The first photo is from when the educated youth went to the countryside. It is a black and white photo.

Jiang Xiaobai stood in the middle, with an obvious big patch on his pants and a bright smile.

There were fourteen people in total. The background was at the entrance of Jianhua Village. There was a large pine tree with lush branches. However, it was no longer visible. Duan Zhixiang paid special attention to it when he left.

That place has now become a slaughterhouse and a cold storage.

There is a motorcade lined up in front of the door, here to pull pork.

The second photo shows several rooms in the courtyard of the educated youth that have been transformed into production workshops, which are still very primitive.

In the photo, there are people in the yard picking peaches from the mountains, some carrying a box of freshly made cans to the warehouse, and some holding firewood to boil water for pre-cooking.

Jiang Xiaobai was standing on the steps in the courtyard with his arms crossed, his face full of smiles and longing for the future.

The third photo is of educated youth studying in a circle in the courtyard at night. Some are sitting together in twos and threes, and some are discussing together around a long table.

This time should be when the college entrance examination was just resumed in 1978, the year of college entrance examination. I heard that in that year except Jiang Xiaobai and the current director of the educated youth cannery Wang Meng.

Everyone else has passed the exam, Duan Zhixiang thought, turning over another photo.

It was when the Educated Youth Cannery was established. At this time, only two educated youths, Jiang Xiaobai and Wang Meng, were left.

By the way, Li Laosan, who was entertaining me, was also there.

The other educated youths must have left.

The next photo is when Daganbao was dividing the land...

Duan Zhixiang looked at the photos one by one, and coupled with what he heard, he could go back to the beginning by looking at the photos.

Jiang Xiaobai, Jianhua Village, and these factories were built bit by bit from scratch.

After Duan Zhixiang read it, he carefully picked up the photo with paper and put it in his bag.

These photos are really precious. They record not only the growth of Jiang Xiaobai, not only the growth of Jianhua Village, but also the transformation and development of the entire domestic economy.

Jiang Xiaobai read in the newspaper on the train that during the finals on August 8, the Chinese team showed its strengths and defeated the American team in three straight sets, winning the gold medal and realizing the long-cherished wish of the Chinese women's volleyball team to win three consecutive championships.

After Duan Zhixiang returned to the newspaper office, he reported the collected materials to the editor-in-chief.

Originally, he was planning to write this report in Jianhua Village.

But after the interview, he was a little undecided.

The purpose of journalists is of course to record the truth, but at the same time they also need to serve politics.

Although it is already 1984, private enterprise is still a very sensitive topic.

If the newspaper he works for is some newspaper in the south, then don't worry, but the People's Daily he works for.

Every article you publish will be over-interpreted, so you must be careful when publishing every article.

This is also the reason why he came to the editor-in-chief with the materials.

After the editor-in-chief read it, he was also shocked. A millionaire is still a human being.

His monthly salary is only a few hundred yuan, which is countless times higher than the income of other people.

But at this young age, Jiang Xiaobai is already a millionaire.

One million, I can't make that much money in my lifetime if I don't eat or drink.

"Editor-in-chief, it's not about money. Do you think it's appropriate to write this article?" Duan Zhixiang was speechless. The direction you are concerned about is good.

He had forgotten that when he first got the news, he was shocked by the huge number.

The editor thought for a while and said: "In this way, you write an article first, I will read it and revise it for you, and then we will ask the superiors about it. When writing, try to downplay Jiang Xiaobai and highlight the concept of enterprise."

"Okay, I'll go back and write it right away." Duan Zhixiang responded happily, although the editor-in-chief refused to write this article.

He would also accept it, and he had expected it, but if the editor asked him to write it now, it would be better, and his trip would not be in vain.

On August 12, the world-famous Olympic Games came to an end.

Our country ranks fourth with 15 gold medals.

The day after the Olympic Games, Jiang Xiaobai returned to Jianhua Village.

"Director Xiaobai, you are back. The Olympic athletes are about to return to China. Do you think we should go to the capital to welcome them?"

As soon as Jiang Xiaobai came back, Song Weiguo came over.

"Okay, it's time to go to the capital. The Olympic athletes have also made great contributions to the development of our cannery and clothing factories," Jiang Xiaobai nodded.

"But don't worry, let's go the day after tomorrow. Just give me a day off and send two people to greet me at the airport and hold a banner. Anyway, we won't be able to see anyone when we go."

"That's right, okay, then I'll make arrangements." Song Weiguo said.

After Song Weiguo left, Jiang Xiaobai was going to get something, go to the bathhouse to take a bath, and then have a good sleep.

Wang Meng and Wang Chao arrived.

"Okay, it seems that I can't take a bath. Tell me what you have to say." Jiang Xiaobai put his mind at ease, sat down again, and said with a smile.

"It's nothing but news that a cannery in Shimen City has a food canning production line for sale."

Wang Meng said with a smile.

Jiang Xiaobai couldn't sit still now and asked in surprise.

"Really, is this news reliable?"

"Reliable, Brother Li has a friend who works on a pig farm in Shimen City. I asked someone to inquire about it, and the news is true," Wang Meng said.

"Well, I know this person is Director Liu, right?" Jiang Xiaobai said. He had dinner with Director Liu last time.

"Yes, that's Director Liu," Wang Meng nodded.

"What are the conditions?" Jiang Xiaobai asked.

"The specifics are not clear yet. This cannery in Shimen City used to be a major exporter. Now, exports are also sluggish. The domestic cannery market is also fiercely competitive.

This production line is of no use if it is left idle, so we need to buy it.”

"In this case, you go and prepare. We will set off to Shimen City tomorrow." Jiang Xiaobai made up his mind in an instant.

Although going to the capital to meet the Olympic athletes is also important, the canned food production line is even more important.

After the popularity of the Olympic Games became popular, the educated youth canneries simply couldn't supply it.

Productivity is too low. Under such circumstances, if production capacity is not increased, educated youth canned food need not even think about leaving Shanxi Province.

As for the canning production line, it is also hard to find. Now it is impossible to find a factory in the province.

Then we can only expand the production capacity of the Educated Youth Cannery.
