Chapter 181: Mine Chief Liu's Troubles
Liu Mine Chief's wife Wang Yun called the door, and saw Xu Tianyu standing at the door slightly stunned, and then welcomed him in with a smile on his face.
"It turned out to be Brother Xiao Xu, why did you have time to come? What else do you bring, it's really out of sight. Wang Yun said as if complaining.
Xu Tianyu noticed that her eyes were swollen, her smile seemed to be squeezed out, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes seemed to be a little more, and she spoke with a touch of sorrow, without the graceful and luxurious temperament that she had when she met in the past.
"Sister Wang, I didn't bring anything, just a bottle of wine. I just have time to have a drink with Brother Liu today, by the way, is Brother Liu at home?" Xu Tianyu stepped into the door, handed the things to Wang Yun, and asked.
"At home, at home. Wang Yun replied enthusiastically while taking the things, and then shouted into the room, "Lao Liu, come out quickly, Xiao Xu has come to you for a drink." ”
Xu Tianyu had already come to the living room, and with Wang Yun's greeting, a wooden door on the left side of the living room opened, and a middle-aged man with unkempt hair came out of it, who was Mine Chief Liu.
With him, there was a large area of smoke, and the pungent smell of smoke poured out from the room behind Mine Chief Liu, Wang Yun frowned, and said impatiently, "Old Liu, you hide inside to smoke again, you know how to smoke every day, and you will be killed sooner or later!"
Mine Chief Liu doesn't seem to be in good spirits, his previous shrewd and capable image is gone, and the whole person looks like he is ten years old. was counted down by his wife, and his old face turned red, but he didn't dare to refute it.
Seeing that he didn't talk, Wang Yun snorted and turned around and went into the kitchen, and there was immediately the clanging sound of pots and pans inside, as if he was venting some grievances.
Xu Tianyu was frightened by the sudden appearance of the situation, and thought to himself, in the future, when Sister Xiuqiao reaches this age, will she be so powerful?
It wasn't until his wife turned around and left that Mine Chief Liu smiled apologetically at Xu Tianyu, "Brother Xu, let you laugh." ”
"Brother Liu, where is the word. Xu Tianyu smiled awkwardly, a little unsure of how to answer.
"Why is my brother free today?"
"It's not good that I haven't seen each other for a long time, I came to talk to Brother Liu about the old days, and by the way, I want to ask Brother Liu some questions. ”
Mine Chief Liu hurriedly waved his hand, "If you don't ask for advice between brothers, you can say anything about it." ”
As they spoke, the two of them went to the sofa, and Mine Chief Liu poured a cup of tea for Xu Tianyu, Xu Tianyu leaned over to take it, and then said, "That's the case, I went to the market today to buy coal for the winter, and it turned out that there was no coal in the market.
Mine Chief Liu sighed deeply, with a sad face, he said, "The coal mine was stopped two weeks ago, it was a document issued by the municipal government, didn't we set up a development zone in our town, saying that the coal mine was heavily polluted and was directly shut down, and I was also worried about this matter." ”
"I see. Xu Tianyu was stunned, he thought for a while before frowning and said, "This is not a trivial matter, just talking about the placement of those workers is not easy to do, right?"
"Who says it's not?" Mine Chief Liu stroked his hair irritably, and his unkempt hairstyle was more like a chicken nest, "I'm dying of sorrow for this matter, and ordinary workers can say that after the establishment of the development zone, they will always be able to find a job." But people like me, who have been dealing with coal for most of their lives, suddenly stopped the coal mines, and I really don't know what else I can do. Do you want to be an ordinary worker in a factory?"
Xu Tianyu was also silent for a while, indeed, when you are used to being a leader, and then you go to do ordinary work, at least psychologically, this level will not be easy.
"Forget it, don't talk about it. Mine Chief Liu waved his hand vigorously, as if he could wave away the troubles, "As for the coal you said about winter, there is still a little stock in the mine, and I will ask someone to pull it over for you in a while, and I can still help with this little favor now." ”
"Then thank you, Brother Liu. ”
"You don't have to be polite between brothers. ”
After having a dull lunch at Mine Chief Liu's house, Xu Tianyu returned home, and in the afternoon, someone brought them a cart of coal.
Xu Tianyu put the coal in the basement basket by basket, and when he used it, he was moving it upstairs, and after thanking the driver, Xu Tianyu carried a basket of coal upstairs.
The stove was lit, the whole room was baked warm, Xu Tianyu watched the black coal being burned red in the hearth, and his heart was very uncomfortable.
Seeing the predicament of Mine Chief Liu's family, he couldn't be indifferent, after all, when he was just reborn and was still poor, Mine Chief's family gave him a lot of help. Not to mention introducing him to business, although almost all the money earned that time was given to Tian Chao, so that he and Sister Xiuqiao divorced.
But it was precisely with that money that Tian Chao agreed to the divorce so happily, otherwise it might have to make Sister Xiuqiao more difficult.
Therefore, deep in his heart, Xu Tianyu is grateful to Mine Chief Liu's family, he is a person who will take revenge and repay his kindness. This time, I have to find a way out for Mine Chief Liu.
Holding a homemade iron hook in his hand, unconsciously hooking the carbon fire in the hearth, Xu Tianyu felt a little tricky.
Really as Mine Director Liu said, if it is an ordinary person, when facing this kind of unemployment, it can adapt more quickly. He has a decoration company here, but he can't just let Mine Manager Liu come to him as a leader, right? Besides, it's not a field, and others won't be convinced.
Before he could figure this thing out, it turned out that his own decoration company also had a problem, which Xu Tianyu didn't expect, even if he was reborn and returned, he didn't expect such a storm.
In the evening, Chen Xiuqiao was cooking around the new stove, and the aroma of stir-fried vegetables filled the whole room. is full of life, which makes Xu Tianyu feel like an old husband and wife.
Maybe in the future, he and Chen Xiuqiao will spend their lives in such pots and pans. Ordinary and real, this is life.
Just when Xu Tianyu comprehended the true meaning of life with emotion, a knock suddenly sounded outside the door.
"Xiaoyu, go and open the door, I can't spare my hand. Chen Xiuqiao turned his head to Xu Tianyu and said, the shovel in his hand kept stir-frying the hot and sour shredded potatoes.
Xu Tianyu agreed, walked to the door, it's so late, who is still coming to visit the door, if it is in the countryside, at this time, they will all be in the bed, right?
When he opened the door, there were two people standing outside the door who surprised him very much, Wei Dasheng and Liu Ying stood outside the door with anxious expressions on their faces.
"Huh, why are you here?" said Xu Tianyu in surprise.
"Brother Xu, something is wrong. Before entering the door, Liu Ying shouted.
Xu Tianyu frowned, and let the two of them in the door, "Come, come in and say, what's wrong?"
After the two entered the door, they said hello to Chen Xiuqiao, sat on the sofa, and Liu Ying spoke.
"The engineering team has no work to do, and many people who said they want to decorate are not allowed to do it. My mother told me about a daughter-in-law, and people were quite happy to hear that I worked in the town, but now it's also **. ”
Unconsciously, Liu Ying spoke with a crying tone, looking annoyed. Xu Tianyu frowned, what a mess.
Wei Dasheng on the side saw that Liu Ying couldn't speak clearly, so he took the initiative to say, "Brother Xu, it's like this, almost two weeks ago, the coal mine in the town stopped production, and the workers were unemployed. I don't know who spread the rumor that the mine was going to take back the resettlement houses for workers, so many people who originally planned to let us renovate their houses have temporarily changed their minds. Some of the arrears of the project money can not be collected, but even if there is no work, our workers have to pay wages, seeing that by the end of the month, the company's books are not enough, what do you think should be done?"
After Wei Dasheng's complaint, Xu Tianyu also figured out the ins and outs, all of which were chain reactions caused by the suspension of coal mines, and now even the engineering team has been affected.
Wei Dasheng's voice was low and his tone was tangled, Liu Ying simply cried with a sad face, as if the end of the world had come, and Chen Xiuqiao frowned when he listened to it.
Xu Tianyu's face also sank, he thought for a while, and said, "It's really tricky, but our workers' wages have to be paid as usual, didn't we make a lot of money in the early stage?"
As soon as these words came out, Wei Dasheng's face suddenly looked bad, while Liu Ying's face was full of embarrassment, and he didn't dare to look at Xu Tianyu with his face, as if he was hiding something.
Under the pressure of Xu Tianyu's gaze, Wei Dasheng snorted and said quite angrily, "I made a lot of money, but it was divided by a few of them! Now the company has no money, and it has encountered difficulties, but no one wants to take out the money." ”
Maybe it was because she was pierced in the face, Liu Ying reacted violently, her face turned red in an instant, and she argued with her neck bent, "Divide ...... Isn't it right to divide the money? Isn't it just for the money that we work so hard? I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet, what's wrong with me taking the money home to marry my daughter-in-law? Wei Dasheng, don't just count me, why don't you talk about yourself. Set your workers' wages so high, or we wouldn't be out of money by now!"
Wei Da trembled angrily, "You should share the money, but at least you should also set aside liquidity for the company, I give workers high wages because their skills are worth so much money." ”
Liu Ying was still arguing a few words, but was interrupted by Xu Tianyu's scolding, "Okay, don't argue, I have already understood the matter." ”
Xu Tianyu knows a lot about his friends in the same village, short-sighted, open-minded, and has no business acumen at all.
In fact, he is also to blame for this matter, when they worked alone at the beginning, the money they earned was divided equally, this is Xu Tianyu's consideration for them, which can be regarded as taking care of a few dead friends.
