The fifth day of the lunar month.
Heavy snow.
It's a good time to get married and start construction.
The steel rolling mill is holding a mobilization meeting at this time. The new year is here, and the mill has also received new tasks from the ministry. The factory leaders began to speak one by one, but this time there was no Lin Shaowen.
Many people are asking around for the news about why Lin Shaowen was dismissed, but only Yang Weiguo and Li Xinmin know the inside story, and they will never reveal this information to them even to death.
After the last factory leader finished speaking.
Yang Weiguo returned to the stage again, looked at the people in the audience and said solemnly, "Comrade Lin Shaowen has been temporarily removed from the position of director of the Medical Department due to some personal issues, but this year I have to be in charge of production and I am not very skilled in managing the Medical Department, so just now Let’s discuss it with the factory leaders.”
"Comrade Lin Shaowen is temporarily appointed as the acting minister of the Medical Department and will manage all daily work of the Medical Department."
"this……"
Yi Zhonghai and others, who were watching the joke just now, were immediately dumbfounded.
The last time we talked about dismissal, we didn't say about canceling Lin Shaowen's salary and allowances. Now he is asked to act as minister. Isn't this the same as taking off his pants and farting?
"Since no one has any objections, let's just arrange the matter and let the meeting adjourn."
After Yang Weiguo said a word, he left first.
Liu Haizhong opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't dare to say anything against it.
"Minister Lin, congratulations."
Li Chunhua and Wang Kuirong were the first to laugh.
I have to say that the two of them really have some feelings for Lin Shaowen.
Lin Shaowen was dismissed from his post, and they all had a hard time this year.
"Congratulations, it's just the acting minister." Lin Shaowen said with a wry smile.
"The factory has not revoked your treatment. The acting minister does not need to attend the factory's executive meetings. Isn't this just what you want?" Li Xinmin came over and said with complicated eyes, "Minister Lin, my father-in-law asked me to tell you to calm down. , things have taken a turn for the better.”
"Is there a turning point?"
When Lin Shaowen heard this, not only was he not happy, but he frowned.
Several people couldn't help but frowned when they saw his appearance.
Is it possible that something big is really going to happen?
Infirmary.
Lin Shaowen sat on the stool in a daze worriedly. After hesitating for a moment, he entered the island.
I was about to throw a few poles to relax, but I saw rice growing in the open space at the door of the house.
Rice is not unusual, but rising rice in dry land is very unusual.
After he picked an ear at random, he pinched it and took a look. The rice was very full and crystal clear. It was no ordinary rice at first glance. But what can we do with just a few acres of rice?
Lin Shaowen sighed and started to swing.
"First shot."
“Get a home grain remover.”
"Second shot."
"Get a hundred pounds of beef."
"The third shot."
"Get a hundred catties of vegetables."
Lin Shaowen took back the fishing rod and looked at the supplies in a daze.
Every time he fishes, he actually has some presets. For example, if he wants something or lacks something, he will have a high chance of catching it. Now three poles in a row are related to food. It seems that something big has happened.
Return to the infirmary.
Lin Shaowen continued to be in a daze. He was just a small person and could not change anything at all.
Even if he is "alarmist", let alone whether the superiors take it seriously, even if they take it seriously... so what?
After a month of such worry, a catastrophe swept the country.
Siheyuan.
"How are you going to live like this?" Yi Zhonghai sighed.
Now there is no food left on the streets. People are robbing supplies like crazy, but very little can be obtained.
"Who says it's not the case?" Sha Zhu, the cook, also sighed, "Now let alone big steamed buns, even steamed buns are no longer available."
Yan Bugui didn't feel much at all. Anyway, his family's food was always not very good.
Lin Shaowen was chatting with Xu Damao in the courtyard.
"Old Lin, do you really want to stop thinking about it? Zhang Wan's cousin is actually very good." Xu Damao chuckled.
"Old Xu, what time of year are you still thinking about this kind of thing?" Lin Shaowen frowned and said, "Even the Zhang family of Sijiu probably doesn't have much food left, right?"
"Don't worry about it, brother, you won't be hungry anyway." Xu Damao said with a smile.
"Damn it, is Sijiuzhang crazy?"
Lin Shaowen was stunned.
How long has it been since then? Sijiuzhang still dares to make trouble behind his back. Is he afraid that the higher-ups won’t be able to kill him?
Just as Xu Damao was about to say something, there was a sound of wheels grinding snow outside the door.
Everyone stopped talking and looked outside the door.
"Minister Lin..."
Gu Yanbing walked in and shouted.
"Brother Gu, what are you doing?" Lin Shaowen asked in surprise.
Now that we have found the courtyard, could something big happen?
"The minister is looking for you." Gu Yanbing whispered.
Lin Shaowen said nothing and walked straight out the door.
A look of worry flashed across Qin Huairu's eyes. From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want Lin Shaowen to participate in any "big event." I just hope that he is safe and that the two of them can live a good life together.
On the car.
Lin Shaowen didn't speak again except calling "Minister".
He looked at Bi Yanjun and found that he was much older than the year before. His hair, which was only gray on his temples, was now gray.
"Xiao Lin, do you have a way to deal with it?" Bi Yanjun said in a deep voice.
"I didn't." Lin Shaowen shook his head.
"If there is, you can tell me." Bi Yanjun advised, "The current situation is very pessimistic. The higher-ups... had some misunderstandings with Soviet Russia, so there is no assistance."
Lin Shaowen fell into silence.
Bi Yanjun didn't force him anymore, he just smoked silently.
for a long time.
"I wonder if we can purchase grain from Soviet Russia in the name of the Ministry of Industry or even the steel rolling mill... Of course, interest-free borrowing is also possible." Lin Shaowen said in a voice like a mosquito.
Bi Yanjun's hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly, and he looked at Lin Shaowen in disbelief, "If this is the case, the channel requires us to contact ourselves."
This plan works.
Soviet Russia is also interested in aiding or selling grain. As long as they are given a delay of one or two years, repaying the debt will not be a problem.
"I have a few friends, all of whom seem to be high-ranking officials." Lin Shaowen lowered his head and said.
"You write a letter, and I will be responsible for opening up the channels." Bi Yanjun suppressed his excitement.
He naturally knew who Lin Shaowen was talking about.
But he couldn't come forward in this matter. Instead, it would be best for Lin Shaowen to come forward.
Just in the name of the steel rolling mill.
Lin Shaowen wrote a letter to Andre and Kadanfu at the Ministry of Industry, telling them about the interest-free grain purchase. In fact, he was a little uneasy in his heart and did not have enough confidence in this matter. However, he did not expect that half a month later, Andre and Kadanfu both responded to the letter.
They said they could help solve the problem, but it was not assistance, but an interest-free loan.
