Rebirth of science and technology to rejuvenate the country

Liu Yang also did his best to be a landlord, and called a taxi driver, and took Yu Xingyi and Yuan Dong to visit several famous scenic spots.

It was the first time for Yuan Dong to ride in a car, so he was very excited.

Liu Yang's childhood has the characteristics of a typical Beijing taxi driver, and he is very talkative.

While chatting, Yuan Dong learned that the price of a new Santana car was 20 yuan, and his jaw almost dropped: "So much money?! It's too much, can ordinary people earn so much money in a lifetime?"

Liu Yangfa's novel: "Don't even think about working in a unit, it is only possible for individuals who do business."

Yu Xingyi said: "This car is not worth the price. German Volkswagen is the first to eat crabs. The price of a Santana is not worth 20 anyway. It's just that he is the only one in the entire Chinese market. Naturally, he is asking for a lot of money." The common people have no choice, and those who can afford it will naturally give as much as they want.”

Regarding the price of Santana, he and Yuan Xia also discussed, and agreed that Santana is not worth the price.

They have learned about some foreign car markets, even if it is a more advanced brand, it can sell less than 20 cars abroad.

Such an unreasonable price was snapped up by people. It was just that some people in the country were willing to use this to show their status. It was purely to pay for vanity.

Liu Yang’s Fa Xiao drove a red flag car that had been sold out many times. In fact, it was very dilapidated. Even so, his business was very good. , I can earn hundreds of dollars a month. Yang Zi told me that he worked hard to finish four years of college, but in the end he was not as good as me!"

When there were only two of them in private, Yuan Dong said to Yu Xingyi: "Brother Liu must be very depressed. After studying for so many years, it's not as good as making a lot of money by just graduating from junior high school."

Yu Xingyi said: "This is only temporary. Who knows what will happen in the future? Besides, those who make atomic bombs are not as profitable as those who sell tea eggs. Are they all selling tea eggs instead of making atomic bombs? The value of a person is not how much money he makes. It depends on how many meaningful things you have done in your limited life."

Yuan Dong nodded: "Brother Xing Yi is right, people should have higher and more valuable goals."

This trip to Beijing was not a big shock. He felt that he and his elder brother had made a lot of money in business, but compared with people who took taxis and drove Santanas, it was only a drop in the bucket.

"Yes, what you have to do is to study hard. Today's world is changing faster and faster, and there are more and more temptations, but you must always keep your original intention in mind, and don't be confused by the colorful world."

Yuan Dong laughed: "Brother Xingyi, you speak like my brother."

As soon as Yu Xing looked at him, he thought of Yuan Xia, and couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, did he resemble Yuan Xia?Indeed, some of them were learned from Yuan Xia.

When they went back, in addition to bringing some souvenirs, they also bought a lot of books.

To say that the place in Beijing that satisfied Yu Xingyi and Yuan Dong the most was the bookstore. The bookstore was huge in scale and had a complete range of categories. They had almost all kinds of books. They worked tirelessly and memorized a lot of books back home.

The money for buying books was all paid by Yu Xing: "Your brother put the money with me, and I'll just settle the score with him later."

Of the books he bought, Yu Xingyi kept a few for himself, and most of them were brought back by Yuan Dong, and it was time for the bookstore at home to add new books.

In addition to comic books and literary works, there are also Jin Yong's martial arts novels. Since Deng Gong received Jin Yong in 81, his novels have been lifted in the mainland, and the popularity of martial arts novels has quietly risen.

Yuan Xia bought a set of "Legend of the Condor Heroes" for the store, and it was so popular that it almost lost its pages.Yuandong bought a few more sets this time.

When Yuan Dong returned home, his family learned that he had gone to Beijing from his souvenirs.

Yuan Dong explained that it was Yu Xing who took him to play, but he didn't dare to say that his elder brother paid him to go.

This made Yuanchun and Chongyang envious.

Yuanchun pouted dissatisfiedly: "Big Brother took you to Shanghai and Yuecheng before, and now Brother Xingyi takes you to Beijing. They are all big cities, but we haven't even been to Jianning."

Chongyang also yelled: "Yes, yes! I want to go too, brother is too partial!"

Yuandong scratched his head guiltily: "I went to Yuecheng and Shanghai, didn't I help my eldest brother buy and sell goods?"

"I can also help sell goods." Yuanchun said.

Yuan Qiu said: "Don't make trouble, why is the eldest brother partial? I didn't take you there because you were too young to help. Yangyang, you have the nerve to say that the eldest brother prefers your second brother? You like painting, and the eldest brother Hua The money sent you to the Children's Palace to learn painting, and bought so many brushes, paints, and notebooks, none of us have any. Who do you think Big Brother is partial to?"

Chongyang shrank her neck and stuck out her tongue: "Big sister, I was wrong."

Yuan Qiu said: "In the future, you are not allowed to say who is partial to whom. Both the elder brother and the grandfather hope that we will grow up well, study hard, and be useful to society in the future."

All the younger ones nodded: "Understood."

Yuan Dehou looked at his grandsons and showed a gratified smile. After Xiaoqiu went to college, he became more and more like an adult.

Yuan Qiu said again: "Chun'er and Yangyang, you all study hard, and when you are about to take the university entrance examination, I will take you to Beijing to play."

The two younger ones hurriedly grabbed Yuan Qiu: "Sister, is it true? It's a deal, don't go back on your word!"

Yuan Qiu said with a smile: "It's a deal, and grandpa will also go to see the police station in Beijing."

Yuan Dehou said: "Xiaoqiu, you can't just promise them indiscriminately. Going to Beijing will earn you a lot of money."

Yuan Qiu smiled and said, "It's okay, Grandpa, I'll publish a few more articles, and I'll be able to raise enough money to go to Beijing."

She has to publish several articles in one semester, and she can earn hundreds of yuan for the manuscript fee of ten yuan per thousand words, which is more than the living allowance issued by the school. In the future, she will contribute more manuscripts, save more money, and take care of her grandfather and younger siblings. Go to Beijing to play.

Yuan Dong said: "Maybe next year I will be admitted to Beijing to go to university, and whoever is obedient at that time, I will take them to Beijing."

Yuan Qiu smiled and said, "Didn't you say you want to take the Fudan exam? Why did you change your mind?"

Yuan Dong said: "Tsinghua University is more beautiful than Fudan University, and it is more famous and challenging. I decided to give it a try!"

Yuan Qiu didn't hit him either: "Then you go for it."

"I don't believe in the second brother. Even if you go to Beijing to study, you don't have the money to take us there. I'll wait for the elder sister to take us there." Yuan Chun is very shrewd and doesn't believe Yuan Dong's false promises.

"I don't have any money, so I won't make money? I will make money when I go to college, just wait for me!" Yuan Dong vowed.

Although the two younger ones failed to go to Beijing, they soon realized their wish to go to Jianning.

At the end of July, Yuan Xia took a seven-day high temperature vacation, he went to Yuecheng first, because Yu Xing invited him to visit his house early in the morning.

Yuan Xia went to see it once, when it was still the Meteorological Bureau, and never went there again.Yu Xingyi has already moved back to his home from school, Yuan Xia felt that it was necessary for him to visit.

After getting off the bus, Yuan Xia took the bus and went straight to Chunchuan Road.When he was about to arrive, Yuan Xia saw an old man selling flowers by the side of the road pulling a cart, so he quickly got out of the car and ran to buy flowers.

There are many types of flowers, but the quantity of each is not large, and they are well-raised. They don't look like professional flower sellers.

After asking, I realized that the seedlings were grown from the flowers cultivated by the old man himself: "My wife and children think that I have planted too much, and there is no place to put them. I will pull some out to see if I can sell them."

Yuan Xia said: "Master, my friend's house is moving, I want to send him some flowers, I need several pots. Can you help me deliver them to his house? It's just one or two stops ahead."

"How far is it?" The old man didn't want to move his nest because there were a lot of flowers on the ground.

"It's at the Meteorological Bureau. You can help me deliver them. I'll put them away for you and push the cart for you." Yuan Xia said that he had already put away the flowerpots on the ground and put them on the cart.

The uncle saw that Yuan Xia had a good attitude and the weather bureau was not too far away, so he agreed.

So when Yu Xing opened the door and saw Yuan Xia, he saw him holding a pot of rose in one hand and a pot of lily in the other, and smiled at himself: "Congratulations for finally moving back to my home."

As soon as Yu Xing looked at him, he was immediately elated: "Haha, thank you! Come in!" He reached out and took a pot of lilies from Yuan Xia's hand.

Yuan Xia turned her head outward and lifted her chin: "There are still there, you go and move those."

Yu Xing took a look, and there were many pots of flowers and plants on the open space in front of the door: "You bought so many flowers? How did you get them here?"

Yuan Xia said with a smile: "Ask someone to deliver the goods to your door."

Yuan Xia placed the roses and lilies in his hands on the fence of the corridor in the courtyard, and moved the rest in with Yu Xingyi. The larger ones were placed in front of the corridor and on the window sills, and some suitable for indoor planting were placed on the home.

Yuan Xia bought more than half of the family's carload of flowers and plants, and also asked the old man to teach a lot of flower growing skills, and then turned around and taught Yu Xingyi one by one.

Yu Xingyi looked at his house suddenly became lively, and his face was a little moved: "It's really like my house before. My grandma loves flowers, and my grandpa brought a lot of flowers and plants back for her to raise. Throughout the year, my house doesn't have flowers. The flowers are missing. Unfortunately, the pomegranates and plum blossoms in the yard are no longer there, and they died shortly after my grandma passed away."

Yuan Xia put his hand on Yu Xing's shoulder: "It's not easy, dig up this open space and plant two pomegranates and plum blossoms."

There is a large open space in the yard. It is estimated that flowers and plants have been planted before, but now only the bare green brick ground is left.

Yu Xingyi smiled: "Let's go, I'll take you to visit my house."

The house of Yu Xing's family was not spared in the war, and it was rebuilt after the war.His grandfather went to university in Beijing in his early years, and later taught in Shanghai. He has seen the world. The renovated house is both beautiful and practical. It is not all old-school Chinese architecture. It also has a toilet and shower room, which is a bit of a combination of Chinese and Western. mean.

This is a courtyard house with many rooms. Yu Xingyi lives in the east wing: "The house is too big, and I can't get it fully furnished. It was a waste of money, so I bought the main room and the east wing. My parents and my sister come back, should They are all enough. There are two rooms in the East Wing, and I have prepared one for you. When you come to Yuecheng, you can stay with me."

Yuan Xia laughed after hearing this: "That means I will have a home in Yuecheng in the future?"

Yu Xingyi nodded vigorously: "Yes, if you don't dislike it, this is your home." His heart was beating violently.

"How can I dislike it? I like such a big house before it's too late. It's great!" Yuan Xia was extremely happy.

The furnishings in the room are very simple, nothing more than a bed, a table and a cabinet. In Yu Xingyi's room, there is an extra bookshelf, where his collection of books and professional books are placed.

Yuan Xia said: "Your books will definitely be more than these in the future, why not get a study room."

"It's not necessary for now, let's talk about it later." Yu Xingyi said.

Yuan Xia's room next door has almost the same layout, except that the bed is not covered with anything, Yu Xingyi said: "There are mats, just brush them, there are no mosquito nets, I will buy them later."

Yuan Xia waved his hand: "No need to buy it, I can't stay here for two nights, so I'll sleep with you. I used to sleep in such a narrow bed, but now it's so wide, can't it fit the two of us?"

As soon as Yu Xing finished listening, he was ecstatic in his heart: "Okay."

Yuan Xia lived in Yu Xingyi's place for three days, and every morning, he and Yu Xingyi went out to go shopping, all the streets and alleys, and picked out some weird shops.

I bought two large water tanks, put them in the yard, and filled them with water.I ran to a pond in the suburbs, dug some mud, fished some water hyacinths, and kept them in tanks, and the yard suddenly came alive.

Yu Xingyi looked at Yuan Xia who was playing with mud like a child, and said, "Where do you get so many ingenious ideas?"

Yuan Xia said: "The solution is something that people think of. If you see goldfish for sale in the future, you can buy a few and keep them. I just need to trouble you to change the water. Change it every few days."

"No trouble, seeing the yard is a little green, I feel better." Yu Xingyi said.

"If you want to plant trees, wait until spring. It's hot now, and you'll die if you plant them. In the future, you can bury some lotus root or lotus seeds in the tank. This big tank can grow lotus at home."

In addition to raising water hyacinths, Yuan Xia also bought some flower and bird paintings from the bookstore and hung them at home, making the room look lively.

Yu Xing clicked his tongue and praised: "After being treated like this by you, the family has been raised to a higher level, and it has become much more beautiful and warm."

Yuan Xia said with a smile: "If you don't decorate such a nice house, it will always feel wasteful."

When Yuan Xia returned home, Yu Xingyi didn't follow him because he had to go to work. Although the school started early, the teachers had to go to work early, and the new students had to do the work of issuing the admission notice and arranging the new semester.

Yu Xingyi is a new teacher. In addition to being a subject teacher, he also needs to be a head teacher. He will only have more things to do than other teachers.

After school starts, I'm afraid I will have to live in the staff dormitory arranged by the school for a long time. After all, if there is an emergency in the class, I need to find someone as soon as possible.

When Yuan Xia came home, the family members were very happy.

Taking advantage of the abundant time, Yuan Xia took his younger siblings to go shopping.

After buying school supplies, clothes and shoes, Chongyang said that he wanted to eat stewed pork.

Yuan Xia asked: "Then I'll go buy meat and cook it. Is there any meat left at this time?"

Chongyang said: "Brother, you don't need to make it yourself, someone sells ready-made ones over there, and grandpa bought it once, it's delicious."

Yuan Xia said: "Okay, let's go, you lead the way."

Suyang has also undergone considerable changes in the past two years. There is an additional free market, and many people set up stalls in it, selling agricultural products, small commodities, and cooked food.

This free market is where Chongyang brings Yuanxia to. Due to the lack of unified planning, the market is a bit messy, but it is really lively and full of the atmosphere of city life.

Chongyang dragged Yuan Xia to a stewed meat stall. The stall was set up by a young woman, who worked very quickly, with a smile on her face, and said warmly: "What kind of meat do you want? A piece of pork head and three pieces of meat, ears, and large intestines." , Pork liver, one piece and five."

Yuan Xia asked his younger siblings: "What do you want to eat?"

Chongyang sucked his saliva: "I want to eat pork head, the one with the nose, and the ears, which are chewy."

Yuanchun said: "Greedy cat, one is enough."

Yuan Xia smiled and said: "It's okay, I'll buy some. Boss, bring me a catty of pork head meat, try to cut the pig's snout for me, and then half a catty of pig's ears."

"Okay, wait a minute." The female stall owner turned her head to the back and said, "Wang Xiaobing, the pig's ears are gone, check to see if the ones in the pot are ready, and take some out when they are ready."

"Here we come." A man responded, stood up from behind the woman, and went to uncover a burning pot on the stove.

"Be careful it's hot." The man put a steaming pig's ear on the cutting board, looked at Yuan Xia, was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a smile, "Is that you? Come to buy braised pork?"

Yuan Xia looked at the other person, a little familiar, but couldn't remember who it was for a while: "You are?"

The man laughed, came over and lowered his voice and said, "It's me, Wang Xiaobing, old guy. I used to go to your rented bookstore with Curly Hair and Scar to make trouble, and you ran to my house with the police station to ask me to pay for it, remember? "

Yuan Xia remembered: "It's you? I didn't even recognize it. Are you doing business now? Is the business okay?"

Wang Xiaobing laughed: "It's not bad. Wife, this is my benefactor. I don't charge for the meat today, so I'll give it to him."

The woman looked at her husband with some doubts, Wang Xiaobing explained softly in her ear, she was relieved quickly, and said very straightforwardly: "Yes. So you were the one who saved him? I really want to thank you It seems that Wang Xiaobing did not hide his past from his wife.

Yuan Xia was very happy that this guy had changed his ways, but he rejected the other party's kindness: "Thank you for your kindness. But I still have to give the meat money."

Wang Xiaobing wrapped the mixed meat slices with dried lotus leaves, and carefully tied them up with straw rope: "Hold it well, don't drop it. Next time you want to eat meat, bring an enamel jar to put it in, and you won't be charged for it."

Yuan Xia handed the things to Yuan Dong, motioned them to leave first, then counted out two yuan and fifteen cents, and put the money on the desk: "Sister-in-law, you keep the money. How can you not charge money for shopping."

After he finished speaking, he left in a hurry, Wang Xiaobing chased after him with the money, and insisted on returning the money to Yuan Xia, but he was not as tall as Yuan Xia, so Yuan Xia grabbed his hand: "Brother Wang, don't do this, I won't do this in the future." Dare to buy meat to eat."

Wang Xiaobing said, "Don't. Your family loves braised pork, and I'll send it to you in the future. Is your bookstore still open in the old place?"

"Don't. I won't be rewarded for nothing." Yuan Xia hastily refused.

Wang Xiaobing sighed and said, "Brother, please don't say that. If you hadn't woken me up that time, I might not be here to talk to you now. Do you know what happened to Scar and curly hair now? "

Yuan Xia shook her head.

Wang Xiaobing sighed: "Scar went to rob with others, got shot, and disappeared last year. In fact, he didn't rob many, but he was afraid, resisted arrest, got shot during the pursuit, and disappeared before the trial. Volume Mao did not change his behavior of stealing chickens and dogs later, and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. He was imprisoned last year, and the day lily would be cold when he came out? He is in his thirties, and his wife may not be able to marry."

Yuan Xia sighed: "So, people can't do wrong things and go the wrong way."

Wang Xiaobing said: "Yes. The crackdown was very strict, and I was reported at that time. After paying you money that time, my dad beat me up hard, and I never committed another crime. Fortunately, Director Liu helped me out. Explain to me that there is still a record of the compensation from that year. It is really thanks to you, otherwise I would at least be eating in prison."

Yuan Xia said: "The law and order in the past few years was too chaotic, and it should be rectified. People still can't enjoy leisure and work hard, and still have to rely on their own hands to get rich."

Wang Xiaobing nodded and laughed: "You are so right. I can make a lot of money a day by setting up a stall, which is enough for a family's living expenses. My wife called me. You should be assigned a job after graduating from college, right? Is there no point? In Suyang, I seldom see you. If I want to eat meat in the future, I will ask your younger siblings to come to my house to get it. If nothing else, the meat you marinate yourself is still enough.”

Yuan Xia smiled and said: "You are too polite, thank you!"

After Wang Xiaobing left, Yuan Xia touched his pocket and found the two yuan and fifteen cents, and Wang Xiaobing stuffed the money back to him at some point.

Yuan Xia thought about it, but still didn't catch up to pay back the money.

The younger brothers and sisters waited for him not far away, and asked about the specific situation. Yuan Xia told them about it, and the three of them were very surprised: "Brother, you are really his savior."

Yuan Xia said: "That's not really a person who saves himself. I will sue the other two and lose the money. They are still going astray. So you have to remember that you must not have the intention of harming others. Of course, it is also necessary to be defensive.”

The brothers and sisters all nodded: "Understood."

After Yuan Dehou heard about this incident, he was also extremely saddened, life and death are just a matter of thought, one must not have evil thoughts.

Two days later, Yuan Xia led Yuan Qiu, Yuan Chun and Chongyang to Jianning, but Yuan Dong didn't go, because he was about to start school soon, and the summer vacation of the graduating class had to make up one month of classes.

The three of Yuanqiu played in Jianning for a week, during the day Yuanqiu led them around the city, at night Yuanxia took Chongyang to play on the floor, and the two little sisters slept on the bed.

It was not until the weekend afternoon that Yuan Xia sent them away.

Those who originally had the intention to introduce someone to Yuan Xia, saw his younger brothers and sisters, and gave up their thoughts again.

Some people fell in love with Yuan Qiu and wanted to introduce someone to her. When they heard that she was in college, they all gave up. Such a beautiful girl is also a college student, how many people are worthy of her.

After the high-temperature vacation, Yuan Xia's working age will be one year.He submitted his application form for an engineer without hesitation, and he submitted it directly to Liang Hongchang. He was worried that Tang □□ would block him deliberately, and he didn't have so much time to delay.

Liang Hongchang valued Yuan Xia very much, he valued the young backbones, he focused on training, and he also attached great importance to their opinions.It's a pity that he is not the director of Red Star Factory, and he has very little control over things. He can only watch Red Star Factory go further and further down the road of loss.

Tang □□ is a very old-fashioned and conservative person. He is superstitious about the old system. He believes that no matter what, the state will cover the bottom for the factory, and the state will pay the workers' wages. He never thought that one day the factory would go bankrupt. laid off.

Liang Hongchang did what he said, and he successfully signed and stamped the factory for Yuan Xia, and submitted it for approval.

When Yuan Xia heard the news, he was very grateful to Liang Hongchang, and felt a little guilty, because as soon as he got the title, he would leave the job.
