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

Chapter 321 The Second Prison of Sijiu City!
"Unusual??? Why is it unusual?" Cai Quanwu suddenly became interested.

He lost both his parents when he was a child, so he actually didn't care much about being a live-in son-in-law or not.

Anyway, as long as I can get married, what does it matter whether my child takes my surname or my child takes my surname? ? ?
Originally, he was already interested in the second plan Zhang Shenfei proposed, and was even thinking about how to talk to Xiao Liu about it.

But when he heard Zhang Shenfei say that the third plan was unusual, with a familiar, wicked smile on his lips, he was no longer sleepy.

"Brother Zhang, please tell me about the third plan so that I can refer to it." He looked at Zhang Shenfei and rubbed his hands with slight excitement.

Zhang Shenfei took the half-smoked cigarette from his lips, flicked the ash, rubbed the cigarette butt between his fingertips, and suddenly smiled again:

"Cai Quanwu, you have lived in our courtyard for a while, right?"

Cai Quanwu didn't know why he suddenly changed the subject, but he was not one to ask questions, so he nodded and said, "Yeah, after I recognized Sha Zhu as my relative, I moved to the courtyard. So much time has passed in a flash."

"Speaking of which, I was able to recognize Sha Zhu as my relative thanks to the role you played, Brother Zhang."

Perhaps because he had no relatives since childhood, Cai Quanwu still has deep feelings for Sha Zhu and He Yushui, and cherishes this family relationship very much.

Zhang Shenfei didn't respond to his question, but changed the subject: "You and Shazhu live in the middle courtyard, and you often come into contact with the Jia family. What do you think...how is Zhang Cuihua's life???"

"Zhang Cuihua???" Cai Quanwu was slightly startled, and then he recovered, "Oh, it's Jia Zhang, right? She lives a good life. There are so many aunts in the courtyard, but few can live better than her..."

He didn't say this on purpose because he saw that Zhang Shenfei had a good relationship with Jia Zhang.

But it really came from my heart.

There are a total of fourteen households living in the courtyard, and there are seven or eight aunts.

But if you look around, apart from Jia Zhang, which other auntie doesn't rely on men to make a living? ? ?

Nowadays, people who have jobs have to speak louder and be looked at with respect when they go out.

Life is not easy for a housewife who has to work hard. Sometimes, if she spends too much on living expenses, she will inevitably be scolded or even beaten by her husband.

But what about Jia Zhang? She was a worker who slacked off at the steel mill every day and only got paid.

There is also Lao Qin, that old bootlicker, who never fights back when he is beaten or scolded, and follows Jia Zhang around all day long, flattering her.

What's the point?
It's good enough that Jia Zhang didn't beat Lao Qin, how could Lao Qin be the one to beat Jia Zhang???

"That's right." Zhang Shenfei put the cigarette back into his mouth. "Since she remarried, Jia Zhang has lived a good life. It is obvious to everyone in Siheyuan, Nanluoguxiang and even Dongcheng District."

At the beginning,

In order to promote widows' remarriage, the street invited Jia Zhang and Lao Qin to give reports and serve as role models. The event was a big hit for two days.

The deaf old lady, who had been a widow for decades, lost her guard and had a big fight with Jia Zhang.

He accused her of betraying Lao Jia and cheating on him... The two fought for three hundred rounds, and everyone else in the courtyard followed to watch.

"Ms. Jia Zhang used to be a widow. She remarried and her life became better." Zhang Shenfei stopped there.

It is said that Fan Jinyou looks smart but is actually a fool.

Cai Quanwu looks silly, but he is actually very smart.
After hearing Zhang Shenfei's few words, he immediately came up with an idea: "Zhang Cuihua is a widow, and Widow Song is also a widow...Brother Zhang, what do you mean???"

Although there is now a slogan that women hold up half the sky, there are still a considerable number of women who rely on men for support.

If Widow Song had married, her retirement life would have been guaranteed.

With someone to take care of her in her old age, there is no need for a daughter-in-law, so naturally the widow Xiao Liu can remarry.

Take a step back and say,

The daughter-in-law followed in the footsteps of her mother-in-law. Widow Song remarried herself. How could she still have the nerve to force her daughter-in-law to stay single for the rest of her life and wait for a memorial arch for her chastity? ?
Thinking of this, Cai Quanwu suddenly became excited.

Seeing that Cai Quanwu had figured out the key to the matter, Zhang Shenfei patted him on the shoulder and said, "I still prefer to talk to smart people like you. It's so much easier!!!"

"But what if the man Widow Song marries again is not well-off and can't afford to support her, and still relies on Xiao Liu to support her in her old age??" Cai Quanwu was anxious again, and couldn't help pulling his hair. "If it doesn't work, after she remarries, I will give her pension money every month???"

Zhang Shenfei sighed: "So, brother, you are kind and righteous. You married a wife and support her. Not only do you have children with her ex-husband, you also support her ex-mother-in-law..."

While praising Cai Quanwu for his kindness, he was secretly thinking, are the bootlicking genes of the He family so awesome? ? ?

He Daqing's father was like this, He Daqing himself was like this, and Cai Quanwu is like this now...

Silly Zhu, ah Silly Zhu, Zhang Shenfei expressed that he was very worried about him...

Enough said,
Zhang Shenfei gave a few suggestions, and then Cai Quanwu had to figure out on his own what kind of man to find for Widow Song, how to find him, and where to find him.

After smoking his cigarette, Zhang Shenfei looked at his watch and saw that it was already late, so he urged the guy to take him to the transportation company quickly.

……

Cai Quanwu solved the problem that was on his mind. When he pedaled the tricycle, he used all his strength and rode the tricycle like a mountain pilot.

At last,
Zhang Shenfei was successfully delivered to his destination before all the trucks returned to the transportation company.

Zhang Shenfei was also able to maintain the image of being the one waiting for all the students who came to work and study to return.

After everyone arrived, under the leadership of Director Ma, the accountant of the transportation company came to verify the quantity of building materials loaded and unloaded by each person and paid everyone's wages on the spot.

The student who got the most received 70 cents, and the student who got the least received 30 cents.

Everyone was so excited as they received the money they earned from their hard work.

Some said they would use the money to buy reference materials, some said they would go out for a good meal, and more were thinking about saving the money and then rounding it up to an integer to send back home.

Now all major communes have canteens, and people are not allowed to cook at home. If there is smoke coming out of someone's chimney, someone will immediately run to verify and check. Once it is discovered that someone is really cooking, there will be no tolerance and severe punishment must be imposed.

But the food in the cafeteria is not good and everyone always feels unhappy.

I could only use the money to buy some things and secretly eat a few meals at home.

Zhang Shenfei clapped his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said loudly:

"Okay, everyone has worked hard today. I will talk to the transportation company and ask them to arrange a truck to take everyone back to school.

Everyone go back and take a shower and rest. If you want to continue working tomorrow, come back."

Hearing that they could still make money tomorrow, everyone got excited again and started talking about it.

……

This weekend activity of cooperating with the transportation company to load and unload goods was a great start for the Work-Study Society.

When they heard that the participating students earned more than one yuan in two days, students who had previously been on the fence about joining the work-study society immediately flocked to sign up.

Seeing that the number of people was increasing, Zhang Shenfei arranged some student union cadres to form a work-study office.

Chen Yizhi is the director, who is specifically responsible for placing these students who work part-time in their spare time.

Under his instructions, Chen Yizhi classified the students according to their majors, their strengths, etc.

With the help of Zhang Shenfei, he also cooperated with various units in Sijiu City.

Every week, we arrange suitable students to work part-time according to the types of part-time jobs required by these units. Although there are many unemployed young people in the city now, most of them want to find a stable job and do not care about part-time jobs.

In addition, the students were willing to work hard and were more serious and responsible, so there was an endless stream of factories and units looking for cooperation with the Sijiucheng Work-Study Society.

The success of the Work-Study Society further enhanced Zhang Shenfei's prestige among the faculty and students of Yenching University.

In November,
Yenching University's annual fall basketball season has begun.

In an era without many entertainment activities, the sports meet was undoubtedly a long-awaited feast for students.

Students in the Chinese Department are weaker than those in other majors, and Class 7 always ranks last in basketball games every year.

But this year it's different!!

With Zhang Shenfei and several students from rural areas who have good physical fitness and have played basketball for a long time, Counselor Li still has high expectations for the ranking their class can get in the basketball game this year.

Every day after school,
Under the urging of the counselor, several people deployed their troops and trained themselves to strive for a ranking.

This went on for half a month, and soon the day of the basketball game arrived.

The school basketball court was full of people, and all the teams participating in the competition were in their positions.

Seeing that students from other classes were all wearing the same team uniform, everyone in Zhang Shenfei's class looked gloomy.

"Student Zhang Shenfei... this is what happened.

You have worked before and know a lot of people, can you help our class get a few sets of uniforms?" Counselor Li looked at Zhang Shenfei eagerly and said.

Zhang Shenfei was speechless for a moment.

Many larger units in Beijing have basketball teams and corresponding team uniforms.

Under normal circumstances, it would be no problem to lend him three or five sets.

It’s just that their class is going to play a game this morning, and now they are talking about borrowing the team uniforms. Isn’t this bullshit?
The child died, and you are breastfeeding? ? ! ! The snot is flowing into your mouth, do you know to throw it away? ?
What have you been doing so far!!!

Zhang Shenfei was puzzled. Why was their class counselor so unreliable no matter what he did?

Could it be that he is also a person with connections who got promoted? ? ? Zhang Shenfei is not just making a guess to slander someone's innocence. There are many people with connections in this era...

For example, Yang Baili, that kid... and the counselor in front of me...

Counselor Li seemed to know that his mistake this time was quite obvious. Seeing that Zhang Shenfei looked unhappy, he pretended not to see it and continued to speak softly.

Zhang Shenfei sighed. Their class was in the third round, which would take about an hour and a half.

There is still time. No matter what, it is impossible that he doesn’t even have his team uniform, right?

Actually, it would be fine if everyone didn't have it, but now other classes have it and only their class doesn't, which is a bit bad.

"Let me think of a way to borrow some clothes."

finished,

He turned around, borrowed a bicycle and rode away.

He came back an hour later and threw a big bag in front of his teammates: "Time is short and the task is heavy. These are the only clothes I can find. Everyone, make do with what you have."

"Something is better than nothing."

A teammate said as he opened his pocket, pulled out a piece of clothing and unfolded it.

"Student Zhang Shenfei is always so reliable. Damn, damn, damn!!! Damn, what the hell is this!!!"

This person had not yet finished flattering the guy when his next words suddenly changed in tone.

Others were about to ask questions.
When she saw the clothes in his hand, she immediately swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

What? ? ? Let everyone wear this, is this really a joke?
This Nima really needs to be relied on!!!

"Come on, beggars, stop complaining about the bad food. Let's change our clothes quickly." Zhang Shenfei was very calm.

After the first two games, Zhang Shenfei led Class 7 of the Chinese Department onto the field with high spirits.

As soon as it appeared,

This immediately caused countless people to burst into laughter and be shocked.

"Oh my god!!! The 49th City Second Prison Basketball Team."

"Awesome! Awesome! The Chinese Department's Class 7 is really different from the others."

"I am dying of laughter."

"So talented, where did you get this uniform from?"

"Did the Chinese Department Class 7 know that they can't beat the Mathematics Department? They deliberately put on this kind of clothes to make the other party laugh to death and win without fighting?"

People in the audience were saying all kinds of things, some were screaming, some were clapping, and some were booing.

The members of Class 7 of the Chinese Department all blushed like monkeys' butts.

"Come on, classmates, you can do it. Class 7 of the Chinese Department is the best." Counselor Li suddenly felt a sense of responsibility. He stood on the sidelines with his hands on his hips and kept shouting at everyone.

Everyone couldn't help but complain in their hearts, if you, the unreliable one, hadn't told us in advance, would we have been laughed at for wearing this outfit?
"Okay, don't be disturbed by the noise from the audience, just play well. If you play well, I'll treat you all to a big dinner in the evening." Zhang Shenfei encouraged everyone.

The whistle sounded.

The basketball was thrown high into the air, and Zhang Shenfei took a quick step forward and grabbed it.

Then he quickly turned around and ran towards the opponent's basket.

After dodging several blockers from the opposing team, he made a three-step layup.

Before anyone could react, the ball went in!!!
Under his leadership and with everyone's hard work over the past few days,

The players of Class 7 of the Chinese Department quickly got into the game, no longer caring about the basketball uniforms with the word "PRISON" on them, and began to launch a fierce attack on the Mathematics Department.

The students present had never seen the Chinese Department’s basketball team so strong before, and they were stunned for a moment.

In the end, Class 7 of the Chinese Department won the game with a score of 67 to 31 and advanced smoothly.

In the next few days of competition,
Under the leadership of Zhang Shenfei, Class 7 made rapid progress, breaking the stereotype that the Chinese department was not good.

The days passed one by one, and soon it was the end of 1958.

In previous years, it would start snowing in the city in the tenth month of the lunar calendar, but this year, all that snowed was salt particles until the twelfth month.

There was less and less fine grain in the grain stores, and the supply of cornmeal began to be interrupted from time to time.

Although cornmeal is not out of stock, it is not available for purchase at any time and place.

Rumors of famine began to spread throughout the city.
