Although Wang Jiachuan is being transferred, he still has work to hand over, so he has to go to the farm headquarters these days and doesn't have time to work at home.
His wife is all alone, and with so many things to organize and manage in the house, she's really busy, which is why Sheng Xiping said that.
"Oh, okay, then if your aunt is too busy tomorrow, just call them."
Wang Jiachuan didn't stand on ceremony with Sheng Xiping and nodded in agreement.
The next day, Sheng Liancheng and his son went to work after breakfast. Zhang Shuzhen sent Sheng Xikang and his younger siblings to help Wang Jiachuan with tidying up.
The Wang family has only been in Qianchuan Forest Farm for four years, which is nothing compared to those who have settled there permanently, and they don't have much to their name.
The house belongs to the government, and they have to vacate it for the new leader and his family.
Clothes and luggage were all packed up, pots and pans were put away, and there wasn't much rice, flour, or cooking oil. I took what I could, and gave away what I couldn't.
As for other things like firewood and storage rooms, the forest farm has no shortage of them.
Wang Jiachuan originally intended to leave it for the new Party Secretary, but his wife was unhappy and simply gave it to the neighbors.
Three days later, Wang Jiachuan handed over his work to the new secretary and also took care of things at home.
The forest farm arranged a motorcycle to take Wang Jiachuan and his wife to Songjianghe first, and then the Songjianghe Forestry Bureau arranged a large truck to take them and their belongings to Tanghe Forestry Bureau.
When the people of the forest farm learned that Wang Jiachuan was leaving, many went to the station to see him off.
"Secretary Wang, no matter where you go, remember to come back and visit often. This is also your home."
"Give us a call when you get there, so we don't worry about you," someone said.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely call and write back when I get there. If you have time, come find me at Tanghe Forestry Bureau. I'll treat you to a meal then."
Wang Jiachuan smiled and said goodbye to everyone before getting into his motorcycle.
The motorcycle driver started the vehicle and drove Wang Jiachuan and his wife away from the small train station. Wang Jiachuan stretched out of the car window and waved to the crowd.
"Go back now, write to me when you have time." The car drove away quickly and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Sigh, Secretary Wang is a really good person. He is capable and kind to people. To be honest, I really miss him."
I wonder what this new Party Secretary will do next. Sigh.
Once the motorcycle had disappeared from sight, everyone turned around and walked back, sighing and lamenting as they went.
"Hey, who cares about that? We work a day and get paid for a day. As long as they don't deduct my wages, I don't care what they do."
"If he affects my ability to make money, hey, then we'll have to talk about it." Some people didn't care.
So what if there's a new leader? A new leader is still a person. We all work in the forestry system. Nobody has an extra head. What's there to be afraid of?
"That salary is paid by the government, what does it have to do with him? We just do our work, get paid at the end of the month, and that's it. Who cares who's the Party Secretary, right?"
"Yes, yes, that's exactly it." Everyone agreed and walked home together.
For ordinary workers, whether or not their superiors change doesn't really have much impact; they just continue working and receiving their wages as usual.
But no one expected that Feng Baosheng, the newly appointed secretary of the forest farm, would actually start these three fires.
Under the guise of supporting national construction, Feng Baosheng demanded that timber harvesting and transportation begin ahead of schedule this year, with frontline production workers to be stationed in the mountains for logging in September.
We will strive to double the production targets set by our superiors this year and achieve a new peak in output.
Then, Feng Baosheng complained that the departments and logistics staff were too bloated and wanted to adjust the ratio of front-line work teams to department and logistics staff, transferring a large number of department staff to work in the work teams.
This includes matters concerning the security department.
Feng Baosheng felt that there were too many people in the security department. Including Li Zhenggang, there were only ten people in total, which were usually not needed. Keeping four or five people would be enough, and the rest could be transferred to the work team.
Most of the security personnel were demobilized soldiers, strong and healthy, so it wouldn't be a problem for them to work on the construction site.
However, in the logistics department, many of the husbands died in logging accidents, leaving behind young children, and their wives took over their jobs.
These women can't go to the front lines of logging, so the farm can only arrange for them to do odd jobs in the canteen or warehouse, which is just giving them a way out.
Coincidentally, when Feng Baosheng went down to inspect the warehouse that day, a few women who guarded the warehouse had nothing to do, so they sat together knitting and chatting.
This caught Feng Baosheng red-handed, and he realized that the original arrangements were unreasonable and a waste of manpower.
Therefore, Feng Baosheng ordered an investigation to find out how many such personnel were in the logistics-related departments, and to reduce their numbers by two-thirds.
Arrange for all these people to work in the sawmill, and transfer the men from the sawmill to the mountain.
The forestry saw room has two saws, which are used to process various types of timber, sawing them into squares or planks according to requirements.
This is a physically demanding job. Even grown men have backaches and sore waists after a day in the sawmill. Can these women handle it?
Zheng Xianyong and others approached Feng Baosheng several times, but Feng Baosheng insisted on his own way, even using phrases like "women hold up half the sky" to shut them up.
With no other option, those women had to work in the sawmill.
It has to be said that the women from Northeast China are all quite fierce and have a never-give-up attitude.
These people were transferred to the saw room, where they worked under the deafening roar of two saws, cutting all kinds of wood, including thick, thin, long, short, good, and rotten pieces.
It is then processed into various products such as timber squares and planks, which are then transported to the bureau and sold to other places.
