Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 258 Dongfeng
During this period, teachers were leading delegations to participate in the 40th anniversary celebrations of the Soviet Union and attend meetings of representatives from various countries.

During the meeting, based on the characteristics of the international situation at that time, a judgment was made that the east wind would prevail over the west wind.

In the face of Da Su's statement that China could surpass Country M in 15 years, he proposed that my country should catch up with and surpass Country Y in the output of major industrial products such as steel in about 15 years.

Of course, some countries participating in the meeting also put forward their own goals of catching up.

However, the two sides clearly feel that there are varying degrees of differences on a series of major practical and practical issues.

The contradiction has expanded!

So the first five-year plan ended at the end of the year, and Dasu stopped investing in aid regardless of cost. If you want, you can buy it with real money, and if you don't have money, you can use supplies.

Without capital investment, the country cannot develop, so what should we do?

Therefore, at the beginning of next year, we proposed to "mobilize two initiatives" and rely on mobilizing domestic, especially local, financial funds to reluctantly stimulate the national economy, which is dominated by heavy industry.

But also "more, faster, easier and more economical"!
The central government has decentralized financial, planning and enterprise management rights on a large scale and called on local governments to develop "five small industries".

It was already very cold outside, and the stove was burning in the tavern. It felt much warmer after entering.

……

The tide of the times is rolling forward, and no one can stop it!
According to XH News Agency on November 11, more than 26 cadres have been decentralized during the rectification movement.

Xu Huizhen said with a smile: "Sure, our tavern will definitely not be left behind."

Zhao Yali said at this time: "When I turn around, I will let my half-grown boys catch sparrows. They are full of energy and are always naughty and mischievous when they are free."

According to the National Bureau of Statistics' fiscal revenue and expenditure statistics over the years, in 1958, the proportion of local fiscal expenditures in national fiscal expenditures rose sharply from 1957% in 29.0 to 55.7%.

"Huizhen, Huizhen!"

The director's wife laughed and said, "Well, I've been walking all the way, so I just happened to sit down and take a rest."

……

The director's wife said as she opened the thick curtain and entered the tavern.

The rights and autonomy of local governments have suddenly increased, and many things have become uncontrollable.

Xu Huizhen sat aside and asked, "Does the director have any instructions?"

On November 11, the teacher gave a famous speech to the international students in the auditorium of Moscow State University.

The director's wife said with a smile: "That's good. Doesn't this reflect the advantage of having more sons?"

The director's wife held the teacup in both hands and took a sip, and said: "There is something wrong. A document has been issued from above. The "Four Pests Elimination and Hygiene Month" will be carried out next month. All streets and neighborhood committees must actively participate and produce results. "

The previous policy was from top to bottom, but next year many things will be from bottom to top...

For example, "The world is yours and ours, but in the final analysis it is yours" and "You young people are full of vigor and prosperity, just like the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning. Hope is pinned on you" and other famous quotes all come from this speech. , showing ardent hope for young people.

The director's wife smiled and said: "I believe in you, you are not lagging behind others in anything."

Xu Huizhen was chatting with He Yumei and Zhao Yali about their children. After hearing this, she quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Madam Director, you are here. Come and sit down by the stove to warm yourself. Yumei, pour a cup of hot tea for Madam Director."

At the end of the month, in the afternoon.

He Yumei brought the hot tea to the director's wife.

Xu Huizhen thought for a while and said, "It's okay to catch sparrows, but you have to pay attention to safety. Later, I will ask my family Deyong to make some slingshots for the children."

Zhao Yali declined: "It costs money to make a slingshot, so what are you going to do with that money and effort?"

Xu Huizhen said: "You can't let your children work in vain. There are rewards in school. I'll let Deyong do it later and you can bring it to them tomorrow."

Zhao Yali didn't refuse after hearing this, and said with a smile: "If the monkeys in our family know this, they will jump three feet high with joy. Our boss will not let them get used to these things."

After a few people chatted for a while, the director's wife said goodbye and left.

There were not many guests at this meeting, so Xu Huizhen also sent them back home. The chimney was emitting light smoke from the house.

She opened the cotton curtain and entered the room, only to see Xu Deyong lying leisurely on the bamboo rocking chair by the stove, and Ping'er, dressed like a little rice dumpling, lying in his arms.

Li'er curled up in her wooden bed and slept quietly.

The teapot on the stove was steaming.

Xu Deyong opened his eyes when he heard the noise.

Xu Huizhen smiled and whispered: "Are you all asleep?"

"Yes." Xu Deyong nodded and chuckled: "Is your wife coming back to check the post?"

Xu Huizhen rolled her eyes at him and said, "What are you checking? Are you still hiding someone in the house?"

Xu Deyong said with a smile: "That's possible."

Xu Huizhen bit her silver teeth and smiled softly: "If you dare, I will "click" you."

Xu Deyong stood up with a grin, put Ping'er into her small wooden bed, covered her with a small quilt, walked to Xu Huizhen, held her hand and said, "What's the matter, tell me."

Xu Huizhen's cold little hands felt the warmth of Xu Deyong's big hands, and her heart warmed: "It's nothing, the director just came to give the notice..."

She told what happened just now.

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "I'll leave the little things to you, man. I happen to have some thick wattle leaves left at home. I'll look for the ones with forks and I should be able to make a few."

Xu Huizhen said: "Well, just watch and do it, take it as a reward."

The two talked for a while, and Xu Deyong looked at Xu Huizhen, who had lost some weight again. Although her face had a few more freckles, she was still pretty and charming, and she couldn't help but want to come up and give her a pop.

Xu Huizhen smiled and ran away, saying "not serious" and walked away briskly.

Xu Deyong smiled, turned to tuck Li'er and Heping'er, and then went to the yard to find thorns suitable for making slingshots...

The next morning, he went to the scrap station and bought half a used black inner tube for 20 cents.

After returning home and processing it, I quickly made five slingshots of different sizes.

Xiao Li'er took one of the smallest ones and pulled it with all his strength, but he could only pull it a little. He threw it down and said, "It's not fun."

Xu Huizhen said with a smile: "This is something for boys to play with. You can go and paint with colored pens."

"Dad, I'll accompany you." Xiao Li'er, wearing a chubby dress and a cute round face, ran to Xu Deyong.

"Ah..." Ping'er, sitting in the car, raised her little hands and shouted happily, as if she wanted to join in.

Xu Deyong smiled. He finally realized how difficult it is to raise a baby. As long as the two babies are awake, you don't want to do anything else.

Of course, he was the one who cared about them. Nowadays, families with many children don't care so much. As long as they are fed, they cry and make trouble, and often ignore them.

Fortunately, Xu Deyong was full of energy, otherwise he might have had some neurasthenia.

Entering December, the winter "eliminating the four pests and maintaining hygiene" has begun in full swing.

In just about a month, more than 70 rats and birds have been eliminated in ten districts across the city.

The masses once again used their wisdom to the extreme. Rats are the most cunning among the four pests. People invented such things as "digging out the nest", "catching rats in a water tank", "mixing ink and oil to stick rats", "double spring steel wire trap", "bowl, Methods such as "bucket the rat from a bucket or basin" and "fill the rat hole with boiling water".

The most amazing thing is a primary school student from Sijiu City. He creatively invented a clever trick. He caught a mouse, stuffed soybeans into its anus, and sewed the mouse's anus shut with a needle and thread.

When this mouse is released, because it cannot excrete, it will go crazy and bite many mice in the nest alive. We don't know whether it is true or not!
Of course, sparrows are easier to catch than mice, especially at night. Sparrows return to their nests in the tile holes, find the target, and use a ladder and a flashlight to shine on each nest.

Not to mention being hit with various slingshots and air guns during the day.

Naturally, Xu Deyong couldn't "fall behind" and even caught a litter of young ones for Li'er and Heping'er to play with. However, after playing with them for several days, he couldn't feed them and they were all "angry" to death!
