Chapter 22: The Hope of Returning Home
The acquaintance with other teachers is very smooth, the common level of education, the common life background, and the common encounters all resonate too much with them. Not long after they met, Ye Hanqing quickly integrated into this atmosphere. That night, as he lay in bed, he had the illusion of returning to the school dormitory.
In the quiet darkness, he heard a desperately suppressed sobbing from the bed of Teacher Xie across the bed. Whether it was driven by happiness or because of the joy and sorrow of escaping from heavy manual labor, he did not know.
He lay quietly on the bed, motionless, tears unconsciously soaking through the pillow towel.
But this mood only lasted for one night, and the next morning, after the last teacher came to report, the words of the cadre surnamed Qian in Unit 58104 made everyone suffer a fierce blow.
They are not going to any key third-tier enterprises, but to war-torn neighboring countries!
"The fraternal party has put forward a new way of thinking to us, and on the basis of ensuring its own security, they want to abandon the idea of seizing power by armed force and turn their energies to the field of economic construction, so that the superiority of the socialist system can be brought into full play so that all cadres, fighters, and the masses can enjoy the fruits of socialism. The above agrees with their change of thinking, believing that it is correct to abandon armed struggle at a time of regional peace in the world situation, and it is a good thing to ease relations between us and our neighbors and win the approval of peace-loving people all over the world!
They have also shown us with practical deeds that they are not saying one thing or doing another, but are actually making preparations for economic construction.
Their leaders personally went to Hong Kong and achieved initial success in a legal way. The products they have developed have been well received in Hong Kong and even Japan, and there are many orders for their products.
This fully shows that we can achieve success without relying on violent means, as long as we Chinese ingenuity and talents are brought into play. Moreover, this method will not arouse the panic and rejection of the outside world, and it will have a very good exemplary role for us to integrate into the international community. ”
Cadre Qian was in high spirits and briefed several teachers in Ye Hanqing and other dormitories, organizing this group of people to go to the 291st Brigade, in order not to provoke the anti-Ding side, it was a secret operation, so they did not convene a plenary meeting to make it public, but they solicited the opinions of these people one by one.
He had vaguely heard of the above thoughts. Guan Fei once said that if the Vicious Army did not attack the 291st Brigade, they could give up the means of armed struggle and win the support of the people in the form of peaceful competition.
This is in stark contrast to the fact that the BJP headquarters is still vigorously preaching the "supreme directive" and engaging in class struggle, and is resolutely unwilling to give up the armed seizure of power.
At present, a consensus has been reached at the top level in China, that is, the state should abandon the leftist system of the past and turn to economic construction in the next step. In addition, we should do our best to ease the contradictions with the mainstream international society, strive to integrate into the international community, and obtain external financial and technical support.
From this point of view, the People's Party's policy of continuing to adhere to the principle of taking the class struggle as the key link and constantly sending people to sneak attack the outposts of the Weiding Army and provoke incidents is seriously contrary to our basic national policy and has become a troublemaker that causes headaches.
However, if we resolutely sever ties with the BJP, it would be too ruthless. After all, the emergence of the BJP is the result of domestic support. Isn't it capricious to prop up an opposition regime and then kill it yourself?
Doing so will only make people feel that we can't be trusted!
How will you win the trust of others in the future, and how will you deal with other fraternal parties?
In this dilemma, Guan Fei's appearance, as well as his attitude and approach, have aroused great interest in China.
He said that he wanted to engage in the economy, and he was indeed engaged in the economy, and it was doing very well!
If this is the only thing to do, the country only needs to cut off all aid to the BJP, put aside its relationship with it, and wait and see what happens.
Unexpectedly, Guan Fei actually took the initiative to propose to convert part of the earned foreign exchange into RMB and purchase materials from China in the mode of economic and trade exchanges.
This proposal aroused great domestic interest.
How profitable Taiwoo is is now clear in China.
According to the latest feedback, they have received more than 20,000 orders in advance so far, with a total amount of 4.2 billion yen!
That's 4.2 billion yen, or more than 17 million dollars!
Seeing that Guan Fei has so much foreign exchange, not only the Bank of China is salivating, but even the above is a little tempted.
After so many years of development, the current foreign exchange reserves in China are only a pitiful $1.6 billion!
And Guan Fei only took more than a month to earn the equivalent of one-tenth of the country's foreign exchange, which cannot but be surprising and enviable.
Well, all that money is the payment for goods, and it also includes the cost of production. But that's a big deal! According to the information received, the profit of one arcade machine of Taiyu Technology is as high as thirty or forty percent, which is also four or five million dollars!
It's just a month's or two months' income, but how much would it be for a year?
As soon as Guan Fei proposed to exchange foreign exchange for US dollars and buy various materials from China, countless people's eyes lit up, and they suddenly discovered a new source of foreign exchange.
It was under the combined effect of the two ideas of getting rid of the burden and earning foreign exchange that the above replied to Guan Fei's request: agreeing to carry out normal business and trade exchanges without involving the trade of arms and ammunition.
With this one agreed, the next step is much simpler.
There is no electricity in mountainous areas, and it is necessary to purchase power generation facilities to develop the economy. In view of the fact that the conditions for the construction of the power station are not available for the time being, it is hoped to purchase two high-power field diesel generator sets - no problem, just transfer two from the geological exploration unit. A 30 kilowatt, an 80 kilowatt, a general machinery factory with seventy or eighty machine tools, the power consumption is less than 30 kilowatts, which is enough for you.
Diesel is not a problem, it is originally a product used for export to earn foreign exchange, build an oil warehouse in Menghai, hoard hundreds of tons, not enough to pull again!
No building materials to build a house, no engineering tools?
You don't have us, cement, steel bars, bulldozers, cranes, what do you want!
If you want to buy some trucks to form a fleet, what's the problem, Dongfeng and Jiefang, hundreds of units? Oh, it's too much to buy, okay, I'll sell you ten first, it's not enough for you to talk!
Want to buy more food......
Well, this is a bit difficult, and now there is not enough domestic food to eat, but it is more or less meaningful, a thousand tons of local rice every month, okay? One pound per person a day is enough for 60,000 people to eat.
If you want to buy some machine tools to train workers, this is not easy to do, directly transfer the equipment of a general machinery factory to you, enough for hundreds of people to practice, and if you work in shifts, two or three thousand can also be.
……
I don't feel too happy to do business with the 291 Brigade in China, what the other party wants is what I have, unlike foreign customers, who pick and choose domestic products, which is also disgusting, and I also feel that the technology is backward, which is simply what to give. There is no technical content at all in earning such money.
I bought something, I want to ask someone to help with the training, and the school wants to hire some teachers to ......, this is foreign aid, and it doesn't meet the scope of general business dealings? Besides, we don't have enough teachers of our own.
Oh, is it labor hiring? In order not to delay domestic education, it is better to hire teachers who have delegated labor than to let them squat in the farmland for the rest of their lives, right?
Well, this is negotiable.
Okay, it seems a little unreasonable to just buy things and not give people people, okay, let's help you make it up, there are not 100,000 teachers in the rural areas, but tens of thousands, and it is not difficult to choose a few hundred from them.
I have never built a house, and I don't know how to build a barracks, factory, or school, and I hope to hire someone to help bring the area.
The specific manager of this problem was a little picky, and finally asked for instructions, and decided to send people from the Yunnan Architectural Design Institute and the Construction Engineering Bureau to help you repair it, and also help you set up your own engineering team by the way.
……
In this way, based on the principle of voluntariness, teachers like Ye Hanqing, who were sent to rural labor reform, came to Kunming.
Looking at Ye Hanqing and the others, who were a little dazed and at a loss in front of them, Qian Cadre cleared his throat and decided to reassure them: "You go this time, it's just an expatriate labor dispatch, not just stay in the local area." We signed a three-year contract with the other party, and it was decided that as long as you worked for three years, you could return to China, and promised to return to your original unit. ”
"Really? Can I go back to my original unit? ”
"After I have worked for three years, can I go back to Harbin Institute of Technology? Back to teaching in the Department of Mechanics? ”
Hearing that they could return to their original units, Ye Hanqing and the others, who were still thinking about the pros and cons, were all excited, their eyes were red, and they wanted a quasi-letter.
"Absolutely! This is a decision made by the state, do you think it may lie to you? Cadre Qian patted his chest and promised.
The soundproofing of the temporary dormitory was not good, and there were exclamations from other rooms, most of which were asking, "Really?" "Can I go back to XXX?" and so on, because they were so excited, their voices became hoarse, as if they were howling.
I can go home!
This was the best result that everyone could dream of, and now when they heard that they could return to their original units by teaching in the territory of the People's Party in neighboring countries for three years, countless people burst into tears.
Ye Hanqing is no exception.
He suddenly felt that the room was too hot, sweating all over, and his collar was buttoned so tightly that he couldn't breathe. He ripped open the collar of his shirt, didn't notice the buttons that fell to the ground, and with red eyes, he pounced on the shoulders of Qian Cadre and asked loudly, his voice was so loud, and he trembled uncontrollably, like a howl, better than crying.
The staff of Unit 58104, who went to explain to them for the last time, had expected that they would lose control of their emotions when they heard the news that they could go home, but they did not expect their reactions to be so fierce, and many people's clothes were torn by the teachers who suddenly broke out.
They couldn't have imagined that these teachers, who were polite and polite before, would have such a strong effort to grab their hands and not be able to break them with their lives.
In the end, the person in charge of the transfer office could only come forward in person, facing the crowd of black pressure in the corridor of the dormitory, and personally promised the accuracy of the news.
When he said this, many people cried.
Not far from Ye Hanqing, a middle-aged teacher in his forties knelt on the ground and cried heartbreakingly: "Mom, my son is not filial, I can't go back to see you when you leave!" Now I finally have the chance to go back, but I'll never see you again! Mom, Mom! The son is not filial, the son is not filial! If I had listened to you, I would have come to this point! Ahhh ”
He screamed as he slammed his head on the ground, and the person next to him hugged him hard, but he couldn't hold it.
Ye Hanqing also cried profusely, what the teacher who hit his head and bleeded said was not what he had always wanted to say in his heart. Countless midnight tosses, he had regretted his rashness countless times.
His wife divorced him a few years ago, and he didn't resent it, because people had waited for him for too long, there was no man in the family to support him, and his wife was having a hard time.
But he was really ashamed of his parents, and he lived up to the expectations of the two old people. They are all so old, and they have to worry about him, and they suffer discrimination and ridicule from their neighbors in the village all day long.
He is really too unfilial!
This time he went abroad to teach, he was determined, even if it was a war-torn battlefield, he must go, he must go!
For myself, but also for being upright, step into the house again!
