I am in the courtyard, animals are just vegetables!

In any case, the first batch of molten steel has come out and can be made into ingots, so steelmaking must continue. There are no technical problems with blast furnace steelmaking.

Cao Dongfang would not say anything about these things. He would just do his job well and complete the mining task every day.

More than ten days passed, and on the last day of the month, scrap metal was finally collected on the streets.

Other streets started three days ago. There is not enough iron ore, and we need everyone to support national construction.

Many families are unwilling to hand over scrap metal!

and so--

Director Wang started collecting scrap metal from every household with a gun, 20 kilograms per person. In other streets, it was 30 kilograms, so Director Wang's collection was considered small.

The collection is small and not many people pay it. The key point is that there is none. For example, there are four people in Cao Dongfang's family, which means 80 kilograms.

If you don't prepare in advance, who would have 80 pieces of scrap metal for nothing? There are quite a few in this yard for a family of four or five people.

Director Wang notified us in the evening and asked them to collect scrap iron the next morning. If there was no scrap iron, iron products would be fine.

The streets where steel was made in the old city were collecting scrap iron. Cao Dongfang had prepared everything in advance. He told Yu Shui at night to go to the back house to get it, as there were 100 kilograms of it.

She and Cao Jiajia are too small and the scrap metal is heavy, so the two of them shouldn’t move it!

.......

"Dongfang, thank you. If you hadn't told me, the street would have to use pots to pay for the scrap metal, and this would have caused a lot of trouble." Uncle Jiang said.

"Alas! It's not surprising that the people below do this. They are all doing it for the people above to see. Scrap metal is nothing!

How can we cook without a spatula in a big canteen... Hehe." Cao Dongfang said disapprovingly.

"This is not a small matter. I wonder if ordinary people will be required to hand in scrap metal in a few days.

I bought a total of 200 kilograms of scrap iron, and I paid 180 kilograms at a time. It will be troublesome to pay more later. "Uncle Jiang said.

"Please prepare 50 kilograms of scrap metal per person. I have some and will send it to you tomorrow night."

"There are twenty-one of us and we need a thousand pounds of scrap metal. If you have some, please drive over tomorrow night. We really can't do without preparation!

You are making trouble every day, can we charge the price at the recycling station? "Uncle Jiang has an opinion.

"Sure, that's the price. I heard they wanted more, so if anyone needs it, use it," said Cao Dongfang.

"Okay, tomorrow night!

.......

The collection of scrap metal on the street had nothing to do with Cao Dongfang. After returning home, he heard He Yushui say that the scrap metal had been handed in and the people from the street office helped take it to the gate of the compound.

There is only Grandma Wang's family in this compound. No scrap metal is collected on the street, but my family took the initiative to hand it in, and was praised by Director Wang again.

Meanwhile, on the street, the person who was particularly praised was Chen Xueru, who not only handed in the scrap metal, but also—

Donated 10,000 yuan to the street!

Support the big steel mill on the street!

"I am a little girl, I hardly go out and can't find much scrap metal. I support the country's large-scale steel production, and this money is the dividends from the past few years!

I used some of it for family needs, and the bulk of it is here to reward those who have made great contributions to national construction. "Chen Xueru said to the people in the street office at that time.

Take a look, take a look, this awareness is so good, this is the person who is truly worthy of our learning!

She is raising a child alone, working, and has a positive attitude towards life. She is worthy of being a woman in the new society.

If you can't find extra scrap metal, you can use your own money to reward those who have made great contributions to national construction. Such people should be highly praised.

When we got back to the neighborhood office and talked about it, everyone started praising Chen Xueru for all her good points!

In order to save his two brothers, with whom he did not have a good relationship, he took out 100,000 yuan, which was more than the money in his own shop, and turned the silk shop into a garment shop. He also helped the elderly and widowed people and had his own shop staff.

The first person who supports public-private partnership, she is very cooperative with the manager of the company... She is a very good person, her class background is inherited from her father, and has nothing to do with Chen Xueru...

You say one thing, I say another, Chen Xueru must be praised. She is a typical example of successful reform in our country, and it also needs to be reported to the higher-ups so that they know who Chen Xueru is.

We must publicize it vigorously, as it will be beneficial to our future work, very beneficial!

The street level department reported it and the higher-ups took it very seriously!

Special leaders and reporters came to express their condolences and interview Chen Xueru.

According to Cao Dongfang, Chen Xueru is very patriotic, the credit goes to her superiors, and helping others is a small matter!

We will continue to help to the best of our ability. Unless there are major difficulties, we will not trouble the organization.

Good comrade! Good comrade!

The superiors were very satisfied with Chen Xueru's words. Chen Xueru was affirmed and fully affirmed by her superiors.

It is a great achievement that such good comrades have changed from the capitalist camp to wholeheartedly supporting us.

Publicity, publicity, and more publicity. It took less than half a month for the story to spread from the old city to the whole country, writing bit by bit about Chen Xueru's changes over the past ten years.

From general regional newspapers to major national newspapers, Chen Xueru's deeds were publicized everywhere. She sacrificed her family property for the country and devoted herself wholeheartedly to the country's economic development.

People who devote themselves to the country wholeheartedly are such people, regardless of their origins. We cannot decide our origins, but we can decide what we do.

The sound of Chen Xueru was everywhere.

.......

Cao Dongfang was also jealous. He walked around the calligraphy several times and sucked his teeth. This calligraphy was bought for only 20,000 yuan.

I have given the country so much gold and foreign exchange, but I still get nothing. This is too unfair and I have no way to seek justice.

"Stop forwarding it, it makes me dizzy. What do you think? Are you jealous or envious? This could be the handwriting of the Great Elder, framed and given to me!

You don’t have it, do you need your sister to lend it to you for a few days to have fun?" Chen Xueru said proudly.

"No need, isn't it just a 'patriotic merchant'? It was my idea, so you don't have to show off. Keep a low profile, be low-key!" Cao Dongfang said with some jealousy.

"Haha, I don't know you yet. You've done a lot of things, but you don't even have a piece of calligraphy. You feel like you're at a disadvantage. Don't worry, I'll lend it to you." Chen Xueru said with a smile.

"No need for that. This character doesn't match my identity. You can keep it and keep it well. This will be your greatest amulet in the future. It will be very useful. You don't have to be afraid of any messy people." Cao Dongfang said.

"I see. How do you feel about making steel in the commune?" Chen Xueru asked.

"Not very good, the quality of the steel produced is not good. The farmers are very enthusiastic, but it's a pity that this is a technical job, enthusiasm alone is useless, and -

Farmers don’t go to farm!

Isn't it nonsense to go to steelmaking? This time the steelmaking campaign was a failure. It is good for the country to stop being radical. It is good for you. "Cao Dongfang said.

"Alas! I don't understand national affairs. I'll listen to you and keep a low profile these days. Many reporters have come and I'm a little annoyed." Chen Xueru said.

"You should be humble and low-key at this time, and don't let others have any handle on you. There are still many villains in this society. You need to be wary of them and be careful when spending money," said Cao Dongfang.

"I know. All the people who come are received in the shop. It's not good to look around without them coming to our house." Chen Xueru said.

"It's never a big deal to be careful. With this calligraphy, you don't have to be so cautious.

And this time won’t be long. In less than a month, you will be forgotten. "Cao Dongfang said.

"It's better to forget about it. I can't even eat well these days. People keep coming. It's so troublesome. It would be better if nothing happened." Chen Xueru said.

Just keep a low profile!

......

Chen Xueru became famous this time, and everyone who knew Chen Xueru knew about it. Niu Ye, Pian Ye, Xu Huizhen and others even came to Chen Xueru's house to celebrate with her.

The meal was so delicious that Niu Ye and his friends exclaimed that they were very envious of Chen Xueru, especially the calligraphy.

Ordinary people can’t have it!

Most people can’t have it!

Xu Huizhen's face was also full of envy, jealousy and hatred. These days, Cai Quanwu was busy collecting all kinds of scrap iron and buying iron everywhere.

Unfortunately, she did it too late, and it was not her turn to get good things. The best thing was to be praised by the street office. She would not get the same treatment as Chen Xueru.

"Dongfang, Hou Jie's former wife Chen Xueru has been on the newspaper and has become famous. It wasn't easy for her. She and Hou Jie must have divorced." Cao's mother asked at home.

"It's been a long time since they divorced. Hou Jie went to the northwest to help with construction. Liu Haizhong was the one who did the bad things. Chen Xueru wanted to deal with him. It's okay that it's in the newspaper this time!" Cao Dongfang said.

"It's not easy for a woman to be in the newspaper. A lot of her stories are reported in the newspaper, and it's very complete. It's good this way, and her life will be worry-free." said Cao's mother.

That’s right too!
