Travel back to the 1970s and start as a female textile worker

The reply from Gangcheng came again, and along with it came a gift.

The clothing factory has always had contacts there, so Mr. Chen asked the transporter to send a letter and a box.

When Gu Chun returned home and opened the box, there was an all-in-one cassette player inside!

Gu Chun remembered that this thing didn't come in until after the opening up. Now most people still use ordinary radios.

In other words, it can only receive radio signals, but does not have the function of playing or listening to tape recordings.

There are a few more tapes in the box.

The old man told Gu Chun that he knew that Gu Chun was still studying and praised her for her vision.

He feels that one day the market will open up and it will be important to learn a foreign language by then.

So he gave Gu Chun several boxes of original English audio tapes, as well as blank tapes for recording, for her to use to test her learning results.

The letter also said that he had received a photo of her and praised the whole family for their good looks.

He also said that he would visit them if he had the opportunity in the future.

Gu Chun collected the letter and looked at the tape recorder in disbelief.

The old man is worthy of being a big boss. He is ahead of the curve and has now realized the importance of learning foreign languages.

Isn't it true? In the decades after the opening up, talents who can speak foreign languages ​​have become very popular.

In later generations, Gu Chun also developed good English skills in order to go abroad to watch shows and communicate with designers.

This tape recorder can be used for a few children to learn secretly and win at the starting line.

Gu Chun felt that there was no difference between himself and the parents of chicken babies in later generations.

Xiaozhuzi probed his head, "Sister, what is this?"

Gu Chun found a place to put a tape recorder, "This is a tape recorder. You can record and listen to the radio."

Xiao Zhuzi's eyes lit up, "I know, I know, Xiaopang has it at home, and you can listen to the speaker."

Gu Chun did know that Xiaopang's was a pocket radio. When he bought it, it was said to cost more than ten yuan, which was considered a big deal in this era.

His grandma showed off in the alley for several days.

Children like Xiao Zhuzi would often go to his house and listen to children's programs on the radio together.

That program is very unique because it starts with "Children, the loudspeaker is starting to broadcast."

As soon as they heard this sentence, the children immediately ran to Xiaopang's house to listen.

Gu Chun turned on the antenna, turned the channel, and found the small speaker program.

Gu Dong heard it and ran over. The two siblings squatted there together, listening with bright eyes.

The small speaker was telling "The Story of the Stone Monkey", and the child was fascinated by it.

There are not many entertainment options in this era. There is a radio program that tells stories to children, and the children like it very much.

Gu Chun didn't care about them, let them listen, and went to reply to the old man's letter.

Tell him that she received a tape recorder. Children like to listen to the program very much. She will also make good use of this tape recorder to learn foreign languages.

I hope I can have the opportunity to communicate with him in a foreign language in the future.

This tape recorder really worked. Gu Chun would always play the tape at night and everyone would listen to it together.

The volume should be turned down, because at this time, people cannot tell that they are learning English.

Gu Qiu's academic performance is very good. She seems to be very talented in language. She can imitate the spoken language in the tape after listening to it for a long time.

The accent is still very pure.

Gu Xia had no interest, but he did learn a lot of foreign language knowledge.

-

A new machine has been introduced into the factory, and the technician invited has to explain the function of the machine.

Gu Chun, as the director of the Propaganda Department, also needs to attend.

After that, a factory report will be written.

Just in case she forgot any important points, she secretly took the tape recorder to the conference room.

I plan to wait until the meeting is over and then secretly get it back to listen to the recording and check for any omissions.

Gu Chun felt that he was really smart.

Isn't this just like taking photos and recording videos during university classes in later generations?

You can reopen it at any time to review the past and learn something new.

When I got home, I turned the tape back on and started adding key points to my notes.

After listening to the entire meeting, I was about to turn off the recorder when I heard:

"dad,……"

Why is this voice so familiar?

She continued to listen, and the more she listened, the stranger her expression became.

Thinking about what she said casually, she didn't expect to guess the truth.

……

The next day, Factory Manager Liu came to see Gu Chun and seemed very happy.

"Comrade Gu Chun, there is a quota in the factory recommended for college, and I plan to let you go."

Gu Chun raised his eyebrows, but the excited Factory Director Liu didn't notice that he was still chattering.

“Oh, if you go to college, you’ll be a college student.

In the future, you can become a cadre after graduation, so go back and prepare. "

"Let me tell you, the information you need to prepare is..."

Gu Chun quickly interrupted, "Director, I don't plan to go to college. Give this place to someone else."

Factory Director Liu smiled and said, "You don't plan to go to college, that's fine. You need to get your household registration book when you go back...

What? What did you say?

You're not going to college? "

Gu Chun nodded, "Well, factory director, I won't go. You can recommend others. There are many colleagues who are better than me."

Director Liu looked serious,

"Why don't you go? This is a good opportunity. You don't know how much being a college student will help you in the future, right?"

Gu Chun solemnly thanked him, "Director, thank you for always helping me like this.

But I really don’t go to college this time. I still have a three-year-old child to raise at home, so I won’t be able to accompany Xiao Zhuzi when I go to college. "

Sorry, Xiao Zhuzi, in order not to make the old man sad, I can only use your name first.

Factory Director Liu shook his head, "Little Zhuzi is already three years old. He can run and jump. Besides, there is Gu Xia at home, and he has grown up too."

Gu Chun thought to himself, "I know, I'm just looking for an excuse. Why is this old man so hard to fool?"

She rolled her eyes and said pitifully,

"Director, is this recommended university the Textile University in Shencheng?"

After all, there are leading companies in the textile industry in Shencheng, and the recommended universities should also be in the same industry.

Director Liu said yes.

Gu Chun was now more determined to refuse.

Her ideal school is in Beicheng. She can take the college entrance examination next year, so she doesn't want to go as far away as Shencheng.

"Director, I really can't go. Shencheng is so far away and it takes two days by train.

Xiaozhu is my responsibility. Axia and Aqiu are not yet underage, and Donger is still young. How could I let them go to school? "

Factory Director Liu thought that the children in her family were indeed underage, and he actually admired her and thought she was a responsible person.

He sighed,

"I understand. I'll give you one more day to think about it. If you regret it, come to me tomorrow.

Otherwise I would give the opportunity to others. "

Gu Chun nodded obediently.

I felt a little embarrassed for rejecting the old man's kindness.

But if she could get into the ideal school on her own, she would certainly not accept this recommended way of going to college.

……

Two days later, Director Liu told Gu Chun that he had recommended another colleague.

He also said to her encouragingly,

"Gu Chun, work hard. The children will be older in two years. If there are still places, I will reserve them for you."

Gu Chun was touched that Director Liu had been very helpful to her from beginning to end.

He gave her the first and greatest kindness she faced when she came into this world.

Therefore, she has always regarded Factory Manager Liu as a respected teacher and elder.

She just didn't expect that her several conversations with Factory Director Liu would somehow spread in the factory.

Said that Director Liu would recommend her to go to college.

It was said that Factory Director Liu deliberately chose her to be the leader.

She said that Factory Director Liu had an affair with her and broke her shoes.
