Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

At this joyful gathering, everyone forgot all their worries and immersed themselves in the atmosphere of food and joy.

Laughter and conversation filled the room.

Everyone shares the little interesting things in their lives, allowing each other to get to know each other better.

This warm atmosphere makes people feel extremely happy, as if time has stopped.

The party lasted for a long time until night fell, when everyone ended it with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

Considering that it was getting late and Zhou Jin and the others didn't come here by bike, for everyone's safety, everyone decided to rest at Lou's house tonight. After all, there were many rooms in the Lou mansion and there was no problem of not having enough room.

At the same time, Zhou Jin and the others had to go to work tomorrow, so everyone didn’t have a very good time tonight. At about eleven o’clock, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

The next morning, Zhou Jin got up early. He was the only one in the family who needed to go to work. He felt very sad.

Today is the first day of work after the Chinese New Year in 1960. In the morning, all the cadres above the deputy section level in the factory have to hold a meeting together, and then a factory-wide meeting has to be held, so Zhou Jin must go to the factory today.

So Zhou Jin put on his clothes quietly, walked out of the bedroom, went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, and signed in for today.

Because he didn't know when the others would wake up, and in order not to disturb their sweet dreams, Zhou Jin made breakfast and ate it first, then washed the dishes and went to work.

Fortunately, the Lou family still has a bicycle that Lou Xiao'e used to ride, otherwise Zhou Jin would have to walk to work.

After arriving at the steel mill, Zhou Jin saw that it was still early, so he went straight back to the office to chat with Zhang Li and the others.

In the past two years, because of the extra New Year's goods distributed by Zhou Jin, the people in Purchasing Group 3 had a very comfortable Spring Festival, at least better than most people, so everyone has more and more respect for Zhou Jin, the young leader.

Zhou Jin chatted with them for about 10 to 20 minutes, then looked at his watch. Seeing that it was almost time, he took his notebook and went to the conference room. Of course, he just took the notebook for show.

As the saying goes, "Have small meetings for big things, big meetings for small things, and no meetings for important things."

I guess today's meeting is just to review the past, focus on the present, look forward to the future, and then give everyone some encouragement.

These have little to do with me. I am from the purchasing department, not the production workshop. As long as the material problem is solved, everything else has nothing to do with me.

When Zhou Jin walked quickly into the large conference room, he found that it was already full of people.

He hurriedly found his seat and sat down, then began to sneak around.

Before long, the podium above was filled with people. Then, leaders from the factory took turns to give speeches, and each of them spoke for more than ten minutes.

Zhou Jin, who was sitting below, listened to their endless speeches and couldn't help feeling sleepy and yawning.

The entire conference lasted for about an hour, but Zhou Jin didn't remember a single word of what was said at the meeting.

The only thing that left an impression on him was Director Qian's passionate and emotional speech on the stage, with saliva constantly spitting from his mouth.

However, Zhou Jin guessed that Director Qian probably just said some words to boost morale.

You know, last year in such a difficult environment, it was already very good for other factories to complete two-thirds of their tasks, but the steel rolling mill actually successfully completed its production tasks.

In response, the leaders of the Ministry of Industry praised Director Qian and Deputy Director Li highly and praised them lavishly, which made the two directors the center of attention in front of the leaders of the ministry.

If they can continue to maintain this good momentum, I believe that the two powerful factory managers will be able to move up to a higher level in the future, and promotion and salary increase will naturally be a piece of cake.

Of course, Director Qian had picked up a big bargain. After all, when he came, the production task of the steel rolling mill had been completed by nearly 80% under the leadership of Director Yang. In addition, with Zhou Jin's sufficient food supply, as long as he did not short-circuit his brain and followed the procedures, he would definitely be able to complete the task.

From this, it can be seen that the power behind Director Qian should not be underestimated. After all, the people in the ministries and commissions must know about the situation of the steel mill.

Moreover, Li Huaide and his father-in-law had made arrangements in advance. Even so, it was not difficult to judge that he could still snatch the position from Li Huaide and make Li Huaide and his father-in-law swallow their anger.

In the large conference room of the steel rolling mill, Director Qian was in high spirits on the stage. He stood straight, his eyes revealing determination and courage.

He waved his arms and spoke passionately, as if he was a general commanding thousands of troops, preparing to lead all the factory workers to work hard.

That look, full of fighting spirit and determination, can't help but inspire people.

However, Director Qian would not have thought at this time that Longguo’s food problem this year was even more serious than last year, and it could even be said to be the most difficult year in the three years of natural disasters.

Last year was the first year of the food crisis. At that time, Longguo still had grain reserves from previous years. Although people lived a hard life, at least they did not starve.

However, the situation this year has become worse. Natural disasters still exist and are becoming more and more severe.

In addition to drought, floods, typhoons, frost and other disasters have hit this land one after another, making the already fragile agricultural production even worse.

Last year, my country's grain output was about 1958 tons, a decrease of 3000 million tons compared with tons in .

Food production has decreased, and people have almost eaten up their stored food, resulting in an even greater food gap across the country this year.

The people looked at the empty rice jars in their kitchens, their hearts filled with worry and anxiety.

At the same time, Western forces have been chasing and blocking Longguo.

They tried every possible means to cut off Longguo's channel for importing grain from abroad.

At this difficult time, Longguo seemed to be isolated in a corner of the world, struggling to take every step.

Apart from actively saving itself, Longguo is basically unable to obtain food from abroad.

As for the big brother Russia, it has to rely on imports for its own food, so it is even more impossible for it to support Longguo. At the same time, they have reduced their aid to Longguo.

Under this severe situation, Longguo’s food problem this year has become the most important issue throughout the country.

Zhou Jin sat in the corner of the conference room, quietly looking at Director Qian on the stage, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

He knew how things would turn out. As a Dragon citizen, he certainly hoped to help the country solve its problems.

It would be fine if I didn't have that ability, but since I have this ability now, although I can't save the lives of the people across the country, I can guarantee that every life counts.
