Chapter 371 The old man wept with joy for the increasingly powerful country
"Master, dad, brother-in-law, let's have some drinks?"
When the dishes were brought to the table, it suddenly occurred to me that this year, a partner from the south had brought several bottles of Moutai to Zhang Yu from the south.
There are two bottles produced in the 1950s, and there is a layer of paper packaging on the outermost layer.
There are also four bottles of 1973 sunflowers.
This is the first time Zhang Yu has come into contact with this kind of Maotai liquor from several decades ago.
In the past, Zhang Yu's family all liked the taste of Xifeng.
But since there is Moutai, drinking Moutai is considered a taste.
I keep the two bottles of Maotai that are 50 years old, and now I will open a bottle of Sunflower that is 1973 and try it out.
As soon as the men heard that there was wine, they immediately responded.
"Drink! How can you eat without drinking?"
Zhang Yu took a bottle of sunflower from the wine rack in the west room.
This wine rack for storing wine was given to Zhang Yu by someone.
It was said to be from Huanghuali, but Zhang Yu didn't know much about antiques and martial arts.
Since someone gave it to him, Zhang Yu accepted it.
"Come on, let's try this Kweichow Moutai today."
Zhang Yu opened the lid of the wine and poured a cup each.
The use of wine cups for drinking at home was passed down from the older generation like Zhang Yu.
According to Zhang's father's recollection, when he was a child, he had not followed his parents to Guandong.
On the wine table in my hometown, the wine cup is an indispensable utensil on the wine table.
This habit was maintained by Zhang Yu's grandfather until he broke through Guandong and went to Northeast China.
Until Father Zhang came to Peiping, this habit of drinking from a wine cup has continued to this day.
Everyone took the wine cups and couldn't wait to take a sip.
It has a strong wine aroma, prominent sauce aroma, elegant and delicate, mellow body, long aftertaste, and a long-lasting aroma in the empty cup! It is indeed much better to drink than the ordinary ones.
Especially the old man nodded with satisfaction.
"Not bad, this wine is really good."
"Xifeng doesn't have this fragrance."
"Master, what you said is right, but this wine is not cheap."
"This is the national drink that people often mention."
The eldest brother took over the conversation and helped the old man popularize it.
When he heard it was the national drink, the old man's eyes widened instantly.
"Boy, don't fool the old man!"
"Is this the national drink?"
"Is it for us to receive foreign guests?"
The third brother-in-law answered firmly.
"Yes, sir, this is what people call the national drink."
"This, this, this..."
The old man looked excited and took the bottle from Zhang Yu's hand.
Carefully look at the appearance of the wine bottle.
"Okay, okay, my old man can actually drink the national wine."
As he spoke, the old man's eyes burst into tears.
I didn't expect that a little old man like him could drink such good wine.
I am also happy that the country is becoming stronger and stronger.
The old man didn't just look at it, but from the wine, he saw the increasingly powerful country.
I think of the time when I was young, throwing my life and blood, and fighting for my life.
Their generation has raised their feelings for the country to a level that is dissolved in blood and soul.
Looking at the old man with tears in his eyes, Zhang's mother quickly found a towel and helped him wipe away the tears on his face.
"Old man, you can't cry!"
"You have to be happy and feel honored!"
"Yes! Master, it's only for your happiness."
"Let's drink this wine today. One bottle is not enough. I still have some here."
The old man quickly waved his hand.
"No, no, no, you can't drink this kind of wine like this, you have to keep it for good tasting."
After appeasing the old man, everyone toasted together and started the banquet.
During this period, the old man kept talking about the scenes during the Anti-Japanese War.
Although Zhang Yu and others of his generation have told this kind of story no less than a hundred times.
But I can't get enough of it. Every time I hear about those soldiers who sacrificed their lives, I always have tears in my eyes.
When they hear that the people's warriors have won one victory after another, they will also cheer for those warriors.
Not only Zhang Yu and the others like to listen, but also children of the younger generation, Hu Zi Nuannuan and others.
Especially this guy Goudan, every time he hears this kind of story, he always shouts that he wants to serve as a soldier to protect his family and country like his grandfather.
Children who grow up in this kind of red story will learn the spirit of dedication early.
The feelings for the country will be more profound.
In fact, Zhang Yu is looking forward to what the future achievements of these children here will be.
Think about it in the future, children of their generation will not only be able to join the military, but also be engaged in politics, or go into business, or be involved in scientific research.
No matter which path he chooses, Zhang Yu will be happy to see the results.
Even if you return to the countryside and return to the original environment, Zhang Yu will encourage you.
Peasants are the foundation of the country, and all dynasties and countries are built on the contributions of peasant comrades.
Even those seemingly superior intellectuals are also accepting supplies from peasant comrades.
The starting point for everyone's food, clothing, and housing is in the countryside, so if these children want to return to the countryside in the future, Zhang Yu will 100% support their decision.
As the old man got drunk, he went back to the house to sleep early.
The atmosphere on the wine table gradually became lively.
After all, this year can be said to be a good harvest year. Both the eldest brother's family, the third sister's family, and the parents in the countryside have all earned a lot of income due to the booming development of the machinery factory.
"Xiaoyu, do you have any plans for our factory next year?"
"The stalls in our factory are getting bigger and bigger now."
"Yes, Xiaoyu, how did I hear that our old factory will mobilize a group of old employees to go to the new factory next year?"
The matter that the eldest brother asked is true. This is also something that Zhang Yu and Lao Sun have discussed for a long time.
Although the new factory has now been put into use, the operation of various processes is still somewhat immature.
It completely fails to meet the production requirements issued by the main factory.
Even the scrap rate of product parts is far higher than 30% at the main factory.
This is a serious problem that is not allowed. The increase in the scrap rate will increase the main factory's expenditure on materials.
Therefore, Zhang Yu thought that a group of old employees from far away would be transferred to the new factory and let them become the leaders of new employees.
I believe that with the guidance of the old employees, the new employees will adapt to the work of the new factory faster.
But the problems in between made Zhang Yu never dare to make a decision.
Old employees will be transferred to the new factory, which means that old employees will leave their hometowns.
This is not just a question of food and accommodation, it is also a question of whether the veteran employees are willing to go.
After all, the conditions and other conditions here in Sijiucheng are definitely much better than those in other cities.
After being transferred this time, I will definitely not be able to come back in a short time.
This involves another issue, that is, the issue of taking care of the family.
If you go to other places, you will definitely not be able to take care of the houses here in Sijiucheng. Now that the rate of anti-ruralism among educated youths has increased, the houses will probably be allocated to others in the future.
Because of these matters, Zhang Yu and Lao Sun discussed it for a long time and never made a decision.
You don't need to think about it to know that the workers here at the main factory will definitely be resistant.
