The Spring Festival is coming, and this year's Spring Festival is the most deserted Spring Festival in the history of Jiangshidian.

From the establishment of the petrochemical machine factory in the 50s, to the later renamed Jiangnan Shihua Electric Appliance Factory, Jiangshi Electric has always been prosperous. When there is money in the factory, the welfare of the workers is good, and every year during the Spring Festival, the factory will purchase! A large number of New Year's goods were distributed to the workers. The pork distributed by each family cannot be eaten, so it is dried into bacon and sausages, and hung under the eaves, forming a sweet landscape with the characteristics of a large enterprise.

In those years, whenever the New Year's bell rang on the night of the sword, the factory area would be overwhelmed by the deafening sound of firecrackers, and almost every household would pick out a 10,000-ringing electric firecracker to pray for the fortune of the coming year.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the factory leaders should collectively go to each worker's home to pay New Year's greetings, and the apprentices should go to worship their masters. There are many families in the factory who marry each other, forming a complex network of relatives, and at this time they also have to visit each other, and various titles such as aunt, aunt, brother-in-law, cousin, etc., are full of people's hearts.

However, all of this ended with the fall of Niu Beisheng and other factory leaders and their imprisonment. Soon after the Spring Festival of the first year, the factory fell into a state of shutdown due to the rupture of the capital chain. The Light Chemical Department is slumbering, barely ensuring that the factory can pay a discounted basic salary every month, and as for benefits, there is no at all. There is no liquidity in the factory's account, and the medical expenses of the employees have long been unable to be reimbursed. If it weren't for the fact that the city government had specially greeted the power supply bureau, water supply company and other units for fear of accidents, the factory would have been cut off from water and power and would have become a dead city.

In such a predicament, some workers left their hometowns and went to the coast to work in township enterprises. The other part of the workers were poached by Hanhua Heavy Industries and went to Qiyang. There are still thousands of remaining workers, who stay in the factory every day and have nothing to do, gambling, drinking, petty theft, and divorce between husband and wife.

The Spring Festival is coming, and the workers who are working outside have come back one after another, although many of them have a decent income, but seeing the decay in the factory, where is there any interest in the New Year.

In addition to the sword night, only a few people prepared firecrackers, and they were all short whips with hundreds of sounds. When the crackling firecrackers sounded, what everyone felt in their hearts was not joy, but bursts of tingling.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, all the workers invariably chose to stay at home and not go out, only the ignorant children were still playing with their friends. Some children are clamoring for money to buy firecrackers, which makes the shy parents angry, so they break the old custom of not beating their children during the New Year, and snap a few times on the children's buttocks. As a result, the mother and child naturally hugged their heads together and cried aggrievedly, while the man sat outside the door and smoked, and all he saw was a gloom in front of him.

Ye Yuancai is one of the depressed employees, he was the deputy manager of the installation company, and he used to be responsible for the on-site installation of petrochemical equipment. After the petrochemical machine was changed to Jiang Shidian, he was transferred to the refrigerator assembly workshop as a deputy director of the workshop. He is an honest person, although he is a middle-level cadre in the factory, he did not join Niu Beisheng's corruption group, so when Niu Beisheng had an accident, he was not affected.

After Jiang Shidian stopped working, some workers went out to work, and someone once asked Ye Yuancai to ask Ye Yuancai, saying that there were township enterprises along the coast that were willing to pay a monthly salary of 200 yuan to invite him to work. But Ye Yuancai refused, the reason for his refusal was not that he looked down on the township enterprises, but because he had an old mother who was sick at home, and his wife's health was not very good, and his son was small, so he couldn't walk away at all.

For most of the year, Ye Yuancai and his wife have done all kinds of odd jobs in the suburban town where Jiang Shidian is located, but their income is very limited. When the Chinese New Year came, the family only had less than 100 yuan left, not to mention bacon, sausages, and even melon seeds, peanuts and other New Year's goods, the family only prepared a very little. He could only pray that there would be no guests at home, and if any distant relatives came, he didn't know what to use to entertain them. ,

"Xiaohui, why don't you go and play with your classmates?"

Ye Yuancai sat on a stone in front of the door with a cheap cigarette in his hand, and said to his son beside him.

"I don't want to go." The 10-year-old son Ye Hui squatted beside his father, bored drawing villains on the ground, looking lonely.

Ye Yuancai raised his head and saw a few children setting off firecrackers in the distance, and then looked down at his son, and understood a little in his heart. He reached out and took out 2 yuan from his pocket, handed it to his son, and said, "Go ahead, go to the small store and buy 2 yuan firecrackers, and find classmates to play with." ”

Ye Hui shook his head and said, "Mom said that the family has no money, so there will be no firecrackers this year." ”

"Go ahead, Daddy will give you money." Ye Yuancai said.

Ye Hui still shook his head: "I suddenly don't want to set off firecrackers this year." ”

"And what do you want to play?" Ye Yuancai asked. He knew that his son did not want to set off firecrackers, but that he knew that the family's financial situation was not good and consciously gave up this wish. It is said that the children of the poor are in charge of the family early, but Ye Yuancai would rather his son not be so sensible, because this kind of sensibility makes him feel so sad.

Ye Hui tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "Dad, can you make me a gun to play?" ”

"Okay." Ye Yuancai said, "You go to the firewood room to find a few pieces of wood, and then bring Dad's toolbox, and I'll make you a carbine." ”

"Good!" Ye Hui had a smile on his face and ran to the firewood room with a smoke.

"Master Ye!"

Just as the father and son were making guns with great interest, a guest arrived. Ye Yuancai put down the saw, raised his eyes, and couldn't help but greet with a smile: "It's Xiao Shen, come and sit at home." ”

There were a total of 3 guests here, the leader was Shen Jiale, and there were also a man and a woman who were young people, but Ye Yuancai didn't know.

However, during the Chinese New Year, no matter what kind of guests are invited to sit at home, drink tea, and eat some melon seeds and peanuts.

"Master Ye, let me introduce to you, this is Lin Zhenhua, the deputy general manager of Hanhua Heavy Industries, and this is Yang Xin, Manager Lin's lover." After sitting down in the house, Shen Jiale introduced to Ye Yuancai.

"Manager Lin!" Ye Yuancai was stunned for a moment, "Oh, you're rare." I've heard your name for a long time. Alas, you see, there is not even a pack of good cigarettes at home, or I will ask the child to buy a ghost ......"

Lin Zhenhua hurriedly stopped Ye Yuancai and said, "Don't be busy, Master Ye, I don't know how to smoke." I'm here to greet you today, so let's just chat. ”

Ye Yuancai said uneasily: "This is really sluggish. Why don't you eat some melon seeds, this is our own cooking at home, and the taste is quite good. ”

Ye Yuancai's uneasiness was sincere, although he had never seen Lin Zhenhua, he was very familiar with the name Lin Zhenhua. After Jiangshi Power stopped working, the workers in the factory were speculating that Hanhua Heavy Industry might merge Jiangshi Power. The most talked about is Lin Zhenhua, the deputy general manager of the young Hanhua Heavy Industry, because he has created so many miracles, and everyone says that if Lin Zhenhua is willing to take over Jiang Shidian, then the factory will be saved.

Ye Yuancai never imagined that Lin Zhenhua would actually come to his house on the first day of the Lunar New Year to greet him, he didn't know what Lin Zhenhua's purpose was, but he felt that it was his honor to be able to come to his home as a big leader like Lin Zhenhua. And he couldn't even take out a pack of high-end cigarettes to entertain guests, which was really rude.

"What, what was Master Ye doing just now?" Lin Zhenhua asked with a smile.

Ye Yuancai pointed to his son who was standing aside and said, "Make a gun for my child." During the Chinese New Year, he didn't have a toy. ”

"Why don't you go with the children to set off firecrackers?" Lin Zhenhua asked Ye Hui.

Ye Hui shook his head: "Our family didn't buy firecrackers this year. ”

Hearing Ye Hui's words, Ye Yuancai's face showed some embarrassment. When Lin Zhenhua saw this scene, he immediately understood the joint opening, and he said to Yang Xin with a smile: "Xiaoxin, didn't you say that you didn't dare to set off firecrackers?" In this way, you go and take Xiaoye to buy some firecrackers and let him put them for you. ”

"Okay." After all, Yang Xin and Lin Zhenhua have a heart, and when Lin Zhenhua said this, she knew Lin Zhenhua's intentions. She stood up, walked up to Ye Hui, and said, "What's your name?" Is it okay for Auntie to take you to buy firecrackers? Auntie is timid, you help Auntie put it, Auntie is watching from the side, okay? ”,

"Manager Lin, no need, no need." Ye Yuancai hurriedly said, and then said to Yang Xin: "Master Lin, you sit and don't care about him." He had firecrackers every year, and I went to buy them for him in a moment. ”

"It's okay, you talk about business, I'll take Xiaoye to play." Yang Xin took Ye Hui's hand and was about to go out.

Ye Hui tilted his head to look at his father, and cast a beam of Zhengtong's gaze, which was clearly full of expectation. Ye Yuancai nodded helplessly and said, "Go ahead, buy firecrackers with your aunt...... Don't buy too much. ”

"Got it!" Ye Hui replied happily, then took Yang Xin's hand and walked outside the house: "Auntie, I'll take you there, do you dare to look at the discharge cannon, but it's ......?"

Watching Yang Xin and Ye Hui walk out of the door, Ye Yuancai sighed and said to Lin Zhenhua: "Manager Lin, let you see a smile." You also know the situation of our Jiang Shidian. I can't help it, my mother's health is not very good, and I don't dare to keep any money in my hand. ”

"I know." Lin Zhenhua said, "Master Ye, I asked Xiao Shen to bring me over to you today, just to talk to you about what Jiang Shidian will do next." I was commissioned by the Department of Light Chemistry to find a company in the United States this time. After the Chinese New Year, this company will come to inspect the situation of Jiang Shidian, and if everything is good, Jiang Shidian may become a Sino-foreign joint venture. ”

"Really!" Ye Yuancai's eyes showed a glint of joy. (To be continued)
