Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

He Yuzhu took the train ticket to his sleeper car, and after packing his luggage, he couldn't help but sigh: He told Lou Xiao'e last year that he would take Xiao'e to Baiyun City to meet her parents this spring, but plans cannot keep up with changes, so he brought the workers to Western Region Province. Now it is mid-April, and it will be the end of April when he returns to Sijiu City by train. It seems that he will not be able to take Xiao'e to Lingnan Province to reunite with her parents at the spring export commodity conference, and can only wait until the autumn export commodity conference to think of a solution.

He Yuzhu closed his eyes and lay on the soft sleeper, and began to plan the next development of the farm. The farm is now located on the northern ridge of the Tianshan Mountains. As long as it follows the direction of the Tianshan Mountains, the farm can develop east or west in the future. As long as there is a river, wasteland can be reclaimed and farmland can be built.

One of the fundamental reasons why He Yuzhu chose Qitai County as his next farm over 200 kilometers away was that there was a super-large coal mine in the north of Qitai County, and he wanted to take the opportunity to develop this coal mine.

According to the original history, this world-class super coalfield would not be discovered until 2005 in the new century. Moreover, this coal mine is an open-pit coal mine, which is much more convenient to mine than those underground coal mines. Although He Yuzhu's risking his life to advise and advance layout slowed down the radical economic development from 1958 to 1960 to a certain extent, it did not completely eliminate the blind advance of the national economy.

For example, in the coal industry, the annual coal production exceeded 1956 million tons in 1, and exceeded 1957 million tons in 1.3. In 1958, the national coal production exceeded 2 million tons, and in 1959, it exceeded 3.00 million tons, reaching 3.69 million tons. In 1960, China's coal production reached 3.97 million tons.

But in fact, no new large-scale coal mines were built in the country from 1958 to 1960. On the contrary, due to the tense relationship between Rabbit and Russia, investment in the coal mining sector slowed down, but coal production experienced explosive growth. The price was that coal mines across the country blindly and barbarically exploited coal resources, selecting only those thick coal seams that were easier to mine, and directly abandoning those thinner coal seams that were not easy to mine.

But thick coal seams will eventually be mined out, so coal production began to decline significantly in 1961. Although Red Star Steel Plant, as a key national steel enterprise, had no problem with coal supply for steelmaking, He Yuzhu still saw in the newspaper that coal supply in some places was becoming tight. Therefore, in order to alleviate the problem of domestic coal supply, this super-large open-pit coal mine needed to be put into use ahead of schedule.

As long as this super-large open-pit coal mine can be completed, the domestic coal shortage will be alleviated in the future. However, it will be necessary to expand the railway from the mainland to the Western Region Province. Otherwise, even if the coal is dug out from the ground, it will be meaningless if it cannot be transported to the eastern region.

......

Just like when he first started this journey, due to the special limitation that the railway from Jincheng to Xiyu Province is a single-track line, He Yuzhu had to stop and start at train stations along the way to avoid oncoming trains. Every stop seemed to leave a mark in the long river of time, and He Yuzhu waited and moved forward day after day, and after a long 11 days, he finally took the train to the city of Sijiu, which carries countless stories and memories.

When He Yuzhu walked out of the gate of Sijiucheng Railway Station, his eyes were like those of a sharp hawk, quickly scanning the bustling crowd. In a short moment, his eyes were firmly locked on the driver Xiao Zhang standing in the crowd.

Almost at the same moment when He Yuzhu saw Xiao Zhang, Xiao Zhang also saw He Yuzhu. Then, Xiao Zhang began to move quickly. He raised his arms high and waved them vigorously at He Yuzhu, while walking towards He Yuzhu with big strides. "Deputy Director He, you are finally back!" Xiao Zhang stretched out his hand to take the luggage from He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu handed the heavy luggage to Xiao Zhang, with a friendly smile on his face, and said slowly: "Xiao Zhang, oh, it's been a long time since we last met. How have you been during this period? Have you encountered any interesting things or difficult problems?"

Xiao Zhang also smiled innocently and replied, "As for me, I am still the same as always, working step by step every day. But you, Deputy Director He, look a lot more mature than before. Did you suffer a lot in the Western Region Province?"

After hearing this, He Yuzhu sighed softly, touched his slightly rough cheek, and smiled helplessly: "Haha, there's nothing I can do. The climate over there in Western Region Province is indeed relatively dry, and the wind and sand are strong. If people stay there for a long time, they will inevitably become more vicissitudes of life. By the way, how long have you been waiting for me here?" As he said that, he took a step forward and followed Xiao Zhang towards the car of the Red Star Steel Plant.

Xiao Zhang turned around and replied, "It hasn't been long, just about half an hour. I thought you would be back soon, so I've been waiting here. Deputy Director He, do you think we should go to the factory to handle some business first, or should I take you home first?"

He Yuzhu said with a smile: "Xiao Zhang, I'd better go home first. I haven't been home for more than a month. I have to go home to take a good look at my wife and children. I will go to the factory when I go to work tomorrow."

After listening to He Yuzhu's words, Xiao Zhang scratched his head in embarrassment and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Deputy Director He, I was just thinking about working in the factory and forgot that you were away on business for so long."

He Yuzhu waved his hand and said gently: "It's okay, Xiao Zhang, let's drive quickly, I can't wait to go home to see my children and wife!" The car started slowly and drove He Yuzhu towards home. The scenery along the way seemed to become particularly beautiful in his eyes, and his heart was full of thoughts and expectations for his family...
