Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 314
"A talent like you has been buried..." Duan Yun curled his lips, and continued, "But next year, I will definitely let your talent be put to good use."

"What are your plans for next year?" Cheng Qingyan asked suspiciously.

"Secret it first!" Duan Yun bought a pass and said, "I'll ask you if you can help me when the time comes?"

"I will definitely help with this kind of help, and you helped me improve that powerful shot blasting machine." Cheng Qingyan said very simply.

"It's enough to have you." Duan Yun said with a smile after hearing this.

"Why do I always feel that you have some conspiracy..." Cheng Qingyan said with a slight frown.

"Hahaha, then you should treat it as a conspiracy." Duan Yun smiled, glanced ahead, and said, "Okay, I'm home already, you can go back."

"En." Cheng Qingyan nodded, took a look at Duan Yun, and walked into the entrance of the unit.

After seeing Cheng Qingyan coming home, Duan Yun let out a sigh of relief, took out a cigarette and lit it, then turned around and went home...

……

For the next two days, Duan Yun went to work as usual.

With his own office, Duan Yun is much more convenient. He brought all the study materials from the night university and tutored his homework here during the day. After all, he missed a lot of courses in the previous month, in order to cope with the final exam at the end of the semester. , You need to sharpen your guns.

In the evening, Duan Yun and Cheng Qingyan continued to study in the library, living a fulfilling and comfortable life.

At the same time, Zhao Dongsheng has already started the process of retiring.

People take tea to cool off.

Zhao Dongsheng, who had devoted most of his youth and life to this factory, left quietly.

Also retiring like Zhao Dongsheng is an old chief of the quality inspection department. In order to send him off for retirement these days, the factory held various tea parties and symposiums. Highly appraised, recalling the past years, all kinds of praise, all kinds of memories, just like a warm hospice.

But Zhao Dongsheng didn't get this kind of treatment at all. Even the leaders in the factory didn't mention him much. A cold document was sent to Zhao Dongsheng's office. Keeping a distance from him, the relationship with colleagues for more than ten years is like a glass of cold water, without waves or temperature.

Zhao Dongsheng left the office quietly by himself, like a fallen leaf in autumn, once high above the sky, but finally withered away without a sound...

Duan Yun is just a deputy section chief. Although he has entered the ranks of middle-level cadres, he still has no real power in the factory. Naturally, he can't organize some activities so that Zhao Dongsheng can leave happily.

Duan Yun also wanted to hold a banquet for Zhao Dongsheng at the best restaurant in the city, but was finally rejected by Zhao Dongsheng himself.

Zhao Dongsheng had already taken a lot of things lightly at such an advanced age. He didn't like making troubles, and he didn't want to owe Duan Yun any favors. He just wanted to work hard in the factory after he settled down with Duan Yun.

Zhao Dongsheng's quiet departure made Duan Yun see something clearly.

In such a huge factory, thousands of workers are busy going to work every day. It looks prosperous, but sometimes it is cold and impersonal.

Such a factory is naturally not worthy of Duan Yun's lifelong dedication, he will not become the second Zhao Dongsheng, and from the very beginning, Duan Yun didn't intend to spend his whole life in the factory.

The rocket-like improvement in the past six months has brought Duan Yun closer and closer to his goal. In the new year, Duan Yun has his own big plans.

But now that the new year is coming, Duan Yun's mind is no longer in the factory. He needs to deal with the night university exam first, and then return to his hometown in Northeast China with his mother and sister to celebrate the new year.

With one week before the Spring Festival, the final exams for Yeda University began on Sunday.

Although there was a whole month of class missing, fortunately, Cheng Qingyan helped with tutoring these days, so Duan Yun felt that the test paper was not difficult, and the process of the test was quite smooth. After walking out of the test room, he checked the answers with a few classmates, A rough estimate should be stable above the passing line.

This made Duan Yun feel relieved. Passing the exam also means that he can finally have a good year with ease.

After returning home, Duan Yun and his mother packed their luggage in advance and prepared to go to the northeast.

Spring Festival transportation is a very difficult problem for any migrant workers in later generations, and it was the same in the 80s. Even because the railways were not well developed in this era, it was more like a tormenting journey.

There is no ticket limit for trains these days, and dozens or even hundreds of passengers can be crammed into a carriage. The aisles, luggage racks, and even the ground under the seats are all packed like canned sardines. , This kind of scene is hard to imagine in later generations.

Duan Yun didn't want his mother and sister to suffer. It took several days to travel from Daxing to his hometown in Northeast China, so he had to buy a sleeper ticket.

Spring Festival travel has made train sleeper tickets very difficult to buy. Apart from being expensive, soft sleepers even require a letter of introduction from the factory. Duan Yun made it easy for the factory to issue a letter of introduction, but his mother and younger sister did not have this qualification.

A few days ago, Duan Yun had arranged for Cao Dong to go to the train station to help him buy tickets. Daxing is a big city and also the starting point of a train line, so it is not impossible to get a sleeper ticket.

In addition, Daxing Railway Station has already had ticket scalpers these days, and the price is ridiculously high, but for Duan Yun, the price of a sleeper ticket of hundreds of yuan is completely acceptable.

After buying the train tickets, the mother and younger sister were very happy. Gao Xiuzhi also prepared some dry food early and prepared to take it to the train to eat.

In addition, my mother also prepared some local specialties in Daxing. After all, I can’t go there empty-handed when I go back to my hometown for the New Year.

Five days before the Spring Festival, Duan Yun's family finally got on the train to the Northeast.

The hard-seat car was full of people, and it was difficult to move in the crowded sleeper car, but the sleeper car where Duan Yun's family was in was a completely different scene. The flight attendant carried a thermos to pour water for the passengers inside one by one, and another flight attendant behind him was selling boiled eggs. And soda, melon seeds.

In the past, Duan Yun liked to buy instant noodles with mineral water when he took the train, but these days there are no such things. In addition, people drink mineral water these days and feel like drinking cold water, and no one will buy this kind of drink.

In the end, Duan Yun bought a few boiled eggs and two packs of melon seeds, and sat down on the lower bunk with his mother and sister to eat.

This was the first time for mother and younger sister to take the sleeping berth of the train. Duan Fang sat on the clean berth, her face was full of excitement, she pushed her brother aside, and forcibly occupied the seat by the window, looking at the scenery outside the window, A bright color flashed in the black eyes...
