The booming era begins with the director of the Propaganda Department!

Chapter 297: No admission letter?
Hearing her grandson talking nonsense to her again, Grandma Zhang took a puff of her pipe and said, "Try to talk nonsense to me again?"

After smoking, he sighed again: "Your mouth is really worthless!!!"

He keeps nagging all day long.

No, this old lady is over 70 years old, why is she still so hot-tempered? ? She gets physical as soon as they disagree with her!!! Zhang Shenfei secretly complained.

But in front of the old lady, he naturally did not dare to talk nonsense. He sat down obediently with his hands behind his back and reported all the test results.

After listening to his report, Grandma Zhang estimated that if he couldn't guarantee his success in the college entrance examination, he would at least be confident.

He immediately went out with a smile and went straight to the backyard.

"Grandma, it's almost time for dinner, where are you going?"

"Go talk to the deaf old lady about the college entrance examination..." Grandma Zhang was already thinking about how to show off to the deaf old lady without revealing her feelings when she got to the backyard, so as to be low-key and yet successfully stimulate the other party.

Are you showing off to the deaf old lady again? ?

Zhang Shenfei was speechless: "No, then what should I eat for dinner?"

Tian Xiaozao will not go home tonight, and once the old lady leaves, he will be left alone.

Grandma Zhang's voice came from afar: "Have two steamed breads for yourself and eat them with some pickled radish."

During the exam, they had a feast, but after the exam, they only had steamed bread and pickled vegetables? ? The difference was too big, wasn't it? Zhang Shenfei was completely depressed.

after the exam,
Zhang Shenfei continued to work, pushing the progress of the collective housing project forward in an orderly manner.

With two capable assistants, Sha Zhu and Yan Jiecheng, taking care of the canteen affairs, he was happy to have some free time.

midsummer,

The slogan of GYCM for 1070 years was shouted out, and the plan of WDG was also launched. The whole city, no, the whole country began to boil over it.

There is no Jade Emperor in the sky.

There is no dragon king on earth,

I am the Jade Emperor, I am the Dragon King...

In the quadrangle,

Whether it was the front yard, the middle yard or the back yard, they were all filled with scrap metal.

The eight brothers Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiecheng, Zhang Shunsui, Zhang Fendou, Zhang Fenjin, Banggeng, the second oldest son of the Qin family, etc.

All the grown boys in the courtyard would gather around the pile of scrap metal and fight over it.

One said that I made the wire, and the other said that I stole the pot ring from my silly uncle's house.

Sha Zhu, Zhang Shenfei, Xu Damao and others were watching the fun.

When I got closer to take a look, I saw fire tongs, iron door noses, soldering irons, iron pot lids, even kitchen knives, iron hinges on tile cutter boxes, and even nails.

He turned back to look at his second uncle Zhang Shenfei who had just thrown a belt buckle into the pile of scrap copper and iron and praised, "My second uncle is the one who has to win. The future college students have a high level of awareness."

Sha Zhu was speechless: "I didn't say anything, why did you put such a big hat on me???"

Well, let’s stop talking nonsense.

quickly,

It took a dozen guys to sort out the pile of scrap metal.

Zhang Fenjin took a look and saw that the largest pile belonged to his family. He couldn't help but look up at his second uncle and said, "Second uncle, do you think we can make steel from such a large pile of iron if we send it to the blast furnace?"

Ah, this...

Zhang Shenfei was a little embarrassed and didn't say anything.

What could he say? Now the whole country was united, and even their steel mill had built two new earthen blast furnaces, working busily every day.

Although most of the time what is smelted is sponge iron, which is completely useless, but...

Forget it, he'd better shut up.

Bang Geng, who was standing by, was very excited: "Of course you can!!!

This little bit of iron is only enough to make a bullet.

Qin Lao Er clenched his fist and said, "The top leader said that the world is yours and ours, but it is yours after all. You are the sun at seven or eight o'clock!

In my opinion, catching up with Y and surpassing M must be achieved by our generation!!! If we don’t work hard, how can the country be revitalized?? ! ! !

Great! Our Jia family cannot lose out in the Siheyuan!
Even if we don’t sleep tonight, we have to go out and look for iron. In short, our Jia family must get the most scrap iron in the courtyard!!!"

Uncle Er has spoken, what else can I say? Bang Geng immediately nodded in agreement.

He was short, had poor nutrition, and was weak and alone.

Usually in the courtyard, the Zhang brothers would fight first, then the Yan brothers.

After the Zhang brothers beat the Liu brothers, they beat the Zhang brothers. After the Zhang brothers beat the Chen brothers, they beat the Chen brothers.

The Zhang brothers finished fighting...

Everyone in Nanluoguxiang knows that the boys in the courtyards usually spend their days eating, sleeping and playing stick games.

So this time,
He was trying his best to outdo the other kids in the yard!!!
Banggeng took Qin Laoer to put away the scrap metal they were given, picked up a sack and turned around to leave the courtyard.

After watching the excitement, Zhang Shenfei was worried about the baby in Chen Xueru's belly, so he found an excuse to ride his bike towards Qianmen Street.

As soon as he arrived at the place, Chen Xueru stopped him and asked him to go with her to donate the scrap metal he had brought back.

I only deal with steel every day. Zhang Shenfei was speechless.

The two men pulled a tricycle full of scrap copper and iron to the homemade earthen stove on Qianmen Street.

I saw the director's wife setting up a table in front of the furnace and registering the steel delivered by various merchants.

Over at the earthen stove, many people were working busily. Zhang Shenfei even saw someone boiling iron blocks with boiling water...

As soon as Chen Xueru's tricycle arrived, someone came to unload it and weigh it.

Soon, the weigher shouted loudly: "The snow is as heavy as silk, and it weighs three hundred and sixty kilograms of iron."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

"Chen Xueru is really amazing. We all weigh 30 to 50 kilograms, but she weighs several hundred kilograms."

"Where did you get so much steel?"

"This Chen Xueru is a capable person."

Before the crowd had stopped talking, they suddenly heard the sound of a tractor rumbling from behind.

What the hell??? Where did the tractor come from?
Zhang Shenfei and Chen Xueru turned around and saw Xu Huizhen wearing a big straw hat, driving a tractor, pulling a cart full of iron pots and other ironware towards the earthen blast furnace.

Little Xu Jingli sat beside her, her little face tanned red by the hot sun, but when she saw Uncle Zhang, she immediately grinned at him.

Zhang Shenfei couldn't help but walk over and signaled Xu Huizhen to stop the car.

"What's going on? It's so hot and it's so dangerous here, why did you bring the child here?" he blamed.

Xu Huizhen stopped the car, took off her straw hat and used it as a fan: "The tavern is temporarily closed, and I sent everyone down to find ironware. No one is looking after Li Er, so I can only take her with me."

Zhang Shenfei sighed, picked up Xu Jingli, took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe her sweat, and smoothed the little girl's sweaty bangs: "Let's go, Uncle Zhang will take us to buy cream popsicles."

"Cream popsicle???" Xu Jingli was immediately happy and kissed Zhang Shenfei on the face.

Zhang Shenfei was immediately overjoyed. He put Xu Jingli on his neck and strode towards the supply and marketing cooperative: "Let's go buy some popsicles!!!"

Looking at Zhang Shenfei holding Xu Jingli's back, Chen Xueru didn't know what she was thinking of. She glanced at Xu Huizhen and said, "Zhang Shenfei likes Li'er so much. If he has his own children in the future, won't he like her even more???"

"I think so..." Xu Huizhen looked at Zhang Shenfei with a complicated expression.

Although it was impossible for her and Brother Zhang to be together, he really took good care of her and Li'er.

After Zhang Shenfei lifted the door curtain and entered the supply and marketing cooperative and was completely out of sight, Chen Xueru looked at Xu Huizhen provocatively and asked her where she got so much scrap metal from.

"Xu Huizhen, among the 800 merchants on Qianmen Street, you are the only famous female merchant besides me.

I just got 300 kilograms of iron and haven't shown my face yet, but you got a whole truckload of it...

Tell me, are you trying to make things difficult for me on purpose?

Xu Huizhen immediately smiled awkwardly: "What are you talking about? I am responding to the country's call and working hard for 1070WDG. How can it be regarded as targeting you?
I say, Chen Xueru, your awareness needs to be improved!!!"

"Don't talk nonsense to me," Chen Xueru's fair face turned serious, "Anyway, I, Chen Xueru, will not lose to you! No matter in which aspect!!!"

Yo, we are competing again???

Xu Huizhen smiled, looking at Xu Jingli who was held in Zhang Shenfei's arms with a popsicle in her hand, and said leisurely, "Chen Xueru, didn't you say you wanted to adopt a child? You haven't found a suitable one yet? "

Chen Xueru suddenly smiled and gently stroked her belly: "Soon..."

It's about six o'clock in the afternoon.

When Zhang Shenfei returned to the courtyard from Qianmen Street, he saw several young boys gathered in the front yard, flattering Banggeng and Qin Laoer.

Every sentence he says is funny and insightful. Qin Laoer is not an ordinary person.

He walked over curiously and saw a lot of iron clips on the ground. Banggen was holding one and showing it off to everyone: "Did you see it? One clip weighs at least two kilograms. We got more than twenty this time... That must be fifty kilograms???"

This time, not only can he show up in the courtyard, he can also show up in the entire Red Star Primary School.

Bang Geng's face turned red with excitement.

Zhang Shenfei was looking at the clips and felt they looked familiar. He bent down to pick one up from the ground and was about to observe it when he suddenly heard a huge explosion in the distance.

The sound was so loud that it was deafening, and even the ground beneath one's feet was shaking.

Every household in the courtyard ran out. Aunt Yan ran so fast that she didn't even have time to put on her clothes. She was only wearing a pair of shorts and a small vest. Zhang Shenfei took a look and thought, hey, it's just like what the second uncle said, the pure cotton shorts turned into lace!!!
Aunt Yan and her husband really know how to live.

After everyone in the alley gathered at the entrance, they didn't dare to go home and just squatted here to chat.

Half an hour later, a neighbor came to report that it was not an earthquake or a shell, but an explosion of the high-pressure boiler in Union Hospital.

“How could a high-pressure boiler explode?” someone asked immediately.

The person who explored the news immediately told everyone:

"It seems that the clamp of the high-pressure boiler was removed, and then it exploded. My goodness, the infusion bottles and needles of Union Hospital were flying everywhere.

No one was killed in the explosion, but an old man who was supposed to be rescued was frightened to death.”

"The police station has gone there and is investigating who stole the card."

Hiss! This is a big deal!!!

Everyone immediately started to think differently, some saying it must be the enemy's doing, trying to create chaos.

Some said that some patients' families had conflicts with Union Hospital and deliberately retaliated.

In short, there is anything to say.

Only Zhang Shenfei and the boys in the courtyard fixed their sights on Banggeng and Qin Laoer when they heard the word "Card".

There is no wall that is impenetrable. An hour later, the police officer Anzi brought his men to Nanluoguxiang.

"Jia Geng, Qin Aimin, someone reported that you two were seen hanging around the boiler room of Union Hospital this afternoon... Come with us."

Banggeng and Qin Aimin were taken away, and the Jia family was in an uproar.

Jia Zhang sat on the ground, crying her heart out. She cursed, "That bastard Banggeng, it must have been his idea!!

Our little second son is such a good kid. If it weren’t for this damn instigator, he would definitely not dare to steal the card! !

Bang Geng is a short-lived ghost. I have known since childhood that he is not a good person! ! Our Jia family is unlucky to have him! ! "

Qin Huairu was also listening, and she was immediately unhappy when she heard it: "Mom, Banggeng is your grandson, how can you say that about him???"

"That's right, Mom. Ever since Qin Aimin came into being, how can we be in your heart? There's only you, Uncle Qin, and Qin Aimin's little family." Jia Dongxu was also unhappy.

They say that if there is a stepmother, there must be a stepfather, but why is it the other way around with him? ? ?

Jia Zhang didn't care about that and continued to cry and shout that if anything happened to Qin Lao Er, Bang Geng would be buried with him.

Sha Zhu was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet, but he didn't have time to argue with the old woman. He just comforted Qin Huairu softly, telling her not to worry and that he would definitely help.

Qin Huairu turned a deaf ear to his words and just looked at Zhang Shenfei.

At this point, only Dafei can help Banggeng!!!
At twelve o'clock at night,
Zhang Shenfei walked out of the cellar of the courtyard, stood at the door to tidy up his clothes, and then went to the front yard.

Ten minutes after he left, Qin Huairu also came out...

Early the next morning,
Banggeng and Qin Laoer were released by the local policeman Anzi.

"The matter has been investigated clearly. The hospital was very touched and decided not to pursue the matter..."

Holding her son, Qin Huairu looked at Zhang Shenfei and exclaimed that Zhang Shenfei was really capable now as he had solved the problem in one night.

Zhang Shenfei touched his nose awkwardly. After the fierce battle in the cellar last night, he went home and fell asleep immediately, and didn't get up until now.

Bang Geng and Qin Lao Er being released really had nothing to do with him!!!
but……

How can I tell the truth now?
He smiled at Qin Huairu, as if to say, "You don't have to thank me, just do better next time."

……

A few happy and sad,
On an extremely ordinary morning in August, the postman responsible for Nanluoguxiang arrived at the gate of the courtyard on his bicycle.

Although Yan Bugui was stingy, he always subscribed to newspapers. When he saw the person coming, he immediately put down the broom in his hand and walked over.

"Here is your morning paper. These two letters, one is from Comrade Zhang Shenfei and the other is from Comrade Liu Guangqi." As he spoke, the postman handed over two small kraft paper envelopes.

Yan Bugui took them all and started shouting as soon as he entered the yard.

Ever since the college entrance examination in July, the entire courtyard has been paying close attention to the situation of Zhang Shenfei and Liu Guangqi.

I heard that both of them had received letters, and they were both sent by the "National College Entrance Examination Committee."

They suddenly became excited and gathered around, discussing whether Zhang Shenfei and Liu Guangqi could be admitted to university.

"Brother Dafei will definitely be fine. But Liu Guangqi? Isn't that Fan Jin who took the imperial examination all his life but never passed?" Xu Damao sneered.

Although he has little education, he has watched a lot of movies!! His knowledge is quite broad. He can easily play the roles of Fan Jin and Ah Q.

Compared to him, Sha Zhu was obviously much more illiterate: "Fan Jin? Is he from Heizhima Hutong, or Damaba Hutong? Why does this name sound a bit unfamiliar to me?"

"You don't even recognize Fan Jin! You are such a fucking toddler!!" Xu Damao dissed him.

Sha Zhu suddenly got angry and waved his fist to teach Xu Damao a lesson.

"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense, today is not your stage, why are you two showing off here!!"

The second uncle came over and interrupted them in a gruff voice, "Uncle Yan, please give us Guangqi's letter as soon as possible."

Yan Bugui was just about to hand over the letter from Liu Guangqi when he saw Zhang Shenfei striding over.

Liu Haizhong immediately changed his words: "Old Yan, why don't you give Director Zhang's information to him quickly? Our Guangqi is not in a hurry...

You are already such a grown-up, and you are still a primary school teacher, how come you don’t even know the importance of things? ? "

Hiss, Yan Bugui couldn't help but glance at him. There really was someone in his bangs, he was both a human and a ghost.

Zhang Shenfei took the letter handed over by Yan Bugui, opened it and glanced through it.

Yan Bugui often leaned over to look at him and whispered, "Student Zhang Shenfei, you took the joint college entrance examination this time. After review, you have been officially admitted to our school..."

Hiss, was admitted to Yenching University???

The crowd onlookers were immediately excited.

"Yenching University, is it the most famous Yenching University in our city???"

"It's not just the Forbidden City, it's the most famous in the whole country!!!"

"Director Zhang went to college there, and he will have a bright future!!!"

"Hiss! Ever since Director Zhang wrote Sha Jia Bang, the Zhang family's ancestral graves have been filled with smoke!!!"

"Da Fei used to be a factory director. He married Tian Xiaozao, the neighborhood committee director, and now he has been admitted to Yenching University.

Add to that Tang Danniu, that bitch... that sister-in-law... the Zhang family is going to dominate the Siheyuan!!!"

"If you ask me, Grandma Zhang is very lucky. Not only does she have a large family, but her descendants are all very promising..."

Some residents couldn't help but sigh and glanced at the deaf old lady who was watching the fun with a cane.

Hearing this, the deaf old lady felt sad.

I have no children, no grandchildren, and I have to endure the occasional show-off from my fake best friend, Grandma Zhang.

Living in this courtyard is really boring...

Zhang Shenfei was still being hypocritically polite, saying that he was just lucky and that he was able to get into a good school because of the university expansion this year.

After reading Zhang Shenfei's admission letter, Yan Bugui gave him Liu Guangqi's letter and urged him to open it.

Perhaps because he heard Zhang Shenfei say that the university would expand its enrollment this year, Liu Guangqi also had high hopes of being admitted.

He opened the envelope and took out a piece of paper. He looked down and saw two big words on it - "Notification of Rejection"!!!
At the end of the notice, like Zhang Shenfei’s, there was also a red stamp of “National College Entrance Examination Committee”.

Liu Guangqi's face suddenly turned pale, and the second uncle's face turned ashen.

Although the second aunt was illiterate, she had already guessed the result from the expressions of her eldest son and her own husband.

"Forget it, if I didn't get accepted, then I didn't get accepted. We'll continue next year."

Liu Haizhong took a deep breath and said, "Applying for college is like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. How many people can pass it in one try???"

"Let's go home. Just try harder next year."

After saying that, he took his eldest son and went to the backyard first, followed by the other members of the Liu family.

No one in the courtyard paid attention to the Liu family's little episode. Not even a few people discussed Liu Guangqi's failure in the college entrance examination for the third time. Instead, they all gathered around Zhang Shenfei to congratulate him.

Junior high school students are all highly educated these days, Zhang Shenfei went to Yanjing University! !
If he graduates, he will become a high-ranking official in the future???
If you don't fawn on us now, when will you? !
Just as Zhang Shenfei was listening to the flattery and compliments of the crowd, the howling of Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian suddenly came from the backyard.

have to,
It seems that the second uncle is still angry, but he is reluctant to touch the eldest uncle, so he simply takes it out on the second and third uncles.

The second and third sons of the Liu family are also unlucky to be born in such a family.

It is said that if parents are not kind, their children will be unfilial.

The old couple Liu Haizhong treated their two sons as non-human beings, and it can be considered as karma that they were abandoned in their old age.

Another few days passed,

Soon, it was August 23rd.

Early in the morning, Zhang Shenfei called the whole family to the front yard.

"Dafei, don't local students report on September 1st? What are you doing today?" Tang Danniu yawned and looked at her brother-in-law.

"That's what I said, but I thought it's better to arrive early than late, so I plan to report to Yenching University today." Zhang Shenfei announced his decision and gestured for everyone to look at the luggage roll he had packed after staying up late last night.

Grandma Zhang looked at him with a look of ashamedness: "Are you sick?"

I have seen people rushing to go on blind dates, I have seen people rushing to eat, but I have never seen anyone go to school a week early!!!
