Chapter 177: The Death of the Times

"Director Wang, you said those people are the employees of your Xiling Canning Factory?" Zhou Ming asked in surprise.

Standing in front of Zhou Ming was a group of people dressed in gray linen and tattered and dirty, some of them were tall and some short, but all of them had yellow faces and thin muscles, and their eyes looked a little dull and dazed, and they were not lifeless.

This scene made Zhou Ming can't believe it, before Zhou Ming and Xiling Canning Factory Director Wang Chen chatted at the factory gate for a while, Director Wang invited Zhou Ming to sit with him, and by the way, the workers of the canning factory were called to let Zhou Ming take a look.

Zhou Ming was sure that if he met such a group of people on the road, he would only think that it was a group of beggars, and he would never think of which factory workers they were.

You must know that before the restructuring, workers have always been the masters of the party and the state, a group with advanced ideological concepts and the ability to act, and a group that can ensure income in drought and flood, and an iron rice bowl of an era.

Facing the surprise of Zhou Ming and Su Han, Wang Chen felt very ashamed and painful and nodded: "That's right, they are the employees of my factory, which really makes Boss Zhou and Manager Su laugh, this is all because I, the factory director, is incompetent, and there is no way to lead the workers of my factory on the road to prosperity, these workers can only go to the production team next door to do things, and the result is like this, I am guilty, I am a sinner of Xiling Canning Factory!"

In the previous chat, Zhou Ming had already explained to him the identities of himself and Su Han, so he changed his words in terms of title.

Seeing Wang Chen's appearance, the soft-hearted Su Han comforted him and said: "Uncle Wang, don't be like this, it's not that the factory is not profitable, and the township and county have not given you production tasks, and you can't help it, right?

Only then did Wang Chen raise his head and say to Zhou Ming and Su Han: "Yes, that's right, fortunately, Boss Zhou and Manager Su are here, I beg you to save our Xiling Canning Factory, you are our only hope!"

Zhou Ming stretched out his hand and patted Wang Chen on the shoulder and said, "Director Wang, don't worry, since we are here, we will definitely do something, the workers in your factory are here, let's go over and take a look." ”

After speaking, Zhou Ming and Su Han Wang Chen went over to the group of people, just now they just glanced at it from a distance, Zhou Ming felt that this group of people looked like beggars, and when he got closer, the situation of these people was even more shocking: they were dressed in tattered clothes, with holes on the left and one hole on the right on their bodies, and the cotton in some places was exposed, so they barely put a patch on it.

Their mental condition is more frightening than what they are wearing, they are all standing there expressionless, their faces and hands are full of mud stains that have not been washed for an unknown amount of time, anyway, looking at this group of people, you don't feel angry at all, as if they have no soul and are like the walking dead.

"Huzi, aren't you a little Huzi? Aren't you supposed to be in school now? Why are you also working in the production team?"

Su Han suddenly saw a familiar face in the crowd and shouted in surprise, it was a very short and thin person, with a childish face, and it could be seen that he was only twelve or thirteen years old at most, but now he was as dazed and lifeless as everyone else.

"Zhou Ming, this is Huzi, the child of my third aunt's family. Su Han explained to Zhou Ming, "It's just that why didn't you see the third aunt?"

At this time, Wang Chen came over and said to Su Han: "Manager Su, that ...... Huzi's father went to work in the fields this summer, and when he was tired, he rested next to him for a while, and then ...... Never woke up again. Originally, the factory was supposed to help him raise Huzi, but you have also seen the situation in our cannery, and there is no way to do it, so I have to let Huzi go to work in the production team with the others......"

Before Wang Chen's words were finished, Su Han yelled at him, "But he should still have to go to school now!"

Wang Chen was scolded by Su Han so much that he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, Su Han walked over and pulled Huzi out of the crowd, took out a handkerchief to help him wipe his face and said, "Huzi is not afraid, there is a cousin here, and my cousin will take you to eat delicious food for you to go to school in the future." ”

As soon as Su Han's words were finished, Huzi's stomach screamed, and Huzi looked at the beautiful cousin in front of him and said, "Cousin, I'm hungry." ”

This made Zhou Ming frown, and Zhou Ming asked Wang Chen: "Director Wang, what's going on? Didn't you say that they were working in the production team next door, and the production team was feeding them?"

Wang Chen sighed and replied: "The production team did pack them to eat, but after all, we are not members of the production team, we are temporarily going in to work, and the production team also knows the situation of our canning factory, and knows that we have no way out, so they bully us and let them do the heaviest work, but they only give them white rice porridge and pickles, and they can't eat enough at all." ”

"How can this be? The production team is so unbelievable!" Su Han said indignantly.

Zhou Ming took out 500 yuan and handed it to Wang Chen and said, "Director Wang, you take this money, let everyone have a full meal first." ”

Wang Chen didn't dare to accept such a big amount of money at all: "Boss Zhou doesn't need so much, just a hundred is enough." ”

Zhou Ming insisted on handing over the five hundred to Wang Chen and said: "Director Wang, this money is not for you to solve the problem of food and clothing today, but to let you not have to worry about eating these days, and it is also to let you recover your nutrition and body, so that you can be a person again!"

Listening to Zhou Ming's words, Wang Chen was stunned for a moment, and everyone else was stunned, and then Wang Chen and the others knelt down for Zhou Ming, crying and kowtowing to Zhou Ming: "Thank you Boss Zhou, thank you so much Boss Zhou, you are really the savior sent to us by God!"

"Director Wang and everyone hurry up, this can't be helped! What are you doing here?"

Zhou Ming and Su Han went to help them up as they spoke, but these people were all kneeling there very hard, even Zhou Ming couldn't pull them up, and Zhou Ming didn't dare to work too hard, for fear that they wouldn't have eaten enough for too long, and their physique would be very weak and strain them.

"Boss Zhou, Manager Su, you are our great benefactor, except for kowtowing to you, I really can't think of any other way to thank you. Wang Chen cried and said to Zhou Ming and Su Han, "Boss Zhou, Manager Su, you don't know what kind of life we have lived in the past few years, the factory has not been able to pay wages normally for five consecutive years, and all the things that can be sold in the factory have been sold, everyone went to work in the production team, and was bullied by those farmers, we are living a life that is not as good as pigs and dogs, and no one has treated us as human beings for a long time!"

"Only Boss Zhou, Manager Su, only you!" Wang Chen said, "Only if you come to see us today and are willing to give us money to eat enough, you are Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves suffering, and you are the heavens and the earth!"

Looking at the group of people kneeling in front of him, Rao is Zhou Ming also felt a sour nose, and Su Han next to him was already crying, Zhou Ming said to him: "Director Wang, I understand your mood very well, but no matter how grateful you are, it's not too late to fill your stomachs first." ”

After Zhou Ming's reminder, Wang Chen suddenly thought of it, and then he immediately got up and took the money to a person next to him, and asked him to take someone to the production team to buy meat and come back to cook and eat.

And with Wang Chen's arrangement, the others also took action immediately, some of them went to clean the big kitchen again, they didn't know how long they had been putting the spatulas and chopsticks out to clean, and some went to pick up dry firewood and straw and came back to make a fire.

In this way, Zhou Ming and Su Han had a hearty lunch with them here, Zhou Ming and Wang Chen talked about the transfer of factory equipment, and Zhou Ming and Su Han drove back in the afternoon.

On the way, Su Han remembered the situation of the canning factory just now, Su Han felt a little sympathetic, she turned to Zhou Ming and said, "Huzi and those employees of Xiling Canning Factory, Zhou Ming, will you help them, right?"

"Of course, Xiaohan, have you forgotten that we went to this factory to help them this time?" Zhou Ming smiled comfortingly at Su Han and said, "When the time comes, when we transfer the equipment of this factory, we will take these workers out by the way, place them in our 76o factory, and eat the meals in the big canteen in our factory, I believe they will recover soon." ”

"It's just," Su Han hesitated for a moment, and then made up his mind to say to Zhou Ming, "I asked when I was eating just now, in fact, the canning factory has owed a total of more than 300,000 wages in the past five years." ”

Zhou Ming said: "This is all small money, not to mention 300,000 wages, even 3 million I can get it, and this is also the money that those workers should get." ”

"Thank you, Zhou Ming, thank you. Su Han choked up and said to Zhou Ming.

"Silly girl, tell me what to do with this. Zhou Ming said.

Zhou Ming said this, but Zhou Ming could understand Su Han's thoughts very well in his heart, seeing the appearance of those people, let alone Su Han, he felt a little panicked in his heart.

Zhou Ming had no way to imagine what would happen if he hadn't come today and hadn't seen the situation at the Xiling Canning Factory?

On the other hand, in this era, the Xiling Canning Factory may be just an exception, but who can say that it does not represent the sadness of an era? Even if the situation of other factories is not so bad, it is not much better, just like the 76o factory where I worked, before I took over, didn't it also pay wages for several months in a row?

Zhou Ming tried hard to shake off these thoughts, and then said to Su Han: "Okay Xiaohan, let's go to your county later, didn't Director Wang say that the equipment in the factory needs to be transferred, and the county needs to nod?" So you have to quickly adjust your mentality, if you still cry like this in the county, it won't look good." ”

Su Han took out a handkerchief and wiped away his tears, nodded vigorously and said, "Well, I will adjust my mentality." ”
