Chapter 59

Standing aside, Deputy Factory Director Li grabbed the microphone, brewed a feeling, and said loudly. "Tell everyone good news, the long-awaited Xiao Zhuang is here!"

Everyone rushed to the cafeteria when they heard the words.

In the staff canteen, the factory leaders, including Deputy Factory Manager Li, sat in a row.

Deputy factory director Li gave a generous speech, announcing the factory's assistance to Nanxiang Commune.

"The comrades headed by Comrade Xiao Yan have worked hard and skillfully, and won unanimous praise from the leaders of the Nanxiang Commune and the peasant brothers; in order to thank us for their selfless assistance, they gave us even more selfless rewards."

Deputy Factory Manager Li stood up, raised his arms, and said loudly. "They sent a 250-jin fat pig to our factory—Xiao Zhuang!"

Everyone applauded one after another, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic.

It may be difficult for those who have not lived through that special era to understand why they are so excited. Due to the poor living conditions at that time and the lack of pigs, eating meat was a very luxurious thing. Often, they could only eat a meal during the Chinese New Year. Meat; now that living conditions are better, everyone eats lean meat and no one eats fatty meat; but it was different back then. Fat meat was much more popular than lean meat because it was rich in fat and cheap.

In order to protect Xiao Zhuang, the Security Section of the No. [-] Steel Plant specially dispatched a motorcycle to march in front.

Xiao Yan was sitting in the back truck, chatting with Cui Dake, who was sent by Nanxiang Commune to escort the truck. "How is your income?"

Cui Dake introduced that the commune uses the production team as the accounting unit. When the economic situation is good, a working day’s work is worth [-] to [-] cents; It's not bad if the team's annual dividend can get seventy or eighty.

A curious look appeared on Xiao Yan's face. "Why don't you raise more pigs?"

Cui Dake complained. "Raising pigs is tiring and hard work, and you can't make any money. Everyone is unwilling to raise pigs!"

It turned out that raising pigs was all manual labor, which took a lot of time and energy, and they had to be fed bran and rice. It took more than half a year to grow them; if they were less than 131 catties, the food stations in the village generally did not buy them.

"Then how much is the purchase price of a food station like Xiao Zhuang?"

"Xiao Zhuang belongs to 150 catties and above, 56 yuan per 130 catties; 150 catties and above, but less than 50 catties, [-] yuan and [-] cents per [-] catties."

"How do you know so much about food stations?"

"That's what I do. When I entertain guests in the country, I will serve a plate of twice-cooked pork. Everyone knows that this is meat, and they don't know how to use chopsticks. Only children can sneak some meat."

"Since you work at a food station, have you ever killed a pig?"

Cui Dake responded with a sly look on his face. "I've killed pigs before!"

While the two were talking, the convoy had arrived at the gate of the factory. Xiao Zhuang was locked in a cage wearing red flowers.

It looked a little restless, coaxing the iron cage with its nose.

"Xiao Zhuang, be good, don't be afraid!"

Xiao Yan stepped forward to comfort him, strange to say, Xiao Zhuang seemed to understand Xiao Yan's meaning, and calmed down.

Cui Dake walked into the cafeteria ahead of Xiao Yan.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked in, Deputy Director Li said. "Attention everyone, this pig is here now!"

Everyone applauded.

Cui Dake was inevitably a little embarrassed at this time, he thought for a moment and walked in cheekily.

Everyone didn't see the pig, but saw him, and they couldn't help laughing.

Cui Dake didn't take it seriously, and saluted a few times to the rostrum, then turned to everyone.

"Dear workers and leaders, I am Cui Dake, a member of Nanxiang Commune. The pig behind me, Xiaozhuang, is our commune's pig to repay the big brother of the working class."

As soon as the words fell, someone pushed Xiao Zhuang out, and everyone stood up to watch with great interest.

Deputy Factory Manager Li hurriedly asked everyone to sit down.

Cui Dake said with a smile. "The leading comrades just said something wrong. This pig weighs more than 250 catties."

With a puzzled look on his face, Deputy Factory Manager Li glanced at the official letter again. "It says 250 catties, why is it wrong?"

Cui Dake nodded. "You're right. It was 250 catties when we set off, but after being fed on the road, the pig has now reached 250 catties."

The heavier the weight of Xiao Zhuang, the more meat everyone can share, and everyone raised their hands to applaud.

Deputy Factory Manager Li raised his arms and shouted. "Learn from the peasant brothers!"

"Learn from the big brother worker!" Brother Cui is not stupid, he also yelled loudly. "Hail to Big Brother Worker!"

Everyone applauded, and Deputy Director Li made a pause gesture. "I still have something to announce!"

He paused and said. "In order to encourage the work enthusiasm of the cadres and the masses, I will announce the commendation of Comrade Xiao Yan who has outstanding leadership performance in this agricultural support operation. After collective research by the factory leaders, Comrade Xiao Yan is now promoted to the eighth-level fitter. I hope Everyone learn from Comrade Xiao Yan."

When everyone heard the words, there was a shocked look on their faces, and they turned their eyes to Xiao Yan.

"It's not long since he became a seventh-level fitter, and he's been promoted again!"

"The speed of this promotion is really comparable to a rocket!"

"I'm also an eighth-level fitter. Yi Zhonghai has worked for decades and won't be judged until his hair is gray; but Xiao Yan is only 26 years old this year. The gap between people is really big!"

"Evaluated as an eighth-level fitter, you can get a high salary of 99 yuan a month, which is really enviable!"

"Xiao Yan is so young, he must have a bright future!"

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai was in the audience, his face turned red and then pale. He knew in his heart that when Xiao Yan was only a seventh-level fitter, he dared to turn against him in public; now that Xiao Yan is on the same level as him, I'm afraid If it doesn't work, he will become his own boss.

"I still underestimated him after all!"

Qin Huairu looked shocked. "I was really blind. I had a chance to choose a wealthy son-in-law, but I missed a dragon and chose a bug instead!"

Deputy Factory Manager Li handed the microphone to Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan smiled but did not answer it right away, but made a gesture of rejection.

Deputy Factory Manager Li was still not reconciled, he asked loudly to everyone. "We have asked Xiao Yan to come on stage to say a few words for everyone, everyone agree!"

Everyone said in unison. "OK!"

Xiao Yan smiled and took the microphone. "Thank you to the leaders for giving me this opportunity. I hope that everyone will work hard to study technology, bravely climb the peak without fear of difficulties, and contribute to the construction of Guojia."

The crowd applauded and cheered. "Xiao Yan said it very well!"

Yu Haitang, who was on the sidelines, shook his head slightly, with a look of disapproval on his face, and said in his heart. "Xiao Yan's words disappointed me. If he only knows how to concentrate on researching technology, he will be just a craftsman after all, and he won't have any great prospects."

Yu Haitang is obsessed with politics. In her opinion, a man must be enlightened and have a political vision to be successful.

Ding Qiunan came from a medical family, her parents were intellectuals, she didn't like to socialize by nature, she just read books to study medical skills in her spare time, so when she heard Xiao Yan's words, she showed admiration on her face. "I didn't expect him to be the same kind of person as me."

Ding Qiunan is introverted by nature, although she agrees with Xiao Yan in her heart, she will not boldly pursue Xiao Yan.
