It was already more than 8 o'clock when the stupid pillar arrived at the factory, but he didn't expect to be late on the first day of his promotion, and Uncle Wang at the door laughed and said that he was still a virtue with before, and he was still late when he became a leader

Silly Zhu's current office has not changed, and it is still the director's office of the previous three canteens and the office of the farm

As before, I went to the cafeteria once a day as usual. Master Yang Liu Lan and others are already working, and Master Cai is now retired, and he will be succeeded by his youngest son, who worships Master Yang as his teacher

"Section Chief He is early" "Director, you are here"...

"Good morning everyone, let's stop what we're doing and let's have a small meeting"

When everyone heard this, they put down their work and came to the middle, and when they saw that everyone was stupid, they stopped talking nonsense

"I used to be busy with the farm, so I couldn't take care of it here, thanks to everyone's cooperation and the help of several masters, I am stupid here to thank you."

"The section chief is polite, what should be done"

"It's time for the factory skills assessment soon, if you want to sign up for the assessment upgrade, you can sign up with me, if you feel that your technology is not good, wait first, and then take the test next year, of course, you think you can also report, after all, this is a chance a year, wake up and don't talk nonsense, everyone work" (the previously mentioned assessment is a re-assessment opportunity in 54 years of administrative reform, this is true, but in 55 years)

After saying goodbye to Master Yang and the others, Silly Zhu walked towards the farm

There are a lot of people on the farm, and there will be no meetings, so the stupid pillar came to the farm canteen first, and the people here are the same as the three canteens, and the cooking chefs in the farm canteen are not very good, and the highest is a tenth level

Silly Zhu is still hesitating to transfer one from the three canteens, after all, I have heard people on the farm complain that the food is not delicious, but one of the good things about the farm canteen is that there are few people to eat, the work is easy, and the people who clean up the farm are in their early 200s, and the two canteens under their hands have more than 20 people and less than 30 and 11 people

"Director Ma, come out and talk to you about something"

Ma Feiyan's work has not changed from before, and she still needs to go to the warehouse every day to check

"Section chief, what's wrong?"

"In the second half of the year, the farm will be expanded, our farm upgrade is because of the expansion of the enrollment, you ask the big guy in the canteen who needs to work at home or reach working age can sign up with you first, including the canteen, you see the hill over there, and then in a month or two you will go up to plant trees, not to add 100 people are estimated to be able not to take care of it, the same way, the canteen needs to increase the minimum 5 places, I remember if your brother is also of working age, Give you a place to work, and you can consider whether to let him go to the farm or the canteen."

Ma Feiyan kept saying thank you after listening to it, and Silly Zhu could also feel her gratitude

"Needless to say, you prepare early, remember to talk to everyone in the cafeteria and let them prepare in advance"

After Silly Zhu finished speaking, he turned around and walked directly to the greenhouse base, and he also had to ask Professor Qian what facilities needed to be added to the fruit tree

"Good morning, Professor Chin"

"The pillar is here, your kid has been promoted again, this is not allowed to invite us to drink"

"What's the matter, tonight, you can adjust the place as you like" Silly Zhu looked at Professor Qian with a smile

"Virtue, I really want you to please, there is something to do tonight, there will be a chance in the future, tell me what is your kid looking for me", Professor Qian rolled his eyes

"Isn't this the expansion that I said two days ago, this expansion is going to go up the mountain to plant fruit trees, I don't think it's so simple, I think the factory may have to increase other businesses on the farm, such as breeding, what are you talking about, let's talk about fruit trees first, I don't understand these so I came to ask you what equipment you need for this kind of tree, I want to make a report in advance to let the factory buy"

Professor Qian pondered for a moment, "I don't know much about fruit trees, you go to our school to find Professor Zhou, who is majoring in forestry, he is my old friend, he is an expert in this area, my research direction is vegetables, rice and wheat, I don't know much about fruit trees, by the way, I will remind you first, since you plan to reclaim the mountains, tractors are indispensable, this thing is rare, you had better communicate with your leaders first"

Taking the address given by Professor Qian and rushing towards the address, the process was very smooth, Professor Zhou and Professor Qian were almost the same people, and after hearing the request of Silly Zhu, they also readily agreed, after all, their schools are cooperating with others, and they can also bring their own students in the past

After receiving the reply, Silly Zhu immediately came to Secretary Liang's office non-stop

"Secretary, about planting fruit trees in the second half of the year, I got the news that we need tractors to reclaim the mountains, you see how to solve it in the factory"

"Tractor, you let me think about it", Secretary Liang took a sip of water from the water cup in his hand after listening to the stupid pillar's words, and then said slowly:

"I remember that there was one in the warehouse, which was given by a Soviet partner when I first came two years ago, but it was not a hand-held one, and I will ask someone to take you to the warehouse to see if it can be used."

Silly Zhu followed people to the warehouse and saw this big guy, a bit similar to the first Dongfanghong produced in China in 58, but it was more cumbersome. Someone from the Transport Section was then called in to ask them to cooperate with the maintenance

"This thing is much more difficult to drive than a truck, Chief He, what do you want this thing for?"

"Isn't this the need for a farm to reclaim land, and the manpower is not enough, and I just heard that there is this thing in the factory warehouse and no one uses it, so I applied with the secretary to get our farm to reduce everyone's labor."

"Does anyone know how to drive this thing, the car is fine, change the oil and gasoline and some other things and drive away"

After a morning of pondering, he finally drove this big guy to the farm, and Professor Qian didn't expect Silly Zhu to drive a tractor so efficiently, but this guy is too big to be suitable for greenhouse farming

Silly Zhu specially called the squad leader of each greenhouse and asked them to ask who would drive, and the final result was that none of them would be able to, and Silly Zhu could only wait for the expansion of recruitment to let the factory transfer a person over

Silly Zhu took advantage of the afternoon to hang out at the foot of the mountain with Professor Qian, and asked Professor Qian what was the most suitable place to plant in this vacant land

"Pillar, we must be the most suitable to plant sweet potatoes in the north, you look at the distance between the mountain and the nearest greenhouse of the farm, this land has more than 300 acres, if you plant sweet potatoes once a year, take care of an acre and how not to harvest thousands of catties. I don't know how many lives can be saved by putting so much food in a disaster year."

Silly Zhu also fell into contemplation when he heard Professor Qian's words, remembering that the end of 58 years was the year of the catastrophe, which lasted until 61 years, and if he could make good use of this land, there would be fewer deaths in Sijiu City

"Professor Qian, how long do you say it will take to finish plowing such a large piece of land, are we in a hurry to plant sweet potatoes now?"

Hearing the stupid pillar's words, Professor Qian did not reply immediately, it is already the middle of June, and it should be July after plowing and planting and watering, although the time is a little late, but it is still completely urgent

"It's urgent, but it's going to start immediately, plough the land first, and then do the rest of the work together."

"Go to Professor Qian, let's go back to the company first, write a report, I immediately went to the factory to apply for a driver to come to cultivate and drill wells, now the greenhouse is the time of farming, each greenhouse only leaves one person, and the rest of the draw out all to plant sweet potatoes, and hope that all will end at the end of June."

Silly Zhu took Professor Qian back to the office in a hurry, and the two of them didn't even bother to drink saliva.

About an hour later, Silly Zhu came to Secretary Liang's office with a report that the two had drafted together

Secretary Liang was also surprised to see the stupid pillar's report, this stupid pillar's brain was wild, and he wanted to come out of it, but this thing is really good, more than 300 acres of land, planting sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes are easy to preserve, and they can also be exchanged for materials, this thing can be done, and he immediately agreed to approve it

This planting is not a small project, because the task is urgent, the current manpower of the greenhouse may not be enough, it happens that summer is also the off-season for the work of the rolling mill workshop, and people can be drawn from the workshop to help, which is also the plan given by Secretary Liang, as for the farm candidates, they will wait for August to expand together

Silly Zhu hurriedly told the farm owners to go to the square for a meeting, and asked each greenhouse to negotiate with 1 or 2 people to deal with chores, and the rest of the people all went to the open space between the farm and the hill to clean up the debris and open the way

With more than 100 people on the farm and 100 people transferred from the workshop, the land was cleared before the end of work, and the next step was to plow, dig wells, weed, fertilize, plant, and irrigate

Because the manpower on the farm will increase in the past few days, Silly Zhu went to the third canteen to transfer Liu Lan and a chef in charge to the farm canteen to help for a few days

Jia Dongxu was also selected for the farm gang this time, and he was very envious of the prestige of the stupid pillar in the crowd

The next day, Silly Zhu came to the farm early, and today he contacted the master who drilled the well to be responsible for drilling wells for the open land of the farm, 300 acres of land need at least one well and 3 small wells, and a total of 3 well-drilling teams were transferred to be responsible, and it was almost a day to finish

The driver coordinated by the factory today has also started to work, and it takes 2 to 3 days to cultivate this field, after all, there is only one tractor, and the efficiency of the tractor is not too high now

Fortunately, the tractor did not fail, and the work was completed smoothly in 2 days, and the next step was to use the diesel engine temporarily seconded from the transportation section to pour the ground

At the end of June, all 300 acres of land were all finished work, the stupid pillar was tired these days, and the whole person was also a black color, fortunately, the work was completed, and now the field is very proud to look at this piece of land that he has reclaimed with his own hands

The next task was to have the construction department build a wall between the farm and the mountain, which was not really necessary, but after all, it was public property or safety

Silly Zhu and Professor Qian sat under the makeshift rest shed, drinking tea and chatting about sweet potato planting

"Pillar, now that the sweet potatoes have been planted, we will be harvested in a few months"

"Professor Qian, thanks to your and everyone's help, otherwise we would have enough manpower."

For these professors and students of the Agricultural University, Silly Zhu is very grateful, they help the farm regardless of pay, work with the workers every day, and even do more, knowing that these college students are all cadres after graduation

Silly Zhu plans to dig a river next to the farm, but fortunately, the project is not big, because there is a big river at the front gate of the rolling mill, which can lead the water to form a closed loop, so that it is convenient to be far away from the well in the future, but this is slow

Although the farm is only half a year now, there are a lot of good things left in the warehouse, a melon, fruit and vegetables are available, in addition to the usual daily needs of the rolling mill, the farm itself has left a lot, and the workers often bring vegetables home, which is an invisible welfare, plus some people will raise some chickens and ducks on the farm, using the rotten vegetable leaves in the farm greenhouse

Silly Zhu plans to wait for the mountain to be reclaimed and put a few cows and sheep on it, of course, it is milk and milk sheep, so that there will be no shortage of milk in the future

The step-by-step growth of the farm is all in the eye, which is the result of everyone's joint efforts

The weather is getting hot, the mood is getting more and more irritable, every day when you go to work and get off work, you will pick some cucumbers and tomatoes in the greenhouse, mix a cold dish and a noodle, the characteristics of Sijiu City in summer are sesame paste with cold noodles, or sesame paste with cold dishes, in short, people in Sijiu City can not do without sesame paste

The biggest feature of summer is that each family squats in front of their door frame with a bowl of noodles, and the neighbors take care of it and ask "Have you eaten", and then suck a large mouthful of noodles and then bring a clove of garlic

The house in the courtyard is hot, it is hot, the old men are shirtless, the old ladies wear vests and slippers, and chat about family life in the shade under the big locust tree in the yard

The children are chasing me around and catching up with me, and they don't care if they sweat, their clothes are wet or not, and they are laughing, and the Li family in the backyard contributed a handful of wormwood in the courtyard, and the faint fragrance floated among the people after it was lit, driving away the mosquitoes in summer

During this time, it was rare for Silly Zhu to sit in the courtyard and chat with everyone, of course, the three masters chatted with their own small team on the other side

Qin Huairu was chatting with the little daughter-in-law who was newly married in the first half of this year in the front yard with the stick terrier, Jia Zhang's was still holding the soles of the old actor's shoes, the stick terrier was already one year old and began to learn to speak, and Yushui was playing hide and seek with the little friends in the next yard outside

Such a leisurely day makes Silly Zhu very comfortable, as if he has returned to the time when his mother was alive, at that time I felt that there were not so many things in the yard, maybe it was also the reason why I was small, my mother was in the yard and a few aunts were talking about family things, my father was cooking at home, and I ran crazy in the yard with the rain of little heels

It was also as if when the master was still there, Yushui was doing his homework on the side, and he was learning physiognomy under the master's teaching.

This scene seems to be just yesterday, as if it just happened, and my heart has not been so calm for a long time

It's a pity that this is the only moment like this, Silly Zhu has now become a section chief, and some of the neighbors in the courtyard are envious, some are jealous, and some are even hateful

For example, Yan Bugui, the third master in the front yard, is envious, he just wants to take advantage of it, and he doesn't ask too much.

Liu Haizhong is jealous, he feels that the leaders of the rolling mill have no vision, and he is such a person who is not reused but uses a stupid pillar to be a fool, and even the elders don't know how to respect people

As for hate, it is Xu Damao and Jia Zhang's, Xu Damao thinks that Silly Zhu is a leader, and the primary school culture is not one, Jia Zhang's thinks that Silly Zhu is living so well but does not help his family, these two people can't wait for Silly Zhu to die immediately

As for Yi Zhonghai, Silly Zhu doesn't know what he thinks now, but what Silly Zhu can confirm is that he will definitely not let himself go easily, Yi Zhonghai wants to manipulate Silly Zhu and let Silly Zhu use it for him
