After Tao Tang's parents returned to Pingquan from Binjiang, they lived in the eldest Tao Jin's house for a while, and then moved to a new house that Tao Tang bought in Golden Olive, and lived with Tao Youdao and his wife. This matter was arranged by Tao Tang, because the heating in the bungalow area is not very good, and the maximum temperature rarely exceeds 18°

There are too many infrastructure debts. When Tao Tang first arrived in Hongxing, he did a survey for the whole factory, and the heating problem in the family area was more concentrated. For this reason, Tao Tang once heard the report of the property company that if the problem is to be completely solved, it is necessary to invest at least 20 million funds (not only new boilers, but also pipeline renewal), and the matter will be put down. First, the lack of funds is extreme, and secondly, Tao Tang believes that the requirements of environmental protection are becoming more and more stringent, and then the traditional hot water boiler is not very suitable, and the current heating layout of the Red Star family area is strict zhòng is unreasonable, the family area relies on a large and a small two boiler rooms (under the management of the property company) for heating, and the problem of too long and low thermal efficiency of the zài pipe network is too long. The plan jointly submitted by the Ministry of Power and Mobility is to build four new boiler rooms at the four corners of the family area, with a total cost of more than 40 million yuan (including new pipelines), and the construction period is long and involves demolition issues. Tao Tang pressed down on this plan, and only approved 2.8 million yuan to repair the damaged original pipe network, and there are still many problems with winter heating.

Now waiting for an opportunity, and the relocation of the production area, this problem is back on the agenda, which is also one of the motives for Tao Tang to insist on asking the city for compensation funds, now the funding problem is solved, next year in the northwest and southeast of the plant can build a natural gas boiler room, Tao Tang said to the political research office responsible for drafting the annual work report, you can write this diǎn into the report, formally make a commitment to the employees.

His parents moved to Golden Olive, and Tao Tang didn't visit much, that is, he made an occasional phone call. On Sunday, Tao Tang vacated his time and took a taxi to Golden Olive to visit his parents, and found that in addition to Tao Youdao and his wife, Wu Shi'an and Tao Meiling's family were also there, and they also came to visit the elderly.

Wu Shi'an said to Tao Tang, "If you know that you are coming, I will pick you up." You came by taxi, right? Second brother, I'm not talking about you, you're too self-disciplined, you don't have to ...... in a special car"

Tao Tang didn't answer the topic, and said to his nephew, who looked a little uneasy, "Go buy a grass carp with a big one diǎn] ∵dǐng] ∵diǎn] ∵ small] ∵ said, .⊙.o∽s_(); At noon, I will cook and make a boiled fish, so that you can learn my craft. ”

Tao Youdao agreed, hurriedly dressed and prepared to go to the vegetable market, Wu Shi'an said, "Forget it, I'll go." I'm afraid you won't be able to buy it. ”

"Then I'll go with you......" Tao Youdao said.

"In that case, you don't have to go." Tao Tang said to his nephew in a cold voice, "I'll talk to you later." With that, he got up and went to his parents' bedroom, and Tao Meiling followed in.

Youdao couple is not bad, let the master bedroom with bathroom for grandparents. When Tao Tang came in, the old couple was watching TV, and they were old and had their ears back, Tao Tang came to the house and talked to Wu Shi'an and Tao Youdao in the living room, but they didn't hear it.

"Ah, it's the second one...... How do you have time to come? The old man picked up the remote control and turned down the sound of the TV, and the old lady simply grabbed the remote control and turned off the TV.

"I'm free today, so I'm going to see you guys...... What do you think? Are you still used to it here? Tao Tang sat next to his mother, "The heating here is really good, much stronger than in the factory......

"Habit, habit!" The old lady smiled and said, "Xiaojuan treats us well, and she changes her tricks to fry us every night, where can you eat?" You've got to talk to them......"

After the wedding, the young couple did not go back to Golden Olive at noon, or at Tao Jin's side, or back to Wang's house, but they all dined in their new home in the evening.

"That's good, Xiaojuan is good...... If you are plain, you can still eat a diǎn, and if you are greasy, you can forget it. Dad, I brought you two bottles of good wine, don't worry, I bought it myself and left it outside......" Tao Tang observed his father attentively, and felt that the old man seemed to be fat.

Tao Meiling poured a glass of water for her second brother with her mother's cup, and said in her heart, does she dare to treat the old man badly? Is being eligible bad for the elderly? But she didn't dare to say what was in her heart.

"I am not at ease with you...... Well, since you're here, I'll tell you...... A few days ago, you asked people to demolish Youdao's garage, well, I know you're embarrassed, but it's not your brother's fault for that incident, it's your brother's doing, so don't talk about him. In the past few days, the two have mentioned this more than once, and they are a little afraid of you. ”

"What are you afraid of me? This is over...... Dad, it's still your old man who understands righteousness. Tao Tang said with a smile.

"What a deep sense of righteousness, bullshit! If it weren't for the fear of affecting you, I would still talk about you...... There is a person in our family, which is considered to be a good thing, but you should care, you still have to care about the family, especially Youdao! Anyway, I'm just such a grandson at the moment! ”

Tao Meiling immediately answered, "Dad, you are patriarchal!" Xiaowei and Xiaohe are not your grandsons? ”

"Xiaohe is, but she is a girl, and she will go out in the future! Xiaowei is a grandson, not a grandson. If you tell me those big truths, I'm almost eighty years old, so I can't change it. Don't roll your eyes, Xiaowei goes to college, I try to live until Xiaowei goes to college, we will pay tuition, but the only one who supports the door of the old Tao family is the way! The old man immediately fought back.

"You're just eccentric! You let the second brother care about Youdao, I have no opinion, why don't you let the second brother care about the next world? Dad, you say something fair, Shi'an is more filial to you than the eldest brother? ”

Tao Tang glanced at his sister and didn't say anything.

"Shi'an is good. I didn't say that the son-in-law was bad. Your eldest brother is like that, he will retire soon, and he will soon be a grandfather, and I don't bother to think about it. Can Shi'an and Youdao be compared? If you have anything to say, tell your second brother directly! ”

"Then I'll say it, second brother, the factory is shouting to move the team, Shi'an has always been the reserve of the third branch of the factory, recently you asked the organization department to re-report the backup of the middle cadre, Director Chen still reported to Shi'an, and talked with Shi'an once, he said to Mr. Ma, Mr. Ma agreed. Shi'an is over forty, and there are not many opportunities, second brother, you must help with this! ”

Tao Tang coughed and picked up the cup to drink.

"Second brother, Shi'an and I both know who you are, Shi'an won't let me say these words, but I think I should still say it. In the past, in addition to being transferred from outside, who did not promote his own family? You can ask, is Shi'an qualified? Second brother, you don't let me do procurement business, I listen to you, but you must take care of Shi'an's affairs. I know that as long as you don't object, the matter of Shi'an will become ......"

The old lady saw that Tao Tang was not angry, and said, "Meiling, don't worry, how can your second brother not care about Shi'an's affairs?" You have also told me more than once about your second brother's embarrassment, just say it, your second brother knows it. ”

"Mom, you don't know. The factory was rumored that the second brother was going back to work in the city, but because it was gossip, I didn't tell anyone. If it is true, as soon as the second brother leaves, who will take care of Shi'an? Second brother, don't be angry, everyone has to live, don't you? ”

Tao Tang smiled, "What am I angry about?" At home, you can say anything. It's good not to spread rumors......"

The old couple was taken aback, "What? Second, you are going to work in the city? It's true? ”

"It's fake!" Tao Tang smiled and said, "I don't even know about it, but they can make it up." Don't believe me, I'm a cadre of a state-owned enterprise, how can I work in the government? Don't believe it. ”

"No wind and no waves...... the old man stared at his son, "You kid has been the master of things in his heart since he was a child...... Well, that Secretary Lu is your friend again, I've been to Binjiang to see you bring me Moutai, is he? If it's true, you can't hide it from your family! ”

"Why should I hide it from my family? How can there be any leakage and shouting in the organization? When I came to Red Star from Binjiang, wasn't it very sudden? Even I didn't know it, so I moved when I said it...... This is nonsense, probably someone in the factory wants me to leave. ”

"That's right." Tao's father diǎndiǎn head, when Tao Tang transferred Pingquan to work, it was indeed very sudden, the old man remembered it very clearly, but he said, "What the people in the factory say, you can't control it, and I can't control it." But there are a lot of people who say you're doing a good job. When you are a factory director, how can you not offend people? Just go your own way. As for Shi'an and Youdao, you really have to help, you can't do it, how many relatives do you have? ”

Tao Tang had a headache. I really want to stay quietly with my family for a while, but I always spoil the atmosphere for various reasons, there are many kinds of truths, there are big and small, there are also distant and close relatives, the real, can be applied everywhere The truth is really not a few, as far as Tao Tang is concerned, the truth he pursues is what Confucius said, 'Do not do to others what you do not want to do to yourself', but it is also difficult to practice. After thinking about it, he said to his sister, "You call in Youdao." ”

Tao Youdao and Wang Xiaojuan came in and stood at the door, like suspects awaiting trial.

"Sit down, it's at home, not in the factory." Tao Tang said softly to the young couple, "Let's talk to you two things, this opportunity is also rare." The first is to take care of my grandparents, and I heard them say, you have done a good job, and you have done your filial piety for me and for us, which is very good. Xiaojuan, in particular, deserves to be praised. Second, it's mainly about you," Tao Tang looked at his nephew, "It's also related to Xiaojuan, so let's talk to you." I'm going to criticize you about the garage, whether it's your idea or not. Why criticize you? Because you don't have a brain. I won't tell you the reason, if you think about it, I won't do work for you if you can't figure it out. You remember for me, I will say this sentence to you again at the end, as long as I work in the factory, whether you speak and do things right, can only be measured according to the rules and regulations of the factory, and cannot be compared with others. The reason is simple, you are my nephew. You don't want to be wronged, you take advantage of more places, what do you have to be wronged? Just like the organization department according to the procedure to recommend the grass-roots middle-level reserves, the list reported by the sixth branch factory has you, think about it, with your seniority, with your position, with your contribution, if there is no me, is it possible? ”

Tao Youdao is not angry.

"Hey, I'm asking you, why aren't you angry?"

Wang Xiaojuan stabbed Tao Youdao, and Tao Youdao whispered, "Maybe not qualified enough......

"What do you mean by possibility? Definitely not qualified! Tao Tang smiled and said, "There is a way, people are valuable and self-aware, and it is difficult to really understand oneself, and it is difficult to be underdeveloped." So, this time you don't even think about it, it's far from it. It's true that you want to improve, but if you come out step by step, I will change your position, but I won't promote you right now, and I won't say it alone. If your grandfather hadn't talked about it just now, I wouldn't have told you this, but what I said just now, I can figure it out, but I can't help it if I can't figure it out. ”

"Second uncle, I can figure it out." Tao Youdao replied sullenly.

"To really figure it out. I'll teach you a way, when the mystery is revealed, you can compare with the newly promoted comrades one by one, calmly, put aside the relationship between relatives and friends behind you, so that your heart will be comfortable...... "I heard the sound of the security door, "Ah, Shi'an is back, so be it, I'll cook the food, I'll come to the chef at noon today." Then he got up and went out. (To be continued.) )
