Traveling through 70's wine

Chapter 209 Class Reunion

The feed factory was closed on the eve of the Spring Festival. Wen Qing asked Zheng Xiaoqiang if he would go home. Zheng Xiaoqiang nodded and said, "Master, I want to go back and visit my sister."

Zheng Xiaoqiang hadn't been home for a year. His sister had married and moved to the county town. He didn't know if she was doing well, so he planned to go back to celebrate the Spring Festival.

Wen Qing smiled and said, "It's good to go back and take a look. If you help me with something, I'll reimburse you for the round-trip tickets."

One was to let him send wine and reward to Nankun Zhao Wei, and the other was to send 5 yuan to Lin Changsheng. This was Wen Qing's subsidy for the poor families and schools in the village. Zheng Xiaoqiang said there was no problem.

He called Zhao Wei to arrange the quantity he needed and asked him to go and process the bank acceptance bill in advance. He also explained the details of the handover to Zheng Xiaoqiang. Liu Quan asked the sales department to ship the wine by train, and Zheng Xiaoqiang only needed to take his luggage and set off.

Wen Qing arranged the staff on duty at the two factories during the Spring Festival and returned to Huashuijing Lane. Although she was spending the holiday alone, the sense of ceremony was important.

Wen Qing wrote couplets and the word "Fu" herself, mixed the paste, and pasted them on the doors of the yard and the room. The bright red couplets and the word "Fu" added to the festive atmosphere. She cleaned the yard and the room, made dumplings, and for the New Year's Eve dinner, she cooked braised carp, sweet and sour spare ribs, pig's trotters stewed with lotus root, and some vegetables and tofu. Although it wasn't much, it was enough for her to eat alone.

She turned on the TV while eating, and the lively sounds coming from the TV made the yard seem less deserted.

Wen Qing listened to the sound of firecrackers coming from outside the courtyard wall, closed the doors and windows of the yard, and entered the space herself.

There are always blue sky and white clouds in the space. Wen Qing went to inspect her territory. There were endless fields. The tall corn had grown taller than people. The sorghum had also pulled out heavy ears. The rice was bent by the ears of rice. Wen Qing got on his motorcycle and rode along the lake. The breeze blew the water surface. He smelled the fragrance of lotus flowers coming from the water surface. His mood soared with the speed.

After riding around, Wen Qing returned to the small bamboo building and entered the study. Wen Qing poured a glass of red wine and lay on the bamboo chair. She could not feel the biting cold wind outside the space, nor the noise of firecrackers, but only the sound of wind and the rustling of bamboo leaves. She finished the bottle of wine unknowingly. With her kung fu, this amount of wine would not make her drunk, but she fell asleep on the bamboo chair due to being slightly tipsy.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Wen Qing went to Professor Wang Huazhen and Director Xu's homes to pay New Year's greetings and presented them with New Year's goods and gifts. The two professors invited her to dinner, but Wen Qing said she had to go pay New Year's greetings to other people, so the two professors did not want her to stay.

After leaving the school, Wen Qing called Xu Shengli to go and wish Secretary Ma a happy new year.

During the Spring Festival, Wen Qing gathered several classmates who stayed in Beijing for a reunion. Chen Rui, Zhu Hongying, Xian Yumei, Wang Zitao, Zhang Yushan and Li Xiangyang all came. They all had families and careers, and knew that Wen Qing was divorced, so they all did not bring their families or children. It was just a class reunion.

Five years after graduation, everyone has changed a lot. Chen Rui has a daughter, Zhu Hongying gave birth to her second child, a boy, Xian Yumei worked in the Ministry of Transport after graduation and is now a section chief, Zhang Yushan works in the Beijing Automobile Factory and is now an engineer, Wang Zitao and Zhang Yushan took the postgraduate entrance examination after graduation, and not long after graduation, Wang Zitao went to teach at the Beijing Iron and Steel Institute, and Li Xiangyang went to a chemical factory after graduation.

Chen Rui said, "Xiao Qing, I heard that your wine won a silver medal, is that right?"

Wen Qing took out a box of Changxia Special Brew, "I brought it today, everyone, drink as much as you want."

As everyone drank and chatted, the atmosphere gradually became lively. The female students cared about each other's families and children, while the male students were more concerned about the future development of society.

As Li Xiangyang was drinking, he said, "Wen Qing, I used to think you were interested in mechanical design, but I never thought you would open a winery and win a silver medal for your wine. I never expected that."

Wen Qing smiled and said, "It's hard to predict what's going on in this world. Many times, it's fate that pushes people forward."

Zhu Hongying said: "Yes, you were assigned to the Industrial Bureau after graduating from university. I thought you would pursue a career in government, but it's also good to run a factory now."

Zhu Hongying worked as a teacher in a middle school which later became very famous, and the job of teaching and educating was quite suitable for her.

Wen Qing asked: "Hongying, where does your Lao Yang work?"

Zhu Hongying: "Working in the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications." Their family reunited in Pingjing.

She went on to say: "Studying is one of the few ways to change one's destiny. Our students and parents attach great importance to learning and are very cooperative with our work. However, the school is also a small society and there are some unsatisfactory aspects."

"With so many people trying to cross a single-plank bridge, schools only look at the admission rate."

Xian Yumei smiled and said, "Hongying, you must hold on. Whether my son can enter your school in the future depends entirely on you."

Everyone laughed together.

Zhu Hongying smiled and said, "Okay, when your child needs to study in the future, come to me."

Li Xiangyang had been silent for a while, and then he asked, "Wen Qing, what do you think of our unit?"

He worked in a daily chemical factory in Beijing. His salary was not high, the products were outdated, and the factory leaders had no innovative spirit. He had no chance to do anything. Li Xiangyang felt that it was meaningless and did not want to waste his time at such a young age.

Wen Qing was silent for a moment, then said, "The market for daily chemical products is huge, but compared to products in the international market, Beijing's daily chemical products are indeed old. Now I heard that several foreign-funded daily chemical companies have entered China. I think you can pay attention to them. You have the education and ability, so where can't you work?"

Zhang Yushan also asked: "Wen Qing, do you think our car factory has any development prospects?"

Wen Qing: "I'm not a fortune teller, how would I know?"

Zhang Yushan introduced that their automobile factory mainly imitates foreign models. The most famous one is the 212 car. This car has been produced 20 years ago and has only undergone some minor changes.

Wen Qing smiled and said, "Although there are not many car factories now and they only produce a few types of models, the car market is very large and the demand is also great. Think about it, if private car purchases were allowed and you had money, would you buy a car? If there were new models, would you buy the new models?"

Several boys nodded. Who wouldn’t want to drive across the vast sky like in American movies?

They all took driving tests while participating in a school project, and they all said to Zhang Yushan: "Yushan, can you get us a car so we can have some fun?"

Chen Rui looked at Wen Qing and said, "Xiao Qing, I remember you have a car, right?"

Wen Qing nodded, "I have a jeep, do you want to drive it?"

Xian Yumei: "Can you all drive?"
