Life in Lianhua Brigade was better this year than last year.
Every household had savings, and if they didn't have cloth coupons, they would exchange them with others or buy cloth from others. Before the New Year, they made new clothes for all the children in the family.
Kids love to compare themselves to others; how could it be that you have something I don't?
When adults have money, they tend to fulfill their children's requests.
So when Lin Yu saw the children this year, they were all chubby and fair-skinned, wearing new clothes, and each one looked clever and cute.
This shows that every household in the Lianhua Brigade has had a very good harvest this year.
Everyone was very grateful to the food factory, especially to Lin Yu, who was the leader.
Lin Yu accepted everyone's praise and felt very happy, but she also knew that she was not doing enough at the moment.
Her goal was to establish a large factory with a thousand employees, capable of absorbing the unemployed labor force of the entire Qingshan Commune.
At first, all she wanted was to help her uncle so that the members of the brigade could have more income.
The workshop gradually grew in size, which was actually a natural progression.
But ever since the factory was officially established, Lin Yu has been pondering the true meaning of this factory.
The factory is currently able to solve the employment and income problems of the Lianhua Brigade members. If it stops there, there won't be any major issues.
However, after hiring employees from other brigades, Lin Yu clearly saw that there were many people who were living worse than the people from the previous Lotus Brigade.
They cherish this job, even though it takes them one or two hours to walk to the factory every day.
They have to get up before dawn and by the time they get home, the moon is already high in the sky.
If this kind of job were done in later generations, people would call the boss a heartless capitalist.
But in this day and age, there are no capitalists in society, only state-owned enterprises and factories run by the community.
Give them a job and a stable income, and they will be willing to dedicate all their energy to it.
Upon seeing them, Lin Yu became even more determined to set her sights on the entire Qingshan Commune.
We must ensure that everyone in the surrounding brigades can live a prosperous life like those in Lianhua Brigade.
Of course, these were just her ideals, and she kept her wishes to herself.
......
Meanwhile, in the northern part of the city, Lin Laosan's ideal was also in the process of being realized.
"Research Base 529 has lived up to its mission." Lin Shengli, as the representative, was about to hand over the project results to the military.
The information was kept confidential before it was transferred, and each person had a different confidentiality label.
Only they themselves have the ability to crack it.
This meant that even after they arrived at headquarters, it would take them several days and nights to decipher and integrate the data before they could present the final result.
When the chief engineer of the military factory met them and heard about their research findings, he stood up and applauded.
"Thank you so much. If it weren't for you breaking through this technology, we would still be being held back by the West."
Previously, they were unable to manufacture this technology themselves and had to purchase parts from the West.
If war breaks out again, the West will inevitably hold us hostage.
Therefore, starting more than a decade ago, they began recruiting talent from universities to join the project team to research this technology.
Several project teams were initially established, but only Lin Shengli—who was still a young man at the time—achieved initial results.
Therefore, the military decided to appoint him as the chief engineer of the project team and to appoint Chen Zhinian, who had been assisting him, as his assistant.
The formation of the project team was confidential, so they were given numbers.
One is 01, and the other is 02.
Later, a formal research base was established.
Lin Shengli humbly said, "I also thank you for your support over the years, which has given us the environment for research."
The chief engineer's name is Jiang Zhonghua. He was born in the old society and is an old revolutionary. He has been dedicated to the military industry for many years.
Lin Shengli's research was of great help to him, so he invited several members of the 529 project team home for dinner.
His home was also in the military factory's residential compound, which was very safe.
These people all come from STEM backgrounds and aren't very good at talking.
Of them, only Lin Shengli was good at socializing.
"Now that everything has been settled, let's introduce the name."
"This is He Daomin, codename Black Cat. This is Wu Hongying, Xie Wenzhou, and this is White Fox, Huang Shuixian."
Jiang Zhonghua shook hands with them: "Thank you for your contributions. You've worked hard all these years."
The group replied that it wasn't hard work.
But they have indeed gone through many hardships and obstacles to get to where they are today.
Research work not only tests a person's physical abilities, but also their psychological resilience.
If it weren't for their unwavering belief that sustained them through more than a decade of living in anonymity, they would have collapsed long ago.
Jiang Zhonghua also mentioned Xie Xinyu: "I've heard about what happened to your child. The staff below didn't do their job properly, which has upset the child."
The hero's child should have been properly taken care of, but instead she ended up like this; it's all because the grassroots work wasn't done well.
Xie Wenzhou shook his head and said, "No one expected things to turn out this way."
Who would have thought that Wu Hongying's seemingly kind and gentle mother would be so indifferent to her daughter's plight?
Who would have thought that the brothers and their wives, who originally had a good relationship, would end up like this?
As soon as the news of their deaths came, they thought of eating the leftovers.
Ultimately, it was the fault of the couple; they shouldn't have entrusted their child to anyone else.
But what can we do?
Sacrificing one's own family for the greater good—this is their belief.
The people present had given up many precious things for this belief.
