Chapter 185 The Wind Rises
In the blink of an eye, it is July. Time passes by quietly like flowing water, and life gradually returns to normal.
Jiang Defu's work in the military region became increasingly stable, and he was busy with his work every day.
That day, An Jie sat on the sofa at home, picked up the phone and called Jiang Yafei.
Jiang Yafei's clear voice came from the other end of the phone, and An Jie said slowly
"Yafei, your father asked if you still want to join the army. There are vacancies for joining the army in the military district now."
At this time, Jiang Yafei was in Qingdao Publishing House, and everything here made her feel extremely comfortable.
The publishing house was very profitable, and in order to ensure that the employees had satisfactory meals, a chef with superb cooking skills was specially transferred here.
The meals every day are delicious.
The place to live is also very comfortable and the work is easy and there is not too much pressure.
Moreover, the city of Qingdao is far more lively and prosperous than the island, full of vitality and vigor.
Jiang Yafei also earned a lot of money. She often went shopping with the young ladies she met at the publishing house, buying beautiful clothes and various novel gadgets.
Jiang Yafei was so happy at Qingdao Publishing House that she didn't want to leave. After hearing her mother's words, Jiang Yafei hesitated for a moment.
"Mom, let me think about it again! I'm very happy working at Qingdao Publishing House!"
An Jie said earnestly: "Think about it carefully! Serving in the military district will have your father to protect you, and it is also close to home."
However, the wind blew as soon as it was said to blow. In early August 1977, the sun shone on the earth, bringing a hint of warmth.
A major news in the newspaper attracted everyone's attention. The country's top leader held a symposium with more than 30 scientists and educators.
A few days later, another meeting was held, this time to discuss the country's scientific and technological development and education in more depth.
Jiang Weimin found Jiang Yafei with the newspaper in his hand.
"Okay, Jiang Yafei, don't worry about where to work, just focus on preparing for the exam!"
Jiang Yafei took the newspaper with some doubts and read it carefully. After reading it, she frowned slightly and said, "It doesn't say anything!"
Jiang Weimin explained with a serious face: "It didn't say anything! But you have to understand the information revealed in it!"
“The college entrance examination is really going to be restored!”
"I feel that we will definitely receive news about the resumption of the college entrance examination this year at the earliest, or next year at the latest!"
Jiang Yafei was inexplicably excited after hearing this. She suggested, "Let's take advantage of this news to go back home! We haven't been back for a long time, I'll drive this time!"
"Okay, there are still a few boxes of Moutai at home, I'll bring it back for Dad!"
Jiang Yafei heard this and said quickly, "Didn't mom tell dad to drink less? Didn't she also tell you not to move back home?"
Jiang Weimin said nonchalantly: "What I sent was not wine, but filial piety. You don't understand!"
Jiang Yafei rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're the only one who understands. I'll tell mom about you when I get home and kick you out of the house."
Jiang Weimin said confidently: "Then my mother will definitely not let me go!"
The two packed up their things and set out on their journey home.
When they returned home, they saw Wang Haiyang, who looked depressed, in a corner of the family area.
The two looked at each other, said nothing, and went home directly.
The good thing about Jiang Yafei is that she won't rush into anything before she has figured out the details of the matter.
Therefore, Jiang Yafei chose to go home first and make plans after understanding the situation clearly.
After returning home, Jiang Yafei asked An Jie directly, "Mom, I just came back and saw Wang Haiyang. Why does he look so lifeless?"
An Jie sighed slightly and said with a sad look: "Wang Haiyang's mother is dead. I guess he is still grieving now."
Jiang Yafei felt sad after hearing this. "Aunt Zhang still didn't make it! The last time I saw her, she looked OK."
An Jie also sighed: "Alas, things are unpredictable!"
After Jiang Yafei found out the news, she went to find Wang Haiyang.
When she saw Wang Haiyang's lonely figure, she blurted out: "Dandy boy, please accept my condolences!"
Wang Haiyang looked at Jiang Yafei with confusion, not understanding whether she was here to cause trouble or to comfort him.
Jiang Yafei also immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing, and quickly changed her words: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Wang Haiyang, please accept my condolences! Everyone is very sad that Aunt Wang is gone!"
Wang Haiyang looked at Jiang Yafei in silence again. Jiang Yafei began to doubt herself after seeing Wang Haiyang's expression.
Jiang Yafei said cautiously: "Isn't it wrong for me to say that everyone is very sad?"
Wang Haiyang said helplessly: "My mother's last name is Zhang!"
Jiang Yafei blushed immediately and said quickly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was so excited that I called the wrong name!"
Wang Haiyang ignored Jiang Yafei and just stood there quietly, looking into the distance with empty eyes.
Seeing that Wang Haiyang ignored her, Jiang Yafei asked, "What are your plans after coming back this time? Are you going to join the army?"
Wang Haiyang glanced at Jiang Yafei but still said nothing.
Jiang Yafei looked at the silent Wang Haiyang and didn't know what to say, so she stuffed the newspaper in her hand into Wang Haiyang's hand.
"These are some of the recent political developments in the country. You can take a look at them."
After saying that, Jiang Yafei went home.
When Jiang Defu came back, Jiang Weimin couldn't wait to analyze the things in the newspaper carefully.
"Dad, in my opinion, under the current circumstances, if you want Yafei to join the army, you should wait a little longer!
After all, there are signs that the college entrance examination will be resumed, and there may be definite news soon."
Jiang Defu nodded slightly and said calmly: "Let Yafei decide whether to join the army or not.
I just provide her with an opportunity, and it is up to her to choose her own path in life."
Finally, Anjie spoke up, "We've been preparing for a year, and now we have news. Just wait! It won't take too long to join the army."
"Where is the newspaper? Let me take a look?" Jiang Defu said.
Jiang Weimin waved his hand and said, "I don't know."
Jiang Yafei said guiltily: "My mother saw it just now."
"I put it here after I finished reading it! Where did it go?" Anjie said while searching.
"Mom, if you can't find it, don't look for it. Let my dad eat first, and I'll look for it after dinner!"
After hearing this, Anjie nodded and said, "Then let's eat first."
After hearing this, Jiang Yafei breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Weimin suddenly remembered that he had something to say to Jiang Defu, and a slightly flattering smile appeared on his face.
"Dad, I brought you a few boxes of Moutai. They were given to me by those factories because of the design drawings!"
After hearing this, Jiang Defu was silent for a moment and his expression became serious.
Jiang Defu frowned slightly and said slowly: "Wei Min, you are a leader now, don't accept these things in the future.
As a leader, you must set a good example and not lose sight of the big picture.”
Jiang Weimin looked at his father's serious expression, and his heart trembled. He quickly said, "I know, Dad!"
Seeing that Jiang Weimin agreed without any hesitation, Jiang Defu nodded slightly with satisfaction, his eyes revealing approval of his son.
"Dad, I'm going to Jinan in a couple of days to design clothes. Uncle Wang Tie asked me to bring him a jar of tiger bone wine."
After hearing what Jiang Weimin said, Jiang Defu and An Jie looked at each other, and there seemed to be some kind of tacit communication in their eyes.
Afterwards, Jiang Defu said decisively: "We still have two jars at home, give them to him!"
Jiang Weimin was shocked. He had thought it would take some effort to convince his father, but he didn't expect his father to agree so easily.
"Dad, now that you're the head of a military force, your realm has also become higher!"
Jiang Defu glared at Jiang Weimin and said in a feigned anger, "You are itching for trouble, kid! I even dared to tease your father!"
Jiang Weimin smiled, scratched his head and said, "Dad, I drew my uncle Wang so bravely, why didn't you react?
My uncle Wang didn't brag to you! It made me so nervous."
Jiang Defu glanced at Jiang Weimin with disdain, and said with a hint of contempt in his tone: "He is just a little defeated general, and he still has the nerve to show off to me?
But Wei Min, you are so nervous about such a small thing. That's all you can do!
"Have you forgotten about the last time you asked me to revise the drawing? You even specifically told me to kill more people than Uncle Wang!"
"Jiang Weimin, I think you are really itching for trouble!"
