Chapter 2517 Letter to Father
The next day, afternoon!
Downstairs in the Ninth Department's office building, Yang Xiaotao and his men welcomed Mosidov and Alfat into the reception room.
The two sides exchanged a few polite words and then finished the "business" that was not completed yesterday.
This includes the various projects of cooperation among the nine departments, finalizing the cooperation methods, cooperation time, and the final benefits.
Yang Xiaotao, Li Hongfeng and Yang Youning were together. Most of the time, it was Li Hongfeng who spoke, and there were people arranged by their superiors beside them.
Mosidov did the same, leaving the negotiations to the people he brought with him.
Finally, Mosidov, Yang Xiaotao and Alfat came to the lounge next to the conference room.
"Yang, I'll have to trouble you to look after little Alphat this time!"
"You are too polite. We are brothers and friends. Even if you don't tell me, I will protect him!"
"No matter what, I still want to thank you!"
Mosidov spoke very sincerely, and Alfat's expression on the side also improved a lot, and he looked at Yang Xiaotao with more intimacy.
"Have you completed all the formalities for your school?"
Yang Xiaotao asked with concern, and Alpha nodded, "Everything has been arranged in the morning, and the school textbooks have been distributed!"
"All the courses were given to me, but I'm a transfer student, so my courses are a little different from others."
Yang Xiaotao immediately showed an envious expression after hearing this, "That's great too, at least it's much better than me who didn't even go to college!"
Alfate looked at Yang Xiaotao in surprise, "Brother Yang didn't go to college?"
Mosidov smiled aside. He knew about Yang Xiaotao's affairs, but he just didn't tell Alfat.
"Yeah, no!"
At this point, Alfat's face showed some surprise.
"That's nothing to be surprised about!"
Yang Xiaotao smiled and told him about his situation. Alfat, who was standing beside him, was surprised and even more confused after hearing it!
Originally, he thought that since Yang Xiaotao had this ability, he must have graduated from a prestigious university and must have received higher education.
But unexpectedly, the other party didn't even finish high school.
What is even more unexpected is that the other party actually chose to become a worker.
If it were him, he would definitely not choose this way.
Isn’t it good to study in school?
With the talent Yang Xiaotao has shown, he will definitely achieve greater success.
As for working in the workshop, he had never thought about it.
“Brother Yang, I didn’t expect you to have so many things to do!”
There were so many words to say, Alfate could only sigh.
At the same time, there is some sympathy.
He and Yang Xiaotao are the same, both lost their mothers when they were young.
He was lucky enough to have his father by his side as he grew up.
And Yang Xiaotao...
From this perspective, she is much stronger than him.
Yang Xiaotao shook his head. “Those things are in the past.”
"We still have to move forward, so we have to look ahead!"
"Besides, temporary difficulties are nothing. The most frightening thing is to lose the courage to face difficulties."
Mosidov smiled and nodded. Who doesn't want to see their own children grow up?
Alphate nodded vigorously, "I understand!"
Then the three of them talked about school. Alfat only has three classes a week, and not only does he have two days off a week, but he also enjoys subsidies for international students.
Speaking of subsidies, Yang Xiaotao felt uncomfortable when he heard Alfat talk about the monthly allowance of 200 yuan.
Not only were tuition and accommodation waived, but there was no restriction on the supply of daily necessities requiring tickets. Daily breakfast included milk and eggs, and one could freely purchase goods with cash.
Here, here coming to school doesn't mean spending money, this means making money for the family!
Of course, Mosidov's family is not short of this little money.
But I felt uncomfortable listening to it.
Workshop workers work very hard and only earn fifty or sixty yuan a month, which they have to buy with coupons. Life is hard to support a family.
That’s great, three classes a week and the salary is higher than that of the factory manager!
Yang Xiaotao was unhappy but didn't show it.
That's how it is these days.
It will probably take decades before the policy can be changed.
Hence that saying.
When we were in school, we went to school to earn money.
When we go to school, it costs money to go to school…
The three of them were chatting casually in the lounge, mostly Yang Xiaotao and Alfat talking. They talked about mechanical processing and cars and were particularly interested.
Yang Xiaotao has already thought of the arrangements for Alfat's internship program.
Just design and produce cars.
There just so happens that there is a design drawing of a car in the system space. If nothing works, just take it out and use it to save it from taking up space!
The two of them forgot about time as they chatted, and only returned to the meeting room reluctantly after being reminded by Mosidov.
At this moment, the meeting room, which had been somewhat tense, was now peaceful.
Li Hongfeng and Liu Huaimin were all smiling, and when Yang Xiaotao came in, they winked at him. It was obvious that the final result was good.
Of course, Yang Xiaotao had guessed this a long time ago.
After all, this is a request for help, and Mosidov is not a stingy person, so he will definitely make concessions.
Finally, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Mosidov and Yang Xiaotao signed and stamped the final cooperation book.
From this moment on, the cooperation between the two parties was officially established!
……
As the cooperation between the nine departments was finalized, the countdown to Mosidov's departure also began.
Three days later, the airport.
Yang Xiaotao followed behind Mr. Chen to say farewell.
Mosidov patted Arfat's shoulder, and the reluctance and expectation in his eyes made the people around him feel uncomfortable.
"How are you going to arrange it?"
Old Chen turned his head and asked Yang Xiaotao.
"Alfat studied mechanical processing and he is very fond of cars."
"So, I plan to set up an automotive research center in the Nine Departments and find some people to accompany him!"
Yang Xiaotao expressed his plan. Of course, the premise of all this was that Alfat was interested.
If the other person doesn't want to do it, then change someone else.
However, Mr. Chen didn't take it seriously. He thought it didn't matter what he studied, as long as he could arrange the people and spend the next two years in peace and stability.
“It’s a good idea to set up a separate department.”
"As long as he likes it!"
The two of them talked briefly, and Alfat watched Mosidov board the plane.
As the final wave was blocked by the cabin door and the roar of the plane faded away, Alfat, standing on the runway, burst into tears.
"Come on, I'll show you around your new job!"
Yang Xiaotao walked forward and patted Alfat on the shoulder.
Alfate wiped away his tears and nodded.
My father once said that independence is a necessity for a man’s growth!
The two left the airport and returned to Jiubu.
In the office, Yang Xiaotao asked Liu Lixue to pour a glass of water for Alfate, and then asked, "Alfate, I want to know, what do you want to learn?"
Alfat was thanking Liu Lixue when he suddenly heard Yang Xiaotao say this and immediately looked puzzled.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao knocked on the table and said, "Well, let me tell you about our main business projects now."
Alfate put down his cup and listened carefully.
Yang Xiaotao started from the beginning, "Our main projects now include machinery, chemical engineering, manufacturing, and medicine."
"Which one do you want to learn?"
Alfate didn't hesitate, "Brother Yang, I choose mechanics!"
"Well, sure, this fits in with your major!"
Yang Xiaotao was not surprised. The reason he proposed four options was more to make Alfat feel respected.
"We also have many branches in the field of mechanics!" Alfate's eyes widened with interest.
Yang Xiaotao introduced, "This aspect is divided into household, agricultural, industrial machinery and military machinery!"
Alfate hesitated.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao continued, "For home use, we have pressure cookers, rice cookers, heating stoves, air conditioners, etc."
"Agricultural machinery is basically agricultural machinery, such as tractors, tricycles, threshers, etc."
"By the way, they are now researching combine harvesters. If you are interested, you can go and have a look!"
"Industrial machinery, the main focus here is on machine tool research, including milling machines, lathes, grinders, etc. We have a research institute and now we also have projects..."
"In terms of military achievements, they are mainly armored vehicles and tanks. There are many research topics here, such as automatic loaders and infrared instruments..."
Yang Xiaotao explained the general situation one by one, and Alfat became even more confused.
"Well, Brother Yang, what do you think I should choose?"
Alfat passed the question to Yang Xiaotao.
"this…"
"However, you still have to go to school to study, and you will have to adapt to this period of time."
"Well, go down there and take a look during this time, think about it, and tell me if you're interested."
Alfate nodded immediately, "Okay, I think it's okay!"
He also wanted to take a good look at the Nine Parts and understand them.
When I get back later, maybe I can help my father build a Jiubu.
After the two men finished discussing the matter, Yang Xiaotao took Alfat back to the courtyard.
Tonight, Yang Xiaotao wants to celebrate for Alfat.
Celebrate being a member of the Nine Divisions.
……
Time is like the snowflakes outside. Every time they appear, several days have passed.
Just as Alfat counted the third time it had snowed, it was already the end of December.
In the school dormitory, Alfat rubbed his hands. Even though the heater was on, he still felt cold.
Wherever you look, you can see many laughing figures in the midst of the cold silence.
Looking at those people running, chasing and playing snowball fights in the snow, Alfat felt a little envious.
I just thought about the last time I went out, I sweated a lot, and then caught a cold when I turned around.
That time, he had a cough, a stuffy nose, and tears, and he felt terribly uncomfortable.
However, it was also because of that cold that he discovered a good thing.
Thinking of this, Alfat lowered his head and picked up the pen.
I continue writing while my thoughts are in a mess.
Father, this is the third snow since I came to Sijiucheng.
Sijiucheng is a magical place. Every time it snows, the weather gets colder, but people outside don’t seem to feel the cold. They build snowmen, have snowball fights, and slide on the snow.
My schoolmate, Bogdani from Banya, told me that he has been studying here for two years and is very familiar with the climate here. He said that the summer is very hot and the winter is very cold. The people here are very friendly to him...
Here, I also feel the enthusiasm of teachers and classmates, they will always be there when you need help.
I also know that there are many cultures here and people from different places can become friends...
Father, life at school makes me happy and I don’t have the worries I originally had.
What makes me happiest is what I learned in the ninth part...
Jiubu is a very, very great place.
Their research is amazing just by listening to it.
With the introduction of Brother Yang, I met a very great professor, Professor Ye, they all call him Teacher Ye!
He was so powerful that he could turn the sun's light into electricity and use it for lighting.
And I also saw that the solar panels they made can charge batteries.
I was thinking, if we had this kind of board and placed it in the desert, we wouldn’t have to worry about running out of electricity.
He is also a very kind old man. I have visited his home. By the way, I have to say that I have fallen in love with the food here.
I can also make braised spareribs. When I get back, I will definitely make it for you to try...
Also, in the Ninth Ministry’s Research Institute, I saw some people researching a telephone, and they said it was a type of phone that didn’t require wires, so I asked about it, and they said that once this type of phone was made, it could be used to make calls to you.
But the distance was so long that I thought they were joking.
Also, their research is very broad, ranging from medicines to machinery, it's very interesting anyway.
By the way, I also met a man who looked skinny, but the workers here were very respectful to him. Later I found out that this man was a very skilled fitter, or an eighth-level fitter in their words.
Speaking of this, I also discovered that the workers here are filled with an indescribable feeling.
Having written this, Alfat unconsciously stopped writing, looking slightly absent-minded.
Pictures emerged in my mind.
There are scenes of workers working in factory workshops, scenes of steel workers wiping their sweat, scenes of people with coal dust on their faces smiling with white teeth, and scenes of people hitting volleyballs hard on the training ground.
As scenes appeared before his eyes, Alfat suddenly smiled, a smile that was the same as those of the people on the street.
Thinking of this, Alfat calmed down again and continued writing.
Later when I talked about this with Bogdani, he told me that he felt the same way when he first came here.
But as time goes by, I know and see more, and I understand where this feeling comes from.
That is, the sense of ownership that bursts out from every individual. They truly love this country, and they contribute their own strength to this country just like building their own home.
They do not ask for anything in return, they are not afraid of hard work, and they are not afraid of failure.
Father, I think again, what on earth made them burst out with this kind of consciousness?
I have explored it and asked my classmates, but their answers did not satisfy me.
If I can find the key, I will tell you and also make the Chinese people aware of it.
I think if all Chinese people have this awareness, our country will become great and our people will become more prosperous.
Alfat silently stopped writing and looked at the three years and four pages of letter paper on the table. He felt that he still had a lot to say, but he was afraid to say too much and make his father worry.
After thinking it over and over again, I finally prepared to end it.
Father, your son is doing well here, don't worry.
Also, please take care of yourself.
Another ten minutes passed like this before Alfat put the pen aside.
Finally, I read it again from beginning to end, and after finding no problems, I signed on the last page.
Your son: Arafat
1968 12 Month 25 Day.
Fold the letter paper, then find an envelope, write the address as required, and then put the letter in.
Seal the envelope with glue, then find the stamp and stick it on carefully.
Finally, I got up, put on my clothes, walked out of the room, and put the letter in the school mailbox.
"Alphate, come quickly, we need you!"
In the distance, Bogdani was running towards this side, shouting loudly, and behind him was a group of people chasing him with snowballs in their arms.
"No, don't come over here~"
Alfate immediately turned and ran.
Internal Affairs Office.
Mr. Zeng stood aside, and two people at the table took paper and pen to translate the contents of the letter.
After the translation was completed, someone compared the two translated contents. This took more than half an hour before it was handed over to Mr. Zeng.
After reading it carefully twice, Mr. Zeng thought about it and picked up the phone to make a call.
"Commander, the other party wrote a letter home."
"Yes, it is basically certain that there is no confidentiality involved."
"Okay, got it."
As the call ended, Mr. Zeng said to the person beside him, "Director Yu."
"To!"
Yu Zecheng walked out from the wall.
"This letter has been sent."
"Double the number of staff at the Ninth Department."
Yu Zecheng took the letter and said seriously, "I understand."
"Also, this child is a filial child, keep an eye on him."
"understand!"
