Chapter Seventy-Eight: Lighting the Streetlights

This logistics business training gave me a more comprehensive understanding of logistics work, and the guidance of the leaders gave me a lot of inspiration.

I feel that the biggest gain is the insight, information and ideas.

"The army needs all kinds of talent."

"Three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion."

"A lot of what you do is the role of a cadre, and there are many opportunities waiting for you."

"It is necessary to boldly explore ways and means of logistical support."

Every word lifted my spirits.

After returning to the institute, I focused more on my own work, further standardizing the system of charging fees for outsiders, strengthening the statistical estimation of diners, and striving to increase extra-budgetary income.

It didn't take long for the pigs that had been raised in the institute for more than a year to be slaughtered, killing more than 180 catties of meat and earning a considerable amount of money.

"Xiao Zhang, I want to buy all the pig's internal organs."

Director Huang repeatedly explained when I went out with the tractor carrying pigs.

At that time, if you want to buy the pig's offal, you have to open the back door.

Our own pigs are sold to food stations and can be purchased first.

The pig was killed in the middle of the night, and I watched from the sidelines as the pig was slaughtered, and I rushed back to the house with money and a box of offal.

In my spare time, I study more diligently.

My math scores have always been very good, and when my classmates in high school always came to me to solve problems, I could score about 90 points out of 100 in mock exams.

Language and politics are also relatively stable, especially politics, because I have a good memory, and memorizing topics is my strength.

My weak links are mainly physics and chemistry.

In the high school entrance examination, I only scored 27 points out of 100 in physics and chemistry, and I still entered the score line of the provincial key Zhoushan Middle School, but I went to a rural middle school for unclear reasons.

However, the first place in the examination and the identity of the class president made up for my sense of loss, but the scores of physics and chemistry have not gone up, and I only scored 31 or 5 points in physics and chemistry in the college entrance examination, which is a serious hindrance.

I focused my revision efforts on physics and chemistry.

When I went to Xinhua Bookstore, I bought two revision books, one for the Chinese review materials for the college entrance examination, and the other for exercises on physics and chemistry.

At the same time, I also bought a literary journal by the way, which should be the third issue of "Harvest" in '82.

This magazine has had a much greater impact on my life than the previous two review books.

This issue of the magazine published a novel by Lu Yao, "Life".

Lu Yao was not famous at that time, and it was the first time I read his works.

That novel resonated with my soul so much that I read it over and over again, even in the middle of the night.

In the later stages, it took me almost half an hour to read the novel, because all the characters and plots were deeply imprinted in my mind.

At that time, I thought that this Lu Yao and that novel would definitely be popular all over China!

I saw my own shadow in Gao Jialin, and Gao Jialin, who returned to the yellow earth after graduating from high school, wasn't Gao Jialin the same person who failed the college entrance examination that year?

My neighbor is also my elementary school girl classmate Ah Mao, and her father is also the secretary of the brigade.

What's even more coincidental is that her father, who was a secretary, and my father, who was a production team leader, although they are both sons-in-law, and their wives are sisters of the same family name, but they have formed a lot of grievances due to work and personality reasons.

According to my father, the reason why he filled out the party volunteer form and finally did not join the party was given a card by his father, who was a secretary of the party.

I haven't been in love in the village, but I'm also a good guy with a bit of culture in the eyes of the same age and the opposite sex.

I remember that when my mother came to visit me, she mentioned that a girl expressed her liking for me to her parents when others went to talk to me.

But my heart is no longer in the countryside.

I appreciate Liu Qiaozhen's character.

I also sympathize with Gogarin's struggle and efforts to change his fate.

I can even forgive Gogarin for his vanity and greed for wealth.

I felt like I had suddenly grown up and was determined to change my destiny through my own efforts.

Since then, I have spent the rest of my time reviewing my homework except for work.

A passage from the writer Liu Qing quoted in "Life" often echoes in my mind:

Although the road of life is long, there are often only a few steps at the critical point, especially when one is young.

No one's life path is straight and there are no forks. Some forks in the road, such as a fork in politics, a fork in the road in your career, a fork in your personal life, you take a wrong step, which can affect a period of your life, or it can affect a lifetime.
