A middle-aged man walked over with a young man and said excitedly, "Chairman Mao, Vice Chairman Zhou, why don't you come and give us a notice, we are completely unprepared." ”

Chairman Mao shook his hand and said, "What are you going to prepare?" You have to be unprepared to see the real thing, well, this is a college student, right? I seem to have seen you in that speech. ”

The young man saluted and said, "The former 29th Army student soldier Yi Bang has met Chairman Mao, Vice Chairman Zhou, and the old man. ”

Chairman Mao smiled and said, "How is it?" Are you still used to going from student to worker? ”

Yi Bang said a little embarrassed, "When I was in the brick factory, I still didn't want to be a worker, but when I arrived at the steel factory, I saw that the molten iron turned into steel, and then I thought that this steel would be turned into a weapon and kill the devil, I was full of energy, especially when I thought that in the future, these steels can also be turned into railways, high-rise buildings, and farm machinery, and I am full of hope for the future." ”

Chairman Mao nodded and said, "Very good, very conscious, work hard, study hard, Comrade Wang Fei, how is he studying?" ”

Wang Fei touched his head and said, "This college student learns things quickly, and he works very hard, and he often teaches our workers to learn to read and write, which is very good." No, we were just discussing the matter of the workers' night school, and when we knew that the chairman was coming, we ran in a panic. ”

Chairman Mao nodded, turned to Chen Jiageng and said, "This Wang Fei is an overseas Chinese in the United States, Wang Fei, this is Mr. Chen Jiageng, an overseas Chinese in Nanyang, you have some common topics." ”

Tan Kah Kee immediately asked in English, "Mr. Wang Fei, what is the annual output of your steel plant?" What is the quality of steel? ”

Wang Fei looked at Chairman Mao and Zhou Guansheng, and saw that the two nodded before saying, "Our blast furnace is 248 cubic meters, with a daily output of 100 tons of steel, and more than 3,000 tons a year. However, there is still a big gap with the Western artillery steel ratio, and we now have two blast furnaces to be built, and our goal is to produce more than 400 tons a day and an annual output of more than 10,000 tons. ”

Chen Jiageng asked Chairman Mao in surprise: "You built a steel plant in one year?" I can't believe it. ”

Chairman Mao said: "This is the result of our workers rushing to work day and night, don't you know, we have a lot of workers who take the initiative to work overtime, everyone thinks that if we have our own steel one day earlier, we can drive out the devils one day earlier. This steel plant is the fastest to be built, but it is also the smallest blast furnace, we have a big blast furnace that is not half built yet, it is a large blast furnace of more than 700 cubic meters. ”

Chen Jiageng couldn't help but say in admiration: "I didn't expect that your Red Party would quietly establish such an industry, so your current military strength should be very strong?" Can the Arsenal now make cannons? ”

Wang Fei said embarrassedly, "It's all our fault, there is no way to provide good enough steel, and we can only make grenades, mines or something now." ”

Chairman Mao waved his hand and said, "Take your time, don't worry, there is no problem with our current gun maintenance." But it was a bit of a problem to make a gun as sophisticated as the German Mauser or the Japanese Sanhachi Daigai, but soon we would be able to make our own weapons. The recent industrial difficulties of the arsenal have been constantly overcome. ”

Chen Jiageng nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Mao." I still want to know more about your Yan'an, and you are also busy, so let others accompany me. ”

Chairman Mao thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, except for the most sensitive departments." You can go and see it. I'll give you a pass. ”

-- Three days later

Yu Qiaqing and Chen Jiageng sat face to face.

Yu Qiaqing poured a cup of tea and asked, "How is it?" Anyway, I'm an old man, and I'm shocked. This is only a year's time, and if the Red Party is given ten or eight years, it is unimaginable. ”

Chen Jiageng nodded and said, "These three days." We attended four mass meetings, participated in a village election, went to schools, hospitals, and printing houses, but what struck me the most was the anti-Japanese university and research institute. ”

Yu Qiaqing also nodded and said, "Let's not mention that there are so many professors in that university, there are so many research instruments in that research institute, it is said that no matter what instrument they want, as long as they write the requirements, they will get it within three months, and you find that the institute is not only military research, many of them are civilian research, what do they say?" Make comprehensive preparations for the construction of New China at any time. ”

Chen Jiageng took a sip of tea and said, "I have also met a lot of college students and researchers in Wuhan, although they are also working hard, but neither the environment nor the determination is as strong as here, Yu Lao, you are right, here may really be our new hope for China, I have followed the steps of the former prime minister in 1910, and now it has been almost 30 years, and now it is the first time that I feel so confident in the future of our China, Yan'an, whether it is the military and civilians, workers or officials, is full of an upward vitality, All of them seemed to believe that China would be better, and no one seemed to doubt that the outcome of our war of resistance would be a failure. ”

After speaking, Chen Jiageng asked, "Old Yu, you said that your granddaughter is also here, why didn't I see it?" ”

Yu Qiaqing suddenly sighed and said, "My granddaughter was killed by the Japanese in Shanghai and is still unconscious, and I pulled you here this time, in fact, it is also for the sake of my granddaughter." ”

Chen Jiageng asked curiously, "How do you say this?" ”

Yu Qiaqing pointed to himself and said, "I believe that Chen Lao has also heard of our Weihua company, in fact, the real boss of our Weihua is a young man, this young man is very good with my granddaughter, and I also want them to be together, but you see, now my granddaughter is unconscious, I am very worried." ”

Chen Jiageng immediately said, "This matter is their junior's business, and I said something ugly, people's time is also precious, so you can't let others do it." ”

Yu Qiaqing looked outside and said in a low voice, "You don't know, Zhou Guansheng sent his little junior sister to that young man, she looks like a water spirit, I'm in a hurry, I have supported Jiang Intermediary to deal with the Red Party before, what if the Red Party lets that young man marry Zhou Guansheng's junior sister, what will happen to my granddaughter." I'll pull you up now, your influence in Nanyang is so great, I can be regarded as a meritorious service, and their Red Party is always embarrassed to snatch my future grandson-in-law away in a hurry. My granddaughter said this for the sake of resisting the Japanese. ”

Saying that, Yu Qiaqing shook his head and said, "I'm not greedy, as long as I wait for three years, if my granddaughter doesn't wake up after three years." Yu Qiaqing sighed and said, "Even my poor granddaughter's life is miserable, and I have nothing to do." ”

Only then did Chen Jiageng know that Yu Qiaqing was a little sick and rushed to the doctor, and when it involved his children and grandchildren, no matter who he was, he was a little irrational.

Chen Jiageng thought for a while and said, "Old Yu, I still have to think about it. In this way, I will meet with Mr. Mao again, and I would like to hear what kind of country he really wants to build. ”

When Yu Qiaqing heard this, he hurriedly shouted, "Okay, okay, see you, see you immediately, you and I can go." As he spoke, he shouted outside, "Jin Shan, go and inform Chairman Mao, Mr. Chen wants to see him." ”

Chairman Mao looked at Chen Jiageng and asked, "I don't know what Mr. Chen thinks of us in Yan'an?" ”

Chen Jiageng said hehehe: "Everything is fine in Yan'an. It is thriving, and I just want to know now, what kind of country does Mr. Mao want to establish, and what are the aspirations of your Red Party? ”

Chairman Mao thought for a while and said, "If I talk about Red Partyism. You probably won't be able to understand it at once, but I'll just put it in layman's terms, I want to build a country of ten nos. ”

Chen Jiageng asked curiously, "What do you mean by ten?" ”

Chairman Mao wrenched his fingers and said, "First, there are no corrupt officials; Second, there are no local tyrants and inferior gentry; 3. No gambling; 4. No prostitutes; Five no little wives; Sixth, it is not called Huazi; Seventh, those who did not form a party for personal gain; Eight, there is no sluggishness; Nine, no one eats frictional rice; 10. No one makes a fortune. This is our country of the future. ”

Chen Jiageng only felt fascinated when he heard it, and he looked at Chairman Mao. Suddenly, I felt as if I had gone back to when I was young, watching the former prime minister talking.

Chen Jiageng's eyes moistened, and thirty years passed in a flash. Things are not people, China has not become strong after 30 years, maybe it should be changed, Chen Jiageng stood up and said, "Mr. Mao, what I have seen and heard in the border area during this time has touched me deeply, I will organize the Nanyang Overseas Chinese Association to start assisting Yan'an when I go back, and we will treat you and Chongqing equally." But let me say more, the Red Party and the White Party are both Chinese parties, both brothers, if you can not do it, it is better to talk with your mouth, we Chinese blood has flowed enough. ”

Chairman Mao nodded and said, "Mr. Chen, please rest assured, our Red Party will never fight a civil war first, and before the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, we promise to be patient with the White Party's provocations." ”

Chen Jiageng nodded and said, "Okay, I hope that the ten countries that Mr. Mao said will come as soon as possible!" ”

Chairman Mao smiled and said, "There happened to be a dance party today, I wonder if Mr. Chen is willing to participate?" ”

Chen Jiageng said with great interest: "Oh? You Reds also do prom dancing? ”

Chairman Mao said as a matter of course, "That's natural, aren't we Red Party members mud bodhisattvas, this dance is an activity that the Luyi School in our border area will hold once a week, and it has also started recently, why don't you go and see it?" ”

Lu Yi School, the full name of Yan'an Lu Xun Art School, is a school where literary and artistic scholars gather in the border area, here, there are a large number of literati and ink writers, and naturally there is a lot of literary and artistic atmosphere, in Lu Yi School, a dance party will be held every Saturday, and many international friends and central leaders at that time like to dance here.

Chen Jiageng and Chairman Mao walked into the school while talking, and suddenly heard a burst of children's crying.

Tan Kah Kee asked, "What?" Still have kids in school? ”

Chairman Mao pointed to the place where the crying sound came from and said, "Let's go and see." ”

When they looked at the window, they saw a man and a woman reading a book on a table, with a cradle hanging from a beam behind the cave, a rope tied to a frame at one end and one end under the table. The cradle was shaking gently, and in a few moments the child's crying stopped.

"Comrade, what are you doing here?" The man found Chairman Mao and Chen Jiageng, and asked unhappily.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we heard a child crying, so let's see, what are you doing? Why don't you coax the child? Chairman Mao lowered his head and asked apologetically.

The man touched his head and said, "There is no nursery school in our school, but it takes too much time and energy to take care of children, which will affect our learning efficiency, so we thought of this way, can we save a minute of time." If we learn a little more skills, we can also make more contributions in the future. ”

Chen Jiageng shook his head and said with a smile: "I have heard of the head hanging beam before, but I didn't expect you Yan'an to have children hanging the beam." ”

Chairman Mao touched his nose and said, "This is indeed our mistake, our current school only has a primary school, and it is indeed negligent for nurseries, well, you should still have a lot of this situation, I think it is necessary to run a few nursery schools, so that our students have more time to study." ”

The two of them said goodbye to the family and continued to walk in the direction of the ball, and soon arrived at the ball venue.

Tan Kah Kee entered the dance hall and found that there were already many people inside, the music playing was songs he had never heard before, and I didn't know if it was from the Soviet Union or where, the men and women in the venue were dancing ballroom dances, and there were many seats next to the dance floor, and some people were sitting there chatting and watching.

Chairman Mao pulled Chen Jiageng to sit down and said, "The ratio of men and women in our Yan'an is very imbalanced, and the statistical result some time ago was eighteen to one, so many gay men want to solve their personal problems by dancing, although we don't support it, but we don't oppose it." ”

Tan Kah Kee nodded in understanding, and at this time, a burst of music sounded, and everyone on the dance floor withdrew.

Chairman Mao explained, "Sometimes, they Lu Yi will have a show, just like now, Chen Lao is lucky." I've been here a few times, but I've never met one. ”

Chen Jiageng couldn't help laughing and said, "Then I have to take a good look at the performances of the artists in Yan'an." ”

I saw a group of people enter the dance floor, the music played, and everyone started dancing, which turned out to be a dance performance.

While dancing, a shadow wearing a blue cheongsam appeared on the stage and began to sing, and for a while, everyone's eyes were attracted by this blue shadow.

Chen Jiageng smiled: "I didn't expect you to have such a beautiful girl in Yan'an." ”

Chairman Mao only felt that his heart was moving, and he leaned back and asked Xiao Wang next to him, "Is that blue-clothed teacher or student of Lu Yi?" ”

Xiao Wang scratched his head, ran to ask, and immediately came back and said, "Chairman, that is Lu Yi's teacher, called Lan Ping." ”

Chairman Mao nodded, continued to watch the performance, and stopped talking.

-- Modern

Jiang Cheng took a small instrument and asked, "Is this really useful?" ”

"Of course, I made this one, as long as you turn on this device, all the eavesdropping devices in the whole house will be destroyed in an instant, and the other devices will not be damaged." ”

Jiang Cheng asked curiously, "This, what is the principle of this?" ”

Gallagher rolled his eyes and said, "Don't ask about this, you won't know anything if you ask." ”

Jiang Cheng turned on the instrument, then listened carefully, found that there was no sound, turned it off again and asked, "Did it really work?" ”

Gallagher didn't bother to pay attention to Jiang Cheng anymore, and went to study the scriptures on his own.

Jiang Cheng shook his head, he had gained a lot from going to Europe this time, Jiang Cheng was driving to the company while calling Koukou.

"Brother Cheng? What's wrong? Coco asked curiously.

"I'll send the gold to Black Iron Island later, you can take it yourself, let me ask, how is my goods?"

Kou asked the person next to her a few words in Russian before saying, "The first batch of your planes is already on its way to Black Iron Island, but the aviation fuel has already arrived, and what my stupid brother said last time has also arrived." ”

Jiang Cheng said happily, "Okay, I'll go to receive the goods later, thank you for your hard work, I'll drive, let's not talk about it, it's too dangerous, bye." ”

Coco looked at the phone that had been hung up, blinked her eyes wide, and asked the maid next to her, "How do I remember that he called me?" (To be continued.) )
