"My humble opinion, this welder seems to be less than fifty years old, right?" "Yeah." Zhang Tinglan nodded and said, "He is only 45 years old, in the prime of life, but he is exhausted to death." Zhou Xinyao's eye circles turned slightly red, and she pressed Holding Zhang Tinglan's clenched fist, he said: "Immodestly, do you think a family can't live a good life? Do we have to work so hard?" Zhang Tinglan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's difficult, we want to develop slowly. But others won't wait for you. If we are slow and are thrown away, I'm afraid the Eight-Nation Allied Forces will occupy the capital again. I'm afraid there will be more casualties then, and the ones who die will be more humble and cowardly, just like ants. , Even worse than an ant." Zhou Xinyao also nodded, but two tears fell on the document. She hurriedly wiped them away, and then said: "I shouldn't care about these big things, you can do your work, I will. It's time to go see the child. " Zhou Xinyao turned around and was about to leave. Zhang Tinglan grabbed her sleeve and pulled her back. The two have been married for many years. Zhou Xinyao is also the mother of three children, but her figure is not out of shape at all. Still plump and attractive. Moreover, the daughter of a noble family is now the dignified first lady. She is more graceful and elegant than before. "Xinyao, I want to discuss it with you. What do you think about holding a state funeral for Zheng Yuchen?" Zhou Xinyao nodded without hesitation: "I think it's okay. This state funeral shouldn't be exclusive to politicians. It's really for Zheng Yuchen." Those who have contributed to the country are worthy of respect. Holding a state funeral for Zheng Yuchen is also a comfort to all workers. Of course I support it. " "How about you attend with me?" "Ah?" Zhou Xinyao heard. He waved his hands hastily: "I'm a woman, so it's not good for me to show up on such occasions." "What's wrong? Xinyao, weren't you quite bold when you were young? Why are you becoming more timid and conservative as you live more?" When Zhou Xinyao heard this, her face turned slightly red: "Women are not like this. They have become mothers of several children. There are old people at the top who are filial, and there are a bunch of young ones at the bottom. And you are in the middle" She felt her wife's anger. Looking at Zhang Tinglan's eyes, he smiled, took Zhou Xinyao's hand, and said with a smile: "Xinyao, you are now a serious first lady. It is not appropriate to keep your head spinning at home. Stay with me more in the future, "How about attending some events?" "She's a yellow-faced woman. I won't embarrass myself." "Nonsense. Whoever has seen such a beautiful yellow-faced woman should just take pity on me." Let others be jealous of your vanity." "Zhu Yan, are you really ready to let me go?" "Of course, I support it with both hands." Zhou Xinyao also showed a confident smile and said, "Zhu Yan. I also went abroad to study, and I don¡¯t know why, but I just fell in love with a bumpkin like you. " Talking about the past, Zhou Xinyao also had a hint of sweetness on her face, and couldn't help but smile: "Since you are willing to let me go out, you have to promise one thing. I am going to set up a charity foundation, so just take it. Our family¡¯s money should be used to do some good things.¡± Zhang Tinglan nodded without hesitation: ¡°No problem, I will fully support it. I wonder what my wife wants to do?¡± ¡°Education, medical treatment, orphans, abandoned children, etc.¡± Drinking water, food, whatever you can do, you can do it. Sister Xianrui and I have already discussed it. From now on, sister Lanyun will be responsible for managing finances and making money, and we will be responsible for spending money. The more the better, it is best to spend it on you. Pauper. " "Well, it depends on the wife's ability. I have no objection at all. If all the money is spent, I will go to my father-in-law's house and be a step-in son-in-law. Anyway, I won't starve to death. Smiling. It¡¯s hard to say how much assets he has now. In short, it¡¯s unlikely that he will spend them all. In fact, Zhang Tinglan encouraged Zhou Xinyao to go out, which also meant setting an example. As Chinese society develops more and more, the society needs more and more workers, especially female workers, and the gap is getting bigger and bigger. Women in cities are okay, but rural areas are still too conservative, so the first lady also has an obligation to set an example. In addition, politics is not only a toy for men, women can also participate in it, and women can also play an unexpected role as a lubricant. In many situations where it is inconvenient for Zhang Tinglan to come forward, the effect will be better if his wife comes forward. Zhou Xinyao leaned on Zhang Tinglan's shoulder, with the same look on her face as when they had just met. She couldn't help but said: "I'm sorry, I'm actually afraid. God has been so kind to us. When I think about the fact that there are still people dying of exhaustion or starvation, . It¡¯s like I¡¯ve committed a crime. I¡¯m really afraid that God will take away everything in front of me.¡± ¡°Silly girl.Head, don't be afraid! Zhang Tinglan hugged her shoulders and said with a smile: "Husband, I have been going against the will of heaven for many years. Don't worry, God can't do anything to us!" " State funeral! Everyone is familiar with it. For example, Lao Yuan and Li Yuanhong who just died have all enjoyed this treatment. But to hold a state funeral for an ordinary technician, all military and political dignitaries, including the president and his wife, must attend , This is probably an unprecedented thing. Public opinions suddenly abounded, and everyone wanted to know how qualified Zheng Yuchen could be to enjoy such treatment. As more and more news was unearthed, Chinese society was gradually affected. Such an inexplicable shock. This is not a funeral for a person, but a tribute to a generation! What a glorious and great way to die. If there were not these exhausted people, there would be hundreds more on the battlefield. Thousands of people died in battle, and the country would have hundreds of thousands more innocent dead. This is not a fantasy. Looking back from the late Qing Dynasty until the country was unified, there was no year where people died of starvation and there were no places affected by disasters. . How many parents still go to work in the fields until their children are seriously ill, and when they return home, their children have died in the pit. Industrialization is a transformation from phoenix to nirvana, and China at this time is a melting pot. Everyone is a piece of ore, and it is painful to get rid of laziness, bad habits, and small luck, because it is accompanied by the sifting out of the dregs. Some of the beauty and pastoral comfort of the old days will never return. Everyone must learn to fight, learn to compete, and even learn to be numb, maybe in a few years from now. People who have passed through the times will complain, reminisce about the beauty of the past, pursue the lost touch, and find the warm soul. But no one really wants to revisit that era when the people were in dire straits. Perhaps this is the sadness of the Chinese people in this era. It is also the greatest happiness. They witnessed a great era, witnessed the re-emergence of a great country, and used their hands to rebuild the bricks and stones of the Han and Tang Dynasties. In fact, China was undergoing such a transformation in later generations. The people, working hard in an almost masochistic way, are constantly pursuing the dream of a powerful country. At this time, there are countless onlookers around them, who are mocking this group of entrepreneurs who claim to have preserved the traditional culture. , embraced Western civilization, but they looked down on these persistent people who had no socks to wear, but they let go of two bombs and one star. , they will find that it is 1.4 billion humble backbones that hold up the Chinese sky, not those arrogant and arrogant people. In this painful purgatory, if Westerners hate you, despise you, and constantly slander you in newspapers. You, then congratulations, you are already fighting for the progress of the country. The reason is very simple, because if 1.4 billion people want to have enough food and clothing, and live with dignity, we must snatch resources and job opportunities from them, even if they are In the end, he will become the gravedigger of the Western era. This is the enemy of life and death, and there will be no change. On the contrary, if you are praised, then it is telling you that in this sublimation of the whole nation, you are not only acting as a spectator, but even becoming an accomplice. Thousands of years later, some people will always be nailed to the pillar of shame of history. Perhaps the Chinese at that time will no longer care about this. After all, the Chinese dynasty must have a broad mind. Since the First Five-Year Plan, this painful sublimation has begun. From Zheng Yuchen, every worker seems to see his own shadow, hard work, diligence, and silence. Sometimes it seems that we have reached our limit, but we still have to grit our teeth and hold on. Resentment! Who are you resenting, the government? enterprise? In fact, none of them are right. The people who should be resented the most are our ancestors from hundreds of years ago. They did not take the risk of sacrificing half of the people to open up a new sea route. They did not sell black slaves and massacre Indians without conscience. They did not maximize their resources. Rich, the most fertile parts of the land remain. The descendants of future generations will have to pay for the laziness of their predecessors. This is fate, a fate that cannot be avoided. Because if you don¡¯t repay your debt now, your descendants will never have a chance to stand tall, and they will even sink forever. Gradually, the Chinese people began to understand more and more clearly that in fact, this state funeral was held for every Chinese. This generation is destined to sacrifice. It is tragic, but also great! In the pattering spring rain, Zhang Tinglan, Yang Yuting, Shen Honglie, Jiang Dengxuan, Tao Jiping, Wu Yulin, etc., military and political dignitaries, all carried the coffin together and slowly placed the body of an ordinary worker in the tomb. The whole funeral road?The whole place was full of people, and everyone had white flowers on their chests. They watched with helpless eyes that such a once small person was now being noticed by everyone and became the focus of hundreds of millions of people. Among all the mourners, there were more than thirty disciples brought out by Zheng Yuchen, holding dozens of notebooks in their hands. During these years of labor, Zheng Yuchen wrote down every bit of his experience, and then handed it to each apprentice hand by hand. In his eyes, as long as these people cannot meet his own standards, they are unqualified. Being beaten and scolded is commonplace, and young men may even cry when scolded, but until today, these people have not complained at all. The notes left by the master and the used pens were all sent to the Naval Museum. The models of the aircraft carrier were placed together and became an eternal memorial. After burying Zheng Yuchen¡¯s coffin, Zhang Tinglan and Zhou Xinyao, who was wearing a black trench coat, planted two pine trees in front of his tombstone. The green pines and cypresses, the pure heart! At this moment, the entire country and the entire nation seemed to be sublimated. People should always live for their ideals and the future of this country. This state funeral seems to have kicked off the Second Five-Year Plan. All Chinese people are full of energy and have invested in a new round of construction boom. Countless people from north to south, inside and outside the Yellow River, are fighting for the same belief. , the power that explodes is equally astonishing. On the second day of the state funeral, a delegation from Dalian Shipyard, led by leader Chen Jing and chief engineer Yao Yimin, traveled across the ocean to Chile in South America with their plan in mind. "Chief Engineer Yao, do you think our plan can win?" Yao Yimin nodded firmly: "This is the most generous offer we can offer. Chileans will not refuse as long as they have some brains." Chen Jing Ye smiled and said: "The president personally told us when we came here that we have a heavy responsibility." "That's right, just like soldiers fighting, we also open up economic territory for the country. This time we are only allowed to win and not lose. !¡± The delegation traveled across the ocean and finally arrived in South America after a long voyage. When they came from the northern hemisphere, it was already early summer, but when they arrived in the southern hemisphere, the season was just the opposite, and everyone felt a bit chilly. The person who came to the port to greet them was Bachelet, who had been to China. When he saw Chen Jing and others, he was very enthusiastic and said with a smile: "The aircraft purchased from your country have begun to be equipped in the Chilean Air Force. Everyone is They are quite surprised. They don¡¯t believe that China can actually build such a great aircraft. It¡¯s simply amazing!¡± Chen Jing said with a smile: ¡°We can not only produce aircraft, but we can also produce ships. You must have heard that China¡¯s latest The launch of the Jiangsu and Heilongjiang aircraft carriers clearly shows that China's ability to build large warships is beyond doubt. "Bachelet showed a wry smile on her face: "Yes, I am. I admit that your aircraft carrier is very good, but what Chile needs this time is a battleship. To be honest, Mr. President invited you here because he hopes to enhance the friendship between the two sides. Even if we cannot win the order, we will increase our efforts to purchase aircraft." Chen Jing and Yao Yimin took a look at the words, and their hearts suddenly became clear. As expected, they were invited here just to accompany the prince to study and to help suppress the prices of Western shipyards. The only purchase of aircraft is just a piece of candy. Of course they won't notice it. Chen Jing smiled and said: "Although China has never built a battleship, we are still confident. I believe your country will be favored by us." I'm impressed by the sincerity." Bachelet shrugged and said with a smile: "I will try my best to help you contact me, but to be honest, the West is not big."
