Chapter 147 Sudden Assessment

Midnight, steel rolling mill, director's office.

The room was filled with smoke, and the dim lights gave off a halo.

Factory director Yang Youning looked at the documents in hand, while secretary Liu Huaimin was smoking a cigarette, his eyes bloodshot from staying up late.

"Old Liu, is this matter so urgent?"

Yang Youning closed the document. On the 16-karat cover, there was a thick red text at the top.

After reading it, he didn’t even ask whether it was true or not. If he could post it, it must be true.

Now, what he wants to determine is time.

Liu Huaimin put out the cigarette butt, took a deep breath, and nodded slowly.

"The situation is very serious now."

“This time, otherwise the old factory manager would have greeted me in advance, and I wouldn’t even have known about it!”

Liu Huaimin also lamented, who would have thought that the domestic situation would turn out like this?

After only a few good years, we were faced with this kind of disaster, and I couldn't help but feel sorry for the country and nation's many disasters.

Yang Youning was silent for a moment, "Actually, this trend started last year."

"In order to support steel construction in rural areas, many villagers even donated the cooking pots they used to eat, and some even melted their plowshares."

"If there are no people to eat, how can we cultivate the land?"

“If rural people are moving to the city, who will farm the land?”

"I thought it was only like this around the four-nine cities. I didn't expect it to be like this all over the country."

"well!"

The two of them sighed at the same time, and then there was a long silence.

It wasn't until Liu Huaimin picked up the cigarette on the table again that Yang Youning reacted.

He knew that Liu Huaimin usually did not smoke, and would smoke one only when he was in trouble to relieve his nerves.

And tonight, the iron box on the table was already filled with cigarette butts.

"Tomorrow!"

"Since the document requires an announcement the day after tomorrow, it is not too much to do it for the last time tomorrow."

"However, the assessment standards cannot be lowered, otherwise it will not be justified."

Liu Huaimin's voice came out from the smoke, and Yang Youning nodded.

"Um!"

"It's a mule or a horse that comes out to play. Opportunities are reserved for those who are willing."

"We also let these people understand that we have given them a chance, and it is their own fault if they fail to seize it."

Liu Huaimin stood up and prepared to find someone to prepare.

In the courtyard, Yang Xiaotao closed the dictionary. The words he memorized recently were all ABCD. Fortunately, he had experience in his previous life, and the words in this world did not have so many annotations or tones.

I have almost memorized the memorization these days, and Yang Xiaotao estimates that he will be able to memorize all the words in a day or two.

Of course, there are credits for reading in a dictionary.

When I first read the dictionary, I gave it a score of 75. If I had memorized it all, it should be more advanced than accuracy, and I would definitely have a lot of credits by then!

After getting up and putting on his coat, Yang Xiaotao walked around the yard and looked at the cornfield. Xiaowei emerged from a corn stalk and then hid under the corn leaves.

Wang Caizhi froze his ears, obviously hearing Yang Xiaotao's movements.

"Watch carefully!"

Woohoo

Wangcai called out softly, and Yang Xiaotao turned around and walked back.

Silly Zhu fell upside down on the bed, without taking off his clothes. He had a wine bottle rolling in his hand and smelled of alcohol.

"Sister Xiao Qin, hehe!"

"hey-hey!"

At Xu Damao's house, Lou Xiao'e tightened the quilt on the bed and reached out to touch the other side. It was empty. Then she remembered that Xu Damao went to the countryside to play a movie today.

"Bastard Xu Damao!"

He cursed and continued to sleep.

"Ah sneeze!"

A low sound of sneezing came from the haystack. Xu Damao quickly looked around, and when he found no one there, he tightened his clothes and held his waist and walked out.

After a while, a woman wearing a cotton-padded jacket came out with two dollars in her hand.

"If you do too many bad things, someone will definitely scold you again!"

The woman smiled and joked, not paying attention to Xu Damao's eyes staring at her chest.

"Pooh!"

"How dare I, Xu Damao, and the others scold me? They can only talk behind my back!"

"I trust you!"

"Hey, let's go! I'll see you next time!"

"Let's go quickly. I have to go back. The old lady will find out if it's too late!"

"Let's go, that's right, you know, don't cause any trouble!"

"Tch, I got my ring this morning!"

After saying that, the two of them parted ways and went their separate ways.

In the Jia family, Jia Dongxu was lying on the bed, clenching the headboard of the bed with his hands, and his breathing became increasingly rapid.

Suddenly, his body contracted and a long cry sounded. His whole body relaxed and he collapsed on the bed, feeling drowsy.

Next, Qin Huairu stood up, spat out saliva, and looked at Jia Dongxu, who looked like a corpse, and saw that there was no movement on the other side.

"Useless things!"

He cursed in his heart, then looked at Banggeng next to him, sleeping soundly listening to Jia Zhang's snoring.

But this sound was like a curse to her, and her body was so hot that she couldn't sleep.

The next day, Yang Xiaotao got up to cook. This is how a person's life is, he has to do everything by himself, and there is no one who knows whether it is hot or cold.

Alas, it’s not easy to be single.

With a sigh, Wangcai ran into the house with his head rubbing against his trouser legs.

"Damn! Even the dogs are cooked by someone!"

After breakfast, Yang Xiaotao glanced at the corn in the yard. It was still cold, so it couldn't be too outrageous.

Carrying a bag and going out to work, when passing by the front yard, Yi Zhonghai was walking in front, but he didn't see the guardians on the left and right who usually followed behind him.

Silly Zhu got up from the bed unsteadily. Last night he was making supper in the factory. He came back late and drank some wine. His head is still not clear yet.

Fortunately, there isn't much going on in the kitchen, so I just need to go there before cooking at noon.

Looking at the sky, Shazhu threw his head back and continued to sleep.

Jia Dongxu stretched out his hand and beat his back, rubbed his eyes and walked under the bed.

Just after taking two steps, I felt a stabbing pain in my waist, and I sucked in a cold breath with my teeth grimacing.

Mrs. Jia Zhang was not surprised. When she saw him getting up, she quickly handed over the prepared porridge. Qin Huairu was nibbling on the steamed buns and waiting for Banggong to eat.

"Oh, my eldest grandson hasn't eaten an egg for many days!"

"Huai Ru, go buy two today to make up for your eldest grandson."

Mrs. Jia Zhang looked at Banggian's little face, her eyes full of kindness.

"Mom, I have no money!"

Qin Huairu whispered, Jia Zhang's expression was dull.

After hearing this, Jia Dongxu put down his bowl, dug into his pocket, and took out two cents.

"That's all for me. It's the end of the month and I'll be paid in two days!"

"When the time comes, buy more meat and make up for it!"

With no money on hand, Jia Dongxu felt ashamed, so he got up and walked out after a few sips.

Qin Huairu curled her lips behind her, saying that it would be good to have enough to eat every day with just that little salary.

When Yang Xiaotao came to the workshop, he saw Wang Fa and Che Wenwei talking about this, and their expressions changed.
