Break out of the courtyard

March 1978, 3, Wednesday, cold.

Although today is the opening day for major colleges and universities across the country, some people are recruited in the second batch. Their admission notices arrived a little late. In addition, there are procedures such as household registration changes and other procedures, such as going home to announce the good news, resulting in many new students. still on the way.

When selecting candidates for the School of Drama, there are more requirements for basic skills. There are only a few freshmen arriving at school today, only 12.

Zhang Heping glanced at the eight newly recruited girls. They were average-looking, aged between 8 and 17, and dressed in average clothes. He wondered if they would be unwritten rules in the future.

After reporting back to the classroom, the teacher went out to talk to Zhang Heping alone and asked him if he wanted to transfer to the directing department.

Director...hidden rules?

never mind!

To avoid trouble, Zhang Heping simply stated the reason why he would not change his major: he wanted to graduate this year and then go to Japan to study abroad.

The reason is that the "China-Japan Long-term Trade Agreement" was signed on February 2 this year, and he wants to go to Japan to learn technology, so as to prevent the Japanese people from using backward technology to defraud our country of money!

Looking back on his dealings with Director Qi over the years, there was no relationship between the two parties, and they could only be regarded as acquaintances. With Zhang Heping's current identity, connections, and current policies, he only needs to simply maintain this relationship, and there is no need to send fish to him like before. Meat.

If an ordinary student said this, the teacher would probably think he was crazy.

There are 3 books per person, and they are thread-bound volumes printed on wax paper.

After a simple thank you, Zhang Heping asked a few male classmates to work as coolies at the teacher's request and moved this semester's textbooks into the classroom.

Zhang Heping and his 41 Grade 77 students were mainly responsible for setting up the stage, including moving props, changing backgrounds, etc.

Zhang Heping is confident that he can earn foreign exchange by exporting bamboo handicrafts, but the energy invested is not proportional to the harvest, so he has no motivation to do it.

After climbing onto the elevated platform, these students only need to stay on it and adjust the lights according to the pre-designed program schedule.

There were several times when the program director was unable to express his ideas clearly, and when a group of students were confused, it was Zhang Heping who picked up a pen and paper and drew out what the director wanted to express.

Since all the new students have not arrived, the orientation party has been postponed. We will continue to rehearse and sing.

As soon as the textbooks were released, their 41 students majoring in stage design and stage lighting were assigned to do odd jobs in the performance hall.

Zhang Heping wanted to help the school install remote-controlled lighting units, but the school had no funds. After submitting the list of items written by Zhang Heping, it was never approved.

The one with the easiest job is Zhang Heping, who is the auxiliary conductor in the audience. He is a good talker and has strong painting skills.

"Heping, what do you think about opening a bamboo weaving workshop in our street?" Director Qi said happily: "I have contacted the lumber factory and they can provide us with bamboo."

Thinking again about the polite attitude of the school director towards Zhang Heping, the teacher sighed helplessly, "There should be a batch of graduates in June this year. I will register you first and see how the school will assess you this year."

But Zhang Heping's deputy director level treatment was there, so the teacher thought it was an arrangement for Zhang Heping from above.

Zhang Heping responded casually: "As long as the supply and marketing cooperative or other units are willing to accept it, then there will be no problem."

Therefore, everyone ignored the essence of Zhang Heping standing in the audience... being lazy!

The students who had a relatively easy job were the students who had their turn to adjust the lights on the elevated platform.

"What else can I do besides weaving bamboo?" Zhang Heping said as he led people into the main room.

"Do you think bamboo weaving can be exported to the Canton Fair to earn foreign exchange?"

After school in the afternoon, when Zhang Heping returned to No. 7 Courtyard on the North Shore of Houhai, Director Qi from the Houhai Subdistrict Office was already guarding the door.

Director Qi's words made Zhang Heping look at him twice and said: "There are bamboo products at the Canton Fair, but I don't know the sales volume. You have to ask the local product foreign trade company."

"There are a lot of unemployed women on the street. I originally wanted to organize them to make clothes and pickles, but I couldn't get cloth or vegetables." Director Qi sat helplessly at the dining table in the main room.

Zhang Heping added tea leaves and boiling water to the teapot and said, "Women can also do bamboo weaving, and it may look better than men."

"However, to open a bamboo weaving workshop, you still need a large iron pot to boil water for greening, as well as supporting firewood." After Zhang Heping poured tea for Director Qi, he continued:

"If you decide to do it, you can get some bamboo first, and I will make some finished products for you. Then, it depends on whether you can find a supply and marketing cooperative to purchase it, or find other units or factories to purchase it."

Director Qi hesitated for a moment and asked again: "Can you take the finished bamboo products to the Canton Fair to try?"

"Director Qi!" Zhang Heping frowned, "Let's not talk about whether the small street workshops are qualified to participate in the Canton Fair. Even if we sign an order with a foreign businessman, who will guarantee the output and quality? If we cannot deliver on time, we will have to pay high liquidated damages. , can you bear this responsibility?”

"This..." Director Qi really wanted to say that you should be responsible, but when he thought about it, it was wrong. It would be great if Zhang Heping could teach craftsmanship. Why should he be responsible?

The key is that Zhang Heping didn't ask for the house and didn't owe him anything!

Director Qi lost his initial excitement. Just as Ma Xiuzhen and others came back from get off work, he got up and left.

The next morning, the Houhai Street Construction Team came and chopped down the three trees in front of Courtyard No. 7, leaving no stumps.

When Zhang Heping came back from school in the afternoon, he found dozens of bamboos piled up in the flower garden in front of his door, as well as some people watching the excitement.

Father Zhang Bing said that Director Qi had come and left a message asking Zhang Heping to do bamboo weaving first.

Zhang Heping didn't waste any time. He dug out tools he hadn't used for a long time and started making bamboo chairs, benches, and tables...

At present, free buying and selling is not allowed, either the supply and marketing cooperative is willing to purchase it, or the factory or unit purchases it.

Otherwise, it is just speculation!

On the morning of March 3, Zhang Heping took half a day off and put his father-in-law Tang Ming on the train going south.

Before his father-in-law Tang Ming left, he told Zhang Heping about the meeting. The three-to-one trade method was opposed, but it was not rejected by the conference. It will be discussed in depth after the meeting.

In addition, the father-in-law Tang Ming became a member of the CPPCC, but lost his position as counselor.

When Zhang Heping returned, he saw several freshmen asking for directions at the train station.

I heard from a teacher at the School of Drama that there are still five students from the acting department of their school who have not arrived.

Furthermore, among this year's freshmen, in addition to students admitted to the college entrance examination, there are also some workers, peasants and soldiers, but the number is not large.

At noon, Zhang Heping sent a bamboo mat he had knitted last night to the Houhai Subdistrict Office, but Director Qi was still nowhere to be seen. The clerk who stayed behind said that they were still looking for a home to pick up the bamboo mat.

Zhang Heping had actually expected Director Qi's inefficiency.

It's hard for someone like Director Qi who doesn't speak and do things readily enough to have close friends.

As for Director Wang, it is a comradeship and cannot be confused.

That afternoon, when Zhang Heping returned to school, he found a strange young man in a green military uniform shouting on the stage, criticizing the program and the teacher...

Zhang Heping hated this kind of person. A martial arts master like him had to keep a low profile. How could a little scumbag be more arrogant than him?

The solution to his displeasure is to crush him into ashes with absolute strength!

So, when all the teachers and students on the stage were silent, Zhang Heping came on the stage, grabbed the back of the kid's neck with his right hand, and quickly slapped him with his left hand several times, removing his limbs and jaw.

Then, Zhang Heping was seen lifting the man off the ground like a chicken, "You continue, I will check his details. If he is the remnant of Zhang, Li, Wang Yao, he will be dismissed and sent to "Re-education through labor."

Watching Zhang and Heping leave, the performance hall was quiet for a while, and then there was a commotion.

"I read that right! Squad leader Zhang knows kung fu!"

"He's so strong! He can lift people up with just one hand!"

"Why are you grabbing my neck?"

"No, what did monitor Zhang just say? You want to expel that freshman?"

"I heard that Squad Leader Zhang was a division-level cadre before!"
