Chapter 293 Don’t you really want to find a man to accompany you?
Since the Central Committee issued the resolution "The whole party and the whole people strive to produce 1070 million tons of steel", all departments and localities have given top priority to steel production and construction to make way for the promotion of the "Steel Marshal".
The first secretaries of party committees at all levels take charge personally.
The Jiangcheng Municipal Committee established a general headquarters for steel production, with the municipal party secretary as commander-in-chief and a special office set up.
At the same time, all major banks were required to fully support the industrial "leap forward" and continuously increase investment in the production capacity of existing enterprises, resulting in a rapid expansion of the scale of capital construction and an increasingly long battle line.
The normal flow of funds of banks has been interrupted, and they need to rob Peter to pay Paul...
By the end of August, the national steel production was only 8 million tons. In order to complete the steelmaking task of 450 million tons, starting from September, all industrial enterprises worked hard and 1070 hours a day.
In an instant, all units were in an uproar.
Workers worked hard on the production line, production records were constantly broken, and high-yield "satellites" were released one after another.
In order to encourage the employees and prevent them from getting upset, publicity and reporting were carried out enthusiastically, and the unit even arranged for an art troupe to perform clapperboard and say all kinds of inspiring words.
The unit's managers are required to step out of their departments and go to the site to serve the production line.
For workshops, work groups and machines that exceed the plan, the unit leaders will personally come forward to send good news and give encouragement with drums and gongs, and a fierce competition among employees will develop.
In order to make it convenient for everyone to eat and save time, the cooking staff of the staff canteen will deliver meals to the workshop during the mid-shift or night shift.
Even on holidays, employees give up their days off and go to work in the factory.
The unit where Zhou Jiahua and Zhou Jiafu work is extremely busy. They often only sleep four or five hours a day and then go to the workshop to work overtime.
The two have been commended for their hard work and fearlessness of hardship, and have been promoted to deputy directors of the workshop.
With fewer people shopping, business at Zhou Rong's shop became even slower, and the profit targets set by the street office were often not met.
Fortunately, they were not the only shop. Eighty percent of the shops were unable to fulfill the task of doubling their profits as required by the street office. Zhou Rong and his friends became thick-skinned and didn't care...
People's communes were established in the suburbs starting from August. By mid-September, the suburbs had been transformed into people's communes, and a number of public canteens, nurseries, kindergartens, and welfare homes had been set up, all of which were free of charge.
Then, other parts of the city began to follow suit, and district governments were changed into communes.
The commune has three levels of management and accounting, namely, commune, branch, and management district.
The original street offices were changed into branches, with neighborhood committees or some large factories as management areas.
The communes in the city implemented collectivization of production and life, socialization of housework, and various welfare policies flourished.
Each commune has established its own school, hospital, cultural center, amateur drama troupe, public canteen, etc. Some communes have also established nursing homes so that childless elderly people can spend their twilight years in peace.
The neighborhood committee has also established a people's life service agency, which includes laundry, sewing, postal and telecommunications savings, housework, etc., and a network of service organizations is spread across every corner of the commune.
People widely sang: "Communism is heaven, and the people's commune is the bridge. After crossing the bridge, you will enter heaven and live a happy life forever."
In addition to nurseries and kindergartens, some communes have also built one-stop orphanages, which include large, medium and small classes, as well as breastfeeding classes, where children under the age of 7 can live in a group.
Now, not only industry and agriculture need to make great leaps forward, but education also needs to make great leaps forward. The five-year primary school system is being implemented, and the three-year system for junior and senior high schools will not change for the time being.
Da Wa and Zhou Jiaguang both skipped a grade and entered the third year of junior high school.
The Education Bureau has introduced a new policy. Starting from September, junior and senior high school students will need to transfer their household registration and food and oil relations. Even if they do not live in school, they must eat three meals a day at school.
Zhou Jiaguang and Dawa’s household registration and grain and oil relations were transferred to the school, and they only went home to sleep at night.
Zhou Rong has to go to work, but he also wants to cultivate his children's independence, so he lets Erwa and Nini go to the cafeteria to get their own lunch.
The public canteen in Chang'an was noisy every day. The two of them were not accompanied by an adult and often couldn't get a seat, so Nini simply took her second child to the nursery to eat.
Fortunately, the nursery is currently free, so no one said anything to them and even advised them to eat more so they can grow taller...
In order to show collective care and enable cadres to get rid of tedious housework and devote themselves to work without worries, a certain unit established a cadre "apartment" with a dedicated person to take care of all housework.
Every day when I get home from get off work, the thermos in the room is filled with boiling water; when I want to take a shower, the public bathroom has hot water ready.
If you want to change into clean clothes, just put the dirty clothes on the bed at night. The waiter will wash them and return them the next day. You can just reach out and get them at the head of the bed.
Whatever you need to do, just write it on a small blackboard and someone will do it for you.
There is someone to take care of everything, such as mending clothes, picking up and dropping off children, and buying groceries.
A small public canteen is also set up in the apartment. Meals are delivered by the office canteen, and dishes are cooked by the canteen to cater to everyone's different tastes.
When Zhou Rong learned from Xu Man about the existence of this "apartment", his expression of envy was beyond words.
Xu Man joked, "I heard there are a lot of bachelors in that apartment. Do you want me to find someone to help you find someone? With your looks and talent, everyone will definitely be vying to marry you, and then you can move in right away."
Zhou Rong: "Younger people won't consider me, and older people are still single. Either the person has a problem or there is something wrong with their family. How can I be so depressed that I would suffer so much?"
Xu Man chuckled: "You always think about things comprehensively and calmly. Don't you really want to find a man to accompany you? It's okay to relieve your boredom!"
Zhou Rong: "You just need District Chief Wang to entertain you. You don't have to worry about me. Let's go. The canteen is about to open for dinner. Let's go see what delicious dishes are available today. If you are not satisfied, change the canteen quickly to avoid going too late and having the food taken away by everyone."
Xu Man: "Okay."
In the area where Zhou Rong is located, there are more than 60 canteens of various sizes.
The expenses required for public canteens and various welfare projects are currently all subsidized by the communes and branches.
The source of subsidy funds comes almost entirely from various enterprises within the jurisdiction.
The communes and branches implemented the policy of "unified management and shared profits and losses" for enterprises. In addition to paying income tax to the state, all enterprises had to hand over most or even all of their remaining profits to the state. Some companies paid 70-80%, while others required 100% or 90%.
Because it is a new policy, everyone is currently supportive.
In order to comply with the organization's policy, Xu Man closed the small kitchen behind the clothing store and asked all the employees to eat in the cafeteria.
The shop assistants are also happy to go to the cafeteria, where the food is comparable to that during the Chinese New Year!
