The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 27: Do you know that there is a college student in our college? He is very awesome!

"Leader, you're too kind." Li Mu felt a little ashamed. He just didn't want to be exposed so he studied hard!
"This is well-deserved. No amount of praise is too much. Don't you agree?" Leader Qiu joked and everyone in the room laughed.

When the laughter died down, Leader Qiu took the award certificate and bonus from his subordinates from behind and said solemnly:

"This time, on behalf of the First Machinery Department of Kyoto, I give you, Li Mu, a bonus of 100 yuan as an encouragement. I hope you will continue to carry forward the spirit of scientific exploration and make more contributions to the country, society, and the people."

"Leader, this is not just my achievement. I also received help from the school, teachers and two classmates. Otherwise, I would not have achieved such results." Li Mu quickly explained.

Leader Qiu laughed and said:

"Haha, Comrade Li Mu is indeed as modest as the rumors say. Not bad, not arrogant or impatient. He is indeed a good comrade!"

"Don't worry, the other two students will also receive rewards."

At this time, the dean also smiled and said:
"You have brought honor to the school this time. After discussion, we have decided to give you an 80 yuan bonus. Zhang Kai and Li Jian will each receive an 80 yuan bonus. They have already received theirs at the awards ceremony this morning. Yours is the only one left."

As he spoke, the dean asked Professor Wang beside him to hand the prize money to Li Mu.

Li Mu took the 180 yuan bonus and felt mixed emotions.

180 yuan is definitely a huge sum of money in this era!
Formal workers who have just joined large state-owned enterprises only earn a salary of more than 20 yuan a month, and the two bonuses are equivalent to half a year's salary for ordinary workers.

Workers in local state-owned enterprises and even collective enterprises only earn a dozen or a few yuan a month.

Then, Leader Qiu and the dean showed him various concerns and encouragements.

Seeing that Li Mu was still sick, Leader Qiu turned around and ordered: "Secretary Liang, go arrange a car to take Comrade Li Mu to the hospital for treatment."

Li Mu was startled and quickly refused: "No need, boss. I just have a minor illness and it will be fine in two days. Medical resources are so precious, don't waste them!"

"Don't try to hold on. Your body is the capital of your life," said Leader Qiu.

"I know, thank you, leader. It's not too late for me to go to the hospital if there is anything else." Li Mu said.

Leader Qiu was still a little worried and gave some more advice.

But Li Mu refused so bluntly that he had to give up and talk about other topics.

It was not until the secretary behind him reminded him that Leader Qiu left with a sense of reluctance.

Before leaving, he said meaningfully: "Student Li Mu should listen to the radio more recently. There is good news."

After Leader Qiu left, the dean saw that Li Mu didn't seem to understand and said with a smile: "From what Leader Qiu said, I'm afraid your improved incandescent lamp will cause quite a stir!"

Li Mu forced a smile and said, "It would be good if it can be useful to the country."

Upon hearing this, the dean praised Li Mu a few more times and suddenly asked:

"By the way, Li Mu, after you graduate, do you want to stay in school, go to graduate school, or go to a government agency?"

Although Leader Qiu did not say it explicitly before, one can see from his words that he values ​​Li Mu.

It’s just that Li Mu is only a sophomore, otherwise he would have snatched her away long ago.

"I just want to study now and haven't thought about these things yet." Li Mu thought about it and felt that this should be an extra reward given to him by the dean.

Normally, college students from Beijing Institute of Technology are assigned to work in various units only after graduation.

And we always follow the principle of going wherever there is a need.

The fact that he could ask this question meant that as long as Li Mu opened his mouth, he would most likely be transferred to some unit after graduation.

"Okay, you're only a sophomore, don't worry about these things, it won't be too late to decide later." The dean waved his hand and didn't mention the matter anymore.

Afterwards, the dean spoke for a while before taking the rest of the people away.

After everyone left, the neighbors who had been looking around for a while in the yard started talking heatedly:
"See? The one at the head has four pockets on his chest. Tsk tsk..." "What's wrong with four pockets? What's so strange about that? I still have two."

"You are so stupid, you really think it just has four pockets, that's what big leaders wear!"

……

Li Mu couldn't fall asleep after hearing this noise, so he got up and washed his face.

Go back and continue watching the video.

Not long after, Grandma Li came back in a hurry and said, "Xiao Mu, I heard that a large group of people came to our house at noon. What happened?"

"It's nothing. It's just that the leaders from the school and Kyoto First Machinery Department came to see me." Li Mu quickly calmed Grandma Li.

"So many people come to see you?" Grandma Li was still confused.

There was only one last time, why are there so many this time?

"I made something that caught the attention of the higher-ups. Look, they gave me a bonus of 180 yuan." Li Mu smiled and took out the money in his hand.

"Oh my God! So much money!" Grandma Li couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw a stack of brand new 10-yuan banknotes with images of workers and peasants printed on them!
This was the first time she had seen so much money.

Li Mu handed the money to Grandma Li and said, "With this money, our family will be able to live a much easier life."

"My eldest grandson has made great progress. He has made great progress!" Grandma Li held the money and couldn't help but tears in her eyes.

I thought we would have to endure a few more years of hardship, and the situation at home would only get better after Li Mu graduated.

I didn’t expect that Li Mu could get so much bonus while he is still studying.

Just then, a voice came from outside: "Grandma Li, what happened just now? Why did so many people come to your house?"

Grandma Li quickly put away the money, leaving only two bills, and replied: "Xiao Mu is doing well in school, and the leaders above came to praise him."

"Look, there's even a bonus of 20 dollars!"

Although they are all neighbors, they don’t show off their wealth. And 180 yuan would make people jealous.

"Oh, really, 20 yuan!" someone said in shock.

"It's still a brand new 20 yuan. Grandma Li, your eldest grandson is really capable!" An aunt said with envy on her face.

This 20 yuan bonus is almost as much as her monthly salary!

Uncle Zhong who came over saw something else: "What do you know? The bonus is secondary. The key is the leaders who came to see Xiao Li."

"Yeah, I saw a lot of leaders coming over wearing four-pocket clothes, it scared me!"

"Those leaders are more powerful than our factory director. They must be big leaders."

Uncle Zhong couldn't help but ask: "Grandma Li, do you know where these leaders are from?"

The neighbors were also curious.

"I heard from Xiao Mu that there is a Kyoto First Machinery Department in the school." Grandma Li said with pride.

A worker who knew about this immediately screamed out: "Kyoto First Machinery Department! That's the unit that manages all the factories in Kyoto!"

Looking at the shocked or envious expressions of the neighbors, the smile on Grandma Li's face became even more intense.

Usually there are trivial matters in the courtyard, and it is rare to have such a big event, which has become a topic of discussion for everyone.

It’s not enough to say it in your own courtyard, you also have to tell people in other courtyards: “Do you know that there is a college student in our courtyard? He is very awesome!”
