Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 3, Keeper
Lu Xun once said that the two most important things in a person's life are actually three meals a day.

Zhao Mancang, who came out of No. 5 Yard in Yongheng Hutong, strolled in the narrow and dark alley, thinking a lot.

Although he traveled through time and space, and even God thoughtfully arranged a system for him, to be honest, he didn't really want to travel through time and space.

If he hadn't been diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer in his previous life.
From the light boat that had passed through thousands of mountains in the previous life to the unknown and turbulent future now, Zhao Mancang wanted to accept the fact of time travel all at once, but it was really difficult.

There is a saying that goes, "Make the best of it." However, it is easier to persuade others than to persuade yourself. After all, don't advise others to do good without experiencing their suffering.

But no matter what, since God has given him the chance to be reborn, he will enjoy it.

Therefore, the goal of this life is to lie down and do nothing intermittently, and to continuously live a life of idleness and waiting for death.

But before achieving this goal, he had to get a divorce first and get rid of the burden of the Huang family.

Just as he stepped out of the alley and happened to be standing under a street light, someone rushed towards him on the street ahead.

"Comrade Zhao Mancang, it's great that you're here. I was just looking for you."

The person who came was Li Baoguo, the captain of the security department of Beijing Iron and Steel Plant. Judging from his anxious expression, it seemed that something big had happened.

"Come back to the factory with me! The donkey is dying."

Li Baoguo was very strong. He pulled Zhao Mancang onto his bicycle without saying a word, and while explaining, he headed straight for the steel plant.

Before 1953, Zhao Mancang was just an employee of the pig farm. After 1953, it was merged into the Beijing Iron and Steel Plant.

Because he had been dealing with pigs, cattle, sheep and other poultry for many years, he performed well during the worker grading reform in 1955, so he was immediately classified as a fifth-level worker and became a breeder, one of the eight major members of that era.

My social status improved a lot in an instant.

So whenever there was any problem with the livestock in the steel plant, everyone would ask Zhao Mancang first, and this time was no exception.

Along the way, according to Li Baoguo, the donkey that just returned to the steel plant this evening had been pulling coal for seven days and seven nights and had not drunk enough water. It had just been fed a load of water and now showed symptoms such as vomiting and hair loss.

I've asked a doctor for help, but he can't do anything.

The donkey has always been taken care of by Zhao Mancang, so Li Baoguo and others wanted to see if Zhao Mancang had any other solutions.

In the 1950s, livestock, especially donkeys that could pull goods, were collective property and were very precious.

If Zhao Mancang is unable to do anything, then the doctor will have to issue a "killing permit".

Once the killing permit is signed, it means that the donkey can only be slaughtered and eaten for meat.

That would be a pity!

Li Baoguo was worthy of being the captain of the security department. He carried Zhao Mancang, an adult, on a 28-inch bicycle and ran nearly seven kilometers in just about fifteen minutes.

Under good road conditions, a healthy adult can ride seven kilometers in fifteen to twenty minutes.

And Li Baoguo was able to achieve an average cycling speed of 28 kilometers per hour while carrying Zhao Mancang, which is simply amazing.

After arriving at the steel plant, Li Baoguo and Zhao Mancang had just entered the breeding room when the people inside greeted them.

In addition to the two security staff members on duty patrol, there was also the doctor Yang Qingshan who was called over, and finally the breeder Peng Sixi who was on duty in the breeding room.

"Comrade Zhao Mancang, you're here just in time. Can you see if this donkey can be saved?"

Yang Qingshan frowned, and a flash of disgust appeared in his eyes.

As a doctor in the steel plant, he is not only responsible for treating the workers in the steel plant, but also needs to work part-time to treat the livestock in the breeding room.

In the 1950s, not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were not many cars, not even horse-drawn carriages or ox-drawn carts.

Bullock carts and horse-drawn carriages were relatively important means of transportation in this era. Steel mills were very dependent on these vehicles, and some coal or small amounts of steel were transported using bullock carts and horse-drawn carriages.

The reason why the breeder is one of the eight major members is because he has an unshakable position in logistics.

In addition, based on the above balanced concept of equality for all, the industry-specific titles of the eight major members were proposed.

Zhao Mancang squatted down calmly and carefully observed the situation of the donkey in front of him.

He didn't expect that he would be so unpopular.

Not to mention the ungrateful people in Huang Xiuling's family, Zhao Mancang couldn't understand why Dr. Yang Qingshan in front of him also hated him.

Ignoring the message that popped up from the system, Zhao Mancang wanted to shake his head after carefully observing the donkey.

As a person who is determined to live a life of idleness and wait for death, Zhao Mancang doesn't want to care about these things.

What's more, it is really difficult to save the donkey in front of us.

It was like a world of ice and fire. He was already very thin, and after pulling coal for seven days and seven nights, he was now barely hanging on.

But he soon frowned because the environment in front of him was really bad.

He really wanted to lie down and do nothing intermittently, and continue to live a life of idleness and waiting for death, but he also didn't want his working environment to be the cowshed and pigsty in front of him.

In the previous life, it was a high-end, super-A-class office building, but in this life it has become a smelly breeding room. The difference is too big.

How to change it?
There are two paths: one is to get promoted to become a leader, and the other is to find another office job.

However, in this era, neither of these two paths is so easy.

"So either you continue to endure this stinky work environment every day, or find another solution?"

Thinking of this, Zhao Mancang felt that he needed to rescue the donkey first. At least he had to let his superiors see his efforts.

In addition, the original owner was an honest man who loved his job as a breeder and took care of pigs, cows, donkeys and other poultry as seriously and diligently as he took care of his wife.

Therefore, Zhao Mancang cannot easily "give up" and rashly change his current personality.

"Captain Li, Doctor Yang, don't rush to kill it. I still want to save this donkey."

Hearing Zhao Mancang's words, Li Baoguo immediately smiled, but Yang Qingshan said directly:
"This donkey is in this state. There is no way to save it. I have no other choice."

"Doctor Yang, I know it's not easy to save it, but our factory is not well-off, so if we can avoid killing it, we'd better not."

After a pause, Zhao Mancang continued:

"I'll give it a try first. If it doesn't work, we'll see what happens later. Anyway, we'll give it a try."

"Then don't come to me again when the time comes. I'm very busy during this period."

Yang Qingshan warned, and Li Baoguo's face suddenly stiffened, because the former's words should be said to him.

Zhao Mancang nodded, told Peng Sixi to boil the medicine, and he also started to get busy.

During this process, several messages popped up on the system again, one of which caught his attention.
