Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

"This Zhang Zhiling has thought of all kinds of methods. It seems that it is difficult to get food. Let's go. Zhang Zhiling will definitely not come back," Secretary Liu said to the comrades around him.

"Leader, can we contact a few factories? Ask them to support other villages in our commune," asked the comrade who came with Secretary Liu.

"No problem. I'll leave this matter to you. Do a good job, Xiao Zhao. I'll contact the county and recommend you for honor." Secretary Liu patted Xiao Zhao on the shoulder and got on his bicycle.

"Leader, I will work hard." Xiao Zhao was praised by the leader and entrusted with an important task. He was very happy.

"Fourth Uncle, you run too fast." Zhang Dayou caught up with Zhang Zhiling.

"If I can't run fast, can I still keep the food? What's going on?" Zhang Zhiling looked back and saw that no one was following him, so he stopped.

"There are still people who dare to steal food. I can't kill him," said Zhang Dayou.

"You should go quickly. One is Secretary Liu of the commune, and the other is Xiao Zhao, the commune's communicator. You should bring some stuff with you," Zhang Zhiling said unhappily.

"Forget it, who dares to hit the commune secretary? Fourth uncle, I want to ask about the water in the mountains. We don't have enough manpower now, how about sending a few boys to inspect?" Zhang Dayou said.

"Any young boy will do. Choose a leader. The weather is getting cold. It will take three to five days to finish the work in the fields and prepare to build the road," said Zhang Zhiling.

"Okay, Fourth Uncle, do you think it's okay for Dacheng to lead the group?" Zhang Dayou said.

"He is even lazier than you. Can't you choose a serious person and let Shouyong lead the team? He is mature," Zhang Zhiling said unhappily.

"Shou Yongxing, Fourth Uncle, what do you think these people do in the city? Can they have enough to eat?" Zhang Dayue asked again.

"Get out of here. You'll know when your Shouying comes back and ask him. You're just talking nonsense. How should I know? I'm not in the city," Zhang Zhiling cursed.

The fifty people in Zhangjia Village, forty men and ten women, are all healthy people. It is basically guaranteed that all Zhangjia Village villagers have at least one laborer in each household to go to the city to earn money. Now it is the end of October in the Gregorian calendar, and there are more than 100 days until the Spring Festival. At 60 cents a day, one person can earn 60 yuan. In the village, the whole family can't make 60 yuan in a year. Who doesn't want to go to the city? What's more, they provide three meals a day?

The leader of the team of fifty people in the village was Zhang Daliu, who was Zhang Dabao's cousin. With this relationship, he had some face in the factory and could easily talk about anything.

These people were taken to the steel mill by large trucks in the morning and had a big pot meal in the workshop cafeteria at noon. Everyone enjoyed the first meal. Each person had two steamed buns made of two grams of flour. If that was not enough, they could get two more corn breads. The dishes contained oil and salt, and occasionally a little meat. They were many times better than the wild vegetable corn breads in the village. Everyone was very full at the first meal.

Then he arranged for accommodation and went to various workshops to work as an auxiliary worker. After an afternoon, no one felt tired. It was much better than working in the village. Everyone thought that being a worker was still a good thing.

In the evening, Zhang Daliu gave a talk to everyone, asking them to cherish the opportunity and work hard. If anyone affected the reputation of the village due to poor work, the village would definitely deal with it seriously. He also explained the rules to everyone.

On the morning of the third day after everyone from Zhangjia Village arrived in the village, Deputy Minister Shi Kejun of the Ministry of Machinery Industry came to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and convened a meeting of middle-level and above cadres, at which he announced relevant personnel appointment and removal news.

"Comrades, after research and decision by the ministry and committee, Comrade Yang Weihua will be the director of the Metallurgical Bureau; Comrade Li Huaide will be the director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill; Comrade Wang Cheng will be the first deputy director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill; Comrade Yuan Hua will be the chief engineer of the steel rolling mill; and Comrade Xu Sinian will be the chairman of the trade union." Minister Shi Kejun finished reading the appointment and removal notice.

Afterwards, Yang Weihua gave a report to everyone, recalled his work at the steel mill, expressed his gratitude to the leaders for their trust, wished his colleagues well, and spoke highly of the new leadership team of the steel mill headed by Li Huaide. He believed that this was a united team, a hardworking team, and a progressive team, and he hoped that the steel mill would go further under their leadership.

As the new factory director, Li Huaide made a statement to the conference. He first spoke highly of the achievements made by Factory Director Yang Weihua for the steel rolling mill. Now that the old factory director has taken on a more important job, he hopes that the old factory director can always pay attention to the steel rolling mill and provide guidance for its development. He also proposed a plan for the next step of the factory's work, which is to build a large foreign trade export factory, actively move closer to the international market, introduce advanced equipment, and make progress in both domestic and foreign trade, etc.

The newly transferred chief engineer Yuan Hua and the newly appointed union chairman Xu Sinian also expressed their opinions, saying that they would create greater glories under the leadership of factory director Li Huaide.

The personnel changes in the factory did not cause much commotion among the workers. It seemed that this was how it should be. After all, who was the factory director had nothing to do with them. They were too far away from the factory leaders.

The workers continued to produce. The only person who was dissatisfied with this personnel change was probably Liu Haizhong. After the personnel appointment and dismissal news was announced in the morning, he faced pressure from both the workshop and the logistics department's sanitation team in the afternoon. Director Li of the workshop yelled at Liu Haizhong for a drop of feces on the floor of the toilet. He scolded him for fifteen minutes until the onlookers surrounded the toilet door and prevented people from coming in. Only then did he let Liu Haizhong go. Captain Fu of the sanitation team also ruthlessly insulted Liu Haizhong because his mop smelled of urine, and he did so in front of all the sanitation and cleaning staff to embarrass Liu Haizhong.

Li Huaide came to power, and these people were flattering him and suppressing themselves. Liu Haizhong was just stupid, not foolish. As soon as he heard the news that Li Huaide became the factory director in the morning, he understood that his life might become more difficult in the future. But he never expected that these people could not wait even for a day.

When will this kind of life end? For the first time, Liu Haizhong became anxious about his future. Although he had often been bullied in the past, he thought that as a seventh-level blacksmith, he would not be able to make a living there. If all else fails, he could go to the third-line. It should be okay there.

But when he wrote three applications and all of them were rejected, he was a little discouraged. Fortunately, these people often scolded him at the beginning, but later, they didn't scold him so much. But now it's different. Li Huaide is the factory director. As an old worker in the factory, Liu Haizhong knows that Li Huaide is a smiling tiger and the most cruel person. So after being scolded twice today, he directly became anxious.
