Chapter Seven Do Two Things for Me(1/2)
In the room, Liu Yan smiled and said to Zhou Haiyang, whose face was full of anger: "Haiyang, we have been together for so many years, I know you are doing it for my own good.
Even though you can't understand what I did today, I can't explain it to you either.
Although you are born with a slow mind, I believe that you will understand it after a year and a half."
"Liu Yan, why did you become like this after a short sleep? You just changed what you said. Your brain was damaged by Lili and her second brother, right?
Since you decided not to leave, you should discuss it with me in advance!
Over the years, haven't we discussed everything together?
Why did it happen so suddenly? It caught me off guard, what did you make me think?"
"Ocean, should you go or go your own way? This matter has nothing to do with you!"
"Look at what you said, if I leave you here alone, can I leave with peace of mind? Does your matter have nothing to do with me?
If you had told me earlier, I could have stayed with you instead of leaving!"
"Hai Yang, I can't delay you any longer, you can't stay with me forever, can you?
Besides, I still have Lili and her family with me, so you don’t have to worry."
"The problem is, I really can't figure it out. We have been waiting for five years, and the opportunity to return to the city finally came, but you gave up on your own initiative.
Do you really want to live in this poor ravine with your face facing the loess and your back facing the sky all your life?
Well, I won't leave today. Anyway, I will report to the unit before the end of the month at the latest.
I'll stay with you for two more days, and you can think about it carefully and make a decision after you think about it."
"Ocean, I know very well the decision I have made. Every loss must be rewarded, and this may not be a bad thing for me.
Remember this sentence: When God closes a door, he will definitely open a window for you..."
"No? When did you become so open-minded?"
At this moment, Liu Yan knew in his heart that he could not tell Zhou Haiyang that starting from the second half of 1976, China would undergo a series of changes...
More importantly, on October 21, 1977, major Chinese media will announce the resumption of the college entrance examination.
Since you are reborn in this life, you must seize this opportunity! This is what Liu Yan wants, and those recruitment methods are nothing!
On December 10 and 11, 1977, 5.7 million candidates in China will enter the college entrance examination room that has been closed for ten years...
Examination scores will become the only basis for selecting talents, replacing family background, social relations and political review in the past.
From then on, the door of opportunity for educated youth who went to the mountains and countryside was no longer a thin and heavy recommendation form, but truly opened to every educated youth who was eager to change their destiny!
The system that once relied on recommendations from work units and approval from leaders to go to university will become history from now on.
The reason why I dare to make the decision to stay today is not only my feelings for Fan Lili in my previous life, but also my prediction and confidence in what is about to happen in this life.
Liu Yan firmly believes that he will be able to make up for the regrets of his previous life in the college entrance examination in 1977.
At the same time, Fan Lili can be admitted to the same university as herself.
By the way! And Zhou Haiyang.
The three people in the previous life were classmates in the same university, and they must be the same in this life!
…
"I estimate that good times will not last more than a year and a half at most.
Don't worry! In less than two years, I will definitely be able to leave here. Not only me, but also Lili, we will leave here together.
Do you believe it? How about we make a bet?"
"Bet? You don't even know what era this is, are you still in the mood to bet?"
Liu Yan nodded: "Of course! Tell me! What are you betting on?"
Zhou Haiyang looked at Liu Yan in confusion, wondering if this boy was really beaten stupid by Fan Lili and her second brother, and he actually started talking nonsense...
He smiled bitterly and shook his head, but did not answer Liu Yan's words.
At this moment, Liu Yan seemed to suddenly remember something, and then said: "Okay! I won't joke with you anymore. I need you to return to the county seat as soon as possible according to the original plan. When you get to the county seat, help me do two things."
"Why are you so anxious?"
Liu Yan said in a deep voice: "When you arrive in the county seat, first send me five urgent telegrams."
"Five letters? Still urgent? Are you still in the dream?"
"I can't explain this to you now, so just believe me! Just do whatever I tell you to do."
Liu Yan really didn't know what to say to Zhou Haiyang, let alone explain to him.
Because no one in this world can understand and believe in the prophecy of a time traveler.
Even though he is the person he trusts most, he will treat you as a lunatic or a lunatic, especially in this era where superstition is strongly advocated.
Liu Yan continued: "If someone asks you, just say it was given to classmates in middle school.
I will prepare the contents of the telegram and hand it over to you in a moment. You can just send it according to what I wrote.
Remember! Not a single letter or punctuation mark can be changed, and it must be done urgently!”
Although this reason sounds very far-fetched, Liu Yan thinks that for a slow-minded person like Zhou Haiyang, he can still fool him...
This is the first and most important thing Liu Yan must do when he is reborn into this world.
Today is July 25, 1976.
These five telegrams will be sent to the General Administration of Seismology of China, the Tangling Municipal Seismological Bureau, the Lingbei Provincial Seismological Bureau, as well as the Yanjing Municipal Seismological Bureau and Tianhai Municipal Seismological Bureau that will be affected on July 28.
One telegram may not attract enough attention, but Liu Yan believes that the power of these five telegrams cannot be underestimated.
If it can be sent out on the evening of July 25, the content of this telegram can be translated by the morning of July 26 at the latest, and it is possible to do preventive work one to two days in advance.
This can minimize the losses caused by the Tangling earthquake.
That's all I can do about the coming big earthquake.
As for whether the recipient believed what the telegram said and whether the relevant departments could minimize the losses of the disaster, Liu Yan was powerless.
Liu Yan knew in his heart that the greatest advantage of being reborn in this world is foresight, but it is not the pentathlon.
There should be things to do and things not to be done. Some things can be done and some things cannot be done. But these five telegrams cannot but be sent.
As for what accidents and consequences it would bring to him, although he felt uneasy, Liu Yan could no longer tolerate hesitation and scruples.
I saw Liu Yan quickly tearing off a calendar from the wall, and on the back, he used English letters, numbers and punctuation marks to combine a series of codes.
After folding the piece of paper he had written on, he handed it to Zhou Haiyang: "When the time comes, hand it over directly to the telegraph counter. You cannot change a word or a symbol. Just send it out according to the letters written on it.
No matter how late it is tonight, this telegram must be sent!
If anyone asks who these telegrams are sent to, just say they are sent to classmates."
Liu Yan knew that Zhou Haiyang in his previous life was slow-minded, so he explained it again uneasily.
At this moment, Zhou Haiyang's face was full of seriousness, and he nodded solemnly to Liu Yan.
He took out an old wallet from his pocket and carefully put the note in: "Don't worry! I will send it out tonight when I get to the county seat!"
Liu Yan continued: "There is a second thing..."
"Say it!" Zhou Haiyang said.
Liu Yan paused: "You know my hobby of collecting stamps.
After you arrive at the county seat, help me buy commemorative stamps, special stamps, WG stamps, numbered stamps, and souvenir sheets and small editions issued by China Post before 1976. Buy as many as you can.
If you don’t have enough money, buy WG tickets, numbered tickets, miniature sheets and small edition sheets first.
I have 500 yuan in my hand, which are the work points I saved from working in Yuanping for the past five years."
"Damn it! You still have so much private money hidden away? After getting married, Lili didn't ask for it from you?"
"Hey! The Fan family doesn't lack my money. Besides, my mind wasn't here before, and I always thought about leaving one day.
So, I kept all the money from these years..."
With that said, Liu Yan took out an envelope from under the straw mat and handed it to Zhou Haiyang.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that in his previous life, Zhou Haiyang had a problem. He always hid cash and deposit certificates under the quilt...
I couldn't help but smile.
Zhou Haiyang took the money handed over by Liu Yan and said: "This matter is easy to handle. When the superiors issue stamps every year, they allocate it to the lower levels.
The tasks assigned to various municipal post and telecommunications bureaus from above cannot be completed every year, resulting in a large inventory backlog in various municipalities.
Moreover, people who send letters like to use new stamps, so the backlog of old stamps becomes more and more..."
"Who did you hear this from?" Liu Yan asked.
"Listen to what Liang Ming says!"
"Which Liang Ming?"
"He is also an educated youth who graduated from No. 1 Middle School in Yongfeng County. He came back to the city with Pei Xiaohong last year to recruit workers. His father is the director of the Yongfeng County Post and Telecommunications Bureau.
