"The latest news, the Yunnan-Myanmar Railway has been officially established today. The railway will follow the route of World War II, and the old roadbed will be renovated and restored, and some sections may be revised. According to the investigation, the whole line base is basically intact, and some sections of the road have been expanded and renovated after the founding of the People's Republic of China, so the construction speed will exceed expectations, and the entire construction period will be three to five years, that is, it is expected that the whole line will be opened to traffic.
The new Yunnan-Burma Railway starts from Kunming, passing through Anning, Chuxiong, Nanhua, Xiangyun and Dali along the way. Then from Dali to Yongping County, Baoshan City, Longling County, Dehong Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, directly to the border port Menghai.
After the completion of this railway, it will be connected with the main domestic railway arteries of the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, the Shanghai-Kunming Railway, and the Chengdu-Kunming Railway, and will play a huge role in promoting the improvement of traffic conditions in the southwest."
"Ah Zhen, you are right, sure enough, the project is set up and the railway is repaired, it will be much more convenient for us to go home to visit relatives in the future, whether it is to Guangzhou or back to Shanghai, we can train directly from Menghai, all the way to hahahaha"
Kong Lingchen danced with his hands, and then quickly turned up the volume of the radio to the maximum, so that his wife Xue Zhen, who was still in the kitchen, could clearly hear the good news.
"I know, it's going to take three or five years, what are you happy about" Xue Zhen held up a big belly and came out of the kitchen with a plate of steamed crucian carp and put it on the dining table.
Kong Lingchen is a native of Shanghai and likes to eat fish since he was a child. Although there is no sea here, there are only river fish and no sea fish, but the crucian carp meat is fresh and tender, and he likes to eat it.
In the past two years of development, not to mention that the military sub-district has its own poultry and egg supply base, the masses in various townships and towns and the Northeast Military Region next door have risen up in breeding fever. They purchased chickens and duck pups and piglets from the military sub-district breeding bases, and raised them at home, raising as few as 10 or 8 chickens and as many as dozens or hundreds of chickens.
At present, the common people of the military sub-district and the adjacent Northeast Military Region have all used money to buy rice from the military sub-district, and they are no longer willing to exchange the coarse grain they grow at home for the military sub-district. The coarse grains are ground by themselves, and according to the manuals provided by the breeding base, various necessary ingredients such as fish bones and stones are added, and they are prepared into feed for raising chickens, ducks and pigs.
When the military sub-district converted a small valley into a small reservoir to raise all kinds of freshwater fish, the common people from the nearby towns also came to watch in an endless stream. After actively asking the reservoir for experience in various fish farming, they went home to dig a large pond to carry out aquaculture.
At present, there are so many kinds of meat, poultry, eggs, and fish raised in military sub-districts that every household cannot eat all the big fish and meat. After the military sub-district adopted the policy of encouraging the catering industry and provided small loans, large and small restaurants immediately appeared in the restaurant street of the new city and the street shops in various communities. Shandong, Sichuan, Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Suzhou, Hunan, Hui and other well-known cuisines in China can be seen, as well as various kinds of snacks such as cross-bridge rice noodles, xiaolongbao, plate duck, wonton, and so on, so that the more than 100,000 people in the military sub-region can feast their mouths.
In just a few months, the restaurant street has become famous, and many families come here every day after work to have a tooth sacrifice. Many girls also bring their boyfriends here to go shopping and enjoy a variety of delicacies along the way. Even the people who have made a small profit from part-time work, vegetable sales, and family farming in the Northeast Military Region next door like to come here to entertain guests on festive days.
Before evening, this one-kilometer street is full of people and bustling.
Even if the restaurants are open, they still can't finish it. As a result, some of the meat, poultry and eggs were also sold to China, and the other party provided transportation capacity and transported them to Kunming by land to meet the non-staple food needs of Kunming citizens.
Thanks to the blessing of the military division, Kong Lingchen has no problem even if he eats fish every meal and gets tired of eating.
During the Spring Festival this year, the young couple went to Shanghai to reunite with their parents, and they were supposed to stay for a week. turned out to be only the third year of junior high school, and Kong Lingchen was clamoring to come back. Of course, this is not how much he loves the military division, but he is really a taste here, even in Shanghai, where the whole country concentrates its efforts to supply, the quantity, type, and taste of meat are still too small, and he can't eat as much as he wants, and he can't satisfy his appetite at all.
Kong Lingchen sometimes goes there to eat with colleagues, masters, and unit leaders, but it is more of a social. When it comes to eating, he feels that the craftsmanship of the restaurant is not as good as that of his family Ah Zhen.
"Ling Chen, it's time to eat" Xue Zhen brought out the same dishes, set up the dishes and chopsticks, and put a small pot of Shaoxing rice wine, and greeted loudly.
"Hmm" Kong Lingchen put down his crossed Erlang's legs and came to the small restaurant.
He is a machismo, Xue Zhen is in charge of the house, and he doesn't need to cook and cook, so when he gets home, he just listens to the radio, reads the newspaper, reads the book, and doesn't even sweep the floor. Although Xue Zhen is pregnant now, she is still doing it, and she doesn't let her husband do housework at all.
He Yuanchao came to their house several times to play, but when he saw it, he was angry and scolded him for not knowing the blessings in the midst of blessings.
But Xue Zhen always protected him and didn't let He Yuanchao learn a lesson, but he was full of anger. It is difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs, and outsiders can't intervene if they like him, and over time, He Yuanchao has come less, out of sight and out of mind, just let the two of them go by themselves.
On the dining table made of huanghuali wood, there is a plate of steamed fish, a plate of vegetarian stir-fried vegetables, a bowl of braised pork, and a pot of white mushroom vermicelli soup.
Steamed fish is Kong Lingchen's favorite food, braised pork is also according to the Shanghainese method, fragrant, fat but not greasy, red ang, trembling, chopsticks poke rotten, put in the mouth and melt in the mouth. And the taste is sweeter than that of Hunan cuisine, like cake is better than meat.
After following Kong Lingchen for so many years, Xue Zhen had already changed his taste with him and became half Shanghainese.
"Ling Chen, I went to the hospital for a check-up today, and the doctor said that the situation was very good, so I could raise the fetus with peace of mind. Next time I check, I'm a little scared if you go with me. Xue Zhen helped Kong Lingchen remove the fish bones, put a chopstick fish meat in his bowl, and said softly.
Kong Lingchen frowned: "I go to work every day, how can I have time to have too many orders in the factory to do now, and I am the backbone of the Seiko workshop, so I really don't have time." Otherwise, you can call the DPRK and ask him to take a day off and accompany you to the hospital. ā
Xue Zhen was silent, silently helping him pick the fish bones, but his eyes were a little red.
"What, I'm angry" Kong Lingchen sensitively noticed the change in his wife and took her chopsticks out of his hand
took it down, put it aside, held her hand and said softly, "Ah Zhen, I know that I have wronged you all these years, I remember all these in my heart, but in fact, I am reluctant." But there is no way, the military sub-district is developing rapidly, and we are thirsty for talent, and those of us who came first will not take this opportunity to climb up as soon as possible, and when the order stabilizes in the future, it will be difficult to move up again. I understand, in fact, you know this, it's just sad. I don't have time to spend with you, it's me who is wrong, you see how about this Sunday, we go to Daegu Park to climb the mountain together."
"Hmm" Xue Zhen responded angrily with a nasal voice, and burst into laughter, "This is what you said, if you don't come back from overtime on Sunday, I won't spare you."
"Don't worry, I will never forget what I promised, don't cry, you see, the nasal bubbles are coming out" Kong Lingchen held her shoulders and smiled cheaply.
"Oh, it's annoying, don't look at it" Xue Zhen was startled, afraid that he would see his ugly appearance, so he quickly turned around, took out a handkerchief and a small mirror, "How can there be a snasal bubble Kong Lingchen, you bastard came to bully me again"
"Hahahaha, of course I'm going to bully you, and I'm going to bully you for the rest of my life, even if I die, I won't let go of your hand" Kong Lingchen laughed, pulled her shoulders, leaned over, gently kissed her on the lips and smacked her lips, and tasted back, "How weird the taste"
"What's weird, why don't I feel it" Xue Zhen immediately became nervous and licked her lips, not feeling anything unusual.
"Yes, I'm also strange, I'll taste it again," Kong Lingchen leaned down again, this time with a deep kiss, kissing Xue Zhen almost out of breath, her cheeks were crimson, before she raised her head and nodded thoughtfully, "I tasted it, it's sour." My daughter-in-law must have drunk a lot of vinegar in the kitchen just now, otherwise why would there be such a big sour smell when she just spoke?"
"Kong Lingchen, you dead man, I will definitely not spare you today" Xue Zhen's confused eyes suddenly sobered up, and she was angry, grabbed the chopsticks on the table and knocked them on him.
After making fun and laughing, her mood also improved, and there were a few more smiles on her face.
"Ah Zhen, don't be angry with me" Kong Lingchen moved the stool to the side, let her lean comfortably in his arms, and said with a somewhat lonely expression, "Actually, I am also wrong." Because I wrote several applications for joining the party, Zou Yongdong, who entered the factory with me, wrote an application for joining the party, which was written under the mobilization of the branch, and the result was passed, I felt a little unbalanced in my heart, holding my breath, so I ignored your feelings these days, right"
Xue Zhen didn't wait for him to finish, so she covered his mouth with her hand: "Don't say sorry to me, we are husband and wife." Aren't husbands and wives relatives who are in the same boat through thick and thin, sharing life and death, when you are depressed, if you don't send it to me, who else can you send it?"
"Thank you" Kong Lingchen kissed the edge of her hair and said angrily, "That Zou Yongdong entered the technical school with me at the beginning, and he was with the same master, who is my senior brother." But others are stupid, they can't drive well for half a day to learn a machine tool, and they are also bored, and they don't say anything all day long. The master didn't like him, he liked me, he taught me more carefully than he taught others, and I learned quickly. Later, I advanced to the finishing workshop, he was still learning, and finally was sent by the master to learn the CNC lathe that had just come out. As a result, this kid's memory is surprisingly good, and he memorized the operation code that looked dizzy, and then he also mixed into the Seiko workshop."
"Uh-huh, I've seen that person, he is sullen and doesn't talk much." Xue Zhen nodded obediently and said in response.
She knew that her husband was a smart man, and now he just wanted someone to talk to, and he didn't need any advice from her. So I don't interject and comment indiscriminately, just answer a sentence from time to time, so that he knows that he is listening carefully.
For Zou Yongdong, she has a good impression, she is an honest person at first glance, and she does more things than talks. is also very polite to her, knowing that she cares about Kong Lingchen's situation, and always smiles and tells her about his studies in the technical school, which are basically good things to reassure her.
He's a nice guy.
But her husband doesn't like it, and of course she won't speak for an outsider, which spoils his mood.
"When I first entered the Seiko workshop, because of my good skills, the factory party committee came to talk to me a few times and asked me if I had any ideas about joining the party. I was also dizzy at the time, thinking that this was a poor and remote mountainous area, and I couldn't spend my whole life here, so I thought that I could learn skills here and find a chance to go back to Shanghai in the future. Maybe my answer was a little perfunctory, and then the party branch didn't look for me" Kong Lingchen frowned gloomily, his expression was very regretful, "If I agreed at that time, I might have been the first batch of people to join the party, thinking about it later, I really regretted it."
"Forget it, don't think about those annoying things. Anyway, you are still the technical top in the factory, and the factory leaders also value you, and the salary and bonus are also high. Xue Zhen was afraid that he would be upset, so she comforted him thoughtfully.
She is not at all surprised that her husband would make this decision.
Speaking of which, Kong Lingchen is the kind of "smart person" who likes to take advantage of loopholes. Running from the farm, it is too hard to farm, and I want to go to school here and take the college entrance examination. At that time, who knew that the military sub-district would develop so rapidly, and after two years, it has already grown to a considerable scale, and the construction is even more beautiful than that of the big cities in China, and the recruitment of the military sub-district is somewhat perfunctory, and it is understandable that he does not want to stay in the military sub-district.
There are some things that you can't do if you miss them, so you can only make up for them slowly afterwards.
However, is Kong Lingchen a person who can calm down and use time to make up for his mistakes
She was skeptical.
But she doesn't think she should regret it, although it's a pity that she didn't join the party, it's good now. Both of them have jobs, with a monthly income of 3,500 yuan, and they are also less than the upper and more than the lower in the military sub-district, and they have bought a house, and their lives are considered rich and superior, so why fight so much.
She could only bury this in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it to Kong Lingchen, it would only make the other party even more angry.
"Who said that there is no loss" Kong Lingchenguang was already unhappy when he heard this, "whether you can join the party or not, the difference is big, the military sub-district is not the same thing as the country, you are still like the country, party members are hard-working and sinful, if there is no high consciousness, who goes to join the party and the party members of the military sub-district are golden, and the monthly income is 50 percent higher than that of the ordinary people, but the military sub-district is too strict with the party, usual performance, political leanings, the assessment is quite strict, I work so hard to perform, I don't have a chance at all"
/ >Of course.
Now it is not as good as the beginning, the latest regulations of the military sub-district party committee, party members value quality over quantity, and must be real people. Through your usual speech and behavior, your feedback to the cadres and the masses, your work attitude, your views on the progress of the new era, etc., there are many places to investigate, and ordinary people can't get in even if they sharpen their heads.
For party activists, the organization should be inspected for at least two years. After joining the party, he must serve as a probationary party member for three years, and after the party branch meeting, all party members can only become full party members after more than 60% of the votes.
In the words of Xue Zhen, the secretary of the party branch of her radio station, it is better to have a diamond than a pile of rotten bricks. Even if there is not a single new party member in a year, we will never let those opportunistic elements who are indiscriminate and full of money infiltrate the party.
And even if you join the party, the party inspection will only be stricter, and the terms of ordering and expelling from the party are not for decoration.
With a character like Kong Lingchen, she is not optimistic about his political future at all.
Even if he tries his best to infiltrate the party, a few tests will test whether he is real gold or rotten copper. For more than a year and a half, they will be ordered**, which is even more humiliating, and it will be humiliated for a long time, and they will not be able to stay in the military subdivision.
As far as she knows, many of those who were suddenly recruited into the party more than a year ago were approached by the party committee for talks, pointing out their shortcomings and demanding that they must be strict with themselves in accordance with the standards of party members. There are a few party members who show fear of difficulties at work, shirk the rules at work, retreat when encountering difficulties, take advantage of party membership, and violate the party program and party discipline. Because he couldn't bear the strange eyes of others, he had to leave the military sub-district gloomily.
As Kong Lingchen's wife, she knows her husband's character well.
Kong Lingchen's requirements for himself are not wrong, they are judgments that ordinary people will make. But this is far from the requirements of the vanguard, and if he does not correct his shortcomings of rushing to the side when he sees small profits and flashing aside when he encounters big things, he will never become a party member in his life.
But her husband's desire to strive for progress, she is also aware of it.
If you want the best of both worlds, perhaps
She lowered her head and thought for a long time, and said softly: "Ling Chen, I heard a message in the station, I don't know if it's accurate." It is said that at the end of this year, the people's representatives will be elected, and you can try it. ā
"The people's deputies don't raise their salaries and have no power, what's the point except to raise their hands at the big people, don't make a sound when they fart, and delay their work," Kong Lingchen scoffed at her suggestion.
"Not necessarily" Xue Zhen recalled the news she heard from her colleagues, sorted it out in her mind, and said slowly, "It seems that the people's congress will have the right to supervise, and I heard that the supervision bodies of various functional departments of the government will be handed over to the people's congress to manage." In addition, the procuratorate will also hand over to the people's congress, and in the future, ordinary civil and criminal cases will adopt the simple judgment method, but as long as half of the people's congress deputies propose a case with a huge social impact, the jury system can be used for public trial.
