Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

The senior leader also saw the dilemma faced by Director Yang, so he said soothingly: "Xiao Yang, we are not going to transfer Xiao Li away. He will return to the steel mill after completing his mission."

"Also, the steel mill has made great contributions in this matter. The superiors will hold a meeting to study your contributions later."

Now all the leaders of the steel mill smiled. The top leader looked at Li Tianyi and said, "Xiao Li, you will have to work hard for a while."

"Commander, it's okay. I will sort out the machine tool drawings of the steel rolling mill later. The superiors can send the drawings to the factories that use the same machine tools as the steel rolling mill. They can only want to modify it themselves, which will shorten the time."

"And I will also lead the technicians from other factories to upgrade and try to train them all."

"Well done, Xiao Li. You are not shy about your skills and strive for perfection in your work. Just go ahead and do it boldly. The organization supports you."

The top leader was very happy to receive Li Tianyi's guarantee, and the directors of other factories were also smiling. If Li Tianyi could help train technicians, their factories would also benefit.

Just as they were visiting the steel mill, the engineer who recorded the data came to report to the leader with the data. The leader was excited when he looked at the data in his hand. Recently, there was a conflict between Xinhua Country and the big brother, and the country had fallen into difficulties. Now they can upgrade the machines and support the production of other factories. This time the steel mill is really going to be famous.

The accompanying reporters are also recording this scene, and this incident will be widely publicized in tomorrow's newspapers.

Soon it was noon, and Director Yang took people to the private room. Sha Zhu was already cooking. At the dinner table, the big boss asked Li Tianyi about his future plans.

"Commander, when I was in school, I studied the tractors of Big Brother. I found that this tractor is bulky and consumes a lot of fuel. Although it is powerful and suitable for large farms, it is not suitable for our North China Plain and the hilly areas in the south."

"I have developed a small tractor. Although it has less power than a large tractor, it is suitable for our rural friends and its price is lower than that of the big tractor."

"I will submit the application report in a few days, and then I want the steel mill to make the parts first, so that I can continue to work in other factories."

After listening to Li Tianyi's work plan, everyone in the room fell silent. No one had expected that he would launch such a large satellite. If this tractor was successfully researched, it would be of great help to rural construction.

"Xiao Li, just go ahead and do it. You can apply for money or materials from the Ministry. I'm waiting for your application."

"Thank you for the support from the leaders. I will definitely work harder to contribute to the development of our country."

The meal was a great success. After the leader's car left, Director Yang held a meeting. At the meeting, he discussed the rewards for the technical department and Li Tianyi. In the technical department, each technician was rewarded 50 yuan, Section Chief Zhang was rewarded 200 yuan and a bicycle ticket, and Li Tianyi was rewarded 300 yuan, a bicycle ticket, and a sewing machine ticket.

This time, all votes were in favor, because this matter would benefit them all. At the same time, the expansion of the steel mill was also confirmed. Although 5 machines in the warehouse were transferred by the Ministry of Industry, the remaining 10 machines could still be used to expand two workshops.

This would require recruiting 1000 people, and when it came to Li Tianyi, he still got 3 places.

Afterwards, Director Yang arranged for people to clean up the warehouse and use it as a new workshop. After the meeting, Li Tianyi began to sort out the drawings of the machines. Of course, he had already been doing these things, but he was worried that his superiors would need them.

The steel mill also announced the rewards for technical departments on the radio.

"Attention, workers. Now a notice is being played: After research by the factory committee, in view of the great contributions made by all technicians in the technical department and Comrade Li Tianyi to the comprehensive upgrade of the rolling mill's machinery, the factory committee has approved: rewarding all technicians 50 yuan each; rewarding Section Chief Zhang 200 yuan and a bicycle ticket; rewarding Comrade Li Tianyi 300 yuan, a bicycle ticket, and a sewing machine ticket. I hope that the majority of workers will learn from them, not afraid of hardship, not afraid of fatigue, and use their spirit of experimentation and reform and innovation."

This was broadcast three times and everyone in the factory heard it. Others were fine, but everyone in the courtyard was extremely jealous.

Especially those who were about the same age as Li Tianyi, they hated him to the core, but they couldn't do anything about Li Tianyi.

But Li's parents were grinning from ear to ear, and their colleagues congratulated them, and even asked if Li Tianyi had a girlfriend, saying they wanted to introduce him to one.

Li's mother quickly said that she was already engaged and would get married after the Chinese New Year next year. This made these people secretly regret not finding this good son-in-law candidate earlier.

Of course there was another person who was particularly happy, and that was Li Huaide. His father-in-law told him last night that if the steel mill was really successful this time, one of the deputy directors would be transferred. If he worked hard, and his superiors took the relationship between Li Tianyi and Li Huaide into consideration, he would have a great chance of being promoted.

If he had followed normal procedures, he would have had to stay in this position for at least three years if he wanted to become the deputy factory director. Unexpectedly, he took advantage of his nephew and got the position ahead of time.

At the same time, his father-in-law also told him to maintain good relations with his brother's family, as his nephew had a bright future.

Today, his father-in-law's words were proven true; the tractor plan proposed by his nephew was appreciated by the leadership.

When they got off work in the afternoon, Mr. Li rode his bicycles as fast as he could with his mother, wanting to go home quickly to tell his second son and youngest daughter the good news.

Now they are all on summer vacation, and they basically read books at home during the day. Hu Zi is not as naughty as he was when he was a child. He knows the importance of books. And since he went to technical secondary school, he may be influenced by the learning atmosphere there, and he knows to read books when he goes home.

In two years, he will graduate from technical secondary school. As long as he passes the electrician test, I believe it will not be a problem for him to enter the steel rolling mill.

Before leaving get off work, Li Huaide approached Li Tianyi and wanted to invite Li Tianyi's family to get together on Sunday. Li Tianyi agreed, of course, and Li Huaide even specifically asked Li Tianyi to bring his wife over, which made Li Tianyi a little embarrassed.

After returning home, Li Tianyi told his father about this matter. His father had no objection, and Li Tianyi rode his bicycle to Grandpa Shen's house.

Xiaoxue had already gotten off work at this time. When Xiaoxue's aunt saw Li Tianyi coming, she hurriedly greeted Xiaoxue.

Then they started to prepare dinner, but Li Tianyi quickly declined, saying that he had something else to do later and that he came today just to tell Xiaoxue about the gathering on Sunday.
