Chapter 322 Thoughts

"Yu'e, don't worry, the children know their limits." Lu Bo Ming didn't think there was anything wrong. It might not be a bad thing if the atmosphere became more relaxed.

Lu Bo Ming read the instruction manual, fiddled with it for a while, and found that he could indeed listen to the radio, and the effect was quite good. He tried putting it in his pocket, and it didn't affect his listening at all. It was indeed very convenient. He could take it with him to the fields and listen to it while working.

Since those people were controlled last year, the country has vigorously developed radio stations, and the signal in Lujia Village has also improved a lot. Now the radio programs are richer, and many families have also bought radios to listen to them in their spare time at night.

"Isn't this thing expensive?" Lu Bo Ming asked. Those big ones would cost forty or fifty yuan, and this small one would probably cost more than a hundred yuan.

"Not expensive! This thing was brought back from Hong Kong by my third sister-in-law. Guess how much it costs?" Lu Xiaolan asked mysteriously.

Liu Yuzhi worked in the supply and marketing cooperative and knew the price best. After the price of radio was reduced in 1974, it has been sold at 47.6 yuan per radio. Since Lu Xiaolan said it was not expensive, the price was estimated to be similar to those, so she asked tentatively: "Fifty?"

"No." Lu Xiaolan shook her head and held up three fingers.

"Three yuan?" Li Yue'e asked in surprise.

"Mom, what are you thinking! How can it be three yuan? It's thirty yuan."

"You are so arrogant, girl. Isn't thirty yuan expensive?"

"For a radio, thirty yuan is really not expensive. Ask my sister-in-law. Those big and heavy ones cost more than forty yuan. This one is small and can be carried with you. Thirty yuan can be said to be cheap." Lu Xiaolan explained.

It is said that laymen see the excitement, while experts see the doorway. When Lu Boying heard that this thing only cost thirty yuan, he frowned slightly.

If this thing flows into the country in large quantities, the radios produced in the country may not be sold. By then, the country may have to bear a lot of losses.

He just thought that it was not a bad thing to open up the atmosphere. But if foreign products are so cheap and easy to use, I am afraid that everyone will go to buy foreign products. Then, what will happen to our country's own factories?

After distributing the gifts, Lu Xiaolan talked to everyone about her experience in Tang City.

They had previously learned about the Tang City disaster through the radio and newspapers. But the media at that time was not developed. Not only was it lagging behind, but the censorship was also very strict. Many things were only reported in general terms.

They only knew that the disaster was serious and the country sent many people to provide disaster relief, but they didn't know the details.

Now, when listening to Lu Xiaolan, Li Yue'e and the others all had tears in their eyes.

Whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, the people are always the ones who suffer.

Fortunately, they now have the country to rely on, and they don't have to rely on themselves for everything. The country also has enough power to rescue and provide disaster relief so that the people will not be displaced.

The family chatted until after nine o'clock, and then they went to bed with a sense of unfulfilled desire. Now it's the autumn harvest, and I have to get up at 5:30 tomorrow to go to work. The work is tiring, so I have to rest early to have enough energy. After

lying back on the kang, Lu Xingjun's biggest feeling is that people really need to go out, and only by seeing the world can they become better.

Although Xiaolan was also talkative before, she mostly talked about the gossips of other people. Unlike now, when it comes to national affairs, she also talks freely. Moreover, her perspective on problems is not comparable to that of an ordinary woman. Even his elder brother is not as good as her.

For many things, he only understood why it was like this after she told him.

If Lu Xiaolan had stayed in Hongqi Commune, she would definitely not have such good fortune now.

"Go to the school to ask for leave tomorrow. During the time when Xiaolan is at home, let Fengqin go to school. Let her remember everything she doesn't understand, and she can make up for it while her aunt is at home." Lu Xingjun said to Liu Yuzhi.

Liu Yuzhi's eyes lit up when she heard it, "Okay, I'll go and ask for leave for her early tomorrow morning."

Because she had never paid much attention to studying before, Lu Fengqin's grades were actually very average. Although they were not top-notch, they were just average. If she doesn't work hard in the remaining three years, I'm afraid she won't be able to get into college.

Now that there is a college student at home, he must seize the opportunity to catch up and make up for the missed knowledge.

Lu Xingjun also has his own plans in mind. The matter of college entrance examination can be discussed later. For now, he must first get into high school. When he went to arrange accommodation for Lu Fengqin at the beginning of the school year, he asked the teacher. With her current grades, it is a bit uncertain for her to get into high school. As for

college, he did not force her to get into college, after all, it is very difficult to get into college. In their Hongqi Commune, there are about 10,000 people, but only about 20 people are admitted to college. Among them, 80% are educated youth from other places, and there are only a few locals. The reason

why Xiaolan's father was so happy that she was admitted to college was because Xiaolan was the only villager in Lujia Village who was admitted to college.

But, high school admission is a must.

As long as he finished high school, even if he didn't get into college, he would have the capital to ask the third brother to take Feng Qin to Yangcheng to see the world. He would not have to be like them, living in Qingxi County of Hongqi Commune all their lives with very limited horizons.

On the other hand, Lu Weiguo was thinking about the same problem as Lu Xingjun.

After seeing the changes in Lu Xiaolan, he was also surprised at the importance of going out to see the world.

He used to think that as long as he had enough food and drink for the children, raised them up, and found each of them a wife, his mission would be accomplished.

But now, he thinks he can do a little more. Perhaps, he should work hard to plan a better future for the children. So that they don't have to face the loess and work hard, be farmers all their lives, and cultivate the land all their lives.

His younger brother is a military officer and his younger sister is a college student. Everything is possible.
