(Next, we will officially enter the time when the TV series plot begins, 1965)
Time flies so fast, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
My younger brother Zhang Zhiguo is already in his first year of college and is currently a freshman at Yanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, majoring in aerospace engine technology.
My sister-in-law is in her third year of high school and will take the college entrance examination in a few days. With her grades, she can get into college, but the entire academic world will be in unprecedented chaos.
It was obviously inappropriate for a girl like her to continue studying in such a chaotic situation. She could only go out to work now to avoid going to the mountains and countryside.
My younger sister is in her second year of high school. She will go to school for the time being, but she must be ready to take over at any time.
…
Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, Section Chief's Office, Zhang Zhifei put down the newspaper in his hand, his expression a little solemn.
According to the recent news, the Four Cleansing Movement and anti-revisionism have become mainstream, and there are more and more articles about overthrowing the bourgeoisie. Everything indicates that a catastrophe is brewing.
After entering 1965, the entire society became more and more impetuous. Judging from the information collected from various channels, the movement that brought catastrophe to China was inevitable.
Especially after the "Twenty-Three Articles" were officially promulgated some time ago, the "Four Cleanups" movement has changed.
From the previous "cleaning up work points, cleaning up accounts, cleaning up warehouses and cleaning up property" to the current "cleaning up politics", "cleaning up the economy", "cleaning up the organization" and "cleaning up ideas", the struggle has become more and more terrifying, with criticism and struggle at every turn. .
The Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill was inevitably affected. For example, Luo Youyuan, who returned from studying abroad, was originally hired by Li Huaide three years ago as an engineer from the heavy industry department to be responsible for the technical work of the entire plant using his personal connections.
Since Engineer Luo Youyuan took up the job, the production efficiency and quality of the steel rolling mill have improved a lot, and it can produce more complex equipment and components.
Everything was going well, but after May, some people began to spread rumors that Engineer Luo was a bourgeois and rightist and wanted to overthrow him.
It was obvious that someone was jealous of his achievements and wanted to replace him, so they took advantage of Engineer Luo Youyuan's status and background to push this matter into a bad situation.
If Li Huaide hadn't stepped in to stop this chaos at the last moment and transferred Luo Yong to the Ministry of Industry, I'm afraid he would have been the first worker to be criticized in the steel rolling mill.
Zhang Zhifei put down his thoughts and stood up. He wanted to find Li Huaide for help and find a way to leave the publicity position.
The news that Li Huaide is leaving has spread. In the past three years, due to his position, he has not been in contact with Li Huaide as frequently as he was three years ago. However, as long as it is a task assigned by Li Huaide, Zhang Zhifei will try his best to complete it. There is still a good relationship between the two parties. of.
"Zhifei is here, sit down quickly." Li Huaide is still as enthusiastic as ever. From the perspective of getting along with others, he has made great progress in the past three years.
Zhang Zhifei has mainly been studying in the past three years. He has read through the selected works of Mao Zedong and the leaders' poems. He has indeed gained a lot and has become a lot calmer.
"Thank you secretary, I heard you are leaving?"
Li Huaide smiled first, and then said: "I didn't want the news to spread so fast. I tried my best to hide it, but I still can't hide it."
Zhang Zhifei asked Li Huaide in a low voice: "Secretary Li, is there any room for salvation?"
"No, haven't you seen that almost no one has arrived in my office these days!" Li Huaide laughed at himself.
"Secretary, what is going on? You have done a good job, why are you allowed to leave at this time? I feel more and more uneasy about the current situation. Without you at the helm, I feel a little uneasy."
"Don't say it, don't say it."
"Secretary, where are you going next? If you need my help, just make arrangements." Zhang Zhifei said firmly.
He knew that Li Huaide's father-in-law most likely followed the leader. Otherwise, after smashing the "Gang of Four", Li Huaide would not simply lose his position. Although he left the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, the fact that he was a big man could not be changed.
"Zhifei, I'm interested. My next step will be to go to northern Shaanxi and enter the government department. I don't need any help. It's just that after we say goodbye, it will be difficult to meet again." Li Huaide nodded with satisfaction, obviously not satisfied with Zhang Zhifei's attitude. Very satisfied.
"That's not certain. With your level, it's not certain that you will be transferred back to Yanjing and become a parent officer that day."
"Zhifei, society may be even more chaotic in the future. You must be careful not to rush into some things. Now many people are opposing the three red flags. You must not follow the booing. This is a principle. You must stand firm on political stances. Yes." Li Huaide said to Zhang Zhifei earnestly.
Zhang Zhifei knew that the three red flags he mentioned were the general line of socialist construction, the "Great Leap Forward" movement and the people's commune movement. These have been proven wrong by history, but in the current society, these are the program and banners, and they must not be explicitly opposed.
"I understand. Secretary Li, one thing I ask of you is to remove me from the position of chief of the Propaganda Section. I feel that this position will be a troublesome thing in the future." Zhang Zhifei thought of this kind of criticism and street parade, Just shuddered.
"You have a very good vision. You really shouldn't stay in this position." Li Huaide thought for a moment, then said to Zhang Zhifei: "Do you want to be the canteen director?"
"Canteen director?"
"Yes, canteen director, this position does not have much power. It is to communicate with the purchasing department about ingredients, manage the hygiene of the canteen, the chef's attendance, etc.
It is a position that almost no one will notice except inside the canteen. It is not even as well-known as the chef. Unlike the publicity department, the goal is too big.
Coupled with the second-class merit you won for cracking the espionage case and the May 1st Labor Medal you received previously, as long as you keep your peace, almost no one will cause trouble for you. "
Zhang Zhifei thought for a moment and decided that the canteen director was probably the most suitable position for him, as he was a person who was both humble and unassuming.
And it can also consume the excess ingredients in your own space. In this large factory with tens of thousands of people, what you have is just like a little bit of water and the relationship between the sea, and you can't find it at all when you put it in.
"Okay, I'll listen to the secretary." Zhang Zhifei nodded and agreed.
"Okay, I can operate it, and...you should pay more attention to Liu Lan in the agency cafeteria from now on. She has some difficulties at home." Li Huaide thought for a while and asked Zhang Zhifei to take good care of Liu Lan for him. He also knew this difference, It is estimated that it will be difficult to see Liu Lan again.
"Don't worry, I know how to do it. Factory director, do we still have a quota for temporary workers? I want to get one." Zhang Zhifei said sheepishly.
"You shouldn't need it. I understand your situation. Your eldest is a doctor, your second is a college student, and the youngest has your mother's job. What's the use of your temporary worker quota?" Li Huaide asked doubtfully.
"Secretary Li, she is my sister-in-law. Isn't she graduating from high school this year? I'm asking for him."
"Sister-in-law, you have to be careful not to cause trouble when you are having fun. Temporary worker? Let me think about it, letting her work as an accountant in the cafeteria will also make it easier for you to do things." Li Huaide said teasingly.
Zhang Zhifei just smiled at Li Huaide's teasing and did not refute. He knew that the other party did not need to explain himself, so just let him misunderstand.
In Li Huaide's office, he heard a lot of news that he had no access to, which made Zhang Zhifei more and more urgent. According to the current situation, it was not as understatement as recorded in the history books, but there were signs very early.
The launch of the Great Revolution did not start suddenly, but had various omens and purposes.
Zhang Zhifei can only tighten his wings before starting, protect his family, and spend the next most difficult ten years.
