Chapter 1 Lu Wenhao
June 30, 1997, late at night.
Lu Wenhao was a little unbelievable. It was actually in 1997 now.
The handover ceremony for Hong Kong's return was played in the dilapidated black and white TV in the room. The key point was not a replay, but a live broadcast.
This 14-inch wooden panda brand black and white TV is probably not necessarily available at the scrap purchase station. It is now placed openly on the table in the living room, and a towel is covered with a shell, which is obviously very caring.
Looking at the mottled white paint on the walls, a large piece of wall skin fell off when you touch it. This house is older than his age.
It was the two bedrooms and one living room assigned to his father Lu Zhenhua when he was promoted to a full-time cadre and served as the head of the Mechanical and Electrical Department. It seemed to be the first family building of cadres built in the 1960s.
Looking at the dim electric lights above his head, Lu Wenhao had to accept this reality, and he returned to 1997.
Looking back on his life, Lu Wenhao felt like he was riding a roller coaster.
He is the only son of Lu Zhenhua, chief engineer of Guangming Machinery Factory in Guangming City, Dongjiang Province, and is the first generation of only child born in the 1970s.
Lu Zhenhua named him Wen Hao with ardent expectations, hoping that he could be as good as his name and his talent could be as bright as the bright moon.
In the era of planned economy, the scarcity of materials is a shackle that is stuck on people's necks. With the birth of Lu Wenhaoyue, it has been even worse for this originally poor family.
What made Lu Zhenhua the most helpless was that Xu Rong was obviously healthy but she didn’t have milk.
In order to raise Lu Wenhao, Lu Zhenhua went to the back door for the first time to find Chen Junfeng, who was the director of Guangming Machinery Factory at the time, hoping to get the approval letter and buy milk powder.
This time, Lu Zhenhua was lucky in disguise. Chen Junfeng discovered for the first time that Lu Zhenhua, a taciturn technician, had a lot of goods in his stomach.
Chen Junfeng reused Lu Zhenhua and asked him to act as the work of Huang Ruihua, a mechanical engineer who had been on leave due to illness.
Lu Zhenhua has solid business skills and diligent work, and soon became competent for this new position. Chen Junfeng naturally promoted Lu Zhenhua from an acting engineer to a full-level cadre.
Lu Zhenhua always believed that his promotion was the blessing this son brought to him, so he sincerely loved Lu Wenhao.
In the era of shortage of supplies, Lu Zhenhua and Xu Rong always tried their best to get some meat for Lu Wenhao and supplement him with nutrition. Lu Wenhao was very happy in his childhood. He lived a life that his peers envied, and could eat white flour steamed buns and drink milk without restraint. Occasionally, he could also get chicken legs, eggs, ham, and canned beef.
However, good times did not last long.
Lu Wenhao started elementary school at the age of six, but he was naughty. The new book he had just published was torn off by Lu Wenhao and folded into small squares to play bunker games with other classmates.
Only then did Lu Zhenhua realize that something was wrong with Lu Wenhao's education.
In order to prevent Lu Wenhao from going further and further on the wrong path, Lu Zhenhua began to learn from the ancients - filial sons appearing under the stick.
Lu Zhenhua beat Lu Wenhao hard, making Lu Wenhao's mother Xu Rong's eyes burst into tears.
However, Lu Wenhao did not cry. Before he was seven years old, he had never even been beaten. Now he hated Lu Zhenhua to death and even killed Lu Zhenhua.
The relationship between father and son began to become tense. Lu Zhenhua asked Lu Wenhao to go east, but he went west. Even though he was beaten to pieces, Lu Wenhao was sure that Lu Zhenhua needed to support him in his old age and did not dare to beat him to death.
The war between Lu Wenhao and Lu Zhenhua began. Lu Zhenhua found that education had almost no effect on Lu Wenhao. He knew that Lu Wenhao was fooling him, and the purpose was to prevent him from being beaten in the future.
Lu Zhenhua decisively told Lu Wenhao not to go to school. Now Lu Wenhao is scared. Lu Zhenhua and Xu Rong both need work. He was locked up at home and was very lonely. Instead, he was better off playing with his classmates at school.
Although Lu Zhenhua took this approach and asked Lu Wenhao to go to school voluntarily, he still disciplined Lu Wenhao like this.
Lu Wenhao's grades at school were not good, so Lu Zhenhua came back and beat him up. When the teacher called him a parent, he was beaten up.
Being beaten became Lu Wenhao's daily routine in childhood. This not only did not defeat him, but instead allowed him to develop strong ability to resist hits.
When fighting with classmates, Lu Wenhao was very brave and was more ruthless than children of his age. As long as the children who fight with Lu Wenhao will be injured.
Lu Wenhao became the most troublesome child in Guangming Primary School. He was naughty and he was either distracted or sleeping in class, or talking and chatting with classmates.
At the same time, Lu Zhenhua's work went smoothly. He was promoted to a full-time cadre under the age of 30. He was in charge of the mechanical and electrical department work. The transformation from technology to management technology involved Lu Zhenhua's great energy. This also made Lu Zhenhua lose patience in the management of Lu Wenhao.
After Lu Wenhao fought with his classmates, Lu Zhenhua never asked for reasons and went back to beat him up.
In this case, Lu Wenhao usually fights with his classmates when he has no choice but to retreat. In Lu Wenhao's original words, he will be beaten home anyway, so it's better to be beaten first.
As for his academic performance, it was terrible.
Lu Wenhao is an extreme.
He likes to fight bravely, fight and fight, and likes to use sections and often hurts his classmates. Other students have textbooks, homework, and stationery in their schoolbags. He often has an extra brick in his schoolbags to be prepared for any eventuality.
When he was a teenager, Lu Wenhao was beaten countless times. The stick that was cut off by Lu Zhenhua could be cooked for a few days. However, Lu Wenhao was still the same Lu Wenhao, and he would never bow his head under Lu Zhenhua's stick.
Lu Wenhao changed mainly because of his fourth-year-old class teacher Ji Shunde. In Ji Shunde's words, he had taught for more than 20 years and had never met a student like Lu Wenhao. If Lu Wenhao could get into junior high school, he would write the three words Ji Shunde upside down.
It was because of Ji Shunde's words that Lu Wenhao completely changed. He began to study hard, and soon his academic performance caught up. Gradually, he became the top student in the class, and the key was good seedlings.
In the primary school to junior high school entrance exam, Lu Wenhao became the third place in the entire Guangming Factory primary school and was successfully admitted to Guangming No. 1 Junior High School. Lu Wenhao really took the admission letter to Ji Shunde with the admission letter.
Ji Shunde fulfilled his promise and wrote down the three words Ji Shunde upside down in front of Lu Wenhao. Lu Wenhao was satisfied, but it made Lu Zhenhua very angry.
Lu Zhenhua grabbed Lu Wenhao and beat him up.
During junior high school, Lu Wenhao also loved studying because learning could bring him certain benefits. For example, in order to copy Lu Wenhao's homework, they would flatter him in every way. Once Lu Wenhao had a fight, they would also help.
Lu Wenhao is the two extremes of Guangming No. 1 Junior High School. His academic performance is very good and is recognized by all teachers. Especially mathematics, physics and chemistry, the city is among the best in grades. However, he is a problem student. He not only joins gangs and fights, but also leads the entire junior high school students to strike and negotiate with the school to deal with the canteen hygiene problem. In the end, the school was under pressure and dismissed the relatives who contracted the canteen.
Lu Wenhao's first successful resistance was after he graduated from junior high school. Lu Zhenhua hoped that he would apply for a technical secondary school entrance examination, study at Guangming Vocational and Technical School for three years, and then be assigned to Guangming Machinery Factory to work.
However, after a hunger strike, Lu Wenhao looked for his grandfather Xu Mingshun and Lu Zhenhua's leader, and finally forced Lu Zhenhua to change his opinion. He successfully entered Guangming No. 1 High School.
When he was studying at Guangming High School, Lu Wenhao was like usual, he did not cause trouble and was absolutely not afraid of trouble. At Guangming High School, he became a celebrity in the school - the ruthless Lu Wenhao, don't mess with him.
As long as you provoke him, you will never end up dead.
Lu Wenhao, who never causes trouble, took the initiative to cause trouble for the first time because of Song Jialin.
Song Jialin is a class beauty in Guangming High School and is often harassed by young people in society and gangsters in the school. Song Jialin is frightened and dares not go home.
After Lu Wenhao learned of this situation, he stood up. He took several scientific names and swung bricks to fight with young people in society with a few students. Finally, passers-by called the police, and the police arrived and ended.
Song Jialin's feelings for Lu Wenhao became less simple under the interference of her mother.
In the view of Song's mother Li Songhua, Lu Wenhao has a good background and has a father who is the Minister of Guangming Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, and is an ideal son-in-law.
Song Jialin and Lu Wenhao got in love in high school.
On the table, there was a colorful seven-inch photo. The girl in the photo was wearing a plaid shirt, blue jeans, a ponytail, a melon-shaped face, big eyes and double eyelids, and the most important thing was that she had long legs.
Song Jialin has a model-like figure and an angelic face that makes people look at her and fall in love with her inadvertently. Since she fell in love with him, Song Jialin has never lacked suitors. In Guangming No. 1 High School, even if there is no company, there is a strengthening rank.
Lu Wenhao loves her and can do his best for her. In order to get rid of his father Lu Zhenhua's control, he studied hard. In the 1989 college entrance examination, he was the top scorer in science in Dongjiang Province and successfully admitted to Tsinghua University.
During his time at Tsinghua University, Lu Wenhao was the happiest day. Without Lu Zhenhua's stick discipline, Lu Wenhao finally realized what freedom is. In order to enjoy the opportunity to freedom for a long time, he participated in Stanford University's admissions and successfully obtained the qualification to study in the United States.
However, the Taoist is one foot taller and the devil is one foot taller. Lu Wenhao's plan was eventually killed by Lu Zhenhua's interference.
When Lu Zhenhua learned that Lu Wenhao wanted to study abroad, he tricked Lu Wenhao into solving some of the scholarships for studying abroad in the factory. Lu Wenhao vaguely knew that the benefits of state-owned enterprises were good, and he did not doubt it. He handed over the graduation certificate, ID card and other documents to Lu Zhenhua according to Lu Zhenhua's requirements.
However, Lu Zhenhua took advantage of this opportunity to handle the entry procedures for Lu Wenhao.
In fact, Lu Wenhao did not want to stay at Guangming Machinery Factory to work. Even if he didn’t have a diploma, he could bypass Lu Zhenhua and go to the school to apply for a diploma. Without an ID card, he could also find his grandfather Xu Mingshun, who was the director of the neighborhood committee at the time, to reissue it.
What made Lu Wenhao compromise with Lu Zhenhua was because of Song Jialin. After graduating from university, she was assigned to work in a textile factory in Guangming City.
But in 1993, the company went bankrupt and Song Jialin became unemployed.
Guangming Factory was well-managed and the benefits were very good. Song Jialin wanted to work in Guangming Machinery Factory, but Lu Wenhao could only ask Lu Zhenhua for help. In exchange, Lu Wenhao had to work in Guangming Machinery Factory, which was Lu Zhenhua's nose.
If he went abroad in 1993, Lu Wenhao would have entered general jobs like his classmate Liu Yang, after graduating from Stanford University, and became a technical director with an annual salary of one million US dollars.
In fact, people have more than once opportunities. Missing this opportunity to go abroad will have a great impact on Lu Wenhao, although it is not fatal.
After Lu Wenhao joined Guangming Factory, he started as an intern project. After half a year, he was transferred to a deputy section-level assistant engineer and worked as a deputy section-level assistant engineer for two years.
He became a full-time engineer in March 1995.
In the same year, Guangming Machinery Factory established the Huaguan No. 1 project department and began to develop fully automatic intelligent welding robots. As the only Tsinghua student in the factory, Lu Wenhao was transferred to the Huaguan No. 1 project, serving as the deputy commander-in-chief of the project, project engineer, and responsible for technical development.
He and Song Jialin started talking in high school. After eight years of long-distance love, it was time to talk about marriage. Now the only problem that restricts Lu Wenhao and Song Jialin from getting married is that they don’t have a house.
According to Lu Wenhao's level, Guangming Factory should be given a house. However, due to Guangming Machinery Factory's relatively backward technology and low production efficiency, the products in the factory are unsalable and have difficulty in operating, and they often cannot afford wages.
There are more people waiting for the factory to get married by splitting houses. There are more than 30 section-level cadres in front of Lu Wenhao. But the factory has no money and has not built a employee's family area for five or six years.
In order to marry Song Jialin, in July 1997, the project commander-in-chief Zhou Jingxian retired from illness. Lu Wenhao, who was the deputy commander-in-chief of the Huaguan No. 1 project in Guangming Factory, was the candidate who most hoped to become the project commander-in-chief.
He needs education and education, and skilled.
It was just because he wanted to marry Song Jialin, he made a deal with Fu Mingze. Fu Mingze gave the house that was originally divided into his three bedrooms and one living room and 92 square meters to Lu Wenhao, and Lu Wenhao withdrew from the battle of the commander-in-chief of Huaguan No. 1 project department.
Lu Wenhao got the house that he got what he wanted and successfully married Song Jialin, but this became the beginning of Lu Wenhao's tragedy.
Just as the song "Miss Dong" sang, I fell in love with a wild horse, but I don't have grasslands at home.
Lu Wenhao felt that he was in love with a wild horse, and his head was covered with grassland.
However, all his life was destroyed in her hands.
I have to say that this is a great irony.
In fact, Lu Wenhao had long discovered that Song Jialin had fallen in love with someone else, but he was stubborn and unwilling to believe it.
Now, he is back.
Then everything starts again.
