Chapter 0002: Back to School
Zhao Weidong walked slowly to the school, Hexi Middle School is really the one in his memory, Hexi Primary School and Hexi Middle School are built together, built on a hillside, a row of single-story bluestone granite houses on the left is Hexi Commune Primary School, there are ten classrooms, one class from the first grade to the fifth grade, and the rest are used as teachers' offices.
The row on the right is the Hexi Commune Middle School, which is also a row of single-storey bluestone granite houses with ten classrooms. There are two basketball courts, one for the primary school and the other for the secondary school, and the public toilets are built in the middle of the two rows of classrooms, and they are one level higher.
As he was walking, he heard the crisp sound of elementary school students reading aloud, and Zhao Weidong suddenly realized that the first problem after crossing had arisen - it was impossible for him to remember the names of his classmates. Fortunately, most of the teachers were very impressed, and they didn't forget it, and their appearance was basically clear.
The classroom of the second (first) class of junior high school must be on the right, and the specific one is a little vague, but it is written on the door, and the problem is not big, that is, the seat is not clear.
Zhao Weidong thought that it was not difficult to solve this problem, and there were two ways. The first is to stand on the school playground and wait for a while, you will definitely meet familiar classmates, you don't know others, but they definitely know you, and you will enter the classroom together. The second way is to go in late, and the empty seats in the class are your own, because you are the youngest in the class, and the seats are always in the first three rows.
"Weidong, why did you kid come earlier than me."
Zhao Weidong turned his head and looked, it turned out to be Yan Chuanming, a tablemate from his middle school, a two-year-old older than me, but about the same height as me, with a small flat head, a somewhat thin young man ran all the way to Zhao Weidong, although he hadn't seen him for more than 30 years, Zhao Weidong still recognized him at a glance.
At this moment, the bell for class rang, and Wei Dong patted Yan Chuanming on the shoulder and said:
"Let's go back to the classroom and take the exam."
"Alright, let's go." Yan Chuanming said with a smile.
When he arrived at the classroom, Zhao Weidong saw that there were two empty seats in the third row of the second group, and knew that they were his seats, and walked to the desk, Zhao Weidong deliberately walked slowly, and gave Chuanming the first place to enter the seat, and then the remaining seat was his own, and then the Chinese teacher came to the classroom and put the paper in his hand on the podium. At this time, squad leader Zhang Zhongcai shouted: "Stand up." ”
Teacher Mu said, "Hello students! ”。
"Hello teacher!" The students replied in unison.
"Today is not only the second semester of the second semester of junior high school, but also the junior high school graduation exam, although today's exam is an open-book exam, but please be sure to answer the questions carefully."
After speaking, the teacher handed over the four stacks of papers to the four groups and said:
"The students left their own papers, and the other papers were passed on."
Before Mr. Mu's words fell, the voice of the next classmate "buzzed", many students were whispering, and one classmate said loudly:
"Teacher False, Zhang Tiesheng is a hero who handed in the white papers, can we not take the exam?"
Teacher Mu pretended not to hear it, and said:
"Students take the exam seriously."
Just walk out of the classroom. Zhao Weidong turned his head and asked Yan Chuanming what was going on, and Yan Chuanming said:
"Why did you forget, some time ago, the school organized all the teachers and students to learn Zhang Tiesheng's heroic behavior against the trend of handing over the white papers, and organized discussions.
In addition, the school also conveyed that a middle school girl named Zhang Yuqin in Ma Zhenfu Commune, Tanghe County, Henan Province, wrote this sentence on the answer sheet in a foreign language test: I am Chinese, why should I learn foreign languages? Don't learn ABC, just be Chinese! The teacher commented on her answer sheet: Ma Zhenfu has a Zhang Yuqin, who wants to become a god without learning foreign languages,......。
In the face of the teacher's criticism, she was under a lot of mental pressure, and in the end, she chose death. committed suicide by jumping into the reservoir, because of this incident, her homeroom teacher and principal were arrested.
After the meeting, many students also thought that learning English was useless, so they organized and asked the school to cancel the English class, and the school agreed to cancel the English class under pressure. ”
Zhao Weidong recalled it seriously, there was indeed such a thing, but he couldn't remember the specific time. When I was opening the paper and preparing to answer the question, I heard the sound of a book flipping through my ears.
Zhao Weidong turned his head to look, everyone took out the book and put it on the table to copy, this situation made Zhao Weidong after a few decades, the memory of the middle school days has begun to blur, and miraculously clear, the memories in his brain seem to be activated, all the memories are extremely clear, meticulous, and at the same time, all memories seem to be engraved, and will never be forgotten again.
Watching his classmates happily copying the answers, Zhao Weidong couldn't help but feel sad for this era, and also sad for this generation, but not all people are like this, there are many people of insight who are quietly learning and trying to enrich themselves, these people will become the backbone of China's future reform and opening up, and become the backbone of China's digging.
Zhao Weidong secretly vowed that since God gave him a chance, he would definitely dig up and fight for China, let the Chinese people around the world be proud of their motherland, and let the people of the whole country live in happiness!
Seeing Zhao Weidong sitting in a daze, Yan Chuanming took Zhao Weidong's hand and said:
"Did you forget to bring the book, it doesn't matter, you can copy me."
"Thank you, these questions are not difficult, I will do them."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Weidong took out a pen and began to answer the questions, because the difficulty of the papers produced in the educational environment at that time was very low, and there was no problem with the knowledge learned after the memory was stimulated, all the questions were completed in half an hour, Zhao Weidong was very confident, and his score was never less than ninety-five points, so he packed up his things and prepared to leave, Yan Chuanming saw that Zhao Weidong was leaving, and said:
"I haven't copied much, and you're done? Is it to hand it in in a mess, or to be serious, and my parents are happy to take the report card back. ”
"You do it well, I'll go first."
Zhao Weidong took the roll and put it on the podium and left the classroom, and when he walked outside the classroom, he saw Teacher Mu sitting helplessly on the chair outside the classroom, so he stepped forward to say hello:
"Hello, Mr. Mu! I finished the exam and left first. ”
"Okay, let's go back."
Teacher Mu felt a little strange, because out of the white paper hero, plus many students in the discussion have a lot of opinions on the exam, after the school research and decision, this semester's exam will implement an open-book exam, which can be calculated according to the amount of questions, even if the book is copied quickly, it will take an hour, and a slow hour and a half may not be able to copy it completely, is there a lot of questions that have not been done, so he stood up and walked to the classroom, picked up Zhao Weidong's paper from the podium, opened it and was stunned, so beautiful words, the volume is neat, and there is no typo from beginning to end, There was no correction, so Mr. Mu asked Yan Chuanming:
"Chuanming, why did Wei Dong copy the book so quickly?"
"Teacher Mu, Wei Dong didn't copy the book, he forgot to bring his book, I asked him to copy mine, he didn't copy it, he just handed it in and handed it in."
Teacher Mu thought to himself that this Zhao Weidong is not simple, why don't you usually notice it, it's really strange, it was originally a paper for everyone to open the exam, and there were a lot of questions, but I didn't expect to be able to finish the exam quickly and well, such a good student, when he encountered an era that didn't need knowledge, it was really untimely, if the college entrance examination was not canceled, it would be no problem to go to Tsinghua University and Peking University.
Now it's time to recommend going to college, what's the use of good grades! In 1973, Zhang Tiesheng, who was in the Zaoshan Brigade of Baita Commune, Xingcheng County, Liaoning Province, was recommended to take the university examination. On June 30, during the physical and chemical exam, he did 3 small questions, and the rest was blank, but he wrote a letter to the "respected leader" on the back of the test paper.
On July 19 of the same year, "Liaoning Daily" published Zhang Tiesheng's letter under the title of "A Thought-provoking Answer Sheet". Editor's note: "Zhang Tiesheng's examination of physics and chemistry seems to have been handed in a blank paper, but he has handed in an insightful and thought-provoking answer sheet to the question of the route of the entire university admissions. ”
On 20 August, the People's Daily reprinted Zhang Tiesheng's letter and added an editor's note: "This letter raises an important issue in the struggle between the two lines and two ideologies on the education front, and it is indeed thought-provoking. Subsequently, newspapers and periodicals all over the country reprinted it one after another, and Zhang Tiesheng became a well-known anti-trend hero who had the courage to hand over the "white scroll" overnight.
In 1973, Zhang Tiesheng was successfully admitted to the Department of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine of Tieling Agricultural College. In 1975, the Fourth National People's Congress was held in Beijing, and Zhang Tiesheng was elected as a member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress. xx and xxx met him personally. In August 1975, Zhang Tiesheng was promoted to deputy head of the leading group and deputy secretary of the party committee of Tieling Agricultural College. Turning in blank rolls and becoming a hero, does the country really not need knowledge? Teacher Mu felt very hesitant and confused in his heart.
Zhao Weidong saw that the time was only half past eight, the time was still very early, and he wanted to find a place to sit down and sort out his thoughts and make a plan for the future.
Zhao Weidong walked slowly along the path alone, and walked to the top of the mountain, the vision around him was very broad, and he first carefully and meticulously looked around this hot land that carried the good memories of his youth, which would become the first stop and starting point for him to cross his life.
Zhao Weidong found a big pine tree to sit down, sitting on the soft pine needles looked very comfortable, leaning against the pine tree, everything was so comfortable, Zhao Weidong took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, breathed in the particularly fresh air, and returned to the current problem that needs to be solved urgently.
I have countless advanced knowledge, countless ways to make money and methods, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and the advanced knowledge she currently has is not needed for the time being, there are countless channels to make money, but it is in vain if you don't have start-up capital.
What to do? The most crucial goal at the moment is to find ways to complete the primitive accumulation of capital, the first thing is to start investigating and looking for ways and means to complete the primitive accumulation of capital, after determining the short-term goal, the sooner you start to act, the better, think of this and immediately stand up and walk down the mountain.
Returning to Hexi, a street that is both unfamiliar and familiar, the entire street where the commune is located is composed of four streets that are not very regular, two horizontal and two vertical.
On both sides of the street, there are scattered Hexi People's Commune Revolutionary Committee, Hexi Brigade, Hexi Supply and Marketing Cooperative, Hexi Grain Station, Hexi Business Office, Hexi Credit Cooperative, Hexi Health Center, Hexi Food Station, Hexi Primary and Secondary School, Hexi Post and Telecommunications Office, Hexi Tea Industry Station, Hexi Agricultural Machinery Factory, Hexi Cultural Station, Hexi Guest House, Hexi Assembly Yard, as well as a personal iron shop and several individual tailor shops, which are too simple.
Compared with later generations, the current material supply is indeed too scarce, grain and oil are supplied according to the population quota, cloth tickets are required to buy cloth, sugar tickets are required to buy sugar, cigarettes are required to buy cigarettes, and industrial products of more than a few tens of yuan must be supplied with tickets, of course, pots and pans, and small farm tools do not need tickets.
Under the current historical conditions, no one buys too much material, and the rural peasants work hard for about 10 cents a day, and the economic development of each village is unbalanced and the benefits are different; the year-end settlement divides every 10 workers, and the less is one cent and two cents, and the more is only seven cents and eight cents; after deducting the peasants' rations and other distribution items from the production team, it is good to be able to distribute dividends to a dozen to dozens of yuan throughout the year.
However, the salaries of ordinary state workers are mostly around 20 to 30, and their purchasing power is indeed limited.
