Jianguo followed his leader in a car and came to a yard, where the old man wanted to summon him.

Passing checkpoints along the way, they came to a yard.

A soldier informed them in advance and signaled the two to go in.

"report!"

"Enter!"

"Old leader, I brought Jianguo to you!"

"Yeah! Sit down!"

"Thank you, old leader!"

The old man put the documents down, stood up and sat down opposite the two of them.

"This must be our country's rising star, Comrade Jianguo!"

"Hello, leader! It's me!"

"Well, he is indeed a handsome man. He looks like Mr. Qian in his youth!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Jianguo doesn't deserve it!"

"Haha, young man, there's no need to be modest. I came here to ask you this time. Our country can produce this new car, but the output is not high enough. The industrial level is too poor. Some of them still need workers to rub them by hand. But the country needs foreign exchange, so I want to hear your thoughts and meet you, a rising star!"

"Boss, I don't know much about sales, but I think we can enter the high-end market in the name of private customization. Besides, I am very confident in this product. It is no worse than any off-road vehicle in the world!"

"Yes, that's fine, but it's a little difficult to open up the market! It's well known internationally that our industrial foundation is weak and our country is poor, so I want to hear your thoughts."

"Boss, I met a capitalist in a foreign country at that time. He was in charge of all the sales. I don't know too many people. If it really doesn't work out, we can find him for cooperation. As long as we don't suffer a loss, we can sell it at a higher price. Foreign capitalists are very rich!"

"Hahahaha! You, young comrade, are very much my type. Okay! We'll sell it at a higher price. Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about the future development of our country's industry. I want to hear the opinions of young people!"

. . . . . . . . .

An hour later, a soldier came over and said

"Boss, the food is ready!"

"Oh? Good! Come, Comrade Jianguo, have a meal with an old man like me, and we'll talk slowly. Liu Erlangzi, you can come too!"

"Old leader, you still provide meals today!"

"I'm not inviting you, you're just a by-product!"

The old man said angrily.

In the evening, Jianguo sat in the car dizzy and followed his leader back to the institute.

The old man kept persuading Jianguo to drink, using the excuse that he was too old to drink, saying that young people could drink and in large quantities, and that he was a heavy drinker when he was young.

Anyway, Jianguo couldn't find the way anymore and felt dizzy. The old man was either urging him to drink or asking him about future technology, industrial development and so on. Jianguo couldn't remember what he said and he felt very uncomfortable.

After he left, the old man smiled and said

"Very interesting little guy, very capable too, it's true that every generation has its own talents!"

After getting off the bus, Jianguo instinctively walked towards the dormitory. He refused his leader's idea of ​​sending him back and staggered back. Halfway through, he finally couldn't hold back his drinking.

Jianguo vomited loudly and heart-wrenchingly. In a daze, he seemed to feel someone patting his back, which made him feel good.

Jianguo was confused. He saw that the person who was holding him had a harmonica around his neck, which looked very similar to the one he had when he was a child.

The man helped him to the dormitory, poured him a cup of tea, tested the water temperature, helped him up and fed him.

Then he put him on the bed and covered him with the quilt.

Jianguo muttered in a daze

"That harmonica looks like the one I gave to Liu Siyao!"

The man paused, walked out and closed the door.

the other side,

"Leader, Comrade Jianguo just vomited. It was heartbreaking. When I was about to go up to help him upstairs, Miss Liu went and took him to the dormitory. Now she is cleaning the road."

Upon hearing this, the leader smiled like an auntie, then disappeared.

The next day, Jianguo had a splitting headache and felt uncomfortable in his stomach. He could not remember what happened yesterday. He only remembered that the kind old man had been urging him to drink.

When he went downstairs to get food, Master Zhang specially left rice porridge for him. For some reason, Master Zhang looked at him with a strange smile!

Jianguo didn't think too much about it and continued to study lithium batteries.

I don’t know why, but winter goes by so quickly, seemingly faster than other seasons. In the blink of an eye, the New Year has already begun.

On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, He Yuzhu was busy in the restaurant with his apprentices.

During the Chinese New Year, everyone wants to eat something delicious and get together with family and friends.

The Jinghua factory has already been closed for holiday. The goods that were supposed to be shipped for the New Year have already been shipped. The factory will reopen on the eighth day of the first lunar month next year.

Damao was also at home holding the child. This was the first time in his life that he took care of a child.

I don't know why such a big kid can be so noisy. He cries during the day and cries when he wakes up at night. Damao has dark circles under his eyes and is washing the poop cloth, feeling both pain and happiness.

Ever since Fangfang and Dantou got engaged, Yi Zhonghai and his wife put their worries aside and became happy all day long.

When you have nothing to do, go to the park to exercise, go out to buy groceries together, play chess in the yard, etc. It's so cool.

Now that technology has advanced and we have washing machines, the old couple only need to cook every day, play chess, and chat with people in the courtyard or alley, and live a very comfortable life.

Every time Fangfang comes back, she checks the old couple's health, measures their blood pressure, etc. They are living better than the old people 40 years later.

I have recently become addicted to playing cards. When I lose, I put a note on it. Every time I come back, it feels like there is someone with a mop on his head.

The Liu and Yan families lived a miserable life. Their business of smuggling televisions was investigated. It was not reported by anyone, but a routine investigation by the police.

Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiefang were sentenced to 10 years in prison, and their properties and televisions were confiscated.

Don't blame anyone else, just blame them for being too greedy.

Due to the severe crackdown this year, Li Huaide stopped doing it and was enjoying his life when he was taken away by the police.

You Fengxia had some business with other people behind his and Yan Liu's back, but You Fengxia had already run away.

Xu Damao was also taken away for questioning at that time. Like Li Huaide, he knew nothing and admitted nothing. He just said that he was running a legitimate business and paid taxes legally.

Later, someone from higher up intervened and Li Huaide and Xu Damao were released directly.

According to my country's Constitution, Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiefang only needed to be sentenced to three years in prison and pay a fine. However, because they made groundless accusations, someone took advantage of the crackdown and sentenced them to ten years in prison.

Xu Damao was very lucky. Now that he had a daughter, he just wanted to kowtow to Sha Zhu.

When the news reached the compound, the two elderly people almost died on the spot. It was Yi Zhonghai who organized people to send them to the hospital.

Liu Guangtian came to pay the medical expenses for the old couple Liu Haizhong, and called his wife to serve them.

Yan Bugui was in a miserable situation, none of his children were willing to come.

Someone found Yan Jiecheng and his wife, but Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li had no money, so they invested it all.

In the end there was no choice but to have the money Yi Zhonghai paid be considered as borrowed by Yan Bugui, and now the old couple is picking up scraps to pay off the debt.

So brothers, don’t ever think about taking shortcuts, you must know when to quit, otherwise this will be the end.

The two families originally made a lot of money through illegal means and enjoyed making quick money, but they just couldn't resist the greed in their hearts. They dared to do so during the crackdown. It can only be said that they deserved it!

If someone hadn't stopped the matter and the responsibility had not been taken by those two guys, the two families would have been reunited in the trading floor.

Three generations of the two families have no hope of getting a job in the civil service exam, not because of the political review, but because Li Huaide’s sons would trample them to death and let those two guys bite people at will!

Fortunately, both old men have retired and have pensions, otherwise their lives would be even more miserable.

So, don't worry about cleaning up this and that, they will kill themselves.

The Jia family has been living well behind closed doors over the years. Qin Huairu and Jia Geng are a dual-income family. Although their work levels are not high, their combined salary is not small.

Qin Huairu has grown old. Ever since Banggeng entered the steel rolling mill, she has stopped fighting with male workers. She took advantage of the fact that Yi Zhonghai was still being re-employed to pull herself out of the quagmire. She is indeed the woman with the highest rank in the play.

After Jia Geng got married, he had a child. With no one to teach him a bad lesson and after those few years of education in northern Shaanxi, his personality became more and more like Jia Dongxu. He didn't do anything weird and he has been very honest in recent years.

Jia Dang got married and went to the south with her husband to work as a businessman. She hasn't been back for a long time.

After graduating from Huaihua University, I became a teacher in high school, a very noble profession, and I was also allocated a house.

He would come to the courtyard every year and every festival. Because he was not married, Qin Huairu would always urge him to get married.

Huaihua always said that she had not met someone who was truly good to her.

Jia Zhangshi is living a good life, with four generations living under one roof. Except for her habit of going to the park to take the blame, there is nothing wrong with her!

Dantou has already written a letter, asking us to prepare more things when he comes back to celebrate the New Year.

On the 27th, all enterprises were preparing for holidays. With the central government protecting state-owned enterprises, every factory seemed to have new life.

Jianguo is also going to have a holiday. He has done a lot of things this year. After coming back from the old man, he redesigned the air conditioners and refrigerators that he had seen outside. These home appliances focused on exquisite appearance and energy-saving internal consumption, hoping that they can be helpful to the country.

The rest of the time he spent studying lithium batteries, where he met two new companions.

One is a sister who is much older than him, she can be called aunt. Her surname is Huang. She studies semiconductors and is now very interested in chip research.

Due to the focus of the times and the lack of money, chips can be imported from abroad, and domestic chip research has been ignored.

Jianguo was very interested in chips and believed that future modernization and automation would be inseparable from chips. Both of them were workaholics, and they occasionally communicated with each other and gradually became familiar with each other.

The two of them made some gadgets together, such as remote-controlled airplanes, remote-controlled toy cars, thermal imaging detectors, etc.

The second one is Miss Liu.

Ever since he tinkered with the off-road vehicle, Miss Liu appeared in his world, either after the celebration banquet or after the old man summoned her.

Jianguo is a workaholic. Sometimes he is so busy at work that he forgets to eat. Miss Liu always leaves food for him and heats it up for him.

Later, I sent it directly to him, and also sent Aunt Huang's as well.

Jianguo is indeed a science student and a genius. I have been working with him for several months but I have never asked him his name. I always thought it was a special care from the leader and didn’t think much about it.

Miss Liu always likes every little gadget she makes.

Gradually, the two became familiar with each other.

Aunt Huang would always smile meaningfully every time she saw them, which made Jianguo feel puzzled.

Today is a holiday, and everyone has collected their wages and allowances and gone home.

"Miss Xiao Liu, where are you from? I'll take you there!"

Jianguo could drive the car he produced back home, so he went to ask his two companions.

"My home is in Qinghai. I don't go home for the New Year. I go back during my regular vacation every year."

"Oh, is that so? Then I'll send you dumplings during the Chinese New Year when I have time!"

"it is good!"

Miss Liu said with a smile.

"Auntie Huang, can I give you a ride?"

"Okay! Jianguo, I won't be polite then!"

Jianguo drove towards the city with Aunt Huang.

On the way, the two chatted.

"Jianguo, don't forget to send dumplings to Miss Liu. You must do it since you promised. The little girl is quite pitiful. She has been alone every New Year for the past two years!"

"I will, Aunt Huang! By the way, from my accent, Miss Liu seems to be from Beijing? How come her hometown is in Qinghai?"

"Oh, her father said something wrong during the movement. He was originally from Beijing, but later the whole family went to support the Third Front construction, so they went to Qinghai.

But her father died in an accident a few years ago, and was rehabilitated in 78, so Miss Liu joined the army.

Don’t be fooled by her young age, she used to be a military doctor and had been to the battlefield!

Now her brother has settled down in Qinghai, and the house in Beijing is abandoned. She finds it troublesome and doesn’t live there often, so she spends the New Year at the institute.”

Jianguo is feeling very strange now, with excitement, familiarity, loss, and a little confusion in his mind.

For some reason, he remembered the harmonica he had vaguely seen that night when he was drunk, and it became clearer and clearer in his mind.

Jianguo asked for some unknown reason.

"Auntie Huang! What's Miss Liu's full name?"

The car stopped at the alley intersection near Aunt Huang's home. Aunt Huang opened the door and was about to get out when she heard Jianguo's question and responded.

"Jianguo, come on, you don't even know the girl's name after knowing her for two months! Are you still young?

Listen carefully, Miss Liu's full name is Liu Siyao, she is 23 years old this year, a few months older than you!"
