Rebirth 80: Start by earning money to build a brick house

It was class time at the village primary school, and two teachers who were not in class came out to greet the leaders.

Secretary Guo was not the kind of person to put on airs, so he said calmly:

"Everyone can do their own business, and there is no need to interrupt the students in class. Today I just came here to see how the desks are being used, and just take a look outside."

The two teachers knew Secretary Guo's character, but they did not leave. They stayed by the side to dispatch him at any time.

Then several people lay outside the windows. The weather was relatively hot at the end of May, so all the windows were open, which did not hinder everyone's observation at all.

Secretary Guo observed very carefully. All classrooms have been replaced with new desks, and the previous mud mound tables have been replaced. This is not an easy task.

It seems that the Bottle Village brigade has improved the primary school in this village first. It is great that the commune can reduce the pressure on the primary school.

"Not bad, not bad." Secretary Guo nodded in praise.

Of course everyone knew that this praise was first given to Zhang Zhonghe and Zhang Ziming.

"Ziming, are the corners of these desks worn off?"

Secretary Guo asked doubtfully, because all the corners of these desks are rounded.

"Yes, were they all removed on purpose?" the education specialist also asked curiously.

"Yes, leaders, the corners of the table are too sharp, which is a safety hazard. Primary school students are generally naughty. It would be safer to polish the corners of the table into a rounded shape."

Zhang Ziming explained enthusiastically that the corner of the desk was intentional to distinguish it from other desks. Other desk makers do not yet have this awareness.

"Then will your efficiency in making desks be affected?" Secretary Guo's questions are all on point. At present, efficiency is the most important.

"Secretary Guo, the table corners can be polished by the carpenters. It will not affect the progress of the carpenters, but the overall efficiency will be slightly affected. Compared with the safety of the students, we would rather bear the impact on efficiency. , I don’t want to see any bumps and bruises among the students.”

Zhang Ziming's answer was very practical. It is normal for efficiency to be affected. If it is not normal, it is wrong. But compared with student safety, it is nothing. In 1980, the emphasis on education was already obvious.

Several leaders nodded in agreement and unanimously approved the answer.

Especially Wu Yilin, who specializes in education, already had a preliminary idea in his mind, but he still suppressed it and waited to see the furniture factory before bringing it up to Secretary Guo.

Secretary Guo has a pragmatic style. After coming out of the village primary school, they rushed to the furniture factory.

"Zhonghe, is this the former educated youth spot?" Standing at the door of the furniture factory, Secretary Guo asked with a little vicissitude.

"Yes, Secretary Guo, it was abandoned for a while and is now being reused. At first, there were seven or eight educated youths who came and went here permanently, but in the blink of an eye, they all returned to the city."

Zhang Zhonghe recalled that those years were considered special years and should never happen again in the future.

When a few educated youths came here, there were men and women, full of vitality. The old farmers in the village had never seen a woman with such supple skin, and they all rushed over to look at her as if they were looking at a rare thing.

"It's good to reuse it. There are no traces of the original." Secretary Guo sighed, obviously having some special memories.

After entering the door, I saw the safety production management regulations posted on the door, and I couldn't help but curiously asked:

"Did you compile these safety production regulations?"

Secretary Guo, including several others, felt that something was being made out of a molehill.

It's just such a small workshop, and it also has safety production regulations. The facade looks like a big factory in the county.

Several other wealthy brigades also have collective enterprises run by the brigades. Although they are called enterprises, they are actually just larger workshops. Several people have been there and have never seen any safety management regulations.

This is the first time I have seen safety production management regulations posted in a collective enterprise run by a brigade. The brick kiln factory of the Dabeihe brigade is relatively large. There are dozens of villagers working in the brick kiln factory, but there are no regulations. Come up with safety production regulations.

Zhang Zhonghe knew it was time for him to show off, so he took a step forward and explained:

"Several leaders, although our furniture factory is small and looks like a workshop, from the first day we started working, we referred to the regulations of the county wood factory and compiled several regulations that suit us."

"Leaders, our village is very poor. This is the first time we have used collective strength to set up a furniture factory. Everyone comes to watch the fun, especially the children in the village, who come here to play. These carpenter tools are quite dangerous. After several meetings of our branch committees, we have decided to carry out formalized management............."

Zhang Zhonghe was talking seriously, and Zhang Ziming on the side almost laughed.

Secretary Guo looked at Zhang Zhonghe who was talking eloquently. He couldn't believe that Zhang Zhonghe could still have this consciousness?

It's not that I look down on him. If he had this consciousness, he would have had the courage to take out a loan to open a collective enterprise. Can he wait until now?

Looking at Zhang Ziming's suppressed smile next to him, there's nothing he doesn't understand.

He waved his hand towards Zhang Zhonghe and interrupted his speech:

"Zhonghe has made some progress. Let's go in and take a look at your inventory."

Production is booming. Although there are not many people, they are all hardworking and dedicated. Working here is better than working in the fields.

New desks were neatly stacked on the side, and they were covered with rainproof cloth.

There is inventory and production is still going on, so we can definitely take on the current task of replacing desks.

This was what Secretary Guo and several other leaders were thinking at the time.

"Zhonghe, and Ziming, you have solved a big problem for the commune this time. It is the busy farming season soon. I guess other communes must be working overtime temporarily, and the desks will never be as neat and uniform as ours."

Secretary Guo still said a few words of emotion from the perspective of the commune. Other communes must still gather people in twos and threes to rush the production, and they cannot be unified in terms of speed, quality, and style.

Of course, Zhang Zhonghe and Zhang Ziming would not follow up Secretary Guo's praise like this. They both sang high notes for a while first.

Wu Yilin, a specialist in education, had an idea just now. Now he saw the inventory and actual production of the furniture factory, and couldn't help but mention to Secretary Guo:

"Secretary Guo, I have a suggestion to make to you."

Let me mention it, you, Wu Yilin, specialize in education. You have to make a good plan for this major rectification of educational facilities. Starting from the conference tomorrow, you must devote yourself to this matter.

Wu Yilin's mind was spinning quickly, and he just heard him say:

"My idea is this. This thing has just been arranged. We have so much inventory and detailed production plans. I think it is a good opportunity to promote our commune. I plan to... ....."

Everyone is in favor of the proposal of educating people specializing in martial arts.

Everyone is in the officialdom and knows what this means. Secretary Guo is no exception. Who doesn't want to show up in the whole county.

Although Zhang Ziming is not an official, he still agrees with Wu Yilin. This is a good opportunity to promote the furniture factory and show its prominence.
