The steel plant is not very big, but it feels pretty good.
It didn't look like the shabby one outside. When Zhou Yian first saw the outside, he thought the steel plant was a bit poor. However, this steel plant was just a relatively small one in the county, not the giant steel plant that the newspapers had mentioned before.
Zhang Li had been here some time ago and had a good memory, so she took Zhou Yian and rode to the family compound behind the house as if she was familiar with the route.
It's quite characteristic of the times, Zhou Yian thought as he looked at it. There were red banners and various slogans everywhere.
'Fighting with the sky is endless fun; fighting with the earth is endless fun; fighting with people is endless fun!'
'One is not afraid of hardship, and two is not afraid of death.'
"Revolutionary fighters are like bricks, they can be moved wherever they are needed."
"The Chairman's soldiers obey the Party's instructions most. They go wherever they are needed and settle down wherever the hardships are."
"No matter how small a public matter is, it is still a big matter; no matter how big a personal matter is, it is still a small matter."
"If you want to know if it's hard, think about the 25,000 Red Army soldiers. If you want to know if it's tiring, think about the old revolutionary veterans."
Not to mention other people at this time, Zhou Yian felt motivated as he watched.
He quickly shook his head to sober himself up.
She wants to do it but can't do it!
This is a cruel fact.
Zhou Yian sighed.
After riding for a while, we came to the factory's standard tube-shaped building, which occupies a small area and can accommodate many people.
It was broad daylight and there were still some family members present, so there was some talking, but not much.
There were quite a lot of family members, but not many children. Through several open doors, I saw several girls helping to take care of the children.
The corridors in the tube-shaped buildings are long and piled with miscellaneous items. Some of them even have stoves outside, and the dim lights flicker.
If she hadn't known it was a residential building for family members, Zhou Yian would have felt that a perverted killer would jump out at any time and take her life.
He quickly hugged Zhang Li's arm.
Fortunately, they arrived at Wu Mei's house soon and Zhang Li knocked on the door.
"Sister Zhang is here?" Wu Mei opened the door and saw Zhang Li first.
Zhou Yian poked his head out from behind, "Sister-in-law Wu, I'm here too."
"Zhou Zhiqing is here too." Wu Mei was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise, "Come in, come in."
The space inside is not big, there is a cabinet and bed as soon as you enter.
There were pieces of paper and matchboxes all over the table. They must be handicrafts that Wu Mei had taken on, but she didn't know where she got them from.
However, it can be seen that Wu Mei is still very diligent. Not only is the room relatively clean, but the children are also very clean.
"Zhou Zhiqing, Zhang Meizi, please take a seat first."
"Mrs. Wu, just call me Xiao Zhou." Zhou Yian said as he sat down.
"Then I'll just call you Sister Zhou."
"That's fine." Wu Mei poured two cups of brown sugar water for them, and then suddenly wanted to kneel down and kowtow.
Oh my god, Zhou Yian was so scared that he wanted to jump back. What the hell is going on?
Unexpectedly, his feet were still stuck on the stool, and his upper body leaned backward, and he fell backward precariously.
At the critical moment, Zhang Li pulled and restored the tilted half of the stool.
It's so scary.
Zhou Yian patted his chest and looked at Wu Mei, who was also startled by her and stood up involuntarily.
"Mrs. Wu, this is too scary." Zhou Yian couldn't help but take a sip of water. "What if I shorten my lifespan?"
"You are my benefactor, it's only right. How could it shorten your life?"
"Well, feudal superstition is prohibited." Zhang Li said with a smile.
"That's right, it's not nice to kneel down all the time." Zhou Yian continued. As a modern person, she felt it was weird for others to kowtow to her.
She stood up and pulled him onto the stool, "Hurry up and sit down."
Wu Mei noticed her discomfort and had no choice but to sit down. "Thank you so much, Sister Zhou. If it weren't for you, Nizi would have been thrown away, and I wouldn't be able to live my current life."
Although her husband only gave her a portion of the money to manage, it was much better than before when all the money was in the hands of his mother and him. She did housework all day and didn't get a penny.
Now everything is better. She has money and can buy more food so that she can at least eat half full, and Yingzi can go to school.
Even though the factory kindergarten didn't cost much, the old lady was reluctant to spend the money and forced Yingzi to stay at home and suffer from her abuse.
Zhou Yian felt a little uncomfortable, thinking that he hadn't done anything. "Oh, don't talk about this. I hope you are doing well now."
Zhang Li also smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Sister Wu, please stop talking. Xiao Zhou is uncomfortable. Besides, everyone is equal now. We can't keep kneeling."
Zhou Yian nodded silently. It was really scary. She was not used to it anyway.
"Speaking of which, I also want to ask Mrs. Wu if she knows if there are any factories hiring workers recently?"
"We haven't heard of it at our steel mill," Wu Mei shook her head, "but I can ask other mills for you."
"Mrs. Wu, do you know any factories?" Although Zhou Yian was disappointed, he also knew that jobs were still rare nowadays.
"I met a girl at the hospital that day who worked in a cloth factory."
"Cloth factory?" Zhou Yian's eyes lit up, and he didn't even want to think about his job anymore. "Does their factory have defective cloth? The kind that doesn't require cloth coupons?"
Halfway through his speech, he remembered that there was a policeman sitting next to him and subconsciously looked back.
"This doesn't count as speculation, at most it's mutual help." Zhang Li looked back at her and added with a smile.
"Haha, that's right," Zhou Yian felt reassured and spoke confidently, "It's okay if you don't have it."
The cloth from Ge Qiuze and his people was bought at a high price. If they could get it, they would have it. If they couldn’t, they would have it. Most of the cloth was local cloth.
