I feel that after the Spring Festival in 1969, the situation in our Daling Town is very different from the past!

Due to the continued tension on the northeast border, many factories in developed coastal areas have begun to move into our mountainous areas, and many companies serving factories have moved into our small town to operate and work, so the population of our Daling Town has increased several times, and all kinds of businesses have begun to flourish.

After the family's repair shop was set up, Mr. Cen, Uncle Lan and my mother often went to the town's units, as well as nearby enterprises and agricultural machinery stations to contact the maintenance business.

Through their efforts, the factory began to have a steady stream of maintenance business done!

Brother Jingtian, Brother Wenchang, Brother Lan Feng, and the five brothers of the Jia family repaired industrial and agricultural mechanical and electrical equipment such as automobiles, tractors, diesel engines, electric motors, and water pumps all day long under the guidance of Uncle Lan.

Sometimes, they have to drive to enterprises and other units with tools and other equipment to carry out maintenance services. Suffice it to say, they're already busy!

After the repair shop was set up, Sister Lifen, Sister Li'an, Sister Caixia and other three people, with the help of Mother Wei and Aunt Lotus, their rice noodle shop also opened. Their rice noodle shop is located on the street between Daling Primary School and the market.

Because the town has a large population, and the new population is rich city people, the business of the sisters' rice noodle shop is exceptionally good! Sister Wen Juan, Xiaoda and I often take Jing Di and Lilan to their shop to play, and they rarely have time to take care of us!

Of course, Xiaoda and I quickly learned to drive jeeps and trucks.

The two of us got hooked on driving again and often drove to the highway to practice and take things for a ride!

However, after we learned to drive, unless we had a task, Mr. Cen and Uncle Lan rarely let us drive, so they said that fuel was very expensive and difficult to buy!

Therefore, Xiaoda and I took Jingdi and Lilan out for a walk again.

When we were tired of playing, we were asked to graze on the grass, and the four of us drank water and chatted under the shade.

Lilan smiled and said, "Brother Acai, Brother Xiaoda!" You two are so old! How do you play with our children all day? You should go to work in the machine shop at home! ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Alas! Lilan! Actually, we're not much older than you! In the eyes of adults, just like you, we are still children! We have a low level of education now, so we have to study for a few years before we can work! Do you understand? ”

Lilan smiled and said, "You liar! Brother Jingdi and I don't have much culture! We don't have chickens and ducks, we also feed horses! ”

Everyone laughed!

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Alas! Raising chickens requires a lot of knowledge! If you don't feed those chickens, they'll find something to eat on their own! You can't fix those machines, they can only be left in the garbage heap for the rest of their lives! ”

Lilan smiled and said, "Yes! If our clocks are broken, they can only be repaired at a repair shop! Jing Di dismantled the clocks, and finally, my mother said that the clocks were no longer working! Let me throw them in the trash! Brother Xiaoda, you are so smart! ”

Everyone laughed!

Jing Di smiled and said, "Alas! Lilan! I'm not dismantling it, I'm trying to figure out how that clock is broken! Do you understand? If you don't take it apart, how do you know, why don't the clocks go? ”

Lilan smiled and said, "Brother Jingdi! Our clocks were just bought! If you dare to disassemble that clock, I'll go and sue Wei's mother and let them spank your ass! Now, I'm looking at that clock to eat and work! ”

Everyone laughed!

......

After the Spring Festival, Daling Primary School opened, and there were many new students in our class, and the classroom was much more crowded than before, and the classroom was much more noisy than before.

Therefore, Xiaoda and I often go to the house of Teacher Tao or Teacher Cen in our spare time.

Because we have already started to learn mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology from Ms. Tao.

Teacher Tao asked Yanfang, Cai Jinghua and other two students to form a study group with us to study together.

Mr. Tao was very attentive to our learning, and he wrote special handouts and lesson plans for us.

In addition to giving us lectures and answering all kinds of knowledge, Mr. Tao also secretly arranged for our school laboratory to do various physics, chemistry and biology experiments, so we have a deep understanding of this knowledge.

If the school laboratory can't be used, Mr. Tao will let us go to Mr. Cen's house to do experiments.

Because, before Mr. Cen was expelled from school, he had a full set of experimental equipment and experimental supplies for teaching physics, chemistry and biology at home.

We feel that Mr. Cen would be great if Mr. Cen was still our principal, and he would definitely teach us a lot of knowledge, but now, for the employment of his brothers and sisters and the life of his family, he can only go to the units and enterprises in the town with Uncle Lan all day to ask for people, and give us the repair business to do it in the machine repair factory!

Once, Mr. Tao smiled and said, "Ah Cai! You've been learning like this for a while! You have a complete idea of mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology! In the future, it will not be a problem to learn the knowledge of high school or even college! This knowledge is the basic knowledge of science and science and technology, and with this knowledge, you will be able to think and do things differently from others! You should study hard, if you don't understand or understand, you should ask me questions in time! Do you understand? ”

I said, "Understood? Alas! Mr. Tao, if we continue to study, we will definitely be able to become scientists! However, it feels like knowledge is enough! In the future, when I grow up, I still want to start a business and help my family improve their lives! ”

Teacher Tao said, "That's for sure! Be a man, there are people who don't think about themselves and their relatives! However, your current level of knowledge is indeed too low! Others are higher than you, their vision, strategies and means are better than yours, if you compete with the masters, you will defeat yourself without a fight! Do you understand? ”

I said, "Teacher Tao! I understand! I will definitely study hard! ”

Teacher Tao said, "You can't be lazy! Tonight no matter what! Be sure to complete all the homework and content that needs to be memorized! ”

......

Really, we feel very lucky to have such a good teacher as Mr. Tao!

Thanks to the guidance of my mother, Jing Tiange and Sister Li Fen, our knowledge of English, French, junior high school history, geography and literature has also improved very quickly.

The primary school curriculum has been completed by ourselves for us!

Actually, me, Sister Wenjuan and Xiaoda have a lot of things to do in normal times, and we often go to the repair shop and rice noodle shop to help my brothers and sisters with some errands!

We are also responsible for the supervision and education of Jing Di and Lilan, as well as training in martial arts, extreme sports and military training.

Therefore, our lives are very tight, and in school, we simply don't have time to take care of other students!

......

In the afternoon of mid-May 1969, during the break in the afternoon, when I, Xiaoda, Yanfang, and Cai Jinghua were discussing some problems in junior high school physics in the class, Zhou Xiaoming, a classmate from Shanghai who had just arrived in our class, came to greet us.

Zhou Xiaoming smiled and said, "Ah Cai! I've known you guys for a few months! I feel that you are very different from the rest of the class! Now, are you studying junior high school courses? ”

I said, "Yes! Because, our family business needs this knowledge! We have to help the family, which involves repairing machines and appliances, and then we want to open a photo studio and earn money to support our family! ”

Zhou Xiaoming said: "Oh! I see! No wonder you're so hard at learning! ”

Xiaoda said: "Alas! Our lives are miserable! People who don't want you big cities! You're born with everything! Good food, easy to use, grow up and have a good job, get a high salary! Live a rich and leisurely life! We can only work our own! ”

Zhou Xiaoming said: "Alas! Xiaoda! You're not entirely right! Not everyone in the city has a good day! We have to work hard, too! I feel that several of you students are very ambitious and ambitious! I want to make friends with you! All right?! In the future, we can help each other! Now, I'm a redneck like you! ”

Everyone laughed!

Yanfang said: "Alas, we can't afford to make friends with you!" The four of us are not only from the country, but also from bad families! Your relationship with us may affect your family and future prospects! ”

Cai Jinghua said: "Zhou Xiaoming! You can be your son-in-law! Don't bother us! After a while, a few of us may not be in school! Sooner or later, we have to be self-employed, so that we can have something to eat! ”

I said, "Zhou Xiaoming! They say the actual situation! However, there is no problem with making friends! As long as you don't dislike us! I'm willing to make friends with you! If you have anything to help with, as long as you can do it, I will not postpone it! ”

Zhou Xiaoming smiled and said, "Ah Cai! You're the material to be the boss! The idea is just different from theirs! Good! Ahh You're friends now! I'm looking for an opportunity to invite you to our house to play and be a guest! Let you, look at the plant, machinery and equipment and employees in our factory, these things you must not have seen, will definitely be able to open your eyes and gain insight! ”

I smiled and said, "Okay! As long as your family agrees, I'll go to play and be a guest with you! I'll bring a gift and visit you as a member of the family! ”

Zhou Xiaoming smiled and said, "Okay! I'll tell my parents about it when I get back! My dad is the boss in the factory and at home! Only, he agrees! No one dares to object! ”

On this day, I made friends with Zhou Xiaoming!

Actually, I feel that Zhou Xiaoming is very generous, tolerant and generous, he knows how to be polite, gentle, enthusiastic and steady, which is different from our children who grew up in the countryside!

......

At half past four in the afternoon of May 17, before the end of school at Daling Primary School, Zhou Xiaoming was waiting for me at the school gate with his bicycle.

Zhou Xiaoming smiled and said, "Ah Cai! I told my parents to invite you to our house! My parents happily agreed! I told them about you and your family, and they really wanted to see you! Tomorrow is the weekend, my father is also off, tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock, I will wait for you at the school gate, there are still four or five kilometers from here to our factory! I'll show you the way! ”

I said, "Okay! I'll be here on time tomorrow! However, I'm going to take Xiaoda with me to your house! May I? ”

Zhou Xiaoming said: "Of course you can! Xiaoda is your iron buddy! It turned out that I was worried that Xiaoda would not go to my house to play! Therefore, did not dare to invite him! Take him with him as long as he wants to go! ”

After we finished speaking, Zhou Xiaoming carried his schoolbag and rode his bicycle home along a country road.

......

I went home and told my mother about it.

My mother smiled and said, "Okay, they are willing to invite us!" We're definitely going! However, they are big families who know etiquette! Zhou Xiaoming's father is the director of the factory there, and we can't go empty-handed. According to our custom here, you bring two chickens, two ducks, a few hangs of bacon, and a basket of fruit. I asked Wei Ma to get ready for you! Tomorrow, you and Xiaoda drive over. When you arrive at someone's house, you must abide by the rules, be polite, talk more about good things, and don't talk about things that shouldn't be said! You know? ”

I said, "Got it!" ”
