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

Chapter 499 One dollar per room!

Everyone was moved by Zhang Shenfei's speech about heroes.

The first moment we heard that our country had launched the YZD, we felt only excitement and pride.

But after hearing what Zhang Shenfei said, he began to ponder and started to think about those who had been silently contributing behind the scenes.

"I heard on the radio today that YZD was launched in the desert... The environment there is very harsh..."

“After they succeed, they announce it to the whole world, but who knows about their efforts behind the scenes?”

"I think these people, like our people's soldiers, can be called the cutest people."

"Director Zhang is indeed aware of this. We were so busy being proud that we never thought of this..."

"I have to say that I don't know these researchers. If I knew them, I would at least treat them to a meal and give them a glass of wine!!"

"Who says it's not true? If it were me, I would do the same!!"

"Well, people in this line of work hide their identities. Maybe there are some among us, but we don't know about them unless they tell us?"

"I heard that these people were gone for several years."

"Now that you mention it, I suddenly have an impression that there was an eighth-level welder in Shoubi Hutong who was suddenly transferred away..."

"Hiss, let's go to his house tomorrow to have a look..."

Everyone was talking and discussing. The sense of collective honor in this era is so strong.

Although there are many quarrels between neighbors, they are never vague on major issues.

A group of people discussed going to the eighth-level welder’s home to take a closer look at the situation.

Yan Bugui clamored to write an article for the newspaper to express his pride after learning about the outbreak of yzd in our country.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong huddled together and whispered, thinking that since an eighth-level welder could go do YZD, what was the difference between them, one was an eighth-level fitter and the other was a seventh-level supply cutter?

"Didn't you hear what Dafei said just now? Our country will have to study other things next..." When Liu Haizhong spoke, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

He is a seventh-level blacksmith, very impressive, and he might be transferred away someday...

Yi Zhonghai also looked at him and smiled: "If there is such an opportunity, even though I am old, I will rush forward without hesitation.

"What are you talking about? Who wouldn't want a chance to bring honor to the family?" Liu Haizhong rolled his eyes at him.

By this time we had finished watching the movie and it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.

Normally, there would be no sign of a ghost in the courtyard at this time of the day. Every household would have closed their doors and gone to sleep.

Now it is very lively, everyone is discussing the successful launch of yzd, and the people behind it have made great contributions.

Only Zhang Shenfei himself knew why he took the initiative to bring up this topic.

After get off work today, when he was riding his bike past Dongzhimen, he actually saw Tong Luoyang, whom he had not seen for a long time, under the demolished Dongzhimen city tower.

"Brother Dafei, long time no see!" Tong Luoyang was very excited to see Zhang Shenfei. He waved at him excitedly and shouted loudly.

Zhang Shenfei looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man with a scruffy beard standing in the shadow of the corner.

His clothes were very worn, his face was dark and yellow, his hair was dry and frizzy, and he looked like a refugee from the country.

Zhang Shenfei looked at it carefully for a while, and then widened his eyes in disbelief:

"Luoyang? Why is it you? Why are you here?"

Since the two graduated from Yenching University a few years ago, Zhang Shenfei was transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Peeler and Grater Factory.

Tong Luoyang continues to stay in school and work in his mentor's laboratory. It is said that he is doing research following his mentor.

After that, the two hadn't seen each other for several years.

When they met again this time, Zhang Shenfei discovered that Tong Luoyang's face had a vicissitude that was inconsistent with his age, and his body had become exceptionally thin.

It seems like he hasn't had a good time in the past few years...

No, it's not that I'm having a bad time!! When Zhang Shenfei saw the light in Tong Luoyang's eyes, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

A person who does not live a good life will not have such a dazzling light in his eyes.

Maybe Tong Luoyang's material life is not good, but his spiritual life must be extremely rich.

While he was thinking about it, Zhang Shenfei had already pushed his bicycle to Tong Luoyang's side.

He stretched out his left hand and gently hit the other person's chest: "Where have you been since graduation? Why have you been out of touch for so many years?"

"As for me, I'm working with my mentor..." Tong Luoyang's words were very vague. "The project was just completed recently, and I followed my mentor back to Sijiu City to rest for a while."

Who is Zhang Shenfei? He is a man with a very smart mind.

After hearing Tong Luoyang's words, he immediately understood what tasks the other party had been carrying out in recent years.

Yes, a high-end talent who graduated from the Department of Digital Physics of Yenching University suddenly disappeared for so many years.

When it reappears, accompanied by explosive news, does the other party need to say it clearly? ?

"Come on, I'll treat you to dinner tonight. It's a big meal!! I'll give you a nice welcome!" Zhang Shenfei immediately made the invitation.

"Not today, our company has a dinner party today..." Tong Luoyang scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

"Then tomorrow or the day after tomorrow will be fine. It's up to you. I'm always free." Zhang Shenfei said with a smile.

"Hey, you're a department-level official, do you have so much free time? Or do I have so much face in front of you?" Tong Luoyang was a little flattered, and even brought out his hometown accent when he spoke.

Zhang Shenfei looked at him and smiled: "Let's go. We can't have dinner together tonight. I'll treat you to some tea and we can chat..."

The two found a large teapot nearby. You don't need a ticket to drink tea here, but you need to order new tickets to buy snacks.

After sitting down, Zhang Shenfei ordered several snacks to go with the tea in one go. His wealthy appearance scared Tong Luoyang.

"Don't order anymore. You can't finish this much..."

"If you can't finish it, pack it up and take it away. I'll give you a midnight snack tonight." Zhang Shenfei said as he added two more dishes.

When the tea was served, he personally poured a cup for Tong Luoyang, and then pretended to be nonchalant and said: "I see that you have lost a lot of weight and become darker."

"Isn't it? There's nothing we can do about it. The conditions are not good."

"How long will you stay in the Nineteenth City this time?"

"It shouldn't be too long. I came back mainly for business. Also, the house we rent now is too small. I plan to take some time to look around and rent a bigger one." Although Tong Luoyang's hometown is Luocheng, he has settled in Sijiu City. In addition to his wife, he also has a child.

Usually he is away from home, and his wife and children live in a small house of ten square meters. Now that the child is growing up, he wants to rent a bigger house, or at least separate a room for the child.

Zhang Shenfei pinched a glutinous rice stick and chewed it slowly. After swallowing it, he said, "Don't look for it anymore. I have a house in Andingmen, which is empty anyway.

You can live there with your brother and sister-in-law, and you can help me look after the house." The gold foil in the pond of the house he bought before had been cleared out after he transported it like an ant moving house over the years.

It would be a waste to leave the house there, so Zhang Shenfei planned to let Tong Luoyang live there.

"What does the house look like?" Tong Luoyang asked.

“It was originally a quadrangle with a side courtyard, but later the original landlord rented out both sides.

Later, only the main yard was left to me, and the main yard was actually not small, with more than ten rooms. "

In front of his friend who slept on the upper bunk during college, Zhang Shenfei did not hide anything.

He knew everything and even told others that he bought the house later.

Tong Luoyang was so scared when he heard this that he immediately waved his hands: "More than a dozen rooms, then we can't live in it. There are only three people in our family, and two rooms are enough."

Not to mention the waste of having too many houses, the rent of one room is only three or four yuan. If he rents more than ten rooms at once, the rent for one month alone will be several hundred yuan. How can he afford it? ? ?

Although Zhang Shenfei said that he would let them live there for free, he planned to pay rent.

"We are all brothers, so just stay if we ask you to." Zhang Shenfei handed him a pancake and said casually.

"That's not the case. Housing on the 4th and 9th floors is so tight right now. In our unit, many people have three generations of a family living together...

If my family of three lived in such a big house, I would feel guilty." Tong Luoyang explained.

Zhang Shenfei pondered for a while, then waved his hand and said, "The house is empty anyway. Ask your colleagues later, and anyone who wants to live there can go ahead.

The rent is one dollar per room. No matter the size of the room, it is first come, first served. "

These people have made great contributions to the country's strength, and Zhang Shenfei originally wanted to say that everything is free.

But if that were the case, I was afraid that these people would have doubts, so in the end I just set a friendly price.

Tong Luoyang was a little confused, but he was not stupid. He had already guessed that Zhang Shenfei might have guessed what they were doing.

I also understand how important what we do is to the country.

That is why he is well aware of Zhang Shenfei's current attitude.

His work must be kept secret, and even if the other party guesses it, he cannot reveal it.

The two of them finalized the matter in a vague manner. Tong Luoyang slammed the table and said, "There will be a company dinner tonight. I will tell everyone then... We will all be so happy to have a big house to live in."

"Okay, then you can handle this matter yourself. No need to tell me anymore." Zhang Shenfei said as he pretended to take out the key to the courtyard house from his shirt pocket, but actually took it out from the space, put it on the table, and gently pushed it to Tong Luoyang's hand.

"The house number is... You can go there first and pick the room you like best."

"Of course I do. We are brothers. How can I not take advantage of my brother?" Tong Luoyang first smiled with his mouth wide open, but suddenly his eyes changed and he covered his stomach with his right hand.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Shenfei asked hurriedly.

"It's okay. Maybe the snacks I ate just now were a bit hard, and now my stomach hurts a bit." Tong Luoyang took a deep breath and replied.

"Didn't you have stomach problems before?" Zhang Shenfei frowned.

"It's not like I'm working, I always eat at irregular times... I got stomach problems after a while...

It's okay, it's a common disease in our unit."

As Tong Luoyang spoke, he picked up the tea bowl from the table and took small sips.

Drinking some hot water when you have a stomachache can make you feel much better. As for the snacks on the table, you can only eat the soft ones and not eat the hard ones like you did just now.

Seeing him like that, Zhang Shenfei felt mixed emotions.

"Wait a moment……"

After saying this, he strode out of the teahouse, and when he came back again, he was holding a box of stomach medicine in his hand.

"Take one." After saying this, he took out a pill and handed it to the other person.

"It's okay. It's an old illness of mine. I just need to drink some hot water and rest for a while." Tong Luoyang said as he grabbed the tea bowl again.

"Don't force me to feed you." Zhang Shenfei stuffed the pill into his hand without hesitation. "Gastric disease can be serious or minor. You have to take it seriously! Take it seriously, understand?"

Hiss! ! Tong Luoyang didn't want him to feed him, so he had no choice but to swallow the pills obediently.

During the second half of the tea party, Zhang Shenfei was educating him about taking care of his body and spreading knowledge about how to nourish the stomach.

After Tong Luoyang's stomachache was completely relieved, the two agreed on the next time they would meet and then parted.

On the way back to the courtyard, Zhang Shenfei kept thinking of Tong Luoyang, the 18-year-old boy who was admitted to Yenching University, and the image of the young man who looked several years older than he had just seen. The images kept interweaving and appearing in front of his eyes.

Also because of this,

He couldn't help but say those words when he heard everyone in the courtyard discussing the launch of yzd.

If unknown heroes are destined to be unknown heroes, then at least when we are proud of their achievements, we can also pay some respect to them in our hearts!!!
……

Not long after Zhang Shenfei returned home after the open-air movie in the courtyard was over, he heard a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, I saw Yan Bugui coming in with a notebook.

"Director Zhang, let me report to you that we sold a total of 48 adult tickets and 36 children's tickets for tonight's open-air movie, with a total revenue of 3.3 yuan..."

"I discussed it with the first and second uncles and decided to use the money to buy 15 kilograms of salt, 15 kilograms of soy sauce, and 15 kilograms of vinegar and distribute them to every household."

There are now fifteen households living in the courtyard, and each family has just one pound of salt, one pound of vinegar, and one pound of soy sauce.

As for the previous suggestion of dividing it by headcount, that was too troublesome and complicated, so they simply ignored it.

"Buying so much?" Zhang Shenfei raised his eyebrows in surprise, "I didn't realize that you are so influential, Master Yan, that you can get such a large quantity of seasonings.

Nowadays, you need tickets for everything from oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. Yet, Yan Bugui, a primary school teacher, was able to buy so many things without any tickets.

It seems that what our ancestors said about not judging a person by his appearance does make sense.

Zhang Shenfei had just finished praising Yan Bugui for a few words when he saw Yan Bugui's face instantly become stiff.

His eyes flashed and he asked, "What's wrong? Is there any difficulty?"

"Well, it's not that my student's family can't get it..." When he said this, a hint of shame flashed in Yan Bugui's eyes.

It was clearly him who made the boast in front of all the neighbors in the courtyard, saying that he would get the things when he found a channel.

Now, everything is in place, but I can’t get it out.

In desperation, he had to ask Zhang Shenfei for help, his old face flushed red.

Fortunately, Zhang Shenfei did not make things difficult for him. After asking about the reason, he directly wrote him a note and asked him to go to Dengzhan Hutong Supply and Marketing Cooperative to find Bai Xinsheng tomorrow.
