Chapter Twenty
During this special ten-year period, a total of 17 million educated youths across the country went to the countryside. However, when cities recruited workers, another 12 million rural youths were recruited into the cities. Therefore, from a large perspective, the entire Langer is a
Reverse the situation. Young people from the city went to the countryside, and young people from the countryside went to the city. By 1976, because educated youths went to the countryside, especially many educated youths became rural teachers, the national enrollment rate, including rural children,
The enrollment rate in China has reached 96%. This is a very high number, far higher than that in India. Chinese people have completely eliminated illiteracy. Zhan Zhizhan’s first teacher, Fang Biru, was an educated youth from Yanjing.
What is unimaginable is that because many educated youths became barefoot doctors, rural medical care was greatly improved. After 1973, educated youths could also go to college, recruit workers, and become teachers as workers, peasants, and soldiers, and also
Some became soldiers. Naturally, there were other ways to return to the city, and the bad custom of "going through the back door" arose.
The story of Brother Hai and "Wu Erlang" made Zhan Zhizhan fascinated by the story, and he asked out of habit: "Oh... what happened next?"
"Fourth Brother" glanced at Zhan Zhizhan, smiled and said: "Later? Brother Hai had a good opportunity. Later he recruited workers and returned to the city, and returned to the port woolen factory to work as a worker. The second brother later also joined the army. And later
, the second brother changed his job and became a criminal policeman in the city bureau."
Zhan Zhizhan nodded repeatedly and praised: "Well... if you do good, you will prosper; if you do good, if you don't prosper, there will be disaster; if the disaster is over, you will prosper. If you do evil, you will have disaster; if you do evil, there will be no disaster.
!Brother Hai is so smart, the god of luck appointed Dingba to take care of him. Haha..."
"Siji" turned the steering wheel, dodged a cyclist, and said with a smile: "I said, Laoba, what did you say? It's 'chang' and 'disaster' again, it's like a tongue twister!
"
Zhan Zhizhan smiled and said: "I have no intention of showing off to the seventh brothers! What I said is a warning to the world, which is a couplet from the Yongding City God's Temple in Fujian. It means that those who do evil will surely perish, and those who do evil will not perish for a while.
, because the virtues accumulated by the ancestors are still functioning, and will perish when their effects are exhausted. People who do good deeds will definitely prosper. If they do good deeds and do not prosper for a while, it is because the disasters left by the ancestors are still there. If they are offset by good deeds, they will prosper.
"
"Siji" smiled and said: "I'm talking about Lao Ba, no wonder Brother Hai cares about you so much. You and Brother Hai really have something in common!"
Zhan Zhizhan smiled and said, "Brother Hai originally worked in a woolen factory, but why did he end up in a coal company?"
"Siji" shook his head, as if there was nothing he could do against Zhizhan's inquisitiveness, so he had no choice but to continue talking.
The winter in the port is long and extremely cold, and the people in the port use a lot of coal for heating during the winter. In order to solve the employment problem of the educated youth who have returned to the city, various state-owned enterprises in the port have also opened up new avenues to organize and establish educated youth service teams or to solve the worries of their employees.
Service cooperatives. Since then, "large collective" and "small collective" enterprises have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and even "May 7" factories have been set up on the streets. At this time, the coal company's little coal allocated by the state has
There is simply not enough. Without coal, factories cannot operate, and people have to suffer from the cold. Even the walls of houses are covered with ice and frost.
Zhan Zhizhan lit a "Qunying Cigarette" for "Four Minions" and put it to his mouth to listen to him continue talking. "Fifth Minions" greedily took a deep breath of "Qunying Cigarette", letting the smoke fill his lungs
After a long while, he slowly spit it out and continued talking.
It was by chance that Hai Ge was transferred to the coal company. Hai Ge's father had an old comrade who was the director of the coal company at the time. One day, Hai Ge's father's old comrade came to Hai Ge's house to visit Hai Ge's father. Two
The old comrades who fought against Chiang Kai-shek and crossed the Yalu River inevitably exchanged glasses for a small drink. When the wine was intoxicating, Brother Hai's father saw the old comrades sighing and sighing, and asked him why. So, the old comrades explained in detail
I told Brother Hai's father about the difficulties I encountered. Unexpectedly, the speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Brother Hai, who had always been silent, suddenly agreed to the matter with a pat on his chest.
"Haha... Brother Hai, could he have done such a big thing before?" Zhan Zhizhan interrupted and asked in disbelief.
But "Four Guys" seemed to be happy for Brother Hai that he had accomplished this thing at that time. He smiled and said: "Haha...Old man, even if you think about it, you will never think that in this world
It’s such a coincidence that something like this happened. Maybe it was Brother Hai’s luck. Sister-in-law Huimin’s father was the director of the Hecheng Mining Bureau at the time.”
"Sister-in-law Huimin's father is the director of the Hecheng Mining Bureau? Well, I only know that sister-in-law Huimin is beautiful and virtuous. It turns out that sister-in-law Huimin's father is such a big official." Hearing this, Zhan Zhizhi
Zhan couldn't help but feel sincerely happy for Brother Hai.
"Yes, sister-in-law Huimin's father gave part of the coal produced in Hecheng to the port. Brother Hai's father's comrades were so happy that they had to transfer Brother Hai to the coal company. As a result, Brother Hai's father couldn't defeat his old comrades, so he let him
Brother Hai went to a coal company and became the deputy section chief of the supply section. Brother Hai's father's comrade-in-arms was a very enlightened veteran cadre. In 1979, in order to reverse the loss-making situation of the coal company, he learned from the household contracting system in rural areas and built a coal mine.
, launched a pilot project of the economic contract responsibility system." The "Four Guys" were telling the story of Brother Hai while driving, and Zhan Zhizhan was fascinated by it.
Zhan Zhizhan had already heard that his hometown had implemented the "dividing farmland to each household" system, which was the second land reform! However, the contract responsibility system in the city was still very new to Zhan Zhizhan at that time.
Zhan Zhizhan thought that the city was probably similar to the countryside. There was no contract responsibility system, and the workers could not be motivated. They felt that no matter how much they worked, it would be the same. There used to be a story called "Three monks had no water to drink."
"Well, more people don't necessarily mean greater strength. Being able to wake up and adapt to the current situation and catch up is also the progress of the Chinese people.
The "Four Guys" threw the cigarette butt out of the window and continued: "Brother Hai contracted this coal field. He is very smart. Unlike traditional coal companies, which wait for the government to allocate and wait for coal buyers to come to their doorstep.
We changed the way we sell coal and deliver it door-to-door. We also used the relationship between Huimin’s sister-in-law and her father to buy more good coal.”
Brother Hai's family lives in Binjiang Coal Company. The people buying coal and the trucks pulling coal have not yet arrived so early in the morning. The large yard of Binjiang Coal Company seems very quiet. The person who opens the door to the "Four Minions" is a man who looks at him.
He must be an old man in his sixties or seventies, with only one arm and a limp. What surprised Zhan Zhizhan even more was that the "four men" respected this old man very much and called him Uncle Hou. Zhan Zhizhan
Later I found out that this "Uncle Hou" was actually less than fifty years old, but he had a lot of background.
Zhan Zhizhan had long heard that Brother Hai's father was an old revolutionary. After fighting in the "Battle of Liaoshen", he did not enter the customs with the army because he was injured. It was not until the "Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea" war started that Brother Hai's father found He joined the old army. In the famous Songgu Peak Blockade, Haige's father was seriously injured again. After recovering from the injury, he could no longer stay in the army, so he returned to the port and has been working as a leader in the port woolen factory. Uncle Hou He is also from the port, and was once a soldier in Brother Hai's father's company. During the Tokugawa battle in the second battle of the "Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea", Uncle Hou was injured by artillery shells all over his body in order to save Brother Hai's father, and was sawed off. One arm and one leg. Uncle Hou was illiterate. After he changed his job and returned to the port, even though he received subsidies, his life was very tight.
Uncle Hou has never married. He always said that since he is a disabled person, he will not be a burden to others! After Brother Hai contracted Binjiang Coal Company, he took Uncle Hou into the company and assigned him the position of chief of the security unit. Let him Dad and Uncle Hou, two old comrades-in-arms, could get along day and night and spend their old age happily. Brother Hai also mentioned to people many times that he wanted to provide for Uncle Hou until his death.
Upon entering Brother Hai's house, Zhan Zhizhan's first impression was that the family rules were very strict. Zhan Zhizhan was very reserved when he came to Brother Hai's house for the first time. When he met Brother Hai's parents, not only Zhan Zhizhan was sweating on his forehead, sitting upright opposite Brother Hai's parents, feeling uncomfortable all over. Even the usually uninhibited and fast-talking "Si Adze" became like an honest and good student who pays attention in class. Although Hai Ge's father, who is over sixty years old, has bright eyes, he is still quite amiable. After chatting with the two young people for a few words, he mainly chatted with Zhan Zhizhan: "Xiao Zhan, I heard Hai'er say about your father. Are you a member of the Eighth Route Army in 1938? It was already 46 years before I joined the revolution. Logically speaking, if your father was in our army, he should be my commander. Why would you bother the commander to send me red dates all the way? "
Zhan Zhizhan owed his ass and said humbly: "Uncle, I respect Brother Hai's character. I always think that with a son like Brother Hai who is kind, righteous and filial, his parents must be the same. Later I heard Brother Hai talk about uncle I was very heartbroken about his heroic deeds, so I told my father. My father also respects his uncle as an old hero who has lived and died for the party and the people, so..."
Hai Ge's father nodded repeatedly when he heard this, with a face full of pride, and said with a smile: "Well... I can't call him a hero, he just serves the people! However, when talking about Hai'er, he dare not say anything else, just 'filial piety' At one point, we, the old couple, are quite satisfied! No, we have been married for so many years, and Feifei is so old, and he still washes our feet every night."
