Lin Tian just got home and his butt wasn’t even warm yet.
Secretary Wu came to the door.
"Xiao Lin is at home!" Officer Wu was followed by several staff members from the street office.
"Secretary Wu is busy there, what is the matter that brought you here?" Lin Tian asked.
"Well, we have mobilized residents in our street to hand over iron products. If they hand in more, they can get some rewards." Secretary Wu said.
"Any requests?" Lin Tian asked.
"No, just try your best." said Secretary Wu.
"Okay, Secretary Wu, don't worry. I will definitely fully support the work of the street."
"Thank you, Xiaolin. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." said Secretary Wu.
"Have a nice walk, Director Wu!" Lin Tian said politely.
But it was obvious that Lin Tian was happy too early.
In the evening, Liu Guangtian came over to inform that a meeting would be held in a while.
After hearing the notice, Lin Tian carried his small stool to the central courtyard.
After a short while, everyone in the compound arrived.
Lin Tian originally thought that today's meeting would be similar to usual ones, and that Secretary Wu would be the one presiding over it.
However, Lin Tian looked around and did not see Secretary Wu.
When Secretary Wu called a meeting of everyone in the compound, he would not wait until the last minute like the three uncles did before.
Secretary Wu usually arrives early for meetings and waits for everyone to arrive.
"Director Wu has something to do today, so I will be in charge of convening today's meeting." said the second uncle Liu Haizhong.
"Uncle, you must be very tired after a day's work. If you have something to say, just tell me now." Sha Zhu said very dissatisfiedly.
"Shazhu, why are you the only one who talks so much? Are you dissatisfied with the country's policies?" Liu Haizhong came up and put a big accusation on Shazhu.
But Yi Zhonghai couldn't just stand there and said, "Shazhu, why don't you quickly apologize to the Second Uncle? What are you talking about?"
Yi Zhonghai couldn't just watch this big hat being put on Sha Zhu's head, otherwise if the news got out, Sha Zhu would be criticized.
"I'm sorry, Second Uncle." Sha Zhu was not really stupid. He immediately bowed his head and apologized to Liu Haizhong.
Liu Haizhong was very dissatisfied. He looked at Yi Zhonghai and then at Sha Zhu.
In the end, he didn't say anything more. He was used to the disrespect from these two people.
"Today's meeting will discuss two things. Everyone knows that the street is currently holding a steel-making campaign." Liu Haizhong shouted.
"The higher-ups have also given us a task. Every household must contribute their own strength. The task given to our compound is to hand in 100 kilograms first."
Lin Tian was secretly thinking about the fact that the policies changed every day. In the morning, they said there were no requirements, but now Liu Haizhong had a meeting and there were tasks.
But this is understandable. No matter how much the people want to actively participate, if there are no task indicators, it will be in vain and many people will not actively participate in it.
"So let's discuss this matter and see how to divide the 100 kilograms. Of course, I'll say this in advance, and the street office has also said that there will be rewards for individuals and compounds with outstanding contributions."
Liu Haizhong spoke for a long time but no one said anything.
"Since no one is talking, I've decided to divide it based on the number of people," said Liu Haizhong.
But as soon as Liu Haizhong finished speaking, someone spoke up, "No!" Yan Fugui shouted.
In fact, most people in the compound had no objection to how the property was divided.
With so many people, each person can barely get a few pounds. Besides, all the people in the compound work in the steel rolling mill, so there are a lot of miscellaneous ironware at home. It is more than enough to pick up some scraps to cope with the job.
However, there are special cases, such as Yan Fugui's family, where Yan Jiecheng has just started working not long ago.
In addition, Yan Fugui was a stingy person and he would usually sell the iron materials he saved at the scrap collection station.
"Then how do you say we should divide it?" Liu Haizhong was very dissatisfied with Yan Fugui's suggestion.
"I suggest that everyone contribute their efforts if they have the strength, and contribute their iron if they have the iron. It is not appropriate to distribute it directly like this." Yan Fugui was very cunning. He didn't want to contribute any iron at all.
"Does anyone have any other opinions?" Liu Haizhong looked at everyone and asked.
"Uncle, you can contribute if you are able, but if you fail to complete the task, our civilized compound will probably be gone. Who will it be then?" Xu Damao spoke up and confronted Yan Fugui.
"Whoever contributes less will be dealt with when the time comes!" Liu Haizhong said sternly.
"Second uncle, let's not divide it by the number of people, but by the number of households." Yan Jiecheng also expressed his opinion.
"I don't agree. Why should it be divided by household? There are only two people in my family, but some families have four or five people. I see some people who just don't want to contribute to the country and just think about taking advantage every day!" Xu Damao started talking again.
"Xu Damao, don't always exaggerate." Yan Fugui retorted.
"Then why don't you agree to divide it based on headcount?" Xu Damao asked.
"It's not that I disagree, it's just that I think some people may disagree." Yan Fugui said righteously.
"Then who do you say disagrees?" Xu Damao looked around at everyone in the compound.
Yan Fugui also looked around at everyone in the compound.
In fact, people in the compound don’t care about those trivial things at all, and everyone is still willing to actively participate in activities organized by the street.
It's not like they're sending money abroad, so people don't think it's a bad thing to pack up the rags at home and throw them out on the street. It's also a contribution to the country.
It’s just that Yan Fugui is used to being stingy, so he has to create some trouble.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and divide it by person. There are a total of 100 kilograms. Calculate it yourself. If it is not enough, find a way quickly." Liu Haizhong could only say this as he looked at the mess in the compound.
Then Liu Haizhong calculated for a long time, but his education was not very good, so he couldn't figure it out after calculating for a long time.
Finally, I could only say, "Everyone in the compound should hand in two kilograms. The extra will be kept for later. If anyone hands in a particularly large amount, I will report it to the street office."
"Okay, let's adjourn the meeting." Liu Haizhong felt that he didn't understand what was going on, and that some of the things that didn't match his elementary school education made him lose focus, so he simply let everyone go.
The crowd was just about to disperse.
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! There is one more thing, but I forgot to say it because you interrupted me." Liu Haizhong said hurriedly.
"The street office has asked all the factories to actively participate in the steel-making campaign, so every factory has to send people to keep the blast furnaces running 24 hours a day."
"Let's send the young men from our compound! Shazhu, Xu Damao, Lin Tian, Yan Jiecheng, Zhua Jia, Zhua Yi."
"Tomorrow morning I will take you all to the street office to report, and the street office will issue you a certificate."
