Spring is coming, and it is the season of revival of all things.

In Kaiping, in Daning.

Rows of railroad wagons transported goods from the south to the north, and the means of animal husbandry production from the north to the south.

The staff of the Research Division conducted research in several places.

"In the original time, the commercial situation here was mainly based on barter, but now it has directly crossed the transaction method of silver and copper coins and promoted it to the exchange method of grain stamps."

The staff keeps track of everything here.

It is retained in the booklet through a digitized recording method.

The supply and marketing cooperatives next to the railway station are very large, and people in them will have a sense of loss and can't find their way.

Of course, this is because they are "rare and strange".

The manager of the supply and marketing cooperative, smiling and accompanying the staff of the research department, has no affiliation.

However, at their level, the sedan chairs lift each other, after all, the face is given by others.

"It's the off-season, and in a few months, in June and July, it's the real peak season, and you'll see people everywhere."

The manager of the supply and marketing cooperatives said with a smile.

"Where did they all come from?" The staff of the Research Division, curious to ask.

"There are guards, there are people from the south, there are local workers, and there are many Mongols, who will spend all their food stamps here."

"Aren't you saving some?"

The steward shook his head: "They won't keep a single grain stamp, anyway, the food stamps are more like the strips they sell after selling goods at the railway station, I think it's better to use these strips directly to the supply and marketing cooperatives." ”

"Why?"

"You see, they use the strips to exchange for food stamps, and then use the food stamps to purchase goods from me, isn't there an extra procedure?"

Hearing the statement of the manager of the supply and marketing cooperative, a smile appeared on the face of the well-informed staff of the Research Department.

He explained to the steward: "If the food stamps are promoted, the effect will be huge, and at this stage, because the food stamp system cannot be trusted in the hearts of the other party, it will be spent in one go." ”

"However, I believe that the longer the contact between the two sides and the deeper the mutual trust they build, they will change their behavior."

The steward nodded, although he didn't quite understand what the staff of the Research Department meant, but he also knew that the headquarters valued food stamps.

He skipped this topic and asked curiously, "I heard that you are going to continue to the north and go to the Mongolian tribe to investigate?" ”

"Yes, it is also one of my purposes to go to the Mongolian tribe to investigate and grasp the Mongolian tribe lifestyle."

The staff is talking about the way of life, not the mode of production, and the manager of the supply and marketing cooperatives does not hear the difference.

However, it did not prevent the steward from frowning, touching the shoulders of the staff, revealing a look that everyone understands.

"The yurt is very welcoming, but you have to pay attention to the waist."

The staff smiled, but ignored the jokes.

Since he was going to the Mongolian tribe, he must have collected a lot of Mongolian tribe customs and places to pay attention to.

It can only be said that the tribes on the steppe are very different from the agrarian society, and this difference includes ethics.

The day before leaving.

The staff came to the Kaiping Grand Theater built in Kaiping and bought a ticket at the ticket office, ready to pass the evening.

The scale of the Peking Grand Theater is getting bigger and bigger, and it has trained many qualified performers and has the strength to put it out.

In many places, more grand theaters began to be built, and the personnel and equipment of these theaters came from the Peking Grand Theater.

As an important trading location and military area, Kaiping naturally belonged to the first ranks.

The staff was very curious about the Kaiping Grand Theater and didn't know what the difference was with the Peking Grand Theater, although it was the same play, the staff still bought tickets.

The Peking Grand Theater should be cleaner and tidier, and the order should be more perfect.

And the Kaiping Grand Theater.

The staff can only comment on one sentence, the audience is harmonious, and everyone is happy and interested.

The play performed by the Kaiping Grand Theater is an old drama in Beiping, and it is the most famous drama of a military worker's family back then.

With the concerted efforts of the actors, props and instruments, lighting, stage construction and other staff worked together.

The audience on the stage gradually quieted down, and their eyes were deeply attracted by the drama on the stage.

There are also some people who find it uninteresting.

For example, a few Mongolians do not understand the living conditions of the workers, and they only think that although they are good-looking, they are a little fake, so they cannot be very engaged.

The staff of the R&D Division remained motionless in their seats.

In the same play, the actors have changed a lot.

But to his surprise, he actually saw "her".

Yes.

It was the first actor to play the worker's wife, a famous actor in Beiping, who never expected to see "her" in Kaiping.

Isn't she in Beiping, how could she come to Kaiping to perform, was she transferred? Probably not, the living conditions in Peking are better than those in Kaiping.

The eyes of the staff of the R&D Department followed the "her" on the stage, giving birth to some inexplicable brilliance.

"Whoa."

As the scene ended, the audience burst into applause.

People began to leave their seats and walk down the aisle to the door, and after that gate, they left the Grand Theater.

In the crowd, the staff moved to the side, bowed their heads and pondered, as if they had made some decision, and walked in the opposite direction from the crowd.

"Seventh sister, your performance is so good."

Background.

The actors were removing their makeup, there were many crew members, everyone was laughing, the success of the show, and then it was time to relax.

There is a woman who is the most lively around, and the woman's hairstyle is still in the image of the performance, but she is already washing her face.

"I really didn't expect that the Peking Grand Theater said that it would support our side, but I didn't expect to send you, if it weren't for you, I really don't dare to guarantee that the workers' drama would be as successful as Beiping."

A steward said with a smile.

The actress is the seventh daughter in the family, the seventh sister and the seventh sister, and she was called away, and everyone called her that.

said that it was the seventh sister, in fact, she was not young, and she was also married, and then her husband died, and she was lucky to go to the railway engineering team to do chores.

and the widow of the Zhao family did not work together, and the two did not know each other before.

The difference is that the seventh sister never gave birth to a child and was kicked out by the evil mother-in-law's family.

Although the seventh sister worked hard, she still suffered a lot in her mother's family, until she found a job in the railway engineering team.

Although the salary is not high, the seventh sister feels very happy, and then went to the Grand Theater to get to where she is now.

The difficulties of life have given this hard-working woman enough tenacity and made her shy in the face of success.

Listening to the praise of the people around her, the seventh sister felt very embarrassed.

"Who are you?"

A stranger broke into the backstage, someone asked curiously, and several people around looked over, only to see a young man.

At the age of twenty-five or sixteen, if you get married early, you may have children.

Dressed in meticulous overalls, not new but without patches, and very clean, as well as on young people.

People have this feeling, this young man is so clean.

The young man was taken aback, his face flushed, and he vomited, "My name is He Kuan, I work in the Research Department, and I hope to meet Ms. Zhou." ”

Ms. Zhou?

Who has the surname Zhou?

It wasn't until someone looked at the seventh sister in the distance that a few people suddenly realized.

They had heard that the seventh sister had many admirers, but they didn't expect to chase Kaiping, and they all had strange ideas.

"The seventh sister is over there." Someone kindly pointed at it.

There is a cloud in the Book of Songs: "His servant Weihe, Ms. Qier." ”

The interpretation of Kong Yingda, a scholar of the Tang Dynasty, is "Lady, a woman and a scholar", which refers to a woman's scholarly deeds and talents, and is an honorific title for a knowledgeable and cultivated woman.

In the small class of a treasure manor in later generations, a special question was raised, would the ancients call women ladies.

And two choice answers were given.

One is: No, you crossed.

The other is: Yes, there were in ancient times.

The correct answer, of course, is the latter.

Some of you understand it, some of you don't.

However, this person called the seventh sister a lady, which not only proved that the person had read, but also valued the seventh sister very much, and the person talked and dressed, so people got out of the way.

In front of the mirror, the seventh sister laughed with a few people, and just saw the door, and a few people looked at their side.

One of the young people, judging by the clothes on his body, was obviously not backstage.

However, the seventh sister only glanced at it and withdrew her gaze.

That guy is so clean.

"I ...... I ......" He Kuan glanced at the seventh sister just now, and all the courage he had accumulated was consumed with this glance.

"I'll come back next time."

Hurriedly leaving this sentence, He Kuan fled in embarrassment.

Leave behind the people looking at each other.

Running, running, panting, not to mention stopped, and when he walked to an unknown place, He Kuan sat down on a stone in discouragement.

He doesn't read much, he can only say that he can write, and he is far from being able to write articles.

"Ugh."

He Kuan sighed, cheered up and went back to the accommodation.

A book on how steel is made gave countless people in the society at that time the spiritual strength to become responsible people.

The responsibility is heavy.

But there are some people who can bear it and are willing to bear it.

Workers in the play.

Before the age of science and technology, the responsibility of the protagonist of the military worker to the family, the society, and the state was exactly the demand of the old era.

And the people of that era, by carrying this heaviness, forged their own spirits.

This spirit has been labeled as a great one.

Man is transformed by the environment, and the environment is made up of people.

Twenty-five-year-old He Kuan, after the age of 20, joined China Heavy Industry, exactly the fifth year, through the performance of the drama, he saw a spiritual realm.

And he longs for this realm.

Just like Sun Shaoping in the 80s, he read books with candles on the mat spread on the ground of the construction site, and finally became a great steelworker through those years of forging.

People in the new era laughed at Sun Shaoping back then, just because the times were different and the pursuit of society was different.

On the second day, He Kuan set off to the depths of the grassland.

This behavior is fraught with danger.

He was one of the lucky ones who arrived from steppe tribe to steppe tribe after tribe, mingled with many people, and recorded their way of life.

Then he also rejected some of the steppe customs of that era, which made the people of the steppe very incomprehensible.

He told the people on the grassland what supplies could be exchanged at the railway station in Kaiping through cattle and sheep.

He told the story of the Central Plains to the children of the grassland, which attracted many children.

The wind and sun on the grassland are unobstructed, and He Kuan has become rough after several skin changes, more like a grassland person.
