In fact, the power supply station had already sent people to restore the steel plant's power supply, but Director Lu felt more at ease with Gao Shujing present, so he sent Deputy Minister Deng to invite people over.
Shen Yan said, "As far as I know, Director Yu has already sent people to the steel plant to restore power. Why are you still looking for Officer Gao?"
Vice Minister Deng said, "We are deeply honored that the power supply station sent people to repair the equipment as soon as the rain stopped."
"But as you know, the steel mill's mission has been disrupted by the shutdown for a few days. We were hoping that if we could send one more person to repair it, we could resume production as soon as possible."
"Comrade Shen came to ask for help, it must be about restoring the power. How about we have Officer Gao come back with me?"
Shen Yan said, "That's true, but my mission is to come and invite someone. Before Director Yu agrees, we can't let Officer Gao go with you."
The fact that Gao Shujing wasn't there didn't affect their competition at all; the two of them argued back and forth over the right to use Gao Shujing.
Yu Rujia beckoned to Dorje and whispered, "Dorje, go find your dad and tell him that people from the steel mill and the power supply station have come to ask him for help. Tell him to come back and take a look."
Dorje was about to step out the door when Yu Rujia turned his small body around: "Go out the back door, don't let the two people fighting outside see you."
After receiving Dorje's message, Gao Shujing put aside his work. Both the power supply station and the steel plant were large units that took priority over the brigades under the commune. Even if he wanted to get the brigades connected to the power first, it would be impossible.
Captain Huang led a group to salvage the crops. Gao Shujing didn't go looking for anyone; instead, he went to the brigade, greeted Secretary Li who was staying in the office, and went home.
When Vice Minister Deng and Shen Yan saw him, they immediately turned their attention to him, urging him to go to his own unit first. As they talked, they even took his hand.
Gao Shujing had no choice but to speak up: "Both of your units are very important, but I am from the commune and need to report to the commune leader. How about you come with me to the commune?"
Knowing that Gao Shujing didn't want to offend anyone, the two went to the commune with him.
Due to limited personnel at the power supply station, repairs for some less important units were scheduled for later. In order to resume production as soon as possible, these units also sent people to the power supply station and to Director Liu's side.
Everyone in the town knew that Director Liu had a capable man named Gao Shujing under his command. With Gao Shujing hired, who cared about the people from the power supply station?
So when Gao Shujing arrived with Vice Minister Deng and Shen Yan, they were surrounded by people before they even saw President Liu, making it impossible for them to move an inch.
President Liu couldn't stand it anymore, so he sent Gao Shujing to the steel plant first, and then sent someone from the steel plant to be taken back to the power supply station by Shen Yan to report back.
With signs of a power struggle emerging, in the following days, when Captain Huang and his men went to report the team's losses to Director Liu, Director Liu said nothing and simply submitted the report to his superiors.
After being reported through multiple levels, the higher authorities took the rain disaster seriously and replied that they would consider it as appropriate.
This means that if it is confirmed at harvest time that the yield in the first half of the year has decreased sharply, the government will consider reducing the amount of grain allocated to the state.
With the above concession, Captain Huang's brows finally relaxed a bit.
The rain had lasted too long, and Yu Rujia had used up some of her pills, so she wanted to take advantage of the good weather to replenish them.
Huang Xiaohua, who didn't have to go to school on the weekend, came over to ask some questions about medical principles and helped make pills.
She studied pharmacology with Yu Rujia for two or three years and became more professional than the other children in the family except for Duoshou.
After resolving her problem, Yu Rujia said, "Xiaohua, go back now. You have your exams coming up soon, so study hard."
Huang Xiaohua started school at the age of eleven, with the idea of studying medicine in mind. She worked very hard in her studies, completing five years of primary school and two years of middle school in a total of five years. At seventeen, she is currently in her first year of high school and will be a sophomore in the fall.
Huang Xiaohua smiled and said, "I've almost finished studying the book's content, so I won't have any problems with the exam. Making medicine is the priority."
From the front yard came Dole's soft, hoarse voice: "Uncle, who are you looking for?"
The older children in the family were all pulled away by Yu Rujia to do chores, leaving Duoji to play with Duole in the front yard and greet anyone who came by.
A steady voice rang out: "Kid, is this Yu's home?"
Dorjee was surprised that people arrived while he was just going in for a drink of water, so he quickly put down his cup and ran out.
Duole had already answered his question: "Yes, my mom." The little guy was small, but he was quick-witted and had memorized all the names of the family members used in public.
Dorje stepped forward and said, "Uncle, are you here to see my mother?"
The man said, "Yes, I am Ma Songhua, an educated youth from Xiafen Brigade. I need to talk to your mother. Is she home?"
Dorjee nodded: "Yes, wait a moment." Then he turned and shouted inside: "Mom, someone is looking for you."
Hearing his voice, Yu Rujia inside put down the herbs in her hand and came out.
Ma Songhua introduced himself again and explained his purpose for visiting.
This man was none other than Captain Xu of the Xiafen Brigade's favorite, a skilled pig farmer who had once helped the Xiafen Brigade successfully stop the Shangfen Brigade from retaining its position as the leading brigade of Dongyuan Commune, making the Xiafen Brigade and the Shangfen Brigade the "twin stars" of Dongyuan Commune.
In order to regain his position as the leader, Huang, the brigade leader, began to give important positions to the educated youth, and luckily met Yu Rujia and Gao Shujing, which made his wish come true.
However, the Xiafen Brigade was not willing to give up and caught up step by step. Now they have raised more than a hundred pigs and have become a well-known pig farm in Dongyuan Commune.
I heard that the number of pigs this year has reached 150, which is no smaller than the pig farm in town.
The torrential rains that lasted for nearly a month left the Xiafen Brigade, located downstream of the river, in a worse situation than the Shangfen Brigade. Not only were their crops severely flooded, but several houses collapsed, and some of their pig farms were also flooded.
The pigs they raise are kept in cramped spaces with limited movement, and the rainy season makes it easy for bacteria to grow, so some of the pigs have already gotten sick.
Ma Songhua is indeed quite capable in pig farming; he can solve most common problems.
The situation is just too bad right now. The pig farming environment is too poor, and Captain Xu is busy saving his crops, so he can't send anyone over to clean up the pig farm.
His medical knowledge was limited, but he thought that Yu Rujia's medical skills were better than those of the people in the town hospital, so he wanted to ask her to go and take a look at the pigs, hoping that she could help improve the current situation.
Ma Songhua said with some difficulty, "Young Master Yu, I know it's difficult for you to ask a doctor who treats patients to go and look after the pigs, but these pigs are really important to our brigade. Could you please make the trip?"
