The noise in Yanjing City lasted for a long time. The women's volleyball team won the championship, and the citizens took to the streets to celebrate.
Such scenes not only appeared in Yanjing, but also appeared on the streets across the country.
That night, the whole of China was in a state of excitement!
On November 17, 1981, the day after the women's volleyball team won the championship, "People's Daily" published a report and commentary on the Chinese women's volleyball team's championship on its front page.
Sister Deng, who was the leader of the All-China Women's Federation at the time, published an article titled "All walks of life come to learn from the spirit of the women's volleyball team."
The article reads: "People from all walks of life must learn the spirit of the Chinese women's volleyball team, establish lofty aspirations, carry forward a down-to-earth, hard-working style, do their jobs well, and advance our socialist cause faster.
go ahead!"
Sister Deng's articles are very high-level, and the most important thing is that they meet the needs of the development of the times.
When the women's volleyball team won the world championship for the first time, China's economic construction had just gotten back on track and was in a state of crisis.
The tenacious fighting spirit and unity and cooperation displayed by these women's volleyball girls on the court gave Chinese society a strong spiritual power in the early days of reform and opening up.
After being tempered in the world arena, they no longer represent just a team. They carry too many dreams and complexes of the Chinese people, and also represent the spirit of unity and hard work and the will to make progress of the Chinese nation.
Therefore, after Sister Deng’s article was published, it quickly aroused a huge response from the whole society. It was widely disseminated by major media in just a few days and quickly formed a consensus in the whole society.
"Learning the spirit of the women's volleyball team" has become a hot word during meetings of various government agencies, state-owned factories, and public institutions this winter.
Let’s not mention the huge impact of the women’s volleyball team’s championship. On the night of the championship, everyone left until after eight o’clock in the evening, leaving two foreigners, Feng Jicai and Lu Yao, staying at Lin Chaoyang’s house.
Early the next morning, Feng Jicai went straight to the train station. His home was in Tianjin, so it was very convenient to come and go.
Lu Yao planned to go to the train station with him to buy a ticket first, and then return to China Youth Publishing House to pick up his luggage.
When Lin Chaoyang sent the two of them out, Lu Yao said hesitantly: "Chaoyang, if Yushu becomes an editor at "Yanjing Literature", I think I can leave my novel to her for publication."
Everyone was chatting yesterday, and Tao Yushu's work whereabouts were discussed for a while.
Lin Chaoyang realized that Lu Yao wanted to express his hospitality this time. He smiled generously and said: "Your novel has high hopes from the publishing house. The influence of "Yenjing Literature" is a little less. I think
You can publish it in Harvest or People's Literature."
Lu Yao shook his head and smiled, "It would be great if it could be published in "Yanjing Literature", I don't dare to hope."
"The rules at "People's Literature" are rather rigid. I can write a letter to Li Xiaolin from "Harvest" to recommend your novel."
Lu Yao's original intention was to help Tao Yushu with his work, but he didn't expect that he would be taken care of by Lin Chaoyang. "Why are you so embarrassed?"
"Are you sorry? I'm just recommending it. Whether or not you use it is up to the editorial department."
Lin Chaoyang's expression was relaxed and his attitude was sincere, which made Lu Yao grateful.
After saying goodbye again and again, Lin Chaoyang saw them off. While at work, he took the time to write a letter to Li Xiaolin recommending Lu Yao's "Life".
Today is the day after the women's volleyball team won the championship. The Yanda campus is extremely lively. Students had already celebrated last night. It is said that many departments and student groups are also holding celebrations today.
Students are always willing to participate in various activities. The students of Class 77 are about to graduate and are no longer active, but there are still newcomers.
A few days later, the school had just held a commendation meeting for outstanding students in the east playground, and the 1977 students from various departments were already preparing for their graduation.
That morning, when Lin Chaoyang was at work, Chen Jiangong came over and sent him an invitation.
Lin Chaoyang looked at the invitation in his hand and joked: "It's so exciting to take a graduation photo."
"Are all the teachers as busy as you are? They are busy, why can't they make an appointment in advance?"
The invitation in Lin Chaoyang's hand invited him to take a graduation group photo at the square inside the west school gate in two days. He then said, "Then why did you send me this?"
"You have taken so many classes in our Chinese Department, and you are considered one of us. Everyone says that you are the one who gets your graduation photo." Chen Jiangong explained.
Lin Chaoyang smiled and said: "It seems that this class is not in vain, I can be regarded as a non-staff member of your Chinese Department."
Two days later, the weather was cold, and Lin Chaoyang came to the inner square of the west gate of Yanda University as scheduled. At this time, many teachers and students had gathered in the square.
Lin Chaoyang greeted everyone familiarly, and Wu Zuxiang asked him, "What are you doing here?"
"I'll take pictures!"
Wu Zuxiang looked him up and down, "You? Taking pictures?"
"What's that look in your eyes? But you students from the Chinese Department invited me here."
"The students are just so polite, why are you here!"
Lao Deng!
After laughing and joking with Wu Zuxiang for a while, there were more and more people in the square. In addition to those who had studied abroad, students from the Chinese Department of Class 77 were also there, and many teachers from the Chinese Department were also here.
At least in Lin Chaoyang's view, this should be the most comprehensive gathering of teachers from the Chinese Department in his three years at Yan University.
The older generation of professors include Yang Hui, Wu Zuxiang, Wang Yao, Lin Geng, Peng Lan, Chen Yizhen and others, while the Mesozoic generation includes Hong Zicheng, Xie Mian, Sun Yushi and others, plus some young lecturers, let’s break down the list.
There are actually 34 teachers.
There were many people taking pictures, so they were divided into four rows. Those in the front row were all students from the Chinese Department sitting on the ground. The second row were all senior professors from the department, they were highly respected and each person had a stool to sit on.
In the third row are lecturers and a few female students. Everyone in this row is standing. The last row is all male students from the Chinese Department, with stools under their feet.
In winter, people wear heavy clothes, but it can also be seen that they have dressed up carefully for today's photo shoot.
Chen Jiangong was sitting in the first row. He wanted to pull Lin Chaoyang to sit next to him, but Lin Chaoyang shook him off.
If you sit on the ground and pull out your buttocks in the middle of winter, you'll have to run thin at night if you don't make trouble.
He squeezed in between Hong Zicheng and Xie Mian and stood in the third row. It was warm and protected from the front and back.
The formation process went on noisily for several minutes before it calmed down, and finally everyone took their positions.
Amid the shouts of the photographer, everyone held their breath and the picture was frozen. What was frozen in the picture together with the teachers and students of Grade 77 of the Department of Chinese Language and Literature of Yanda University were the statue of Mao Zedong and the green pines and cypresses behind them.
After taking the photo, many female students in the class had red eyes.
Obviously there is still a month left until graduation, but the atmosphere is still a bit sad under the background of the graduation photos.
In comparison, the male students seemed somewhat heartless and still laughed and laughed.
Of course, the most discussed matter is about graduation assignments. This important matter related to everyone's future and destiny has been the focus of students' attention for several months.
When all the teachers in the department arrived today, the students pestered the teachers to make excuses, but the teachers remained tight-lipped.
Seeing that the all-out attack was ineffective, the students thought for a while and decided to defeat them one by one. They dragged a few teachers who usually had a people-friendly style to the Long March Restaurant outside the school, euphemistically calling it a teacher appreciation banquet.
"This group of people, ask Yu Blind. Leave Director Yang here and don't ask, what are those people doing? Can they know?"
Lin Chaoyang looked at the backs of those people and said mockingly.
"You think they don't want to ask? You have to dare!" Hong Zicheng said.
Yang Hui has been the head of the Chinese Department of Yanda for more than 20 years and has accumulated a lot of prestige. It really takes courage to let these students come to talk to him.
The key is that the school and teachers will definitely not disclose the distribution results until graduation. If they dare to ask Yang Hui, they will inevitably be scolded.
You don't have to worry about finding those young and middle-aged teachers, and at worst it's just a waste of time.
After getting off work in the evening, when he returned to Mianmian Hui, it was already dark. As soon as Lin Chaoyang entered the hospital, he saw a few shadowy people in the main room.
When he got closer, two people came out of the main room. It turned out to be Du Feng and his girlfriend Feng Juan.
"Brother-in-law!"
"When did you come?" Lin Chaoyang asked.
"I just got here a while ago."
Entering the house, Lin Chaoyang saw a young man in the house who looked familiar. It took him two seconds to remember that he was a young man from the group that built the courtyard at the beginning of the year.
"Brother-in-law, this is Xiao Cao, whom you have met before." Du Feng introduced.
"Remember." Lin Chaoyang shook hands with Xiao Cao and asked, "What are you..."
"Don't mention it. The last time I went to Shenzhen to purchase goods, someone stole the Yanjing money as soon as I paid it.
Fortunately, I was prepared in advance and divided the money into two parts. However, I ran into a robber again on the bus and almost lost my life.
Not to mention I didn’t make a penny on that trip, I also pocketed more than 2,000 yuan.”
Speaking of his experience last month, Du Feng is still a little scared.
He started working as a dealer in September, and his two trips to Shenzhen went smoothly, earning him 10,000 yuan.
It only took more than two months to earn this ten thousand yuan. Considering the current prices and salary income, it can be said that I am making money every day.
Originally, Lin Chaoyang thought that this kid would have to be educated by the market one day, but he didn't expect that the person who educated him first would be the public security.
"If the money is gone, it's gone, as long as people are fine," Lin Chaoyang said.
"Lier is such a Lier, but it costs more than two thousand yuan!"
When Du Feng talked about the loss, his face was full of heartache. If he were still in the army, more than two thousand yuan would be enough for him to earn for seven or eight years without food or water.
"This man is unlucky, his teeth are blocked even when he drinks cold water." Du Feng sighed, and then said: "But the security situation in the past two years has indeed been a bit bad. I'm really afraid that I will end up on the road one day."
"That's not it..." Du Feng patted Xiao Cao's arm. "Xiao Cao is planning to retire from the army. He is very skilled. When I go to the south, he can take care of me on the way."
It turned out that he hired a bodyguard.
According to national policies, there is a resettlement policy for veterans.
Xiao Cao's family is from rural Shandong. According to the policy, he was able to return to his place of residence. The best outcome was that the army could arrange a state-owned unit for coordination.
However, this year is the year with the largest number of retired military veterans in recent years, with 1.41 million military veterans retired.
Coupled with the unfavorable economic development this year, many factories, mines, enterprises and institutions that were originally major resettlement households no longer need new employees.
The job can't be solved at all, and at most I can get a modest compensation.
At this time, Du Feng offered an olive branch to Xiao Cao, and Xiao Cao agreed without hesitation.
Compared with returning to my hometown to farm, staying in Yanjing, even without a formal job, is a better choice.
What's more, Du Feng's salary to Xiao Cao is not low. The monthly salary is one hundred yuan, and there is also a daily subsidy of two yuan for business trips, and there are benefits during the New Year.
Although it was not a serious job, the salary was much higher than what he earned in state-owned factories, so Xiao Cao was full of gratitude to Du Feng.
After listening to Du Feng talking for a long time, Tao Yushu came to invite them to dinner.
After eating, Du Feng left with Feng Juan and Xiao Cao.
After the three of them left, Lin Erchun exclaimed, "Chaoyang, how can you make so much money from speculation now?"
"Dad, I finally gave you something!" Lin Chaoyang couldn't help but complain.
Du Feng came here this time because he heard that Lin Erchun and his wife had come to Yanjing. He bought cigarettes, wine and other gifts to come and see them. Two bottles of cigarettes and two bottles of wine were worth at least twenty or thirty yuan.
Lin Erchun said: "I didn't scold him. I remember the favors given by others. What I asked was about making money."
"You also said it's just speculation. How can you not make money?"
Nowadays, despite the reform and opening up, self-employment and speculation are still treated differently. Du Feng's current business is definitely a speculation.
But now that the torrent of reform is unstoppable, he is not as stubborn about these things as before, and Du Feng has a stronger foothold, so there is less need to worry.
"People have taken risks, so it's not surprising to make some money."
"I didn't say I wasn't allowed to make money, but within two or three months I could make a household worth ten thousand yuan. This... is a money grab."
Lin Erchun felt frightened when he thought about it. He couldn't steal money so fast.
Lin Erchun's fuss was based on his values. Just as he did not fully understand the distribution of farmland to households, the speed of economic opening was also difficult for him to accept for a while.
"Think about me. I can earn several thousand yuan by writing a novel now, and others can earn 18,000 yuan by doing business." Lin Chaoyang said.
"Can that be the same? You are a writer, and the money you make is not only clean, but you are also respected."
"Dad, in the future, people who do business will be more respected, and everyone will call them entrepreneurs!"
Lin Erchun sneered when he heard this, "Everything can be a 'home'!"
Chapter completed!
