The sound of firecrackers rang out densely, and my younger brother and sister also lit fireworks, creating a scene of fireworks and lights all night long.
After the purple was turned purple, Wan Feng and his father burned some paper incense to pay respect to heaven and earth, and then returned to the house to eat the New Year's Eve dinner.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, my father went out to play poker. I guess he played the kind where the bets start at ten cents and are three against one.
My younger brother and younger sister each carried a lantern and went out for a walk. Normally they would not come back until after two o'clock.
Wan Feng sat on the kang with his mother and chatted about their plans for the future after returning to Wa.
Zhang Xuan was still interrupting halfway through his sentences at first, but then he fell asleep on Wan Feng's shoulder like a wombat.
Wan Feng asked her to go back to her room to sleep, but she refused.
When it was past two o'clock, Wan Feng couldn't hold on any longer. It can be seen that staying up all night to welcome the New Year is really not suitable for young people.
Wan Feng carried Zhang Xuan back to the cabin, took off his coat, covered him with the quilt, and fell asleep.
The Spring Festival of 1985 passed in such an atmosphere.
On the morning of the first day of the New Year, Wan Feng was awakened by the voices of children wishing a happy new year.
In a daze, I felt something moving in my clothes. I slapped it and heard Zhang Xuan's laughter.
"Take your hands out of here! What are you fumbling around for so early in the morning?"
"I should go back tomorrow."
"Didn't you say you'd stay until the fourth day of the New Year?"
"I've been here for several days now and I'm a little homesick. Besides, it's New Year's Day and I can't do anything. It's boring to stay at your house any longer."
Wan Feng finally understood what this meant. So you came here just to sleep with me, and now that there are some things you can't do during the New Year, you feel bored?
Zhang Xuan chuckled: "You bad guy, what are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking wrong? Isn't that what it means?"
"You rascal! Today is the 20th. School starts in eight days. I have to go back and get ready."
"Won't it be postponed until after the 15th?"
"You wish! That's possible for elementary school students, but it's almost impossible for us."
"Indeed, there are still eight days until March 1st. It's time to get ready. I'll send you back tomorrow."
"Can you stay at my house for a few days?" Zhang Xuan made another excessive request.
Women cannot be spoiled. If you give her a ladder today, she will be ready to climb to the sky tomorrow.
"It's unlikely. We'll talk about it when the time comes."
The bus station was open to traffic on the first day of the New Year, and Wan Feng sent Zhang Xuan home on the second day.
The original plan was for Wan Feng to send Zhang Xuan home and then come back. He had already bought the return ticket, but He Yanxia dragged Wan Feng away and refused to let him go. His sister-in-law and brother-in-law even tried to stop him, so Wan Feng had no choice but to stay at Zhang Xuan's house for one night.
On February 27th, two days before school started, Wan Feng arrived at school early.
It wasn't really going to school, but rather getting off the bus at Chao Shui to visit Yu Guojia.
He wanted to use the time before school started to visit the homes of all the teachers and school leaders he needed to visit.
He can just leave school as he pleases. How can he be so free without some arrangements?
Wan Feng visited each of the home of the class teacher, the dean of studies, the principal and the vice principal. In addition to the normal gifts for visiting relatives, Wan Feng left 500 yuan when he left.
He would not be able to stay in school for many days this semester. After the opening ceremony, the first thing he had to do was to select a factory site in Sanfenchang, rent it, and clean it up to open a branch factory.
After school started, Wan Feng stayed at school for one day and then set off for Heihe and visited Qu Yang's home.
He needed to know the developments on the Sino-Soviet border at all times.
Qu Yang was indeed a man who could see the world clearly. He took out part of the money that Wan Feng gave him to settle down and used it through the back door.
Now he has become a celebrity in the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department.
He revealed to Wan Feng a piece of information that surprised Wan Feng greatly: Heihe was going to set up a foreign trade company.
He also asked what kind of organization Wanfeng Foreign Trade Company was, implying whether it had any profit.
After Heihe was returned from Tsarist Russia in 1906, Heihe, which was only a riverside village with only a few households at the time, began to trade with the Russians across the river. Later, the trade grew bigger and bigger, and the village here also grew bigger and bigger, and finally evolved into a large place second only to Aihui in this area.
After several years of development after liberation, Heihe finally developed, especially after Aihui was incorporated into a district of Heihe, Heihe's status as the center of northern Heijiang has become undisputed.
Originally, there were trading companies with the Soviet Union here. After the relationship between the two countries deteriorated and the port was closed, these foreign trade companies lost their value of existence. Some were closed down and some were transferred. The word "foreign trade" also disappeared in Heihe.
It is more appropriate to describe the establishment of foreign trade companies now as a recovery.
It was within Wan Feng's expectation that Heihe would become a foreign trade company, but he was a little surprised that it was established in 1985. Wasn't it a bit early?
Under normal circumstances, it should be established next year, and some trade with the Soviet Union would begin the year after.
But this happened a year earlier. Could it be that the Soviet Union could no longer hold on and was going to disintegrate early?
This shouldn't be possible, right? Even if his rebirth caused some minor deviations, such a world-shaking event shouldn't happen.
Wan Feng's advice to Qu Yang was of course to go into foreign trade. In the future, foreign trade would be the pillar industry of Heihe, a remote small city. If he did well, he might be able to get promoted.
Although there is room for improvement in the publicity department, Wan Feng believes that the chances of improvement are slim in a small place like Heihe.
In order to ensure that Qu Yang could go to foreign trade safely, Wan Feng threw down another 5,000 yuan before leaving.
This money was enough to open up some connections for him.
As long as Qu Yang can hold a position in foreign trade, even if he is not a leader, it will be beneficial for him to obtain the operating rights of some projects in the future. It would be even better if he could become a leader.
Of course, Wan Feng didn't expect Qu Yang to become the head of the foreign trade company that was about to be established.
After returning from Heihe, Wan Feng did not go to school again but went straight back to Sanfenchang and started planning to build a branch factory in Sanfenchang.
In fact, deep down Wan Feng didn't really support Zhang Xuan setting up a branch factory. The main factory might have to be sold to someone else in two years, but she still wanted to set up a branch factory.
In two years, Wan Feng's family will return to Beiliao. Can they leave Zhang Xuan behind?
But Zhang Xuan was interested in Wan Feng and didn't intend to object. He just thought she was doing it for fun. She couldn't lose any money anyway.
Even if he loses, he can afford it.
Before building the factory, he went to the 47th Company to look for someone.
The 47th Company is located to the east of the battalion headquarters, close to the Dongfang Brigade of Yanjiang Commune. There is a lonely hill here, and there is a small river at the foot of the hill. The 47th Company is located by the small river at the foot of the hill.
This was Wan Feng's first time coming to the 47th Company. He had never been here in his previous life, so when he walked into the 47th Company, he was completely in the dark and didn't recognize anyone.
But that’s not a problem, isn’t there a mouth under the nose?
