Chapter 247 Li Dongshan’s Intentions
Pan Changqing's statement was unanimously agreed by experts.
Their living standards are quite good now. Before coming here, flour was a luxury, meat, eggs, and milk were out of the question. But now? They have everything.
Especially in recent times, Ren, the new educated youth in Liushutun, has a special interest in studying food and often comes up with new products, such as cakes, sausages, etc. Xiao Xie often brings them from the team for them to eat.
You know what, it tastes pretty good.
They wanted to give him money, but Ren Zhiqing refused to accept it.
Xiao Xie explained that Ren Zhiqing was conducting food research and would open a food factory once the formula was mature. "You are all volunteers for our comrade Xiuzhen. Help her taste the new products, evaluate their taste, and offer suggestions for improvement."
Xiao Xie also said that one day, social order will be re-established and everyone will be able to return to their familiar jobs and work hard. At that time, "food factories will need to promote their products and sell them nationwide and worldwide. We'll say, 'Hey, this is the food that the most outstanding and talented scientists like.' Then our products will sell like crazy!"
Xiao Xie's words were exaggerated and funny, and they laughed so hard that their eyes turned red.
This kid, and the young educated youth Ren, are just trying to make these old guys happy.
They have nothing but a brain and a heart now. If they were a person who only cared about money, they would have stayed away from them long ago. How could they be so kind to them and even try their best to send them delicious food?
They sincerely hope that what Xiao Xie said will come true one day. When that happens, they will personally tell everyone that they spent the most unforgettable years of their lives in Taoyuan Commune. The food here is delicious, the water is especially good, and most importantly, the people here are really great.
They said they were undergoing reform and that they were working for free, but in reality, it was almost like they were living in a sanatorium. Their food, clothing, housing and transportation were taken care of, and the commune had specially hired people to help. All they had to do was eat their fill and do research for the country.
This is actually their ideal life. Apart from research, they don't have to worry about anything else.
They knew Li Dongshan was feeling guilty and aggrieved, but there was no need for that. He certainly shouldn't let that guilt lead him to self-destructive behavior at the expense of public service. This was a particularly serious issue. They considered Li Dongshan their junior, a healthy, strong man who should focus on his work and shine.
Zheng Shuhua and Zhao Yingjie turned around and took out money to give to Li Dongshan. They had been rehabilitated, their wages had been backpaid, and they also had a pension to receive every month, so they were not short of money.
Zheng Shuhua said, "Think of these as something we asked you to buy. Keep the money. Don't buy anything else in the future."
Use it to fill the hole.
Pan Changqing said: "No, no, no, you can still buy some rice."
Everyone:"……"
Li Dongshan immediately saw through their thoughts and said, "Don't worry, I haven't done anything bad. I won't do anything illegal or disorderly! I am a seasoned warrior of steel. The interests of the country and the collective are above all else. I will never do anything that would harm the collective interest because of anyone or anything.
We bought these things privately, without spending any factory money. We simply asked a colleague on a business trip to help us buy them. And it wasn't just me who paid for them; the entire factory leadership team chipped in. A few of us old friends agreed to each contribute one-fifth of our monthly salary to establish a small fund to improve everyone's lives.
My boyfriend came up with this idea. I thought it was great, so I told a few of my old colleagues at the factory, and they all supported it. Their families also supported it, and everyone chipped in. I'm now kicking myself for not thinking of this sooner.
Please don't refuse. This is what we should do. Otherwise, I would feel really bad and anxious. This little money will not affect our lives. Don't worry."
Pan Changqing patted Li Dongshan on the shoulder and said, "Forget about the other things, you really don't need to buy ginseng."
Everyone:"……"
Li Zhixin said, "Director Li, your Rencheng Tractor Factory is very good."
Li Dongshan: "..."
Everyone:"……"
Li Zhixin then said to Xie Yun, "Do you want to write a letter to Deputy Director Qian, asking him to learn from Director Li?"
Xie Yun said, "Deputy Director Qian has already heard your call from the distant provincial capital. He is cursing and gritting his teeth in his heart, 'Thank you, Xiao Li, and thank you for eight generations of your ancestors!'"
She immediately performed a Qian Daguang imitation show, and the audience laughed so hard that they fell over.
Xie Shen was particularly enthusiastic, clapping and saying, "Sister, if I hadn't opened my eyes and only listened to the voice, I would have thought it was really Mr. Qian who came."
☆
Xie Yun was going to ask Secretary Xia for help. She sorted out the process and decided that this matter had to be carried out step by step and could not be done across levels.
So we still have to call Secretary Li, Secretary Zou, and then take Li Dongshan with us, and let him drive the new car to the provincial capital.
After thinking about it, she decided to bring two more people: Wang Huaqing and Secretary Yang.
Bringing Party Secretary Yang along was, of course, to capitalize on his friendship with Secretary Xia, and bringing Wang Huaqing along was to give her the opportunity to visit her nephew in the provincial capital.
Aunt Huaqing's nephew works at the Provincial Finance Department and is already married with children. For his own safety, and because there are no public holidays, he usually only visits his aunt once every two or three years, and his trips are usually rushed, wishing he could make the round trip on the same day.
Under these circumstances, he couldn't bring his wife and children back with him. For Aunt Hua Qing, not having met her niece-in-law and nephews must have been quite a pity.
This time I was driving myself, so I decided to take her along. Of course, that was on condition that Aunt Huaqing wanted to go herself.
She first went to the county and told Secretary Li about her ideas.
Old Li is very receptive to her work style of planning ahead, taking precautions, solving problems to the greatest extent possible, avoiding worsening of the situation and radiating to more areas.
As soon as Xie Yun said that, he understood that this was an attempt to continue to build momentum so that this matter would receive attention for a longer period of time, rather than having a half-hearted start and no end.
"Okay, go."
Xie Yun added, "Then you can go to Rencheng and ask Secretary Zou for help. I will go directly to the provincial capital."
"You won't come with me?"
"I went back to Liushu Village to pick up Secretary Yang and Aunt Huaqing. I took them to the county, then to the city, and then to the provincial capital. It was such a hassle."
Secretary Yang was in poor health, and Aunt Huaqing had never ridden in a car or traveled far. It didn't matter if the three of them walked fast or slow on the road. If they walked with everyone, Secretary Yang and Aunt Huaqing would feel embarrassed.
Secretary Li understood immediately and nodded. "You make sense. Then let's do as you say and go our separate ways."
