Chapter 70 Three Connections and One Leveling

"Everyone, Manager Lin said that our work this week is to complete the three connections and one leveling of the site, that is, water connection, electricity connection, road connection, and site leveling. Then, we will build our own factory building. In the future, we will Labor service companies have their own home!"

Zhao Yongqun, the newly appointed head of the production section of Hanhua Industrial, imitated Lin Zhenhua's appearance and issued a call to everyone. He had never done this kind of management work before, and felt that he was quite a leader at this time.He remembered what Lin Zhenhua said a few days ago when he was brainwashing him: In fact, it is very easy to be a leader. In this position, you are naturally the leader.

The temporary workers did not dislike Zhao Yongqun's soft-spokenness. In their view, they had to work anyway, and young people working together were happier than staying in the workshop with workers from their parents' generation.As for Zhao Yongqun, just treat him as a labor committee member in his class when he was studying. Who would care about the position of a labor committee member?
Peng Shaozhe was thoughtful and worked as an engineer on site, drawing lines on the ground and instructing the temporary workers on how to work.According to Lin Zhenhua's request, two work sheds, a material warehouse and a finished product warehouse should be built on this four-acre land.Work sheds, warehouses and roads in between should be paved with cement, and other places should be paved with cinders.In addition, considering the rain in the south, drainage ditches had to be dug around the site, and the sewage was directly discharged through the fence of the factory area into the canals in the nearby countryside. This situation was common at that time, and farmers would not say anything.

At that time, every household had labor tools, such as shovels, picks, shoulder poles, and dung pans, which were almost necessities of life.When they were studying, everyone had the experience of "studying agriculture". As for the educated youth workers who came back from the farm, they were even more skilled at doing this kind of work.Sixty-seventy people rushed to work, and they seemed to be in full swing for a while, which attracted the passing workers and factory leaders to click their tongues.

Fitter Sun Changyuan is standing on the edge of the field, instructing his son Sun Xiaodong to use a tap to open screw holes on galvanized water pipes.The long galvanized pipe was fixed on the vise, and Sun Xiaodong turned the handle of the tap round and round, competing with the steel water pipe for strength.Sun Changyuan taught by example and slapped his son on the head from time to time.

"Idiot, the silk mouth is twisted!" Sun Changyuan shouted, "How many times have I told you that the strength of both hands should be the same, and the eyes should be looked at. What do you think? When I was learning technology, if I twisted The mouth of the silk coming out is so biased, your master just took the pipe and smashed it over!"

"Dad, keep your voice down." Sun Xiaodong begged in a low voice. Among the young workers working, there was a girl he liked. He didn't want to be reprimanded by his father like this in front of his sweetheart.

"You can't do this job well, it's really embarrassing to me!" Sun Changyuan continued to train in the local dialect, his voice not weakening at all.The appellation of "survival goods" is probably synonymous with the term "short-lived ghost" in other places. This is a cover-up method used by parents to scold their children openly and secretly, hoping to win the sympathy of the gods.

"Dad, I'm just studying."

Peng Jun is stirring the cement mortar with a shovel, which is a job he is good at.He lowered his head and didn't talk to anyone, just doing his own thing wholeheartedly.Since he was rescued from suicide last time, he felt that he had no face to face others in the factory, but he didn't have the courage to commit suicide again anyway.

After Zhu Tiejun complained to Zhou Hui, the Department of Light and Chemical Industry finally agreed to fully accept the list of illnesses and dismissals reported by Hanhua Machinery Factory.However, the specific procedures will take some time to complete, so Peng Jun and others are still temporary workers and need to temporarily stay in the labor service company.

Lin Zhenhua's inaugural speech stirred up waves in Peng Jun's heart.He didn't know if Lin Zhenhua would succeed, but he heard from his father that Lin Zhenhua was a very capable person, and maybe he could really accomplish something.If Lin Zhenhua can really fulfill his promise and let the temporary workers of the service company get a salary of 50 yuan, then is it not worthwhile for Peng Jun to commit suicide at the beginning?Also, do I really have to be a regular worker in order to appear to have status?

Peng Jun couldn't find the answer for himself. What he could do was to do better at the present and use his sweat to wash away the humiliation brought about by the suicide incident.

Shi Guojun, who is an electrician, wears ankle buckles on his feet, and is riding on a concrete pole that has just been erected, fixing the insulating porcelain bottle with vise.Standing at his height, he could see the whole scene of labor, which made him feel a long-lost feeling.

Yes, Shi Guojun had seen such a fiery scene when he just went to the Educated Youth Farm. At that time, everyone sang songs with infinite hope in their hearts.However, after living on the farm for several years, the singing and hope disappeared, and everyone was looking forward to the day when the workers would be recruited and returned to the city.

The educated youth policy has changed, and Shi Guojun, together with tens of millions of educated youths, returned to the city, but faced with the dilemma of not having a job.The status of a temporary worker made him feel very shameless, so he began to be indifferent to everything and sneered at all the rhetoric.His outlook on life became very realistic. He felt that what he needed was just a regular job, the more money the better, and the less work the better.

However, this Lin Zhenhua, who was a few years younger than himself, used a wonderful picture to rekindle his enthusiasm, which gave him an inexplicable impulse.Standing on the top of the electric pole, looking at the laughing and sweating colleagues, Shi Guojun couldn't help humming an old song softly:

"The strong wind in Saibei has hardened our muscles and bones;
The scorching sun of the southern country has sunburned our arms;

Full of enthusiasm melted the permafrost of Sanjiu;

Indomitable fighting spirit overcame the mud in the rainy season..."

Maybe, I am really still young, 26-year-old Shi Guojun said to himself in his heart.

"It's time to rest, let's eat popsicles!" The newly appointed accountants Bi Min and Luo Yongmei walked over with a popsicle cart and shouted to everyone.

These popsicles are absolutely self-produced and self-marketed. Before that, an important business of the factory labor service company was to make popsicles in summer and sell them to the employees of the whole factory.At that time, each worker in the workshop could receive two popsicles per day, and the family members were issued popsicle tickets from the factory, with one or two hundred tickets per family. This was also something that people in other units in Fenghua County envied benefits.If the children in the surrounding factories are hungry, they have to go to the popsicle room of the Hanhua Factory to buy popsicles, each of which costs 2 cents.And Hanhua Factory's own children often took a whole popsicle ticket, and took away 10 at once, which made the children of other factories jealous with blood dripping from their eyes.

There is another reason why Hanhua Factory produces and sells its own popsicles, and that is that even the ice machine is produced by Hanhua Factory itself.Hanhua Factory is a chemical equipment manufacturing enterprise, and refrigeration compressors are one of its main products. How difficult is it to build a popsicle machine for its own factory?

"Rest, rest."

The temporary workers put down their tools together and gathered around, and Bi Min and Luo Yongmei gave them popsicles, and then stood aside in twos and threes, eating popsicles, admiring their factory area, and discussing their own future at the same time:
"This place will belong to us in the future?"

"From now on, we can work together every day. I'm so annoyed by my master in the workshop."

"Who knows if our service company can do it."

"It's not a service company, it's Han, Hua, Shi, and Ye. Remember what Manager Lin said."

"Hey, is it possible for you to realize what Xiaohua said?"

"I don't know, but I think Xiaohua has really changed a lot since he came back from the army, and he has become capable. You can see that he can let the Americans give us a high-end machine tool worth more than 1 US dollars, maybe He can really do a good job in the service company."

"So what if it's done well, aren't we still temporary workers?"

"I don't think so. If you can earn 50 yuan a month, you can be a temporary worker. What are you afraid of?"

"Beep beep——" Zhao Yongqun blew the whistle, and then shouted at the top of his voice: "Okay, have you rested yet? Continue to work!"
