Siheyuan: Why are you all here to see me?

By the end of January, Li Gang's cellar had already contained 71 wild boars, 59 goats, roe deer, and at least to pheasants, which was basically enough meat. Li Gang was very tired these days, but he insisted on showing off and promising so much meat to several families. He was the one who suffered. Fortunately, at least in these last few days, Li Gang would not have to endure the cold. Director Hu's jeep was delivered, and it was in good condition. It looked % new, just like the Eagle Sauce military jeep in the video. Tomorrow is the Little New Year. was the first year of the disaster. Li Gang planned to stockpile more supplies. He had rice, flour, oil, and vegetables. He only needed to stockpile some daily necessities, and store more cornmeal, so that his relatives in the countryside would not starve.

After breakfast, Li Gang drove his jeep to the steel mill. His brother-in-law said that the vegetables could be harvested. Li Huaide had already taken them several times without permission.

At the gate of the steel rolling mill, the person on duty saw the jeep and thought a leader had arrived. When he saw that the person getting off was Li Gang, he let him pass. He was surprised that this person was driving a jeep. Although he was young, he heard that the New Year benefits of the whole factory were depending on him. He also heard that the vegetable greenhouses behind the factory were prepared for the factory, but outsiders were not allowed to enter.

Logistics Li Huaide's Office "Oh, you're here. I knew you had been in the mountains, so I didn't dare disturb you. The vegetables in this greenhouse are fresh and delicious. I sent some to my father-in-law, and he praised them highly. Hahaha, Li Si, our greenhouse is a success."

Li Gang looked down on our greenhouse, but it is really ours.

Li Gang: "They are not ripe yet. You go and get some vegetables. If you get some today and the leader also gets some tomorrow, how many vegetables will be left?"

Li Huaide: "I took the ones that grew first. I asked your brother-in-law, and he said that the ones that grew first weighed several hundred kilograms every day. Except for a few leaders who got some first, they are all waiting for you, the leader, to give the order! Hahahaha"

Li Gang "What kind of leader am I? Okay, we can harvest now. There will be a supply of vegetables in the future. It's not just one crop. Do you think we should distribute it now or not? These vegetables can't be stored for too long."

Li Huaide clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's organize people to pick vegetables now."

Li Gang looked at Li Huaide without saying anything. Li Huaide asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Didn't you say we can pick them now?"

Li Gang: "Director Li, I want to remind you of two words (political achievements)"

Li Huaide slapped his forehead and suddenly realized, "I was so happy that I forgot about it. I'll call you later."

Ten minutes later, Li Huaide said, "I'm going to report to the factory director right away. A leader from the department will come to inspect in the afternoon. I won't care about you anymore." Then he hurried out of the office.

Li Gang: This is to curry favor with the leader. Li Gang went to the greenhouse to have a look. The plants are growing well. The lake water has a good effect. The proportion is just right. On average, it will produce 3,000 kilograms. Take tomatoes for example. One of them weighs 7 or 8 kilograms and is bent.

Just after 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Director Yang Li Huaide and several factory leaders accompanied an old man to the greenhouse. Li Huaide asked Li Gang to take them to have a look.

Li Gang had no choice but to lead the old man, Director Yang, and others into the greenhouse.

The door curtain was opened first, and inside was a sea of ​​green. All the plants were leeks. The old man kept smiling and said to Director Yang, "Not bad, they are growing well. Your steel mill has done a good job with this greenhouse. The steel mill is self-reliant, not waiting, not wanting, this spirit is worthy of praise, your steel mill has capable people."

Li Huaide interjected at the right time, "The person in charge of this greenhouse was appointed by Comrade Li Gang."

The old man said, "Oh, you are very young, how did you come up with the idea of ​​building this greenhouse?"

Li Gang had no choice but to answer, "I said I was greedy, do you believe me, leader?"

The old man was puzzled, and so were the others. What the hell was this?

Li Gang: "It's like this. There's nothing else to eat in the winter except radishes and cabbages. I'm a greedy person, so I want to eat some vegetables, but there are none in the market. I wondered if I could grow some vegetables in the winter, so I tried to do one in my own yard. The result was pretty good, but who would have thought that Director Li, after accidentally finding out about it, would come to me every day and complain about how hard it was for the workers, how they ate radishes and cabbages every day, and how the food was too monotonous. He was powerless, so he just wanted me to build a few greenhouses for him, right? There was no way I could get him to build these greenhouses if I didn't agree. Fortunately, Director Li was very supportive of my work and all the materials and supplies, and never delayed anything. That's how we have today's gratifying results."

Li Huaide was so happy. Li Si's words, which seemed to be disgusted and annoyed, were actually a disguised way of taking credit for Li Huaide. They were so powerful. They were much better than those official ways of praising. Didn't you hear me? I, Li Huaide, was thinking about my fellow workers. If I, Li Huaide, hadn't coaxed them into planting greenhouses for you, would they have come to grow greenhouses for you? There was also strong support in the form of materials. This disguised way of praising people was great.

Li Huaide was happy, but Director Yang was not. What was this guy saying? Director Li was clinging to me, and the workers were suffering. Who could not hear that he was praising Li Huaide? What about us? If I didn't agree, would you have been appointed as the deputy director? It turned out that we had no credit at all, and all the credit went to Li Huaide alone.

Li Gang hadn't finished speaking yet. He would not offend the leaders like Director Yang, and only flatter Li Huaide. He had to be smooth in his work and conduct. He had many relatives in the steel mill.

Li Gang continued, "Director Yang and the factory leaders saw that I was short of staff and held a special meeting to propose adding more staff to me. The leaders of the factory were very supportive and sent me staff one after another. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to continue."

Director Yang and the factory leaders were happy. This guy is not bad. Listen, we held a special meeting to support your work. We also have contributions.

Li Gang: "You have only seen leeks now. Come with me and see other things that are better than this."

The old man readily agreed. As soon as he entered the cucumber greenhouse, he saw cucumber racks full of cucumbers. Li Gang picked a few cucumbers and handed them to the old man, "Would you like to try them? They are delicious."

The old man smiled, and was very impressed by Li Gang's simple character. As a result, the secretary next to him handed over a handkerchief. The old man didn't use it, but just wiped it casually with his hand, and began to bite. Crunch, crunch, the cucumber entered his mouth.

The old man said, "You guys try it too, it tastes great, crunchy and delicious." The others didn't wipe it either, and followed the old man's example and started eating. Li Gang was not bragging, it was indeed better than ordinary cucumbers. They went to visit greenhouses of tomatoes, peppers, celery, eggplant, spinach, zucchini, etc. The old man was very kind and praised the greenhouses and the steel mill. This old man couldn't be called an old man, he was only about 50 years old. He was the big leader in the original drama, but Li Gang didn't remember him yet.

The big boss suggested going to the meeting room and asked Li Gang to go as well. Li Gang called his brother-in-law over and asked him to pick some vegetables quickly, pick three to five kilograms of each, and then pack one or two kilograms. After picking, go downstairs in the office and wait.

The senior leader in the conference room said, "Your greenhouse is well built. It is not only self-reliant, but also creates a new material channel for the industry. Think about it, this is just your steel rolling mill. If other factories, even factories across the country, are bigger, and even the people across the country vigorously develop greenhouses in winter, how much employment, food, nutrition, and food and clothing can be solved? How many people can be fed? To exaggerate, this will benefit future generations and benefit the present."

Li Gang: Am I that great? It is Mr. Yuan who is great. I just have a shabby greenhouse. The leader really didn’t exaggerate. Nowadays, the common people still have not solved the problem of food and clothing. In winter, the vegetables are even more limited. If this greenhouse is really promoted, it will benefit future generations. Haven’t you seen that in the future, vegetables will continue to grow in winter. Isn’t this a benefit for future generations?

The senior leader said, "Your steel mill has given me such a big surprise. I will report this to the ministry and even to the inner circle. I will also hold a meeting to discuss it when I get back. Comrade, you are a hero. The whole country should thank you."

Li Gang panicked: He was just a time traveler, thinking only about how to make money and date celebrities, but never thought about any heroes.

Li Gang: "Big boss, I'm not as great as you say. I just think the food in winter is too monotonous and I'm greedy, so I built a greenhouse like this."

The leader laughed loudly, and everyone else laughed too.

The big boss said, "You are greedy, it's wonderful. If you are not greedy, where would greenhouse vegetables come from? So, all inventions are related to laziness and greed. If you are not lazy, there will be no bicycles and cars, it's because you are afraid of walking too much. If you are not greedy, where would the profession of chef come from? Where would the ingredients such as soy sauce, vinegar and soybean oil come from?" Everyone thought about it and realized that this is indeed the truth.

"Director Yang, you need to prepare the materials. Maybe a higher leader will look at them. Comrade, you are the main force. You are most familiar with this greenhouse. You may have a heavier burden on you. You must be mentally prepared."

Li Gang: "Ah, big boss, I am only 15 years old, and I will be 16 after the Chinese New Year. You can't exploit child labor."

The leader was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Hahaha, hahaha", and everyone else laughed too.

The big leader said, "Look, this boy is so honest. He is our people. Don't worry, you won't get into trouble."

Li Gang: "Well, don't make it too big. I can't stand any more (vegetable basket) projects."

The big boss suddenly asked in a serious tone, "What did you say? Say it again."

Li Gang was shocked. How come this old man was just like Li Yunlong, his expression changed at any time?

But I still replied, "Uh, uh, I said don't make it too big, I can't stand it."

The big leader said, "No, it's not this sentence."

Li Gang: "I told you not to start any more vegetable basket projects. I can't stand it."

The big leader laughed and clapped his hands, saying, "That's it. This is a good name. It's the vegetable basket. Yes, it is to solve the problem of people having difficulty getting vegetables in winter. The vegetable basket has no fresh vegetables. Good, good, good. Young people have quick brains. Xiao Yang, this kid is a talent. You should absorb him into your steel rolling mill. Don't be hesitant because of his young age. Many of our leading cadres are regiment commanders or even division commanders at his age."

Li Huaide interrupted again and said, "Leader, his name is Li Gang, he is the son of our steel mill, his father was the former deputy chief of the security department, he died in the line of duty and was named a martyr."

The leader said, "I didn't expect you to be a martyr. Not bad, not bad. You didn't bring shame to your father."
