Chapter 232 First place
Mom really doesn’t know about this, Aunt Gan is also very interested in Peking University.
So Ye Yuze gave them a detailed introduction to the situation of Peking University, even describing the cafeteria with thermos bottles on every table.
After listening to Ye Yuze’s story, my mother sighed.
“Are these conditions similar to those of our Youth League Middle School?”
Aunt Gan agreed. “It doesn’t even have any meat, it’s worse than our school cafeteria!”
Ye Yuze looked at the two elders with admiration. What a strong heart they have?
Wu Tianming has been accompanying Director An in the Corps for more than a month.
Everywhere they went, they held discussions with local leaders, and then the young people accompanying them went down to the grassroots to eat and live with the company soldiers.
Director An and Wu Tianming rarely leave the company. Perhaps they do not want to make division-level leaders too suspicious.
Shihezi is a place that impressed Director An the most.
Looking at this garden-like city, Director An and his party did not believe anything they said. This was a city built entirely by themselves on the desolate Gobi Desert without asking for a penny from the state.
When they saw the original photos and drawings in the archives, they believed it.
Especially when the tour guide who accompanied them told the story of the construction process of the city with great emotion, the eyes of all the people were red.
Then, they visited more than a dozen factories including Shihezi Bayi Woolen Mill, Shihezi Bayi Cotton Mill, and Bayi Sugar Factory.
These factories all have one thing in common: they were all built in the early 1960s.
Not only did they not ask for a penny from the country, but during the most difficult period of national construction, even after the supply of steel and cement was cancelled, factories and dormitories were built with mud, bricks and wood.
It is because of these factories that Northern Xinjiang, which is rich in wool, has its own woolen products, Northern Xinjiang, which is rich in cotton, has its own cotton cloth, and Northern Xinjiang, which is rich in sugar beets, has its own white sugar.
It is these factories that support half of Northern Xinjiang, allowing a large province with low productivity and poor economy to deliver a steady stream of materials to the country.
Wu Tianming knows these situations very well, so it is not difficult to introduce them.
Director An pondered for a long time and finally asked a question that he had been thinking about for a long time.
“No matter what the name or system is, aren’t they all units of the country? Why do you care so much about titles and affiliations?”
These words obviously made Wu Tianming a little angry.
“You’ve been around for so long these days, and I’ve introduced so much to you, don’t you still understand?
Why do the people in the Corps refuse military pay and deduct money from their teeth and military uniforms to build Northern Xinjiang?
It’s because of their soldiers! Because they not only want to protect this place, but also build it!
Excuse me, Director An, if they were all local workers, would this happen? Can you tell me which factory, mine or village in the mainland would go hungry and make so many contributions for free?"
Director An looked at him in concentration for a while, then patted him on the shoulder.
“Don’t get excited, Director Wu, you sound just like that little guy! He’s from the Ninth Division, right? It’s time for us to go there and have a look.”
Wu Tianming also discovered his gaffe, but he did not apologize because he felt that he did not say anything wrong!
The results are finally out. Ye Yuze’s algebra, geometry and physics are all full marks. In Chinese and Politics, one is 98 and the other is 99.
This result caused a sensation in the Youth League Middle School. Ye Yuze was commended at the school meeting.
This little kid, who has always been inconspicuous, made all the teachers and students in the school recognize him the moment he stood on the stage to receive the award.
Of course, he was not the only one to win the award, Zhao Ling'er from his class also won the award. It's just that the score was a little worse than his.
The two of them looked like a golden boy and a beautiful girl when they stood on the stage, except that the height of the golden boy was obviously different.
Song Weibing also went up to receive the award, even though he was also the first in his second year of junior high school.
His scores are 91 in Algebra, 89 in Geometry, 95 in Physics, and 92 in Chinese. Normally these are very high scores.
But because of Ye Yuze’s score, even though he was not in the same grade, it was no longer shocking.
After all, he was several years younger and had skipped a grade. This made Song Weibing, who had been shining brightly in the regimental middle school, lose his glory.
Some people will work hard to improve themselves when they are surpassed, while some people will only transfer their hatred to others when they are surpassed.
Song Weibing happened to be this kind of person. His father was the leader of the regiment, and he was always the first in the school from elementary school to middle school.
So in his consciousness, no matter where he is, he is an unsurpassable peak in the eyes of others. And what he wants, others are not qualified to approach.
That was Zhao Ling'er, the person his father let him come into contact with, and subconsciously, only Zhao Ling'er was worthy of him.
And Ye Yuze happened to touch both of his bottom lines, not just touching them, but stepping on them both.
His eyes were fixed on Ye Yuze's face. Of course, Ye Yuze had no idea about this and was chatting and laughing with Zhao Ling'er.
After the awards ceremony, the school will be on holiday.
At that time, there were not many thick summer homework books waiting for students. Teachers would also leave homework, but it was all symbolic.
Today, my mother came home early. When the two of them stepped into the house, they smelled the aroma of meat.
When she saw her son coming back, the mother immediately reached out her hand.
Ye Yuze naturally knew what his mother wanted. He quickly took out the certificate of award from his schoolbag and handed it over.
Meihua held the certificate and looked at it for a long time, as if it was extremely difficult to read that short line of words.
Zhao Ling'er pouted and handed her own over, not forgetting to complain.
“Aunt Mei, it’s all Ye Yuze’s fault. Originally, the first place was mine, but he took it from me. You have to make delicious food for me!”
Mei Hua smiled happily. "Okay, I'll prepare delicious food for you. You are all good children."
The finger meat that my mother made specially today must have been bought and stewed together with half a lamb.
After a while, Wan’s mother also came. Meihua invited her, and then Aunt Gan also got off work.
The current director of the quilt factory is still Mama Wan, and Meihua is the deputy director. Meihua will not officially take over as the director until Mama Wan retires in March next year.
This was the rule of that era. There was no such thing as a second-tier job before retirement. You had to work until the day of official retirement before someone else could take over. This was a sign of respect for the old leader.
But of course this is only formal, Meihua has the final say on everything in the quilt factory now.
Wan’s mother is only responsible for helping her maintain production. As for what products to make and how much to produce for each type, Meihua naturally decides.
Because we have just started to innovate, the output is not high, but the current sales are quite good throughout the division.
However, it still needs a process to achieve the sales volume of pencil cases.
Even so, Wan’s mother is already satisfied, and the factory workers have begun to receive bonuses.
