The days passed peacefully. He Yuzhu did not dare to do anything out of line. He could earn about 50 yuan every month by helping others cook. He went to the Lou family's house to cook twice a month, so he was familiar with Chairman Lou, Mother Lou, and Lou Xiao'e. He could even crack a few jokes.
He also visited Li Yugang's house a few times and gave him some local specialties in the name of asking for advice, such as his own fish floss, salted fish, and dried fish. Speaking of which, he was the one who caught the fish. He tried his best to get closer to them, and because of this, he published a few articles, all praising the motherland or reporting on the advanced deeds of the rolling mill workers.
Twice, Yan Bugui had received royalties when he was around. One time, it was more than ten yuan, and the other time, it was more than forty yuan. Yan Bugui's eyes were red from seeing it. He received more than sixty yuan a month, which was higher than his salary. He was still receiving the " Thank you for your patronage ". He wanted to ask He Yuzhu for advice, but he could not bring himself to do so.
The neighbors in the courtyard also learned about He Yuzhu's remuneration from Yan Bugui. They also saw that his family had a lot of fine grain and meat every day, so they discussed it animatedly.
The children of the various families were also unlucky. Although He Yuzhu was not a child of other families, everyone knew that he had only been in school for less than a year, yet he could receive so much remuneration. Their children had been studying for a few years, but they were not even photoshopped.
Time passed quickly. After the primary school final exams, it was time for the summer break. This time, He Yushui ranked first in the class. He Yuzhu was very happy. She specially took her sister to the cheap store to eat roast duck and bought a dress as a reward.
During the summer vacation, He Yuzhu took time out every day to tutor her, monitor her studies, and arrange her daily study progress. In order to get the little girl to study hard, he even bought her watermelons, peaches, and all kinds of fruits every day. He also bought her chicken, duck, and fish.
He Yuzhu also picked up the Deaf Old Lady for dinner every day. He asked the old lady to supervise He Yushui to read and study. He finally finished the fourth grade curriculum.
He Yuzhu then asked Yan Bugui to get him the final exam papers for the fourth grade last year. They were not bad, with each subject scoring above 95 points. He rewarded her with two butterfly hairpins and even took her to a movie to encourage her.
On the first day of school, He Yuzhu specially applied for leave and brought He Yushui along to ask Yan Bugui for help in finding the principal. He Yushui did not disappoint and successfully passed the grade skipping test and was promoted to the fifth grade.
After two days, He Yuzhu went to the Lou family to cook for them. Director Lou forced a smile when he saw He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu estimated that Director Lou was worried about the public-private partnership.
Sure enough, after the food was ready, Director Lou pulled He Yuzhu over to drink and chat. After chatting for a long time, they finally talked about the 'Temporary Regulations on Public and Private Joint Industrial and Enterprise' that had just been passed on September 2nd.
Director Lou said worriedly," I don't understand the current situation. Of course, we support public and private joint ventures. However, we're afraid that we can't understand the policy. If we make a mistake, it'll be troublesome."”
Of course, Director Lou didn't want He Yuzhu to come up with a plan. He just kept thinking about it and sighed.
He Yuzhu smiled and said," I don't understand these policies either. After all, it has little to do with us workers. I've been studying hard recently. Not only have I been tutoring in cultural studies, but I've also been studying the Selection of Leaders in order to improve my political skills.”
Then, he raised his glass and toasted Director Lou. He continued,"Recently, I have just studied the article 'Analysis of the Classes of Chinese Society.' As expected of a great man who personally listed it as an open-book article and included it in the 'Selection of Leaders.' He even personally wrote the caption. In the past two years, he has made many meticulous changes and supplements.”
"From this article, we can see that the founding of New China can only be said to be a step forward. The level struggle achieved initial victory, and was divided into levels. Level composition, it pointed out the direction of the future struggle. Chairman Lou, I think you should read the Leaders 'Selection when you have time.”
Director Lou thought about it and replied casually,"Yes, a great man is indeed far-sighted. The problems he considers are more fundamental." Well, I haven't read the article you mentioned. What is the main topic of this article?”
"I'm not good enough, so I haven't fully understood this article. However, every word in a great man's article requires us to have a deep understanding and in-depth study. Who are our friends? This problem is revolutionary. Life is the most important thing. Director Lou, look, this sentence is profound.”
Director Lou nodded thoughtfully and replied,"Yes, that's right. I'll study the articles of great men when I get back. Sigh, there was nothing he could do about it.”
He Yuzhu replied casually,"Perhaps the general trend cannot be changed, but the small trend can be changed."”
Director Lou also said casually,"What if it doesn't work?"
He Yuzhu lowered her head and took a sip of wine.”
Late at night, Director Lou leaned against the bed and flipped through a "Leader Selection" that he had asked his secretary to send over. He sighed from time to time.
Mother Lou was also affected by Director Lou and couldn't fall asleep. She sat up and asked,"What's wrong with you tonight? Was it because of the public-private partnership? Didn't I say that we should just follow what others do?”
Director Lou sighed again.”
"What do you think?" Mother Lou asked.
Director Lou shook his head." It's not that I've changed my mind. What He Yuzhu said last night makes sense. A public-private partnership is not such a simple economic activity.”
"What did He Yuzhu say?" Lou's mother didn't understand. I didn't hear you guys talking about this."
Director Lou chuckled." That little fox said it in an obscure way. He's probably afraid of getting himself burned. I only understood what he meant after reading this article."”
"Then what did he mean?" asked Lou's mother.”
"What he meant was that they should either actively participate in it and strive to change their own attributes, or change their own composition. Otherwise, even left-wing capitalists have to be constantly guarded against. The problem was that he didn't know how far he should go.”
"Is this the only way?" Mother Lou asked again.
"There's also the matter of leaving." Director Lou sighed.”
Mother Lou sighed and fell silent. She had insomnia too.
When He Yuzhu returned home, he checked on Yu Shui's homework and helped her with her revision. He had made up his mind to live peacefully until the 1980s, so he had been focusing on stability for the past few years. He would use the extra energy to train his sister.
He Yushui's age was rather awkward. She should have graduated from high school in 1963, and the big wave started in 1966. If she had been admitted to university, she would have been in school at that time. At that time, the school was the most chaotic place. Not only did she fail to complete all the courses, but she also failed to be assigned to the right unit and position in time.
Different from the later generations, most of the majors in this period of time were five-year courses. Therefore, He Yushui's safest choice was to take the college entrance examination in 2060. At the latest, he would take the college entrance examination in 2061 and leave the campus before the big wave began.
Therefore, He Yuzhu still wanted to urge her to study hard and skip two more grades so that she could graduate in 1965 or 1966 at the latest. The university graduates before the big wave were still very powerful. Not only did they have an advantage in the large-scale promotion of highly educated officials in the early 1980s, but they also had a large number of classmates and schoolmates who also had the same advantage. Basically, they could make their future smooth sailing.
After tutoring his younger sister, He Yuzhu also read for a while. Although he had memories of his later life, he still wanted to learn how to write. Only then would he not turn the excellent works of his later life into trash. He could also communicate with his peers and chat with them.
At night, he lay in bed and thought about his conversation with Director Lou. It wasn't that he had any thoughts about Lou Xiao'e. He couldn't possibly marry girls like Lou Xiao'e and Ran Qiuye who came from poor backgrounds. There was nothing else. He couldn't protect them.
He couldn't just watch his wife get criticized. Dou could only comfort her after the event, especially when they had children after they got married. He couldn't stand letting his children suffer more than ten years of discrimination. It wasn't like he could only choose one of these people to marry. There were many outstanding people who were even great emperors.
He just felt that Director Lou treated him well. Every time, she would give him a bunch of things. In addition, he sympathized with Lou Xiao'e's experience in the original drama, so he only said a few words.
However, since Director Lou could neither reach the level of Li Zhuchen nor Dong Zhujun, there was only one way.
At the end of September, He Yuzhu applied to take part in the junior high school graduation exam. He Yuzhu was considered lucky. He should have graduated in January, but this time, the Steel Rolling Mill Amateur School learned from the advanced experience of the First Cadre Amateur School in Jin City and implemented an elective system to readjust the progress of single subject studies.
He Yuzhu followed the rules of the school system." When an elective student is promoted or graduates, they must pass the required courses. If they only pass one subject, they will be given a certificate. When they pass all the courses, they will be given a graduation certificate.'He directly chose the general examination and successfully obtained the junior high school graduation certificate from the amateur school.
"Ding! The second phase of the system mission has been completed. It took 195 days. Reward: 350 points. Current points: 545. Do you wish to proceed with the lottery draw?”
"No." He Yuzhu replied. The rewards this time were quite generous. It was probably calculated according to the difficulty and time. If this continued, it would not be long before he could accumulate an advanced lottery draw.
He Yuzhu was very happy. Right now, he just had to graduate from high school as soon as possible or get a certificate of the same academic qualifications. However, he did not know if just getting a certificate of the same academic qualifications would count as completing the phase of the mission.
He Yuzhu originally wanted to study in a technical secondary school after graduating from junior high school, but he had to study in a technical secondary school for three years and could not skip grades. Now that the technical school was going to implement an elective system, he simply signed up and went straight to high school, striving to graduate within a year.
He estimated that he would be able to obtain an advanced lottery draw once after obtaining a high school degree. He had not experienced the advanced lottery draw before, so he wanted to know if there would be supernatural talents in the advanced lottery draw. He was very much looking forward to it.
In addition, he also wanted to test if the system required him to go around the rolling mill and the courtyard house after he won the advanced lottery. If he did not need to follow the main plot of the TV series, Love in the Courtyard, he would consider leaving with his sister and returning after the storm passed.
