Chapter 222 Ren Xiuzhen
Li Dongshan returned to Rencheng the next day to speed up the establishment of the factory.
The two engineers stayed behind to learn more about the new engine from Pan Changqing and Xie Yun. Xie Yun was the main instructor, as Pan Changqing was busy with the machine tools and had little time to pay attention.
One of the engineers was about the same age as Li Dongshan, named Mei Dashan, and the other looked to be in his thirties, named Sun Tiejun.
Mei Dashan also came from a military background. He used to be a comrade-in-arms with Li Dongshan. Later, he transferred to the local area. Li Dongshan became the director of Rencheng Tractor Factory, and Mei Dashan was the chief technical officer. He was interested in technology comparison and management, so he started from scratch and managed to become a senior engineer.
Because both his name and Li Dongshan's name contain the word "mountain", they are jokingly called the two mountains of Rencheng Tractor Factory.
He came along this time because if the automobile factory is built in the future, he will transfer to the factory and continue to be the technical director.
Sun Tiejun was assigned to the tractor factory after graduating from university. He has a professional background and is a technical backbone. He will also be transferred to another factory in the future.
These two people complement each other perfectly, one is experienced and calm, the other is knowledgeable and a quick learner.
They stayed in Taoyuan Commune for a full month.
Li Dongshan made several phone calls to urge them to go back.
Even so, they were reluctant to leave. The allure of knowledge was immense, especially for technicians. The two of them had learned so much here that they had completely forgotten what they were doing there, and had no intention of leaving.
Before leaving, they both said, "We'll come back for further study every once in a while."
Xie Yun said, "You can innovate and conduct your own research. If you encounter any problems in practice, you can raise them and we can work together to overcome them and find solutions. This will be more targeted. Also, from the perspective of drivers and practicality, you can list your requirements for what kind of car you need. We will design it based on the needs of this user group."
Mei Dashan patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me."
Sun Tiejun also said: "If you have any problems, call us and tell us what you need done. We will try our best to come over. Even if we can't come, we can send others to help. We can let the veteran experts not work too hard. They can just use their brains and let us do the physical work."
Xie Yun smiled and said, "Why would we need you? The young people from our Taoyuan Commune are all lining up, wanting to help."
Mei Dashan smiled and said, "Yes, we have a good atmosphere here. Anyway, if you have any problems, just call me. If Lao Li can't help, there is still me, Lao Mei. Let me tell you, we both have different connections. Got it?"
If you have nothing to do, just create an opportunity for me to learn, do you understand?
Mei Dashan, a strong man like an iron tower, winked at Xie Yun.
Xie Yun almost went blind on the spot.
She said perfunctorily, "I know."
I know you and Li Dongshan are vying for favor in front of the experts, it's a bit like the imperial concubine and the queen fighting overtly and covertly. Now that the queen is away, you, Imperial Concubine Mei, are the only one in power.
She glanced at Sun Tiejun. This Concubine Sun seemed to be a fence-sitter, leaning towards either the empress or the imperial concubine.
After finally sending the two dawdling people away, Li Zhixin complained to Xie Yun, "Uncle Mei is a bit clueless. With his image, and the way he makes faces, he really has never looked in the mirror."
Xie Yun said: "He has a good understanding of technology."
"Of course, that's what he likes. He used to drive for the commander in the army. Later, given the choice between continuing to drive for the commander and working in construction at the tractor factory, he chose construction. He and my dad are like brothers."
"Are they the kind of brothers who love and hate each other?"
"Right! Look at him just now, he was secretly saying that my dad is no good and he's more capable. Actually, let me tell you, their circles of friends basically overlap."
Xie Yun: “…”
☆
In September 1974, a group of new educated youth came to Qushui County.
The first thing to do after arriving: attend training.
This is an old tradition in the work of educated youth in Qushui County.
The person in charge of the County Youth League Office enthusiastically introduced to everyone the history, current situation and development direction of Qushui County, the work guidelines of the youth league in Qushui County, and the outstanding performance of the previous batches of youth leagues. They were so diligent and hardworking, and regarded the development of Qushui County as their own responsibility. They integrated with the people of Qushui and worked together to create brilliance!
The person in charge encouraged everyone to come to the countryside and perform well, contribute to rural development, and add a highlight to their resumes. In the future, whether they are recommended to go to university, recruited back to the city, or looking for a job locally, as long as they perform well, the brigade, commune and county will give particularly positive evaluations, allowing everyone to get development opportunities more smoothly.
The head of the Youth League Office is very experienced. Although he has been saying these words for several years, they are not formulaic and remain passionate. Moreover, the constant addition of details and examples makes these chicken soups more delicious and persuasive.
A group of young people were all fascinated by what they heard.
Most of them deliberately chose Qushui County as the place to go to the countryside to work, and their families did their best to arrange for them to come here.
In recent years, what Qushui County has done has become well-known throughout the country.
The layman watches the excitement, while the expert watches the details.
Through the vigorous and bizarre surface, many people have glimpsed the meaning and value behind Qushui's development.
Since it is inevitable that the children will go to the countryside to work, we must of course find ways to arrange them to places where they can best train themselves and learn the most, so that they can improve their personal abilities during their time in the countryside and have better development when they return to the city in the future.
Nowadays, people who still have some choice usually come from well-off families.
Of the educated youth who have been sent to Qushui to work in the countryside over the past two years, aside from a few lucky ones who were randomly assigned, the rest all have some background. This indirectly creates a virtuous cycle: the more energetic people gather here, the better for Qushui's development.
The spirits of this group of young people in 1974 all seemed to be very good, sunny, cheerful and positive. They must have been well advised by their elders at home before coming here. Now, listening to the passionate speeches of the staff of the Youth League Office, the expressions on their faces became even more excited and inspired.
Among this group of young people, one face stood out. While everyone else looked happy and excited, she alone was bewildered and puzzled. If you looked closely, you could see a hint of subtle disdain in her eyes, as if she thought these young people were a bit foolish, easily fooled and devoid of any independent thinking.
She had no choice but to go to the countryside, a choice she made after weighing the pros and cons. She was feeling down and frustrated. Who would want to go to the countryside if they could stay in the city? What was wrong with these people? Why did they seem genuinely happy?
