Chapter 271: A Long Vacation
On the first day of the new year, Ye Mu got up early in the morning and just went downstairs, he saw Wu Nianshu busying around, and his three cousins were also being ordered around.
Except for Ye Zhishu who did not serve in the army, Ye Qianjun and Ye Hean were both soldiers. It was normal for the three of them to get up earlier than Ye Mu.
But looking at their clothes, Ye Mu knew that Ye Hean and Ye Qianjun had just finished morning exercise and were still wearing short sleeves.
When Mr. Ye saw them doing morning exercises in short sleeves in the cold winter, he praised them.
When Ye Mu went downstairs, Ye Wansheng came back from outside. His hair was still a little messy and there were snowflakes on his head. It seemed that it was snowing outside.
Ye Mu asked: "What are you busy with?"
I saw them packing up all their things and putting them aside, as if they were getting ready to leave after dinner.
Ye Wansheng handed the things he had just bought to Ye Zhishu and said to Ye Mu:
"Listen to what's on the radio."
On the table was Mr. Ye’s radio, which had just finished playing the previous message and was repeating the next one.
"According to the new regulations of the State Council, ancestor worship is another way to remember the past and history. Starting this year, the custom of ancestor worship will be restored. There will be no restrictions on tomb sweeping and ancestor worship during the New Year holidays or when returning home. However, you should pay attention to the following safety hazards. If you cause losses, you will be dealt with according to law..."
Ye Hean sat on the sofa and tapped the incense and paper he was going to use, both of which Ye Wansheng had just bought.
Looking at Ye Wansheng's expression, one could tell that there were many people buying these things at the supply and marketing cooperative today.
If you go too late you definitely won’t be able to buy it.
After hearing this, Ye Mu understood that they would probably go to worship their ancestors soon.
Ye Heshan and Yang Ying got up later, and when the two old people came downstairs it was time for dinner.
Now that there is a big family, breakfast is prepared by Ye Zhishu, Zhu Yuting and Wu Nianshu together.
Ye Wansheng was doing chores for them. Ye Mu wanted to help, but they really didn't need her, so Ye Mu asked Ye Zhishu about the foreign language textbooks, and Ye Zhishu actually had some.
Because many foreigners came to Sijiucheng at the end of last year, there were many more books on learning foreign languages in Sijiucheng, and Ye Zhishu bought them at that time.
When Ye Mu mentioned it, Ye Zhishu took it out, so Ye Mu spent the whole morning reading a foreign language learning book.
It was not until dinner time that he put the book down and went to the table.
Looking at the graying hair of his grandparents, Ye Mu talked to them about ancestor worship.
Mr. Ye also asked them if they wanted to go back to H Province to worship their ancestors and visit their graves. If necessary, he would let Ye Hean and others go with them before their New Year holiday was over.
Ye Heshan and Yang Ying both shook their heads and said:
"Our family's grave has been flattened. Even if I were to go there now, I wouldn't necessarily be able to find it."
After all, so many years have passed and a lot has changed.
Ye Zhishu said, "The radio said that it can be rebuilt and a place has been planned. Grandpa Ye, you guys should stay in Sijiu City to settle down. Why don't you rebuild the ancestral tomb in Sijiu City?"
Old Ye nodded: "That's right. There are only a few graves left in our family. There are no others."
After dinner, Ye Mu went out with them. When they were offering sacrifices to their ancestors, the tomb-sweeping and ancestor-offering procedures of this era were quite complicated.
If it weren't for the adults like Mr. Ye and Wu Nianshu directing them, Ye Mu would have thought that he was just going to burn some incense and that was it.
From her childhood memories, she didn't have many experiences of visiting graves. The rare thing was that the original owner was very young and didn't remember much, so she didn't quite understand.
Because of the sound of firecrackers, this New Year seems more lively.
On her way back to the city, as she passed through the streets in the car, she saw that the people on the street had a vibrant and optimistic look on their faces, which was completely different from the dull atmosphere when she first crossed through.
At the gate of the compound, they met Song Yanzhou's family. Ye Mu waved to Song Yanzhou, and Song Yanzhou came over.
He seemed to be in a good mood. He walked up to Ye Mu and said, "It snowed last night and it just stopped this morning. It will be even colder in two days. Wear more clothes."
Ye Mu walked beside him, looked at the bright sky, and said, "Are you in a good mood?"
Song Yanzhou hummed and said softly, "You probably don't know, but this year is the happiest, happiest and most relaxing New Year I've had in all these years."
"It's not just me who's in a good mood, it's everyone walking by on the street as well."
“I hope there will be streets like this and a New Year like this everywhere across the country.”
The world is filled with laughter and joy.
Ye Mu glanced at him sideways, it turned out that he was in such a good mood and had such an association.
This year’s New Year is a brand new year for many Xiazhou people, but it is also a long-awaited New Year.
Even foreigners in Xiazhou felt the joy of the Spring Festival. They have always loved having fun. Although the Spring Festival is not their holiday, since they are in Xiazhou, it is just right for them to celebrate the festival together.
At noon, Xiazhou State received New Year greetings from other foreign countries. Many foreign diplomats also sent New Year gifts to the Department of Foreign Affairs. After all, after the New Year, they still had to go to the Department of Foreign Affairs to have a good chat.
However, they didn't expect this moment to come so soon.
Around 2 p.m., after lunch, the Government Affairs Office and the F Province Research Institute jointly announced a piece of news.
——Global network.
A network that can connect computers all over the world. This news instantly shocked the country.
Although new computers are easy to use, things like the Internet are actually only used within the military and certain organizations.
But the new network announced now is completely different from the intranet used by their organization.
According to the explanations of the Government Affairs Office and the Research Institute, it can be said that the new network is for civilian use.
All computers that can connect to the Internet and receive signals were connected. People with computers tried it immediately and found that they could actually get in after entering the URL.
They cannot access the intranet of other organizations and the military. Some people bought this computer just because they thought it was something new. So, does it seem like they have a new gadget now?
Foreign diplomats stationed in Xia naturally also bought this computer, and after using it, they immediately informed their own countries of the news.
At this time, people who have computers are already chatting on this website.
In order to create a more intuitive effect, the F Province Research Institute eliminated the global network that Ye Mu and I initially looked at, and established a new website that allows people who enter the website to chat and post freely. This is used as an example to illustrate and explain the global network, and the network is completely announced to the public, making it a URL that can be used by the public.
When some people were chatting enthusiastically online, the diplomats went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs again. This time, the global network was announced, and the URL was one focus, but in their eyes there was another focus.
That is the F Province Research Institute mentioned in the report.
In addition to proposing technical exchanges with Xiazhou State, they have also been trying to find out Xiazhou State's new inventions, new technologies, etc., and who is in charge of the projects.
They had not received any information before and their people were also closely watched. Now, a clue was finally revealed. The diplomats quickly received instructions from their country and came to the Department of Foreign Affairs to find someone to ask details.
The Director of the Department of Foreign Affairs had already received notice from above and knew they would come. He was already prepared to bring people to practice Tai Chi with these diplomats.
The F Province Research Institute was deliberately exposed. After all, Comrade Ye Mu would not disappear forever.
The real information is still in their own hands. You only know as much as I want you to know. It is naturally impossible to ask for more.
Now is not the time to completely expose Ye Mu in front of them, but it is impossible to drive away the foreign envoys, so naturally they have to use Tai Chi.
The Director General of the Department of Foreign Affairs just said, "If you ask me, I don't know. I only follow the arrangements from above."
If you ask again about the arrangements, let me ask them first and wait for their reply.
I have the same attitude. It's not that I don't want to communicate with you in a friendly manner, but I don't know much.
So everyone who went to the Diplomatic Department returned empty-handed again. As soon as the diplomat from Country Y came out of the Diplomatic Department, he started talking a lot to the translator beside him:
"Their attitude on this matter is very clear. They won't say much, but the F Province Research Institute is definitely the one that developed computers. Let's go back first and see later."
"Oh, right, the Campbell family has obtained the business qualification of Xiazhou State. This is a good way. Let's go back and contact their people..."
If it doesn't work in politics, then maybe I can get more information indirectly in business. It's not core information, but it's better than coming to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and knowing nothing.
Ever since the emergence of new technologies such as computers, they have been feeling anxious all day long, and have to deal with people from Xiazhou Country every day when they come to the Department of Diplomacy.
I didn't get any news at all, and even if some information was revealed occasionally, it was so ambiguous that it was difficult to find the real goal and direction.
Once they find the researchers who invent and improve the products, they must poach them vigorously, preferably all of them.
But even if we can only dig out one or two, it will be enough.
In their opinion, a team that can develop such new technology must have at least thirty people.
Then they have to target and try to poach the core members of the team, otherwise it will be of no use.
Listening to the words of the diplomat from Country Y, the other diplomats were also wondering whether their countries had been approved to have entrepreneurs go to Xiazhou Country to develop business.
Some immediately went back to make contact, while those who didn’t went back and told them about this channel, so the next day they urged the Department of Foreign Affairs to conduct commercial review as soon as possible.
The Director of the Department of Foreign Affairs was speechless. This was something he really couldn't do. He could only say:
"This is not within the scope of our Diplomatic Department's work. We can only report your suggestions. I'm not sure if it can help."
During this New Year in Xiazhou, the diplomats felt that they were busier than the Xiazhou people who were visiting every household. Not only were they busy, they were also anxious.
It was Xiazhou country who suddenly dropped a bomb on them. Now they can't have fun with the people of Xiazhou country.
Song Yanzhou's New Year holiday ended before the Lantern Festival. Ye Mu did not go back to F Province with him, but stayed in Sijiu City to spend the Lantern Festival with his family before returning to F Province.
Ye Wansheng has also contacted Lin Dan and will leave Sijiu City after the Lantern Festival.
Ye Mu gave Ye Wansheng a passbook with 10,000 yuan of his savings. Ye Wansheng was reluctant to accept it at first, but after hearing Ye Mu say that it was a loan to him, he accepted it.
Ye Mu received a lot of bonuses, and Song Yanzhou also gave her a lot of salary, so she had quite a lot of money in her hands. When she left Sijiu City, she also left money for her parents to buy a house.
If you want to settle down in the old city, you naturally need money to buy a house.
Ye Jungui accepted it. He originally thought that he would have to borrow money from the Ye family. Since his daughter had such intention, he would of course prefer to accept Ye Mu's money.
He would wait until they were settled and then find a job. He was still young, so Ye Jungui regarded the money given by Ye Mu as a loan from his daughter.
Ye Hean and Ye Qianjun also left Sijiu City before the Lantern Festival and returned to their teams. Only Ye Zhishu remained at home.
Ye Mu asked Ye Zhishu to help him find a house for her parents. Ye Zhishu naturally agreed, and Ye Junqi and Wu Nianshu also helped to inquire.
Ye Mu returned to the research institute. Actually, there was not much work left. At most, she had to supplement some of the information from previous research. Her other main task was to read and check the results of her predecessors who had studied her technical summaries, learning textbooks and various experiments, and summarizing theorems and formulas, and then verify them with them to make sure that these contents were correct.
Ye Mu concealed some advanced knowledge in the past with the excuse that she succeeded after trying it and was not clear about the specific principles. Now, she did not judge whether it was right or wrong after just one look. Instead, when she found a problem, she would raise it. If she did not find a problem, she would go through the process honestly.
These will become learning materials for other researchers and textbooks for learning new technologies, so she cannot be careless. Similarly, she cannot leave any suspicious behavior behind.
Since you don't know it yourself, the best way is to verify it again.
As long as the conditions are reasonable and sufficient, practice is the only criterion for testing truth.
This is probably because she is joining the seniors who have studied these contents to rewrite the textbooks and books, so the workload is quite huge.
It’s because she came up with so many new things.
Fortunately, they have already laid the groundwork, so it wouldn't be too much trouble for Ye Mu to join at this time. She is not suitable to be a teacher, and doesn't know which content is indispensable, but everyone in this research group is good at this.
Gradually, Ye Mu figured out some tricks. It seemed that things that seemed completely unnecessary to her had to be written down, otherwise some people would not understand.
She tried to be as careful as possible in the follow-up work, and the progress was faster.
In mid-February, Ye Mu received a letter from home saying that they had bought a house and settled down.
It was also in the middle of this month that the Government Affairs Office brought up the work of the educated youth returning to the city and the resumption of the college entrance examination.
Ye Jungui and Zhu Yuting are both teachers. In the letter, they said that they were going to apply for jobs at schools in Beijing.
Seeing that they have made plans for the future, Ye Mu felt relieved.
In the past month, the military factory has also produced a batch of new intelligent computers. Ye Mu naturally took one, and then bought one for each of her family members in Sijiu City. She paid for it at the internal price. After all, this person is a researcher, and Zhong Guorong can't make money from her.
Ye Mu packed a box of smart computers and sent it to Ye Jungui with a letter.
In addition to theirs, there are also Wu Nianshu and others.
When the letter arrived, it was the end of February, and the production line of Zhinao had been completed in other national factories. The Government Affairs Office also announced a new type of telephone - Zhinao.
This time the F Province Research Institute was mentioned again, and the Department of Foreign Affairs became lively again.
Applications for business entry from abroad surged again overnight.
Some national government offices even called domestic government offices to express their hope that the two countries could have more business cooperation as soon as possible.
——It means that your country should speed up the business entry review and approve the applications of our country’s merchants.
The audit in Xiazhou State is not particularly strict. It mainly focuses on the credibility of merchants and enterprises, as well as some other reputations and behaviors, to prevent bad things from happening in the country.
In mid-March, Ye Mu, together with the research team, completely completed the compilation of dozens of thick teaching knowledge and materials, and then mentioned to He Jianqi that he wanted to leave Province F temporarily.
He Jianqi knew that she had no intention of researching military technology for the time being. After all, at the end of last year, she was either working on medicine or intelligent computers. Isn't that obvious?
So He Jianqi did not force him to stay and said:
"If it were any other researcher, they would definitely stay at the institute to continue their research and breakthroughs, but you have a flexible mind. Now that there is no progress in military technology, it would be a good idea to look at other fields. Maybe you will have another inspiration in military technology one day."
"You can go anywhere you want. Just give me the address when the time comes. I will prepare our military technical information for you regularly and give it to the soldiers around you. They will give it to you. You can't ignore it."
Ye Mu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Dean. I will definitely finish reading it. If I get any inspiration, I will write it down and draw it."
"Okay. I'll approve a long vacation for you." He Jianqi nodded, and immediately wrote a leave note to Ye Mu, asking her to take it and leave.
