Rebirth of science and technology to rejuvenate the country

The Spring Festival is approaching, and the coldest March [-]th has passed, and Shenyang is still more than ten degrees below zero.The snow that fell some time ago has not melted so far and has turned into solid ice. Fortunately, the ice and snow on the road have been removed, otherwise we would have to walk all the way and fall all the way.

Yuan Xia and Yu Xingyi were dressed like two big stupid bears, wrapped up so that only two eyes were exposed, carrying tobacco, alcohol, nutrition, fruit, etc., and went to visit Zheng Songbai——Shen Yangjian An old retired engineer from a machine factory, an old student studying in East Germany.

Yu Xing asked in a low voice: "You chatted with the people from the construction machinery factory yesterday, and that's what you were talking about?"

Yuan Xia smiled and said, "That's right, isn't this a ready-made and experienced engineer? The construction machinery factory also makes excavators, isn't it a special match for our profession?"

Yu Xingyi said, "Haven't we not built an excavator yet?"

Yuan Xia said: "Then invite people over first. The machines are all connected, and they will definitely help."

Yu Xing nodded. He also knew that it is easy for private companies to recruit workers, but it is very difficult to recruit engineers. Many engineers work in state-owned enterprises and have formal jobs. Unless it is absolutely necessary, they will not go to sea.Retired old engineers are obviously a very good choice.

The two entered an old dormitory building, entered the corridor, and finally felt warmer, because the northeast is collectively heated, and the interior is very warm, much more comfortable than the winter in the south.

Yuan Xia knocked on the door, and an eight or nine-year-old girl came to answer the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Yuan Xia took off his scarf, showed his face, and said, "Hi, kid, I'm here to find Mr. Zheng. Is he at home?"

The girl turned her head and shouted into the room: "Grandpa, someone is looking for you."

Zheng Songbai came out from the back room. He has gray hair, a pair of glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose, and the corners of his mouth are always drooping. He looks like a person who likes to lose his temper. People with great skills also have a big temper. He looked up from behind the glasses. , I was sure it was someone I didn't know, a little surprised, and asked: "Who are you?"

Yuan Xia and Yu Xing went into the room: "Hello, Mr. Zheng! My name is Yuan Xia. We are from Yuecheng. We want to talk to Mr. Zheng about excavators. Can we come in?"

"Come in." Zheng Songbai said.

Yuan Xia asked again: "Do you need to change your shoes?"

Zheng Songbai pointed to the shoe rack at the door: "There are slippers on it."

Yuan Xia bent down and took two pairs of slippers, and gave one pair to Yu Xingyi.

The two changed their shoes and entered the house, and put their things on the table by the window at the door.

Zheng Songbai sat down on the wooden chair: "What do you do? Sit down, Tongtong, and pour two cups of tea for the guests."

Yuan Xia and Yu Xingyi went to sit down, and said: "Zheng Gong, my name is Yuan Xia, Yuan Da Yuan, Xia Xia in summer. We are from Yuecheng Xingyuan Machinery Factory, and I am the factory manager. His name is Yu Xingyi. He is my partner and a mechanical teacher at Yuecheng University, responsible for the technical research and development of our factory."

Zheng Songbai turned his head and looked at them again: "What kind of products does your factory produce?"

Yuan Xia said: "Currently the main business is electric sewing machines and seaming machines. We are planning to change careers and want to build excavators and dump trucks. I heard that Zheng Gong is an expert in excavators, so I would like to ask you to come out and come to our factory to give us advice. .”

"There is a huge difference between a sewing machine and an excavator. Why do you want to be an excavator?"

Yuan Xia explained with a smile: "The sewing machine was just made by chance. We planned to make construction machinery from the beginning. We didn't do it because of financial and technical problems. Now the time is ripe, so we still want to go back to the original plan." Come up."

Zheng Songbai didn't say anything else, just said: "You are so far away, how do you know that I am a bad old man?"

Yuan Xia said: "This time we came to the Northeast to visit and study, and we heard about your situation at the construction machinery factory, so we took the liberty to visit you and see if Mr. Zheng has any plans to come out of the mountain again."

Zheng Songbai waved his hand: "I'm retired, what else can a bad old man do, just read newspapers at home, practice calligraphy, and make fun of grandchildren."

Yu Xingyi smiled and said: "Zheng Gong is too modest. You are an old student studying in East Germany, and Germany is an old machinery manufacturing powerhouse. Our school is still using German mechanical products as textbooks. Zheng Gong has all the skills. It is the time when you have the most experience, and you are not considered old, if you just stay at home like this, it will be a waste of your talent."

Zheng Songbai looked at Yu Xingyi: "Are you a teacher of mechanical engineering? What do you teach?"

Yu Xingyi said: "The younger generation is teaching mechanical drawing. My tutor is also an old student who returned from the Soviet Union. He is about to retire, but he plans to continue to re-employ after retirement, and also wants to shine in the machinery manufacturing industry."

Hearing what he said, Zheng Songbai asked about Qu Junqing's situation. Speaking of which, they actually went abroad to study in the same year, and maybe they took the same train to Moscow.

Yuan Xia listened to their narration, and chatted about some professional topics, about excavators.Yuan Xia had something to say, and also participated in it, and the three of them chatted in full swing.

When it comes to professional issues, Zheng Songbai gets excited.

In the end, Zheng Songbai patted his thigh and said with great regret: "It's a pity, our factory hasn't been making excavators for a few years."

Yuan Xia and Yu Xing looked at each other: "Why don't Zheng Gong come to our Xingyuan Machinery, and I will definitely make up for your regret."

Zheng Songbai said: "I am getting old, and I am really reluctant to leave my hometown."

Yuan Xia said: "Now that you have an airplane, it is very convenient to go home. Mr. Zheng is willing to come to Xingyuan Machinery. I will prepare two round-trip air tickets for you every year."

Zheng Songbai looked at Yuan Xia: "You are generous, so I agree."

Yuan Xia was elated: "Thank you Mr. Zheng! Don't worry, the salary package will definitely satisfy you!"

Zheng Songbai didn't talk about salary at all, he just asked, "When do I go to work?"

Yuan Xia said: "After the new year, come around March. Spring in our south is the most beautiful and comfortable season of the year. When the time comes, you can call me and buy a plane ticket. I will reimburse you for the travel expenses."

Zheng Songbai said, "Let's talk about it later."

Just when his wife came back from the opposite side, he said: "My wife, cook quickly. There are two children at home. I want to have a drink with them."

His wife is also a typical Northeast old lady, funny and humorous, looking at the two young handsome boys: "Hey, what kind of happy event happened to our family today, two golden phoenixes flew here, the two boys are so handsome. I'll cook, you go outside to buy some peanuts and come back to drink."

Yuan Xia hurriedly stood up: "Gong Zheng, Auntie, there's no need to go shopping for vegetables, I brought them here."

Yuan Xia took out the things she brought, besides tobacco, alcohol and canned dried fruit, there was also a steamed chicken, a pack of pork head meat and a pack of peanuts.

Zheng Songbai was so happy, he patted Yuan Xia: "You boy, you are really good at things, I like it, I like it! Come on, wife, just warm it up, peanuts should not need to be heated gone."

When I bought this before, Yu Xingyi still felt strange, Yuan Xia said: "I still need to buy some, maybe we can talk about dinner and let us eat. They still have to go out to buy vegetables. It's such a cold day, so troublesome."

Looking at it now, it really is a wise move.Of course, this is also the reason why Yuan Xia is familiar with Zheng Songbai's habits, he likes to drink a little wine, and every time he has to order peanuts and pork head meat.

The host and guest enjoyed the meal, and Yuan Xia and Yu Xingyi also drank some wine with them.

Before leaving, they left their contact information and asked Zheng Songbai to go to Yuecheng after the Chinese New Year.

The two left Zheng Songbai's house, went to the train station to buy tickets, and set off on the journey home that night. It was already the New Year's Eve, and it was almost New Year's Eve, so they had to go back to celebrate the New Year.

Yuan Xia and Yu Xingyi were very excited. This trip was very fruitful. Not only did they learn a lot from the visit, they also knew how to build their own factory in the future, and they also invited a capable general.

Yu Xingyi said: "It really feels like a divine help, how could it be so smooth?"

Yuan Xia said: "That's because we chose a good name, Xingyuan, we can travel far, far, that's why everything went so smoothly."

Yu Xingyi rolled his eyes with a smile at what he said.

Yuan Xia looked at the thick eyelashes on his eyelids, felt itchy in his heart, moved his fingers, really wanted to touch them.But no, it's in the car, I'll touch it when I get home.

When they got home, it was already the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, and the 29th New Year's Eve, it can only be said that it just happened to catch up.

This year, they all spent the Chinese New Year with Yu Xing's family.Bookstores are different from renting bookstores. Bookstores can close their doors when students are on vacation during the winter and summer vacations.

So before Yuan Xia left, he asked his grandfather and Yuan Qiu Chongyang to move to Yu Xing's family before the new year. Yu Xing would accompany them to celebrate the new year every year, and it was time for them to accompany him to celebrate the new year.

So when Yuanchun and Yuandong returned home during the winter vacation, they came to Yu Xing's family to clean up and move in.

When the two of them came back from Shenyang, the courtyard had been tidied up, the windows of the house had been wiped clean, and there were even a few more pots of flowers and plants, adding a touch of spring.

No one lives in the main room. Sisters Yuanqiu and Yuanchun live in the room where Yu Zhiwen's mother and son used to live in the west wing. Grandpa lives in the room next to them because it is closer to the toilet and is more convenient.

Yuan Dong and Chong Yang lived in Yuan Xia's room, and Yuan Xia and Yu Xing slept in the same room.

Once Yuan Xia and Yu Xing came back, the whole family was considered complete.

Everyone went to the streets to buy new year's goods that had not yet been purchased, and bought new clothes and shoes.

This year's Chinese New Year, the brothers and sisters will play together, and the grandfather will not participate.Each person must prepare at least one dish. If they don’t know how to cook, they must also provide ideas and ideas, and think of a dish name with a good meaning.

So there is Yu Xingyi's auspiciousness-white-cut chicken, more than every year in the summer-braised carp and smooth sailing-three cups of duck, fortune in the four seasons in the far autumn-braised pork knuckle and happy reunion-meat Ball soup, the lucky head of the winter-chopped pepper fish head and the lucky star-Ma Po tofu, the sweetness of the spring-sweet and sour pork ribs and the spring back to the earth-cold fungus and shredded lettuce.

Chongyang has a lot of ideas and novelty, but it is difficult to implement. Finally, under Yuan Xia's suggestion, he made a mixed fruit plate with apples, oranges and other fruits, called Bright Future.

Looking at the sumptuous and festive New Year's Eve dinner on this big table, Grandpa stroked his beard with joy and said a few nice words.It was a joy to see these children.

This year, they took a family portrait at Yu Xing's family for the first time.

1988 came to an end perfectly, and the busy 1989 is coming.
