Chapter 367 Era - There is a time-traveling girl next door 18
Of course Li Dandan had no objection. It would be better if someone took the initiative to arrange this matter.
The others nodded in agreement.
Even if he has some ulterior motives in mind, he will not show them for the time being.
In fact, this last one was set for Yang Aihua.
She is known in the dormitory as someone who likes to take advantage of others, but now she still gives people the impression of being innocent and harmless when she goes out.
But in this dormitory, no one believed her anymore, and everyone was on guard against her.
Li Dandan was undoubtedly the one who paid the money.
In the end, only Yang Aihua and Cao Hongmei decided to go out and collect firewood by themselves.
Cao Hongmei said to everyone, "I'll pick up as much as I can. Tell me before you buy firewood, and I'll make up the difference. This way, when it gets colder, you won't have trouble buying firewood."
Everyone knew that Cao Hongmei wanted to spend as little money as possible, but they could also understand her.
But Yang Aihua didn't say a word at this moment.
However, everyone in the dormitory planned to help Cao Hongmei collect some firewood when she went to collect it.
Having several people working on the same amount of firewood as one person can at least relieve some of her pressure.
As for Yang Aihua, no one cared about her.
It’s not that everyone doesn’t know how to unite, but that Yang Aihua has no difficulties at all.
She must have guessed that everyone would help, so she was just waiting for the free firewood to be delivered to her door without spending any money or effort.
Who wouldn’t be angry when meeting such a person!
Although Li Dandan's college life had some minor twists and turns, they were not a big problem and she lived her life leisurely.
In the blink of an eye, it was 1958, a year in which the whole country was engaged in the Great Steel Production Campaign.
Before this, Li Dandan wrote a letter to her hometown.
Just like before, I ask about my family and report on my life.
But at the end of the letter, Li Dandan left a light pencil mark: "Uncle Village Chief: Follow the crowd and protect the farm tools."
When the letter arrived, Li Tiezhu and others were completely confused by this incoherent sentence and had no idea what it meant.
Li Huaiyuan originally wanted to call and ask, but was stopped by Li Tiezhu.
"You stupid fool, if Dandan could speak frankly, would she be so secretive?
By making this call, you've exposed my granddaughter!"
There was obviously something going on here. It was obvious that Li Dandan got the news in Kyoto and it was not convenient for her to tell her family directly.
The meaning of the letter is to tell the village chief.
The village chief is actually the team leader now, but Li Dandan is used to calling him uncle.
Li Tiezhu still trusts the team leader.
After thinking it over, he finally took the letter and left the house and went to the captain's house.
The two discussed for a long time. After returning home, Li Tiezhu carefully erased the pencil marks on the letter. Only after making sure that there were no marks on it did he put the letter together with the other letters and put it away.
A few days after receiving Li Dandan's letter, the village received a notice saying that they would build a blast furnace, collect ironware, and make steel.
I was completely confused when I saw the line of words before, but when I received the notice, I suddenly understood.
The two men gathered all the people in the village who had a say.
Now everything is a commune collective system, and farm tools and other things are also collectively owned.
No matter what decision we make, everyone will have to shoulder the responsibility together in the end.
The team leader explained the seriousness of the matter, without mentioning Li Dandan, of course. He then read the document from above and said, "Everyone, please share your thoughts."
What ideas do you guys have?
How many ironwares can a home have in this era?
The ironware in the house are things like pots, door locks, and farm tools, which are indispensable for daily life.
But I definitely can't not pay it. If I'm accused of passively resisting the revolution, my whole family will suffer.
After much discussion, everyone finally reached a consensus: if the pot is gone, we can still go to the cafeteria to eat; but if the farm tools are gone, what will we use to harvest the wheat? Will we have to pull it out with our hands?
Everyone agreed that other things in the house could be handed over, but the farm tools must be kept.
If other things are lost, you can buy them again, but if the farm tools are lost, then everything is gone.
The captain took out a piece of paper and ink and said, "If you agree, please sign and put your fingerprints on it."
This is also because they are afraid that someone will go up and betray the village.
Now, all the men in the village are united, like grasshoppers tied to the same rope.
We support the above work, but we cannot let the grain rot in the fields, and the farm tools must be kept.
In this way, Panshui Village also began to build blast furnaces and make steel in a bustling manner.
But the villagers are not stupid, and they themselves don’t believe that they can make steel.
The team leader asked people to put some discarded ironware into the blast furnace, and the blast furnace was filled with black smoke every day.
But there is nothing serious in it, it is just for the purpose of passing the inspection.
When the inspectors came down, the team leader said, "Leader, we are just a bunch of rough guys who have never made steel before. We are afraid of wasting the raw materials, so we will try making a small amount first.
If it doesn’t work, we can see where the problem is and make adjustments quickly to avoid wasting all the raw materials.”
When the inspectors heard this, they thought it was true. They had never done this before, so they had to test it carefully. They also praised the team leader.
As soon as the inspectors left, the captain immediately waved his hand and said, "Retreat!"
Everyone went to work in the fields, leaving only two elderly men to watch the blast furnace and throw half-wet firewood into it, just to make the furnace smoke.
This is how Panshui Village has been coping.
Occasionally, the team leader would run to the county to consult the leaders with the iron lumps smelted in the village in distress.
He said with a bitter face: "Leader, please look at this thing of mine. Can you find someone who knows how to guide us? Why is it such a piece of iron?
We all do it strictly according to the requirements.
If there's no one who knows how to teach us, other villages will be able to make steel, but we can't. I can't afford to lose face!"
What can the leader say? This is the stuff that is produced in the whole county, and he still wants to find someone to guide him.
I could only comfort the team leader: "Your positive and enterprising spirit is worth learning, but the technical instructor is too busy right now and has no time.
Go back and try to figure it out on your own, maybe you can find a way."
The team leader talked to his leader for a few more words, then took the iron lump back to the village.
After returning to the village, he immediately went to the blast furnace and said, "Mr. Meng, let's continue refining. Do you have any scrap iron left? If it's not enough, add some more."
Mr. Meng only had three front teeth left. After hearing what the captain said, he grinned, revealing his sparse teeth, and said, "Don't worry, captain, I can still hold on for a while. I don't know what the higher-ups are doing."
If steel could really be made, I, an old man, wouldn't mind having those ironwares at home.
But look at it, it's just a discus, isn't it just a waste of time? "
