On Saturday and Sunday, Sun Shaoping had been reading in the dormitory. There were still two years before the college entrance examination resumed, so there was still plenty of time. However, compared to the textbooks of later generations, there were some differences in the description of some problems. Sun Shaoping was still somewhat exhausted. It was not until lunchtime that he was awakened by hunger.
He closed his book and was about to rest for a while before going to eat. At this moment, someone knocked on the door. When he opened the door, it was Tian Xiaoxia.
"Eh, you're really here. My dad is really accurate. When did you come?”In fact, it wasn't Tian Fujun's calculation. Yesterday, Sun Shaoping met Tian Fujun in the courtyard. At that time, Tian Fujun was in a hurry to go out, so he just greeted him.
Sun Shaoping invited Tian Xiaoxia to sit down and poured a glass of water for her."I arrived yesterday. I had to prepare some things, so I arrived two days early.”There was only one chair in the dormitory. Since Tian Xiaoxia sat down, he could only stand.
Tian Xiaoxia looked at Sun Shaoping's outfit and said with a smile,"You went to buy clothes yesterday, right? You have good taste. This color suits you very well. As expected, Buddha needs gold clothes, and people need clothes. It's much better than your original one…You're still reading. I heard from my dad that you've finished your high school courses.”He picked up the math book and flipped through it.
Sun Shaoping was thick-skinned, so he wasn't embarrassed by his bragging. He smiled and explained,"" Don't I have to revise after I finish learning? What if I forget about it during the college entrance examination? I don't want to cram at the last minute…"
"Taking the college entrance exam…Are we going to resume the college entrance exam? Who did you hear that from?" Tian Xiaoxia was a meticulous and quick-witted person. She immediately caught the main point of Sun Shaoping's words.
" I'm just preparing for a rainy day. Who knows when the college entrance examination will resume? Anyway, there's no harm in learning it. It's more interesting than memorizing sayings..." This information was actually deliberately revealed by Sun Shaoping, but he couldn't say too much.
"How dare you say that 'Words of Leader Mao' is meaningless? This is a serious *** speech, you can't say it carelessly! Tian Xiaoxia quickly lowered her voice and looked outside the door like an underground worker.
"I didn't say that 'Words of Leader Mao' is not interesting. This is what you understand. What I mean is that reading books is more interesting than memorizing sayings.”Sun Shaoping's shamelessness was not something that Tian Xiaoxia could deal with. He said this to see Tian Xiaoxia's reaction. He was not a person who did not keep his mouth shut.
"No matter what, I can't say this again…My dad asked me to come and talk to you today.”Tian Xiaoxia did not want to talk about this topic anymore.
"Alright, I'll go over after I finish eating."”
" What are you waiting for? My family will be short of food for you. Hurry up and leave. My dad is waiting anxiously," Tian Xiaoxia said with a smile.
Sun Shaoping was also bashful and said,"Let's go then."
When the two of them arrived, Xu Aiyun had already laid out the dishes. It was still in the cave dwelling with the enlarged square table.
Tian Fujun seemed to be in a good mood. He smiled and said,"Shaoping, you're here. Come and sit…Xiaoxia, go get the bottle of Xifeng wine from Dad's bookshelf and call your husband.”
The dishes on the table had been served. Cold ear shreds, braised pork ribs, sauce pork knuckles, chili chicken, double cooked pork, and casserole mutton. There was not a single vegetarian dish, which made Sun Shaoping speechless. People in small places thought that a good table was a pile of meat. It turned out that the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee was only so knowledgeable.
When everyone was seated, Tian Fujun wanted to pour wine. Sun Shaoping quickly got up and took the bottle. He filled Xu Guoqiang, Tian Fujun, and himself with wine before sitting down. Xu Aiyun poured red wine for her and Tian Xiaoxia.
Tian Fujun raised his glass and smiled." Let's wish Shaoping a smooth career in the future!"”"That's because Uncle Tian helped me. Otherwise, I would still be a student.”Sun Shaoping quickly stood up and thanked him.
Tian Fu Jun waved his hand and said," You don't have to thank me. I should be thanking you for discovering such a huge 'treasure' for Yuan Xi County…Let's not talk about this first. Drink this glass of wine."”
After drinking a cup, Sun Shaoping poured more for the three of them. Xu Guoqiang was a little puzzled and asked,"What treasure?" After the old cadre retired, he did not know much about the outside world.
Tian Fujun told his father-in-law about the coal field. Xu Guoqiang smiled and said,"Good young man, this is a big matter that benefits the country and the people. Eh…are you the kid who came last time?”
" You have a good memory. That's right. I'm the kid who came to your house to freeload last time. I'm here again this time. Don't despise me, a child who always comes to freeload." Sun Shaoping's words made everyone at the table laugh.
"What are you talking about, kid? As long as you come often, this old man will be happy. Come, let's have a toast!”Sun Shaoping quickly clinked glasses with Xu Guoqiang.
Tian Fujun continued," Experts from the province's coal industry will be coming over in the next few days. Comrade Shikuan and I mean that you should accompany them to receive them. After all, you are more familiar with this area and can speak some insider words. If you have any difficulties, report to Comrade Shikuan and me in time. Is there a problem?"
"I don't have a problem with that," said Sun Shaoping.”
Xu Aiyun smiled and said," Let's not talk about work at home. Shaoping, come and eat. Try Auntie's cooking." She then gave Sun Shaoping a piece of braised pork ribs.
" I've tasted Auntie's cooking last time. It's comparable to a five-star hotel. The sugar color of the ribs can make people's appetite increase." Sun Shaoping took a bite and said,""These ribs should have been marinated before they were cooked.”
These words tickled Xu Aiyun's itch. Other than medicine, her hobby was cooking. She smiled and said, I didn't expect you to know how to cook. What's this five-star hotel you're talking about?"
Sun Shaoping explained," This is the rating system for hotels in foreign countries. Five-star is the highest. Of course, these are the dregs of capitalist countries. They are set up for the purpose of extravagance and waste. We advocate hard work and plain living, so our country doesn't have these.”
"Are you accusing my mother of being wasteful?" Tian Xiaoxia said with a smile.”
Sun Shaoping was at a loss for words and explained,"That's not what I meant…"
Xu Aiyun knocked her daughter's bowl with her chopsticks and said with a smile,""If you only know how to pick people, hurry up and eat your food."
Tian Fujun said," Although we can say that this 'five-star hotel' rating system advocates luxury, it also reflects the great wealth of their country. If they didn't have this condition, capitalist countries wouldn't promote this culture…Shaoping, putting aside ideology, what do you think a good social system should be like?"”
This problem was a bit big. Sun Shaoping thought for a moment and said," A good social system is a system that guarantees the fundamental interests of the majority of the people. To be more specific, the common people have food to eat, clothes to wear, money to spend, a house to own, students to go to school, workers to do work, farmers to farm, businessmen to earn money, young to support, old to rely on, officials to be honest, politics to be open, the law to be fair, society to be fair, and morals to last forever. Hehe, there is no good system in the world, only a system that is constantly improving.”
Tian Fujun smiled and said,"Well said. Then what do you think should be improved in our current system?"”
Sun Shaoping also smiled. He ate a mouthful of food and said,"Uncle Tian, can you improve it, or can I? " If you think too much, you'll be worrying for nothing. If you say too much, you'll be burning yourself. You can take a stroll in the courtyard. When the water reaches the canal, it will naturally be formed. Hehe, there's no point in saying this. Auntie Xu's dishes are so delicious. It's a waste to use your mouth to talk. Even Leader Mao said that wasting is a great crime. We still have to listen to Leader Mao."”
After dinner, Sun Shaoping said goodbye. After he left, Xu Guoqiang said to Tian Fujun,""This young man is not simple. He was born to be an official and a high official. Putting aside his horizons, you can't compare to this calm Fu Jun."
Tian Fujun smiled bitterly and said,"I don't want to be a high-ranking official. I just want to do something practical for the people."”
Xu Guoqiang shook his head and said," Your way of thinking is wrong. Only when you are a big official and have great power can you do things for the people. Just like you now, everything is controlled by Feng Shikuan. How can you implement your ideas without power? It's just empty talk.”
