Time Travel: Volume 1! Starting from a Small Mountain Village

Xu Tiansheng's words were like a bomb dropped onto a calm lake, instantly igniting the emotions of everyone around! Everyone had been kept in the dark until now. Because of Lin Guodong's deliberate secrecy and Long Lifan's low profile, no one knew that Long, the educated youth, had become a factory worker. Now, hearing the factory's top leader, Xu Tiansheng, speak in person, both the commune members and the educated youth were stunned by this sudden news, standing there speechless for a long time!

Their gazes invariably fell upon the pile of supplies on the ground, their hearts filled with envy. These were real benefits! They couldn't help but wonder how much Long Zhiqing's salary was. To enjoy such generous benefits, her income must be considerable!

In fact, this was all Xu Tiansheng's deliberate act. He wanted to use this opportunity to make it clear to everyone that Long Zhiqing belonged to their machinery factory. Anyone who wanted to offend her would have to think twice before doing so! Xu Tiansheng's actions were undoubtedly a show of support for Long Zhiqing, and a declaration to everyone: Long Zhiqing, our machinery factory has your back!

"Forehead"

Noticing the slightly curious and scrutinizing gazes of those around her, Long Lifan's heart skipped a beat, but she instantly understood the deeper meaning behind Director Xu's arrangement. She chuckled softly, breaking the momentary awkwardness: "Director Xu, why don't we go back to the courtyard first?" Her words carried a touch of gentleness and composure.

"Good good..."

Xu Tiansheng quickly agreed, and while talking, he started moving the supplies on the ground. There were quite a lot of things, and Lin Guodong quickly stepped forward to help. The group soon returned to the courtyard. Hu Lili and the others were very sensible and did not follow them in. They simply took their things from their bicycles and left, but they understood that this leader from the county had come specifically to see Long Zhiqing.

As always, Long Lifan skillfully opened the door and invited Director Xu and the others inside. She turned and quickly went to the room, picked up the kettle, poured them hot water, and carefully added a little malted milk powder.

On this chilly winter day, a cup of sweetened water felt like a warm current flowing straight to the heart, making everyone feel incredibly comfortable. The group held their cups, their faces beaming with satisfaction. After everyone had enjoyed their drinks, Long Lifan spoke with a smile, "Director Xu, judging from your radiant face, you must have some wonderful news to celebrate?"

"hey-hey……"

Upon hearing this, Xu Tiansheng couldn't help but grin, his eyes sparkling with joy. "You were absolutely right! The province has been full of praise for our machinery factory's newly developed detachment machine. They not only specifically named it as a commendation but also instructed us to expand production and work overtime to expedite its production so that more villages and communities can use this great product and improve production efficiency!"

As Xu Tiansheng spoke, his tone was filled with pride and excitement, as if he could already see the thriving future of the machinery factory. Long Lifan and Lin Guodong also looked delighted upon hearing this, both happy for the machinery factory's achievement.

Who would have thought that just before the Lunar New Year, Xu Tiansheng was frantically worrying about the survival of the county machinery factory? He was running around everywhere, begging and pleading for connections and orders. The anxiety and pressure had turned his hair gray, and it was falling out everywhere. But who could have predicted that in just six months, the machinery factory would be transformed, receiving praise and recognition from higher authorities one after another?

Now, they are not only required to maintain their current production levels, but are even encouraged to expand their scale and further increase their production capacity. This stark contrast moved Xu Tiansheng, a veteran who had fought on the battlefield and weathered countless storms, deeply, and his eyes welled up with tears. He knew that all these changes were inseparable from Long Zhiqing's suggestions and help. It was Long Zhiqing who, with her unique vision and innovative thinking, pointed out a new direction for the machinery factory's development.

Therefore, Xu Tiansheng deliberately chose this opportunity to personally deliver New Year's gifts and blessings to Long Zhiqing, hoping to deepen their friendship. After all, in the future, the machinery factory would still need this expert's guidance to lead them to a brighter future!

"That feeling is good!"

Listening to Xu Tiansheng's words, Long Lifan's eyes shone with joy, and she nodded repeatedly in response. Her heart was filled with anticipation for the future of the machinery factory. Expanding its scale meant that more villages and communities would be able to use the threshing machines they produced, which was undoubtedly great news for improving agricultural production efficiency and reducing the burden on farmers.

Long Lifan knew all too well that the people at the very bottom of society toiled diligently every day, yet their efficiency was often hampered by outdated tools. Now, as tractors gradually spread to various communes, the workload of the commune members would be greatly reduced, and their productivity would be significantly improved. Thinking of this, a gentle smile crept onto Long Lifan's lips, as if she could already see the bustling scenes of labor in the fields and the happy smiles on the farmers' faces.

She was genuinely happy for the progress of the machinery factory, and even more gratified for the people who would soon benefit from it.

Xu Tiansheng's visit this time wasn't just about bringing Long Lifan some New Year's benefits. He smiled and pulled a bulging envelope from his pocket, containing Long Lifan's due wages, and handed it to her. Long Lifan took the envelope, instantly understanding what was inside, and her face beamed with a joyful smile.

After finishing these matters, Xu Tiansheng turned his gaze to Lin Guodong, who was sitting to the side, and slowly said, "Captain Lin, I heard that your sons have all completed junior high school and are educated and knowledgeable. Our machinery factory is currently expanding, and there happens to be a temporary worker vacancy. Why don't you let your son give it a try? Maybe he can handle it!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Guodong was both shocked and excited. Xu Tiansheng's words clearly meant he wanted to give their family a chance to work in the machinery factory! In those days, finding a job in the county was a source of great honor and pride. Even though it was just a temporary job, without connections and influence, such a thing was unthinkable!

"real!"

Lin Guodong still seemed somewhat unsure, so he asked again, receiving a nod of approval from Factory Director Xu. A warm feeling welled up in Lin Guodong's heart, and his gratitude towards Xu Tiansheng was palpable.

"As you know, Long Zhiqing is now a treasure of our machinery factory, a senior consultant! As her superior, it's my duty to solve her problems. But we're often busy in the county, and sometimes we can't take care of her, so I'll have to rely on you to look after her! Captain Lin, you have to help me take good care of her and make sure she doesn't suffer any grievances!"
