The history of raising children from the Republic of China to the 70s

Li Chengye was dissatisfied, "Mom, look at what you said, you are my own mother, how can I not care, next time you go out to buy something, you must call me, there are a lot of things, how heavy are you carrying alone?" !"

"Okay, okay, I will definitely call you next time." Mother Li is naturally very grateful for her son's concern, so she agreed with her mouth.

"Hey, do you want to eat sweet potatoes? I didn't have time to make breakfast today. Why don't you just eat some sweet potatoes!" Mother Li hurriedly pulled out two sweet potatoes from the match pile with tongs. I'm so busy, I really forgot to make breakfast, and it will definitely be too late.

"Okay." Li Chengye naturally did not refuse. The skin of this sweet potato has been burnt to look like black charcoal. It looks a little ugly, but when you peel off the skin, the red sweet potato meat inside is very sweet. Take a bite, um, tasty.

It didn't take long for Li Chengye to finish off two palm-sized sweet potatoes.When he went out, the two younger ones still didn't get up. Li Chengye had no choice but to go to the room to see them, and then went to work in the steel factory in the snow. Of course, he still had a gift for Hu Liren and the others. .

Today, almost all the important people from the steel plant came together, and a meeting was held in the big conference room early in the morning. This time, Li Chengye also had a seat of his own, as if he had also become a middle-level cadre of the steel plant. .

The content of the meeting was very simple, that is, they talked about the results of their trip abroad this time. There were a total of ten sets of steel smelting equipment. Originally, their funds were not enough to buy so many. Discount, a total of ten sets were made up.

Four sets of new iron and steel smelting equipment have become ten sets of new iron and steel smelting equipment. Naturally, the big guys have no objections. This is their advantage. In this way, their iron and steel plant can expand again. It's a great thing, next year their production will definitely double several times.

Purchasing equipment is no longer a problem, but these equipments will almost come in March. The problem now is that their production workshops are not enough, so they can’t put these machines in the open air at that time, if they are wet by rain It's not good.Moreover, if the work cannot be started in time and the machine is vacant, that is also a waste.

"There is so much snow now, and the Chinese New Year is less than 20 days away, we can't build so many factories in such a short time?" Director Zhou frowned, looking a little embarrassed.

Secretary Chu also had a serious face, "I know this task is very difficult, but the equipment will be in March at most, no, let it be relaxed, and it will be here in April at most. We must prepare this factory, even if it is a big one. We have to overcome the difficulties."

Director Ke of the factory committee office has some knowledge about the project, shook his head and said: "Secretary Chu, according to the situation in previous years, the temperature here will not rise until at least mid-February, and we can start construction at that time , Now the land is completely frozen, and no construction can be started at all. Coupled with the limited number of construction teams in our county, this project will definitely not be completed."

Although the winter here on their side is not too cold, the sub-zero temperature will continue for a period of time. During this time, they will not be able to break ground, not to mention the current weather. Many brick and tile factories have stopped, and it is impossible to open the kiln again. I don't know how long it will last, there are so many questions.

According to their original plan, the purchased new machine will definitely not be brought back so soon. Generally, this equipment is not in stock. It is necessary to place an order first, then start production, and finally ship it back for acceptance. Unexpectedly, they directly It is a purchased finished product, and the production process of those months is missing.In addition, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and they have to build more factories, so now they are very embarrassed.

"Can we start work at the end of February?" Director Zhou was a little skeptical.

Director Ke nodded and confirmed, "According to past experience, construction should start in late February." The weather started to warm up in mid-February. As long as the temperature is below zero, construction can start.But the main thing is to wait for the kiln to be opened, otherwise there will be no work without bricks and tiles.

Secretary Chu: "Hurry up and finalize the construction. Director Ke, please contact the construction team in the county and let them be the first to do our project."

Director Ke was surprised, "Can they agree to this? It is said that there are still many municipal projects to be done this year!"

Secretary Chu is very confident, "Of course it can be done. Secretary Fu has already said that those units should actively cooperate with our construction this year. Of course, these units also include the county construction team."

Director Ke was relieved, and replied: "Then I will contact Director Wu of the construction team later."

"Shouldn't there be enough construction team members? There are also these building materials, I guess there must be not enough." Director Zhou is still a little worried.

Secretary Chu thought for a while and looked at everyone, "The building materials are easy to talk about. We can ask the city for help. If the city doesn't work, then there are provinces. We can still dig out this little material."

"However, the lack of manpower is a problem. Do you have any good solutions, preferably to advance the construction period for a while?"

"How about we let the workers work overtime?"

"That won't work. It's hard work on the construction site. What if something happens to you if you're tired?"

"Then why don't you look for temporary workers or something? There should be many people in our county who don't have formal jobs, right?"

"That doesn't work either. What can those people do? They are all idlers. Don't help but cause trouble instead."

"..."

Ideas were put forward one by one, and they were immediately dismissed. In the end, things still didn't seem to make any progress.

Li Chengye also thought about it carefully, and there really was an idea in his mind that could be implemented. Before Li Chengye stood up to speak, Secretary Chu's eyes fell on Li Chengye, "Secretary Li, do you have any good ideas?"

Li Chengye didn't panic after being stopped, and cleared his throat under everyone's gaze, "I can definitely hire some temporary workers to help, but we won't look for them in the county town, but in the countryside."

"Everything is built in the countryside by yourself. Almost every adult man in every household can do the masonry work. Besides, I remember that we built a reservoir the year before last, but it was all done by recruiting strong labor from the countryside. It happened at the end of February In mid-March, when the farming is slack, those people also have time."

"Hey, you have a good idea." Secretary Chu touched his chin. This is indeed a good way. Most of the rural people can endure hardships, and there must be a lot of them, and they all have certain experience.

"It is indeed possible, but I still have to talk to Director Wu about this." Director Zhou also nodded in agreement.

Secretary Chu: "Director Ke, it's up to you to talk about this matter. We will find the temporary workers ourselves. After those people come, we will also arrange them. Anyway, our factory is very simple, and there are not so many things that need attention. When you arrive Pay more attention to the purchased materials, and make sure there is no problem with the quality.”

Director Ke immediately nodded and agreed, "Understood."

"As for finding those temporary workers, hey, Secretary Li, is your hometown in the town below? I'll leave this to you, but don't worry too much. It will be fine after the year. Those who are not enough to come over must be Be reliable!"

Secretary Chu looked at the time, it was getting late, and there were still some things to discuss, "Okay, that's the end of the factory building issue, let's move on to the next issue."

"By the end of March and the beginning of April, the scale of our factory will be expanded a lot. Then we still need to recruit a lot of people in the coming year. This also involves training issues. This matter can't be delayed any longer..."

Time passed by, and the end of the year was coming soon. There was a lot of work to be arranged. The meeting lasted until the afternoon. At noon, everyone had a simple meal in the meeting room, let alone rest.Therefore, Li Chengye didn't have time to find Hu Liren, and he didn't know how he was doing now.

I heard that the trade union may have been inspired by the last Mid-Autumn Festival Gala and planned to organize another small performance during the Chinese New Year. Of course, this time it is not as complicated as the previous one. It has been held for several days in a row, and the program is relatively simple. It's just a few short plays, so Hu Liren has been busy these days.

The meeting ended after five o'clock. Li Chengye wanted to find Hu Liren after packing up, but before he could pack up, Hu Liren came to the door by himself.

"Hey, Brother Li, long time no see, you won't forget me, will you?" Hu Liren leaned close to the door, and carefully glanced towards Secretary Chu's office, fearing that his voice would make noise there.

"Oh, no one can forget you!" Li Chengye greeted him with a smile.

"Hey, it's hard to say. I heard that you have made a lot of contributions this time, and you are already able to participate in the cadre-level meeting. It's not like a small person like me just forget it!" Hu Liren stepped forward Come on, close the door casually.

He was not polite, he just pulled up a chair and sat down.

Li Chengye didn't even want to pay attention to his words, and directly found out a package of things that he had prepared, "Here, this is yours."

Hu Liren took it curiously, and flipped through everything, "Hey, what are these? It doesn't look like something for me!"

"Didn't you just find a partner? I bought these things for you. I heard that the effect is very good. Remember to give me money!"

"Oh my god, isn't it? I still need to pay money? Then I can't afford it! Besides, who is who between the two of us, it's not too vulgar to talk about money, is it? Brother, thank you very much!" Hu Liren knew Li Chengye was joking, and he wasn't polite, anyway, it was almost the Chinese New Year, so he could just get some more New Year's goods for the Li family when the time came.

"Hey, that's a lot of money!" Li Chengye said deliberately.

"I know, I know, I can still lose to you. I just know that there is a place where sheep are killed. I heard that the goat meat from the frontier is very delicious. I will bring you a few catties. Now drink mutton at this time Soup is good for the body."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your mutton." Reciprocity, besides, they are not the kind of people who want to save face, Li Chengye didn't refuse, and directly agreed.

"By the way, this is for you." Li Chengye took out a golden pen from the drawer. This is exactly what he brought back from D. It looks very nice and is said to be of good quality.

"Wow, the fountain pen is also a foreign brand! It's still Montblanc!" Hu Liren took a closer look at the item when he got it, and exclaimed when he saw the brand clearly. The department store of the provincial capital also sells pens of this brand. One is almost one or two hundred.

"Hey, forget about those things, you'd better take this pen back, I can't afford it, it's too precious." Hu Liren shook his head and refused, and directly put the pen back on Li Chengye's desk.

Li Chengye quickly explained: "I didn't spend any money on this pen. It was a gift from someone else. There are only five pens in a set."

Hu Liren didn't really believe it, who would give such a valuable thing for no reason, and even gave it five, isn't it a joke. "I'm so easy to deceive, you can take it back quickly, and pass it on to Xiaoxi and Xiaobei in the future, it can be regarded as a family heirloom."

Li Chengye was very helpless. To tell the truth, no one believed it. "It was a gift from someone else. I helped a family abroad. Their family is very rich. This is a thank you gift."

"Given by a foreigner, won't there be any problem?" Hu Liren still looked suspicious.

Li Chengye shook his head with certainty, "No problem, this item was handed over to me after passing through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and it has been reported to the higher authorities." All of them have been inspected when they came back this time, of course to confirm There won't be any problems, otherwise Li Chengye wouldn't be able to bring it back.

"That's fine." Li Chengye explained so clearly that Hu Liren believed it, picked up the pen on the table again, and played it carefully in his hand, obviously he liked it very much.In this day and age, owning a fountain pen of a famous brand is a very enviable thing, and he is naturally very happy.

"Hey, thank you, brother. Don't worry, I will definitely pick out the mutton for you then." Hu Liren would be very happy, and happily gave Li Chengye a discount to guarantee the ticket.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your mutton." Li Chengye also smiled.

"Hey, by the way, is our steel plant going to recruit people soon?" Hu Liren finally remembered that he had other things to do when he came here.

This is not some secret news. If the steel plant wants to expand, it will definitely need to recruit people. "That's right, it is estimated that it will start after the Chinese New Year. Those workers should also be trained in advance."

"Then we must recruit a lot of people this time?"

"Well, depending on the situation, it should be that several workshops will be built this time." The current equipment is very large, and this set of equipment almost requires a workshop, and there are naturally many supporting people.Moreover, they still have a lot of old equipment that can still be used, and it is estimated that it will not be a matter of time to completely eliminate it.
