Chapter 63: Strong
Zhou Xiaoan and the second uncle successfully got the evidence of the contact between Widow Ma and Han Dazhuang, and the Han family, who was far away in Peizhou, was facing the most serious crisis since the establishment of the family.
Old man Han's name is Han Kaishan, and his two sons are both underground workers in the Peizhou mine, although they work hard, they can get at least 60 or 70 yuan a month, and the grain index is more than that of the director of the mine.
In this year when everyone is hungry and dizzy, the family can occasionally eat a dry meal, which is already very good.
Otherwise, he would not have the ability to pay so much bride price for Han Dazhuang to marry Zhou Xiaoan.
But the good days are coming to an end.
Today, the mine officially issued a notice, and the positions of the Han family's father and son were all replaced.
If you want to ask the miners with collective hukou what they are most afraid of now, one is that they are afraid of being reduced to the countryside, and the other is that they are afraid of being transferred.
In order to alleviate the pressure on the food supply in the cities, the state has begun to reduce the urban population, and the targets are all collective hukou, and the citizens with urban hukou are not yet in the ranks.
Therefore, those miners whose families were burdened with heavy burdens and whose wages supported the whole family bore the brunt and were reduced back to the countryside in batches.
As for the transfer, this is something that has only slowly appeared in Peizhou Mine in recent years.
Built more than 100 years ago, Peizhou is the largest bonanza in North China, producing coal that supplies not only the entire province of B, but also large power stations in several nearby provinces.
In recent years, the coal produced in this vein, which is identified as a huge reserve, has become more and more abundant, especially this year, and it has reached the upper limit of mining. If this continues, the Peizhou mine will change from a rich mine to a poor mine or even a waste mine.
Coal gangue is the waste residue in coal, which is mined together with coal, and it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to separate it from coal.
With the change in the quality of coal, the mine had to divert some workers from the underground to do post-processing work.
The father and son of the Han family were among the divergent personnel, the old man Han was transferred to transport gangue, and the Han Dazhuang brothers were transferred to be coal preparers.
From the well to the well, although the work is not so hard, the salary and treatment are also very different.
As an underground worker, you can get at least 60 yuan a month, as well as a subsidy of half a catty of meat, half a catty of sugar, one catty of liquor, and four catties of fine grain, and the grain is also 42 catties a lot.
And when it comes to the well, there is only a salary of more than 30 yuan a month, without any subsidies, and the grain index of 30 catties a month is not much, not to mention the extra fine grain.
The Han family's hometown has a large family of parents and brothers who want to help, Han Erzhuang has not married a daughter-in-law yet, Han Xiaoshuang is about to get married, and he has promised his in-laws to buy three turns and one ring as a dowry, and he has to take care of Han Dashuang's family, the family has lost half of their income at once, and their lives are immediately stretched and into chaos.
Han Kaishan immediately went to find Han Dashuang's father-in-law Zhao Fengjiang, he was the director of the neighborhood committee, he was an official, and his face was wider than that of him, so he had to quickly beg him to think of a way.
He is old, and he can go to the well to do some light work to support the elderly, but his two sons can't come up.
The two sons are not brilliant (outstanding), the same temperament as wood, the eldest glass flower, the second son injured his leg in an underground accident, although the injuries of the two did not delay the work, but they did not look good. If you earn less, how will you be able to support your family in the future? Even if you marry a daughter-in-law, you can't keep it!
Besides, it's the time for the family to use money, and they can't all be transferred!
Zhao Fengjiang is very active in running for Han Kaishan, the Han family can take care of their daughter when they live well, and the grandsons of the Zhao family have not been less touched by the light of their grandmother's family over the years.
But no matter how many people he knew, there was no room for turning around in this matter.
The reason for them to be transferred is very sufficient, Han Kaishan's old age and physical strength have declined, and he is not suitable for underground work.
Han Dazhuang and Han Erzhuang are both disabled, Mrs. Han also came to the mine to make trouble with the labor union, and did not let her son go down the mine.
Han Kaishan didn't catch his breath, and he was almost about to scold his mother.
Mrs. Han came to the mine to make trouble, it was six or seven years ago, when Han Erzhuang was lame, and he came to make trouble for more subsidies, and there was a shortage of underground workers in the mine at that time, and it was just a threat to say that he could not go down.
It's been so many years before you want to meet the family's requirements? It's an excuse at first glance!
But this excuse is irrefutable.
Han Kaishan felt unusual.
It stands to reason that their family of three underground workers has to stay underground for the purpose of taking care of the workers' emotions.
But no matter how he thinks of it now, finding acquaintances, it won't help.
In the end, it was a section leader who usually drank with him that secretly grabbed him, "Don't bother, your grandfather's name has been recorded in Deputy Mine Manager Jiang's small notebook, and it can't be changed." ”
Han Kaishan broke out in a cold sweat.
Deputy Mine Director Jiang, who is in charge of tens of thousands of personnel in the whole mine, wants to transfer them to another post, and he is a coal blackman who has dug coal all his life, how can he do anything?
People are so well-founded and strong that they don't care about their reactions at all, they have emotions that want to make trouble, whether they jump up and down to find someone to say good things, people don't pay attention to it at all.
It is said that the working class has a high status, but in fact, it is the cadres who really have the right to speak.
They are just ordinary workers' families, and the biggest official among their relatives is the director of the neighborhood committee. They can't even touch the door!
Han Kaishan felt that he was invisibly suppressed by a powerful force, cold sweat was like pulp, his limbs were weak, and no matter how he struggled, it was in vain.
Returning home reluctantly, Han Kaishan only shook his head at his family's eager inquiry, "Earn less, earn less, if you don't go down the well, at least you can eat a bowl of Ansheng rice." ”
My wife didn't know it, and my son had a lump of wood, so it was in vain to tell them.
Han Kaishan panicked in his heart, he was going to be strong for a lifetime, and he didn't dare to fight again for the first time, just to have something to eat.
They may be targeting a big man, the mine is downsizing the population in the countryside, and whether they can keep their jobs in the future is a question, so how dare they toss again.
Looking at the big family who were like headless flies trying to figure out a way, Han Kaishan sighed, "Don't get the cornmeal next month, let's replace it with wheat bran, make the porridge thinner, let's tighten our belts, we have to save the food for the old man."
The old family's side is also staring, and she can't be allowed to take her salary away next month! ”
Originally, I wanted to dry this bad daughter-in-law for a few months, pinching her food stamps and non-staple food stamps, so that she couldn't bear it and came back to admit her mistakes. But now that the little girl is in a hurry to get married, she has to get someone back quickly and hold her salary in her hands.
Alas! The daughter-in-law is a temporary worker, and the salary is not much, so it was set in a hurry, if she waits, those bride prices will definitely be able to give the eldest a formal job, and can also subsidize more when the family is in trouble......
When the Han family was in a gloomy fog, the horse widow stood in front of them like the sun rushing out of the clouds, and the news she brought made everyone's eyes shine. (To be continued.) )
