Comrade Wang held a piece of paper in his hand and handed it to Su Aimin. "Comrade Su, this is a telegram from your family. The recipient is Qingyun. It was sent to our institute, so I brought it to you specially."
What? A telegram? Su Aimin was stunned again. What kind of emergency at home would require a telegram?
Could something have happened? Su Aimin was a little anxious and took it. "Thank you, let me take a look."
"Then I'll leave first." Comrade Wang nodded, and left after delivering the things.
"Ai Min, what is that?" Qin Ying asked.
Su Aimin walked in with a telegram, "A telegram from home."
Qin Ying was also stunned. "What's going on? Come and take a look."
Everything is fine at home, why would they send a telegram? Sending a telegram is not cheap. What's the big deal?
Su Qingyun also frowned.
Su Aimin unfolded the telegram and took a look at it. It only had a few words and he finished reading it in one glance.
After reading it, he looked speechless.
"What's on it, Dad?" Su Qingyun asked him.
"Read it yourself." Su Aimin handed her the telegram. "It's just a few words."
Su Qingyun took a look and saw that there were only five words on the telegram.
"What is the real return of the Cloud Award?"
The five words were short and sharp, the language was refined. If Su Qingyun didn't know the personalities of her family members, she really couldn't guess what they meant. Her grandmother was really frugal.
Is it true that Yunyun won the award? When will she be back?
Qin Ying also laughed after reading it. "It seems that my family knows about Yunyun's award and is asking when we will go back."
Su Aimin was a little confused. "How did they know? Did this news spread so quickly?"
They were still in the capital, and they only found out yesterday that in their Luoshui Village, not many people read newspapers. They had to go to the town to buy newspapers, and the town only had local newspapers. They had to go to the county to buy national newspapers like "People's Daily".
How did his family find out so quickly? Su Aimin was puzzled.
"Maybe the news got to the county, and someone went to the village to notify them," Qin Ying guessed, "just like when the city police went to my house to notify them last time."
Su Aimin shook his head. "No, if someone had informed my mother, she wouldn't have spent money to send a telegram to ask. They must not be so sure."
Su Qingyun thought for a moment and asked, "Dad, does anyone in our village have a radio?"
"Yes, you have some at Uncle Fu's house."
"He might have heard it from the radio, but he didn't hear it clearly, so he wasn't sure, so he sent a telegram to ask." Su Qingyun guessed.
Newspapers and radios are the two main channels for spreading news nowadays. Newspapers have geographical limitations, but radios do not. As long as the antenna can receive the signal, you can hear the news.
"That's possible." Su Aimin agreed with this guess.
Qin Ying: "Then go out and call home. They might be waiting for us. Also tell them the approximate time we'll be back."
"good."
Su Aimin turned around and walked out.
They guessed correctly. The family learned about Su Qingyun winning the award from Qin Youfu.
A day ago, at noon, Qin Youfu was eating at home.
He was used to turning on the radio while eating and listening to today's news to see what policies had been introduced or what major events had occurred.
As the captain of Luoshui Village, he is always aware of the importance of caring about the affairs of the country and the nation.
The radio was not cheap, and Qin Youfu bought it with great difficulty. He took good care of it and had to wipe it with a cloth every day. His wife, Aunt Guifen, even laughed at him for keeping a radio cleaner than himself.
"It's time for dinner." Aunt Guifen called him.
"Wait a minute, I'll fix the antenna of this radio. I can't hear clearly lately."
Aunt Guifen was speechless. "Is this something that Tianjian said? You bought that radio several years ago. It looks new on the outside, but it's been broken for a long time. I told you to take it to town to find someone to repair it, but you refused to listen."
Qin Youfu fiddled with the radio's antenna while saying, "Isn't it free to have someone fix it? If it costs a fortune, it might as well be used for a while and then get a new one."
"Okay, okay, okay. Anyway, whatever you say makes sense. You've spent all your salary as a team leader on this radio."
Qin Youfu ignored her and continued to fiddle with the antenna. Finally, there was some sound from the radio, but there was still some noisy interference, so it was barely audible.
He sat down at the table and listened while he ate.
Aunt Guifen grumbled to him, "The weather has been getting better recently. It rained a few times, and the crops in the fields are coming back to life."
"If we continue to do things the same way as before, we don't even know what our harvest will be like this year."
"Okay, it's all in the past, why are you still talking?" Qin Youfu said, "Lower your voice a little, I can't hear what's being said on the radio."
"Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen. You care so much about national affairs. You've been the captain for so many years, why haven't you been promoted?"
Qin Youfu glared at her. "When doing things, you can't just think about making profits for yourself, you have to think about making profits for everyone. You've been the captain's family member for so many years, how come you don't even have this much awareness?"
"Yes, yes, my consciousness is low, and your consciousness is higher than anyone else's."
Aunt Guifen curled her lips and said nothing more.
Qin Youfu continued to eat his meal, and casually picked up a piece of pickled radish and put it into his mouth. It tasted crispy, sour and spicy, and was perfect for stimulating the appetite during summer meals.
"Now, a news report. The 15th International Mathematics Competition, held at University College in Copthorne, England, concluded successfully at 10:00 AM local time on August 16, 1976. Our five-member team achieved outstanding results, beating out Country A and Country D to win the team championship!"
Qin Youfu put down his chopsticks as he listened. "What is this International Mathematical Competition?" It sounds familiar.
He pricked up his ears and listened carefully. Amidst the crackling sound of electricity, the voice from the radio continued to come.
"Among them, a 17-year-old sophomore from our national team, Su Qingyun, stood out, achieving perfect scores and winning first prize in the individual category! She also gave a speech at the end, earning unanimous applause from all the participating teams!"
Qin Youfu's mouth gradually opened wide, his eyes widening. He looked at his wife in disbelief, "Gui Fen, did you hear that just now?"
"What did you hear?" Aunt Guifen was stunned. She didn't pay any attention at all.
"Qingyun, I heard Qingyun's name!"
Qin Youfu's eyes lit up and he said loudly.
