Chapter 42: Divergence
The next day, Li Yifan transformed into a robot mode, starting from the morning, first the uncles and aunts in the neighborhood came to congratulate, Li Yifan accompanied him with a smile, and then the school principal and his party came to congratulate Li Yifan with a smile; and then relatives and friends from all walks of life came to congratulate, and Li Yifan accompanied him with a smile.
For a whole morning, Li Yifan maintained an expression - a humble, honest smile. After everyone left, the muscles on Li Yifan's face also stiffened. After having lunch at home, Li Yifan said that he didn't dare to stay at home anymore, so he left home in a hurry under the pretext of making an appointment with his classmates.
Li Yifan is in a state of pain and happiness, while Su Huijuan is only in a state of pain.
Master Su was furious at Su Huijuan at home, "You unfilial daughter, do you want to make your father angry to death, or how do you get it, did you say that you were poured ecstasy soup outside, you don't do a good job, you want to learn from those second-rate people to go to the sea to be self-employed." I'm!"
"Don't you know how you got this job? I gave it to you with early retirement, and I did so much, what did I do it for? It's not that I'm afraid that you will have nothing to do after graduation and wander around society. It's not that I want you to have a formal job, so that you can find a good family and live a stable life. ”
Mother Su saw that her old man was too excited, afraid that his blood pressure would be high, so she hurriedly went up and handed Master Su a glass of water, "Old Su, drink saliva first, press the fire, and speak slowly, we Juan'er are sensible, there must be some reason." Don't worry, or I'll make you anxious again, what can we do with this family?"
Su Mu turned around and said to Su Huijuan again, "Juan'er, what the hell is going on, you are making a fuss about leaving, the woolen mill is a big enterprise in our city, and there are good state-owned workers in the big factory, you are not good at this iron rice bowl, you have to go to a private enterprise, there is no sooner or later, there is no guarantee at all." Besides, the factory still values you so much, just a few years into the work, the leader promoted you to the team leader, this is not easy, how can you say don't want it!"
Master Su also said, "Our factory is the country, and the country has raised our family, if it weren't for the factory, how could there be this family, how could there be you and your younger brothers and sisters." Juanzi, we can't forget this. ”
Su Huijuan said aggrievedly, "Dad, Mom, now that the times have changed, the factory is not what you used to work like." When you are in the factory, the machine rotates continuously, and the workers work in three shifts. But now, the machines are often resting, and we have nothing to do at work, only a few days when we have work. The bonus is also getting less and less, and it is said that last month's salary was still borrowed from **. The workers in the workshop are worried, for fear that they will not be able to pay their wages one day. Like some state-owned enterprises in other places, let the workers be laid off, and then it will be too late. ”
"Although the factory has some difficulties now, I think ** will not let it go, this is temporary. Moreover, the more times like this, the more we need to take the factory as our home and tide over the difficulties together. And not as a deserter. We must always remember that without the country, without the woolen mill, there would be no home, and there would be no you. Your contribution to the woollen mill is a matter of course. You owe it to him. If you want to leave your job and abandon the woolen mill, I won't agree!" Master Su said angrily.
Mother Su hurriedly stepped forward and soothed Lao Su's chest, "Old Su, don't be angry, speak slowly." Isn't it that the formalities haven't been completed yet? After speaking, he only gave Su Huijuan a look, and motioned her to say a few words, don't make his father angry.
Su Huijuan couldn't understand why she owed the woolen mill, her conscientious work in the factory, the annual production pacesetter, and the wages she got were all earned by her hard work, and she didn't take advantage of the public's penny, how could she end up owing to the woolen mill, she couldn't figure it out. I don't know what kind of divine logic his father is!
The more Su Huijuan sat there, the more she thought about it, the more depressed she became, and she picked up her bag and prepared to go out.
"Where are you going?" asked Su Mu.
"Just take a look around, think about it, I work hard, bear hardships and stand hard work, and create so many benefits for the factory, how can I end up with it, I still owe him, and when will this account be repaid. Su Huijuan opened the door and went out.
"Anyway, I don't agree, no matter what your idea is, I don't agree!" Master Su's shout came from the door that was gradually closing.
Su Huijuan was wandering aimlessly on the street, and suddenly there seemed to be something blocking the sun's rays in front of her, and it was slightly dark.
Su Huijuan raised her head and saw a face full of sunshine, looking at her gently.
"Sister Juan, what's wrong with you? Did something happen? I saw you walking on the road from afar. Li Yifan asked.
Su Huijuan sighed and said, "Hey, I was reprimanded by my father for leaving my job without pay." This is not the most frustrating thing for me, the key is that he said a set of theories, which I couldn't figure out for a long time. ”
When Su Huijuan said this, Li Yifan's curiosity was also hooked.
Li Yifan asked with a smile, "This is interesting, what theory did the old man say, you can say it and listen to it." ”
"My dad said that our whole family should be grateful to the woolen mill, saying that without the woolen mill there would be no us, we are born to owe the factory, we have to dedicate our lives to the factory, otherwise it is ungrateful. ”
After hearing this, Li Yifan put away his smile, pondered for a moment, and said, "I didn't expect your father to think like this, I took the liberty of asking a question?"
Su Huijuan couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Li Yifan suddenly become serious, could it be that there is still a saying in this!
"Ask!"
"According to your age, your father may have been born in the 40s, is your father's family very poor?" Li Yifan asked cautiously.
"How do you know? Our hometown is on the edge of the Yellow River in the Central Plains, my father was born in 40, and after he was born, he caught up with ***, and fled all the way to the mouth, and the family almost died of hunger and illness, leaving only my grandmother with him as a child, struggling to live. According to my father, he didn't know how he survived until liberation. The state arranged a job for my grandmother, so that he could have the opportunity to study, and in the 50s, when the woolen mill was built, he became one of the first workers and worked until he retired. ”
Li Yifan sighed and said, "I understand, the old man is grateful to this country from the bottom of his heart, he is right, without this country, he still doesn't know if he can grow up healthy, let alone marry a wife and have children." The woollen mill gave him a stable life, and although he was not wealthy, he was very reassuring. Your father is typical of the old working class, and it will take a long time to change his mindset. ”
"So what should I do?"
"Let's do your mother's work first, besides, after all, times are changing, and so are the woollen mills. He can't turn this corner now, and with the changes of the times in the future, it will change after all. ”
"That's the only way, today I didn't have time to say that I just suspended my job without pay first, and I was stinky. Su Huijuan said depressedly.
Li Yifan looked up into the distance, as if he was saying to Su Huijuan, and as if he was talking to himself, "The wheels of the times have gradually begun to accelerate forward, and under the washing of this tide, whether we want to or not, each of us will be involved, and no one can escape." The only difference is just morning and evening. But the results can be very different. There are those who stand at the head of the tide and surf forward, and there are also those who are swept into the bottom of the sea by the tide, silently. Which one will we be?"
In Su Huijuan's eyes, Li Yifan at this moment is so tall and wise, like a lighthouse, guiding her in the direction of progress.
