Chapter 116

"Go."

Li Jiandong nodded, and Xu Huizhen went to call Sha Zhu.

Soon, Sha Zhu came on a bicycle, asked a few questions about the situation, and took all three of them away.

Even though the other party is not convinced, it is useless. The people at the police station will not care how you cheat.

As long as the matter is confirmed, even if there is no evidence, people can be arrested, not to mention that Li Jiandong is in the right.

After returning home, Li Jiandong praised his son.

Although fighting is wrong, if you encounter someone who refuses to reason and still acts like a loser, you should fight back decisively.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

Spring rain is as precious as oil, and this is absolutely true at this time of year. Not a drop of rain fell throughout the entire spring, and the ground was dry and cracked in many places.

But farmers in some places are sad.

"Deputy Director Li, are you working overtime again today?"

"After I retired from the army, my old squad leader brought me to Beicheng to settle down. Although I seldom go back these years, I always ask someone to bring some food and daily necessities back home every year."

If it does not violate the principles, Li Jiandong will definitely help if he can.

Later, tickets could be used for unified sales, but Li Jiandong had so many apprentices, and each apprentice could bring him several hundred yuan in cash and ticket rewards a day. This has been going on for several years, so you can imagine how many tickets he has now?
If Hu Haodang needs it, Li Jiandong can definitely help him.

Li Jiandong said in a deep voice.

As long as Hu Haodang doesn't say it himself, no one will know that these tickets were taken from him.

After all, the security department of a steel rolling mill is not the same as the security departments of those small factories.

"I'm not on duty today. I just want to ask you for a favor."

Li Jiandong worked until very late that day and was about to go home after get off work. When he passed by the gate of the steel rolling mill, he was stopped by Hu Haodang.

During this period, we always hear that people have starved to death in a certain place, or that it hasn't rained in a certain place for several months.

Li Jiandong didn't quite believe what he said. Although the quota for cadres was reduced by one third, Hu Haodang was the head of the security section and had a lot of tickets. Moreover, he only had a wife and two daughters at home. The tickets from his normal salary were definitely enough for his family to live on.

Li Jiandong thought to himself, you may not be able to pay it back next year. This drought will last for at least three years. Even if we have hybrid rice, it is not mature enough now. The yield has only increased by half, which can at most keep people from starving to death.

Hu Haodang became very anxious when he heard these words.

If this matter is illegal, Li Jiandong will certainly refuse.

But there was no need for him to say this. Since Hu Haodang was giving the ticket to people in his hometown, there was no need to worry about anyone discovering anything.

"Okay, no need to talk anymore. How many more tickets do you need?"

"My parents would rather suffer themselves than let me suffer. If the family was not really in trouble, they would not have mentioned the food shortage in the letter."

I was originally planning to ask Lao Dai to get some, after all, the Logistics Department has unplanned purchases, but I didn’t expect that the Logistics Department couldn’t get any food either.”

"Well, let me tell you the truth."

Li Jiandong felt uncomfortable after hearing this, he had to help with this matter.

Li Jiandong was a little surprised. Judging from Hu Haodang's appearance, it was probably not a simple favor.

After all, these days, no one has enough tickets, and it is inevitable that some people will be jealous if they see you.

"Ahem, it's like this, recently all kinds of tickets have been reduced, and they have been reduced by one third at once, so I don't have enough.

What's more, he has great prestige in the security department, and the team members are usually willing to respect him.

"Old Hu, tell me the truth, what do you want to do with so many votes?"

Anyway, even without these tickets, there is enough, so there is no need to take unnecessary risks.
It’s not that Li Jiandong doesn’t want to help Hu Haodang, but he needs to know the truth. He definitely won’t use these tickets for himself. If he gives them to some people who are not careful with their words, both he and Hu Haodang will be in trouble.

Li Jiandong saw that it was Hu Haodang, so he stopped the car and said with a smile, "Yes, the mission is tight recently. Lao Li, are you on duty today too?"

Hu Haodang sighed.

Although everyone is short of tickets now, if Hu Haodang really needs tickets and needs to borrow some from someone, it would be no problem to borrow a few dozen or a hundred kilograms.

However, Li Jiandong rarely uses these bills himself. If Hu Haodang does not have a legitimate reason, Li Jiandong will continue to save them.

But today Hu Haodang was a little shy and spoke hesitantly.

Although he was worried, he had no way of going back to check.

He had a lot of tickets, more than he could spend in his lifetime. Since he accepted Jia Dongxu as his apprentice in 50, when the unified purchase and sale policy had not yet been implemented, the system had already rewarded him with various tickets in advance. In those few years alone, Jiandong had accumulated tickets worth tens of thousands of yuan.

Hu Haodang suddenly sighed and said, "Actually, my hometown has been dry since last winter, and not a drop of rain has fallen since the beginning of this spring."

Li Jiandong and Hu Haodang have a good relationship. They met each other over drinking. Hu Haodang is a very generous person and Li Jiandong likes to make friends with people like him.

There are four major departments, namely the public security unit, the security team, the militia armed team, and the factory patrol team, with a total number of nearly two hundred people. It will definitely be no problem for each person to borrow half a pound of food coupons.

The workers in the city were better off. Although the quotas were reduced a lot, at least they had food to eat and would not starve to death.

So he asked, "What's the matter? Tell me first."

Hu Haodang said:
"The more the better. I have a lot of brothers and sisters in my family. Except for one person in each family who has a city hukou as a worker, most of the others have rural hukou in order to divide the land. The difference is at least 300 kilograms a month. And I have to make it clear that I may have to wait until next year to return this ticket to you."

Hu Haodang sighed as he spoke, saying that his workplace was too far from his hometown.

"Three hundred kilograms a month, so for three months I'll round it up to a thousand kilograms for you.

Tomorrow is the weekend, I will try my best to collect it for you, and you can go to my office to get it when you go to work the day after tomorrow."

Li Jiandong did not take out the ticket on the spot. After all, who would carry so many tickets with them all day?

Hu Haodang originally thought of borrowing from his acquaintances first. It would be good if he could borrow one or two hundred kilograms. He would then borrow the rest from his team members. After all, the team members did not have many tickets.

Unexpectedly, Li Jiandong was all alone and was going to help him get all his needs together.

"No, Deputy Director Li, can you really get so many tickets?"

"It should be fine, but don't say this to others, lest others get jealous."

"That's for sure. I'm not a fool."

Hu Haodang finally put down the heavy stone in his heart, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Okay, Deputy Director Li, take care."

After returning home from the steel rolling mill, Li Jiandong saw Yan Bugui walking out of the central courtyard with a happy look on his face as he entered the compound.

"Old Li, you're back."

Yan Bugui had a happy look on his face and walked towards Li Jiandong with a newspaper in his hand.

"What's wrong? What are you so happy about?"

Li Jiandong was also very curious. Could it be that this stingy Yan picked up a few cents today?

At this time, Yan Bugui had already walked up to Li Jiandong, unfolded the newspaper in his hand and said, "You will know what the happy event is after you take a look."

Li Jiandong took the newspaper and read it. As soon as he saw the title, he knew what had happened.

It turned out that the Miyun Hydropower Station was completed today, and what made Yan Bugui happy was that Liu Guangqi's name appeared among the main engineers in the construction of Miyun Hydropower Station, and his ranking was very high.

"Old Li, Old Liu's son has made a name for himself. He was even in the newspaper. I heard that someone will come to our compound to interview him tomorrow. This is really a glory for our compound."

Yan Bugui said happily that he had a strong sense of collective honor.

Li Jiandong also laughed:
"Yes, Guangqi has made great progress. With this resume, he has completely established a foothold in this industry."

Watching his apprentice grow, Li Jiandong feels a great sense of accomplishment, which makes him happier than building a hydropower station himself.

When we arrived at the backyard, Deputy Director Chen of the street was reporting the good news to Liu Haizhong at his home. He was also reminding him of some things he needed to pay attention to when he was interviewed tomorrow. When he saw Li Jiandong coming, Deputy Director Chen stood up immediately.

"Deputy Director Li, you're back. I just said I wanted to visit you at your home."

Liu Haizhong also smiled: "Deputy Director Li, have you read the newspaper today? Guangqi is in the newspaper. He is a great contributor to the construction of the hydropower station."

"Yes, Old Yan just showed it to me."

Li Jiandong turned around and asked Deputy Director Chen with a smile: "Director Chen, do you want to tell me about the interview?"

Deputy Director Chen smiled and said, "Yes, Deputy Director Li is indeed a person who has been interviewed many times. He has experience in this."

"This is the interview transcript that the newspaper sent over in advance. It contains the questions that will be asked tomorrow. Deputy Director Li, please take a look at it first."

Li Jiandong took the interview manuscript, and the questions on it were similar.

It's nothing more than about Liu Guangqi's life since childhood, and his excellent character and academic performance, etc.

Unlike ordinary people who are more honest, the media are more exaggerated and false than each other, otherwise there wouldn't be reports about sweet potato yields of one million kilograms per mu and coal-free coking and coke-free steelmaking.

Li Jiandong didn't care about it. He just glanced at it and returned the interview manuscript. "No need to read it. I know what's going on."

Deputy Director Chen said a few more polite words, then said goodbye and left.

Liu Haizhong was very happy and insisted on asking Li Jiandong to stay and have a couple of drinks. It happened that Li Jiandong hadn't finished his meal yet, so they had a meal together at Liu Haizhong's house.

the next day.

weekend.

The newspaper came to interview and the street office also took the opportunity to publicize it on the streets.

Countless people who had nothing to do at home gathered outside Yard 40 to watch the fun.

A female reporter with a ponytail came to interview Li Jiandong.

At the end of the interview, I asked one more question:
"Master, have we met before? You look familiar to me."

Li Jiandong nodded and said calmly, "I saw him once a few years ago at a car manufacturing plant."

When the ponytailed reporter heard about the car manufacturing plant, he immediately remembered it.

"So it's you. Aren't you working on trams? You're Dr. Chang's master. How come you're related to Engineer Liu?"

The ponytailed female reporter was very curious, knowing that both trams and hydropower have the word "electricity" in their names.

But these are two completely different fields. It is already very good to achieve results in one of them. How is it possible for someone to have knowledge of both fields and teach two such awesome apprentices?

"Haha, you don't know this. The Nanhong Hydropower Station in our street was built by Lao Li and Liu Guangqi. How do you think they are related?"

Yan Bugui smiled and said that as the third uncle, it was not his turn to be interviewed today.

Saying something at this time can also make your presence felt.

The reporter with ponytail was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the Nanhong Hydropower Station was designed by the person in front of him.

Only then did she realize that she might have made a mistake.

Such a great man, but I only treat him as an ordinary manager. It is obvious that I am very unqualified as a reporter.

So she quickly put away her contemptuous attitude and interviewed Li Jiandong again seriously.

And as she conducted interviews, Li Jiandong's various deeds were gradually exposed.

Level 8 worker, deputy factory manager, self-repair trucks, hydroelectric power stations, independent steel rolling mill equipment research and development, tram research and development, etc.

Originally I just came here to interview Engineer Liu about his daily life in the compound.

Unexpectedly, it became an exclusive interview with Li Jiandong. Later, Li Jiandong interrupted her and she stopped with a feeling of unsatisfied desire.

In the evening, Liu Guangqi came back.

He was wearing a big red flower on his chest and looked a little tipsy, probably because he drank a lot at the celebration banquet at noon.

The first thing Liu Guangqi did when he returned to the hospital was not to see his parents, but to go to Li Jiandong's house.

"Master, I'm back."

Liu Guangqi grinned. He didn't think there was anything wrong with being in the newspaper this time, but he was proud to have made his master proud.

"Okay, it's good to be back. How long can you stay this time?"

Li Jiandong pulled Liu Guangqi to sit down.

Liu Guangqi said: "If nothing unexpected happens, I can stay here for half a month. I may go to Shandong Province at the beginning of next month. I heard that there is a severe drought across the country this year. Shandong Province is a major grain-producing province and cannot survive without water. The leaders asked us to repair the dam before the New Year."

Li Jiandong nodded and said, it was all because of the severe drought.

“You are now a level six engineer, so take on a few more apprentices when you have time.

In the next few years, the country will certainly provide strong support to build dams and hydroelectric power stations in various places. There is always a limit to what one person can do. "

When he came back this time, Liu Guangqi's skin was tanned and his palms were rough.

Although he is an engineer, he generally does not have to do physical work.

However, to coordinate the overall situation, you will definitely have to spend the whole day on the construction site.

When Li Jiandong was repairing the Nanhong Hydropower Station, not even one person could make it.

What's more, the projects Liu Guangqi is going to build now are ten or a hundred times larger than the Nanhong Hydropower Station.

Even though their team is large, the workload for each person is still heavy when divided equally.

Other engineers have assistant engineers around them, so Liu Guangqi should now be qualified to have assistants.

Moreover, with an assistant, Li Jiandong can get a hundred times the experience return, so that he can upgrade his water conservancy skills to the maximum level sooner.

When those top-level dams are built in the future, Li Jiandong may be able to help out.

As for the current ordinary large-scale hydropower stations, Li Jiandong has no intention of participating in them.

I chatted with Liu Guangqi about some engineering matters. Several of Jia Dongxu's apprentices also came after hearing the news. The brothers were very excited to see each other after not seeing each other for a long time.

Ding Qiunan quietly came to Li Jiandong.

"Master, I want to go back to my hometown next week. Can you take me back?"

Li Jiandong originally thought that Ding Qiunan wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of returning home to seduce him.

But seeing Ding Qiunan's somewhat embarrassed expression, I guessed that she might have encountered some difficulties.

Li Jiandong's first reaction was the food problem, but if it was just a shortage of food, Ding Qiunan wouldn't have to force him to take her back.

Just borrow some food coupons and money and send them back to your family so that they can buy the things themselves.

Li Jiandong didn't let his mind wander and asked the question directly.

"What's wrong? Did something happen at home?"

"..."

Ding Qiunan seemed to have something to hide.

He glanced at Jia Dongxu and the others not far away, hesitated for a long time before saying,
"Someone wanted to pursue me, but I refused. He didn't give up. During the Chinese New Year last year, he came to my house to give me gifts. This time, my mother suddenly called me home. I suspect it has something to do with him."

Ding Qiunan's words were simple, but there were actually many things behind them that she didn't say.

Since graduating, Ding Qiunan's medical level has risen and her income has increased. She also goes home more often than before, almost every month.

Last time, Liang Ladi happened to go back to her parents' home. After going home to visit her, the two of them went to the machine repair factory together.

As a result, that time, he was targeted by a logistics director of the machine repair factory.

The logistics director pursued Ding Qiunan relentlessly.

Especially after knowing that her household registration was now in North City, he showed her all kinds of courtesy and gave her gifts.

Since Ding Qiunan didn't want it, he went directly to Ding Qiunan's parents' residence and sent rice, noodles, meat and grain to her parents.

Because of the severe drought during this period, no one has much food left in their rice jars.

Ding Qiunan's parents were also hesitant at first, but as the man came to their house several times to please them, the old couple began to think that this man was a good guy.

The last time Ding Qiunan went home, her parents reminded her subtly that she should get married as she was getting older.

But Ding Qiunan only has Li Jiandong in her heart, no matter how good that man is to her, she still looks down on him.

This time, less than a week after returning from her hometown, her mother wrote to her asking her to go back.

This made Ding Qiunan think in that direction, and he must be forced to get married.

Li Jiandong fell silent. He really wanted to take this opportunity to let Ding Qiunan find someone to marry as soon as possible.

It is conceivable that the man pursuing Ding Qiunan is most likely Cui Dake.

That bastard is more disgusting than all the beasts in the courtyard combined.

Even if Ding Qiunan just married someone casually, Li Jiandong would be willing to support her.

But Cui Dake just let it go.

"Next week, right? Find time to tell your mistress. Otherwise, I'm afraid she will misunderstand."

Li Jiandong agreed to Ding Qiunan's request. As a master, he had to keep an eye on important matters for his apprentice.

At the same time, he also asked Ding Qiunan to go and tell Qin Huairu, which was also a warning to her to always remember that she is a married man.

At this time, Yan Jiecheng suddenly shouted:
"Guangqi, are you serious? It's only been a few months and Zhou Rong is already pregnant?"

Jia Dongxu also laughed:
"It seems that the 100th person in our hospital must be named Liu, which means you are not good enough."

Yan Jiecheng said depressedly: "Why? How can you be a junior brother? I don't have a child yet but you want to have sex with me first. No, this baby of yours will definitely be a girl."
