Chapter 285: Those Years in the Great Northern Wilderness (121)

Although the couple felt bitter in their hearts, they had to put on a look of gratitude and thank the factory director. The director did not fire them and generously helped them solve the "difficulty" of using the refrigerator.

Anyone who sees this would give him a thumbs up and say that the factory director is magnanimous and has a broad mind.

They should be grateful.

But they themselves are aware of the pain inside. The couple's combined salary is less than 80 yuan. After deducting the monthly water and electricity bills, the living expenses of two elderly people and children, and daily living expenses, they are left with less than ten yuan.

Now that we have added this big item, and it is a huge electricity consumer, how are we going to live?

The same went for the Chen family. Song Jinhan personally led people to deliver the refrigerator, and the money was directly deducted from the salary.

Yi An followed behind, his eyes twinkling. Was his father teaching him that if someone was greedy for something, you would let them suffer a great loss? If you want to take action, you have to solve the problem from the root. There is no point in playing pranks.

The Li and Chen families didn't want it, but they didn't dare to refuse it.

But someone wanted it. Chen An's eyes flickered and he asked, "Director Zheng, can we buy a refrigerator too? We can pay in installments."

Yes, each household has only one quota, which is valid forever. The factory will give out two quotas to its employees every month. There is a discount for full payment. If you pay in installments, you must pay it back within seven years.

The factory has posted these on the bulletin board.

Chen An felt regretful in his heart, but soon he became happy again. Even if there was only one, he would apply for it quickly. The employee price was 1266 and he didn't need a refrigerator ticket, so he could sell it for or yuan. He was short of a sewing machine, and his marriage gift would be there.

As soon as Song Jinhan entered the house, he was taken to the study by Ma Shoushan. When he saw the drawings, he finally understood Xu Jianmin's intention of asking him for these drawings.

"...Old Xu, we are from the same village, served in the army together, and got married at about the same time, but in the end, we are both left alone... He treats you like his son... And Old He, his fake scholar is the luckiest, luckier than the two of us, and is still in the army..."

Ma Shoushan suddenly felt like talking. He recalled the past and the future to Song Jinhan, and talked a lot before he got to the point and pulled Song Jinhan aside to discuss the feasibility of the design in detail.

Yun Tinglan urged them three times before the two of them went to eat.

If it were anyone else, Yun Tinglan would not bother to disturb him, but Ma Shoushan was a cancer cell carrier with metastatic cancer cells in his stomach. She really couldn't just ignore such a patient.

In the days that followed, Yun Tinglan didn't see Song Jinhan for several days, sometimes even ten days or half a month. She only knew that he came back in the middle of the night and left again early in the morning.

There was food in the refrigerator that he packed in lunch boxes, sometimes dumplings, sometimes braised pork. He would write notes and stick them on the refrigerator door to tell Yun Tinglan about his itinerary.

Yun Tinglan also became busy. As her reputation spread, many patients from far away came to see her, and the inpatient department became crowded.

Zhou Changqing was in pain but also happy to discuss the construction of the inpatient building with Yun Tinglan, "Many patients have complained that they have no place to live... The building materials approved by the province... We plan to build the fifth floor first, and we will put the dormitory building for hospital staff on hold for now, and we will start construction next year at the latest..."

At this point, all the wrinkles on his face were piled up together. "The 80-liter household refrigerator in our factory won the second prize of the first light industry excellent new product award... The factory's self-made vacuum forming machine and door seal extrusion equipment were also awarded! The product was upgraded twice within seven months, and the sales volume exceeded 1706 units..."

Yun Tinglan was convinced that Secretary Zhou's intention to discuss business with her was fake and he was just showing off. But she was also very happy because the business management aspect just hit the spot for Song Jinhan.

He is like a fish in water.

As the two were talking, the loud speaker of the factory suddenly rang with the excited voice of the announcer, whose voice was so passionate that it could not conceal his excitement, "Everyone, please pay attention, everyone, please pay attention, on October 10, Zhong.YANG officially crushed the 'Gang of Four'..."

There was silence all around, and everyone looked at each other, as if trying to confirm with each other whether they were hallucinating. After a long time, they burst into cheers in disbelief.

The dark cloud that had hung over everyone's head for ten years finally dissipated at this moment.

In the evening, Xu Jianmin brought wine and the twins, a boy and a girl, to the home appliance factory. Song Jinhan also came back with a stubble.

Yun Tinglan and Song Jinhan knew that this day would come, but when the dawn finally came, they were still infected by everyone's emotions.

After that, good news came one after another. Xuehai Home Appliance Factory was listed by the Ministry of Light Industry as one of the five designated refrigerator manufacturers in the country.

In 1977, the home appliance factory won the third prize for scientific and technological progress from the Ministry of Light Industry. It was in such an atmosphere that the two children graduated from high school.

Yi An found Yun Tinglan and said he wanted to join the army. "My aunt said that if you join the army, you will regret it for a few years at most. If you don't join the army, you will regret it for the rest of your life. Mom, please arrange for my sister to work in the workers' hospital first. I will join the regiment as an educated youth. After a year or so, I will join the army."

Yun Tinglan subconsciously wanted to rub his head, but suddenly found that Yi An had grown taller again, and was actually half a head taller than her. When she looked at him again, she actually had to tilt her head back slightly.

"Want to go to college?"

Yi An squatted down and leaned on Yun Tinglan's legs in a rare docile manner. This was the intimacy he had never experienced since he became aware of the difference between men and women. He was silent for a while before saying, "I do, but I don't."

Yun Tinglan understood what he meant and stroked his back gently. "It's not a workers', peasants' and soldiers' university. It's a proper university. The wheel of history is always moving forward. The end of the Cultural Revolution is a signal. The college entrance examination will be restored... It won't be too far away."

"Think about it again and think it over carefully. No matter what choice you make, your father and I will not object. We will never regret it."

The next afternoon, Geng Shan came and brought Li Laidi with him. He talked about the resumption of the college entrance examination and wanted to ask Yun Tinglan to help find some review materials.

Yun Tinglan stored a lot of high school books in her space, as well as ten sets of "Self-study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry". She left one set for Yining, and asked Geng Shan to take the rest back to the island.

It might seem like a lot, but for the seven or eight hundred educated youth in the group, it was still a drop in the bucket.

On her way to and from get off work, Yun Tinglan was often stopped by people who wanted to borrow high school books and review materials, so she lent out Yi An's high school and junior high school textbooks.

Yi An still decided to join the army. He said, "Since the college entrance examination has been resumed, it doesn't matter if I take it a few years later. I still want to see the outside world and don't want to be a frog in a well."

The destination was Guangxi. Before he left, Yun Tinglan couldn't sleep for whole nights, because she knew that her son would have to go to the battlefield.

No matter how skilled Yi An is, he is still a mortal being and is merciless to swords and guns. As a mother, she knows there will be a war there, but she cannot stop it, and she is really tormented inside.

She worked all night to make various golden wound medicines, and finally hung a small gourd around his neck. She solemnly instructed, "There are three life-saving pills in it. As long as your head is not lost, it can save your life."
