When he heard Wang Weidong say that he wanted to recruit people to farm in the big northern countries, Wang Haifu suddenly became interested.

"Do you plan to run the farm over there in one place or divide it among individuals?" Wang Haifu asked.

"Of course, it's separated, who is it to listen to in a unified operation? At that time, it will still be a big gang, and it will not be efficient at all. It is better to go over the whole family one by one, and each household is divided into hundreds of acres of land, and let them run it themselves. Wang Weidong replied.

"If so, what about those tractors? Those agricultural machinery are limited, and it is impossible for every household to have a tractor and a harvester, right? Wang Haifu asked.

"Of course not, these machines can only be used intensively." Wang Weidong said.

"How about Wei Dong let me go over and do this job?" Wang Haifu asked.

"How old are you, don't join in the fun." Wang Weidong replied.

"I'm not joining in the fun! At my age, I want to walk around and take a turn while I can still move. When I was young, I went to the Great Southwest, and I didn't see anything when I worked every day! Now while I'm still healthy, it's time to go abroad to see! When you reach my age, you'll know, it's really not interesting to stay by my wife's side every day! Thanks to you, now I am not short of money. But if I get a few old guys in the factory who used to work together to take care of the machinery, I can also make some money for them. You can't do anything with that little pension in the factory! Most of the people who went out to farm were about the same age as you, they were factory kids, and they could trust me. I don't want to make money myself, where can I find such people? Wang Haifu said.

"You've never repaired agricultural machinery before, can you?" Wang Weidong asked.

"Why not? It's all pretty much the same. As long as I have tools, I dare to repair! Find a few skilled old workers in this factory, and we people will not eat for nothing for decades! Wang Haifu said.

Wang Weidong came to Master Huang's house.

The last time I heard that Wang Weidong had opened a factory in the south, Master Huang brought his grandson to Wang Weidong's house and asked him to find a job for his grandson in the factory, with a salary of five or six hundred yuan a month.

Of course, Wang Weidong couldn't agree to this request, but he quietly asked Bao Qihang to send two thousand yuan to Master Huang's family.

This time he came back to visit again.

After seeing Master Huang, Wang Weidong immediately said with a smile on his face: "Master, I'm here to apologize to you!" ”

Seeing Wang Weidong's visit, Master Huang waved his hand and said: "Sit down, I don't blame you for what happened last time, I relied on the old and sold the old, I don't know what to do!" It's nothing to take care of a person in a state-owned enterprise, but you run the factory yourself, in other words, I just brought my grandson to you to raise it for me, which is really unreasonable. ”

"It's nothing to raise one person, I don't care about those two dollars. Just put an idler there, what do I do with the others? Wang Weidong said.

"But after your old man left that day, I felt very uncomfortable. I've been working in the canteen since I was fifteen or sixteen years old, and you've been so good to me, and I've never forgotten those things that have been in my heart all these years! Wang Weidong continued.

"But now my chance to repay your master, has finally come! This time, I want to invite a few experts and skilled workers from the big northern countries to the factory in the south, and I would like to ask you to go out to the south to cook for them. You bring your grandson with you, and pass on the craft to him by the way. I will give you two thousand a month for your salary, and I will give you five hundred a month for your grandson! What do you think? Wang Weidong asked.

In the early 50s, technical experts from several large northern countries came to Xiangyang Chemical Factory, and in order to make these experts eat well, the factory leaders specially transferred Master Huang, who was in his twenties, from Harbin City to the factory to cook for the experts from the northern countries.

Chef Huang was an apprentice in a Russian restaurant in Kazakhstan when he was a teenager, that is, the puppet Manchukuo, and by the time he was in his twenties, he had already learned a whole range of skills, from roasting big riba to mixing salad and beetroot soup.

After being transferred to the factory, the food he cooked was very much in line with the tastes of experts from the northern powers. This time, Wang Weidong wanted to ask Master Huang to go to Fushan to continue cooking for experts from the big northern countries.

Hearing Wang Weidong say this, Master Huang glared and said, "What are you thanking you for?" You kid is a ghost-headed toad-eyed, and now you need me, so you came to me! ”

"If you don't want to, then when I don't say anything, I will just hire a master in those Russian restaurants when I return to Kazakhstan." Wang Weidong said.

Hearing Wang Weidong say this, Huang Shi said: "Since this is the case, then I will take a trip." This time I took my grandson with me, just to pass on the craft to him. ”

In the early 90s, 2,000 yuan a month was indeed a high salary, but for the chef in the restaurant at that time, it was actually nothing.

"Master, two thousand yuan is just the basic salary, if the factory is profitable, I will also give you a bonus!" Wang Weidong assured.

It's almost August now, and there is no need to recruit hundreds of people to go to the big northern countries to farm immediately. Wang Weidong wanted to recruit a dozen people to repair a few tractors first, and then turn over the cultivated land overgrown with wild grass, so that it would be easier to prepare the land and replant the land in the spring next year.

Wang Haifu's action was fast, and it took him only one day to find five or six retired old workers who were willing to work in the big northern country.

It's just that after coming back, Wang Haifu's mood was very low. He smoked silently, and after smoking a cigarette, he said to Wang Weidong: "After retirement, I only have a pension of more than 100 yuan a month, what is this money enough for?" I am reluctant to eat, I am reluctant to wear, and when I see them like this, my heart is not good, and the poor are about to urinate blood! ”

What Wang Haifu didn't say was that in the past few years, he, Li Yufeng and Lao Chen Touer and his wife were brought to Harbin City by Wang Weidong, and their lives were quite good.

They can barely remember that their pension is only about 100 dollars a month.

This time, Wang Haifu returned to the Xiangyang Chemical Factory and saw the old workers who had worked with him before, Wang Haifu felt that if there was no Wang Weidong's son, his current life would be the same as these old men, and he would even feel distressed for a long time to buy a pack of cheapest cigarettes in the store.

"If that's the case, I'll take you old men over first, and you can repair two tractors first. Then I drove a tractor to turn over the more than 10,000 acres of land, and then I could come back and wait for the spring of next year. I'll pay for them. Wang Weidong said.
