Peng Yuanzheng took a shower and slept in the guest room for a morning. And Song Yuzhen's mother and daughter began to be busy with the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the evening, and Meng Shuang couldn't help because of her inconvenient legs. After lunch, Mr. and Mrs. Feng Bolin and Mr. and Mrs. Feng Boxia came over with their children, and they didn't mention it.

Feng Boxia, Song Yuzhen, and Zhang Lan were busy in the kitchen, while Peng Yuanzheng accompanied Feng Botao, Feng Bolin, and Zhao Ting to talk in the living room. As for the young third generation such as Feng Yuanzheng, Feng Linlin, and Zhao Hainan, they are not interested in the conversation between Peng Yuanzheng and the two fathers. I hid in the small living room to play game consoles.

Not long after, Feng Lou and his wife arrived, and everyone welcomed the two old men into the house together, and then sat down again and began to talk.

Feng Yuanzheng played a game for a while, and came out to see Peng Yuanzheng sitting in Chapter 100 of the guest and speaking boldly, and he was humble and able to worry about the country (3rd plus change) in the hall with his grandfather, uncle, third uncle and uncle Zhao Ting, and couldn't help but be secretly jealous. He walked over silently and stood aside. After listening to it for a while, I really felt that I couldn't interject into the conversation, so I left in a huff.

Feng Lao talked with his two sons, son-in-law and grandson about the recent hot topic of reform and opening up.

For a long time, because of the drastic changes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, the opposition in China has been very loud, including some high-level leaders, who have doubts about reform and opening up, and there have been many controversies. Although the controversy was recently ended by the speech of the great man's southern tour, there are still some voices of skepticism, but they are no longer the climate.

In his past and present lives, Peng Yuanzheng was an unwavering reformer.

Only through reform and opening up can the country have a way out, and closing the country to the outside world can only lead to a dead end. Although some problems have arisen in the process of reform and opening up, such as the rigidity of the system, the growth of the system, the income gap, and so on, the tremendous role of reform and opening up cannot be denied because of this. Without reform and opening up, there will be no economic development, and without economic development, the country will still be at a backward level.

Moreover, fairness has always been a relative concept, and there is no absolute 100 chapters in this world.

The crux of the problem lies in how to face up to and effectively solve the new problems that have emerged in the course of reform and opening up, ensure the healthy development of the market economy, and avoid power. Of course, this is a grand topic, involving a very sensitive topic, Peng Yuanzheng can only think about it in his heart, and dare not say it.

Even if he faced his grandfather, he didn't dare.

This is a great forbidden joy that must not be touched.

Peng Yuanzheng stated his views in a calm language, Feng Lao nodded silently, Feng Botao, Feng Bolin, and Zhao Ting were silent.

"Grandfather, uncle, third uncle, uncle, I think the biggest benefit of reform and opening up is the development of the economy, the promotion of social progress, social progress is not only manifested in the improvement of material life, the acceleration of the urbanization process, but also in the open-mindedness of people, flexible brains, compared with the rigidity and rigidity of people in the past few decades, this change is earth-shaking and revolutionary." Peng Yuanzheng said softly, "So I think that the advantages of reform and opening up are aimed at the disadvantages, and problems should be solved, but we cannot deny and avoid the great value of reform and opening up because there are problems." ”

Peng Yuanzheng looked at Feng Lao's expression and gritted his teeth secretly, and said, "Putting aside the system, no matter what kind of political system and social system we adopt, reform, opening up and economic development are the first priority. Reform and opening up cannot be denied for the sake of protecting the system, and this is not a reason. ”

Feng Botao raised his eyebrows, and he glanced at Peng Yuanzheng, because he felt that Peng Yuanzheng's words were a little bold.

If Peng Yuanzheng didn't have the previous article that aroused the affirmation of the great man, Feng Lao would definitely rebuke his words, thinking that he was too arrogant to talk about state affairs at a young age. But with the foreshadowing ahead, his words fell into Feng Lao's ears, although they were a little bold, but they were also insightful.

Feng Lao looked up at Peng Yuanzheng and smiled, and suddenly said in a condensed voice, "Yuanzheng, you have thoughts and care about the country's major policies, grandpa is very happy." However, the national plan is very important, and it is not as simple as you think. The direction of the country is with us old men at the helm, and all you young people need to do is to do solid work. Do you understand Grandpa's words? ”

Peng Yuanzheng's heart froze, knowing that his grandfather didn't want him to get too involved in "politics" too much, after all, this was not something that he could control as a small section-level cadre. It is good for young people to care about national affairs, but because of this, too much rhetoric or finger-pointing will easily cause taboos at some point and let themselves fall into the whirlpool from which they cannot extricate themselves.

In fact, the great man's views are not new now, but why they were stated at this time through the southern tour is enough to show that this ideological confrontation is by no means limited to the level of public opinion and the level of the people.

Peng Yuanzheng let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Grandpa, I have a clear nose."

"I heard that you encountered a road blockade incident by laid-off workers on the road last night?" Feng Lao took the initiative to change the topic and asked with a smile.

Hearing his grandfather mention this, Peng Yuanzheng hesitated slightly, and decided to try to talk about his views on the disadvantages of the current state-owned enterprise reform in front of his grandfather. You must know that the old man in front of him is not only his grandfather, but also one of the controllers of the country's core power.

If his bold suggestions can attract the attention of the elderly, they will definitely have a follow-up impact.

"Yes, Grandpa. I was on the road, and I happened to encounter hundreds of people blocking the road, and there was no way, so I went around and delayed for several hours. Peng Yuanzheng knew that the old man took the initiative to mention this in order to understand the information.

Therefore, the old man could not continue to ask questions, so he said softly, "It is a laid-off worker of a state-owned textile factory, I briefly learned about the situation, most of the workers in this factory have been laid off, and there is no compensation, because they are too old to find their own jobs, so they made a fuss, hoping to attract the attention of the government." ”

Elder Feng sighed, frowned, and said, "The cadres at the grassroots level are derelict in their duties!" Before the reform, we should take into account in advance these immediate problems of the workers and always wait until the problem arises, and then deal with it in a hurry, the central government has repeatedly ordered that the reform of state-owned enterprises must be prudent and must be the legitimate interests of the majority of employees, but below, some policies are still out of shape! ”

"But the labor pains are labor pains, and state-owned enterprises can't be reformed if they don't reform!" Feng Lao sighed, "It is well known that state-owned enterprises are superficial, I know that in such a state-owned enterprise, only 200 of the 1,000 employees are working on the front line, and the other 800 people are completely dependent on these 200 people to support and live a parasitic life, which is not only a kind of hidden unemployment, but also a disguised record is the product of enterprise socialization." In the competitive environment of market economy, the efficiency of state-owned enterprises has been greatly reduced and the operating costs of state-owned enterprises have been increased. So that state-owned enterprises are on the verge of extinction. "In order to survive and develop, this state-owned enterprise has been restructured, and after the restructuring, 280 people have been left to do the work, and 720 parasites have been bought out and laid off and become self-supporting laborers.

The company has finally rejuvenated and regained a certain degree of competitiveness. ”

"Grandpa, I don't know if I should say a few words or not." Peng Yuanzheng said softly.

Feng Lao smiled, "You say, this is at home, you speak boldly, whether it is right or wrong, grandpa doesn't blame you." ”

"Grandpa, I don't think the reform of state-owned enterprises should be rushed. When the new social security system has not yet been established, a large number of workers are laid off blindly, unplanned, and unprepared, which will inevitably lead to various social problems, and this is the result of the hasty restructuring of state-owned enterprises. ”

"The purpose of the restructuring of state-owned enterprises is to meet the requirements of the socialist market economy, establish a modern enterprise system, and solve the problem of the driving force for the development of enterprises. Focus on the reform of the management system and build a modern corporate governance structure. In fact, there is no need to lay off a large number of workers, on the surface, the effect of reducing staff and increasing efficiency is obvious, but in fact, the labor cost of the enterprise accounts for a very small part of the operating cost of the enterprise, almost negligible. ”

"It is a common problem of state-owned enterprises to be overburdened, but the problem now is that some enterprises have replaced state-owned assets under the banner of reform, resulting in the loss of a large number of state-owned assets and have been laid off, mostly front-line older workers, I hope the state can give more consideration to the fairness of state-owned enterprise reform, and at the same time resolutely deal with those illegal acts of encroaching on state-owned assets."

Peng Yuanzheng has a deeper view on the reform of state-owned enterprises, but now he can't say it, and saying it will definitely cause a strong backlash from his grandfather. He could only follow his grandfather's words, and more or less mention the problem of laid-off to make the old man think a little, and that would be enough.

Feng Lao fell silent. The reform of state-owned enterprises is not without controversy at the top. But without reform, most state-owned enterprises will go bankrupt and go bankrupt, causing even greater social unrest. As for the problems that have arisen in the reform of state-owned enterprises, the top management is also aware of them and is considering countermeasures.

It is impossible for Feng Lao to talk deeply about these with Peng Yuanzheng. He smiled and said, "The expedition, a large number of workers of state-owned enterprises have been laid off, and the loss of state-owned assets is indeed worth thinking about." But we look at the problem, can not simply analyze the situation of an enterprise or several enterprises or even a regional enterprise, to consider the whole from the national level, there is a national game of chess thinking ~ In short, the reform of state-owned enterprises is a long-term behavior, but also a system engineering, success or failure, or let history test. ”

"As far as you are concerned, you still have to concentrate on doing your own work, and you can climb step by step in a down-to-earth manner. "People are not light-hearted, and humble people can worry about the country." Peng Yuanzheng respectfully walked over and poured a glass of water for the old man, "Grandpa, what I said is not right, don't be surprised." ”

"Hehe, grandpa doesn't blame you. Your ideas are good, and your ability to consider these questions shows that your child has a sense of the big picture. It's a good thing to worry about the country and the people, grandpa is happy.

Well, it's the New Year, don't talk about state affairs! When Elder Feng said this, he directly ended this family discussion on national affairs. In terms of his identity and authority, it is already rare to let Peng Yuanzheng let a grandson "point fingers" in front of him to discuss state affairs, which shows that he attaches great importance to Peng Yuanzheng and intends to cultivate him politically. Otherwise, even the juniors such as Feng Botao and Zhao Ting would not dare to say more in front of the old man.

Feng Bolin and Feng Botao laughed, "That's it, that is, for the New Year, don't talk about state affairs."

Dad, our family reunion today is very significant, I borrowed a video camera from the TV station, and I am going to record a video to keep a memento! ”

Elder Feng nodded.

Today is indeed a memorable day for the Feng family. The so-called family reunion is because of the return of Peng Yuanzheng's mother and son, and the long-lost relatives have finally returned. It's a pity that Peng Yuanzheng's father died early, otherwise what a happy ending today would be.

Feng Lao's heart darkened, but he didn't show it on his face.

Zhao Ting sat aside, his contemplative gaze swept over Peng Yuanzheng's face, and a trace of appreciation secretly flashed in his eyes.

He is in charge of the local government, and he has some sympathy with Peng Yuanzheng's words. It's just that some things can't come according to their own preferences, people in officialdom, and they can't help themselves, that's the truth.

Peng Yuanzheng went to the kitchen to help Song Yuzhen and them serve food, and Feng Lao sat in the living room and lowered his voice to his eldest son Feng Botao, "Botao, Yuanzheng and Qianru are two children."

Although Feng Lao's words were not finished, Feng Botao understood what the old man meant.

He smiled, "Well, it's okay, Dad." They get along pretty well. ”

Feng Lao pondered for a moment, "If it doesn't work, just pick it up." There is no problem on Qianru's side, the main thing is the expedition. You let Yuzhen take the time to talk to this kid from the expedition..."

Feng Botao was stunned, hesitated and said softly, "Dad, isn't it a little too hasty?"

"The children are all old, and the expedition will soon reach the age of starting a family, if you don't say it, let this child have someone outside, and it will be even more difficult to do it at that time." Feng Lao has always said the same, and what he said is basically instructions, and there is no exception at home.

Therefore, Feng Botao didn't dare to refute, so he had to agree.

He knew that the old man was very concerned and concerned about the marriage of this eldest grandson, and almost no one could change the things that the old man had recognized.

Not long after, the women of the Feng family put on a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Naturally, Mr. and Mrs. Feng were invited to take a seat, and then they were seated one by one in the order of eldest and youngest, and began to eat and watch CCTV's Spring Festival Gala.

The Spring Festival Gala is an indispensable entertainment feast for people in this era, but as a reborn, Peng Yuanzheng is a little tasteless. Don't say that the juniors such as Feng Yuanhua and Feng Linlin, even if they are Feng Lao, they all stared at the TV screen, and sometimes laughed aloud for the wonderful program.

The night was speechless. When the bell struck midnight, this wealthy family in Beijing was actually no different from ordinary people's families, young people went to set off firecrackers, and Song Yuzhen and other housewives served steaming dumplings.

Peng Yuanzheng stood on the side, and saw Feng Lao standing in front of the balcony staring at the lights of thousands of homes outside the window, his expression focused and contemplative. He knew in his heart that at this moment, even in a happy and peaceful atmosphere of family affection, the old man still could not forget the thoughts of the safety and prosperity of a big country!!.
