Chapter 500: The Red Flag Remains (Final Chapter)



Zhang Hongcheng was very surprised by Chu Miaohong's arrival.

He didn't expect that his wife had done so many things behind his back - in order to meet the level to come to H County, Chu Miaohong, who had always been a peaceful person, deliberately showed off during the team's visit to southern Xinjiang for a performance.

Two extremely inspiring performances and more than 200 successful high-intensity surgical operations enabled Chu Miaohong to receive two first-class merits and meet the standards for upgrade on the front line.

Reunion after a long separation is naturally better than a new marriage.

Zhang Xian's willpower almost failed the test.

The county government has been running at a fast pace, and the tense situation has rarely been relaxed for a few days.

It's different from the slightly relaxed atmosphere in the county town.

In Zhengjiayu Village, which has been leveled, tables are neatly arranged on the cement ground next to the newly built railway tracks.

The neatly packed luggage piled up at the exit of the valley was so eye-catching that no one dared to take a second look.

Thousands of Railway Ministry soldiers sat at the table with their heads down, ignoring the sumptuous dishes on the table.

Everyone's hat brims were empty and their shoulders were devoid of epaulettes.

Everyone held the removed five-pointed stars and epaulettes tightly in their hands. Even the railway soldiers who had been injured repeatedly during daily construction and had never bent their backs in the face of ice, snow and scorching heat had red eyes filled with tears.

The wine glass raised by the head of the Ministry of Railways almost froze in the air.

The captain, who had not felt the taste of tears for decades, had a lump in his throat and was unable to speak.

"Comrades! Cheers!"

The Hongqi Guquanshan in the cup was drunk in one gulp.

Before, even Erguotou was only fit to be used as mouthwash for him. The spicy taste of this wine made him cry.

The entire valley was still dead silent, and everyone lowered their heads without even glancing at the wine glasses on the table.

"Bang~~."

The captain's wine glass was smashed to pieces, and he let out a heart-wrenching roar.

"Railway soldiers~~~~, all of them~~~~!"

Wow~~.

The sound of everyone standing up in unison suddenly resounded throughout the valley.

"Follow my orders~~, do it!!!"

Everyone grabbed the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, their throats choking. Today's wine was so hot that it made people feel painful.

"From today on, the designation Railway Corps will be gone, but comrades!"

The team leader shouted with red eyes.

"Whether we go to work in the Engineering Bureau of the Ministry of Railways or return home to be demobilized, we Railway Soldiers will always be here!!!"

The howling cries of wolves echoed throughout the valley.

The tough men's eyes were red and tears were flowing freely.

"At the foot of the Tianshan Mountains is my lovely hometown."

I don’t know who started howling first.

"When I left him, it was like a cantaloupe had its vine broken."

"Under the poplar tree lived the girl in my heart. When I parted with her, she was like a dodder hanging on the wall."

......

"Even if the vines are broken, the cantaloupe will still be sweet~~. When the musician returns, the dutar will sound again~~~."

"Ah~~~Ah~~~," the sobs mixed with the wails shook the valley, "When I said goodbye to my comrades forever~~~, it was like an avalanche rushing thousands of feet~~~."

The men hugged each other tightly, singing and crying.

On this day, the entrance of the H County Winery was crowded with military vehicles coming to pick up wine.

......

It was not until mid-September, when the last lonely figure carrying a marching bag embarked on his departure journey at H County Station, that H County became bustling again.

It's cotton harvest season.

In addition to the educated youth from the cotton reclamation company, Zhang Hongcheng also recruited a large number of people from all over the country.

The 20,000 acres of white cotton fields were bustling with people.

The joy of harvest is on everyone's face.

Before the mining, Minister Li was worried about the sales of cotton this year.

Because according to the information he found out from his friends, the national cotton production this year is estimated to increase by more than 20% compared with last year, and there is also news that the country will liberalize cotton supply at the end of the year, and cotton tickets will bid farewell to the stage of history.

In addition, under the influence of Zhang Hongcheng, a new generation of Xinhai No. 4 long-staple cotton appeared. Minister Li was afraid that the cotton in GH County would depreciate significantly.

Most cotton supply units, including the Xinsheng Corps, think so - because this year's cotton production has exceeded the target again.

According to the information obtained by Minister Li, many salesmen from cotton production units have already gone to the coastal areas with smiles on their faces and goods in their hands to build relationships with old customers.

The root of this strange phenomenon lies in an action taken by the higher-ups last year.

The planned purchase price of cotton had reached 153.1 yuan per 100 jin in 1980, and the over-purchase price that year was even as high as 199.03 yuan!

But last year, the authorities forcibly limited the purchase price to a single figure: 84.4 yuan per 100 jin.

If the higher-ups continue to do this this year, you'll have to build relationships with people if you want the purchasing unit to spend more.

Therefore, before the cotton pricing for this year was announced, the cotton producing units were all on edge.

But Zhang Hongcheng was surprisingly calm.

Because he knew from his adopted son in another time and space that this year - there is no price limit at all!

Moreover, according to information Zhang Hongcheng found out from his friends in Beijing, from the beginning of last year to the middle of this year, in order to solve employment and develop light industry, new textile factories were built all over the country.

Cotton textiles have officially developed from a supply system to a commercial system, so cotton prices can no longer be controlled by planning.

[Material 1: In 1983, China's total agricultural output value was 312.1 billion yuan, a 5% increase over the previous year, exceeding the planned 40% growth target. Excluding the output value of rural brigade-run industries, the output value was 36.8 billion yuan, a 7.9% increase over the previous year. Grain output was 387 million tons, a 20% increase over the previous year, and cotton was 4.637 million tons, a 28.9% increase over the previous year. Rural commodity production developed rapidly, accelerating the process of transformation from a self-sufficient or semi-self-sufficient economy to a large-scale commodity economy.]
