Chapter 461 Seeing Model Worker Again
"Master Li, open the door, the leaders of the central government are here to see you."

Yuan Yunmei knocked on the door skillfully and shouted into the room.

The door opened, and an old man with gray hair poked his head out.He looked at the people outside the door, and recognized the person calling the door as Yuan Yunmei, so he showed a faint smile and said, "Oh, it's Director Yuan, and the leader is here again, please come in quickly."

When he said this, there was a hint of helplessness in his tone, as if he was a little bit in the way of affection.Of course, Yuan Yunmei didn't care about his attitude, she greeted He Haifeng and the others loudly like a master: "Director He, you go to the house quickly, and Director Yu, oh, yes, Lin Boss, please first."

He Haifeng knew that his official position was the greatest, and if he didn't enter the house, no one else would dare to get ahead of him.Therefore, he didn't show any modesty, and walked directly into the house.Li Genyuan seemed to be used to receiving all kinds of leaders at home. He let He Haifeng sit on a homemade sofa, moved stools for the others, and invited everyone to sit down together.Li Genyuan's wife also came to help pour some boiling water, and then hid in another room.

The living room of Li Genyuan's house is very small, only a dozen square meters, and there are bedrolls piled on top of a cabinet. It is estimated that this room will be used as a bedroom for a family member at night.There are five or six people in He Haifeng's group, and when everyone came in, the whole room was packed to the brim.After Li Genyuan settled everyone down, he moved a small mat and sat in a corner of the room, waiting for everyone to speak.

"Master Li, you are getting old, you should sit on the sofa, anyway, this sofa can also seat two people." He Haifeng turned his body to the side to make room for one person, and asked Li Genyuan to sit beside him Come.

The sofa He Haifeng was sitting on was indeed a loveseat, but no one else dared to sit next to him, so the seat next to him was vacant.Li Genyuan looked at everyone's actions and knew that the person on the sofa must be a great leader, so he waved his hands again and again: "Sir, no need, I'm used to sitting on this horse."

"That's right, Master Li likes to ride horses." Yuan Yunmei said casually, "Director He, let me introduce you. This Master Li, named Li Genyuan, turned out to be a stylist in our factory. You don't know What is a stylist, right? By the way, Master Li, please introduce your deeds to Director He. I forgot to introduce to you, this is the director of our State Planning Commission, Director He."

"Oh, Director He, hello." Li Genyuan nodded to He Haifeng and said, "As for me, before I retired, I was engaged in casting and modeling in the factory. In some factories, it is also called a foundry worker. The meaning of "sand foundry" Well……"

"Oh, Master Li, I used to be in industry for a while, and I know a little about casting and foundry." He Haifeng interrupted Li Genyuan's introduction. He really didn't need Li Genyuan for such common industrial knowledge issues. Give him science.

The so-called molder is a type of work in the foundry operation, and its job content is to make the cavity for casting.The molten iron is poured into the cavity, cooled and shaped, which is the casting process.

"Yes, yes, Director He is an old man in the industry, so he must understand this." Yuan Yunmei quickly took over the conversation, "Well, Director He, I will continue to introduce you to Master Li Genyuan. He was in Manchukuo at the time. , has already entered the factory as a worker. When the Northeast was liberated, he was designated as a fifth-level stylist. Even Soviet experts were convinced by his skills. Before retiring, Master Li was a provincial-level model worker every year and was elected three times. He is a national model worker and was personally interviewed by Chairman Mao. Look at it..."

As Yuan Yunmei said, she pointed to the opposite wall with her finger, and then she got stuck.She looked at Li Genyuan suspiciously, and asked, "Master Li, where is your certificate?"

"Uh...my wife exposed it all." Li Genyuan said with some embarrassment on his face.

"How could it be exposed?" Yuan Yunmei became angry as if her underwear had been exposed, "This is your glory, how could it be exposed? Why didn't you tell us about such a big matter? One sound..."

Li Genyuan's home is an important "tourist spot" for Hexi District officials.In the past, when inspection teams from national ministries or foreign countries came to visit the workers' homes, Hexi District always brought them to the homes of Li Genyuan and several other designated households.Yuan Yunmei herself had brought people to Li Genyuan's house many times, so she knew the furnishings of his house very well.The wall she was pointing to had been covered with awards, large and small, and it was a landscape that could add luster to Hexi District.

An official once asked, since leaders often visit Li Genyuan's home, whether to consider changing him to a bigger house, and then the government will pay for the renovation.But this proposal was rejected. Everyone believed that this original ecological scene could better satisfy the desire of the leaders to care for the masses and go deep into the grassroots. If it was replaced with a luxury house, the superiors might not be happy to see it.

In the past few years, due to the fact that the industry in Hunbei City has gradually fallen into trouble, fewer and fewer leaders of ministries and commissions came to inspect the work, and Yuan Yunmei did not come to Li Genyuan's house for more than a year, so I don't know when his certificate of merit was received. peeled off.

"My wife said..." Li Genyuan looked at He Haifeng, and felt a little inappropriate, so he said hesitantly: "Hey, that old woman is short-sighted, she said that even a model worker can't be eaten, This house..."

"Old Li, is the heater in your room broken? Why do you feel so cold?" Yu Hanqiao calmly changed the subject and stopped Li Genyuan from continuing.

Although Li Genyuan didn't say what he said later, both He Haifeng and Lin Zhenhua could guess.It must be the economic downturn in the factory, and Li Genyuan's family is not in good condition. In a fit of anger, Li Genyuan's wife threw away all the certificates.This kind of mood is actually quite understandable. Facing a wall of awards and eating with pickled water lumps, that feeling is quite lost.

Yu Hanqiao interrupted Li Genyuan's words in time, naturally because he didn't want He Haifeng to hear these discordant contents.

Under the arrangement of local officials, Li Genyuan received people from various fields many times.Hearing Yu Hanqiao's reminder, he smiled naively at He Haifeng, and quickly changed the subject: "Yes, the heating in this factory is not too hot this year. Director He, you don't feel cold, do you?"

He Haifeng didn't take off his coat after entering the room, even so, he still felt a little chill in the room.He saw that Li Genyuan was also wearing a thick padded jacket, obviously the heating was not hot enough for a long time.He said with concern: "I'm fine, but you live in this room, the temperature is so low all day long, can you bear it? The temperature in this room is probably less than 10 degrees?"

"It's not always so cold, sometimes it can be warmer, maybe thirteen or four degrees." Li Genyuan said.

"Is it so cold in every household?" He Haifeng asked.

"At least our area is so cold." Li Genyuan replied.

"Director Yuan, how do you do your labor work? Can't the minimum living conditions of the workers be guaranteed?" Yu Hanqiao scowled and began to scold Yuan Yunmei.

Yuan Yunmei hurriedly replied: "Director Yu, we were indeed negligent in this matter. The heating in the family area of ​​each factory is solved by burning boilers in the factory itself. I don't know why the heating of the Hun Forging Press is so bad. Another day I'll ask someone to ask."

"What else is there to change?" Yu Hanqiao said, "In such a cold day, if one more day is delayed, the workers will suffer one more day. Go to their factory director immediately and tell me... no, you can tell the State Planning Commission Director He is waiting here to see when he can bring the heating over."

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away!" Yuan Yunmei nodded repeatedly, and got out of the room quickly, looking for the factory director somewhere.

He Haifeng sat on the side, watching Yu Hanqiao's hypocrisy with cold eyes, smiling without saying a word.Lin Zhenhua secretly took a look at Li Genyuan, and found that he had an expression quite similar to He Haifeng's.With a thought in his mind, Lin Zhenhua had some new understanding of the old man.

"Old Li, Director Yuan introduced you to you just now. This is Director He of our State Planning Commission. He came to our Hunbei City to understand the company's situation and to help us reduce losses and get out of trouble. You are the boss of Hun Forging Press. It's an employee, and it's a national model worker. How about you tell Director He about the operation of our factory over the years, especially the difficulties we are facing now, and which ones need the help of the state." Yu Hanqiao said to Li Genyuan, I don't know Why, he is used to calling the State Planning Commission the Planning Commission, maybe because he thinks it looks a little more arrogant.

"This...Director Yu, I don't know what to say." Li Genyuan said in embarrassment.

"It's okay, Master Li, just say what you think of. I came to Hunbei this time to do research, and I need to know the most real situation. So, you don't have to worry about it. Say something and say something. Two." He Haifeng said.

Li Genyuan was still a little embarrassed, he turned his head and glanced at Yu Hanqiao.Yu Hanqiao said: "Old Li, just say what you want to say, it doesn't matter, Director He is here to listen to the voices of our workers. Didn't some of you complain that we are an old hen in Northeast China? The eggs of a lifetime are taken away by the country. Now that we are old and can no longer lay eggs, the country doesn’t care about us. As I said long ago, this view is wrong. How can the country ignore us? You see, Isn’t Director He here to understand the situation on behalf of the central government?”

"Oh, you want to talk about the old hen?" Li Genyuan nodded, "Then I know it's time to talk about it."
