Hello 1983

  Chapter 248 Preparing to enter Beijing

   "Qingshan, this year our school's English score has increased by nearly 20 points on average, and this is thanks to you;"

   "When I was reviewing mathematics, I also listened to your suggestion and increased the difficulty. Although the average score is only 48 points, it is also the first in the region."

   "In addition, you Jiapigou have provided milk to candidates every day for the past two months. I represent the school today, thank you, and thank you, the folks in Jiapigou!"

  Big bearded Xu must have been a little drunk, so he handed over his old diners, stood up unsteadily, and toasted in each room.

   "Old Xu is happy today!"

  Director Jiang also said with a smile: "I will also toast a glass of wine, thank you Jiapigou for cultivating such a good talent."

  Many county leaders present today should also go to toast, so Liu Qingshan didn't stop them, but went with them.

  The Director of Education and the principal of the No. 1 Middle School toasted together. Of course, everyone has to show face, because today's theme is education.

   While talking, when it came to Jiapigou, County Magistrate Wang was quite emotional: "You Jiapigou are really outstanding people."

  A few months ago, Jiapigou was featured in the People’s Newspaper, and now, another student from Peking University has appeared. It’s really not easy.

Director Jiang also took up the conversation: "In the morning, Lao Xu and I went to the village for a walk. Although it is a bit rough, the grades of the children are still very good. Teacher Yang, who supports the teaching, is a college student from the capital. He is absolutely high-level. .”

   "Jiapigou can attach so much importance to education, and it will definitely train more and more college students in the future!"

   What he said made the old branch secretary and Captain Zhang laugh from ear to ear.

   And Liu Qingshan was moved in his heart, and just took advantage of this opportunity to express his thoughts brewing in his heart.

  So he laughed twice: "Director Jiang, Teacher Yang is too wronged to teach in our village. Our cooperative is going to transfer her to the wild vegetable factory as the factory director."

   "So, we need to trouble Director Jiang to give us Jiapigou and re-appoint two teachers."

   Director Jiang also immediately made a decision: "Okay, we must support it!"

  A feast, and finally a happy ending.

  The guests were sent away, and all the households also returned their things, and this was considered a complete stop.

  At Liu Qingshan’s house, everyone also helped clean up. Today, on this occasion, Liu Qingshan drank a catty and a half, a little too much, and planned to go back to his side to sleep.

  Although Liu Qingshan doesn't usually drink much, it doesn't mean he can't drink. Every morning, he is influenced by the medicinal wine prepared by Master.

  So a catty and a half of liquor is only slightly drunk.

   As a result, someone refused to agree, so Yang Hongying led the fourth and fifth children to find him angrily.

   "Sanfeng, I want to be a teacher in a village primary school, why are you depriving me of my rights!"

  Yang Hongying raised her brows upside down, and her fingers were ready to move.

  The little fourth child also put his hips on his hips and chimed in: "Yes, we like the old lady the most!"

  Even Shan Xing, who has always formed a united front with Liu Qingshan, raised objections today: "Brother, my sister will lead us to plant trees."

   What are you doing to start a criticism meeting?

  Liu Qingshan looked at a big girl leading two little girls, and beside him was a small girl Zheng Xiaoxiao who was smiling and watching the excitement, and felt a little bit big.

   "Old sister, the principal of our village primary school is still you. The original things, such as planting trees, can continue when you have time."

   "There is really a lack of a main person in charge at the wild vegetable factory. You, a dignified Peking University graduate, are too wronged to be a teacher in a village primary school."

   "I feel fine!"

  Yang Hongying was still a little unconvinced: "Isn't there you at the wild vegetable factory?"

  Liu Qingshan smacked his lips: "Sister, I'm still a student, and I have to focus on my studies."

   "Yo, now you know that you are a student, why don't you go to school?"

  Zheng Xiaoxiao also joined the ranks of criticism, which is the rhythm of forming a women's criticism alliance.

  Liu Qingshan was exhausted to deal with it, and in the end he even used tricks like sell miserably:

   "Old sister, I have too many miscellaneous things every day, and I can't manage it. A person's energy is limited. Don't you have the heart to watch me exhausted?"

  Hearing what he said, Yang Hongying's anger gradually subsided, and she complained: "As long as you can, take care of everything and worry about your life."

  The stance of the fourth and fifth children was also not firm. The family grabbed one of Yang Hongying's arms and shook it vigorously:

   "Sister, you can help elder brother, don't tire him out."

   "You two little traitors." Yang Hongying poked their heads.

  Zheng Xiaoxiao also blinked her big eyes, and said in her mouth: "Old sister, you are a graduate of a prestigious university, and you seem to be a bit condescending. Why don't you try being a factory manager?"

   You guys, where are you from?

  Yang Hongying also felt dumbfounded. She had already adapted to her current role and lived every day to the fullest.

  But today, when Liu Qingshan said this, her suppressed competitive character was also rekindled.

  It seems to be on a bigger stage, a wider world, to display your talents, and this is how you live up to your life.

   Seeing Yang Hongying's eyes getting brighter and more determined, Liu Qingshan said with a grin:

   "This is my old lady who dares to do something!"

   "Okay, I promise you."

  Yang Hongying finally made a decision.

  Liu Qingshan was completely relieved, yawned, and walked out of the house: "I can't do it, I drank a little too much today, I'll take a nap first."

"whee!"

  The fourth and fifth children couldn't help laughing when they saw his wobbly appearance.

  Yang Hongying also stared: "You are arresting me as a laborer, and you are the shopkeeper yourself, don't run away, and see if I wake up your wine!"

  It's a pity that her wish didn't come true, and the two little traitors held her back with open arms.

   There was also a little accomplice, Zheng Xiaoxiao, who even took Yang Hongying's arm and asked her to help with math problems.

  Such a simple question, you girl actually said no, did you do it on purpose...

  The next day, Yang Hongying officially took office and began to familiarize herself with the equipment and workers of the wild vegetable factory. With the assistance of Liu Qingshan, she drafted the factory's employee rules and regulations on rewards and punishments, etc.

  As for Liu Qingshan, he retreated behind the scenes and began to prepare for his trip to Beijing.

  His plan is to take his second sister there early, and while he still has 200,000 spare cash on hand, see if he can buy a house in the capital in the name of his second sister.

  There needs to be a foothold sooner or later, why not buy a house as soon as possible, the sooner the cheaper.

  He knows very well that in the future, the housing prices in the capital will rise like a monkey monkey, turning somersaults.

   While discussing this matter with his family, the eldest brother-in-law Gao Wenxue suddenly said: "Sanfeng, your eldest sister and I are also going to take Xiaohuo and go back."

  Liu Qingshan was taken aback for a moment, then relieved, and grinned loudly: "That's great, we just go together, and we're also a companion!"

  This question was due to his negligence.

  The eldest brother-in-law’s hometown is in the capital. Since he jumped in the queue, he hasn’t been home for many years, and only has a small amount of correspondence.

  Although the eldest brother-in-law’s family didn’t seem to care much about this son, when they got married, Gao Wenxue went to the commune and called back, but he didn’t see his family.

   But no matter what, blood is thicker than water. Now that you have a wife and son, you should go home and have a look.

  This is human nature, and there is no reason to stop it.

  Hearing that Liu Qingshan agreed very happily, Gao Wenxue also secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He was somewhat resentful towards his family.

  For so many years, he was left alone in a remote mountain village, as if he was left to fend for himself.

   But his parents, brothers and sisters are all his relatives after all. From his point of view, these are things that cannot be given up.

   But Liu Jinfeng was a little worried: "There are so many chickens in the house, with hundreds of mouths, my mother can't take care of them alone."

  Lin Zhi also understood the reason, and said comfortingly: "Jinfeng, the in-laws still need to see each other, and your grandparents and I will take care of the family."

  Liu Qingshan has already made arrangements: "I told the third and fourth children of Zhang Jizi's family to come and help during this time, eldest sister, take care of them these two days."

  Liu Jinfeng felt at ease now, but she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy when she thought about meeting those family members of her husband's family who had never met.

  The discussion on their side was heated, and the little fourth child who had been listening in finally couldn't help but make his own voice:

"elder brother-"

  Hearing her twists and turns, Liu Qingshan didn't understand why, so he deliberately put on a straight face: "What are you doing?"

   "Brother, Shanxing and I also want to see Tian~an~men."

  The little fourth child lowered his head and muttered in a low voice.

  In this era, that place is the holy place in the hearts of all children, and it is definitely the first place they want to go.

"I want to see it, that's easy to do. When my brother comes back, I will definitely take a few more photos. There are those of your elder sister and elder brother-in-law, those of your second sister, and mine. By the way, there are also those of Xiao Huo. When the time comes You can see enough."

  Liu Qingshan counted with his fingers, and the fourth child was about to drop golden beans from his eyes. He held his mouth tightly and tried hard not to let the tears fall.

   "Stupid girl, thanks to you calling yourself smart, you can't tell even if your brother is teasing you."

  Yang Hongying touched the head of the little fourth child.

   "Really!" The fourth child jumped up.

  Liu Qingshan also smiled and patted Shan Xing who was sitting quietly beside him: "You and Shan Xing go together!"

"great!"

  The little fourth child immediately put his arms around Shan Xing, jumping up and down, but after being happy for a while, he remembered another thing:

   "Then there is still mother, grandparents, why don't we all go!"

   Not bad, I have not forgotten a few elders.

  Lin Zhi smiled and shook her head: "I won't go, you guys are happy going out, and I'm happy at home."

  Liu Qingshan nodded: "This trip must be a lot of trouble. After I buy a house in the capital and settle down, my mother and grandparents can live there anytime in the future."

   "Brother, if you want to buy a house in the capital, that would be great, let's buy it in Tian~An~men Square!"

  The youngest and fourth child began to jump high again.

  Liu Qingshan touched his nose: Your brother doesn't seem to have that ability.

  Lin Zhi was a little worried: "Sanfeng, is it allowed to buy a house in the capital?"

   This kind of thing is hard to even think about. Lin Zhi is already satisfied with building five large tile-roofed houses in Jiapigou.

Grandpa Liu Shikui spoke at this time: "When Erfeng's household registration and food relations are opened to the capital, it stands to reason that he can buy a house there, but Sanfeng, it's okay for us to buy a house in the capital. Use it?"

  Buying a house and land is a tradition left by the older generation. It is a business no matter what time it is, and Liu Shikui has no objection.

  He was worried about one thing: no one lived there, so he couldn't just buy a house and leave it empty, right?

Liu Qingshan smiled and explained to his grandfather: "Master, the second sister is going to school there, and she will start a business there in the future, including me and some businesses in our village. They will also extend to the capital. Now that the house is cheap, I I have spare money on hand, so of course I want to buy it.”

   Liu Shikui didn’t quite understand such a long-term plan, but being able to buy a house in the capital is something to be proud of, so he nodded:

   "Okay, you young people's affairs are up to you, and we old people will follow you to enjoy the happiness, haha."

  The plan to go to the capital has been determined in this way, and there are quite a few people: all the younger generations of the Liu family are included, as well as the eldest brother-in-law Gao Wenxue, and Xiao Huo who is still nursing.

  However, before departure, there are still some chores that need to be dealt with. For example, the eldest sister will hand over the work of the chicken farm with Zhang Laosan and Zhang Laosi.

  Second sister also needs to apply for a letter of introduction, as well as handle household registration and food relations.

  Liu Qingshan also needs to make proper arrangements for the big and small things in the village and the wild vegetable factory. This trip to the capital may take a long time, so the rear must be stabilized first.

  The other thing is the preparation of supplies. To visit the family of the eldest brother-in-law, you can’t go empty-handed, right?

   There is also Lin Zizhou, who also needs to bring some local products there. After all, Jiapigou can be published in the newspaper, and they have helped a lot.

   Besides, he has to go up the mountain and stay at the master's place for two nights. The two boxes of ancient paintings last time contained more than a dozen paintings, all of which were dilapidated.

  Liu Qingshan is going to take it there and ask Master Lu to take a look and see if he can find someone to help repair it, otherwise it would be a pity to ruin it.

   In the mountains, I told the dumb grandpa about going to BJ, and the old man handed him an envelope, gesticulating:

   Just went to see your uncle.

  Uncle?

  Liu Qingshan didn't know where this uncle came from, but since the master explained it like this, he also put the envelope away.

   On August 1, 1984, the Army Day, Liu Qingshan's family left Jiapigou happily and headed for the capital.

  The first stop, Spring City.

  Liu Qingshan and the others boarded the green leather train bound for Spring City with big bags and small bags on the ground.

   "Wow, this is a train, it's so big!"

   The youngest and fourth child were chattering, that was excitement.

  Shan Xing’s big eyes also shone with excitement, looking at these novel things curiously.

  The wilderness flying by outside the car window, the crowded people inside the car, the noisy voices...

  There were a lot of people in the carriage, Liu Qingshan and the others got on the train halfway, so they only grabbed two empty seats, the eldest sister sat in one with a small fire, and the rest took turns.

  There is no good smell when there are too many people. The smell of sweat, stinky feet, smoke, etc. are mixed together.

   Fortunately, the train at this time can open the windows. The windows on both sides of the train are opened, and when the draft blows, the inside of the carriage is really not stuffy at all.

   "Brother, let's go for a stroll in another carriage."

  The little one is very active. It is the first time to take the train, so of course you have to see enough.
