Siheyuan's Journey Through the Ages

Chapter 8 Unscrupulous Plagiarism

Chapter 8 Unscrupulous Plagiarism

Ma Qing was in a good mood and couldn't help humming a line: "My motherland and I..." Ma Qing was stunned. This song hasn't been released yet. Should he be a plagiarist and make a politically correct amulet for himself?

Ma Qing, who was alone, actually lacked a sense of security at this time. In addition, in the next ten years or so, it was very necessary for him to make himself a famous and professional. He did it immediately. The passion that suddenly surged in his heart turned into a driving force. He quickly took out a pen and paper and wrote excitedly:

Me and my motherland,

Can't be separated for a moment,

Well, what comes next? Ma Qing then remembered that he was a king of out-of-tune singing in his previous life. Generally, he would remember the most memorable and most exciting sentences in a song, like "The five-star red flag is fluttering in the wind", "Above the moon, so many dreams are flying freely", "The sky is blue and waiting for the rain, and I am waiting for you". As for the complete song, he has never sung it completely.

Don't panic, don't rush, think slowly, Ma Qing encouraged himself, remember praising the mountains, rivers, villages, curling smoke, bicycle tracks on the road, his mother's something, and waves and so on.

No rush, no rush, I already have the outline, I don’t believe I can’t write it, Ma Qing tried hard to recall, and with the help of the improved intelligence after the time travel, he wrote the draft while recalling, “This can also be considered my creation,” someone thought shamelessly, and the guilt and shame brought by plagiarism were swept away.

Humans are truly chosen creatures. Their miraculous cerebral cortex can always justify any of their actions, allowing people to live with a clear conscience.

While Ma Qing was arguing over the lyrics, three uncles came to the central courtyard, and the third uncle blamed Yi Zhonghai.

"Why are you pulling me? I haven't finished my words yet. Ma Qing's family has two workstations. He graduated this year. If he gets admitted to a technical secondary school or goes to high school, that workstation will be vacant. I reserved it first to avoid being taken by someone else. Why don't you let me speak?"

"You are so concerned that you are confused. You are such a smart person, how come you can't figure out such a small thing?" Yi Zhonghai did not answer, but turned to ask Liu Haizhong: "Will your Guangqi graduate next year? Can he be assigned to our steel rolling mill then?"

Liu Haizhong's eyes lit up. "Why, Lao Yi, do you have connections? Although my son was admitted to a technical secondary school, his graduation assignment is determined by the government. It's not easy to get into our steel mill. It's difficult. If you have a way, just tell me how much it costs. I, Liu Haizhong, will never bargain."

Yi Zhonghai did not answer at this time, but turned to Yan Bugui and said: "You understand, from the moment the leader gave the Ma family two workstations, these workstations have nothing to do with us. We have made arrangements early on. I was too superficial and went with you to try it for nothing. As soon as the Ma family kid said that, I understood that this matter has nothing to do with us ordinary workers. There is no room for operation. We still have to continue learning."

When the third uncle heard this, he rolled his eyes, looked up to the sky and sighed, then turned around and walked home.

"What's wrong with him?" Liu Haizhong felt puzzled.

Yi Zhonghai seemed to be in the middle of a conversation tonight, and explained, "The old Ma family never had a job position. If Ma Qing graduated from junior high school and didn't want to study anymore, he would definitely go to the factory. Is there any better factory in this city than the steel rolling mill?

If he passes the technical secondary school entrance exam and doesn't need this workstation, he can use this workstation as a bargaining chip. While selling the workstation to the leader, he can also ask the leader to assign him back to the steel mill after graduation. Anyway, as long as it is within the rules, it is not difficult for the steel mill to recruit a technical secondary school student. It depends on whether the leader is willing. But who can say anything about recruiting a child whose parents both died in the workplace. Old Yan thought it through and went home."

"That's not certain. What if this kid gets into high school but fails to get into college?" "He won't go to high school. We went to his house tonight to discuss the matter. This kid was calm and decisive. He has his own ideas. Even if he goes to high school, he will only sell his workstation to the boss. He has made it clear. We don't know if this kid will have a promising future, but it seems that he will have no problem supporting his Ma family."

"It's not that simple. Can he take all the good things? After selling two workstations, can he get some of the profits back to the steel rolling mill?" Liu Haizhong said somewhat unconvinced.

"Inheritance and sale of work positions are the fundamental interests of our workers, just like the private plots in the countryside. Who dares to show his teeth on this matter? Anyone who dares to bring this up is standing against the entire working class and wants to die. If the Ma family kid passes the entrance exam to a technical secondary school, he will have the status of a state cadre, a real position. He has earned his position himself, so what can others say about it?

This position can be used anywhere, as it is all for serving the people. Is there anything wrong with the factory leaders bringing back the children of their own employees who died in the line of duty? Everyone in the factory will say that the leaders are righteous. "Yi Zhonghai glanced at Liu Haizhong, and he looked down on this old neighbor with a muddled mind.

"Then my kid has also been admitted to a technical secondary school, and he can come back to our factory after graduation." Liu Haizhong said happily.

"It's not impossible, but you, Old Liu, will have to make some sacrifices," Yi Zhonghai joked.

"I'll sacrifice something, what should I sacrifice?" Liu Haizhong didn't react for a moment.

"What I mean is that if you also died in the line of duty, without spending a penny or having to use any favors, not only will your second child get a workstation, but your first child can also get a job back in the factory."

"Fuck you, I haven't lived long enough, is there no other way?"

"That depends on whether you are willing to spend the money. You have to spend some money to get it up and running before your eldest son graduates. But if your eldest son gets a good share, then your money will be wasted. Think about it yourself."

It is said that Yi Zhonghai is a master who can pass through all kinds of flowers without getting hurt by a single leaf. When giving advice, he will never involve himself, but will get himself out of it first, so as to avoid wasting money and being blamed by the second uncle.

"Forget it. It's not worth it." Liu Haizhong thought that this was not something he could do, but he didn't know that because of his stinginess, his eldest son didn't get an ideal allocation and had to go to build the Third Front. So it's true that the character of the head of the family determines the future of the entire family.

Yi Zhonghai's opinion of Liu Haizhong became lower and lower. He was too lazy to brag to him anymore and turned around to go home to end this high-level conversation in the courtyard.

If Ma Qing had listened to the conversation between these three uncles, he would definitely give Yi Zhonghai a thumbs up, "Man, you understand. This is what I think and what I plan to do." But at this time, Ma Qing was still racking his brains to "create" his masterpiece of the era, "My Motherland and I."

The boring and monotonous life seemed to pass very slowly. With the help of Ma Qing's increasingly powerful memory after his time travel, after three days of restoration and creation, Ma Qing finally wrote the complete "My Motherland and I" and welcomed the first Saturday after he regained consciousness.
