Chen Donghui and Shen Xiaojun quickly found the Fengyuan canning factory at No. 35 Shenyang Road, and sure enough, as the squid owner had just said, this small canning factory is now deserted, and there are hardly people to be seen.

There was an old man in his fifties and sixties in the communication room, and when he saw Chen Donghui and Shen Xiaojun standing at the door, looking inside, holding a glass with half a cup of tea leaves, and wearing an old yellow-green military uniform, he walked out and asked, "What are you doing?"

Chen Donghui walked over, gave the old man a red double happiness, and said politely: "Uncle, hello." The two of us came to inspect the cannery. ”

The old man's puzzled eyes immediately lit up, and he didn't dare to pick up the cigarette, and asked with hope: "Are you the leaders from above?"

Chen Donghui didn't answer directly, and said with a smile: "Hehe, uncle, you take the cigarette first." Is there anyone else in charge here?"

The old man took the cigarette, but he didn't dare to light it, and hurriedly said: "Yes! Yes, our factory director Guo has been guarding here!"

"Director Guo?" Chen Donghui asked suspiciously, "Is it your leader?"

"Our first leader has been transferred back to the headquarters, and Director Guo is our deputy factory director, but he has the final say, and those of us who stay behind listen to him. ”

Chen Donghui took out a lighter and wanted to light a cigarette for his uncle.

"Oh, don't you dare!" the old man took out a match and went to help Chen Donghui light a cigarette.

"Hehe, uncle, you're welcome. Then let's go our separate ways. ”

After taking two puffs of cigarette, Chen Donghui asked again: "Uncle, why did your factory collapse?"

When this topic was mentioned, the old man immediately showed a bitter face: "Alas, it can't be sold! Seeing that tens of millions of bottles of canned food have been produced, but they can't be sold, and the shelf life is short, so if you put it on hold, you will be blind." Another point is that wages cannot be paid, there is no money in the factory, and the wages of the workers have not been paid for several months, and slowly the people's hearts will disperse, and they will fall day by day. ”

"Oh, uncle, where did you make canned food in the past?" Chen Donghui asked again.

"This ...... It seems to be nearby, right? The counties below, the townships, or something......" The old man was a little puzzled by this question, "I don't know this either." ”

Shen Xiaojun asked with interest: "Oh, uncle, why don't you leave?"

The old man shook his head: "I grew up watching this canning factory, and I have been here for so many years, and I am reluctant to leave! Besides, I am so old, what can I do when I leave? Alas, I am here to help Director Guo look at the factory." ”

"What are your plans for Director Guo?" asked Chen Donghui again.

"Our factory director Guo is communicating with the headquarters above, hoping that the headquarters can support us, give us some funds, pay the wages of employees, and continue to support the factory...... Leader, are you here to support our factory?"

Chen Donghui nodded: "Uncle, sort of." In this case, can you help us contact Director Guo first?"

The old man walked excitedly to the communication room: "Okay, okay, I'll go and paging Director Guo......"

However, before he was halfway through, the old man stopped, patted his thigh and shouted: "Oh, I forgot, our phone has been shut down!

"Hehe, okay, uncle, don't worry. Well, let's go around and come back in two hours. Chen Donghui said.

"Have a glass of water here? Oh, I don't have the key to the office, so I should let you sit inside and wait." "The old man was very embarrassed.

Chen Donghui waved his hand: "Uncle, let's go around the neighborhood, we'll be here in two hours, okay?"

"Okay! Okay! Then the leader will go around first, and I will immediately find someone to call Director Guo. The old man pointed back, "The dormitory building of the factory is behind here." ”

......

"Donghui, what the hell do you mean?"

The two of them were walking on the bustling street, and Shen Xiaojun asked puzzled.

"White wolf with empty gloves, make some money. Chen Donghui said with a smile, "Xiaojun, this canning factory, we have seen it just now, the scale is not small, and the output should not be low." Supposedly, in this day and age, materials are not abundant, why would an industry like a canning factory become like this?"

Shen Xiaojun turned his face and looked at Chen Donghui: "Didn't the uncle say it just now? Canned food canned food can't be sold, and everything shelved has expired." There is also no money to pay salaries, people's hearts are scattered, and no one comes to work. ”

Chen Donghui held a cigarette in his right hand and said quite knowingly: "Yes! Actually, these two problems are one problem, and the market is not smooth! Qinggang is a seaside city with abundant aquatic products, many fishermen, fresh aquatic products, and very cheap prices. The Fengyuan canning factory relies on the sea to eat the sea, and there is no problem in making canned aquatic products, but the problem is that their sales are not right. As the uncle said just now, their canned food is mainly sold to the counties and townships below, these places are already poor, and canned food is more expensive than fresh aquatic products.

Shen Xiaojun understood this time and asked, "Donghui, do you mean to help the canning factory sell the canned food?"

Chen Donghui gave a thumbs up: "Xiaojun, I know that as soon as I say it, you will understand." ”

"Where are you going to sell it?"

"Hehe, that's easy. Qinggang is close to the sea, and these things are not rare, but these things must be good things in those inland cities! Chen Donghui said with a wink.

Although Shen Xiaojun is still a little uncertain, he admires Chen Donghui very much in his heart, looking at Chen Donghui's confident appearance, maybe this matter is really reliable.

"Xiaojun, don't worry. Chen Donghui patted Shen Xiaojun on the shoulder as if encouraging Shen Xiaojun.

Shen Xiaojun remembered one more thing, and hurriedly asked: "Donghui, even if you can find a market, but this canning factory has closed down, and you owe so much money to the employees and can't send it, how can you let people produce it?"

Chen Donghui looked mysterious: "Xiaojun, don't worry, you wait and see∵ there's an ice rink in front, let's go play inside." Grass, I haven't played with this thing in more than ten years. ”

Shen Xiaojun looked at Chen Donghui a little puzzled, thinking to himself, didn't we slip together in the first two years?

This memory, alas!

......

In the vegetable market of Litang Village, Guo Youcai was shirtless, holding a cigarette, killing fish, next to her wife, Ma Lanhua, while weighing a customer, she kept complaining: "Tell me that you are also a deputy factory director, and now come to buy fish with me, you are not ashamed, I am ashamed." ”

Guo Youcai was not angry, he held a cigarette in his mouth, and said in a flash: "What's so embarrassing? I rely on my ability to earn money to support my wife and children, and if anyone laughs at me, it is his low realm." Our beloved Premier Zhou has said that there is only a different division of labor in work, and there is no distinction between high and low. ”

"Premier Zhou is right in everything, but what he said in this sentence is not right. Ma Lanhua said angrily, "Let's just talk about our Xiaowei, when you were the deputy factory director in the past, their head teacher was good to him, and the seats were all in the front, and he was in the same position as the study committee member in the class." Okay now, you're here to sell fish, and our Xiaowei is also at the back, and the same position is Xiaohao in our alley. Xiaohao skips class and fights all day long, our Xiaowei is in the same position as him, can he still learn well?"

"I don't think so. Guo Youcai put down the kitchen knife, took off the cigarette, and said, "Xiaohao, that child I watched grow up since he was a child, although he was a little naughty and his studies were a little worse, but this child is benevolent and righteous! He is the child king of our alley, you see, who of those half-grown children in other alleys dares to make trouble with us? They all called Xiaohao to run away! I think Xiaowei is good to be at the same table with him! Our Xiaowei is too quiet, not like a boy." This kid, from a young age, is more important than grades. ”

After listening to Guo Youcai's words, a neighbor who bought fish couldn't help but exclaim: "Old Guo, there is you! That's right, it's the same as I thought! Boy, it's almost nothing if you study well, as long as you have ambition, you can get ahead when you grow up." ”

Guo Youcai said with a smile: "Look, Lao Chao thinks so too." ”

Ma Lanhua couldn't help laughing, although she always complained, but in fact, she still admired her husband in her heart.

After the canning factory collapsed, the first leader immediately threw down these brothers and sisters and went to work at the headquarters, only his husband kept the factory, and tried to sell some of the backlog of canned food at a low price, and finally sent some money to those brothers and sisters, and promised them that as long as their work problems were not solved, he Guo Youcai would never leave these brothers and sisters and go to work alone.

Because of this incident, the old workers of those canneries all gave Guo Youcai a thumbs up, which made Ma Lanhua's heart warm.

She thinks that as a woman, it is nothing to be bitter and poor, the important thing is to have a man who values love and righteousness and knows the warmth and coldness.

And Guo Youcai is such a man.

When Guo Youcai was the deputy director of the cannery, there were never any rumors, and he was conscientious about the factory and his family, and he was definitely a good cadre, a good husband, and a good father. After the factory collapsed, he was replaced by another deputy director, who definitely did not have the courage of his own Lao Guo, threw down his identity as a leader, picked up a kitchen knife and came to the vegetable market to sell fish, and there were no complaints.

Such a man is really a good man who is hard to find with a lantern!

Lao Chao shook his arms and asked, "Lao Guo, your canning factory was very good for the first few years, but now why is it down? Is there any hope of resurrection?"

"Yes, why not?" Guo Youcai put the cigarette back to his mouth, picked up the scissors, grabbed a carp, skillfully broke his belly, and said, "Change the Ming, I still go to the headquarters to ask for money." ”

At this time, there was a commotion in the distance of the vegetable market, and a young man running through the crowd sweating profusely, began to shout from afar: "Director Guo...... Director Guo ......"
