Rebirth of science and technology to rejuvenate the country

Ma Dongfang said to his parents: "Tomorrow I will go to break up with him. Mom, tell the introducer for me, just say that we don't know enough to meet his marriage requirements, so let's not talk. He sent us I will return those things to him, and I won’t let him spend more than a glass of water.”

Ma Anmin has always been taciturn, and it was only after a long period of silence that he finally said: "That's fine, if you don't want to get married, don't get married, you are not old, so we will meet later. Mommy, go tell the introducer."

Li Yuying sighed heavily: "Okay."

The introducer was an old acquaintance of hers, and the conditions of the person she introduced to Dongfang were quite good.After graduating from high school, with a stable job, you need to look good, and you need to be tall and tall, and you can do things well.

The family conditions are better than theirs. The key is that there is a three-story building from the sky to the ground. At least they don't have to live in a small apartment like theirs, and they have to rent a house outside.

Ma Jianjun said: "I don't want my sister to marry, why do I have to marry someone else's family?"

The youngest, Ma Weihong, also said: "Sister, don't marry so soon, I can't bear you."

Li Yuying smiled and asked her youngest son: "Your sister is not married, will you raise her in the future?"

Ma Jianjun is full of pride: "I will take care of me. When I graduate, I will learn to drive from my father. I will buy a car and pull goods by myself like Brother Wenxiong, and earn a lot of money. Can I still afford to support my sister?"

Wenxiong was the owner of Yuanxia who drove a tractor during the summer vacation. Ma Jianjun didn't study well and wanted to drop out of school and drive a long time ago.

Ma Dongfang's eyes were a little red, and he said with a smile: "Sister, I don't need you to support me. I can work and earn money by myself. I just want to find a more suitable person to marry. Don't worry about urging me to get married."

Seeing that their family members were happy and happy, Yuan Xia couldn't bear to disturb them, so he got up and said goodbye: "Auntie, I will trouble you with those clothes."

Li Yuying also got up and said, "What's the trouble? I'll come and measure you later, and I'll make it for you when I have time. You just don't mind that Auntie can't do well."

Yuan Xia smiled and said: "How come, Auntie's dexterity makes everything look good."

Hu Meilian should have made their brother and sister's clothes, but Hu Meilian didn't think of this at all. After she married into the Guo family, she rarely came back to visit their brother and sister. Probably because she was afraid that people in the factory would gossip, she threw the five children to her elderly father-in-law , even if it was not entirely her original intention, it would inevitably be criticized by others.

Naturally, Yuan Xia would not take the initiative to find Hu Meilian, he would rather trouble Li Yuying.

When Yuan Xia came out, Li Yuying also came out, Yuan Xia thought she was here to measure their siblings.

When he got outside, Li Yuying called him: "Xia Xia, some time ago someone from our factory met your mother in the hospital."

Yuan Xia looked at her: "Is she sick?"

Li Yuying shook her head: "No, she went for a checkup, she should be pregnant."

Yuan Xia was stunned for a moment, she and Guo Zhiqiang didn't have a child in her previous life, he smiled and said, "That's not very good." After giving birth to Guo Zhiqiang's child, she can truly integrate into that family.

Li Yuying nodded: "I think so too. No matter how much she puts her heart and soul into raising their children, they may not buy it. Now that they have their own children, the surname Guo can no longer treat her as an outsider. It's just hard for you brothers and sisters." several."

Yuan Xia smiled indifferently: "Auntie, we brothers and sisters don't feel bitter, as long as everyone is healthy and healthy, after I graduate in a few years, everything will be fine."

Li Yuying said: "It's a heavy burden for you to bring your younger siblings."

Yuan Xia smiled and said, "I don't think so."

Li Yuying looked at him and sighed softly: "Your personality is very much like your father. By the way, I have to measure you. I'll go back and get a tape measure."

Li Yuying came over to measure the size of the Yuanxia brothers and sisters, and deliberately enlarged each person's size, so that even if they were taller, they could still wear them.

It was almost ten o'clock when Ma Jianshe came back. When he saw Yuan Xia, he complained to him with a sad face: "The life of repeating the exam is really not human. I will study this time. If I don't pass the exam, I won't repeat it!"

"Don't worry, you'll definitely pass the exam." Yuan Xia looked at his friend, but he got fatter after repeating the exam, and couldn't help teasing him, "I think you should have a good mentality, you've gained weight."

Ma Jianshe said: "Don't mention it. My mother is afraid that I will be under too much pressure to repeat the exam. She often cooks all kinds of delicious food for me and feeds me like a pig. I sit and study every day after eating. Do you think I can not get fat?"

Yuan Xia laughed and comforted him: "It's pretty good. Only by eating and sleeping well can you learn well."

This winter vacation, Yuan Xia didn't go to make money, he stayed at home looking after the store, while studying, while accompanying his younger siblings.

Good habits for children need to be developed from an early age, and wrong habits must be corrected in time.

Grandpa is a very, very good elder, but he loves his children a little too much. He thinks that his grandsons have no parents at such a young age, and they are intergenerational relatives.

Yuan Xia is different, he has high demands on his younger brothers and sisters, he not only wants to bring them up, but also trains them to become talents.

So these days, from Yuanqiu to Chongyang, they are being asked by Yuanxia.

Learn to be correct from posture to attitude, do things from beginning to end, persevere, return things to their original places, not picky eaters when eating, let alone choose dishes in a bowl, pay attention to personal hygiene, etc.

It's good that Yuan Qiu and Yuan Dong are a little older, the habit has already been formed, he hasn't been at home for half a year, not much has changed.

Yuanchun and Chongyang are small, they are more favored, and they have a lot of bad habits, especially Chongyang.

Yuan Xia criticizes very strictly and asks for correction.

Yuan Dehou looked at his elder grandson educating his younger siblings, feeling helpless and relieved, Yuan Xia, the elder brother, was too competent.

After Yuan Xia arrived home, he wrote a letter to Yu Xingyi, confirming with him the specific time to arrive in Suyang, and wrote the specific route to his home and store in the letter.

The provincial mail was very fast, about a week later, Yuan Xia received a reply letter from Yu Xingyi, in which he said that he should be able to have a holiday on February 2th, and if he did, he would be able to arrive in Suyang on the same day.

Yuan Xia looked through the calendar and found that it was amazing. This year's Chinese New Year is very late. The Spring Festival is already on February 2th, and the 16th is the 14th of the twelfth lunar month, which is the day before New Year's Eve.

These days, Yuan Xia has already prepared the New Year's goods one after another. To be honest, there are not many preparations. The supplies are limited, and there are not many things that can be bought. I bought some candies, red dates and the like.

However, the situation this year is a little better than last year, and the policy has been loosened. Many farmers near the county town brought their own chickens, ducks, vegetables and fruits to sell in the city.

Grandpa didn't say anything when he saw him hoarding things at home. The family usually saves money on food and expenses. It's Chinese New Year, and it's not too much to eat something good.

Adults look forward to farming, and children look forward to the New Year, isn't it because they can eat meat during the New Year.

The agricultural machinery factory’s welfare this year is less than last year’s. It only distributes a box of oranges, and the local oranges cost only a few cents a catty, which is incomparable with apples that cost a few cents a catty.

Yuan Xia heard everyone complaining that the welfare was not as good as every year.

The wages of the workers are paid by the state, and the other benefits of the workers are paid by the factory. The annual business income, after deducting the cost, is enough to pay the state. The rest is to give the workers bonuses, holiday benefits, and repair various supporting facilities. Wait, the less benefits paid, it means that the efficiency of the factory is not as good as before.

Yuan Xia knew that the agricultural machinery factory would not be able to last long. The household contract responsibility system has been implemented in the countryside, and farmland production is contracted to households. In a short period of time, a single farmer cannot afford agricultural machinery.

A large number of products of the agricultural machinery factory will be unsalable, and the workers will soon be laid off. In a few years, the equipment in the factory will be sold as scrap by bidding.

He is witnessing the end of an era, but there is nothing to be sad about. The ebb and flow is the iron law of development, and the new era will be more vibrant.

People who have lost their original protective umbrella will experience short-term loss and bewilderment. If they can seize the opportunity, they can still be reborn.

Two days before the Chinese New Year, Yuan Xia told his grandfather and younger siblings that a friend he met in Yuecheng was coming to their house for the Chinese New Year.

Yuan Dehou asked, "Is that your classmate?"

"No, it's the friend who repaired the machine I told you last time, from the Yuecheng Bearing Factory. His parents work in a very remote place. His grandparents are gone, so he is alone at home. I invited him to come to our house for the New Year." Yuan Xia explained.

"Come so far, he must spend the night at our house, then where does he live?" Yuan Dong asked.

"I've already figured it out. I'll add two more stools next to our bed, spread two bed boards, and the three of us will sleep together." Yuan Xia said.

Yuan Dong said, "Does your friend not mind?"

Yuan Xia smiled: "What does he care about, the guest can follow the owner to understand?" If Yu Xingyi doesn't want to live, then he will go out and live in a guest house.

The next day, February 2th, the weather was fine, and Yuan Xia and Yuan Qiu cleaned at home.

He didn't know where Yu Xing would go first, his grandfather and a few children were still looking at the rented bookstore, and the bookstore wouldn't be closed until tomorrow.

He was cleaning the window when he suddenly heard someone calling his name: "Yuan Xia, Yuan Xia, your friend is looking for you."

Yuan Xia was so excited that he almost fell off the stool. He quickly jumped down and looked downstairs. It was Ma Jianshe who was calling him from downstairs. The person standing next to him was not Yu Xingyi, who was it?

Yu Xingyi was looking up Yuan Xia's figure, when he saw him, he laughed and raised his hand to wave him.

Yuan Xia threw down the rag in his hand and ran downstairs, he really came directly to the factory.

Ma Jianshe came back from playing ball with someone outside. When he entered the gate, he heard someone looking for Yuan Xia, so he couldn't help asking, and when he learned that it was Yuan Xia's friend, he brought him in: "Where is Yuan Xia?" My buddy, from childhood to adulthood, has a very close relationship. He lives next door to me, come with me. Where did you come from? Why did you bring so many things. "

Yu Xingyi followed the enthusiastic Ma Jianshe in: "Thank you. I'm from Yuecheng. Is Yuanxia at home?"

"You are his college classmate? He is at home. I originally wanted to ask him to play ball, but he said he needed to clean up. He is so busy now that he seldom goes out with me." Ma Jianshe is not without regrets. After his mother remarried, he bid farewell to the children's world completely, and became a steady adult who would always have things to do. Unfortunately, he couldn't help himself.

Yu Xing looked at the environment Yuan Xia lived in since he was a child, it was a typical Soviet-style factory, and the buildings were all about practicality, with little regard for aesthetics.

In the entire factory compound, the concrete ground is hardened, and only a small part of the place has some flowers, plants and trees.

He was looking at it when he suddenly heard Ma Jianshe shouting, "Yuan Xia, Yuan Xia, your friend is looking for you."

He looked up to search for Yuan Xia's figure, and just saw a familiar figure on the balcony on the third floor, before he could see the face clearly, he turned and ran downstairs.Yu Xing laughed.

In less than a minute, Yuan Xia was already standing in front of Yu Xingyi, panting, "Xingyi, you're here. By train or car? Why are you carrying so many things?"

As soon as Yu Xing carried his bag, he also carried a luggage bag and a cardboard box with the word "Apple" written on it.

Yu Xing smiled and said, "I brought all the things that were distributed in my factory for the Chinese New Year."

Yuan Xia didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Bring them all? You really are."

Ma Jianshe was a little curious. Yu Xingyi was not Yuan Xia's classmate: "How do you know each other?"

Yuan Xia said: "I went to the factory to study with my professor, and we met when we were repairing machines together."

"Oh." Ma Jianshe couldn't help but look at Yu Xingyi again. This man is tall and thin, and his face is the standard handsome face that girls like. He is like a star in a movie pictorial. I didn't expect him to be a worker. .

Yuan Xia took the box of apples and led Yu Xingyi back home: "This is my eldest sister Yuan Qiu. Xiao Qiu, this is Brother Yu."

Yuan Qiu was a little shy when he saw a stranger, he took a look and then lowered his head: "Brother Yu."

Yu Xingyi nodded to her and said hello: "Hi Xiaoqiu, I saw your photo at your brother's place."

Yuan Qiu blushed, turned around and entered the room to pour boiling water.

Yuan Xia moved the things into the house, and pulled a stool for Yu Xingyi: "Sit down. My grandfather and Dongdong are both in the store. Business is good during the winter vacation, and the store will only close tomorrow. Let's go there in a while, let's cook The guy is still there and hasn’t been brought back.”

Most of the cooking belongings here at home have been moved there. I haven't started cooking for a long time. I will move the things over there at night. After all, this is my home.

Yu Xing couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Okay."

He had seen Yuan Xia's house was small and tidy, and he guessed in his heart where he would arrange for himself to sleep at night.

Yu Xingyi took out the things he brought, besides a box of beer, there were several catties of pork belly with pork ribs, one air-dried chicken and one duck, as well as nougat, brown sugar cubes and so on.

Seeing him constantly digging out things, Yuan Xia couldn't help laughing at him: "Why didn't you move your house here too?"

Yu Xingyi said that these were all issued by the factory, and he didn't know the benefits of the bearing factory anyway, and he didn't know if he bought them with his own money.

Yuan Xia knew that calling Yu Xing to come over for the New Year was definitely earned by himself, and these things were no less than the New Year's goods he had prepared, and his younger brothers and sisters would definitely be overjoyed.

But Yu Xingyi said: "I also sent out some rice and oil, that was too heavy to carry, so I didn't take it."

Yuan Xia laughed loudly after hearing this: "You really want to bring it? You just come to my house as a guest for a few days, so you don't need to bring so many things."

"How much can I eat alone? You have a lot of brothers and sisters in your family. It's fun when everyone eats together. Thank you for inviting me to celebrate the New Year. I haven't had such a lively New Year for many years."

Hearing what he said, Yuan Xia couldn't help but feel sad: "I'm sure you will have a lively year this year. I still have a little finishing work, and I'll go to the store after I clean up. Xiao Qiu, you go to cook first, we Come over later, two."

Yuan Qiu nodded and agreed: "Okay."

Yuan Xia climbed onto the stool and continued to wipe the glass, while Yu Xing stood aside and rolled up his sleeves: "Let me help you."

"No, it will be fine soon. Don't get your hands dirty." Yuan Xia said.

As a result, when he came down to set the rag, Yu Xingyi had already snatched it away: "I'll rub you to wipe it."

Yuan Xia laughed: "Okay."

Neighbors looked at them curiously, and someone couldn't help asking: "Yuan Xia, is there a visitor?"

Yuan Xia smiled and said: "Yes, my friend, he came to my house to celebrate the New Year."

The neighbors couldn't help but praise: "The young man is really nice, and he even helps with cleaning."

Yu Xingyi was a little embarrassed to be praised.

Yuan Xia looked at his slightly red ears and smiled even more happily.

The two cleaned up, and Yuan Xia separated the bones from the meat that Yu Xingyi brought, and took them to the bookstore: "I'll make you braised pork ribs at noon today."

Yu Xing smiled and said, "I have eaten braised pork, but I haven't eaten braised pork ribs yet."

"Then let you experience Yuan's Braised Pork Ribs today!"

Yuan Xia knows that people love to eat meat these days, and no one wants bones. When cutting meat, the butcher will put the bones on top of the meat and sell it together, and they will be disgusted by the meat buyers.

It doesn't look like later, bones are much more expensive than meat. It won't take many years for everyone to live such a good life. You don't have to worry about whether you will be hungry, but whether you will eat healthy.

Yu Xingyi and Yuan Xia arrived at the bookstore, it was already noon, and there were still many children reading in the store.

As soon as Yu Xing looked at the small shop, he found it very interesting, did Yuan Xia rely on this small shop to support his family?He really has ideas.

Yuan Xia went to cook, and asked his brothers and sisters to greet Yu Xingyi.

The younger brothers and sisters are very enthusiastic, except for Yuan Qiu, the adolescent girl is a bit shy and timid.

Yuan Dong, Yuan Chun and Chong Yang chattered non-stop around Yu Xingyi, asking about Yuecheng and the world beyond Yuecheng, asking him if he had read these comic books in their store, etc.

Yu Xingyi took the opportunity to ask Yuan Xia about some things, to see what kind of person Yuan Xia was in the eyes of his brothers and sisters.

Obviously, the little ones adore the elder brother very much. In their eyes, the elder brother is omnipotent.

A strong smell of meat came from the back of the cubicle, and Yu Xingyi couldn't help but went in: "It smells so good, it seems that your craftsmanship is really good."

Yuan Xia said: "It's not bad. Are you hungry? Just wait a while, if you're hungry, you can eat the soy sauce cake baked by my grandpa, it's also delicious." It is quite delicious, and it is the most popular variety in the store at present.

Yu Xing touched his stomach and said, "No, I want to save my stomach to eat your braised pork ribs."

Yuan Xia smiled and said: "That's fine, just wait a little longer."

Yuan Xia's braised pork ribs finally arrived on the table, let alone dark red in color and rich in aroma, making people salivate.

The taste is also first-class and delicious. The only disadvantage is that the quantity is small. If one person does not pick up two pieces, it will be gone. There is no way, there are fewer bones and more people.

Yuan Dong licked his lips, still wanting to say: "I didn't expect bones to be so delicious. Bones are sold cheaply. Let's buy bones and eat them next time."

Yuan Xia said: "There must be flesh on the bones."

Yu Xingyi said: "Next time we divide the meat in the factory, I will tell them that we only need bones. Then everyone will have enough to eat."

Yuan Xia turned her head to look at him and smiled, as if he could bring the bones for them to eat.
