Chapter 387 1979, Beginning

After breakfast, Li Jiayi went to his uncle's house.

"Jiayi, are you looking for your uncle?" the aunt asked when she saw him coming.

"Yes, ma'am."

"Your uncle has gone to the secretary's house. You can go there to look for him."

"Uncle is so busy! He just finished his meal and he went out."

"Come on, what is he busy for? He was just bored at home, so he went to chat with someone."

"Uh! Okay." Li Jiayi scratched his head.

"When will you and Ling'er go back to the city?" asked the old lady.

"I'll be back in the afternoon, so I'll talk to my uncle about something."

"Okay, I get it. Go find your uncle! I'll go to your mother-in-law's house after I pack up."

"Yes, ma'am."

After leaving his uncle's house, Li Jiayi went to the village party secretary's house.

When he came over, the village party secretary and his uncle were drinking tea in the house.

"Hey, Jiayi, what's wrong with you?"

"I have something to tell you two uncles."

"Oh! What is it?"

After Li Jiayi sat down, he said, "I want to know how the college entrance examination is arranged?"

"What else can we do? Just go and take the exam directly," said the village party secretary.

"Uh!"

"What's wrong? Isn't this arrangement possible?"

"Uncles, I want to ask, do you know where the college entrance examination is?"

"I know! Isn't it just in the county town?"

"Yes, it is in the county town, but how long does it take to get from Lijia Village to the county town? Have you two ever calculated it?"

"Ah! This..."

"Uncle, you guys aren't planning to go there on the day of the college entrance exam, are you?"

Hearing Li Jiayi's question, the two uncles looked at each other.

This made Li Jiayi slap his forehead speechlessly. Fortunately, he asked in advance, otherwise the opportunity would have been lost by then.

"Uncles! Let's not talk about how long it takes to get from Liu Village to the county town. Even from Lijia Village to Liu Village, it will take at least two hours! Are you planning to get up in the middle of the night?"

"Even if you get up in the middle of the night, there's no bus to the county town when you get to Liu Village! Even if there is a bus, it can't accommodate so many people!"

There are forty or fifty people from Lijia Village taking the college entrance examination this time!

The buses we have nowadays simply cannot accommodate so many people.

Besides, in the entire Liucun Commune, it’s not just the children from Lijia Village who are taking the college entrance examination.

There are people from other villages as well. Although the number may not be large, it is still a large number when all the villages under the Liucun Commune are added together.

"Add one, what do you say we should do?"

"Of course we have to go there a day in advance! Find a hotel near the examination center and arrange for everyone to stay there."

"What, still staying in a hotel?"

"Yes! Uncles, we in Lijia Village can afford this little money, right? This is a life-long event for the children."

"Third brother, I think it's okay. It's just staying in a hotel! When the time comes, you can write a letter of introduction, and then I will take the children to the county town."

"Uncles, there is one more thing. This exam is not one day, but two days. We can't run back and forth!"

In the first year of the resumption of the college entrance examination, only three subjects were tested: Chinese, mathematics and comprehensive, with a total score of 500.

Because classes have been suspended, there is no foreign language course to take.

After the school was fully restored, foreign language was included in the college entrance examination course, and the Russian language was changed to English.

"Add one! If you say so, even if we do it one day in advance, there's no way we can get all the children to the county town!"

"Sure, I'll be back by then, and I'll ask my eldest or second brother to take a leave and drive the truck back. Both trips will definitely be able to deliver to the county town."

"If that's the case, then there's no problem."

"Ok!"

After the discussion, Li Jiayi went back. After having lunch at his father-in-law's house at noon, Li Jiayi and Lin Ling'er returned to the city.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the college entrance examination. Li Jiayi and his second brother Li Chenghou returned to the village two days in advance.

The first thing I did when I returned to the village was to build a shed for the truck. Just kidding, it was winter!

If we don’t build a shed, the children will be caught in the cold when they go to the county town.
The next morning, two vehicles began to take some people to Changping County.

Li Jiayi's jeep can carry several people. The one who went with him was his uncle. They were the first group.

Fortunately, all the children in Lijia Village were in the same examination hall, so when they arrived, they stayed in the hotel nearby.

There are so many people that it is impossible for one or two people to stay in one room, and the hotel does not have so many rooms.

That doesn’t matter. We can just set up a few large bunk beds in this room, and more than a dozen people can stay in it.

Besides, it’s warmer when there are more people.

The uncle stayed behind to take care of them, while Li Jiayi and his second brother went back to pick them up.

The second row had all finished pulling, and following them was the village party secretary. As for the parents, none of them were allowed to come.

After everyone arrived, they were arranged to stay and have a good night's rest.

The exam started the next day, and two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the college entrance examination was over.

At this time, Li Jiayi also breathed a sigh of relief, and then sent the person back to Lijia Village.

After returning to Lijia Village, Li Jiayi came to where Teacher Wang lived.

"Teacher Wong."

"Gain One is here?"

"Well! Are you done with this?"

"Everything that needs to be packed has been packed. You can leave directly tomorrow morning."

"That's good."

Teacher Wang has been in Lijia Village for eleven years. He feels a little reluctant to leave suddenly.

But he still has to leave because his family is waiting for him to return.

Although my family has come here over the years, it is not very often.

It can be said that he is eager to go home now!

"Jia Yi! You go ahead and do your thing. I'll go find someone to say goodbye to."

"Okay, Teacher Wang."

Well, I've lived here for eleven years, so how could there not be a few people I can talk to? I'm leaving tomorrow, so it's normal to say hello.

Next, Li Jiayi went to see Teacher Liu again and chatted with him for a while.

These are all the teachers who taught him!
The next morning, Li Jiayi and his second brother Li Chengqian took the teachers back to the city.

Now that the college entrance examination is over, it is impossible to keep Teacher Wang and his classmates, as for the remaining students.

After the New Year, when school starts, you can go directly to the commune.

As for children going to high school, they can also go to school in Changping County, but they just have to take an exam.

But for the children in Lijia Village, this is nothing and there will be absolutely no problem.

Li Jiayi couldn't stand this kind of scene of returning home and meeting his family, so after arriving in the city, he asked his second brother to see him off, and he went home directly.

Of course, the supplies that should be prepared for the teachers still need to be prepared and they can be delivered directly to them when we get back.

This also relieved Li Jiayi's worries.

Since the day he came back, Li Jiayi seldom went out. Every day he either went to the factory or stayed at home.

The reason for this is that it was snowing, and it was snowing quite heavily.

In a blink of an eye, time came to March of 1979, just in time for spring and blooming flowers. Since the reform and opening up began in December last year, Li Jiayi did not take any action.

It was not until March of this year that things were basically stable and he was ready to start.

But it wasn't the beginning, but the reason why I came to the factory.

"Knock knock knock!" Li Jiayi knocked on the door of the factory director's office.

"Come in."

"Director Liu."

"Why are you here?" Seeing that it was Li Jiayi, Director Liu hurriedly walked out from the back of the office.

"I don't want to ask you something."

You have to know that the two people are only half a level apart. Normally, Director Liu should not call him kid.

For example, Director Liu is very polite to other deputy directors.

But he called Li Jiayi this way, maybe he was used to it.

In fact, the main reason is that Li Jiayi is too young. Although he is almost 31 years old, he looks like a young man of 24 or 25 years old.

For a person like Li Jiayi, what should Director Liu call him other than kid? Should he call him Old Li?
"Sit down and talk."

"Ok!"

The two of them sat down on the sofa. Director Liu poured him a cup of tea and said, "What do you want to see me for at this time?"

"Director, I would like to apply for unpaid leave."

"What? What do you think? With your participation now, you will have great potential in the future."

"Director Liu, you know that I am not cut out for this job. I am only at my current level because of the policy. Otherwise, how could I have gotten to this point?"

Others might not know what was going on, but Li Jiayi must have known. If it weren't for the policy set by the ministry, he wouldn't even be able to reach the department level, let alone the department level.

If he exceeds the task target for three consecutive months, he can be directly promoted to a higher level. If there is no room for him to be promoted, his level is probably higher.

But even so, he is at the highest department level, with an administrative level of five.

To be honest, some deputy ministers may not have a higher administrative level than him. You should know that many deputy ministers are only at level seven.

Of course, level five, or even level four, is also deputy ministerial level, so it can be said that he has reached the limit of the bureau level.

Apart from anything else, Director Liu's administrative level is level six, one level lower than Li Jiayi.

It's just that the position is half a level higher.

"Have you thought about it?"

"I've thought about it, and I came here today just to tell you."

"It's no use just telling me this. You are the one who accepted the fate of the ministry. I can only report it to you. As for what the higher-ups say, I can't control it."

Li Jiayi's administrative level is higher than his, let's put it this way! As long as Li Jiayi agrees, his position will be higher than his in a few minutes.

Therefore, he had no qualifications to appoint or dismiss anyone. Not only Li Jiayi, but also many people in the factory were not qualified to be appointed or dismissed.

"Then report it. Anyway, I have made up my mind. If it doesn't work out, I will have to resign."

"Ah! To be honest, I really don't know what you are thinking. Even if you don't want to stay in the factory, you can still go to the ministry!"

"If I wanted to go, I would have gone a long time ago. You don't even need to tell me that."

"Yeah! That's true." Director Liu nodded, thinking about how he refused to transfer to the ministry two years ago.

"Okay, I won't say any more. Please help me talk to the higher-ups and let me go out and try my luck."

"Okay! I will definitely convey your message. As I said before, it depends on what the higher-ups say."

"Ok!"

After chatting with Director Liu for a while, Li Jiayi left.

Not leaving the factory, but leaving Director Liu's office.

To be honest, he has never had a proper experience in the factory during all these years. He is about to leave, so he has to take a good look at it.

"Director Li."

"Ok!"

"Director Li."

"Ok!"

Wherever he went, people greeted him.

Although he seldom came to the factory, there were very few people in the entire woolen mill who didn't know him, or even no one.

"Hey, Jiayi, why are you here today?"

Just as Li Jiayi was about to go to the logistics department, he ran into his second brother Li Chenghou.

"Brother, it's okay, come to the factory and take a look."

My second cousin Li Chenghou is also available now! He is currently serving as the deputy section chief of the second section of the Personnel Department.

The position is deputy section chief, but the administrative level is section chief.

"You are really amazing. I think you are the most unemployed factory leader. As the director of the logistics department, you may not come here many times a month."

"No way, there's nothing wrong, what am I doing here? As long as everything is running normally, that's all."

"Uh! Okay." Li Chenghou was speechless.

Only he dared to say this, not even the deputy factory director dared to say this.

"What's the matter?" Li Jiayi asked.

"Nothing much. I'm going to the factory office to deliver some information."

"Okay, go ahead and do your work! I'll go to the logistics department and if there's nothing else, I'll go back."

"Ok!"

After saying goodbye to his second cousin, Li Jiayi came to the logistics department and saw that it was operating normally. It would be the same with or without him, so he did not stay any longer.

An hour later, Li Jiayi appeared in a private room of a restaurant.

Of course he was not alone, Fatty and several of his brothers were there too.

"Boss, can we start now?" asked the fat man.

"Yes, you can start now. You can register the company tomorrow."

"Boss, what are we doing?"

"Jianshe, go with Fatty to register the company tomorrow. From now on, you will be the general manager of Anxin Transport Company."

"Ah! I'm the general manager?"

"Yes! When I go out, I'll say I'm Liu Jianshe, the general manager of Anxin Transportation Company. How cool!"

"But I don't understand anything!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. You can learn! Besides, the company has rules and regulations, so you just need to follow them."

"Okay! I'll try!"

"This is not just a try, but you have to do it well. Otherwise, if the brothers lose money, they will come after you."

"No way! Then I'd better not be the general manager."

"Okay, I was just kidding, don't worry! I definitely can't compensate you, and even if I did, it has nothing to do with you."

"That's pretty much it."

"Boss, what are we going to do?"

"You guys go and see the tricycle tomorrow."

After that, Li Jiayi took out a blueprint from his arms and handed it over, saying: "After buying the tricycle, modify it according to this blueprint."

The drawing in Li Jia's chapter is the kind of human-powered tricycle used for touring the alleys of the imperial capital in later generations.

"Boss, how many tricycles are you going to buy in the first batch?"

"First buy 500 vehicles, and after all of them are modified, buy the second batch."

Tricycles are relatively expensive, costing four to five hundred yuan, which is more expensive than two Phoenix bicycles.
