Early in the morning, the Gu family came.

And when Gu Xicheng saw the visitor, he was happy in his heart:

"Uncle Xu. ”

"Bhoo. Eldest nephew, uncle came too early, you can't sleep the whole time, right?"

"No, I woke up early. "Actually, he didn't sleep at all, I'm afraid it's not true. Seeing outsiders is confirmed.

Gu Mingchuan happened to throw the quilt pillow into the bedroom, beckoning and shouting:

"Old Xu, enter the house. ”

"Uh-huh, what about me. Xu Gang said with a smile on his face while taking off his cotton shoes:

"Section chief, I didn't hear that the child had a foot injury, I'll take a look. As he spoke, he put the bag of fruit, cigarettes and alcohol on the side of the sofa.

Gu Mingchuan thought to himself: My son has been burned for several days. Besides, a child is not an old man's illness. Today, I blocked the quilt early in the morning to come and see, and the drunkard didn't mean to drink.

There's something wrong with this, and as for what's going on, he's also aware of it.

Gu Mingchuan patted Lao Xu's knee before getting up, and took a warm pot to make tea:

"You, you, come here, what are you doing with that thing? It's not easy for every family now, especially yours. For a college student, my sister-in-law is not in good health. Take it back in a moment, do you hear it? Don't fix this scene, or I won't welcome you. ”

Xu Gang immediately lowered his head when he was said, and the excuse of finding the door was too undignified. Isn't his heart on fire?

"Section chief, I don't go around in circles anymore, over the years, you know what kind of person I am. I haven't slept well in years. I think I have a bottom in my heart, is there me on this list of laid-off workers? Dead or alive, I have to let that stone fall. ”

Gu Mingchuan pushed the teacup and motioned to the other party to drink tea: "Yes." ”

The man in his forties raised his head violently, and instantly looked at Gu Mingchuan with red circles in his eyes.

Gu Mingchuan shook his head helplessly: "Old Xu, don't be like this." ”

Gu Xicheng also hurriedly went to the kitchen on crutches at the same time.

As soon as he stood on his front feet, he heard the choking of the old men in the living room, and the reassuring voice of his father.

"Section chief, what's wrong with this world? When the country runs out of us, don't you want it if you don't want it?

I don't understand what reform means. I knew that I had been a model worker for many years, and I had worked hard for most of my life to give to the vehicle factory.

In eighty-five years, I was paid according to the amount, and I returned to the overproduction award. I pedaled my bicycle out to do business for the factory, and on a cold day, I fell countless heads, and my body was blue and purple.

But I'm happy, and I'm running. The big guys are working one by one, and they are energetic to go to work, and they can't wait to live there.

I'm now laid off?

And the section chief, you. Since the director of the factory suddenly died, and now you have been sent to the propaganda department by those two bastards in the factory, what is the propaganda? Propaganda layoff?

They are putting little shoes on you, losing your conscience!

They forgot, forgot that it was the plan you wrote to the factory director, so that the implementation of volume-based remuneration, production and operation all-inclusive, work sharing, and operation guarantee. It's you who brought us all to work in full swing.

Our factory overhauled nearly 5,000 units in 87 years, and was named a key factory in the province that year. If you look at the present, is it still the same vehicle factory as before?"

Xu Gang foamed at tears with excitement: "Unloading the mill and killing the donkey, cadres like you, workers like me, we are all thrown away like rags." Section chief, they have ruined the homes of thousands of our workers!"

After shouting, he suddenly covered his head in decadence and cried:

"They are eager to sell the factory for money, and I feel uncomfortable. ”

What can Gu Mingchuan say?

Those words in his heart, Lao Xu, the subordinates he once brought with him, helped him say them.

But what can he do? He is a nominal leader who has been transferred to the propaganda section as an idle post.

Over the years, I have watched one good worker after another be taken down, from being unhappy with the factory director to being numb to now, alas.

After sorting out his mood, Gu Mingchuan patted Xu Gang's shoulder and said:

"Lao Xu, I won't say the high-sounding words.

I only saw the list yesterday, and they were all finalized, so I had to be informed.

If you are laid off in batches, you should have been mentally prepared for a long time. Compared to Lao Chu and Lao Liu, who came down earlier, right? It is estimated that they will have to talk to you in the past two days, and no matter how much complaints and grievances they have, it is useless.

You just thought, it's almost the New Year, so you should have a good rest.

Lao Liu sells fruits, Lao Chu pours couplets, and Lao Huang goes to the beach to pour seafood. What does this mean?

If there is something that can't be overcome at home, brother, just come and tell me, I can help. ”

Gu Mingchuan felt that the matter had come to this, and that was all he could say.

What's more, he couldn't sit still. The kitchen is like the sound of chopping dumplings and fillings, and the sound of boiling pots. His son will tidy up the kitchen later.

When the two people in the living room sent it one and the other walked out, Gu Xicheng had already poured the noodles with marinade.

Gu Mingchuan approached and looked, a little dumbfounded, and said with a slightly stiff expression: "I'll go to the table." After taking a few steps, he suddenly stood up and looked back at his son's back on crutches in the kitchen.

At the dinner table, Dang's father took the initiative to speak:

"It doesn't look like it's hurt in vain. After staying in the restaurant for two days, I learned to cook. ”

Gu Xicheng chopsticks paused: "Hmm." ”

"What kind of soup is this? It's very fresh, it's different from your mother's cooking. ”

The sound of snoring and eating noodles, Gu Xicheng took a few bites of a bowl of noodles and replied vaguely: "Don't pour out the water for soaking mushrooms, it is fresh and flavorful." After another bowl, he asked:

"Dad, have you ever thought about leaving the factory? You have the ability, you can do anything. ”

Gu Mingchuan was happy. It turns out that in his son's heart, his image is not bad. But still a somewhat serious face:

"Thought. ”

"Do you think you can be admitted to university in that year, but if you don't have a class, you will go in vain. Men have to have jobs. After so many years in the factory, you are used to it, and you will not be comfortable when you leave, even if you know that you can do something more than your salary. So, you're not going to put it into action?"

Gu Xicheng still has one thing that he hasn't said: You are still a bit of an official fan, don't look at you for doing business here and that for trading.

"Hmm. ”

Gu Xicheng nodded, and got a positive answer to understand, that is to say, his father will not end up doing business, it is useless how much money he makes, and his personal pursuit is there.

Tsk, this kid, look at that nodding motion?

Gu Mingchuan observed Gu Xicheng with some scrutiny, with a straight waist.

And after the latter served another bowl of noodles to his father, he simply dragged the noodle basin over: "I've eaten them all." With this small physique, Gu Xicheng is a little disgusted with his current self.

"Dad, then you have to contact my Uncle Tian more. ”

"What do you mean?"

Gu Xicheng can say that Uncle Tian came to our house after you died, and he came to the door ten years after "breaking off friendship" with you, so that his eldest brother was the secretary of our mayor and didn't want other factions to give him, and wanted to recommend you?

As a result, I didn't expect you to be gone.

He couldn't say.

And even when he was promoted to the deputy regiment, Uncle Tian also contributed.

This friendship, Dad, you have to pick it up sooner.

"Don't you always talk about how you two go to school to divide a big pie? ”

Speaking of Tian Hongjun, Gu Mingchuan was heartbroken: "You don't understand." ”

"I don't understand what? Isn't it that he came to you to approve the note back then, and you think that Comrade Tian has been corrupted by the bourgeoisie.

I'm not going to comment on whether or not to approve the strips.

But Dad, why don't you want to think that Uncle Tian has such a capable father-in-law, who can't he find for approval, why did he come to you?

He wanted to make money with you, and you said he had changed.

Don't look at me when I was young, I remember that Uncle Tian was damaged by you and left our house overnight.

But has he really changed? Uncle Tian has such good resources that he doesn't use, and he doesn't want a good job, so he goes to the sea by himself, and has a lot of ambition. ”

Speaking of this, Gu Xicheng got up and left the dinner table, moved and sat on the sofa again, and then came to a conclusion:

"The misunderstanding between you is that you didn't tell him, you didn't even arrange your daughter-in-law's work. Even other factories took the initiative to arrange my mother's work, but you were stunned, for fear that our family would be criticized.

My Uncle Tian, he just didn't expect that there would be a revolutionary worker like you in this era. ”

Gu Mingchuan......

The excitement of breakfast is gone. Watching his son pick up the arm strength stick and start to click:

"Stinky boy, stay at home by yourself, and pick up this table for me!"
