Chapter 594: Sixty Things, Fine Factory Flowers (18)
Just when Sheng Yujin was being pulled by her two elders to inquire about his emotional trends, Xu Yin returned to the breeding farm.
As soon as he arrived, he went to the pig farm to visit the twenty piglets he was responsible for.
The piglets seemed to know her, and when they saw her coming, they hummed and came over to beg for food.
Yuan Yafen said with a smile: "I just had a meal half an hour ago. I'm definitely not hungry, just greedy."
Xu Yin smiled and grabbed a handful of melon seeds and gave them to her: "Thank you, Sister Yuan, for helping me take care of them."
"You just feed the pigs a few times, why bother? You, on the other hand, have only had one day off for half a month. Why do you come back so early? Why don't you stay at home for a while? Are you worried about your pigs?"
Xu Yin laughed: "It's okay at home anyway."
On the contrary, it is better to come back and spend time with Zhu than to go back and help Xu Yao get a wife.
When Xu Yin was cleaning the pig pen, she thought of the materials needed for the construction of the biogas tank and asked Yuan Yafen: "Sister Yuan, has the farm director said when the cement and cement pipes will be delivered?"
"It can't be so fast. There are so many materials submitted, and the approval will take several days. It also depends on whether the brick and cement factories are busy, and whether there are other production plans ahead. I estimate that they can be shipped to us before the end of the year. That’s good.”
…”
Is the efficiency so low?
But there is no point in rushing about this matter, we can only wait.
Fortunately, the drainage cover made of bamboo strips is quite strong and can barely hold up for a while.
Unexpectedly, Director Qi came to tell her the good news the next day:
"Xiao Xu, you have done a great job for us! After the last report was published in the newspaper, Deputy Director Lin was commended by his superiors. No, Director Zheng will be transferred to other places when his term is up. No surprise, next time The candidate for director of the first general factory is Deputy Director Lin! Director Lin asked me to ask you, what kind of reward do you want?"
Xu Yin was very happy: I was really sleepy and someone gave me a pillow!
“Director, I don’t want any other reward. Can you ask Director Lin to give us priority in approving a batch of cement materials for building biogas digesters? Come early and build it early.”
Director Qi gave her a thumbs up: "Comrade Xu Yin, you are the first grassroots employee that I admire from the bottom of my heart! You do not seek personal gain and serve the public wholeheartedly. Excellent employees like you in the breeding farm are ours." Good luck! If you work hard, I will recommend you as next year’s advanced model worker!"
Mr.
He had a premonition that Comrade Xu Yin would lead the farm to go higher and further.
。
His wife thought this was not a good thing: "Lao Yang, if she is as capable as you say and makes the farm make great progress, what will others think of you? How will they compare you with her? How shameful!"
"Hey!" Field Director Qi waved his hand in disapproval, "You have long hair and short knowledge! I will have retired by then, what is the comparison? The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the new people in the world drive out the old! You are driven out by the new people. Chao, what kind of shame is this? You should be happy! And haven’t you noticed? It’s only been a few days since Xiao Xu came here, and our farm has been praised by superiors many times. Where has such an honor been given before? We can do it without being criticized. Not bad! There are many praises, and I, the director of the farm, have a bright face. Isn’t it considered as my political achievement? Also, the higher-level departments have been promoting biogas in various places. The reason why our farm has not dared to respond is because we have no money. Can’t you afford a technician? Now that there is a knowledgeable person on site who can handle the biogas issue without any additional expenses, how embarrassing is it to go to the city for a meeting? Isn’t it just another political achievement?”
With the expedited approval note from Deputy Director Lin, cement, red bricks, cement pipes, cement concrete and metal pipes for methane exhaust were transported to the farm as quickly as possible.
Xu Yin took the pig farm workers and started working. Site selection, pool digging, laying out lines, formwork support…
It takes several days to build a biogas digester, not to mention connecting the sewage sewers of the pig farm to the biogas digester, installing cement pipes on them all, and then connecting the exhaust pipes of the biogas digester to the pig farm and the administrative office building. The scale is not small.
What should we do if we don’t have enough manpower? Director Qi called on all employees to work together! Participate in the construction of biogas pools together!
As a result, office workers cannot bear it.
In addition to the fact that the logistics office has to handle swill buckets, issue material issuance orders, and move materials in and out of the warehouse, there is a lot of physical work. Employees in other departments should not take it too easy:
Sitting in the office with legs crossed, drinking tea and reading the newspaper. There is no sun in the summer and no cold wind in the winter. When it is my turn to be on duty, I just go out for a walk symbolically.
Although the salary is not as high as that of office workers in the main factory and branch factories, the work is less and the work is very leisurely.
It’s not like now. After finishing your own work, you have to help your colleagues on the pig farm to cut pig grass.
Because the strong laborers on the pig farm had time to do infrastructure construction, the less technical work of cutting pig grass was assigned to the office.
It was a hot day and I had to cut the pig grass for half a day. I was sweating profusely, tired and hot, and I couldn't help but complain.
But it was useless to find the field director, because the field director said: "You are tired of cutting pig grass? How about changing your job? How about following Comrade Xu Yin to lay sewage pipes?"
That’s even more tiring!
Having no choice, I had to take a roundabout route and complain to the farm manager’s wife.
In the past, the wife of the farm manager listened to the complaints of the people below and made sure to complain to the men.
Why does Xu Yin have to ask all the employees to cooperate with her just by saying a word? Who is she?
But she just heard some analysis from the man two days ago and felt that the success of the breeding farm was related to the man's political performance. So when the employees came to her to complain, she comforted her:
"Lao Qi can't do anything. He can't do anything without seeing Deputy Director Lin? We have approved everything he can approve, such as cement and bricks. But in terms of manpower, the main factory and the branch factory can't transfer more. Manpower, let us farm work out our own solutions. In fact, Lao Qi has taken good care of you. You see, on the pig farm, everyone, male and female, old and strong, has to dig ponds and lay sewers. Not only is it tiring, but it is also extremely dirty. If you don't make it, you might even cut your clothes... The suffering is only for a moment. When the biogas digester is built, we will be rewarded by the superiors, and at the end of the year, Lao Qi will definitely give you more benefits to make up for it."
Seeing that the farm director’s wife said this, everyone had no choice but to give up.
Think about it, the pig farm workers, who are also farm workers, have to work harder than them. They only cut pig grass, while those people have to dig holes, carry mud, and lay pipes...
The most tiring part is laying the pipes. The thick cement pipes need to be lifted into the pit step by step and spliced together tightly. Just looking at them makes my shoulders hurt.
There was no objection, and the construction of the biogas digester was proceeding steadily and orderly.
This morning, Xu Yin had just finished her work and was about to lay cement pipes. Sister Tian, who went out to pick up the slop bucket, handed her a message: "Xiao Xu, someone is looking for you at the gate!"
After a pause, he added with a smile: "He's a pretty handsome young man. He can't be your date, right?"
