Because the two of them had talked about this topic a few times before, Chen Shouting could not get his wish every time, so he did not discuss it anymore. Instead, he told Li Yan about the two people he had just met.
"By the way, these two are coming to work at the power station. They came a little early, so I brought them over to eat first. What are your plans?”
"It's so early. Didn't Secretary Zhu say that he would be here at 10 o'clock? Why are you here so early?”Hearing that Chen Shouting was going to work at the power station, Li Yan also began to look at the two people who were looking at him. The two should be father and son, at least in terms of age. The younger one seemed to be underage, but his physical condition was good. Based on the children he saw in Green Camel Town these days, the older one was a very ordinary male. He was no different from the one he had seen these days. He had white hair and a slightly hunched back. It looked like a patch on a shirt.
"Hello, Commissioner Li." Miao Zengyun, who already knew that the man in front of him was Commissioner Li, quickly pulled his son to stand up.
"Uh, sit down and talk. I can't eat like this.”Li Yan looked at Chen Shouting with grievance, but Chen Shouting didn't seem to care. Li Yan quickly let the two of them sit down. After all, he was cooking and there were two people standing beside him. What was going on?
"Commissioner Li, I'm Miao Zengyun from Miaojiazui Village. This is my son, Miao Baoji. He wants to work here very much.”Because they really couldn't win Li Yan, Miao Zengyun and Li Yan had to sit down. After telling Li Yan about their business, they took out the letter of recommendation, which Miao Baoji had brought from the village yesterday.
"No need. The work here is still relatively easy. We just need to watch the machine. However, there is still a certain degree of danger, so we have to do a preliminary training. The training time is very short. In fact, according to American customs, power plant workers should also master basic trouble-shooting and equipment cleaning, but because few people in Shandong had received normal electrical or mechanical education, Li Yan did not expect them to be able to do these things. As long as they could remember the data and clean up, it would be fine. He had discussed with Secretary Zhu and the others. They planned to wait until the construction of the Green Camel Town Industrial Zone was completed. He or Xu Chang would have time to do an in-depth education. Thinking of the future, Li Yan thought of another key thing.
"By the way, can your child read?”If one couldn't even read, it would be very difficult to carry out in-depth education in the later stages.
"We had a literacy campaign last year, didn't we? Bao Jiata is very serious about learning. He should be the most literate person in our village.”Speaking of which, Miao Zengyun himself had been to the village several times when the village launched the literacy campaign last year. However, he stopped going there after three or four times. It was winter. It would be nice to stay at home and warm up. Who had time to go there all day? However, his son, Miao Baoji, went there every day. Even when the snow was thick, he went there as usual. Sometimes, he felt sorry for him. In the middle of winter, he wore Miao Baoji's own clothes and Miao Zengyun's clothes on the outside. The two layers of clothes were not very thick. His mouth often turned purple from the cold. However, even so, Miao Baoji did not miss a day's class. He had been unwilling to do so before. After all, he had to repair the house and the stove in winter. Baoji had put on his clothes and he couldn't get off the brick bed for a day. He had missed out on all the work. However, seeing how hard Bao Jiji was working, he could only let it go.
"That's good. How about this? We should have two extra work sheds here, right, Sixth Brother?”They had already considered the problem of redundency when they built the shed, so they built two more rooms. They should still be empty now, and Chen Shouting's expression also confirmed this. "Why don't you take advantage of your free time to clean up the work shed first? After all, your dormitory is behind those two work shacks. You should only be able to get your salary in the afternoon. When everyone arrives at 10 o'clock, you can wait in those two work shacks first.”After two days of construction, the river was more than half completed. The construction would be completed today. As long as it was repaired tomorrow morning, it would be able to pour concrete. There was enough time. Moreover, the difficulties in the project had been solved. The rest was very simple. Therefore, Li Yan did not have to keep an eye on the construction site all day like before. Today, Li Yan planned to be at the construction site in the morning and receive the machinery and equipment that were shipped over at noon. In the afternoon, he would lead the workers to do preliminary training and familiarize them with the generators that were needed. He would also lead them to the concrete construction tomorrow. The materials needed had to be prepared in advance.
"Did you bring your own money or…”Miao Zengyun first paid attention to Li Yan's words about giving out quilts in the afternoon. Miao Zengyun thought that he had heard wrong. After all, in this era, a family might not have two sets of quilts. For example, in Miao Zengyun's home, there were only two thin quilts and one quilt. Usually, Miao Baoji covered the bottom with straw and put a bed sheet on it. However, Li Yan had said that the salary would be distributed here. One had to know that when Third Master Miao was still around, he had to help out when he was busy with farming. He had to take care of the salary and whatnot. Third Master Miao was already a famous philanthropist in all the villages.
"Didn't I say just now that the salary and clothes are distributed? After eating, because there are only six people planned here, it's impossible to have such a big canteen like now. The plan is to be provided by the village committee of Tazishan Village next door.”It was Governor Li's idea to distribute the salary, but it was Li Yan's own idea to distribute the clothes. After all, ever since he came to Shandong, he had not seen many unpatched clothes. Perhaps it was fine to wear them normally, but it was not possible for workers. Whether it was the power plant, the lime plant, or the steel plant, many of the equipment were rotating equipment. If the clothes were accidentally rolled in, it might cause great personal injury. Because of this, the clothes worn by the workers had to be specially made. The collar, cuffs, hem, and trouser legs had to be tied with special ropes. Such clothes had to be specially made and distributed by the factory.
"We even get clothes when we work here.”When Miao Zengyun heard that he would be given a salary and clothes, he even wanted to come over to work. After all, where could he find such a good thing?
"Yes, they're all sent. However, if you resign, you have to hand in your clothes.”When he told Secretary Zhu and the others that he wanted to distribute clothes, they didn't understand. After all, it was already a very high treatment to provide food and shelter in the whole of China, not to mention that the workers in Shandong ate white flour all day long. How many people in China could eat white flour all day long? They had really never heard that the factory was also in charge of distributing clothes. However, his reason was very good. In order to prevent the workers from being injured, they still passed his suggestion. Shandong would distribute work clothes to the workers. However, when the workers refused to work, they had to take back the work clothes that had been distributed. Although that was the case, they felt that such a good opportunity, with food, shelter, clothing, and a salary of 50 catties of grain, who would refuse to work?
"Of course, of course." Others didn't know what would happen, but Miao Zengyun now felt that Miao Baoji's idea of becoming a worker was really good. He could provide food, shelter, and clothing, which was at least better than farming at home. At first, he thought that he had to take his own clothes and salary. He even brought his quilt, intending to let Miao Baoji stay at his uncle's house when he worked here. But now it seemed that he didn't need to prepare anything. He just needed someone to come.
"It just so happens that I've finished eating. How about this? Come with me, I'll bring you there.”
With that, Li Yan got up and walked to the exit with his bowl and chopsticks. Miao Zengyun followed him first, but at Miao Baoji's reminder, he came back with his own bowl and chopsticks. When he reached the door, he saw many empty bowls on a table. After Li Yan put the empty bowls away, the three of them passed through the shed area and came to the last two shed doors. These two work sheds were not built specifically for workers. They were built in consideration of the possible physical problems of the construction workers during the construction of the water power station. After all, although the amount of work was not large, time was still very tight. If someone was tired, they could take a rest here. Therefore, compared to other work sheds, these two work sheds were not big or even a little small. However, because they had only been built for a few days, they were still very new and did not need to be cleaned. As long as it was tidied up, it could be used. Although it was only about half the size of a normal shed, it was enough for six people to squeeze in. They could live in one room and use the other as an office.
After letting Miao Zengyun and his son tidy up the room and asking Miao Zengyun to bring the workers to the training site, Li Yan rushed to the construction site to discuss the project with Chen Shouting. Chen Shouting was not only proficient in business, but also had a certain understanding of engineering construction. He had helped Li Yan a lot in the past few days. If it were not for his outstanding business ability, Li Yan would have even asked him and Xu Chang to be in charge of construction. With simple training, Chen Shouting's engineering ability would not be much worse than Xu Chang's.
After discussing with Chen Shouting and digging for a while, it was almost ten o'clock. Li Yan was about to go to the shed to see if the people had arrived, but he didn't expect Liu Xin, who should have followed Secretary Zhu, to rush over on horseback. He shouted as he ran.
"Commissioner Li, Commissioner Li, the equipment is here, the equipment is here.”When he got closer and saw Li Yan, Liu Xin rushed over to Li Yan's side. Not long after, he arrived. His shout was heard by the people at the construction site, and everyone began to buzz.
"So fast. Shouldn't they be arriving at noon?”Hearing Liu Xin's shout, Li Yan was also a little puzzled. After all, in his opinion, even though he said that he would arrive at noon, it was very likely that he would arrive in the afternoon. It might even be at night. That was why he arranged the training time in the afternoon. He hoped that the people on Secretary's side could find him in time when the machines arrived. However, he did not expect that this batch of equipment would arrive so quickly.
