1978: Female educated youth, don’t want an illiterate husband

Chapter 309: Late bloomer, personally promoted the father-in-law
Faced with the suspicion and surprise of his father-in-law Feng and others, Cheng Xuemin did not explain too much, but only mentioned some opinions on earning foreign exchange.

After hearing this, Director Zhao and others from the Foreign Language Bureau looked even more shocked.

However, seeing that Cheng Xuemin had no intention of explaining in detail, and seeing the solemn expression on Mr. Wu's face just now, Old Zhao, Old Zhou and the others did not dare to ask any more questions.

Although the father-in-law, Mr. Feng, was anxious and nervous, he couldn't continue asking questions in public and could only wait for feedback from Mr. Wu.

So at noon, everyone had lunch in the department.

"Old Wu!"

They thought Mr. Wu would be back soon, but what Lao Zhao and the others didn't expect was that after lunch, they had to wait until after three o'clock before they saw Mr. Wu coming back.

Immediately afterwards, they all looked at Old Wu nervously, and the expression on the face of the father-in-law, Mr. Feng, was even more solemn and uneasy.

As for Cheng Xuemin, he was actually prepared for this. After all, he was already prepared when he wrote these materials and proposed them.

"Xuemin, Lao Chen has just reviewed the manuscript and opinions you wrote!"

After Mr. Wu entered the office, his expression remained solemn, especially the look he gave Cheng Xuemin, which was extremely complicated.

After being silent for a long time, he said this to Cheng Xuemin.

Have you seen it?!
What kind of attitude is that?

After Cheng Xuemin received feedback from Mr. Wu, how could he not be nervous? He immediately stared at Mr. Wu, waiting for his next words.

But Mr. Wu then hesitated and said, "How should I put it?"

“It’s a great idea and very courageous!”

"Of course, these are Lao Chen's own words!"

"As for the follow-up... we'll gather with Old Chen to discuss it further!"

"Xuemin, go back and wait for news!"

Old Wu was screaming in his heart, it's not just courage, they didn't see how shocked Old Chen was when Cheng Xuemin sent this manuscript over!

That is to say, young people, the ignorant are fearless.

Otherwise, a few years ago, the sky would have been broken.

"Mr. Wu, I just followed your instructions and wrote down some of my own ideas!" Cheng Xuemin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it. He did not give any specific feedback, which was the best signal.

And Mr. Wu has conveyed it. It’s a good idea and of course very courageous!

Isn’t it big!
Cheng Xuemin was just calculating the time and felt that it was about time to speed up in that direction, so he dared to write that way.

There is only one anyway, so just focus on that one outfit!

Pretending to be confused, pretending to be young, pretending to be ignorant and fearless, holding the token of Wu Lao’s cultural opening, he just rushed forward without thinking.

"Mr. Wu!?"

Cheng Xuemin pretended to be carefree, but the old father-in-law next to him was timid and could not stand such a scare. After hearing what Mr. Wu conveyed, he said that although his son-in-law had good ideas, he was still as bold as ever.

In an instant, he was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he looked at Mr. Wu with a trembling voice and asked in a trembling voice.

"You slippery bastard!"

When Mr. Wu heard what Cheng Xuemin said, his face suddenly became tense. He pointed at Cheng Xuemin with a wry smile and scolded him speechlessly, "You also heard it. Your son-in-law respected my instructions and wrote the manuscript!"

"So don't worry, I've got you covered. No matter what the outcome is, it won't be a big problem!"

"At worst, we can put Xuemin under house arrest and let him settle down at Yanda University and do some research!"

After hearing what Boss Wu said, his solemn expression did not relax much, because Boss Wu was preparing for the worst. So what kind of suggestions did his son-in-law write to that side?

As a result, Feng's father was worried all the way from Mr. Wu's office to the Foreign Language Bureau. He wanted to ask his son-in-law who was sitting next to him, but since Mr. Zhao and Mr. Zhou were there, he didn't ask much.

Old Zhao and Old Zhou were also nervous. They really didn't know that Old Feng, the son-in-law, actually went to Old Wu's place on a mission today.

I'm really afraid that I'll be framed by my son-in-law, Lao Feng, today.

So on the way back, apart from talking about some issues of foreign exchange earnings and manuscripts, they really didn't dare to ask a single word about anything else.

When I got back to the Foreign Languages ​​Bureau, it was almost time to get off work.

Cheng Xuemin waited there for a while and then went home with his father-in-law, Feng's father.

On the way, Feng's father remained calm and did not ask Cheng Xuemin anything. He just kept pedaling his bicycle silently without any communication.

Cheng Xuemin knew clearly that his father-in-law was holding back a big move and was going to wait until they got home to have a proper conversation.

"Dad, the place you were in before was in the Nanchang area, right?"

Thinking of his proposal to Mr. Wu, Cheng Xuemin felt something in his heart. Suddenly he remembered something and broke the silence and asked Feng's father.

"Yes, the newly built Yangzizhou Farm in Nanchang area!" Father Feng glanced at Cheng Xuemin with some surprise. He didn't understand why his son-in-law suddenly cared about this, so he replied casually.

"is it?"

"I heard from many teachers in our school that a group of teachers and students from the Nanchang branch will move back to the main campus in Yanjing this semester. It turns out that during this period, our Yanjing University also opened a branch in Nanchang?"

"Did they move there to escape the war during the Republic of China period?"

Cheng Xuemin went to Yenching University to cancel his leave two days ago and happened to hear this. He was surprised to find that Yenching University actually had a branch in Nanchang, Jiangxi.

It is said that starting from this semester, the branch school there will be closed and all teachers and students there will move back this semester.

Now the news spread throughout Yan University, and Cheng Xuemin also learned about it.

Yenching University actually has a branch in Nanchang, Jiangxi. When I think of the place where my father-in-law lived before, isn’t it Nanchang, Jiangxi?

I asked casually and reported the news to my father-in-law.

"YNU has a branch campus in Nanchang. Not only YNU, but also Huaqing University next door has a branch campus in Nanchang."

"It was not a branch school that was left there when people fled south and west to avoid the war during the Republic of China period. Rather, it was a branch school that was opened in Nanchang in response to the call of the workers and peasants' children, just like our intellectuals went to the countryside."

"Their school is right next to the Yangzizhou Farm. We are very close!"

“Are they going to move all back now too?”

When Mr. Feng heard the news, he was also surprised, but after thinking about it, he nodded and was no longer surprised.

These intellectuals who went down were all returned to the city one after another.

The teachers and students of the universities stationed there will certainly have the idea of ​​returning to the city or Beijing, and the report will certainly be taken seriously here.

It now seems that they are not being allowed to return to the city and their school in batches, but are being moved back all at once.

This is definitely a good thing for the teachers and students of Huaqing Yanda.

"Yes, I heard from our department head Lao Yang that the relocation work has already begun, and they should be able to return one after another when school starts at the end of the month!"

Cheng Xuemin was also surprised that there was not only a branch of Yenching University in Nanchang, but also a branch of Huaqing University? ?
Pity!
It is a huge loss for Nanchang that these two top universities were not retained!

Otherwise, even if any one of them is left, even if it is a branch, its future will be limitless.

Unfortunately, they didn't have the courage to keep their two branches.

Otherwise, if they were to spend a lot of money to keep HKUST like in southern Anhui, it would have taken off immediately. Of course!

These have nothing to do with Cheng Xuemin. He didn't mean to talk about these when he mentioned the relocation of the branch school.

Instead, he asked casually, "Dad, I heard that Old Chen that Mr. Wu mentioned today seems to be in Nanchang as well, right?"

"Yes, he is also from Nanchang!"

"It's Nanchang's Qingyunpu!"

Father Feng didn't think much about it. When he talked about this, he smiled and said, "And it's not just him..."

"Xuemin, why are you asking these questions suddenly?"

Originally, Feng's father was about to blurt out that he had worked together with not only teachers and students from the Yanda and Huaqing branches in Nanchang.

And follow!

However, he soon realized something was wrong, so he stopped talking and looked at his son-in-law Cheng Xuemin and asked.

"No, Dad, I just heard about this suddenly, and I'm just curious whether you have had any interactions or exchanges in Nanchang?"

Faced with Feng's father's caution, Cheng Xuemin knew that he wouldn't be able to ask many questions.

But they are in the same lower area and should have very close experience, so Feng's father's name should not be there without any mark on it.

So Cheng Xuemin just asked casually.

"Xuemin, don't think of taking shortcuts for some things. Let's talk about these when we get back!"

Father Feng also realized what his son-in-law wanted to say, so he stopped talking and his expression became serious again.

What can I say when I go back?

Cheng Xuemin knew that all the great development in the next 20 to 30 years would take place in the south.

And at the end of this year or the beginning of next spring, I will go south for the first time.

So you have to seize the opportunity!
It is a pity that Cheng Xuemin is still too young. Today, even Mr. Wu said that Cheng Xuemin should stay in the campus of Yanda University for a few years to settle down.

So Cheng Xuemin thought about it and decided that there might be no other suitable person in the family except Feng's father who wanted to get on the bus first and go south with the group.

My eldest brother-in-law Feng Jiazhao is just a teacher and writes some scripts by the way. The most important thing is that his current rank is too low.

Basically, you have caught up with this train, and the starting point will not be very high.

Maybe Cheng Xuemin could catch up with him with just a little effort as soon as he graduates from university, so he is not a good candidate.

As for my second uncle Feng Jiacheng, his current unit is the logistics headquarters. He follows the path of my third uncle Feng and his family doesn't have to worry about him.

Then there is my mother-in-law, Mrs. Feng, who is even more so. She is almost fifty and will retire in a few years.

After much thought, it was only my father-in-law, Mr. Feng, who was in his prime.

In his early fifties, he is at a decent level!
If you get on this train heading south, you will definitely be promoted to a higher level at the beginning and your future will definitely be promising.

Therefore, the Foreign Languages ​​Bureau is not a unit where one can just gain experience and wait for retirement.

Cheng Xuemin felt that his father-in-law could make several more steps forward. After all, he was only in his early fifties and had more than ten years of career ahead of him.

As long as you get on the car, you will definitely have a very big and thick leg in the future.

This is also the prospect that Cheng Xuemin has been secretly planning. He wants to have a father-in-law who is a late bloomer. With Cheng Xuemin, a good son-in-law, helping him to plan his progress, it is not impossible for him to become a minister in fifteen years.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Cheng Xuemin must first send his father-in-law to the south and let him make remarkable achievements there.

Half a year!

So after Cheng Xuemin had this consideration, he began to pave the way for his father-in-law in advance, and even specifically mentioned the things that happened to his father-in-law in Nanchang.

And because of this relationship, Cheng Xuemin felt that his father-in-law would be more likely to get on the train heading south than any other candidate.

"Dad, Xuemin is back!"

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, what's wrong? Why did you go away for the whole day?"

The father-in-law and son-in-law were silent, both returning home with heavy hearts. They must have been greeted by their eagerly awaited family members.

Especially my sister-in-law Feng Jiamo, who endured the torture from her sister and brother-in-law all night last night.

This morning, after her brother-in-law Cheng Xuemin left the house, she kept blaming her sister for doing bad things without making any noise.

Her sister Feng Jiayou was so embarrassed that her face turned red, and she wished she could find a hole to crawl into on the ground.

I had so much fun playing with her brother-in-law last night that I forgot about Feng Jiamo next door.

Then he tried to make up an excuse, saying that it was the transatlantic phone call last night that surprised and delighted them. This successfully diverted the girl's curiosity and told her what the transatlantic surprise was last night.

The sister-in-law Feng Jiamo then found out that the foreign song written by her brother-in-law had been on the New York music radio charts last night and even topped the new song list.

Her brother-in-law went to the unit with her father today to talk about the new foreign song. He said that he wanted to sell a lot of rice and gold to earn a lot of foreign exchange for the country.

Knowing this was the case, my sister-in-law Feng Jiamo waited anxiously for the whole day, wanting to know how much foreign exchange rice and gold she could sell.

Now that her brother-in-law has finally come back, how could she not ask with a passionate and expectant tone?

"Three hundred thousand MiGold, the contract has been entrusted to the staff in New York to sign today!"

Cheng Xuemin also told everyone the good news in a concise manner, instantly shocking everyone in the Feng family.

Three hundred thousand meters of gold, what does this mean?

"How much? Three hundred thousand MiGold?"

"Oh my god, Xuemin, am I dreaming?"

The Feng family was all shocked, not to mention Cheng Xuemin's mother. When she heard from her eldest son that a foreign song he wrote was sold for 300,000 Mijin worth of foreign currency, she was so frightened that she rolled her eyes and fainted on the spot.

Don't think that Cheng's mother, who came from the countryside in northern Shaanxi, knows nothing.

She was also listening to what her daughter-in-law Feng Jiayou and sister-in-law Feng Jiamo were talking about today, and asked a question out of curiosity.

I know more about what MiJin Foreign Exchange is.

This is foreign money that is more valuable than our domestic RMB and grain and meat coupons.

And they said that one meter of gold could be exchanged for two or three yuan of our money.

So how much rice can she earn when she grows up?
One hundred or two hundred?
Or one thousand or two thousand?
When she found out that the number was at least tens of thousands, Cheng's mother Qin Guilan was completely numb. She couldn't believe it and thought it was too much and impossible.

How is this possible?
How could a song in a foreign language, written casually by her when she was a little girl, be worth a millionaire?

Are you kidding me?
I don’t believe it, I dare not believe it. I will know when my son grows up and comes back.

But who knows!

As soon as her eldest son came back, he asked for 300,000 MiGold. Wouldn't this scare Mother Cheng to the point of fainting?
