According to Feng Xiaochen's original intention, he wanted Ning Mo to find a bicycle for him, and then each of them rode to the stope. www.biquge.info Who would have thought that after listening to Ning Mo's instructions, the handsome young man named Zhao Yang trotted away all the way, and after a while, he actually drove a jeep without a canopy over. The car looked like it was some years old, the patent leather on the outside was mottled, and the engine sounded like it had asthma. But in any case, it's a car, and it's a car that can drive.

"His dad was a mechanic for the car team. Ning Mo pointed at Zhao Yang and explained to Feng Xiaochen. In addition to the trucks transporting ore, there are also dozens of jeeps, all of which have been transferred by higher-level authorities under the banner of field investigation. Some of the early cars were nominally scrapped, but in fact they could still be driven, anyway, in such a place far away from the emperor of the sky, no one would seize the substandard vehicles.

What Zhao Yang drove over was an old-fashioned jeep that had been thrown in the repair workshop, and it is said that its history can be traced back to the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. The vast majority of domestic jeeps are copycats imitated from American Jeep, and the word "Jeep" is not a brand concept in the daily discourse environment, but only a synonym for off-road vehicles. But the car that Zhao Yang is driving now is an authentic American product, and it is American military equipment captured on the battlefield. Feng Xiaochen pondered, if this car is sealed and put up for auction in 40 years, I believe that those equipment fans in the future will offer millions of prices.

"Fatty, where are you going?"

Seeing Ning Mo pulling Feng Xiaochen into the jeep, several other young people asked together.

Ning Mo smiled and said, "I took Brother Feng around, he said that he hadn't seen an open-pit mine, so I took him to open his eyes." ”

"Go, go, go. The crowd didn't take it seriously, waved them and let them go.

Ning Mo was not right, in fact, Feng Xiaochen was very familiar with open-pit mines. The cold-water iron mine they were about to go to had been visited by Feng Xiaochen in his previous life. However, when Feng Xiaochen came, the cold water iron ore mine was close to being mined, and the once prosperous city of Yichuan was also labeled as a "resource-exhausted city" and included in the list of cities in need of national support and transformation.

Feng Xiaochen asked Ning Mo to take him to see the stope, just to see if there was any difference between the cold water mines in this time and space and the cold water mines he knew. From the time traveled to the present, Feng Xiaochen found that the things in the two time and space were basically the same, and many experiences in the previous time and space could be used for reference.

The jeep drove for nearly an hour on the potholed road to the periphery of the stope, located deep in the mountains. From the car, you can see a large pit in front of you, and a road runs down the edge of the pit in a circle to the working face. There, an electric shovel is scooping up the blasted ore and loading it into a huge transport truck. The trucks then climbed up the road to transport the ore to a railway yard farther away.

On the north and south sides of the pit, there are two piles of waste rock as high as mountains. It was all the rock that had covered the veins, and it took countless efforts for the miners to peel them off and move them aside, revealing the treasure buried underneath. On the farther side of the pit from the city of Yichuan, new rock stripping is underway, signaling that the stope will be further expanded.

"Fatty, would you be happy if you were to work here?"

Feng Xiaochen asked Zhao Yang to park the car on the hillside, jumped out of the car, looked at the busy vehicles in the pit below, and asked Ning Mo. Along the way, the more they chatted, the more familiar they became, and the names became intimate. Feng Xiaochen called Ning Mo the fat man according to the names of the children in the mine, and Ning Mo called Feng Xiaochen "Old Feng". As for Zhao Yang, because of his handsome appearance, Ning Mo called him "Yangyang", but Zhao Yang was extremely annoyed by this rather feminine nickname.

"What are you talking about, come here to work, what kind of work?" Ning Mo didn't react to Feng Xiaochen's question at once, and asked subconsciously.

Feng Xiaochen shook his head and said, "I'm just making an analogy, I want to ask you if this place is too far away." ”

"What's this!" Ning Mo said disappreliantly, "Aren't all the workers in the mine working here? If you don't work here, where can you go? I don't have the ability to sit in the office like my father." ”

"Zhao Yang, what about you?" Feng Xiaochen asked Zhao Yang again.

Zhao Yang stretched his waist and said in a long voice: "As long as you give me a job, you can work anywhere." Now I eat white food at home all day long, and I am embarrassed to deal with it. When you are single, you just eat your father's mother, is it possible to have a wife and children, and let your father and mother raise them?"

"Yes, they're all big people, and it's really not good to have a job. Feng Xiaochen said with emotion.

Ning Mo looked at Feng Xiaochen and asked, "What, Old Feng, do you have a way to let us work in the mine?" Our mine recruits forty or fifty people a year, and my father can't let me in, what can you do?"

Feng Xiaochen smiled and said, "It's hard to say now, this matter also depends on your Mine Chief Pan's thoughts." If we can negotiate, let us think of a way for you people to solve the work problem, it is not impossible. If the talks are not appropriate, then in a few days we will have to go to Huxi Province and Luoshui Province. We don't care about what happens here in the cold water mine. ”

"What you said is true?" Ning Mo stared at Feng Xiaochen's eyes and asked with a serious expression that he had never had before.

Feng Xiaochen shrugged his shoulders and said, "We are buddies, you still can't believe what I say?"

"Yangyang, what do you think?" Ning Mo asked Zhao Yang.

Zhao Yang glared at Ning Mo and waved his fist at him to show his dissatisfaction, but considering Ning Mo's light tank-like size, Zhao Yang still gave up the idea of dueling with him. He looked at Feng Xiaochen and said, "It's really hard to say this, Lao Feng said that he came from the capital, maybe there is really some way." Fatty, you go and talk to your dad about this matter, and let him persuade Lao Pan. I also know about the dump truck, in fact, Lao Pan is afraid of trouble. Really get a dump truck, if it doesn't break down, it's a lot better than our current transport truck. ”

This is professional advice, Zhao Yang's father is an auto mechanic, and he is clear about this aspect of things.

"Lao Feng, you have to tell me if you have any way to solve the problem for us. Let the mine increase the recruitment index, but I'm afraid it won't work. Do you see, it's such a big pit, it's impossible to put more people, we can't open another mine to arrange for us, right?" Ning Mo said.

Feng Xiaochen said with a smile: "There are some things that can't be said now, and if you say it, it won't work." You can ask your buddies if they're willing to get a job. If you are willing, then let their parents and mine leaders mumble more, and you can use this as a quid pro quo. Anyway, if we can't make it then, Mine Manager Pan won't have much to lose, right?"

"That's just as well. Ning Mo nodded, then reacted, pointed at Feng Xiaochen's nose and asked, "Do you have any good ideas, I'm afraid that after Lao Pan finds out, he will leave you and do it alone, right?"

Feng Xiaochen said: "That's what it was, if it weren't for Lao Pan to cooperate with us, what would I do when I came to Yichuan?"

"You're too insidious, I still treat you as a buddy!" Ning Mo complained angrily.

Feng Xiaochen took out another box of unopened front door cigarettes in his pocket, stuffed them into Ning Mo's hand, and said with a smile: "I have always regarded you as a buddy, and this pack of cigarettes is a meeting gift." Let's put it this way, if the cooperation with Lao Pan is not successful, I can't help your more than 1,000 unemployed young people, I can take care of the two of you, and I can find you a formal job anyway. ”

"A word?" Ning Mo asked.

"It's a deal. Feng Xiaochen said calmly.

Ning Mo stomped his feet and said, "Okay, this matter is on me, let everyone put pressure on Lao Pan together, if he dares not to listen, we will let him know what is called unstable factors." ”

In the next few days, Chang Min still took Lu Zhidong to the stope, and Wang Weilong was still in the technical department to discuss problems with the technicians of the cold water mine. Feng Xiaochen, accompanied by Ning Mo, visited many places and learned a lot about the cold-water mine.

Pan Caishan's eyes have been staring at Chang Min and Wang Weilong, observing their actions, waiting for Chang Min to have a showdown with him. He considered himself an old fox and had enough patience to compete with Chang Min, a hunter. There is such a thing as bargaining, the party that bids first always suffers, so Pan Caishan will not be fooled by this.

As for what the two young cadres brought by Chang Min were doing, Pan Caishan didn't bother to care. He didn't even know that Feng Xiaochen was wandering around the family area every day, and some cadres saw it and didn't tell Pan Caishan about it, because after all, this was a thing that was too unworthy of mentioning.

No one noticed that a half-truth and half-truth slowly spread in the mining area, that is, the ability of the leaders from the capital to help Lengshui Mine solve the problem of unemployed youth, the key depends on whether the mine leaders are willing to cooperate with the leaders of the capital. After all, there are thousands of unemployed young people in the mine, and the mine leaders don't know how many ways to solve this matter, at least none of them have solved it.

However, when it comes to the future of children, parents cannot ignore it. For them, this kind of thing is better to believe in what it is than not to believe in it, and everyone has a thought in their hearts: What if it is true? )
