Chapter 1842 Oilfield Base, First Impression of Linqi Factory

February 6th, New Year’s Eve.

The Niu family gathered together. The New Year celebration at this time was different from that decades later. "Making dumplings" was not popular during the Spring Festival Gala. Every program was very interesting, and every family watched the Spring Festival Gala while eating New Year's Eve dinner.

"A big cotton-padded jacket and two cotton-padded trousers, with sheepskin inside and cloth outside, even if it's minus 40 or 50 degrees, we won't be afraid of the cold weather..."

Uncle Heitu's "Red Sorghum Model Team" is undoubtedly the best sketch in this Spring Festival Gala.

“Hahaha~” Everyone couldn’t stop laughing, including Li Si who had watched it countless times. Classic programs always stand the test of time.

Niu Lingling was wearing a red dress and looked particularly festive during the Chinese New Year.

"Son, pour some wine for your grandpa, come on, let's celebrate the New Year together!"

She would not have given such instructions before, but mainly because her son has been so sensible in the past two days, Niu Lingling has gradually gotten used to it.

"Hey~" Li Si, who was gnawing on a pig's trotter, quickly stood up and held the Maotai.

"Grandpa!"

"Hey~" Comrade Lao Niu was very happy, his wrinkles almost touched together due to laughing, and he even moved the cup closer.

"Good good!"

"Let's all raise a toast~"

Today's New Year's Eve dinner is a bit inferior, mainly because Li Dahai is on duty and can't come by train until the day after tomorrow, the second day of the Chinese New Year...

As a result, on the morning of the second day of the Chinese New Year, Li Si was sleeping soundly on his bed in the bedroom when he heard an angry roar from his mother Niu Lingling downstairs.

"Li Dahai!"

What's going on?

I put on my clothes and went downstairs, and saw my mother Niu Lingling getting angry on the phone. I didn't understand why my grandfather winked at me, so I went over to him and asked him in a low voice, and then I understood.

It turned out that the oil field had to have someone on duty during the Chinese New Year. Li Dahai, my cheap father, was supposed to be on duty for two days, on the 30th and the 1st. As a result, the leader on duty on the 2nd suddenly felt unwell with a heart condition, so he had no choice but to continue on duty.

This made my mother Niu Lingling angry.

"Grandpa, this is indeed a bit of bullying!"

Comrade Lao Niu has worked in the factory for most of his life, nearly 40 years, and has a deep affection for the factory, otherwise he would not have continued to wear his old work uniform for so many years after retirement.

He was not happy when he heard this, and said with a glare, "What are you talking about? How can you, as a child of an oil producer, say such things?"

"It was the factory that trained your father, from an oil worker to the current director. Now the factory is in trouble and needs his contribution. This is the responsibility of every oil worker!"

"Li Si, you must be steadfast..."

"Grandpa, I was wrong!" Li Si admitted his mistake decisively. This old man couldn't be the head of the trade union. He couldn't give such a long speech for half an hour without repeating himself.

Don't underestimate the dedication of the older generation.

The grandparents and grandchildren were chirping crickets when they suddenly heard Niu Lingling's voice rising in pitch.

"Li Dahai, the whole place can't run without you, right? You are just a director, not a factory manager. Why do you let us take his shift? Who knows if he is really sick or not~"

"You are a coward!"

"Why don't you dare to fight with the factory director?"

"Don't explain. I don't care. You have to come back to me immediately, or you can wait for me to go home..."

"Bang!" Niu Lingling hung up the phone and sat on the sofa angrily.

"Dad, call the factory director. He is your old subordinate. Why can Li Dahai be bullied by him alone?"

"That's right. It's fine to let Dahai be on duty during the New Year, but why should he be asked to take over?" Chen Yuqing echoed her daughter's words.

Lao Niu glared at his wife and daughter, who were rarely seen before. "Women, you have long hair but little knowledge. It is an honor for the sea to be able to contribute to the factory!"

"Dad, could you please stop saying the same old things?" Niu Lingling started to argue in anger.

Well, Li Si quickly and quietly evacuated upstairs.

……

A few days later, as if the quarrel had been forgotten, Li Si and his mother Niu Lingling were also ready to go home, and his grandparents loaded their bags into the car.

Niu Lingling really couldn't bear to see it.

"Dad, dad, dad, there are only two of us, Li Si and I, and we really can't carry so many things!"

"Big guy, that's great!"

The mother and son got in the car.

"Bye~" Li Si stuck his head out of the car window.

"Grandma, Grandpa, I will come back to see you when I have time!"

"This child has really grown up!"

Chen Yuqing wiped her tears quietly.

After a tiring journey, I first took a train from the island city to Yingdong, and then took a bus directly from Yingdong to the base. In fact, it didn’t have to be so troublesome, but my mother Niu Lingling was still angry!

"Woo~" After getting off the bus, Li Si looked around and stretched.
Two years later, there was a skit with a very classic line in it.

"Workers should think about the country. If I don't get laid off, who will?"

Other industries are in recession nowadays, but when the word "layoff" is in full swing, the people in the base seem to be unaffected. The oil fields and railways can basically be called the boss, and they still live happily within the large collective system.

The family compound of the oil field base is the most envied place by everyone in Yingdong City. In this era, the oil field and the local area, industry and agriculture, are interdependent and have clear roots and stems, with clear boundaries but also sympathy for each other.

Almost half of the entire Heping Town belongs to the oil field base, and the family quarters are also inhabited by people who work related to the oil field, or who rely on the oil field for their livelihood and depend on the oil field factory.

The older generation of people in Heping Town are accustomed to calling those who come out of the Linqi Oilfield Compound "oilfield people", and the oilfield people are also accustomed to referring to them as "local people" outside.

The compound and the outside world are two different societies. The base has its own residential area and now its own hospital, as well as a complete set of education from primary school, junior high school to factory-affiliated technical secondary school and college.

It was so wealthy that it even had independent public security, procuratorial and judicial systems in the early years, but they were gradually cancelled in recent years. Only the police station in the compound remains, and with other supporting facilities, it is basically a small city.

Food, clothing, housing, transportation, birth, aging, sickness and death, as long as you are a worker in the factory, basically all your needs are taken care of. Even the education of your children is not a problem. As a "second-generation oil worker", if you cannot go to high school, you can go to an oilfield technical secondary school. Even if you just want to get by, you can become a worker and become a good young man envied by "local" people.

This is also the choice of most young people. They play around in elementary school and junior high school, and then go to an oil field technical secondary school for a few years after graduating from junior high school.

Of course, there are also a few parents who are far-sighted and are not content with their current lives. They take their children's education very seriously and send them to high school in the hope that they can be admitted to university. After all, this trend in education was already seen in the late 90s.

As a result of these favorable and convenient conditions, even when oil field workers are looking for life partners, in most cases they have to find one among themselves, and looking for a "local" partner is looked down upon.

All these things show the superiority of the oil field!

The Lin No. 7 Factory is under the management of the Yingdong Lisheng Bureau. Lisheng is the second largest oil field in my country. In the early years when the economy was not developed, most of the Yingdong area was the oil field.

Seriously, in the original body's memory, his cheap father Li Dahai was only the deputy director of the office seven or eight years ago, which was equivalent to a deputy section chief in the local area. However, even when the deputy county magistrate came to beg for alms, he had to lower his head and sit down.

Of course, it is not so exaggerated now, but oil fields are still of great importance, or even decades later, oil fields will still be good units.

"Mom, why didn't my dad come to pick me up?"

Li Si felt helpless as he had to carry all the bags on his back. This was because he had been "too sensible" in the past two days.

Niu Lingling on the side was obviously still angry.

"Humph, why bother with him?"
