In 1978, I was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 47 Principal Li asks for funding: We don’t have any money anyway, so hurry up and go through the process of asking for money
"Interested! Very interested!"

The few people who were originally in low spirits suddenly became excited.

Once you get into university, everything is covered by the government. Not only do you not have to pay tuition, but the government also provides you with books and scholarships.

实验班所有人更是都拿着甲等助学金：每月12元以饭菜票的形式发放（9元菜金，30斤粮食定量饭票3元），7块5的副食补贴，则是现金发放。

The salary of an apprentice who has just entered the factory is only 18 yuan.

The school's food rations and non-staple food subsidies are enough to get enough to eat, but not enough if you want to eat well or exercise too much.

There was no chance to earn money or food coupons.

How can I not be excited when there is a subsidy for going to the chemistry lab?
Even Yao Xinwei, whose parents both work, was excited. He was the only one in the class whose parents both work, and the average monthly income was more than 30 yuan. He did not receive any scholarships, and had to pay for the meal tickets for 30 kilograms of grain and the vegetable tickets himself.

"Squad leader, how many people do you want? If you want fewer people, I won't go."

Yao Xinwei looked at Zhang Jingyan and Tang Long with eager eyes and sighed.

"Yes, there are not many people needed, so I won't go either. Let the eldest and the second brother go."

Feng Ke also nodded hurriedly.

Although they also wanted to go, Zhang Jingyan and Tang Long, who had settled down in the countryside and had children, needed the opportunity more.

Zhang Jingyan and Tang Long looked at Xie Wei eagerly, not refusing for the sake of face.

"???"

Xie Wei looked at them in confusion.

"The eldest and second brother married local lesbians in the place where they were sent to work in the countryside, and they both have children..."

As soon as Yao Xinwei explained, Xie Wei understood.

Zhang Jingyan and Tang Long settled down and had children in the rural areas where they were sent to work. When they went to college, their family lost their "footworker" (Note 1). Even if a woman was young and strong, her footwork was only 8 centimeters a day, and she also had to take care of the children...

"Is this common in class?" Xie Wei frowned and asked Yao Xinwei, "The lab only needs 6 people at most."

Although he would rather have all the dormitories participate, he understood the times.

Even if you have one more pound of food coupons, in the countryside, you can add some coarse grains, wild vegetables and more water and have a few more meals.

After being crowned as the squad leader and learning about the situation, Xie Wei had to think about it.

Several people shook their heads.

"We'll figure it out later, and give priority to students from families in difficulty. Lao Li, Lao Feng, if there are many students in difficulty in the class, you'll have to wait a little longer."

Xie Wei said apologetically to Feng Ke and Li Chuangxin.

"Squad leader, I come from the countryside. Although my family is poor, we won't starve."

Li Chuangxin replied with a smile.

"My family doesn't need my subsidies. Before I came here, my parents agreed to send me 5 yuan per month to subsidize me."

Seeing that the two had no objection, Xie Wei felt deeply moved that those who could get into university these days were still very conscious.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He didn't want to ruin his relationship with his roommates because of this; they had to live together for four years.

After breakfast, Xie Wei and Yao Xinwei went to find Luo Yang together.

When reporting for admission, each person is given a family income survey form with the official seal of the unit, and the school awards scholarships based on family income.

"Xie Wei, it was indeed a good decision to choose you as the squad leader!"

When Luo Yang knew the purpose of Xie Wei's visit, his eyes were full of approval.

"Class teacher, I want to take six students to the chemistry lab. Is that okay?"

Xie Wei asked Luo Yang.

"The experimental class is supposed to participate in various projects."

Luo Yang didn't care. "However, there are 7 people in the class with the same situation, and there are only 6 places for you. If you are included..."

"I'm not on the list. You should talk to your classmates first for details."

Xie Wei was also a little embarrassed.

It is not a problem to arrange one more person, but in the laboratory, we still have to reserve a place for the chemistry major.

"You help them get the opportunity, and you talk to them."

Luo Yang directly rejected Xie Wei's request to talk to his classmates, "I will go talk to the person who can't go."

"……"Before class, Xie Wei did not enter the classroom, but asked Yao Xinwei to help call out several students one by one to understand the situation individually.

Except for Zhang Jingyan and Feng Ke in the dormitory, the other four classmates all come from poor families.

Xie Wei was worried.

6 is the limit.

There is also Wei Bingkun who has not been discussed.

"Monitor, I'm not interested in chemistry experiments. And my advanced math and physics foundations are weak. If I do experiments, I won't have time to catch up on my basics."

To Xie Wei's surprise, Wei Bingkun refused before he could finish speaking.

Looking at Wei Bingkun with a determined look on his face, Xie Wei thought he didn't know about the subsidy.

Thinking that Wei Bingkun had three children at home in the countryside and his wife was not in good health, he hurriedly explained: "Old Wei, there is a subsidy of half a pound of food and 20 cents a day."

"Monitor, I want a subsidy, too. Chemistry experiments take too much time."

Wei Bingkun still refused to go.

Yesterday, I took the opportunity to report my work to get in touch with the secretary of the school Youth League Committee. I have to report my work again today to see if there is anything I can do in the Youth League Committee. Why should I waste time in the chemistry laboratory?

Xie Wei naturally didn't know what Wei Bingkun was thinking.

They were all adults who had been beaten by society, and seeing Wei Bingkun insisting, Xie Wei did not insist any longer.

After finalizing the candidates, Xie Wei reported the list directly to Luo Yang. Luo Yang brought the people out, and Xie Wei took them directly to the chemical laboratory, starting their hard-working career, no, research work!

······
"Old Chief, are you busy?"

After arriving in the capital, the dusty Li Rui took a bus directly to the headquarters of the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building without even having time to rest.

Instead of looking for the relevant person in charge of the management bureau, he went straight into the leader's office.

"What are you here for?"

The leader who was busy reading the documents saw that it was Li Rui and immediately frowned, "Aren't you busy with your school work? Why do you come to me all day?"

"Busy. But I have to come here to report my work and listen to the advice of the old leader. Without the guidance of the old leader, it is easy to go astray..."

Seeing that there was not much water left in the leader's teacup, Li Rui picked up the thermos beside him and added water to the leader's cup while answering with a smile.

"Don't give me that! You're just pretending to report your work, but you're really asking for money, right?"

The leader snorted coldly, put down the documents in his hand, and his face became serious. "Comrade Li Rui, you know the situation in the department. The 300 million in front is all that is left in the department."

"I know I know!"

Li Rui nodded with a smile on his face, "Leader, please have some tea."

"No money!"

“I really don’t want any money this time.”

cut!
The leader looked at Li Rui with disdain, "Since there is no money, isn't it time to slam the table? Hurry up, finish the process, and get out. I'll continue to work!"

From the Autumn Harvest Uprising to the Long March, to the Anti-Japanese War and the subsequent Liberation War, although the leaders with military backgrounds no longer have the fiery temper they once had, they still don't have much to do with a tough guy like Li Rui.

Just get rid of it.

Want money?

Definitely not.

“It’s really free.”

Li Rui hurriedly explained.

"Don't give me that! If you don't want to slam the table, then start throwing a tantrum. We've gone through the process, but there's no money anyway. Tell me, how much do you want this time?"

As Li Rui's old superior, the leader is well aware of Li Rui's tactics.

It’s not easy to be a leader without money: even if you don’t have money to give, you still have to listen to the demands of your subordinates.

"So I spoke up?"

Principal Li still had a smile on his face as he stared at the old leader. He saw him grab the teacup, then he took a deep breath and put it down, only to glare at him with murderous eyes.

"Old Chief, this time I came here, I just want the ministry to give me a policy..."

"Oh, you've changed your tactics? Did you ask for the policy and then ask for supporting funds?"

The leader didn't believe Li Rui's words at all.
