Siheyuan: I Raised Ten Thousand Wild Boars

Chapter 8 Technical Department

I followed Sister Zhang to the technical department and first passed several large offices with quite a few people inside.

Finally we came to an independent office, which was the office of the head of the technical department.

The head of the technical department is Wang Li, who is in his thirties. He is a senior engineer of the textile factory and also a member of the factory committee.

"Director Zhang, what brings you here?" Wang Li asked in surprise.

Since open flames are not allowed in the factory area, many people are heavy smokers and have no choice but to hide in the office building to smoke. The smoke makes him uncomfortable, let alone other female comrades.

"Xiao Li has recovered and asked to come back to work, so I sent him to you!" Zhang Guizhi said with a smile, pulling Li Guohua from behind to the front.

"Hello, Section Chief!" Li Guohua came up and stood at attention, then shouted in a straight voice.

It is still unclear what kind of personality this section chief has, so it is better to be honest. It is okay to be laughed at.

"Hahaha, Li Guohua, you used to be so gentle and soft, but now you've changed so much that I can hardly recognize you! It's good that you've changed. A revolutionary comrade should be full of vigor and vitality!" Wang Li said with a smile

Most people of this era were not as particular as those in later generations. They were all genuinely committed to development, and Wang Li was no exception.

Zhang Guizhi also told Wang Li about Li Guohua's amnesia, and Wang Li directly said that it was no problem.

"Okay, I'll leave then!"

Seeing that the two were chatting, Zhang Guizhi prepared to leave. There were several thousand people in the factory, and her personnel department was very busy.

Wang Li asked about Li Guohua's physical recovery and seeing that he was really well, he took him to the third group of the technical department.

Li Guohua works in the third group of the technical department. The group leader is Cao Daguo, who is Li Guohua's master.

This is a small office. There are four people in it now. Some are reading books, some are writing and drawing, and there is a bearded man reading a newspaper.

"Cao Daguo!"

"Chief! Are you okay, Xiao Li?"

The middle-aged man with a full beard stood up immediately and asked in surprise when he saw Li Guohua following Wang Li.

"Xiao Li has just recovered. I'm leaving him in your hands. Take good care of him and don't make any more mistakes!" Wang Li said with a stern face.

"Yes, Chief!" Cao Daguo responded repeatedly.

The last time an accident happened in the factory, many workshops were affected. Since the factory's security personnel were not yet complete, the technical department was extremely busy during that period.

"Guohua, how do you feel now?"

"Guohua, do you still remember who I am?"

Seeing Wang Li gave a few instructions and left, everyone in the office gathered around him.

Previously, Li Guohua was injured in the head by the explosion, and he looked dazed and stupid. As colleagues in the same group, they had all seen him. Now that he had suddenly recovered, everyone was very curious and gathered around to ask him questions.

Li Guohua didn't know how to answer. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, smiled, and served cigarettes to everyone one by one.

"Alright, alright, everyone, move aside, you guys are going to knock this innocent person out!"

Cao Daguo pushed the others aside, then walked up to Li Guohua and looked left and right!

"Master!" Li Guohua felt a little embarrassed when being looked at, but fortunately he was mentally prepared.

"Well, your eyes are clear now, and you are much more cunning than before. You are indeed better now! If you don't want to remember the past, just follow me from now on!"

Cao Daguo nodded and took the cigarette handed to him by Li Guohua with a smile.

"Yes, master!"

Li Guohua doesn't know anything, so it's natural for him to follow Cao Daguo.

The third group consists of 6 people, including the team leader Cao Daguo, and team members Li Guohua, Huang Deming, Wang Wancheng, Han Wenlong, and Tian Songlin.

Among them, Huang Deming and Wang Wancheng are in their thirties and are already married. Han Wenlong, Tian Songlin and Li Guohua are all around eighteen or nineteen years old.

The other one is Cao Daguo, who is the oldest and is already in his fifties.

Although he looks like a technician with his full beard, he used to work in a textile factory in the old society and is very familiar with foreign textile machines.

After liberation, his superiors learned about his situation and arranged for him to continue to shine in the textile factory. Cao Daguo did not have a high level of education, and everything he knew was accumulated through experience. His position as a team leader should be the highest peak he could achieve.

It would naturally be difficult for the third technical group led by such a person to research any new products, new processes or new technologies.

Because there are not many people in the factory who understand machines, and Cao Daguo is experienced, Wang Li asked him to lead the entire team to maintain the factory's machines and daily production, and at the same time be responsible for training the factory's security personnel.

The third group claims to be technicians, but they actually do maintenance work (installation, maintenance, care and inspection).

After getting acquainted with a few people, Cao Daguo asked Han Wenlong to take Li Guohua to the logistics department to collect supplies.

I went to the logistics department to get my personal items, a pen, a notebook, a pair of rubber shoes, a pair of gloves. It seems that I can get a pair every month. I also got a set of summer work clothes. The textile factory is short of everything except these things.

In addition to these, Li Guohua was finally given a stack of meal tickets.

It turns out that at this time, everyone in the city had a food ration. The country folk jokingly called it a rationed household registration. It’s not obvious now, but after a year or two, it will become very important.

The rations for each person vary according to the type of work and administrative level. For example, the rations for technical and administrative workers are smaller, while those who work hard in steel mills have the largest rations.

Li Guohua's monthly ration was 30 kilograms. He could post his personal ration on the street and get food coupons through his food book. He could also post it at the factory, and the factory would go to the food bureau to withdraw food and finally distribute food coupons to everyone in the canteen.

Previously, Li Guohua worked in a factory. In order to increase production and output, the factory tried every means to purchase meat to motivate the workers. The factory cafeteria could be seen with greasy smell from time to time, so personal rations were set in the factory.

The last time Li Guohua was injured, he hadn’t even received his monthly rations, so this time the logistics staff simply gave him all the rations.

When I returned to the office, no one was there. Han Wenlong said that everyone was busy, either with a machine problem or inspecting the workshop.

Li Guohua had nothing to do, so he sat back at his previous workstation. Seeing a pile of textile books on the table, it seemed that his predecessor was indeed a good comrade who loved to study.

Li Guohua picked up a book (Textile Materials Experiment) and started flipping through it. There were a lot of traditional Chinese characters in it, but it did not affect the reading.

"The machines in Spinning Workshop 2 are broken again. Wenlong, Guohua, the two of you come with me!" Cao Daguo suddenly appeared outside the door and shouted into the house.

When Li Guohua saw that something was going on, he quickly put down his book and followed Han Wenlong happily.

A textile mill does not just weave cloth, it also has a host of functional workshops such as raw materials, carding, spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing, etc.

The various workshops cover a very wide area, and each workshop also has many fine process divisions.

The three of them came to the spinning workshop No. 2 where the problem occurred. Li Guohua's first feeling was that it was very hot, very humid. There were already several people checking the problem of the machine in front.
