Chapter 181
The other party remembered Xu Man, and when Xu Man’s brain was rapidly mobilizing his brain cells to recall, he took the initiative to get up and exchange pleasantries with Xu Man, “Comrade Xiao Xu, I really didn’t expect to see you again! I’ve always wanted to see you again, but I never had the chance This time, I’ve finally met you!”
The principal also followed suit, “I’ve always known that Xu Man is very good, but I really didn’t know that you were this good You don’t know how hard it is for me to invite Academician Liu to give a lecture in school! Once I heard that you came, he deliberately pushed a few meetings over to the school today, after the lecture also waited for you ”
Principal look at the table, “are almost an hour”
Academician Liu was the leader of the research group on wind power generation
Xu Wen remembered
He was flattered
Xu Man was busy bending over and saluting, “Good day Academician Liu! Good day, Principal! I’m sorry I’m late, I’ve kept you waiting”
The principal waved his hand, “It wasn’t your intention to fail to contact you Come, come, sit down and chat”
Xu Man turned around, the door that was just hidden has been completely closed
Xu Man: “”
Outside the door is Mulan’s sister-in-law
She accompanied Xu Man to the door and refused to come in
Xu wanted her to join her, because they weren’t really in an employment relationship, and it felt bad to leave her in the hallway by herself
Mulan’s sister-in-law didn’t really think of herself as a bodyguard, but she was instinctively in awe of the principal’s office
Most underclassmen didn’t like to be near teachers and teachers’ offices
This teacher also included the principal
In the words of Mulan’s sister-in-law, “I’d rather hang from a stake for an hour than spend five minutes with a teacher”
Xu Man wasn’t a bad student, and she didn’t reject the idea of spending time with her teachers, but facing two respected seniors like the principal and Academician Liu put her under pressure
She waited for the principal and Academician Liu to take their seats before sitting down on the sofa below them
Really is sitting, is the kind of look very dignified and comfortable, but in fact the large sofa can only sit on the edge, half of the buttocks are hanging in the air practice
He also had a special eye for the principal and Academician Liu to fill up the tea
“Speaking of which, our industry and technology is still not developed enough If people can contact each other without being bound by distance, and can contact each other whenever they want to, then a lot of ineffective waiting time can be avoided” Dean Liu lamented
Hearing this, Xu Man busily said, “I came to see the principal today just for this I have an immature idea about what Academician Liu said like this Without being bound by space and distance, you can contact each other if you want to”
The principal and Academician Liu looked at each other both came to be interested, “Tell me”
“It’s like this When we make a phone call now, we can only contact each other through wires For example, it’s installing a phone at a fixed point and calling another fixed point If we remove the wires from the telephone, shrink the telephone a few times more into a small size that can be put in a pocket and taken away at any time, and then realize the function of talking at any time, wouldn’t it be more convenient?
For example, like just now, I wasn’t at the guest house when the counselor notified me, if I had such a cell phone on me, no matter where I was, the counselor called me I would be able to get here at the first time I received the call”
Academician Liu narrowed his eyes, “If this is the case, that would be so convenient!”
The principal nodded as well, “Why, do you have something specific in mind? Expand on it!”
“We can change wired communication into wireless communication or even satellite communication ,” Xu Man expressed the ventriloquism he had typed up long ago in as simple a language as possible
Cell phones were all over the streets in the future, and a palm-sized cell phone combined the functions of a camera, computer, and telephone into one
But that was the future
In the 1980s, computers weren’t thin LCD screens, and big-ass color TVs were hard to come by
Ordinary people’s homes are not even connected to the electricity, such as the entire Weizhuang Commune, many brigades are not connected to the electricity
Everything that was within reach in the future and was taken for granted in daily life was still a luxury that could not be imagined in the 1980s
At the very least, the two men sitting with Xu Man were considered experts in their respective fields, and were the real deal
Both of them were impressed by Xu Man’s description of the cell phone
The cell phone Xu Man was talking about was still the most primitive, but it was the shape of a big brother or a blue screen cell phone
In this way, the two big brothers still listened very seriously, by Xu Man’s “bold” assumptions are bluffed a blank stare
Xu Man also took the opportunity to propose that he needed a team and a laboratory to engage in related research, hoping to get the principal’s support
The principal pondered for a long time, but still refused Xu Man’s request, “What you’ve said is indeed very appealing Personally, I agree and am willing to support you But the faculty and students of our various majors are all leaders in their own fields Every professor comes with a program, and their students are following them in their programs
As for our school, there are only so many resources, and we may not be able to deploy them at the moment
Of course, your idea is very good and well worth looking into I’ll try my best to arrange it, it’s just that I’ll definitely have to wait in line”
Xu Man was a little disappointed but not surprised
This was the nation’s most, most top-notch academy, home to the most renowned professors and the most talented students
Xu Man’s class was the first class after the resumption of the college entrance examination, and there had been a ten-year gap in between
It is the year when scholars are not enough
Many of the projects that had been accumulated for ten years had only begun to enter into research in the past two years, and time, energy, and personnel had been drastically taken up
Like the principal said, resources were limited, and even the best projects had to be lined up, one by one
Although Dean Liu was also very interested in Xu asked’s proposal, his area of responsibility was not this one, and said that he would do what he could to help Xu asked
Xu Man thanked her and was ready to leave, only to be dragged by Dean Liu to talk for a while
It was nothing more than asking her about Rainbow Island’s current situation
By the way, he mentioned to Xu Man that because of Xu Man’s “inventions”, our country has now far surpassed the international level in the area of wind power generation, and is on the cutting edge of the world
“I heard from your principal that you’re going back to school this time mainly to finish your thesis in preparation for graduation?”
“Right” Xu Man nodded
“Any plans after graduation?”
The principal interjected, “Academician Liu, it’s not appropriate for you to try to poach my student right in front of me, is it?!”
Academician Liu hummed lightly, “What’s inappropriate? Isn’t the purpose of your teaching and educating people to deliver talents to society? Isn’t it reasonable for me to miss a talent like student Xu Man?”
“That’s true” The principal turned back and pointed at his desk, “There are many organizations that want to recruit Mr Xu Man! There’s a huge pile of invitations on my desk alone, so it’s not appropriate for you to jump the queue”
Xu Wen: “”
Why did she, as the person in question, not know anything?
The principal saw Xu Man froze and explained with a smile, “Don’t get me wrong, Xu Man, it’s not that we’re withholding your letters The main thing is that you said before that you wouldn’t accept an assigned job when you graduated, so it’s not good for us to take liberties These invitations are all recent and you’re all coming to school so we haven’t forwarded them to you again”
The carriages and horses were very slow now, and it would have to take quite a while for these letters to be sent to Rainbow Island
Maybe they would have to miss with Xu Wen
So the counselor reported it to the department, and when the department heard that Xu Man had come over to look for him they sent him all the invitations
“Not accepting the assigned job?” Academician Liu was very surprised, “Why?”
Graduates of prestigious universities were assigned jobs that were not only iron rice bowls but also jobs that everyone envied
Like Xu Man’s specialty, she might be able to enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
She actually refused outright?
Xu Man smiled embarrassedly, “I was thinking that I’ve already wasted the country’s educational resources and taken up places Just don’t waste any more public resources”
Not to mention the principal, even Academician Liu disagreed, “How can a talent like you be a waste of public resources? As long as you are willing I can apply for a special appointment for you”
Into the Chinese Academy of Sciences?
In his previous life, Xu Man was afraid that he would wake up laughing in his dreams, right?
Even in this life, Xu Man had that momentary hesitation
The temptation was just too great
But in the end, Xu Man shook his head and refused
“Academician Liu, I sincerely thank you for your appreciation But you all know about my lover’s occupation, both of you are always away from home and can’t take care of your family We have two children at home now, so if I have to pick a busy job as well, my children won’t be able to take care of me Besides, I’ve opened a factory on Rainbow Island, and I’ve settled some folks from my hometown
I can’t just put them down for the sake of my own future”
Xu Man felt that saying these words should be a particularly unproductive thing in the eyes of these bigwigs
Just like what Tan Changlin had said about her, it was too selfish
But, bigots were bigots
Not only did Academician Liu not run down Xu Man like Tan Changlin did, he even complimented Xu Man for being a responsible person
He also said that he hoped Xu Man would give it some more thought, and that he could even discuss it with Lu Yuanzheng, so that Lu Yuanzheng could transfer back to the local area and come to the capital together
That way the family could still be together
The principal said that if that was the case, he hoped that Xu Man could consider staying at the school to teach
Xu Man was too embarrassed to refuse and said that he would go back and think about it
Academician Liu really liked Xu Man, and said he wanted to invite him to dinner tonight
Xu Man, on the other hand, said that he was the junior, so he should treat himself to the meal
The modesty of the two was interrupted by the principal, who asked Academician Liu, “Have you forgotten that we have a dinner tonight that we can’t put off?”
Academician Liu slapped his head, “Look, I was too happy chatting with Comrade Xiao Xu! I almost forgot about it”
Xu Man said that he would pay a visit some other time, and then led Mulan’s sister-in-law out of the principal’s office
Because of Academician Liu, Xu Man stayed longer than expected, and it was dark when he came out
Mulan’s sister-in-law touched her stomach and cried out for hunger
“What do you want to eat at night? Let s ”
“We are not going out, we have to go back to the guest house I feel like my relatives should be here or coming”
Xu asked, “”
“Sister-in-law, I’m really sorry, you’re not feeling well and still let stand outside for so long”
“Don’t you be polite again! I’m in good health, I won’t have a sore back and stomach when I come to relatives I’m just afraid of getting my clothes dirty So don’t thank me again!”
Xu Man had no choice but to swallow his words of thanks
Xu Man’s factory now has not only diapers, but also sanitary napkins
They were produced in small batches, not for profit for the time being, but only for the convenience of himself, his loved ones, and the Rainbow Island crowd
He had also brought some with him on this visit, which came in handy
Mulan’s sister-in-law was also a beneficiary
When she finished changing her clothes, the two went to the cafeteria
In the end, the hospitality center had the word “army” in front of it, so even though it was a cafeteria, it still had a serious and clean look to it
It was almost past the meal time, and there were only a few people in the cafeteria
Xu Man and Mulan’s wife picked a table by the window and sat down
While they waited for the food to be served, the two chatted
“How did you talk to your principal? Did he agree to your request?”
Xu Wen shook his head and let out a long sigh, “No!”
Mulan’s sister-in-law gave a “Huh?” Mulan’s sister-in-law let out an “Ah?”, her expression looking even more disappointed than Xu Man’s, “So, it’s hopeless? Your school doesn’t support such a good program?”
“It’s not a lack of support It’s the lack of talent” This was the true feeling of Xu after chatting with the two of them, “The college entrance exams have been stopped for so many years in our midst, coupled with the fact that there is still a considerable gap between our country and the world’s powerhouses in certain aspects, there are too many aspects that we need to catch up with, but there are too few talented people that can play the lead role!”
Xu Man was just a commoner, and wasn’t very good at evaluating whether or not this phenomenon was a national problem
Some time ago, there was no college entrance exam, you couldn’t study abroad, there was a talent gap, and now there was a lack of comparatively top talent in all walks of life
So all the professors in her alma mater now have more than one project in their hands, not to mention her older siblings, but also a lot of younger siblings have joined their mentor’s research program
Indeed, there is no talent available
It’s like decades later, when college students are all over the streets, and many 985/211 students are even delivering food because they can’t find ideal jobs
In the 1980s, even secondary school students were rare and highly educated
For the first time, Xu Man realized that probably more important than making money was having to enlist talent
“So that satellite phone can’t be made?”
Just as the meal delivery master came over, Xu Man took the initiative to reach out and accept the bowl and plate to say thank you before speaking, “It’s not that it can’t be done, it’s just that it might be quite a bit more troublesome than expected, and of course troublesome in and of itself”
“Can’t you do it yourself? If you can, we’ll study it ourselves on Rainbow Island”
“It’s not that simple” Xu Wen smiled bitterly, she was cheating on the basis of having a golden finger
This kind of golden finger had no practical significance for things like developing cell phones or satellite calls, but for professional talents, once these theoretical things were told to them, they could roughly give an example to make it
It’s the equivalent of an inspiration tip, but in the end it’s not as easy as cooking and watching a tutorial
Whether it’s good or not, you can at least cook it by following the tutorial
If a search for the theory can be made, then after a few decades will not be because of the chip reason by some foreign companies hostage for so long
All cell phones are chip-related, except for the Big Brother, which uses a radio to transmit signals
At first Motorola had a monopoly for up to two years until it was sanctioned by anti-trust laws because it had the core technology for digital communications
So the matter of building a cell phone and realizing satellite calls was definitely not something Xu Man himself could tinker with by relying on the help of the Magic Mirror
A professional team was needed
Xu Man tried his best to switch to easy-to-understand words to explain to Mulan’s sister-in-law, “What I want to make is divided into hardware and software Tan Changlin will help me with the software part But the hardware part also involves more complicated technology and requires many parts The most important one is called the chip
Think about it, we all need a wire to make a phone call now, and after removing this wire, if you still want to make a phone call anytime, anywhere, you’ll need ”
Mulan’s sister-in-law was listening to the clouds, it was too difficult for her
On the contrary, the waiter who brought food to the two of them wasn’t really a waiter, was he?
Just an older man with almost white hair and an apron tied around his waist, he put the meal down for the two of them and then started to clean up the surrounding tables again
Most of the tables were clean and just needed a simple wipe down
The only thing is that the old man seemed to be mesmerized by Xu’s conversation, and took a rag and wiped back and forth on the table next to theirs
Just wipe one place
Mulan’s sister-in-law yawned as she listened to the conversation, looked sideways just in time to see it, and was delighted, “Master, if you keep wiping, that table should be broken!”
The first thing you need to do is to get a good look at the table, and then you can see that the table is not broken
Mulan’s sister-in-law ah, “You can understand?”
She was a young person who didn’t understand, but a cooking master in the guesthouse did?
The old man didn’t say whether he understood or not, but pulled out a chair and sat down at their table, looking at Xu Man, “Little comrade, what’s your name?”
Xu Man hesitated, but out of respect for the elders, he still gave his name: “My name is Xu Man”
“Not a bad name! Comrade Xu, I just listened to you talk about this cell phone ah satellite call How far have you gotten with this research?”
“As far as what you just heard It’s just limited to verbal conceptualization”
“If you were given enough people and funds for your research, how long do you think it would take for you to realize what you said about talking to another person in real time from anywhere in the world?”
Xu Man was actually quite tempted to say back, no more than twenty years at the longest
By the millennium there would have been cell phones already
However, with this grandpa’s face full of anticipation and seriousness, Xu Man withdrew his joke in the end and honestly shook his head, “I don’t know It depends on the technicians and the funding situation”
“Comrade Xiao Xu, you’re a student at Beijing University?”
“Right”
“Then why are you living here?”
“I’m here to write my dissertation There’s no dormitory on campus, so I came to the guest house My lover is a soldier”
moncler outlet store nodded and didn’t say anything But he didn’t leave either, sitting at the table with a pensive look on his face
Xu Wen and Mulan’s sister-in-law glanced at each other, and both of them were puzzled in their eyes
They wondered what was wrong with the grandpa
If it wasn’t in the army’s guest house, the two of them would have to wonder if moncler outlet online the motives were impure
After all, the eighties did not have densely packed cameras
Since moncler outlet online he was contemplating and didn’t seem to have any malicious intent, the two of them were too embarrassed to call moncler outlet online him out, and could only pick up their meals in silence
Until both of them had eaten their fill, the grandpa was still in a daze, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the desktop, his face serious
Xu Wen and Mulan’s sister-in-law exchanged a glance, and gently pulled out the chair to get up and prepare to leave
At that moment, another man walked in, wearing an old army uniform, with a limp, looking around and seeing the man sitting at the table rushed over, “My old leader! I’m sorry, but I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to get a good deal on this one I’m just getting off work, let’s go somewhere else and have a drink” moncler outlet store online
The previous moncler outlet store was awakened and stood up, “I didn’t lose him! Just listening to this ” he pointed to Xu, “the little comrade said something particularly interesting, thought of some things”
The moncler jackets for men who came in after him glanced at Xu Wen and Mulan’s sister-in-law and nodded as a greeting
The first moncler outlet store to come in first told Xu Man, “Little comrade, do you want to consider that study of yours for our troop to do?”
Xu asked: “?
She said, “Ah?” She let out a cry, not reacting for a moment
“Our troop also has a research institute There are a lot of research units in there as well, and we have the money and the talent So do you want to consider us?”
Xu asked, “”
There was an institute in the army as well?
Xu Man knew very little about the troops, and the only ones he usually came into contact with were the officers and soldiers of combat units like Lu Yuanzheng and the others
The other types of troops that he had seen were the officers and soldiers of the civilian corps moncler outlet online
moncler outlet online About Xu Man’s reluctance, he continued to raise the stakes, “Comrade Xiao Xu, didn’t you say that your lover is serving on a remote island? How about this! How about you promise to come to the institute and I’ll transfer him over here to accompany you?”
Xu asked, “”
A moncler is a moncler
No matter which era, a grandpa will give you a surprise
Xu Man, who had received a shock, rounded his eyes and forgot to reply for a moment
“If you’re willing, I can also put you to work and be able to keep you couple in one place”
Xu Man took a deep breath, “Forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, and you are?”
With such a big mouth, if it wasn’t bragging then it must be a general-level cadre
The grandpa who came in afterward reported a job title
Neither Xu Wen nor Mulan’s sister-in-law had ever heard of it, but by the looks of it, it should be a very, very big official
Big enough to have a say in the navy, army, and air force moncler outlet store online
Grandpa Huang managed to scare Xu Man
Mulan’s sister-in-law was also a bit intimidated after hearing this
Xu Man thought for a moment and spoke, “Thank you for your love, can I ask why you’re so supportive of me?”
“I think that idea of yours is good If it really materializes, it will play a very important role in combat as well!”
I should say quite important
It was equivalent to being able to remotely control the entire army in real time
That would be too powerful
Spending even more manpower and financial resources would be worth it
“Alright, I promise!” Xu Man nodded, “However, there’s no need for this matter of having my lover transferred He loves his current unit and his current job”
Grandpa Huang gave her a meaningful look, “If he likes it any more, he has to obey the arrangement, and has to focus on the big picture”
Xu asked, “”
Not waiting for Xu Man to reply, moncler outlet online Huang waved his hand, “Then it’s a deal, I’ll have someone pick you up tomorrow!”
After saying this, he walked out one after the other with the grandpa who came in after him
Mulan sister-in-law na na na, “Ask sister-in-law, you pinch me down”
Xu asked, “”
“No need to pinch, you’re not dreaming”
“Before I came, I knew that following you out would increase my knowledge, but I never dreamed that I would grow so much knowledge!”
Xu asked, “”
She also really didn’t expect it
Who would have thought that a grandpa who delivers food and wipes tables at the army’s guest house would have this kind of identity and background?
He’s not even surrounded by people, but he’s also so grounded It’s a bit surreal
Mulan’s sister-in-law went on strike
She refused to accompany Xu Man to see Master Huang
“Ask sister-in-law, please spare me! My legs are weak at the sight of the Grand Master”
Xu Man also struck fear, still trying to persuade Mulan’s sister-in-law, “Sister-in-law, you promised to protect me!”
“Comrade Ask, trust me! With Big Master, no one dares to hit on you Lu Yuanzheng can’t even!”
Xu Man: “”
Xu Man ended up going it alone
Luckily, Grandpa Huang had sent someone to pick her up, not to let her face Grandpa Huang directly
When it comes to a level like Master Huang, it’s basically about the same as a martial arts master returning to the basics
Usually looks like a sweeper, really something to realize how powerful people
Like Mulan’s sister-in-law said, when she didn’t know the identity of Master Huang, she just thought he was a cafeteria cleaner
But now that I know, I’m afraid to talk to him
moncler outlet store Huang’s residence is not in the compound, he is a single house with a guard at the entrance
Receiving Xu Man’s moncler outlet store Huang wore a more Beijing-style housecoat, and was as approachable as he was yesterday
He sat at a round table in the living room, with slightly younger ones sitting next to him
Behind moncler outlet online Huang stood a heavily armed soldier on each side
The moncler jackets for sale shadow of his youth can still be seen in his errands, the army style is very strong, there is almost no nonsense, after seeing Xu Wen a few simple pleasantries, he went straight to the point
“This is our minister Song, he is responsible for the research In the future, you have what you need to directly find him” Mr Huang pointed to the person sitting next to him
Minister Song was obviously quite a bit younger, and looked well-mannered
Xu Man was busy taking the initiative to extend his hand in greeting, “Good day Minister Song”
“Hello comrade Xu Man, I heard the leader say your idea It’s indeed good, you can tell me your requirements, and I’ll match you with the appropriate manpower”
And so Xu Man re-explained wireless communication, satellite communication, and cell phones like he had told Academician Liu and the principal yesterday The purpose of the functions that could be realized by combining them together in this way, as well as the principles
Both Grandpa Huang and Minister Song listened attentively, and when they were done, Grandpa Huang clapped his hands, “Look! The person I recommended to you is not bad, right!”
Minister Song nodded repeatedly, “Comrade Xu Wen, when can you start? When will you start when will the people and funds be in place”
Xu Man: “”
Rather, there was no need to be so efficient
Xu Man thought about it and shook his head, “I can’t be inducted This project I want to give to the troops What I mean is that I won’t sign my name to all the results of the research and development I won’t be responsible for the main work either, but I can teach the project team’s R&D staff all that I know”
Her meaning was very simple, that is, I’ll come up with the theory, you guys will do the R&D, and I won’t take up any of the results
Not to mention Minister Song, even the very knowledgeable and experienced Master Huang was puzzled: “Why?”
If this is done, it will definitely leave a colorful mark in the history books
Xu Wen can’t say, I cheated, these are the results of other people’s research and development after several decades, I just want to call my object so I borrowed it in advance
After a long time, she said: ”I am an ordinary citizen who just wants to live an ordinary life I’m happy if I can help the troops! There’s really no need for anything else Also I’m a commoner, compared to working I’d probably prefer to be a businessman, the self-employed that the country has started to support in the past two years
To tell you the truth, I opened a small factory, making diapers for kids”
moncler huang: “”
Minister Song: “”
Xu Wen saw their expressions, and for a moment, she wanted to give herself credit
She knew that when she reached moncler outlet online Huang’s position, it was difficult to have any noticeable fluctuations in mood
To be able to make him show such an almost “dumbfounded” expression, Xu Man didn’t know whether to be ashamed or proud for a moment
Although they didn’t say anything in the end, Xu Wen felt that what they were thinking was similar to what Tan Changlin had said about her
Waste of talent!
No talent!
Small pattern!
In the main, Xu Man really didn’t have the means to justify enjoying the fame and fortune brought about by cheating
Nor did she want to use her golden finger to endeavor to delve into a certain scientific research that didn’t exist right now
She had lived twenty-four years in her last life, and more than twenty of them had been spent in school
In this life, she really didn’t have much to offer, so she wanted to be salty
With certain material conditions met, she was free to enjoy her life
In the end, Grandpa Huang and Minister Song still respected Xu Man’s idea
So for the next period of time, Xu Man wrote his thesis and marketed diapers at the same time, and he also had to find time to hand over information to the cell phone project team formed by Minister Song
The army was very safe, so Mulan’s wife basically didn’t need to worry about Xu Man’s safety, and was happy to wander around on her own
Anyway, she is not afraid of thieves because of her good hands, and she is particularly happy to play by herself
Today she climbed the Great Wall and tomorrow she visited the Forbidden City
In contrast, Xu Man was a bit anxious
Because she has suddenly become the meat and potatoes that everyone is competing for
Said everyone is not accurate, is the party scramble
Academician Liu, through his own connections, said that he could provide Xu Man with a research team
The principal also said that he would take command and temporarily get a lab to take Xu Man to study her satellite and cell phone projects
Xu Man didn’t expect it to develop like this
He had to be honest
I thought this would be the end of it
Who knew that Academician Liu directly asked the military for people and projects
Saying that Xu Man’s use of this project in the army was too limited, and that it should be for the benefit of the whole country, the people of the country including their officers and soldiers
The principal, on the other hand, said that Xu Man hadn’t graduated yet, and that this belonged to a research project in the school
Minister Song directly said that the research has begun, but also let Academician Liu, they rest assured that the results of the research will be used for the benefit of the people will not be exclusive
After Xu Man realized that he was a man of few words, he said, “You big brothers will discuss among yourselves, and I will help whoever you say will do it I’m just a tool who has no say in the matter”
While the bigwigs fought over the project, Xu Man finished his thesis
Like Tan Changlin said, this kind of thesis was really not stressful for Xu Man, it was just a matter of a few weeks
The diaper sales were also very successful
After all, this was the capital, a place where it was said that if a billboard fell and killed ten people, seven would be cadres
There are a lot of rich people, a lot of people who eat public food, and they respond positively to family planning
So the orders came to Xu like snowflakes
Every day, Mr Xu had to send telegrams back to Rainbow Island for additional orders
In addition, she often lamented, “If only I had a cell phone!”
After all, Xu Man was a mother, and her thoughts about her two children were getting worse and worse
As soon as she finished writing her thesis, she printed out all the information she knew related to cell phones and satellite communications and left it with Tan Changlin
Waiting for the bigwigs to divide the winners and losers, he was asked to submit the information on his behalf, and he himself and sister-in-law Mulan directly took a plane back to Rainbow Island
“Sister-in-law, when you come out next time, remember to bring me along again” Mulan’s sister-in-law still had a look of unfulfilled interest after boarding the plane, “Following you out, not only do I gain insight but I also get to experience a lot of new things”
She patted the seat underneath her, “I didn’t think I’d have a day in my life to get on an airplane”
The airplanes of the early eighties were actually very simple, but they were rare for most of the country
Although Sister-in-law Mulan tried to suppress her excitement and tried not to act like Grandma Liu who was strolling through the Grand View Garden, she was still inevitably a bit squeamish
To Xu Wen, airplanes were a very familiar mode of transportation
However, she hadn’t ridden one in a few years since she crossed over, and she still missed it a little
Just nostalgia
The airplanes at this time were still very different from the future
To be exact, airplanes are all airplanes, but other things are different
For example, flight attendants
Decades later, the stewardess, a uniform, shapely body, makeup exquisite
Now the stewardesses, dressed in industrial and agricultural blue, look simple and friendly
For example, meals
Decades after the airplane meal is mostly fast food products, what rice hamburger noodles and so on
Most of the drinks are coffee and orange juice
Nowadays, the meals are more grounded, such as wine and meat
Xu Man was recently exhausted in order to catch up with the progress, and began to close his eyes and rest after the airplane lifted off smoothly
Mulan’s sister-in-law was especially excited about her first time on an airplane, wriggling around in her seat, but she was afraid of disturbing Xu Man, so she was full of excitement that she could only enjoy it alone
The airplane could only go as far as Hai Cheng, and they still had to take a boat from Hai Cheng to Rainbow Island
This section of the road is the most time-consuming, and do long-distance bus is almost the same, by boat to five or six hours, or direct
By the time they reached the shore on Rainbow Island, they could just about see the first light of day
Though he was longing for it, Xu Man still restrained himself and went back to the wooden house
At this hour, Xu Qiushi and his wife should have taken their children to rest
Xu Man and his sister-in-law Mulan went back to their respective homes in the family area
Xu Man took a shower to wash away his fatigue
In fact, he still wanted to sleep, but he missed his children more
He also missed Lu Yuanzheng
It’s just that compared to Lu Yuanzheng, who is floating around somewhere, Xiachu and Dongsheng are close by and easier to touch
After a long time, Xu Man drove the small tram to Xu Qiushi and Zhu Meizhen’s residence
From a distance, he could see a half-built stone house
Both Zhu Meizhen and Xu Qiusi had the habit of waking up early, and when Xu Man arrived, the two of them had just gotten up and were washing up
“Ask? When did you come back?” Zhu Meizhen looked surprised
“Just arrived a while ago”
“Xiachu is in our bed, Dongsheng slept with Xu Che, go see them”
Xu Wen hmmmed, first went to see little Xiachu, gave her a kiss on her chubby little face, little Xiachu’s lotus root-like little chubby hands scratched her face
Xu Man’s heart was instantly warm and satisfied, and he lowered his head to kiss her again
Little Xiachu mayfly, opened her eyes, saw Xu Man, reached out and wrapped her arms around her, her little mouth chanting, “Ma Ma!”
Waiting for the hand touched Xu Wen, moved, small hand hard to touch, eeked out, long eyelashes fan a few times, slowly opened his eyes, see Xu Wen, a bony climb up, “Ma Ma! Ma Ma!”
Xu Wen reached out and hugged her, “Xiao Xiachu, Ma Ma misses you so much!”
Xiao Xiachu does not quite understand what it means to want, holding Xu Man’s face a kiss to express their joy and longing, nibbled Xu Man a face of saliva
When Xiao Xiachu’s mood stabilized, Xu Man picked her up, “Let’s go, let’s go find brother, okay? Mommy misses brother too”
Little Xiachu tightly wrapped her arms around Xu Man’s neck and pressed herself against Xu Man’s face in silent protest
“You and brother are both mommy’s children! If you want to monopolize mommy, brother will be sad”
Only then did Little Xiachu reluctantly plop down on Xu Man’s shoulders
Xu Man hugged Little Xiachu and pushed open Dongsheng and Xu Che’s door
The two half-grown boys were sleeping on the bunk beds, and neither of them looked good
The room was not hot, and both people were covered with thin blankets
Xu Wen also gently kissed Dongsheng
Dongsheng played happily during the day and slept heavily at night, not much reaction
Xu Man didn’t bother him anymore, and hugged Xia Chu as he gently walked out the door
Zhu Meizhen was cooking, Xu Qiushi looked at the sky and naturally muttered to himself, “Open door wind, closed door rain This is going to change the sky!”
Xu Man looked at the sun that was about to show its head, and really didn’t see anything that looked like a change in the sky
Instead, he felt the “open door wind”
“Dad, you still know how to read the weather?” Xu Wen opened her mouth to tease Xu Qiushi
Xu Qiushi turned around to look at the mother and daughter, first pointing at Xiachu and complaining, “You little girl! Shouting for mommy every day, are you still making a scene when you find her?”
Xia Chu also knew that she was talking about her, giggling, she wrapped her arms around Xu Man’s neck and didn’t let go
Xu Qiushi nodded at Xiachu twice, “You just came from those two days and didn’t really look for you The last few days, I’ve been thinking about you so much that I’ve been asking for you He still has to hug your clothes before he sleeps”
Xu Wen’s face pressed against Xia Chu’s face, listening with heartache, “I’ll try to bring her next time”
Xu Qiushi pointed at Xu Che’s room again, “Dongsheng too That child doesn’t say anything on his face, but at night, he secretly cries because he misses you Xu Che has heard it twice”
Xu Man felt even more guilty
Xu Qiushi was only telling Xu Man that the children missed her, and didn’t want her to feel sad as well, so he quickly changed the topic, “You say, there won’t be a typhoon on this island, right?”
