Tang Mantong almost choked, drank a glass of water quickly, and asked in detail. He learned that his niece had built thirty sock machines, and the production efficiency was twice as fast as ordinary sock machines. His mouth opened wide with shock on his face.
"When did you learn to repair a sock machine?"
Tang Mantong felt like he was in a dream. During the Chinese New Year, Nian Nian still didn't know anything. He went out and walked around. Why did this girl feel like she was enlightened?
Could breaking off an engagement stimulate brain development?
"Taught by Mr. Zhang."
Tang Niannian pushed Mr. Zhang.
Her brother-in-law grew up with her and knew her very well. If she said she was a classmate, he would not believe her.
"Which Mr. Zhang?" Tang Mantong was even more confused.
There are only about seven or eight families in the village with the surname Zhang, and there is no one with the surname Zhang.
"The one on the mountain is awesome."
Tang Niannian pointed towards the back mountain.
Tang Mantong's complexion changed slightly, and he lowered his voice and cursed: "Are you so brave? You dare to know everyone there!"
Then he asked, "Did anyone see you going there?"
"No one will see it, don't worry, I'll do things more safely than you."
Tang Niannian rolled her eyes in disgust. At least she was a regular employee now, while her brother-in-law was still a country boy.
Tang Mantong felt relieved and couldn't help but reach out and rub her head a few times, messing up her hair and turning it into a lion's head with fried hair. He was satisfied.
"That stinky girl has become very capable. I've finished such a big thing quietly. That's it. I'll leave the rest of the work to my uncle and take care of it."
Tang Mantong was very pleased. His father was indeed right. Nian Yatou was the smartest one in the family.
"The third uncle said that the procedures will be completed soon."
Tang Niannian glared angrily and used a mirror to comb her hair. Every time, her hair would be messed up. Her uncle's claws were so mean.
If it weren't for her brother-in-law who grew up playing with it, she would have chopped it off long ago.
"Your third uncle can't handle this job. He's too straight. There are many twists and turns in setting up a factory. The superiors always say it's going to be fast, but in fact it's not possible at all. I'll ask the same thing next time."
Tang Mantong's tone was sarcastic. He had thought about setting up a factory two years ago, and even went to other villages to gain experience. Only then did he realize that setting up a factory was not that easy. It was not something that could be done if one wanted to.
In short, you have to satisfy the cadres above to get the green light all the way.
Whenever the leader at a certain level is dissatisfied, the red light will immediately turn on and he will never try to solve it successfully in his life.
Tang Mantong and his niece learned some tips on how to do things now. The key is just two words -
Favor.
"Every aspect must be taken care of. The so-called "all-round and well-rounded" means that the face of every leader must be taken care of, and the face of the clerks must be taken care of. The kid is difficult to deal with. There is a lot of knowledge here, your third uncle. Can’t handle it.”
Tang Niannian was confused after hearing this. He didn't expect that setting up a factory would be so troublesome.
She used to think that state-owned factories were too troublesome, but compared with the current situation, the environment where she worked before was really good.
Moreover, she lived in an era where high efficiency was important in handling affairs. Government workers served the people. They could basically complete the work in one day and never let the people go a second time.
"Uncle, do you know the cadres of the commune?"
Tang Niannian asked curiously.
"do not know."
Tang Mantong replied very bachelorly. He ran out every day and knew a lot of people.
Before Tang Niannian could roll his eyes, he immediately said: "It's too late to get to know each other now. Anyway, you leave this matter to me. I guarantee it will be done within half a month."
"Go and talk to Uncle San."
Tang Niannian was too lazy to worry about it. She was only responsible for the technology. She didn't care about this kind of human sophistication and couldn't control it.
The most annoying thing is the sophistication of people.
She could indeed learn, but she didn't want to.
Tang Mantong was impatient. After finishing a large plate of fried rice cakes, he wiped his mouth and ran to find the captain.
I don’t know what he said to the team leader. Anyway, he rode to the commune the next day with two packs of cigarettes in his pocket, one pack of Double Happiness and one pack of Peony cigarettes.
Double Happiness comes in a pack of 2 cents and 61, and Peony comes in a pack of 5 cents.
The staff pulled red flowers for double happiness, and the leaders pulled peonies.
Tang Mantong came back in the afternoon, his face full of joy. As soon as he came back, he went to talk to the captain. Then they both laughed and came to find Tang Niannian together.
"Girl Nian, the leader said he wants to see our thirty sock machines and actually operate them."
Tang Niannian had just woken up from her nap, yawned, and said lazily: "Tomorrow I will bring the sock machine over and let the second aunt resign."
"Okay, Nian girl, do you think the brigade canteen can be used as a factory?"
The captain asked for advice, but the whole village only had the canteen empty. A few years ago, the large blue brick building with tiles was specially built for the purpose of eating in the canteen. Now that the canteen is no longer used, it is empty.
"Okay, let's clean up the factory first and then connect the electricity. I'll move the sock machine tomorrow." Tang Niannian nodded.
"I'll arrange for people to work now."
The overjoyed captain, as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood, walked quickly to find someone to clean the canteen, and he also had to find an electrician to connect the electricity.
Tangcun is about to reach glory!
He is one of the founders of this glorious history.
The captain firmly believes that he will definitely leave a mark in the history of Tangcun!
Thinking of this, he took bigger steps, and finally turned into running. Tang Mantong couldn't even keep up with him.
The team leader ran to the village committee and turned on the loudspeaker, "Hey, hey, hey..."
After trying the sound a few times, his powerful voice rang throughout the village. The villagers working in the fields straightened up, raised their heads, and looked at the trumpet hanging on the big camphor tree at the entrance of the village.
"What's the big news again?"
"Why does the captain have to do it every time? Who is doing it with him?"
"Stop talking and listen to what the captain has to say."
The villagers were chattering and stopped doing any work, focusing on listening to the speakers.
"Tang Baifu, Tang Sanjin, Tang Mantian, Tang Xiaowu, Tang Jinyun..."
The brigade leader reported the names of ten strong men and asked them to rush to the canteen.
"Bring a broom, a rag, and a basin, hurry up!"
After the captain finished speaking vigorously, he turned off the speaker and went to the cafeteria to wait.
The village was in commotion.
"You're not going to eat from the big pot again, are you?"
"That's not possible. It's much better now than before."
"Go to the cafeteria and see what's going on."
The panicked villagers had no intention of working and ran to the canteen to ask the captain what was going on.
"Who is talking nonsense? Do you want to renovate the farm?"
When the captain heard about the big pot, his face turned dark and he gave him a lecture before he started talking about setting up a factory.
"Girl Nian was so worried about us in Tangcun that she borrowed some money from the factory. Mantong also contributed some money and bought 30 sock machines so that we could set up a sock factory in Tangcun!"
