Zhao Guodong has not returned to his parents' house in Jiangmiao for a long time.

After arriving at the Department of Transportation, it was just in time for the completion of the last batch of new houses in the Department of Transportation, and the new houses should have been completed and delivered at the beginning of last year, but the leaders of the Department of Transportation were stewed in a pot to stop the entire project, and there were a lot of tricks involved in this batch of new housing projects, so the construction period was postponed indefinitely, and it was not until Cai Zhengyang took office that he pushed it again, and it was completed before the National Day.

Zhao Guodong naturally did not have the opportunity to participate in the allocation of new houses, but the Department of Transportation was not short of housing, and after the allocation of this batch of new houses, a lot of old houses were naturally vacated, and Zhao Guodong caught this shuttle bus and was assigned an old house.

The location of the old dormitory of the Department of Transportation is quite good, not far behind the office of the department, next to the famous Shallow Water Pool Park, a series of lakes like pearls embedded in the urban area, plus the surrounding bamboo forest, plus a famous Anzhou Gongyuan site, making this area the first choice for the office and residential area of the provincial government.

Zhao Guodong goes to work every day to walk all the way to the unit, and you can eat breakfast on the road without hurry, porridge, steamed buns, soybean milk, fritters, buns, rice noodles, noodles, everything, so that Zhao Guodong fully feels the comfort and convenience of working in the metropolitan area.

Since being transferred to the Department of Transportation, Zhao Guodong has only been back to Jiangmiao's house twice, and the two brothers Zhao Deshan and Zhao Changchuan have hardly returned home, and even Liu Cheng has only returned to Jiangmiao twice since he went to Canglang County, but fortunately, Zhao Lingshan is also reasonable, knowing that Liu Cheng is also busy with business, so he only runs to Pennsylvania once a month.

After October, the factory completely stopped production, so she simply went straight to Canglang County to live in the factory. Helping Liu Cheng with housework made Liu Cheng, who had already lost a lot of weight, a little easier, and the two brothers Zhao Deshan and Zhao Changchuan could taste their sister's craftsmanship as soon as they returned to the factory.

The whole textile factory was filled with a kind of anxious and noisy atmosphere, and the New Year was still a week away, and the few people who received the money did not bring back much cash, most of them were some vague promises, or a carload of inferior department stores that were meaningless to the workers.

This feeling was felt even more deeply when Zhao Guodong returned to the factory.

Although the old Zhao Tou and his wife were worried about the business situation in the factory, the return of the eldest son still made the old couple feel much better. Thinking about it, except for the fourth Zhao Yunhai, who is still studying in college, the other three sons are busy with their careers outside, and they can be regarded as successful in their careers, and the two of them are much more relieved.

"Gordon. I heard Lingshan say that your company has also been in a state of semi-shutdown for a period of time? Zhao Wangfu seems to be a little uneasy about his son, but more of a worry about his other two sons, Zhao Guodong knows his temperament, and he doesn't do anything he is not sure of.

Zhao Guodong sat on his old sofa at home. It is not as comfortable as the sofa in the office. But to change the furniture at home, Zhao Wangfu resolutely stopped it. Zhao Guodong understands his father's feelings. Just when the colleagues in the factory were worried about survival. Changing furniture at home will definitely attract a lot of criticism.

"Dad. The factory is semi-shut down over there, that's normal. As soon as March passes, the factory will enter a full resumption of production. After May, you will have to work overtime to produce. There are off-peak seasons. It's not the same thing as our textile factory. Zhao Guodong threw a bag of China to his old father. He saw his father frowning. I felt like I was making a mistake. In his father's eyes, Hongta Mountain is already a luxury. China is simply burning money.

Zhao Wangfu was indeed a little heartbroken. I heard that this kind of cigarette costs thirty or forty yuan a pack. Isn't this a roll of renminbi to be burned? But seeing his son's careless eyes. He also knew that he really couldn't keep up with the times. Silently tear off the plastic film and tin foil on the outside. Take out one and light it. It's almost the New Year. He also didn't want to sweep his son's land. What's more, his eldest son doesn't smoke either.

Liu Cheng and Ling Shan haven't been back for more than a month. I heard that they are over there and now they are mainly training employees. You also invited a lot of teachers to teach in your factory? Zhao Wangfu had nothing to say.

"Basic land vocational training. This is the minimum requirement of modern enterprises. Zhao Guodong nodded. Use the off-season to conduct this kind of short-term training. It can not only improve the skills of employees, but also help to develop the quality of employees. Strengthen employees' sense of identity and cohesion to the enterprise. ”

Zhao Guodong's set of terms made Zhao Wangfu feel emotional. Once upon a time, the eldest son, who was often beaten around by himself, can now solve his doubts in front of himself with a teacher-like attitude.

Zhao Guodong also noticed that his father seemed to be much older, especially in the past year, and it was obvious that the recession in the factory was the main reason for his father's emotional blow.

"Dad, the textile industry recession is also the general trend, with the adjustment of the national industrial policy, some emerging industries are gradually booming, some enterprises and countries will gradually withdraw, you have to see, you are more than fifty people, don't worry too much about these things, not to mention that now the country is also thriving, the rise and fall of an enterprise is also a normal process in the history of development for the country."

"I know too, but seeing so many old guys in the factory with such sad faces, how can I see the mood?" Zhao Wangfu sighed, "I know that you are knocking on a few younger brothers in our family, and Deshan and Changchuan can be regarded as taking the right path and making a difference, but what about the other old workers in the factory?" Some families are in the factory, so if it drags on like this, when will it end? ”

"The rise and fall of enterprises is normal, but the government will find ways to help solve the practical difficulties faced by the employees of enterprises, which is the responsibility of the government." Zhao Guodong comforted his father, "Dad, it seems that it is impossible for the factory to resume production for a while, so it is better for you and your mother to move to the city to find a place with a better environment to live, and you of this age should also take good care of your body and enjoy your happiness." ”

"I'm not going! This factory is familiar with the people, what am I going to do in the city?! Zhao Wangfu flatly refused, "Your mother won't go either!" ”

Seeing that his father had no room for negotiation, Zhao Guodong decisively gave up the dispute on this issue, the elderly have the ideas of the elderly, and imposing their own thinking on them will only cause countless troubles.

"You two masters are really, it's rare to meet, and you have to fight when you meet, can't you talk calmly?" Xu Xiuqin said strangely while taking off her apron.

"Mom, my dad and I didn't have any quarrels, we just talked about the situation in the factory." Zhao Guodong hurriedly explained, "What about Xu Wei? ”

"Hmph, it's not like I'm going to Dongtou Zhang's house, what's the use of being beautiful, now the factory can't afford to eat, Guodong, you come back and talk about Dawei, let him think about it." Xu Xiuqin obviously attaches great importance to her nephew's marriage.

"Oh, Xu Wei has found a partner?" Zhao Guodong laughed.

"Well, the second girl of Master He's family behind us also works in the factory, and Dawei is now obsessed with others, and when he returns to the factory, he runs to other people's houses, and sometimes even eats at other people's houses."

"Mom, do you think Dawei's conditions are very good? Rural hukou, and no formal job, other girls may not necessarily look down on him. Zhao Guodong couldn't help laughing, Xu Wei was not a migrant worker from the countryside a year ago, but now that he earns two dollars, his mother thinks that her nephew has a different identity, which is too realistic.

"What about the countryside? As long as you can make money, if you don't have a job in the city, it is better to have at least two acres of land in the countryside. Xu Xiuqin also felt that her statement was a little funny, if she wanted her family Zhao Lingshan to find a rural one, she would not agree to it.

As he was talking, Xu Wei pushed the door and came in, "Hey, Brother Guodong is back?" ”

"Well, I'm back, I was waiting for you to come home for dinner, but it seems that I can't wait, why did I go to He's house to eat again?" Zhao Guodong glanced at a figure behind him, and seemed to be dodging.

Xu Wei's face suddenly turned red, his aunt and uncle had already seen it, but now everyone in this family knows that what his aunt and uncle said is no longer counted, and this eldest brother has the final say, even his father who is far away in Nanhua's hometown has only one sentence, everything has to be decided by Zhao Guodong, including his own life's major affairs.

Seeing Xu Wei's dodgy gaze, Zhao Guodong naturally knew what was going on, "Dawei, the girls have come to the door, so you don't let others come in and sit down, I'm a tiger?" ”

"Hehe, no, I'm looking at Brother Deshan and Changchuan, are they back?" Xu Wei scratched his head, "He Qi, come in." ”

The figure outside the door finally came in, Zhao Guodong had no influence on the children in the factory, the little girl was beautiful, but her figure was a little thinner, and she looked even slimmer when she stood with Xu Wei, a stupid big man.

"He Qi, this is my country's brother Dong, brother, this is He Qi."

"Dawei, you beckon others to sit, don't be so restrained, I'm not a national leader." Zhao Guodong saw that the two of them looked cramped and uneasy, and he felt even more funny.

Zhao Guodong's attitude eased the tension of the two of them a lot, and Zhao Guodong also asked the little girl about the situation, how she met Dawei, and a little bit of meeting the parents. Although he couldn't see anything in a few words, Zhao Guodong still felt that the little girl was very simple and honest, and she was a good match for Xu Wei's temperament.

"Gordon, Kuodong!" The shouts outside the window liberated the family from a somewhat restrained atmosphere, and seeing Zhao Guodong nodding and signaling to go out, Xu Wei and the little girl were relieved.

It's been the last few days since the brothers' monthly pass was tied, and I have to fight too!
