In 1979, it was spring.
Chen Qiti pulled up his pants and walked out of the public toilet in Menku Hutong, a satisfied smile on his face. He drew a circle in the air.

Because he just took a good **, his bowels were clear and he felt elated. His 19-year-old heart beat powerfully, blood surging through his veins. The unopened sponge in him twitched with the pressure of his abdomen—a long-awaited sensation!
9:00 AM.
After work hours, the hutong was very quiet.
This is a small alleyway, 100 meters long and 3 meters wide. It's unassuming, hidden within the courtyard walls, but 30 years ago, this was a famous street food haven. Fushun Zhai's braised beef, Ruibing Lou's stuffed flatbreads, Kangjia's old tofu, along with Nian Gao Qian, Bao Du Feng, and Baozi Yang, all contributed to making the Dajialang area the most vibrant part of Beijing.
Chen Qi walked a few steps and arrived at the entrance of Building 12. A sign on the door read: Xinhua Bookstore Dormitory.
It used to be where Zhang Henshui lived. There were seven courtyards before and after, which was unusually spacious. Zhang Henshui lived here for 3 years and wrote "The Golden Powder Family". Later, he went to Nanjing, and the courtyard changed hands several times and became a dormitory.
The dormitory, of course, was not tidy.

Chen Qi didn't like this rundown place. With both his parents at work, he stepped inside the house, washed his hands and scrubbed his face. In the mirror with an "Oriental Red" pattern, a young man's reflection stared back.
His hair wasn't the trendy hairstyle of the moment, but rather cut very short, standing up like spikes. His eyes were bright and his lips slightly thin, adding a touch of rebellion to his handsome face. At around 178cm tall, he was considered quite tall for this era.
To what extent

>>> Nicholas Tse is about 165cm, Andy Lau is 169cm, Jacky Cheung is 173cm, and Leon Lai is 179cm. He's definitely the tallest. If you think the other three are quite tall, that's because they always wear custom-made insoles in their shoes...
Even worse than the post-epidemic era.
Many people have a stereotype about this era, that is, studying well, graduating from technical school can be amazing and get assigned jobs...Yes, it was guaranteed job assignments, but the premise is that there were so many positions available.
Up to the countryside movement started in the 1950s, essentially to alleviate the employment pressure brought by the first population boom.
After the wave of humanitarian relief, these young intellectuals returned to the cities, coinciding with a second population peak and resulting in a large number of unemployed youth. These young people, full of vigor but without jobs, spent their days wandering around the cities, engaging in fights and brawls, becoming an extremely unstable factor.
Therefore, settling employment is the top priority for the country this year.
The leaders on stage talked a lot, Chen Qi listened, and in fact, it boiled down to three points:
Allow parents to retire early, with children taking over their positions.
Each government agency and unit can contract a certain number of unemployed youth, who can be hired as long-term temporary workers. It is encouraged that one person's work be done by two people, and three people share meals with five.
Developing a collective ownership economy, opening up opportunities, and relaxing employment conditions.
"Children taking over the family business, temporary workers, slacking off at work, flexible employment... hey, the original source is right here!"
“With the nationwide service industry practically defunct, of course there are job shortages. To revive the service industry!”
"By the late 1990s, there was a third population boom, and universities then expanded their enrollment... It's still simpler in later generations, with live streaming, food delivery, and ride-hailing apps all coming at once."
Chen Qiyi sighed wistfully, thinking of the future. He couldn't help but feel downcast.
"Oh, the short play lost money!"

“As a successful person worth millions, I’m running around this rundown alleyway emptying chamber pots. Where am I supposed to explain myself”

Yes, he is certainly an outsider in this era.
To be honest, he didn't want to come at all. Life in the future is so good, there's WiFi, B station, Douyin, takeout delivery, high-speed rail, and even prostitution - just order it on your phone and it will be delivered nationwide. Even Xiaomi makes cars now, Lei Jun (founder of Xiaomi) personally opens the door for you...
Chen Qi lived over forty years in his previous life. He was a veteran internet user who had been active on BBS since the early days. In his youth, he worked odd jobs and later started his own business. He was a prominent figure on Weibo, with millions of fans across short video platforms like Douyin and Bilibili. He had invested in film and television projects, live-streamed products, and slept with internet celebrities and cosplayers. He had it all: more than enough compared to others but not the best. Most importantly, he never had to work for anyone else.
The journey hasn't been easy, we finally made it through the pandemic, but things haven't been looking good overall. Everyone in the country knows that Jia Ling lost weight.
He's a con artist, and he exploits others even worse than himself. He has the backing of powerful capital behind him to protect his scams.
In a nutshell, large factories have monopolized the market, making it increasingly difficult for small companies to make money. His A-shares have plummeted, his all-in bet on short dramas has failed, and he's feeling down. He had a drink to drown his sorrows and woke up here.
Both parents worked at Xinhua Bookstore. They also had a younger sister who died in infancy. The original owner graduated from high school and then went to the countryside as part of the agricultural reform program. Huang Zhanying was a revolutionary comrade, and her parents also worked at Xinhua Bookstore. They lived in a large compound with her brother.
After returning to the city, the original host took many exams but failed them all, gloriously becoming an unemployed youth.
"Priority should be given to older and longer-unemployed individuals!"
“After the meeting today, street cadres will visit households one by one to establish production and service cooperatives, ensuring that every unemployed young person can find a job…”

“Please believe in the organization, and at the same time, transform your own thinking. The times are changing, we have established relations with the United States! Besides, there is no high or low position, work is not divided into noble or lowly, you can contribute to the motherland and add bricks to the four modernizations wherever you are!”

The leaders on stage thundered, while the crowd below was at a loss.
"Ha..."
Chen Qi yawned.
