Entering the loneliness on Yang Weiping's face, Qiu Fang was secretly ruthless, turned her eyes to him, and pretended not to see it.

"Wei Ping, what are you going to do with the factory guards you just mentioned?" Qiu Fang consciously changed the topic, and said with obvious lack of confidence: "I've never done this before, but don't miss your big event when the time comes." ”

"Start by picking new workers. Yang Weiping said confidently: "When picking people, I will personally strictly check them." The selected candidates are young people between the ages of 20 and 24, who are in good health and have no hidden diseases. It can be a Hong Kong native or an outsider. Those who have been recommended by Hong Kong locals will be given priority for admission.

Sister Fang, I mean, first set up a security section in the factory, you will be the section chief, Ah Rong and Ah Yang will be your deputies, let's put up the shelves first. I'm not going to get the factory up and running anytime soon, but when you've trained your people, you'll pick an auspicious day, and I'm sure you'll be amazed. ”

"Let me be the section chief?!No, no, no, the section chief, how can I do this from a woman like me......" Qiu Fang shook her head again and again, and even looked a little nervous and flustered.

"Sister Fang, this section chief is different from our domestic one, it does not belong to the administrative establishment, and it is an 'official' given to you by me, a big capitalist boss, except for our own people, no one will take this 'official' seriously. Yang Weiping couldn't help but be happy when he saw Qiu Fang's nervous appearance, and explained with a smile.

"Then you didn't make it clear just now, which made people startled. Qiu Fang couldn't help but glance at Yang Weiping.

Seeing Qiu Fang's coquettish demeanor, Yang Weiping's heart suddenly fluttered, and the whole person was stunned.

Seeing Yang Weiping like this, Qiu Fang's heart jumped for no reason. Don't look at the place here is big enough, but no matter how you say it, it can be regarded as a lonely man and widow in the same room, so quickly turn your face away.

"Sister Fang......" Yang Weiping subconsciously took a step closer to her.

Like a frightened rabbit, Qiu Fang took several steps back in succession, widening the distance between the two.

Yang Weiping slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, turned around and walked towards the warehouse gate, "Let's go, Sister Fang, I'll take you elsewhere." ”

Qiu Fang said "um" softly, lowered her head silently, and was about three meters behind Yang Weiping, slowly following.

Locking the warehouse door again, Yang Weiping put aside the distracting thoughts in his heart, and said to Qiu Fang while walking: "Here, in the future, it will be the machining center of the whole factory, and the blast furnace over there will be transformed by engineers from France, and the core part of the transformation is to replace the original four venturi-type concentrate nozzles with a central diffusion concentrate nozzle, and the loss-in-weight metering feeding system to replace the buried scraper feeding and impact metering system, and at the same time increase or improve the cooling water system of the flash furnace body.

The two buildings will be the research and laboratory buildings of the factory, with gardens and turf in the middle of the buildings, and green belts on both sides of all the roads. These are all projects that need to be completed in the first phase of the project. In the next phase of the project, two Outokumpu rotary anode furnaces with a capacity of 350 tons/furnace and a double-pack disc casting system with a casting capacity of 85 tons/hour will be added......"

Listening to Yang Weiping's description, Qiu Fang didn't understand some of the technical things he said to him, but the prototype of a garden-like factory gradually appeared in her mind:

The site around the workshop office was greened and beautified, the lawn was paved, and the flowers and hedges were dotted during the period, and the rockery curved pond was created, and ornamental trees were planted in the more concentrated places of sight, such as cedar and spruce, so as to improve the greening of street trees on both sides of the road, so that the factory formed a three-dimensional green pattern combining points, lines and surfaces. …,

……

No matter what era it is, as long as there is money, there are people!

For two consecutive weeks, Tiangong Smelter published job recruitment information in major newspapers such as Ming Pao, Apple Daily, Oriental Daily, and The Sun, attracting countless Hong Kong people to apply.

Because of the high salary and high benefits provided by Tiangong Smelter, it is more than twice the salary standard of the same industry!

Although the current Tiangong smelter looks dilapidated, the men, women and children who came to apply for the job saw that the new owner of the factory had invested heavily in renovating the factory in all aspects.

It is not only the renovation of machinery and equipment, the introduction of new equipment imported from Europe, but also the maintenance and expansion of the living area of employees.

People with a little vision and insight know that if you don't hurry up and take advantage of the fact that the Tiangong smelter has not yet started, and wait for the factory to be completely rebuilt and renovated, the threshold for recruiting workers will definitely be greatly increased at that time.

As a result, at least two to three hundred people come to register every day.

Although the recruitment standards formulated by Yang Weiping himself have almost strict requirements for the age and physical fitness of employees, within two weeks, the scheduled recruitment of 300 young and strong employees in the early stage was successfully completed.

During this period, under the guidance of Yang Weiping, Xiang Yang went back to the mainland alone through official channels in the name of Hong Kong businessmen returning to their hometowns to visit relatives and inspect investment.

On the night of the end of the first phase of the factory's recruitment, Xiang Yang returned to the staff dormitory building of the Tiangong Smelter, which had only been completed for two days, with 12 capable men with an average age of more than 40 years old.

……

Far north, in the northwest of the Chinese mainland, Shangling Village, Hongqi Commune, Jinnan County.

On the small square of the village primary school, Su Hongmei led a group of primary school students with red scarves around their necks, standing in front of the flagpole made of wood, looking up at the five-star red flag fluttering in the wind at the top of the flagpole with a solemn and solemn expression, and raised her right elbow high above her head, performing the Young Pioneers salute.

She was singing the Chinese national anthem in her mouth, and the classmates behind her also sang loudly and neatly with her.

“…… Braving enemy fire, forward, forward, forward!"

"Finish the ceremony!" Su Hongmei turned around, put her hand down, and shouted loudly: "Students, the flag-raising ceremony is over, please go back to class and prepare for class." Disbanded now!"

More than 30 boys and girls suddenly seemed to be herding sheep, laughing and running for me.

When Su Hongmei walked to the school office, she suddenly saw the postman Lao Li riding a bicycle past the school gate, and immediately ran over with a loud greeting, "Master Li, do you have my letter?"

Lao Li, the postman who had already driven past the school gate, turned his head and replied loudly: "No, Teacher Su, but there is a letter from Zhou Yuanchao." ”

"Did Zhou Yuanchao's letter come from Luohe? Master Li. Su Hongmei couldn't help but ask again.

"No, it was sent from the capital. Lao Li replied as he rode away.

After school at noon, Su Hongmei didn't even return home, and went directly to the Zhiqing Point.

However, she didn't get the news she wanted, Zhou Yuanchao's letter was not written by Yang Weiping, but a letter sent by Zhou Yuanchao's family.

Running to the educated youth point every day to inquire about the news has become Su Hongmei's routine during this time.

The educated youths of the educated youth point have long called Su Hongmei "Weiping's daughter-in-law", in this regard, Su Hongmei seems very generous, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about, anyway, they have already decided to marry him, and sooner or later they will be his people.

After returning from the educated youth point again, Su Hongmei looked a little listless, with obvious disappointment and loneliness in her big eyes.

It's been so many days, and there is still no news of Yang Weiping. Although she had heard Zhou Yuanchao say that Yang Weiping was still in Luohe Tractor Factory, she always felt that Zhou Yuanchao was not telling the truth. …,

Since her father, Su Changgui, under Yang Weiping's careful arrangement, skillfully avoided a catastrophe that was close to life, and their family didn't even have time to invite Yang Weiping to have a good meal to thank him for his great kindness, Yang Weiping was named by Director Wei of the County Revolutionary Committee and asked him to go out of his mission and go to Luohe City, Central Plains Province.

During this time, Su Changgui talked about Yang Weiping's good at home, saying that if he didn't help, his old life would be explained. Their family owes a lot of kindness to Xiao Yang Zhiqing, and they can't pay it back!

Su Changgui and Tian Cuifen and their husbands, thinking about it, felt that the best way was to let their daughter marry Yang Weiping, anyway, Yang Weiping was also a lonely family without relatives and relatives, if they became a family, there would be no need to talk about the two families.

Of course, Su Hongmei knows these thoughts of her father and mother, and she knows it very well. Thinking about it carefully, this wishful thinking of her father and mother is not unreasonable, with her family's current conditions, except for letting her make a personal promise, there is really no other way to repay the kindness owed to Yang Weiping.

Although Su Hongmei has been in close contact with Yang Weiping these days, her good impression of him is also increasing day by day. But when it comes to talking about marriage, she always feels that there seems to be something missing between her and him, and she can't say what it is.

Yang Weiping's excellence, Su Hongmei of course sees it in her eyes and remembers it in her heart. Although he seemed to be a little intimate with her at times, she never found out in his eyes that he had a special affection for her, and he seemed to treat her as an ignorant little girl, or even a junior.

Whenever she thought of this, Su Hongmei couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Obviously, she is almost three years older than him, but this guy looks more mature and stable than her in every aspect. It is not appropriate to say that he is young and old, it is simply a bit old-fashioned.

Since it was her father and mother who asked her to marry him, Su Hongmei couldn't object, and she should repay her kindness. Besides, she didn't dislike him at all, let alone resist, and even had a hint of joy in her heart.

It is said that men should get married, women should get married, and she is not young now, and it is time to find a man to get married, start a family, and have children.

When she was with Yang Weiping before, Su Hongmei didn't feel anything. But she couldn't see him for a while, and she always felt empty in her heart.

Watching Zhou Yuanchao drive a jeep back to the village that day, Su Hongmei was very happy, but she didn't see Yang Weiping in the car, so she was anxious.

Zhou Yuanchao said that Yang Weiping stayed in the Luohe factory to tackle key technical problems, and Su Hongmei could only choose to believe it.

However, Luojiayu suddenly had a group fight between educated youths and villagers, nine of them died, and more than 100 people were injured.

She was afraid that this matter had something to do with Yang Weiping, so she specially asked her father to accompany her to Luojiayu to make sure that there was no Yang Weiping among the dead and injured, so her heart could be put down.

Later, I didn't see how much attention the county leaders attached to this matter, and Tai Zu died, as if the entire Jinnan County was in chaos, and no one cared about such a big thing.

Now that the Four People's Gang has been defeated, no one cares about the death and injury of Luo Jiayu's weapon fight.

But I don't know what's going on with Lu Dao, Su Hongmei feels that as long as she can't see Yang Weiping for a day, her heart will always be unsteady. Out of a woman's intuition, she felt that the time of Yang Weiping's "disappearance" was a bit too coincidental.

I wish you all the best in the Year of the Snake, all your wishes, and abundant wealth!
