1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Each word seemed to dance in his mind, trying to form a clear picture.

His eyes were sometimes sharp, sometimes confused, immersed in deep thought.

Suddenly, Li Dajiang stopped, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, as if a bolt of lightning illuminated his thoughts.

He finally figured out what that thought was!

His heart beat faster involuntarily and his blood boiled in his body.

This idea opened up a new horizon for him and made him look forward to the future. Li Dajiang turned around in a circle, as if to verify his idea.

He took a deep breath and clenched his fists.

Whatever the outcome, he was determined to give it a try.

This opportunity is of vital importance to him and he must not miss it.

Li Dajiang stood in front of Deputy Director Li's office, feeling nervous but also a little expectant.

He knocked on the door gently, and after hearing Deputy Director Li's response from inside, he slowly pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as he entered the office, Li Dajiang felt the enthusiasm of Deputy Director Li.

Deputy Director Li looked at him with a smile and personally poured him a cup of tea.

"Comrade Dajiang, come and sit down. I heard that your leg is healed? If I hadn't seen you, I wouldn't have believed it. Congratulations!"

Li Dajiang took the opportunity to sit over and answered cautiously, "Director Li, this was also a chance to find a good doctor. I didn't have much hope at the beginning, so I'm lucky to be able to cure him."

"Hey! I think he's recovered well, without any sequelae. There's no problem at all for him to come back to work at the factory!"

After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, the topic turned to wild boar meat.

Li Huaide said first: "Comrade Dajiang, there is no problem with your wife Wang Guifang's job. She will continue to do this job in the future, and she will be treated as a formal worker."

Upon hearing this, Li Dajiang immediately stood up excitedly, his eyes full of gratitude.

"Director Li, thank you so much! Your kindness and generosity will be remembered by my wife and I."

Li Huaide waved his hand and said with a smile: "Comrade Dajiang, I made this condition out of helplessness. Now that you have fulfilled your promise, I will definitely arrange a job for your wife Wang Guifang. Let's talk about the remaining wild boar meat. Comrade Dajiang, except for the wild boar weighing more than 200 kilograms that I requested, how much do the others weigh?"

Li Dajiang quickly replied, "Two of them weigh more than 200 kilograms, and the others weigh more than 100 kilograms. Pure meat must weigh at least 100 kilograms."

Li Dajiang clearly saw that after he finished speaking, the smile on Deputy Director Li's face became even brighter.

Li Huaide continued, "I heard that your village chief wants to exchange for food? To be honest, there is a shortage of food everywhere now, but it is not impossible to exchange for food. Although there is no fine grain, there is still coarse grain."

Li Dajiang immediately said that coarse grains were also acceptable.

Li Huaide slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, since you are so easy to talk to, let's settle this. I will exchange the wild boar meat for coarse grains at the market price. I will ask them to come over and share the meat later!"

Li Dajiang then took out the certificate issued by the village and handed it to Deputy Director Li.

He said, "Director Li, look, this is a letter of certification from the village. These wild boars were indeed hunted by the villagers in the mountains."

Li Huaide took the certificates with a smile and said, "The village chief in your hometown is very thoughtful. With these things, it will be easier to handle."

Li Dajiang breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that this matter finally had a good result.

Having just negotiated the exchange of wild boar meat for food and Wang Guifang's job, he now mustered up the courage to secure a job opportunity for his cousins.

"Director Li, I heard that the steel rolling mill is going to expand. I would like to ask, are there any requirements for the recruitment?" Li Dajiang asked cautiously.

Li Huaide was stunned when he heard this, then he looked at Li Dajiang and asked with a smile: "What's the matter? Do you have any ideas?"

Li Dajiang quickly told the situation of several cousins ​​in the village.

"Director Li, my cousins ​​are all very hardworking. They have no problem going hunting with me in the mountains. They are all very down-to-earth, just like my brother Li Dahe. As long as there is an opportunity, they will definitely work hard."

Li Huaide listened to Li Dajiang's words and fell into deep thought.

It’s good to be able to hunt. As the steel mill expands in the future, more and more supplies will be needed.

If there are a few people in the purchasing department who can hunt, and everything else is put aside, there will definitely be no problem with meat.

Li Dajiang was truly his timely help.

Li Dajiang looked at Director Li in silence and felt a little uneasy.

So, he continued, "My cousins ​​are all capable and hardworking. They are also very studious. We dare not ask for formal employment, but temporary employment or apprenticeship are fine. Director Li, do you think there are any suitable positions for them in our factory?"

Li Huaide had already figured out the key, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Sure, the steel mill is expanding, so the purchasing department will definitely need more people. Take some time to bring them over and let Section Chief Liu Ming take a look. It's not a problem to add a few temporary workers."

After hearing this, Li Dajiang felt much more relieved.

He quickly thanked Deputy Director Li profusely: "Director Li, thank you so much! You really helped us a lot. I will definitely let my cousins ​​work hard and live up to your expectations."

"Well, go find Liu Ming and put the wild boar into the warehouse. I will contact the people who exchanged food to come quickly!"

"Okay, Director Li, I'll go right away..."

After saying that, Li Dajiang immediately went to the purchasing department excitedly to find Liu Ming.

In the courtyard, when Li Weiguo woke up slowly, he found that Li Dajiang and others had already taken the wild boar meat to the steel rolling mill.

He sighed slightly. His father was really anxious. He would just have to wait if he went there so early. After all, the leader would not go there early.

It’s a pity that he woke up too late and didn’t have time to tell his father these words.

After Li Weiguo and his brothers finished their meal, they set off for school one after another.

On the way to school, He Yushui caught up with him as usual, and the two walked together.

Recently, He Yushui has been living a very comfortable life.

Since Sha Zhu and Chen Lanxiang got married, He Yushui's quality of life has been improving.

I have to say that Chen Lanxiang is very good at taking care of people. He Yushui has transformed from a poor little cabbage into a little princess.

Along the way, He Yushui chattered and shared interesting stories about her family, making this originally dull journey lively.

Li Weiguo listened with a smile and occasionally responded.

Their figures look particularly harmonious in the sunlight.

Not far away, Yan Jiefang and Liu Guangfu curled their lips as they watched them walking side by side.

Li Weiguo has always been lukewarm towards them, but he is closer to He Yushui.

These peers are somewhat jealous, but they can do nothing about it.

When I arrived at school, I sat in my seat, took out my textbook from my bag, and prepared to start a day of study.

Today was no different from usual, still the same familiar courses, without a trace of novelty.

The only thing that surprised Li Weiguo was that there was a physical education class this morning.

This is the first time Li Weiguo has taken a physical education class since the start of school.

To be honest, he was quite looking forward to this physical education class.

After all, in this age when people can’t even get enough food, how can students have the energy to run and exercise?
