Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 10, Unwilling
Because Wu Huamin had his back to Fan Zhigang, Xing Shuqi, Yang Shourong and others, he did not notice the arrival of the leader at all.

It wasn't until Yang Shourong's voice rang out that Wu Huamin froze.

Next, he was scolded by the deputy factory director Yang Shourong: Why don’t you let Zhao Mancang treat the donkey?
"Leader, look at this donkey's condition. Doctor Yang and Xu Fugui said it can't be saved. We've fed it a lot of medicine and rice soup since yesterday. What a waste!"

Wu Huamin quickly explained, and then muttered:
"The killing permit has been issued."

Yang Shourong's face suddenly turned cold, and he said sternly:
"Are you really that irresponsible? How much medicine and rice soup can a donkey consume? If this animal could be saved, do you know how much gasoline our factory could save?"

He knows nothing!
The steel plant has a lot of transportation tasks, whether it is transporting steel to its sister units or transporting coal, ore and other raw materials from outside, it needs the help of the transportation team.

The main force of the transport team is naturally the cars.

But donkeys, horses and cows cannot be ignored either, especially on some difficult mountain roads, livestock can be of great help.

Wu Huamin, who was timid and submissive, was scolded in the face by Yang Shourong, but he didn't dare to say a word.

"But speaking of which, Comrade Xiao Zhao, can you really cure this donkey?"

After glaring at Wu Huamin, Yang Shourong looked at Zhao Mancang with a "spring breeze" and asked.

"Leader, I can't guarantee it 100%, but I'm 90% sure I can cure this donkey."

After a pause, Zhao Mancang still said respectfully:

"This donkey looks miserable now, and it is indeed about to die, but I also encountered a similar situation before liberation. "

He really wasn't lying. Before liberation, the original owner was indeed a cowherd who often dealt with livestock. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been classified as a fifth-level worker in 1955.

What's more, he now has a system and has a better grasp of things.

However, you should not be too confident in front of your leader.

"Okay, Comrade Xiao Zhao has a very good ideological consciousness. Our steel plant needs good comrades like you. So please take good care of this donkey and try your best to save it."

Yang Shourong looked at Zhao Mancang approvingly, then glared at Wu Huamin: "Director Wu, you should have heard what I said just now. Cooperate well with Comrade Xiao Zhao, don't jump to conclusions casually, and learn to be frugal."

After scolding him a few more times, Yang Shourong left.

From beginning to end, Fan Zhigang, Xing Shuqi and Shen Zhongxin did not speak to Zhao Mancang and others.

After the leaders left, Wu Huamin saw Peng Sixi and the others looking in his direction, and he couldn't help but say in a domineering tone:

"What are you looking at? Have you fed the livestock? Has everything been cleaned?"

Intimidated by Director Wu Huamin's authority, Peng Sixi and the others immediately became like quails and lowered their heads to work.

"Mancang, since you promised the leader, then take good care of it."

After looking at Zhao Mancang, Wu Huamin said something expressionlessly, then turned and left.

The former nodded and said "hmm" without changing his expression, but he felt very helpless in his heart.

From the resentment experience points that popped up in the system, Zhao Mancang knew very well that Wu Huamin blamed him for everything that had just happened.

It was obvious that leaders like Yang Shourong were just visiting and happened to come to the breeding room.

Moreover, Zhao Mancang also had his back to the leaders at that time. How can we blame him?
But it is obvious that this matter cannot be explained clearly, and the hatred is really formed.

No matter how helpless you are, you should still do something first.

Zhao Mancang spent the rest of the afternoon busy making medicinal soup and rice soup for the donkey.

Medicine was a must, and rice soup was also necessary. After all, the donkey was very weak from walking a lot while pulling coal.

Without nutrition, the body will only become weaker and weaker.

During this process, Zhao Mancang fed the medicine produced by the system to the donkey.

At the same time, Peng Sixi and several other breeders and apprentices were watching from afar.

Seeing that Zhao Mancang's method of treating the donkey was to feed it medicine and rice soup, Peng Sixi and others grumbled in disdain.

"Fuck him, that's it, who wouldn't do that?"

"Aren't those the common cold medicines? I know the prescriptions by heart: Schizonepeta, Saposhnikovia, Asarum, Atractylodes, Angelica, Bupleurum, Notopterygium, Platycodon, Ginger, Poria, and Roasted Licorice."

"If the medicine plus rice soup can save the donkey, it would be a miracle."

Zhang Debao, Wang Shunfa, Zheng Damao and others were all very contemptuous and unwilling.

Obviously, Zhao Mancang is not much older than them, but they are either apprentices or first-level workers.

But Zhao Mancang received a monthly salary of fifty-four yuan and a dime.

Differs greatly!

In the 1950s, apprentices earned 18 yuan in the first year, 20 yuan in the second year, and 22 yuan in the third year.

After the three-year apprenticeship period, the apprenticeship salary will be implemented in the fourth year. Regardless of the type of work, the salary is twenty-seven yuan and fifty cents.

In the fifth year, grading began. Basically, they were all first-level workers, so the first-level salary was 32 yuan.

According to the wage standards for workers in six categories of regions, the wages of agricultural and animal husbandry workers vary from the first-level formal worker to the seventh level.

Like infrastructure workers, rice milling workers, sugar workers, liquor workers, beer workers, fruit wine workers, vermicelli workers, etc., agricultural and animal husbandry workers do not have an eighth-level salary.

In other words, there is no top-level worker like level eight!
Of course, breeders are one of the eight major members in the current society and it is a very sought-after job.

In other words, the salaries of people like Peng Sixi, Zheng Damao, Li Ziwen, and Zhang Debao will not be higher than 32 yuan.

Since Zhao Mancang did not have any very powerful exclusive technology, Peng Sixi and the others were certainly unwilling to accept this.

Why?
Xu Fugui rarely takes action, and when he does, he is secretive, fearing that the outcome will be "teaching the apprentice and starving the master."

Therefore, Zheng Damao, Zhang Debao, Peng Sixi and others wanted to replace Zhao Mancang.

Zhao Mancang was unaware of these malicious gazes. He was only paying attention to the donkey.

It was almost six o'clock in the afternoon when Zhao Mancang packed up and left work on time.

It is now mid-June, and there are still about eight or nine days before the end of the month when salaries and food coupons are paid.

Zhao Mancang still had five dollars and ten cents in his pocket, which should be enough to last until salary payment.

When it was time to get off work, Zhao Mancang followed the crowd of workers out of the factory.

The workers of this era have pale faces but are always smiling, and are full of expectations for the future.

"Oh, it would be nice to have a bicycle."

Seeing someone riding a bicycle, Zhao Mancang couldn't help but sigh, but soon he cursed himself: What happened to the promise of lying down and letting it go?

But, there are requirements for lying down and playing badly, right? You can't just make do with everything, right?
I have to walk more than ten kilometers every day to go to and from get off work. It’s scary to think about it!
