At 6 o'clock in the morning on February 25, 1969, after everyone got up, washed up and had breakfast, we had a meeting in the Lan family compound.

Teacher Cen said, "Everyone! Next, we are going to start Zhang Luo's business in Daling Town! The site of the maintenance plant was chosen on the vacant land in the backyard of the Qin family! This vacant land is the Qin family's own land, and it has been abandoned for more than ten years! This land is enough for us to build factories, parking lots, etc. It is also very close to the entrance of the national highway trunk line in Nantou, so it is convenient for everyone to repair the car! ”

Uncle Lan said, "Teacher Cen! Should we discuss this matter with Sister-in-law Bai? ”

Teacher Cen said, "We have already discussed this matter! Ah Cai's mother has no opinion! In the future, we just divide the shares! Today, we're going to start moving the equipment! Uncle Lan! You're in charge of moving equipment and supplies from the machine shop! You ask the big tigers to come and help! Tonight, you're moving! You and Zu Xing drive a truck, and Jingtian and Wenchang drive a truck! We will try to move all this equipment and supplies by the evening of February 28th! ”

Uncle Lan said: "There is no problem with this! Jingtian and Wenchang are already very familiar with the driving of trucks! We don't have a problem with hoisting either! ”

Teacher Cen said: "This morning, I, Ah Cai, Xiao Da, Jing Di, Lian, Li Fen and Sister Wen Juan returned to Daling Town in three carriages! We took away the school's original equipment and supplies, etc., which were stored in the cave warehouse in Nali Village! After returning to Daling Town, we began to level the land so that there was room for vehicles and supplies! And looking for a place to do our temporary oil depot! ”

After the meeting, we began to install three large carriages and carry the original equipment and supplies of the school, as well as daily necessities such as luggage, food and water for the seven of us.

After everything was ready, Mr. Cen, me and Xiaoda each got a carriage, we said goodbye to everyone, and returned along the mountain road to Daling Town!

Sister Li'an walked in the front in Teacher Cen's carriage, Jingdi walked in the middle in Xiaoda's carriage, Sister Lifen and Sister Wenjuan took my carriage, and we walked in the back.

Along the way, my sisters and I walked and talked.

Sister Lifen smiled and said, "Ah Cai! Our family is rich now! We earned more than 7,300 yuan before the Spring Festival, and now we earn another 13,800 yuan! Our family earned 21,100 yuan this month! ”

Sister Wen Juan smiled and said, "Yes! I heard Wei's mother say that we still had more than 1,000 yuan left over last year! Now our family's annual expenses are five or six hundred yuan! That's enough money for us to spend more than ten years! ”

Sister Lifen smiled and said, "Wen Juan! When our machine repair factory is set up, our family will definitely be able to make more money! We also want to set up our rice noodle shop as soon as possible! In this way, our family will not run out of money! ”

Everyone laughed!

At noon, our group and three carriages arrived at Jia Xianyong's grandfather's house, and Jia Xianwen, Jia's eldest son, received us.

Mr. Cen told Jia Ye and Uncle Jia that we were going to open a machine repair factory.

Jia Ye smiled and said, "Teacher Cen! It's time for you to get out of the mountains and lead everyone to do something! Now, the kids are all idle at home! In the future, our children of the Jia family will help you work in the factory, and you can just give them a bite to eat! ”

Uncle Jia said, "Yes! Now, there are five or six adult boys in our Jia family, and they don't study anymore! What skills are not! A few acres of land at home don't need so many people to cultivate! They are literate and can work in your factory and learn their skills! ”

Teacher Cen smiled and said, "Okay! We took them all! No problem with food and accommodation! In the future, when the factory makes money, we will pay them wages and benefits! Today, they can come with us, we are going to factory soon! ”

Jia Ye smiled and said, "Okay! We have a lot of timber here to build a house! Teacher Cen, you go and see what you can use, you take them all! We also have a couple of wagons, so I'll send them to you by the way! ”

Teacher Cen smiled and said, "Uncle Jia! We can't ask for nothing! Be sure to count the money for you! ”

Jia Ye said: "Teacher Cen! It's not for nothing! It's everyone helping each other! You work for our children and teach them how to do it! It's also the right thing for us to send you wood! ”

Everyone laughed!

So, Uncle Jia Xianwen called the children of the Jia family, they are Jia Daren, Jia Erren, Jia Sanren, Jia Siren, Jia Wuren, the oldest is eighteen years old, the youngest is thirteen years old, all of them are strong and energetic young men!

The Jia brothers helped us move the equipment and supplies we brought from the Lan family in the carriage into the hole in their backyard.

After that, under the guidance of Teacher Cen and Jia Ye, they brought two other big carriages and loaded them with long cedar logs for beams and columns!

After everyone started to install dozens of long logs together, we said goodbye to Jia Ye and Uncle Jia, and drove five carriages with the five Jia brothers, and just like that, we returned to Daling Town in a mighty way!

I feel that everyone likes to do things with Mr. Cen, and I am sure that everyone has a lot of trust and respect in their hearts!

Of course, we are the apprentices of Mr. Cen, therefore, they also trust and respect us, but, I think, we must not live up to the trust and expectations of these fellow villagers, we must study and do things hard!

......

At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived at Qin's house in Daling Town.

Mother, Wei Ma and Lilan greeted us outside the courtyard gate!

After Mr. Cen told my mother to level the land and place equipment and supplies immediately, my mother and Mr. Cen took the brothers of the Jia family to the backyard of the house in a carriage loaded with wood.

In a corner of the open space in the backyard, my mother and Teacher Cen immediately instructed the Jia brothers to unload all the logs and pile them up.

After the Jia brothers finished their work, I, Jing Di, Sister Lifen and Sister Wen Juan were at home, dropping off our luggage and belongings from the carriage we were riding.

After that, Xiaoda and Sister Li'an took the brothers of the Jia family and set up a few carriages to go to Cen's house to eat and rest first.

Teacher Cen, his mother, Mama Wei, me, Jing Di, Sister Lifen, Sister Wenjuan and Lilan were in the living room at home, and everyone drank tea to discuss the construction of the factory.

Teacher Cen said, "Magnolia! For the employment of children! Tomorrow, we're going to start building a mechanic shop on the vacant lot! Tonight, Uncle Lan and Jingtian immediately brought back the equipment and materials for building the factory and put them on the open space! ”

The mother said, "Teacher Cen! No problem with this! When the time comes, I'll let Ah Cai and them take care of these things! It must cost a lot of money to build a factory! How much capital do you think our Qin family has to pay? ”

Teacher Cen said, "Yes! Now, the cost of building the factory will be paid by me alone! I'll let Ah Cai and Xiaoda take care of the bookkeeping! After Uncle Lan came back, everyone agreed together that the Cen family, the Qin family and the Lan family would be allocated to the machine repair factory, and when the time came, we would amortize the relevant expenses! ”

The mother said, "Yes! Mr. Cen When will they deliver the goods here? ”

Teacher Cen said: "Now, our vehicle does not have a license plate yet!" Therefore, they can only pull goods at night! At six o'clock in the afternoon, after dark, they took the road from Guigu Gorge and began to pull goods! At nine o'clock tonight, the first shipment should have arrived! Wait a minute, I asked Xiaoda to come over and cooperate with Ah Cai to do the goods reception! The two of them are responsible for the inventory, registration, transportation and arrival of equipment and supplies! ”

The mother said, "Yes! We get it! We are here to prepare for the delivery immediately! Mr. Cen You've been busy for a few days! You go home and rest first! Tomorrow, we're talking about something else! ”

As we were talking, Xiao Da came back with a carriage to pick up Teacher Cen and go back to Cen to have dinner and rest.

After we took a shower and changed clothes, we had dinner together as a family.

After dinner, our family had a meeting in the living room of our home.

The mother said, "Everyone! Starting at 9 o'clock this evening, the equipment and materials of the machine shop have arrived! Wei Ma, Li Fen and Wen Juan are going to start arranging supper and resting places for Uncle Lan, Jingtian, Wen Chang and Zu Xing! Ah Cai and Jing Di are responsible for the warehousing registration and care of the goods in the freight yard! Building a factory is the biggest thing for our family this year! Everyone must work together to do a good job! Do you understand! ”

Sister Lifen said, "Mom! Jingtiange, Wenchang, Ah Cai and Jingdi earned 13,800 yuan by hunting in the mountains this time! Now, I'll leave it to you! ”

Sister Lifen handed over a large stack of banknotes to her mother, and after her mother took it, she counted the money with Wei's mother.

After counting the money, her mother asked Wei's mother to hide the money.

The mother smiled and said, "The family is waiting for the money, and you will earn the money and come back!" God helps! Hurry up and get some rest! At 8 o'clock in the evening, I will wake you up and prepare to receive the goods! ”

Lilan said, "Mom! Everyone has something to do, and you haven't assigned me a job yet? What am I going to do? ”

The mother smiled and said, "Lilan! Your task is to sleep and not disturb your siblings' work! ”

Everyone laughed!

......

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Teacher Cen and Xiaoda came to our house with the five brothers of the Jia family in a carriage.

Teacher Cen took everyone to the open space in the backyard of the house.

Here, Mr. Cen used a flashlight to plan the vacant land to build a factory, a parking lot, and a place to temporarily stack goods.

According to Mr. Cen's instructions, Xiaoda and the Jia brothers drew lines with lime powder for these divided areas and marked them for use.

Then, when we returned home, Mr. Cen divided the labor among the people in charge of the yard management.

Teacher Cen said: "It may take three nights to receive the goods!" We're going to pick up these goods in two shifts! Ah Cai and Jing Di took the two brothers of the Jia family to take charge of the class from 9 to 11 o'clock in the evening! Xiaoda took the three brothers of the Jia family to be responsible for the shift from 4 to 6 o'clock in the morning! Lifen and Wenjuan are responsible for the food and rest arrangements of all the staff in these two classes! ”

After the division of labor, everyone began to prepare for receiving the goods separately, or rested!

At 9 o'clock in the evening, Mr. Cen, me, Jing Di, Fourth Brother Jia and Fifth Brother Jia received the first batch of goods in the freight yard!

Brother Jingtian and Brother Wenchang drove a big truck, and Uncle Lan, Brother Zu Xing and Brother Lan Feng drove a big truck to the freight yard.

Oh my God, their trucks are full of equipment, supplies, and lifting equipment and tools.

After Mr. Cen instructed them to park, Uncle Lan and his brothers got out of the car, carried the lifting equipment and tools from the car, and began to install the lifting equipment and brackets.

They then unloaded the truck's cargo onto the ground, stacked and covered with tarpaulins.

Fourth Brother Jia and Fifth Brother Jia cooperated with Uncle Lan and his brothers to do this work.

Jing Di and I are responsible for the inventory registration and warehousing management.

At more than 10 o'clock in the evening, a batch of goods was unloaded to the designated position, stacked and covered with tarpaulins in accordance with the regulations.

Fourth Brother Jia and Fifth Brother Jia stayed on duty in the freight yard.

The rest of us returned to the house, and Mother, Wei's mother, Sister Lifen, and Sister Wenjuan had already prepared supper for everyone, and everyone was eating and chatting in the living room.

Uncle Lan smiled and said, "Teacher Cen! Sister-in-law! You can rest assured! Now Jingtian, Wenchang, Lanfeng and Zuxing are all familiar with vehicles and roads! They can walk here by road from Guigu Gorge in two hours each way! It's the same when you go back! There are no checkpoints or inspectors on the road! On the Guigu Gorge side, the big tiger, the iron egg and the stone are responsible for loading and hoisting the goods, and there is a set of hoisting equipment and tools left there! Lotus, Caixia and Caiyan are responsible for everyone's food and rest there! They rest during the day and work at night, so they won't feel tired! In the future, I will stay here to guide the installation and assist Mr. Cen to build the factory! ”

The mother smiled and said, "Yes! Uncle Lan and Mr. Cen are both masters of enterprise management! In the future, this factory will depend on you! The children! In the future, you have to learn more from Teacher Cen and Uncle Lan! Running a business is a complex system project! There's so much to learn! ”

Indeed, if it weren't for Teacher Cen and Uncle Lan, we really don't know how to deal with these things!

I feel like I have too little knowledge! There are a lot of things I don't know how to think about. What should I do?

However, with the education and guidance of Mr. Cen, Uncle Lan and my mother, my heart is much more steady!

I am determined to study hard and master this knowledge and the ability to do things as soon as possible!

In this way, we started the construction of the machine shop step by step!
