Chapter 108
Qiao Wei specifically consulted the people in the Health Bureau about vaccines.
No, the people in the Health Bureau had never heard of any relevant vaccines, which meant that there really were no vaccines.
Qiao Wei vaguely remembered that in history, hepatitis did spread very badly in our country. Was that why vaccines were developed later?
Damn. That means that now is the time when "it is spreading very badly".
Damn.
But there was really nothing that could be done.
Under her suggestion, not only did the Health Bureau send people to conduct a comprehensive disinfection of the kindergarten, but Secretary Meng also arranged a physical examination for the town committee staff. The people in the kindergarten and the cafeteria were especially strict, and everything that could be checked in this era was checked.
Everyone had no complaints and was very supportive.
Because the facts this time were really close to endangering their children.
There was actually another reason why Teacher Zheng was arranged to go to the manure factory. It was that other units were really unwilling to accept a hepatitis patient.
Once infected, you will be discriminated against at school and work. Once others know about it, they will not eat with you or play with you. They will all go around you.
No one wants their children to have such a life.
Gangzi, the son of Captain Zhao, is 15 years old now. It is too embarrassing for him to continue to stay in elementary school.
Captain Zhao thinks that there is not much cultural knowledge in school now, so he wants to skip junior high school and send him directly to the technical secondary school in the county. The value of technical secondary schools at that time was very high.
But Gangzi couldn't stand it when he heard that he had to continue studying in the technical secondary school.
He really didn't want to read at all.
Not at all.
Finally, Captain Zhao was so angry that he went to Yan Lei for a drink.
Qiao Wei thought about it and suggested: "Either learn to drive or go to the technical school run by the factory."
The technical school is run by the factory to train technical workers.
Captain Zhao went back and asked Gangzi which one he wanted to choose, but Gangzi couldn't choose. Because being a worker is a good job as everyone knows, but driving a car is also enviable. It's too difficult to choose. Isn't this embarrassing?
Lin Xixi interrupted: "Don't choose driving."
With the development of social economy, the treatment and social status of driving skills have been reduced linearly. Taxi drivers used to be arrogant and picky about passengers. But it was only a few years. After the country developed, taxis soon became a mess.
The era when drivers picked passengers is gone forever.
When she mentioned that she was a driver, people no longer respected or envied her.
Captain Zhao said, "What do you know?"
Lin Xixi said, "Anyway, don't choose to be a driver."
But she didn't know whether being a skilled worker was a good choice.
Because they were not in the same city, she was not very clear about what her cousins did. She had her own family to worry about. She only knew that her uncle was an official, so at least he could arrange for her brothers and sisters to be stable, and they would not be like her husband who lost his job and had nothing to do.
Captain Zhao couldn't choose at first, so he simply said, "Draw lots."
He drew two lots, shook them in his palm for a long time, and just breathed into his paw several times, and finally drew the technical school.
Captain Zhao said, "Okay, let your aunt Qiao help arrange this."
Qiao Wei is now a capable subordinate of the top leader. She does not have any power in her position. However, because of the power and trust of the top leader, her trusted subordinates naturally gain some conveniences.
Secretary Huang can do a lot of things.
He is equivalent to the emperor's eunuch.
Qiao Wei does not have as much power as Secretary Huang, but it is no problem to arrange for Gangzi to enter the technical school.
"There are many departments, that is, types of work." She said to Gangzi, "Greet the director there, you can go there to try on the first day, see which one you are interested in, and then decide which type of work to learn."
Since the future path has been decided, Gangzi did not waste time in elementary school and went directly to the technical school.
The factory we were assigned to was located in the industrial area between Xiahekou District and the old county town. Now that the road is smooth, it only takes about ten minutes to get there by taking a short-distance bus. It is very convenient.
Gangzi might be a natural worker. He really gets a headache when he sees books, but when he came back from the first day of the technical school, he was full of excitement.
He likes the technical school.
He chose to learn welding.
In the crackling sparks, watching two separate pieces melt into one made his brain, which was always drowsy, feel particularly calm.
The scales welded by the master have a kind of beauty that fascinates him.
Team leader Zhao came to Qiao Wei's house with a thank-you gift.
Qiao Wei also thought his choice was good after hearing about it: "One trick can be used everywhere. This skill can be used in any industry. If you learn it normally, you can weld steel plates in the factory. If you learn it well, it is not impossible for you to weld airplanes in the future."
"I am afraid that the airplane he welds will fall down. Let's just weld steel plates." Captain Zhao smacked his lips, not having much confidence in his son.
Yan Lei laughed.
At this time, a package was sent from Beijing. It was quite heavy. It was sent to the army.
Yan Lei carried it home: "The things you want."
"Huh?" Qiao Wei was confused. "What?"
"The books you want." Yan Lei said, "I asked someone in Beijing to get so many for me."
Qiao Wei's eyes lit up.
After opening it, they were all related to mathematics, physics and chemistry, and there were science and technology magazines, which were not available in small counties. There are
even university textbooks.
The capital city is indeed different. The resources are different.
"Great." Qiao Wei was getting happier and happier. "You have to thank them."
Yan Lei said, "Don't worry about it."
This is Yan Lei's network of contacts. Qiao Wei doesn't need to worry about it. Yan Lei will handle it.
Yan Xiang has finished reading all the junior high school and high school textbooks.
Because there are many symbols involved, Qiao Wei also taught him the 26 letters of the English alphabet, as well as α, β, sin, cos and other related symbols.
He is now reading it over and over again. He
is very fascinated.
Yan Lei is also reading it.
Qiao Wei told him: "Mathematical formulas are not necessary. But if you understand physics and chemistry, you can have a basic understanding of the world. You should also understand biology."
Yan Lei thinks physics and chemistry are interesting.
It opened the door to a new world for him. For the first time, he understood the world from a different perspective, not just based on life experience.
Qiao Wei said: "After understanding these basic knowledge, the biggest benefit is to break feudal superstition. Everything in the world must have a scientific explanation, such as the ghost fire that appears in the cemetery in the middle of the night. In fact, it is the spontaneous combustion of phosphorus in the air. Look, it is explained clearly, and it is not scary at all."
Yan Lei said: "It really is."
Qiao Wei said: "If it can't be explained, it means that our scientific theory is not enough. Scientists have to continue to work hard."
Yan Lei laughed.
Yan Lei got a furniture ticket and went to Qingshan Town to buy a brand new and larger desk for Qiao Wei. The original desk was moved to the outer room of the east room, so that Yan Xiang also had his own study.
Yan Lei thought that he would draw a picture for Yan Xiang and learn some calligraphy.
He didn't expect that Yan Xiang spent most of his time reading books that he couldn't understand at all.
The books sent from Beijing were like treasures to Yan Xiang.
But there were also things Yan Xiang couldn't understand. He took the book to Qiao Wei and said, "Mom, I can't understand this."
He also said, "This is the same as the one in the textbook."
The book he took was sandwiched between many books, and Qiao Wei didn't open every one of them.
Only then did she open it and found that it was in a completely different language.
Russian.
After flipping through it again, there were many mathematical symbols. It should be a math book.
"Oh, it's Russian." Qiao Wei held her chin in embarrassment.
The textbooks that Qiao Wei asked the class teacher of the Second Factory Middle School to bring back included Russian textbooks.
Qiao Wei had never learned Russian, but her memory contained the memory of Qiao Weiwei learning Russian. It's very interesting. She inherited the memory and also the foreign language.
But when Yan Xiang came to her with Russian textbooks, she considered many factors such as the social situation and political trends, and did not let Yan Xiang learn Russian immediately.
With Yan Xiang's IQ, he can learn it when he needs it when he grows up.
But she didn't expect that Yan Lei's friends in Beijing could really get Russian things, and they looked very professional.
"Do you really want to read this book?" Qiao Wei asked.
Yan Xiang nodded.
There are many symbols learned in high school textbooks, but there are many more that he doesn't recognize. What does it mean? It means that this book covers more content than high school math textbooks.
He is very eager to learn.
[Fekhtingoltz's "Calculus Course". 】
【Single-variable and multivariable differential calculus, Riemann integration theory and series theory, multiple integration, curve integration, surface integration, Stiegs integration, Fourier series and Fourier transformation... The world has been different for me since then. 】 【
Even now, I still find it incredible when I think back. Because I live in a small town, at most my tracks extend to the county seat. The general education level of people is elementary school and junior high school, and technical secondary school students can already be assigned to good jobs, and their starting salary level is higher than others. 】
【In such an environment, my mother got me Fehkingoltz's "Calculus Tutorial". I am very sure that even she herself did not fully understand the status of this book in the mathematical world, let alone what kind of irrigation it was for me. She just irrigated me without reservation and with all her strength. 】
【She knew that I needed it. 】
【What always puzzled me was that as I grew older, she seemed unwilling to admit this. To admit that she understood me and knew what I needed. 】
【She kept trying to convince me that those books were obtained by my father with great effort for me. 】 【
But I know that in this matter, my father only met her requirements and carried out her instructions. My father was just the object, and she was the driver. 】
【Although it has always been puzzling, and now I can no longer get the answer. But it doesn't matter, it doesn't prevent me from realizing every moment...she loves her children. 】
【That's me. 】
【From then on, she began to teach me Russian, quietly. 】
【This is our little secret, we agreed not to tell anyone. 】
