Bringing space back to the 1970s to develop rural areas

No matter how reluctant you are, you have to say goodbye eventually.

The next morning, a group of people came to send Yang Ziling and Chen Xiao to the train station. The two of them went to the university in the northwest together.

Chen Yu took Zhang Daqiang to the south, and was particularly careful to protect the small revolving lantern he had brought specially for Mr. Qian.

This is a gift he wants to bring to his teacher, so it can't be damaged in any way.

According to Yang Qingdai and the others, it’s not cold in the south at all, and they didn’t bring much with them.

The main thing was that when they set out for the capital, they packed up most of the things from the Qingshan Brigade and mailed them to the south, and the person who signed for it was Su Mo.

Only now could they get on the train and head south so easily.

In the next few days, Tang Danbai and Qu Mei both went out early and came back late, and both looked tired when they came back.

For several days in a row, prospective college students who had not yet started school were dragged away by Wang Changfeng to help.

After the New Year, train cars full of old stuff from all over the country were brought here. To put it bluntly, those were picked out from recycling stations and garbage dumps, and no one cared about them.

Once unloaded into the large warehouse, if there was not enough space, they would be piled directly in the huge yard. By the time Wang Changfeng reported for duty, the goods had almost piled up into small mountains.

So, the new temporary worker Wang Changfeng was sent to sort and register these things.

In addition to handing these things over to museums and research institutions, the rest are allowed to be sold. Of course, most of them are sold to foreign tourists to earn some foreign exchange.

The leader, out of consideration for Tang Danbai and also because he saw that the job was indeed hard and boring, told Wang Changfeng that if he liked anything, he could just register it and pay some money.

With such a good thing happening, Wang Changfeng told his leader before even discussing it with Yang Qingdai and the others, saying that there were several university students at home who were waiting for school to start and could be asked to help on a voluntary basis.

As long as I am responsible for their lunch, I have a friend who likes these things very much and I wonder if he can get the same treatment as the ones he likes.

Are there people who work for free?

The leader immediately gave the green light and said it was okay.

The reason they agreed so readily was that there were too many things piling up, their bureau was seriously understaffed, and their superiors were unwilling to add more people.

Tang Danbai got the temporary worker quota for Wang Changfeng from his superiors. Now that there are free laborers available, he has to be recruited to work quickly.

For college students who are waiting for school to start, it will be very face-saving to tell others about this later.

Everyone knows that the students who can be admitted to Beijing University this year are all outstanding, and the senior leaders admire them very much. I heard that many people are ready to go to universities to find good seedlings and want to take them with them to teach them.

The director of the Cultural Relics Bureau was thinking, when Wang Changfeng brings people over, could he also pick out some good candidates that he likes and have them come to the bureau to help regularly in the future?

After they graduate, wouldn't it be natural to keep them?

The more the director thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to him. Ever since Yang Qingdai and others came to help "voluntarily", he went to the big warehouse diligently every day, and the more he looked at Yang Qingshan, the more satisfied he became.

It’s not that he doesn’t like the three girls, but he thinks that these heavy jobs are more suitable for boys.

A few kids were picking and choosing among the pile of old books and ancient paintings. A comrade from the bureau was standing nearby, holding a notebook and thanking Jiji.

On the other side, there are also small hills of ancient scrolls, ancient books in 80% to 90% condition, and small bronze artifacts...

"Oh, what a pity, we didn't see any better ancient ink and rice paper. These are what Auntie loves the most, and we haven't seen any in our search for these days." There was some disappointment in Tang Danni's tone.

Yang Qingdai comforted her, "It's okay, just keep looking, you will find it eventually."

"Yes, how come there isn't any?" The director of the Cultural Relics Bureau came over in a blue work suit. "I'll have someone take you to the warehouse where the ancient ink is stored later."

"Really?"

The eyes of several children lit up. At Yang Qingdai's signal, Yang Qingshan asked, "Director Yan, can we also go and take a look at the things in other warehouses?

Well, the elderly at home like these old things, and I want to buy some for them to make them happy. "

"Sure, sure." Director Yan was very happy. "Go ahead and have a look. I'll give you a note later and you can buy whatever you like."

In addition to the reason why he was attracted to Yang Qingshan's boy, another reason was that the three girls were too generous. They took out a handful of foreign exchange coupons, and it was obvious that they were not short of money.

One of them is about to study at the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and two are going to the University of Foreign Languages. Before they graduate, all the units are vying for them, so there is no way for a "garbage collector" like him to get their turn.

He had to keep a close eye on Yang Qingshan, who was studying history, to avoid being overtaken by others and having no place to cry.

"Your elders are blessed to have caring and filial younger generations like you."

Director Yan recalled the past movements, when many descendants severed ties with their elders and parents in order to avoid being implicated.

"We met the old man when we went to the countryside. He didn't have many relatives. He had suffered a lot. Now that we can return to the city, it would be nice to buy some old items and trinkets to make them happy."

"It's time to enjoy your life." These words were said by Wang Changfeng.

Director Yan didn't know that the elders they were referring to also included his mother, but he knew it very well.

The things Tang Danni bought the most were pens, ink, paper, and inkstones, all of which were sent to his mother's room. She and Yang Qingdai also cleaned up a large, bright room for his mother to use for painting and writing when she had nothing to do.

He is more considerate and careful than his son.

You can’t blame me for only having eyes for Yang Qingdai and a few other female comrades. Even the preferences of my own son have to be placed behind those three.

Director Yan is very satisfied with these children because they are hardworking and filial to the elderly who are not related to them by blood.

Director Yan pointed at the two comrades closest to them and said, "Xiao Li and Xiao Chen, you two will take them to various warehouses later, and come to my office later to get a new approval slip."

Before leaving, he patted Yang Qingshan on the shoulder and said, "You are a good young man. I am optimistic about you. After school starts, you can continue to come to the bureau with Xiao Wang when you have free time."

Everyone present here who understands the meaning of “摇黃” will understand it.

Xiao Li and Xiao Chen were so happy. With their help, the efficiency of the work was rising steadily. They were able to help them clear a lot of "inventory", and their bureau could also earn some foreign exchange.

It really kills two birds with one stone.

It was a very correct decision for Director Yan to agree to Comrade Wang Changfeng's joining the company.

After Director Yan left, the gazes of several people fell on the two of them at the same time.

"Come on, let's go to the cafeteria to eat first. After that, I'll take you to see all the warehouses in the afternoon."

Yang Qingdai thought to herself: It's worthy of being the Cultural Relics Bureau, they are so generous.
