The first major event of this year was the eradication of the four pests, and the second was steelmaking.
Just two days after the newspaper article was published, an empty yard not far from the street behind the grocery store was demolished by the street vendor and a small blast furnace was being built there.
Lin Tian looked at this small stove that was more than two people tall. There were many more on the nearby streets, and people on the streets were advertising nearby.
"Brother Li, good morning!" Lin Tian went to the office and saw Li Wenhua fiddling with something there.
Then he asked, "Brother Li, what are you doing?"
Li Wenhua continued to search without raising his head. As he rummaged through boxes and cabinets, he said, "The first task this morning is to hand over all unnecessary iron products in the store."
Only then did Lin Tian realize that the mission had also arrived at the store.
After searching for a while and finding nothing, Li Wenhua sat back at his desk, drank a sip of water and said, "The leader also said today that the supplies from the store will not arrive so quickly recently, so you don't need to rush to find them. Just focus on making steel recently."
Lin Tian understood that this was a general mobilization of the entire nation. He had only heard of this matter before and really didn't know what it would be like. Now it seems like it is really a big event.
"Then just put other work aside. Have you given us any other tasks?" Lin Tian asked.
"Xie Shushu said this morning that we should take all the iron products in the store to the backyard first, and hand them in unless necessary, and then see how the situation develops," said Li Wenhua.
"It seems that the next task is to complete steelmaking." Lin Tian said.
"Yes." Li Wenhua said.
"So have you figured out the ones in our office?" Lin Tian asked.
Li Wenhua stretched out his hand and said, "It's done, look."
Lin Tian looked at the few iron nails that Li Wenhua had taken out from somewhere.
"That's it?"
“That’s it!”
"Then hand it over. I don't have much to hand in anyway. I can't hand in the teacup as well. Mine is made of enamel." Lin Tian said.
"Don't even think about running away. Go to the warehouse to help later. There are a bunch of broken wires, iron barrels, bottle caps and other things there that need to be dealt with." Li Wenhua said.
"Let us go?" Lin Tian asked.
“During the meeting, Deputy Director Wang Jing said that logistics is just where the things are, and the two people in the warehouse can’t handle it alone,” said Li Wenhua.
"Okay." Lin Tian sighed helplessly. It seemed that he had to work today.
"Let's go, then." Lin Tian said.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Let's go later." Li Wenhua was no longer in a hurry and drank some water.
Lin Tian looked around and saw that the other two hadn't arrived yet. Let's talk about it later. There's no need to rush.
"When I went out in the morning, the street was already notifying every household," said Li Wenhua.
Lin Tian thought about it and realized that the streets were indeed very busy today: "I haven't paid much attention to this matter. Anyway, our compound hasn't notified us yet."
"I just hope my silly wife won't hand over all the pots." Li Wenhua started to worry about his family.
"If you're worried, just go home and have a look."
"Forget it, it's not a big deal." Li Wenhua thought about it and realized that there was nothing much at home.
"I'm so angry!" Wang Mingyu came in and started cursing.
"What's wrong?" Lin Tian asked, and Li Wenhua also looked at Wang Mingyu.
"This morning I found that the bell of my bicycle was missing, and several other parts were also dismantled, but the wheels and the frame were not lost," said Wang Mingyu.
Lin Tian: "Can things be thrown away in your compound?"
"Hmph, I asked someone, and I don't know which group of brats in the compound did it. Don't let me catch them, or I won't let them go!" Wang Mingyu was furious.
"It must be because their school requires you to hand over the iron products, so they dismantled your bicycle. Why don't you hand over the rest to the store?" Lin Tian laughed and said,
"Go to hell, I'll be at a huge disadvantage then." Wang Mingyu was also so angry that he laughed.
"These kids are really active." said Li Wenhua.
"Of course I do. I would even move the pot from home to school just to get praise from the teacher." Lin Tian thought about how he felt the same when he was a child.
After a while, Jiang Shufen also came.
"Let's go." Li Wenhua took the three of them to the warehouse in the back street.
"Where are you going? Where are you going?" Jiang Shufen was quite enthusiastic when she saw that it was a group activity.
"Let you practice with the steel furnace!" Lin Tian said.
"Let me fix it, I can fix it!" Jiang Shufen said arrogantly.
"You can't even fix a damn thing!" Wang Mingyu mocked.
"I'll let Fang Ping teach you a lesson!" Jiang Shufen said viciously.
When Li Wenhua brought the three people to the warehouse, they found that people in other departments were much more enthusiastic than them and the warehouse was almost tidied up.
"Wenhua, you've come at the right time. Send these things to the yard over there where the blast furnace is being repaired. Remember to weigh them and have the street office record them." Deputy Director Wang Jing assigned the tasks directly when he saw Li Wenhua leading people here.
"Jiang Shufen, go and help them clean up. Moving things is not suitable for you," Li Wenhua arranged.
"Let's lift this iron bucket." Wang Mingyu said when he saw several iron buckets full of waste.
After saying that, he went up to try, but found that he couldn't move it at all.
Seeing this, Lin Tian said, "Call a few more people. Two people can't lift this bucket."
After hearing this, Li Wenhua called two more people, and finally five people carried the big iron bucket.
"Slow down, slow down!" someone shouted as they walked.
It took several people a lot of effort to lift it to the place: "One, one, two, one, two, throw it."
"Don't throw it, don't throw it." As soon as it was thrown on the ground, another person from the street came over and said, "Come on, come on, lift it up and hang it on the scale."
"Grocery store, one hundred and eighty kilograms." The street weigher shouted.
"Look, my hands are covered with red marks." Wang Mingyu said as he walked towards the warehouse.
………
"I never expected that there would be so much waste in the warehouse today. I am so exhausted." Lin Tian said after returning to the office and drinking a large jar of water.
"Who said it wasn't?" Li Wenhua didn't expect it either.
"This is good too. I guess it can last for a few days. They probably won't ask us to pay for it for the time being." Lin Tian said.
"That's good, that's good. If you ask me to hand it over again, I will really have to hand over the bicycle." Wang Mingyu said.
"Your bicycle has been dismantled and broken. It might as well be used as scrap metal." Jiang Shufen said jokingly.
"It can be ridden! If it can't be ridden, I'll hand it over." Wang Mingyu said. This time he was even more angry at the bastards who stole his spare parts. He secretly vowed to catch these people.
