The two sisters expressed their admiration for their sister-in-law's transformation, and Xiang Meimei went home.

Xiang Hongqi didn't care about these family affairs. He was always a man of few words.

At this time, he was reading a book borrowed from Mianmian with great interest. This was inspired by Wang Chunting's accounting exam.

His daughter-in-law has made progress in her studies and has found a better job through studying. Is he going to be complacent and spend the remaining twenty years as a level six worker?

What's wrong with being forty years old? He still has to keep up with the times. He reads some relevant professional books.

When Xiang Hongqi saw a particularly well-written book, he would forget about eating and sleeping. He would often get inspiration in the middle of a nap and rush to the factory to practice his skills.

Xiang Mianmian supports her father who is still strong and wants to learn and improve himself. People should realize their spiritual values ​​if they want to have enough food and clothing. Otherwise, where is the fun in life?

It doesn’t matter whether you can have a second career boom or not, as long as you have a positive attitude towards life, it’s good enough.

Xiang Mianmian thought she could only wait for her mother to come back from Shanghai, but she didn't expect that when she went to her sister-in-law's house for lunch the next day, she got a surprise at school in the afternoon.

"Teacher, will you take me to Shanghai for internship?!"

In the teacher's office, Xiang Mianmian's tone was full of surprise.

Teacher Guo smiled and put away his tools. "Don't be so surprised. A machine at Shanghai Heavy Industry is broken. I want everyone to think of a solution."

He stuffed his tool bag full and turned to look at his disciple's surprised expression. "Just treat it as going out to see the world. We'll set off tomorrow morning."

There are cultural courses and technical courses in the technical secondary school. Teacher Guo teaches technical courses and especially likes Xiang Mianmian.

At first, I looked down on girls learning this, thinking that girls were just trying to learn for fun so that they could find a rich husband.

Later it was discovered that Xiang Mianmian was bold and careful, had steady hands, and her repair skills were much better than those of boys.

With her excellent attitude and love for the world of repair, Xiang Mianmian was accepted as a disciple by Teacher Guo after just a few training classes.

There is a big difference between students and disciples. Specifically, students are taught in school one after another, and after two or three years there is little interaction.

The disciple is the successor of his mantle, just like his own children and nephews. Teacher Guo often brings her home for dinner and discusses how to repair new gadgets.

So when he received the invitation from Shanghai Heavy Industry, he immediately brought Xiang Mianmian along.

Xiang Mianmian had a rough idea of ​​Xiang Lihua's injuries, but she couldn't help but ask, "Heavy Industry has always been repaired by Soviet experts. What happened this time?"

Teacher Guo shook his head and sighed, "Alas, everyone has left, and the government doesn't know what to do. You've opened two more classes for the next term, so I'm afraid you'll be even busier in the future."

It is good that I am not alone, but I am not as professional as the experts from the Soviet Union. The maintenance industry has become much more difficult.

It is now the beginning of 1970. Xiang Mianmian confirmed that the Soviet Union and China have officially become enemies. Historically, the Battle of Zhenbao Island took place in the beginning of 1969, but this time and space was delayed for half a year and broke out in the middle of 1969.

There were also Soviet experts who left the county before, but the conditions in the county were not very good, so it was normal for them to come and go, and no one took it seriously.

I heard that even the Soviet experts in Shanghai have been evacuated. I'm afraid the situation is quite serious.

I don’t know if the computer she sold to the country has been put to any use. She should record all the information given by Big Brother so that there won’t be any more situations where files need to be burned on rainy nights to save them.

Xiang Mianmian wandered off for a moment before replying to Teacher Guo: "Thank you, Teacher, for taking me there to broaden my horizons, but I want to come back with my mother when the time comes."

She told Teacher Guo that her mother and sister were receiving medical treatment in Shanghai, but she did not disclose the specific conditions of their illnesses.

Teacher Guo didn't ask any further questions. He didn't like to pursue gossip and was only interested in the repairs. He said that he would hand it over to her mother when the time came.

A 15-year-old student was taken to Shanghai for observation and study. If he was lost, wouldn’t he be finished?

Xiang Mianmian definitely agreed, as this was for her safety: "Teacher, are we going alone?"

"How can that be? There's also Teacher Wan and two boys from the next class. In our class, you and Qin Renmin are going together."

Studying in a group is fine.

After asking Mianmian and thanking the teacher for giving him this opportunity, he went home and told his family the news.

Wang Chunting paused while serving the soup. "Little sister, you're going alone? That's so unsafe."

Earlier this year, Zheng Hongtu molested a student, causing her to cut her wrists. The school's reputation as a teacher has been damaged, and the lawsuit is still ongoing.

He hasn't been sentenced in court yet, but his reputation has already been ruined.

Xiang Mianmian hurriedly explained that this was an observation and study organized by the school, with two teachers leading four students, and she was not the only one.

Xiang Liguo, who was feeding his son, breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, go ahead. Follow the teacher closely and don't fall behind. Wife, give some money to your youngest sister. It won't be wrong to be poor but rich."

Wang Chunting didn't say anything and went into the master bedroom to get the money.

Although Xiang Mianmian refused, saying that her mother was in Shanghai and that she would pay for the trip herself and that she didn't need any money, her sister-in-law still stuffed five large black stones into her hands.

"Hold it. There are always times when things don't work well on the road, and it's better to have it in an emergency than not at all."

Wang Chunting gave it very firmly and did not allow her sister-in-law to refuse at all. She gave it sincerely.

50 yuan is not a small amount of money. The combined monthly salary of a couple is not even that much.

If you deduct household and child-rearing expenses, it would take three months to save up this amount. The gold lock I bought for Xiang Youzhi a year ago was about the same price, so both of them hesitated for a long time.

But now he gave it directly to Xiang Mianmian, just to make the learning journey more comfortable.
