Chapter 020 Coming to Xianglin Again

Madianzi is one of the areas with the largest concentration of family members of industrial factories and mining enterprises in Huanglong City, which is densely populated with more than 60% of the city's state-owned industrial enterprises, with more than 100 absolute numbers and more than 10 large state-owned enterprises. Aigong Road, Baogong Street, Weigong Road, Light Industry Street, Heavy Industry Street...... Most of the streets here are named after the word "gong". When Li Zhengfeng and his four or five cars entered the place, the small traders and passers-by on both sides got out of the way and looked at them with strange eyes, and some small traders selling huāsheng, walnuts, melon seeds, fruits, etc., began to pack up their things and hurriedly ran away. Some hair salon girls in the hair salon were munching melon seeds to greet customers, and when they saw them, they also entered the house and closed the door.

"Find a spacious place on the side of the road and park the car, you just wait here, and the car won't go inside." Li Zhengfeng asked the driver Xiao Cao to park the car and got out of the car with his secretary Hei Xinsheng.

At this time, Sun Gangzheng's car, which was leading the way in front, saw Li Zhengfeng and their car stopped, so they also stopped their car. Sun Gangzheng hurriedly ran over and said, "Governor Li, why don't you go forward, is there something wrong?" ”

"Let's take a walk among the workers and take a look, don't become a nuisance!" At this time, the other people in the car also gathered around, and Li Zhengfeng said to everyone, "Let's park the car in this place, let's walk inside!" ”

In fact, in Li Zhengfeng's heart, he has always thought that this is a place full of glory and dreams, he does not want to disturb the peaceful and harmonious atmosphere here too much, and he also wants to find the calm and fulfilling memories of his former life here. Everything here hadn't changed much from what he remembered for more than a decade, except for a few more temporary two- or three-story buildings for restaurants or other shops, and the roadside bungalows seemed to be more low and cramped than they had been. The big red lantern hung by a restaurant during last year's Chūn festival was broken but still not taken down, and was blown and screamed in the cold wind. The remnants of snow on the ground had accumulated into a thick layer of ice, which had melted wet under the early chūn sun, and the leather shoes felt hard and hard when stepped on, and the soles of the feet were a little awkward. The warmth of a trace of memory that had just slipped through Li Zhengfeng's heart was suddenly frozen by the cold wind. He is deeply aware that the old industrial enterprises here have paid a huge price for the reform of the country for more than 20 years, but now all this is like the cold wind of an old fù person in the early chūn luǒlù out of her shriveled xiōng chamber.

Li Zhengfeng walked forward surrounded by everyone, and suddenly heard someone next to him shouting: "Zheng...... Zhengfeng, Governor Li! ”

Li Zhengfeng turned his head to see that it was Master Zhou Dajiang, who he saw last night, and hurriedly stopped and greeted enthusiastically: "Master Zhou, what are you doing here?" ”

"Today, my granddaughter starts school, and I will pick her up from school." Zhou Dajiang was holding an eight- or nine-year-old girl who looked very dexterous, he lowered his head and said, "Tingting, call Uncle Li!" ”

"Uncle Lee, Uncle Lee!" The little girl replied very obediently.

"Tingting, tell Uncle what grade he is in?" Li Zhengfeng laughed, squatted down and asked.

"Third grade."

"Master Zhou, the leaders of the city and I want to take a look at the home where everyone lives, can you show us the way?" Li Zhengfeng did not hide anything, and his words were also very straightforward, "I have been away from here for more than ten years, and I am afraid that I can't remember many roads clearly, and other comrades are not very familiar with the situation. ”

"Yes, yes, who do you want to do?"

"This area is the living area of the families of the employees of the original state-owned enterprises, and we want to find a few households to walk around the house, talk to everyone, and see how the workers live." Li Zhengfeng thought about the life scene of the original living here, and pulled up the parents while walking forward with Zhou Dajiang, "I remember that when I lived in the bungalow, everyone casually visited the door, and everyone knew who had something and what guests came." ”

"yes, yes, everybody's basically the same now." Zhou Dajiang confessed while walking, "After I retired, I often talked to people in the street about their parents, and with the habit of doing trade union work, I know the basic situation of the people nearby." ”

Li Zhengfeng walked forward with Zhou Dajiang, and also pulled his little granddaughter and asked casually: "Tingting, how are you studying?" How many points did you get in the last semester's exams? ”

"Tǐng, I was fifth in the class when I was at my worst!"

"Really? Tingting is really good, then, what are you going to do when you grow up? ”

"Guess what?" Xiao Tingting blinked and laughed, looking weird.

"Then Uncle will guess." Li Zhengfeng also pretended to be serious, "Be a scientist? Cosmonaut? Teacher? Doctor? …… Or a movie star? Singer? ”

Xiao Tingting kept shaking her head.

"What do you want to do? Uncle couldn't have guessed! Li Zhengfeng honestly "admitted defeat" and said.

"I ...... I don't want to do anything you say. Xiao Tingting glanced at Li Zhengfeng with innocent eyes, "Those who do it all have to go to college." My mother said that even if I was admitted to university, I would not have the money to study. I thought, when I graduate from junior high school, I won't go to school, and I'm going to be a young lady. Xiao Tingting's eyes widened, and her hands were gesturing, "Aunt Nana in the neighborhood won't go to school before finishing middle school, and when you become a young lady, you don't have to work hard like your mother but can't make money, and you don't have to work hard to make a lot of money when you are a young lady, buy a lot of new clothes, and use a lot of cosmetics or something......"

Li Zhengfeng was dumbfounded, and his head was dizzy. Growing up to be a young lady, this is the ideal of a little girl who grew up in a worker's family. The people around me are also looking at me, I look at you, looking at each other, I don't know what expression I should use to face this child, she obviously doesn't even understand the meaning of "Miss".

"What nonsense the little girl's family is talking about!" Zhou Dajiang watched his granddaughter say such things in front of a large group of people, and he was suddenly angry and afraid, and he stretched out his hand and wanted to beat the child.

Li Zhengfeng hurriedly grabbed Zhou Dajiang, "Tong Yan is unscrupulous, why should Master Zhou be angry!" This is all the result of the child's influence on the bad social atmosphere, she is still young, she does not know the situation inside, and it is good to pay attention to strengthening education in the future. After speaking, he hurriedly changed the topic, "Master Zhou, when we met last night, I seemed to hear you say that your son and daughter-in-law were laid off, what's going on?" Doesn't the state have a policy that it can't arrange for husbands and wives to be laid off at the same time! ”

Zhou Dajiang sighed and said: "My son used to work in Huanggong, but the original large state-owned enterprises with more than 12,000 people have only left more than 1,000 people after the joint venture with foreign businessmen, and the vast majority of them have been laid off. Our family is not like most people, even if you don't want to be laid off, you will stay at home on a long vacation, and you don't have a penny of salary. Daughter-in-law fù, originally worked in a grain, oil and food company, belonged to a large collective, a few years ago the unit was not good and returned home, first as a nanny as a housekeeper to watch a bicycle or something, and then went back to her old job, and now she is still buying vegetables in the vegetable market. The most bitter thing is that there is nothing left after my daughter-in-law is a worker in a large collective, who has been laid off. They are not like laid-off workers in state-owned enterprises, who can still get a little resettlement fee according to the policy even if the unit fails. ”

Zhou Dajiang didn't seem to have too much resentment about this, and continued in a very calm tone, "We are old party members and have done trade union work, so we should think more about the country and the enterprise." Although Grandma Zeng has no job herself, she can let Jianguo take the initiative to lay off to support the development of state-owned enterprises, and my wife and I have a pension of nearly 1,000 yuan together, so we should think more about the country. ”

Li Zhengfeng said movingly: "Thank you Master Zhou for understanding the difficulties of the country and enterprises!" He turned to Sun Gangzheng and Guo Changling behind him, "The state has a policy that it cannot arrange for the husband and wife to be laid off at the same time, and your city and enterprises should pay attention to this problem." The masses understand the difficulties of the state and enterprises, and we and the enterprises must understand the family difficulties of the masses of workers. ”

"We will consider solving the situation of Master Zhou's family as soon as possible!" Guo Changling, who was next to him, hurriedly replied.

"Governor Li, in recent years, most of the employees of the old state-owned enterprises living in Madianzi have had a difficult life, especially the laid-off workers are too miserable!" Zhou Dajiang glanced at the other leaders in the city who followed Li Zhengfeng and Guo Changling, the party secretary of Huang Gong, and seemed to have the courage from his heart, "Since Governor Li wants to take a walk around the homes of the workers of state-owned enterprises, we don't have to deliberately choose, just go from the alley in front of us to go inside." ”

"Okay, okay, let's just walk around and see!"

Li Zhengfeng and the others continued to walk forward, and saw rows and rows of mahjong tables on the side of the road, each row with less than seven or eight tables, and more than a dozen tables. Most of these people who play mahjong are middle-aged, mainly men, and four men and women are playing in the cold wind at a table, and there are many people watching around them.

"It's not easy to find a stable job now, even if you do odd jobs. At present, people from the rural areas have done some of the laborious work, and even if these laid-off workers are allowed to do it, most of them will not be able to do it when they are old. Let's do business, the kind that needs to fix the façade and stalls, the investment is too large, plus this tax and that tax, in a city like Huanglong City, where consumption is very low, many laid-off workers have tried to do it, and most of them have lost money. Besides, the laid-off workers of state-owned enterprises are too honest to do it, and ordinary people can't do it, and even if they do, they can't make a lot of money. Many people can't find a job, they play mahjong when they have nothing to do, and they can't afford too high-end entertainment. However, the lottery they bring is not large, which is usually the bottom of five máo coins. ”

Zhou Dajiang looked at the people playing mahjong on the side of the road and introduced the situation to Li Zhengfeng and them, "At first, I also had a lot of opinions about them playing like this, but after thinking about it carefully, they can't find a suitable job, so they have to have a place to pass the boring time." Many families, because the husband and wife are laid off, the salary is very small when they go to work, and they are often not in a good mood, and they often quarrel together. If you come here to play, maybe it will be better than staying at home, and save yourself too much humiliation. Hi, we are here, there have been too many divorces in recent years, and almost half of the families are incomplete. ”

Li Zhengfeng and the others looked at the crowd playing mahjong next to them, their mood was heavy for a while, and no one expressed any opinions. Li Zhengfeng suddenly thought of Director Xiao who called him yesterday, as if Director Xiao was the strictest against gambling, if he knew about the "gambling" of laid-off workers here in Madianzi, I don't know how he would feel? Anyway, Li Zhengfeng's feeling is a little changed now, it turns out that people regard playing mahjong as a gambling thing, which should be cracked down or restricted. Today, the leaders of these provinces and cities, after listening to Zhou Dajiang's words, seem to feel that this kind of mahjong without many colorful heads should also be forgiven-

Xiong Zhijian's car left Huanglong City and ran northeast for nearly 30 axioms, then turned to a small road on the left. The road is narrow, only about four meters wide, and if a car is coming from the opposite side, you have to be very careful not to drive wrong. Judging from the road conditions of the small road, it can be repaired soon. The trail winds up and down the hillside, through dense groves. Suddenly, the field of view widened to a large expanse of water lying flat on the slope of a small hill full of trees.

The car crossed a 20-meter-long cement bridge built in a not too wide part of the river, went up the hill on the opposite side of the river, and stopped at a small open square after going up and down. The small square is surrounded by various huā altars and statues of both Eastern and Western sès, and in the middle is a rockery with four large characters spelled out in máo font, "Pinghu Courtyard". Along a sidewalk and more than 100 meters ahead, you can vaguely see rows of white and black two- and three-story buildings, which are very Jiangnan under the background of the surrounding water. At the far end is a newly built European-style building, behind which is a white spherical building built against the mountain. Everything here seems very secluded, and if it is not winter, it must be a good place to be full of fragrant gardens.

"Chairman Xiong, I didn't expect you to have such a good place in Huanglong City, with mountains, rivers and scenery, not bad!" Jia Jingyin couldn't help but praise.

"If Professor Jia thinks this place is good, he will stay for a few more days, in that case, I am very honored to bear someone!" Xiong Zhijian warmly invited.

"Why, this place is also Chairman Xiong's treasure?" Jia Jingyin asked a little puzzled.

"It can't be said to be a treasure land, even if it's a house! Professor Jia is here, and I, Xiong Zhijian, have a sense of brilliance. This is a courtyard that I built myself, and my friends or I will usually arrange to live here when we come to Huanglong City in the future. This is my own home, and it will be Professor Jia's home in the future. Xiong Zhijian said, and took one of Jia Jingyin's hands, "Let's go, Professor Jia, the car in front can't get in, so I can only ask you to move your feet!" ”

"Chairman Xiong, that's so polite." Jia Jingyin suddenly felt in his heart that Xiong Zhijian, a person who did not have much culture, had in his bones the cuteness and simplicity that the people in his life circle did not have, and he felt very relaxed without the shackles of hypocrisy.

Xiong Zhijian and Jia Jingyin, accompanied by everyone, walked arm in arm along the cement path of the small hillside for more than 100 meters, and when they came to the top of the small hillside, they saw a large area of open flat land, dozens of acres, and a red lacquered gate appeared in front of them not far away. Crossing the thick threshold, four little girls on both sides of the gate wearing corsets and broken huā skirts were already kneeling to meet them, muttering: "Ladies and gentlemen, auspicious! ”

Jia Jingyin's footsteps slowed down when he saw this scene, and he wanted to reach out to help them up, but Xiong Zhijian pulled him and said at the same time: "Professor Jia, please, please!" Jia Jingyin said in his heart, this kind of title is really rare now, kneeling is only seen on TV, Xiong has some special hobbies, but don't say it, tǐng has feelings.

Entering the hall, the decoration inside is really magnificent, not only the style of modern decoration, but also the elegance of the ancient Chinese architectural decoration style. Although the temperature outside was more than ten degrees below zero, inside the hall it was as warm as a chūn day. I saw four beautiful girls of seventeen or eighteen years old dressed in white sè gauze and a woman with an elegant temperament in her thirties in pink sè gauze clothes waiting for their arrival.

Xiong Zhijian introduced to Jia Jingyin: "This is the manager of our hospital, Miss Jin Jingrou. ”

The woman didn't wait for Xiong Zhijian to speak, and said, "This must be Professor Jia?" ”

Jia Jingyin looked at this woman, his face was a little red, his breathing was a little short, and he muttered, "My Jia Jingyin, Jia Jingyin." When he was about to stretch out his hand to shake hands with the woman named Jin Jingrou, Jin Jingrou did not stretch out his hand, but gave him a blessing like an ancient woman. This action made Jia Jingyin at a loss, so he had to put his feet together and bow deeply to Jin Jingrou.

At this time, I saw four little girls immediately run in front of Jia Jingyin, two of them walked forward with Jia Jingyin on one side, the other had already run to the front and opened the door of the reception room, and the other was like an actor on the stage who made a very beautiful gesture, bowed deeply at the same time, and read in his mouth: "Professor Jia, Brother Xiong, two please-" The woman in the pink sè gauze had walked lightly in front of Xiong Zhijian and took his arm.

After entering the glorious living room of the lamp wall, everyone sat down separately, and Xiong Zhijian then asked: "Professor Jia, there is still a period of time before noon, and the food in the kitchen is not ready yet, shall we drink tea while chatting?" ”

"Chairman Xiong, since you have arrived at your house, you can naturally take care of the host!" Jia Jingyin didn't know what kind of fame Xiong Zhijian, an upstart in the Pinghu Courtyard, was, so he had to say this.

"Our Miss Jin Jingrou has studied various tea ceremonies in the world in many areas, and has prepared three kinds of tea ceremonies, including African ancient ecological tea, Japanese geisha hot spring tea, and Athens city-state style tea, I don't know what kind of tea Professor Jia wants to drink!" Xiong Zhijian finished the introduction, but Jia Jingyin was also a little confused, he had heard some tea ceremony, but he had never heard of tea being classified like this.

"I've been to both Japan and Greece, but that part of Africa is too backward and I've never wanted to go there. However, I haven't heard of what kind of tea the ancient Africans drank to! Jia Jingyin brushed his white hair and said in a very puzzled tone, "Otherwise, how about we drink some ancient ecological tea from your Africa and experience the taste of a very primitive and backward Africa?" ”

"Since Professor Jia said it, let's experience it together!" Xiong Zhijian said, turning around and looking at Jia Jingyin's assistant Lin Meiyu and Xiangdong Group's public relations minister Xu Limin, who came with them, "Are the two young ladies going to experience it together?" ”

Not only Lin Meiwei has never heard of any "African Ancient Ecological Tea", but Xu Limin of Xiangdong Group has also heard of this kind of tea for the first time. Lin Meiyu said very curiously: "Since Boss Xiong is so gracious, of course I am very willing to experience it!" ”

Xu Limin, who was next to her, did not answer. As the public relations minister of Xiangdong Group, Xu Limin also wants to experience it from the bottom of her heart, but she has to decide her choice according to the departure or stay of the female guest Lin Meiyu who accompanies her.

At this time, the four little girls walked in front of Xiong, Jia, Lin, and Xu, and led them to four different rooms with the word "please", which made the four of them wonder: What should be done to drink tea so much? ——

After walking more than ten meters in front of him, he turned left into an alley, and Zhou Dajiang knocked on the door sign that said, "The first bungalow on Xingfu Road, the door is opened by a man in his fifties."

"Bangning, Governor Li and the leaders of the factories in the province and city came to visit your home, and you can introduce the situation in your family!" Zhou Dajiang said to the man who opened the door.

The man named Bangning didn't seem to understand for a while, and when he saw Guo Changling, he was stunned for a while before saying, "Secretary Guo, you guys are here, there are patients at home, and the air is not very good." ”

The family kept the small courtyard relatively clean, and it was two 12 or 3 square meter bungalows. Li Zhengfeng didn't scruple about anything, so he followed the man named Bangning into the room on the east side, and the other main leaders also followed, and the rest of the people had to wait outside. In the chuáng, an old man in his seventies was lying down, and his wife was sitting next to the chuáng, but he didn't seem to be in good health. An old-fashioned color TV was playing TV series in the room, and the one named Bonning was busy turning off the color TV.

At this time, Guo Changling introduced: "At this time, Qian Bangning, a worker of our yellow workers, was a laid-off worker. Bonning was laid off mainly because his father was paralyzed in Chuáng, and his mother's health was not very good, and the family needed to be taken care of. His lover is also from our unit, a ** member, a model worker in the city, and now serves as the chairman of the labor union in the workshop, working in the new company after our joint venture. Saying that, Guo Changling glanced at Qian Bangning, wanting to remind something, "Comrade Bangning, although you have been laid off and there are difficulties at home, don't be polite, you can talk to the unit if you have any problems!" ”

Qian Bangning said sneeringly at this time: "Thank you for the leader's concern." My wife, Yùlan, is very grateful to be able to stay in the unit and work, and our family is very grateful. My family can earn six or seven hundred yuan a month, which is also paid by more than 3,000 people who have been laid off. I am very supportive of our family Yùlan doing a good job in the factory, but even then we feel uneasy. My dad used to work in Huanggong, and now he is retired and has a pension of more than 600 yuan. My mom didn't have a job and was always a family girl. The elderly in our family are sick and need someone to take care of them, and besides, the situation of my family is not too bad in the Huang factory, so I have no complaints if I am laid off. ”

"Why don't you send the old man to the hospital when he is sick?" Li Zhengfeng asked.

"I've been sick for more than six years. Again...... Besides, the cost of medicine and hospitalization is so expensive, and I can't afford to go to the hospital, and I don't have too much money to throw in it! The old man on the chuáng replied weakly.

At this time, Sun Gang, who was on the side, was busy introducing: "This is Governor Li, come to visit your old man!" ”

"Huh? What, governor, after so many years, there are very few people in the family, let alone big leaders. Thank you, Governor Lee, thank you! After speaking, the old man burst into tears.

"Old man, take care!" Li Zhengfeng hurriedly sat down a little closer and comforted.

"Good, good ......" the old man on the sick chuáng said no more.

When Li Zhengfeng and the others left the family, Qian Bangning, who was sent to the door, said: "Leaders, I would like to give you a word: Our generation, Qing Chūn dedicated to the party, was laid off in middle age, and there is no one to support him when he is old." ”

Li Zhengfeng comforted: "Comrade Qian Bangning, don't be too pessimistic! At present, there are indeed many problems in the reform and development of our society, but you must believe that all kinds of problems will be solved along with the development of society. Especially now that the country is adjusting its policies, and now our goal is to revitalize the old industrial areas in Northeast China, led by the prime minister himself, Comrade Xiao Chen, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, will take charge of it, and the prime minister will not say it, Comrade Xiao Chen is a rare young generation of leading comrades in our country, and he is very insightful and courageous in grasping reform, and I believe that these problems will be solved one by one and step by step. ”

Coming out of "No. 1 Xingfu Road", next to it is "No. 2 Xingfu Road". Zhou Dajiang said to Li Zhengfeng: "The man in this family was originally from the Huang Factory, but later he was laid off on his own initiative and now works for the Sī people. Aren't we going to have to go in? ”

"We don't have any clear goal to come today, just to take a look at the homes of the residents of this old industrial area, and we don't necessarily have to go to the homes of the workers of the Yellow Factory!" Li Zhengfeng replied.

Zhou Dajiang began to knock on the door, and after a while, there was no movement, and when they were about to walk away, the door opened, and a young man in his thirties walked out, "Master Zhou, you are here." Yo, there are so many people, let's go inside and sit! After listening to Zhou Dajiang's introduction, the young man was taken aback, and then he should not be hospitable and bold in the Northeast, and he was very enthusiastic: "The provincial and municipal leaders are here, what a rare guest, please go to the house!" ”

Entering the family's house, Li Zhengfeng saw that the situation of their family was much better than the previous one, and there was a 29-inch color TV and fabric sofa in the house, which looked like they had just been bought. The young man wanted to pour water for everyone, but was stopped by Li Zhengfeng, "You're welcome, let's go to the house to have a look and talk, because we have to go to other people's homes to see." I heard that you also spent time in the Huang Factory, and then you took the initiative to lay off, how is the situation now? ”

The young man began to talk endlessly: "My name is Liu Xiaoshan, born in 67, I have worked in Huanggong for more than ten years, junior college, and I took the initiative to ask for a layoff buyout. In 1996, when Huang Factory encouraged people to find their own way out, I was reluctant to work in Huang Factory for a long time, feeling that the interpersonal relationships in Huang Factory were too complicated, and there was basically no room for personal development without special relationships. To put it bluntly, I have achieved self-employment many times, both in the Sī camp and in foreign-funded enterprises. At first, I found a design job in an advertising agency through the talent market, and I was satisfied with it, but then I decided that there was not much to learn there, so I withdrew in 2000. After that, Huang Factory asked me to come back and rearrange my work, and I came back, and the salary was still five or six hundred, although I was not satisfied, I still worked in order not to be fired. This time, Huang Factory had a joint venture with foreign investors, and there were so many people in the factory, I didn't want to fight with everyone, so I took the initiative to buy it out. I am now engaged in the design and production of handicrafts, I belong to the sī people, I feel more satisfied, in line with my interests, the salary, the environment is also very good, I am currently preparing to buy a new house. ”

"You young man has courage, in fact, our country's reform and development for so many years has relied on a large number of people who dare to dare to do it!" Li Zhengfeng praised, and then asked, "You have worked in different enterprises for a short time, what are the different experiences of state-owned enterprises, private enterprises and foreign enterprises?" ”

"I've done five or six jobs, and I think the joint venture is better and the relationships are good. The treatment of private enterprises is relatively average, but some bosses do not respect their employees enough and are short-sighted. If I want to evaluate state-owned enterprises, I think that the current management methods of state-owned enterprises are too backward, and the laid-off of workers in state-owned enterprises is the trend of the times, because state-owned enterprises are not competitive, and their management methods are backward, and it is only a matter of time before they are eliminated by the market like the Huang factory. The young man said, paused for a moment, and then continued, "In fact, there is still a certain feeling of owner in a state-owned enterprise, and working for foreign and private enterprises is a part-time job, without any sense of belonging. The biggest problem in state-owned enterprises is the difficulty of interpersonal relationships, and I always have a kind of work in state-owned enterprises, which is not to focus more on work, but to engage in relationships and gangs. If it is said that state-owned enterprises talk about officialdom and not about the market, is this a bit too much? ”

"Thank you, young man, for your candor! We're going to take our leave now. After speaking, Li Zhengfeng shook hands with the young man and led everyone out.

Outside the door, Zhou Dajiang said: "The front is our house, did Governor Li and the leaders come to our house to have a look?" ”

Li Zhengfeng smiled, "Master Zhou, I have been to your house a few times, but I can't come here for more than ten years, of course I want to go to your house to have a look." However, just take a look, you can't stay longer! ”

When he entered the courtyard of Zhou Dajiang's house, he saw a middle-aged man about forty years old coming out of the house, Li Zhengfeng felt a little familiar, so he asked, "Is this the little steel of Master Zhou's family?" ”

"I'm Zhou Chenggang, thank you, Brother Li...... Governor Li, you remember me! After the middle-aged man came up, he held Li Zhengfeng's hand, "I have always wanted to go to the provincial capital with Jianguo to find you, and Aunt Zeng scolded us and did not allow you to make trouble." I discussed it with Jianguo, and he hasn't been able to go to you for fear of getting his mother angry! ”

"Xiaogang, do you know about the founding of the country when you come back? I heard that he called back from Jiangcheng yesterday. Li Zhengfeng knew that he had gone to Jiangcheng with Zeng Chūnfeng's son Jianguo, so he unceremoniously said what he had been too late to do, "I'm busy with work and don't have time, can you go to Jiangcheng, I must find a way to find Jianguo and cure him." If there is something that can't be done, I'll give you a few phone numbers, you can call them when you get to Jiangcheng, mention me and they will definitely help you. At the same time, Li Zhengfeng asked Hei Xinsheng to find a pen and paper to write down Zhou Chenggang's name, unit, and phone number.

"I'm about to go to Jiangcheng tomorrow, my dad just discussed it with me!" Zhou Chenggang said.

"When I left Huanglong City, you weren't married, and now your daughters are so old!" Li Zhengfeng patted Zhou Chenggang on the shoulder, "I heard that you have done many different jobs after being laid off, how do you feel?" ”

"To be honest, I still like to work in a state-owned enterprise. I have sweated and worked hard in the Huang factory, and even had a disability at work, but I have no regrets or complaints. We used to just do our part. Now the reform will let us go home, and we will not complain. ”

Zhou Chenggang moved, tears flashing in his eyes, "I can say that I was born in New China and grew up in the moving years, although I was not able to receive formal cultural and technical skills education. When I entered the factory, I was full of love and did socialism. At present, some people say that we are of low quality, do not have a scientific and cultural level, and have no technical skills, and cannot meet the needs of the knowledge-based economy, so we should be eliminated from the competition. It's hard for me to accept and agree with this, it's so unfair to people like us! Can our party and government really grasp the education of workers and workers, help us improve our quality as soon as possible, and raise our scientific, cultural, and technical skills? We also hope that the party and the government will make real efforts to take practical and effective measures to revitalize our state-owned enterprises, instead of just blindly selling them out and going bankrupt. Someone once said that this is actually 'the cub selling Yetian is not distressed'. Our country should not only provide preferential policies to support the development of foreign-funded enterprises and the non-public economy, but also hope that the state will also strengthen the management of state-owned enterprises, create conditions for the development of state-owned enterprises, and truly regard the vast number of workers as the masters of state-owned enterprises. We do not want to be forced to be employed by a company or a foreign-funded enterprise in the midst of hunger, cold, poverty and disease! The workers of our state-owned enterprises, as long as they can have a generally ordinary treatment with slightly better job opportunities, are willing to serve the state and will not be willing to endure the exploitation of all kinds of domestic and foreign capitalists! ”

"I have worked in the trade union for more than ten years, and the general feeling is that the political status of workers in state-owned enterprises has been declining in the past two decades or so of reforms." At this time, Zhou Dajiang also said, "The constitution stipulates that the working class is the leading class, but in reality it is impossible to do so. Especially in the current reform of state-owned enterprises, workers have no right to speak at all, and can only passively accept it. The plan for restructuring is mainly formulated by the leaders of the enterprise, and it is said that it is deliberated by the workers' congress, but in fact it is the leaders who have the final say, because the representatives of the workers' congress are not mainly leaders at all levels. Of course, it cannot be said that leaders at all levels are absolutely incapable of serving as workers' representatives, and the key is that the current leadership bureaucracy is prevalent and is seriously divorced from the masses of workers. If, as the Anshan Iron and Steel Constitution advocated by Chairman Máo in those years, we emphasize the combination of two participations, one reform, and three reforms, and fully embody the idea of democratic management, I think how can our state-owned enterprises not do well. I've heard that Japanese companies call the Angang Constitution the most advanced management model of our time! ”

"I seem to have heard of the Angang Constitution, but what is the specific content?" Hei Xinsheng asked.

"The Anshan Iron and Steel Constitution criticizes the bourgeois line of putting the economy and technology in charge and relying on a small number of experts to run enterprises, and emphasizes the proletarian line of implementing the party's leadership, adhering to the political leadership, and relying on the broad masses to run enterprises." Zhou Dajiang further explained, "Later, after further sorting, it boiled down to 'two participations, one reform, and three combinations', that is, cadres participate in production and labor, workers participate in enterprise management, reform irrational rules and regulations, and implement the integration of leading cadres, technical personnel, and workers in the reform and improvement of production, technology, and management." ”——

After Zhou Chenggang was laid off from Huanggong, he went to Jiangcheng with Tang Jianguo to work, but he returned to Huanglong City after working in Jiangcheng for less than half a year. When Zeng Chūn Fengxun's short-sighted incident happened, Zhou Chenggang's father, Zhou Dajiang, asked him to quickly find a way to inquire about Tang Jianguo's whereabouts. Zhou Chenggang once called Tang Jianguo's mobile phone many times, but he always encountered it turned off.

Yesterday afternoon, Tang Jianguo finally called him, from a landline, saying that he had called home, but somehow no one answered at home, did something happen? Zhou Chenggang didn't dare to tell Tang Jianguo that his mother was going to jump off the building after hearing about his situation, and he pretended not to hear about his illness, but only said that his mother was hospitalized, and when he saw that his wife was in a bad mood, he seemed to have cried, and then asked him when he would go back to Huanglong City, why did the phone call you call in the morning was turned off. Tang Jianguo said that he could not return to Huanglong City for the time being, and he lost his mobile phone and did not buy a new one, and he would tell him if there was a new number. Zhou Chenggang said that he planned to continue to work in Jiangcheng, and wanted to find him in Jiangcheng and asked him if he still lived in the same place? Tang Jianguo said that he had moved, and even if he lived now, he would have to move immediately, so it was inconvenient to tell him.

In fact, neither of them wanted to explain the real situation that the other party was going to ask, and they could only talk in secret. In the end, Tang Jianguo asked Zhou Chenggang if he could go to the hospital immediately, and he would call his mobile phone from the public phone in half an hour, and he had something to say to his mother, Zeng Chūnfeng.

When Zhou Chenggang heard this, he was very excited, that was great, his mother Zeng Chūn Feng wanted to jump off the building because he heard that he was seriously ill and wanted to commit suicide, if his mother Zeng Chūn Feng heard that he was not dead, then the old lady would have the courage to continue to live. Zhou Chenggang immediately rode a bicycle to the hospital and told the doctor that Tang Jianguo had not committed suicide.

As soon as the doctors who were participating in Zeng Chūnfeng's rescue heard that Tang Jianguo was not dead, the doctors felt that they should tell Zeng Chūn Feng the news and give this old man hope for his life. If it didn't happen, when Zeng Chūnfeng, who had been rescuing him on the sick chuáng, heard the news that his son Tang Jianguo was not dead, he immediately broke open his eyes. The doctor also reminded that Zeng Chūn Feng must be allowed to personally talk to Tang Jianguo on the phone, so that Zeng Chūn Feng can be sure that Tang Jianguo is not dead, otherwise Zeng Chūnfeng's condition may worsen.

When Zhou Chenggang called Tang Jianguo's phone number last time, the other party said that it was a public phone, and the caller had already left. There was no choice but to wait, and finally after waiting for more than a quarter of an hour, I finally looked forward to Tang Jianguo's call. When Zhou Chenggang heard that it was Tang Jianguo calling, he immediately put the phone in Zeng Chūnfeng's ear, and let Zeng Chūnfeng listen to Tang Jianguo's voice. After Zeng Chūn Feng heard Tang Jianguo's voice, he burst into tears. Zeng Chūn Feng didn't complain about Tang Jianguo, but just said softly, "Jianguo, come back!" Mom misses you. And there was no more word.

When Zeng Chūn Feng and Tang Jianguo talked on the phone, it was only more than two hours before a miracle happened to Zeng Chūn Feng, and her various physiological indicators quickly became normal. An old doctor with more than 40 years of medical experience said, "This is really a miracle in medicine!" ”

Zeng Chūnfeng's condition improved, and Tang Jianguo did not commit suicide, which made everyone temporarily comforted. But Tang Jianguo must have some incurable disease or something serious happened, otherwise he would never commit suicide easily, and the top priority is to find Tang Jianguo as soon as possible.

Last night, Zhou Dajiang and Zhou Chenggang, father and son, had been discussing how to find Tang Jianguo in Jiangcheng, but they felt that it would be easy to find a migrant worker in the huge Jiangcheng without a phone number and a detailed address. Today, I heard that Li Zhengfeng also asked him to go to Jiangcheng City to look for Tang Jianguo, and at the same time gave him the phone numbers of the two directors of the Jiangcheng City Public Security Bureau and the Civil Affairs Bureau, and said that he had already asked people to call them, Zhou Chenggang immediately decided to take a car to Jiangcheng in the afternoon to look for Tang Jianguo.

Zhou Chenggang did not accompany Li Zhengfeng and them to other people's homes to continue their visits, but returned home and prepared to rush to Jiangcheng City in the afternoon to find Tang Jianguo. Just as he was preparing to go to Jiangcheng, suddenly his mobile phone rang.

"Hey, Zhou Chenggang?"

"I am, who are you?"

"I'm Huang Gang's office, I heard that you have a good relationship with Tang Jianguo, and the two of you are in constant contact, can you help us go to Jiangcheng City and find Tang Jianguo?"

Zhou Chenggang was happy when he heard it, "Okay, good!" What time do you want to go? ”

"Can you come out now? How about we have some dinner together and then rush to Jiangcheng with the car? Is it convenient for you? ”

"Convenient, convenient, you can go at any time!"

"Well, where do you live? We send a car to pick you up. ”

"I live in the bungalow dormitory area of Huang Gong in Madianzi. It's not convenient for the car to come in here, or I'll wait for you at the intersection of Gangcheng Road! ”

"Okay, the car will be there in ten minutes."

"What's your last name? What do you call it? ”

"My surname is Zhao, and my name is Zhao Xiao. I can't go to Jiangcheng with you, but I can send someone to go with you, and all kinds of expenses will be paid by us Huanggang. Of course, if you do things for us, we Huanggang will pay you a certain amount. ”

Zhou Chenggang felt beautiful after hanging up the phone. went to Jiangcheng City to find his good friend Tang Jianguo, which was not only arranged by Executive Vice Governor Li Zhengfeng, but also Huang Gang sent a special car, and he also had to pay himself a reward, which also saved him the effort of running around looking for work. It's a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone.

At this time, Li Zhengfeng's mobile phone rang, Li Zhengfeng took out his mobile phone and looked at it, his face was positive, but he didn't deliberately avoid everyone, just answered the phone: "Hey? Director Xiao? ”

A young but rather calm voice came from inside, and the tone was very affectionate: "Lao Li, I've arrived at Heng Chūn, are you still in Huanglong?" How's it going? ”

"You've already arrived at Heng Chūn? …… The situation here, how to say, it's hard to explain. ”

"Oh? That's fine, in this case, I'll come over tomorrow, let's talk about it, okay? ”
