Chapter 347 Model Worker
By the time He Lai and Yu Shui came out of Tiananmen Square, it was already past two in the afternoon.
Because of raising hands, clapping and shouting for a long time, Yu Shui was so tired that he fell on He Lai's back as soon as he left Tiananmen Square.
"You can't do it anymore. I asked you to jump up and down and shout 'Long live!' and 'Long live!' so loudly. You must be tired now."
He Lai teased.
"I'd love to." Yu Shui lay on He Lai's back and replied happily.
This is the first time He Lai carried her on his back, so don’t be too happy.
"Are you so happy?"
“I’m so happy!”
"Then do you want to go shopping again tonight? I heard there are people singing and dancing in the square!"
"Come on brother, I'll go!"
"I'm not going. I can't carry someone on my back."
"I can carry it on my back!"
The two people quickly disappeared on the road.
……
When the two returned to Courtyard No. 94, they found that everyone in the courtyard was also gathered in the central courtyard.
It was National Day, and everyone was planning to have a dinner party in the evening. However, since He Lai was going to spend it with Wu Juan in Yard 95, he provided two kilograms of pork to Yard 94 to show his support.
"He Lai, are you going to watch the National Day military parade?" asked Uncle Qian.
"Yes, Mr. Qian, this is a rare 10th anniversary of the founding of the country, so we went to see it. It is very spectacular. Did you go to see it?"
"Of course we went to see it, but we came back at noon."
"Oh, so, are you guys ready to start the dinner party?"
He Lai asked.
"Yes, and thank you for the two pounds of meat. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do."
Uncle Qian said awkwardly that after all, if He Lai didn't come to eat, then the meat would be equivalent to being given to Courtyard No. 94.
"Hey, it's okay, it's okay, that's all I can do, don't blame me for not attending the party."
"No, no, it's only natural for you to be with your mother. We won't say anything."
"Then Yu Shui and I will go back and rest first, you guys go ahead and get busy."
After He finished speaking, he went back to the house with the rain. He was very tired after a whole day of hard work. He didn't even take a shower and just lay down for a while.
But soon Xu Damao came over to call for help, and He Lai had to get up again.
"Brother Damao, I'll go after taking a shower."
"Okay, it hasn't started yet anyway, I just came over to see if you two are back, and by the way, remind you to come over for dinner later."
After Xu Damao finished speaking, he left without delaying He Lai and the others from washing up.
Seeing that the rain had not yet come, He Lai went to take a shower.
By the time He Lai finished washing, the rain had started to become hazy.
He Lai saw that Yu Shui was still a little confused, so he reminded her, "Yu Shui, I'm going to my mother's place first. Remember to come back after you wash up."
"Okay, I'll be there in a minute."
After hearing Yu Shui's answer, He Lai went to Yard No. 95.
The courtyard of No. 95 was bustling with activity. He Daqing and Sha Zhu led a group of women to start cooking again; three old men, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui, were talking about the National Day celebration in Tiananmen Square.
The few people in the courtyard were not invited to join the workers and could only be spectators.
After all, if a worker wants to be selected in this era, he must first be a model worker.
If you want to become a model worker, you must make great contributions to promoting the development of productivity and socialist construction.
It's not just about having a high level of work experience. It requires selfless dedication and working overtime every day to create wealth for the factory!
The reason why Liang Ladi was able to become a model worker is because she worked overtime every day, which made her a model worker in the machine repair factory.
People like Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu are not qualified at all. Don't listen to what the fan fiction says, that an eighth-level worker is a model worker. That's impossible!
In this era, people value the laborers who work hard, sweat a lot, swing hammers and hold hoes; they admire the "old oxen" who work overtime and work very hard.
People like Shi Chuanxiang, Wang Jinxi and Zhang Binggui are typical images of model workers of that era.
Shi Chuanxiang: A worker of the cleaning team of Chongwen District in the old city, he won the general respect of the people with the concept of "one person's dirtiness in exchange for the cleanliness of ten thousand people", and was awarded the honorary title of "National Model Worker". Shi Chuanxiang's deeds were widely spread and became a symbol of the spirit of labor.
Wang Jinxi: Known as the "Iron Man", he was an outstanding representative of Daqing's oil industry. He made important contributions to the development of China's oil industry and became a banner of China's industrial front.
Zhang Binggui: A salesman at the Sijiucheng Department Store, he became a banner on the commercial front of New China with his skills of "grasping accurately" and "knowing clearly" and his "passionate" service spirit.
Only those who work hard on the front line of production can join the workers' parade. Otherwise, how can we elect a few thousand representatives from the 60 million workers in the country? This is a one in ten thousand chance.
"I heard that Xiao Hai from Yard 80 participated in the parade."
"That's nonsense! Others are hard workers!"
"Hey, that guy is also working very hard, working overtime until late at night every day, without even taking a break, working really hard!"
"That's right. He doesn't even care about his wife and children. He's really a useless old man!"
Everyone started talking about this.
"Little Lai, did you go to the military parade? You are good at speaking, why don't you tell us something!"
When Liu Haizhong saw He Lai coming over without saying anything, he changed the subject and started asking.
"Uncle, I can't tell you. My friend was getting married, and when I rushed over to watch it, I just missed the military parade."
He Lai sat next to Xu Damao and said with a smile.
"Second uncle, you must have gone to see it."
"Of course I saw it. Director Yang and I watched it in a designated area. It was quite spectacular."
Liu Haizhong said proudly.
Liu Haizhong is still very excited now. After all, this is his first time as a leader to watch the National Day ceremony in Tiananmen Square. After all, he was only a deputy before and was not qualified enough. This time he can finally hold his head high.
Yi Zhonghai had no time to visit the scene because the aunt had just given birth and was busy looking after his son; Yan Fugui had no such awareness at all. He would feel that going to the scene would only be a torture. He might as well go fishing in the river. At most, he would bring back a few school newspapers in a few days and read the reports.
"Second Uncle, I heard that our factory also produced parts for the airplanes and cannons in the square. Is that true?"
A resident who is a steel mill worker raised the question.
"Don't talk nonsense. You can't ask this question randomly. Even if you ask me, I can't tell you. Our factory produces military parts and we have signed a confidentiality agreement. You'd better not ask around."
Liu Haizhong said seriously.
As expected, after becoming a workshop director, my level of knowledge has been raised, and I know what can and cannot be said.
"Oh, I forgot about that. I signed it once too! But these planes, cannons, and tanks are so impressive. It's incredible to think about it now. Did we really make all of them?"
The resident continued.
"Of course they are. Look at those new weapons. They are obviously newly made. I still remember that during the National Day in 1949, all the weapons were old. Look at them now, they are shining brightly!"
Another resident took over.
"Yes, I was so excited when the planes flew over my head! The person next to me even counted them and said there were 155 of them. I don't know if it's true."
"Of course there are. They are packed with bombers and fighter planes. They are all good planes. There are only a few of them in the world. I was stunned by their neat arrangement!"
Everyone was describing the story one after another, and He Lai was listening with great interest.
