Last time, Su Ye went to the Gao family’s neighborhood to chat with Gao Anna’s neighbors.
It's true that the Gao family is not very good at talking. The Gao family has a younger uncle who has no job, is lazy and likes to show off. He often shows off the good things of the Gao family to his neighbors.
"Anna's job at No. 5 Middle School was arranged by a relative. That relative of mine has been very kind to our Gao family..."
Although this short sentence did not reveal much information, Su Ye was curious and went to check it out.
The recruitment test papers were previously archived in No. 1 Middle School, so Su Ye could check them easily. She looked through the written test papers. The second place Fang Zhou scored 38 points, Liu Qiu scored 36 points, and below them there was another technical secondary school student who scored 35 points and 34 points. At that time, Gao Anna scored 32 points.
Every applicant with a technical secondary school degree was admitted, and Gao Anna and the technical secondary school students who scored 35 points went to No. 8 Middle School together.
Su Ye, who scored 34 points, deliberately inquired about it, and the result was surprising. The 34-point student was transferred to No. 10 Middle School. Although No. 8 Middle School was a little behind No. 1 Middle School in terms of subsidies, it was still a provincial middle school after all. However, No. 10 Middle School was much worse... Not only was it not a provincial school, it also did not receive subsidies, it was just a middle school in a county town in City C!
Su Ye was shocked when he found out this information. Although he knew that there were many people who relied on connections and backdoors in this era, he didn't expect that someone would dare to act in public areas.
Although that comrade received the same salary, his future life trajectory would be completely different. Su Ye stopped after finding this subtle difference. He could figure out with a little effort that Gao Anna had gone to ask for help.
With the purpose of "resolving contradictions", Su Ye took the time to write an anonymous letter with his left hand.
Unless the needle pierces your own flesh, how can you know the pain of being reported
Su Ye has always been fair in dealing with issues. Before resolving her grievances with Comrade Gao, let her resolve the conflict as much as possible.
Su Ye was kind enough to give the initiative to Comrade Gao, and Comrade Gao was unwilling to repay evil with kindness and forgave Comrade Gao. If others themselves are unwilling to forgive Comrade Gao, then... Comrade Gao can only wish him the best.
Su Ye is not a good person who repays evil with kindness.
On the weekend, Su Ye dressed up in disguise and wandered to the vicinity of 34fen's house to deliver the letter to the mailbox.
At noon, Comrade Ye Ning, who scored "34" in the exam, happened to take the earliest bus from the county town back to his home in the city.
His wife complained to him: "You are so tanned, people who don't know would think you are being asked to do farm work! When will your No. 10 Middle School assign dormitories? It's not a good idea to keep asking you to run around. You should have followed me to work in the factory!"
His mother got angry when she mentioned this. "You are a married woman, but you were assigned to the county town, and you didn't even provide food and accommodation. You are so wronged, Lanhua. You need to do more housework for the next two days before you can leave!"
Comrade Ye Ning was so complained about that he dared not say a word. He casually took out the newspaper of the day from the mailbox, and a letter fell to the ground.
"Whose letter is this?"
Ye Ning unfolded the letter and read it quickly. He was stunned. He clenched his fists for a while, and then a feeling of ecstasy gripped his heart.
He looked up in surprise and said, "Mom, Lanhua, don't worry, I will try to transfer back this year!"
…
On Monday, Su Ye put on the Zhongshan suit that Gu Xiangqian had cut for her during the New Year, combed her hair into two braids, and dressed herself neatly and beautifully before taking the bus to the city hall.
Before going out, Gu Xiangqian had never seen Su Ye dressed so formally. Nowadays, most Zhongshan suits are gray, black, and blue. Gu Xiangqian wanted to cut a blue one for Su Ye, as blue is more suitable for female comrades and does not look so dull. But Su Ye refused to wear the blue one and reluctantly made a black Zhongshan suit.
Unexpectedly, Su Ye looked better in a black Zhongshan suit. Her smooth hair was black, shiny and glossy, and her pair of dark, bright eyes were the same color as the cotton cloth on her body. The clothes were well-tailored, and her rosy cheeks made her look lively and energetic.
This made Gu Xiangqian take a closer look. He asked, "What's going on today?"
Su Ye said: "I'm going to meet the leader and will be back soon. If everything goes well, we can have sausage tonight!"
Su Ye's sausages had been hung on the window of her home for more than a week, but she never ate them. Although she had been eating meat every other day during this period, the sausages at home seemed more attractive.
The red and white meat absorbed the essence of the sun, and as time passed, it gradually exuded a fragrance. Seeing Su Ye's cherishment, Gu Xiangqian thought that Su Ye would save it for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
I didn't expect that I could eat Chinese sausage tonight. Gu Xiangqian looked at Su Ye unexpectedly and wished her sincerely: "It will definitely go smoothly."
He helped Su Ye straighten his collar and hat brim.
"Don't panic when you meet your leader. Leaders are human beings too. Just speak louder."
Of course Su Ye understood this, but... Gu Qianqian reached out and meticulously helped her straighten her collar. His warm thumb lightly covered her skin. Su Ye couldn't help but tremble all over, and her mind was suddenly filled with dirty garbage.
Although they all ate coarse grain steamed bread and had no oil or water for a week, Gu Xiangqian was able to grow up to be as tall and straight as a young poplar. Others were pale and skinny, and malnourished.
I fed him more meat during this period, and he looked better and better. His body was smooth and shiny, his curves were straight, and even his abdominal muscles had grown a lot.
She grabbed Gu Xiangqian's hand and said, "Don't move. Can you let random people touch a girl's neck?"
Gu Xiangqian's serious face rarely showed a faint smile, "Stop joking, go ahead."
Su Ye took the bus to the city hall.
The first row was for the leaders, and the next few rows were for the advanced people nominated by schools, factories, and communes. Before coming to the meeting, Su Ye had inquired about the deeds of these provincial advanced people, and they were all genuine, so impressive that they inspired awe.
Nowadays, those who can be elected by the masses as advanced figures in the province are people who have done great things in a down-to-earth manner.
Su Ye, the fake who came to the government hall by virtue of time travel, seemed a little less "genuine" among the great gods. She took out her contact information from her pocket and greeted the advanced figures around her cordially.
This is a rare opportunity for outstanding talents in this era to communicate with each other!
The peasant activists elected by the commune were quite reserved at first, but after Su Ye chatted with them for a while, they grinned and said happily: "Comrade, I'm really surprised that you greeted me!"
Su Ye was dressed neatly, with a small red flower on her chest and black leather shoes on her feet. She looked like a well-off city comrade, but she was kind and modest, and did not look down on the rural cadres who came from the countryside. In comparison, the rural cadres were very ashamed.
The Zhongshan suits they wore might have been borrowed from relatives, the pens in their pockets were also borrowed to show their knowledge, the leather shoes they bought on the spur of the moment didn't quite fit, and they felt like their buttocks were being pricked by needles when they sat in the auditorium, unable to sit still for a moment.
Such a familiar city teacher suddenly made them feel relieved and eased the awkward atmosphere.
"If you have time, come to our village and I'll treat you to some hot tea. Our village has nothing but the fragrant tea!"
"Come on, come on, I will definitely come!" Su Ye said enthusiastically.
Su Ye also got the contact information of an advanced worker representative. After learning about his deeds, he began to flatter him loudly.
The worker comrade said modestly: "I am ashamed to say that I am not as good as Teacher Su. I heard that Teacher Su has helped the children who dropped out of school to go back to school, which is a great merit."
Su Ye kept expressing his shame, and after several rounds of pushing and pulling and flattering, he became familiar with the workers.
Su Ye said: "The management model of your factory is quite good. With a fair and honest leader like you, when my children graduate in the future, I will definitely recommend them to work in your factory."
The worker leader also replied: "You are most welcome. No. 1 Middle School is the best school in the province. I heard that your students are very smart!"
It was not until nine o'clock that the meeting to evaluate and commend outstanding individuals was officially held.
When it was Su Ye's turn to step forward, she gave an impromptu speech with a smile on her face, showing her eight teeth. With a small red flower on her chest and wearing a Zhongshan suit, she looked very photogenic.
“Good morning, distinguished leaders, distinguished guests and advanced comrades! I may not say much today, but what I say is from my heart. I want to issue a call for green environmental protection and resource conservation to all the people.
Our country is now in the primary stage of socialism, and the level of productivity is limited. It is very necessary for people to pay attention to diligence and thrift. However, diligence and thrift do not mean not using. We often ignore such garbage. If we can use science and technology, exert wisdom, and realize the secondary use of resources, we will create an astonishing wealth... "
After Su Ye finished his speech, there was warm applause from the audience.
She showed everyone the finished products made by herself and her classmates. The photos of hard technology products such as watches, radios, and projectors showed their original appearance: rusty and covered with dust, like discarded debris.
After being treated, they are as bright and clean as new, without any dust. If there were no obvious marks on the surface, it would give people the illusion that they are new.
This novel idea was very relevant to the current topic, and the reporters quickly pressed the shutter button to capture them without any hesitation.
After the conference ended, the leaders retained some advanced representatives, one of whom was Su Ye.
The leaders said: "Teacher Su's ideas are very novel and very relevant to the national conditions."
After Su Ye heard the leader's generous praise, she felt a sense of "finally here". Su Ye suddenly had an idea and changed the subject:
“It’s a pity that many people are not willing to accept my ideas. Some people think it is a restoration of capitalism… If I hadn’t had the opportunity to come here today and communicate with the leaders, I’m afraid I would just be thinking about it.”
She shook her head regretfully and said, "If I hadn't had money, how could I have let the children suffer!"
The leader of the prefectural committee seemed to understand Su Ye's deep meaning. He said kindly, "Teacher Su is following our socialist path. You can do it with confidence."
This one sentence determined the nature of the matter.
The big leader said this, and several other small leaders nodded: "This is indeed a problem, but we can't ignore that Teacher Su did ask the country to reduce the financial burden, and the conditions for matters related to education and children can be relaxed as appropriate."
The secretary of City C said: "How about this..."
After thinking deeply for a moment, the leader said, "Let the principal of your No. 1 Middle School set up a scholarship fund and accept spontaneous donations from students. In return, the government will allocate some subsidies to junior high school students."
Su Ye was overjoyed when he heard this. This was a complete unexpected surprise of today's trip.
Not only did they win the death-proof gold medal, they also received government subsidies. How could a temporary business be as stable as a full subsidy from the government? Government support is the long-term way to help students.
After Su Ye sent the leaders away one by one, she took out a few candies from her pocket and gave them to the journalists with a smile.
This kind of candy is a high-end fruit hard candy. It is sold at ten yuan per pound in department stores and is a high-end snack that people may not be willing to eat during festivals.
But what is money? Su Ye's wallet is now full, so he is not stingy with this little expense.
Su Ye emphasized to the reporter that several words of the leader must be recorded, and after reaching an agreement, she left the government hall with satisfaction.
Even if I don’t get any advanced awards, this trip is worth it!
…
night.
Su Ye hummed a song as she went to the canteen to buy a pound of spare ribs and added another fish when she saw that there was fish. She took two sausages from the shelf at the window and cut them diagonally into even slices.
As summer approached, the pea seedlings that Zhou Honghan's grandmother had been tinkering with in the vegetable garden began to bear tender crescent-shaped fruits; the tomatoes had produced a few small fruits, and she picked some tender peas and small tomatoes to give to Su Ye.
He Meimei picked some toon in the wild last weekend. The toon buds in late spring were not very tender, but she picked the top ones and gave the whole basket to Su Ye.
Su Ye fried some Chinese toon sprouts, and thought with regret that Chinese toon without scrambled eggs would be useless! It would be great if I could raise chickens so I could eat eggs every day. But raising chickens is impossible in this cramped and small building.
Su Ye cut the sauerkraut made in winter into strips, sliced the fish, and added chili peppers to make sauerkraut boiled fish.
She deftly brought out from the kitchen dishes such as stewed pork ribs with tomatoes, fried sausage with peas, boiled fish with sauerkraut, and fried Chinese toon, along with a large pot of white rice.
This was probably the most luxurious meal I had in the past six months, with fish and meat, one vegetable and two different kinds of vegetables. It was a perfect life.
After a while, Gu Xiangqian came back. He was stunned when he got home. Obviously, he didn't expect that the "sausage" that Su Ye promised during the day would turn out to be such a full table of dishes.
If Gu Xiangqian had not known that the order was not issued until the evening, he would probably have thought that Su Ye knew the news in advance.
He ate his meal attentively, chewing every bite carefully. The meal was filled with the taste of home.
The rice is fragrant and warm, and the feeling of a full stomach deeply moves this tough guy who has been sleeping in the wild for years.
After finishing the meal, Gu Xiangqian said, "I'm sorry, Su Ye, I've received an order to go to the southwest battlefield tomorrow. Wait for me to get your letter."
Su Ye was surprised for a moment when he heard the news. After living peacefully for a few months, Su Ye had gotten used to Gu Xiangqian's training in the army every day. He had never thought that he would go to the battlefield.
However, Su Ye soon remembered that Gu Qian had left, which made it convenient for her to do many things and she felt relieved.
It's just that he couldn't touch Gu Qian's beautiful body for a long time, and Su Ye felt a strong sense of reluctance.
However, love is precious, life is more precious, if it is for freedom, both can be abandoned. Su Ye immediately even balanced the reluctance.
She looked up and saw the expression of reluctance in Gu Xiangqian's eyes, and felt ashamed.
Su Ye propped up his chin, with a look of regret and reluctance on his face: "Go ahead, don't worry about home. I'll ask you to bring some meat when I'm free, don't be too frugal. You should pay attention to your own safety."
Gu Xiangqian had a very strong insight, so how could he not understand what Su Ye was thinking? He only felt a throbbing pain in his temple, and he touched Su Ye's head.
"Don't send any meat. There's not even a canteen there. Take care of yourself. I'll leave at five tomorrow."
Su Ye nodded and understood. The conditions at the border were so harsh that she didn't even need to send meat.
She was not too worried about Gu Xiangqian's safety, as he was confident that he would survive to the end unscathed.
But now she thought absentmindedly: What a pity, there is not even a farewell cannon. I guess she will miss it for a long time in the future, but it is not certain, Su Ye is very adaptable.
