Military Industry of Great Powers: Build the Strongest Flanker

Zhao Guoqing called Xidian University of Automation, but after another unsuccessful attempt, he sent a letter telling Yang Qing the address of Lucheng. Once he came out of the mountains, it would be much easier to contact him in the future.

In more than half a year, they only exchanged a few letters.

With Ji Hongbo here, Zhao Guoqing does not have to worry about many trivial matters. He and Du Chuming will discuss the placement of the fifty-seven people. This is a laborious matter. The hardware conditions are not available for the time being, so it can only occupy some resources of the University of Science and Technology. .

At this time, Zhao Guoqing packed up his luggage and embarked on the journey home.

I took a train from the capital to Jinling, walked around Xuanwu Lake, and bought a ticket to Huai'an. Hongze stopped at Huai'an and got off at the county seat. It was still a dozen kilometers of dirt road to the village, and the bus hadn't reached it yet. Countryside.

Teacher Xiao Zhao was also generous. He bought a permanent parallel-bar bicycle directly from the county supply and marketing cooperative. He had more than 2,000 yuan in his pocket. There were still some subsidies for the success of the Eagle Eye project.

By the mid-1980s, a ticket was no longer required to buy a bicycle. If it were not difficult to carry it, Zhao Guoqing would like to buy a TV set to carry it with him. Today’s TV sets are not cheap. A 14-inch black and white TV costs 400. A 17-inch model costs more than 700, which is beyond the reach of ordinary families.

It was already the golden month of October, and everything was golden. Along the way, the villagers were busy harvesting rice, with smiles on their faces. There were many cattle trailers on the road. Those whose homes were far away from home used pallets. The harvested rice is dragged home for threshing by carts, while the rice that is close to the rice is picked directly with a pole.

They are all in good spirits. The problem of eating in Hongze has basically been solved. As long as they are willing to work hard on the ground, I have not heard of anyone going hungry. Basically, you can eat as much rice as you want, but it is not enough to eat well. There is still a little gap.

The happiest ones were the children. Zhao Guoqing saw groups of children picking up wheat ears on the ground with baskets and cleaning up the loaches in the ditch.

Just like what Zhao Guoqing did for several years, in the 1960s and 1970s, the ears of rice were also treasures!

These are not the only things the children are happy about. Farming is busy, and food is the second most important thing of the year after the Chinese New Year.

It is not an exaggeration to say that there is meat every day. Nowadays, the fields are divided into households. The whole family helps others, and the neighbors also help you. How can you do without some meat in the food? This is all hard work.

There is a pig farmer at home, and at this time, pigs are being slaughtered and sold for meat.

There are only two times in rural areas when the demand for meat is particularly high, one is the Chinese New Year and the other is busy farming.

The family kills the pigs, and the extra meat is set up on the roadside in a rack, and the meat is placed on the chopping board for sale.

The weather was dry and there was a layer of ash floating on the dirt road. When the wind blew, the ash got on the pork, but no one cared. They just bought it back and washed it. They were all farmers digging in the soil, so how could they find the soil dirty?

There are very few people riding bicycles on the road. Riding a brand-new bicycle like Zhao Guoqing is almost like driving a Mercedes-Benz and BMW into the village forty years later.

It didn't take long for someone to recognize him.

"Isn't that the number one scholar from Peiqiao Village?"

"The Number One Scholar is back home!"

Zhao Guoqing pushed the cart to say hello, and the third aunt set up a meat stall at the entrance of the village.

"Third Aunt, the pigs at home are quite fat!"

"Yes, it's National Day. How long will you stay here this time?"

"It's only a few days. I haven't been back for a long time. Let's go home and have a look!"

"well!"

"Third Aunt, has my rice been harvested?"

"Your mother said it would be tomorrow, and I would go to help with the work then. She just bought three kilograms of meat!"

"Third Aunt, let me get some more meat!"

He is also very greedy now. No one wants the four pig's trotters, and the pig's guts have been snatched away long ago. Fat intestines have always been considered the most affordable, as they are rich in oil and cheap, followed by pork belly, which has more lean meat. Hoof attention is minimal.

Zhao Guoqing packed up all the remaining meat at the meat stall.

Not far from the village entrance, there was a river. After riding along the river for five minutes, I saw my house.

Hongze's houses were all built along the river, and each house built a dock along the river. They washed cars and washed pots on their own docks.

There are three tile-roofed houses, plus a brick kitchen. There is no yard. Thirty or forty steps ahead on the right are brick toilets and pig pens. In front of the house is a large dirt field, which is each family's private dry land. Plant some canola and soybeans.

At this time, the rapeseed and soybeans have been harvested long ago. Water is sprinkled on the field, and manpower pulls the stone roller to compact it over and over again. At the same time, plant ash is sprinkled on the field to prevent the wet soil from sticking to the stone roller. It has to be pressed back and forth dozens of times. , the rice handles can be placed on the site. Generally, the rice handles do not stay overnight, and the rice grains are removed on the same day.

After the rice is threshed, it must be dried quickly, otherwise it will become moldy when it is stored in the warehouse.

If you pay the agricultural tax, the grain station will not collect it.

When Zhao Guoqing came home, he saw his father pulling Shi Nianzi and his mother busy in the kitchen.

"Dad, Mom!"

“National Day is back!”

Zhao Guoqing's mother, Zhen Xiufang, hurriedly put down what she was doing.

"Where did you get this car?"

"I bought it in the county town. The road is too far. I bought one and rode it back directly!"

"And I bought so much meat!"

Zhen Xiufang bowed and put the meat in the kitchen. After a while, she brought out two bowls of boiled rice dumplings and two poached eggs.

"Call your dad back and cook it for him too!"

Forty years of memories came flooding back in an instant, and they felt very familiar.

No matter where he goes, his mother doesn't say anything. She always thinks of getting a bowl of hot food first, and eggs must be prepared, for fear that he will be hungry.

This is true even for decades, when material conditions are extremely abundant and there is no pursuit of food and drink.

No matter how fat I am, I will always touch my face when meeting, muttering about not eating well, and losing weight again...

There are no steamed buns in the United States. I remember one time I wanted to eat them so much that I muttered. His mother kept thinking about it. Before she left, she even thought about going back to her hometown to cook a bowl of steamed buns for her child...

"Now that's great!"

Zhao Guoqing felt like he was enjoying every second. He ran outside the door and roared at the top of his lungs.

"Dad, it's time to eat some steamed buns!"

"Um!"

It's so comfortable, the buns are fragrant with sesame oil, and the poached eggs are filled with sugar. His mother always knows what he likes to eat the most, and there's even sugar sprinkled on top.

And his dad likes hard-boiled poached eggs. The egg yolks are broken into the dumpling soup, and it’s delicious when mixed with sugar water.

"What good food can you get here? It's very empty during National Day!"

"Yes, Mom, I want to take you to the city when I come back this time. If you cook for me, I will definitely not be free!"

His dad put down his chopsticks and shook his head.

"National Day, you should live your life well. How old is your father? He doesn't know anything in the city, and he doesn't have a serious job. It's just causing trouble for you!"
