Siheyuan: Why are you all here to see me?

Two days later, the day of the swimming competition arrived. Li Gang brought Wu Qingfeng from the security department and Director Jiang. Director Jiang and the security department were there to maintain order.

Li Gang, Minister Yu, Factory Director Zhou, Director Xing, and Li Huaide have also come to join in the fun, so let's add Li Huaide to the referee group.

At 10 a.m., the competition began. The competition adopted the method of swimming back and forth. The first one to reach the shore was the first, and then in order. Li Gang arranged for the factory's fishing team to drive two boats 300 meters away, park them, and pull a rope.

The contestants touch the rope and then return. It is that simple.

The surrounding area was full of common people who came to watch the excitement. Some of them even climbed up the trees. It was not easy to watch the excitement these days. Not only the common people, Li Gang also saw Mr. Huang San, who was not far from Li Gang. He did not see Niu Tiansheng and Shi Laosan.

Li Gang waved to Mr. Huang Sanye, who pointed at himself, said something to the security department, and pointed at Li Gang again. Li Gang nodded, and Mr. Huang Sanye quickly ran to Li Gang.

"You come and watch the fun,"

Mr. Huang said, "I am not here to see the excitement. Xiao Liuzi is also there. He is quite good at swimming."

Li Gang was puzzled. "Xiao Liuzi, you don't seem to be a resident of Jiaodaokou!"

Mr. Huang looked at the people around Li Gang and whispered something into Li Gang's ear.

Li Gang understood, okay, these people really have ways, for a place in the competition, they actually spent money to trade privately, to buy the place in Jiaodaokou, there are all kinds of ways, some give money, some give food, and some give cigarettes and alcohol, these people are really smart,

Xiao Liuzi exchanged five catties of corn flour for a spot.

Li Gang "How is Xiao Liuzi's swimming ability?"

Mr. Huang: "Six sons will be in the top ten without any problem. He can stay in the water for one to two minutes without showing his head."

Li Gang: I didn’t know that Xiao Liuzi has this ability.

The race was still going on. Some people were already swimming back, getting closer and closer. There were constant cheers and cheers from all around.

Li Gang also saw it, but he didn't recognize the person in the front. Instead, it was Mr. Huang San, who looked very excited. There was no need to ask, it must be Xiao Liuzi,

But this little six was already in first place after only 20 or 30 meters, how come he just turned around on the spot and was overtaken by others?

After a while, when there were seven or eight people ahead of him, Xiao Liuzi started to exert his strength, but he still managed to stay in the top ten.

Li Gang understood that this little Liuzi was not bad. He knew that he was not a resident of Jiaodaokou and was sensible. He just needed to be in the top ten. Not bad. Li Gang was very satisfied with Xiao Liuzi. He was young, smart, and worldly-wise. He was a good seedling.

The first to arrive was Chen Tianhe from Juer Hutong.

Li Gang promised to travel and fulfilled the rewards one by one. There was thunderous applause all around. Since the food factory was well-known in the whole city, Li Gang's name was also a household name.

As for the rest, Li Gang handed the three hundred people over to Haishan, and took them to familiarize themselves with the place first. When the thousand-ton ship arrived, they would go out to sea. Minister Yu was also building the dock, and Minister Yu said that he would definitely not delay Li Gang's work.

In the courtyard, Yan Fugui was beaming with joy and was very proud. His neighbor asked him what good news he had.

Yan Fugui was so proud that he pulled Yan Jiefang and raised the box he was carrying, saying proudly:

"My Jiefang is very talented. In this swimming competition, Jiefang ranked 300th. Although he was only the last one, he only learned for three days. If Jiefang is given more time, he will definitely be in the top ten. See, this is the reward."

The neighbors congratulated Yan Fugui one after another. Yan Fugui was even more proud. He was just a few steps away from home and shouted to the third aunt to come out and help get the canned food.

Yan Fugui was showing off here, and Chen Tianhe from Juer Hutong was also being watched by people. Yes, they were being watched. Rather than being watched by Chen Tianhe, it would be more like being watched by people watching bicycles.

, a brand new Forever 28-inch bicycle with a big red flower tied to the front, and a word engraved on the beam that Li Gang had someone specially ask someone to engrave (First Place in the Jiaodaokou Swimming Competition) with the date below. This is an honor, even if it is of a civilian nature, but it is still an honor, okay?

Now Chen Tianhe not only won first place and a bicycle, but also got a job. Now there are so many people trying to be a matchmaker that they are almost knocking on the door.

Li Gang did not return to the food factory, but went to Huang Laosan. This time he planned to take Niu Tiansheng and Shi Laosan with him.

Niu Tiansheng, Shi Laosan certainly would not refuse, and readily agreed. Li Gang asked Niu Tiansheng to board the boat and do nothing else but learn how to sail. Niu Tiansheng did not ask, and just did whatever the master asked him to do.

When Qin Huairu returned to the courtyard in the evening, she was talking to Jingru when she saw Li Gang coming back. They both made tea and heated up the meal.

After dinner, Qin Huairu said, "Xiao Si, did you know that the second son of the Third Uncle, Yan Jiefang, also participated in the competition this time, and even won the 300th place? Didn't you see how proud the Third Uncle was? He was so excited, wasn't he just the last place?"

Li Gang was shocked. "What? You said the second son of the Yan family, Yan Jiefang, also went to the competition and came in last place."

Qin Huairu: "Yeah, what's the matter? I've only learned to swim for three days."

Li Gang didn't expect that Yan Laosan was so cruel that he let his son participate in the competition just after he learned to swim. He was not afraid of drowning. However, Yan Jiefang was also very amazing. He got the last place after just three days of learning. This result was already very good. Yan Jiefang was quite talented.

Tonight, Qin Huairu did not go home again, and Li Gang became the groom again. There was no conversation all night.

Ten days later, the food factory held a swearing-in ceremony. Deputy Director Tian, ​​the district representative, Director Zhou, Director Liu, Director Xing, Minister Yu, and everyone who was familiar with Li Gang came.

Minister Yu was in charge of liaison, Director Zhou was in charge of transportation, and Deputy Director Tian was in charge of production at each food factory. Originally, Deputy Director Tian had nothing to do, but Director Xing felt that this might be an opportunity, so he asked Deputy Director Tian to find Li Gang, who was in charge of contacting the major food factories for processing. This was just right.

At nine o'clock, everyone boarded the boat and set off. Now, the big boat came back every three days. After a month, everyone was too tired. Li Gang decided to stop fishing and return.

Li Gang is back from the food factory. After working for a month, he is exhausted. He can finally take a break. According to Director Zhou, he caught about 34,000 tons of fish this time. This catch has solved a big problem.

Director Zhou asked Li Gang to take a few days off first, as the district might hold a commendation meeting.

Siheyuan Li Gang came back, took a hot bath, ate his meal and went to sleep, he didn't have the experience of being a groom,

Yan Jiefang also came back. Father Li was dark-skinned, with some skin peeling off, but he seemed to be stronger.

Yan Fugui simply asked about the fishing situation and then asked

"Didn't they say there was a two-dollar subsidy every day? Xiao Si didn't give me the money."

Yan Jiefang was speechless. I just got home and you asked me about money. You don’t care about me at all.

"We just got back today, so we don't have time to distribute benefits. The factory director asked us to go home and rest for a day, and then we will have a dinner at the food factory the day after tomorrow. Hou will distribute the benefits himself."

Yifenhuo rubbed his hands and said, "Okay, Xiao Si is a man who keeps his word and will not lie. Look, I was the one who taught you to swim when we went fishing this time. If it weren't for my training, you wouldn't have earned so much money. It's not easy for me to support you. Just hand it over this time!"

Yan Jiefang "What, that's sixty yuan, you want all of it, so I'm just a worker, and in the end I have nothing, Dad, please stop calculating, okay? Xiao Si told me on the boat, if you continue to calculate like this, something bad will happen."

Yan Fugui: "What did Xiao Si say to you on the boat?"

"I didn't say anything. We just chatted for a while during the meal break. Dad, please stop calculating. I don't have to give you all the money this time, but I want to move out and live in the dormitory in the future."

Yan Fugui was shocked. "What do you mean you're going to live in a dormitory? What dormitory? What's going on? Tell me quickly."

Yan Jiefang: "The factory director promised to let me work in the food factory in the future. I performed very well this time. Seeing that I performed well, the factory director let me work in the food factory. Dad, just listen to my advice."

Yan Fugui was a little stunned. "Okay, this is a good thing. The food factory is good. The benefits will definitely not be bad in the future. How much money does Xiao Si plan to pay you?"

Yan Jiefang felt helpless. I was talking to you about the calculations, and you were talking to me about the salary. It seems that what the factory director said is right. Dad can change for a while, but not forever. Alas! How about I learn from Guangtian and move out too? The food factory gives us housing.

Yan Jiefang ignored Yan Fugui's question and said, "I've been tired for a month and haven't had a good night's sleep. I'm going to sleep for a while."

Yan Fugui looked at Yan Jiefang and said, "Hey, how much is your salary? This kid is getting cocky."

"After being released for a month, how can he not be tired? Just let him have a rest. We can talk about the work tomorrow."

On May 20th, the food factory held a big dinner

The whole factory was eating the pig-killing meal. Li Gang was called over, Sha Zhu came to help, Director Zhou, Director Liu, Minister Yu, Deputy Director Hu, Director Wang of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, Director Xing of the Street Office, Director Jiang, Director Qi, as well as Yang Weimin, Li Huaide, the tractor factory, the auto repair factory, and even Liu Feng from the machine repair factory were called over.

The dinner was held in a warehouse, and chefs from various factories were sent to help. There were nearly a thousand people and a hundred or so tables.

Everyone was eating with their mouths full of oil. In the small restaurant, there were two tables, one for Li Gang and the other for Xu Damao.

Of course, the people sitting at Li Gang's table are the directors of several large factories.

Director Zhou: "The figures are out. A full 34,700 tons. We are working overtime to produce substitute foods."

Li Gang: "Why are you still making food substitutes? Aren't all these fish enough?"

Minister Yu said, "There are more than 7 million people in the city of 49. How long will it take for you to catch so little?

Director Zhou: "But this time we have really solved a big problem. Some of the products have been distributed to surrounding counties and cities. Li Gang, you are a great contributor. This has saved countless lives. Let us propose that we toast Director Li."

Just as they were about to raise their glasses, they heard shouting from outside. Everyone was shocked, wondering what big thing had happened.
