In the autumn of 1962, Premier Zhou Enlai invited experts in the development of the two bombs to talk about their work, and then invited them to dinner. After the meal, the secretary said: "The prime minister's invitation is at his own expense, so please pay one or two food stamps for each of you." ”
On that day, the premier invited experts participating in the development of the two bombs to Zhongnanhai to discuss the progress of work, including Zhang Aiping, Qian Sanqiang, Wang Xiaochang, and Deng Jiaxian. When the work was almost over, and in the blink of an eye it was time for dinner, and the prime minister said, "Please eat today." "At that time, the country's economic conditions were poor, and the prime minister himself was particularly simple. This time, it is a piece of oil cake per person, a bowl of stew, and a casserole in the middle with a few meatballs.
The meal was different from everyone's thoughts, and everyone was a little hesitant. At this time, Premier Zhou greeted everyone: "Comrades, sit down quickly, don't be polite, I don't have anything to entertain everyone, feel free to eat some, don't be weird." After listening to the prime minister's words, everyone still did not move, and the premier saw that everyone was hesitant, so he picked up a steamed bun and took a big bite and ate it. Everyone followed and ate.
Although the meal was very ordinary, I don't know why, everyone ate that meal very fragrantly, and many years later, when we talked about it together, everyone missed this meal and Missed Premier Zhou Enlai who ate with them.
After the meal, something even more interesting happened, Premier Zhou's secretary said: "Excuse me, the premier invites guests to dinner at his own expense, but the food stamps are a fixed amount, there is no excess, I hope that each person will pay one or two food stamps." Listening to this sentence, the scientific researchers all took out their own food stamps and handed them over, and their admiration for the prime minister was born in their hearts.
At this time, a person said awkwardly: "Can I take credit first?" This person was Deng Jiaxian, who happened not to have a food stamp with him that day, so he owed Premier Zhou Enlai one or two food stamps, and he had been thinking about this matter in his heart, but unfortunately, until Premier Zhou's death, he did not have the opportunity to repay this food stamp.
Deng Jiaxian was also deeply influenced by the premier and has always set strict demands on himself. In 1985, he was hospitalized for cancer, but his physical condition has been unstable. He cherished time even more and wanted to do two things well, one was a proposal for the future cause of nuclear physics, and the other was that he always wanted to write a professional book on nuclear physics.
He is one of the experts in nuclear physics, the president of the Ninth Academy, and according to the level, he can already be equipped with a special car. In the face of the above arrangement, he only took a car to Tiananmen Square for a turn, which was a privilege, and he never used a special car again.
Once, his wife Xu Luxi fell ill and was hospitalized, and when he went back to visit, he encountered heavy rain. He would rather squeeze the bus in the rain than ask for it, which he felt was a private matter. Even if it is a business, every time he returns to Beijing to work for a period of time, he will buy a monthly pass card and squeeze the bus to make him feel at ease.
In that generation, although the material life was insufficient, the spirit was noble. Under such harsh conditions, they have created one miracle after another.
@Veeyn living conditions are better now, I don't recommend putting too much thought into family food. Although the food is exquisite, it will waste a lot of time and energy. During the New Year, relatives and friends move around frequently, today your family eats, tomorrow his family eats, behind a table of exquisite meals, it may be two people's calculations and efforts in the past week, which is likely to cause waste and low cost performance.
