Rebirth in 1976 begins with educated youth

Early the next morning, after seeing off Zhou Mingshan and his party, Liu Yan and Zhou Haiyang arrived at the Yongfeng County Supply and Marketing Cooperative at the time agreed last night.

The supply and marketing cooperatives in China are the places that most impressed people in the 70s and [-]s.In the era of planned economy, supply and marketing cooperatives were spread all over the country.

Supply and marketing cooperatives are run by the government and are state-owned units.

In the era of planned economy with material scarcity, supply and marketing cooperatives were everything in people's daily lives.It can be said that "the sparrow is small but has all the internal organs". It has everything.The supply and marketing cooperative has never worried about not being able to sell its products.

Many times, families need brown sugar and eggs to give birth to children, and large items such as sewing machines, watches, and bicycles need to be purchased for weddings, and the purchase requires approval from the director of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Therefore, working in a supply and marketing cooperative was quite prestigious, and it was a very popular profession in those days.As the director of the county supply and marketing cooperative, not to mention, even the main leaders in the county have to be polite when they see him.

After Wang Qiang greeted his father in advance, he waited at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative early in the morning.After seeing Liu Yan and Zhou Haiyang, the three people went straight to the office of Wang Qiang's father, Director Wang Yufeng.

Considering that the three of them were once educated youths who jumped in the queue at Yuanping's educated youth center, and the relationship between Wang Qiang and his son, Liu Yan felt that there was no need to beat around the bush when meeting Wang Yufeng.

The main purpose of the first contact is to understand the current county supply and marketing cooperative's demand for the variety and quantity of bamboo products, purchase channels, purchase prices, as well as monthly sales volume and main customer groups.

In addition, Liu Yan plans to buy a few samples that are currently selling well and take them back, and ask Fan Lili's mother and several sisters-in-law to make similar things.

As long as the workmanship is better than the original purchase channel, the price is not higher than others, and there is Wang Qiang's personal connections, there is no need to worry about the supply and marketing cooperative not agreeing to cooperate.

On this basis, we can also make several special varieties that no one else has, such as Baizhang terraced bamboo products that are warm in winter and cool in summer, and have certain curative effects on arthritis and cervical vertebrae. This will help the county supply and marketing cooperative expand new markets and customers. , and can also increase the income of Yuanping Village...

As long as Yuanping's bamboo products have advantages in craftsmanship, function, style and price, cooperation between the two parties will be absolutely beneficial to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Therefore, Liu Yan was confident in his visit this morning and was sure to win.

After Wang Qiang introduced the two parties, Liu Yan directly explained the purpose of his visit to Wang Yufeng.

As expected, after listening to Liu Yan’s introduction, Wang Yufeng readily agreed: “The county supply and marketing cooperative’s original bamboo products mainly came from supply channels in neighboring provinces.

The biggest problem is that the products have a single style and rough workmanship.Although the unit price of the product is not expensive, the cost increases a lot with long-distance transportation.

If the problem of supply and supply can be solved locally, it will be beneficial to the supply and marketing cooperatives, both in terms of actual results and occupation of working capital.

Of course, if there can be breakthroughs and improvements in workmanship, style, and functionality, this will be a good thing for village-run factories and supply and marketing cooperatives!

"Director Wang, would you like to see if this works? Can you let us visit the current samples of bamboo products from the county supply and marketing cooperative? One is to learn, and the other is to buy a few samples and go back..."

"No problem, I'll take you to the sample room right now." Director Wang agreed very readily.

……

It was almost noon when the three of them walked out of the county supply and marketing cooperative.

"The key to the bamboo factory now lies in Yuanping Village." Wang Qiang said.

"We will go back today and start making samples right away. Haiyang, when the work of making samples is assigned, you will be responsible for checking and accepting. We must not cut corners, and the raw materials cannot be shoddy.

Once the samples come out, contact Wang Qiang immediately.Wang Qiang, the county supply and marketing cooperative will rely on you from now on. "

......

After breaking up with Wang Qiang, Liu Yan and Zhou Haiyang walked towards the county party committee compound...

The Yongfeng County Party Committee Courtyard was built in the early 50s. After reconstruction in 1964, several dormitory buildings were added to the courtyard.Currently, both the county party committee and the county revolutionary committee work in one compound.

When Liu Yan and Zhou Haiyang arrived, Pei Xiaohong was already waiting at the entrance of the compound.

When you walk into the courtyard, you will see three five-story office buildings in the front yard. When you enter the backyard, you will see three dormitory buildings of different specifications. All the buildings in the courtyard are made of blue bricks.

There are many tall trees in the yard that cannot be named and have been growing for many years.

Along the stone path between the green grass, we came to a three-story unit building.

There are a total of six families living in this building, two on each floor, and several major leaders of Yongfeng County live there.

Pei Changyuan's home is in a unit facing east on the second floor of this building.

This is a house with three bedrooms and two living rooms. At this time, Pei Xiaohong's parents have not yet gotten off work.

"Xiaohong, we met your dad yesterday. He is quite nice, cheerful and approachable. I know your mom is the director of the county hospital, but this is the first time Liu Yan and I have met..." Zhou Haiyang said with a smile.

"You two have a good impression on my dad. I kept hearing him talking about you last night, especially Liu Yan. As for my mom..." Pei Xiaohong smiled and continued generously: "In addition to the portraits and portraits of great men, our family Apart from the quotations, no other photos will be hung.

But in the bookcase, there is a photo of my mother and her classmates in college. Come and take a look. "

Pei Xiaohong said while walking: "In the eyes of many people, my mother is a very principled person.

But anyone who has been in contact with her for a long time knows that she is very friendly and kind-hearted to people, especially ordinary people.

Speaking of this, I remembered a story related to our Yuanping Village.

Do you still remember Uncle Liu who reminds us of the joys and sorrows from time to time? "

"Why don't you remember? The bamboos on the [-]-foot terraced fields of Made Mountain are so mysterious..." Liu Yan said with a smile.

"It happened during the days when Educated Youth Point sent you two to Madshan to protect the forest seedlings..." Pei Xiaohong continued:

Uncle Liu's waist was bitten by an unknown insect, and a big pustule developed. It accidentally broke and became inflamed, and it swelled badly.

He went to Tianyuan Commune Health Center several times but couldn't see anything good, so he asked Secretary Fan for leave and came to the county seat.

That day, he got up early, arrived at the outpatient hall of the county hospital, and went straight to a room in the front.

I opened the door and saw two doctors in white coats sitting there.

"Why did you just barge in?" a doctor asked.

"I have pain in my back, please ask a doctor to take a look."

The doctor told him patiently: "To see a doctor, you must first go to the outpatient clinic to register, then queue up to get your number, and then enter the room."

“I am a poor and lower-middle peasant, do I still need to register for medical treatment?”

"No matter who you are, you have to queue up to register. We don't do anything special here."

"I don't even want to see a doctor in the commune hospital." Uncle Liu muttered and walked out of the room unhappy.

Only a "bang!" was heard behind him, and the door was closed.

Uncle Liu is right. Indeed, in that era, there were many local hospitals where poor and lower-middle peasants and workers received medical treatment just like soldiers had priority in medical treatment. They could receive special care without having to queue, and they could even jump in line at will.

But Yongfeng County Hospital does not have this rule.

According to Pei Xiaohong’s mother: saving lives and healing the wounded, practicing revolutionary humanitarianism, everyone should be equal.Regardless of origin, wealth or poverty.

[Author's digression]: The long serial novel "Rebirth in 1976 Begins as an Educated Youth" begins in the 70s and ends in the 21st century, with the main story line spanning more than 40 years.

This work is different from many works that describe the official promotion of students from poor families. It mainly describes the children of cadres in Jiangning Province, represented by Liu Yan, who experienced the 70s, 80s, and [-]s. After graduating from college in the early [-]s, they voluntarily gave up their careers in ministries, commissions, provincial and municipal agencies. Opportunities require the step-by-step growth process after entering rural grassroots work...

The experiences of that year enabled them to learn to calmly, comprehensively and deeply understand the national conditions and people's conditions, especially the actual situation in rural areas.

They have seen and experienced with their own eyes how huge the difference between urban and rural areas is, how unbalanced development is between regions, how poor the vast rural areas are, and the contrast in people's ideological concepts and culture.

They have done their best in the movement of going to the mountains and countryside, in the social projects to change the poverty and backwardness of rural areas, and in the construction of material and spiritual civilization in rural areas, and have achieved indelible achievements.

At the same time, they are also clearly aware of the reality that to completely change the face of rural poverty, it is not only a matter of material poverty alleviation, but also a spiritual poverty alleviation, and there is a long way to go.

Going to the mountains and countryside has made them consciously or unconsciously develop a belief in life that is unwilling to lag behind, be unwilling to sink, and work hard to make progress.

It cultivates the political character of understanding the national conditions and people's sentiments, caring about the destiny of the nation, and hoping for the steady development of the country.

Therefore, when they enter the officialdom, no matter where they are, they will use a deeper look to understand the national conditions, sympathize with the people's sentiments, observe and participate in the changes and development of the country in every major reform...
