Chapter 593 Sixty things, fine factory flowers (18)
Just when Sheng Yujin was being pulled by her two elders to inquire about his relationship, Xu Yin returned to the breeding farm.
As soon as he arrived, he went to the pig farm to visit the twenty piglets he was responsible for.
The piglets seemed to know her, and as soon as they saw her coming, they hummed and came over to beg for food.
Yuan Yafen said with a smile: "I just had a meal half an hour ago. I'm definitely not hungry, just greedy."
Xu Yin smiled and grabbed a handful of melon seeds and gave them to her: "Thank you, Sister Yuan, for helping me take care of them."
"Just feed the pigs a few meals, what's the point of hard work! Why do you come back so early when you only have one day off for half a month? Why don't you stay at home for a while? Are you worried about your pigs?"
Xu Yin laughed: "There is nothing wrong at home anyway."
On the contrary, it is better to come back and spend time with the pig than to go back and help Xu Yao get a wife.
When Xu Yin was cleaning the pig pen, she thought of the materials needed for the construction of the biogas digester and asked Yuan Yafen: "Sister Yuan, did the farm director tell me when the cement and cement pipes will be delivered?"
"It can't be so fast. There are so many materials submitted, and the approval will take several days. It also depends on whether the brick and cement factories are busy, and whether there are other production plans ahead. I estimate that they can be shipped to us before the end of the year.
That’s pretty good.”
"..."
Is it so inefficient?
But there is no point in rushing about this matter, we can only wait.
Fortunately, the drainage cover made of bamboo strips is quite strong and can barely hold up for a while.
Unexpectedly, the next day, Director Qi came to tell her the good news:
"Xiao Xu, you have done a great job for us! After the last report was published in the newspaper, Deputy Director Lin received a commendation from his superiors. No, Director Zheng will be transferred to other places when his term is up. No surprise, next time
The candidate for director of the first general factory is Deputy Director Lin! Director Lin asked me to ask you, what kind of reward do you want?"
Xu Yin was delighted: I was so sleepy that someone gave me a pillow!
"Director, I don't want any other reward. Can you ask Director Lin to give us priority in approving a batch of cement materials for building biogas digesters? Come early and build early."
Farm Director Qi gave her a thumbs up: "Comrade Xu Yin, you are the first grassroots employee that I admire from the bottom of my heart! You do not seek personal gain and serve the public wholeheartedly. The farm has outstanding employees like you, who are ours."
Good luck! If you work hard, I will recommend you as an advanced model worker next year!"
Field director Qi still had something to say: he would retire in three years. If the new field director was not appointed by his superiors but directly selected from the field staff, he decided to nominate Xu Yin.
He had a premonition that Comrade Xu Yin would lead the farm to go higher and further.
Director Qi was filled with excitement when he thought that the farm would one day become a center of attention. After returning home, his thoughts were still racing and he could not calm down.
But his wife thought this was not a good thing: "Lao Yang, if she is as capable as you say and makes the farm make great progress, what will others think of you? What if you are compared with her? How shameful!"
"Hey!" Field Director Qi waved his hand in disapproval, "You have long hair and short knowledge! I will have retired by then, what is the comparison? The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the new people in the world drive out the old! You are driven out by the new people.
Super, what kind of shame is this? You should be happy! And haven’t you noticed? It’s only been a few days since Xiao Xu came here, and our farm has been praised by superiors many times. Where has such an honor been given before? It’s just a matter of not being criticized.
Not bad! There are many praises, and the face of me, the director of the farm, is bright. Isn’t it considered as my political achievement? Also, the higher-level departments have been promoting biogas in various places. The reason why our farm has not dared to respond is because we have no money.
Can’t you afford a technician? Now that there is a knowledgeable person on site who can handle the biogas issue without any additional expenses, it will be more honorable to go to the city for a meeting? Isn’t it just another political achievement?”
The farm manager's wife thought about it carefully and it seemed to be the reason, so she didn't say anything else.
With an urgent approval note from Deputy Director Lin, cement, red bricks, cement pipes, cement concrete and metal pipes for methane exhaust were transported to the farm as quickly as possible.
Xu Yin led the pig farm workers to spread their arms and start fucking.
Site selection, pool digging, laying out lines, formwork support...
It takes several days to build a biogas digester, not to mention connecting the sewage sewers of the pig farm to the biogas digester, installing cement pipes on them all, and then connecting the exhaust pipes of the biogas digester to the pig farm and the administrative office building.
The scale is not small.
What should we do if we don’t have enough manpower? Director Qi calls on all employees to work together! Participate in the construction of biogas digesters together!
As a result, office workers cannot bear it.
In addition to the logistics office, which has to handle slop buckets, issue material invoices, and move materials in and out of the warehouse, etc., which is a lot of physical work, employees in other departments should not take it too easy:
Sitting in the office with my legs crossed, drinking tea and reading the newspaper, I don't get the sun in the summer and the cold wind in the winter. It's my turn to go out for a walk symbolically.
Although the wages are not as high as those of office workers in the main factory and branch factories, the work is less and the work is very leisurely.
It's not like now, after finishing your own work, you have to help your colleagues on the pig farm to cut pig grass.
Because the strong laborers on the pig farm had time to do infrastructure construction, the less technical work of cutting pig grass was assigned to the office.
It was a hot day and I spent half a day cutting the pig grass. I was sweating profusely. I was tired and hot, and I couldn't help complaining.
But it was useless to find the field director, because the field director said: "You are tired of cutting pig grass? How about changing your job? How about following Comrade Xu Yin to lay sewage pipes?"
That’s even more tiring!
Having no choice, I had to take a roundabout route and complain to the manager's wife.
In the past, the wife of the farm manager heard the complaints of the people below and made sure to complain to the man.
Why does Xu Yin have to ask all the employees to cooperate with her if she just says a word? Who is she?
But I just heard the man’s analysis two days ago and felt that the success of the farm was related to the man’s political performance. So when the employees came to her to complain, she comforted her:
"Old Yang can't help it. He can't do anything without seeing Deputy Factory Director Lin. He has approved all the dead things like cement and bricks for us, but in terms of manpower, the main factory and the branch factory can't transfer more.
Manpower, let us farm work out our own solutions. In fact, Lao Yang has taken good care of you. You see, at the pig farm, everyone, male and female, old and strong, has to dig ponds and lay sewers. Not only is it tiring, but it is also extremely dirty.
If you don’t make it, you might even cut your clothes... The suffering is only for a moment. When the biogas digester is built, we will be rewarded by the superiors, and at the end of the year, Lao Yang will definitely give you more benefits to make up for it."
Seeing the director's wife say this, everyone had no choice but to give up.
Think about it, they are also farm workers, and the pig farm workers have to work harder than them. They just cut pig grass, while those people have to dig holes, carry mud, and lay pipes...
The most tiring part is laying the pipes. The thick cement pipes need to be lifted into the pit step by step and spliced together tightly. It makes my shoulders hurt just looking at it.
There was no objection, and the construction of the biogas digester was proceeding steadily and orderly.
This morning, Xu Yin had just finished her work and was about to lay cement pipes. Sister Tian, who went out to pick up the slop bucket, said to her: "Xiao Xu, there is someone looking for you at the gate!"
After a pause, he added with a smile: "He's a very handsome young man, he won't be your date, right?"
