Since 1983

Daju Hutong, the studio.

Xu Fei looked helplessly at the crew. There were more than 30 crew members, and five of them asked for leave, whether they were sick or had something to do, and they all knew why they were there.

I barely started working, but I didn't pay attention when I came, and I made low-level mistakes several times.

"Fatty Shi concentrates, why is he so careless?"

"Let's do it again, ready to..."

"Stop!"

He interrupted the filming and raised the loudspeaker, "I know that there is a lot of panic outside now, but we should have confidence in the country. The situation is only temporary, and we must be steady, especially us literary and art workers, who have firm beliefs..."

Seeing that everyone couldn't listen, he simply gave up, "Forget it, let's rest today, what do you want to do!"

"Brother Fei is benevolent and righteous!"

"Teacher Xu is righteous!"

As soon as the voice fell, everyone was not at all ambiguous, so they withdrew.

Xu Fei shook his head and had no choice but to go home.

Xidan.

Zhang Guiqin rode a bicycle to North Street, and felt that the atmosphere was not right. It was very deserted, many shops were not open, and pedestrians on the street were in a hurry.

She opened the store door and cleaned up. Usually at eight o'clock, the waiter should have arrived, but now it's past eight o'clock and there is no sign.

After waiting for a while, Wang Bolin appeared at the door and shouted, "Auntie!"

"Hey, what's the matter with you, why did you come here?"

"I'm asking for a leave of absence, I have to go shopping!"

The girl didn't even enter the door, and seeing the other party's confused face, she said strangely: "You didn't listen to the radio! The red-headed document came down, and what to do to get through the barriers, it said that the money is going to be lost, and it will be waste paper in the future. If you can buy it, hurry up and buy it." , I'm leaving!"

"Hey..."

Zhang Guiqin was baffled, so she hurriedly bought a newspaper, and her heart ached when she saw it.

She ran outside to watch again, the whole street was deserted, even the wedding shop next door was closed. There is a bank not far away, which is the busiest place, with hundreds of people crowding to withdraw money.

Mom panicked instantly, locked the door and rode home.

Not long after arriving at Baihua Hutong, Xiao Xu saw her go back and forth, and asked in surprise, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?"

"Come out with me later, I'll get a passbook first."

Zhang Guiqin strode into the house, came out with a red book in his pocket, and ran into Xu Fei who was coming back.

"Hey, it happens that both of you go, and you can get more."

"Why?"

"Shopping, why are you less informed than me?"

My god!

Xu Fei's head hurts, "Mom, you made a fuss about buying cloth last time, why don't you have a long memory?"

"It's different this time!"

"Why is it different? It's impossible for the country to be at the point of life and death. It will be fine after a while. Besides, what do you buy?"

"Buy what you want."

"If you really want to go, I will really stop you and carry the house directly for you."

"Hey, you unfilial son!"

Zhang Guiqin choked for a long time, and rolled her eyes, "All right, even if you don't want to buy a big one, you have to buy oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. There is no soy sauce at home, so throw you in for cooking?"

"Well……"

Unable to refute, Xu Fei scratched his head, "Then I'll go with you... Take a good look at the house."

"..."

Chen Xiaoxu was inexplicably watching his aunt come back, and inexplicably watching the two of them go out, acting like a psychopath.

But when the mother and daughter went out, they first went to the canteen at the alley and shouted, "Hey, is there any soy sauce?"

Snapped!

The small window was pulled open, revealing a fat face, "Do you think I look like soy sauce? Those grandchildren even snatched away the tank."

So I ran to the next one, and there was nothing.

Along the way, Zhang Guiqin arrived at Wangfujing. Zhang Guiqin was very proud, but as soon as he walked to the store, hey, he was scared back.

The non-staple food store even closed the door, leaving only a crack, and the queue lined up on the road. The person in front stuffed money into it, and stretched out a hand through the crack of the door to deliver the goods.

All kinds of crowding, pushing, and cursing at the back.

The big shopping mall is okay, coming in and out like flowing water. A young man came out with a sofa on his head, triumphant as if he had snatched a trophy.

Another old man was riding a tricycle, and there was a pile of white noodles on the cart, with the whole family guarding him, like a dart.

Two old ladies fought in the street for a ball of wool.

Others brought hundreds of kilograms of salt, hundreds of boxes of matches, and dozens of boxes of washing powder... From straw paper to batteries, from clothing to shoes and hats, from color TVs to refrigerators, ordinary people can't wait to exchange all banknotes for goods, no matter what they own. need or not.

"Didi!"

"boom!"

A public car also drove over, and a few people jumped off to join the queue. There happened to be a TV station filming next to it, and the two sides began to scold each other again.

"Crazy, crazy!"

It was much more spectacular than buying cloth back then, and Zhang Guiqin was dumbfounded for a while.

There are two deep-seated reasons for the so-called price breakthrough and soaring prices: the economy is overheated; the supply of goods is insufficient, but consumer demand is rising.

These two contradictions were not grasped, and the marketization was directly carried out. The consequences can be imagined, and even affected the housing reform policy.

Because in a short period of time, people across the country raised nearly 30 billion in savings, and the country was eager to sell public housing to return funds, making the "prohibition of low-priced sales" issued not long ago become a dead letter.

As a result, the model of rent-raising subsidies died.

Regarding the out-of-control situation, the state held an emergency meeting to explain to the masses.

It is said that the price breakthrough is not to be completed immediately, but in five years or longer; no price adjustment will be introduced in the second half of the year, price management will be strengthened, value-preserving savings will be established, currency issuance will be controlled, and so on.

After these measures were implemented one by one, the rush to buy gradually subsided. In the next few years, the economy contracted even more, which is to pay for this year.

But at this moment, Xu Fei was suddenly motivated when he saw all kinds of scenes that he didn't know whether it was a human comedy or an absurd drama, "Go to another place and take the money first."

The two left Wangfujing, wandered around, and managed to withdraw money, and found a store that was not too damaged.

"Toothbrush, toothpaste, towels, soap, washing powder..."

"Matches, candles, needlework, toilet paper..."

"Soy sauce, vinegar, salt, miso, soybean oil..."

Xu Fei emptied it directly, and piled it up at the door like a hill, full of daily necessities.

Zhang Guiqin was dumbfounded, "Son, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I use it for filming. Let's calculate how much it costs and issue an invoice."

"Uh, you can give me a thousand yuan." The boss didn't bother to count.

Ever since, the two left empty-handed and returned with a full load.

...

That night, he called Liang Zuo and others. Early the next morning, he rode three rounds and went straight to Daju Hutong. His friends were all shocked.

"Teacher Xu, are you crazy?"

"Crazy what crazy, it's for filming."

"That's it, these things..."

"How about it?"

Xu Fei didn't even have to bend down, and picked up a generation of washing powder, "This is a good subject! Let's write a notebook and put it in the play. It's real, is it shocking?"

"Then, when the filming is over?"

"After the filming, I will give you benefits, and it will be the year-end bonus."

have to!

Liang Zuo somewhat understood what this meant, and turned around the hill a few times, revealing an inexplicable smile.

Seeing that several pens had arrived, Xu Fei waved his hand: "The meeting!"
