Chapter 132 Let’s talk about building a factory
Director Yan bought two big roosters from a family that raised roosters, stewed a large pot of them with potatoes, and added some cold tomatoes and cucumbers, stir-fried eggplants and beans, and fried eggs with green onions. The staple food was the farmer's special mixed flour steamed buns.
During the meal, Director Yan asked Qian Gaoyun to come along, but she refused, saying it was a government meal and she would go back and eat with Qing Li and Qing Hong.
Director Yan was almost amused by this blockhead. "You'll have to pay for your food later. Your father has finally come here, wouldn't it be proper for you not to accompany him?"
Qian Gaoyun had no choice but to sit next to Qian Daguang, commenting while eating, "This potato stewed chicken must be Aunt Huaqing's work, this stewed eggplant must be made by Aunt Zhou, and the scrambled eggs with green onions and the cold dish are made by Director Yan..."
Qian Daguang picked up a piece of chicken thigh for her and said with a smile, "Are you here to eat a hundred-family meal?"
Qian Gaoyun smiled and said, "Everyone likes me. Whenever someone makes something delicious, they always ask me to come and have a bite."
"How can you be so kind?"
"hey-hey."
Qian Daguang also smiled. Only now did he feel completely relieved.
After dinner, he, accompanied by Director Yan and Xie Yun, went with Qian Gaoyun to see where she lived.
Director Yan said to her, "Hurry up and remind Qingli and the others that guests are coming."
"Why."
Qian Gaoyun agreed and ran away.
After she left, Director Yan told Qian Daguang, "We have a courtyard specially prepared for female educated youth, but since Xiao Qian is the only female educated youth right now, I'm not sure if she'll live there alone. So, I'll arrange for her to live with Qingli and Qinghong. There will only be the two sisters at home, no one else."
After a pause, she continued, "To be honest with you, there are still some bad habits in our countryside. Some families value sons over daughters and want to marry off their daughters to collect betrothal gifts so that they can find wives for their sons. Qingli and her parents wanted to marry Qinghong to a lesser-known man, but the two sisters refused to give in and separated from their parents.
The team allocated them a residential plot and helped them build a house, which was just built this spring.
The two sisters are both very good and independent. Qingli studied veterinary medicine and currently attends night school. She is dedicated to improving herself and protects her sister. Her elder sister Qinghong has a kind personality and is also very protective of her younger sister. She also attends night school and is becoming more and more resilient.
I have to say something unpleasant, Xiao Qian's personality is too simple. She should live with girls like Qingli and Qinghong to become more tough.
Qian Daguang smiled and said, "You're very thoughtful. This child has been spoiled by me and her mother and is indeed a little ignorant of the sufferings of the world. When she wanted to go to the countryside, I disagreed. But the child is stubborn and I couldn't persuade her. Fortunately, she came here. If she were to go to another place, I don't know how much hardship she would have endured."
As they were talking, the three of them arrived at Qingli's house.
Wang Qingli was a very generous girl. She asked Director Qian to sit down and poured him some water. She said sincerely, "Gao Yun is staying with us. Don't worry, I will definitely not let anyone bully her. I will protect her the same way I would protect my sister and myself."
Qian Daguang smiled and said, "I believe you! If you have any problems in the future, just write to me and I will definitely help you if I can."
"You have been a great help. The books you sent me will keep me going for a while."
It was she who instigated Qian Gaoyun to write a letter asking for the book, but she didn't expect that she would ask her father to go there in person. Since she was sincere, she would definitely give her the same reward.
Qian Gaoyun said to Qian Daguang, "Dad, look at my room. Before I came, Qingli and Qinghong each had a room. After I came, Qinghong gave me her room. She and Qingli shared one, and I had one by myself. It's more spacious this way. Look at my tables, chairs, and boxes. They were all newly made after I came here, so everyone can take care of me. Don't worry, you and Mom. I'm going to make a career here before I go back."
Binbin said, "Comrade Yan will definitely be able to research high-yield wheat varieties, and our institute will definitely become famous throughout the country. I also want to be a teacher here and train many outstanding talents."
Qian Daguang patted her head and said with a smile, "Okay! Dad supports you. If you have anything, just write to me or call me at the post office. My daughter is ambitious, so I must support her!"
In the afternoon, Qian Daguang left Taoyuan Commune and went to the county, accompanied by Xie Yun, Secretary Li and Director Zhong.
They went straight to the county party committee and found Secretary He.
"What brings you here?"
Xie Yun: "Dongfeng. Dongfeng brings greater prosperity to our motherland, and Dongfeng allows our Qushui County and Taoyuan Town to develop faster and better."
Qian Daguang twitched his lips. Although they had not been dealing with each other for a long time, he already had a good understanding of this girl.
On the surface, this child is very similar to her daughter, and they know the ideas and quotations by heart. The difference is that her daughter believes in these things from the bottom of her heart, while this girl treats these things as tools and weapons. She has her own ideas in her mind, and she just uses them to achieve her own goals.
When will his daughter be able to be so flexible?
At first, He Zeshan only saw Secretary Li and Director Zhong, two people he was familiar with. It was the first time he met Xie Yun and Qian Daguang.
He casually said something to Li Zhong and the other guy, but he didn't expect that the person who responded was this young comrade.
"Who are these two?"
Secretary Li smiled and said, "This is Xie Yun, our commune's new propaganda officer. This is Director Qian of the Provincial Fertilizer Plant, and the father of Qian Gaoyun, the educated youth who went to work in the countryside with us."
He explained the partnership between the fertilizer plant and Liushutun, and also Xie Yun's suggestion that Qushui County establish a fertilizer plant. "Director Qian can provide a lot of help."
He Zeshan immediately shook Qian Daguang's hand and said, "This is really a timely help! I have been thinking about building a fertilizer plant this year. With your help, it will definitely go much more smoothly."
Qian Daguang: “…”
Your Qushui County is really good at climbing up the ladder from top to bottom.
He smiled and said, "It's all for the development of the country and serving the people."
He Zeshan: “…”
As expected of someone from the province, his nice words always sound good.
Next, everyone talked about setting up a fertilizer plant.
Xie Yun was taking notes nearby.
When she first made that suggestion, it was just a casual remark. She said that running a fertilizer plant is not that simple. It is not enough to just have a house and people. It also requires machines and materials, and many issues need to be considered. It is definitely not something that can be achieved easily.
According to Qian Daguang's calculations, to build a fertilizer plant with an annual output of 3,000 tons of synthetic ammonia, the construction time alone would be more than one to two years, and the total cost would be more than two million to three million.
He Zeshan was not quite sure. Qushui County definitely could not come up with this amount of money. Could he get it by applying to the provincial government?
Qian Daguang smiled and said, "Let Xiao Xie write the application. As long as it's well written, there's still great hope. The importance of fertilizer plants to agricultural production is self-evident. Now that the whole country is supporting agriculture, this might be a good opportunity. Let's give it a try."
He Zeshan nodded and asked Xie Yun: "Xiao Xie, can you write one first?"
"good!"
As far as she knew, there was a small boom in the construction of fertilizer plants in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and she was lucky enough to catch it!
