Chapter 14 Autumn in Beijing

When Li Siming returned to Beijing, it was already late autumn. All kinds of trees had changed into new colors, an autumn rain and a cold, washing away the dew of summer and harvesting the dazzling autumn.

Every time he returns to Beijing, Li Siming can feel that this ancient city is becoming more and more vibrant. This time is no exception. With the national discussion on the issue of the standard of truth, the Republic has woken up from its sleep and is moving towards the starting line of the times.

It was also this year that Chinese people saw the beautiful garden city in Singapore for the first time, the Shinkansen in Japan for the first time, and the first time they learned what modernization is.

Yang Yue's "Weiming Lake Weekly" is also following the trend and actively participating in this ideological discussion. There are also many articles introducing foreign countries, which are all plagiarized from foreign magazines. Although she is very busy every day, when she is free, she always thinks of Li Siming. She originally said she would go on a trip together during the summer vacation, but he didn't see anyone when he was on vacation. She asked the school leaders, saying that they were involved in any scientific research project and that they would scold him when he came back.

When she saw Li Siming again, she couldn't help but scold her. Li Siming looked a little dark, and her fair face turned out to be a healthier color.

"Oh, Teacher Li still knows to come back!" Yang Yue said with a face, but her trembling hands betrayed her.

"I'm sorry, I broke my promise." Li Siming felt guilty.

"Nothing, you're a busy person."

"Don't you ask me what I've been doing in the past few months?" Li Siming asked.

"If you want to tell me, just talk and let me listen carefully!"

"..." Li Siming was speechless.

"Okay, don't pretend to be pitiful. Have you been doing well these few months?" Yang Yue did not ask. She knew something, but it was not completely.

"It's okay, someone specializes in cooking." Li Siming said it right.

"I haven't written a letter or sent a telegram for so many days, so that your parents can worry!" Yang Yue complained.

"I'm guilty, I'm guilty!" Li Siming was almost kowtowed. Thinking about it, he was really unfilial.

"Okay, let's not take the example." Yang Yue felt ashamed and couldn't bear it.

Li Siming took out a string of colorful shells from his pocket and handed them to Yang Yue and said, "This is for you!" This was a necklace he picked up by the beach while leading the team to practice for a long distance. It was very beautiful. Although he could only come here with a group of big men, picking up some shells can be regarded as a trip here.

"Wow, it looks so good!" Yang Yue was ecstatic, "Thank you, I'll forgive you for this string of shells."

Alas, I bought it with a string of ordinary shells? It seems that I really didn’t care enough before.

Back in the dormitory, Lao Ye was half lying on the bed to read a book. The English-Chinese dictionary was already broken. He was old and his memory was not as good as that of his younger classmates, but diligence could make up for his shortcomings. This is Lao Ye's learning method. The school also tried every means to offer more elective courses. Often, the entire classroom of more than 100 people was crowded with people, and everyone moved chairs to listen to it. Nowadays, college students have a strong desire to learn about everything, and later college students are completely influenced by the exam. What they care about for any problem is, "Teacher, will this content be taken?" If they don't take the exam, they will never be willing to take a look. As long as they can pass the exam, they will be completely lucky.

Seeing Li Siming coming back, Teng stood up and said happily: "Teacher Li, are you back?" Li Siming was ashamed. Although he was considered one of Peking University teachers, he still felt uncomfortable for older people to call him this.

"Yes. There is no class today?" Li Siming asked.

"Just finished. Wherever you went, you won't be seen when school starts."

"This, the school sent me on a business trip, so I came back late." Li Siming explained, changing the topic, "What news is there in the school recently?"

"This, you have to ask Yang Yue. They are the most well-informed in journalism." Lao Ye smiled. He was very familiar with Yang Yue because Li Siming was also very familiar with him. "There are news in the People's Daily every day. But there is a news that has attracted my attention. The Central Committee just came out with a 'Forty Articles of Work for Educated Youth'."

"What are the 'Forty Articles of Work for Educated Youth'?"

"The general idea is to affirm the 'great achievements' of going to the countryside over the past ten years, and it is clearly stipulated that in the future, all educated youth in farms (corontels) will be treated in accordance with state-owned enterprises and will no longer be included in the national educated youth policy."

"Didn't this cut off everyone's hope of returning to the city?"

"Yes. I think something will happen." Lao Ye sighed.

There were a bunch of letters on the bed, all sent by comrades in the Corps. Some asked for exam review materials, and some asked for information about the rumors. The company commander even took the time to write a letter, complaining that the current work is not easy to do, and there is no more prosperous scenes in the past. He also asked Li Siming what good solutions were? Li Siming found it funny. He was not a treasure chest, or he was engaged in a personal contract now, otherwise he would not mind being a farmer back.

Zeng Zhi also wrote that the boy was about to leave Shanghai and he would go to Hong Kong to join his "capitalist" relatives. Now it can be said that he is in the time to operate. His family is not only in the mainland, but also influential in Hong Kong. His identity, which was once avoided for a short time, has now become a hot commodity.

Li Siming put down his luggage and immediately returned to the laboratory. Three experts, Lin Zhiwen, Jin Wei and Xu Qishan, were still busy in the laboratory.

"Teacher Li, are you back?" Seeing Li Siming's figure, the three of them put down their work and smiled happily.

"Three, how are the recent progress?" Li Siming was concerned about the progress of the project.

"It's much smoother than we expected. Although there were many problems, it was not a big problem." Xu Qishan was very happy. "The key is that your design is so perfect that we just encountered some small problems in the production of prototypes."

"Yes, Teacher Li, this project has been completed so smoothly. Next, we will do more tests, so there should be no problem." Lin Zhiwen also said.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Li Siming was actually just plagiarism, and a lot of work was done by these three experts in front of him.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no," the three of them shook their heads quickly, "It is our greatest wish to hand over the equipment to the army one day earlier."

...

In the evening, Yang Yue took him to the movie, and there were also Shuai Xu and Xu Li.

This time I watched the Japanese movie "Chasing", a foreign film that caused a sensation in China. Li Siming, who claimed to be a hardcore movie fan in his previous life, of course, had watched it, but watching it in the cinema in the late 1970s made him feel the classic flavor.

People are accustomed to the image of "high, big, and full" in the domestic films, and Ken Takakura's tall, cold and resolute tough guy image set off a craze for "finding men" in China. What depressed Chinese male actors was that they were named "cream boy" by their own female compatriots. With the popularity of the film, in China in the late 1970s, those young men could be seen in any city wearing "Duqiu"-style windbreaker, carrying a recorder imported from Japan, and playing the theme song of the film "La Ya..."

As people flew out of the cinema, Yang Yue and Xu Li walked in front, chatting about the tough guys in the movie, and admired them so much that they wanted to marry the male protagonist. The two men behind them looked like two angry close-fitting girls. Li Siming and Xu Dashuai were extremely depressed.

"Master, don't be discouraged. We will also make movies when we have money in the future. All Chinese men will play them, which are definitely blockbusters. The plot should be tortuous and twists, and the scene should be as hot as possible. After the filming is finished, I will send it to Japan for screening. I will ensure that all Japanese men will collectively jump to the Pacific Ocean to commit suicide. All Japanese women are rushing to run to China." Li Siming said.

"Why do you run to China?" Dashuai thought what he said was interesting.

"Because Japanese men are dead, only China has men. This will be China's largest foreign trade in the future!" Li Siming continued to talk nonsense.

"Haha..." Yang Yue and Xu Li laughed loudly when they heard this!

"Then why not go to the United States?" Xu Dashuai laughed.

"Americans and Europeans are the same. You haven't seen them all look like monkeys, and their hairs have not evolved completely. We Chinese are different! They are definitely the best breed!"

"What a mess, nothing is it!" Xu Li finally held back her smile.

"This is a typical method of victory in Ah Q's spiritual!" Yang Yue said it profoundly.

"Yes, it's Ah Q! There was a plot of jumping off a building in the movie just now. If it were you, would you dare to jump?" Xu Li asked Li Siming. She was talking about a classic plot in the movie. Du Qiu and Henglu fought with the enemy. Henglu forced Nagaoka with a gun and said: "If you jump from here, didn't Asakura jump? Tangta also jumped, so please jump, you jump..."

"Master, do you dare to jump?" Li Siming turned to Marshal Xu.

"What are you asking! Why should I answer?" Shuai Xu didn't take this trick.

"If you want me to tell me, this movie is an artistic work, so let's not take it seriously." Li Siming said.

"Tsk, I knew you would say that!" Yang Yue smiled.

"I know I will die if I jump, why should I jump?" Li Siming was dissatisfied.

"You don't jump if the gun is forcing you?" Xu Li asked relentlessly.

"Then I will negotiate with him, talk to him about life, ideals and family, and be moved by reason with emotion. With my perfect tongue, the criminals will definitely cry and admit their mistakes to me!"

"Brave!" the three of them said in unison.

"Xiaoyue, you have to pay attention. Amin is too fooled. Don't be sold by him and count the money for him." Xu Li said righteously.

"I protest! Xu Li, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk randomly. I, Li Siming, are also a member of the people's teaching staff, you are slandering." Li Siming protested.

"You are also a gangster who is mixed in the people's teaching staff." Xu Li announced the protest was invalid.

"Master, don't care about it? It seems that you have a very bad tracheitis. Let me introduce you to a doctor. I was a friend of mine during the labor reform. I will treat you such a disease and ensure that the medicine can cure the disease."

"What are you talking about? Yang Yue, we can't spare him." Xu Li was so angry that she looked for her allies.
