The unexpected appearance of Hou Dalin made the Ran family very happy. After such a long time, I finally saw an acquaintance from the capital again.

With Hou Dalin's help last time, the Ran family's life here has been improved to a certain extent. In particular, Xiaopang and others helped build a few houses for them, and the housing conditions have been greatly improved.

There are coal mines everywhere here, and although the coal on the mine cannot be pulled casually, the coal in the gangue pile can be picked up casually.

As long as you are diligent enough, there will be no shortage of coal at home, which also makes the Ran family not suffer from freezing in such a place.

Hunger is avoided, and in these years, only a minority are those who do not starve.

"Uncle Ran, how are you doing? Do you have any difficulties in work and life? ”

"It's all good, it's all good." Father Ran was very pleased, he was indeed a little confused about this Hou Dalin. To say that there is love for no reason in this world, he does not believe it.

But Hou Dalin's enthusiasm made him really unforgiving. used to be understood as him "coveting" his little daughter, but later he knew that this Hou Dalin was already married, and he became confused again.

Hou Dalin could also feel Ran's father's discomfort, and he may have cared too much, so that Ran's father was a little suspicious of his purpose.

Hou Dalin didn't have a rut, which he really couldn't explain.

After a few brief words with Ran's father, Hou Dalin proposed that he wanted to talk to Ran Qiuye alone, there was something in the capital, and he needed to communicate with Ran Qiuye.

The two walked out of the house and stood in the courtyard and talked.

Hou Dalin had just said a few inconsequential greetings, and Ran Qiuye suddenly mentioned the stupid pillar to him.

"Da Lin, has He Yuzhu looked for you?"

Such a sudden question made Hou Dalin not react for a while. But then he thought again, if Silly Zhu had found Ran Qiuye's contact information and wrote her a letter or something.

"Why did you suddenly ask about him? Did he contact you? Hou Dalin asked tentatively.

"No, but it's been so long, I think there should be a break between me and him." When Ran Qiuye said this, her tone was very calm, which made Hou Dalin not know if she was really calm or deliberately pretending.

"So what do you want to do? Divorce him? ”

"Well, it's no different from getting divorced. You do me a favor, I wrote a divorce application, you help me bring it back, give it to He Yuzhu, and let him go through the formalities. ”

Hou Dalin was even more suspicious that the stupid pillar had really written to her. If this is really the case, Hou Dalin is somewhat reluctant to help with this.

"Sister Akiba, tell me honestly, did the stupid pillar write to you? Did he mention this to you? Hou Dalin decided to ask for clarification, although he also felt that their divorce was inevitable, but he really didn't want this to happen to him.

"Nope. He didn't have my contact information. ”

Hou Dalin thought about it for a while, and finally decided to help. Let Ran Qiuye go back to do it herself or write a letter to Silly Zhu, Hou Dalin feels that it is a second injury to her, since divorce is the best choice, it is better to let yourself help her with this.

Hou Dalin took the materials written by Ran Qiuye and put them in his pocket. Only then did he say: "Sister Akiba, you should also relax, you will definitely meet the right person in the future." Therefore, if you have hope, you will be happy. ”

"yes, I understand."

When Hou Dalin came back from Ran's house, his mood was inexplicably much better.

The next morning, he was once again in good spirits. Hou Dalin lived in the dormitory of the second station, and when he came together, his apprentice Xiaopang was already waiting at the door.

Hearing the movement of Hou Dalin getting up, this kid began to take a thermos bottle to make Hou Dalin's face water, and the tooth jar was also ready, and the toothpaste was squeezed onto the toothbrush.

"Chubby, who gave you all this?" Hou Dalin saw that this little fat man was so attentive, he was a little embarrassed.

"My daddy! My father said that if you don't serve the master well, don't think about learning real skills! If you can't learn real technology, you can't do great work! Master, just take me! The little fat man once again exerted the strength of the dogskin plaster.

Not to mention, this trick is really good! Hou Dalin was embarrassed not to accept others.

After washing up and having breakfast, Hou Dalin agreed to Xiaopang's request and made him his real apprentice.

The master-apprentice relationship in these years is not comparable to later generations. It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that one is prosperous and one is lost, but the apprentice has a good master in the factory, and he will find a backer in the future.

Especially in the special unit of the second substation, although the specific affairs are managed by Director Yang and others, how can it be said that Hou Dalin is also the leader of the main station of the waste recycling and maintenance station, and is nominally the top leader here.

Xiaopang became Hou Dalin's official apprentice, and his first benefit was that he could follow him to the conference.

Although he doesn't have a seat here, being able to stand in this venue greatly enhances his status.

There were two main topics on the agenda of the meeting: First, according to the spirit of the instructions of the superiors, the second sub-station should study and produce the single-cylinder diesel engine proposed by Hou Dalin and them. The second is to discuss the issue of farm construction.

As for the first question, although the second substation is only a maintenance station, the production functions of the industrial units in these years have not been so detailed. As the second sub-station with the strongest technical and equipment strength in the region, the production of diesel engines is also compounded by the current requirements.

The industry of later generations was large and concentrated, but this era is small, many, and scattered. Therefore, almost every county and city strives to develop as much industrial manufacturing capacity as possible.

It doesn't matter if the ability is strong or not, the important thing is that there is.

Therefore, as soon as the application for the second sub-station to produce and manufacture diesel engines and tractors was submitted, the local government immediately approved it.

Not only is it approved and allowed in policy, but it is also fully supported in practical action.

For example, coordinating production equipment, producing raw materials, production workers, and so on.

Even if the local county government can not give much help, but to have such an attitude is also a great encouragement to Director Yang and others of the second sub-station.

When it comes to farm construction, it is much simpler, and its main function is to provide sufficient food security for the second substation to be expanded in the future. As for the "labor reform" farm in the mountains, the second substation was just stopping by to help. At least on the bright side.

Hou Dalin was only present at the meeting, and he had few opinions here. And everyone here knows the details of Hou Dalin, although this second sub-station is borrowed from the name of the Beijing maintenance station, but what is the specific situation, the local cadres are not clear, can the cadres who came from the rolling mill still be unclear?

Therefore, in the second station, Hou Dalin's status is basically a mascot. belongs to the "leader" of the main station who was offered, and if you really want to say that you have any decision-making power, that's just a joke.
