On Friday night, Sun Dunquan, who was tinkering with fishing tackle at home, didn't expect Tao Tang to come without saying hello.

"What? Not welcome? What about Madame? ”

"Hey! I also think you must have been very busy these two days, with endless meetings during the day and endless drinks at night...... Yutao hasn't gotten off work yet. Don't change shoes, what kind of shoes do I have to change for this family. ”

Sun Dunquan's wife, Yin Yutao, teaches geography at Hongxing No. 1 Middle School, which handed over three middle schools and seven primary schools to the Municipal Education Bureau in 2005. But the couple still lives in the factory house - an 80-square-meter unit built in the early 80s and bought at a very low price in the mid-90s.

"What are you doing here?" Tao Tang bypassed the entrance, and there was a bunch of messy things in the small living room.

"Make a parasol by yourself and the original one is broken. Sit, sit, I'll make you tea. ”

"Still fishing on Sundays? Are there fish in the Yue River? Tao Tang handed the paper bag in his hand to Sun Dunquan, "For you, I guess you don't have any good tea." ”

"There's no Sunday for me, it's Sunday. The water quality of the Yue River is much better than in the past, but there are still no fish. I'm going to the Feiyuan Reservoir...... Hey, Tao Tang, you look good, much better than the last time I saw you. It's still comfortable at the headquarters. Sun Dunquan took the bag, opened it, and saw that it was two cans of tea, "Those who know me, Tao Tangye." Since I drank the tea you gave me, the taste has changed dramatically, haha. ”

Tao Tang smiled, "Of course, the organ is more comfortable than the below, especially the department of the Political Research Office, which gave me the conditions to recuperate." ”

"Hey, you shouldn't have come back in the first place...... Wait a minute. Sun Dunquan went to the kitchen to boil water.

Tao Tang looked around, it had been ten years since the last time he came to the door. The furnishings have hardly changed, and there are books, newspapers and magazines everywhere in the room, and there is hardly a place to stay.

Sun Dunquan quickly came back with two teacups, "Could it be that I am really the legendary Da Hong Pao?" ”

"It is said to be. I don't know if it's true or not, it was sent by a friend in Fujian. ”

"Sit, well, that's interesting. Not bad, not bad. Sun Dunquan sniffed the tea leaves vigorously.

"I'm really sorry to say it, last time you two went to Binjiang, I didn't have time to accompany you, and I will meet my sister-in-law later, I apologize in person. What time does she get off work? ”

"It's usually seven o'clock. What are you sorry for? Really. She still wants to thank you, all you need, what else? Bystander Qing, she said more than once that if you were a leader in Red Star, the factory would never be the same bear as it is now. Hey, when I heard your news that day, I told her, look at your crow's mouth, it's true, right? The red star has already rotted, what can Tao Tang do when he comes? ”

"Do your best, and be safe. Oh, you've been studying the history of the Republic of China lately? Tao Tang picked up the new set of "Historical Tales of Warlords in the Beiyang Period" written by Tao Juyin, a famous reporter during the Republic of China.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm writing an online novel set in the education circle of the Republic of China, and cheating some money to support my family."

"Does anyone watch this kind of subject matter too?"

"Love. Do you understand? Love is an eternal theme. And the love in the intellectual world is even more written, such as the story of Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin. For the sake of this book, I worked hard to read Qiong Yao, and fans said that the blue is blue. Sun Dunquan shook his head.

"You can just deceive the ignorant girl. By the way, my Xiaohe read your book, and it was really good. ”

"Don't talk about my ugliness. Do you want to hear the staff's evaluation of the Red Star team? ”

"I want to hear it, and I don't want to hear it." Tao Tang dropped the book in his hand.

"After Song Yue's accident, there are sayings about life, old age, illness, death, and suffering for the team......"

"Oh?" Tao Tang became interested, "Tell me about it?" ”

"The deceased, Song Yang's generation, take the blame for themselves, don't talk about it. The old man, Zhou, Jiang Ye, the living, Li, Ma, Han, the sick, Zhao, Guo, Luo, the suffering, Chang, Liu, Qiu. However, no one seems to expect you to be parachuted in, so this classification is impossible to count. ”

"Is Luo also trapped?" Tao Tang was taken aback.

"There's a lot of rumors."

"Lao Sun, let's talk about something interesting, I know that you like to study modern history, in terms of strength, before 1948, most of the time, in most battlefields, our party was an absolute disadvantage. Tell me, why did we win and lose together? ”

"Hey, the last time we had a long talk, I realized that you are more miscellaneous than me, and I don't have an axe in the class."

"No, I want to hear your opinion, the real opinion."

"Do you really want to hear it?"

"Of course."

"First, our party organization is strict and goes deep into the grassroots. The smallest cadre of the Kuomintang is the county party secretary who wears a black tunic and carries a briefcase under his rib on TV. Further down, I can't find it. But our party is different, wherever there are party members, there is an organization, forming a tight spider web. I secretly believe that since Pangu opened up the world, throughout the past and the present, and looking at the east and west, there has never been a party organization that has penetrated deeper into the grassroots and is more rigorous than our party. ”

"I couldn't agree more. What else? ”

"Since the Yan'an rectification, the ideology within the party has been highly unified. And Chiang did not unify the interior until he was victoriously transferred to Taiwan. Each ministry has different aspirations, each has its own strength, the overall situation has been in danger for 48 years, and the internal move to force the palace is still staged, and it is undefeated? ”

"Hmm...... Anything else? ”

"Discipline is stricter than that of opponents."

"What else?"

"If you insist on asking, it's a cliché, ideals and beliefs, and the style of cadres 'follow me'......"

"Yes, yes. In my opinion, the last one you mentioned is particularly important. ”

"That's your strategy?"

"It's ridiculous to talk about strategy at every turn! An enterprise, even if a factory like Red Star is resting on the national economic chessboard, and even a pawn can't reach it, what qualifications does it have to talk about strategy? Enterprises are profit-chasing economic organizations, whether state-owned or private, there is no difference in essence. However, it is the three elements of market, technology and cost. The market is hidden behind technology and cost, there is technology to fight technology, no technology can only fight cost. And behind the cost, there is real management, that's all. ”

"This is the so-called Shengdong experience?"

"Do you believe it or not? Shengdong's employees are willing to work overtime instead of overtime pay......"

"Sheng Dong is not a red star."

"The market is different, the products are different, and the difficulties are different, but how much difference can there be between employees? Think back then, the Red Army on the Long March in terms of equipment and numbers, how could it be compared with the opponent? But the iron flows 25,000 miles, the military flag does not fall, and the military spirit does not disperse, how strong it is. If you want me to say, the winner was decided in 35 years. ”

"Orthodox people like you are already at the level of antiques. Brother, I advise you not to work as hard as you did in Shengdong. ”

"Bitterness is two sides of the same coin."

"You, are you going to stay for a long time this time?"

"I can't help it."

"Then, what about my daughter, can I pick it up?"

"Nope. There are still many advantages on the riverside side. It's a pity not to use it. ”

"Then, Fang Lan's sister-in-law, has there been any progress? Yutao is most concerned about this, saying that your heart is too hard. ”

"It's not a question of soft-heartedness...... The gap is too big...... Is it okay not to say this? Is the son running home or living in school? ”

"Live on campus. The environment at home is not good, and it just so happens that Yutao's teacher's classmate is his homeroom teacher. However, my bald boy is still quite competitive, and his grades last semester improved by more than 20 compared to the entrance examination. ”

"Old Sun, you are really quite happy, at least much better than me. Don't be in the midst of blessings and don't know blessings. Tao Tang sighed.

"Of course I'm content. Indeed better than you, except for the salary. Haha, what you're saying is that those who covet both, are either ignorant or insane. It's a pity that few people can see through it. By the way, how many classmates did you see when you came back for a few days? ”

"I only saw Lu Qi."

"If you had done it earlier, I would have guaranteed that Lu Qi's child would now be surnamed Tao. Over the years, she has asked me a lot about you. I revealed the news of your return to her. Hey, you say, why do people know how to maintain it so well? Standing with that guy in my house, at least ten years younger! It's a pity...... Don't regret it? ”

"I regret it, you tell Lu Qi and let her divorce." Tao Tang said with a smile.

"I really said it."

"Say it."

"Don't say it, Lu Qi is really not that kind of person. She has good abilities and is a decent person. If you are a little more easy-going, how can Liu Xiuyun's generation be enough. ”

"Don't talk about her, what about the other classmates?"

"There weren't many people left in Red Star in Class 58 that year. Han Ruilin, Bao Xianbing, Liu Lin...... That's all there is left, right? Yes, there is also a Li Suyi, I'm afraid you don't remember. ”

"I've heard that. Something has happened to her family lately. Tao Tang remembered what Lu Qi said, and he didn't bother to ask about it.

"There is also a Cao Wendong, who was killed by drinking and riding a motorcycle, and the perpetrator was not even found......" Sun Dunquan thought of the rumors between Han Ruilin and Cao Wendong's widow, and felt that this topic was not interesting.

"Cao Wendong? I remember, it's the one who broke his nose when he wiped the glass. He's dead? It's a pity. Tao Tang really remembered the classmate who was always smiling, and he encountered such a situation.

"It's pathetic. A man dies like a lamp going out, and there is nothing left. ”

"What about Xu Deguang? I mean, how are his parents? Are they all in the factory? ”

"Don't mention it, it's all gone."

"How so? It's not too old. He is the eldest son......" Tao Tang estimated the age of Xu Deguang's parents in his heart.

"My father died early, liver cancer. My mother left last year, fell and was not rescued, probably due to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. ”

"I remember he had a sister?"

"It's in the factory. is also a poor person, because he did not have children, he was dumped by his husband. works in the Propaganda Department, called Xu Deyu. ”

"Oh......" Tao Tang remembered Xu Deguang's innocent smile back then. If it weren't for his drunken impulsiveness, Deguang's current achievements should not be under him......

"The most beautiful is of course Tang Yikun, it is said that the assets in his name have already exceeded 100 million. Billionaires. but caused Li Suyi's personal misfortune. I heard that the perpetrator was a temporary worker of a demolition company and had no connection with the East Lake Group. Right? ”

"I don't know the specifics...... I am not a police officer and can only trust the conclusions of the investigation by the judiciary. By the way, tomorrow night's Tang Yikun and Zhang Luo class reunion, have you informed everyone? ”

"The notice is a notice, but few people go. Tang Yikun's goal of the class reunion must be you! It must be so, there have always been rumors that Red Star is going to relocate, this land will be where Pingquan New Town is located, and he is engaged in real estate...... Where will Tang Yikun, who has become a guest of honor, remember us little shrimps? You get the idea. Bao Xianbing and I are card friends, and Lao Bao made it clear that he would not go. ”

"It's just a get-together."

"To be honest, I don't want to go either. Why bother to see people come back and be angry with yourself? ”

"Go, must go! He is the east, we eat and play for nothing, why don't we go? Lu Qi has already agreed, you can contact you again. Just say I'll go, I guess everyone will go. Classmates, it's rare to get together and be happy. ”

"Alright then, listen to you." Sun Dunquan didn't realize that he was being used by Tao Tang.

"Get in your car and don't worry about that gas."

At this time, the door opened, Yin Yutao came back, saw Tao Tang, and said in surprise. "Oh, Mr. Tao is here? Last night, Lao Sun was going to see you, and I said that people have just come back, how can I have time to see a poor and boring idler like you? ”

"Haha, come and eat. You won't drive me away, will you? Tao Tang stood up with a smile and held Yin Yutao's outstretched hand.

"Look at what you say. I'm afraid that our small temple can't fit your big Bodhisattva. Say, what do you want to eat? I don't have delicacies from the mountains and seas, and I can't make them, so it's no problem to cook them at home. ”

"Home cooking is my favorite. Ha ha. ”

"That's fine! You sit, wait, it's okay right away. Heck, why don't you have a few drinks? I'm going to buy some snacks. Lao Sun, you are really a person, and you won't give me a call. ”

Without waiting for Lao Sun to speak, Tao Tang hurriedly stopped, "Don't, I never drink at home." I can't socialize, how can I have that kind of interest? ”

"You're welcome."

"You're welcome, you can do whatever you usually eat."
