At this time, Wang Shouren and Wang Shouyi, along with Qian Minghua and several other cadres, were heading towards the steel-making base that had been temporarily built only half a month ago.
Next to them were groups of militiamen, who, like them, were carrying backpacks and tools, but the difference was that they had more guns in their hands.
There was a militia captain in front. He gave each soldier a small flag. He held the red flag high and marched in formation. "One, two, one, one, two, three, four!" This was the beginning of the singing.
“Socialism is good, socialism is good…Communism will definitely come, it will definitely come!” The song is majestic and loud.
Along the way, they would stop at the canteen wherever they went and leave after eating.
It took two hours to reach the steelmaking base.
The surroundings were very empty. Wang Shouren had driven Qian Shulan through Prince Bay several times before, so he recognized this place.
But, obviously, things have changed a lot here.
The roads that were once lined with lush trees have now turned into earthen blast furnaces.
When they arrived, someone came to greet them immediately, "You are from the Wangjia Village Production Brigade, right? I am Liu Hongjun, the team leader who will lead you in steelmaking. I will arrange work for you in the future. I will take you to the shed first. We must hurry. I heard that Sanjiang County has already started ironmaking. We must hurry as well and not fall behind them."
In a hurry, without any pause.
When we got to the shed, we found that it was really a shed. It was made of a simple tripod with a piece of wood in the middle and covered with straw mats.
The space is only enough to accommodate one person. If your legs are longer, they will probably be exposed.
After putting down his backpack, Liu Hongjun began to assign tasks to everyone. "We are the tenth group, mainly responsible for the six blast furnaces 61 to 66. Don't get the wrong place. The three of you are responsible for transporting coal, the three of you are responsible for getting raw materials, and the three of you are responsible for pulling the bellows to light the fire, and the three of you are responsible for the safety of the earthen blast furnaces..."
Because Wang Shouyi and Wang Shouren stood close to each other, they were assigned to the same group, responsible for burning the blast furnace.
I stay under the blast furnace every day and absorb the most substances.
Both of them started picking up the masks that their mother had specifically asked them to bring.
Others looked at Wang Shouyi and his brother and laughed, "I never saw you guys being so pretentious when we were working before, but now you guys are pretending, it's embarrassing."
Seeing that the two actually had this thing, Liu Hongjun nodded with satisfaction, "You two are really good, you actually know these things." He glanced at everyone and said, "If you also have masks, wear them."
Liu Hongjun is a front-line employee of Wutai Iron and Steel Plant, and he is naturally well aware of the hidden dangers in iron smelting.
He also wore a mask when he was working in the steel factory, but now that he is a team leader, he naturally cannot speak with a mask on, otherwise people would not be able to hear him clearly.
Everyone shook their heads. These masks are made of fine gauze. They don't have the money to buy them. It's only the aunt who is willing to spend so much money on the two children.
Qian Minghua also took out two masks from his trouser pocket and handed one to Wang Shouquan.
Wang Shouquan took it and teased, "Your wife is really generous. She even made a mask for you."
Qian Minghua sighed. Her wife was not a knowledgeable person. She hurriedly explained, "This is something that Third Aunt asked me to bring to you."
Wang Shouquan was stunned for a moment, then he felt a little uncomfortable. Everyone had heard about the grievances of the older generation. His mother and Third Aunt had been at odds for more than ten years, and this was no secret in the village.
Qian Yehua glanced at the two brothers Wang Shouren and said with a smile, "My aunt didn't come to your door in person because she was afraid that your mother was still angry with her."
Wang Shouquan didn't say anything, and it seemed that he agreed.
Qian Weihan also took out the mask his sister had prepared for him and followed his peers to the quarry to mine.
There was only one quarry in Liuguan County, but there was not much ore in it. In order to complete the task earlier, Beitai Iron and Steel Plant directly smelted the scrap iron.
These ores were refined by these beginners.
Just when things were going on in full swing here, Guo Changrong, the commander-in-chief of the Iron Marshal operation, heard that Pan Dinglin was coming.
He immediately stood up and ordered his men to go and welcome the person.
After Pan Dinglin entered the tent, he smiled warmly and said, "Old Guo, I brought you some food."
Guo Changrong also smiled with wrinkles all over his face, "Old Pan, why did you come here in person? Come on, come on, sit down."
Then he told the clerk to hand over the food, "Hurry up and knock on the table to let everyone come over for dinner. We haven't slept for three days and two nights, don't let your stomach get hungry."
Pan Dinglin asked the staff of the grain station to go and make contact with them. After everyone had left, he began to ask, "How is it going? Have you produced molten iron?"
Guo Changrong scowled, looking worried, "Not yet."
Pan Dinglin frowned, looking somewhat unhappy. "Old Guo, you didn't do this on purpose, did you? It's been more than a month, and you still haven't even produced molten iron? I just came from the Beitai Iron and Steel Plant, and they have already produced two tons."
Guo Changrong was scolded by him, but he was not angry. He sat down next to Pan Dinglin and argued with him, "Old Pan, do you think these two things are the same? Beitai Iron and Steel Plant does this. Their plant uses ore to smelt, and can produce one ton a day. Now they use pig iron directly to smelt, so it's not surprising that the speed is fast. But these people are farmers in the countryside and have never smelted. Even if the employees of Beitai Iron and Steel Plant come to help, they have several years of knowledge, can those farmers learn it all at once? Do you think I'm not anxious? I haven't slept for three days, and I'm so anxious that my mouth is full of blisters."
Hearing this, Pan Dinglin immediately looked at his face. Tsk, you don't know until you see it, you will be shocked. Guo Changrong's eyes were full of red bloodshot, and the blisters in his mouth were too scary.
He couldn't help but move to the side a little. Guo Changrong rubbed his brows and sighed, "If I had known this task was so difficult, I wouldn't have competed with you for it. I just wanted to show off once and prove to the leaders above that I am also devoted to the Party, but who would have thought it would be so difficult."
Seeing his mortal enemy showing regret, Pan Dinglin suddenly felt a sense of relief. You deserve it! You tricked me!
But he still had to put in some effort on the surface. He patted Guo Changrong on the shoulder and said, "Old Guo, don't be discouraged! You should work hard. As long as you do a good job, the party will definitely see your loyalty."
Guo Changrong nodded and asked, "Have you arranged for the members of Wangziwan and Xiaowangzhuang?"
When he mentioned this, Pan Dinglin's face suddenly darkened. He really didn't want to bring up this matter. Could he have done this on purpose
Pan Dinglin looked at Guo Changrong's face and saw that he looked sincere.
"It's already October, and winter will come in a few months. When it snows heavily, the members will definitely suffer from the cold. They are all good citizens of our country. You can't let them freeze to death or starve to death like in the old society. That would be a disgrace to our party."
Seeing that he was getting too serious, Pan Dinglin hurriedly said, "I'll arrange it as soon as possible. Aren't we looking for a place now?"
He complained again, "It's easy to find a place, but you cut down all the trees for firewood. Where can I find trees to build houses for them?"
Guo Changrong was stunned for a moment, then frowned, "What are you talking about? I don't need so many trees to make steel. You should build houses for them first, so that the members can live in peace and not sleep outside all day. It's not a good influence."
Pan Dinglin immediately nodded in agreement, and finally they started discussing where to build the house.
Guo Changrong did not raise any objections. "You decide. I am busy making steel now, so I don't have time to deal with these trivial matters."
Pan Dinglin nodded.
After finishing his words, Pan Dinglin proposed to go and watch the steelmaking process.
Guo Changrong did not deny it and accompanied him out.
Now we work in shifts. When one group of people goes to eat, another group takes over.
I'm not worried because there's no one at the blast furnace.
As they walked, they looked up and saw black chimneys rising up in the blue sky.
Pan Dinglin looked at everyone working happily and knew that Guo Changrong was not just trying to fool him.
Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly saw a man in front of him adding charcoal to the stove.
Guo Changrong was a little puzzled and followed him.
"What's your name?" Pan Dinglin frowned and looked at Wang Shouren, scolding him coldly.
Wang Shouren was so frightened that he almost dropped the shovel in his hand. He turned around and saw two men in Zhongshan suits. He immediately guessed that they were not ordinary people.
He immediately raised his shovel and answered, "My name is Wang Shouren, from the Wangjia Village Production Brigade."
Pan Dinglin asked, "Why are you wearing a mask? This is our country's iron marshal. Why do you dislike him?"
Wang Shouren didn't understand what he meant at first, but when he saw that his tone was wrong, he quickly took off his mask, clenched his fist and coughed into his mouth, "No, leader, I have lung disease and have to wear a mask. Otherwise, it would be bad if I spread the disease to others."
Pan Dinglin's expression eased a little, but before he could say anything, Wang Shouyi came over and saw that he was also wearing a mask. "He is sick too?"
Wang Shouyi nodded quickly, "Yes, I am his younger brother, and I was infected by him at home."
Pan Dinglin's face darkened. From the dusty facial features of the two men, he could see that they were somewhat similar, so he was not lying.
He quickly took two steps back.
Guo Changrong hurriedly said, "Hurry up and get to work." He smiled at Pan Dinglin and said, "Before, I told those team leaders that those with health problems must wear masks, otherwise they will infect others and it will definitely delay our ironmaking progress."
Pan Dinglin nodded casually, feeling that the tone here was extremely confusing, and decided not to look any further, so he quickly took his people and left.
After the people left, Guo Changrong sighed heavily in the direction he had just been.
The country is really poor. It can’t even provide each worker with a mask.
Qian Shulan was carrying a bamboo basket on her back and looking at the carts of iron products being pulled opposite her. She was stunned for a long time.
Are these iron rakes, sickles, and plowshares? Are all these going to be handed over for iron smelting
She pretended to be very curious and asked, "Are you going to the fields or to the steel mill?"
A man saw that it was an old lady, and he became a little impatient, and said casually, "Of course it's iron smelting. Why do you go to the fields with so many tools? You can't give me two taels of dried sweet potatoes to eat."
As he said this, he urged the people in front, "Hurry up, we must strive to be the first. We lost to Zhaojia Village last time when we ran the canteen, and we can't lose again this time."
Everyone had no choice but to continue on their way.
Qian Shulan stood there, looking at the deep tire ruts and the sky filled with black smoke. She felt extremely depressed.
When she returned home, she found Wang Shouzhi had returned. Qian Shulan was a little surprised. After asking around, she found out that he was also going to the steel plant to provide support. He was a seconded employee and was still paid.
Qian Shulan let him sleep in Zhengguo's room.
In the evening, Qian Shulan rode Wang Shouzhi's bicycle to the steel plant.
Halfway through her journey she ran into the same group of people.
Qian Shulan saw that these people were beginning to doze off, so she immediately put the bicycles into the space, went over to the farm tools, and put all of them into the space.
Didn't they want to be advanced? She made sure they could never get it. She even ignored the crops in the fields. It was so abominable!
After taking it, she turned and left.
