Eating melons

"Has a lot of wasteland been reclaimed this year? Will there be more land available for cultivation next year? We don't have many more people here, how can we handle this?"

Hearing this, Jiang Qi also agreed deeply, "Indeed, there are so many people even though so much land has been opened. How can they handle it all?"

Xiao Xuemu was not surprised at all by this. "Didn't you see? There are a dozen more calves in the cowshed.

Whether it is spring plowing or autumn harvest, having one more cow is like having more strong laborers.

Moreover, cows can do much more work than humans. At least when it comes to transporting food, humans are completely incomparable, which saves a lot of labor.

And I heard that this year's batch of pigs should be quite good. There will be no profit from selling these pigs, and the farm will not get much either.

I will keep some of it to buy piglets next year, and some of it will be used to buy another tractor.

Adding a tractor will significantly increase the labor force, so we can handle the work completely. Next year, even more people will be working on the land reclamation."

After hearing this, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi became numb. Forget it, let it be destroyed!

"I hope to grow more corn next year, all corn. I want to go back and rub the corn kernels. Let me rub them for a longer time."

Wei Wei never realized how deeply she loved rubbing corn kernels.

Thinking about the fact that there wasn't much money distributed this year, she thought of something else. "If there isn't as much money distributed this year, does that mean the value of work points won't be as high as last year?"

Li Zhibin nodded, "That's for sure."

Hearing this, Wei Wei suddenly felt less sad. "Sure enough, happiness comes from comparison. Thinking about the treatment of the new educated youth, I don't feel so sad anymore."

Li Zhibin was a little confused, "Why?"

Jiang Qi explained, "Everything happened to them. Work points were devalued, but the workload increased. They were really lucky."

Looking at the two people gloating, Li Zhibin didn't know what to say.

"Is it appropriate for you to gloat over other people's misfortunes like this?"

Wei Wei nodded and said, "That's right. When you feel very sad and miserable, just look at those who are even sadder, and you will feel much happier.

If you are not happy enough, then others are not sad enough."

Li Zhibin: “…”

The autumn harvest at the Red Star Brigade is almost over, and Li Jing's net at the Jing City side is almost finished.

Li Jing contacted Zhou Sheng immediately after Li Zhibin said that. Seeing that Li Jing had sent such a big cake, Zhou Sheng must have acted quickly.

Originally, Zhou Sheng had already made preparations. With his position, he would definitely return to his hometown, most likely as the director of the Public Security Bureau. In fact, this was also very good.

But this is still not as good as the director of the Beijing Steel Plant. It’s not that he said the Public Security Bureau is bad, but in terms of interests, welfare and prospects, it is not as good as the steel plant.

Not to mention the steel mills in Beijing, which are incomparable to those in his hometown.

As the saying goes, opportunity is fleeting, and once lost, it will never come back. Zhou Sheng immediately seized the opportunity.

After all, no one knows whether there will be any changes in the situation. In order to prevent the duck in his mouth from flying away, Zhou Sheng immediately submitted an application for transfer.

He had been preparing this thing for a long time and planned to hand it in before the New Year.

Now that we have the opportunity, it’s not too late to apply in advance. All the information is ready, so just submit it directly.

Because of Zhou Sheng and Li Jing's connections, Zhou Sheng's position was there, and this application was very successful. In mid-September, Zhou Sheng reported to the steel plant in Jing City.

If we were to say who was the most surprised by Zhou Sheng's appointment and Zhang Mingyuan's retirement, it would be Fang Fusheng.

As for why it was a surprise, Fang Fusheng was definitely shocked, and there was also joy on his face.

Fang Fusheng looked at Zhang Mingyuan who was introducing Zhou Sheng to others. Fang Fusheng had a very kind smile on his face, but in fact his back teeth were almost broken.

He looked at Zhang Mingyuan in confusion, "Old Zhang, why did you retire so suddenly? Didn't you say you would retire next year?"

Hearing this, Zhang Mingyuan sighed, "Alas, I'm old and my body can't take it anymore.

We can't let individuals who can't keep up hold back the organization's progress. If we're old and can't keep up, we have to let the younger ones take over. Your generation is the boss now."

Fang Fusheng: “…”

Fang Fusheng saw that Zhang Mingyuan had strong arms and legs, and if he ran out, he might be able to run faster than him, so he didn't know a good excuse.

However, when Fang Fusheng thought that Zhou Sheng was transferred from the army, his back teeth were almost broken.

Originally, he was determined to get the position of factory director, but who knew that Cheng Yaojin would appear halfway.

Qiao Shixiang must ask Wu Lichun what is going on.

He also had to go back and find out who Zhou Sheng was and why he didn't get any news about Zhang Mingyuan's retirement so soon.

As for suspecting that Zhou Sheng and Li Jing had a relationship, Fang Fusheng had never thought about it.

After all, he knew a little about how complicated the military demobilization procedures were.

For a position like Zhou Sheng's, it would be difficult to get it so quickly without applying a year or two in advance.

At that time, Zhang Mingyuan was sure that he would retire at the end of this year, so Zhou Sheng probably didn't know about what was happening here.

In addition, the unit where Zhou Sheng retired was not here, so Fang Fusheng never thought that Zhou Sheng had any relationship with Li Jing.

However, Fang Fusheng responded to Zhang Yuanming's suggestion of fighting for the revolution with Zhou Sheng on the surface, but he was disdainful in his heart.

He wanted to see whether this Cheng Yaojin who showed up late could convince the people.

As soon as he got home, Fang Fusheng's face became so gloomy that ink could drip out of it, as if someone had killed his parents.

However, there is also a saying that cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing his parents, which is almost the same as killing his parents.

The news that the new factory director took office today spread throughout the entire steel plant in one day, and the Fang family naturally knew about it, and everyone's faces were not very good.

After all, their family had long considered the position of factory director as theirs, but who would have thought that someone would show up halfway? It would be strange if they could look at it in a better light.

Therefore, after work, everyone came to Fang's house instead of going back to their own homes.

Seeing that her husband, son, and daughter-in-law were all so calm, Qiao Shixiang felt a little strange.

"What's going on? Why do you all look so unhappy?"

Qiao Shixiang doesn't work at the steel plant. She works at the department store, so she doesn't know that the director of the steel plant has been changed today.

Ma Run closed the door as soon as she entered the house, knowing that there were many people outside waiting to watch her show.

After all, everyone knew that Fang Fusheng was determined to get the position of factory director. Others also knew it and thought that the position of factory director belonged to Fang Fusheng.

After all, although they didn't say they knew exactly how Fang Fusheng got promoted, they did know a little bit.

Compared with Fang Fusheng, others still have less help.

Therefore, now that Fang Fusheng was humiliated, everyone looked like they were watching a show, waiting for something good to happen.

Shao Mei, however, was less patient. "The steel mill changed its director today. Director Zhang retired, and a new director came in."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Shixiang stood up and said, "What's going on? Didn't Zhang Mingyuan say he wouldn't apply for retirement until the end of the year?"

There's still work to be done, and my official retirement isn't until next year. How could it be so soon? It's been almost half a year, why did they suddenly change their minds?

Lao Fang, who is the new factory director?"

Fang Fusheng shook his head. "I don't know. I just retired from the army."

Qiao Shixiang couldn't sit still after hearing this. "Could it be Wu Lichun and Li Jing who are behind this? They are holding a grudge against us because of what happened before. It must be them."

Hearing this, Fang Fusheng shook his head, "Probably not, they probably don't know about this.

Zhou Shengyuan's unit was from Liaoning Province, not Beijing, and his position before demobilization was not low, it was at the division level.

In a position like his, it would take at least a year or two to change his career.

So at least at the beginning of this year, he had plans to change his career, and even handed over the tasks in hand.

At that time, Zhang Yuanming had just planned to submit the application by the end of this year, so it shouldn’t be the case, and it should have nothing to do with Li Jing and others.

But when the time comes, go ask Wu Lichun about Zhou Sheng's background."

Hearing this, Qiao Shixiang immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll go ask tomorrow."
