The format of the dinner exceeded almost everyone's expectations.

A few people who often hear their names in news broadcasts almost all show up.

Of course, Chang Haonan, who already knew this history, was not very surprised by this.

Due to various complex historical and practical reasons, although China at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China was under the guidance of the Soviet Union in many aspects, it did not establish a complete and rigorous meritorious service system like the latter.

Not even an army, let alone ordinary citizens.

Except for the three major medals awarded in 1955 - the August 1 Medal, the Medal of Independence and Freedom and the Liberation Medal, until 2011, when the previous life, China had not formally established any medals.

For a long time, the only meritorious service awarded in an institutionalized and standardized manner was the first, second, and third class meritorious service medals awarded within the military and police system.

Subject to the problem of jurisdictional authority, it is impossible for a person who is not a member of the military or police to obtain a great deal of credit.

You can only change to another way to play the side ball.

This is the somewhat weird first-class "Operation Bat Hunting" medal that Chang Haonan obtained.

According to the regulations, the first-class merit is an honorary title.

However, the awarding of honorary titles is also fragmented, and an exclusive title is often customized based on the deeds of the recipient.

On the plus side, it's a privilege.

But on an operational level, it actually brings a lot of trouble.

For example, there is no way to intuitively reflect the matter of obtaining honorary titles.

You can't always take the certificate with you everywhere.

For example, if a person receives two honorary titles, there is no provision for which comes first and who comes last.

In principle, there is no distinction between high and low honorary titles.

However, whether in terms of perception or reality, there is obviously still a gap between the "Patriotic Army Elite Pacesetter" and the "Volunteer Army First-Class Hero", both of whom are honorary titles.

As for honors outside the military and police system, it is even more chaotic, and some awarding agencies even only issue awards regardless of records, resulting in many high-sounding honors actually have no value at all.

As a result, the psychological gap between the winners themselves is secondary, and what is even worse is that it has given rise to many criminals who take advantage of loopholes in this aspect to deceive.

In the era when information is not smooth enough, going out of the province is similar to going abroad, and I said in province A that I am the winner of the xx honor of province B, and there is no way to check it at all.

This continued until the late 80s, when it finally began to change.

The All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU) has set up the first medal for all citizens to be systematically awarded to all citizens - the National May Day Labor Medal.

It also stipulates that among the winners, the proportion of front-line grassroots workers shall not be less than one-third.

And Chang Haonan won the May Fourth Medal of Chinese Youth, which is the second.

In this special period when people's minds are changing, the introduction of a standardized system of national meritorious service is undoubtedly conducive to ideological and spiritual construction.

Particular attention is given to young people.

Therefore, the award ceremony of the first May Fourth Medal must be grand and far beyond the standard.

Therefore, not only the leaders who attended the meeting were amazing, but also the media that came with them were all thunderous.

Obviously, this matter is bound to receive unprecedented publicity.

In short, when the whole celebration was over and Chang Haonan returned home, it was close to midnight that day.

He looked at the certificates and medals on the table, took out his phone and entered a series of phone numbers.

This is Chang Haonan's own personal habit, and he will not open the champagne in the middle until everything finally settles.

Now that even the ceremony has been completed, it is natural to inform the family of this good news.

But looking at the time displayed in the upper right corner of the phone screen, he hesitated for a moment and still didn't press the dial button.

It's too late, we'll talk about it tomorrow.

After a few hours of euphoria, the first thing that swept over me was exhaustion.

In addition, he didn't have a good rest last night because he had to prepare his acceptance speech and familiarize himself with the ritual process, so Chang Haonan just changed his clothes and lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

……

In 1997, Huaxia did not even have a cable network, and the mobile network was not even a very clear concept, so it would not be like the future.

At this time, Huaxia TV has just completed a major equipment upgrade and replacement, and is in the process of shifting from recorded news to live news, and the response speed is also not so fast.

In general, the fastest response to news is the same as newspapers and broadcasts.

Therefore, the next morning, when Zhou Li, who was far away in Liucheng, was the first to arrive at the office, simply cleaned the workstation, poured hot water and habitually threw a few newspapers inserted in the doorknob on the table, the whole person was instantly stunned.

She stumbled upon a headline in one of the newspapers:

"The All-China Youth Federation decided to award the six young people the "Chinese Youth May Fourth Medal" for the first time

Of course, if it was just like this, it wouldn't make Zhou Li so out of shape.

But there is a slightly smaller line of words under the huge and conspicuous headline-

Chang Haonan, Qin Wengui, Li Bin, Liu Xiaogongju, and Fangrong of the Eastern Song Dynasty won the award.

In the official press release, the names of the six people were replaced in order.

It is no longer in the order of the strokes of the surname, but according to the number of the medals received.

And what Chang Haonan got was the No. 1 of the May Fourth Medal.

So in first place.

Zhou Li put the cup on the table, took out her glasses from her bag and put them on, and confirmed it again.

This is the number one name in line...... How does it feel familiar?

Oh, it seems that my son's name is Chang Haonan......

Photographs of the winners are also attached to the news.

However, because it is a black and white photo printed with ink, it can only be said that it ......

It can be seen that it is six humanoid creatures.

However, from the figure, Zhou Li felt that the person standing in front of a twin-engine propeller plane in the first photo seemed to be her son.

Then she glanced at the text again.

Chang Haonan, male, born in 1976, from Liucheng, Liaoning Province, student of Jingcheng University of Aeronautics and Astronautics in Jingcheng City......"

Obviously, it's all right.

The huge surprise made Zhou Li feel dizzy, and she sat directly on the chair.

After a few seconds, she couldn't believe her eyes, and she flipped out a few more newspapers from underneath.

Guangming Daily

The same news, the front page headlines.

China Youth Daily

The same news, top right on the front page, one of the double headlines.

"Reference News"

It's still the same news, it's still the front page headlines......

Obviously, it wasn't her hallucinating.

After the huge surprise, Zhou Li felt calm.

Or even a little flustered.

Since she was very young, Chang Haonan has always been very competitive, and she and Chang Yuanchao are the pride of the two.

But this time, it's a little too competitive.

What is the level of this Chinese Youth May Fourth Medal, Zhou Li is still unclear.

But it is obviously not normal for all newspapers to focus on the front page headlines.

She subconsciously wanted to contact Chang Haonan directly to confirm the matter and send congratulations, but she didn't know how to express it for a while......

As time passed, the previously deserted campus gradually became lively.

Zhou Li decided to take a few classes today.

Chang Haonan's achievements are largely due to his own efforts, and as a parent, there is really little help he can provide after his children go to college.

She secretly warned herself that the more times like this, the more she couldn't get carried away.

As a person who made the headlines on the front pages of major newspapers...... mother, still have to be reserved.

Otherwise, you are also disgrace to your son.

However, there are some things that she can't keep a low profile if she wants to......

After a colleague who arrived almost stuck in work hours and was almost late, he mentioned this incident to Zhou Li, who was preparing for class:

"Teacher Zhou, I listened to the radio on the way to work today, saying that there was a big prize yesterday, and there was a winner's name in it that was the same as your son......"

Chang Haonan, as an outstanding graduate before the fourth term, still retains some popularity in the school.

The other party's words instantly drew all the attention in the office to Zhou Li.

"Teacher Zhou's son?"

"I remember it's Chang Haonan? You were admitted to Beijing Airlines from our school, right? ”

Someone soon noticed the stack of newspapers that were of little interest to anyone.

"The headline on the front page of today's newspaper seems to be the same thing...... The May Fourth Medal of Chinese Youth seems to be a very high-level award. ”

"I'll see...... It's really called Chang Haonan......"

At this point, Zhou Li had no choice but to raise her head, take a deep breath, and then replied in a tone that was no different from her usual speech:

"It's really the same as my son's name."

"That's him."

Zhou Li's answer instantly quieted down in the office that was still noisy just now.

Including the colleague who first mentioned the incident, everyone looked at her with almost simultaneous shocked faces.

The former was just looking for a topic to chat with just now, and he never thought that Chang Haonan in the news was really Zhou Li's son.

After all, if you listen to the radio on the way to work, you naturally don't listen very seriously.

Not to mention the other people who were just joining in the fun.

There is only one newspaper in each office, and no one usually reads it, so the first person to come to work will take a glance when he takes it down.

So for a moment, everyone even thought that Zhou Li was joking with them.

However, at this moment, the office door was slammed open, and a lean, middle-aged man in a suit and a little out of breath appeared in the doorway.

It's their principal, Jiang Zhichao.

"Principal Jiang?"

Someone shouted.

Jiang Zhichao took a few breaths, and walked in front of Zhou Li in three steps and two steps:

"Teacher Zhou, Comrade Zhou Li, Chang Haonan won the May Fourth Medal such a big happy event, why didn't you disclose it to the unit at all......

Well, there's no need to doubt it.

It's definitely true.

After all, the title of Zhou Li has been changed to you......

Jiang Zhichao, as the principal, is decent, not good or bad.

In the six or seven years since he took over as principal, although the school has been steadily declining, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a problem caused by the general environment, and it has little to do with any individual.

The only thing worth mentioning is probably that this person prefers to be whiskers and horses, but in general, this has nothing to do with the average teachers at school.

It's just that today's situation is obviously not ordinary.

Because of the object of his horse, he became Zhou Li......

Everyone's expressions instantly switched to shock.

And, of course, envy.

After all, at their age, they are still in the position of ordinary teachers, no matter how high their professional titles are, they have basically come to an end, so most of their thoughts and expectations are pinned on the next generation.

Although I usually don't compete with my children openly, a little comparison is inevitable.

It's just that this time, Zhou Li's next generation is really a bit foul......

After a slight pause, Jiang Zhichao continued:

"Alas, you see that I am not qualified as the principal, until Director Shen of the Education Bureau called my office, I knew that our school had such an alumnus ...... who has left a name in history."

"Uh,...... Principal Jiang, I actually only found out about this matter after reading the newspaper in the morning, and Xiao Nan didn't inform me, so I guess he is still resting, so he didn't have time to contact us......"

Facing Jiang Zhichao with a smile on his face, Zhou Li didn't have any special performance.

She has a clear understanding of herself, even after seeing the report of her son's award, she has never had the idea that a mother is more expensive than her son.

But this obviously didn't make it difficult for Jiang Zhichao, and he immediately changed his angle:

"In the face of honor, he is not arrogant or impatient, and he is worthy of being the son cultivated by Mr. Zhou......"

In short, after a coherent rainbow fart, Principal Jiang finally expressed his intentions:

"Teacher Zhou, I remember...... Xiao Chang should graduate from his undergraduate degree this year? ”

Unconsciously, even the title of Chang Haonan has changed.

"That's right, but he has passed the selection of graduate students without examinations, and he will continue to study for graduate school in the second half of the year."

Zhou Li's inadvertent answer stabbed the hearts of all colleagues in the office.

The children are relatively old, so they have to shake their heads helplessly, sighing why other people's children can be so rebellious.

The children are younger and have not yet taken the college entrance examination, and they are already thinking about how to learn from Zhou Li.

However, Jiang Zhichao's focus is not here:

"I mean, the summer vacation of the graduating class should be much longer than usual, if your Xiaonan is free during the summer vacation, I wonder if you can let him go back to school and talk to the younger students?"

Hearing this request, to be honest, Zhou Li's heart was moved.

As a mother, the child has achieved such a proud achievement, and naturally hopes that he can return to his hometown and give the whole family a long face.

However, reason still made her not nod directly, but eased her hand:

"This ...... I can convey it to him on your behalf, but Xiao Nan is an adult after all, and he is also very busy outside, even this year's Chinese New Year, he has only been at home for less than a week, so I can't make this decision for him. ”

This impeccable answer made Jiang Zhichao unable to continue to dwell on this topic, so he had to change the conversation:

"That's fine, the school's meaning is also to respect Xiaochang's own opinions."

"But Teacher Zhou, there is one more thing, Director Shen of the Education Bureau will come to deliver the good news in person, so you can see ...... Can you string up your morning class with other teachers? ”

The request made sense, and a math teacher next to him volunteered to take the two lessons that had been vacated in the morning.

……

Looking at the figures of Zhou Li and Jiang Zhichao leaving, a teacher of the same age as the former sighed with emotion:

"If only my son could be as good as Mr. Zhou's son...... Teacher Zhou, you have a good way to teach your son......"

"It's not this what I admire most about Teacher Zhou."

Another young teacher, who was sitting in the corner, said:

"If you are put in the position of Teacher Zhou today, and Principal Jiang says that when the child is called back to speak, can you resist nodding directly like her?"

One question that silenced the entire office again.

After a long while, someone let out another exclamation:

"Teacher Zhou, teach your son well......"

Thanks to the leader of the alliance rewarded by the big guy of the book friend [Dead Run], but at the end of this month, it is really full of everything, and the addition will be completed next month!
