Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 272 Loop
"If you have any good suggestions, just tell me." The director said with a smile.

Cai Quanwu lowered his eyes slightly, looked at the table and said, "For so long, everyone has witnessed Deyong's character and ability. Since I am going to be transferred to the lower level for training, and Manager Huizhen is not in good health, why not let Deyong take over and serve as the private manager temporarily."

He paused, looked around at everyone and continued, "Besides, the tavern has been on the right track for such a long time. Everyone is working very actively and conscientiously. We don't need to say much. And if there is anything, Manager Huizhen is here."

It is rare for Cai Quanwu to say so many words at one time.

Xu Huizhen waited for him to say something before saying, "I agree with this proposal. I also want to take a break. The position of private manager will be given to Deyong, and I can stay at home to take care of my husband and children."

Xu Deyong smiled and declined, "Forget it. The tavern is now on the right track. Even if the two managers, Gong and Si, are away for the time being, it won't have much impact."

The director thought for a moment and said, "As the saying goes, a snake cannot survive without a head. Regarding the proposals of the two managers, our opinions do not count. The decision must be made by the leaders of the street. We should discuss it democratically. If others have no objections, I will report this proposal to the street."

Zhao Yali blinked and said, "I have no objection."

Kong Yuqin and Ma Liansheng looked at each other and said in a low voice, "No objection."

Cai Quanwu said: "Yumei will help Manager Huizhen look after the two children in the back, and she won't have any objections."

"Okay." The director's wife stood up and said hurriedly, "Then it's settled. If I report this, you guys can't help me!"

Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "No problem."

Xu Deyong couldn't help but shake his head slightly. This was really a case of forcing the issue, but it didn't affect him much...

……

It was a hot July day, and three days passed in a flash. During this time, the street office invited Xu Deyong to come over for a talk, and then the appointment was made. In view of the special circumstances of the tavern, Xu Deyong would temporarily serve as the private manager of the tavern.

Cai Quanwu was also sent to a rural area in the suburbs to perform labor training.

Xu Deyong saw Cai Quanwu off and told He Yumei to contact him or Huizhen if there was any problem at home.

Xu Deyong took office. As the saying goes, a new official has three things to do when he takes office. Xu Huizhen was pregnant, and Xu Deyong was angry but couldn't show it. The tavern didn't change much, except that there was one less person working, so the others had to share the burden and became busier.

"Mom, where is Dad?"

"Mah, ba ba?"

……

Li'er and Ping'er adapted to not seeing Xu Deyong often during the day for two days. Plus, Xu Huizhen was pregnant, and she became a little annoyed by his constant clinging. After a small outburst, the two kids realized that their current mother was not someone they could mess with.

When they came back at night, Xiao Li'er secretly complained to Xu Deyong. As for Ping'er, she was still young and foolishly forgot about it soon.

Xu Deyong naturally could not help with such matters, and no one could afford to offend Xu Huizhen now.

Xu Deyong temporarily served as the private manager of the tavern. The neighbors were only interested for two days, as the tavern was still the same tavern.

It was not easy for Xu Huizhen to take care of the baby at home, but compared to the naughty boy, Li'er and Ping'er were already very cute.

As the days go by, this year has been turbulent both inside and outside.

After the summer harvest, all kinds of exaggerated yields appeared one after another, from wheat to early rice, with various places competing with each other with thousands of kilograms of yields.

The atmosphere in the whole society is as hot as fire.

After failing to establish a long-wave radio station, the Soviet Union proposed to form a joint fleet. This suggestion was made in response to our request for naval assistance, but it was also a different way to solve the long-wave radio station problem. However, even though Khru came to negotiate in person, the two sides did not reach a consensus.

The relationship between the two sides continued to cool, and then the Soviet Union stopped strategic aid and switched to paid aid, and demanded repayment of previous debts. Our path to rapid development was thus interrupted...

The heat of July is scorching and August is endless!
August is destined to be a restless month.

On the first of this month, my country's first computer, the Type 103 general-purpose digital electronic computer, was successfully developed, with an operating speed of up to 1500 times per second.

People may not be familiar with this high technology, but when the world's best field appeared later, it was a "stone-shattering" event, with the early rice yield reaching more than 36,900 kilograms per mu.

There are also good news from all over the country.

High yields bring rewards and achievements, so the mountains in various places are higher than the other, and the best fields in the world appear. However, this is just the beginning, and records are meant to be broken.

Early rice has a high yield, so in order for late rice to have a higher yield, common sense has to be put aside.

As the saying goes, if you plow the soil two feet deep, plant 100,000 plants densely, accumulate 10,000 dan of fertilizer, you will produce 10,000 jin per mu.

In addition to local fertilizers and chemical fertilizers, glutinous rice paste, soybean paste and syrup can also be used to add nutrients to the seedlings.

Even worse, some people just sit there and do things like "making dog meat soup", "burning hair to make fertilizer", "artificial sun and artificial wind", chopping pork into minced meat, wrapping it with seedlings and then planting them in the fields...

There is nothing that you cannot do.

Of course, this kind of exaggeration is not unprecedented in our country. When the United States was developing the West, there were many more exaggerated propaganda and pictures.

The grain harvest is bumper and the yield is high, and the situation is very good.

Thus, in mid-August, the decision on the commune and the Great Leap Forward in Steel Production officially began.

Everything is afraid of comparison. In fact, our commune is already very mild compared to the state-owned farms in the early days of the Soviet Union.

When the Soviet Union began to promote state farms, those who opposed were either shot or exiled to Siberia. Others, under high pressure, had to give up their land and property and join in.

Before the collectivization, the farmers in Dasu were very resolute in their behavior. They killed their livestock and burned farm tools and seeds. As a result, there was a severe famine in Dasu in those years, with an estimated death toll of 600 to 1000 million people, including 300 million in Ukraine.

In the first few years, Dasu's crop output decreased by 7.8%, but the purchase volume increased by 150%, and the price given was very low.

The price difference is the original accumulation of the Soviet Union's industrialization.

Of course, the industrialization of the Soviet Union was also the result of the times. It happened to coincide with the capitalist crisis, and everything was in excess.

When the capitalist countries heard that the Soviet Union wanted everything, they sent more than 70 technical assistance projects. In 1931, the number increased to 124, including high-tech projects such as metallurgy, industrial machinery, agricultural machinery and aircraft, with a value of 4000 million US dollars.

The Dnieper Hydroelectric Power Station was built by American experts using American equipment, the Gorky Automobile Plant was built with assistance from Ford, the Stalingrad tractors were disassembled from the United States and brought to the Soviet Union, and the chief engineer of the Kharkov Tractor Plant was an American.

Everything that could not be sold in capitalist countries was taken over by the Soviet Union. Basically 50% of the machinery and equipment were shipped to the Soviet Union as soon as they came off the production line.

It’s similar to how Dasu first helped us.

So, history is like a wheel, a cycle that repeats itself over and over again, and if you are not careful it will fall on your feet.
