The history of raising children from the Republic of China to the 70s

How could Mother Li have any scruples about these people's thoughts, she went back to the house after showing off, and only these old men were left jealous with hatred.So when Li Chengye came out, they hadn't recovered yet.

But after all, they came to play chess, and this is the main point, so they forgot about it after a while, but it is true on the surface, but it is not certain what it is in reality, anyway, Li Chengye When playing chess, I feel that these people's chess style today is more aggressive than usual.Although in the end it didn't have any impact on Li Chengye.

The time for playing chess passed easily. Four uncles came here today, and the other two left early because they had to pick up their grandchildren from school. In the end, only Uncle Zhang and Uncle Zhou were left here.The two of them took turns to play afterward, and today they had enough fun, and it was already 05:30 when it was over.

"General." Li Chengye put down the chess piece, and once again checkmates the opponent.

"Oh, I lost again." Uncle Zhou thought for a long time with a chess piece, tried several methods but found that it was useless, and finally had to throw chess and admit defeat.But even though he sighed like this, the smile on his face was very satisfied, and today he made a little progress.

Uncle Zhang on the side laughed and said: "Then you must have lost again, you have never won."

Uncle Zhou rolled his eyes at him, "It's as if you have won, but you are still my defeat."

Uncle Zhang was helpless and aggrieved, but he really couldn't say anything, because he really couldn't win the opponent.

Li Chengye just put the chess pieces on the table into the box by himself, and ignored their dispute.

Of course, the two uncles had no intention of arguing here, and stopped after a few words back and forth.Suddenly, Uncle Zhang looked at Li Chengye, and after getting close to him, he asked mysteriously: "Hey, the book I read just now seems to be related to smelting. Is your steel factory going to buy new equipment recently? Are you going to buy new equipment?" It's the secretary of the factory committee secretary, it seems that you have to worry a lot? How long has it been since you played chess with us?"

His voice was neither loud nor low, just enough that the three people near the table could hear him clearly.

"I'm going to buy equipment. I've been very busy recently." Li Chengye didn't expect him to say this suddenly. You must know that they have known each other for a while. Li Chengye just played chess with them, and he didn't know more about it. I don't know what these few people were doing before retiring. Anyway, they all look like intellectuals, and their speech and behavior are still different from ordinary workers.

Uncle Zhou also showed concern when he heard the words: "Then are you planning to go to country D to buy it? Or country M? Have you evaluated what type of equipment you want to buy?"

Li Chengye shook his head, "These things haven't been decided yet, but recently the province will organize an inspection trip to countries L and D, and our factory will also arrange people to go there." These things are not secrets, so Li Chengye naturally There is nothing to hide. Besides, Uncle Zhang knew that the book he borrowed was about smelting just by looking at the cover. Maybe he also knew something about this aspect.

Thinking of this, he quickly asked: "Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhou, what did you do before you retired? Could it be related to our steel industry?"

Uncle Zhang smiled. When he heard this question, he was like a cat whose tail was touched and scratched. Yes, the main research direction is related to smelting equipment.”

Uncle Zhou also nodded with a smile, the two of them are old acquaintances, they are both from a scholarly family, and they have known each other since childhood.They have also cooperated many times, but they have retired for several years. At that time, the atmosphere in the school was very good, and many people around them were implicated, and their situation was also a little dangerous.As soon as the two discussed it, in order to protect themselves and their family, they chose to retire early. They didn't even stay in the provincial capital. They found a relationship and brought the family to this county.

They were lucky to give up their positions, but no one envied them and wanted to mess with them, but all their abilities were wasted here.After they came here, they wanted to help the steel factory with something, but what they need for research is not only the heart, but also equipment and funds, which they don't have. Coupled with the unknown situation, they can only make themselves idlers .

The situation seems to have loosened a lot in the past two years, and they have discussed several times about what they want to do, but unfortunately there is no chance.Meeting Li Chengye was a pleasant surprise. At first they didn't want to do anything, and they didn't know Li Chengye's identity. They just wanted to play chess with him. Later, when they heard that the steel factory was going to buy new equipment, Li Chengye became the secretary of the factory committee. Secretary, they naturally thought about it.Otherwise, it was just for playing chess, how could they contact Li Chengye so actively.

Li Chengye didn't know the small calculations in their hearts, and he was already pleasantly surprised when he heard the news. This news is really surprising. The professor of mechanical engineering at the Provincial University of Science and Technology is also related to smelting equipment. This is a super talent.You must know that there are not many professionals like this, and there are actually two in their small county, which is simply a pie in the sky.

"Gentlemen, you are really professors of mechanical engineering? But why are you in this small county like ours? It's amazing!"

Uncle Zhou smiled. They have been observing the Li family for a long time, and they still believe in his character, so they said directly: "We have nothing to do, the outside is too chaotic, and it is difficult for us in this small county. Safer."

Thinking of the situation in this era, Li Chengye roughly understood what they meant, and he was very impressed, "Then you are really amazing!"

In the face of adversity, some people choose to face it head-on, even at the cost of sacrifice, just for that breath.Some people make detours, reduce losses, lie dormant, preserve vitality, and wait for time to settle down.It cannot be said that this is good or that is not good, but the latter needs to face more things and the pressure will be greater.

Uncle Zhang was very happy to hear Li Chengye's praise, "That is, we have spent so much time, so much resources and money, we always have to live a few more years, and when we have the opportunity, we should make more contributions to our country, no, you see Isn't it getting better and better now? One day the knowledge in our minds will continue to work." He looked confident.

Uncle Zhou nodded again and again, with a smile on his face, but he thought more, and the smile disappeared after a while.He and old man Zhou jumped out of the vortex smoothly, but there were others who didn't know what was going on. At the beginning, many people were sent to the frontier farms and rural areas for transformation. How many people can hold on, these years they have almost cut off the contact with the provincial capital, and they don't know their situation.

Uncle Zhang has a rough heart, so he didn't know the sadness in his old partner's heart, so he continued to smile and said to Li Chengye: "What? Did you buy these books because you want to study these devices in depth? Do you need a teacher, we are free. "

It's rare to see a person take the initiative to learn this. His heart, which is eager to recruit apprentices but has not been satisfied for many years, can't help it.

What Li Chengye thought before was that he would probably stay in the steel factory for a long time, and knowing more about it would be good for his future development, especially for things like steel production that depended heavily on technology.Now that he heard that they were willing to take the initiative to teach him, how could Li Chengye refuse, but he still said first: "I didn't have any mechanical foundation before. If you two don't think I'm stupid, I will definitely be very willing to ask you two." learned."

Uncle Zhang waved his hand and said in a nonchalant manner: "What's the matter, we are professionals, as long as you study hard, we promise to teach you."

Uncle Zhou put those things aside for now, and responded to Uncle Zhang's words with a smile, "That's right, you have no problem with your IQ, and there are two of us teaching together. How can you not become a talent, but the book you borrowed now It’s not suitable for beginners, and it’s hard for you to understand. In this way, I’ll write a few books for you, and they’re all available in the library, so you can read them first before talking.”

Li Chengye nodded. He carried a notebook and a pen in his pocket, and immediately took them out and handed them to him. "Okay, I'll trouble you then!"

Uncle Zhou took the notebook and pen, and began to write on the chessboard. Uncle Zhang naturally couldn't stand still, so the two got together to discuss, and finally wrote seven or eight books with deletions, deletions, and deletions. I came over to take a look, only to feel the pressure, and frown.

Uncle Zhou looked at him and smiled reassuringly, "Don't stress too much, you don't need to learn too much in this situation, just understand the general development direction, parameter settings, etc., and don't point you to develop something. mechanical equipment."

Li Chengye nodded. This is very correct. He really does not have the idea of ​​becoming a researcher. He just wants to be an academic manager. Only when you understand it, you will not make mistakes when it is easy to manage. direction.

This is the end of the matter. Suddenly, Li Chengye realized that his D language ability has no source. These two are professors of machinery, and many books related to machinery are in D language. Maybe they can speak D language, so he hurriedly asked : "Professor Zhou, Professor Zhang, do you two understand the D language?" He already knew that they were professors, so Li Chengye had the nerve to call him uncle.

But Uncle Zhang immediately stopped him and said, "Hey, don't call us professor, you should just call us uncle, we are not professors now, besides, we are still worried if you call like that!"

Uncle Zhou also said very seriously: "It's still the same as before. At our age, we can't stand it."

Li Chengye thought about it too, this title is attracting attention here, so it is not a good thing for them, so he quickly nodded in agreement, expressing that he would never call him that again in the future.

The two uncles were very satisfied with this. Uncle Zhou said: "You want to learn D language? I do understand some D language, but most of it is related to machinery. I don't understand many daily expressions."

Uncle Zhang shook his head and said he would not, just as Li Chengye thought, because for a long time before, the machinery manufacturing of country D was in the leading position in the world, so Uncle Zhou learned from others in order to understand the technical information D mandarin, but almost all of his learning is related to machinery, but he gave up the daily ones.

Li Chengye just wanted to find a source for his D language. As for how well he can learn it, no one else can separate his mind, so he was naturally very pleasantly surprised and said: "I really want to learn D language, and it's about machinery. Yes. There are three people from our steel factory who can go abroad for inspection this time, and one of the places is for translation. I can understand Mandarin Y, but I don’t know Mandarin D. There are too few people who can understand this language. I want to learn more. , maybe it will be an advantage at that time."

Of course, going abroad for an investigation is not so fast. It is expected to be in December, and there is still more than one month left, which is enough for him to do a lot of things.

Uncle Zhou didn't expect Li Chengye to have the same ideas as him, so he would refuse his request, so he immediately agreed: "That's fine, then I'll come to your side these few nights and study for two hours a day, let's work hard Try to be able to speak easily within a month."

Uncle Zhou was a genius when he was young, otherwise he wouldn't be able to just learn D Mandarin, so he also treated Li Chengye according to his own standards.

Li Chengye didn't have any objections, so he naturally nodded in agreement.

While the few people were talking, Mother Li had already looked over here several times. Seeing that they hadn't left after six o'clock, she couldn't help shouting at them, "Hey, what time is it? You two old men don't go home for dinner, hurry up, my family is going to eat."

She was angry and didn't show any face to the two provincial university professors. Although she didn't know that these two were professors, Li Chengye knew, and quickly said to Li's mother, "Mom, take the child to eat first." Well, I still have something to ask the two uncles."

"Okay! Then hurry up, or the meal will be cold by the time it's finished." Since her son had something to do with them, Li's mother was naturally not so angry, and she went straight into the house after admonishing her.

Uncle Zhang smiled, "Your mother is really protective!"

Li Chengye was worried that they would have opinions, so he hurriedly said: "My mother only has one son, so it's inevitable that something like this will happen. I'm really sorry!"

Uncle Zhou quickly waved his hand, "Haha, what's the matter, the eldest girl is just straightforward and careless, and besides, we old men often take up your time, so she will inevitably have some opinions. We can't blame her, she doesn't blame us. It’s about Amitabha.”

Uncle Zhang: "Yes, yes, after we become your teachers, your mother's attitude towards us will definitely be much better."

Li Chengye also laughed, it was true, if Li's mother knew that they had become his teachers, she would definitely treat them much better, why would he be her son and she be his mother!

It was indeed getting late, Uncle Zhou and the others didn't intend to stay longer, they put away the chessboard and prepared to go back, Li Chengye sent them to the gate of the yard.

Before leaving, Li Chengye seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly said: "The current equipment in our steel plant is old and there are many problems. Do you have time? I would like to ask you two to go over and check our steel plant. Better do some repairs or something."

Mr. Zhang only felt that his hands were going to be rusted these years, and this was a good opportunity for him to show off his skills, so he immediately agreed, "We have a lot of free time, and we have a lot of time to check and repair your factory for nothing. Yes, but you don’t have the final say in your factory, right?”

Li Chengye said this naturally because he knew Secretary Chu well, knowing that he would definitely agree to this kind of thing that is beneficial to the steel plant, so he immediately smiled and said: "As long as you two agree to go there, as for other things Naturally, I will handle it well, and of course I will not let the two of you work for nothing."

Uncle Zhou: "We've been giving birth all these years, and this time it's a rare opportunity to do it. You just need to get it done. As for the salary, don't try to fight for us. I don't even need it." .”

Before they retired, their wages were very high, and they had a lot of savings in their hands. They didn't care about the remuneration of the steel factory at all. The important thing was to get in touch with the equipment.

What else could Li Chengye say, so he could only nod in agreement.He stood at the door watching them walk away, and had no intention of going back to the house immediately. It was getting dark now, and Li Chengye soon lost sight of the figure in front of him.

Today is a very rewarding day. Although he encountered bad opinions in the morning, the appearance of Uncle Zhou and Uncle Zhang made him feel better. These two mechanical professors from the provincial capital will really be the future Strong foreign aid.

After sighing for a while, and thinking about how to tell Secretary Chu about checking the equipment, Li Chengye went back to the house and closed the yard door.

In the main room, Li's mother was taking two children to eat. The rural ones were still in charge of the house, and the two children had already returned to eat with bowls. Unlike when Li Chengye was a child, he had to let the nanny chase after him to feed him.They were very obedient when they ate, probably because Li's mother taught them well, and none of the rice in the bowl was spilled.

"I'm back, come and eat quickly, I'll get you some food." Mother Li greeted Li Chengye to sit down as soon as she saw him coming back, and then hurried to the kitchen.

Li Chengye knew that he couldn't stop Mother Li, so he nodded and sat down, waiting for the meal to come.

"Is today's meal delicious?" Li Chengye asked with a smile as it was rare for him to have the leisure and time to talk to the two children today.

"Delicious, the dishes made by grandma are delicious." The two children nodded repeatedly when they heard the words, and then they ate again, showing their attitudes with actions.

"Oh, you are really two little darlings." As soon as Li's mother came out of the kitchen, she heard what the two darling grandchildren said. She was very happy, and hurried over, handed the job bowl to Li Chengye, and touched them one by one. touch the head.
