Chapter 61, Ordinary People

Walking out of the door, Li Ya shook his head, twisted his waist, kicked his legs a few more times, and saw the doorman standing at the door of the guard's room, Li Ya found that he was quite young. It is said that the doormen Li Ya has seen are all old men, but here is a young man.

The young doorman saw Li Ya come out and turned around and entered the guard's room. Li Ya found out that his right leg was disabled.

The person who accompanied Li Ya saw Li Ya looking at the doorman and introduced: "His name is Hong Jun, he has just come down from the battlefield in Vietnam, and he is the first batch of second-class combat heroes in self-defense and counterattack battles. ”

Li Ya was in awe when he heard this. Vietnam War, although Li Ya knew very little about the two lives, but from the few words, he could still feel the tragedy of the war. And these soldiers who went to the battlefield are well-deserved heroes!

Li Ya said: "I see!"

Since he is a hero of the Vietnam War, Li Ya has to greet him. Walking into the guard room, Li Ya saw that Hong Jun was about to stand up, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You have inconvenient legs and feet, don't stand up, let's sit and talk." ”

Handing over a cigarette and introducing himself, Li Ya said: "You fight Vietnam, and there are many reports abroad. I'm in Canada, where there are two or three hundred thousand Chinese who have fled from Vietnam, and you have avenged them. My farm and refrigerator factory are almost all Chinese who have fled the country, and they have tears in their eyes when they talk about your fight against Vietnam. Now that I've met you, I have to say thank you to all of you soldiers on their behalf. ”

As soon as Hong Jun thought about it, he knew that Li Ya was talking about those who suffered from the Vietnamese anti-Chinese movement, and said: "It's nothing, soldiers, obey orders and listen to commands, but unfortunately I was injured as soon as I went to the front line." ”

The regiment of the Hong army was ordered to attack, however, the mountainous and dense tropical rainforest was not suitable for the operation of large corps, and as the active attacker, it had to disperse and search and advance. Hongjun's company was ambushed and was moving forward, when the enemy began to attack and strafe, many casualties, the battle was very fierce at the beginning, as soon as the fire was returned, the enemy's artillery began to roar, and the gunfire of a few rounds of return fire was sparse. When the enemy saw that there was still a return fire, he did not charge, and the two armies fired at each other. Hong Jun hid behind a big tree and kept shooting and shifting, and after his right leg was wounded, he just found a good defense point, and ran over with pain and changed his body shape, and only then insisted on until the reinforcements arrived. And their company was not slaughtered because of his wounded and incapacitated comrades who returned fire from time to time, and their return fire not only killed and injured many enemy soldiers, but also dragged the other side's footsteps, creating favorable conditions for reinforcements to come and annihilate this enemy force. After the war, Hong Jun was rated as a second-class combat hero, but after being injured, he continued to fight, and his leg injury was repeated many times due to fierce battles, and he could never recover. After the wound healed, Hong Jun recovered, just in time for the establishment of the refrigerator factory, so he arranged for Hong Jun to come over.

Hong Jun's own narration is much simpler and prosaic, and it does not highlight his role. After listening to Hong Jun's narration, Li Ya sighed: "We love peace, we love our hometown, and whoever dares to violate us will let him perish." You and your comrades did it, and we're amazing people!"

Hong Jun said with a smile: "It's just that I've been on the battlefield once, it's nothing remarkable." It is even more remarkable for you to come back and help set up factories and make money from foreigners to develop the country. ”

The next day, after the workers went to work, Li Ya looked around the workshop, and indeed found that some of the workers were not serious about their studies, and Li Ya's worries were about to become a reality. clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and then said, "You are all educated youths who have returned to the city." There are many reasons why there is such a large group of educated youth, one of which is that the population in the city is large, and there are not enough jobs, so they can only move to the countryside. Now that you have returned to the city, you have entered this factory, and if you have a job, you must work hard, at least you must be worthy of the wages and benefits you receive. He raised his hand and continued, "Like this one, I came in and saw him sitting still, turning around and still like this." I wonder if he's already proficient? Comrade, can you simulate the operation?"

The other party didn't care, and he didn't even move his hand. Li Ya said with a smile: "This is the successor who has received social, social, main, and righteous education for more than 20 years? I think he is here to eat food for nothing and get a salary for nothing! I have no opinion on related households, after all, whoever comes is working. However, I want to sit in the office because of my relationship, I want to work less and get more money, I want to mess around, and I die as soon as possible. Now it is advocated to work more and get more, work less to get less, and those who do not work are not allowed to eat. That is to say, society, society, the Lord, and righteousness do not support lazy people. Now there are a lot of unemployed young people, you don't want to do it, some people want to do it, don't occupy the pit. For people like this, where do my opinions go back and forth!"

The other party looked at Li Ya contemptuously and said: "This is a state-owned factory, you are not from the factory, who will listen to you?" Also, if you don't inquire about who I am, my father is the director, who dares to fire me?"

Li Ya laughed and said: "My father is the director! Hehe, the city and the committee? A child of the city university, cadres, and ministries was educated like this? I think his father must have started his family by fighting martial arts, and perhaps he even betrayed intelligence during the war years." I can tell you with certainty, don't say that your father is just the director, that is, he is the province, the governor is the province, the committee, the secretary, and the secretary, and if I decide to fire you, I have to fire you, otherwise the cooperation will be terminated. I can afford the loss. Now, please get out. ”

The other party really didn't have the face to stay, but when he left, he shouted for revenge. Li Ya shrugged, looking indifferent.

Waiting for the eye-obstructing person to leave, Li Ya smiled and said, "Okay, now that the eye-catching person has left, let's talk about our hearts." Everyone comes here to work, and the salary is relatively higher. However, there are still very few. Don't be satisfied with such a life, now the country is reforming step by step and opening up step by step. Changes in China will be rapid, dizzyingly fast, and unresponsive. To adapt to such changes, it is necessary to improve one's knowledge and skills. Therefore, after everyone goes to work and works overtime, they have nothing to do, pick up books to study, and take a correspondence exam. ”

"What is correspondence?" someone asked.

"It's self-study, you don't need to go to school to study, and after passing the exam, you will be issued a diploma recognized by the state, and it should be implemented soon. Or, if you can't learn, learn a technology. There is a saying that the craftsmen do not die of hunger, not to mention others, we are a factory that assembles refrigerators, and we will produce refrigerators in the future, learn to repair refrigerators, and we will be able to eat with craftsmanship in the future. Or you don't want to do it yet, and you feel that the income is small, so you can go to the practice stall after work. ”

"We know that it's just to make some pocket money. ”

"Of course it's hard to practice a stall, it's business. What we pay attention to is that no one has me, no one has me, and I have the vision to seize business opportunities. For example, when making baked cakes, one is delicious and the other is unpalatable, and of course the person who makes it delicious has a good business. Of course, it is delicious and widely publicized. Why is Wu Dalang famous for baked cakes? Because Shi Nai'an advertised him. ”

Li Ya said it interestingly, and everyone laughed.

However, some people said: "The practice stalls are all done by people who have no jobs, and they are looked down upon." ”

Li Ya smiled: "Go your own way, don't care about other people's eyes." Take it a step further and wear someone else's shoes and go your own way so that others have no way out. Of course, this is just a joke. I am also self-reliant, and I have not been idle and have nothing to do to cause trouble and cause a burden to the state, so what is there to be ashamed of? Let me tell you, in '76, I took the fungus mushrooms I found to the county and sold them from house to house, but it was still speculation. Regardless, it's good to make a little more money. You can eat better, you can be healthy, you can buy what you like, you can buy a house, you don't have to share a bed with your younger siblings. ”

This last sentence hit everyone's hearts at once. They have all lived a hard life, and now they are not much better, eating better, buying what they like, and having their own house are simply their biggest dreams.

After some agitation, Li Ya walked out of the workshop, just in time to see Hong Jun, took out a cigarette case and handed one over, and asked with a smile: "Brother Jun, is there something wrong?"

Hong Jun took it, lit it with a match, took a deep breath, and after exhaling for a long time, he said, "I came to see what was going on, and I just heard your words." I want you to ask, is there a real future for practicing stalls?"

Li Ya said with a smile: "Of course there is a future, the rich people in the world are all businessmen! ”

"I'm thinking about what to do. Many of my comrades-in-arms have very difficult families, and if they make money from practicing stalls, they can not only make a good life for their parents, but also help their families. ”

Li Ya admires from the bottom of his heart, this is a person with noble character!
