The booming era begins with the director of the Propaganda Department!

Chapter 288 The Four Evil Men in the Period Drama!
After Qian Laosen finished speaking, he, Zhao Guihua, and Qian Tiezhu all looked at Zhang Shenfei with eager eyes.

This kid has been smart since he was young, and he often plays his two older brothers, Zhang Shenliang and Qian Tiezhu, around in circles.

nowadays,
He became the person with the highest social status among the Qian and Zhang families combined.

Therefore, no matter what happens at home, everyone habitually consults his opinion.

Zhang Shenfei sighed silently and said, "Uncle, do we have much food left at home?"

"If you count all the coarse grains, fine grains, beans, and everything else, there's still about 3,000 kilograms.

The weather has been good in recent years. After paying the planned grain, our family still has some surplus every year...

Besides, Tiezhu usually goes hunting, and your aunt also picks some wild vegetables and so on."

If you eat more meat and other things, your stomach will be full of fat and you will naturally eat less food.

Generally speaking, people live by the mountains, eat by the water, and farm by the plains.

There are not many places like Qianjiaao, which is located halfway up the mountain and has both mountains and water, and is also suitable for hunting.

They can farm, hunt, and pick mountain products, and their lives are better than those of ordinary mountain people and farmers.

About three thousand pounds? ? ?
Zhang Shenfei tapped the table with his fingers and after thinking for a while, he suggested that Qian Laosen hide the family's stored grain in batches after returning to Fangshan.

Only about a quarter is left to hide it from the public.

"If anyone questions why there is so little food left, just say you are supporting your relatives in the Forty-Nine City."

“When hiding food, you must do it secretly so that no one can find out… Don’t tell even your closest people.

Also, don't take out these grains unless it's absolutely necessary.

At a critical moment, this can save the lives of your family."

Life-saving food? Hiss!!! Mr. and Mrs. Qian Laosen gasped.

They just suspected that the food in the canteen might not be enough, and were afraid that their own food would be requisitioned.

He wanted Zhang Shenfei to come up with an idea to protect his family's property.

How come things become so serious when it comes to Zhang Shenfei's mouth? ?

Looking at her grandson's solemn expression, Grandma Zhang couldn't help but say: "When will it be the last resort???
You kid, why are you always so confused when talking to your uncle and grandmother...

You haven't done anything yet, but you've already learned to speak in official language like Liu Haizhong..."

Zhang Shenfei was not convinced and said, "He is just a team leader, and I am the deputy director now. What do you mean I should learn from him? He should learn from me!!"

Grandma Zhang was old but her mind was young, so she didn't let him lead her astray: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, tell us when is the most critical time???"

Is it that we can no longer eat white flour, or do we have to eat corn flour in moderation? ?

Or is it like the war before liberation, when we had to eat fried noodles made from barley and bran? ?

It wasn't that she asked too many details, it was just that Zhang Shenfei's explanation was too vague.

Zhang Shenfei looked at the old lady and said nothing.

The old lady understood immediately and her voice became hoarse: "It can't be, it can't be like what happened in our hometown of Yanji in 1942..."

She didn't say anything else, but everyone present understood.

The old lady came from southern Henan Province and married to Sijiucheng. In 1942, there was a famine in southern Henan Province. It was a bloody and tearful history of the people of the Central Plains...

Countless people died in that famine, children lost their parents, and the elderly lost their children.

After a disaster, some families with many members were left with only one child.

Some people can no longer eat meat after a famine and can only eat vegetarian food for the rest of their lives.

Thinking of that tragic situation, Grandma Zhang murmured to herself: "Maybe it will come to that point???"

How did it get to that point???
Although supplies are being tightened now, everyone can still have enough to eat.

Besides, isn’t it a good idea to open a cafeteria? Although it’s a bit far-fetched, I don’t think it will go that far! ! !

Is there anything else?
The old lady didn't dare to think about it anymore. She looked at Zhang Shenfei with a serious expression and said again: "Da Fei, you, you are not kidding?"

"Old lady, do you think I'm joking?" Zhang Shenfei smiled bitterly, "There are some things I can't tell you directly, so you can listen to me."

He is now the leader of the steel mill. When he used this excuse to his family, everyone just thought that he was in a meeting at the top and knew some inside information.

Zhao Guihua and Qian Tiezhu fell silent, and Grandma Zhang didn't know what to say for a moment.

Qian Laosen took a few deep puffs of his pipe, and the white smoke he exhaled enveloped him, making it impossible to see his expression.

After finishing a whole bag of cigarettes, he licked his dry lips and said, “Da Fei, my uncle understands everything you said.

Don't worry, I know my limits. Well, if the countryside really gets to the point you said, you guys in the city should also make plans early..."

It has only been nine years since liberation, and those of you who are still alive today have all come from difficult times.

Judging from past experience, if it really comes to that, life in the countryside will always be much better than in the city.

Moreover, Qian Laosen felt that if things really reached the point that Zhang Shenfei said, the monthly ration of the city dwellers would definitely be reduced accordingly.

City people don’t grow crops or vegetables, and they can’t hunt.

By then, life may not be difficult in the city or in the countryside.

"That's right. Your factory must buy food in a fixed quantity now. Otherwise, next time I ask Tiezhu to go to the city, I will bring some food for you...you should hide them first." Zhao Guihua also said.

Zhang Shenfei was very touched: "No, I have my own ideas."

Seeing that my uncle and aunt were still worried, I deliberately grinned and said carelessly: "Uncle and aunt, don't forget that I am now the deputy director of the steel mill, in charge of the canteen."

“I can’t say anything else, but I can still use my connections to buy some food.

Maybe when you are short of food, I can help you."

have to! !

With his words, the Qian family finally felt relieved.

The family stopped dwelling on this topic and started chatting about family matters instead.

after dinner,

Zhang Shenfei sent Qian Laosen and his family out of Nanluoguxiang.

Then I went home and lay on the kang and started to sleep.
I woke up on time at around 12 o'clock in the morning.

He got up and tucked in the quilt for Tian Xiaozao, then put her exposed arms, which were as tender as lotus roots, back into the quilt, and then tiptoed out of the house.

Zhang Shenfei rode his bicycle out of the alley.

They turned left and walked along Gulou East Street and soon arrived at the Dongzhimen warehouse near the freight station that they had rented before.

A few years ago, in order to avoid public-private partnership, their vegetable store closed six months in advance and gave up the rented warehouse.

Since cooperating with the transportation company, Zhang Shenfei thought about finding a place to store the goods, so he found Pian Ye and rented the house again.

Pian Ye is a kind man. He didn't raise the rent at all, and even reduced it by 50 cents every month.

The warehouse is still the same warehouse, and usually there is no stock here.

Only when the transportation company confirms that the goods are to be shipped out of town will he come here and put the necessary goods in.

Zhang Shenfei got off the car at the warehouse door, put the bicycle back into the space, then walked over and gently opened the door of the warehouse.

The place where the starling's cage was previously placed is now empty. The little bird that loved to swear died at the age of four years, which is considered a very long life in the bird world.

When he was dying, he kept mumbling, "I am your father, I am your grandfather."

It's worth it to take advantage of a lifetime! !

After entering the warehouse, Zhang Shenfei looked around to make sure that no one was nearby, then he carefully closed the warehouse door.

Then he took out a list of goods that Li Youbing had given him at noon from his trouser pocket and began to move the goods out of the space.

This time, Li Youbing and Fatty are going to Gansu Province, where the main food is pasta.

So after discussion, the transportation company decided to ship one truck of 8-level rice noodles and one truck of corn noodles.

There is no other matching.

Without all the matching of goods, things would be much more convenient.

Not long after, Zhang Shenfei took out all the things and stacked them neatly in a corner of the warehouse.

I have been cooperating with the transportation company for more than half a year and have shipped things out more than ten times.

The two sides did not have a perfect understanding, but there had never been any conflicts or contradictions.

From this business, Zhang Shenfei can make considerable profits every month.

If he calculated it more carefully, he had saved 28 kilograms of gold and 60,000 yuan from the winter of 1952 to the present.

Compared with other time travelers, these are not particularly many.

But after all, there is endless food in the space, and there is no need to worry about food and drink, so Zhang Shenfei is still very satisfied with his current situation.

After finishing his work, Zhang Shenfei lit a cigarette.

When I had smoked half of the cigarette, I heard the roar of a truck coming from the door.

I guess it was Fatty and Li Youbing who arrived in the transport company’s car.

Zhang Shen took two long puffs of the remaining cigarette, threw the butt on the ground, crushed it with his foot, and opened the warehouse door.

"Brother Dafei, has the other party delivered the goods?" The fat man asked while closing the door after Li Youbing walked into the warehouse.

Zhang Shenfei retorted, "Aren't they all piled there? You want to vent your anger."

It’s always like this. I keep asking questions about things that my eyes can see.

"Fuck you!!! Why are you speaking so harshly?" The fat man rolled up his sleeves and waved his fist at Zhang Shenfei in a protest.

Zhang Xuefei sneered, but didn't have time to say anything.

Li Youbing had already slapped the fat man on the back of his head:
"Fuck, are you sick???
If you get a lot of food like Brother Dafei, you will be more aggressive than him!!!"

The fat man rubbed the back of his head, which was hurt by the beating, and thought about it carefully, then smiled: "That's right."

Over the years, they brothers have been relying on Zhang Shenfei for their livelihood. It is no exaggeration to say that this guy is their God of Wealth.

Other people's God of Wealth has to be worshipped on the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month by burning incense. Their family just speaks a little harshly, which is nothing wrong.

Thinking of this, he looked at Zhang Shenfei and smiled flatteringly: "Master, I am relying on you to get married.

If you have any requests, just ask. We brothers will never argue." Zhang Shenfei glanced at him and said, "You are like Einstein. Whoever gives you milk is your mother! !"

The fat man spat on the ground, not angry at all, but said confidently: "Nonsense, if there is no milk, then it's the father!!"

"That...really makes sense!" Zhang Shenfei gave a thumbs up and grinned. "Okay, I won't waste my time talking to you. I have to go home and sleep with Zao'er..."

Although making money is important, isn’t it nice to go home and hug your sweet and soft wife?

"Hurry up and load the goods and take them to the transport company. It's still early and you can take a nap in the dormitory."

"Okay, brother, you should go back and accompany your sister-in-law. Leave the things here to us." Li Youbing said and went to help Zhang Shenfei open the door.

Among the brothers, he was the only one who treated Zhang Shenfei the most attentively.

Zhang Shenfei patted his shoulder with satisfaction: "You are still the best, you are not like that fat guy who is rebellious!!"

After saying that, without waiting for the fat man to react, he turned around and ran away.

I ran all the way to the freight yard and took the bicycle out of the space.

……

summer,

When the weather was hot, the vigorous G Society H Movement started on time.

All parts of the country responded, and new communes were established almost every week.

Sijiucheng is a city, so the G Society and H Movement should have nothing to do with them.

However, in order to show their support for the People's Commune Movement, the major factories took the initiative to form support units with different communes.

The steel rolling mill’s supporting unit is Nantai Commune under Fengtai.

At the regular meeting on Monday,
When Zhang Shenfei heard Director Yang announce the supporting units, he was slightly surprised.

Nantai Commune???

Isn't this the commune where Cui Dake, one of the four villains in the period drama, lives? ? ? ?

Speaking of the four villains in period dramas, they refer to Cui Dake, Cheng Jianjun, Xu Damao and Wu Yansheng.

In their respective TV series, these people all have sores on their heads and pus under their feet.

In the original novel of "Man is Iron", Cui Dake was originally an ordinary farmer.

However, he took the opportunity to deliver the fat pig Xiaozhuang to the machine repair factory and stayed in the factory as a temporary worker.

This guy is shameless and has no bottom line in doing things.

Relying on his eloquent tongue, he cheated all kinds of materials in various communes and successfully curryed favor with the leaders of the machine repair factory. Not only was he successfully converted to a regular employee, but he also thrived in the auto repair factory.

Not only that, he first pursued Liang Lati, who was hammering nails into the soles of shoes, but after being rejected, he did not give up and turned around and raped Ding Qiunan, the beauty of the machine repair factory.

Then, taking advantage of the three-year ZRZH period, he used material resources to win over Ding Qiunan's parents and successfully turned Ding Qiunan into his pet...

When the wind blows, he becomes the de facto boss of the auto repair shop.

Later, after the reform and opening up, he took advantage of the situation to move up the career ladder, kept a mistress and made a lot of money.

Anyway,

Also among the four villains in period dramas, Cui Dake lives a much more carefree life in the TV series than Xu Damao, who is beaten by Sha Zhu all day long.

but,

Zhang Shenfei remembered that the supporting unit of Nantai Commune should be a machine repair factory, how come it has become a steel rolling mill now? ? ?
Does this thing also have a butterfly effect???

But it doesn’t matter, it has nothing to do with me anyway.

The factory helped Nantai Commune, mainly by helping them build water conservancy projects and repair farm tools.

These projects have nothing to do with Zhang Shenfei, the canteen director.

At the beginning, Zhang Shenfei did think so, until the three-month assistance period ended.

Director Yang's office.

"What?? Let me follow the factory driver to Nantai Commune???"

After hearing what Director Yang said, Zhang Shenfei's eyes widened.

"That's right. This summer our factory helped Nantai Commune build a canal and repair farm tools for them...

In order to thank our factory, Nantai Commune specially gave us a big fat pig - Xiaozhuang!!!

That’s a 200-pound fat pig! ! ! ! "

Director Yang slammed the table excitedly.

"The farmers are so enthusiastic and reciprocating to us.

I think our steel mill must also show our attitude.

If we only send the driver and the security department, it will appear that we do not value Nantai Commune and Xiaozhuang."

Of course, it’s mainly Xiao Zhuang.

Although Xiaozhuang is just a pig, he is a big fat pig weighing 200 kilograms.

In this era, the Nantai Commune’s move was equivalent to the highest etiquette!!! They naturally had to respond with a corresponding standard.

Zhang Shenfei is the canteen director and also the deputy factory director.

Therefore, Director Yang felt that it would be the best way to demonstrate the steel mill's sincerity if he and two people from the security department were to take over this big fat pig.

Well, now that things have come to this, what is there to worry about? ? ?

In fact, Zhang Shenfei also knew that in addition to expressing his importance to the gifts from Nantai Commune, the public security in that era was really not very good.

The slogans painted on the walls of the streets even say "Robbery of police guns is strictly prohibited, violators will be severely punished", can you believe it? ?
It takes two days to drive from Nantai Commune to Sijiucheng and back.

A 200-pound fat pig is pulled on a large truck and there is no guarantee that something unexpected will happen on the road.

Director Yang asked him to bring his men with him, probably for safety reasons.

resignedly,

Zhang Shenfei had no choice but to force the issue.

Early the next morning, we boarded the Pig-nosed Liberation train bound for Nantai Commune.

In this day and age, there is no such thing as a truck that cannot carry passengers or cannot be overloaded.

The cab of the pig-nosed Jiefang truck can seat two people in total, naturally Zhang Shenfei and the driver.

As for Xiao Wang and Xiao Ma from the Security Department, they sat in the back of the truck with guns.

There were no village-to-village roads in those days, and the roads in the old city were still relatively good.

After leaving the city, the whole way is dirt and gravel roads.

Your feet will be covered in mud on rainy days and dust will fly everywhere on sunny days. If the car drives faster, it will look like a sandstorm to the people behind you.

Zhang Shenfei originally had the passenger window open, but he couldn't stand the dust raised by another truck in front of him, so he silently rolled up the window.

At the same time, he shed tears of sympathy for Xiao Wang and Xiao Ma who were sitting in the back of the truck.

"Master Lian, when can we reach Nanchang Commune?" Regarding the humanitarian spirit, Zhang Shenfei handed the driver a cigarette and asked on behalf of Xiao Wang and Xiao Ma.

"You're welcome, Director." Master Lian took the cigarette, thanked him, and told Zhang Shenfei to go to Nantai Commune, which would probably be around two or three in the afternoon.

Zhang Shenfei was shocked. It wasn't that far, but he had to drive for six or seven hours.

"Oh, it's because the road conditions in the countryside are not good, and my car has been used a lot in the past few years, so it has been prone to problems recently...

I have to repair it two or three times every time I drive, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth." Master Lian held the steering wheel with both hands, holding a cigarette butt in his mouth, and his voice was a little unclear when he spoke.

As if to confirm his words, the car suddenly stalled the next second.

Master Lian quickly pulled the handbrake and began to look through the toolbox: "Director, I'll get off the car to check it out. You just stay in the car and don't move."

"Okay, go ahead. If you need help, just call Xiao Wang and Xiao Ma." Zhang Shenfei leaned back in his chair, intending to close his eyes and rest.

Drivers in this era not only have to be able to drive but also repair cars. Even after the mechanic has tinkered with the car for a while, he will return to the car, start it and continue driving.

The four of them were bumping along the way. The driver even stopped the car twice to add water and repaired the car three times. When they were about to reach Nantai Expressway, it suddenly started to rain heavily.

Well, now the master's speed has dropped a few points.

Nantai Commune is located in the suburbs, and there were not many supporting facilities here in the past.

After the People's Socialist Movement was launched, a bathhouse, a hospital and a school were built here, and all aspects of the situation have been greatly improved.

Cars were an absolutely rare thing in that era. Even though it was raining, some kids in the dormitory still ran after cars in the rain.

While running, he also made strange noises of excitement, as if he was extremely excited.

It was a great liberation as the children watched. We finally arrived at the gate of Nantai Commune. With a creaking sound, the car stopped securely.

Zhang Shenfei and Master Lian put on their raincoats and got out of the car, only to find that the commune was empty.

"What's going on? Where have all the people gone?" Zhang Shenfei pulled a child over and asked.

The child honestly told him that because of the rain, the adults in the commune went to the wheat field to harvest the wheat.

"After the wheat is threshed, it is left to dry in the threshing floor. If it is not collected quickly after the rain, the wheat will sprout and this year's harvest will be ruined," said the child.

Another clever kid came over and said, "Uncle, I see your truck can carry a lot of stuff. Can you help our commune bring back the wheat?"

Now they only have a flatbed truck in their dormitory, which can't carry much food at a time.

When he was running after the car just now, he jumped up and got into the truck bed to see what it could hold!

Farmers need help, what else can I say?
Shen Fei waved his hand and immediately asked Master Lian to drive the Liberation. Under the guidance of the children, they rushed towards the wheat field.

The big truck rumbled along and soon arrived at the wheat field.

At this moment, all the adults, boys and elderly people who were able to move in the entire Nantai Commune gathered here, holding shovels and brooms, pushing carts, and rushing to harvest grain in the heavy rain.

In such a lively atmosphere, there was a young man standing on the open space nearby, raising his arms and shouting:

"Comrades, members, the time of testing has come.

We must unite as one, overcome all difficulties, and protect everyone’s property! ”
