Chapter 286
Yang Rui and Jing Yulan rode their bicycles and saw wherever they went, which was very cool.
As long as it is not time to commute, the bicycles on the road will not be congested. Cycling on the spacious street can also be called relaxed and happy.
Jing Yulan's long hair is floating, sometimes in front and sometimes in the back, laughter and joy are endless, which makes Yang Rui surrounded by an atmosphere called happiness.
Even if the furniture you see is unsightly, Yang Rui rarely feels that he doesn't waste time.
He is a person who is more efficient. When he posted small advertisements, he would try his best to post more and more widespread, and even more so when buying things.
However, because I was following Jing Yulan, even if I was wandering around, there was a beauty on my side, which made it seem more meaningful to wander around.
"How is this?" Jing Yulan pointed to a bookcase.
"It's okay." Yang Rui nodded his head lightly, pointed to the side again, and said, "I think that one is better."
Jing Yulan glanced at the side, glanced at the label again, bent her eyebrows and said, "It's too expensive."
"Look at it first."
"The last few are all in a batch, and there are cheap ones." The few salesmen in the furniture store did not have any straight eyebrows. Perhaps because the two were too beautiful, she couldn't tell the age of them, so she asked, "I'm going to get married. Actually, just make a bookcase by myself. The store is expensive for 10 or 20 yuan. You young people buy a sofa that is very good, like this kind of cloth, which is fashionable and easy to use..."
Jing Yulan finally blushed and came out of the furniture store, bought a dining table and a bookcase, and agreed on the delivery time and location.
"It's so good." Jing Yulan stood on the street, took a deep breath, and then said embarrassedly.
"You haven't seen a real salesperson yet." Yang Rui didn't think so, but looked at Jing Yulan's funny look and asked, "Continue to go shopping?"
Jing Yulan adjusted her mood and said, "I haven't bought the bed. Do you look down on the one I just now?"
"Look for it again." Yang Rui was quite interested in shopping.
Compared with furniture 30 years later, today's furniture will look more Chinese in terms of practicality and style. In other words, it lacks fashion elements and is not fashionable enough.
However, in Yang Rui's opinion, there is nothing wrong with Chinese furniture. In the 1980s, China opened its doors again and started a new round of intersections of things and things. The degree of intersection was not deep, so Chinese craftsmen learned foreign things. This kept the Chinese elements relatively pure and the foreign elements selected were also superficial. But from another perspective, this kind of low-key, practical, simple and artistic furniture is actually very charming.
Especially some well-made furniture, they often refer to classic foreign designs, integrate the craftsmanship of domestic craftsmen, and combine modern equipment and styles, and actually have the feeling of high-end furniture from later generations.
In terms of material, furniture in the 1980s was even better.
After Yang Rui walked around, he almost found furniture made of non-pure wood. In other words, furniture made of non-pure wood will be listed separately to show its uniqueness and is very small in number.
Although the material of pure wood is slightly inferior in many physical properties, in terms of the properties of furniture itself, people still pursue it 30 years later, but the price is too expensive to pursue it.
As for the requirements for the thickness, fineness, density and other requirements of pure wood, the gap is even greater in thirty years. Even if the price is higher than that of furniture stores, you can even buy old red sandalwood furniture in places like Panjiayuan. If it weren't for the 60-square-meter house that could not be placed in the old-fashioned furniture, Yang Rui would have gone straight to it.
Of course, for investment purposes, it was still too early to buy rosewood in 1983. Their price surge began in the 1990s. In the mid-to-late 1990s, when rosewood on the market was collected, it began to soar. Moreover, compared with house prices that started almost at the same time, stamps that started earlier, and stock market madness for several generations, the liquidity and return rate of rosewood were not satisfactory, and it cannot be said to be the best investment model.
For practical reasons, Yang Rui accompanied Jing Yulan to the store.
Not far behind him, Hao Yu followed the two silently.
Hao Yu didn't mean to follow them. She was just in a bad mood, so she just got off work and went shopping early.
She didn't expect to meet Yang Rui and Jing Yulan on the street.
Once you meet, it is difficult to find these two people.
Yang Rui and Jing Yulan are both taller than ordinary people, and their body shapes are even more beautiful and attractive. Even if they are just behind, they are unforgettable at first sight.
Hao Yu somehow followed.
That may be curious, maybe boring, or maybe it is a task that the director forced to assign...
Hao Yu also watched Yang Rui and Jing Yulan buy furniture while talking and laughing, and finally bought a refrigerator, washing machine and TV.
Student Hao Yu was undoubtedly shocked!
Nowadays, movies talk about hardships and simplicity. The scenes of the evil capitalism waste money will be cut off with one knife, so ordinary people cannot see how capitalists spend money.
Hao Yu only remembered that it took half a year for her cousin to buy furniture. They started buying furniture before marriage and continued until after marriage. They almost bought it when they had enough money and went shopping after paying their wages. They were very happy.
As for electrical appliances, ordinary people buy a few lamps and a sewing machine when they get married. Even if the appliances are complete, they will try to buy a TV and washing machine only if the conditions are better, and even fewer ones buy a refrigerator.
It is difficult to get electrical vouchers just by TV coupons. Some units only give married employees, and the other unit requires the other unit to issue certificates that the electrical vouchers have not been issued.
Yang Rui used foreign exchange coupons to buy electrical appliances, and he also bought foreign electrical appliances, which was more than one-third more expensive than buying abroad.
There is no way to do this. Even if Jing Yulan can get a coupon, she will never get three. For Yang Rui, it would be fine if she didn’t have a TV, and if she didn’t have a refrigerator and a washing machine, she would suffer.
As for Yang Rui, the price of 800 yuan for a TV is really not a psychological endurance. He was also a man who had experienced the beginning of a business back then, and he persisted for a long time in the painful time of spending money like flowing water. Now he enjoys the happy time of spending money like flowing water, and has no burden at all.
Hao Yu was burdened just because he saw it.
On the one hand, she envied Jing Yulan's beauty and generousness, and on the other hand, she was amazed at the abundant capital in Yang Rui's hands. If she bought so much money, the people in the institute would not have to share it evenly. Not only would they not have to share it evenly this year, but they might save it next year. In this way, they would have to spend more than a dozen yuan in cash every month.
If it weren't for being too thin-skinned, Hao Yu would have wanted to rush up and meet him by chance now.
It soon became dark. Yang Rui, under Jing Yulan's little thoughts, sent her home and returned to the dormitory by herself.
When he returned to his room, the 203 dormitory talk had just begun.
"Yang Rui is back." Mao Qiming, who was on the upper bunk, poked his head out of the window, swept Yang Rui up and down, and said, "The library has closed long ago and I don't have anything on my hands. What are you doing?"
"Stroll around." Yang Rui smiled and took off his shirt, first sorted out the things for class tomorrow, looked around, and asked, "Are Qiu Xia and Cai Guinong here?"
"Qiu Xia went to the study room and it will probably take one or two o'clock to come back. Lao Cai went to the laboratory. Don't you know?" Mao Qiming is good at exploring the school and knows people in every department, and is the most informed.
Yang Rui shook his head and said, "I know that Qiu Xia loves to go to self-study, Lao Cai has gone to the laboratory."
"I don't know what laboratory they have in the power department. It's just two days ago. Tell me, Lao Cai's life is so good. He entered the laboratory in his freshman year." Mao Qiming sighed. He was really envious because the current allocation of college students is controlled by the school, and the school's allocation principle is to follow the grades and the location of the household registration. Simply put, good students are assigned to good units first, and try to make decisions according to the students' wishes.
Of course, the student volunteers assigned to graduation are relatively vague, and the good and bad units are also relatively vague, so there is a relatively large room for transfer, but the overall idea will not change. For families without power, learning is the only way to get a good distribution.
Working in the laboratory means that your current grades and learning attitude are recognized by a certain or multiple teachers. In some departments, entering the laboratory requires discussion, and the result is that you will take advantage of the distribution.
For college students in Beijing, the biggest cheaper one is to stay in Beijing to work.
If a Peking University student stays in Beijing, even if he does not go to a super-award unit like the Military Commission of the State Council, the ministries and commissions and directly affiliated institutions will still be able to be placed under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice. However, if he cannot stay in Beijing, no matter how strong he is, he will be the provincial party committee of a certain province, and the gap is still quite large.
Hou Bing, who was a little shy, also turned over and sighed: "Old Cai is really lucky. Alas, they are also motivated by the laboratory. When will we learn mathematics be the first?"
"How good is mathematics? Just like Chen Jingrun, you can support the sky alone." Mao Qiming said with a smile.
Hou Bing smiled bitterly: "We are also learning calculus. The teacher said that when we graduate, we should practice calculus calculations like four operations. Even if we get out of the way, there are topology, differential geometry, numerical algebra, probability theory, complex variable functions... In short, learning from our predecessors is enough to learn until we die, let alone doing research."
"No way."
"Why can't it be? Dong Hao from our department finished his calculus when he entered school. Now he doesn't have to listen to classes anymore. He goes to the teacher's office to have a small meal every day. When he graduates from college, he might have finished everything he should learn. We are still learning what he taught himself back then..." Hou Bing's voice was depressed, and he was indeed hit.
Dong Zhicheng showed his big head from above at this time and said, "So what if you have learned calculus by yourself? Our top scorer in the college entrance examination is Yang Rui."
"I don't have the spirit of self-taught calculus." Yang Rui waved his hand quickly. Mathematics is a gift for talent, and his brains are idle. He has insufficient level. He will lose his mind after chatting with a high-level mathematician for half an hour.
Hou Bing cheered up and said, "Yang Rui, I have to criticize you. You have been through so much. Your grades are so good and your foundation is so good. You should actively join the teacher's laboratory and stop delaying. Now that the semester is halfway through, if you delay, the freshmen will be admitted next year."
"Old Hou's words are really. Yang Rui, you don't know yet. Xu Anqing from your department has also entered the laboratory. He is the second in our college entrance examination this year, and he is also very good." Mao Qiming said another message.
"I'll think about it again." Yang Rui smiled.
Mao Qiming said strangely: "What do you think?"
"You have to think of a research direction." Yang Rui wanted to completely separate research on campus and off-campus. Only in this way can the experiments on campus be interfered with the experiments on campus. If the instruments in the laboratory on campus are two systems outside the school, it is impossible to say that the experiments on campus are related to the experiments on campus.
Yang Rui thought about it and slowly fell asleep.
