Nan Yi smiled guiltily and took out a half-cooked potato from his armpit with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Ahem... what is that..."
Ding Qiunan simply ignored him and walked around to the door, "You go ahead, I still have to go see Xiao Zhuang."
"Xiao Zhuang?" Nan Yi smiled. He felt it was a bit ridiculous to name a pig that was about to be slaughtered.
......
Li Qinghe followed Director Liu and Secretary Jiao to the cafeteria and was arranged to sit in the first row. When Liang Ladi saw him, she waved happily.
Li Qinghe also responded with a smile, but the interaction between the two made others gossip, and many people began to whisper.
Fortunately, everyone arrived soon. Director Liu asked everyone to be quiet and began to speak.
“Comrades, our machine repair factory and Nantai Commune are a mutual aid unit combining workers and farmers.
"This year, Nantai Commune overhauled its water conservancy project, and most of the machinery was damaged. Our factory took advantage of our mechanical repair capabilities and sent elite personnel from various departments, including lathes, pliers, riveters, and electric welders, to Nantai Commune to provide assistance."
After that, he gave a passionate speech, and finally stood up excitedly and said loudly: "For our selfless assistance, Nantai Commune has given us an even more selfless return.
"That's it! They sent us a 250-pound fat pig, Zhu Xiaozhuang!!"
“Ohhhh!”
“Ahhhh!”
“Pah, pah, pah!”
The employees below also became excited. Some shouted loudly, some clapped their hands vigorously, expressing their excitement to their heart's content.
"Everyone, pay attention. This is the pig that's coming out!"
"Okay!~"
The audience applauded excitedly again and cheered loudly.
At last, the scene suddenly became quiet, because the person who appeared was not the big fat pig that everyone expected, but a middle-aged man in his thirties with a mushroom head hairstyle, and a kind of honest and simple temperament.
He obviously didn't understand what was going on and walked in with a confused look on his face.
But soon, he realized something was wrong. Everyone looked at him strangely, making him stand there nervously, not knowing what to do.
“Haha~”
After they realized what was happening, all the employees burst into laughter. It was obvious that this person's performance, combined with Director Liu's words, stimulated everyone's laughter.
Director Liu was also a little at a loss. I was calling Zhu Xiaozhuang, why did you come in to join in the fun?
I waved at him, and the man walked over with a nod and bow, then bowed to the employees below with a very humble attitude.
The employees laughed non-stop and kept joining in the fun.
"Alright, alright."
Director Liu pressed his hand to quiet everyone down. The man grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and began to introduce himself, "Dear worker leaders and comrades, I am Cui Dake, a revolutionary member of Nantai Commune."
Director Liu also cooperated by raising his fist and leading the way in shouting slogans.
Cui Dake pointed behind him and said, "Zhu Xiaozhuang behind me is our commune's reward to the worker big brother."
"good!"
The workers began to applaud out of respect, and amid the jubilation, an iron cage was pushed in.
Cui Dake said with a smile: "I just heard from my comrade that this pig weighs 250 kilograms.
"Comrade leader, the numbers are a little wrong."
Director Liu frowned, "The official letter said 250 kilograms. Could it be wrong?"
Cui Dake said with a look of wanting to take credit: "Yes, when the pig was first delivered, it weighed 250 kilograms, but after I fed it for more than ten days on the road, it now weighs 256.8 jin!"
When the workers heard that the pigs had gained a few pounds, they were delighted again.
......
Afterwards, Director Liu commended the workers who had performed outstandingly in this agricultural support campaign. Liang Ladi was successfully selected, but for some reason, she was not happy and just stood up and walked out of the cafeteria.
"well......"
Director Liu was caught off guard by this scene and was a little at a loss.
Secretary Jiao coughed lightly, then he came to his senses and announced the adjournment of the meeting.
He was a little helpless about Liang Ladi. She was a model worker in the factory and also his wife's apprentice. What could he do?
Even if ordinary workers gave him the cold shoulder, he could do nothing about it. Now the workers are in charge. Everyone has the same status but a different division of labor.
Everyone began to disperse, and Li Qinghe stepped forward and said, "Director Liu, is there anything else?"
"It's okay, it's okay. Sorry to have kept Master Li waiting for a long time."
Although the ending was not so perfect, he didn't care so much with Zhu Xiaozhuang around. He was confident that a 250-pound fat pig would definitely make Li Qinghe submit.
But to his disappointment, there seemed to be no fluctuation on Li Qinghe's face. He wondered, isn't this young man excited? This is meat. Are young people so strong nowadays?
This is pork, a very hard-to-buy type of pork. Didn’t you see that the factory leaders are very excited?
"Um, Director Liu, can you arrange a job for me now?"
Director Liu certainly couldn't make such an arrangement. If the steel mill had sent any other electrician over, he would have definitely arranged the work early, and the sooner it was completed the better.
But now this is Li Qinghe, so he will definitely delay it as long as possible.
Those three electricians were all old and all their ties were to the steel mill. It was simply a fantasy to poach them. But Li Qinghe was different. He was young, not even married, and had no ties.
There is still hope of recruiting him to the factory. Since the head office won't send an electrician over, don't blame him for having to work hard on his own.
"No hurry, no hurry now, come on, Master Li, let's talk while we walk."
Director Liu took Li Qinghe and strolled out to the office building.
Opening an office on the second floor, "Master Li, this office will be yours from now on. You just arrived today, so take a look around the factory first, get familiar with it, and prepare for your future work."
Li Qinghe looked at Director Liu with a sincere face and always felt that he had some conspiracy, but it was not easy to refuse his kindness, so he could only agree.
"Okay, thank you Director Liu."
The goal was achieved, and Director Liu quickly took Li Qinghe to familiarize himself with the environment. Then he returned to the director's office and took out a small paper bag from the drawer.
"Master Li, this is the good tea that the leader gave me. Let's try it together."
After saying that, he took two enamel cups and carefully poured tea leaves into them to brew.
It’s no wonder that he is so cautious. Tea is hard to come by these days. After all, there is not enough food to eat, so where is the place to grow tea trees?
After the tea was brewed, Li Qinghe took a sip and nodded. Although he didn't know much about tea, he had drunk a lot of good tea in his previous life and could tell some of them apart. Director Liu's tea was no worse than the one he had drunk in his previous life.
Although tea contains a lot of water, there is still a difference between real good tea and the tea that costs dozens of dollars per pound.
