Wenzhu chose to go to work on July 4th, USA on the other side of the ocean fanatically celebrates the National Day, who will pay attention to the work of a nobody in China, thinking of this unbounded matter, due to the strong asymmetrical contrast, Wenzhu is happy.

Zhenxing Tool Factory is located in the northern suburbs of the city, in front of a north-south cement road, called Zhenxing Road, relatively narrow. Both cars will have difficulties, and one must give way to the other to pass calmly, if the two cars are dead, then be two turtles on a single-plank bridge.

The gate of the factory is attached to the west edge of Zhenxing Road, and the outer eight characters are open to the east, and the factory buildings are on both sides of the gate, and the gap between them and the road is about a meter wide green isolation belt.

There are two elm trees in front of the door, which are said to be older than Wenzhu, and although they are not towering into the clouds, an adult cannot hold them.

Every spring, the elm money blooms all over the tree, and it is almost the same as the copper plate, but in fact, it is not a flower, but the fruit of the elm tree.

And Wenzhu has always thought that it is a flower, pale yellow, like a butterfly with flapping wings, perched on the technique.

There are many elm trees in the north, and there are few in the south, and there are two trees at the door of Wenzhu's house when I was a child, which are about the same age as Wenhui, and then the building was cut down.

The tender elm money can be eaten raw, with a hint of sweetness, and sometimes a little bitterness. If you soak it in a pot and add some condiments, it should be sweet and delicious.

Modern people don't worry about food and clothing, and they don't have the leisure to eat the elm money, and remember the bittersweet ones.

When the wind rises, the elm tree is like a writer, and the elm money is his inspiration, endlessly, sprinkled, and the whole ground is full of thoughts of Mother Earth, and returns the selfless love of Mother Earth.

There are some shops on the other side of the road, some sell department stores, some sell fast food, some sell cold drinks, there are more than a dozen factories in the vicinity, and to the north is Xincun and private houses.

There is also a slaughterhouse and wholesale farm opposite, you can't see anything during the day, Wenzhu wakes up from a dream in the middle of the night, and will always hear the last miserable sound of the beast, I can't help but feel creepy, I get used to hearing too much, but it just affects sleep, and the sound can not easily sleep after entering the ears.

More is better than less, especially for people in the city. No matter how miserable the slaughter of pigs and cattle is, no one cares, as long as it is not a homicide, the noise disturbs the people, and the patience of the Chinese people has been developed for thousands of years, and they have been numb to the peak.

Rare animals are about to be extinct before they are protected, the wind and sand blow to the door to plant trees, environmental pollution affects life to deal with it, what did you do before, development. Is it necessary to sacrifice the humanities and the ecological environment for economic development? Because the people of the country are really easy to talk to, as long as there is a way to live, they seldom shout, let alone rebel, because rebellion is forced by the officials.

With the reform and opening up, the people's consciousness has been much higher, the concept of the legal system has gradually entered the hearts of the people, the word democracy is no longer a slogan, and some people dare to write letters from the people.

I don't know if it was a business problem, or if the nearby residents who couldn't stand the noise petitioned, and the slaughterhouse was moved. The move was clean and quiet, and the nearby residents were really quiet for a few days.

Who knew that "the head of the city changed the banner of the king", and the signboard of the slaughterhouse was replaced by the signboard of the farmers' market, and it changed for several years.

The voices are even more boiling, and there is a smoky smell when the weather is hot. Nearby residents jumped from a small fire pit to a large fire pit, suffering unspeakably, and Wenzhu also suffered greatly because he stayed in the factory.

About 40 meters south along Zhenxing Road from the factory gate, there is a main road from northeast to southwest: Beijiao Road. There is a middle school across the road, which is well-known in the city.

In the first row of two-storey buildings in the east of the middle school, there are seven or eight small restaurants settled in, and the home-cooked food is not bad. Because the periphery of the house was painted yellow, Wenzhu called it "Yellow Palace", and later the word "Yellow" was indecent and changed to "Wang", "Palace" was magnificent, and the people who came in and out were naturally noble.

Further east along the sidewalk, eighty meters, there is a bridge, called Duofu Bridge, which is very short and connected with the asphalt road. If there is no river below, Wenzhu probably thinks it is just a pier. There is a bus stop at the head of the bridge, Wenzhu can take the bus home, five yuan once, and it is very bento.

Zhenxing tool factory is suffering in the urban area, there is nowhere to expand, every inch of land is expensive, the buildings in the factory are dense, and the spider web is good, and the gap between the plant and the plant is for a truck to enter and exit.

Except for the flowers and trees in the flower stand, there is almost no green to be seen. On the balcony of the office, there are several evergreen bonsai, embellished with the coldness of steel civilization.

Due to the long history of the factory, some factories are red bricks, and there is no painting at all, and there is the mark of that era: red and specialized. There are also some traces of the old slogan: "work hard for the construction of the four modernizations" and so on.

There is also a new factory, a five-storey building, designed in the current style, so the buildings in the factory are not in harmony with each other, just like the helplessness of human beings, helplessly coexisting.

Wen Zhu first reported to the personnel department, which was on the third floor of the office building. The office building is like a square on two sides of the adjacent building, sharing a staircase. The personnel department is just around the corner, and the political engineering department and the trade union share an office, two rooms, there is a round door in the middle of the communication, hanging beads on both sides, a touch makes a crisp sound, swaying non-stop.

In the morning, there is the rising sun, and in the evening, there is the sunset in the west. It's okay in winter, spring and autumn, but it's a steamer in summer, fans and air conditioners never stop, and sometimes the unit also sends cold drinks to cool down. Standing by the window, you can smell the smell of the farmer's market opposite, and you can hear the cries of chickens and ducks when the windows are closed.

The person who received Wenzhu was the chief of the personnel department, Shao, whose name was Dongfang. It looks like he's sixty years old, but it's actually less than fifty. Thin, black face, wearing a pair of large black-rimmed glasses, a few rare beards stuck to the chin, always looking at people from above the lenses, smoking a cigarette from time to time, and black teeth.

The secretary's surname is Fang, his name is getting stronger, he is also a smoking gun, he is short and fat, and it should be called "Fang Wanchuan" in terms of body shape, and he was very slender when he was young. Secretary Fang came down from the bureau, and it was easy to go down and difficult to go up, and he couldn't go up here. From time to time, he tells jokes in dialect Mandarin, and people laugh half to death, he is indifferent and a master of humor.

The chairman of the trade union is a female general, named Chang Xiaoying, who is shorter than the secretary, also fat, wearing a skirt, Wen Zhu is always worried that she will trip over her skirt, fortunately, she does not move around often, which is probably one of the reasons for obesity. The voice was pleasant, listening to her speech, as if she were just a prop, and the voice came from the announcer on TV.

There are three other clerks in the office, two women and one man.

When two cigarette guns spray at the same time, Chang Zhudu will protest loudly, and also mobilize non-smokers in the office to lobby together, saying that smoking is harmful to health, please cherish life, life is like that cigarette butt, the more you smoke it, the shorter it is, and the harm of second-hand smoke is greater, if you roll outside to smoke, in short, the woman's voice will not stop until the goal is reached.

The second cigarette gun also argued at first, and then he was speechless, either pressing it off in the ashtray on the spot, or taking a few puffs to accelerate the demise of the cigarette butt, or sneaking out through the back door. The president of the union can adapt to one cigarette gun, and two cigarette guns exceed the limit of a woman. The two smoking guns found this rule, one inside and one outside when smoking, and the rotation was naturally less.

Wine is a gall booster, and smoke is a pathfinder. If you have nothing to do, the relationship will naturally rise to the next level. Smokers are good smokers, just like drunkards, and those who come do not refuse. Wenzhu doesn't smoke, but he still has it in his pocket, Section Chief Shao and Secretary Fang have one each, and the others don't smoke. Section Chief Shao took the opportunity to talk to Wenzhu about going to work.

Secretary Fang obediently went out of the back door and went outside to ride the clouds.

Section Chief Shao always had to cough dryly before speaking, I don't know if the problem with his throat, or if majesty requires such a habit, which makes Wen Zhu extremely uncomfortable to listen to, and always feels that there is something stuck in Section Chief Shao's throat.

The leader talked a lot, but Wenzhu asked little. Section Chief Shao talked about employment to work, from difficulties to development, from sales to scale, from attendance to work and rest, from labor discipline to rules and regulations, and from employees to loyalty. Like the water of the Yangtze River gushing endlessly, it is estimated that it is rare to have such an opportunity to perform, perhaps the obligation of smoking Wenzhu's cigarettes.

In addition to nodding "um", Wen Zhu saw stitches when he was smoking and drinking water, asked some small questions about food and accommodation, and as for the treatment and benefits, he had to beat on the side, pretending not to care. Some leaders hate to talk about treatment without contributing, and once they grab the pigtails of employees, they tell people to get out.

Secretary Fang inspected a circle outside and came in, interrogating Wenzhu, the world is very small, the two actually have a little relationship, Secretary Fang's grandmother is from the east of Wenzhu Town, half of her hometown, but Secretary Fang has not been there for decades.

When the speech was about to end, the leader was always encouraging, Wen Zhu was smoking and saying goodbye as usual, and when he saw Section Chief Shao coming out, he thought he had something to advise. It turned out that Secretary Fang was drawn in it, and for the sake of fairness, he was rotated outside.

This time, the unit recruited six college students, who were distributed in business, finance, production, and technology, and one was a doctor, who was accepted in response to the call of the Three Gorges immigrants.

Wen Zhu went to the circulation library under the finance department and followed a statistical exercise surnamed Xu. That night, Wenzhu warned himself: The student days are gone, and when he enters the social university, he has to rely on his own hard work.

A few days later, Chen Jiaming, the director of the factory, invited the new college students to hold a symposium in the reception room, which was equivalent to a kind of VIP reception. Wenzhu was naturally frightened, "the county officials are not as good as the current management", respectful, full of modesty, and accepted the baptism.

The factory director and the secretary are in stark contrast, one is getting fatter, the other is lean, and probably neglecting himself for the development of the factory. 1.7 meters tall, with a blue chin, born in political work, shrewd and capable, his eyes shoot at college students from time to time, and he is self-explanatory.

The symposium party gradually participated, and Shao Dongfang recorded. Fang Jianqiang's opening remarks were unorganized, but they also enlivened the atmosphere and were not so restrained.

Chen Jiaming's speech, although most of them are clichés, is short and powerful, and sometimes there are gestures to cooperate, which is roughly as follows: "All of you here are college students, proud of society, people with lofty ideals, and more educated than me. Then the conversation changed: "Your last term was the state package distribution, to your current term, the planned economy abandoned you, 'Seong lost the horse, how do you know the blessing?' The market economy needs you, and the development of our enterprises needs you - we need young and promising professionals like you." We need fresh blood and new forces like you. ”

After taking a sip of tea, Director Chen swept everyone with his eyes and continued: "Development is the last word, our company needs to use your knowledge, your vitality, and your momentum to enhance the comprehensive strength of our enterprise and drive our productivity to a new level." ”

Wenzhu listened enthusiastically, as if they were all the successors of the leaders.

"Our company is a traditional enterprise that produces hardware tools, and there is a gap with high-tech enterprises, but all our products are exported, making money from foreigners, and earning millions of dollars for the country every year. Director Chen's passionate expression seemed to be able to buy the Statue of Liberty in the United States for millions of dollars.

"Compared with large and medium-sized central enterprises, our factory is a little smaller, but it also has 300 employees. The boat is small and easy to turn around, and it has a small advantage, which will not affect the development of everyone here. Our company is the vanguard of the bureau, always ahead of others in terms of innovation, and has a particularly strong ability to accept new things. ”

This is telling the truth, from the end of 1996 to the beginning of 97, the factory implemented the first restructuring, because it was the first batch in the city, a deputy mayor also came, the country lost the burden, the market tree is typical, the factory is looking for a way out, three wins. Everyone participates, everyone participates.

"Factory management, talent first. Everyone has just left the university, and there is some distance between theory and practice, but 'practice is the only criterion for testing the truth', so the factory department arranged for everyone here to go to the workshop for internship and exercise. I hope you can understand that you can learn some experience and fire from the bosses below, in short, it is something that you can't learn in class. ”

Towards the end, he also used Chairman Mao's "young people are the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning" to inspire Wenzhu.

The closing remarks are as follows: "You are university students, our new employees, and we hope that you will apply what you have learned to achieve your ambitions in life." Our factory will set up a stage for you, please dance your wonderful!"

At the end, the applause rang out non-stop, and if there were more people, they might be able to overturn the roof, and the Wenzhu showed their loyalty.

After the end, Director Chen also relaxed with everyone, where are the people? How many people are in the family? Are you accustomed to food and lodging? Are you adaptable to work? Can you keep up with the rhythm of the factory? Let Wenzhu feel very cordial, and after a while, he saw both sides of a person on and off the stage, and he had the style of a politician.

Wen Zhu couldn't count it for a while, but saw Shao Dongfang meticulously recording it from beginning to end, and even Fang Jianqiang's opening remarks and Chen Jiaming's family routine were basically written down word for word, like a robot, strong enough.

Wen Zhu was a little curious about this person, and later found that Shao Dongfang had no matter how big or small, and everything must be remembered. As big as going to the talent market to participate in a large-scale job fair on a certain day and day of a certain month, how many people were recruited, how many people became into it, and as small as when I interviewed such and such an employee on what day and month. Like a journal, there are records to follow.

Such a rigorous person surprised Wen Zhu, and he seemed to see the shadow of Zeng Guofan, of course, there was no comparison, and Wen Zhu had never seen that persistence and perseverance later.

Wenzhu worked for 11 days and received the first salary in his life: 998 yuan, and the first half of the month reported for the whole month. This number is very auspicious, Wenzhu's maternal uncle must be very happy to hear it: "Ninety-ninety-eight" harmonizes into "uncle's hair", in fact, the uncle didn't catch any of it, because his maternal uncle was not in Wenzhu's plan.

When nine red coins, one green coin, two twenty coins, one five yuan, and three one yuan were sent to Wen Zhu, Wen Zhu didn't know whether he was excited or happy, and forgot to say thank you to the accountant.

New money heralds a new life, but Wenzhu has no direction in front of him. Joy spreads in the heart, as if there is no real feeling yet, like the fermentation of wine, it takes a process. It's like waking up in the night, and the bare hills are full of flowers, which is unbelievable.

Finally, there is no need for parents to support, and he can share his mother's worries and contribute to the family, and the man's courage is infinite.

At this time, the joy is as clear as the white clouds in the blue sky, the wind is surging, like the crest of the waves in the sea, which cannot be stopped, and like the flowers on the branches, blooming in the wind.

Today is Saturday and tomorrow is closed. Wenzhu asked his master Xu for two hours off, and the master was not a few years older than Wenzhu, and he was very accommodating and accurate.

Wenzhu borrowed a bicycle and went straight to the silk scarf shop in the city. A few years ago, Dong Mei took a fancy to a silk scarf in that store, with ninety-nine roses on it, red flowers on a white background, and extremely excellent workmanship, which complemented Dong Mei. It's just that the price is too expensive, three hundred is not discounted, and Dong Mei doesn't have enough money, so she will not be able to do it, and she will forget about it later.

God is favored by Wenzhu, and the silk scarf is actually waiting for the master, and it is discounted for two hundred and nods, probably because of the change of seasons. The owner of the shop is cool this time, and the transaction is two hundred, which is one hundred more than the previous year. Let Wenzhu learn the same thing, and it will be much cheaper when the seasons are alternately promoted.

Before marriage, for the beloved woman, he poured everything he had to buy his girlfriend's beloved things, and the man probably didn't feel distressed. This is probably also the magic of love, and the male wants to prove that I am the one who loves you the most.

On the bus, Wen Zhu was still planning how to spend the rest of the money, and he didn't pay attention to the car when it started and stopped. Leave 300 for living expenses, 200 please Chengbang and Dong Mei congratulate, buy Wenhui for the summer, and hand over the excess to his mother. The plan was perfect, and everyone was happy.

When Wenzhu got off the car at Dong Mei's door, he had regained his calm, and called Cheng Bang from a public phone on the street, saying that he would gather at the old place at night, and Cheng Bang's family was almost busy, of course it was OK.

Wen Zhu said hello to Dong Mei, rode Dong Mei's "little donkey" and rushed home, the gift was in the bag on his body.

Wen Hui was at home during the summer vacation, playing basketball with his playmates on the playground, and when he saw his brother coming back, he didn't play the ball anymore, he sat in the back of the car shirtless, and whistled home one by one.

Mom and Dad were still busy in the fields, and the brothers went to the fields. Wen Zhu's father and mother heard the brothers calling each other, straightened their waists, thumped their hands behind their backs, and smiled comfortably.

"Mom, Dad, call it a day, let's do it tomorrow. Brother is back. Wen Hui said while helping his father and mother clean up their working tools.

The same is true for Wenzhu, urging his father and mother to finish work early. Seeing that the work in the field was almost over, Wenzhu's father and mother followed the brothers home. The thin back of his father and mother under the sunset made Wen Zhu's eyes sour, and he felt indescribable pain.

When his father and mother washed their faces and sat at the table of eight immortals, Wen Zhu reported to his father and mother about the situation of work and the arrangement of wages. My father and mother were extremely satisfied with it, but they thought that the silk scarf was too expensive, and it was almost worth most of Wenhui's school living expenses for half a month.

Wen Zhuniang said: "Son, don't hand over the money, keep it for yourself." In society, you have to spend money on communication, and there are many places to spend money in the future. ”

Wen Zhu said: "Mother, it's okay, I have a number." I'm just getting started, and I'll earn more and more money in the future, and I'll honor you well. It's just that you don't have to work too hard, I really don't worry about your body. ”

"We're tough old bones, don't worry. Wen Zhuniang smiled, and her father echoed.

Wenzhu gave some of the money to his mother, but his mother resolutely refused to accept it, but Wenzhu couldn't, so he took his younger brother to the town to see if it was too early. Wen Zhuniang told her to be careful on the road and come back early in the evening.

looked at the distant youthful backs of the brothers, and said to Wen Zhu's father: "Wife, you are willing to come hard." ”

The "wife" is not old, she is just in her early fifties, and Wen Zhuniang is not yet fifty, but the burden of life has squeezed their years, and they are a little old.

Wen Zhu's father should not, smoking a cigarette, his eyes passed through the gate, flew over the Wen Dong River, and stopped at Dong Sanbao's back door, as if he had something on his mind. After a while, he said slowly: "Wenzhu is twenty-three, Dong Mei is twenty-four, it's time to get things done." ”

In the countryside, if you don't get married after 25, people will mumble: Is it sick? Or is it a physical defect? Or is it poverty, but in fact poverty is also a disease.

Elderly people are afraid of poverty, and there are lingering palpitations of "once bitten by a snake, and ten years afraid of well ropes" remain in their bones. The days of "three or two heads" are like a sword hanging above the head all the time, and I can't eat enough, so why do I have a mind. The muscles and bones can only shrink and shrink, and there is always a little deformity after development. Fortunately, it is only three years, and if it is longer, the life will be reimbursed long ago.

"I thought the old man didn't care about anything, but he was also worried about Zhu'er. It's energetic, and the two have reached the age of marriage. If you don't invite Uncle Wenzheng to be a matchmaker in late autumn, you will be done next year. "Uncle Wen is highly respected in Wenjiazhuang, and he also taught Wenzhu when he was young, and Wenzhu deeply pleases him.

"Okay. Wen Changfa lifted off the stone in his heart, felt much more comfortable, and went to get dinner. Wen Zhuniang turned around the table for this matter.

"Good again" restaurant, "Xiaoyue Xuan" elegant seat, the old place and old location. Wen Zhu waited for people to sit down, and Fang asked Dong Mei to close her eyes and say that there was a gift to offer. Dong Mei didn't know what it was, seeing that Wenzhu was very mysterious, it must be something she loved, she closed her eyes, her brain was spinning rapidly, and she didn't turn out any mental parts.

When Wenzhu said yes, he couldn't wait to open his eyes wide: it was a silk scarf, a beloved rose silk scarf, and the memory came alive at once.

Beloved things are lost and regained, lost in memory, and gained in reality. Dong Mei jumped up happily, ignoring that there were still two big people in the house, hugging Wen Zhu, her face was loud.

Cheng Bang stroked his palms and laughed: "Not suitable for children, not suitable for children." Wen Hui's face was flushed, he looked down at the menu, and pretended not to read anything.

In fact, Wen Hui is also eighteen, just catch up with Wen Zhu's son, there are girls at school who are desperately chasing him, but he doesn't dare to say it when he goes home, for fear that his parents will complain, spend money indiscriminately, and don't study.

Wen Zhu hurriedly pushed Dong Mei away and pointed at Wen Hui with his finger, Dong Mei accepted her passion and sat down in a proper manner. But I am extremely happy in my heart, and what makes me happy is not the value of the silk scarf, but Wenzhu's heart and true feelings。。。。。。
