Chapter 120: Section Chief Yan became a high-ranking official after the college entrance examination.
A person who has never appeared is written as the first person among the researchers, which makes it difficult for people not to associate him with other things.
But the person did not show up, perhaps he was demoted and is not currently engaged in scientific research. The person who saved the trouble still asked about the situation in a tactful way.
Qi Fang's expression at that moment was beyond description. "Ten years ago, the teacher was wrongfully imprisoned for having detained Su, and he committed suicide in prison."
It easily took away all his language skills, making him feel that even the report in his hand had become extremely heavy.
Moreover, the main part of this important research was conducted ten years ago. Now, ten years later, no one has solved this problem that should have been solved ten years ago.
Those who wish to procrastinate have complicated feelings and feel even more sad for researchers like Su Changqing and for the stagnant progress of scientific research in recent years.
But there is still a big difference between the project leader and the first participant. He didn't know whether he could still apply to the scientific conference, so he could only take the report to discuss with others.
"You said this is Su Changqing's project?" Obviously someone in the factory knew Su Changqing. After hearing what he said, he took the report and took a look at it.
Seeing those three words on it, I felt a sense of emotion. "He's been dead for ten years, and I didn't expect to see his name on the report again."
"Is he very famous?" I asked this question when I met someone who seemed to know the situation and was in charge of this matter.
"He was one of the first Chinese students to study in the Soviet Union after the founding of the People's Republic of China. He also participated in the development of my country's first tractor and is considered an authority on hydraulic systems. Several components of the hydraulic system we use today were designed by him."
It seems that he is indeed very famous in his professional field, but unfortunately he still cannot escape. Those who are more famous and have made more contributions than him, have never escaped.
Everyone was silent. They had become accustomed to this silence over the years. Even after their shackles were removed, they would still subconsciously think three times over before speaking, fearing that something might go wrong and bring disaster upon themselves.
So no one talked about Su Changqing anymore, and no one mentioned his experience. As if they had agreed to do so, they turned the topic back to business.
"Putting aside other things, this kind of technological breakthrough and outstanding scientific research achievement is still worth reporting."
This national science conference, which will be held in the spring of next year, has been in preparation for some time. Advanced collectives, advanced scientific and technological workers and outstanding scientific research achievements will be selected at the conference.
The successful research and development of the hydrostatic system has undoubtedly promoted the development of domestic engineering machinery and agricultural machinery, and it will definitely be rated as an outstanding scientific research achievement.
What worries the provincial government is whether to report Qi Fang as an advanced science and technology worker. If he reports, the main part of the project was developed by Su Changqing; if he doesn't, the thing was completed by Qi Fang.
It's also because Qi Fang is a stubborn person. If it were someone else, since the person is already dead and died with a crime, they might just write their own name.
But he refused to do so and insisted on writing his teacher's name first, so that everyone who saw the report would know that it was developed by his teacher Su Changqing.
But it was precisely because he was so stubborn that he actually made these people, who had seen so much betrayal, feel more favorable towards him. Someone pondered for a moment, "Which parts of the film did he complete?"
"These are the newly designed components at the back." The person in charge of this matter had already asked Qi Fang about this, and upon hearing this, he quickly turned to those pages in the report.
"That's quite a lot, and he accomplished it on his own without any research funding or assistance, right?"
The scientific research environment has been very difficult in recent years, but it is so difficult that we have no funding and can only rely on ourselves. This is something we have never seen before.
That's why no one believed Qi Fang's invention of the hydrostatic system at first. Even now that we know that Su Changqing built the main structure, it's still unbelievable.
Several components are so ingeniously made that they not only reduce their number but also fit in perfectly with the system. It doesn't look like they were created overnight.
Apart from anything else, Su Changqing did indeed accept a good student, both in terms of character and ability.
After much deliberation, the provincial government finally decided to name Qi Fang an advanced scientific and technological worker, if for no other reason than his perseverance and hard work.
As for Su Changqing's matter, they had no other options. However, considering the country's emphasis on science and technology, these historical issues should be resolved sooner or later.
So the report was submitted without any modification, and only a note was added to the information for Qi Fang's application for advanced scientific researcher.
After Qi finished his business at the provincial drag station, Yan Xue packed up her things and returned home. Her belly was already showing, but it was not noticeable because she was wearing thick clothes.
Little Qi Yanyu already knew that there would be a new member in the family, and he changed his usual attitude of catching adulterers and was quite looking forward to it.
Children of this generation don't have much of a sense of being an only child. On the contrary, they are more likely to be bullied outside because if they have few brothers and sisters at home, a lot of people will come over if they shout at others to help them fight.
Qi Yanyu was a smart kid, so he wasn't bullied. However, everyone else had these things, but he didn't. It always felt like he was missing something compared to others.
Now that he had it, he immediately had a bold fantasy: he wanted a younger brother to play cars with him and a younger sister to call him brother.
It's a nice thought, but family planning will soon be strictly enforced, and he can only have one brother or sister.
This one was an unexpected event for the family. As the reform and opening up was approaching, there would be more and more family planning supplies, and it would become increasingly difficult to break through the defense line.
Fortunately, the child landed successfully before the storm came, and nestled comfortably in Yan Xue's belly, stretching his arms and legs from time to time.
But she didn't expect that before she went to the examination hall with her mother, she got promoted together with her mother.
At the end of September, the approval document came down and Changshan was officially established as a city, and several surrounding towns including Baisong County were included.
The Changshan County Forestry Bureau also rose in prominence and was suddenly promoted from a county bureau to a municipal bureau, becoming equal to the Jiangcheng Forestry Bureau, which was originally in charge of their jurisdiction.
This caught many people off guard, especially those who were not well-informed. After staring at the document for a long time, they suddenly exclaimed, "What a lucky guy Secretary Qu is!"
Even though Secretary Tang was promoted to the city level last year, he still couldn't become the top leader there. Instead, Qu Mingli is now in a higher position than him.
I wonder if Secretary Tang would regret his early promotion if he knew about it. It's not certain, though. Maybe Secretary Qu already knew about it and didn't promote him.
You know what, his background does seem to be quite deep. If it wasn't, he wouldn't have dared to confront the inspection team from above last year.
The County Forestry Bureau was suddenly upgraded to the Municipal Forestry Bureau. Although Yan Xue's position did not change, his rank was promoted to the section chief level.
He is only 26 years old and holds a section-level position, and a real position, not a director. Not to mention Changshan, there may not be many such people in the whole country.
In terms of rank alone, Yan Xue was already the same as Qu Mingli before Changshan was established. However, Qu Mingli had come down to hide from the limelight, and now that the limelight had passed, he would probably be promoted soon.
In the evening, Qi Fang went to pick up Yan Xue from get off work. He saw that the sign of the training center had been changed. He glanced at Yan Xue and said, "You have become a high-ranking official, Chief Yan."
In fact, the section chief is not a high-ranking official. If a sign falls from Yanjing, it can hit three people. Yan Xue listened, but remembered the joke she made when she decided to come up with the method of growing wood ear mushrooms.
Although she had made preparations long ago, she was indeed a little forced by the situation at the time. Unexpectedly, seven years later, she actually got herself a government position.
Yan Xue smiled, her beautiful eyebrows curved. "Just words? No actual gift?"
Qi Fangren was still sitting on his bicycle. He glanced at her and loosened his collar. "What gift do you want?"
As soon as he relaxed, the coldness in him was immediately replaced by something else, with an indescribable meaning.
Compared to eight years ago, when he wouldn't let her look at the mole on his collarbone, he's much better at it now, flirting seriously and even unconsciously.
Eight years have passed, and the youthfulness in the man's eyes and eyebrows has completely faded, but he looks even more charming.
It's just that the timing is not right. Yan Xue protected her stomach with her hands and said with regret: "Remember it first, I'll give it to you later."
Qi Fang also looked over as she moved, and said something ambiguous, "It's okay, you can prepay part of it first."
This advance payment reminded Yan Xue of something else. This man had become increasingly skilled in the past two years...
But it was broad daylight, so she quickly restrained herself, glared at the man, and got on her bike.
The bike rode out smoothly, and Qi Fang in front asked her again: "The brand has been changed, do we have to repaint the words on the bike as well?"
"Yeah." Yan Xue hugged his waist. "But don't worry. The center bought another Jiefang this year. It will arrive in a few days. Let's check it out together when it arrives."
Although some things happened last year, the sales of wood ear mushrooms were not affected, nor were the sales of central strains.
By the end of the year, they had recovered the cost of buying the car, and at the beginning of this year, orders exceeded 100,000 bottles for the first time. After a meeting at the center, they decided to buy another car.
First, we can completely take up the remaining market share in the province. Second, if there is spare capacity, we can also expand appropriately outside the province.
After all, things are different now. The governments are supporting us in developing the economy, and even in two years, we will usher in reform and opening up.
After rolling backwards for a decade, the wheel of time is finally moving forward at a rapid and unstoppable pace, and will continue to roll faster and faster.
A week later, the second Jiefang CA10 was delivered to the training center. Qi Fang picked up the brush again and painted his business card on it.
This time, "Changshan County, Jiangcheng City" became "Changshan City", a brand new beginning, and also like a brand new beginning.
With both vehicles deployed, the pressure on vehicles, which had been somewhat strained due to increased production, was immediately alleviated. Meanwhile, the trial planting of a new bacterial strain in Chengshui was also a resounding success.
Chengshui did not send over the detailed data until October, when all the ear trees had entered wintering management.
Not only are there data, but the technicians at the trial forest farm have also gained experience through planting over the past few years and have added some of their own observations.
The number of flowers produced by this hybrid variety created by Guo Changan is actually not much different from that of previous strains, but the flowers are larger and fleshier, so the yield will be higher.
In order to get more feedback, the wood ear mushrooms produced from these 1,000 bottles of fungus were not sold elsewhere, but were sold in the city’s vegetable and grocery stores and several supply and marketing cooperatives.
Yan Xue and the others went over to take a look when they had nothing to do, and asked the people who bought the fungus whether they thought it tasted good. So far, the feedback seems to be good, and Yan Xue is also more easily recognized.
Because the product is good and sells quickly, the vegetable and grocery store quickly ordered another batch. Unfortunately, Chengshui planted less this year and there was not enough to sell.
Along with the data came orders from Chengshui, and we wanted to replace all the strains for next year with this new variety.
If you want to switch to a new strain, you can't get the same price as before. This strain is a hybrid and is a bit more difficult to cultivate than ordinary strains.
Yan Xue lowered the price to 60 cents, and after discussing it with Chengshui, they actually agreed and ordered 15,000 bottles at once.
Among the towns that grow wood ear mushrooms, Chengshui's products have always been the best-selling. After all, it was Yan Xue who established the good reputation.
But no matter how good the reputation is, it must be supported by good products. If Chengshui makes poor products, the reputation accumulated in a few years will completely collapse.
So now that they knew there were good strains of bacteria, they had to be the first to try it out and once again widen the gap with other towns.
As long as they are the first to sell, even if it is only one year earlier than others, they can still rely on this advantage to push their already good reputation and sales further.
After signing the order and sending away the people from Chengshui, Yan Xue immediately called Guo Changan to analyze and discuss the detailed data.
After Yan Xue was promoted to manager and took more charge of the center's affairs, Guo Changan, a technician, was able to support the technical research and development of half of the center.
His achievements did not disappoint his efforts over the years. Yan Xue has already decided to nominate him as the first advanced individual after the city is established next year, and the center will nominate him.
First of all, Yan Xue has won it several times, so it doesn’t matter this time. Guo Changan’s research of this hybrid strain is enough for him to become an advanced individual.
Secondly, the college entrance examination is about to be resumed. Yan Xue wants to go to university, so she may not be working in the center or the bureau next year.
Although she has been running the business here for seven or eight years and is reluctant to leave, this should be the starting point of her life, not the end point set in her twenties.
Yan Xue must go out. Of course, even if she goes out, she will help the center and Changshan make the next plan.
Time passed day by day in this busyness and waiting, until late October, when newspapers, radio, and schools all announced that the country had resumed the college entrance examination.
After a ten-year hiatus and a long wait, the college entrance examination has finally been resumed today when many people have already decided that studying is useless, and no recommendation from an employer is required.
As long as I can get good grades, I can go to a good university and take a completely different path from what I have now.
After Yan Xue returned, she informed Yan Jigang. Unexpectedly, Yan Jigang reacted faster than she expected. He took a bus home that afternoon to get his high school textbooks.
The college entrance examination in 1977 was very rushed. The notice was given in late October and the exam was to start in less than a month, so there was not much time to review.
Fortunately, Yan Jigang just graduated from high school this year, and he has not forgotten what he learned. He has also always had good grades.
The boy's eyes lit up. "I heard there's a foreign language college in Yanjing that specializes in foreign languages. There are foreign teachers there. I want to try it."
He doesn't need anyone to tell him or persuade him, he knows what he likes and what path he wants to take.
This younger brother who once lived under Yan Xue's wings and accompanied Yan Xue through difficult times is finally about to spread his wings and fly into his own sky.
Yan Xue's eyes were filled with relief, and the second old lady was the same. She felt so soft-hearted when she saw the grandchildren in front of her who had no blood relationship with her.
She even held Yan Jigang's hand and said, "It's good to go to college, it's good to go to college. Our Yan family has never had a college graduate."
After all, my grandson-in-law’s surname is not Yan, so it doesn’t count. Even if he gets into university, it won’t be a great honor for the Yan family.
The old lady was just feeling happy when she heard Yan Xue say with a smile: "That's perfect. I also want to take the college entrance examination this year. Maybe I'll have two children by then."
The old lady immediately felt unwell and looked at her belly. "You are already over six months pregnant. Can you take the exam?"
Yan Jigang was also a little worried. "Is it too tiring? How about you wait and take the exam next year? It will be the same next year."
Qi Fang, on the other hand, was very calm. Seeing the second old lady looking at him, he tried to persuade her: "If she wants to take the exam, let her try. If she doesn't succeed, she can still take it next year."
Ever since Qi Fang asked Yan Xue and Yan Xue said it was time, he chose to trust her without saying a word, and a tacit understanding developed between the two.
Qi Fang didn't ask and Yan Xue didn't say, but occasionally Yan Xue would reveal something, such as when the college entrance examination was resumed this time, she started reviewing several months in advance.
How much Qi Fang could guess was Qi Fang's business. Yan Xue was open and honest, and instead felt an unprecedented sense of relief.
The second old lady saw that Qi Fang even made up an excuse for her seriously, "The work is not easy, she wants to learn more."
It's really bullying the old man because he can't read and can't understand. Moreover, these two sentences are both true when separated, but when put together, they have no connection at all...
Both her granddaughter and her grandson-in-law are capable people. The second old lady felt that she knew nothing, and when she saw that Qi Fang did not object, she did not say anything else.
It is inevitable that I have to pay more attention to Yan Xue's health, especially at night. I don't allow her to read too late, which will tire herself and the child.
Of course, even if the second old lady was not watching over her, there was still Teacher Qi, who also took time out every day to give Yan Xue special lessons.
While the brother and sister were reviewing in an orderly manner, Yan Xue also asked Zhou Wenhui to notify Liu Chunni at Jinchuan Forest Farm, fearing that they had not been notified enough.
Fortunately, Secretary Ning was quiet when he was a deputy, but he worked very carefully after becoming the secretary. He even broadcast the news several times using a loudspeaker to ensure that everyone in the forest farm knew about it.
Liu Chunni has discussed with her family and is preparing to apply to a normal school and continue to be a glorious people's teacher.
Registration officially began soon. Yan Xue and Yan Jigang had prepared all the materials and had also considered the colleges they wanted to apply to.
In fact, many people didn't know that the college entrance examination was resumed in 1977, and thought it was in 1978. Yan Xue knew it, but she didn't expect that this was the time to apply for admission before the exam.
You don’t report the scores after the exam is released, nor do you report the estimated scores after the answers are released. Instead, you have to fill it out before the exam.
Without any reference, you have to rely entirely on your estimation of your own grades, and a little bit of luck. The slightest mistake will lead to you missing out on college.
But there is no way around it. The college entrance examination has been suspended for ten years and the country is in urgent need of talents. This exam strives for efficiency, so naturally it will be conducted as quickly and conveniently as possible.
Yan Jigang didn't think twice and applied for the English Department of the School of Foreign Languages. After taking all five cultural courses, he had to take an additional foreign language test.
Yan Xue carefully considered it before applying to the Biology Department of Yan University.
After so many years of artificial cultivation of wood ear mushrooms, she has developed some interest in it and wants to see what else she can learn.
Of course, in her impression, the artificial cultivation of edible fungi should belong to the Agricultural University, but at that time the Agricultural University was still called the Agricultural Machinery College. As the name suggests, it mainly studies agricultural machinery.
At that time, the disciplines of various colleges and universities were very basic and not as finely divided as they were later. Even Tsinghua University, one of the two top universities that everyone aspired to, did not have a biology department at that time, which really surprised Yan Xue when she saw the admission brochure.
After the registration ended, the province quickly set the examination date at the end of November, becoming the first province in the country to hold the college entrance examination after its resumption.
The science exam venue was set at Changshan No. 1 Middle School. Yan Xue and Yan Jigang were both there, but they were assigned to different classes.
Two candidates had to go home at the same time, one of whom was pregnant. Even the people in the center felt worried and asked a driver to drive them there.
In fact, many people don’t understand why Yan Xue wants to take the college entrance examination. After all, the purpose of taking the college entrance examination is to find a job, and Yan Xue is not without a job.
Yan Xue only told the truth to those close to her, "Times are advancing, and so must we. Only by striving forward can we not be left behind by the times."
Just like these strains of bacteria, if nothing new is added, or even if they are cultivated from scratch, they will completely degenerate after a few generations and gradually be eliminated.
The environment will change, policies will change, and everything we know now may change. Only the skills we have learned will remain unchanged.
No matter whether others heard it or not, Yan Xue took her second child to the exam, and her first child and the father of both children went to see her off together.
It was quite unique, whether she entered the examination room with a big belly or was accompanied by her own son and his father.
If this happened in Yan Xue's previous life, any one of them would have been enough to become a hot topic. It's okay now, but a pregnant woman entering the examination room is still the focus of everyone's attention.
Yan Xue was stared at all the way she entered the exam. When her admission ticket was checked, even the invigilator looked at her several times.
She ignored other people's looks and as soon as the test paper was handed out, she put her whole heart into it.
After two lifetimes, she finally got her wish and sat in the college entrance examination room...
