Chapter 37 The wave of layoffs begins
The arrival of Wei Zhong's two classmates was a bit unexpected for Chen Yixin.
The girl's delicate mind first took into account Zhou Sheng's acceptance. Compared with these children who are used to living at the bottom, Zhou Sheng is very different from them in every aspect.
After realizing this, Chen Yixin quickly went to the small supermarket outside the hospital to buy a children's lunch box, the kind with a separate small space inside. I washed and scalded it in the boiling water room of the hospital before taking it back to the ward.
"He's not having a good stomach right now, so it's better to eat it alone. I'll divide it for him, and you can't get anything else, so don't be greedy for him, and put it aside and eat." ”
Chen Yixin was right, the three big boys didn't think much about it at all, they took the things away and put them on the two stools side by side to squat and eat.
Zhou Sheng looked at the lunch box in front of him, smiled, and ate happily.
"Eh, Xinxin, is your father's factory a producer of section steel?"
After eating and chatting, Hou Wen suddenly asked Chen Yixin.
"My dad was looking for a suitable section steel two days ago, if it's convenient, give me a contact information, and I'll ask my dad to talk to your dad. ”
Chen Yixin nodded, and left his uncle's phone number to Hou Wen.
It's not that she looks down on her father and talks business with others, but it's better for her little uncle.
"By the way, your factory has been making a lot of noise lately, do you know?"
Chen Yixin and Wei Zhong glanced at each other and shook their heads.
Since I moved out of the family area of the factory, after the summer vacation, I basically haven't been there, and I don't know what to do.
"The reform plan of the cable factory came out, workers over 40 years old directly bought out the length of service, under 40 years old to participate in the skills assessment, qualified to stay, unqualified directly terminate the contract. ”
Chen Yixin gasped.
The cable factory is a large factory, and for decades, there are at least 1,000 employees, and it is good to be able to leave one-tenth of this dismissal.
Moreover, most of the workers there are between forty and forty-five years old, and this part of the people is the heaviest time of life, and they have no jobs, so you can imagine how they will make trouble.
Another boy's family is estimated to be working in a certain department of the municipal party committee, and he must have heard a lot about the policy.
"The cable factory is the first batch, followed by the steel pipe factory and the cutting tool factory, and then the other factories will all be restructured by the end of next year. It is said that more than 50,000 people have been laid off. ”
Although 50,000 people is not too much in a city with a population of one million, there is more than 50,000 behind these 50,000 people. Once there is no job, what should I do to eat? What should I do when I am sick?
The topic was a bit heavy, and even several of their children felt the pressure.
Among the five people, the worst family conditions may be Chen Yixin, Wei Zhong's father is said to be already in an active relationship and wants to be transferred to a technical staff university as a teacher. His mother is expected to stay in the factory and continue to work in the factory.
"Fortunately, your family has found a way out in advance, and if you work hard for two years, you may not be unable to do it. ”
Hou Wen comforted Chen Yixin dryly, and secretly bumped his companion's elbow and asked him not to talk about it anymore.
"Don't worry about me. Chen Yixin didn't care, "Actually, I guessed a long time ago, my dad is stupid, and his relationship with the leaders is not very good, most of them are the ones who have been laid off." However, he has the skills and is not worried that he will not be able to find a job. The difficulty is the past few years, and it will be good if I am admitted to university. ”
"That is, we will definitely have a job after graduating from college, and we will be able to give back to our family when the time comes. Hou Wen added.
When a few young people in the ward were laughing, a big incident broke out in the factory area.
Because of being laid off and the pressure of life brought about by being laid off, some people can't bear it, and they begin to use violent resistance to express their feelings. The consequences of this violent resistance were casualties and damage to state property.
"Lao Chen, are you really not going back to have a look?"
After receiving the news, Chen's mother locked the storefront in the town and rushed to the steel mill on a bicycle.
Chen's father was squatting on the edge of the flower platform and smoking alone, and there were already cigarette farts on the ground beside him.
In the factory, both production lines were running, and several young men were silently doing their work.
"Go back and see what. Father Chen extinguished the cigarette butt he had just lit, "If you are laid off, you will be laid off, and if you are not laid off, you will not be able to live." ”
That being said, his face was still ugly. Having psychological preparation and really coming to you still feels different.
This is different from whether the steel mill can make money, and I always feel that the unit I have fought for all my life has abandoned me, and this loss is the big stone in Chen's father's heart.
"Yes. Chen's mother sat on the flower platform and sighed, "I'm worried that there will be such a day, and I won't dare to go back during this time." Yan'er called me to cry just now, but what can I do?"
Yan'er is Chen's mother's former colleague and co-worker, and she has rarely been in contact in the past two years, but she suddenly received a call from the other party, and the other party was crying like she was about to lose her breath, and Chen's mother said that it was not uncomfortable and impossible.
"Alright, don't get involved. Chen's father got up and straightened out his work clothes, "Gangwa's parents probably won't be able to escape the life of being laid off this time, you and Binzi will sum up to see if you can find a way to find a temporary worker for his father, the situation in his family is ......."
Dad Chen didn't finish speaking, his throat choked, and he turned around and walked towards the factory.
Gangwa is Chen's father's apprentice, and later because Chen's father offended the workshop director, Gangwa was afraid of affecting herself, so she proposed to dissolve the master-apprentice relationship.
asked Chen's mother to say that she was too lazy to care about this matter, but she also knew her man's temperament, Gangwa's father and he were in the factory, if he hadn't accidentally broken a hand, he wouldn't have let Gangwa go to work for him before graduating from junior high school.
There was a lot of trouble when I broke away from the relationship, otherwise with Chen's father's temperament, I am afraid that Gangwa would have to go to work in the steel mill.
Just when Chen's mother was in a daze, Sun Chao came over in a small truck.
"Sister-in-law, why are you standing here, it's so hot, let's go to the office and sit for a while. I've brought some popsicles, you can get one and cool it down first. ”
Sun Chao parked the car, stuffed a popsicle into Chen's mother's hand, and then walked to the workshop with the bag.
After entering, I saw that Chen's father was teaching the newly recruited young man. The child has a nervous temperament, and he always wants to hurry up with the quantity when processing, and he has the most unqualified number of spot checks. In the past two days, Chen's father has been staring at him closely, but everything he has processed by hand must be measured and qualified before it can be put into storage.
The young man had a bitter face, and he was scolded by Chen's father so much that his head was too big, but he still couldn't get rid of his rough temperament.
"You kid, I'll tell your brother like this again, let him beat you. ”
This young man was introduced by Sun Chao, he couldn't do it well, and Sun Chao also felt that his face was dull, so he ran here as soon as he got off work in the past two days, and he also wanted to pressure him to work hard.
"Lao Chen, Lao Chen, go back to the factory, your master is fighting with someone. ”
