Chapter 62 The Spring Festival of 1978
February 1978, 2, the first day of the first lunar month, suitable for praying for blessings, marriage, children, and wealth

After waking up, Li Changhe comfortably crawled out of the quilt, then walked to the window wearing autumn clothes and autumn pants and opened the curtains.

It was white outside, and looking out the window, I could see the northern scenery.

It snowed a few days ago and it hasn't melted yet.

The capital is still cold this year and the snow can last for a long time.

Looking at the white land outside, Li Changhe recalled a passage from his previous life.

After the snow, the capital city suddenly turned into Beiping.

That is the remembrance of the ancient city by thousands of netizens.

It's a pity that he is now in Peking City, but he doesn't have a camera or a drone, so he can't capture this beautiful snow scene.

Yesterday was New Year’s Eve, and today is New Year’s Day.

Old Li's family lived a very ordinary life. There were not as many rules as in later generations, no Spring Festival Gala, and no one even stayed up all night to celebrate the New Year.

After all, many rules are still old customs from previous years. On New Year’s Eve at that time, people had to eat bitter memories rice and family members had to criticize each other.

We don’t have to eat the bitter memory rice this year, nor do we have to celebrate the collective New Year. It’s already very good to be able to stay at home and have a good meal by myself.

Li Changhe heard the sound of firecrackers in the middle of the night last night.

It kept crackling for a while, and I don't know who was so smart as to secretly bring it up and had the guts to set it off on New Year's Eve.

But this is enough to show that the ideological shackles of the previous few years are increasingly being broken by people of this era.

Today is the first day of the new year, and the Li family is entertaining guests.

His distant uncle, Shen Juncheng and his family will be over for dinner soon.

Li Lishan also took the opportunity to invite Li Changhe's future father-in-law and his family, and Professor Zhu readily agreed.

Upstairs and downstairs, the relatives will soon be together. It is normal to get together for some fun during the New Year.

There aren't so many rules.

After all, everyone has been feeling depressed in the past few years.

There was soon noise coming from outside. My mother, Shen Yuxiu, got up early in the morning and started busying herself.

In addition to the fried meatballs, there are also fish, shrimp, beef, pork, and dough that needs to be kneaded and made into dumplings.

This year, thanks to Li Changhe's wealthy fortune, the supplies his family had stockpiled in advance were also extremely abundant, exceeding that of 99% of families of this era.

"Changhe, are you awake?"

Not long after, Shen Yuxiu's shouting was heard outside.

Li Changhe put on his clothes and walked out.

"Wake up mom, what's wrong?"

"The snow outside hasn't melted yet. I guess your uncle and his family can't ride their bikes and have to walk here."

"Please get dressed and go meet them later. If they have anything with them, you can lend a hand."

Shen Yuxiu instructed Li Changhe.

Li Changhe met Shen Juncheng a few days ago and also went to Shen Juncheng's home.

Compared to the luck of Li Lishan and Shen Yuxiu, Li Changhe's uncle Shen Zhongyun and his wife were not so lucky.

After all, they had a child to take care of, so they worked much harder than Li Lishan and his wife at that time.

In addition, neither of them could carry anything on their shoulders or lift anything with their hands, and the injuries they suffered were much more serious than those of Li Lishan and his wife.

This is also the reason why Shen Yuxiu asked Li Changhe to go over.

"Okay, I'll leave right away!"

"Take my fox fur scarf and put it on your aunt."

Seeing Li Changhe was about to leave, Shen Yuxiu spoke to Li Changhe again.

A few years ago, my eldest sister Li Xiaojun sent me a big package, including several pairs of large cotton shoes and a fox fur scarf.

The fox fur was hunted by his brother-in-law Chen Aiguo in the mountains. Li Changhe never thought that he had this ability.

However, the fact that they knew to honor their mother-in-law in advance shows that Li Xiaojun and Chen Aiguo are not too stupid.

Apart from anything else, Shen Yuxiu really liked this fox fur scarf after it was given to her.

"Okay, I see."

Li Changhe went into the house to get a fox fur scarf, then wrapped it around his neck without hesitation.

Then he put on his military coat, Lei Feng hat, and the cotton shoes his elder sister had sent him.

The cotton shoes sent by Li Xiaojun also had some kind of fur inside, and the insoles were made of grass, which Li Changhe estimated to be Ula grass. Anyway, they were really comfortable to wear, and my feet didn't feel cold even when walking in the snow.

After wrapping himself up, Li Changhe walked out.

Walking on the thick snow, we headed towards the family quarters of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The staff quarters of the Industrial College and the staff quarters of the Chinese Academy of Sciences are both on both sides of Baiyi Road, but one is on the east and the other is on the west. But just keep walking along Baiyi Road.

The straight-line distance is a little over two kilometers.

Walking on the road, Li Changhe saw some children playing and sliding on the snow from time to time.

There are also some brave ones who are not afraid of falling and still ride their bicycles, showing off their riding skills in a crooked way.

Li Changhe had walked less than two kilometers when he saw a group of people coming towards him. They were Shen Juncheng's family.

Shen Juncheng also saw Li Changhe and waved at him from a distance.

Li Changhe quickened his pace and went forward to meet him.

"Changhe, why are you here?"

Seeing Li Changhe coming, Shen Juncheng said hurriedly.

"My mom was afraid the road would be slippery, so she asked me to come pick you up."

"Aunt, put this on. My sister sent it to you before the New Year. My mom asked me to bring it to you to keep warm."

At this time, Li Changhe took off the scarf around his neck and handed it to Shen Juncheng's mother.

"Give me the stuff, I'll carry it."

At the same time, Li Changhe took what she was holding.

It’s nothing really, just a box of snacks and a head of cabbage.

"Changhe, is this college entrance examination essay above yours?"

At this time, uncle Shen Zhongyun suddenly handed over a rolled-up newspaper and asked Li Changhe excitedly.

"College Entrance Examination Essay?"

Li Changhe was a little surprised. He took it and unfolded it to take a look.

Sure enough, a large space below the front page was filled with two college entrance examination essays.

My Year of Fighting

One of the articles was signed by Li Changhe.

When Li Changhe saw it, he was stunned.

It is only natural that Liu Xuehong's composition was published in People's Daily. This composition of his in his previous life was also published in People's Daily.

But what happened? My article was also published.
He just wanted to take advantage of the great man's fame and get a higher score for his composition.

This is so damn good that it has even reached the top of the People's Daily.

This is too high!

Speaking of which, I wonder if the People's Daily will pay me for publishing my composition?
A strange idea suddenly flashed through Li Changhe's mind.

But the next second, he kicked the thought out.

What do you think?
"Well, did you write it?"

Shen Zhongyun asked anxiously at this time.

Compared to his father Li Lishan, a science and engineering man, Shen Zhongyun, although also a science and engineering man, has an unyielding dream of literature.

This can be seen from the names he gave his children.

Juncheng, Qingyu

These names are obviously very cultural, and are completely different from the patriotism, construction and nation-building of this era.

Therefore, it was an extremely important thing for him that his eldest nephew could publish his composition in the People's Daily.

This is the People's Daily, the most authoritative newspaper in the country.

"It's mine. I don't know why the People's Daily published this essay."

Li Changhe did not deny it at this time. This was a pleasant surprise for him.

Being featured in the People's Daily is like giving him a talisman and a label.

The Spring Festival of 1978 was a good start for him!
