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.
Even if the young people dance late into the night, they refuse to disperse easily. They violate the system and destroy public properties, cultural relics, green spaces, and flower beds. They act obscenely and speak rudely. They often get into fights due to verbal or physical collisions with each other.
All of 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.
As a result, dressing fashionably has become synonymous with gangsters, and some people are even worried that it will lead to issues of male and female style or the issue of third party intervention.
Of course, it cannot be denied that such worries are unreasonable. 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, there are also a group of girls with more "avant-garde" life concepts who 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 merchants brought "bayberry sore" to the Flower City in 1505. An incurable disease also began to be introduced into the Republic. The poison is widespread.
In short, open! open! Come the good and the bad!
Whether our people are prepared or not, the all-round huge changes are indeed irresistible and irreversible.
In such a social state, it is also 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 of time.
So, at his request, a pair of beige and a blue-gray "weila" handmade by "Tailor Su" became the best "apology" gift.
Following, 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 flared" lower body. He immediately attracted countless Eyeballs, a big show off.
If it hadn’t been for the fact that four or five lusty, bold, and careless boys “Fange” popped up out of nowhere later, completely ruining “Tang Xin’er’s” interest, she would have never wanted to come back from that 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", as long as they do that again 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 there are more ways for Hong Yanwu and "Tang Xin'er" to spend their time.
For example, after watching the photography exhibition "Nature, Society, People", the two people who were deeply moved also enthusiastically bought an imported camera to prepare for traveling and taking photos.
After discussion, they planned to take Aunt Bao and Chen Liquan with them to Badaling to "climb the Great Wall" as their first stop.
Hong Yanwu made complete preparations. He bought several films and prepared a sumptuous picnic, including beer, soda, canned food, fruits, roast duck, sauced beef, sausages, bread... everything.
In addition, because the journey was too far, he went to the "Capital Auto Service Company" in advance and bought a "Shanghai" brand car for 25 yuan.
On the day he and Chen Liquan had a rest day, at eight o'clock in the morning, the driver drove there 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 specially retired. There were five people in a car, heading north.
The weather was clear on this day, the sun was warm, the breeze was blowing on Badaling, and there were like clouds of tourists. Keep everyone interested.
And because the newly purchased camera is the latest product "Canon AF35M" that was just released that year, it is the world's first lens-shutter 35mm autofocus camera.
So even a "sugarheart" who doesn't know anything about photography can successfully act as a "famous photographer".
This made her so excited. While climbing the Great Wall, she kept jumping up and down to take photos of the other three people, laughing and joking, and kept busy.
Wait until you stand at the highest point of Badaling and look far into the distance. Hong Yanwu also asked others to take several group photos for them.
After that, Hong Yanwu took many mother-daughter photos of "Tang Xin'er" and "Aunt Bao" alone, and "Tang Xin'er" also took many "brother photos" of Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan.
It wasn't 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.
When you have rested enough, slowly walk back to the foot of the Great Wall. About four o'clock in the afternoon. They came to the parking lot at the foot of the mountain, got into the "Huhai" brand car again and drove all the way back.
Because "Aunt Bao" said that she was exhausted and really didn't want to go out to eat. Hong Yanwu delivered her "sugar heart" directly to his doorstep.
In short, this day, we had a lot of fun with the car picking up and dropping off. It fell in the eyes of the neighbors and naturally made them envious.
However, Hong Yanwu and "Tang Xin'er" wanted to have a one-on-one date, so their next plan to live in a "world of two" had to be terminated.
Because the leader of "Old Zhengxing" had a talk with "Aunt Bao". He 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 considered that she had been working in Beijing for more than 20 years and could only go back to Shanghai to see her husband and daughter once a year for family leave, so they decided to transfer another pastry chef from Shanghai to Beijing to take over her job. After finishing her busy work 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 have been separated for many years, it 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 and back. Many families have experienced this situation deeply.
For this problem, in the past, dedication was generally ignored.
According to the national policies at the time, the relationship between household registration and food and oil completely blocked the flow of people. If one party has a rural household registration, it is even less likely to move to the city.
The only thing that a separated couple living in two places who both eat commercial food can hope for is someone to swap with you, but this is extremely difficult and the probability is very small.
So this led to many couples living in two places at that time and even working together until retirement. The two of them have been single almost all their lives.
Now that the leader can solve this problem for "Auntie Bao" that she herself has no hope for, then 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, I ran to the telegraph building and sent a telegram to inform the Shanghai side. Then I started packing my things intensively and slowly packing my 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 seven years, "Tang Xin'er" and "Auntie Bao" have been dependent on each other, and their relationship is even better than that of a real mother and daughter.
If she hadn't known Hong Yanwu, "Tang Xin'er" might have gone to Shanghai with "Aunt Bao". But not anymore.
"Tang Xin'er" has become Hong Yanwu's person 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 goodbye.
"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. There is no need for me to worry about you anymore. Don't be sad. In fact, the foster mother is just going home. We won't see each other forever. If you miss me, just write or call her. 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 have fun. I will take you to see 'Sister Agou' back then. A majestic place..."
After saying these words, "Aunt Bao" called Hong Yanwu over and asked him to promise her in front of him that he would definitely make "Tang Xin'er" happy. He said that if "Tang Xin'er" was wronged, he would not obey.
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, "Auntie Bao" also has her own family and her own biological daughter. Because of "Sister Agou", she has been able to enjoy the maternal love of "Auntie 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. On the other hand, I'm very sorry for you at home. I really can't go on May Day, so please say a good word to me... …”
"Huh?" 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...
