scolded the mother, Song Yuanchao was irritable, picked up the cigarette and smoked, who wanted to smoke it only to find that he didn't know when the cigarette had been extinguished.

Throwing the cigarette butt into the ashtray, Song Yuanchao asked Li Daqi what the factory said about his work arrangement, Li Daqi reluctantly told him that the factory has not replied until now, and his father has been thinking of a way these days, no matter what, this work must be solved first, even if it is a temporary worker, he can't always be idle at home.

"Actually, let me tell you, I really don't want to go to work in the factory." Li Daqi finished smoking another cigarette and was about to touch the third cigarette, Song Yuanchao sighed and took out the good cigarette he brought when he went out today from his pocket and handed it over: "You smoke less, even if you can't help it, try to smoke better, your cigarette is too bad, smoking too much is not good for your health." ”

"It's okay, I'm fine." Li Daqi took the cigarette with a smile, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "This cigarette is good, hehe, it's cheap for me." ”

Taking it apart and picking it up, Li Daqi comfortably spit out a cloud of smoke: "I've been walking outside these days, and now there are too many educated youths coming back, not to mention other places, there are dozens of them in our area alone, and these people can count the slap in the face when they find a job, and most of them are still the old people in the family who leave early and let their children replace them." ”

"My parents are not very old, and as you know, my dad has been engaged in technology in the factory all his life, and if he doesn't have a job, he will die. The textile factory is full of female workers and it is not suitable for me, so I don't want to take the road of substitution, and my sister plans to take the university entrance examination next year, and the income of the family will be a lot less when I replace my dad in the factory. ”

Song Yuanchao nodded in understanding, although replacement is a way out, but it is also the most helpless way out.

After the educated youth returned to their hometowns, many families took the road of replacing them in the factory for the sake of their children's work.

Although this road can solve the work problem for children, as parents, many people are far from the age of retirement, just like Li Daqi's father, who is not yet 50 years old.

In addition, instead of parents to work in the factory, the salary is calculated according to the new workers, so there will be a lot of losses.

You must know that those old people who have worked in the factory all their lives, their wages plus bonuses and subsidies are generally relatively high, and the salary they get after their children are replaced is the lowest level, even if they add the retirement salary of early retirement, the total of the two is less than that of the old people when they work.

"A manly man, it's better to rely on yourself than to rely on heaven and earth." Li Daqi had a light in his eyes, and his expression was resolute, patting his chest and saying to Song Yuanchao: "In the eight years in Liaodong, Lao Tzu has survived differently? Can't you live when you come back? That's impossible! ”

"I've thought about it a long time ago, if it's a big deal, I'll do odd jobs first, and then I'll do some odd jobs first. A few days ago, I wrote that after the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee, the atmosphere there has eased a lot, and there are a lot of people who do small business these days, and the government also acquiesces to these, although it is hard but can earn money, and if I can't stay in Shanghai, I will simply go to Yangcheng to find him, and work with him, anyway, I can't starve myself. ”

Song Yuanchao only understood at this time why he couldn't contact Li Daqi in his previous life, firstly, because Li Daqi's family had moved, and secondly, I am afraid that this is the reason.

Many years after his previous life, Song Yuanchao learned that Li Daqi left Huhai and went to the south as early as 1979, and the reason why he went to the south may be related to this mention of the young friends in Yangcheng.

After arriving in the south, Li Daqi was there for a long time, and he may have returned to Huhai after that, but at that time, Song Yuanchao's family also moved away due to demolition, and the two never contacted each other again.

The Third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee was convened on December 18, 1978, and now only two months have passed.

The Third Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee officially opened the prelude to China's reform and opening up, and Song Yuanchao was naturally very clear about this.

However, due to various reasons, the reform and opening up first started in the south, and then gradually implemented to all parts of the country in the next few years, so what Li Daqi said about the situation in Yangcheng should be accurate.

Going to Yangcheng is indeed a way out, although this road is not easy to walk at the beginning and it is also very hard, but there are many successful people.

Song Yuanchao knew that Li Daqi was one of these successes.

In later generations, Li Daqi did break out of the world with his bare hands in the south, although he was not a huge rich, but he was also a businessman with considerable industry in the local area, which shows that Li Daqi did not go wrong on this road.

"I have also heard of this, the central government at the end of last year to determine the national policy of reform and opening up, Yangcheng and Pengcheng are pilots, especially the latter is said to be the establishment of a special economic zone, but this matter is still being discussed." Song Yuanchao could not remember the specific time of the establishment of the Special Economic Zone, but he was sure that it would be next year, that is, in 1980.

"Yes, yes, this is similar to what I wrote in my old iron letter, I didn't expect you to hear about it too?" Li Daqi was very excited, and a big slag smell came out of his mouth in this excitement, after all, he had been in Liaodong for eight years, and the local dialect had long been very slippery.

"How about aiding the DPRK, or let's go to the south together, you will be smarter than me when you are young, and I can rest assured that you are here, the two of us brothers will go south to Yangcheng hand in hand and fight a world together!"

Li Daqi patted his thigh and talked more and more, wanting to pull Song Yuanchao to do it together.

To be honest, Song Yuanchao was really a little moved, but he quickly dispelled this idea, because yesterday Song Yuanchao had already thought about how to go in the future, and had begun to put it into practice.

"The south side will definitely go, but not now." Song Yuanchao thought about it for a moment and said to Li Daqi.

Seeing that Li Daqi was a little confused, Song Yuanchao smiled and said: "I have some ideas and plans, but the specific ones are not mature for the time being, and I will talk to you in detail in a few days." However, I have something to ask you, since the country has begun to reform and open up, it is absolutely impossible to open only the south, and Shanghai, as the largest city in the country, will be an exception? ”

"It's ......." Li Daqi was stunned, thought for a while and nodded: "This is also, there is no reason to exclude us from Huhai." ”

"That's right!" Song Yuanchao said: "If you think about it, whether it is the urban foundation, population, light and heavy industry, or economy, Huhai is the strongest, which is the advantage of Huhai." The state will not be invisible, nor will it exclude the Shanghai Sea. ”

"Daqi, if you believe me, don't go south for the time being, wait first, at least wait for the hukou problem to be solved, and when the time is ripe, we will go over together, I promise, it will definitely be better than you go now."

Li Daqi did not hesitate after hearing this, and agreed. According to his words, who else can he trust if he doesn't believe in Song Yuanchao? What's more, it doesn't make any difference to him earlier and later now, since Song Yuanchao said so, Li Daqi will wait.

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when he came out of Li Daqi's house, and Li Daqi originally wanted to stay with Song Yuanchao for dinner, but Song Yuanchao refused.

Now the conditions of Li Daqi's family are not good, there are four people living in the small snail, Li Daqi is not working, his sister Li Xiaoyun is still studying, Song Yuanchao doesn't want to embarrass Li Daqi.

Besides, as a lifelong friend, what is it if you don't eat dinner, and Li Daqi made an appointment to come to Song Yuanchao's house another day to get together alone, and Song Yuanchao got up and said goodbye.

At five o'clock in the morning the next day, before dawn, Song Yuanchao got up early and went to the train station, took the letter of introduction and bought a train ticket to Gusu that day, the train from Huhai to Gusu now takes more than three hours, almost ten o'clock to Gusu, Song Yuanchao found a tricycle outside the train station, negotiated the price and dragged him to the cemetery in the suburbs.
