The next day, my father went to work as usual, and he also went to the airport when he drove the unit car back to see Fan at noon.

On the way back, Li Zheng wanted to speak several times, seeing that his father didn't know how to speak, his father became impatient, patted his head, and asked him to fart quickly.

Li Zheng looked at him with a smile, "Dad, was you stimulated yesterday?"

"Ahh "Dad didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either.

Li Zheng thought for a while, and then said, "Dad, if you really want to make some achievements, don't you go to that old man to take a look, I can see that that person is definitely this before he retires." ”

He gave a thumbs up, and Dad looked at him without speaking.

"Don't stop talking, I'm sure I can see it anyway, and you can't fail to see it, right?" ”

Dad didn't stop and sent him downstairs before leaving.

When the electricity came from home, Li Zheng and Li Yan occupied two tables in the bedroom respectively and began to study day and night. Li Yan can understand as a test candidate, but Li Zheng is surprising, after all, his high school career has just begun.

Mom and Dad didn't persuade their sons to study hard, but in the past few days, they have given a lot of food, basically a meal of meat, every morning before dawn, my mother rushed to the market to buy these vegetables and meat, and then looked forward to the heavy rain to stop, the flood has receded.

I heard the news that yesterday the county town below was besieged by floods, and the city temporarily seconded a team of people from a police station to go to the disaster relief, but I didn't expect that an old comrade was swept away by the flood in order to bring back his young colleagues, and there is still no news about his whereabouts.

Dad went to send a lot of things to the family of the old colleague, and he was still embarrassed when he came back, but only Li Zheng knew that if he hadn't tried his best to persuade his father to come to the Planning Bureau, otherwise the person who was swept away by the flood might be his father.

Although he is a little selfish in doing this, but under the flood of nature, how can he tell people without evidence that there will definitely be a flood, and you should not go to the disaster?

If he really did that, what was waiting for him would not be arrested and taken to the institute, but probably he would be disliked by his family, which he would never risk after he was reborn.

More and more counties affected by the flood, and even the province and the country began to pay attention to it, and many soldiers also came to help with disaster relief.

After coming back, he refused to rest well, and gnawed at those brick-thick books until late every day. Throughout September, the family was wrapped in this tense learning atmosphere, and even my mother, after watching the TV "Six Children" in the past few days, realized that there would be no way out if she continued to work in the garment factory.

By the time it was eleven, the flood had receded one after another, and the soldiers had all withdrawn, leaving only the local garrison and armed police officers and soldiers to recount the losses and carry out post-disaster reconstruction.

That's a very big idea, the new city will be built in the new district, all the municipal departments will be moved, and there will also be new schools, hospitals, shopping malls and other infrastructure, which is a very big project, if my father can participate in the design......

Li Zheng decided to urge his father, that old man actually looks very reliable, doesn't he?

It was supposed to be the 11th Golden Week, and all the students were on holiday as usual, but Li Yan, as a senior high school candidate, after the flood receded, he returned to school and began another round of intensive review.

And Li Zheng couldn't help but pull his mother to the mall, "Mom, listen to me, even if you don't buy a single piece of clothing today, you have to go shopping with me." ”

"I'm not going. My mother stood at the door of the department store, stunned and refused to go inside, "Son, you listen to my mother, I work in a garment factory, and I can get whatever I want to wear on weekdays in the garment factory, the price is cheap and I have a first-hand source, you trick me in!"

Li Zheng had a black line on his face, he really didn't want to force his mother to go in to buy clothes, he also knew that the clothes inside were very expensive, but his purpose was not this?

"Mom, I promise you, if we go in and just look at it and don't buy it, will it be successful?" Li Zheng raised his hand and swore.

Mom slapped his paws away, glanced at him, and then the high heels made a crisp sound on the ground, he smiled, and followed his mother's back into the department store.

The goods sold in the department store are the most popular things of this era, and in the late nineties, the craze for babe skirts had just faded from the departure of summer, and the weather was a little cooler in the past two days, and a large number of jeans and white shirts reoccupied the market. The entire mall was bustling with goods, as if the flood had not affected them in the slightest.

The hoarded goods were sold out, and Li Zheng and his mother stood on the side of the aisle watching all this, and neither of them spoke the whole time, as if they were stumped by those colorful clothes, and they couldn't step to see those clothes anyway.

Until Li Zheng suddenly spoke, "Mom, do your garment factories also sell these things?"

Mom shook her head in a daze, and hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "No, we don't sell those, we only made some thread shirts when we started work in the spring, and there were not many orders." ”

Li Zheng pointed to the clothes on both sides of the elevator in the mall and asked his mother, "What do you think of those clothes? Ruffles have been popular in the past two years, right?

Mom continued to shake her head, "No, no, we made a batch last year, and we were going to put it here for sale, but people didn't want it, so we could only lower the price and put it in the light industry market over there." ”

"The market, the kind that specializes in selling clothes?" No wonder Li Zheng didn't know, their clothes could be taken in the garment factory, and then this kind of light industry market did not exist for a few years, it was eliminated by small shopping malls, the rise of the clothing industry is particularly fast, almost in the blink of an eye, all kinds of brand clothing can be all over the city shopping malls, wholesale city.

Mom explained to him, and then the two of them went up from the first floor to the second floor, all of which were all kinds of men's clothes, which could be seen on TV at home and abroad, and the mother who watched it was eager to buy a few pieces for Dad, and finally under Li Zheng's advice, he only bought a suit that looked good, and the price was barely affordable, even if none of them said it, but Dad's current identity should also have a set of formal clothes in addition to the work clothes issued by the unit.

Mom watched a lot of money turn into a suit, her face became more and more bad, and when she got to the third floor, she basically just looked around, and then hurried home with Li Zheng.

Dad has been in the library these days, and recently the library has entered a batch of the latest planning books, which can only be read over there, and is not allowed to be borrowed, and Dad can't and can only go over there to read, but there is no doubt that reading books in the atmosphere of the library is more efficient.

Li Yan couldn't come back from class just now, and there were only two of them left at home, Li Zheng went into the kitchen to find a steamed bun that he hadn't finished in the morning, and looked at his mother who was sitting on the sofa and depressed while eating.

"Mom, aren't you hungry?" Li Zheng asked his mother by the door.

The old mother glanced at him, didn't speak, covered her face and lay on the sofa, and after a while, Li Zheng finally saw that something was wrong.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Li Zheng choked on the steamed bun in a few bites, ran to his mother's side and asked her, "Tell me?"

The mother raised her head, looked at the little son's face without concealing her worry, and snorted twice before saying: "Mom thinks that she is very useless, everyone in the family is studying, you and your brother go to school and study hard, Mom is very pleased, your father also learns like this, this is ......"

Li Zheng smiled, "Mom, do you have a sense of crisis?"

Mom nodded hesitantly, "Almost, when your dad was at the police station before, I didn't think anything about it, anyway, there was just a little bit of development over there, but now that he has gone to the Planning Bureau, I think I should learn something after listening to what you told your dad, I can't lag behind you." ”

Li Zheng hugged his mother, his nose was a little sour, he couldn't say what he felt, a little bitter, and a little astringent, he was suddenly moved to have such a home.

That's nice.

"Mom, do you really think so?" Li Zheng was still a little uneasy, he was afraid that his mother would still be reluctant to give up her position in the garment factory, she was the leader of their group of quality inspection teams, and she was considered a middle-level garment factory.

When the mother saw her youngest son's suspicious gaze, she was immediately unhappy, "Do you think your mother is so short-sighted? Can't I see that the benefits of our factory are not good!"

How dare Li Zheng follow these words, he can only show off all the words he was going to say to her, "Mom, you really think too much, I don't mean that, I just want to tell you what I think." ”

Mom looked up at him with a look of disbelief on her face, "Well, you say." ”

"Today I took you to the department store to see what is sold in the mall now, those things are in demand, which are profitable, but we look all the way, do we find that the clothing industry is still very interesting. First of all, I think you used to work in a garment factory, which is a great advantage, I don't know if you have noticed that our people's consumption power is now rising. Not to mention a year ago, let's just say that three months ago, when my dad was still working at the police station, we went to the mall for a walk, can we buy that suit back without saying a word?"

The mother thought about it, nodded and listened to her son's continuation.

Li Zheng saw that his mother did not refute, so he continued: "Since the consumption level of our people is rising year by year, wages and GD...... Ahem, we have more and more money in our pockets, so the future garment industry will definitely take a boutique route, so have you ever thought that the use of the current garment factory, in the future will only do boutique clothing, design, production and sales one-stop. ”

"A dragon?" the mother was stunned.

Why did she never think about these things, in fact, their garment factory just can't keep up with the trend of fashion in the final analysis, so naturally no one places an order for the clothes they make, but if their clothes are at the forefront of fashion, then everything is different?

"yes, that's what I'm going to tell you, and I think you can do it. Li Zheng's head flashed the picture of the TV, and he said again: "Think about the mother who raised six children......
