Chapter 101 The rolling mill prepares for the workers' sports meeting
Superiors approved Director Yang’s application.
The rolling mill will hold a summer sports meet next month.
The competition events include tug-of-war, volleyball, wrestling, cycling, rope skipping, vaulting, weightlifting, track and field, etc.
As the first employee sports meeting of the steel rolling mill, the superiors are very supportive.
Two sets of reward programs have also been specially set up.
For the final winning team in the collective competition, a banner will be awarded to the participating department and the title of advanced collective will be awarded.
Each contestant also received an enamel washbasin with text printed on it, an enamel teapot and a commemorative red vest.
For solo players, the prizes are even more valuable.
The third place winner will each be rewarded with an enamel basin, an enamel teapot, a towel, and a commemorative red vest.
The second place contestant will each receive a Spring Thunder radio and a commemorative red vest.
The contestants who win the championship will each be rewarded with a new ceiling fan sponsored by Dongfeng Motor Factory and a commemorative red vest.
That's right, it's a ceiling fan.
Ceiling fans, which are usually installed in conference rooms or leaders' homes, were awarded to workers as prizes for the first time.
With this ceiling fan, Lin Zhen agreed to Deputy Director Li's wrestling invitation without saying a word.
Originally, the organization planned to use a radio as a prize for the individual champion.
As a result, the motor factory sponsored the ceiling fan, and the rare ceiling fan immediately became the championship prize.
In fact, in 1962, the manufacturing technology of electric fans had matured, and both ceiling fans and table fans had been manufactured.
It’s just that it hasn’t been extended to people’s homes yet.
The three most important items of a wealthy family are bicycles, sewing machines, watches and radios.
Lin Zhen traveled back in time almost 7 years ago and has long wanted to install a fan in his home.
But since electric fans are only provided in the homes of the chief and deputy factory directors, and not even among workshop directors, I have no choice but to endure it.
Now that he has the opportunity to blow the electric fan, he is bound to get it.
Not only him, but also everyone in the factory wanted to take the ceiling fan home.
Xu Damao signed up for cycling, MCA signed up for vaulting, Qin Huairu signed up for skipping, and Liu Haizhong signed up for weightlifting.
But because of Liu Haizhong's age, he called back when he signed up.
Liu Haizhong was dissatisfied, "I can lift a hundred and eighty kilograms no problem with my physique. Comrade, if I can't be first, I can be third."
"Comrade Liu Haizhong, please read the notice at the door. You are not allowed to be over 40 years old. You are over fifty, why are you joining in the fun?"
Xu Damao chuckled and said: "Old Liu, come back to the workshop quickly. This is a sports meeting for young people. Whenever there are people doing Tai Chi, you can compete with them."
"Xu Damao, what did you call me?"
"I call you Lao Liu, should I call you Uncle Er? Are you now?"
"I don't know the same as you!" Liu Haizhong was so angry that he threw his hands away and left.
Silly Zhu also came to sign up for wrestling.
It's not that he is confident that he can beat Lin Zhen, it's that in sports he can do what he can in wrestling.
When Xu Damao looked at it, he curled his lips and mocked: "What a stupid pig. With Lin Zhen in the wrestling group, you can't help but take a radio back!"
Silly Zhu said disdainfully: "Get out of here, Xu Damao, you know nothing. Regular wrestling is not fighting. One-on-one, follow the rules. I'm not afraid of Lin Zhen. Huh! I'm just looking for a chance to compete with him. After a month of training,
The outcome is unpredictable!”
"Tch! Just you? Humph!"
Xu Damao firmly believed that Silly Zhu would lose, and he was the only one who had truly experienced Lin Zhen's prowess.
News of the first workers' sports meeting of the steel rolling mill spread back to the courtyard.
But I was so envious of the third uncle, Yan Bugui.
"Oh, you said this big company is good, but Xie Cheng and Yu Li's small unit doesn't have that many people if they want to organize a sports meeting."
The third aunt said enviously: "Even if there are so many people, there are not such good prizes. How about an electric fan? I have only watched the big leaders in the movie fanning them during meetings. If there is an electric fan, it will be easier to sleep at night."
No need to shake the cattail fan!"
Yan Jiefang said: "Dad, why don't we go buy one? It's getting hotter day by day and I can't sleep at night."
Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi also echoed, "Yes, dad, buy one and hang it in the middle, and the wind will fill the room every time."
Yan Bugui's face darkened and he knocked on the table.
"Now the supply and marketing cooperatives don't have the goods, and they haven't spread to ordinary people's homes yet. Besides, even if the goods are available, they don't buy them. If they buy them, they fan them all summer and can't use them in the winter. What a waste!"
Yan Jiefang curled his lips and said, "If you feel uncomfortable in winter, you can still fan yourself. Wear more clothes, put on a hat, and sit under the fan to get some air."
Snapped!
"What are you talking about, you idiot? You are making fun of your father!" The third aunt angrily slapped Yan Laoer in the face.
Yan Jiedi smiled and said: "Haha, forget it if you don't buy it. When the time comes, I will go find Sister Xiao'e, and Brother Lin Zhen will definitely win one."
Yan Jiefang said: "Then I can go too. I'm not the eldest uncle. Even if Lin Zhen pretends to be in the bedroom, I can still go and fan him."
Yan Jiekuang said with a smile: "Then I will be more able to go, I haven't even entered junior high school yet!"
"You can't even go!"
Yan Bugui was trembling with anger, "You three are imitating your eldest brother and sister-in-law, and why are you going to Lin Zhen's house every day? This is our home. Although it is small, there are no outsiders. We are not allowed to imitate your eldest brother and sister-in-law in the future, and there is no separation of families.
Let’s divide the property first!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li came back from get off work and came for dinner on time.
"Dad, what did you say? When did I separate your family? Even if Yu Li gives birth to a child in the future, this family will not be separated!"
Yan Bugui pursed his lips, thinking that you want to eat me to death.
He muttered: "No matter what, I didn't say anything. Old lady, let's have dinner, let's have dinner..."
In the days that followed, the workers in the steel rolling mill lived a very fulfilling life.
People who participate in the sports meeting get up an hour early to exercise before going to work every day.
After get off work, I exercise until after nine o'clock before eating.
Only Lin Zhen is still very leisurely, and the pace of life is not chaotic at all.
Silly Zhu was even more happy when he saw it, thinking that it would be better if you didn't exercise. I will definitely win you this time!
Lin Zhen went to the clinic to see Ye Qi after dinner that day.
After all, he is the heir he likes, so he goes over to chat with him from time to time.
As soon as I entered the clinic, I saw Xu Damao sitting inside.
"Lin Gong, you are here, sit down quickly!" Ye Qi quickly stood up and gave up her seat.
Xu Damao turned his head and said with a smile: "Lin Gong, have you eaten?"
Lin Zhen nodded, "Xu Damao, are you here to adjust your body again?"
"Uh...I..."
Ye Qi smiled and said: "He asked me to prescribe some Dali Pills in preparation for winning the cycling championship at the sports meeting. I didn't agree. I felt it was unfair to the other athletes. He is just trying to get through."
Lin Zhen frowned and said: "Xu Damao, do you want the crane crown red I have here? I guarantee that you will fly to the sky after eating it."
Xu Damao smiled apologetically: "I, I... I still don't want it."
"Go away, quit the game if you can't hold on, what are you doing?"
"Okay, let's go now!"
Xu Damao ran away in a flash. He really couldn't hold on. He didn't even have one-tenth of Si Zhu's perseverance.
From time to time, I was squeezed by Qin Jingru. Let alone winning the championship, it would be a miracle to pass.
