Chapter 157 He'll behave after being disciplined.
Zhao Limin's sudden appearance startled Li Dazhuang, so much so that he couldn't speak fluently.
"No, manager, you've misunderstood. It's not like that, it really isn't like that."
This guy has almost forgotten how to speak.
"Not like that? If not like that, then what is it? All I see is you not doing any work, just arguing with people."
Li Dazhuang, let me ask you this: are you capable of doing this job?
If you can't do the job, go home and take care of your kids. Don't just sit here taking up space without doing anything.
Can you take responsibility for delaying winter transportation production?
"If because of you, our timber harvesting volume is delayed, and we don't get the advanced unit award, what will you use to compensate us?"
Zhao Limin didn't care about any of that. His face darkened, and he gave Li Dazhuang a good scolding.
This terrified Li Dazhuang so much that he shrank his neck and lowered his head, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"Just tell me, can you do a good job?"
If you're capable, then work hard here. If you're not, I'll replace you immediately.
Don't think the forest farm can't function without you. Let me tell you, our forest farm's winter production will continue as usual, no matter who's gone.
Zhao Limin didn't care about any of that. He grabbed Li Dazhuang and asked him whether he could actually do the job.
"Yes, yes, manager, I can do it, I promise I'll do a good job."
What could Li Dazhuang dare to say? He could only nod repeatedly, saying "yes" several times in a row.
"Alright, then let's see how you perform. If you don't do a good job, you can go back to Qinglin."
Zhao Limin's visit was merely a warning to Li Dazhuang; he couldn't actually fire him.
Back then, Li Dabai was even worse at work than his son, but he still managed to retire.
Li Dazhuang took over his father's job and became a state-owned worker.
Li Dazhuang can only be dismissed if he commits a particularly serious mistake or breaks the law.
The rest, at most, are transferred to work sections that pay little and are extremely tiring.
For example, the forest clearing workers or loading workers that Zhao Limin mentioned are the kind of workers who don't earn much money and whose work is extremely tiring.
When Li Dazhuang heard that he was to be transferred to Qinglin, he thought that would exhaust him.
This was terrible! So he grabbed a chainsaw and ran off to work.
Zhao Limin waved his hand, signaling everyone to disperse.
"Alright, go do what you're supposed to do, don't join in the fun here."
"Thank you, Uncle Zhao. Oh dear, if you hadn't come over, I really wouldn't have been able to handle him."
Sheng Xiping stepped forward with a grateful expression to express his thanks to Zhao Limin.
It's not that we can't deal with Li Dazhuang, but in this situation, we have to let the leaders know.
"Xiping, this is also my fault. I didn't consider so many things when I was arranging the work."
Li Dazhuang approached me first, saying he wanted to join your work team. I really didn't expect him to come here to slack off and cause trouble.
Sun Hanwu, the production scheduler, walked up to Sheng Xiping, patted him on the shoulder, and said with an embarrassed expression.
“Brother Sun, this is not your fault. I’ve seen him do a decent job in previous years.”
Even if they're not fast, they shouldn't be so lazy and unhelpful.
We mostly do manual lumber collection and stacking here; actually, all you need is a regular saw operator to keep up with the demand.
We don't need someone who works too fast; as long as he's willing to work, there won't be any problems. So your arrangement is fine.”
Can Sheng Xiping say that the production scheduling was bad? He must say that it was very reasonable; it was just that Li Dazhuang was messing around.
Upon hearing this, Sun Hanwu breathed a sigh of relief. He was genuinely worried that Zhao Limin might get angry and hold him accountable later.
Now that the matter has been resolved, Li Dazhuang has gone to work. There are still many things to do at the camp dispatch room, so Zhao Limin and Sun Hanwu shouldn't linger here.
So the two of them gave Sheng Xiping some instructions, telling them to pay attention to safe and standardized production, and not to rush things and cause any accidents.
After Zhao Limin's reprimand, Li Dazhuang became much more restrained.
Although they weren't exactly diligent, they worked quite fast under the urging of Wang Jianshe and Zhang Zhijun.
Just as Sheng Xiping said, this is all about manpower to gather materials, relying entirely on people to carry the wood. It's not even comparable to machines, let alone oxen and horses.
Therefore, Li Dazhuang works a little slower, which is just enough to gather materials later.
If he works too fast and accumulates too much wood, the subsequent lumber collection will not keep up. Once it snows and the wood is buried inside, it will be difficult to find it again.
After a busy day, everyone was exhausted and sore all over by evening.
Then, carrying their tools, they trudged through knee-deep snow and walked out of the mountains back to the mountain camp.
A large canteen was specially built on this side of the mountain, which can accommodate hundreds of people to eat.
During winter production, the workers' food standards are higher than usual.
Rice and steamed buns are refined grains, and the dishes are usually cabbage, tofu, and vermicelli stew, but there are large pieces of pork belly in them.
After a long day of work, I'm exhausted.
When they arrived at the canteen, they would get two spoonfuls of hot cabbage and vermicelli, along with six ounces of rice or three steamed buns. Three or five people would find a place to sit down and slurp down their food.
Once your stomach is full, you immediately feel more energetic, and only then do you have the leisure to chat.
Most of the workers on the front line of forestry production are men. When these men get together, how can things possibly go well?
All sorts of risqué jokes kept popping up, and they talked about anything and everything, no matter how explicit.
When men get together, the only topics they can talk about are women and drinking.
