Chapter 6 When your heart is moved, you must act
"What are you going to do?" He Guodong looked at Yang Weiping deeply and asked solemnly.
In the past, Yang Weiping had never expressed any opinion on the current turbulent situation in front of them. How could all of a sudden, this little brother be able to say such in-depth and thought-provoking words?
The tone and demeanor of his voice when he spoke, where could he still find a trace of immaturity! I felt as if he had matured overnight, and he had become even more mature than him and Zhou Yuanchao.
"Work during the day and study at night. Yang Weiping replied without hesitation: "Knowledge changes the world, knowledge changes destiny, knowledge is productivity, and science and technology will become the primary productive force in the future." No matter when the country resumes the college entrance examination, we can no longer relax, we must pick up the textbooks we have left behind, review carefully, and always be ready!"
"Always be ready. He Guodong repeated softly: "Always ready, always ready." ”
"Always be ready. Zhou Yuanchao also muttered to himself on the side.
"Wei Ping is right!" He Guodong clapped his legs and said excitedly: "We should not complain about the heavens and worry about others, no matter what kind of turbulent situation our country is in now, we should firmly believe that this situation will definitely not last like this! Ten years, a whole ten years, this long cold winter, there will always be an end day, spring, sooner or later! Aid to the DPRK, we two are really ashamed to be brothers! Such an obvious truth, why didn't we think of it, figure it out?!"
"Yes! What a shame!" Zhou Yuanchao's eyes also lit up, and he nodded with shame on his face and said: "We really shouldn't lose confidence, we shouldn't let it go." Wei Ping is right, those old leaders of the central government, they will never allow our country to continue to be so chaotic, otherwise the great rivers and mountains that countless revolutionary martyrs have fought down with their lives and blood will really become full of holes!"
"Adversity is the best environment to sharpen our will and mental quality. He Guodong said happily: "Perhaps the price of the growth of our generation is a tremendous test that the party and the state are waging on our peers in the republic! Wei Ping said it well: No matter when this test ends, we should not relax in the slightest, still less should we be depressed, pessimistic, and disappointed! We can only start from ourselves, set strict demands on ourselves, be self-reliant, self-reliant, self-respecting, and self-respecting! Always be ready for the sake of the country and the nation!"
"Brother Guodong, Brother Aiding the Dynasty, our generation will surely become the mainstay of the country's prosperity and the rejuvenation and development of the nation!" Yang Weiping looked at the two elder brothers with blazing eyes, stretched out his right palm, and said firmly and forcefully: "Let us work together for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, work hard, and be ready at all times!"
He Guodong stretched out his right palm and held Yang Weiping's palm tightly, and said categorically: "Always ready!"
Zhou Yuanchao stretched out his hands, clasped the palms of He Guodong and Yang Weiping up and down, and said resolutely: "Always ready!"
He Guodong and Yang Weiping invariably put their left hands up, and the three brothers shouted loudly at the same time: "Always ready!"
The educated youths and villagers in the distance all turned their faces and looked at each other when they heard the shouts of Yang Weiping, Zhou Yuanchao, and He Guodong. I don't know what kind of nerves these three guys are having, but they are probably celebrating Yang Weiping's initial recovery from a serious illness. None of us felt anything special or wrong.
At noon, Su Changgui finally showed up. However, the captain of the Shangling Village production team said nothing else. Just leave two villagers to stay in the field, and the others go home to eat, and then come to the field at two o'clock in the afternoon, and use carts, carts, mules, and carts to send the grain to the commune and weigh it into the warehouse. …,
He Guodong was carried by Zhou Yuanchao and Yang Weiping in turn, walking and stopping, all the way back to the Zhiqing Point.
For lunch, corn grits with bran vegetables and a large pot of boiled pumpkin. He Guodong, Zhou Yuanchao and others ate with sad faces one by one, but Yang Weiping sat there chewing and swallowing slowly, looking like he was relishing.
Anyway, Su Changgui had already been granted leave, and He Guodong and Yang Weiping didn't plan to work in the fields in the afternoon, and they didn't miss the two of them to send grain to the commune.
After lunch, Yang Weiping returned to the room, closed the door, and went straight to the two suitcases made of rattan at the end of the kang.
These two rattan boxes are also one of the few relics left to him by Yang Weiping's parents.
One box contained a few sets of change of clothes, and the other box was full of books.
None of these books were literary novels, except for the 1963 edition of the 1963 edition of the 1963 edition of the Self-Study of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, all of which were in advanced mathematics, advanced physics, and advanced chemistry, and some were even in Russian.
Yang Weiping took out the "Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Self-study Series", and started from the first "Algebra", turning the pages carefully and carefully, and pondering the knowledge structure of this series all afternoon.
With his knowledge and vision, of course, he found too many deficiencies in it, and even a few obvious mistakes.
Before being reborn, Yang Weiping used his spare time to personally edit a series of books on Huaxia Power Industry, and also published several professional works on material research and engine research, and he was quite familiar with how to write a series of books.
In the middle, He Guodong took a copy of "Dialectical Materialism" twice, and when he saw Yang Weiping sitting there pondering, he didn't bother him and went back to his room to read.
Dinner, similar to Chinese food, Yang Weiping didn't go out, but Zhou Yuanchao brought it to him.
When night fell, because there was no electricity at Zhiqing Point, Yang Weiping could only light a kerosene lamp and fight at night.
It wasn't until two o'clock in the morning that he went through the entire set of "Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Self-study Series" from beginning to end, and easily marked the places that needed to be adapted one by one.
In the dead of night, the singing of crickets and the chirping of frogs are intertwined into a waltz of a summer night. The occasional barking of dogs and the mooing of cows were so far away, as if they came from nature.
Putting down the book and pen on the kang, Yang Weiping couldn't help but stretch his long waist, looked up at the alarm clock, and at 2:26, Yang Weiping couldn't help but feel that this time passed really fast.
Coming down from the kang, Yang Weiping pushed the door out lightly with his shoes and steps.
The moonlight leaked like flowing water in the empty courtyard, and at night in the mountain village, the air was so clean and cold that people were coming from all directions, and if you inhaled it, you couldn't bear to spit it out. The scent of unknown wildflowers in the wind is rich and persistent.
The work of compiling the book was much easier than Yang Weiping had expected. One-third of the content of the 63-year edition of the "Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Self-study Series" can be retained after slight modification and adjustment. The most important thing is that the catalog index of this set of books is no problem, and he doesn't have to bother rebuilding the framework.
In my memory, in 1977, the only winter college entrance examination in the country, more than 5.7 million people took the exam. Although less than 300,000 people were admitted according to the conditions of the school at that time, it inspired thousands of people to pick up books again and join the army of students.
More than 5.7 million people! These people are scholars with university dreams, and they are the first target audience of the "New Series of Self-study on Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry."
This is just the first year that the Chinese people have not been prepared!
In the next few years, the number of people who take the gaokao will double consecutively. The students who have been delayed by the ten years of turmoil will rush out of the countryside, factories, and troops one after another, in order to pass the college entrance examination and completely change their fate. …,
Yang Weiping can now foresee that the set of "New Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Self-study Series" that he is about to start compiling will surely create a miracle in the Chinese publishing industry, even if it is a miracle in the publishing industry in the whole world!
Although it was late at night, Yang Weiping did not feel sleepy. An unprecedented passion boiled in his blood.
If you are tempted, you must act immediately!
Taking a deep breath, Yang Weiping took several deep breaths in succession, turned back to the house, closed the door gently, turned out a stack of material paper that had not been used for a long time from the rattan box, climbed onto the kang, sat cross-legged on the side of the small kang table, adjusted the brightness of the kerosene horse lamp to the maximum, and lay on the table to write hard.
The good habit of reading books, taking notes, and writing diaries for many years has made Yang Weiping not unable to write with a pen because there is no computer in this era.
With the sliding of the gold-inlaid tip of the "Parker" fountain pen given to him by his father in Yang Weiping's hand, the beautiful, neat and atmospheric simplified Chinese characters are like beautiful elves flying and beating on the white material paper.
Unconsciously, the light of the kerosene lantern changed from bright to dim and gradually dimmed.
The vision gradually became blurred, and Yang Weiping could only helplessly stop the pen, pick up the cap of the pen, put the pen on it, and tighten it.
Alas, it was a time of poverty and whiteness, and there was not even an electric light.
I turned my head and looked at the alarm clock, it was almost five o'clock in the morning. I looked out the window at the already hazy sky, and I couldn't sleep anyway.
The kerosene lantern finally burned out the last drop of kerosene, and the lamp swayed and went out, and the room suddenly became dark and dreary.
Through the faint starlight that came in through the window, Yang Weiping put the books, paper, and pens into the rattan box in the dark, and thought about what reason to find to enter the county today, pens, water, materials, and paper had to be bought, and the most important thing was to buy a few more lanterns to come back as a backup, and to prepare a bucket of kerosene.
All of this costs money!
If you don't have money, you can't do anything!
Yang Weiping reopened the rattan box that had just been closed, took out the books on it, and took out a rectangular red cloth bag from the bottom of the box.
With a heavy heart, Yang Weiping gently uncovered the red cloth layer by layer, and a thick stack of ten-yuan denominations came into his eyes.
At the top of this stack of renminbi is a black-and-white photograph one inch wide and two inches long.
The photograph shows a young couple in a modest military uniform without a cockade and collar pin, sitting in the middle of them with a baby in their arms.
Yang Weiping carefully pinched up the photo, held it up in front of his eyes, looked deeply at the young couple in the photo, and muttered: "Dad, Mom, please forgive my son for being unfilial." The money that your second elder left to his son, his son has never dared to use half a cent easily, but now, I am inexplicably reborn back in 1976.
I don't know if the spirit of your second elder blessed his son in heaven, but I only know that this is a gift from God to his son and a chance for our country and nation to be reborn! China's future engine industry needs money, and it needs a lot of money, and this money is so much that even a country can sometimes find it difficult to afford it.
However, please rest assured, there is no difficulty that can be difficult for your son! For the sake of the future prosperity of China and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, my son has no choice now, and must use the money left by your second elder to act as a fulcrum to pry the earth! My son assures you that I will do everything I can in my life, at any cost, by unscrupulous means, and to create the strongest and most powerful heart for our motherland!"
