Chapter 77 Something is out of control
Secretary He's attitude towards President Hu is naturally different. Although the relationship between the two was not bad without Li Dong, with his presence, their relationship seemed even better.
The former vice president was arrested for embezzling public funds, and the two of them were almost implicated. Although it was finally found out that it had nothing to do with them, the two people, as the vice president's leaders, were also responsible for dereliction of duty as they did not notice that he had tampered with the commune's accounts.
We were taken away for interrogation together at the time, and we had a friendship that went through hardships together.
Although we have had disputes on a daily basis, they were all about work.
Neither of them mentioned what had just happened. They walked around the commune and selected a few places. They would go back and discuss with other cadres to decide exactly where to build the factory.
The factory in the county can't keep dragging it out. If it drags on for too long, people will lose their patience.
In addition to building a factory, we also need to order a batch of cans. After all, if they are to be sold, they must be packaged.
Secretary He wrote down what needed to be done. This was supposed to be the secretary's job, but Xiao Zhou was busier than him now. He rode his bicycle to the teams with plastic greenhouses to check on the condition of the vegetables in the greenhouses. The pedals of his bicycle were almost smoking. He would not be surprised if Xiao Zhou's bicycle fell apart one day.
After sorting out the things that needed to be done, Secretary He called everyone to a meeting to get things decided as soon as possible.
This is something that everyone has been busy with. Apart from some disputes over the site selection, the rest can be done by assigning tasks to other people.
Li Dong expressed his disapproval and even opposed them making such a big fuss, but no one paid attention to his opinion.
After the tasks were assigned, the entire Baihua Commune became busy. Thinking of the bright future of the commune, everyone was full of energy.
Only Li Dong fell into deep thought. He had always had a good memory and he was sure that in the previous life, Baihua Commune did not produce these things.
He felt that something was increasingly wrong, as if something was gradually getting out of control. This made him, who had always been proud of his self-control, panic for the first time.
He has always been confident in himself and very sure of his memories of his past life, but now these changes have begun to undermine his self-confidence.
Ever since arriving at Baihua Commune, Li Dong was afraid that the trajectory of his previous life might have changed, so he didn't dare to make any big moves. However, Baihua Commune's successive actions disrupted all his plans.
Something is wrong. This is terribly wrong.
Li Dong felt that there must be something wrong.
It shouldn't be like this.
He thought hard about his past life, trying to find something wrong.
However, he had never been to Baihua Commune in his previous life. Logically, he should have heard something about the commotion in the brigade there, and people in the provincial capital should have heard about it, but he could not find any memory of it.
Or perhaps, he knew about Baihua Commune after the reform and opening up, and maybe that thing failed, so he didn't hear about it.
Li Dong objected in his heart, but his intuition told him that things were out of control.
At this moment, Li Dong suddenly recalled that in his previous life he knew a couple. The husband was a sent-down youth in Baihua Commune, and his wife's brother and he were educated youth in the same brigade. If he could find them, would it be possible to prove that nothing had changed?
But he only knew that the couple was in Baihua Commune, and he didn't know which brigade they were from. I don’t know if there are any unpleasant past events, but they are unwilling to talk about them.
Fortunately, I remember the names of the couple.
As the third in command of the commune, it should be no problem for him to check the list of educated youth who went to the countryside.
When handing him the list, the female clerk in charge of keeping the information looked at Li Dong and couldn't help blushing.
Vice President Li has reached this position at a young age, and I heard that he is still unmarried.
Li Dong took the information and left without paying attention to the female secretary's expression. Even if he had noticed, he would not have cared. There was always a lack of women who admired him around him.
After he left, another older sister said, "Vice President Li is already in his twenties and has never been married. I don't know if there is something wrong with him."
"That's impossible." The female secretary couldn't believe it.
The eldest sister looked at her meaningfully and said, "You are still young, you don't know that a man can't just rely on his looks. It's not good to be good-looking on the surface but a useless person on the inside."
The elder sister paused and said, "If he's still not married at such an old age, there might be something wrong with him. You're still young, don't be fooled by a man's appearance. For example, Vice President Li doesn't look like a caring man."
Although the female secretary is not married, it does not mean that she knows nothing.
Thinking about that scene and then looking at Vice President Li, I suddenly lost all interest.
It’s a waste of having such a pretty face.
Li Dong naturally had no idea that people were talking about him. He took the list of educated youth back and found the man's name.
However, Li Dong discovered that his wife’s name was on the list of educated youth.
He clearly remembered that the person who went to the countryside was the brother of the woman named Zhao Siqing.
How did her name appear here?
Li Dong suddenly had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, he found out that the two men had been sent to a labor camp.
The woman slandered the captain of the Taohua Brigade out of jealousy.
"Idiot." Li Dong was extremely angry.
Based on what Zhao Siqing had done, he could already conclude that Zhao Siqing had been reborn just like him.
It's just that idiot screwed it up.
Li Dong suspected that it was because of Zhao Siqing's series of stupid actions that things were now out of his control.
Because he was still thinking about this matter, he did not notice the strange look the female officer gave him when he returned the educated youth information.
…
Secretary He and his colleagues were always busy and had no time to know what Li Dong was doing.
After the location of the pickle factory is selected, we need to contact the brick factory to build the factory building.
Also contact the can factory to order a batch of cans.
Zhou Xian also took the time to draw the packaging template and would contact the printing factory later.
Director Ji also received pickles made by the female comrades one after another.
The corresponding names were also put on the jars of pickles, but they were not shown to those people. Instead, the names were covered up so that the comrades in the commune could taste them themselves and choose the most delicious pickles.
The results came out very quickly. Director Ji and his colleagues selected three female comrades as team leaders of the pickle group to lead the team members to complete the pickle production.
As for the others, there is no need to be discouraged. Their pickles are actually quite good. If we expand our scale in the future, we will definitely give priority to recruiting people from them.
Although the women who were not selected were a little disappointed, they knew that more people would be recruited in the future and that they had a better chance than others, so they left happily.
"Director Ji, what should we do with Shengyi's pickles?"
The dish that received the most votes this time was the pickles made by Yang Shengyi, and she has already sent the pickle shop over.
But I still felt uneasy taking this prescription for nothing.
They discussed and decided to give money to Yang Shengyi, and the commune bought her prescription.
Zhou Xian felt that this was the heroine's golden finger after all, and it was in the area of food. Others might not be able to make the taste of Yang Shengyi's pickles, so her help would be indispensable in the future.
"Director Ji, cooking is different from other things. The same thing tastes different when made by different people. I think we should find a way to transfer Shengyi to the school in the commune. That way, if there are any problems, we can go to her directly. We can handle special cases specially. She doesn't have to work. We can pay her a daily salary. This will ensure Shengyi's study and the quality of our pickles."
"You need to ask Secretary He about this."
Zhou Xian then asked Secretary He about this plan.
"What does Shengyi think? If she is willing, I will talk to the principal of the commune and transfer her as soon as possible."
Secretary He also thought it was okay. He had naturally tasted the pickles before, and he voted for Yang Shengyi's pickles.
As the secretary of the commune, it would be easy for him to arrange for the girl to transfer to the commune, but he was afraid that the girl would not be willing.
Yang Shengyi naturally had no objection and was even very happy.
If she went to school in the commune and everything went well, she would really be able to get rid of those people.
Zhou Xian naturally knew what she wanted to do, and said, "We plan to hire you as a technical instructor, and then we will register your household registration directly with the pickle factory."
Yang Shengyi nodded excitedly. She felt that Sister Zhou really understood her.
Zhou Xian went back and told Secretary He about this. Except for Li Dong, no one else had any objection.
"I disagree. This is not in compliance with the regulations at all."
Secretary He tried hard to hold back and not roll his eyes. If he really looked into it in detail, there were many things that did not comply with regulations. However, as long as it was for the good of the commune, nothing was necessarily prohibited.
Special cases require special treatment, and Li Dong’s opinion is not within their consideration.
Vice President Li is not usually so enthusiastic. I don't know what happened today, but Secretary He didn't take his opposition to heart at all.
We will have to recruit more workers next, and we are very busy here, so we don’t have time to take care of him.
After the meeting, Li Dong sat at the table for a long time. This feeling of being out of control made him very uneasy. He preferred the feeling of having everything under his control.
He didn't expect that after coming to Baihua Commune, everything would be out of his control.
All of this was caused by that stupid woman Zhao Siqing.
Secretary He from the commune had already given notice, and Officer Li went to pick up Yang Shengyi with the certificate.
When the members of Yanghua Brigade heard that Yang Shengyi was going to move to the commune, they were extremely surprised.
There were also some who liked to watch the fun. Seeing the stunned old couple of the Yang family, they couldn't help but mocked, "This child who is loved on weekdays has no future, but Hongmei's child has a future. I don't know if some people will regret it in the future."
"When Yang Lao Er was alive, he was the most capable person in the family. I don't know why no one in his family likes him."
"Why else? I'm the second oldest in the family, neither up nor down. I have an older brother above me and a younger brother below me. I'm just not likable." The person who spoke was full of emotion, and it was obvious that he could empathize with Yang Laoer.
When the Yang family heard those words, they felt even worse.
Wu Guoxing was also feeling upset. The commune was recently building plastic greenhouses, and naturally he wanted to fight for it. However, his previous inaction had been noticed by the leaders, and he no longer had the qualifications to fight for it.
I originally wanted to ask Yang Shengyi to help me plead for him, but it turns out that he is leaving too.
Even the money deposited in the brigade was transferred to the commune. He guessed that the child would never come back.
Captain Wu knew that it was okay for Shengyi to do this. After all, there was nothing in Yanghua Team worth her staying for.
Yang Shengyi left with Secretary Li under the watchful eyes of the members of the Yanghua Brigade.
She had very few things, just a deflated package. Secretary Li helped her carry it, but it didn't feel heavy at all.
Secretary Li sighed and took Yang Shengyi away on his bicycle.
Originally, Yang Shengyi was arranged to live, but Yang Shengyi did not want to trouble them, so Director Ji helped him find a place to live. The rent was two yuan a month. Except for the bed, Yang Shengyi had to buy everything else by himself.
