Siheyuan: How many worlds does the system integrate?
Chapter 67: Cheer Up
The report letter stated that Li Xuewu was engaged in profiteering and had promiscuous relationships with both men and women.
Even the house where he hid the supplies and Chen Xueru's address were written clearly.
After receiving the report letter, Director Wang of the Street Office took it very seriously and immediately arranged for someone to verify the situation. The house mentioned in the letter did exist and was under Li Xuewu's name, but there was nothing in the house and it was just an empty house.
As to how Li Xuewu bought this house, people from the street office went to Li's home to find out the situation. The explanation given by Li's father was that his son had grown up and needed to prepare for marriage, so he gave him money and let him buy the house.
Chen Xueru was even more straightforward. She directly admitted that she knew Li Xuewu and that he was the godfather of her child. She then asked the people from the street office that as a single woman, she didn't need to report to the street office what kind of person she was dating. Li Xuewu seemed to be an adult, so even if the two of them got together in the future, they would not be prevented from getting married because of the age difference.
With just a few words, he directly retorted to the people from the street office.
At the factory, it was even more impossible for Director Yang to handle these matters personally. He asked the people in the office to investigate, and they replied that Li Xuewu had already left with the support team, so they simply threw the letter of complaint aside.
The speed of trains nowadays is really not good. Li Xuewu and his companions took a bumpy train for several days before arriving in Lanzhou, Gansu. After getting off the train, someone came to pick them up and they got directly on a truck. They had no time to rest and were ordered not to stick their heads out to look around.
After several days of truck travel, they arrived at a small town on the edge of the vast Gobi Desert. The truck drove directly into the factory area. Armed soldiers guarded the factory gate. After getting off the truck, they carried their luggage rolls and stood with the team.
On the rostrum, two men in military uniforms were waiting.
"Comrades, thank you for your hard work along the way. Let me introduce myself first. I am the director of our factory, my name is Lin Changshun, and next to me is the political commissar and factory secretary Cheng Shaozhi. You are all elites selected from factories across the country to support the construction. The secretary and I would like to welcome everyone here."
After a short pause, he continued, "The reason why we have called everyone here is to complete a great and arduous task. So everyone will work and live here for the next few years. So first of all, we must emphasize discipline. No one is allowed to leave the factory area, no one is allowed to contact the outside world, and letters to home are not allowed to mention the address and work content. All letters must be reviewed by the security personnel before they can be mailed!"
After hearing this, the workers below not only did not feel uncomfortable, but became excited instead.
Li Xuewu roughly guessed where he was and what he would do next.
The soldier on the rostrum continued, "Nowadays, it is different from previous years. Daily necessities are already available, so no one has to worry about life. Although everyone eats in the cafeteria, the rations for everyone are as follows: Intermediate workers get 10 catties of fine grains, 25 catties of coarse grains, one meat dish and two vegetables per month; senior workers get 15 catties of fine grains, 20 catties of coarse grains, two meat dishes and one vegetable per month, and three ounces of wine per week; wages and benefits are still based on the wage standards of the original units, and accommodation conditions are a little more difficult, with six people in one room."
Then BiliBala talked about a bunch of precautions and requirements.
Finally, he said, "Okay, the next step is to arrange the work and dormitory allocation. We are divided into four workshops here. Someone will come to call the roll and arrange everyone's work and accommodation. I welcome everyone here. We will have dinner tonight!"
After a round of warm applause, several soldiers in military uniforms came out and began to call out names one by one.
Li Xuewu and his master Chen Shouzheng were still assigned to the same workshop. Because they were master and apprentice, they were also assigned to the same welding group and the same dormitory.
The dormitories here are rows of flat houses. Each room of about 15 square meters has three bunk beds, a table in the middle, and a wooden cabinet with multiple doors in the corner against the wall. It looks similar to an old-style school dormitory.
I helped the master put the bedding on the lower bunk of a bed, threw my own bag on the upper bunk, and tidied it up. Of course, I couldn't let the master do this kind of work.
The master had already started chatting with the people in his dormitory. The other four people in the dormitory were from Northeast China, Shandong and Shanxi. They had different jobs. They lived in the same dormitory, and there were lathes, milling machines, planers, and welders.
After everything was settled, they first went to see the working environment in the workshop, and then had dinner in the cafeteria in the evening. The factory probably also took out the best things to entertain these new workers, even roasted whole lamb was prepared.
"Everyone, please don't be polite. I had someone hunt this yellow sheep specifically for me. The wine is also a local specialty. Even local people rarely get to eat it!" Director Lin stood on a bench, holding a bowl of wine and said to everyone.
The wine from the northwest was sharp and carried a hint of murderous intent. The yellow sheep was also very delicious, but it was a little too scarce. There were only two yellow sheep for several hundred people, and each person only got a few bites. However, Li Xuewu noticed that the factory director, secretary, and those cadres didn't touch a single bite of the meat. It seemed that the supplies were not as sufficient as they had said before!
But it doesn’t matter. Our predecessors were able to persist by eating wild vegetables, so why can’t I?
After dinner, Li Xuewu returned to the dormitory and took out a pen and paper. He wanted to write a letter to his family to let them know he was safe. There were many things he wanted to say in his mind, but he thought about it and none of them seemed appropriate. There were too many rules. He was not allowed to say this or write that. In the end, he could only write a few words to sum it up: "I have arrived. Everything is fine! Don't worry!"
In the end, there wasn't even a reply address, mainly because Li Xuewu didn't know where they were, only that they were in Gansu.
"Why don't you know what to write?" Master Chen Shouzheng sat next to Li Xuewu with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Yes, Master, I can't write anything. It's just the same few repetitive sentences over and over again!" Li Xuewu replied with a helpless smile.
"Just report that you are safe! I won't write a letter. You can add a few words and ask your brother to tell my family that we are both fine here!"
Li Xuewu nodded: "I see. Master, did the factory tell you what mission we were going to perform before we came here?"
Chen Shouzheng shook his head: "How could I possibly tell you about such a confidential matter? Director Yang only talked to me about an important mission in the northwest that needed support!"
He looked at the other four people with inquiring eyes, and they all said that they had not received any information before and were brought here directly after getting off the car.
It seems that everyone is the same. They have no idea where the destination is or what they are going to do specifically. However, the more secretive it is, the more Li Xuewu feels that it is related to that important project.
Starting from the next day, everyone started working as hard as ever.
In a place without any communication and entertainment facilities, all you can do is work, study, eat and sleep.
In addition to learning welding techniques from his master Chen Shouzheng every day, Li Xuewu also learns other techniques from several other people. When he has free time, he will go to the factory fleet to learn driving and car maintenance techniques.
Anyway, all the time has been used.
Since he was one of the younger people here, basically all the masters were willing to teach him. Even the factory director and the political commissar liked this young man who loved to learn.
Political Commissar Cheng Shaozhi is said to have been a top student majoring in mechanical engineering at Yenching University before liberation. He joined the revolution because of the outbreak of the war and became a high-level cadre after the victory. This time he took the initiative to ask to come here to serve as secretary and political commissar.
Seeing that Li Xuewu loved learning so much, Cheng Shaozhi took out some of his limited time to teach him university knowledge.
Li Xuewu was like a dry sponge thrown into the ocean, constantly absorbing water. In more than two years, his welding level had risen to level six and was about to reach level seven. His levels of other trades were also about the second or third level.
According to Political Commissar Cheng, the level of theoretical and cultural courses is already better than that of ordinary secondary technical school graduates, which is enough to be a technician in any large factory.
On this day, when Li Xuewu was studying seriously, extremely enthusiastic cheers suddenly broke out outside the workshop.
