Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Chapter 217 Pian Ye Wants to Sell His House

The doctor felt his eyes were polluted when he saw Jia Zhang's disgusting expression.

MD lost five dollars on the deal.

"Okay, just leave now."

Jia Zhang didn't care about the other party's attitude and left the clinic with the medicine.

With the painkillers, Jia Zhang stopped making trouble when she returned home.

She hid the two bottles of medicine with her and did not dare let Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu find them.

When Wang Jianjun learned that Jia Zhang had escaped, he became a little worried, so he found time to return to Laoyugou Village.

The villagers have now joined the people's commune.

Like Zhangjia Village, the villagers also enjoyed free food and drink for a period of time after joining the commune.

Because of this, the old village chief had many quarrels with the commune director.

The old village chief didn't believe at all that one could eat and drink well by joining the commune.

He only knew that there would be enough food for people depending on how much the land produced.

Where do you get food for no reason?

After all, people as far-sighted as the old village chief are a minority.

Most people are attracted by short-term benefits.

When food shortages began, everyone started to complain.

Wang Jianjun sighed helplessly.

Even he couldn't do anything about it.

People's communes are now being promoted throughout China.

Do you dare to say it is wrong?

Now Wang Jianjun can only take care of his family members and make sure they don’t go hungry.

After Wang Decai joined the commune, he was actually planning to hand over all the grain.

But Wang Yueying, who was quick-witted, was wary.

Hide half of the food in the house and only hand over the other half.

In fact, many smart villagers do this.

"If I hadn't stopped them, we would be starving now. We can't even get enough food in the commune cafeteria. The people in the commune even asked us to smash the pots at home and hand them in. Luckily, I didn't listen to them and hid the pots on the beams."

Wang Yueying also felt a little sad when talking about her experiences during this period.

If she wasn't there, this family would really be hungry.

Wang Jianjun looked at the place where the grain was stored at home.

There are some on the beams, in the cellar, and even on the bottom of the bed.

Anyway, some food was hidden in batches wherever there was room for hiding.

"Fortunately, we have the food you brought last time. At the end of the year, the commune distributed some food, which is enough for the New Year."

"Uncle, I brought you some rice this time. It's easier to store than flour. Just keep it well. I'll get you more if you don't have enough food."

Wang Defa refused several times but failed and finally accepted the rice.

He really needed the food.

Although they said that there was enough food at home, that was based on the premise that they could either go hungry or have a full meal.

Children like these two are still growing up and can eat more.

The situation is similar for other households in the village. The food in the commune canteen is not enough to fill their stomachs, and they have to rely on the food stored at home to fill their stomachs.

Wang Jianjun knows that the natural and man-made disasters starting next year will only be more difficult.

But he couldn't say it openly.

The countryside was in chaos because of the people's commune movement.

The city isn't much better.

The Great Steelmaking Campaign lasted for several months, and although steel production increased on the surface.

But most of the steel produced is substandard.

Some simply handed in some lumps of molten iron mixed with some unknown metals.

This lump of iron is re-smelted by the steel mill and then transported to various state-owned factories.

Among them is the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

Products made from this unqualified steel are definitely not usable.

The factory engineers reported the situation immediately after testing this batch of gold steel.

But Li Huaide, who was in charge of purchasing, was at a loss.

He is the leader in charge of the procurement of this batch of steel materials.

Now there is a big problem with steel, and he, as a leader, must take responsibility.

Li Huaide originally wanted to find someone at the steel plant to return the goods.

But I was told that the goods had been sold and no returns or exchanges were accepted.

The other party's attitude was also very tough.

This Great Steelmaking Movement was directed by a great man.

If you dare to question whether there is anything wrong with this batch of steel, you are questioning a great man.

Li Huaide was at a loss.

He didn't expect that the other party would actually do this.

Li Huaide was in bad luck, and Director Yang on the other side was not much better off.

It turns out that since the beginning of this year, the relationship between Russia and China has begun to become somewhat tense.

The Russian bear began to recall some of its experts.

The steel rolling mill's routine production tasks cannot be carried out without these experts.

Most of the engineers in the factory are half-baked.

I haven't mastered all the techniques yet.

But those experts from the Russian bear country will not teach you the real technology.

So as soon as these experts left, problems with production began to arise in the factory.

Director Yang was also very anxious.

He is not a technical person.

I don't know much about production.

I can only give the factory's technicians and engineers a boost every few days.

But the lack of technology cannot be compensated by passion.

Not only steel mills, but many other factories have been greatly affected.

Naturally, the leaders have to deal with these things in the factory, and it has nothing to do with Wang Jianjun.

He is still a nobody in the factory.

As long as he completes the tasks every month and helps his team members to make up some of their task targets, he doesn't get involved in other matters.

Because the purchasing department adjusted the purchasing targets, several buyers were transferred to the workshop because they failed to complete their tasks.

Of course, these are people from Group 2.

With Wang Jianjun's support, the people in Group 3 don't worry about being transferred.

Only Li Xinmin was so angry that his teeth were itching.

Li Yuanfang told him secretly.

The people in Group 3 were able to get so many supplies with the help of Wang Jianjun.

But you, Wang Jianjun, don’t even know how to bring more supplies to the factory.

How can Li Xinmin make progress without sufficient supplies?

Of course, Wang Jianjun didn't care about Li Xinmin's thoughts.

Even if the other party dislikes him, there's nothing they can do about it.

There was not even any small shoes for him to wear.

The situation in the country was in chaos, and Wang Jianjun thought that out of sight, out of mind, he decided to focus on his business in Hong Kong.

At this time, Wu Jing contacted him and said that Pian Ye was looking for him to discuss something.

Knowing that Pian Ye was looking for him, Wang Jianjun also had a guess.

Thinking that he hadn't met Wu Jing for a long time, Wang Jianjun simply invited the two of them to Xu Huizhen's pub for a drink and chat.

Wang Jianjun hadn't been to the tavern for a long time and he missed it a lot.

This would be October.

The weather was neither cold nor hot, so it was quite comfortable to have a drink in the tavern.

Wang Jianjun was the host of this drinking party and he arrived at the tavern an hour early.

Xu Huizhen is a very tactful person. When she saw Wang Jianjun coming, she greeted him.

I've only been here twice, but the proprietress still remembers my name.

Looking at Xu Huizhen's shoulder-short hair, Wang Jianjun was basically certain that Pian Ye approached him this time because he was planning to sell his ancestral courtyard house and go to the Northeast to do business.
