Chapter 296
Jian Hui calculated the time accurately and returned to the county one day earlier than Yuan Jing. Before Yuan Jing came, he cleaned the cottage they rented, dried the quilts and sheets that needed to be dried, and washed what needed to be washed, and then waited for the arrival of the other owner.
Yuan Jing mentioned to Jian Hui that his father would definitely come to see him off on the first day of school, meaning Jian Hui should not show up. Jian Hui did not give up, and seeing that the time was almost up, he still went to wait outside the station. Sure enough, more than half an hour later, a father and son came out of the station. Yan Changjiang was walking in front, and Yuan Jing was the one walking behind, looking more relaxed. Yan Changjiang turned back from time to time and told Yuan Jing something.
Jian Hui could only watch silently, but Yuan Jing noticed his gaze and looked over, and the two of them greeted each other calmly.
"Brother Jing, if there is anything at school, please find a phone and call our village office. Someone in the village will help me and your father to answer the phone. Don't be afraid of trouble, okay?"
"Ah? Oh, I get it, Father, you don't have to worry." Yuan Jing hurriedly took a few quick steps, still glancing at Jian Hui from the corner of his eye. He saw that he made a gesture to him, asking him to go back to their cabin first and ask Yuan Jing to come over when he was free. Yuan Jing nodded to show that he understood.
Yan Changjiang noticed that his brother was a little distracted, and looked around sensitively, but found nothing. He suspected that he was overthinking. Where his father couldn't see, Yuan Jing reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, Jian Hui had already left.
Yan Changjiang sent him to school and settled him in the dormitory. Only then did he feel at ease to let Yuan Jing send him to the school gate, and then urged him to go back.
Yuan Jing stood there and watched his father leave, circling his feet, then decisively walked out of the school gate and headed towards the cottage rented by Jian Hui. The winter vacation between them, especially with the Spring Festival in between, made him miss his lover especially, so he couldn't wait to meet him.
When they arrived at the cabin and were about to knock on the door, the door opened from the inside, a hand reached out and pulled Yuan Jing in, and then the door slammed shut again.
After closing the door, Jian Hui pressed Yuan Jing against the door panel and kissed him. No matter how much he kissed, it was not enough, and he could not make up for the longing he had accumulated for the entire winter vacation. At the end of the kiss, both of them were hot all over, and they separated gasping for breath. They hugged each other for a long time without speaking, to calm their breath.
After suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Jian Hui raised his head from Yuan Jing's neck and looked at Yuan Jing happily: "You said I was going to rush out at the station, how would you introduce me to your father?"
Yuan Jing tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "Rogue?"
Jian Hui pretended to be angry and said, "How about I act like a gangster now and show you? I can't bear this crime for nothing."
Yuan Jing laughed and didn't worry about what he said would happen, otherwise he wouldn't have stopped just now. He grabbed his hand and walked into the house: "How is the result of staying there for a winter vacation? Is the factory open?"
Jian Hui also became serious: "We started work after the New Year. Thanks to the help of a noble man I met there, all the procedures were much simpler."
Jian Hui recounted how he met Wu Kaihua and his experience of visiting Wu Kaihua's home during the Spring Festival. Yuan Jing thought it was very normal. Nowadays, the order outside is much more chaotic than in later generations. If you take a walk around the station and the train, you will find thieves, robbers, and human traffickers. They are endless. With Jian Hui's current skills, he will definitely stop any injustice he encounters. Saving Wu Kaihua's child from the hands of human traffickers is definitely not the first thing he has encountered.
After hearing what Jian Hui said about the Wu family's background, Yuan Jing felt more at ease. With the Wu family as his backer, Jian Hui could be considered to have put down roots there.
The two talked about Jian Hui's new factory for a long time before Yuan Jing returned to school. As a high school student, especially a senior high school student, it was impossible for him to stay out all night.
This time Jian Hui stayed in the county for half a month, during which time he kept in touch with the factory in Haicheng and Wu Kaihua. His factory couldn't keep producing electronic watches. There was profit, but it wouldn't last long. He had to launch other products. This was also an idea he and Yuan Jing had had early on. During this time, Yuan Jing had also been paying attention to collecting data and information from all sides.
1983, no, it was already 1984. China was developing rapidly, but no matter how fast it was, it could not compare with the rapid development of foreign countries. In 1983 and 1984, many new electronic products appeared, such as game consoles, portable CD players, and the first pager call station opened in Shanghai.
Half a month later, Jian Hui returned to Haicheng with the technology provided by Yuan Jing. The first thing he did was to carry out drastic reforms on the factory. Electronic watches were still in production, but the first product launched by the electronics factory named Jinghui was a tape recorder. At that time, the streets were full of people carrying a dual-card tape recorder and playing music. It was such an eye-catching thing, and many of them were private goods brought in from outside.
With Yuan Jing around, the technical difficulties were not difficult to overcome, so the new production line was quickly put into operation. During this period, Jian Hui also borrowed some money from the bank through Wu Kaihua. Relying on his own capital, he could only do small things at present.
It was June, and the college entrance examination was getting closer. The countdown posted on the wall was less than a month away. On this day, a classmate walked into the classroom and immediately attracted the attention of others.
"Zhao Xinwei, is this the Walkman you mentioned? It came from abroad? Can you play it for us?"
Zhao Xinwei was from the best-off family among the students in Senior 3 (1) Class. It was said that he had relatives in Hong Kong, who brought him many good things that were not available in China but could be bought abroad. As for the new thing called Walkman, everyone just listened to it. Unexpectedly, Zhao Xinwei said that a relative had given him one, and he was currently wearing it on his belt and listening to music with headphones.
Seeing everyone's envious and curious eyes, Zhao Xinwei was also very proud. He took off his headphones and said, "Let me tell you, this is not imported from abroad, it is produced by our domestic factory. The factory is in Haicheng. The Walkmans in their factory are sold out as soon as they are produced."
"What brand is this Walkman?" We've all heard of Panasonic, Sony, etc. Are there also domestic ones?
"His name is Jinghui. A few days ago, a batch of tape recorders flowed into our county. They were Jinghui brand."
"It's really made in China, but can the quality be guaranteed?"
"Why can't you guarantee it? My cousin said that Jinghui's Walkman is of better quality than the foreign brands he has, and the price is cheaper. Of course we have to make less money from our own people, don't you think?"
"How much is this one?"
Zhao Xinwei mentioned a number, and several people were eager to buy it after hearing it. This price was not unaffordable. If they saved for a few months and put their heart into it, they could buy it. It was considered a big item these days.
Yuan Jing sat in his seat with his chin on his hand, watching. He didn't expect that he would be able to hear his classmates discussing Jinghui's products before graduating from high school. He said he was very happy. Who would have thought that the owner of Jinghui factory was an illiterate country boy at first.
The discussion over there was in full swing, Yuan Jing turned his attention away and opened the book in front of him. The college entrance examination was less than a month away, and he still found it quite fresh to experience it again.
When he went home for vacation again, the person who picked him up in the town was Yan Zhenguo again. Because he came to the town to do some business, he also took Yuan Jing home.
On the way, Yan Zhenguo asked Yuan Jing for advice, wanting him to make a decision for him. Yan Zhenguo knew that some rural people went to the south to work and earned more than the workers here. He was eager to try, but was afraid that the news was unreliable. However, Yuan Jing was a top student in their village and could definitely give some pertinent advice.
"Brother Zhenguo, do you want to go out and see the outside world?"
Yan Zhenguo nodded and said, "Yes, I heard that the outside world is developing very fast, and I don't want to stay in the countryside all my life, guarding a few acres of land."
"It's good for my father to rent a few acres of land to grow tea. The money he earns is no less than that of city workers." Yuan Jing felt that there was a way out for him to stay in the village.
Yan Zhenguo thought for a moment and said, "I still want to go out and take a look."
"Brother Zhenguo, when do you want to leave?" Yuan Jing didn't think it was a bad thing to want to leave the countryside. How could young people not yearn for new things outside? His father and father were both in Yanjia Village, so he also hoped that the people in Yanjia Village could live a good life.
The relationship with his uncle's family was already very bad, but if he could get along well with other families in the village, no one would say that it was Yan Changjiang's problem, but rather that it was Yan Changhai himself who had problems that led to the discord between brothers.
Yan Zhenguo smiled as he rode his bike, "We can go anytime, but thinking about it is one thing, and doing it is another. I want to ask a few people who have been out there to see if they have any connections."
Yuan Jing said, "Brother Zhenguo, do you believe me? I have a connection that I can introduce to you, but you have to keep it a secret. I know someone in a factory in Haicheng. You can work there as a worker or as a sales agent for the factory."
"Really?" Yan Zhenguo was so excited that he stopped his bike and turned to ask Yuan Jing who was sitting in the back, "Brother Jing, do you really know such a person?"
"Of course. When have I ever lied to Brother Zhenguo?"
"Hey, that's true. Does that mean I can go right away?"
"Yes, tell me when you are leaving, and I will give them a heads up in advance. Once the tickets are purchased, they will send someone to pick you up."
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you, Jing'er, after the decision is made. By the way, I know that I can't reveal your affairs for the time being, right? Hehe, I know everything." Yan Zhenguo thought to himself, if this news were to be leaked, many families in the village might come to Yuan Jing's house. Should Yuan Jing accept or refuse? If he wasn't Yuan Jing's cousin, he might not be able to get such good news from him.
After Yan Zhenguo finished singing, he rode his bicycle and rushed to the village quickly. He seemed to have endless energy and even with a person on his back, he arrived at Yanjia Village in less time than usual.
We will not talk about how Yan Zhenguo convinced his family when he returned. When Yuan Jing returned to school, Yan Zhenguo found his school, asked Yuan Jing for the address in Haicheng, and told Yuan Jing the seat number of the train ticket he bought. After Yan Zhenguo got on the train, Yuan Jing ran to the post office to call Jian Hui in Haicheng and told him about Yan Zhenguo's situation.
Jian Hui was very happy when he heard this. This was a good opportunity for him to make inroads into the Yan family. There was no way he would push anyone away. The person who was introduced to him by Yuan Jing must have good character. When he went to the Yan family to propose marriage in the future, with Yan Zhenguo's help, there might be fewer obstacles.
If Yuan Jing knew what Jian Hui was thinking, he would say that he was very far-sighted.
