The children of farmers in Hunan Province are unwilling to travel far away. The first batch was not fully recruited, but the second batch was also recruited. Commune leaders and brigade cadres came to the door to patiently do ideological mobilization work to support the construction of Jianggang. It is glorious, it is glorious to be a worker, and the work is promised to be fulfilled. After three years, they could return to their hometowns to work in farming. They were coaxed and deceived, and it took eight batches of recruitments in a row before they were fully recruited.
Father Sun and Father Liu were unwilling to leave their hometown at that time, thinking that they would never come back. Finally, commune cadres came to do ideological work in person before agreeing to a physical examination. The young men and women, carrying packages, reluctantly said goodbye to their relatives, said goodbye with tears, and sat down. The tractor from the commune arrived at Jincheng, and we boarded the ship to Tanzhou with difficulty. It felt like the wind was blowing and the water was cold! Finally, we went to Tanzhou, took the train to Jiangchang, and took the bus to Jianggang. We saw red buildings and blast furnaces rising from the ground, and everyone felt relieved.
Of course there is no salary for supporting Jianggang!
Fourteen yuan a month for living expenses, twelve yuan for food, and two yuan for pocket money. After working hard for three months, the workers realized that they had been cheated, quit working, and wanted to go home!
Jianggang leaders held a meeting overnight to study and decided to start grading in the fourth month. Father Sun and Father Liu were designated as first-class workers, with a salary of 32 yuan and 50 cents!
The children of farmers began to live the life of city dwellers.
Father Sun and Father Liu, a group of Jianggang people who came from Hunan Province, were all grateful to the great man. On September 9, 1976, the news of the great man's death came from the capital. Father Sun and Father Liu burst into tears. The sky fell!
Young people who have not experienced that era do not have this feeling!
Who says great men are bad? In the eyes of Father Sun and Father Liu, they are just beasts!
This is a true history experienced by Jianggang people. Even the Jianggang Museum will not record it. Father Sun and Father Liu told Sun Jian over and over again in their later years, recalling the past and remembering it like every family treasure.
Time is like a knife, and there are fewer people who have experienced this history every day!
History is created by working people!
During the epidemic, many projects of Jianggang were cancelled, and many people were decentralized or applied for decentralization (return to their hometowns) on their own, and returned to their hometowns to become farmers!
Those who went back regretted it later when they saw the fellow countrymen returning home in fine clothes!
When Liu's father came out in 1958, he was already 23 years old, and his local accent was hard to change. Liu's mother was from Anshan Iron and Steel, and was 20 years old. At that time, the Anshan Iron and Steel people who supported Jianggang had no single female workers except themselves and their families. She followed her in 1958. My brother-in-law came to Jianggang with my sister and was recruited as a worker. Later, my brother-in-law applied for decentralization and took his family back to the countryside, and she stayed!
Northeast, the base of heavy industry, the eldest son of the Republic! Marrying Liu's father felt low, and because he was tall, he was the master of the family and spoke authentic Northeastern dialect. The three Liu Yue sisters had been exposed to it since childhood, and their Mandarin was more authentic than that of the Sun Jian brothers and sisters.
Sun's father was already twenty-four when he came out in 1958, and his local accent was hard to change. Sun's mother was from the Jiangcheng Construction Commune. She was nineteen years old and was the first to be hired as a laborer. Sun's father didn't get married until he was twenty-nine. Just outside the house, there were two brothers and a sister, all of whom were married. Sun’s mother was the only one who met the recruitment requirements at that time and became a worker. She was the treasure of the family and the boss of the family. The family had a different accent from the south to the north. Fortunately, she had a kindergarten teacher since she was a child. Because of his influence and playing with the three Liu brothers and sisters, he did not make any detours.
Brother and sister Sun Jiansan and sister Liu Yuesan did not imitate the young men and women in the Steel City area. They spoke Mandarin with a bent pipe that they thought was very fashionable. They were so useless!
Sun's mother's skills in driving the crane were taught by her mother Liu, who is Liu's apprentice. Mother Liu is the squad leader of the crane class and the leader of Sun's mother; Liu's father is the deputy director (deputy section) of another workshop in the same factory. , The culture is half a grade higher than that of Sun's father; Sun's father is an advanced worker in the factory. He graduated from night school (primary school) and is preparing to go to night school to continue his studies. Wen G begins!
Parents on both sides know each other well, and they often visit each other during Chinese New Year and have two New Year meals together. Their three children have played together since they were born. They are almost the same age, only differing in months.
Liu Yue was later admitted to Jiangcheng University, majoring in business administration. After graduation, she was assigned to the Human Resources Department of Jiangcheng Shopping Mall. She married a surgeon from Jihe Hospital opposite. Her husband later got together with a female boss and left the house. He lives alone with his daughter. After her daughter graduated from Jiangcheng University of Science and Technology, she went to study in the UK. Sun Jian is WeChat friends with her and often sees the messages she sends.
There is a virtuous Bi Xiaoyun in his family, so Sun Jian cannot care too much about his childhood sweetheart and a beautiful divorced woman.
------
"Thanks!"
Liu Yue peeled off the eggshell with a smile, not shying away in front of Sun Jian. She was really hungry.
"Sun Jian!"
Another slim and familiar figure appeared in front of her. Li Ting, the study committee member of Class 1, Grade 3, Jiangcheng No. 5 Middle School, scored 560 points in the high school entrance examination. She did not study in a technical secondary school at that time. Now she and Liu Yue are still classmates, together. We go to school together and come home from school together. We are inseparable and are lifelong best friends.
Class 1, Grade 3, was the only top class among the six Grade 3 classes in Jiangcheng No. 5 Middle School. Among the thirty-five students in the class, two were children of teachers from Jiangcheng No. 5 Middle School. They studied well and eventually got into the class. Twenty-two students have attended technical secondary school, ten have entered high school, and three students have chosen to repeat their studies.
Of the three students who repeated the course, two went to high school and one went to technical secondary school.
Most of the students who went to technical secondary schools were in the culture, education, health and civil service systems. At the beginning, recruitment and distribution were unified, cadres were established, and their jobs and income were stable. They were better than those above and below, and there were several like Sun Jian who were doing well. Only those who went to college were One entered the city government, and the others, although their careers sounded more advanced, were doing average.
Thirty years after graduation, junior high school classmates held a party, and Sun Jian was also one of the organizers. However, there was another medical disturbance in the workplace that day. Secretary Sun couldn't leave and missed the opportunity to get to know his old classmates.
Finally, a classmate sent the group photo to the WeChat group. Sun Jian wore reading glasses and spent a long time identifying it, but he still didn't recognize it!
Time flies, years are like a knife!
After Sun Jian became a wealthy man in this life, he paid to gather his junior high school classmates together, which was not only a connection but also a friendship.
"Classmate Li Ting, congratulations on becoming a college student!"
Sun Jian is no longer the young boy he once was. Looking at the two beautiful girls is like looking at the precious girl Sun Jia. There is only care and no love.
Li Ting lives in the eighth neighborhood, just across Ganghong 2nd Street and Ganghong 3rd Street from the 10th neighborhood, a few minutes away. Sun Jian comes back every weekend. Li Ting and Liu Yue are inseparable classmates. When she saw Liu Yue I can see Li Ting. Although three years have passed, I can still see her once or twice a month. They are all children of Jianggang. They were all born the same. They went to the same class in Jianggang No. 3 Primary School for five years in elementary school and in Jianggang No. 5. I have been in one of the middle school classes for three years and know the basics.
