Another reply came from Gangcheng, and a gift was also sent with the letter.

The garment factory has always had dealings with that place, so Mr. Chen asked the transporter to deliver a letter and a box.

When Gu Chun returned home and opened the box, he found an all-in-one tape recorder inside!

Gu Chun remembered that this thing was not introduced until after the opening up, and most people still use ordinary radios.

In other words, it can only receive radio signals, but does not have the function of playing tape recordings or listening to tapes.

There were a few more tapes in the box.

The old man told Gu Chun that he knew she was still learning and praised her for her foresight.

He felt that the market would open up one day, and by then it would be important to learn a foreign language.

So he gave Gu Chun several boxes of original English tapes, as well as blank tapes for recording, so that she could use them to test her learning results.

The letter also said that he had received her photo and praised her whole family for being good-looking.

He also said that he would come to see them if he had the chance in the future.

Gu Chun put away the letter and looked at the tape recorder in disbelief.

The old man is worthy of being a big shot. He is ahead of the times and has now realized the importance of learning foreign languages.

That’s right. In the decades after the opening up, people who can speak foreign languages ​​have been in great demand.

In order to go abroad to watch fashion shows and communicate with designers in his later life, Gu Chun also improved his English.

This tape recorder can be used to let a few children learn secretly so that they can get a head start.

Gu Chun felt that he was no different from the parents in later generations who pushed their children to study too hard.

Little Zhuzi peeked out, "Sister, what is this?"

Gu Chun found a place to put the tape recorder. "This is a tape recorder. You can record and listen to the radio."

Xiao Zhuzi's eyes lit up, "I know, I know, Xiao Pang's house has one, we can listen to it with a small speaker."

Gu Chun knew that what Xiaopang had was a pocket radio, which reportedly cost more than ten yuan when he bought it, and was considered a big item in that era.

His grandmother showed off in the alley for several days.

Xiao Zhuzi and his group of friends would often go to his house to listen to the children's program "Little Trumpet" on the radio together.

That program is very unique because it starts with "Children, the little speaker is starting to broadcast."

As soon as they heard this, the children ran to Xiaopang's house to listen.

Gu Chun turned on the antenna, changed the channel, and found the small trumpet program.

Gu Dong also ran over when he heard it. The two siblings squatted there together, listening with shining eyes.

The little loudspeaker was telling the story of the Stone Monkey, and the children were fascinated by it.

There are not many entertainment options in this day and age, but there is a radio program that tells stories to children, and the children love it very much.

Gu Chun didn't care about them and let them listen to it by themselves, then went to write a reply to the old man.

She told him that she had received a tape recorder, that the children loved listening to the programs, and that she would make good use of it to learn foreign languages.

I hope I can have the opportunity to communicate with him in a foreign language in the future.

This tape recorder really worked. Gu Chun would always play the tape in the evening for everyone to listen to together.

The volume should be turned down because people cannot tell that they are learning English at this time.

Gu Qiu’s learning results were very good. She seemed to have a talent for languages ​​and she could imitate the spoken language in the tape after listening for a short while.

The accent is still very pure.

Gu Xia didn't have much interest, but he did learn a lot of foreign language knowledge.

-

The factory has introduced a new machine, and the technicians invited are going to explain the function of the machine.

Gu Chun, as the Propaganda Department Secretary, also needs to attend.

After that, you need to write a factory report.

In case she forgot any key points, she secretly brought a tape recorder to the meeting room.

I plan to secretly take the recording back after the meeting to listen to it and fill in the gaps.

Gu Chun felt that he was really smart.

Isn’t this just like taking photos and recording videos during classes in universities in later generations?

You can reopen it at any time to review what you have learned.

I got home, turned on the tape again, and started adding key points based on my notes.

After listening to the entire meeting, I was about to turn off the recorder when I heard:

"dad,……"

Why does this voice sound so familiar?

She continued to listen, and her expression became more and more strange.

Thinking about what she had said casually, she didn't expect that she had guessed the truth.

…

The next day, Director Liu came to see Gu Chun and looked very happy.

"Comrade Gu Chun, the factory now has a quota for recommending students to go to university, and I plan to let you go."

Gu Chun raised his eyebrows, but Director Liu, who was in high spirits, didn't notice and continued to chatter.

"Oh, you go to college, and you're a college student.

You can all become cadres after graduation, so go back and prepare yourself."

"Let me tell you, the information you need to prepare is..."

Gu Chun quickly interrupted, "Director, I don't plan to go to college. Please give this place to someone else."

Director Liu smiled and said, "You don't plan to go to college? That's fine. You need to get your household registration booklet when you go back..."

What? What did you say?

You're not going to college?"

Gu Chun nodded and said, "Well, Director, I won't go. Please recommend someone else. There are many colleagues who are better than me."

Director Liu looked serious.

"Why not? This is a great opportunity. You know how much your status as a college student will help you in your future, don't you?"

Gu Chun thanked him solemnly, "Director, thank you for always helping me like this.

But I really won't go to college this time. I have a three-year-old child to take care of at home, and if I go to college I won't be able to accompany Xiao Zhuzi."

I'm sorry, Xiao Zhuzi. In order not to make the old man sad, I can only use your name for now.
