Into Unscientific

Chapter 722 Chinese New Year (Part 2)

Looking at the two women not far away who were talking in a low voice.

Xu Yun looked up at the sunny sky and took a deep breath again.

Originally in history.

Whether it's Xu Luxi or Wu Yueqin.

Although their love with their husbands can be called heroic, what sets off this heroic love is actually the loneliness and sadness of being separated for more than ten years.

At least this incident is a great regret for the lives of both parties in this world.

Therefore, in the list given to the writer not long ago, Xu Yun mentioned the family members of several experts, including Xu Luxi, and hoped that they would be allowed to come to the base to reunite with their husbands.

In the end, after discussions with the capital, Xu Yun's idea was agreed to.

after all

The identities of Xu Luxi and others are different from those of returning scholars like Yang Zhenning and Li Zhengdao. Their political review has actually been completed long ago.

At least when it comes to arranging for these people to come to the base, you don't have to waste too much time explaining to those comrades who don't know Xu Yun's existence.

Therefore, the organization made every effort to allow these couples who had been apart for many years to reunite during the Chinese New Year.

To know.

Although the separation between Xu Luxi, Lu Guangda and others was not as long as more than ten years at this time, it had been more than three years since the establishment of the 221 base. This kind of separation time is not short for any family or couple.

Let alone three years, how many couples in future generations can last three months in a different place?

True.

Xu Yun's approach may save future generations from a few articles promoting the dedication of Xu Luxi and others, but Xu Yun believes that if Xu Luxi and others knew the true historical trajectory, they would definitely agree with Xu Yun's approach.

So he did this with full confidence, which was completely different from his previous hesitation when changing other people's trajectories.

"Xiao Xu, Professor Yang."

Just as Xu Yun was deep in thought, Li Jue, who had gone to the scene to direct before, returned to him and said to him and Yang Kaiqu:

"The weather is nice today and everyone is in good spirits. Would you like to take this opportunity to go over and make some dumplings?"

Xu Yun was slightly startled:

"Make dumplings?"

Then he subconsciously glanced at Yang Kaiqu next to him, and found that there was obviously some movement on the other person's face, and he quickly made a judgment in his mind.

However, he did not directly make a decision for Yang Kaiqu, but pretended to know nothing and asked Yang Kaiqu:

"Professor Yang, what do you think?"

After hearing this, Yang Kaiqu put his palm in front of his face and turned it over, then tried to make a fist. After feeling that he could move quite freely, he said:

"Xiao Xu, how about the two of us in wheelchairs join in the fun?"

Xu Yun has no objection:

"OK."

So Li Jue took Qiao Caihong, Zhou Kaida, and Yuan Guoliang to push wheelchairs to Xu Luxi and Wu Yueqin:

"Sister Wu, Teacher Xu, are you busy?"

Seeing this, Xu Luxi quickly raised his head and stopped what he was doing when he saw Li Jue:

"Director, why are you here? Are there any new tasks in the factory?"

"No, no, no. At present, the progress of each of our groups is as expected. There are no surprises."

Li Jue quickly waved his hand, pointed at Xu Yun and Yang Kaiqu and said:

"Isn't today the New Year's Eve? This is also the most practical year since the base was established."

"In addition, Professor Yang and Xiao Xu are in good physical condition, so I just want them to make a few dumplings with their own hands to celebrate while everyone is here."

When saying this, Li Jue also patted Xu Yun on the shoulder.

As one of the only five leaders in the base who knew Xu Yun's origins, Li Jue knew one thing very well:

This should be Xu Yun's last and only year at the base.

In addition, some personnel such as Yuan Guoliang will also leave the base after the year, so today is probably the only "complete" New Year's Eve dinner for the 221 Base.

This meal did not allow Xu Yun and Yang Kaiqu to make a few dumplings with their own hands. Li Jue always felt as if something was missing.

And opposite him.

Hearing Li Jue's words, Xu Luxi quickly patted her flour-stained hands on her apron twice and stepped aside:

"Want to make dumplings? No problem, come on, come on, the factory director will tell you the truth, we are short of manpower here."

Say it.

She also nodded towards Yang Kaiqu and Xu Yun, with a little gratitude in her eyes when she looked at Xu Yun.

Although Xu Luxi didn't know Xu Yun's true identity, she was informed by Lu Guangda the night she came to the base - she was allowed to contact Project 221 precisely because a consultant named Xu Yun at the base proposed to the organization suggestion.

If not, she didn't know how long she would have to be separated from Lu Guangda.

And as a highly educated woman, Xu Luxi’s vision is indeed farther than that of housewives like Wu Yueqin:

She also worked with project teams when she was studying and knew how much psychological pressure a major project would put on the leader of the research team.

This kind of pressure can easily lead to accidents if there is no spiritual support from someone beside you.

It can range from becoming irritable at the least to mental disorder at the worst.

Therefore, for Yang Kaiqu, she only maintained respect for her comrades, but she felt a sense of intimacy and gratitude towards Xu Yun.

I heard that this little comrade is still single, but I didn't expect that he would be so considerate.

After Xu Luxi and Wu Yueqin gave way to their positions.

Li Jue held a chair with one hand to clear up the space. Qiao Caihong and Zhou Kaida each pushed their wheelchairs and pushed Xu Yun and Yang Kaiqu into the gap of the table.

When Yang Kaiqu came to the table, he first looked at the enamel basin filled with fillings in front of him and raised his brows:

"Hey, beef stuffed with green onions? And carrots?"

After saying that, he reached out and fanned the food basin again, lowered his head and took a greedy breath:

“It smells so good!”

As an agriculturist, he can tell the quality of vegetables in a filling almost by smelling it.

Li Jue smiled and nodded when he heard this, and explained:

"Well, this is the material supported by the comrades from the so-and-so factory and the so-and-so factory in the northeast. It was originally intended to be distributed to everyone that year."

"As a result, the base was going to make beef dumplings this time, so we used these two things to match them. Although the taste is not as good as the mushroom and beef fillings, the effect of removing the fishy smell is quite good."

Li Jue reported the names of two large factories in the Northeast, both of which had a population of close to 100,000, including employees' families.

These two large factories are also one of the beneficiaries of this winter wheat and Mao Xiong. Not long ago, after learning that the 221 base needed a large amount of vegetables, they generously supported a large number of agricultural and sideline products.

Although the carrots in the Northeast are not as well-known as those in Zhuzhou, the output and quality of carrots in Jiangcheng have always been high, and they are very tasty when eaten raw.

So this time, we used carrots, green onions and a small amount of ginger as base, mixed with beef to create such a set of fillings.

Later, with the assistance of Zhou Kaida and others.

Yang Kaiqu tremblingly placed a piece of dumpling wrapper in the palm of his hand, and picked up the filling with a small wooden spoon with a flat front end in his other hand.

Then Yang Kaiqu put the meat filling on the dumpling wrapper, and just as he was about to close his mouth, Xu Luxi suddenly said:

"Professor Yang, wait a moment!"

I saw her opening a heavy small bag from the table and taking out a small one-cent coin:

"Professor Yang, please put this in the dumplings as well."

Yang Kaiqu blinked:

"This is."

Xu Luxi smiled, pointed at Li Jue and said:

"This is a bonus added by the base. One in every five hundred dumplings will be stuffed with coins. These coins have been sterilized and marked."

"Those who eat dumplings not only represent good luck, but can also take the coins to the audit office to exchange for two taels of beef or a cloth ticket. It can be regarded as a bonus for the New Year's Eve dinner."

Only then did Yang Kaiqu understand:

“So that’s how it is”

Mentioned earlier.

According to the organization's estimates, the average person can eat about forty dumplings for the New Year's Eve dinner - some manual workers may eat more, while clerical workers and female children may eat less. In short, the average is about forty.

Counting the amount that some people may secretly hide and take home, the number of dumplings consumed by a table of ten people is only around 500.

In other words.

Probably in every table, there will be one lucky person who can win the prize.

This time, the base opened a total of more than 1,700 tables, and the theoretical "prize pool" is probably more than 300 kilograms.

The practice of putting copper coins in dumplings has been around since ancient times, but it’s hard to have the courage to set up such a high prize pool.

There is no doubt that this handwriting must have come from someone who is quite mature.

Then Yang Kaiqu put the coin into the dumpling filling, pinched both ends of the dumpling wrapper, brought them together and pressed them skillfully, and a dumpling was ready.

Then Xu Yun, Li Jue, Yuan Guoliang, Zhou Kaida, Qiao Caihong and Xu Yun's guard Mou Fangdong all started to make a few dumplings each, some of which were filled with coins, and some were filled with pure meat.

At the same time, the dumplings made by Xu Yun were a little bigger than those of others. This was a difference caused by different times. Xu Yun had nothing to do about it. It was easy to correct the practices of the people on the scene, but there were more than just dumplings made today. A few people?

There is an old saying in China that a disease of the heart requires a doctor. The best way to treat this "disease of poverty" is to make the country rich and powerful. There is no other way.

in the coming time.

Everyone was talking and laughing while making dumplings, and the atmosphere of the New Year became more and more intense.

Half a day passed by.

Seven hours later.

As it was getting late, more than 20,000 dumplings were neatly placed in a corner of the venue.

The sky is already dark, and the coldness of the northwest in winter is reflected.

So Li Jue waved his hand decisively and said to his assistant Zhou Cai:

"Xiao Zhou, please inform the comrades in the sideline team to pull up the sheds."

"Also, contact the platform. Commuter trains can be dispatched to pick up employees and their families in the living area. Order must be maintained and no chaos can occur!"

Zhou Cai's expression suddenly became serious:

"clear!"

Although the 20,000 employees in the entire base have undergone strict political review, and there is no doubt about their loyalty and consciousness, there are still certain risks or hidden dangers in mobilizing this number in the 1960s when communication methods were relatively less mature.

For example, if someone rushes too fast and causes themselves or the people around them to fall, and the flow of people behind them continues to move forward without knowing it, a stampede accident is likely to occur.

Another example is that some family members, especially half-grown children who are underage but cannot be held, are also likely to get lost due to crowding.

Therefore, the entry order of all employees must be strictly controlled, which is actually a big test for the organizer's ability.

It can even be said that.

This New Year's Eve dinner is the largest personnel transfer in the history of the 221 base - when the base was completed, there were no thousands of new people from the [Sanqing] project to join.

Fortunately, although Li Jue is slightly lacking in scientific research knowledge, as a veteran who has come down from the battlefield, scheduling is his specialty.

With the cooperation of all parties.

The base's commuter train whined, happily carrying rows of base employees to various preset venues.

At this moment, the entire 211 base was filled with laughter and laughter:

"Hey, brother Erxi, let's go together?"

"Lao Liu, happy New Year's Eve!"

"Xiwang, the whole family is here? You should eat more then. You are so skinny. If you don't eat some greasy food, you will get into trouble sooner or later!"

"Shunzi, how many tables do you have?"

"Factory 12, 114 tables."

"What a coincidence, I'm 514, I'll have a drink with you then!"

"Okay, I just don't know if there's any wine."

"Hey, it's okay if you don't have wine. Let's clink glasses of dumpling soup. The original soup becomes the original food."

after an hour.

Venue No. 1 where the main factory of the base is located.

"Director."

Holding a small book in his hand, Zhou Cai hurried to Li Jue and reported:

"Reporting to the factory director, we have just received news from each branch venue. Including our site, the employees of the twelve New Year's Eve dinner venues have already taken their seats."

"Except for a comrade from the computer lab who had his wig ripped off when he got off the bus, the rest of the process went smoothly and no one was lost or injured."

"There are 18,234 employees in the entire base. Except for those with special work arrangements, 17,283 should be present, but 17,275 are actually present. The eight absent comrades are all sick, and we have arranged for personnel to deliver meals to them."

Li Jue nodded with satisfaction.

This time, the base, including the main factory, has arranged a total of twelve branch venues, including six in the living area and six in the production area.

These branch venues carry different numbers of people depending on the size of the venue. For example, Venue No. 1 is a small venue with only 80 tables and more than 800 people in total.

As for the general supplies platform, the 12th branch factory has planned more than 550 tables, and the number of people in this branch alone exceeds 5,000.

Basically, all the employees from the first few factories of the base were placed there. It was said that the commotion started there a few hours ago.

Then Li Jue thought about it and asked Zhou Cai:

"Xiao Zhou, how are the preparations for the New Year's Eve dinners at various venues now?"

Zhou Cai looked at the data compiled in his hand again:

"Except for the 12th Branch Factory, most of the venues have already saved enough dumplings for the first round and put them in foam boxes to keep them warm."

Li Jue waved his hand very grandly when he saw this:

"Then notify each venue that the food is ready to be served. Don't make comrades wait too long!"

"Also, if you have any speech notes, please put them away first. It's important to eat during the Chinese New Year, so it's best not to beep. If you really want to say a few words, hold them in for two or three rounds before speaking."

Zhou Cai quickly straightened up:

"clear!"

After receiving Li Jue's instructions, Zhou Cai quickly left the scene.

Less than ten minutes later.

A burst of cheers suddenly erupted in the entire base's twelve branch venues:

Waiters wearing chef uniforms were seen carrying plates of steaming dumplings and began to walk among the tables in the major branch venues.

"Eat dumplings!"

Note:

I asked for monthly votes at the beginning of the month. I was nominated for a small award again. I urgently need monthly votes to be exposed. I will adjust my body clock today and start updating tomorrow.
