The next afternoon, He Shaoqing finished his work and the first thing he did was to go to the steelworks.
The steel plant was much bigger than it was two years ago, and there were people standing guard outside. It had been renamed Red Star Steel Plant.
He Shaoqing didn't care about that. He just came to ask about his nephew, He Yuzhu's work. Anyway, there was always a time bomb on his nephew's head. If one day, he wasn't in China, what would he do?
"Hello, what's the matter?"
He Shaoqing knew at a glance that this person should be a soldier. According to the information he received in the morning, the steel mill had now become a state-owned company.
There were more than 4,000 workers in the Rolling Mill, including the secretary of the Party Committee, the factory director, and the factory director. Lou Bancheng only knew that the secretary of the Party Committee was surnamed Liang and was a veteran of the Second vertical. He knew nothing else.
"Hey, are you here to talk business or not?”
He Shaoqing had just gotten out of the car at the gate when he was stopped by the security guard. However, he did not think too much about it because they all had jobs.
"I'm here to see Factory Manager Lou, Lou Bancheng.”
"Excuse me, may I see your identification?”
The steel mill had become one of the largest factories in the country. The Ministry of Industry had even assigned a battalion commander level guard to the steel mill and equipped it with a large number of guns.
They had to be prepared for an unknown person to enter their factory.
Stone was about to speak when He Shaoqing pulled him back. Everyone was here to look for someone, not to cause trouble. There was no need to be so overbearing, right?
He Shaoqing handed over his identification card. When the waiter saw it, he immediately stood up straight and saluted.
"Hello, sir. I didn't know you were a senior officer, so I was a little rude.”
"It's okay. I know your duty is to protect our factory. Can you let me in?”
Unexpectedly, when He Shaoqing said this, the guard actually shook his head.
"I'm sorry, Director Lou isn't here. He didn't come back in the morning.”
When He Shaoqing heard that Lou Bancheng wasn't around, she felt a little disheartened. This time, her efforts were in vain. She had originally planned to wait for Lou Bancheng to go to the steel mill before looking for him. However, when she thought about how she didn't know when she would be back, Lou Bancheng might not be back yet.
Then, He Shaoqing thought of Lou Bancheng and asked,
"I'm not sure if you have any impression of Lou Bancheng's address. I can ask him.”
"I'm sorry, we don't know Director Lou's address. Do you want me to go in and ask?”
He Shaoqing nodded.
"Thank you."
"It's okay, it's okay. Wait in the hall first. I'll call you right away."
Seeing him leave, He Shaoqing did not follow the other guards into the hall.
Dongzhimen was very prosperous. There were hawkers and hawkers everywhere. Early in the morning, there were carriages rushing on their way.
There were many food stalls here, as well as a large area of messy residential areas, all of which were slums.
Although Dongzhimen was outside the city, there were still many vendors setting up stalls here. After all, there were many factories here.
It wasn't time to work yet, so there were many people coming and going in the rolling mill. Some passersby saw He Shaoqing and Shi Tou in uniform and cast a strange look at them.
He Shaoqing was already used to it. When he went out in his military uniform, everyone looked at him as if he was a rare animal.
"Guild Leader, look at how beautiful those girls are!"
As the saying goes, if you don't go to the battlefield for three years, there are more women than women, but most of them are doctors and artists.
During wartime, they could still carry weapons and fight, but after liberation, most of them were assigned to the rear.
He Shaoqing also understood that Shi Tou was young and full of vigor. His curiosity towards women was just right, but rules were rules.
"You brat, look at your eyes clearly. If a person with a bad temper sees you, I won't help you."
There were also many female workers in the rolling mill. The green work clothes they wore were indeed unique. Not to mention He Shaoqing, even he himself felt a little dazzled.
"Uncle He, what brings you to our steel factory? Are you here to see the pillar?"
He Shaoqing heard the voice behind him and turned around. He found that Jia Dongxu was also there, and Yi Zhonghai was beside him. He Shaoqing did not have any objections to Yi Zhonghai.
Although he had some complaints about his neighbors, they were all ordinary neighbors after all. He could not be bothered to pay attention to them.
"Dongxu, I'm not here to see you. Do you want to have a meal together?”
Jia Dongxu nodded. Although the cold rolling mill would provide lunch, sometimes some employees would leave the cold rolling mill for a change of taste. Therefore, Yi Zhonghai decided to leave the cold rolling mill with his disciples. He was already tired of the cold rolling mill's food.
In the past, when He Daqing was around, people would still go to the restaurant to eat because He Daqing's cooking skills were very good. Even if he cooked things in a big pot, it would be much better than the stir-fried food outside.
After He Daqing left, the steel rolling staff complained even more about the meal. Not only did they not eat anything good, but the quality of the food was also very average. It was either plain water or plain water.
"Uncle He, do you want to have dinner with us?”
Jia Dongxu had a very good impression of Second Uncle He. He had once stayed in his courtyard for a period of time. That was why he had rejected him. He had told him that his family did not have enough money to cultivate.
Although Jia Dongxu was not accepted as a disciple by He Shaoqing, he did not have any complaints about him. On the contrary, he had a good relationship with He Yuzhu.
When He Yuzhu was threatened by the Xu family, Jia Dongxu wanted to speak up for him, but he was stopped by his mother.
"No need, I'll go first, you eat first."
He Shaoqing could see that Yi Zhonghai's strange gaze was probably still brooding over what happened yesterday. Forget it, it's up to you. If you have the ability, then do it.
The weak should have the self-awareness of the weak. If a person insisted on pretending to be a strong person, sooner or later, he would not be able to bear the consequences.
Jia Dongxu nodded in agreement when He Shaoqing rejected him. He was just saying it casually because he knew that he was under a lot of pressure when he was alone outside.
"Alright, Uncle He, we'll take our leave!”
He Shaoqing looked at the backs of the two people leaving and found that Jia Dongxu had changed a lot. When he first came to the Siheyuan, Jia Dongxu was still a quiet person. But now, he had learned a lot of things. All these years of work had made him mature a lot.
According to Zhu Zi, Jia Dongxu's skills were very good, and his salary was raised as soon as he joined the job. It was obvious that Yi Zhonghai's master was also very concerned about him.
He Shaoqing understood Yi Zhonghai's thoughts very well, which was to impart knowledge dutifully and then wait for his disciples to retire. In this era, there were too many such things, and he was already used to it.
After about ten minutes, she saw the young man who had called her walking towards the door.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. This is Director Lou's address.”
He Shaoqing took a letter from the guard. A location was marked on the letter. This was the gathering place of the rich in the 49 City.
" Thank you."
" You're welcome." He smiled.
He Shaoqing did not immediately go to Lou Bancheng's residence because he still had something to deal with in the afternoon. He could go if he had time because he had received the information that he could not leave for the time being. He was not in a hurry.
"Let's go eat and then go to the General Staff.”
He Shaoqing looked at the many delicacies on the street and his heart was also beating fast. He had been fighting all this time and only ate some simple food. When he was free, he only ate some vegetables and cornbread. It had been a long time since he had eaten such delicacies.
He Shaoqing remembered that there was a street near Dongzhimen. There were everything on this street. There were daily necessities, antiques, snacks, and snacks. They were all sold on this street. In the 1990s, if you were willing to pay more money, you could find a beautiful girl here.
There was a temple fair on the street of Longfu Monastery once a month. In the past, it was a place for pilgrims to offer incense. However, in the Qing Dynasty, the monastery declined. In order to protect their land, the monks rented it out and took it back. This was the so-called " land property ", which gradually became a gathering place.
The Longfu Temple Fair was the most legendary event in the city. Forty-nine years later, the name " temple fair " had long disappeared, but the people of the city still called it the temple fair.
After He Shaoqing arrived at the destination, he asked the driver and Shi Tou to get off the car. The driver had said that he was just hanging out, but He Shaoqing would never agree. This guy had sent him all the way. The two of them were here to eat. They didn't even have any friends. It was really too unbrotherly.
After getting off the car, the bird market was at the entrance of the temple fair. Longfu Temple was a bird market in its earliest days. As more and more tourists came, the business here also increased.
He Shaoqing was not interested in birds, but he was very interested in roasted birds. He Shaoqing was dazzled by the variety of birds in the bird market. He looked at the price. Damn, this was simply a scam. A bird was equivalent to a staff member's monthly income.
After passing through the bird market, they arrived at the food street. First, there were sausages. Everyone had their own favorite food, followed by scones, jelly, oil tea, fruit cakes, wormwood, beans, yellow oil cakes, sugar fire cakes, ginger slices...
There were dozens of snacks of different flavors. He Shaoqing picked some for the two of them. Anyway, there were other things to eat later, so they had to fill their stomachs first.
There was once a saying on the street of Longfu Temple: "The temples in the east and west have all kinds of goods. They can sell for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a day. There are a few rich people wandering around here, and their bodies are still stained with the fragrance of roasted meat.”
Longfu Temple's temple fair was near South Copper Gong Alley, only a ten-minute walk away.
When He Shaoqing was young, he loved to come here with a few friends to play. It was just that this place was too far away from their hometown at that time. It was not easy to have the opportunity to come here.
