Returning to 1955, I began a life of lively chaos and leisure in that legendary Siheyuan. Let's see how a modern person can live their own little life by "gouging" (playing it safe/layi...
The next morning, Li Wenhua came back from the meeting and said, "A new task has been assigned today. No one is going to hand in 5 kilograms of iron every day."
"5 jin! I'll go steal it. There's nowhere to steal now. The streets are full of people looking for iron materials!" Wang Mingyu said directly after hearing the task.
"The main thing is that at 5 kilograms a day, that's more than 100 kilograms a month. It's really troublesome to handle. We can't really take out the pot at home." Jiang Shufen said, also feeling a headache.
"I'll see if I can think of a solution, but I guess there are promotions everywhere right now, so the possibility of getting it is not high." Li Wenhua said.
"Hey! If any of you can treat me to a meal, I would consider providing you with some iron materials." Lin Tian said hypocritically while sitting there.
"Really? How much do you have?" Li Wenhua's eyes lit up when he heard Lin Tian say that.
"Really? Really?" Li Wenhua asked hurriedly.
"It must be true. There is no more, but it can help us complete the tasks, so it is still okay." Lin Tian said.
"No problem, no problem. In that case, I'll take care of your lunch in the cafeteria from now on!" Wang Mingyu said very generously. He didn't want to go around the streets looking for iron products.
"Don't worry, getting some waste materials is not a problem." Lin Tian said.
"Is it really okay? What's the market situation like now? Steelmaking is happening everywhere. I asked two friends yesterday and they both said there aren't many left." Li Wenhua asked uncertainly.
"Basically foolproof." In fact, Lin Tian had already collected some.
Because not only yourself, but the whole family has to complete the task. The number of intersections on the streets does not matter, but if you intersection more points in the factory or at work, you can get some rewards, and maybe even get promoted two levels.
Lin Tian was thinking about going home later, delivering some things to his family to hand in the task, and then visiting his brothers' homes.
There is also Master Wang Wujiu's home. Master doesn't need it, but Master has a son.
Moreover, he would have to coordinate his testimony with Wang Wujiu. Lin Tianming definitely had no way of getting so much iron material, but if it was saved by Wang Wujiu, then it would not be surprising.
"Don't worry, Xiaolin, can you really handle it?" Li Wenhua still had some doubts.
Lin Tian took out a broken iron pot from under the table: "This iron pot weighs more than 30 kilograms, which is enough for our task today. I expected this a long time ago. Not bad, isn't it?"
Li Wenhua didn't care where the iron pot came from, and came over to see how Lin Tian hid the iron pot under the table.
Lin Tian patted Li Wenhua: "What are you thinking about!"
"Enough, enough." Li Wenhua said happily.
His goal is not to compete for first or second place, just to complete the task without being criticized.
"Now that today's mission is completed, can I leave now?"
Lin Tian saw that the store was just barely maintaining its business, and there was no point in staying here.
It's a good opportunity for me to go home, visit my master, and go out for a walk.
"Go, go. I'm sending you to find iron products. You are not allowed to come back until you complete the task." Li Wenhua said happily.
"Okay." Lin Tian said and ran away.
After riding out of the store, Lin Tian decided to go to his master Wang Wujiu first.
"Master? Why are you at home?" Lin Tian asked curiously as soon as he entered the yard. He originally wanted to go out to look for him.
"Hey, kid, why can't I stay at home?" Wang Wujiu didn't want to hear Lin Tian say that.
"I just thought that you might have gone out for a walk." Lin Tian explained.
"Isn't steelmaking going on everywhere recently? No one wants to play with your master, so he can only stay at home." The master's wife told the truth.
"Haha." Lin Tian laughed out loud immediately.
Then he continued, "I came here to ask big brother if he wanted some iron materials. There are promotions everywhere now, and I have some."
"No, they are a special department and don't need that thing." Wang Wujiu answered simply.
"Huh?" Lin Tian was curious. When did his master start to care about this?
Wang Wujiu knew from Lin Tian's expression that he was secretly criticizing him, and continued, "I noticed that many people have been looking for iron products these past two days, so I asked your eldest brother if he needed any."
"Our old house was rented to a man who made kitchen knives, but it was robbed by a group of deserters before the founding of the People's Republic of China. There is a lot of iron materials left in the yard. I wanted to sell it before, but then I forgot about it."
Lin Tianxin said, I haven’t even said anything yet, but the master has already found the source of the iron material, which is so thoughtful.
"Then let me help you deal with it, Master." Lin Tian took the initiative to say.
"Okay, I'll go get the key from Master's wife later. It's useless to keep it anyway, so it's better to hand it in." Wang Wujiu said.
"Thank you, Master." Lin Tian said.
"Why did you think of coming to see me today?" Wang Wujiu asked.
"I was just thinking of asking you if you wanted some iron materials, but I didn't expect to get a bargain from you, haha." Lin Tian said with a smile.
"What does it matter whether it's cheap or not? There's no use keeping those things. It's better to make some contribution." Wang Wujiu waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
"Master, I'll leave first and come to see you another day. I still have to go home to visit others." Lin Tian said.
"Go, go." Wang Wujiu waved his hand.
Lin Tian asked his master's wife for the key and left the Wang family, then found the old house of the Wang family.
After entering the warehouse and looking around, he found that it was full of high-quality iron ingots, weighing as much as four to five thousand kilograms. Lin Tian simply stored them all into the space.
Then he found a piece of wood weighing over 100 kilograms, tied it to the back of his bicycle and went home.
"Grandma, my mom and the others are not at home, right?" Lin Tian asked.
"They are not at home." said Grandma Lin.
"Oh, I came back for just one thing. I put a large piece of iron inside the gate of the courtyard. Tell them when they come back to hand it in. I'll deliver it again in two days. Also, I'll send some to my eldest brother and second brother later." Lin Tian said.
Eldest brother Lin Dong.
Second brother Lin Hai.
My eldest cousin Lin Tao.
Second cousin Lin Hao.
Lin Tian put more than 100 kilograms of iron materials in each family, which should be enough for them to use for a few days. It is up to them how to pay.
Afterwards, Lin Tian wandered around the streets of the capital and found small earthen blast furnaces for steelmaking everywhere.
Looking from afar, there were plumes of black smoke everywhere, and then there was a very strong smell of burning charcoal mixed with the smell of burning coal.
The streets are full of students looking for scrap metal. I guess the school has given the students a holiday today to allow them to have some activities.
Lin Tian walked around twice and thought that since there was nothing else to do, he might as well go back to the compound. The compound was always lively whenever there were activities.
