1968: Started from breeding

Chapter 151 This is the gift for you
After Su Wenchen was brought to the warehouse by Zhang Qianjin.

Drag out two large suitcases directly.

"Crack!"

After opening it, Su Wenchen was instantly attracted by what was inside.

"A movie projector?"

Looking at the two wheel-like things fixed on the machine in front of him, Su Wenchen exclaimed subconsciously.

Zhang Qianjin nodded, walked forward and said.

"A 16mm Changjiang brand projector. I asked my wife's boss to get it for me when we were building the factory! She works at the Shanghai Film Studio, so it's quite convenient."

"Otherwise, this thing wouldn't have been so easy to handle in the first place."

Su Wenchen looked at the other party hesitantly.

"Brother, what do you use on your farm?"

Zhang Qianjin smiled and patted the suitcase which was covered with dust.

"Haha, we changed to a 35mm Jiefang brand projector last year. It was produced by our local machinery factory in Shanghai. But we can't give it to you because the production is very small and it has not been mass-produced until now!"

"But I can't give this to you. I only got it because of the favor from the boss."

"But don't worry, this 16mm is enough for you, and there is absolutely no problem with the stuff. We also have film, and you can copy the dozen or so movies we have in the studio."

"I can't say anything else, but in terms of the number of films, your city's projection team definitely doesn't have as many as ours."

"I copied all the ones from the Shanghai Film Studio."

Su Wenchen looked down and saw two large suitcases containing movie projectors.

Then Zhang Qianjin raised his head and smiled bitterly.

"Brother, I really can't refuse you!"

In Su Wenchen's heart, he owed a favor again, and this was obviously what Zhang Qianjin wanted.

Su Wenchen knew how difficult it was to operate a movie projector nowadays.

This thing will never appear on the market. It is generally distributed to relevant units and cultural propaganda departments in various places.

Even if Su Wenchen has a chance to get it in Lan City, he still has to ask others for help, and he has to ask two people who are useful in speaking.

If they don't ask others to queue up slowly, they probably won't be able to see a movie in the next five years.

Not to mention there were a dozen or so reels of film left to copy.

Su Wenchen's memory showed that the projection team in their county only had two movies in total.

One is Railway Guerrillas and the other is Long Live the Nation.

Only these two films are shown every time, and even if they are only shown once every few years, there are still huge crowds of people going to watch them every time.

After hearing what Su Wenchen said, Zhang Qianjin waved his hand indifferently.

"Okay, brother, we will have the opportunity to continue communicating with each other in the future. We are all brothers."

"Why are you so polite?"

"By the way, we have to use the film ourselves so we can't give it to you, but you can take the letter of introduction from your company and go to our movie equipment store to buy some. Except for the projectors, they have all other movie supplies."

"There are also easily consumable parts. You'd better buy a few extra as backup. After all, movie equipment stores are only found in big cities now, and it's not easy to make a trip there."

Things have come to this point, so it is naturally impossible for Su Wenchen to refuse.

He also roughly knew what Zhang Qianjin was thinking. The other party might still want their Blue Water Rooster.

It’s just that he may be planning to take it slow, otherwise he wouldn’t continue to invest.

Even if Su Wenchen knew it, he had no way to refuse because the bait offered by the other party was very tempting.

When Su Wenchen comes, if the other party can really take out something that he is particularly interested in.

It’s not that we can’t continue communicating.

After saying hello to Zhang Qianjin, Su Wenchen prepared to leave with his men the next day.

He planned to take the ferry and stay in the city for one night.

Then he also gave a day off to everyone who came with him.

On the way back to the city, everyone was carrying bags of all sizes.

Fortunately, Su Wenchen had already mailed all the valuable things back.

Otherwise you can’t take it back.

However, on the way back to the city, Su Wenchen and his companions were not conspicuous at all, because during this period, anyone who was sent on a business trip would basically not return empty-handed.

After all, those who can be sent to big cities must be important figures in various factories. Even if the place they are in is backward, these people can't be that poor.

Because those who are really poor have no chance to take the train here.

"Woo!!!"

A loud whistle sounded, and the train slowly pulled into Lan City Railway Station.

At the platform.

After the hustle and bustle, Su Wenchen led a group of people and finally squeezed off the train.

Looking at the platform of Lanshi Railway Station, it is obviously much smaller than that of Shanghai Railway Station.

For some reason, he felt more at ease standing here than in Shanghai.

After looking around, Su Wenchen found that no one was missing.

"Let's go, get out of the platform. I've asked the station to drive over to pick us up."

When Su Wenchen left the train station, he immediately saw the military green freight truck they were seeing on the roadside.

At this time, although medium-sized freight trucks are not particularly rare in Lan City, they are relatively rare.

At this time, the driver of the chicken farm had already been waiting next to the truck.

After putting their luggage into the truck bed, the group immediately climbed into the bed with excitement on their faces.

They no longer had the depressed look they had on the train before, and were obviously looking forward to returning home.

along the way.

For example, Xu Xiangqian and several others lived in the county, so Su Wenchen also asked a car to take them to the main road in the county.

There were also several employees from the surrounding brigades, and Su Wenchen asked the drivers to take them to their brigades.

When the car drove to Pingcun Brigade.

This time there was no scene of a crowd of people watching.

Because at this time, most members of the brigade were threshing corn in the threshing ground.

Since we were away for about a month this time, the team's corn had already been harvested.

However, the harvest of corn is different from that of wheat. It is harvested much faster.

The subsequent threshing was very time-consuming in that era, because whether it was paying public grain or selling state-purchased grain, only corn kernels were required.

At this time, most brigades did not even have electricity, and threshing was entirely done by manpower.

Generally, a hand-cranked corn thresher is used, combined with traditional hand peeling.

After all, even if there are hand-cranked corn threshers, there are not many in a brigade, and the main force of threshing still has to rely on the members to do it manually.

If someone without calluses on their hands does this, their hands will basically be rubbed red after a day's work.

After Su Wenchen opened the door of the Su family.

The yard was deserted.

Only in the yard over there on the eldest brother's side, after hearing the noise here, a little head popped out of the window of the house.

When he saw that it was Su Wenchen who came back, a smile of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

Because Su Wenchen told him at that time that he would bring him toys from Shanghai, so this kid is now counting the days until Su Wenchen comes back.

After all, not a single kid in their entire commune primary school had any of the toys from Shanghai.

Besides, he had heard that in big cities there were iron slingshots, iron cars, and iron frogs that could jump by themselves.

If he had one, no one in the whole school could compare to him.

Thinking of this, Xiao Shitou immediately waved and shouted excitedly towards Su Wenchen.

"Uncle, you're back! I'm here."

As he spoke, he climbed out of the window, not even bothering to put on his shoes, and simply stepped over the low wooden railing and flipped over.

Su Wenchen looked at the other person unhappily upon seeing this.

"Why are you in such a hurry? You don't even wear shoes. Your feet will be scratched soon." Shitou didn't care when he heard Su Wenchen's words.

"Uncle, it's okay. I don't wear shoes when it's hot. The leather is thick and won't get pierced. What did you bring?"

After saying this, she revealed a pair of sparkling eyes and looked at Su Wenchen expectantly.

Su Wenchen naturally knew what the other party was thinking.

A child!

When elders in the family go on a long journey, especially if they promise to bring back things, I will really take it to heart.

Su Wenchen would naturally not say anything wrong.

"Don't worry, my uncle never goes back on his word. I will definitely bring you a gift, but you have to help me take it back first."

As he said that, he turned around and started moving the things placed at the door inside.

And asked casually.

"By the way, where are the family members? Are they still harvesting corn?"

Xiao Shitou nodded while helping Su Wenchen take the package in.

"They are all working in the threshing floor! What gift did you bring, uncle?"

"Is it a slingshot? A car? Or marbles?"

"Uncle, I heard that the marbles in big cities are different from those here."

"Niu Niu's uncle works in the city. The marbles I brought him were the opaque ones, colorful and beautiful. I beat him by several. Now he won't play marbles with me anymore!"

Su Wenchen smiled and teased him.

"Neither. This gift is guaranteed to surprise you."

After moving all the things into the house, Su Wenchen rummaged around for a while and found the gifts his nephew had bought.

He first took out a book from it.

"Here, this series of math, physics and chemistry self-study books is for you. Take it! Although high school has stopped now, the learning of knowledge cannot stop."

"When you go to junior high school, read it more when you have time. It will be helpful to you in the future."

In fact, for Su Wenchen, this book is the only one he has, and it is a gift he specially chose for his nephew.

The rest are just incidental.

Because the other party waited until he graduated from junior high school, and at that time there were still several years before the resumption of the college entrance examination.

The other party either has to come back to work or go to work for him.

For most people, this may be good enough.

However, Su Wenchen, who knew history, was clear that the college students of previous years were very valuable. As the only person of the right age in the family, he naturally hoped that the other person would have a better future.

After all, it was impossible for him to take the college entrance examination, because ten years later, he would probably be able to get a job at least at the department or bureau level.

At that time, he, a leader, resigned from his position to take the college entrance examination, and then went out to work as a clerk?
Isn't this funny?

For Su Wenchen, even if he went for further studies, he would go to the Party School. He and the college students were not on the same track at all.

Because after graduation, college students also work under his command.

On the other side, Little Stone naturally couldn't understand Su Wenchen's painstaking efforts.

He looked at the book in his hand with a confused look on his face.

There was a look of aggrievedness in his eyes, as if he was about to cry. He had been waiting for this gift for a month.

It’s actually a book?

It's still a book that is hard to understand.

At this moment, his little heart was broken.

Because he had already boasted at school that his uncle would definitely bring him toys from the big city.

Now he has thought about what he will encounter when he returns to school after the two-day vacation.

A bunch of friends surrounded him, but he couldn't say a word.

All kinds of complex emotions such as grievance, discomfort, and wanting to cry emerged one by one in the little guy's heart.

Su Wenchen saw that his nephew was about to cry.

I'm not going to tease him anymore.

"Okay, okay, I didn't say there was only one gift."

As he said that, he took out a toy wrapped in paper and handed it over.

After the other party opened it, he saw a brand new green tin frog inside.

Immediately delighted.

He immediately sniffed the snot that was about to flow out of his nose out of excitement.

"Uncle, is this the kind of tin frog that jumps automatically?"

Su Wenchen nodded.

"Well, there's a spring at the back. If you turn it a few times and put it on the ground, it will jump by itself."

"Okay, go have fun by yourself! I need to take a break too."

But after saying this, Su Wenchen picked up the self-study series of mathematics, physics and chemistry and handed it over.

Then he looked at the other person seriously.

"Take this book back and try to read it if you can. If you don't understand, you can ask your teacher for help."

"This will still be very important to you in the future, and this is my real gift to you."

"But if you can't learn this, forget it. You'll be the one who regrets it anyway."

In Su Wenchen's mind, if the other party could listen and learn the entire book, it would not be a problem for him to get into university.

Because the first exam is relatively the easiest, and everyone is an educated youth who has been working in the countryside for many years.

I have basically forgotten most of what I learned before.

Except for a very few, most of them are just cramming at the last minute.

If you review this book from time to time, even getting into a good university won't be a problem.

On the other side, Xiao Shitou heard Su Wenchen's words. At his current age, he had never thought about something so far in the future.

But he only knew one thing, that his uncle was now the most powerful person in the family.

Because his mother talks about how great his uncle is every day at home, so what his uncle says must be right.

So he nodded and agreed.

"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely watch it!"

Su Wenchen waved his hand.

"Okay, I won't follow you around, it's up to you whether you want to watch or not."

"Go back and play! I need to rest too."

Su Wenchen would not interfere with whether his nephew would study or not, how many days he would study, or whether he could persist.

Please help me and give me some advice.

If you interfere too much, not only may others not appreciate it, it may also have a counterproductive effect. Why bother?

After the people left.

Su Wenchen yawned and fell asleep on the kang.

Wait until he wakes up again.

Su Wenchen looked outside through the paper-covered window and found that it was completely dark outside.

Only in the main room next door where my parents lived was the light of a kerosene lamp.

From time to time, there were whispers coming from the room.

Su Wenchen fumbled to put on his coat and stretched vigorously.

During this month, whether in the car or in Shanghai, Su Wenchen had a good place to live.

But I never slept as soundly as I did just now.

To him, his home was simple and not even as comfortable as a soft sleeper on a train.

But it is indeed a place that can make him feel at peace, where he doesn't have to rack his brains to guard against this or calculate that.
