Rebirth 1955 starts from the hunter

Chapter 181 The deaf old lady dies

New Year's Day, the first day of 1959, this year is also the tenth anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The weather is getting increasingly damp and cold, and the chill that penetrates into the bones makes this Spring Festival very dull.

After Lin Dong went to the ancestral hall to pay homage, he took Lou Xiao'e to visit the elders in the village to wish them a happy new year and give them Spring Festival gifts.

We had lunch at my uncle's house, and my second uncle and aunt were also there.

Feeling that the elders were in a bad mood, Lin Dong felt a little embarrassed, so he made an exception and had a few drinks with them.

Because the two sons of the eldest uncle's family, their daughters-in-law and grandson, and the eldest son and daughter-in-law of the second uncle's family were all sent to Hong Kong by Lin Dong.

Of course, Lin Dong did not force anyone, it was all voluntary.

For their safety, Lin Dong has spent a lot of money on medicinal food in the past few years, and he contributed the first half of the skills he obtained in the cave to the Lin family.

As for the second half, it depends on talent and merit, and all are treated equally.

Time gradually came to March. As the saying goes, spring rain is as precious as oil, but this year not a drop of rain fell.

The weather in the north changed from wet and cold to dry and cold without any warning.

Holding the newspaper in his hand, Lin Dong fell into deep thought when he saw the Tibetan rebellion war had begun.

It was the tenth anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and Tibet had been peacefully liberated for nine years. I am afraid that future generations would never have imagined that in 1959 Tibet was still a serfdom system with a combination of politics and religion.

The five percent of monks and nobles deprived the peasants of their rights.

When a child is born, he or she must pay a poll tax, wool tax, mutton tax, etc.

Various exorbitant taxes and levies have made it difficult for millions of Tibetan people to breathe.

This rebellion was started because the nobles were afraid of losing their privileges, and were instigated by foreign forces and provided with weapons and equipment.

Lin Dong knew that they would not be able to remain rampant for long before the Tibetan people would be truly liberated.

We also saw that every day tens of thousands of people brought their own dry food and clean water to volunteer to participate in the construction of the Great Hall of the People.

Looking at the black and white photos in the newspaper, which showed the volunteers’ sincere smiles, Lin Dong’s hands were shaking as he held the newspaper.

"Xiao Tao, come here for a moment."

Lin Tao, fourteen years old, is Lin Dong’s cousin and the fifteenth child. He has just started to show his strength recently and will go to Hong Kong with Lin Dong at the end of this month.

Lin Dong wanted him to go to Hong Kong to study, not to work.

Lin Dong tries his best to let these blood-related relatives learn as much as possible so that they can have a bright future.

"Brother Nine, please tell me what I need."

"Go and inform Shuisheng to donate 100,000 wool sweaters, 100,000 towels, and 500,000 pairs of socks to the troops in Tibet in the name of the textile factory."

"We must make it clear that the quality must be of the highest standard. If anyone makes a mistake, I will send him to mine in Africa."

"Also, have Chunhualou close tomorrow and have all the chefs and kitchen helpers go to the Great Hall of the People construction site to cook."

"We donated five tons of pork in the name of the meat processing plant and provided a dish for all the workers to ensure that everyone can eat."

"If there are not enough people to cook, ask the meat processing factory to provide help."

"Brother Jiu, are they all in the name of the factory? Without mentioning your name?"

"Tell Shuisheng that I will provide the products and give the reputation to the factory. My name, Lin Dong, is not allowed to appear in the newspapers."

"Oh! I'll do it right away. Brother Jiu, can you teach me? Why is this?"

"Because the common people don't need to know who it is, it's enough for the people above to know, so go ahead!"

If it is done in the name of Lin Dong or Lou family, the government will not allow it because it does not comply with the policy.

The factory belongs to the state, it's a public-to-public relationship and no one can find fault with it.

The leaders above will definitely know that it was Lin Dong who came up with this. Doesn’t this reflect his patriotism?

Judging by actions rather than intentions, no one is perfect. Although Lin Dong was suspected of flattery, he did pay real money, and no one can say that he did anything wrong.

In the past few months, the cooperation with the Third Steel Rolling Mill has been very harmonious, and now an independent workshop has been opened for cutting edge processing.

Even though nail clippers are just small items, the profit margin is not low. Moreover, they are daily necessities in the household, so the sales volume is naturally high.

There are currently nine styles of wooden-handled nail clippers, divided into nine grades, with a wide range of prices.

No matter which one, it is more beautiful and refined than nail clippers produced in Western countries.

The 19 production lines of the Xiangjiang factory have started working in three shifts and implemented a 24-hour work system because orders have been scheduled until July.

This is why the markets in most countries have not yet been opened.

Hong Kong produces about 1 million finished nail clippers every day, with the factory price ranging from HK$50 to HK$.

The price is determined by the wood of the handle and the steel of the blade.

Those made of bamboo are naturally the cheapest, while those made of boxwood are slightly more expensive.

Hainan huanghuali, Burmese rosewood, Southeast Asian red rosewood, ebony, wenge, golden nanmu and other high-end handles are all produced, and the prices vary greatly.

The total turnover in February was HK$60 million, which means that the daily revenue was approximately HK$2 million.

Excluding materials, labor, transportation, tariffs, etc., the net profit in February reached HK$25 million.

Having experienced two lives, Lin Dong naturally pays great attention to quality. Even if it is a bamboo nail clipper, as long as it is not damaged intentionally, there will be no problem in using it for three or four years.

Three models of nail clippers were also produced in China, the cheapest one costing 28 cents and the most expensive one 60 cents, but this had nothing to do with Lin Dong.

The prerequisite for cooperation with the government is the clause of free licensing.

Lin Dong had just returned home from the militia training ground when Lin Tao chased after him.

"Brother Jiu, the matter has been passed down. The projectionist just sent someone to bring a message."

"Someone said that the deaf old lady in the courtyard had passed away. The funeral will be held tomorrow. Do you want to go back?"

Hearing Lin Tao's words, Lin Dong looked dazed for a moment. He couldn't remember when the deaf old lady in the TV series died.

I only remember that when Xu Damao was the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee, she was still alive and well.

It is only 59 years now, which means that due to the flapping of Lin Dong's little wings, the deaf old lady has lived almost ten years less.

"What happened to Lin Dong?"

"Ah! It's nothing. An old lady in the courtyard passed away."

Lou Xiao'e's voice brought Lin Dong back to his senses.

"Then do you want to go back and take a look?"

"This old lady is a lonely widower, and I don't know who is handling her funeral. I will go back early tomorrow morning to see if there is anything I can do to help."

Thinking about the TV series, it should be He Yuzhu who dressed her in mourning, and Yi Zhonghai who took care of it.

It is impossible for He Yuzhu to do this now. Not sure whether Yi Zhonghai would care, Lin Dong decided to go back tomorrow to check.

"I want to go out for a walk too. How about I go with you?"

"My dear little E, although you are stable now, it's a funeral, how unlucky! I will be back before lunch."

"That's right! Then you have to accompany me to the river to fish now."

"You can only fish for an hour. It's not good for the children to sit for too long."

"Lin Dong, you don't love me anymore. You just think about the child all day long and don't care about my feelings at all."

"Stop talking nonsense. We are truly in love. The child is just an accident. When he is born, we will leave him to mom to raise, and we will continue to live our life as a couple."

"You dare? I want to raise it myself."
