In mid-October, Qin Huanlin returned from a business trip to the frontier and brought back a train full of long-staple cotton. Now, the entire county had a source of winter cloth and winter cotton.
The happiest person is Xiao Jiahua.
If the cloth and cotton she is responsible for are in sufficient supply, the people will have clothes to wear in winter. As the merchandise manager, she has also completed her purchasing task ahead of schedule and can rely on nothing for the entire winter.
In addition, the work cloth produced from long-staple cotton in Taifeng County has not only been recognized by the Southern Xinjiang Agricultural Reclamation Institute due to its excellent quality, but the other party also expressed that they would continue to give priority to long-term cooperation in the future.
Even cotton mills in other counties and cities within and outside the province came to Taifeng County to learn the weaving technology of the work cloth.
In view of the fact that Xiao Jiahua completed her KPI ahead of schedule and brought far-reaching and positive impact to the county's textile industry, the county leaders unanimously decided to pass the assessment of Xiao Jiahua ahead of schedule, award her the honor of county-level "Model Worker", and allow her to register in Taifeng County!
General Manager Xu Deshun was also happy for Xiao Jiahua. He told her the good news as soon as possible.
"Really? You mean, starting next month, I'll have a city hukou?"
Xiao Jiahua asked excitedly.
In fact, Xiao Jiahua didn't really value the title of model worker. As a time traveler, she felt a little guilty about receiving it.
What she was more concerned about was whether Xiao Dabao and Xiao Shitou could also obtain city hukou and study in schools in the county.
"Since he is your son, you can be his son."
Xu Deshun gave Xiao Jiahua a reassurance.
He added: "Principal, you should first complete your household registration and other formalities. In the end, the company will organize the application and change you to a bigger house in the staff quarters. Then, you can bring the two children over and complete the household registration procedures. However, if the children want to go to school, they will probably have to wait until the next semester!"
"No problem. I'm willing to wait."
As long as Xiao Dabao and Xiao Shitou can receive a better education, all the efforts are worth it and she is willing to wait no matter how late.
Only when you have a household registration, can you settle down and buy a house, can you be considered to have truly "moved to the city".
Xiao Jiahua couldn't wait to go back to Qinghe Village and tell everyone the good news.
Of course, there are also her true words.
Ever since they parted at Jiayuguan Railway Station last time, her little brother had been completely “out of touch”.
The phone call was not connected and there was no response to the letter. Xiao Jiahua tried several times and couldn't help but guess that the base's launch mission should have reached a critical stage.
In that special generation, countless people left their families, hid their identities, and struggled silently all their lives for the sake of the country's heavy equipment.
Compared with the relatives of those unsung heroes, Xiao Jiahua felt that he was very lucky to be able to write letters and make phone calls with Qi Keyan.
So, she chose to wait patiently and not disturb Qi Keyan anymore.
Xu Deshun continued to talk about work: "You, don't be too happy too soon. Although our county is not short of cotton in winter, finished cotton clothes, especially military coats, are still scarce."
Xiao Jiahua frowned: "How about this part? How did you do it in the past?"
Xu Deshun: "According to past practice, in early November, the merchandise manager will go on a business trip to Shanghai to visit other high-end clothing factories and purchase some winter clothing."
"Winter clothes? Since they are not ready-made clothes, why don't we order them directly from the clothing factory in Shanghai two months in advance?" Xiao Jiahua couldn't understand.
Xu Deshun shook his head, "Don't dream. They are a big factory. All materials are purchased and sold by the central government. Winter clothes are shipped all over the country. Why would they accept orders from a small county like you?"
It is clear that the so-called "winter goods" that people take a look at are most likely leftover scraps and leftover goods.
For the supply and marketing cooperatives in other counties, what goods they can get and how much they can get depends almost entirely on luck.
But no matter what, Xiao Jiahua is still looking forward to going to Shanghai at this time.
In a sense, Shanghai is her first hometown.
With the selfish desire to find a way to travel freely, she agreed without hesitation.
"Mr. Xu, I am willing to go on a business trip. And this time, I will go to Shanghai alone. I am so familiar with that place that I can touch the Huangpu River with my eyes closed!"
"Shanghai? You are familiar with it?!" Xu Deshun was very surprised.
In order for Xiao Jiahua to obtain a city hukou, the organization conducted an investigation of her entire family.
Xu Deshun knew very well that apart from the poor upbringing of his father-in-law, Xiao Jiahua's ancestors were all poor peasants for generations.
This young rural wife, let alone going to Shanghai, has probably never even crossed the Yellow River. The last time she went on a business trip to the border, it was her first time taking a train.
He thought Xiao Jiahua was bragging.
Well, Xiao Jiahua accidentally exposed himself as being too worldly-wise.
She thought about it and smiled to make up for it: "Mr. Xu, you may not know this. Although my husband is not from Beijing, my father-in-law is from Shanghai. My father-in-law went to Beijing to study and work, and later settled in Beijing. So there are some relatives of my husband's family in Shanghai, and they will take care of me."
That's true.
