So, the two of them started a leisurely life of dismantling electrical appliances, reading books, taking care of children, and growing vegetables.
Autumn passed and winter came, time flew by, and in a blink of an eye it was early January 1976.
In the past decade, Xiao Qinyun helped Professor Yan Mingyu to get his name rehabilitated, and Professor Yan Mingyu entered a machinery factory and became an engineer.
Xiao Qinyun invited Engineer Jiang and Engineer Yan to join his research.
With the concerted efforts of the three, after countless researches and half a day of working at the Yanjing Refrigerator Factory, Xiao Qinyun and his team finally developed a double-door refrigerator in August 1975, and a freezer with both refrigeration and freezing functions in December.
In the past month, Qiao Qinglu's review has basically been completed. Her scores in all subjects are above 90 points. Now she only needs to go to the space every day to watch audio-visual movies to train her ears and practice speaking.
Xiao Qinyun's studies were intermittent, and he had some weaknesses in certain subjects. He was good at mathematics, physics, and chemistry, but his Chinese and politics were a little weak, and he needed to fill in the gaps.
When Qiao Qinglu chatted with her sister-in-law, she mentioned that Guo Jia attached more and more importance to education, many professors had been rehabilitated, and it was estimated that the college entrance examination would be resumed in the next few days.
Under her suggestion, her sister-in-law brought Brother Qiao and her younger brother to join the army preparing for the exam.
In the past month, they have experienced sleeping in January, making noises in February, recognizing people in March, rolling over in April, teething in May, solid food in June, sitting in July, crawling in August, waiting for their parents in September and October, standing in November, and walking in December. The three babies have grown up. Their looks have inherited the advantages of their parents, but their personalities have their own strengths.
The eldest brother, Xiao Yishan, is steady, generous, honest and kind. He often plays with his little feet happily by himself and never competes with his younger brothers and sisters for toys and food.
The second child, Xiao Yize, is lively and active, and has a strong curiosity. Since he learned to crawl, he has been exploring new things every day, and the yard is almost too big to accommodate him.
My younger sister Xiao Yiyun is smart, gentle, and caring. She is never stingy with her smile and is like a sunflower, full of energy every day.
Now every morning, Qiao Qinglu, Aunt Qiu and Feng Yuan would push a cart and take a few children for a walk in the alley.
The three of them are very popular. Whenever they go out, they attract everyone's attention. The neighbors, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters all like them very much. People interact with each other more often, and the little kid also has playmates.
In the past decade, Wang Xiaoying got married and left Yanjing to return to her hometown. Miao Jinfeng's boyfriend got a promotion, so she also went to the south to join the army.
Aunt Qiu and her husband came to Yanjing with their two grandchildren and rented a house in a nearby slum. The children also paid tuition to go to school nearby, so they could reunite on weekends.
Feng Yuan and his three companions gradually integrated into the lives of Xiao Qinyun and his friends. Although they had cracked down on a group of traitors last time, Xiao Qinyun's side was not peaceful, especially the issue of the new refrigerator, which made the machinery factory popular again at the autumn trade fair.
Those who "are interested" only need to ask around to find out that rice cookers, refrigerators, and even freezers were all developed by Xiao Qinyun and his team, so now the security department of the machinery factory has a group of military personnel.
In the past, everyone has paid and reaped rewards. Now it is finally the year 1976, and many major events have taken place in this period.
In early January, the heart of a great man stopped beating, and the whole of China fell into great grief.
Although they had expected it, Xiao Qinyun and Qiao Qinglu couldn't help feeling sad when they received the news.
The two of them wore black clothes, held the baby, and went to the street with Aunt Qiu's family, Feng Yuan and others, and the neighbors.
Listening to the sobbing sounds around them, Xiao Qinyun and Qiao Qinglu felt very powerless at that moment. There were some people they couldn't keep, and some things they couldn't change, but there were some things they had to change.
Starting from February, Xiao Qinyun went to Heilongjiang once a month. He brought a bunch of anonymous letters and asked Brother Yong to find trustworthy brothers to send letters to Tianjin, Hebei Province, Shanxi Province, Inner Mongolia and other places, informing the relevant departments that there would be a major earthquake around Yanjing at the end of July.
Qiao Qinglu anonymously contributed articles to certain newspapers and magazines, sharing basic knowledge about earthquake precursors, such as how well water would change its taste, become turbid, or bubble; how snakes, fish, rats, and other animals and livestock of all sizes would have abnormal reactions such as fleeing, moving, or howling.
They didn't know if anyone would take this matter seriously, nor did they know if this matter would be traced back to them, but they couldn't just watch so many innocent people die.
Hard work pays off. Since April, major factories in Yanjing City have started conducting earthquake drills. I heard that Hebei Province, Shanxi Province, Inner Mongolia and Tianjin have also carried out drills. A well-known scientific newspaper also published the earthquake science article submitted by Qiao Qinglu.
Soon that day arrived, July 28th.
