Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Chapter 201 The Great Steelmaking Movement Begins

"Hehe, the secret cannot be revealed."

"What? Tell me now!"

Shen Maiqiu's curiosity was aroused, and he pulled Wang Jianjun's arm and shook it left and right to make him speak.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Wang Jianjun whispered a few words into Shen Maiqiu's ear.

After hearing this, Shen Maiqiu blushed and said angrily:

"No! How can I face my sister if she sees me like this?"

"Don't worry, your sister said she wants to take a rest this week, so it's your turn to accompany me this week."

Shen Maiqiu hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't resist his curiosity and agreed.

After succeeding, Wang Jianjun no longer kept the secret and immediately told Shen Maiqiu about his plan.

In fact, his method of revenge is very simple.

Aren’t the old deaf man and Yi Zhonghai planning to trick Sha Zhu into providing for their retirement?

Then I will let them get nothing in return.

The key to this matter lies in He Daqing.

Wang Jianjun didn't believe that He Daqing would really leave the city for a white widow.

There must be some calculations by Yi Zhonghai in this.

The old deaf man is probably also involved.

There is also the matter of Yi Zhonghai embezzling the money sent by He Daqing.

If these things were to be exposed, He Yuzhu would be a real fool if he could still help Yi Zhonghai and the old deaf man.

Of course, in order to prevent Sha Zhu, a stubborn guy, from being brainwashed by Yi Zhonghai again.

Wang Jianjun thought he could call He Daqing back.

By then, a group of people will start to fight each other, and it will become unclear whether the old deaf woman can still live in peace in her old age.

"What? I thought you had some sophisticated plan."

Shen Maiqiu satisfied his curiosity and prepared to escape from Wang Jianjun's clutches.

Unfortunately, he was grabbed by Wang Jianjun.

"Ma'am, you can't go back on your word."

"But in broad daylight..."

Shen Maiqiu still wanted to fight back.

But Wang Jianjun directly rejected it:

"Isn't there a phrase called 'Bai Ri Xuan'?"

Having said that, he didn't give Shen Maiqiu a chance to refute and directly carried her into the space.

In the evening, the old deaf man kept his promise and came over with two hundred yuan and gave it to Wang Jianjun.

Looking at the painful expression on the old deaf man's face, Wang Jianjun was in a good mood.

It doesn't matter whether it's money or not. As long as I can make this old guy unhappy, he will be happy.

Wang Jianjun is not in a hurry to deal with He Daqing's affairs for the time being.

He only knew that He Daqing went to Baoding.

But only the He family knows where it is exactly.

Yi Zhonghai might know, but he certainly wouldn't tell him.

He Yuzhu won't tell him either, so the only breakthrough point is He Yushui.

He Yushui is currently studying and living in school, and only comes back occasionally on weekends.

Wang Jianjun plans to talk to her about this next time he meets her.

With the start of the Great Steelmaking Movement.

The courtyard also began to become chaotic.

The ideological work of the three uncles did not go smoothly.

Every household makes the excuse that there is not enough iron at home.

Of course, no matter whether there is enough iron or not, no one is willing to contribute it for free.

Wang Jianjun did hand it in.

But it was only after the second uncle urged him repeatedly that he pretended to hand it over reluctantly.

For this, the third uncle specially praised Wang Jianjun.

Because he was the first one in the hospital to hand it in.

What surprised Wang Jianjun was that the Jia family did not cause trouble this time.

Later, Wang Jianjun asked his third uncle and found out that Jia Zhang had returned to the countryside.

When Wang Jianjun heard that Jia Zhang had returned to the countryside to join the people's commune, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Jia Zhang has really dug her own grave.

He knew how deceptive the people's commune was.

Don’t be fooled by the good food in the commune canteen in the early days.

In fact, that is just eating up the food for the next year.

Those were all grains collected from the commune members. Before the new grains were collected, the canteen could only sustain itself for a few days with such feasting and drinking.

Moreover, part of the commune's grain needs to be handed over to the state.

Next year, we will even have to hand over a portion of it to repay our debt to the Soviet Union.

The more enjoyable they eat now, the more miserable they will be later.

In his previous life, Wang Jianjun heard his grandfather talk about the era of the communal dining system.

Food waste in the commune canteen was so serious that commune members even fed the uneaten food to livestock or simply threw it away.

Since everyone is wasting like this, why should I save?

But it is also a good thing that Jia Zhang returns to the countryside.

At least the yard will be a lot quieter without this troublemaker.

This idea was not only held by Wang Jianjun, but also by everyone in the hospital.

Even Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu thought so.

Jia Dongxu found that after his mother returned to the countryside, he could save a lot of his salary.

Qin Huairu felt even more relaxed.

In the past, not only did I have to serve the whole family with food and drink, but I was also bullied by my mother-in-law for no reason.

Although life is still hard now.

But it’s also much easier than before.

Banggeng is the only one in the whole hospital who misses his grandma very much.

He doesn't understand what a people's commune is.

All he knew was that Jia Zhang left him alone and went back to the countryside to enjoy a good life.

Bang Geng just wants meat and steamed buns.

After the Great Steelmaking Movement began, earthen iron-smelting furnaces were built everywhere in Beijing.

The subdistrict office encouraged everyone to collect wood and other materials for iron smelting.

Everyone in the city was going crazy, trying to help with steel production.

Every household is contributing, and it’s a huge effort.

That sound is very disturbing.

Another problem is that the air quality in the city has been greatly affected.

The air quality in Beijing was already not very good due to the large number of factories, and this has made the quality even worse.

If you don't wear a mask when you go out, your nose will be full of dust when you come back.

Watching a group of people working enthusiastically.

Wang Jianjun also felt a little uncomfortable.

It would be fine if what was produced was steel.

But these furnaces ultimately produced nothing more than a pile of unusable scrap metal.

Even if the people who come down to guide you are professionals.

But it is a bit wishful thinking to expect a group of uneducated people to master professional knowledge in just two days.

It was good enough for those peasants to melt the iron into a lump.

Wang Jianjun was too lazy to pay attention to this costly and laborious campaign.

During this period, apart from reporting to the factory to hand in tasks for work, he simply hid in Hong Kong for vacation and helped Shen Maiqiu manage his business.

The gangs in Tsim Sha Tsui have been crippled by him.

The three big gangs were ultimately unable to withstand Wang Jianjun's sickle of cutting leeks.

They fled to other places for development.

There is a rare bit of peace in the Tsim Sha Tsui area.

Those gang members also became obedient.

I’m afraid that I’ll cause trouble outside and then disappear inexplicably.

It turns out that these gangs are nothing but a cancer on society.

Without these gangs, Wang Jianjun's shop business is getting better and better.

With the help of Lui Lok, Wang Jianjun successfully bought a piece of land in Yau Ma Tei and started his journey as a real estate boss.

Of course, in order to get this piece of land, Wang Jianjun also gave Lu Le many gifts.

The total amount of money given away was 50,000.

Wang Jianjun didn't feel bad about it and just considered it as a bank deposit.
