Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

No matter what, the honeycomb coal factory has nothing to do with Chen Changan. The initial relationship with the factory is no longer there after Chen Changan asked for the return of the coal.

As for Liu Yixun, that was not something Chen Changan could do. Besides, from some aspects, he was not wrong.

Sacrificing the interests of a small number of people to maximize more meaningful interests is completely correct in the eyes of some people.

Maybe he won't be punished, but may even be appreciated by some people.

After completing the new orders from the department, Chen Changan's motorcycle factory continued to increase its production.

Taking this opportunity, Liu Binghui exchanged a lot of things from somewhere.

The first is a single dormitory. There is no way, the motorcycle factory was established too late. Although I listened to Chen Changan's advice and cooperated with the street office to roughly repair some of the damaged courtyards.

But it is impossible to arrange all of them to work in the courtyard at once. Only those workers who meet the requirements can be employed.

So even if the restored courtyard house is empty, houses cannot be allocated at will, otherwise there will be real trouble.

There are also some single young people who came from the countryside and are temporary workers.

What should be done with these people? Should they also be assigned to the quadrangle? Obviously, this is impossible, and these people make up the majority of the motorcycle factory.

Liu Binghui had to ask for help from many people before he got a batch of building materials. He was just waiting for the spring to start construction.

During this conversation with Chen Changan, Liu Binghui also learned about the global level of the motorcycles produced by the motorcycle factory.

Chen Changan predicts that if the sales of motorcycles are good, the factory's output will probably be even higher next year, which will require more workshops and more people.

Liu Binghui even believed Chen Changan's words and had begun to make preparations in terms of recruiting people and accommodation.

Secondly, Liu Binghui also visited Nanjiao Farm and chatted with Director Meng of Nanjiao Farm for a while.

By borrowing Chen Changan's name, he obtained a lot of greenhouse vegetables.

That’s right, when Chen Changan first suggested to Nanjiao Farm, greenhouse vegetables had already been a success.

In the old city, it is really not easy to have so many vegetables in the winter.

The greenhouse vegetables from Nanjiao Farm were basically delivered according to the plan. The first batch of vegetables that were about to be planted on a larger scale were directly given to Liu Binghui.

In the end, Liu Binghui used Chen Changan's connections to find Director Huang at the aquatic product supply company and exchanged a lot of hairtail.

Nowadays, hairtail is the best thing. After all, food and meat are in limited supply.

Although there is not as much hairtail as there were in the past two years, at least you can still buy it if you go to the vegetable market early in the morning.

This has become a must-have dish during the Chinese New Year and other festivals.

In this regard, Chen Changan's original proposal was also a great contribution. Director Huang also relied on this credit to firmly secure his position as the head of the aquatic supply company.

I also got a lot of canned food for Liu Binghui.

Liu Binghui was filled with emotion when he returned to the factory. During the New Year's welfare period, he could get a lot of things by just going out and borrowing Chen Changan's name.

Liu Binghui even planned to go to the small textile factory run by the street office to see if he could continue to use Chen Changan's name to exchange for some cloth.

Chen Changan has been in this world for so many years, and this is the only relationship he has, but Liu Binghui has brought out the best of him.

But what Chen Changan was concerned about at this time was not these things, but that it was almost the year 1960. There was still no snow this winter.

It is said that auspicious snow means a good harvest, but just like last year, this is not a good sign.

Unfortunately, Chen Changan could not change anything, and the method of artificial rainfall was also handed over. It seems that he can only make up for it through exports from the motorcycle factory, hoping to earn more foreign exchange for the country.

But Chen Changan can't do anything about the export. Sometimes you can't just sell what you produce at a low price.

At the same time, in the Huo family, the motorcycle originally named Dongfanghong by the department leader has been renamed Lingwei.

After the Huo family's extensive publicity in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, Lingwei motorcycles became a huge hit due to their relatively low price, fuel efficiency and good appearance.

Even the Huo family themselves did not expect that the first batch of 5,000 motorcycles would be sold out in less than five days in Hong Kong, with 2,000 of them sold out. In Southeast Asia, just because they were cheaper than American and Japanese motorcycles and there was no difference in riding them, 3,000 motorcycles were sold out in just one day.

It was only at this time that the Huo family reacted and quickly sent a telegram to the other side.

Chen Changan was still in his office, looking at the scenery outside the window, wondering when he would be able to get through the natural disasters of the past few years.

After returning home, Chen Changan also lamented that the New Year was becoming more and more deserted.

Due to food shortages, many families can barely get enough to eat, and many families only eat until they are 80% full every day.

This has caused many families to start reducing unnecessary activities, after all, lying still or going to bed early is better.

I'm running around in the yard so I won't get hungry that quickly.

Especially children, if they are hungry and don’t have food, they will just cry. Instead of not having food for them, it is better to

They were stopped when they were fighting.

The originally lively courtyard was now silent from all the chasing and fighting. Chen Changan's family was relatively well off, with his sisters and Nan Yi's children playing in the house.

There were sweet potatoes leaning against the stove. They would go back to check on them every once in a while. If they found any were ready, they would give one to Chen Changan first, and they would share the rest among themselves.

Chen Changan's family has a lot of sweet potatoes, and Xiuying would wash some sweet potatoes for them to roast every day. This was also Chen Changan's request. Otherwise, with Xiuying's personality, how could she let them eat like this every day.

Chen Changan's family was not short of food. The food stored in the cellar had basically not been used, but the food in several large jars in the kitchen was almost finished.

If things continue like this, Chen Changan feels that there won’t be any problems until June 4th or 1985.

Unfortunately, there is too little meat. After eating hairtail fish frequently, Chen Changan now feels a bit nauseous at the taste of hairtail fish.

Although it was a bad year and there was not enough food, thanks to Liu Binghui's efforts, the welfare of the workers in the motorcycle factory this year is much better than last year.

A worker could be given several cloth coupons, two cans of canned food, two kilograms of hairtail, or even a kilogram of green leafy vegetables.

This made many people very happy, because the winter vegetable storage organized by the street office in previous years was cancelled this year.

Although there were indeed not many vegetables to eat in the winter in the old city in previous years, there were still a lot of cabbages stored for the winter.

With some radishes, potatoes and the like, the winter will be over.

Due to the drought this year, even the winter stored vegetables are gone, which has made the situation even worse for many food-deficient families.

The motorcycle factory was able to distribute fresh green leafy vegetables during the Chinese New Year. Don't worry about the amount, at least with so many people, everyone can get a little, that's a real talent.

Chen Changan gave the kilograms of vegetables to Nan Yi, because Nan Yi's family invited Chen Changan's family to celebrate the New Year together.
