Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

Li Tianyi drove a tractor and climbed to the wasteland. The leaders got off the tractor. Although the road was bumpy, everyone's interest did not diminish in the slightest.

Li Tianyi didn't waste any time. He connected the sled and the tractor head and started plowing the land. After three rounds, everyone came to the plowed land, turned over the soil and checked the condition of the land.

After a while, the leader called everyone together and said, "Comrades, you have all seen the effect of the tractor this time. Tell us what you think."

"Commander, I think the tractor is a complete success. We can arrange for the factory to start production later."

"Yes, there is also this kind of sled, which can be driven by a tractor and can save us farmers a lot of energy."

"Yes, our factory has experience in producing machinery. Please leave this project to us. We will definitely not let our superiors down."

Director Yang was now anxious. This was a blatant poaching. If the samples produced by their own factory were to be produced in other factories, their steel rolling mill would lose all face.

"Commander, you can't do this. Our steel mill is already familiar with the production and assembly of tractors. Look at how good this set of samples is. This project should be placed in our factory."

The leader waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet. "Comrades, don't get excited. I understand how you feel, but I still need to report this matter to the minister, and then hold a meeting to discuss it before making a decision. Don't be impatient and wait for the next news."

Everyone quieted down, and then the leader looked at Li Tianyi, "Xiao Li, do you have anything else to add?"

"Commander, I have two more points to add. This sled can be made of either iron or wood. As long as the spikes are made of iron, it will save costs."

"Okay, Xiao Li said it very well. We can fully consider the current actual situation, combine inventions and creations with reality, and make better suggestions for national construction."

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Commander. Another thing is that we can try to export this tractor. I read a magazine in school before, saying that some countries in the world also need this kind of tractor. We can ask the comrades in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If we can earn foreign exchange for the country, wouldn't it be better?"

After hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought. They had not thought of this before, but after being reminded by Li Tian one by one, their eyes brightened up. They could really give it a try. If it really worked, they would have made a great contribution.

"Okay, I'll contact the comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs when I get back and discuss this matter with them."

"Xiao Li, you are such a treasure. You have only graduated for a few months, and you have accomplished so many things in a row."

"Thank you for the compliment, sir. Actually, this is all my experience in school. For example, I started drawing the tractor when I was in school."

Everyone nodded, saying that this was reasonable, as no one could invent something in just one month.

Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, Director Yang hurriedly said, "Commander, the factory has prepared a celebration banquet for today, and you can just make it today. What do you think?"

The leader thought about it and agreed. He was really happy about what happened today, and he didn't want to offend Director Yang. "Okay, let's make an exception today and go try the steel mill's craftsmanship."

When they went back, Li Tianyi was still driving the tractor. After everyone got off the tractor, Li Tianyi went to lock the warehouse, while the others went to the small box.

Today, Sha Zhu received the notice to cook special meals early in the morning, but he kept muttering while he was cooking, saying that the leaders were eating the blood and sweat of the workers, and that the leaders were eating meat while he was drinking soup.

Everyone busy in the kitchen ignored him. Shazhu was just a fool who might get mad at someone and couldn't take a joke at all.

The canteen director came to the kitchen to inform Sha Zhu that he could start cooking. Only then did Sha Zhu get up from the recliner and start working.

Xu Damao quietly walked into the kitchen, "Shazhu, do you know who we're inviting tonight?"

"Silly man, do you know?" Sha Zhu said while cutting vegetables.

"Hey, you're looking down on me, of course I know that, but why should I tell you, idiot?"

"You can tell me if you want to, but I don't want to know. Get out of here right now. The kitchen is a restricted area and outsiders are not allowed to enter."

"Ma Hua, quickly kick this Xu Damao out."

Ma Hua, a boy of six or seven years old, had only been in the factory for a few months when he was taken in as an apprentice by Sha Zhu, but so far he had not been taught anything.

Liu Lan, who was picking vegetables nearby, curled her lips and looked down on Sha Zhu. He usually didn't share the leftovers in the cafeteria with everyone, but took them away for himself. He also skimped on the ingredients when cooking for himself, and called it the leaders eating meat and the workers drinking soup.

As for Ma Hua, he was on guard against him everywhere and sent Ma Hua away when he was cooking. Only the silly boy Ma Hua happily followed Sha Zhu.

After Ma Hua kicked Xu Damao out, he was sent by Sha Zhu to wash dishes. In short, he was not allowed to stay in front of the stove.

The dishes were ready very quickly. You might say Shazhu was stupid, but he still knew to ask the canteen manager what the customers liked today. But you could say he was not stupid, as he was fooled around by Qin Huairu in the courtyard.

When Liu Lan brought the dish over, the leader was very satisfied after tasting it. He asked Director Yang if he had asked a chef from the restaurant to cook for him. Director Yang quickly denied it and said that it was cooked by the chef from the factory cafeteria.

This aroused everyone's curiosity, so Director Yang asked someone to call Sha Zhu over. The big boss talked to Sha Zhu for a few words and felt that Sha Zhu was okay, so he wanted to invite Sha Zhu to his house to cook.

Director Yang agreed of course. Li Tianyi just watched quietly. This was Sha Zhu's opportunity and there was no need for him to ruin it. It would not benefit him in any way.

But Sha Zhu, this fool, was not crazy. He felt very uncomfortable watching Li Tianyi sitting there steadily eating the food he cooked. Adding to the old grudges, Sha Zhu wanted to teach Li Tianyi a lesson and make him avoid him in the future.

Li Tianyi was eating quietly when he suddenly felt a malicious gaze staring at him. Li Tianyi looked up and saw Sha Zhu looking at him viciously.

Li Tianyi thought, I didn't offend this idiot, why is he doing this? But he knew that Sha Zhu would not wait for revenge, so he had to be careful when he returned home.

After a few words, Director Yang let Sha Zhu go. Both the host and the guests had a great time during the meal. Before leaving, the big boss also told Li Tianyi to submit the experimental report to the department within two days. Li Tianyi promised to complete the task.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Li Tianyi staggered home on his bicycle. He was not drunk tonight, he just did it for everyone to see.

At the same time, he was also paralyzing Sha Zhu, as he didn't know what action Sha Zhu would take.
