Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

On Tuesday, Zhao Shanhe went to see the logistics director as soon as he got to work.

Zhao Shanhe told the logistics director about his desire to make a few pieces of furniture. The logistics director said it was no problem for a small matter as there wasn't much work in the factory recently and a few carpenters could get the job done in a day or two.

Zhao Shanhe asked how much money was needed and prepared to give the money to the logistics director to let him arrange everything. The logistics director had already listened to Li Huaide's instructions and was doing his best to help Zhao Shanhe with his matters.

The logistics director said he didn't want any money, it was just a few rotten pieces of wood that had been exposed to the sun for too long and they were about to report them as damaged. Zhao Shanhe happened to help deal with them. I can't thank him enough, it's just that the workers had a hard time.

Zhao Shanhe said he understood that the wood factory needed to make some losses because the workers needed to give some benefits. He could then give his father-in-law some money to buy a few packs of cigarettes and the matter would be settled.

As soon as he arrived at the office, Chief Engineer Lin came to ask Zhao Shanhe if he had any projects. If not, ask him to help him. Zhao Shanhe had heard that Chief Engineer Lin's project was basically in the final stage. Asking him for help at this time was to share the credit with Zhao Shanhe and thank him for the credit he had shared last time.

Zhao Shanhe said it was no problem, he thought it was a good idea to give free credit to Chief Engineer Lin, so he could return the favor.

Zhao Shanhe is also considering what project to research, at least to complete the project before the due date and welcome the arrival of a new life.

After repeated consideration, Zhao Shanhe decided to plagiarize the combine harvester. This was relatively simple. Once the research was completed, it would coincide with the summer harvest and he could conduct experiments immediately. What he plagiarized in college was the harvester, so it didn't seem particularly abrupt to develop a combine harvester now.

The rolling mill is going to be put aside for a while, as the previous technology is still being studied internationally.

After considering it carefully, I have to go to Chief Engineer Lin and Li Huaide to discuss it.

Zhao Shanhe reported the research direction to Chief Engineer Lin, who said there was no problem. Wu Cheng and Li Hu would continue to assist Zhao Shanhe after they completed their projects. Wu Cheng and Li Hu were the two technicians in front, who usually ran errands for Zhao Shanhe.

Zhao Shanhe was already very familiar with Li Huaide's office. After adding water to Li Huaide's teacup, Zhao Shanhe made himself a cup of tea, picked up a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes on Li Huaide's desk and lit one for himself.

"Why, do you need any help in my office today?" Li Huaide asked

"If you have nothing to do, then don't come and chat with Brother Li," Zhao Shanhe said

"Come on, you never come to the temple for no reason. You only think of your brother Li when something happens," Li Huaide teased.

"I've had enough rest during this period of time. I'm ready to work on a new project. I came here to report to you," Zhao Shanhe said casually as if he was chatting with a friend. He was already very familiar with Li Huaide, so there was no need to be distant with him. Getting along this way would make their relationship closer.

"Actually, you don't need to rush. We've already risen fast enough last time, and now we've just stabilized. No matter how big the contribution is this time, it's estimated that we won't move again. It's better to rest for a while, make a big move after a while, and then move again," said Li Huaide.

"I'm afraid that I won't have enough time. My wife is already three months pregnant. If I wait a little longer, everything will probably come together. Otherwise, it will be next year at the earliest," Zhao Shanhe explained. (Next year, 66, will be the beginning of the storm. From next year on, he will have a stable life. He should save some merits now.)

"What are you going to study? Do you have any clues? Is half a year too tight? If not, why not put it off until next year?" Li Huaide said

"There is more than enough time. Let's not talk about whether the project has any progress. Now we have the blueprints. You know I studied harvesters in college. This time I plan to make a combine harvester. With the previous foundation, it will be quick this time. I estimate that I can finish it in about two months, just in time for the summer harvest, and I can start the experiment directly," Zhao Shanhe said confidently.

"Okay, if you have an idea, let's do it. I'll do all the coordination work. Although your position won't change much after this achievement, at least you will be more confident when you go to meetings and ask for things in the future," said Li Huaide.

"I just want to ask you, should we do it ourselves or find an agricultural machinery factory to cooperate with us? After all, we are not in the same system," Zhao Shanhe asked

"Let's do it ourselves. I just heard that a small agricultural machinery factory has the idea of ​​merging with it recently. Isn't this a good idea for us? Although the systems are different, they are both machinery. I will talk to the leader and ask him to transfer his agricultural machinery factory to our steel rolling mill. Once the agricultural machinery factory is taken over, our steel rolling mill will be more important." Li Huaide said

"Will it work? After all, the systems are different," Zhao Shanhe said

"Why not? When we have research results, we will have the final say. Even if it doesn't work out, we will have bargaining power. At the very least, we can get a piece of the pie," said Li Huaide.

"Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to figure it out?" Zhao Shanhe said

"You have calculated the time, so you must have everything planned out," Li Huaide said.

After talking about work, the two began to chat

"By the way, has Xu Damao been promoted? He just came to report his work to me," Li Huaide asked

"I am just a skilled worker. Whether I am promoted or not is not up to you leaders," Zhao Shanhe said.

"Xu Damao is your man, so I have to ask for your opinion before making a decision," Li Huaide said.

Zhao Shanhe knew that Li Huaide valued him, but he didn't expect Li Huaide to value him so much.

Xu Damao's status has changed from a worker to a cadre. He moved with Zhao Shanhu some time ago. Xu Damao told Zhao Shanhe about this.

"Then promote him," Zhao Shanhe said

"Do you need to promote your brother's wife as well?" Li Huaide said

"Forget about Jingru. She's easy to be criticized. She hasn't been working for long. Her current position is pretty good. There's no need to suspend her after a while," Zhao Shanhe said.

In the evening, Xu Damao came over and invited Zhao Shanhe to drink and gave him a small yellow croaker. He also knew that since Zhao Shanhe took him to meet the leader at his wedding last time, he had been labeled as Zhao Shanhe, and if he wanted to get promoted, he would need Zhao Shanhe's help.

He also told Zhao Shanhe about his work report to Li Huaide today.

The story was that Zhou Yuanyuan was pregnant, and Xu Damao didn't want to go to the countryside to show movies anymore. A few years ago, with the guidance of Zhao Shanhe, he asked Section Chief Wang to help him get a cadre identity.

Now that several of his apprentices can show movies independently and have received a lot of letters of praise, Xu Damao felt that the time was ripe and went to report to Li Huaide.

The work content reported was three small yellow croakers. The purpose of finding Zhao Shanhe was to implement it. I hope Zhao Shanhe can say a few good words to Li Huaide, and the matter will be settled. He will be the deputy section chief of the Propaganda Department in the future.
