Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

After work in the afternoon, Wei Zixing followed He Yuzhu's instructions and took the canteen workers to plant 400 grape vines in the planned area. Because it was planted by cuttings, it was very convenient to plant. They only needed to water the place where the grapes were to be planted, and then insert the grape branches.

As time went to late April, the top leaders of the Xiaguo Workers and Peasants' Party convened a Xiaguo Advanced Producers Representatives Conference. With the convening of the conference, He Yuzhu was selected as an advanced worker in the logistics of the steel industry. When the news reached the Red Star Steel Mill, the entire leadership was boiling. This was the first time that a worker from the Red Star Steel Mill received a national honor. Secretary Wang and Director Zhang of the Red Star Steel Mill attached great importance to He Yuzhu's winning of the honorary title of National Advanced Worker. They instructed the Propaganda Department to make every worker in the Red Star Steel Mill aware of He Yuzhu's deeds and called on all workers in the Red Star Steel Mill to learn from He Yuzhu.

As the announcer's loud and exciting voice came from the radio: "Attention all workers in the steel rolling mill! Now I am going to announce a very important and exciting piece of good news to everyone - Comrade He Yuzhu, deputy director of the logistics department of our factory, has been gloriously elected as this year's national advanced worker! Here, let us send our most sincere congratulations to Comrade He Yuzhu! After hearing the good news that Comrade He Yuzhu was elected as a national advanced worker, Secretary Wang and Director Zhang called on all workers to learn from Comrade He Yuzhu. Let us congratulate him for greater strength in the construction of Xiaguo."

After listening to the broadcast, Yi Zhonghai, who was processing parts in the workshop, looked at the parts in front of him with a complicated expression. Then he glanced at his apprentice Jia Xudong at the other end of the workshop. If he had known that He Yuzhu was so outstanding, he should have let Jia Xudong and He Yuzhu move around more often. Now that He Yuzhu has become a national advanced worker, he will definitely soar to fame in the future. I'm afraid the courtyard in Nanluoguxiang can't accommodate He Yuzhu.

Just when Yi Zhonghai was regretting, Liu Haizhong was unusually excited. After He Yuzhu became a national advanced worker, the leaders of the steel rolling mill should soon promote He Yuzhu to a more important position. Then He Yuzhu becoming a higher official means having greater power, and then they can promote Liu Haizhong. Thinking of this, Liu Haizhong felt that he instantly became much younger, and his whole body was full of endless energy. The sledgehammer in his hand also became much lighter, and the parts he was hammering also looked more handsome.

After hearing this broadcast, Jia Xudong boasted to his co-workers, "See, I told you that He Yuzhu would be successful sooner or later. It hasn't been long since he was named a National Advanced Worker. At this rate, I estimate that within ten years, he might be able to become the director of our steel mill."

The worker next to him said jokingly: "Xudong, if He Yuzhu becomes the director of our factory, then you can also be the workshop director, right?"

"Of course. As long as He Yuzhu becomes the director of our steel mill, if he doesn't give me a job, I will no longer recognize him as my neighbor. He can forget about calling me brother anymore."

The workers nearby looked at Jia Xudong as if he was a monkey performing a show, and smiled and agreed with him.

Xu Damao, who was bragging to others in the Propaganda Department, smiled brightly after listening to the broadcast. Someone next to him said with a smile, "Xu Damao, why are you so happy that Deputy Director He became a National Advanced Worker? It's not you who became one."

Xu Damao said proudly, "You don't know this. Deputy Director He and I grew up in the same courtyard. Before I joined our factory, I called him "big brother" in the courtyard. He is now the deputy director of the logistics department, and he has been named a national advanced worker this year. I believe it won't be long before he soars to the top. By then, the position of director of the logistics department will definitely be his. When he becomes the director of the logistics department, he will definitely promote me, his little brother. That will be the day when I, Xu Damao, will become successful."

Director Liu of the Logistics Department attended the meeting held by Secretary Wang and Director Zhang. When he heard Secretary Wang announce that He Yuzhu had become a national advanced worker, he was shocked. He had originally wanted to wait until he retired and recommend Yang Ziling, who had always followed him, to take over as the new director of the Logistics Department. Now it seems that this is not possible. He should make good friends with He Yuzhu in the future. He Yuzhu is not someone he can suppress. He can only feel sorry for Yang Ziling. It seems that he will have to redistribute the work of the Logistics Department in the future and give He Yuzhu a greater burden.

After the meeting, Director Liu returned to the Logistics Department and immediately called Yang Zili to his office. After Yang Zili sat down, Director Liu slowly said, "Xiao Yang, how many years have you been with me?"

Yang Zili thought for a moment and said, "Director Liu, I have been following you since 44, which means it has been 12 years this year."

Director Liu took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Yes, it's been 12 years. I remember you were only 24 when you first followed me. Now you're almost 40. Xiao Yang, I believe you've heard the content of the broadcast."

Yang Zili smiled bitterly and nodded.

Director Liu stood up and patted Yang Zili on the shoulder, saying helplessly, "Xiao Yang, I was originally thinking of recommending you to take over as the director of the logistics department when I retire next year. With today's news, I'm afraid it won't work then. Unless the factory can promote He Yuzhu to a higher position, when I retire, the position of director of the logistics department will definitely go to He Yuzhu. I'm sorry to have to put up with you."

Yang Zili hurriedly said, "It's okay, Director Liu. I'm still young and I'll have a chance in the future. Besides, He Yuzhu is so young and capable that he won't be in the position of Director for long even if he becomes the Director of the Logistics Department. I'll still have a chance then. Besides, I'm really convinced that I lost to He Yuzhu."

Director Liu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Xiao Yang, I'm glad you think this way. I was worried that you wouldn't figure it out, so I was going to comfort you, but I didn't expect you to figure it out. Since you've figured it out, I'll tell you straight. Next, I'm going to readjust the responsibilities of the three of you. Just like you said, since He Yuzhu is so capable, I'll give him a bigger stage to display his talents. Maybe he'll become the deputy director before I retire next year, and then the position of director may still be yours."

Yang Zili smiled and said, "Director Liu, it's a bit exaggerated for He Yuzhu to be the deputy director at his age, but I feel that the position of director of the logistics department is just a transition for him. I believe that he will definitely be promoted to a higher position in a short time. Director Liu, just readjust it, I promise I will have no complaints."

Director Liu looked at Yang Zili with satisfaction and said, "Well, Xiao Yang, since you have figured it out, you might as well do it more thoroughly. You should get closer to He Yuzhu when you have nothing to do. Whether He Yuzhu continues to be the director of the logistics department or gets a higher position, it will not be bad for you. As for Lao Tian, ​​you don't have to care about him. He is much older than you. He no longer has the fighting spirit he had before. He can't compete with you. However, it's a good thing that He Yuzhu is young. Otherwise, with He Yuzhu's ability, if he were a few years older, it would probably be no problem for him to be a deputy factory manager. Then he would lead the two of us."

"Okay, Director Liu, I will do as you say."

He Yuzhu was excited and waiting to attend the National Advanced Producers' Representatives Conference held at the Sijiucheng Stadium on April 4. On the night of April 30, He Yuzhu lay in bed tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep. Lou Xiao'e asked curiously, "Brother He, why aren't you sleeping? Are you worried about something?"

He Yuzhu touched Lou Xiao'e's back and said, "Xiao'e, I'm so excited. Tomorrow I will go to the Sijiucheng Stadium to attend the National Advanced Production Representatives Conference. I heard that many of Xia's senior leaders will attend tomorrow's conference. When I think about meeting Xia's Twenty-Nine Paintings Less One Painting Student Chairman, I am so excited that I can't sleep."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Lou Xiao'e immediately sat up from He Yuzhu's arms and said with surprise, "What? Brother He, you will attend the National Advanced Workers Conference tomorrow. Can you meet the chairman of the Twenty-Nine Paintings Less One Painting Student?"

Seeing that Lou Xiao'e was more excited than he was after hearing what he said, He Yuzhu could only comfort her and said, "Xiao'e, you should be able to see her, but you can only see her from a distance, not get up close and personal with the Chairman of the Twenty-Nine Paintings Less One Painting Student."

"Then it's worth it. Brother He, you are amazing. You can even meet Chairman Twenty-Nine Paintings Less One Painting Student. If Chairman Twenty-Nine Paintings Less One Painting Student receives you, then you must say hello to him for me."

Looking at Lou Xiao'e who was so excited, He Yuzhu was glad that he told Lou Xiao'e today, otherwise Lou Xiao'e would have been so excited that she couldn't sleep since she got the news.

As April 4th arrived, flags fluttered in the wind around the Sijiucheng Stadium, filled with a joyful atmosphere. He Yuzhu came to the gathering place in his best clothes, and after undergoing inspection according to the requirements of the conference organizing committee, he took a bus to the Sijiucheng Stadium. After entering the Sijiucheng Stadium, he followed the instructions of the guide and came to his seat. As the national advanced workers entered the venue one after another, he found his seat and sat down. After all the national advanced workers entered the venue, accompanied by the music singing the motherland, all the national advanced workers who were originally sitting stood up and looked at the rostrum of the conference.

Suddenly, with the sound of applause, the figure of Chairman Twenty-Nine Paintings Less One Painting Student appeared at the entrance of the rostrum, and everyone burst into warm cheers and applause. Amid the warm cheers and applause, the senior leaders of Xia State appeared on the rostrum one after another. After all the senior leaders took their seats, the host of the conference, Lai Reyu, Chairman of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions of Xia State, walked to the microphone and announced the official start of the 1956 National Conference of Advanced Producers of Xia State. Then two leaders delivered opening speeches and congratulatory speeches respectively, and the National Conference of Advanced Producers of Xia State officially began.

During the next ten days of meetings, He Yuzhu was not only received by the chairman of the Twenty-Nine Paintings and One Painting Student, but also took a photo with the chairman of the Twenty-Nine Paintings and One Painting Student. He Yuzhu also took the opportunity to convey Lou Xiao'e's greetings to the chairman of the Twenty-Nine Paintings and One Painting Student.
