Rebirth of science and technology to rejuvenate the country

In the majestic and magnificent Great Hall of the People, the commendation conference of "China Industry Awards", the highest award in China's industrial field held every two years, is in full swing.

The prize-winning guest said to the microphone: "Next, I will announce the highest award of this conference - the China Industry Award. The award-winning companies are: Xingyuan Machinery Group..."

It was getting late, and there was boundless rain in the gloomy sky, and the cold wind was howling, wrapping the rain and rushing towards the pedestrians under the umbrella.

Tao Yang held up a long-handled black umbrella and tilted it as far as possible to cover the tall man in a black woolen coat beside him. He couldn't help saying, "Yuan Dong, you just came back from Beijing and you've been exhausted all the way. You should take a rest before coming back."

Yuan Xia, who was holding the chrysanthemum, looked up at the hillside, looked at the green and black cypresses and the densely packed tombstones, took a deep breath of the cold air, and shook her head lightly: "It's okay, such good news, I think the first Share it with Mr. Yu for a while."

Tao Yang didn't speak, so he could only silently accompany the leader to continue climbing.

Yuan Xia is over half a century old, still tall and straight, with a handsome face. Years and experience have added to him a wise and elegant temperament, coupled with the courage of a superior person tempered by years of galloping in the mall, one cannot help but be impressed at first sight.

From an ordinary skilled worker to the boss of the world's top [-] companies today, breaking through the foreign technology blockade and super high market share, and standing at the top of the construction machinery industry, Yuan Xia's life is a legend.

His handsome appearance and his unmarried life are also things that the media and the world love to talk about. There are many speculations about his unmarried life, but Yuan Xia never gave a positive reply.

However, the industry generally believes that having no children may not necessarily be a bad thing, at least it has prevented Xingyuan Machinery from becoming a family business.

Halfway up the mountain, and finally arrived at the destination, Yuan Xia said: "You wait for me here."

Tao Yang stopped and handed the umbrella to the leader: "Yes. You take the umbrella."

Yuan Xia took the umbrella and walked slowly towards the tombstone.

A few simple words were written on the dark blue tombstone: "Tomb of Yu Xingyi".There is a black and white photo embedded above the tombstone. In the photo, the person is young and handsome, with high spirits on his brows. The small characters on the right read "[-]-[-]".

Yuan Xia stood in front of the tombstone, stood silently for a while, then squatted down, put down the daisy in his arms, raised his hand to wipe every piece of dust on the photo carefully, stared intently at the person in the photo, and said in a gentle voice : "Xingyi, I'm here to see you again. Today I bring you good news. Our company won the China Industrial Award today. This is the highest award in the industry. Are you happy? Unfortunately, you failed See."

After that, Yuan Xia didn't speak any more, as if he was caught in some kind of memory.

Not far away, Tao Yang shrunk his neck, stomped his feet and walked back and forth while looking at his leader.He has followed the leader for 20 years and knows that the leader is a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. He seldom shows his vulnerable side in front of others, except at the grave of the former president Yu Xingyi.

Xingyuan Machinery was co-founded by Yuan Xia and the former president Yu Xingyi. Unfortunately, the former president died young, and Yuan Xia took over Xingyuan alone, bringing it to the current height step by step.

Suddenly, Tao Yang found that the umbrella in Yuan Xia's hand had fallen to the ground. He was kneeling on the ground with one knee, pressing his hand on his chest, shaking, and suddenly paled in fright, and rushed over in a few steps: "Yuan Dong! Yuan Dong ,What’s wrong with you?"

The next day, "Economic Daily" published two important news at the same time: "Enterprises such as Xingyuan Machinery won the China Industry Award" and "The Fall of a Legendary Superstar - Deep Condolences to Mr. Yuan Xia, President of Xingyuan Machinery".

Yuan Xia, the president of Xingyuan Machinery, suffered from myocardial infarction due to overwork, was sent to the hospital and died suddenly.

As soon as this news was announced, it immediately became a trending topic in the news. The whole world was in an uproar. It was unbelievable. A generation of business wizards fell like this? !

***

Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly?

Yuan Xia looked at everything in front of her, a little confused whether what was in front of her was real, or what was in her memory was real.

Did he return to 40 years ago in a dream, or was everything he experienced in those 40 years just a long dream?

But no matter everything in front of him, or the 40 years of experience, are so real, Yuan Xia is full of doubts.

"Mom, can you not leave?" 11-year-old Yuan Dong wiped away tears and begged Hu Meilian who was sitting by the bed.

Hu Meilian was wearing a red woolen jacket, new trousers, and new leather shoes. Her hair was newly permed, the most popular curly hair, and she was dressed up in a very festive manner.

She was already pretty, but even though she was in her forties and the mother of five children, she still had a charm, so she looked even more youthful and beautiful with such a dress.

At this moment, she touched the head of her second son with a look of embarrassment: "Mom can't help it either. You have so many brothers and sisters, and your mother doesn't have a job, so she can't support you. Dongdong, you have to be obedient."

Yuan Dong cried out: "Mom, I also want to go with you."

Hu Meilian shook her head: "Didn't it be agreed last night? Mom can only take Chun'er and Yangyang, but can't take you. You stay at home with your brothers and sisters, and Mom will come back to see you often."

Yuan Dong cried louder, and Yuan Chun beside him also cried: "Mom, I don't want to leave our house, and I don't want to be separated from my brothers and sisters."

As soon as they cried, Yuan Chongyang, who was six years old, also cried. He was still young and didn't know what happened, so he would only cry with his brothers and sisters.

Wu Lifen, who had been sitting at the desk, sighed. She stood up, looked out of the window, and said, "Meilian, Lao Guo is coming soon. You should prepare yourself. Children, don't cry. It's time for your mother to get married." Good thing, your new father is a sixth-grade worker with a high salary, and your life will be even better in the future than before."

Hu Meilian's marriage was arranged by her.

Hu Meilian stood up and said to Yuan Xia who had been standing silently at the door of the back room: "Xia Xia, mother is leaving, you have to take good care of your brother and sister."

Yuan Xia came back to his senses, took a deep breath, everything in front of him was as familiar as a film rewinding, and he was experiencing that unbearable life again, if fate really gave him a chance to start again, then he would The same tragedy cannot be allowed to happen again.

He looked at his mother and said, "Mom, I have something to tell you. Aunt Wu, you go out and wait for a while. Dongdong takes his younger siblings out to play."

Hu Meilian looked at the eldest son with some doubts: "What do you want to say?"

Yuan Xia didn't speak until his younger siblings and Wu Lifen went out, then went to close the door and said, "Mom, do you really want to remarry?"

His father, Yuan Dasheng, was caught in a flood during a business trip this summer. In order to save a child who fell into the water, he died. Less than half a year after his death, his mother had to remarry.

Hu Meilian was startled and ashamed by her teenage son's question, she looked away: "This... Xia Xia, didn't I say it earlier, my mother can't help it, your father is gone, the pillar of the family is gone, gone Income, I, a woman without a formal job, can’t support this big family.”

Yuan Xia said: "Mom, I am already 17 years old, and I will graduate from high school in one semester. If I fail to pass the college entrance examination, I will go to the factory manager, and he should agree that I will take over from my father. When I go to work, there will be income."

Yuan Xia had calculations in mind, her mother had been doing odd jobs pasting cartons in the street match factory. Although the salary was not high, it was not completely without financial resources.After his father passed away, he gave a pension, which should not be a problem for a year or so.

If he is admitted to university, he will have a monthly living allowance, and he can also find ways to work and study to subsidize his family.If you don't pass the exam, you will go to work directly.It is now the end of 1978. If the reality is the same as he remembers, the reform and opening up will be implemented soon, and business will be possible, so there will be no way out.

Hu Meilian hesitated for a moment, and said: "But there is no confirmation of this. Who knows whether the factory manager will agree or not. I am married now, and I will take Chun'er and Chongyang with me. Then I will give you and your younger siblings living expenses every month." Come, you can go to your school with peace of mind."

Yuan Xia lowered his eyes, he did not deny that his mother had a beautiful idea, but in fact, she couldn't do it at all.

Guo Zhiqiang, who has four sons and a daughter, is good at calculating. He has a high income, but he will not give Hu Meilian a penny at all. Even the money that Hu Meilian brings is squeezed out by him in various ways.

Not only that, Hu Meilian has not been able to take good care of Yuanchun and Chongyang.

Yuanchun was beautiful. At the age of 14, she was raped by Guo Zhiqiang's elder son who was a little lame and could not marry a wife. At the age of 16, she became pregnant and had to marry the 30-year-old rapist.

And all this, Yuan Xia didn't know until Yuan Chun got married.Hu Meilian knew this a long time ago, but she actually acquiesced to this matter!

Chongyang was so smart and cute when he was a child, but because of a high fever and inflammation of the meninges, his intelligence was impaired, and he suffered from it all his life.

As a mother, Hu Meilian is unqualified, how can Yuan Xia trust her younger siblings to her.

Yuan Xia said: "If you must get married, I won't stop you. But I have two conditions: first, you can't take Chun'er and Yangyang with you, you can go by yourself; second, my father's pension Jin, you can only take away the part that belongs to you, and keep my grandfather and our brothers and sisters."

Yuan Xia's calm and rational voice scared Hu Meilian, she opened her mouth and said, "I have already left you 100 yuan."

Yuan Xia said: "My dad was found dead in the line of duty. He is a fourth-grade worker, and his monthly salary is 56.87 yuan. According to the 40-month basic salary compensation given by the state, his pension is 2274 yuan."

"Nonsense! How can there be 40 months, only 20 months!" Hu Meilian quickly argued.

Yuan Xia nodded: "Oh, that's 20 months, and it's also 1137 yuan." 20 months was the payment standard before the policy adjustment in 04.

Hu Meilian's face turned pale, and she grabbed her pocket subconsciously. When did the eldest son become so shrewd, and there is a kind of strength that cannot be ignored.

Yuan Xia went on to say: "According to the inheritance law, you are the spouse and the first in line heir. But my brothers and sisters and I are all minors, and there is also a grandfather who has lost the ability to work, so this inheritance cannot be shared equally with you, 1137 Yuan, you share 350 yuan, and the remaining 787 yuan is given to our siblings and grandpa. Do you think it is fair?"

Hu Meilian was surprised at what Yuan Xia said, she had never heard of any inheritance law, she refused straight away: "No! Chun'er and Chongyang are still young, they have to follow me. You are still young, you can't spend so much money on yourself .I’ll give you another 100, and I’ll leave the rest with you. If you run out of money, come and get it from me.”

Yuan Xia looked at her calmly, and shook his head: "There is no need to discuss this matter. If you want to remarry, you must leave Chun'er and Chongyang behind. You can't take care of them well. No one knows who Guo Zhiqiang is. You brought him here." It’s hard to say whether the money will be up to you in the future. Put the money with me, and I will keep it safe.”

Hu Meilian was in a hurry: "No, I can't give it to you."

Yuan Xia asked: "Do you know how Guo Zhiqiang's wife died?"

Hu Meilian was taken aback: "He died of illness."

Yuan Xia snorted softly: "They told you that he died of illness? In fact, his wife committed suicide."

He only found out later that Guo Zhiqiang's ex-wife was forced to commit suicide by Guo Zhiqiang's meanness, indifference, selfishness and domestic violence.Hu Meilian was just a nanny who didn't take any money in Guo's house. When she got old, she was forced to have no choice but to find Yuan Xia, who had severed her relationship with her long ago, to support her.

"How do you know?" Hu Meilian looked in disbelief.

Yuan Xia sighed: "I found out. Mom, I have no objection to your remarriage. But I hope you can find another good man, but if you insist on marrying Guo Zhiqiang, then follow what I said, and I will take care of all younger brothers and sisters at home." Our money is also given to me, Xiaoqiu is very ill, I want to take her for treatment, her illness can't be delayed any longer."

The eldest sister Yuan Qiu is the eternal pain in Yuan Xia's heart.Yuan Qiu's body has been weak since he was a child, either it hurts here, or he feels uncomfortable there.

During the period before and after Hu Meilian's remarriage, she always said that she had a stomachache, and no one in the family took her too seriously, so they took her to the clinic for injections and painkillers.

After Hu Meilian got married, she became seriously ill and was in so much pain that she was dying. Yuan Xia sent her to the county hospital where she was diagnosed with a perforated appendix, which caused severe abdominal infection.

The medical facilities in the county hospital are poor, and many doctors have not been rehabilitated yet. Yuanqiu lost his young life because of appendicitis, a seemingly trivial disease.

"Isn't Xiaoqiu just having a stomachache? By the way, where's Xiaoqiu?" Only then did Hu Meilian remember her eldest daughter.

Yuan Xia glanced at the back room, and said: "Lying on the bed. She has had a stomachache for so many days, and she has not recovered from injections or medicine. I plan to take her to the hospital for a checkup."

Hu Meilian hesitated for a moment: "Shouldn't you need to go to the hospital, she always has a minor illness, she will be fine in a few days."

Yuan Xia looked at Hu Meilian coldly: "Are you distressed about spending money? Hurry up and give me the money, otherwise you don't want to come out of this door today. I'm not afraid of making a mess, it's a big deal and everyone knows it." Pulled a chair and sat behind the door.

Hu Meilian saw that the eldest son didn't seem to be joking at all, and said, "Xia Xia, don't be like this. I'm your mother. If you really want money, will I not give it to you?"

Yuan Xia stretched out her hand: "I need money now, give it to me!"

The sound of firecrackers has already sounded downstairs, and the bridegroom has arrived.
