Chapter 26: Burnt out
sent Yang Qin on the plane to Kyoto, and Xu Hongwen, who was still holding his own salute, took the car back to Wugu County directly.
Wugu County, which is only more than 10 kilometers away from Haizhou City, is a poor county, one is not close to the sea, the other is the land is poor, and the most important thing is that there are many mountains. In recent years, the overall economic development of Haizhou City has been good, and the scale of investment by Hong Kong and Taiwan enterprises and foreign capital in Haizhou has also become larger and larger, and Wugu County, which is close to Haizhou City, wants to absorb some investment, but because there is little flat land in the county and the transportation is inconvenient, the economy of Wugu County has not been able to develop when the city's economy as a whole is improving.
Xu Hongwen sat on the bus, the car swayed and made people dizzy, looking at the mountains that should be lush outside, but now it has become a barren mountain, just out of Haizhou City, the bus is on the mountain road, if you are timid to sit on the chair on the side and see the ravine outside, you have to be scared to pee, although the mountain road is relatively wide, but only fill in some gravel, as long as the muddy road in the rainy day will make people hesitate.
A small basin in the mountains is the county seat of Wugu County, a few years ago, the evil fruit of cutting down trees made the few cultivated land outside the county town was washed away by mudslides, but fortunately there was no big mudslide, otherwise the county can not be kept or two words, the current county party committee team for the predecessor left a mess is also a headache, the county's financial difficulties in Wugu County is a house leak and canopy overnight rain, so poor that the wages of government workers can not be paid, let alone financially supported enterprises and institutions!
Get off at the station in the county town, low houses, dilapidated roads, and there is still a bad smell; The county seat is very small, Xu Hongwen walked less than ten minutes after getting off the car to get home, his family is good in the county, Xu Hongwen and his father Xu Jinjun is the director of the county's lamp factory, and his mother Fang Mei is a teacher in the county middle school, but the county recession in the past two years has even affected their family a little badly.
Xu Hongwen's house has a big courtyard, the courtyard door is wide open, standing at the gate, you can see his mother picking vegetables in the yard, Xu Hongwen, who is in a somewhat indescribable mood, shouted when he entered the door: "Mom! ”
Fang Mei, who was holding a large handful of cabbage, got up and saw her son, and said, "Hongwen, aren't you on holiday early, why did you come back!" ”
"Something has been delayed for two days, what about my dad?"
Fang Mei, who was happy to see her son come back, followed Xu Hongwen into the house with the vegetables, and said: "He, he's worried about the things in the factory, don't you know that your father's factory has not been profitable in the past two years, and it is difficult to even pay wages!" ”
In the past ten years, the efficiency of the lamp factory is not bad, but after the closure of a number of collective enterprises in the county, many unemployed workers have been diverted to several factories with good efficiency, although Xu Jinjun has opinions, but for the overall situation of the county, he finally did not speak out against it, and the factory of the original 100 people suddenly entered more than 200 people, and raised so many more people in the case of no expansion of production capacity, and the small bulb factory must not be dragged to death.
Xu Jinjun wanted to expand export channels at that time, but the fragile lamps could not withstand the bumps of the road at all, and a car of light bulbs would be damaged a lot when they were transported to Haizhou. Xu Jinjun knew that the road into Haizhou would not be repaired for a while, so he broke off the idea of exporting, and the bulb factory was salivating for two years, and it was really unsustainable until now.
Xu Hongwen knew that in later generations, the lamp factory in the county really couldn't come up with money and then closed down, his father Xu Jinjun took some workers to contract the lamp factory, at the beginning it was also very difficult, his family was also in debt, if Xu Hongwen did not make money to pay off the debt after graduation, their family would be dragged by this bulb factory.
Xu Hongwen put down the bag in his hand, and put the two catties of pork he bought from the meat stall on the table just now, and said: "As long as the road out is not repaired well, my father's factory will be hopeless!" ”
"Who's to say it isn't!" Seeing the meat taken out by her son, Fang Mei was a little distressed, because the family had been nervous in the past two years, and his father always took the workers who were living in difficulty in the factory from home, and the living expenses that the family gave Xu Hongwen every time were not much, but I didn't expect my son to take out the money saved to let the family open meat, thinking that Fang Mei here was a little blamed and said: "Hongwen, my mother has not given you much life, don't be bitter about yourself!" ”
"It's okay, I not only have a school living allowance now, but I can also earn some money myself!"
"Earn money! Aren't you graduating now, studying should be very tight, so come to earn money? ”
"Mom, you can rest assured of my study!"
"Good! You're so big, I can't handle it even if I want to! It's almost noon, you go to the factory and call your dad back for dinner! “
"Okay!"
Watching her son go out, Fang Mei was also proud of having such a promising son in her heart, in Wugu County, where there are few college students, almost everyone in the small county town knows that there is a doctoral student in their family, for ordinary people, college students are very promising, the doctor must not be a Wenqu star, for ordinary people, Xu Hongwen just added their talking point in vain, and Fang Mei has become the envy of her neighbors and relatives and friends.
Xu Hongwen came out of the house and went straight to the bulb factory, walked into the rusty gate, Uncle Zou, who had been a doorman for more than ten years, saw him come in, and he smiled and said with a smile: "Hongwen, your school is on vacation!" “
"Yes, Uncle Zou!" Xu Hongwen replied without stopping, everyone is an old acquaintance, everyone can chat when they sit idle, and now Xu Hongwen is going to find his father, so he didn't say much.
Entered the factory office, there was no one in the office, and only to find out that they were all having a meeting on the playground behind the factory, Xu Hongwen arrived when the playground was full of people, and his father Xu Jinjun was standing on a chair and was about to come down after speaking.
Xu Jinjun picked up the large porcelain jar placed on the ground next to him and took a sip of tea, then looked at the workers below and asked, "I'm done with my words, what do you have to ask!" “
Li Dazhuang, the leader of the assembly team, stood up with his hands and said: "Factory director, now the factory has not paid wages for three months, and I really have no rice at home, and I am coming over soon, when will our wages be paid!" “
Li Dazhuang's words resonated with a lot of people, many workers are below and respond, Xu Jinjun is also very difficult, their factory has raised more than 200 people for the county, but the county has never paid a penny, last year, when the year was closed, the bulb factory that could not be turned on took a loan from the bank, which was used to pay wages to the workers and it was good to spend the year, but the efficiency of the factory has not improved, and the bank loan can not be delayed, Xu Jinjun, who has no choice, can only deal with the bank first, Today, he specially held this meeting to explain this matter to everyone.
Although Xu Jinjun is very respected in the factory, but this year who has money at home, no wages for three months, the workers have to support their families, who have a tight life, early this morning a few thorns in the factory also made trouble in the county party committee, Xu Jinjun urgently convened a meeting of the workers of the whole factory, and a few people who went to the county party committee in the morning did not dare to blow up in front of him, after hearing Li Dazhuang's words, Xu Jinjun said loudly: "Everyone knows that the factory is short of money now, but no matter how short of money, we will not use production funds, Otherwise, the factory would have to close! “
Xu Hongwen heard his father's voice a little hoarse, and after seeing him take another sip of tea, he said: "And we are about to repay the bank loan, everyone grit their teeth again!" “
A laid-off worker who was shunted to the lamp factory said: "Factory director, my family is really in difficulty, can you give me a part of my salary first?" “
A young worker in the light bulb factory said, "Hmph, I don't see you people doing much, but you don't take less money!" “
There is a long-standing conflict between the workers in the light bulb factory and the workers who have been diverted, there are only so many fixed positions in the light bulb factory, and the extra people are not of much help, but the wages they receive are calculated according to their previous years of service and rating, although it is less than half of the previous ones; However, the diverted workers really did not have much to do as they were scheduled, and many of the diverted workers took the wages of the light bulb factory to do their own thing, which caused dissatisfaction among the light bulb factory workers.
One sentence was like lighting a powder keg, and the two sides were almost quarrelling, and the powerful Xu Jinjun was able to tolerate others in front of him, and with a loud yell, he calmed down the scene, glared at the chair and lectured the worker, and punished the worker who said the wrong thing for a week's cleaning, and the meeting ended up unhappily.
