Chapter Eighty-Eight: Chinese New Year
February 4, 1924
Today is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Chinese New Year's Eve.
After a few months of governance, the people of the four new provinces of the southwestern government have begun a new way of life.
Primary industries have also been established in various towns and villages, such as bicycle factories, textile factories, quilt factories, and livestock breeding bases. Many farmers began to receive simple induction training and joined the newly built factories. Some handlebar types have also begun to learn driver's licenses for free, get a notebook, and prepare to join the transportation group. Young men also joined the team of road construction. Trams have also been built in major cities to travel to all corners of the city.
Sun Dazhuang was originally a hunter who made a living from hunting, but now the new government stipulates that he cannot hunt at any time, and there is a fixed hunting season every year, and he can only go hunting in that season. Their own shotguns were also confiscated, and they could only be taken out during the hunting season, and the bullets were strictly managed, and their names were engraved on them. Originally, he still had a lot of complaints about these, he made a living by hunting, his daughter-in-law tossed some fields, plus his parents and sons, and the family could be regarded as making a living. Now that I can't go hunting, what will happen to my family? said that it was to compensate, but it could compensate something, and the previous government gave the people a penny, and they wished to earn another three cents to go back.
But now Sun Dazhuang doesn't have those thoughts anymore, and the government's compensation will be issued in three days. The daughter-in-law goes to participate in the on-the-job training, and she can get at least two yuan a month when she goes to work in the future, and if she is more skilled and does that piecework, she can get seven or eight yuan every month. Seven or eight yuan in this period, you can support a family for two months. And my son also went to primary school, so he didn't need tuition, as long as he completed the tasks assigned to me by the school every week, such as helping to clean up, or helping farmers weed in the fields. His parents also received a big sweater, and his son also received two sets of school uniforms, all of which cost nothing.
Yesterday, the daughter-in-law's factory began to have a holiday, not only got the salary, but also got a so-called year-end bonus, a total of 12 yuan, I heard the daughter-in-law say that each of the workers in it has, and if it is not only a few months of work, if you can do it for a full year, you will receive more year-end bonus. Not only did there be a year-end bonus, but also some other things, flour and pork, and I also brought a lot back.
His daughter-in-law has a job, she is not bad, she can't hunt, she follows others to build roads, although she is tired, she eats well and her salary is very high. I went to the construction site early in the morning, but instead of working, I went to get paid. Salary plus bonus, I received 20 yuan, two green 10 yuan Chinese coins, and brought back 10 cans of canned food and a box of drinks from the Road Construction Group. The most important thing is that there are two bottles for a long time, half a month's money at the tail tooth banquet called what, I have drunk this kind of wine, it is very fragrant, I originally planned to celebrate the New Year, I was ruthless, bought a bottle, and shared it with my father. Unexpectedly, people directly distributed two bottles per person.
Sun Dazhuang happily hugged the two boxes and walked into the house, his daughter-in-law and mother were already busy making a reunion dinner, put down the things in their hands, walked to the kitchen, said hello to his daughter-in-law and mother, and washed his hands. Put the pig's head that the daughter-in-law has divided on a cutting board and cut it into small pieces. Looking at the pork that had been put in the pot and the oil splashed, Sun Dazhuang himself didn't know when he had eaten lard last time, and he couldn't afford to buy pork before, let alone eat lard.
Thinking of this, Sun Dazhuang also pinched his arm, it hurt a little, not a dream. At this time, he didn't dare to think, if the current government was defeated one day, what would happen to his life in the future?
Sun Dazhuang's father walked into the house with a chicken and a bag of eggs, which he bought at the livestock base in the town, which were very cheap, and he bought them for a dollar, and he was looking for money. The money I found also bought a long string of firecrackers, which used to be sold for the Chinese New Year. Now that life is starting to get better, I bought big firecrackers for a good year, and I look forward to a better life next year.
In the evening, the reunion dinner was also prepared, an old wooden table full of dishes, and a rice pot full of rice on a stool next to it. Sun Dazhuang took out the can and opened it directly, opened the box of drinks, took out a bottle of juice and handed it to his daughter-in-law, opened another bottle of wine, helped his father fill a glass, and poured a glass himself. His daughter-in-law also poured juice into her mother's cup and her son's cup. Sun Dazhuang's father finished his New Year's greetings, and everyone toasted to wish a better life next year.
At twelve o'clock in the morning, the whole village was filled with firecrackers and cheers.

Chen Shao celebrates the New Year the same every year, in addition to having dinner with his family, he also has to go to the army to celebrate the New Year in advance with the officers and soldiers. Longteng Group also has to go to the New Year's banquet of government cadres, and when Chen Shao is busy with these, the day before Chinese New Year's Eve, he will also go to celebrate the New Year with those disabled veterans. It's just that the doppelganger lacks skills, and only a small range of people can celebrate the New Year with Chen Shao. Chen Shao has also been working hard to improve these things.
Chen Shao takes his father-in-law and mother-in-law over every Chinese New Year, and the two of them do not live with Chen Shao now, but buy a house next to Nanning University. Originally, Chen Shao didn't agree, just live in the base. However, the two elders rejected his proposal, and now they are both teaching at Nanning University, and they are too far away to make it troublesome.
However, Chen Yun's birth, the old couple often came to the base to see their grandson, and when Chen Shao was busy, Xie Yuxin often took her daughter to her parents.
However, this year's New Year is very lively, this year Jiang Baili and Cai Gong will come to celebrate the New Year with Chen Shao, this is the first time, several men are chatting about people's livelihood in the living room, some children are still playing in the yard, and women are busy for Chinese New Year's Eve.
In the living room, after several people finished chatting about a topic, Jiang Baili spoke: "Chairman, I went to Bai Chongxi in Qinghe Village yesterday, and I don't know whether to say something or not." ”
"Say it."
"I don't think it's appropriate to put them there, they're very open and supportive of us right now."
"I understand this, in fact, when Bai Chongxi and the others were just captured, I prepared the road for them in the future, and I would not waste their talents. In the past two years, I have sent a lot of textbooks to military schools, and now I understand! Chen Shao said with a light smile.
"I'm going to be overly concerned at this point." Jiang Baili was a little stunned. He didn't expect Chen Shao's measurement to be so big, he originally thought that he was going to waste his tongue, and his feelings were now in vain.
Cai Ye heard the conversation between the two and also said, "Chairman, are you going to use them?" ”
"Yes! Don't waste much, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi are still young, and they are too happy to start supporting their retirement? ”
"Isn't there something wrong?"
"I will master this, even if they control the troops, it doesn't matter, I am still very confident in this, our army is the people's, not a private arm." Chen Shao said confidently. Not to mention Li Zongren and them, even if it is Cai Yi and Jiang Baili and others, what do they want to do with the army, it is absolutely impossible without their own consent, and the soldiers who have been trained by the Red Police Battalion are infinitely loyal to themselves.
Of course, Cai Ye and the others don't know these things, and it's no wonder Cai Ye is worried, after all, they were once and now captives, so it's normal to be a little worried.
Xie Feiming couldn't understand what they were saying, but he could see that his son-in-law was a little different from when he married his daughter a few years ago. That is to add a kind of majesty and self-confidence, a temperament that makes people can't help but get close to and respect him, and a temperament of a superior person. Xie Feiming could see that Jiang Baili and Cai Ye were a little restrained in front of their son-in-law, and this restraint was invisibly reflected, and it was difficult to find it without paying special attention.
The current Cai Ye and the others can be said to have great respect for Chen Shao, not only because Chen Shao is their boss, but most importantly, because of what Chen Shao did, which makes them respect from the bottom of their hearts. Since being attracted by Chen Shao to join the security corps, he established the Chinese Military Academy, went to the south to conquer the north, and laid a huge territory. For Chen Shao's methods, and for all kinds of magical equipment of the People's Army, Chen Shao can be regarded as convinced.
The same is true not only of Cai and Yi, but also of all the officers and soldiers of the People's Army, as well as countless government officials in the southwest.
The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner ended in a lively atmosphere, and just when Chen Shao was holding his daughter and listening to the radio, Chen Hong's voice came from his mind, telling Chen Shao to go directly to the biochemical nest to have a look.
"What's wrong?"
"Report to the Commander, the cyborg who just came out said he wanted to see you."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Chen Shao put his daughter in Xie Yuxin's arms and said, "I'll go to the office." ”
I walked up the stairs, entered the room, turned around and closed the door. Walked to the bookshelf and ordered Chen Hong to open the door in his mind.
The bookshelves parted silently, and after Chen Shao entered, the bookshelves closed again, and there were no gaps at all.
Along the way, Chen Shao was thinking that he didn't have time to go to the biochemical nest before, and Chen Hong helped him arrange where the cyborg would go after putting on his clothes. The first time I met a cyborg who had just come out to see me, it was new. Is it perfect? I remember that the cyborg I ordered two days ago was an engineer, and now only scientists and spies have appeared in the perfect level, there are three scientists, and there is only one James. If this engineer is perfect, I don't know which one in history.
When Chen Shao walked into the biochemical nest, a young man immediately said: "Report to the chief, Sergei Pavlovich Korolev reports to you. ”
Chen Shao opened his mouth, he had his own name, and there was no doubt about the perfection level. Sergei Pavlovich Korolev is not that rocket engineering expert. Satellites, missiles, oh my! Found a treasure.
"Sergey, what are you looking for?" Chen Shao suppressed the excitement in his heart.
"Sir, I want to set up my own research lab."
"What are you going to study?"
"Rocket train."
