Rebirth of science and technology to rejuvenate the country

When Yuan Xia came back from fetching hot water, Yu Xingyi had already woken up, cleaned up the filth in front of the bed, and was mopping the floor with a mop.

Yuan Xia hurriedly said: "Put it down, I'll do it, your stomach still hurts."

Yu Xingyi gave him a weak smile: "It's okay. I feel much better already." He felt that he was too embarrassing for Yuan Xia.

Yuan Xia put down the thermos bottle, snatched the mop from his hand: "I'll do it, you go wash your face."

He mopped the floor clean a few times, took it to the tap to wash it, and mopped it twice before throwing the mop in the bathroom.

Yu Xingyi washed his hands by the faucet, Yuan Xia went to wash his hands, the water from the faucet was icy cold, his fingers hurt from washing.Yu Xingyi was talking to him with toothpaste in his mouth, pointing at the hot water bottle and then at the basin.

Yuan Xia understood what he meant in seconds, poured some hot water into the basin, mixed some cold water, and soaked his hands.

As soon as Yu Xing finished rinsing his mouth, Yuan Xia poured out the water in the basin and poured water for him to wash his face: "I don't care if I ruin my body like this again in the future."

Yu Xingyi smiled shyly: "I won't."

He was so happy that Yuan Xia would come to see him, seeing him, all the uneasiness and panic dissipated, only joy remained, if he had known this, he should not have rejected him, and should have gone to his house for the New Year.

As long as he doesn't tell, Yuan Xia won't know, let him treat himself as a friend all the time, and he can always be by his side as a friend.

Yuan Xia waited for him to wash his face before going back to the dormitory together: "Is your stomach still hurting? Let's see a doctor first."

"A little more." Yu Xingyi's stomach still hurts, but when Yuan Xia came, he felt that it didn't hurt so much, and he couldn't make Yuan Xia worry too much about himself.

"Then go to see a doctor first, and then go to eat. I will ride a car, you take a car." Yuan Xia found the key, picked up the wine bottle on the table, looked at it, glanced at Yu Xingyi, and said, "OK Ah, Yu Xingyi, 53% sorghum wine, if you are capable, you are already drinking high-grade wine."

Yu Xingyi waved his hands in great embarrassment: "I thought that being drunk would relieve my worries, but after drinking it, my worries were not relieved, and troubles arose instead. Drinking was a mistake, and I won't drink anymore."

Yuan Xia snorted coldly: "It's good if you know, don't look at your own weight, and learn how to get drunk like others. And don't smoke this cigarette, smoking is harmful to your health, can't you see such a big word?"

Yu Xing smiled guiltyly: "I don't smoke anymore."

He picked it up and was about to throw it in the trash, but Yuan Xia took it: "I bought it with money, give it to those in need."

Yu Xingyi said, "Take it."

Yuan Xia threw the wine in the trash can and took Yu Xingyi to see a doctor.

The school's infirmary was not yet open, so they went to the affiliated hospital of the medical school opposite.

During Chinese New Year, the doctor still has to go to work to clean up the mess of some people who eat and drink to death, some get stomach problems from eating and drinking, some get drunk and start fighting, and some have their fingers and eyes destroyed by firecrackers... ...You said that the doctor is in a good mood when he sees these bad things during the Chinese New Year?

Naturally, Yu Xingyi was criticized by the doctor on duty. The doctor has a bad temper these days, so it is impossible for him to get better at this time.Yu Xingyi could only pretend that his grandson listened obediently, but in fact it was nothing serious, so he prescribed some stomach medicine.

Yu Xingyi was particularly cooperative today, he knew he was wrong, he would do whatever Yuan Xia said, he dared not point east and west, for fear of making him unhappy.

Coming out of the hospital, Yuan Xia looked for a place to eat, walked around the school, and finally found a small restaurant that was open. In fact, they didn't open for business, but they lived there.

Yuan Xiayang asked the other party to cook two light dishes for them, and they would casually deal with them for lunch all day.

While eating, Yu Xingyi finally asked: "When do you go to work?"

Yuan Xia looked at him: "I'm going to work tomorrow, and I have to leave at night at the latest."

Yu Xing, who was eating with relish just now, suddenly felt that the food in his mouth was tasteless: "So fast?"

Yuan Xia saw the light in his eyes disappear in an instant, and felt distressed: "Yes, the vacation is too short. You are not in good health, I will call to ask for a day off."

Yu Xing shook his head: "It's okay, I just have a stomach problem, it's not a serious illness, you can go to work."

Yuan Xia looked at him: "Others gain weight during the New Year, but you actually lost weight during the New Year. Don't take your body seriously. Seeing you ruin your body makes me feel bad, and I don't feel comfortable going back to work."

As soon as Yu Xing heard what he said, he said, "I will definitely eat well in the future."

Emotions really affect appetite. Ever since he understood his feelings for Yuan Xia and knew that it was beyond reach, he felt as if his life had lost its momentum, and he ate mechanically every day. He didn't eat much, and lost a lot of weight. , Irregular diet and drunkenness during the Chinese New Year period directly hooked up stomach problems.

Yuan Xia said: "If you still have stomach problems, I'll go directly to the sea and return to Yuecheng to watch over your meals."

Yu Xing blinked his eyes: "Do you mean to resign?" You can often hear this word recently.

"Yes, resign and start a business."

Yu Xing hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't worry, let's wait for you to judge the title."

Yuan Xia nodded: "That's what I planned, it depends on whether someone is worthy or not."

Yu Xing smiled when he heard the words, and raised his hand to say, "I will definitely cooperate with you."

The time they met was only a few hours. Yuan Xia didn't even eat dinner, so he took the bus to the station. He had to arrive at Jianning early, and the bus stopped when it was late. He didn't want to walk two hours on the way.

Yu Xingyi insisted on taking him to the station, even though Yuan Xia said he was still sick and refused to let him go, but when he refused, Yu Xingyi's expression really made him unbearable, like an abandoned dog, so he had no choice but to agree.

Yuan Xia entered the station, looked back at Yu Xingyi who was still standing at the entrance, waved his hand at him, motioning him to go back, Yu Xing nodded, then turned and left.

Yuan Xia sat on the bench in the waiting hall, watching the pedestrians coming and going, but his eyes were empty. He was thankful for his decision to come, if he didn't come, he wouldn't know that Yu Xingyi was suffering.

Yu Xingyi is a very self-disciplined person. He seldom loses his temper like this. The reason why he loses his temper like this must not only be because he is homesick and lonely. He is not so fragile, but more like a broken love. Could it be that he has realized that To his feelings for himself?

Thinking of this, Yuan Xia couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, this was earlier than he expected, if he knew it earlier, he should have teased him a few more words.

After a while, the corners of Yuan Xia's mouth drooped again, if Yu Xingyi liked him so early, then he would have endured much hardship before.

At that time, I was afraid of gossip, didn't dare to face my feelings, and even wanted him to marry someone else. How painful it must have been in his heart at that time. If he hadn't rejected him, the accident might not have happened, and he wouldn't have brought Pain and regret leave.

Thinking of Yu Xingyi's departure, the heart-piercing pain he had experienced swept over again, enveloping Yuan Xia, he buried his face in his hands, the pain was beyond his control.

Until someone pushed Yuan Xia on the shoulder: "Young man, it's time to get in the car."

Yuan Xia just came back to his senses, his palms were full of tears, he was panting heavily, wiped his face carelessly, got up and left in a hurry, he didn't want others to see him losing his composure.

The train was driving in the night, Yuan Xia looked out the window at Yuecheng, which was gradually going away, fortunately, fortunately, it was a comeback, this time, he would not let both of them regret.

After returning from Yuecheng, the communication between Yuan Xia and Yu Xingyi returned to normal, Yu Xingyi no longer shows up as hot and cold, every time he writes a letter, although he is not full of enthusiasm, at least it is like a spring breeze.

When Yuan Xia wrote back, he would occasionally tease him with a few words, which aroused people's imagination, but they were not too straightforward.He still has to wait for Yu Xingyi to take the initiative to confess his thoughts.

In 1984, going to sea became a hot word. Many people working in government agencies, state-owned enterprises and institutions were impacted by individual economics and lured by huge economic benefits, and began to go to sea to do business.

Working in government agencies and state-owned enterprises and institutions, the monthly salary is only a few tens of yuan, plus various bonuses and overtime pay, it is also sad to be a hundred yuan.However, those jobless people who were once looked down upon by others became rich one by one, and their living conditions became richer to the naked eye. Some even bought Santana.

You know, a Santana is priced at 20 yuan, but it is driven by the unemployed people who once looked down upon it. It is hard not to make people jealous.

20 yuan, this is the income that can only be earned after working in government agencies and state-owned enterprises for several lifetimes!

Yuan Xia also receives similar information from various channels every day, colleagues around, classmates and friends who correspond.It is true that none of them have gone into the sea yet, but they are envious of those who go into the sea and make a lot of money.

There are also people who think that the world is in a mess, it's a bit crazy, it's unreasonable that the one who made the atomic bomb is not as good as the one who sells tea eggs!

Obviously, the new water sources introduced by the reform and opening up have finally begun to stir up this pool of still water in China.

Some people think that the economy has become active, while others think that people's hearts have become impetuous. In short, everyone has their own views.

Yuan Xia is working step by step while planning his career.

He and Yu Xingyi started from the production of screws in the past.It's not that he didn't think about doing other things, such as the bearings that Yu Xingyi was familiar with.But the equipment needed to produce the bearings was too much and too expensive for them to afford at first.

By chance, I bought some obsolete old screw production equipment at the waste recycling station. Both of them, relying on their excellent technology, repaired these equipment to make them usable, and used the start-up funds to buy some second-hand equipment. The assembly line was assembled, earning them the first pot of gold.

Of course, Yuan Xia is still willing to start with a familiar industry, but this time the starting point may be set a little higher.

The spring breeze of reform blew all over China, and it finally blew to the Hongxing Iron and Steel Works.

One day in late May, Yuan Xia was called to a meeting. The participants were all the leading cadres in the factory, even the team leaders of each group, and some technical backbones of party members who were similar to Yuan Xia.

This meeting was initiated by Liang Hongchang. The purpose was to discuss the reform plan of the Red Star Factory. I hope everyone can speak freely and offer suggestions for the reform and development of the factory.

Tang Guofeng obviously did not agree with such an enlarged meeting, and believed that the fate of the factory should be decided by several factory leaders.

Liang Hongchang was very strong, and he was a bit aggressive: "Comrade Tang Guofeng knows best that the efficiency of the Red Star Factory has been worsening year after year. If there is no way to change it, I am afraid that in the future we will only be able to drink the northwest wind."

The implication is that Tang Guofeng's incompetence caused the factory to become more and more depressed.

Tang Guofeng was very angry: "I have to ask Comrade Liang Hongchang, why is the output of the factory decreasing year by year?"

Liang Hongchang said: "The equipment is aging. Some technologies are outdated, and the products produced cannot meet the market demand and cannot be sold, so we have to stop production."

Tang Guofeng said: "Isn't there an equipment department? Outdated equipment can't be repaired and rebuilt?"

Liang Hongchang stared at Tang Guofeng for a while, and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that the factory manager knows the equipment very well, why don't you improve it."

Yuan Xia was also powerless when he heard it. It is true that the people in the equipment department are omnipotent, and they can even create something out of nothing.Did Tang Guofeng deliberately anger Liang Hongchang, or did he really not understand?

Qian Youfu, head of the HR department, came out to smooth things over: "Let's not discuss this issue with the two factory directors for now. Everyone should give their opinions on how to improve the efficiency of the factory."

In fact, from Yuan Xia's point of view, the problem of the steel plant is easy to solve, and there is no need to worry about the raw materials. It is nothing more than positioning the market well, producing qualified steel, and then finding the right market to sell it.

The market for extensive products and semi-finished products such as steel is much easier to expand than the more refined terminal market.

Yuan Xia was named and spoke by Liang Hongchang. He said a little bit of his own opinion, and also mentioned the contract system.

His proposal had a heated discussion at the time, but the final result was still nothing. I don’t know if it was because people were afraid of taking risks, or for other reasons. In short, there was no follow-up.

Some changes have been made in the factory, but in Yuan Xia's view, it is a palliative rather than a permanent solution, which may have some effect in the short term, but in fact cannot solve the fundamental problem.

In June, Yu Xingyi defended his graduation thesis, and shortly after the defense, the result of his job assignment came out: stay in school.

This is not beyond Yuan Xia's expectations. After ten years of sports, there is a serious talent gap. Even if the last graduate student before the sports, even if he is 22 years old, he is still over [-] years old.

The vast majority of university professors are grey-haired and old, and some have already reached the age of retirement, but because there is no one to take over their teaching positions, they are still working hard in their teaching positions. What these old intellectuals are most worried about is Knowledge gap.

Yu Xingyi is the first batch of postgraduates trained by YU since the resumption of the college entrance examination. Talents are scarce. There are only a dozen in total. Except for a few with average abilities, the rest are retained.

When Yuan Xia heard the news, he was very happy for Yu Xingyi, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. It seems that he will be the only one to take care of Xingyuan Machinery in the future.He couldn't tell Yu Xingyi to quit his job at the school and come to manage the company with him.

Yuan Xia wrote to express her most sincere congratulations to Yu Xingyi.

In a few days, Yu Xingyi came to look for Yuan Xia.

When Yuan Xia saw him, his first words were: "Congratulations, my future Professor Yu."

Yu Xingyi quickly reached out and covered his mouth: "Don't call it that, it's a joke!"

Yuan Xia took his hand: "What are you joking about? Sooner or later."

Yu Xing looked at Yuan Xia, and sighed melancholy: "I don't know if I will continue."

"Why don't you continue? Don't you want to be a teacher?" Yuan Xia asked.

Yu Xing frowned and looked at Yuan Xia: "But we have agreed to start a company together."

Yuan Xia laughed: "Which law stipulates that teachers cannot start a company? Let's follow the original saying, I am in charge of production and management, and you are in charge of technology research and development."

Yu Xingyi frowned: "Is that so?"

"Yes. If you are doing research and development, don't you also need to make the design into a real thing? I can help you solve this problem. As long as you don't hold an administrative position in the school." Yuan Xia said.

Yu Xing smiled: "Yes, that's great."

Yuan Xia also laughed: "Then you are completely on vacation now?"

Yu Xing nodded: "Yes, just wait until August to report to school."

"That's really great. How about I resign now and accompany you to Xinjiang." Yuan Xia said.

Yu Xing was startled: "Now? Don't, haven't you worked for less than a year? You haven't got the title of engineer yet."

Yuan Xia's face was full of regret: "That's right. Then go next summer vacation? But I'm worried that you may not have time then."

"Should be there, let's squeeze it. Don't resign yet, wait until you get the title." Yu Xingyi emphasized again.

Yuan Xia laughed: "Medium!"

This time Yu Xingyi stayed here for half a month in Yuan Xia before leaving. After leaving Yuan Xia, he went to Suyang alone to visit Yuan Xia's family.

He also lived in Suyang for a few days, helping out with what he could do, such as moving some heavy objects and tutoring his younger siblings with their homework.

Yuan Dehou didn't treat Yu Xingyi as an outsider either, he was the eldest grandson's best friend and a poor child with no family, so he treated him like his own grandson.

The younger brothers and sisters also like Brother Xingyi very much. He has a good temper and is generous with his shots. Every time he comes, there will be all kinds of delicious food.

Facing the Olympiad questions that Yuan Dong asked, Yu Xingyi was amazed at the depth of his learning. He could only solve some math and physics problems for these questions, but he was completely helpless in chemistry, but Yuan Dong had already done almost the entire book Yes, it looks like I can really get into Tsinghua University and Peking University.

Yu Xingyi has another purpose in coming to Suyang this time, which is to take Yuan Dong to Beijing to play.

Yuan Dong failed to go to Beijing last summer because Liu Yang's reply was too late and the time was too short, so Yuan Xia planned to let Yuan Dong go again this year.

As soon as Yu Xing heard that he planned to let Yuan Dong go to Beijing alone, he volunteered to take Yuan Dong there: "I also want to visit Beijing."

Yuan Xia looked up to the sky and shouted: "Ah——I also want to go to Beijing!"

Yu Xingyi looked at him and laughed: "There will be opportunities in the future, when you are free, let's go play together, I will find the way for you first."

Yuan Xia's face was full of reconciliation: "Okay."

When Yuan Dong was on vacation, Yu Xingyi said to Yuan Dehou: "Grandpa, I want to take Dongdong to Yuecheng for a few days, and ask him to help me with some things."

Yuan Dehou said, "What's the matter?"

Yu Xingyi lied to him: "Yuanxia asked a friend to send me something from Wenzhou, but I have never sold anything, and I want Dongdong to help me sell it."

Yuan Dehou was very familiar with the place name of Wenzhou: "Did Haibo send it to you? Is he doing well now?" Si Haibo lived in their house for a long time, and he was deeply impressed.

"Yes, that's him. He's doing well now, and his business is getting bigger and bigger." Yu Xingyi said.

"Then go, Dongdong will follow along to help, don't make trouble for your brother Xingyi." Yuan Dehou told him.

"Understood, grandpa!" Yuan Dong fully agreed.

After getting the train ticket, Yuan Dong said in surprise: "Brother Xingyi, why is it a ticket to Beijing?"

Yu Xingyi said with a smile, "Just go to Beijing."

"Why are you going to Beijing? Aren't you going to Yuecheng to help you sell things?"

"I don't have anything to sell, I lied to grandpa. Your brother said he wanted you to go to Beijing to play, and I wanted to go too, so I took you with me."

Yuan Dong hugged Yu Xingyi's shoulder and shook violently: "Brother Xingyi, you are so kind!"

Yu Xingyi said: "Don't shake me, it's your brother's favor, I'm just giving you a favor by the way."

When they went to Beijing with Yu Xing, they naturally didn't need to look for Liu Yang, they stayed in the hotel directly, and then began to tour Beijing.

The first stop is not Tianmen and Anmen, but Tsinghua University and Peking University. This is the primary purpose of their trip, so that Yuandong can feel the charm of China's first university.

Looking at the campuses of Tsinghua University and Peking University, Yuandong immediately forgot about Fudan University: "Brother Xingyi, is the university so big? The dormitories and classrooms are too far apart, and the classrooms are also far apart. The class is not a fixed classroom, if the two classrooms are far apart, wouldn’t it be late?”

They don't have bicycles, and they measure the two campuses with their legs. It is not an exaggeration to say that their feet hurt from walking.

Yu Xingyi said, "It's best to buy a bicycle."

"That's too expensive! A car costs more than 200. If I come here to go to school, I will run there every day." Yuan Dong said.

Yu Xingyi looked at a lot of dilapidated bicycles parked in the shed: "Old bicycles should be very cheap. Some graduates can't take their bicycles back with them. It's thousands of miles away."

Yuan Dong nodded: "That's true."

After the visit, Yu Xingyi asked, "Do you want to go to Tsinghua University or Peking University?"

Yuan Dong laughed: "Can we all go? I like them all!"

Yu Xingyi laughed loudly: "You are really greedy, kid. But it's not impossible, you can study for an undergraduate degree in one school, and take a graduate degree in another school, and you can study in both schools."

Yuan Dong said, "I'm just kidding. I want to study electronic engineering. It seems that Tsinghua University is better."

"Correct."

Yuan Dong raised his hand: "Then it's decided, Tsinghua University!"

"Come on!"

When I arrived in Beijing, I naturally had to go and see Liu Yang.

They found Liu Yang's house based on the address provided by Yuan Xia, and found that his family lived in a large compound, with a family of five squeezed into two rooms, and the accommodation conditions were not much better than Yuan Xia's house.

Liu Yang has moved out of his home and lives in the dormitory of the factory: "This is how Beijing is. There are too many people and too few houses, so there is no place to live. But our factory is already building a dormitory for employees, and the houses are allocated equally. That's good. But it's based on seniority, and I don't know how long it will take to get assigned! Sometimes I really want to go to sea!" He said here and sighed.

Yu Xing smiled and said: "Yuan Xia said that your factory has a very good future, if you work hard, you will become the backbone leader of a large state-owned enterprise in the future."

Liu Yang pursed his mouth: "Take his good words, I hope it can really be like that!"
