"Leader, could you please tell the factory not to talk about me at the meeting anymore?"
In Li Xuewu's office, Zhou Yao stood shyly in front of the desk and pleaded, "Tell me about someone else."
"What? You don't want to be regarded as an excellent example and a benchmark?" Li Xuewu smiled and glanced at her, saying, "Do you know how many people are vying for it?"
"Also, how do you want me to tell the factory?" He signed a document and joked, "Should I tell Deputy Director Gu and Director Zigui that our Zhou Yao is shy and can't say anything or praise her?"
"Oh my God - Leader -"
Zhou Yao said angrily: "Now when I go out, they point fingers at me. Listening to their whispers makes me feel uncomfortable all over."
"Being treated as such a role model really puts me under a lot of pressure. I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it and will ruin the factory."
She took the initiative to refill Li Xuewu's cup of hot water and said with a flattering smile: "Please ask the factory to talk more about Liu Jun and others. My classmates are doing very well."
"Don't be so ungrateful for what you have!"
Li Xuewu glanced at her and said, "Do you think that you can establish or replace anyone as a role model? Is it that the role model is worthless, or is it that you are worthless?"
"That's not what I meant, Leader—"
Zhou Yao wanted to say something else when Peng Xiaoli walked in holding a document.
"Hey, Chief Zhou, what are you doing?"
Peng Xiaoli saw Zhou Yao standing in front of the leader's desk as if she had made a mistake, but looking at the leader's expression it didn't seem like that was the case.
He jokingly said, "The leader returned your file? How come I didn't know?"
"It just so happens that Peng Xiaoli is here. Ask him if he wants this opportunity?"
Li Xuewu picked up the teacup and took a sip, then raised his chin to signal her and said, "Deputy Secretary Gu was not exaggerating. Why should you be shy or care about it?"
"Is it about the college student allocation meeting?"
Peng Xiaoli was obedient and now understood what was said. He smiled and said, "The meeting documents have also been conveyed to the security team."
He looked at Zhou Yao enviously and said, "Oh, we were just talking about this this morning. We finally have a second person in our security team who is both civil and military."
He was talking about the second one. There was no need to mention who the first one was. He was sitting with him drinking tea.
"Okay, stop being pretentious. This is a difficult thing for you!" Li Xuewu put down the teacup and said, "Deputy Secretary Gu talked about your advanced deeds to encourage them to take root at the grassroots level, work hard and cherish opportunities."
“We’re just getting started now!”
Peng Xiaoli smiled and reminded Zhou Yao: "Haven't you heard that you will be introduced as an advanced model in the factory newspaper next week?"
"I've seen the title, 'The Growth Story of the Security Section Chief'!"
"Who wrote this article? What a stupid name!"
Li Xuewu suggested with a smile: "We should write 'Women are as good as men, and beauties are better than men'!"
"Just laugh at me! I'm leaving now!"
Zhou Yao pouted, said something coquettishly, and turned away. She knew that she would not get a satisfactory answer from her leader.
Peng Xiaoli watched her leave with a smile, then handed the document in his hand to Li Xuewu and reported: "Leader, your email has arrived."
While Li Xuewu was checking the documents, he whispered, "It came from Tianjin via United Trade Logistics, it's a large item."
"Well, I asked someone to buy it. I told Jiankun to send it to my home for me."
Li Xuewu signed his name on the document, pointed at it and instructed: "Please ask the dispatcher how the freight is calculated."
"Leader, this... is the postage still included?" Peng Xiaoli hesitated and said: "The dispatch is also received according to the joint trade documents."
"It counts, it must count," Li Xuewu said firmly: "I don't care about others, we are a supervisory unit and we can't start this."
Li Xuewu pushed the file to him and said, "If I dare to take advantage of a small advantage of a dozen yuan today, someone else will dare to take advantage of dozens or hundreds of yuan tomorrow. How can I monitor him then?"
"Yes! I'll take care of it right away!"
Peng Xiaoli nodded seriously, took the document and went out. He had to insist on doing what his leader asked him to do.
This is not the first time that Li Xuewu has insisted on his principles and refused to take advantage of the public.
There were several times when Li Xuewu took him out on field trips and he didn't come back in time for mealtime, so he had to eat outside.
Other leaders will basically ask the hotel for receipts and then write them off as travel expenses when they come back.
But Li Xuewu never wrote off this part of the expenses, including the consumables and materials in the office, many of which he brought from home.
Everyone knew that there was good tea in his office, and they actually thought that Li Xuewu bought it with public funds for his own entertainment. In fact, it was all from his home.
Peng Xiaoli was in charge of these things, how could he not know? Even after his leader quit smoking, he often stole cigarettes from here.
He has been working at the Red Star Factory for three or four years, and he is considered a veteran in the organization.
But one by one, among all the leaders he had met, he had never met one who was as principled as he was.
What is commendable is that Li Xuewu is strict with himself and lenient with others.
He was strict with himself but very lenient towards his subordinates. It was almost impossible to see him scolding or scolding anyone, especially after he took charge of the overall work of the security team, it was even more difficult to see him lose his temper.
Sometimes when the security team members encounter difficulties, even if they can't find him, as long as they hear about it, they will take care of them within a reasonable range.
The last time Ge Shuqin came here to work, he had coordinated to transfer her from logistics to the duty room. This not only made it more convenient for her to take care of the children, but also was a form of care for herself.
The steel rolling mill has its own internal telephone communication system and its own communications team.
Each department has a contact number and a duty number to prevent problems from arising and there being no communication and delivery channels.
The security team’s duty phone number is open to the public. Unless you call the office or a leader directly, the call will basically be directed to the duty room.
The duty room will transfer the call to the corresponding department based on the caller's needs and identity.
In fact, this job is somewhat boring and tedious, especially since you cannot leave your post without permission. Being drunk on the job, sleeping on the job, and leaving your post are serious problems.
Li Xuewu is a responsible leader who knows every department well, especially key positions, and he must put reliable people in them.
The factory seemed to see that the security team didn't make any major moves after he took over from Dong Wenxue.
However, the security team knows that not only are the departmental powers changing and the work system being reformed, but the personnel are also frequently changing.
Of course, it is not a transfer of clerks from one department to another, but a serious transfer of management personnel.
Those who are capable will be promoted, and those who are not will be demoted. Those with problems will be gradually eliminated and cleared out of the organization. Even if they are sent to the front line, they will only be assigned to insignificant positions in the margins and it will be difficult for them to make a breakthrough.
For Li Xuewu, there are two particularly serious red lines in principle, and crossing them means death.
One is gambling, the other is cigarettes.
Gambling doesn't mean you can't play poker or mahjong for entertainment. A little gambling is fun and you can spend an entire afternoon on a few cents. He doesn't even bother to watch it.
But when you are used, they will definitely not reuse you, because if you don’t use your time for gambling to study and work, it means you have no sense of responsibility.
Of course, the cigarettes I'm talking about are not cigarettes like Daqianmen, but fire cigarettes, cigarette gourds, and other addictive things. These things still exist today.
Opium, which was banned earlier, is always circulated secretly as a medicine for treating diarrhea, and some law-abiding people even grow this stuff themselves.
What to do?
One is smoking, the other is eating.
Of course, you are not smoking the paste cut from the tobacco stem, but the seeds in the tobacco gourd.
Everyone knows that the paste is harmful and highly toxic and it is difficult to quit. However, they don’t know that the seeds are also highly toxic and that something bad will happen sooner or later.
The seeds are crushed and mixed into tobacco leaves. Old farmers or people who do manual labor may think that smoking will give them more energy while working, but they have no idea how serious the harm is.
Some city government officials feel that writing documents and doing copywriting work is tiring and that their brains are not enough, so they use the local methods they brought from the countryside.
You don’t eat it directly, but use it as a condiment. Put a few grains of it when stewing or marinating meat, and it tastes delicious.
How could it not smell good? It smells so good!
Why does Li Xuewu know this? Because Li Shun has treated these sequelae many times.
You see the old lady smoking a pipe, but she would never touch this stuff. In the past, there were many people who ruined their families because of pipes.
No matter how big the mansion is, it can collapse at any time. In less than three years, the family will be destroyed and everyone will die.
Li Xuewu has had this awareness since he was a child, and the Li family has never touched these two things.
When it comes to family traditions, the Li family is first-rate, except when it comes to Li Xuewu. Li Shun can only be said to be young and naive, and having many objects does not count as lust.
Li Xuewu really didn't take dating seriously. Even if there were some boys who were naughty and liked to make trouble and play, he would still enjoy it.
But if he really knew that someone had touched his bottom line, he would definitely get out.
-
When I got home from get off work in the evening, as soon as I entered the yard, I heard Li Shu's chirping voice coming from the hallway, like a swallow in spring.
"Come on, don't be polite." Li Xuewu smiled and let Liu Haizhong who followed him in, and said, "We are at our house now, it's the same as in the yard."
"Hey, hey!" Liu Haizhong, carrying a tool bag on his back, looked at the small courtyard of the Western-style house. He couldn't help feeling nervous and was cautious in every way.
"It's his second uncle who's here, why doesn't he come into the house?"
Liu Yin was coaxing her grandson when she heard some noise in the yard and stood at the door to look. She saw Liu Haizhong standing there stiffly.
There were a lot of wooden boxes piled up in the hallway. They were refrigerators that Li Xuewu asked Ji Weidong to buy for him from Gangcheng.
Someone asked, how big is the refrigerator with so many boxes? It must be a cold storage!
Of course not. Li Xuewu asked Ji Weidong to buy a refrigerator, but this guy ended up making a large purchase of electrical appliances for him.
You say he is a bad person, but he doesn't dare to buy it for his own family, let alone let his mother-in-law use it, for fear that they will show off and cause trouble.
But he was not afraid of anything happening to Li Xuewu, so he not only bought a refrigerator, a washing machine, a television, and a stereo, but he even bought an air conditioner!
When he saw the list in the office, he couldn't help but frown. What could be going on?
This bastard has already been mailed to my home, how can he still have it shipped back by ship?
Just by looking at how Peng Xiaoli handled it carefully behind others' back, one could tell that he didn't open the box, let alone let outsiders know. Li Xuewu was even less willing to make it public.
It was different from the last time when the Japanese businessmen gave them home appliances as a gift. That time, they were given to the public, and he didn't feel sorry about giving them away even if he didn't want to accept them.
This time is different, this time he is spending his money, Ji Weidong must be secretly happy!
"I'm here to help install the air conditioner."
When Liu Haizhong saw Liu Yinke here, she was in a completely different mood from when he met her in the courtyard. Even the tone of his voice became much more careful.
In the courtyard, the Li family did not put on airs or show off their power, so no one really cared about the Li family.
But it’s different here. Not to mention the exquisite courtyard and independent house, even if you stand in the courtyard and look into the entrance hall, you can feel the luxurious atmosphere.
In the Siheyuan, Liu Yin is Li Shun’s daughter-in-law, but here, Liu Yin is Deputy Director Li’s mother, how can they be the same!
"You're welcome, come in and have a drink of water."
Li Xuewu smiled and gave way to him, saying: "I don't understand this. Let Jiankun help you later. He knows where all the tools in the house are."
"Okay, I've got them all." Liu Haizhong still didn't dare to step into the house. He just looked at the boxes over there and said, "Whatever you need to install, I'll install it for you."
"Uncle, why are you so polite? Put down your bag first and go inside to have a glass of water!"
Liu Yin would never let the old neighbors come to her son's house and have the impression that she didn't recognize them.
What's more, my son hired the people to help install the electrical appliances, so I couldn't let him down.
She believed that with Liu Haizhong's intelligence, he would never tell anyone in the hospital about what happened here.
However, if they open up to their family one day and tell them about the humiliation they suffer here, the neighbors will definitely poke holes in the Li family's spine.
Li Xuewu thought so too. The only person who understood the installation of air conditioners and knew everything about it was Liu Haizhong. He was on duty on the last air-conditioned train.
So before leaving get off work, he asked Peng Xiaoli to ask him for help, and after get off work, he took him home in his car.
Washing machines, refrigerators, stereos and the like are easy to install, it just takes some effort and time.
But TV and air conditioning are troublesome.
The most important thing for a TV is to have an antenna installed. And that show-off Ji Weidong bought him a color TV. Don’t you think it’s a big deal?
I looked all over Beijing for signals, but they were all black and white. Color signals had to wait until the 1970s.
What? Wait until the 1970s to use it directly?
Stop joking. By the time color signals were available, Gangcheng Electronics Factory would have already produced excellent televisions. Ji Weidong bought this thing purely to tease him.
The air conditioner is different from the integrated type used in the factory reception, and is divided into indoor and outdoor units.
Ji Weidong bought him three air conditioners for this big house. Do you think he can use them?
That is, before getting married, I cleaned the house and asked Master Dou to replace all the electrical wires with copper wires.
If they used the aluminum wire that is popular now, with the amount of electricity their family uses, there would definitely be a fire every three days and a power outage every two days.
Liu Haizhong didn't recognize the foreign numbers on the packing boxes, and he walked into the house embarrassedly at the invitation of Liu Yin and Li Xuewu.
When I saw the furniture in the house, I felt that it was completely different from my own home.
He had been to many leaders' homes to help out, but had never seen such a grand arrangement.
It’s not that the furniture and furnishings in Li Xuewu’s house are so expensive and precious.
Rather, it is this kind of layout style that makes people feel high-end and tasteful.
Especially, there are green plants in appropriate corners of the house and a goldfish pond at the door. It is really smooth and luxurious.
"The second uncle is here, I'll pour you some water"
Qin Jingru came out of the kitchen and greeted Liu Haizhong as Aunt Liu said.
When she lived in the courtyard, she had no hatred or awkwardness with the Liu family, and there was nothing wrong even between the young people.
So when he saw him coming, and since he was invited by Li Xuewu to help, he greeted him with a smile.
Liu Haizhong knew that Qin Jingru was helping out at Li Xuewu's house, but he rarely saw her.
Firstly, Qin Jingru seldom went to the Siheyuan, and secondly, if they went back, the two of them would not be able to catch up.
But seeing that Qin Jingru has become more and more beautiful and generous, he secretly regrets that if he had been cruel enough to arrange a marriage for his son, wouldn't he have settled down?
"Okay, thank you Jingru!"
Liu Hai was thinking in his heart, but he was very polite in his words. He didn't dare to sit down on the sofa. He took the teacup with both hands and sat there, feeling very awkward.
Li Xuewu handed the handbag to Qin Jingru, changed into slippers at the door, said a few words to her, and asked her to prepare two more dishes.
When Han Jiankun came in, he arranged: "Help the second uncle and discuss how to place the air conditioner."
After hearing what his leader said, Han Jiankun understood that he didn't want to make it public.
He first smiled and nodded to Liu Haizhong, then whispered to Li Xuewu: "I took a look when I came back in the afternoon, and the side yard is more convenient."
"You decide. As for how to install it, you can discuss it with the second uncle."
Li Xuewu looked at Liu Haizhong who had already stood up and said, "You have worked so hard."
"It's not hard, it's not hard, it's nothing." Liu Haizhong put down a sip of tea and gestured to the door, "Let's start while it's still daylight."
He followed Han Jiankun out and happened to meet Gu Ning who was getting off work. Han Jiankun greeted him and he followed suit and greeted him as well.
Gu Ning looked at him with some surprise, and heard him follow Han Jiankun in calling him Doctor Gu. He nodded and said, "Second Uncle, you are here."
"The electrical appliances that I asked Ji Weidong to buy have arrived. Jiankun can't install them alone, so he asked the second uncle to come and help."
Li Xuewu stood at the door and explained to Gu Ning: "I think it's better to ask the people in our courtyard for help than to ask anyone else for help."
"Yes, yes, I should, hehe~"
Even Qin Jingru is rarely seen in Liu Haizhong, let alone Gu Ning. All we know is that she is the daughter of a big leader and is very noble.
Now this person actually called him "Second Uncle" without any introduction from Li Xuewu or Liu Yin, which made him feel very honored.
Liu Yin, holding the child, stood aside and praised Liu Haizhong a few words, which made the old neighbor feel very proud.
Perhaps it was because installing air conditioners and home appliances was his area of expertise, so he gained confidence and spoke more freely.
Li Xuewu didn't watch them, but he didn't go upstairs to read either. Instead, he just sat downstairs.
He has a lot of academic homework piled up recently and needs to finish it quickly.
Although the professors would not criticize him, he himself could not get over the problem of laziness.
Gu Ning just said hello and went upstairs, and Liu Yin followed him, coaxing the child.
Qin Jingru asked Li Shu to go into the house and play, but the little girl was very curious and followed Han Jiankun and watched them busying themselves.
First, we unpacked the boxes. They were all wooden boxes, tightly sealed and filled with rags, so there was no bumps at all.
Two people, each holding a claw hammer, took a lot of time just to remove the nails, both prying and hammering.
After all the electrical appliances were disassembled and placed in the foyer and yard, the packing boxes were packed away to make room for installation.
Even the furnishings in the house need to be moved to make room for the air conditioner.
The washing machine was moved to the bathroom on the first floor, connected to the water inlet and outlet, and plugged in for use.
Qin Jingru was afraid that Li Shu would get bumped while they were moving the things, so she held her in her arms and watched together.
Hearing the washing machine humming, she smiled and said, "This noise is much quieter than the ones in the mall!"
She followed her cousin to a large shopping mall and saw this kind of washing machine, but it was too expensive for her to buy. She only saw the salesperson demonstrating it.
There were a lot of people in the mall at that time, and the noise couldn't cover up the sound of the washing machines, which sounded like a tractor.
Although the machine in front of me also has sound, it is not that loud. When the bathroom door is closed, the sound can hardly be heard.
When she saw Han Jiankun and the other man move the refrigerator into the restaurant and connect it to the power supply, she was even happier because this thing was for her to use.
Nothing else, everything in the kitchen is her tool, including this refrigerator.
Even though Li Xuewu's original intention in asking Ji Weidong to buy a refrigerator was to store milk for his son.
Because the TV and speakers needed to be moved to the furniture, there was no rush to install them, so they focused on the air conditioning first.
Only at this time did Qin Jingru dare to push the naughty Li Shu next to Li Xuewu and told her that if she dared to run around, she would tell her mother later.
Li Shu was afraid of this trick of hers, especially when Gu Ning was at home, she would never dare to resist.
But she didn't dare to make trouble for her father who was reading a book. Her grandmother had told her that she couldn't make noise or make trouble when her father was working.
So she could only sit on the sofa and crane her neck to look outside, watching Uncle Han and the other man busying themselves.
From threading pipes, determining positions, drilling holes, to installation and debugging of the three air conditioners, we were busy until dark.
Qin Jingru had prepared everything and was just waiting for them to finish cooking.
We have to say that Han Jiankun is strong and Liu Haizhong has good skills. They finished the work outside at around 7:30.
Not only the air conditioner, but even the TV antenna was installed. Both of them worked very efficiently and did not need help from Li Xuewu, who was idle in the living room.
When the two entered the house, only the TV and stereo were left.
Qin Jingru told her that she was going to cook, and asked them to hurry up, wash their hands and eat after they were done, otherwise they would be busy until midnight.
The TV was easy to deal with. It was placed on the low cabinet opposite the sofa. The 17-inch TV looked particularly large, of course compared to the TVs of that time.
The sound system was a bit troublesome, but the second uncle did know a little about sound arrangement. He had done a lot of private work and had learned some skills.
After trying several suitable locations, I finally installed the speakers and ran the wires to connect them to the back of the TV and radio.
It’s a very cleverly designed switch. When you want to listen to TV, you can turn on the TV. When you want to listen to the radio, you can listen to the radio.
Qin Jingru's dishes were already out of the pot, but they were still busy, and she urged them to finish quickly.
When Liu Haizhong saw that the meal was ready, he picked up his tool bag and was about to leave. When he helped his leader at home, he never left any meal for him.
"Uncle, please don't hit me in the face"
Li Xuewu stood up with a smile and chased after him, grabbed his arm and said, "Hurry up, put down the bag, you can't leave."
"Wash your hands and come to the table to eat. You've worked hard today. Jiankun, let's eat together. I have some good wine."
"Deputy Director Li, I'm covered in dirt. Let's wait and see. We'll talk about it then."
Liu Haizhong said embarrassedly: "I didn't help much, I'll go back now."
"Uncle, what are you doing?"
Liu Yin heard the noise downstairs and came down from upstairs. She called out to Liu Haizhong and said, "Stop tearing it. Hurry up, we're at my house!"
Liu Haizhong had the bag on his shoulder snatched away by Li Xuewu, and he had no choice but to smile and go to the bathroom with Han Jiankun.
When Qin Jingru waited for them to come to the table, she brought the dishes out from the kitchen.
The Li family does not have those old rules, and Liu Haizhong is not a special guest.
So wine and food were placed on the table, and Gu Ning and Li Shu also sat at the table.
If it were in other families today, the men would eat at the main table, and only when the men had finished eating would it be the women and children's turn to eat.
This phenomenon still existed even in the 1990s.
Although the courtyard houses are not so backward, women and children will not eat at the same table with the guests.
Most people prepare a table by themselves, or eat by the stove.
Don’t look for dishes that are the same as those on the reception table.
The Li family is more open-minded. The dishes on the table for women and children are more or less the same, and they are on different tables to show the family style.
"The wine in our house was brought back from outside the Great Wall by Biaozi and his friends. I rarely drink it myself."
Li Xuewu didn't let Qin Jingru get the bottled wine from the cabinet. He felt uncomfortable drinking it when he thought of Liu Haizhong, so it would be better to have something real.
Ask Qin Jingru to prepare two main dishes, real main dishes, not just a few pieces of meat hidden in a plate of green vegetables.
Roasted pork, stewed fish, mapo tofu, shredded potatoes, roasted eggplant, and a dish of lamb stewed with radish, with a lot of soup.
Just this table alone would be enough for celebrating the New Year or entertaining distinguished guests in any home.
When Liu Haizhong saw Li Xuewu holding the wine jug to pour wine for him, he quickly stood up and tried to be polite, but was pushed down by Li Xuewu with a smile.
Seeing that he was uncomfortable, Han Jiankun took the wine jug and filled it for him and Li Xuewu, and poured himself a glass.
"You drink yours and don't mind us." Liu Yin fed Li Shu while greeting Liu Haizhong with a smile, "If you continue to pretend here, I will really not treat us as your neighbors."
Liu Haizhong looked at Li Xuewu and called him "Second Uncle". This first glass of wine was also a toast to him. All the resentment in his heart disappeared.
Who else can I blame? I can only blame myself for being a bastard and my sons for not living up to my expectations.
The only person worth mentioning is probably the third child in the family. He was sent in by Li Xuewu himself, and he knows how much suffering he suffered in there.
At that time, I hated Li Xuewu, but a year passed and I heard that someone died today and someone was exiled to the northwest tomorrow.
Many of the young people in the neighborhood are gone. No one knows where they went, and their families don’t know whether they are dead or alive.
If Liu Guangfu of their family had been as naughty as he was in the past, he would have been disabled if not dead, and would have brought disaster to his family.
At least now he can be sure where his son is and whether he is safe.
None of this is important. What is important is Liu Guangfu’s growth in there, which was a surprise to him, especially the last few times he visited his son.
He could clearly feel that the third child in the family was different.
"Guang Tian received a reply, saying that he has become the squad leader, hehehe——".
When he heard Li Xuewu asking about his second son Liu Guangtian, he also felt proud.
In order to prevent his son from going to the Northeast, he found Li Xuewu and tried to stop him.
But Li Xuewu told him that his household registration would not be changed, he would just go there to work, and he would still have holidays and commuter trains, so what else did he want?
Even if he stayed in Beijing, he would have to move when the steel mill relocated three years later. He would have missed out on three years of development in the steel city.
It was newly established and needs young people to work hard and hone their skills. It is also a good time to make a name for themselves.
Now that Liu Haizhong knew about it, his second son, who was the class monitor, immediately wrote to him to tell him the good news.
"I will be going through the new identity formalities on the 10th of next month and have the penalty order lifted. I confirmed this with the Personnel Department a few days ago."
Once Liu Haizhong started talking, he couldn't stop, accompanied by good wine and delicious food.
He had nothing to hide from Li Xuewu, and there was no need to feel embarrassed, because Li Xuewu knew the situation.
"They said there would be a re-evaluation and re-assignment of positions and grades, but I don't care."
He took a sip of wine, pursed his lips and said: "As long as my identity is restored, I won't starve to death on the day I retire."
"Are there any difficulties?" Li Xuewu took a bite of the dish, looked at him and asked, "I hope the HR department won't make it difficult for you regarding the conditions."
"No, I have the documents from the Security Department, and no one has ever bothered me."
When Liu Haizhong talked about this incident, he seemed calm and relieved: "To be honest, it was just that I was confused, haha."
"Everyone makes mistakes, but as long as you decide to change, there will always be a chance."
Li Xuewu toasted him and nodded, saying: "You are an old technician. The factory will not forget you, nor will your craftsmanship be wasted."
"Hey~ I don't want to think about those things anymore." Liu Haizhong smiled and said after drinking the wine: "Whatever amount I can get is considered as the organization taking care of me. They haven't abandoned me."
"If it's really like what happened to our Guangfu, my life will be over and my children will be implicated as well!"
He shook his head slightly and said: "The last time we met, my third brother told me that I must study hard and be a good person."
"It seems that I sent him in, and he didn't hate me, hehe——"
Li Xuewu smiled and said: "I have seen him several times, always going to a prison to do some business. I heard that he performed very well."
"What's there to be angry about? He brought this upon himself!" Liu Haizhong nodded and said, "The kid from the Sun family in the front yard is just like Guangfu. Guess what happened to him a few days ago?"
"The eldest son of the Sun Deli family?"
Liu Yin then asked, "Is it the pretty one?"
"That's him! He's the best-looking and most handsome guy on this street!"
Liu Haizhong pursed his lips and shook his head slightly, saying: "I followed others to fight, and when they carried me back, I was stiff, and I almost cried to death."
"And in Dutou Courtyard, there's the second kid from Lu Zhanfu's family. He's in the same class with Guangfu. They play together every day and even made trouble together last year!"
He pouted and indicated, "He was lucky. He survived, but he can't stand up on his legs. He is disabled for life. He's only sixteen years old!"
When he talked about it, he shook his head and sighed: "You sent him in early. If it was later, I would have been the old man sending off the young, and I wouldn't even be able to cry."
“It’s coming out next month, right?”
Li Xuewu accompanied him and had another drink. Han Jiankun only drank one glass because he had to drive. After dinner, he went to coax Li Shu.
He looked at Liu Haizhong and said, "The last time I saw him in a prison, I asked him when he would be released. It seemed like next month."
"Yes, next month!"
Liu Haizhong nodded and said, "He has learned his lesson this time, and I don't have to beat him to make him behave."
"It's good to be out. As long as you have a desire to learn well, you will be successful in anything you do."
Li Xuewu took a bite of the dish and signaled Gu Ning and the others to leave the table and go do their own things after they had finished eating.
"First find a class to attend, or do something on your own, so you can make a living. Then find a partner and get married, and live together with you two. You will always have a good life."
"Yes, I think so too."
Liu Haizhong nodded and said, "Yu Shui brought his girlfriend home the day before yesterday. The neighbors all thought she was curious about him. I think he is a good match."
"Really? Rainwater has a partner now. That's great!"
Liu Yin was also happy when she heard the good news in the courtyard and said, "Her brother is almost worried to death."
"He works in their textile factory. I heard he's a cadre. He has good conditions and looks decent. I don't know anything about his family."
Liu Haizhong didn't drink much, but he felt very comfortable. At the moment, he was just a member of the Li family, so he didn't stretch it anymore.
"But I think, based on the rain conditions and her brother's ability, it can't be wrong, absolutely not wrong."
"It's a good thing, she's going to be a big problem!"
Li Xuewu smiled and nodded, saying: "If she doesn't find a partner soon, her brother will go to the streets with a rope and tie one up."
“Hahaha!” Liu Haizhong laughed and said, “Shazhu has the intention, absolutely!”
After laughing, he talked about his family again: "I don't care about the eldest brother, whether he is good or bad, it's up to him."
"I don't need to take care of the second one anymore. He's grown up and is capable. He said he has a girlfriend in a factory in Northeast China and I want to bring her back during the National Day."
"Oh, this is another good thing!"
Liu Yin smiled and said: "His second aunt must be very happy that her daughter-in-law is coming to visit."
"I've been talking about it, saying that we should make preparations. We can't embarrass our daughter-in-law."
Liu Haizhong smiled and said: "This is all our family's financial resources. If they want to settle down in the Northeast, we will support them in part."
"If we want to settle down at home, we have to wait for the factory to allocate houses, or exchange our current house for one."
He looked at Li Xuewu and said, "I've thought about it. I'll give the second child a set, and your second aunt and I will have to live with the third child!"
"That's right, Guangfu is not a bad boy"
Liu Yin nodded and said: "When the time comes, pick a good wife with a good personality, and you will have a good life while working."
"Oh, that's what I think. Who am I living for?"
Liu Haizhong raised his hand to wipe his face, not sure if it was sweat or tears. He pursed his lips and said, "It's hard to find a job nowadays, so let the third child learn to do it first, and I'll take care of him."
"When I retire one day, I will leave this opportunity to him and let him take over."
At this point, he looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "It is said that the factory is going to make changes in this area and arrange new policies, right?"
"It is possible that new measures will be introduced to place employees' children in employment."
Li Xuewu explained: "You may know that the construction project of the new steel rolling mill has been approved, and the foundation has begun in the Northeast."
"The machinery and equipment in the new factory are completely new and of high standards, and require higher quality from the workers who operate the machinery."
"Therefore, it is highly likely that new workers are recruited directly from schools rather than absorbed from the society, unless there are special circumstances."
"Well - let's take it one step at a time."
Liu Haizhong was a little discouraged when he heard this. All the children of factory employees who were of appropriate age had received notifications this year.
A unified examination will be organized in June, and those who meet the admission standards can enter junior high school, high school, technical secondary school and vocational college to continue their studies.
The children of employees who did not enter the factory in previous batches now have another chance, which is to go to school and take the campus recruitment route.
The factory has made it clear that there will absolutely be no more cases of children replacing parents to work in the factory, and all children will be trained from school.
The children of employees must go to school. If the school run by their own factory cannot even provide them with a complete secondary technical school, then they'd better get out as soon as possible. Employees will not have the face to ask the factory for resettlement.
But a case like Liu Guangfu is troublesome because he has been in prison and is not within the scope of the school's inspection.
Even if he registered, even if his student record was re-established at the new school of the steel rolling mill, his household registration would still have the seal from the prison.
How can I get admission to school if I can’t even pass the third review, let alone enter the factory?
Li Xuewu saw that he looked depressed, raised his glass to toast him and said: "You have to believe in Guangfu, and you have to believe in yourself."
"Think about it, Yan Jiefang can support himself and provide a good life for Ge Shuqin and her mother. How can a young man like Liu Guangfu worry about his life?"
"Yes, you are right!"
Liu Haizhong listened to his words and nodded, and said: "Yan Jiefang is growing up fast, and he no longer looks down on people like before."
He shook his head and smiled and said, "When he saw me, he still remembered to call me Second Uncle and greeted me proactively."
"As long as he is exposed to society, he will grow up quickly," Li Xuewu said, "It's better than torturing his father at home."
"Stop talking. Old Yan is tough enough. If it were me, I would have been crushed long ago!"
He shook his head slightly and said: "I have to say that Yan Jiefang is a responsible guy, whether it is moving out of his home or starting a fire on his own."
"If he hadn't spoken up for the mother and daughter at home, Yan Jiecheng would not have been able to keep the child, and Ge Shuqin would have had to run away if she didn't die."
"Alas, there is no point wasting time on good days!"
Liu Yin sighed and didn't know who she was talking about, but Liu Haizhong knew that she was talking about Yan Jiefang's mother.
Yan Fugui has stopped making trouble. Now that she has become more capable, she has been clamoring to separate from Yan Jiefang. Now, they have really separated the family property.
"That guy was really tough. He took the household registration booklet and chopped it in half on the street!"
Liu Haizhong nodded and said: "Not only has the marriage certificate been obtained, but I also have my own grain book and non-staple food book."
He raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't go back for the next while. Their family is very busy and noisy in the courtyard!"
"Go ahead and make a fuss. If one more person gets away, their family will be wiped out!"
Good brothers and sisters, it’s the last day, please give me all the tickets~~~~ Thank you~~~~
