In 1978, I was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 5 If you don't let my son go to college, I'll make you lose your job

"Old Yu, calm down!"

"Calm down, how can you ask me to calm down?"

Yu Guofeng's face was distorted due to anger.

"After a 10-year hiatus, our computer technology is far behind that of foreign countries. We need outstanding talents to catch up! We finally found a person with great potential, but he was blocked because of such a small matter! If it is not resolved, how can the student apply for admission without a letter of introduction? If he cannot go to university because of such a reason, it is not only a loss for the school, but also a huge loss for the entire computer field and the country!"

Yu Guofeng's voice was loud and his saliva was flying.

Liang Hong smoked in silence.

As deputy director of the Bureau of Electronics Industry, he is very clear about the current situation of the domestic computer industry.

The computer major has very high requirements for students. It not only requires excellent logical ability, but also a good foundation in foreign languages.

On the way here, Yu Guofeng introduced Xie Wei's situation.

The six science subjects in the college entrance examination, mathematics, physics, and chemistry, all have a full score of 100 points.

Total score 494!

5 points were deducted from Chinese and 1 point was deducted from politics.

English, which is not included in the college entrance examination scores and is used as a reference for admission, also requires full marks!
High scores cannot represent the future, but they can at least prove the learning ability of students who can get such high scores.

This is exactly the purpose of the country's restoration of the college entrance examination to select talents - to select people with outstanding learning abilities to learn advanced professional knowledge, thereby accelerating the country's scientific and technological development and narrowing the gap with international science and technology.

"Alas~ It's a different system, so it's not convenient to intervene directly. I'll use some connections and wait a few days. Can the school make some adjustments?"

They are not from the same system. Liang Hong’s words may very likely lead to conflicts between the Industrial Bureau and the Electronics Industry Bureau.

"There will be no problem with reporting a few days later. If they dare to suppress my university admission letter, what else can they not do?"

Liang Hong looked at his anxious old classmates and sighed.

He returned to Hongguang Machinery Factory and inquired about Xu Zhihui's whereabouts from the security guard.

I learned from the security guard that Director Xu went out for a drink with a client from out of town, and he would be at the factory working overtime in the evening.

"I don't know how long they will drink. Let's go to the guesthouse and settle down first, and then come back after dinner."

Liang Hong suggested.

Yu Guofeng could only nod helplessly.

······
Before Xie Wei reached home, he saw from a distance his tall and thin father Xie Jianguo, with his bare arms stretched straight by the cloth belt hanging on them, his back hunched, and he was pulling a cart of broken coal into the yard with great effort.

The thin mother Liu Mei held one side of the cart and pushed it hard.

He hurriedly jumped off the bicycle and helped his parents push the cart full of fine coal dust into the yard.

Liu Mei divided the two-mu yard into areas and planted various vegetables on more than one mu of the land.

At this moment, garlic sprouts, onions, coriander, radish, cabbage, mustard greens, etc. are lush and green.

The lotus leaves have begun to curl up and the lettuce is growing well.

On the right side, between the kitchen and the vegetable garden, a two-story chicken coop of two to three square meters was built with wood. There were two roosters on the top floor, and four hens, three ducks, and two geese on the lower floor.

On weekdays, they are fed with bran mixed with old vegetable leaves or young grass from the ground.

"Mom, winter is still a while away, why are you buying so much coal?"

Living in the suburbs, the four members of the Xie family all have urban household registration and eat commercial grain. They have no forest land and naturally no firewood.

The kitchen uses a coal briquette stove.

"The price of coal will go up in winter. If we make this truckload of coal into briquettes, we can save five or six yuan!"

Liu Mei wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, pushed the hair stuck to her forehead to the sides, and pulled the towel hanging on Xie Jianguo's belt from his waist. She reached out to wipe Xie Jianguo's sweat, smiled and said to her son, "Go and rest for a while, I'll cook right away."

Coal briquettes are supplied with tickets, 100 jins are sold for 1 yuan, delivered to your door, with an additional 2 cents per jin for shipping.

Coal briquettes are made of carbon ash, loess and water. 100 to 20 kilograms of loess are needed for 30 kilograms of coal.

100 kilograms of coal costs only 9 cents.

If you buy coal briquettes from the factory, you can save more than 100 yuan per 2 kilograms.

A family uses two to three hundred kilograms of coal briquettes a month.

After saying this, Liu Mei walked towards the kitchen.

"The notice hasn't come yet?"

Xie Jianguo straightened his waist to relieve the pain in his waist and asked Xie Wei.

"Nope."

Xie Wei forced a smile on his face, not daring to look at the old man's eyes, fearing that he would see through him. He quickly said, "Dad, I still have some work to do, so I'll go back to my room first."

"Did he really not come down or was he stuck?"

Xie Jianguo stared at his son and asked dissatisfiedly, "Did you go to the Education Commission to check?" Xie Wei wanted to say no, but when he saw the old man glaring at him, he nodded silently.

"which school?"

"Harbin University of Technology, in the northeast."

"I know, it's the school next to Harbin Institute of Technology. Why don't you apply to Harbin Institute of Technology?"

Xie Jianguo's words left Xie Wei at a loss for words.

Harbin Institute of Technology was split up a long time ago, and even the remaining ones were relocated. The name was changed long ago. How could the old man not know this?
The National University of Defense Technology is indeed very good, but it focuses more on military affairs.

The knowledge and experience that Xie Wei brings are more suitable for the field of military technology research and development.

"You didn't agree to marry Huang Ying, so Xu Zhihui blocked you, right?"

Xie Jianguo's sudden words stunned Xie Wei.

How did the old man know this?

"dad……"

"Tonight, I will solve this problem for you!"

Xie Jianguo snorted coldly, "If he doesn't let my son go to college, I will make sure he doesn't become the director!"

······
"What the hell? You're holding onto the admission letter but not giving me a letter of introduction?"

At the gate of Hongguang Factory, Du Guowang, who went straight to Hongguang Machinery Factory after getting off the train, became anxious when he heard the guard say that Xie Wei might not be able to go to university.

Then he turned to look at Wei Guobing who was with him and said, "Old Wei, is this the key enterprise or star enterprise you mentioned? I think there is something wrong with the person in charge of this factory!"

Wei Guobing, deputy director of the Industrial Bureau, was embarrassed when the head of a subordinate unit did such a thing.

"Old Du, don't worry. I will come in person tomorrow to get the letter of introduction and the transfer of relationship. You have been sitting in the car for two days, let's go to the guesthouse to rest first..."

"Do you think that just a letter of introduction and a transfer of connections will solve the problem? Keeping such a person in charge for the New Year?"

"Gulu~"

Wang Zheng's stomach made a sound.

"Then let's go to the guesthouse to eat something. It won't take much time to go there and back."

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Wei Guobin, who was originally too embarrassed to know how to answer, proposed.

Du Guowang thought about it and nodded in agreement, "Come back after dinner. If you dare to block my students, I won't let them leave until the get out of class is over, and I won't leave!"

Director Du was really angry.

Fortunately, I came here, otherwise if the students didn’t report and they didn’t know the reason, it would be a huge loss for the country!

"Hey~ Let's go eat first. It's a good opportunity to find someone to investigate Xu Zhihui's violations!"

Seeing that Du Guowang was determined not to leave unless he agreed, Wei Guobing could only nod in agreement helplessly.

Xu Zhihui has violated discipline and we will naturally not tolerate it.

If it was just about holding Xie Wei back, Wei Guobing felt that he could not violate his principles for the sake of his old friend.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the state-owned restaurant closes on time.

Xu Zhihui and his friends, who had not yet finished their drinks, were "invited" out by the waiter.

Even though Xu Zhihui, the director of the Hongguang Factory, often eats here, the waiter was not polite at all, and the chef left work at 7:.

Although Xu Zhihui was dissatisfied with being kicked out by the waiter, he did not dare to get angry.

If you make me angry, I won’t be able to get in the door next time.

Looking at the people in front of him with flattering smiles, Xu Zhihui patted his chest and promised: "Everyone, don't worry, tomorrow I will have someone arrange to load the goods for you first..."

He refused several offers to send him off and staggered towards the Hongguang Factory.

A little after eight ten.

Xie Jianguo and his son Xie Wei, riding their bicycles, arrived at the factory gate.

Originally, Xie Jianguo didn't plan to let Xie Wei come along, but Xie Wei was afraid that he would take action and make things more complicated, so he had to come along.

The night shift security guards were all very familiar with the father and son. Xie Jianguo pulled one of them aside and whispered to him for a long time before taking Xie Wei into the factory.

"Dad, what are you doing here?"

Looking at the area ahead where the street lights were not on, Xie Wei asked the old man in confusion.

"Wait, don't make any noise."

Xie Jianguo didn't explain either.
