"Oh, I always have people pinching my throat. This feeling is really unpleasant." Ma Jian was very annoyed. He still had lingering resentment about what happened last time.
Zhu Yuming lowered his voice: "If you want to change all this, you have to start from everything in front of you. It is an unavoidable reality that the farm is divided into various production teams. Only when we achieve the premise of self-sufficiency can we have the opportunity to cooperate with the old intellectuals and young people
There is a possibility of a competition. Maybe these guys have already thought of ways to deal with us before we come here."
Some cried and some laughed. Seeing the new educated young people all having sad faces, the older batch of educated young people felt happy.
"Hey, do you think the expressions of those new recruits are exactly the same as when we first came to Xianji Bridge last year?" Zhou Xianglin said with a smile.
"Actually, we are also doing it for their own good. Let them adapt to rural life as early as possible. Don't think that going to the mountains and countryside is as imagined, and you have to be prepared to suffer when you come here." Feng Wanlin said with a smile.
"But we must also pay attention to control the scale and not go too far." Zhao Jianguo reminded quickly.
Wu Wanyi said: "When appropriate, we still need to provide them with some help. When we come to Xianjiqiao, don't we often receive enthusiastic help from the people of Xianjiqiao Brigade? We must pass on this warmth no matter what."
"Wanyi is right. It's not easy for us to be in the same place. We are both fallen people in the world, so there is no need to rush into each other." Dai Fudong said with a smile.
"We have actually been very good to them. We have provided them with sufficient rations and provided them with vegetables. We did not have such good conditions back then. We had to go to night classes in exchange for the supplies from the villagers. Today we can do it ourselves
Now that we are self-sufficient, we will leave night classes to newcomers like them," Pan Xiaoling said.
"Yes, we can provide them with more opportunities, but we must not let them get something for nothing or develop bad habits. We must not let them develop into young men and young ladies," Zhou Xianglin said.
Wu Wanyi said quickly: "I am in the improvement class over there. If I change people, the improvement class may not be able to continue."
Zhao Jianguo nodded: "The situation there is special and it is still inconvenient. Comrades such as Chang Xing are the best among the young people in Xianjiqiao. We pay attention to maintaining good relations with them. You are familiar with them, so you must
We must maintain this relationship.”
Wu Wanyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Jianguo added: "Comrade Wu Wanyi, I have to remind you one thing. We must maintain good relations with local comrades, and we must also pay attention to keeping an appropriate distance. Don't be too affectionate and fall into it. Sooner or later we will
If you are able to return to the city one day, if you get married in the countryside, it will most likely mean that you will not be able to return to the city."
Wu Wanyi's face turned red: "Comrade Zhao Jianguo, it's best not to make some jokes. Comrade Chang Xing and I have a normal gay relationship. Please don't misunderstand me."
Zhao Jianguo sighed. Wu Wanyi was rescued by Chang Xing. She was afraid that she did not even realize the change from repaying her kindness to being in love. In fact, who among the older batch of educated young people who came here could not see it? Wu Wanyi had obviously begun to be emotional.
.
This kind of thing cannot be stopped, just like a fire that is still burning. The more you try to put it out, the faster it may spread.
"The Xianjiqiao Brigade has changed a lot now. It has built two tea farms on barren hills, and is also preparing to build four orchards on barren hills. The pig farm with 100 pigs will produce hundreds of pigs by the end of the year. In addition, a large number of pigs are being farmed.
Reclaiming barren mountains. The members of the Xianjiqiao Brigade are completely different from when we first came here. At that time, they were all very lazy, but now they are all working hard. If this continues, in a few years, Xianjiqiao will be completely different.
The Jiqiao Brigade can make a big difference," Zhao Jianguo said.
"Jianguo, do you have any ideas?" Dai Fudong asked.
Zhao Jianguo nodded: "If Youth Farm wants to develop and grow, it cannot just rely on growing rice. Even if the rice planting area is expanded several times, our output will be difficult to surpass the Xianjiqiao Brigade. At best, we can hand over more food to the country. If only
If it’s limited to this, it doesn’t mean much.”
"Jianguo, if you have any ideas, don't beat around the bush, just say it directly. We all listen to you," Dai Fudong said.
"First of all, let me state that I am just expressing my personal opinion. I am not asking everyone to listen to me. My personal opinion must be voted on by everyone before I can decide whether to implement it." Zhao Jianguo quickly added.
"Comrade Zhao Jianguo, you are just too cautious. We educated young people who go to the mountains and countryside must be bold. If our youth farms want to develop rapidly, we must be bold and dare not follow the rules. If you have ideas, you should boldly implement them!
"Wu Wanyi said.
"I humbly accept Comrade Wu Wanyi's criticism. Well, I do have an idea. We all come from the East China Sea, and many of us have worked in factories. Even very skilled technicians. And here in Taipingqiao Town
Due to the lack of machinery factories, there is an extreme shortage of many machines. Take the water-powered rice mill, for example, there is not even one in the entire Dashui Commune. In fact, the technical difficulty of the water-powered rice mill is not high. Our youth farm can produce a water-powered rice mill.
There are many comrades who work on machines. If we build a small machine shop here, we can manufacture some agricultural equipment that is urgently needed in the countryside," said Zhao Jianguo.
"It's a good idea, but it's not feasible. With our current conditions, it's impossible to build a machinery manufacturing workshop. That requires machines. Where can you find milling machines and planers?" Dai Fudong asked.
"It's actually not difficult. As far as I know, there is a machinery factory in Taipingqiao Town, which was a project aided by the Soviet Union. Because there are high mountains around Taipingqiao, it is easy to hide. The machinery factory itself has a certain military component. But later
China and the Soviet Union had a falling out, and the project was abandoned halfway. Because Soviet experts took away a large number of drawings, these machines became a pile of scrap metal due to the lack of key drawings. Originally, Qingshui City was planning to find a way to use these machines.
Who knew that this storm was coming and many things were at a standstill." Zhao Jianguo learned of such important news through some channels.
"But even if we can get these machines, can we just install and debug the machines?" Wu Wanyi said worriedly.
"You don't have to worry about this. I once went to the factory with experts from the Soviet Union. At that time, the factory was about to be put into production. As a result, when the experts from the Soviet Union left, the factory almost died. In the end, with the help of a few
Thanks to the efforts of the old masters, the factory was finally able to operate normally. One of those old masters was my master. I have been an intern in the factory for several months and am very familiar with the machinery." Zhao Jianguo said with a smile.
"Can we get the machinery from the scrapped factory?" Wu Wanyi asked worriedly.
"This depends on our ability." Zhao Jianguo said.
"Jianguo, I think this idea is great! If we succeed, our youth farm will no longer be a simple farm." Dai Fudong said.
"I want to set up a youth machinery factory. Organize all the people with good skills to set up a machinery factory, and the rest will continue to work on the farm here." Zhao Jianguo said.
"Then when the time comes, will we be considered young intellectuals jumping in line at the Xianjiqiao brigade of Dashui Commune? Or are we young intellectuals jumping in line at the machinery factory in Taipingqiao Town?" Ding Henggao asked.
"Is the title important?" Zhao Jianguo asked.
"The title doesn't matter. But at least we can go to the factory. Workers and farmers have different meanings. Although they are called the eldest brother of workers and the second brother of farmers, the gap between the two sides is huge," Dai Fudong said.
"Fudong will go to town with me tomorrow to inquire about the situation." Zhao Jianguo said.
"Okay!" Dai Fudong said excitedly.
The next day, Dai Fudong and Zhao Jianguo went to Taipingqiao Town.
Dai Fudong and Zhao Jianguo have not visited Taipingqiao Town many times, and they do not know much about the situation in the town.
"Comrade, may I ask which direction the machinery factory is?" Zhao Jianguo asked.
"Machinery factory? Where did Taipingqiao come from? There is only a match factory and a winery. Bamboo Leaf Green is produced by Taipingqiao Winery. It tastes pretty good."
Zhao Jianguo shook his head: "We are looking for a machinery factory."
"Young man, I think you must be mistaken. There is no machinery factory in Taipingqiao. I grew up in Taipingqiao. I don't know if there is a machinery factory?"
Zhao Jianguo and Dai Fudong asked many people, but no one knew about the machinery factory.
"What should I do? People in Taipingqiao Town don't know this machinery factory at all." Dai Fudong was dumbfounded.
"The only way now is to go to the Taipingqiao Revolutionary Committee." Zhao Jianguo said.
He quickly asked about the location of the Revolutionary Committee, and it didn't take long to find the place.
"Comrade, who are you looking for?" The guard stopped the two of them.
"We have something important to do with the director of the town revolutionary committee. We are young intellectuals who jumped in from the Xianjiqiao brigade of Dashui Commune, and we have something important to do with the director of the revolutionary committee," Zhao Jianguo said.
"You educated young people should stay in the team that jumps in and work hard. Try to hand over more food to the country. Why do you keep coming to the leading comrades?" The guard frowned.
"Comrade, we are not here to cause trouble. We have important matters to see the director," Zhao Jianguo said.
"Then you register here. The director's office is in that direction." The guard finally let me go.
Coincidentally, the director of the Taipingqiao Revolutionary Committee was Tian Daosen. If Changxing saw this person, he would be able to recognize him at a glance.
When Tian Daosen was the deputy mayor, the feng shui bureau at his home was destroyed. As a result, the feng shui of the haunted house made Tian Daosen miserable. Unfortunately, he was caught by the special commissioner of the prefectural committee. At that time, Tian Daosen was arrested and became a
Ordinary cadres.
However, Guo Shiping was severely impacted at the beginning of the turmoil. Not only did he retreat from his position, he was also labeled as a counterrevolutionary and imprisoned in the bullpen.
Tian Daosen naturally became the one who was suppressed by Guo Shiping. So Tian Daosen quickly became the deputy mayor again, and soon became the director of Taipingqiao Town Revolutionary Committee.
Zhao Jianguo and Dai Fudong, led by young cadres, came to Tian Daosen's office.
"How did you know about this situation?" Tian Dawson said warily.
"I saw it from the internal reference. At that time, I collected many cases where the construction of factories was stalled because the Soviet Union withdrew its experts. The stillbirth of the Taipingqiao Machinery Factory was one of them," Zhao Jianguo said.
.
Tian Daosen raised his head and glanced at Zhao Jianguo: "Okay, tell me what is the purpose of your trip?"
"We want to build this machinery factory." Zhao Jianguo said.
Tian Daosen was very distrustful of Zhao Jianguo. No matter what Zhao Jianguo said, it had no effect in the end. Instead, after being criticized by Tian Daosen, he kicked Zhao Jianguo and Dai Fudong out of the office.
"Today's young people are just not practical. The purpose of going to the mountains and countryside is to let the educated youths who go to the countryside stay in the countryside, rather than letting them tinker with machinery." Tian Daosen said disdainfully after Zhao Jianguo and Dai Fudong left the office.
One sentence.
"What should we do now?" Dai Fudong was very frustrated.
"Don't be discouraged yet, let's think of more solutions." Zhao Jianguo said.
"Actually, we can go find Xianji Bridge, maybe they can find a solution." Dai Fudong said.
Zhao Jianguo shook his head: "I'm afraid that the Xianjiqiao Brigade may not be able to help this time."
Zhou Maolin frowned when he heard the purpose of Zhao Jianguo and Dai Fudong's visit: "I really can't speak in town."
"Alas, it seems that this time the plan will come to nothing." Dai Fudong said.
Zhou Maolin suddenly said: "Actually, you can find Chang Xing. He seems to know Tian Daosen."
"Then I'll go find him." Zhao Jianguo said excitedly.
When they arrived at Chang Xing's house, Zhao Jianguo talked about going to the town to inquire about the machinery factory.
"Comrade Chang Xing, you are familiar with Director Tian, can you help us intercede? After the machinery factory is built, it will also be good for Xianji Bridge." Zhao Jianguo said.
"Not to mention the benefits, I do know this Tian Daosen. But I can't guarantee that he will agree." Chang Xing said.
When Chang Xing appeared in Tian Daosen's office, Tian Daosen still missed his old friendship. However, Tian Daosen seemed to be very nervous, fearing that Chang Xing would reveal what happened that day.
"Director Tian, what a pleasure it is to meet you. We meet again so soon," Chang Xing said.
"Master Chang, hello, hello. I didn't thank you properly last time." Tian Daosen said.
"Director Tian is so polite. It's been so long, what are you still remembering?" Chang Xing said.
Tian Daosen closed the door and whispered: "Master Chang, please don't talk about the past. If others hear it, we will all be in trouble."
"Don't worry. I won't talk nonsense. I do have something to ask when I come here." Chang Xing said.
