Rebirth of science and technology to rejuvenate the country

Yuan Xia hugged Yu Xingyi hard, patted him on the back, then let him go, looked at him and smiled: "Is it surprising?"

Happiness came too suddenly, and once Yu Xing came to his senses, he only felt that the hug was too short, so short that he didn't even have time to feel Yuan Xia's warmth, nor did he have time to respond, he looked at Yuan Xia silly: "It's a surprise .Why are you here today? What day of the week is it?"

Yu Xing frowned and thought, it's winter vacation, he even forgot to check the week.

Yuan Xia turned on the light in the kitchen: "I forgot too. That's not important."

As soon as Yu Xing walked in, he saw that the kitchen floor was full of vegetables, including green vegetables, wax gourds, carrots, etc., there was still a pot of oil in the pot, and there was meat on the cutting board: "You bought so many vegetables, have you already done it? Suspended without pay?"

Yuan Xia raised his hand and snapped his fingers: "That's right! I'll move here in the future."

Yu Xingyi couldn't believe his ears, and laughed from ear to ear: "Really? Why so fast?"

Yuan Xia said: "I have already obtained my title, if I don't leave, will I stay there to waste time?"

Yu Xing asked him: "What's the result of the petition in your factory?" Yuan Xia had already told him about the petition.

Yuan Xia shook his head: "There is nothing to say. And all those who signed did not receive last month's salary."

"Ah? Why?" Yu Xingyi showed an unbelievable expression.

Yuan Xia shrugged: "It was said that the Provincial Department of Finance allocated such a small amount of money. Those who did not participate in the petition received full wages, and those who signed did not get a penny, including me, who was retaliated against. I won't serve you any more, just drop the picker and leave! I won't have any salary in the future, so I'll come to you, and if I don't have money to eat, you can support me."

Yu Xing smiled and rolled his eyes: "No problem, I will support you."

Yuan Xia suddenly smiled: "Is your school finished?"

"I just sent out the report card, so it's a busy stage. I brought my work back, and I will go to the laboratory when I need to go to the laboratory. Today, my eyelids are always twitching, and I always feel that something good has happened. When I came back, I saw that it was so." ! When did you arrive?" Yu Xingyi was in an extremely good mood, looking at Yuan Xia with great joy.

Yuan Xia said: "I arrived yesterday afternoon. This shows that we have a tacit understanding. I deliberately didn't go to school to find you, just to surprise you."

"Yes, there is indeed a tacit understanding. Has your factory manager approved the application for you?"

Yuan Xia shook his head: "No, people in the factory are looking for him everywhere for wages. He took sick leave and hid elsewhere. He probably won't see anyone for years. I don't want to waste time with him, so I'll come back to Yuecheng to stay. Isn't it pretty?"

"Yes. But can he approve it for you?"

"Our deputy factory manager said he would help me with it."

"The deputy factory manager is really nice. Some of the superiors are also really good. Shouldn't the promotion of cadres be based on the best? How can we let some people with dead bodies go up and drag down the whole factory in the end." Yu Xingyi was a little bit aggrieved.

"When our factory is built, I will ask the deputy factory manager to help me. I hope our factory can develop smoothly, and he will not be old at that time." Yuan Xia said.

Yu Xingyi looked at him and smiled: "Then we have to work hard."

Yuan Xia fished out the dried lard residue in the oil pan and put it in an enamel jar, Yu Xingyi couldn't wait to reach out to grab the lard residue and eat it.

Yuan Xia said with a smile: "Be careful of burning, use chopsticks to pick it up. Sprinkle some sugar in it, it will taste better."

"It's so fragrant, so hot!" Yu Xingyi grabbed a piece and put it in his mouth, and danced against the oil residue with his tongue so as not to burn his tongue.

Yuan Xia laughed out of joy, for such a big person, she still has a greedy mouth like a child.

After a while, Yu Xingyi was holding a small bowl filled with lard residue, squatting on the threshold with chopsticks, eating while watching Yuan Xia make dinner, and suddenly said with emotion: "That's great, once you come back, It feels like home here.”

Yuan Xia turned around and smiled at him: "From now on, I will live here without paying rent."

Yu Xing yelled: "What kind of rent do you pay? This is your home. How can you pay the rent for living in your own home?"

"Okay!" Yuan Xia agreed with a smile.

The yard is a bit big, so living alone is unavoidably empty and lonely, Yu Xingyi usually doesn't like to come back to live there, he only comes back every now and then to water the flowers and plants and change the water in the water tank.In the past six months, although these flowers and plants are not as vigorous as when they were first bought, they are still alive.

The two lived together, and although the yard was still empty, it was obviously much more lively.

Next, the two of them cleaned and wiped the yard inside and out to prepare for the new year.This year Yu Xingyi also went to Yuan Xia's house to celebrate the New Year, not at his own home, but cleaning was still done.

After the yard was tidied up, Yuan Xia rode his bicycle and wandered around the city, looking east and west, in order to find a suitable place to build a factory.

When he and Yu Xingyi started their business together, it was a little earlier than now, and they had less start-up capital at that time.

At first, they started working in the yard of Yuxing's family. They were tinkering at home all day to repair the machine, and the neighbors were so annoyed. They lost a lot of good words, and after earning their first pot of gold, they quickly moved to another place.

This time, Yuan Xia didn't intend to disturb the people, and directly rented a bigger place to make a factory, so as not to think about moving for three days.

Yu Xingyi originally wanted to look for it with Yuan Xia, but was rejected by Yuan Xia: "You are busy with your work. I will look for it first, and when there is a suitable one, I will ask you to go and see it together."

Yu Xingyi ran with Yuan Xia for a day, wandering around aimlessly, looking for a house that looked vacant, like finding a needle in a haystack, it was not easy to find, so he gave up and went home to mess with him. Research went.

Yu Xingyi is currently cooperating with Qu Junqing and other professors from the school to design a fire sprinkler for an automobile factory.

Yuan Xia is super supportive of his work. This type of vehicle is a special vehicle, and it is the same type of vehicle as the dump trucks, bulldozers, excavators, cranes, etc. that he will produce in the future. Being able to participate in this project is to gain experience for future work value.

In addition to looking for a house, Yuan Xia did not forget to go to the large and small factories in Yuecheng to find out if there are any manufacturers that have replaced their production equipment. He is going to buy some old equipment for use.After all, everything is just beginning, and it is a bit unrealistic to buy all new equipment.

In addition to inquiring about news in Yuecheng, he did not forget to inquire with his classmates and friends. Xinjiang is too far away to consider, and other places can be tried. Anyway, there are trains.

During the day, he and Yu Xingyi were busy with their own business, and at night they would cook and eat together, then chat around the stove, read books, and discuss Yu Xingyi's design drawings.

The benefits of studying the same major are revealed at this time. The two have the same hobbies and enough common language, and there will always be endless topics to talk about.

Yuan Xia has enough practical experience, and every time he gives Yu Xingyi a very constructive suggestion, it makes Yu Xingyi suddenly see the light.

Yu Xingyi said with emotion: "Yuan Xia, it would be great if you also come to do the design."

Yuan Xia shook his head: "I can't, I'm fine with some minor details, but the whole is not good. Isn't it good that we complement each other like this?"

Yu Xing thought about it one by one, the combination of his own thoughts and Yuan Xia's thoughts, isn't it a perfect match?

Yuan Xia just wandered until the year before, and gained very little, but also did a lot of elimination methods, and continued to search after the year.

Three or four days before the Chinese New Year, Yuan Xia and Yu Xingyi returned to Suyang together. They bought a lot of things and went back, saying that it was the welfare from the factory. The family members who didn't know were naturally very happy.

When Yuan Xia came back, Yuan Qiu had already taken his younger siblings to clean up the toilet, he didn't have to do anything, just wait for the New Year.

But it wasn't as easy as he thought. As soon as he came back, he received two or three invitations. His classmate was getting married and had a baby. He was invited to a wedding.

Yuan Xia doesn't have much contact with his middle school and high school classmates, mainly because his memory of the past has faded. After rebirth, he was busy learning how to make a living, and he didn't have much time to deal with people.

However, the person who sent the invitation had a good relationship with Ma Jianshe, so he guessed that when he sent an invitation to Ma Jianshe, he also sent him one by the way.

Yuan Xia naturally had to go, he is a college student, and he was at home during the Chinese New Year, if he didn't go, he would look too aloof and be criticized for looking down on his worthless classmates.

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Yuan Xia and Ma Jianshe went to attend a classmate's wedding.This classmate used to play basketball with Ma Jianshe. He was a little older than Yuan Xia, 24 years old. From Yuan Xia's point of view, he got married a bit early, but this year is considered normal.

Ma Jianshe said: "If it wasn't for responding to the country's late marriage and late childbearing policy, they would have been married a long time ago. They have known each other since they were young, and they are childhood sweethearts, which is really enviable."

Late marriage means that the combined age of both men and women exceeds 48 years.

Yuan Xia said: "My childhood sweetheart is indeed enviable. Last time I heard that the aunt in your unit introduced you to someone. How does it look? She seems to be a teacher?"

Ma Jianshe shrugged: "No match."

"You missed her, or did she miss you?" Yuan Xia asked with a smile.

"I didn't get the match, and I always feel that something is missing." Ma Jianshe sighed.

"You have met three more in this year, it seems that you missed the match. Brother, I didn't expect you to be quite picky." Yuan Xia said with a smile.

"It's okay. Don't talk about me. You yourself are only one year younger than me. It's time to look for it." Ma Jianshe squinted at him.

Yuan Xia said: "You have also seen my situation. Two of them are going to higher education, and one is going to junior high school. I just lost my job and my career hasn't started yet. How do you think I'm in the mood to talk about it?"

Ma Jianshe nodded: "That's right."

The wedding ceremony was held in a private restaurant. Since self-employed businesses were allowed, many private restaurants popped up in the county town, crowding the original state-run canteen to the point of collapse.

It's no wonder that private restaurants do not have the supercilious bad habits of state-run restaurants that have developed over the years. The food tastes good, the service attitude is warm, and the price is fair. It is clear at a glance who the diners will choose.

The scale of this restaurant is not small. The boss opened a restaurant in his own home, where dine-in can be served, and banquets can be set up on the second floor, which can hold about ten tables, which is enough for most people to set up wine.

Yuan Xia met many old classmates at the wedding banquet, only half of them were not married, and some brought their children to the wedding banquet.

Everyone didn't care about Yuan Xia, and joked: "Yuan Xia, you and Ma Jianshe are faster than us in academics and careers, and we are faster than you in family, so it's a win."

Only a small number of these students have stable jobs, and most of them are self-employed. Some are self-employed, some work as coolies, and one or two went south to work and went to Shenzhen.

Ma Jianshe said in Yuan Xia's ear: "Didn't you say that you want me to help you find someone reliable? How about Li Baogen?"

Yuan Xia glanced at Li Baogen who was at the same table. He was dressed very plainly, and the coat on his body was obviously a bit ill-fitting. He ate alone with his head down.

Yuan Xia asked: "What's his situation?"

Ma Jianshe said: "His situation is a bit miserable, I will tell you later."

After the wedding, everyone made an appointment to go to the bridal chamber at night.Yuan Xia is not interested in having a bridal chamber, he is a little anxious to know about Li Baogen's situation.

If he wants to set up a factory, he must need workers. At this time, it is difficult to find skilled workers. After all, most state-owned factories can barely support themselves, and they will not go bankrupt or laid off. No one wants to lose their jobs and go to a private factory. Train yourself.

If you are just starting a business, you don’t need many workers, but you need one or two people who are practical and willing to work. They also need to be reliable in character. Of course, it is best to find acquaintances.

Ma Jianshe fought with other students and went downstairs. As soon as he arrived downstairs, Ma Jianshe, who was talking loudly, suddenly fell silent.

Yuan Xia noticed his abnormality, looked at the guests who were eating downstairs, and spotted an acquaintance——Zhao Xiaohui.

Zhao Xiaohui was having dinner with a few young girls. She was dressed in a different way. Her long hair was permed into big waves. She pinned it with a hairpin with some flowers. Her hair was tied behind her ears and hung on her shoulders. She looked very beautiful and generous. .

When Zhao Xiaohui heard the movement by the stairs, she also raised her head and looked over. When she saw Yuan Xia and Ma Jianshe, she just nodded slightly as a greeting.

Yuan Xia turned to look at Ma Jianshe again, he was raising his hand to wave to Zhao Xiaohui, with a shy smile on his face.

Yuan Xia suddenly understood, did Ma Jianshe fall in love with Zhao Xiaohui?I've never heard him talk about it before, this kid is quite tight-lipped.

After leaving the restaurant, the guests left one after another, but Ma Jianshe didn't leave: "Wait a while, and see if Xiaohui comes back, she probably doesn't have a bicycle."

Yuan Xia said, "How do you know she doesn't have a car? Maybe she came here by bike."

Ma Jianshe said: "Her father's car was stolen, and he never bought a new one. She must not have a car."

Yuan Xia looked at Ma Jianshe, and said bluntly: "You have failed in blind dates many times, it can't be because of Zhao Xiaohui, right?"

Ma Jianshe sighed: "Hey! People don't think much of me. She is a key university student and she is still studying in Beijing. I just went to a junior college."

Yuan Xia patted him on the shoulder sympathetically: "Brother, I really can't help this matter. It's not that I poured cold water on you, you and Zhao Xiaohui are really useless."

Ma Jianshe gave a dejected "hmm": "I knew it a long time ago. She said that she would stay in Beijing and go abroad if she had the opportunity. I can only bless her."

"You still corresponded with her?" Yuan Xia asked.

"Well. She doesn't reply to my letters very much, maybe write two or three letters and reply one. She is quite busy." Ma Jianshe said.

Yuan Xia knows that feelings always come suddenly and unreasonably, and it is too difficult to be happy with each other.

A fair lady, a gentleman is so good, Zhao Xiaohui is so good, it is normal for Ma Jianshe to like her, which shows that he has good vision.It's just that, for him, Zhao Xiaohui is close in front of his eyes, but far away in the sky, which is not the cloud he can catch.

No wonder Ma Jianshe is envious of the feelings of his classmates' childhood sweethearts.It might take some time for him to come out.

He didn't know how Ma Jianshe and his wife met in his previous life. After graduating from technical secondary school, Ma Jianshe was assigned to a factory in Jianning, while he went to Yuecheng. The two of them didn't meet much.

Now that Ma Jianshe's life trajectory has also changed, I don't know if the two of them will have a chance to continue their relationship in this life.

After waiting for a while, Zhao Xiaohui and her friends came out, seeing Yuan Xia and Ma Jianshe, she was a little surprised: "You guys haven't left yet?"

Ma Jianshe said, "Xiaohui, are you going home? I'll give you a ride."

Zhao Xiaohui shook her head with a smile: "I won't go back for the time being, I still want to play with my classmates."

Yuan Xia looked at Ma Jianshe sympathetically: "Let's go."

Ma Jianshe watched Zhao Xiaohui's back leave, and then slowly followed Yuan Xia with the cart.

Yuan Xia stopped, waited for him to come, and said, "Tell me about Li Baogen's situation."

Ma Jianshe cheered up: "Oh, yes, let me tell you about Baogen's situation. Baogen's situation is really miserable. His father is a cleaner and a temporary worker, and his mother is paralyzed and cannot take care of herself. When he graduated from high school, he went to join the army. He had already passed the physical examination, but his father suddenly had a car accident. If you say it’s outrageous, it’s just that in Suyang, there are several buses a day on this street. His father was born He was hit, dragged for tens of meters, and died immediately. Baogen had an older sister who was married. She was a bit cowardly, and her in-laws did not let her care about her family. He had to give up the opportunity to join the army and stay. Take his father's job and take care of his mother by the way."

Yuan Xia said, "What about the perpetrator?"

"I ran away. It's actually easy to find. I heard that it was the son of a certain secretary. Baogen went to look for witnesses, but no one testified. The time of the accident was also very early. There were no one in the early morning. It was useless to take his father's life." .” Ma Jianshe sighed heavily.

Yuan Xia couldn't help swearing, and then said: "Then Baogen is a bit of a waste to be a cleaner, at least he is a high school student."

Ma Jianshe snorted coldly: "Now the cleaners don't do it for him anymore. He was originally a temporary worker who replaced his father. He was paid more than ten yuan a month, and he was hired for this job. He just didn't want to do it either. Yes, I wrote to me before and told me that I want to go to the south to work.”

"Where's his mother?" Yuan Xia asked.

"It's gone. It's a relief for him to leave this summer." Ma Jianshe said, "If you want to open a factory, I can find Baogen. He doesn't talk much, has a reliable character, and is physically strong."

Yuan Xia smiled wryly: "But my factory has not been settled yet. The place has not been found, and the equipment has not been in place. It will probably take a while."

"How long will it take? I'll ask him for you to see if he is willing to come. If he is not willing, then find someone else. Jianjun has a helping classmate and has no serious business. He often asks him to go out to play. Everyone took him for a fool, who told him to make more money." Ma Jianshe said.

Yuan Xia smiled and said: "Okay, then I will trouble you. You can ask Baogen for me. If he is willing to come, you can bring him to my house and I will talk to him."

"no problem."

Back home, Yuan Xia talked to Yu Xing about Li Baogen, and Yu Xing said with a smile: "We have to hurry up, we have all the workers, and the factory hasn't opened yet."

"That's right." In fact, workers are so easy to find these days, and there are too many idle labor forces, that's why it has become the world's factory.

The next day, Ma Jianshe brought Li Baogen to look for Yuan Xia.

Yuan Xia was slaughtering chickens and ducks at home to prepare for the Chinese New Year, when he heard Ma Jianshe called him, and looked up, Li Baogen was following behind him.

Yuan Xia put down the chicken that was being plucked, and stood up: "Baogen is here, come in and sit down. Xiaoqiu, come and pluck the chicken."

Yu Xingyi poured a cup of tea for Li Baogen who entered the room: "Drink tea, please sit down."

Li Baogen stretched out his hands to take the hot tea cautiously. His hands were very rough, with a lot of plaster stuck on them, which must have been cracked.

Li Baogen is of medium height, with dark and rough skin, chapped lips, and vicissitudes in his eyes that do not match his age. He lacks vigor, and it is inevitable that he will encounter a huge change at a young age.

Yuan Xia came in after washing his hands, and saw Yu Xing came out with a fruit plate filled with melon seeds, peanuts, snacks and fruits, saying: "Eat apples."

Li Baogen glanced at Yu Xingyi in surprise, and then at Yuan Xia.

Yuan Xia wiped his hands with a towel, and explained with a smile: "This is my friend, Yu Xingyi, and also my partner. I should have told you about my situation."

Ma Jianshe grabbed a handful of fried peanuts in his hand: "I told you everything. Baogen said he was willing to follow you."

Li Baogen nodded. He looked at Yuan Xia and said, "Yuan Xia, did you really suspend without pay?" When he heard Ma Jianshe talk about Yuan Xia's situation, he was very surprised. Yuan Xia was the best in their class Some people, college students, actually quit their jobs.

Yuan Xia smiled and said: "Yes. But you can't say this out loud, don't let other people hear it."

Yuan Qiu from the corridor has already come in and closed the door: "Brother, I heard, is what you said true? You quit your job?!"

Yuan Xia looked at his younger sister: "Yes, the leave of absence has already been done. He is going to start a factory and work on his own." He didn't intend to hide it from Yuan Qiu, after all, he will be stationed in Yuecheng in the future, so it is impossible to keep Yuan Qiu from knowing.

Yuan Qiu stared at his elder brother with wide eyes: "Why?"

"No reason, brother has always wanted to start his own business. When the time comes, he will resign. Don't tell grandpa and Dongdong about this. When the time is right, I will talk about it myself." Yuan Xia told her sister.

"Oh." Yuan Qiu took a few deep breaths, then turned around and left.

Ma Jianshe threw a peanut into his mouth and said, "Don't worry, working with Yuan Xia will definitely make money. When we were still in college, he could earn thousands of yuan in one summer vacation. If he didn't persuade me Staying at the Water Conservancy Bureau, I also want to come out to do business, which is much more enjoyable than getting a salary of tens of dollars a month."

Li Baogen's eyes widened, it was unbelievable, how many thousand dollars can he earn in a summer vacation?His monthly salary is less than twenty.

Yuan Xia said: "You went to university and joined the Water Conservancy Bureau, so you should work hard as a water conservancy engineer. Maybe you will contribute to the construction of the Three Gorges on the Yangtze River in the future, and then you can share with everyone. Show off, I also participated in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River."

Ma Jianshe laughed: "If that's the case, there will be smoke on my ancestral grave, hehe."

Yuan Xia said to Li Baogen: "Baogen, I have to make an agreement with you first. What I do now is different from what I used to do, and I may not make as much money, but this is what I want to do. You come to work in my factory, If you learn technology from me, you will still be paid according to the wages of workers. If you do a good job, you will get bonuses. It is a bit difficult to get rich overnight, but it will be more stable.”

Li Baogen nodded: "I am willing to do it with you."

Yuan Xia said: "I may have to wait for a month or two. I will find out the factory building and equipment, and I will implement it as soon as possible. During this time, you are waiting for news from me at home. If the living expenses are not enough, I can borrow some money." for you."

Li Baogen hurriedly said, "Thank you so much."
