Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

Zhao Xiangrong said: "This is indeed the case with the Tang family. Oh, the family is scheming against each other all day long, pulling each other's sleeves and tripping each other up. It's a mess!"

Tang Xiaofu stopped crying and said in a sweet voice, "Who cares about their little property? We earn money with our own abilities, so we can spend it comfortably and steadily!"

Zhou Shoucheng sighed, "That being said, I still feel uneasy until I get the exact news from Qiu Ping and Ning Cheng..."

He looked at Zhao Xiangrong and said, "Can you find your old colleagues in the Hong Kong Office and ask them to help inquire about it?"

Zhao Xiangrong laughed at herself and said, "The organization no longer trusts me, and they may not pay attention to me. I can only say... give it a try!"

Zhao Xiangrong has worked on a special front, and the historical issues are too complicated.

Sometimes in order to obtain intelligence, you have to do things against your will. If many of the contacts at the time have passed away and there are no witnesses to speak for you, then you will have no way to defend yourself.

Lin Zhengjun said: "Let me think of a solution! There are also some Hong Kong leftist filmmakers participating in this literary congress!"

"Who?"

"There are quite a few. I only know Xia Meng, I don't know the others!"

"Xia Meng? Xia Meng, one of the three princesses of Great Wall Film Company?"

"You know her?"

"I know him. I have had quite a lot of contact with him. At that time, I worked under Mr. Liao in Hong Kong and was in contact with left-wing figures, including filmmakers."

Zhao Xiangrong frowned, looking thoughtful, and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, Fu Qi and Shi Hui should both be here."

"It's just that their status is too high and their qualifications are too long. They are top-notch figures. Even Wang Yang, the director of Beijing Film Studio, has to respect them."

"Although you are very talented, you are still too young and inexperienced to have a say. Even if you can, they are too busy and may not be willing to help."

Lin Zhengjun said: "Everything depends on human effort, I will give it a try!"

He must find his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.

He also wanted these two to act as his agents and traders in Hong Kong to help him make money.

The lunch was very dull. The family was worried and didn't talk much.

After the meal, Lin Zhengjun comforted the two elders again. Seeing that their emotions had gradually stabilized, Lin Zhengjun returned to the Jingxi Hotel.

Tang Xiaofu and Zhu Lin went to the Beijing Film Studio to submit their acting materials.

……

Afternoon, Jingxi Hotel.

Lin Zhengjun was concentrating on writing a novel in his room.

The phone rang and Lin Zhengjun answered it.

The guard's voice came from the receiver: "Comrade Zhengjun, we have visitors. They are Wang Gaoyuan and three other comrades from the Beibingyang Soda Factory."

"Let them come directly to my room." Lin Zhengjun said.

"Ok!"

Lin Zhengjun opened the door and continued writing his novel. A moment later, Wang Gaoyuan, Yang Delong and Su Xiu walked in.

"Comrade Zhengjun, Haibo has woken up! I came here specially to express my gratitude to you!"

Yang Delong held Lin Zhengjun's hand, his eyes slightly red, and said with gratitude on his face.

"Comrade Zhengjun, thank you. I will never forget your kindness!"

Su Xiu showed a look of gratitude on her face. She knelt down straight in front of Lin Zhengjun and kowtowed three times.

"Oh, please don't do this, I can't bear it!"

Lin Zhengjun quickly helped her up.

Yang Delong took out 600 yuan and tried to give it to Lin Zhengjun, but Lin Zhengjun firmly refused: "Keep it for yourself. Haibo needs money for hospitalization. Put it away, or I'll kick you out!"

Seeing Lin Zhengjun's determination, Yang Delong had to give up, but he felt more grateful and respectful towards Lin Zhengjun, and the idea in his heart became more firm.

Lin Zhengjun said with a smile: "Please sit down, you are welcome!"

Yang Delong hesitated for a moment, always feeling that he was not worthy of coming to such a high-end place, and sat down on the sofa carefully.

"Comrade Zhengjun, this is a small gift from us. Please don't despise it. You must accept it!"

Su Xiu placed a net bag on the table, which contained a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, two bottles of Wuliangye, and two packs of Monkey King Jasmine Tea.

In addition, there are snacks from Daoxiangcun, wrapped in kraft paper, decorated with red covering paper, and tied with thin hemp ropes for easy carrying.

This gift would definitely be considered a luxury for an ordinary person, but it was not surprising at all for Lin Zhengjun. After all, he had earned tens of thousands of dollars. Therefore, Su Xiu was worried whether the gift was too small.

"They are all good things, I accept them!"

Lin Zhengjun didn't say anything too polite about this. He took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes and gave cigarettes to Wang Gaoyuan and Yang Delong. Su Xiu picked up the water cup and poured tea for the three of them.

Wang Gaoyuan smoked a cigarette and said, "The doctor at the District People's Hospital said that Dr. Zhong's surgery was very effective. Haibo has recovered well and can now move his limbs slightly. He should be able to work and live normally in the future!"

"Well, thank goodness!"

Lin Zhengjun said with a smile: "We must pay attention to safety in production in the future. We can't do things recklessly. We must promote style and pay attention to scientific management!"

"You're right. That kind of fake positivity is really harmful to people."

Yang Delong was deeply touched and sighed, "In the year of the earthquake, I became lame and two of my co-workers died while trying to save machinery and equipment. I used to be proud of it. But after this, I now doubt whether it was worth it."

"No, your ideals and beliefs must not be shaken. Only by keeping your original aspiration in mind can you achieve your goal..." Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.

"It's good to have ideals and beliefs, but sometimes, we have to consider the economics,"

Yang Delong said: "The two workers who died were both skilled workers. These past two days, I have been thinking, if they were still alive, how much value could they create for the country? It may be much more valuable than those core removal machines and block cutting machines..."

After chatting for a few more words, Lin Zhengjun looked at the time when Jin Lao was on duty and wanted to see him off. He said, "I still have some work to do. If you don't have anything else..."

"And..." Yang Delong's face turned red, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Old Yang, this is good. If you are hesitant about something, just say it!" Wang Gaoyuan said with a smile.

"Oh, I'm so ashamed..." Yang Delong was too proud to say it.

"Forget it, let me tell you!"

Wang Gaoyuan smiled and said, "Comrade Zhengjun, Chief Engineer Yang has agreed to sell that batch of second-hand equipment to your collective cooperative!"

"Master Yang, there's no need for that."

Lin Zhengjun was delighted, but shook his head deliberately and said, "If you want to express your gratitude, I have already accepted the cigarettes and alcohol. You have already expressed your gratitude. Don't let this little equipment make you unhappy. I have money!"

"Comrade Zhengjun, the knot in my mind has been untied!"

Yang Delong said: "I have always kept my public and private affairs separate. It is true that you have done me a favor, but I will not use the collective equipment to thank you!"

"Yesterday at noon, after my son woke up, the first thing I did was to take the second-hand equipment to the state-owned material purchasing station to sell it!"

"However, before I sold it, I asked them what the purchasing station was going to do with this batch of equipment and materials. Guess what, that was their answer?"

"What's your answer?" Lin Zhengjun asked.

"They actually said to use a crusher to break it up and sell it to the steel mill to be recycled!"

Yang Delong said angrily: "I was so angry at that time. It is true that this batch of semi-automatic equipment was eliminated by our factory, but it is still very advanced for many canning factories. It will not be outdated even if it is used for another five years. They actually treated it as waste. Isn't this a huge waste?"

"I had an argument with them at the time, but guess what? Not only did they not correct their behavior, they also accused me of meddling in their business and interfering with their operations and production, and even wanted to beat me. Now I realize that I was superficial, too superficial..."

"You don't have to blame yourself too much. Without investigation, you have no right to speak. Now that you have figured out the situation, it's good!" Lin Zhengjun was not surprised at all and nodded with a smile.

"I insisted on selling the second-hand equipment to the state-owned material recycling station. I wanted them to make money so that our country could accumulate more capital. After all, our country's industrial foundation is too weak!"

Yang Delong said: "Who knows, they are so wasteful and don't feel sorry for selling their father's land. Our factory suffers and the country suffers as well. So, I now ask Comrade Zhengjun to purchase this batch of equipment and give full play to its real role..."

Lin Zhengjun nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, then let's send it to the Hewan Brigade as planned. The price will be the same as before!"

Lin Zhengjun thought they were going to leave, but Yang Delong said, "Comrade Zhengjun, I have another request."

"You said, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help."

Yang Delong said: "I want to go to your Youth Food Cooperative and be a worker."
