Chapter 62: Entering the Four Modernizations in Advance

The other members of the group did not attend the meeting of the leaders, and everyone got together and talked about it as the most interesting gossip. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIn the past two years, after the opening of the country, the term overseas relations has changed from a derogatory meaning to a positive one.

In the past, whoever has overseas connections in the family means that there will be endless troubles, large and small sports will involve you, and the children in the family will be more than ten times more difficult than others if they want to join the party, join the army, be promoted, and go to school.

And now, having overseas connections has become the envy of everyone, which means that you will have overseas Chinese remittances from overseas, and there will be all kinds of new toys. It is said that overseas Chinese are all rich in money, and they can give you a refrigerator or a color TV casually, which can allow you to enter the four modernizations in advance overnight.

Of course, from an official point of view, overseas relations are still an unstable factor, and we need to be vigilant. But this point of view is to talk about it at a formal meeting, in private, those bureau chiefs, secretaries, etc., don't they also want to find these people to pull relationships and exchange foreign exchange?

"Haha, this Xiao Feng is really a good person with a good reward. He lent me all his pocket money, which made me quite embarrassed. Now it's okay, he has a grandmother in Germany, can he still lack foreign exchange?" Hao Yawei said with a smile, the smile on his face in the past few days has been much more than when he was in the Metallurgical Bureau in a month, which is obviously thanks to the cheap Leica camera.

Ji Ming also said: "Isn't it, in the next step, we all have to find Xiao Feng to exchange foreign exchange, I estimate that his grandmother will definitely give him a large amount of pocket money, this is a grandson who has never met." ”

"What is pocket money, refrigerators, color TVs, and tape recorders, these things will definitely match him with Qi Luo, even if she doesn't hurt her grandson, can she still hurt her son?" Yang Yongnian said.

He Lili has her own concerns, she said: "If I were Xiao Feng, I would ask my grandmother to help me connect with me to study in Germany. My father's unit has a deputy director like this, his grandfather is in the United States, and he only got in touch with China two years ago, and the deputy director immediately resigned from his public position and went to study in the United States. Don't look at a deputy director who is quite valuable in China, compared to being able to study in the United States, it's a ......"

She wanted to say a disdainful word, but when the words came to her lips, she suddenly remembered that everyone in this room was the director and deputy director, and she didn't seem to be suitable for such a slap in the face, so she quickly stopped and replaced it with an expression like "you know".

Yang Yongnian heard her subtext, but he didn't think it was wrong, he said: "That's the way, if I have overseas connections and can get me to study abroad, I can also throw away this deputy director." ”

"A deputy director is a bird!" Ji Ming said, "I have inquired, the salary of an ordinary worker in Germany is more than 1,000 marks, and being a primary school teacher is at least 2,000 marks, and it can rise by 30 or 50 marks a year." Lao Hao, you are in the right place, how much is your salary? Less than one-tenth of other people's salary, right? People can buy a Laika with a month's salary, you smoke gold leaf every day, you can't even buy the front door, and you can't afford to buy a camera, what do you mean by this director?"

"Why do you say that you are going to open me?" Hao Yawei was a little embarrassed, he saved money to buy a camera, which can be regarded as an open joke among the middle-level cadres of the Metallurgical Bureau, but there is also He Lili from the Foreign Affairs Bureau, isn't it a shame for a young girl from a foreign unit to listen to this kind of ugly thing?

"Lily, you have to be mentally prepared, Xiao Feng's recognition of his relatives, maybe the work in the future will not be able to point to him, we will have you left as a translator in our group, you wait and cry." Yang Yongnian helped Hao Yawei divert the conversation and took He Lili to laugh.

He Lili shook her hair and said, "Then what's the way to let the leader have a headache." Anyway, I don't understand the professional vocabulary of your Metallurgical Bureau. ”

"Alas, Director Luo and Secretary Hu are probably having a headache. Hao Yawei said sympathetically.

Everyone firmly believed that Feng Xiaochen was about to ascend to the sky in one step. Compared with his temporary status in the Metallurgical Bureau, being able to study abroad is undoubtedly a golden and righteous path. There have been similar news in various units, some rotten boys who usually don't learn and don't know how to go abroad can be made out of the country by overseas relatives, Feng Xiaochen is proficient in German, and he also has a certain professional foundation, plus a grandmother in Germany, isn't it a matter of words to want to go abroad?

"Xiaochen, do you want me to help you get in touch and come to Germany to study for two years?"

In the small meeting room of the hotel, the third uncle Feng Hua, who hurriedly came over with his German daughter-in-law, asked Feng Xiaochen like this.

Everyone already knows the news that Feng Weiren has died. After crying and being sad, everyone brought the topic back to reality. Yan Leqin is naturally full of concern for her two sons and daughters-in-law and grandson who are far away in China, and Feng Hua also has a feeling of blood thicker than water for the two brothers who have no impression, and is willing to do something for the two brothers' families.

Through the conversation, Feng Xiaochen learned about the current situation of these relatives in Germany. Yan Leqin had been teaching at the University of Bonn, and his research direction was the same as Feng Weiren's, which was metallurgical and mechanical, and he retired only a few years ago. Feng Hua studied finance and is currently an executive at the Bank of Minburg in Germany. As for Feng Shuyi, a German aunt, she studied law and is currently a partner and practicing lawyer in a law firm.

Cousin Feng Wenru has nothing to say, an 11-year-old child who is still in elementary school.

Yan Leqin and Feng Hua both have some understanding of China's economic situation. In recent years, there have been many Chinese who have come to Germany, and they will occasionally contact these people, in addition to inquiring about Feng Weiren's news, the rest will ask about China's economy, society, and so on. They know that the monthly wage of a Chinese worker is only 50 to 100 marks, and although there is a difference in the price of goods between the two countries, they can still imagine what standard of living this money can sustain.

Before meeting Feng Xiaochen, Yan Leqin had chatted with Feng Hua countless times, saying that if he could contact Feng Weiren, Feng Li, Feng Fei and others in China, he must send them more money to help them buy some large appliances that are scarce among Chinese, so that they can live a rich life. Because he knew that there were some other overseas Chinese around him who helped his children and nephews in China to contact him to study in Germany, Feng Hua had already discussed with his mother that if the children of his two elder brothers wanted to study abroad, he would do his best to help.

It is natural for Feng Hua to have such thoughts, when he was very young, he envied other children who had older brothers and sisters. At that time, his mother, Yan Leqin, always told him that he had two older brothers, both in China, and that one day the relationship between China and Germany would ease, and he could go back to China to find these two elder brothers. Over the years, the image of the two elder brothers has taken root in his heart, and when he saw his eldest nephew who looked cool today, Feng Hua couldn't help but cry.

"Xiaochen, your German is so good, and you also said that you learned metallurgy and machinery from your grandfather, so it is very easy for you to study in Germany. My grandmother still has some friends in the education community in Germany, and I will call them tomorrow and connect you with a good school and a good major. Tuition, living expenses, etc., you don't have to worry about it at all. ”

Yan Leqin said to Feng Xiaochen with a loving face. She imagined in her heart that Feng Xiaochen was wearing a doctor's hat and looking handsome, and superimposed this look with the image of Feng Weiren 50 years ago.

"Grandma, uncle, let's take a long-term view of studying abroad. Feng Xiaochen smiled slightly, and politely declined the kindness of the two elders. If he is not a traverser, then such a good opportunity, he will definitely not refuse, there are many young people of the same age in China, and a distant relative who can't be beaten by eight poles abroad, all crying and shouting for the family to help contact and study abroad. But now this Feng Xiaochen has two lifetimes of experience, and studying abroad is not attractive to him.

Seeing his nephew's breezy face, Feng Hua's heart sank slightly. To be honest, he was mentally prepared for his relatives in China to hold his legs and ask for this and that, without it, because he had seen a lot of this kind of thing. The nephew in front of him is only 19 years old, facing such a temptation, there is not the slightest excitement and gaffe on his face, with this determination alone, he is worthy of being his Feng Hua's good nephew.

"What, Xiaochen, do you have any other ideas?" Feng Hua asked.

Feng Xiaochen said: "Third uncle, I understand the hard work of you and grandma. However, I am now working in a state agency, and I have come to Germany this time to talk about a major equipment introduction project, which can improve China's metallurgical capacity and metallurgical equipment manufacturing technology to a higher level. At this time, I really can't think about my future, it's better to do a good job first, and then it's not too late to think about other things. ”

After hearing this, Feng Hua glanced at his mother suspiciously, then turned back to Feng Xiaochen and asked, "Didn't you just say that you are just an ordinary translator in this delegation, and you are also a temporary loaner?

"It's my job after all, and it's not good to let go halfway through the work. Feng Xiaochen explained.

"You can quit this job. Feng Hua said, "With your talent, come to Germany to study for a few years, your grandmother is a professor of metallurgy and machinery, she personally guides you, and it is not difficult for you to get a doctorate in metallurgy or mechanical engineering." When the time comes, you will be able to choose any job in the German industry, and do you still need to care about your current temporary job?"

Feng Xiaochen smiled and said, "But, third uncle, I don't plan to work in Germany." ”
