After going out, Zhou Yawen did not walk along the streets of the village, but took his son directly to the outside of the village.
Zhou Yawen has not learned anything else in these years, but he has learned a lot about being cautious in words and deeds.
Seeing his father's cautious look, Zhou Yang knew it was definitely not as simple as taking a walk to eat.
So after leaving the village, he smiled and asked: "Dad, do you have anything to tell me?"
"Um!"
"Dad, if you have anything to say, just say it. I'm listening!"
Zhou Yawen nodded and said: "Xiaowei took us around the village this afternoon. We went to the feed factory, bone meal factory, pig farm, and also went to the biogas pool and the laboratory. To be honest, I was very disappointed. I’m proud, surprised, and a little worried at the same time!”
"I'm proud that my son took the lead in building these factories. This shows that the hard life of joining the queue in the past few years has not only not dampened your confidence or dampened your fighting spirit, but has made you more responsible and resilient. As you grow up, It’s our pride!”
After hearing his father's words, Zhou Yang suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
He knows his own affairs. To be honest, just talking about his previous life, he was actually defeated by reality in the first year he came here.
When he came here, he was just a young boy of sixteen or seventeen years old. He didn't have a piece of steel in his body, and he didn't even have a quilt in the cold winter. He was scratching his back and scratching his head all day long. He wanted to bite everything he saw. Two mouthfuls.
Compared with his life in the capital, they were two extremes. At that time, Zhou Yang felt that he was not jumping in line in the countryside, but falling into an abyss.
If he hadn't met the silly girl Li Youwei, and if this girl hadn't happened to be a beauty-obsessed love brain, Zhou Yang wasn't sure he could have persisted.
So when Zhou Yang heard his father's words, his first reaction was to blush, not just embarrassed, but completely ashamed!
"Dad, I'm not as good as you think, really!"
Then Zhou Yang said again: "Even three months ago, I almost abandoned my wife and daughter. If my uncles hadn't woken me up in time, I might now..."
"Abandoning your wife and daughter, what else is there?" Zhou Yawen frowned.
"Well, here's the thing..."
At that time, Zhou Yang told him about Uncle Zhu's letter to him, asking him to return to the capital.
In front of his father, Zhou Yang didn't feel like he had anything to hide, even though it was embarrassing.
After listening to Zhou Yang's words, Zhou Yawen was silent for a while, and then said: "This era is indeed too depressing. Over time, normal people can be driven crazy."
"You are still young now, and you will definitely encounter various things and temptations in the future, but I hope you will see your heart clearly and ask yourself when making any decision, is this what you want? Please note this There is no regret medicine in the world!"
"Yeah!" Zhou Yang nodded.
"Luckily you pulled back from the brink, otherwise, you would definitely regret it!"
Then Zhou Yawen said again: "It is said that husband and wife are like birds in the same forest. They fly apart when disaster strikes. It is really not easy to find someone who likes you wholeheartedly."
"It can be seen that Xiaowei is a good girl. She really cares about you. If you fail her, you will definitely regret it!"
Zhou Yang immediately said: "Dad, you are right, I will definitely be a good husband and father for the rest of my life!"
"Well, I believe you, but I'm also worried that you are young and energetic, don't know how to restrain yourself, and bring disaster to the family!" Zhou Yawen said.
Zhou Yang thought for a while and said, "Dad, do you think the things I do in the village are too high-profile, so you are worried that I will be fucked?"
"Well, you should know what the situation is these days. Many people are wide-eyed and want to grab someone else's pigtails to get ahead."
Then Zhou Yawen continued: "Your stall is so big. If you don't do it well, the members will scold you. If you do it well, it will be even more troublesome. Others will be dissatisfied with you and your village!"
"Dad, are you worried that after we do it, we will arouse the jealousy of other production teams?"
"Well, think about it, everyone is miserable, why can only your village live a decent life?"
Afterwards, Zhou Yawen sighed and said: "You should understand the principle of not worrying about scarcity but of inequality, not worrying about poverty but anxiety!"
Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Dad, if it had been a few years ago, your worries would have been justified, but now..."
"What's wrong now?"
"The situation has changed!" Zhou Yang said.
"Where can it be changed if it changes again?" Zhou Yawen shook his head and said.
Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Dad, now the country's focus has begun to shift to the economy. Let's not talk about the changes at the top for now. Many places are actually quietly developing their economy!"
"Oh, what do you know?" Zhou Yawen asked immediately.
"Dad, one of my classmates was assigned to join the queue in Jin Province next door. We got in touch some time ago and he told me about the situation there!"
"Jin Province! The situation there should be better than ours. After all, the economic conditions in Jin Province have always been much stronger than those in Saibei!" Zhou Yawen said.
Zhou Yang immediately said: "The place where my classmate joined the queue is in the Taihang Mountains, and the economic situation is not good. Although there is iron, coal, and rich resources, the people are still very poor. In addition, there is not much cultivated land, and many people cannot afford to eat. ."
“But in the past two years, relying on local conditions, the broad masses of the people in the county have carried forward the “poor stick spirit” and launched mass movements, resulting in the rapid development of local small-scale industries in the county.”
“In less than two years, they established 30 small ironworks, 152 small coal kilns, 14 small hydropower stations, 450 small brick and tile factories, and 450 cement and building materials factories in the county. Nineteen, 465 small machinery factories, 55 small mines... Not only has productivity been greatly improved, but the living standards of the people have also been improved!"
"So powerful?" Zhou Yawen said with some surprise.
"Well, according to him, after his production brigade set up a small hydropower station, the entire brigade used electricity for lighting, water lifting, weeding, flour grinding, etc. Every night, every household in the village had lights on. Conditions Much better than previous years.”
Then Zhou Yang said again: "And their hard-working, self-reliant development idea has not been stopped, but has been highly praised by their superiors. The party media and official media have publicly praised them in heavyweight newspapers many times. It can be seen that The higher authorities are already adjusting policies!”
Zhou Yawen was silent. If what his son said was true, this matter could indeed reflect some problems.
But thinking about the situation in the past few years, he still said with lingering fear: "Oh, then you should be careful and be cautious in your words and deeds. Peace is a blessing!"
Zhou Yang nodded, and then said: "Well, I understand!"
Although Zhou Yang was a little touched by his father's worries, he didn't care.
It is now September 1975, and the country's situation has generally stabilized. It is only a year away from the end of the turmoil.
Moreover, the Babaoliang Brigade seems to be in full swing now, but in fact it has been throwing money into it and has not seen a dime of profit.
Without tangible benefits, it will naturally not arouse the envy and jealousy of others.
When there are real benefits, the members have received the dividends of development, the country's situation has stabilized, and they don't have to worry about others taking advantage of them.
All in all, Zhou Yang was confident in doing this!
