Unless one continues to keep things conservative, once this line of thinking is opened, all sorts of ideas will rush out. Sure enough, after just a simple start, Lin Dongfang's mind started to wander.
Jian Dan ignored him and quietly thought about the power generation. Although it was supposed to be done manually, there was still a difference between being proactive and being passive.
Moreover, even if electricity isn't needed for bean products, there are other aspects, such as accommodation, security, and daily life, where having electricity would be much more convenient than it is now.
Moreover, this wasn't just a sudden whim of hers. The situation was the same in Beishan Village. Only the camp area had electricity, and the soldiers' dormitories were already facing a severe power shortage. The family quarters were even more insecure.
When it was just the two of them, everything was fine, but after having children, especially as the little one grew up and only half understood things these past two years, she always felt that both kerosene lamps and candles were quite dangerous. After all, even adults can't always keep an eye on things, and children this age are still very curious and hard to guard against.
She has quite a few different kinds of lamps in her space, but they can't be used in the open, otherwise she wouldn't have to worry about it.
However, with two coal mines here, it should be reasonable to build a power station here, right?
This kind of thing is naturally not urgent, nor is it a small project. Even if it is feasible, from project initiation, site selection, environmental survey, approval, design, construction, to the subsequent equipment installation, commissioning, acceptance, and daily operation and maintenance management, it requires professional personnel. Moreover, it requires meetings and consultations between the military, the county party committee, and even the provincial party committee. After a brief consideration, I decided to put it aside for the time being.
This is a matter for higher-ups; she's just a nobody, so it seems she can't get involved.
However, if we whisper sweet nothings in her ear, could we accelerate the process?
The thought flashed through her mind for a moment, but she dismissed it. Forget it, pillow talk might work for a little kid, but it's not suitable for her.
After all that talk, it seems the fastest way to land is through the ice cellar that Lin Dongfang mentioned, but...
"If I want to make ice, without a refrigerator, I'll have to use the clumsy method. I don't expect to have to go out and buy saltpeter too, do I? Wait, no, I'm not a purchasing agent, I'm a salesperson."
Lin Dongfang twitched the corner of his mouth. He had no experience with this kind of thing either.
However, Jian Dan also knows that there are only a few people in charge right now, and they are in the startup phase. So, positions can't be strictly defined. Take Cheng Chao, for example. He is a company commander, but he does all sorts of jobs. He takes on any job and can do any job.
“Brother Chao used to go out and make connections a lot, so I’ll ask him if he has any connections, and then contact some friends. It’s better than us wandering around like headless flies.”
I simply don't want to worry about it, and I haven't discovered that I have any connections in this area. I don't understand it, so I won't offer any opinions.
"Okay, you decide. Just tell me what you need me to do. I probably don't have any connections for this. But if you need anything else, just say so. Don't hesitate to contribute anything, whether it's materials or labor."
Lin Dongfang rolled his eyes.
"This arrogant nouveau riche attitude, this face, it's really too hateful. If I could beat you, I would definitely have a go at you."
The little one, who was eating nearby, immediately looked over warily when he heard the word "hit," his little face puffed out.
"No fighting!"
Simple,"......"
Lin Dongfang, “…”
"You know, it has to be a girl, even when she's angry she's so endearing,"
Speechless
"Then why don't you give Zhouzhou a little sister?"
Lin Dongfang was taken aback, and then a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
"Mingzhu is pregnant, but we don't know if it will be a girl."
"You guys are really something, aren't you? You weren't planning to tell me if I hadn't asked, were you?"
This is something I really didn't expect, but in this day and age, people believe that having many children brings many blessings, so it's not surprising. However, I didn't expect that the couple could keep it a secret so well.
Lin Dongfang grinned foolishly.
"I wanted to wait until the pregnancy was a bit more advanced before we talked about it."
Besides, things have been going on lately, and telling you would only distract you. There's no need for that. Don't worry, if something really happens, I definitely won't hide it from you, and I won't be polite either.
"Hmph! You'd better be."
On their first visit to the new factory, both sides were eagerly anticipating the visit. Cheng Chao, who had just come from the supply and marketing cooperative, was there, carrying large bags of food. The little boy rushed straight to him as soon as he saw him, giving Lin Dongfang a simple pout.
"See? He used to buy all those big and small bags for me. Look at him now, he doesn't even remember me anymore, it's all for her."
Cheng Chao, with his sharp ears, didn't even turn his head.
"You've really made something of yourself, competing with your own daughter for her affections,"
"Hmph, that's all because of you. You were the ones who fell in love with someone else first."
Lin Dongfang spat out a mouthful of water, his face filled with shock.
"Is this word used like this?"
Cheng Chao and Jian Dan both snorted in unison, then turned their faces away. Lin Dongfang was speechless.
"Aren't you childish?"
"Hurry up, we were just talking about serious business. Now that you're here, let's discuss the feasibility."
In Beishan Village on the border, after the little one left, the old lady felt out of place and the atmosphere at home seemed much quieter. Although the little one wasn't here every day and mostly just talked in the yard, at least she could see him when she looked up and hear him calling out to her grandpa and grandma in his sweet, childish voice every day.
Suddenly, the third child was home. He left early and came back late, and the house was cold and quiet, as if no one lived there. Several times she had to call out before she realized that the child was not home.
