Chapter 441: The New Year



This year was celebrated in a lively and extravagant manner. In this special year, several children opened the door to a new world.

Except for the purple beans in Wang Xiaotao's stomach, the other children all had a deep impression in their minds.

Even after all these years, I still remember my aunt's house so clearly: the warm and beautiful house, the simmering pots, the popsicles in the middle of winter, the first cake I ever saw, and the chocolate you could only buy with a foreign exchange bill...

This was not all due to Qiu Yuling's efforts. Some of them were prepared in advance by Li Xingyao, such as chocolate and Shanghai snacks with cream. He went to great lengths to get them just because she mentioned it.

Making popsicles wasn't a big deal. Qiu Yuling used a mold, some juice, and placed them outside in the snow. After a nap, they were frozen solid when she woke up...

The children were happy, and the adults were no less so. At the beginning of the new year, they all looked forward to a new year and a new beginning, but they didn't know that this scene would become the last excitement of the year.

Then everyone encountered one misfortune after another.

As these misfortunes came one after another, not only was society in mourning, but the factory was also not as bustling as in previous years.

Qiu Yuling was also very low-key. Apart from the necessary work needs, she ordered Li Xingyao not to buy her those colorful leather shoes and clothes...

After the Spring Festival, after seeing her brothers off, Qiu Yuling immediately started to work on her plan to maintain her work.

Due to some special reasons, she adjusted this year's exports to use more to support domestic demand.

Everyone is still immersed in the thoughts and mourning for some people, and they understand and agree with Qiu Yuling's actions.

In fact, it's not just her. Even the Ministry of Foreign Trade's bilateral trade this year can only be described as "stabilized". It has only maintained a certain level of trade exchanges, and many tasks are not as enthusiastic as before.

But this year the academic atmosphere has become more relaxed. Qiu Yuling was also invited to the Party School and Night University to guest-lecture in two classes, focusing on analyzing the current trade situation.

Needless to say, the people at Zaohua Factory have always had a filter for their own factory director.

On the contrary, those cadres who were studying at the Party School had always felt that Qiu Yuling was elusive. However, this year, not only had the number of their meetings increased dramatically, but she could even speak eloquently on the podium.

"Students, I have consulted a large amount of information and public reports. Last year, the national fiscal revenue was approximately 81.561 billion yuan, mainly from corporate income, industrial and commercial taxes, and agricultural taxes.

Fiscal expenditure was approximately 82.088 billion yuan, mainly used for economic construction, national defense, education, medical care, social security and other aspects.

In other words, the economy has managed to maintain a certain momentum of development despite the difficult circumstances, and fiscal revenue and expenditure can basically meet the needs of national economic construction and social development...

However, economic development still faces many challenges and difficulties, and the task of economic restructuring and reform remains arduous..."

Qiu Yuling was good at data processing. Not only was her report directly included in the Party School, it was also used by some universities at the time and incorporated into the textbooks of the year...

After class, the brave ones gathered around first and said, "Teacher Qiu, could you please elaborate on the trade situation you just mentioned in class..."

“…”

The trade situation is affected by many factors, including production capacity, national economic foundation and industrial structure, but it is actually more affected by politics.

This is not something that Qiu Yuling can explain clearly in just a few words at the moment.

To put it bluntly, this aspect has never relied solely on knowledge. It must have a high degree of political sensitivity to grasp the key information.

Qiu Yuling only spoke the part she was supposed to speak. She avoided some relatively sensitive issues and those that would interfere with political orientation, and made a few abstruse remarks that avoided the important issues.

Facing a crowd of gazes that were either admiring or incredulous, he left leisurely.

Back in Minister Bai's office, Qiu Yuling said she was very nervous just now.

Minister Bai, oh no, everyone in school calls him Principal Bai. Principal Bai refilled her teacup with hot water and asked, "Xiao Qiu, have you ever thought about giving more classes, going into the classroom, and combining theory with practice..."

Principal Bai also mentioned Jiangcheng University. This school has not been greatly affected and his old friend has been working at the school. He plans to ask Qiu Yuling's opinion and recommend her there.

After a brief thought, Qiu Yuling readily agreed. She was only going to be a guest lecturer and was not allowed to be a permanent resident. According to what Principal Bai said, she would go for a month every semester and the concentrated teaching would not affect anything.

This is also a brand new experience and a different challenge for her. "I will plan my time well, but..."

Principal Bai knew her concerns and said, "This teaching time issue is not just because of you. Some courses are taught in a sequential manner. I also thought about this after listening to your class today and thinking about the difficulties we discussed with our old friend in correspondence a few years ago.

You don't have to worry about anything. It's just that the university is short of funds, so I'm afraid the salary won't be ideal. But don't worry, the travel expenses will definitely be reimbursed, and there are staff dormitories there for accommodation..."

This is not the most important thing. Travel expenses or salary are not the most important things to her.

After class, she packed up her books and stuffed them back into her bag. As soon as she walked out of the school gate, she saw Li Xingyao leaning outside.

"Didn't I tell you not to pick me up?" It's not like she would get lost. What a fool this guy is.

Li Xingyao skillfully took her schoolbag and said, "Mom and Dad are here to help today, so let's go out to eat alone. What do you want to eat? After dinner, I'll go to the musical with you."

As the weather got warmer, Li Qingmei and her husband took their grandmother back to their home in the countryside. They took care of the baby by themselves for the past two days.

Today is the weekend, and Sun Tianxia freed her hands and rushed over to take over. When Li Xingyao was giving her "technical guidance" for the umpteenth time, she took out a handful of bills from her pocket and stuffed them all into her son's hands.

"Take your wife out to relax. Don't worry, she is my granddaughter. Even if I have something to do, I won't let her get hurt. Besides, there is your father." Don't buzz in her ears anymore, it's almost ruining her good mood.

Li Hongyuan also actively contributed two pieces of private money, secretly giving them to him, under the pretext that they were a large group during the New Year and the expenses were high, and he was worried that he would have nothing left and would be short of money when he went out. "Keep it safe, don't let your mother find out..."

People like Li Xingyao in other families would have become the head of the family long ago. Maybe it was because he got married late, or maybe it was because he and his wife were the youngest in the family, which gave people the illusion that they would never grow up.

In short, they have always been thinking of ways to support the economic development of their small family.
