"Jianguo, the day before yesterday I went to the county for a meeting and met Gao Wangshan, the director of the Red Star Machinery Factory. He asked me about you, so I asked about the situation." Zhang Aimin said.
"Director Gao is looking for me? What's the matter?" Xu Jianguo asked.
"He said he wanted you to help translate a set of blueprints. He didn't say what they were, and I didn't ask. But I didn't see he was in a hurry, so I promised him I'd call him after I met you."
"Okay, Secretary Zhang, please call Director Gao and I'll talk to him."
Zhang Aimin nodded, walked to his desk, picked up the phone, cranked the handle a few times, and said, "Hello, I want to connect you to Director Gao Wangshan of the Red Star Machinery Factory."
Xu Jianguo also stood up and walked over, standing aside and waiting quietly.
A moment later, a voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, I'm Gao Wangshan!"
"Lao Gao, I'm Zhang Aimin. Comrade Xu Jianguo is here with me now. He wants to talk to you." After Zhang Aimin finished speaking, he handed the receiver to Xu Jianguo.
"Hello, Director Gao, I'm Xu Jianguo." Xu Jianguo said.
"Xiao Xu, I finally found you! When are you free? Can you come to the factory?"
"I heard from Secretary Zhang that you need to translate a set of drawings?"
"Yes, it's a set of Sulian engine design drawings! This set of drawings was hard to come by. We found it under the bed in the dormitory of the Sulian experts when we were cleaning their rooms after they left."
"Director Gao, this is the case. We're busy with the autumn harvest right now, so I don't have time for you right now. If you're not in a hurry, I can come back to you after I'm done, okay?"
After Xu Jianguo finished speaking, Gao Wangshan did not speak, as if he was thinking. After a moment, his voice came from the receiver: "Um... Jianguo, please give the phone to Secretary Zhang."
"Okay, please wait."
Xu Jianguo handed the microphone to Zhang Aimin and told him that Gao Wangshan wanted to talk to him.
Zhang Aimin took the phone, talked to Gao Wangshan for a while, and then hung up.
"Old Zhao, it's like this..." Zhang Aimin called Zhao Weiguo and explained it to him. Xu Jianguo was listening next to him. It took him a while to understand.
After hearing what Zhang Aimin said, Zhao Weiguo walked out quickly.
It turned out that Gao Wangshan was asking Zhang Aimin for help on the phone just now. They reported the drawings to Mr. Zhou as soon as they found them. The old man also arranged for a translator to come from the provincial capital to the Red Star Machinery Factory to help with the translation. However, due to their low level of Goose Language and the influence of some uncommon professional vocabulary, the final draft translated by the two was full of errors.
Mr. Zhou was also helpless when he learned about this situation. There are very few translation talents in China at present, and their level is generally not high.
The old man was really at a loss, so he asked Gao Wangshan to find Xu Jianguo, hoping that he could complete the translation work as soon as possible.
Zhang Aimin also knew that the matter was urgent, so he planned to arrange for someone to go back to Sandaliang Village with Xu Jianguo to tell Li Mancang about the situation and also talk about the shelling and threshing of grain in their village.
After a while, Zhao Weiguo walked in with a young man and said to Xu Jianguo, "Jianguo, this is Ye Nan. He will go back to your village with you later!"
"Okay, Comrade Ye Nan, hello!" Xu Jianguo said and greeted Ye Nan.
Without wasting any time, Xu Jianguo held Funiu, said hello to Zhang Aimin and Zhao Weiguo, and left the commune with Ye Nan.
After returning to Sandaliang Village, Xu Jianguo took Ye Nan to the brigade headquarters and found Li Mancang who was busy.
Ye Nan went straight to the point and conveyed the commune leader's intentions to Li Mancang. Without staying any longer, he left Sandaliang Village.
"Jianguo, have you got the certificate back?" Li Mancang asked with a smile.
"I got it back!" Xu Jianguo said, and took out the neatly folded paper from his arms and handed it to Li Mancang.
After Li Mancang took it, he slowly unfolded the paper. The first thing that caught his eye was the two words "Certificate" at the top, followed by a red five-pointed star at the bottom.
"Comrade Xu Jianguo played a huge role in the operation against enemy spies in 1960. He has excellent work style and high morale. He is now awarded the title of Young Hero and this certificate is issued as an encouragement. Director of the Fu'an County Public Security Bureau, Lin Xiangdong, September 12, 1960." Li Mancang slowly read out the words on the certificate and smiled happily.
"Good boy, you did a good job and didn't bring shame to your parents!"
"Uncle, don't worry, I will continue to work hard!"
Li Mancang smiled and nodded, returned the certificate to Xu Jianguo, and asked, "What time do you leave tomorrow? Send Funiu home in the morning and let your aunt look after her."
Just as Xu Jianguo was about to speak, Funiu, who was squatting nearby playing with stones, spoke first: "Haha, can you take Funiu with you to the county town tomorrow?"
"Do you want to go to the county town?" Xu Jianguo asked.
"Well, haha, you said last time that you would take Funniu with you next time." Funniu said aggrievedly, as if she was very dissatisfied with Xu Jianguo for forgetting his promise.
Xu Jianguo thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's go to the county town together tomorrow."
When Funiu heard this, she immediately became happy. She grabbed Xu Jianguo's clothes and climbed into his arms. She put her little hands around his neck and gave him a big kiss.
Li Mancang said with some concern: "Jianguo, Funiu is still so young, can she do it?"
"Uncle, don't worry, it's okay."
"Huhu, don't worry, it's okay." Funiu also imitated Xu Jianguo's tone and made Li Mancang laugh.
