Chapter 41: A Dark Night Visit 1
Walking out of the ward building, a cold wind blew in his face, making Qi Tianxiang can't help but wrap his coat tightly, and his heart has not recovered from the excitement and stimulation just now, until Wang Shi'an drove the car in front of him, he came to his senses, opened the front door and got into the car, and only after sitting firmly did he ask: "You drive by yourself?" What about drivers? ”
"I asked him to go back first, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better. [Ran^Text^Library] Wang Shi'an drove the car slowly, and said with a mocking smile: "Don't worry, my veteran driver for more than 20 years will definitely send you to your destination smoothly and absolutely guarantee your safety." ”
"I'm sure I'm relieved! You're a director-general! Qi Tianxiang was very satisfied with Wang Shi'an's cautious arrangement, so he deliberately teased.
"It's also, director-level, hehe." Wang Shi'an immediately understood the meaning of Qi Tianxiang's ridicule, and was also excited about Qi Tianxiang's astuteness and wittiness, so he continued: "To be precise, it's the co-driver." ”
Hearing Qi Tianxiang's response with a smile, he drove the car intently, and after a while, he couldn't help but say: "This point, let's find a place to feed our stomachs first, and then go to the home to visit." ”
"Forget it, there is not much time, so don't waste it back and forth, let's take a look at the family life of the workers first!" As he spoke, he took out his phone and called Yan Li, telling her that she would not come to the hospital anymore, just eat a little in the hospital cafeteria, and let her go to her father-in-law's house to have a look.
After making the call, he said lightly: "Take advantage of the time in the car, you can briefly introduce the situation!" ”
"This petition is a part of the employees of our heavy machinery group vehicle branch, mainly housing and demolition and resettlement issues." Wang Shi'an thought slowly and said, "There are many origins here, I'll tell you slowly." ”
Seeing that Qi Tianxiang did not object, Wang Shi'an continued: "The vehicle branch is the core enterprise of heavy machinery, and it is a key project planned and constructed in that year. It not only integrates the advanced construction technology at that time, but also draws on the experience of the construction of the big brother's large-scale plant, and in a short period of time it has built the country's first ultra-wide and super-large plant, the whole plant is several square kilometers, without a beam and column, completely supported by a huge keel, and the huge plant is like a helipad. Because the heavy machine took into account the military production tasks, the design at that time also considered the function of aircraft assembly and maintenance, and the train was driven in the workshop, which was very proud and proud of the working class at that time. ”
Wang Shi'an drove the car intently, and slowly narrated, as if immersed in the glory of the time, "What is the workshop like, now I will understand it when I walk around the Brilliant Plaza." Not only the brilliant square, but also the new office building is also part of the workshop, and many subsequent workshops are built around it, forming the center of the heavy machine. According to the development idea of starting a business first and then settling down at that time, after the completion and use of the vehicle branch, a vacant land was dug out of the mountain behind the branch and the first batch of six family buildings of the vehicle branch factory were built. Although it is only a three-story simple building, the water pipes and toilets are still shared by a few families, but the new buildings with bright and clean windows, running water to the doorstep, and no longer need to go to the aqua toilet far away to go to the toilet, the water flushes the toilet, and the separate kitchen makes the workers who live in simple bungalows or dry shacks excited, and become the footnote of the working class to be the masters of the house and the excited life, and it is also a matter of pride to be able to live in the new building and become the lucky one that everyone envies. ”
"Living in a new building and working in a new workshop used to be something that many machine workers yearn for and admire." Wang Shi'an drove the car and continued to talk about the glory of the branch, and then his voice was low, and he gradually became excited, "That is, in the past ten years, as the group's business has become bigger and bigger, the large workshop has become more and more declining and even unsustainable. Of course, the change of business ideas and the changes in the market are beyond reproach, and they are also normal and acceptable. After all, each enterprise in the group has its own assembly workshop, and the diversification of the division of labor can be understood, but it is worth being vigilant if you are not good. ”
Wang Shi'an quickly glanced at Qi Tianxiang, saw that he was listening intently, and did not interrupt him, so he sighed deeply and said: "A few years ago, some people were worried about the land of the branch, the former far suburbs, but now it is the bustling center of the city, the geographical position is superior, the real estate appreciation potential is huge, and the benefits are unlimited. Agree with the real estate company actually controlled by the son of the old leader to develop the land. In order to avoid the obstacles of converting production land to commercial and residential land, the shantytown development of the six buildings of the branch factory was renovated, which not only avoided policy restrictions, but also received policy preferences and tax exemptions. ”
"If you don't die, you won't die." The more Qi Tianxiang listened, the more angry he became, and finally couldn't help but respond coldly.
"There are even more absolutes, only I can't think of it, I can't do it." Wang Shi'an sneered helplessly, echoing Qi Tianxiang's emotions, and continued: "In order to solve the problem of bidding, auction and listing competition, the way adopted is more creative, the group acquired Wang Fatzi's real estate company, so that the shantytown transformation has become an internal matter of the group, and it has successfully solved the problem of the transformation and utilization of vacant factories after the relocation of the branch, and there is a more secret place, that is, Wang Fatzi can naturally have the funds and qualifications to develop six buildings without spending a penny, and he has also obtained a lot of acquisition fees. In addition, relying on the strong brand, capital and resource advantages of Hezhou Heavy Machinery Group, Wang Fatzi's real estate company was soon successfully listed on the main board, making it instantly sit on hundreds of millions of funds. Otherwise, relying on his unpopular bullshit leather bag company, he won't know the taste of a listed company until he dies. ”
"These bastards, aren't they afraid of God's punishment if they devour the people's fat and ointment so unconscionable?" Qi Tianxiang was completely angry, he was a little angry, gritted his teeth and said: "People are doing it, the sky is watching, this is what the old man often says, sooner or later one day will make them pay the price, and he is afraid that he will not be killed." ”
"The so-called feng shui takes turns, the world is unpredictable, all the constraints have been successfully solved, and all the obstacles have been removed, the branch factory has also been relocated, and the six buildings have begun to enter the demolition stage. For real estate development and the huge benefits it generates, Tian Weiren pays more attention to the shaping of the image, that is, the role of feathers, at the beginning of his tenure to plan the use of this land, and later after fornication and exchange, forced Wang Fatzi to give up the real estate development of the branch plot, and also gave up the six buildings that have begun to move. Since the six buildings were dug up from the mountain, they were originally part of Longshan, and the office building was backed by Longshan under the guidance of a feng shui master, so everything in Longshan could not be moved, otherwise it would be unlucky to offend the gods of the earth. So the result is that the branch plot has become a 33-story office building and a brilliant square, while the family area behind it has become a chicken rib, and the road that could be walked before was also blocked by the building, so it had to go around the mountain. ”
As he spoke, Wang Shi'an slowed down the car, exhaled slowly, and said indignantly: "The ancients still had the wisdom of letting three feet and not blocking the way of others, and our magnates have even lost this minimum of benevolence and righteousness. ”
Qi Tianxiang looked at the situation outside the car window, looked at the slowly narrowing road, and gradually clicked up, so he asked curiously, "Is it almost there?" ”
"Yes, in the past, you can come here directly from the East Heavy Machinery Road, but now the East Road is only cut off from the square and the office building, and the access here can only be detoured from the West Road, and this road has not been repaired for a long time, that is, the residents of these buildings go in and out, and no one cares." Wang Shi'an looked intently at the road and could only answer simply.
Soon the car turned into a courtyard gate with difficulty, Wang Shi'an lowered the speed of the car, walked forward for a while, left the road, drove to the front of a building and stopped, turned his head and said to Qi Tianxiang apologetically: "I can only drive here, and it is even more difficult to walk ahead." ”
"That's it! What do you think of the employees? Qi Tianxiang slowly opened the car door, and when he was about to get out of the car, he suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Find a small shop nearby to sell something, it's not good to be empty-handed!" ”
"Don't worry! I'm ready, I won't embarrass you, Secretary Qi. Wang Shi'an sighed at Qi Tianxiang's carefulness, and seemed to have thought that he would say this, so he added with a smile: "Let's go to Master Huang's house today, he is my senior brother, both of them have been laid off, and my daughter is now working in the group, which is more representative." ”
After saying that, he got out of the car, walked to the rear of the car and opened the trunk, and took out a barrel of oil, a bag of rice, a box of wine, and two cigarettes by the faint light of the trunk. It seems that he was also prepared in advance, and it was prepared according to the use.
Qi Tianxiang leaned over and took a look, the wine was about a dozen yuan or so, and the cigarettes were also ordinary cigarettes of dozens of yuan. I originally wanted to ridicule a few words, but suddenly I figured it out, and I also appreciated Wang Shi'an's meticulousness and thoughtfulness, and it seemed that he was really wrong about the fiery and kindness in his heart to be able to consider the taste and use of the gift so carefully.
"They are all senior brothers, and they usually come and go frequently, knowing each other's habits, he can't enjoy good cigarettes and drinks, but it makes him feel the pressure of being favored by others." Wang Shi'an looked at Qi Tianxiang and explained with a smile.
"Lao Wang, you are really a person with a heart." Qi Tianxiang wanted to say something more, but he felt that his throat was a little blocked, so he silently reached out and took the oil and rice bag, and followed Wang Shi'an slowly.
Several buildings are arranged horizontally in two rows, three in a row, the road is between the two rows, talking about the road, but relative to the ground in front of the building, it has not been renovated for a long time, potholes, no street lights, a dull gray in the night, large and small electric tricycles are parked on both sides of the road, as well as vans, the more you go inside, the denser you go.
"The road is not easy to walk, you should be careful." Wang Shi'an walked in front of him, looking back at Qi Tianxiang from time to time, reminding him carefully.
"Why are there no street lights?" Qi Tianxiang didn't talk about the road, only the street lights, because he also knew that such a question didn't make any sense, just to respond to Wang Shi'an's words.
"When I was forced to move, the street lights were stopped, and the water and electricity were also stopped, and then the area was no longer considered, and the workers made a few troubles, and the water and electricity were finally restored, but the street lights were never lit again." Wang Shi'an let out a long sigh and sighed deeply: "It's so difficult for ordinary people to do something, no one cares about it, either pushing, blocking, or dragging, who treats them as relatives!" ”
Qi Tianxiang listened to Wang Shi'an's words, he didn't answer for a long time, and he didn't know how to answer, the facts were in front of him, and he said that everything was empty and powerless, and there was no meaning, so he could look at the road under his feet sullenly.
"It's almost there, it's ahead." Perhaps feeling that his words deeply hurt Qi Tianxiang's face, Wang Shi'an hurriedly explained.
"When you get to Master Huang's house in a while, you won't introduce my identity, and it's convenient to listen to the truth if you don't say it." Qi Tianxiang said slowly, for fear that Wang Shi'an would misunderstand, so he laughed at himself and said, "What's more, this dress is not suitable." ”
Wang Shi'an didn't speak, just continued to walk carefully, followed the cement road paved between the two floors, walked to the end of the building, stood at the door of the unit, looked at Qi Tianxiang who came up and said, "It's here, the second floor of the first unit." ”
Walked to the front of the residential building, with the light from the residents' homes, it was much brighter than just now, Qi Tianxiang looked at the dotted lights of the three-story building that was not high, and knew that there were not many residents here, and suddenly seemed to have found something at a glance, and looked at the plastic sheeting or paper on the windows of the room with the lights on in amazement, and asked puzzledly: "Why are there no windows?" Can people still live in such a house? ”
"You'll find out if you ask my senior brother later." Wang Shi'an said helplessly, his expression could not be seen in the dark, but it must be gloomy and ugly.
"The corridor is dark and a little steep, you should be a snack." Wang Shi'an instructed Qi Tianxiang, took the lead to go up to the second floor, turned a few steps left and walked to the door of a house, knocked lightly on the door a few times, and shouted loudly: "Senior brother, open the door." ”
"It's Shi'an! As soon as you hear the voice, you know it's you. With the words, the door opened, and a sturdy figure walked out, laughing, and suddenly saw Qi Tianxiang standing behind Wang Shi'an, who was busy reining in his casual demeanor, and hurriedly let in: "Please come in, please come in." ”
"Excuse me, Master Huang." Qi Tianxiang politely took the lead in walking into the door, walked through the narrow corridor of the kitchen, entered the house, and was immediately stunned by the cramped scene in the house, standing at the door and not knowing what to do.
"I'm really embarrassed to see that there is no place to stay in this house." Master Huang walked in quickly, hurriedly took the cooking oil and rice bag in Qi Tianxiang's hand, and shouted to Wang Shi'an: "Shi'an, hurry up and find a place for the guests to sit." ”
"I haven't been in and out yet!" Wang Shi'an stood outside and teased, "They are all friends, not so particular." ”
"yes, yes, not so much." Wang Shi'an's words appropriately relieved Qi Tianxiang, which made him feel embarrassed quickly, and slowly walked into the house a little, and sat down on a small square stool in the corner of the room, which was no longer so cramped, and his expression was more natural.
There are not many such scenes Qi Tianxiang has encountered in his experience, and the house is small and cramped, but such a house, such a furnishing, I really haven't experienced it in the past few years.
The room is estimated to be twelve square meters in size, there is a single bed against the wall, which occupies a large part of the room, the top of the single bed is a desk placed against the wall, basically half of the position is gone, the head of the bed is the stool of the desk, the top of the desk is an old-fashioned color TV, next to it is an old-fashioned three-door wardrobe, a wall is also full, next to the big wardrobe is a pair of old-fashioned sofas, the old ones can no longer see the original color, and there are several large and small boxes on the sofa, In the middle of the house, there is a small square table, which seems to be where the family usually eats, and there are several small square stools around the square table. Maybe it's time to prepare for dinner, usually the small square table is folded up, so that there is still a place to turn around in the room, and there is a closed door on the right hand side of the door, it is estimated that it may be a bedroom, looking at the situation outside, maybe there will not be much room left for a large bed. According to Wang Shi'an's introduction, the inner room may be the bedroom of Master Huang's old couple, the single bed in the outer room belongs to his daughter, and the desk may also once belong to his daughter, but now it has become exclusive to the TV.
"What about sister-in-law and Xiaoping? Haven't closed the stall yet? Wang Shi'an saw Qi Tianxiang looking at the furnishings of the room intently, so he shouted and talked to Master Huang, who was pouring water in the kitchen, distracting Qi Tianxiang's attention, "What kind of delicious food do you prepare for the two of them at night?" ”
"What can be delicious, flatbread and pickles and soup, health and stomach protection." As he spoke, Master Huang walked in with two cups of tea, carefully placed the tea cup on the small table with a smile, and then handed it to Wang Shi'an, and said dissatisfiedly: "Every time I come back, I buy this and that, how much does it cost a month!" If you have money to burn, what about poverty alleviation, why don't you send me money directly every month, can't I buy it myself? ”
"Senior brother understands that it is difficult to be so open-minded and not want to live a long life." Wang Shi'an looked at Qi Tianxiang meaningfully, and grabbed the senior brother with a smile, "If you give you money, will you buy it, it's not to help this junior brother, or to treat someone, I feel distressed." ”
"It's useless for you to feel distressed, you don't need to worry about my affairs, just take care of your own business." Master Huang glared at Wang Shi'an, and explained to Qi Tianxiang with a smile, "The two of us have been brothers for many years, the dog skin socks are not right, and we are used to talking, don't mind." As he spoke, he looked at Wang Shi'an and asked puzzledly, "Who is this ......?" ”
"A friend of mine, who works in the province, was together in the afternoon, and when he heard that I was coming to see you, he wanted to come and have a look." Wang Shi'an remembered Qi Tianxiang's reminder, looked at Master Huang and said seriously: "Guests, is it difficult to make us make soup with bread and pickles?" ”
