Return to the red age

"It's a reward. The briquette machine I built is a reward from the factory."

"Rewarding sewing tickets, how much credit does this have?" When the second aunt heard this, she couldn't believe her eyes.

"The administrative level of the motorcycle factory has been raised one level, and three new workshops have been added. One workshop manufactures machines for producing briquettes..." The second uncle explained the current development of the motorcycle factory.

When the second aunt heard this, she clicked her tongue and looked at the sewing ticket in her hand. The second uncle said in a low voice: "Don't tell anyone, otherwise some people will be unhappy."

"I know better than you. Let Xiaohai come to our house for dinner tomorrow, and I'll buy some steamed meat buns." The second aunt happily collected the sewing tickets.

"Yes." The second uncle nodded. Neighbors may not necessarily be good neighbors at this time. In fact, they are the same everywhere.

When Liu Hai arrived at the factory the next day, he came to the factory director first. The factory director was surprised, and then he poured tea for Liu Hai himself: "Comrade Liu Hai, what's the difficulty?"

"Thank you, director. I came here this time to report to the director that I bought an old three-wheeled engine at the material recycling station. I want to use this engine to build a three-wheeled motorcycle for our own use in the maintenance department. Car." Liu Hai knows one thing. When working in this kind of factory, it is right to report more. Many times, you have to make your own decisions on small things that you think are inconspicuous, leaving a bad impression on the leader. So indifferent. It will be over from now on.

When the factory director heard this, he nodded and said, "Okay, if you need any parts or materials, just go to the warehouse and get them. I'll say hello to you."

"Thank you, director. This tea is really delicious."

"Here, I'll give you a pack. If you don't have any anymore, come to me again and ask for it. But Comrade Liu Hai, be careful when you work and don't hurt yourself. Just leave the maintenance department matters to your subordinates. You can also study at work. "The factory director took out a cowhide bag from the office, placed it in front of Liu Hai, and said.

"I understand, thank you, director." Liu Hai knew what the director meant, so he almost said, you can play whatever you want and let others do the work. He picked up the brown paper bag while thanking him.

As soon as Liu Hai went out, the secretary came in with a tea cup. The division of labor between the secretary and the factory director was different. The secretary asked: "What difficulties does Xiao Liu have?"

"He is here to report..." The factory director took out a cigarette, handed it to the secretary, and said.

The secretary took the cigarette and put the cup on the glass of the desk, which was pressed against a piece of glass. After sitting down and listening, he chuckled: "Young man, it's good to have ideas. Comrade Liu Hai has made great contributions this time. I just I know that the superiors are planning to vigorously develop briquettes and have even sent people to Texas to understand the situation..."

"In Texas, honeycomb briquettes are called big briquettes, but the development there is not very good, the population is small, and many people still use earthen stoves..."

"We started from the masses this time and quickly opened up the situation. Texas also has briquette machines, but they can only press one at a time, and the briquettes there are larger than ours..."

After listening to this, the factory director took a sip of tea and said, "Comrade Xiao Liu is our lucky general."

"I think so."

If there is a factory director, Liu Hai will study in the maintenance department, drawing, and let three subordinates go down if there is field work, and the three subordinates will take turns. Li Dali and the three of them will repair motorcycles without any problem. At least they will have good food when they go out to work. nice drink.

At noon, Liu Hai went to various workshops to hang out. Each workshop also welcomed Liu Hai. The materials were released for Liu Hai to work on, and Liu Hai processed various parts according to the drawings in the workshop.

When I got tired of drawing, I started doing my homework. The person introduced by Teacher Zhu also came. He was a young man in his twenties named Zhu Dajun.

He is a nephew of Teacher Zhu. Liu Hai took Zhu Dajun to meet Hou Jianshe: "Brother Hou, this is my teacher's nephew. He has a junior high school education."

"Leave it to me, brother, don't worry." Although Hou Jianshe still has the title of chief of the maintenance department, he doesn't care about the maintenance department. He runs around every day, dealing with plant construction, personnel, materials, etc., and he belongs to the preparatory team. Team leader.

"Brother Zhu, Brother Hou is just like my biological eldest brother." Liu Hai also patted Zhu Dajun on the shoulder and said.

When Zhu Dajun entered the factory, he saw many people greeting Liu Hai affectionately. Only then did he realize how close his elder, a student, was in the factory.

"Thank you, brother, I will definitely do a good job." Zhu Dajun nodded and replied.

Liu Hai didn't know Zhu Dajun's background, but since the teacher introduced him and the factory had passed the inspection, there would probably be no problem.

Liu Hai brought Zhu Dajun here to let Hou Jianshe recognize him, so that at least he would not be made things difficult for other old workers in the future.

Eating steamed buns at the second uncle's house in the evening, Liu Hai plans to start officially restoring the motorcycle next week, making all the parts himself.

"Brother Xu, are you alone?" Liu Hai looked at Xu Damao alone.

"My father's job has been transferred to the west side of the city." Xu Damao explained after hearing Liu Hai's words.

"Oh, are you used to living alone?"

"It's best to be alone. Brother, you don't know that my mother is very nagging." Xu Damao said with a smile.

"Brother, your factory is getting more and more prosperous. Three more workshops have been added."

“Good leadership, good leadership.”

Tofu, beans, steamed buns, and some fatty meat, Liu Hai, Xu Damao, and the second uncle were at the table. Xu Damao and the second uncle were still drinking.

"Brother, the briquette stove in your factory is really good. I won't burn the briquettes myself anymore. There will still be fire and hot water when I go to work in the morning and come back at night." Xu Damao said while eating steamed buns.

The second uncle also nodded while eating steamed buns: "Fortunately, we bought it early. There are many people queuing up now. It is said that people from the south of the city come to our east city to queue up to buy."

"I heard that too."

"Jia Dongxu asked me to borrow money yesterday." Xu Damao took a sip of wine and whispered.

The second uncle shook his head and said, "Lao Yi didn't do things well this time, but I guess Lao Yi wanted to use money to manipulate Jia Dongxu."

"The first master might become enemies in the future if he does this. The first master and Silly Zhu seem to have gotten better recently. I saw the first master and Silly Zhu whispering in the cafeteria at noon." Xu Damao shook his head and said.

"Forget it, let's not talk about them. Everyone has his own way of living. No matter what we say, we will be hated by others." The second uncle shook his head. It's hard to say what Lao Yi thinks in his heart. He has his own agenda. .

Liu Hai didn't care about these things. Everyone has his own way of living. In fact, Liu Hai didn't understand. The retirement salary of an old man was enough to support him for the rest of his life, so why did he have to go to the pole to figure it out? However, every era is different, and people have different considerations.

After eating and drinking, Liu Hai went back to his place. Before he entered the house, he saw Jia Dongxu just coming back from outside with a cigarette in his mouth. Liu Hai pretended not to see it.

Liu Hai was confused, why would he smoke even if he has no money?

When Jia Dongxu returned home with a cigarette in his mouth, Qin Huairu looked at Jia Dongxu and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Women shouldn't ask about a man's family affairs. If Yi Zhonghai asks, don't tell me I'm out." Jia Dongxu glared at Qin Huairu and shouted in a low voice.

"Yeah." Qin Huairu needed money now, so she asked her aunt to borrow it. Qin Huairu herself felt embarrassed, and her aunt wouldn't let Qin Huairu give the money to Jia Dongxu, but Jia Dongxu would take it himself...
