The history of raising children from the Republic of China to the 70s

Professor Zhou almost couldn't help snatching the phone, but unfortunately, before he could do anything, Professor Zhang happily hung up the phone after speaking.

"How is it? How many points did Li Chengye score this time?" Professor Zhou asked anxiously as soon as the phone was hung up.

"Hey, guess how many exams he took?" Professor Zhang was in a very good mood at the moment, and he even managed to show off to Professor Zhou mysteriously.

Professor Zhou couldn't help giving him a blank look, and said coldly, "Hurry up and talk nonsense."

Professor Zhang shook his head helplessly, "You are just too impatient!"

Professor Zhou stared at him without speaking, his face was cold, and he looked a little scary.

Seeing him like this, Professor Zhang immediately shivered, and he didn't dare to play tricks again, and quickly said: "I said, I said, I will say it."

As he spoke, he coughed lightly, and said very solemnly: "Li Chengye, our student, scored 490 and [-] points in the college entrance examination this time."

"What? 490 six?" Professor Zhou still couldn't believe it. He knew that Li Chengye's grades were good from the old man Zhang's attitude, but he never thought that his grades would be so good. This score is simply too surprising. .They didn't have additional questions in the college entrance examination this time, and there were only some foreign language majors in the foreign language test, so the total score was only [-] points, and Li Chengye's score could be said to be almost perfect.

"Of course, he is still the number one student in the college entrance examination in our province." Professor Zhang is also very proud at this moment. Knowing that Li Chengye is still his student, this has a different meaning.

"What about the whole country? Have the national results come out?" Professor Zhou was also very excited, but he immediately thought of a more important thing. You must know that there can be dozens of top students in the provincial college entrance examination, but there is only one top student in the national college entrance examination.

"I can't be sure about this. They said that there are still a few provinces whose scores have not been summarized, but Li Chengye's score is still the highest among all the provinces." Professor Zhang shook his head, with some expectation in his eyes. Li Chengye's score is already very good. Yes, I heard over there that the one closest to this score is less than ten points.

Professor Zhou clapped his hands, "Hey, it seems that this time the number one in the college entrance examination has a great chance to be Li Chengye's!"

"It should be." Professor Zhang also agreed very much.

The phone rang again while the two were talking. This time, Professor Zhou was faster, so he quickly picked it up. The other end of the phone started talking before Professor Zhou could speak. Professor Zhang quickly put his ears to listen, and immediately listened. To the loud laughter coming from the phone.

"Hahahahaha, the national college entrance examination champion has come out, do you know? Do you know? The champion of the college entrance examination this time is Li Chengye from our province, he is..."

On the other end of the phone was their old friend, a director of the Provincial Department of Education. It was good news for them that the top scorer in the national college entrance examination was here.

The other party just came to announce the news. After speaking, he hung up the phone before Professor Zhou and the others could speak. It should be to notify other people.

"Hahaha, old man Zhou, did you hear that Li Chengye is really the top scorer in the national college entrance examination? I'm going to call him right now." Professor Zhang was so happy that he snatched the phone from Professor Zhou in a hurry. After hanging up, he picked it up again, and dialed the number that he remembered very well.

When the two professors learned of the news that they had become the number one in the college entrance examination, many places and units across the country also knew about it, especially in Hu'an Province. Many places quickly hung up to celebrate Li Chengye's becoming the number one in the college entrance examination banner.

Of course, the media was the first to get the news. Before Li Chengye received the news, the newspapers in the provincial capital had already sent people to interview Li Chengye.But they had to make a trip in vain. Because Li Chengye had a very important procurement task, he wasn't in the factory these days.And because communication is inconvenient now, no one in the steel factory knows where Li Chengye is.

But Professor Zhou and Professor Zhang wanted to inform Li Chengye, but they didn't get through the phone.

At this time, Secretary Chu and the others were having a meeting in the conference room, when suddenly Hu Liren rushed in anxiously, "Secretary Chu, Secretary Chu, some people from the provincial city newspaper have come to our steel factory and said they want to interview Li Chengye, the number one student in the national college entrance examination."

Hu Liren looked very anxious, but the smile on his face was so big that he couldn't hide it. He almost jumped up when he heard the news just now. His good brother will be the number one in the national college entrance examination in the future, so people don't know What to say is good.

"What! Li Chengye is the top scorer in the national college entrance examination!"

"No way! Could it be someone with the same name?"

"That's right, a reporter from the provincial newspaper? It's not a lie, is it?" One sentence caused a stir. People who thought that Li Chengye gave up his career to go to college before would feel ashamed. Who would have thought of him? How can it be so awesome.

Of course, Secretary Chu didn't expect that Li Chengye would do such a big thing all of a sudden, which is really surprising.

He couldn't help looking at Hu Liren, and asked with confirmation: "Are you sure the person who came is really a reporter from the provincial newspaper, and that the national college entrance examination champion is really Li Chengye from our steel plant?"

Hu Liren nodded frantically, and said eagerly: "Of course I can be sure. I have already seen the other party's work card. I am sure that the reporter from the provincial newspaper is not wrong. I am also sure that it is our Li Chengye. The reporter has already said that the number one in the national college entrance examination is our school." Comrade Li Chengye from Jiangxian Iron and Steel Manufacturing Plant, 27-year-old Comrade Li Chengye."

The news of the person coming from the provincial newspaper was really important, so someone immediately informed Hu Liren, and Hu Liren ran to the door without stopping. At that time, he also thought the news was too surprising, and he repeatedly confirmed it Once, there must be no problem.

Secretary Chu was really excited now, and immediately stood up from his seat, "What about the reporter, did you treat him well?" He was about to go out to meet people as soon as he said that.

Hu Liren hurriedly said: "The reception has been made, and this meeting is at the reception room on the first floor." As he spoke, he followed Secretary Chu.

Secretary Chu: "How many people?"

Hu Liren: "A total of four people came, and they also brought cameras."

Seeing that the two were about to leave after asking and answering, Director Zhou hurriedly called out, "Old Chu?"

Secretary Chu stopped and turned around, calming down the excitement in his heart, and said to everyone in the meeting room: "Today's meeting is here for the time being, and we will continue at a later time. Everyone, let's leave. Director Zhou, come with me." Go and have a look."

Director Zhou nodded and stood up, and the three of them went to the first floor together.

As soon as they left, the rest of the people couldn't help whispering. For a while, the conference room was full of surprises, and they were all discussing the matter of the number one in the college entrance examination.

At this time, in the conference room on the first floor, Secretary Chu had already seen several people from the provincial capital. The leader was a middle-aged man with glasses, and the other two looked much younger.

As soon as they entered, Hu Liren quickly introduced them, "Secretary Chu, Director Zhou, this is the editor-in-chief Xing of the provincial newspaper."

"Hello, Editor-in-Chief Xing." Secretary Chu and Director Zhou hurriedly shook hands with him, with a very enthusiastic attitude.

"Editor Xing, this is Secretary Chu and Director Zhou of our factory."

The editor-in-chief Xing from the provincial newspaper looked a little arrogant, but his attitude towards Secretary Chu and Director Zhou was much colder, and he just nodded.

But Secretary Chu and the others didn't care. People from big cities, and the editor-in-chief of a provincial newspaper, it's normal for cultural people to be a little arrogant.

Although Hu Liren also felt that this person was a little too much, Secretary Chu and the others didn't say anything, and it was even more difficult for him to say anything.He just continued to introduce them: "These two are reporter Lan and reporter Luo from the provincial newspaper."

These two young people had a better attitude, with the vigor of these young people on their faces, and shook hands with Secretary Chu and the others very actively.

Secretary Chu thought about greeting them first, but Editor-in-Chief Xing frowned and looked in the direction of the door, and said directly, "Why hasn't Comrade Li Chengye come over yet? We're here to interview him this time. It's limited, let him come over quickly!"

The editor-in-chief Xing was a little unhappy because he was sent here by the newspaper, so he wanted to go back after the interview, and he didn't see anyone for a while, so he felt a little unhappy.

Secretary Chu quickly explained: "Editor-in-chief Xing, I'm very sorry, Comrade Li Chengye from our factory is not here now, he is still on a business trip..."

Before Secretary Chu finished speaking, Editor-in-Chief Xing stood up anxiously, "What? The person is not here, but I came all the way here, so hurry up and hand him back, I'm still waiting for the interview!"

The two reporters sitting next to Editor-in-Chief Xing watched with their eyes, nose, nose, nose and heart, and they didn't move at all. They were just interns at the newspaper office, so naturally they didn't dare to say anything, and could only obey Editor-in-Chief Xing's arrangement.Although they also felt that the editor-in-chief Xing in front of them was a bit difficult, how could a person on a business trip call him back as soon as he said he was called.

Secretary Chu naturally frowned. It was also the first time he met such a difficult reporter, although he hadn't met many reporters before.Secretary Chu didn't speak for a moment.

Director Zhou also knew that Secretary Chu was a little unhappy, so he quickly stood between the two of them and explained to Editor-in-Chief Xing with a smile: "Editor-in-Chief Xing, I'm really sorry, Comrade Li Chengye is the person in charge of the purchasing department. There is a very important procurement task outside the business trip, and we are temporarily unable to contact people at this moment. See if you can wait for the two, and we will try our best to find them back."

Director Zhou didn't say anything false. This time, the procurement task of the steel factory was really heavy. There was a problem with a catalyst in the workshop before, and it couldn't be used at all. Li Chengye went to solve this problem this time. See Let's see if it is because of the quality problem at the supply point or something.At this time, they were not sure where Li Chengye had gone, because this time Li Chengye did not only have this task.

Editor-in-Chief Xing is also very annoyed at this meeting. He is used to being flattered by others. Although he pretends to be an intellectual, he is actually just pretending. He is not a very talented person himself. Many articles are It's an intern who is squeezed out by his subordinates.He was reluctant to be sent here this time, and he didn't think it was any great to be the top scorer in the national college entrance examination.

Hearing what Director Zhou said, he just flicked his sleeves and wanted to leave, "Hmph, I don't have so much time to spend here, okay, if you don't come, you can't seize the opportunity, so don't waste my time, we Let's go now."

As he said that, he took the people away, and he was about to leave. Naturally, the remaining two reporters didn't want to stay, so they got up immediately.

Director Zhou was in a hurry, and stopped them quickly, "Hey, Editor-in-Chief Xing, don't worry, we will get him back as soon as possible..."

Before Director Zhou could finish speaking, Secretary Chu pulled him aside with an ugly face, and said in a flat tone: "I'm sorry, Editor-in-Chief Xing, Comrade Li Chengye will probably not be here in a short time, so we won't waste your precious time gone."

His words were very blunt, and he didn't give the editor-in-chief Xing any face at all.

Editor-in-Chief Xing was of course very upset when he heard it. He originally thought that if they begged, he would wait two days for them to treat him well, but he didn’t want to stay any longer. .” After he said this, he led the people away without any delay.

Factory Manager Zhou hurriedly wanted to pull people away to persuade them to stay, but Secretary Chu held on tightly and had no intention of letting go at all.

"Old Chu, what are you doing? Why did you piss people off?" Director Zhou looked at Secretary Chu angrily. He had clearly noticed that Director Xing hesitated just now. After a while, maybe people will stay.

You must know that this is a newspaper office from the provincial capital. If they said a few more things about the steel factory when interviewing Li Chengye, then maybe their factory would become famous in the whole province or even the whole country.

Secretary Chu frowned, "Okay, what are you keeping them here for? Treat them like uncles, or bring Li Chengye back right away. With their attitude, they can still say something good to us. If you don't know, just ask." Some words that are not easy to answer."

Secretary Chu felt that the person in front of him was not like a real reporter at all, and his behavior was unsightly.

Factory Manager Zhou also frowned and fell silent. The matter is already like this, and there is no point in saying anything else.

The fact that the Iron and Steel Manufacturing Plant in Menjiang County produced a top scorer in the national college entrance examination soon spread. Not only the provincial reporters wanted to interview Li Chengye, but also the reporters from the city’s newspaper offices. Someone will come.It's just that Li Chengye himself was on a business trip, and they couldn't interview the people they wanted to interview, so in the end, these people could only interview people around Li Chengye, including Secretary Chu and Director Zhou, who were all interviewed by reporters from the city. , Of course, the most important thing is Li's mother. Everyone wants to know what kind of mother can cultivate a national college entrance examination champion.

And Li Chengye was indeed running around these days, and there was indeed a problem with the factory that supplied their catalyst before, and the problem was not small.The main reason is poor management, which leads to poor efficiency, and the workers are not serious about their work. There are mistakes in the preparation, and finally there are problems.

This kind of problem simply cannot be solved within a period of time, so Li Chengye finally decided to find a new supplier. By the time Li Chengye and the others returned to Menjiang City after completing their mission, the New Year was already approaching.At this time, everyone will pay more attention to his New Year's events, and he has already forgotten about the number one in the college entrance examination.It's just that some people who are more familiar with Li Chengye are paying attention to one thing.

It was already late when Li Chengye came back. They didn't go back to the factory immediately, but they all went home. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when Li Chengye got home. They had dinner in the car before getting off. It's not that I'm hungry, but I'm a little tired, and I look haggard a lot, my lips are covered with skin, very dry and cracked.

He opened the yard door lightly. He didn't want to disturb Li's mother and the others sleeping, but the door of the main room was bolted. If he wanted to go in, he had to open the door from the inside. Li Chengye had no choice but to walk around to the window of Li's mother's room. Knocked a few times, "Mom, I'm the one who came back, please open the door for me."

"Chengye, are you back?" Li's mother is also a relatively light sleeper, and it may be that she just lay down, and she reacted almost immediately, knowing that her son who had traveled far away came back, she quickly got up with her clothes on, and then Just went outside the room.

Li Chengye quickly agreed, "It's me." After hearing the movement, he hurried to the door of the main room, waiting for Mother Li to open the door for him.

Mother Li moved quickly, almost running over, and when Li Chengye stood at the door again, the door was opened.Inside, Mother Li was wearing a padded jacket, her hair and clothes were a little messy, she had obviously fallen asleep.

Mother Li was wearing very thin clothes, and when the wind blew outside the door, she shrank immediately, looking very cold.Li Chengye frowned immediately when he saw it, walked in quickly, and closed the door firmly.

"Mom, why did you get up with such little clothes on? You must not be so anxious in the future." Li Chengye pushed Mother Li to the fire in the main room after speaking.There is still steaming there, and although there is no spark, there is still a lot of unburned carbon in it.

"Got it, got it." Although Li's mother was nagging at her son, she was still very happy in her heart. Feeling the coldness of her son's body, she hurriedly took a few more branches and put them on the fire, trying to put them back together again. The fire is burning, and it also keeps the son warm.Li Chengye looked at his movements and didn't stop him. Although he was very tired and wanted to go to sleep, he still had the energy to talk to Mother Li.

Mother Li is also a veteran in the kitchen.The fire was quickly heated up, and by the way, a pot of water was boiled by the side of the fire. She didn't know that her son was coming back today, so she didn't keep any water.
