That night, Wang Ye slept comfortably.

At seven o'clock in the morning of the next day, the two cars rumbled away from the Red Star Machinery Factory, but this time they walked through the back door of the Machinery Factory, and drove all the way down the valley into the mountains, and the road became more and more difficult to walk.

And the Red Star Machinery Factory is not the same as in the past, the smoke is curling is the workers who hurry to work, the smile on their faces swept away the decadence of the Tang Dynasty, and the twilight machinery factory seems to be rejuvenated again.

"Boom!"

The two cars were driving on a bumpy dirt road, with a Yanjing 212 jeep in front and a Jiefang brand truck in the back, and in the body covered by the army's green tarpaulin, there were supplies for condolences, mainly a large amount of rice, flour, grain and oil, stinky dried fish, half-fan pork, a small amount of vegetables, as well as tobacco and alcohol.

Wang Ye was sitting in the passenger seat of the big truck, driving a young man who looked to be in his early twenties at most.

"Do you smoke? Got one? ”

Sitting in the bumpy car, Wang Ye, who was a little upset, took out his cigarette and said to the young man next to him.

"Thank you, Director! I'll do it myself, hey, hey......"

Seeing that Wang Ye was about to light a cigarette with a match, the young man suddenly panicked, but Wang Ye didn't care, stuffed a cigarette into his mouth, lit his and ignited himself, and said at the same time:

"It's all young people, don't be so reserved."

"What do you call it? How old is it? ”

Although Wang Ye said so, but yesterday I learned that I was going to drive today, and Wang Ye was going to sit next to him, he was told by his parents to be very honest, and said respectfully while driving:

"My name is Li Baojun, the factory director, and I am twenty years old this year."

Hearing this name, which is quite characteristic of the times and the children of the military factory, the corners of Wang Ye's mouth rose slightly and couldn't help but smile, and then asked again:

"Still studying? Or did it work? ”

The young man named Li Baojun hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"I didn't go to school for a long time, and I didn't get into high school."

"Just work in the big group of our factory!"

For this result, Wang Ye is not too surprised, today's young people, with the resumption of the college entrance examination, have only one choice after the end of junior high school, that is, to take the high school examination, and after three years of high school, after taking the college entrance examination, according to the scores, they will enter undergraduates, junior colleges, and technical secondary schools, which is a bit similar to the meaning of one, two, and three books after the new century.

And this also leads to the fact that it is extremely difficult to study nowadays, not to mention an undergraduate college, every year in a county, there are only a handful of people who can be admitted to a secondary school (including secondary normal), no more than a slap!

As a result, a large number of young people have no job after finishing their studies, and can only flow into factories and large collective enterprises.

Therefore, two years later, in order to solve the problem of young people's employment difficulties, the state delegated the technical secondary school to the middle school entrance examination, that is to say, after the high school entrance examination, you can take the technical secondary school and teacher training, and then the state solves the work and eats "commercial grain".

"We don't have a high school, do we?"

Then Wang Ye asked, because if there is a high school in the machinery factory, then it is impossible to fail the examination at all, because as a children's school within the factory, there is no need to take the test at all.

Sure enough, I saw Li Baojun nodding and saying:

"Yes, if you go to high school, you have to go to the county seat, and you have to board."

Hearing this, Wang Ye exhaled a puff of smoke, and the air fell silent for a while, and after a few seconds, Li Baojun asked tentatively:

"Factory director, I heard that you want to contract our big collective? Really? ”

Wang Ye smiled, looked at Li Baojun who was driving with a cigarette and said:

"Yes, but whether it will work or not, not necessarily!"

"We have to wait for the leaders of the Industrial Bureau to have a meeting."

Speaking of this, Wang Ye didn't wait for Li Baojun to say anything, and asked again:

"About me contracting this."

"What do you think? What do you think? ”

Obviously, Wang Ye wanted to probe the tone from Li Baojun's mouth, and when he heard Wang Ye say this, Li Baojun instantly became excited, as if he was afraid that Wang Ye would misunderstand if he said it a second late, and quickly shouted:

"Of course, everyone hopes that the factory director can contract it!"

"After all, the factory director, if you can take our machinery factory to earn foreign exchange and make money, then you will definitely be able to make money with the big collective!"

"Now we're a big group, hey!"

At this, he sighed heavily, and then muttered a grumbling voice:

"You don't know, factory director."

"Let's just say that I have a salary of seventeen yuan a month, but I can only pay a fraction, seven yuan!"

"If you pay five more yuan to your family, it's not enough to smoke the rest of the cigarettes."

"I was going to smoke a leaf cigarette!"

"I'm not lazy, I want to work, but how can I do any work?"

"Adults still think that we know how to wander around all day long, and we don't do business all day long, saying that we are going to become second-rate."

"But why don't we wander around?"

From his voice, Wang Ye could hear a lot of grievances, so he had to smile and say:

"Don't worry, it doesn't matter if the final contracted thing is done or not."

"I'm not going to leave us alone."

"It won't be long before everyone can smoke peonies!"

Nowadays, peony is not cheap, Director Li smokes peony, also known as "cadre smoke", Wang Ye also smoked peony after becoming the factory director, and he smoked red plum when he was studying, and when he heard Wang Ye say this, Li Baojun suddenly became excited:

"Okay! When the time comes, we will do whatever you ask us to do! ”

The reason why Wang Ye said this is also very simple, now time is the most precious, even if the contracted thing is not passed, can he really not do anything?

Soon, during the chat, the time came to half past eight, and the two cars finally arrived at the air force station.

Even a few kilometers away from the station, you can see the radar on the top of the high mountain, which has a white hemispherical shape.

"Little warrior, help inform me!"

"We are from the Red Star Machinery Factory, come and visit the big guys!"

Under the cautious gaze of the guards with rifles, the two cars drove directly to the gate of the station, and then the old factory director got down from the car and said, and when he saw that the person who came down was the one-armed old factory director, the guard was suddenly surprised:

"The old factory director? How did you get here? ”

"Quick, call the battalion headquarters!"

The guards in the sentry box next to him quickly picked up the phone and began to report the news, and after a while, the door slowly opened, and the old factory director waved to the guards while getting into the car and smiled:

"Eat well at noon, come to the changing of the guard quickly!"

Then the two cars rumbled into the air force station, and a moment later stopped in the open space in front of a small building.
