Chapter 1079 Lin Dongzhe is still useful
Lin Dongzhe initially thought it was a thief and was about to call the factory security department, but Qin Hao stopped him: "How can a thief squat at the door in broad daylight without moving?"
As they were talking, Song Ying came out of the room and asked, "What are you two talking about? It's so noisy."
"Mom, look, there's a guy squatting outside our house for quite some time."
Following Lin Dongzhe's gaze, Song Ying's first reaction was: this man is a thief.
Qin Hao laughed. 80% of Lin Dongzhe's personality traits were inherited from Song Ying. Fortunately, the other 20% of his cleverness was inherited from Lin Wufeng.
Song Ying walked up to the man and asked, "Comrade, who are you looking for?"
As a result, the man hesitated for a long time and refused to say anything. Song Ying became even more suspicious and immediately called the security department to arrest him. The man was scared and quickly introduced himself.
"I am the director of a collective enterprise run by the village. My last name is An. I am here to look for Mr. Lin. I am not a thief."
When Song Ying saw that there was a misunderstanding, she quickly led the man into the house: "Well, my husband doesn't get off work until 6pm."
Director An smiled naively and said, "I know, it's not easy for me to talk about this in the factory, so I'm waiting here for Engineer Lin to get off work."
Qin Hao often watched the news and had a general understanding of the current policies. Although the reform and opening up policy had allowed individual businesses and collective enterprises to exist, the actual situation was that people did not care and allowed them to develop.
The Ministry of Education has also explicitly stipulated that college students are not allowed to be assigned to township enterprises. Therefore, the current situation of most township enterprises is that they have backward technology, backward equipment, and backward production processes. If they want to develop, they must first make breakthroughs in technology.
Lin Wufeng is both a senior engineer and a technical backbone of the compressor factory. This kind of talent is exactly what Director An urgently needs.
"Then Director An, please sit down for a while. I still have to go cook for the children. You can talk again when Wu Feng comes back."
As soon as Song Ying entered the kitchen, Qin Hao followed her in under the pretext of helping.
"Aunt Song, Director An probably wants to invite Uncle Lin to be the Sunday Engineer."
The so-called Sunday engineers actually work part-time to earn extra money. This is a common phenomenon in later generations, but in the 80s it was very easy to be caught. Once reported, they would most likely be punished or even lose their jobs.
Song Ying paused and said, "I finally have a day off on Sunday, but I still have to go to work. How tiring is that?"
"Yes, and your and Uncle Lin's salary should be enough to support our daily life. If it really doesn't work, I still have my bonus saved. There's no need to take the risk." Qin Hao advised. He has won several national championships in recent years, and all the bonuses added up to about five or six thousand yuan.
Song Ying patted Qin Hao and said, "Your bonus is for you to marry a wife. Besides, how can your Uncle Lin and I spend your money?"
"Money is meant to be spent, and it will only become less and less valuable in the future, so why keep it?"
"Go, stop telling me those nonsense stories. Paying back money is becoming less and less valuable. Can money really become waste paper? Get out of here and stop getting in the way. I have to cook."
Then Qin Hao was kicked out. Although Song Ying seemed careless, she was actually very principled in many things.
At 6:15 in the afternoon, Lin Wufeng returned home on his bicycle, and Director An couldn't wait to greet him.
Director An was indeed willing to invest. Lin Wufeng's monthly salary at the compressor factory was 60 yuan, but he offered him a daily salary of yuan. In addition, if he solved major technical problems, he would receive a bonus separately.
Just as Lin Wufeng was about to agree, he was interrupted by Qin Hao: "Director An, this is such a big matter, Uncle Lin must think it over before he can give you an answer."
"Yes, yes, you see I am too excited. I am sorry, Mr. Lin. I will go back first. I will come back to hear your news in three days."
"Let's finish our meal before we leave?"
"No, I still have things to do at the factory. Next time, I'll have a few drinks with Engineer Lin next time."
At the dinner table, Qin Hao took the initiative to say to Lin Wufeng: "Uncle Lin, Sunday Engineers are still quite risky now, and my family is not that short of money, so I don't think it's necessary to take the risk."
"Well, I think Haozi is right. Our family doesn't have much debt, and we can still get by. Besides, we have to work overtime on Sundays, which is so tiring..."
Before Song Ying finished her words, Lin Wufeng stunned her with one sentence: "One hundred yuan a day."
"So many?" Song Ying opened her mouth wide and looked at Qin Hao subconsciously.
Qin Hao said seriously, "Although the salary is high, once discovered, at best you will lose your job, at worst you will be sent to a detention center. It may even affect Lin Dongzhe's future college education. The price is too high."
Song Ying and Lin Wufeng immediately reached an agreement after hearing this: Not going!
Compared to the few hundred dollars, their son's future is of course more important. Although they are not sure whether Lin Dongzhe can be admitted to university, if he is admitted, they will feel guilty for the rest of their lives if he is delayed because of this matter.
Qin Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. In fact, Song Ying's family's financial situation was not very good. On the one hand, Song Ying was not the kind of parent who would sacrifice herself completely for her children. She also liked to buy beautiful clothes and eat delicious food. In addition, Lin Dongzhe was at the age of growing up.
The combined monthly salary of Song Ying and Lin Wufeng is only about 130 yuan, which is just enough for their spending and they cannot save much.
Qin Hao knew very well that even if he placed mountains of gold and silver in front of Song Ying, she would not spend a penny, so if he wanted to stop Lin Wufeng from making extra money, he had to rely on Lin Dongzhe.
Although Lin Wufeng's career did develop well after he went to Guangzhou, Song Ying had to leave her hometown, Suzhou, where she grew up. Song Ying always regretted this, and Qin Hao naturally could not let this happen again.
In order to make amends to Director An, Lin Wufeng introduced his apprentice, Song Xiangyang, who is Li Yiming's uncle, to him.
Director An wanted to fight for it at first, but when Lin Wufeng told him about his concerns, he knew he couldn't force him, so he had to agree to let Song Xiangyang work in his factory. After all, with Song Xiangyang as a connection, it would be much easier to invite Lin Wufeng to work in the future when the policy changed. Moreover, Song Xiangyang had followed Lin Wufeng for several years and had some real talent, much better than those rough guys in his factory.
Song Xiangyang was also very happy. He had a "stain" on his file because he was caught carrying sacks and reselling goods with Li Yiming. He had worked for several years but was not given a permanent job and his monthly salary was only 34 yuan. When he arrived at the township factory, his monthly salary was 150 yuan, almost five times higher. What was there to be dissatisfied about?
"I can't get a permanent job anyway, so I might as well make more money while I'm still young. Thank you, Mr. Lin."
Lin Wufeng patted Song Xiangyang on the shoulder: "I hope you can think positively."
At the end of August, Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan finally left Suzhou and went to Shanghai.
Originally, Zhuang Tunan didn't plan to let Huang Ling see him off, but Qin Hao didn't stop Song Ying from doing so, so Huang Ling came along under the pretext of "accompanying her best friend."
The farewell scene was somewhat sad. Song Ying and Huang Ling tried hard to suppress their emotions and not let themselves cry.
"Brother Hao, remember to come back to see us when you are on vacation. Don't forget about us after you see Sister Muzi."
Lin Dongzhe and Xiang Pengfei grabbed Qin Hao's clothes from left and right, reluctant to let go. Their tone was full of resentment, as if Qin Hao was a Chen Shimei who had seduced her and then abandoned her.
Qin Hao laughed and tapped them on the head: "You two are already men. Remember to take good care of Aunt Song, Aunt Huang, and Xiao Ting at home. Don't let anyone bully them, understand?"
"Well, Brother Hao, don't worry, we will protect them." Lin Dongzhe patted his chest.
Qin Hao then said to Xiang Pengfei, "After I leave, the house will be left to you. No matter what my father and grandmother say, don't worry about it. Let them come to me. The same goes for others."
"Well, Brother Hao, don't worry. As long as the house is there, I'm fine. If the house is gone, I'm dead." Xiang Pengfei patted his chest and said.
Qin Hao laughed and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? If you lose a house, you can buy another one. What's the use of a house after you die? Anyway, I will call the store after I settle down in Shanghai. When the time comes, you should remember the phone number there. If you have any problems, call me and I will reimburse the expenses."
"Hey, I understand, Brother Hao."
The whistle sounded accompanied by bursts of white smoke as the train slowly pulled into the platform. At this moment, Song Ying and Huang Ling could no longer hold back and they hugged each other and burst into tears.
……
In the afternoon, Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan struggled hard to finally squeeze out of the crowded Shanghai Railway Station.
Outside the train station were school buses from various universities picking up new students. Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan, along with other Tongji freshmen, carried their luggage and boarded the bus.
This is Zhuang Tunan’s first time in Shanghai. His eyes show curiosity and desire for the new world, as well as nervousness and uneasiness about the unfamiliar environment.
"Haozi, do you think we will be assigned to the same dormitory?"
When the school bus was about to arrive at Tongji campus, Zhuang Tunan finally recovered from the mixed emotions.
"up to you."
What made Zhuang Tunan happy was that he was lucky enough to be assigned to the same dormitory as Qin Hao. At least there was someone familiar around him, which made him feel a little more at ease.
When we arrived at the dormitory, the two roommates had already made their beds, leaving only the two upper bunks. While they were making the beds, the four of us introduced ourselves to each other.
"Suzhou, Qin Hao, are you the top scorer in science in Jiangsu?"
"Good fellow, you are the one who scored 640 out of 627 in total, and you were assigned to the same dormitory with me."
The two older guys in the same dormitory were older than Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan. One was 21 and the other was 24. They were both married, which shocked Zhuang Tunan greatly.
However, the two older brothers were truly shocked. When they learned that Qin Hao had just turned 16, their eyes almost popped out of their heads.
Seeing this, Zhuang Tunan couldn't help but laugh in his heart: You can't stand this? You probably don't know that this person is the Go champion of the National Games!
That night, the counselor came to the dormitory to communicate with Qin Hao and other three people. In the early 80s, college students did not need military training before starting school, and they were arranged to attend classes directly.
The next day, when Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan arrived at the classroom, there were already quite a few people inside. Some were reading books, some were looking around, and some were dozing off.
Qin Hao recognized Li Jia in the crowd at a glance. There were few girls in the Department of Architecture, and even fewer who were pretty.
At this time, Li Jia was reading a book intently. She was sitting next to the window, the sunlight shining through the glass onto her pretty face. Her two long black braids were draped over her shoulders, one on the left and one on the right, and she exuded a scholarly air.
"Let's go sit over there..." Before Zhuang Tunan finished his words, he saw Qin Hao walking straight to the window, so he had no choice but to follow him.
Perhaps it was Qin Hao's footsteps that startled Li Jia, who suddenly looked up. After their eyes met, Li Jia subconsciously wanted to step aside, but found himself sitting in the corner.
"Classmate, is there anyone sitting here?"
Facing Qin Hao's question, Li Jia looked embarrassed. Zhuang Tunan felt a little embarrassed and whispered to Qin Hao, "Let's change seats. Sit in the middle so we can hear more clearly."
Qin Hao ignored him and sat directly next to Li Jia.
In the 80s, there were very few male and female college students sitting at the same table. Qin Hao's move immediately attracted the attention of many classmates, which made Li Jia even more nervous.
"Classmate, if you want to sit here, I'll give it to you. Please let me go out for a while."
Seeing that Li Jia was getting a little anxious, Qin Hao quickly put away his joking attitude.
"Didn't we agree to meet on the university campus? Why are you avoiding me after we met?"
Li Jia was stunned at first, then pointed her slender index finger at Qin Hao and said in an incredible tone: "Are you Xiaoxiang Yeyu?"
"Hello Muzi, nice to meet you again. My pen name is Xiaoxiang Yeyu, and my real name is Qin Hao."
Facing the hand Qin Hao extended, Li Jia hesitated for a moment, but still shook it: "Hello, I'm Muzi, real name Li Jia."
Zhuang Tunan's eyes widened: "You are Haozi's pen pal? You are in the same class as us. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"
Li Jia withdrew her hand subtly and said with a smile: "Yes, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to be assigned to the same class with you."
"Actually, it's not that coincidental. I specifically asked the admissions office teacher and was assigned to this class." Qin Hao spread his hands.
Li Jia and Zhuang Tunan looked at Qin Hao with some confusion.
Qin Hao smiled and said, "I told the admissions office teacher that if I am not assigned to this class, I will repeat a year and go to Peking University or Tsinghua University."
Li Jia suddenly came to her senses: "Qin Hao, you are the top scorer in science in Jiangsu this year?"
At this moment, a man in his fifties came into the classroom and immediately attracted the attention of all the students present.
"Professor Sun, he is the one teaching us."
"It should be a benefit for the freshmen in our Department of Architecture. I remember Professor Sun seemed to be supervising doctoral students."
Like other students, Li Jia looked at Professor Sun on the podium with admiration, and naturally introduced Professor Sun's deeds to Qin Hao. However, she stopped halfway through her speech. She suddenly realized that she was not writing a letter to her pen pal "Xiaoxiang Yeyu", but communicating face to face. The sense of strangeness and familiarity were intertwined, and she didn't know how to respond for a moment.
At this moment, Professor Sun had already started the class. Li Jia forced herself to put aside all distracting thoughts. After all, the opportunity to have Professor Sun teach was rare. However, she just couldn't calm down.
On the other hand, Qin Hao was already taking notes with full concentration.
Li Jia secretly despised herself: "You are useless. Others are just fine, but you are overthinking."
