Lin Zhenhua's business trip was not short, and when he returned to Xunyang's home, it was already the eve of the Spring Festival in 1988.

Lin Zhenhua had just sat down when he entered the house, and before he could say anything to Yang Xin, he heard someone knocking on the door. Yang Xin went over and opened the door, and it was Yang Wenyong's younger brother Yang Wenjun who came in.

"Manager Lin, you're back." Yang Wenjun greeted Lin Zhenhua timidly.

Lin Zhenhua and Yang Wenyong have a good relationship, so they also know Yang Wenjun. However, seeing Yang Wenjun find his home, Lin Zhenhua couldn't help but feel a little strange, he asked: "Wenjun, what's the matter, is there something to find me?" ”

"I'm looking for Sister Yang Xin." Yang Wenjun pointed at Yang Xin and said.

"Wenjun, you wait." Yang Xin said to Yang Wenjun as he walked into the back room. Lin Zhenhua heard the sound of Yang Xin opening and closing the drawer, as if he was taking something.

"Wen Jun sit down." Lin Zhenhua didn't know what Yang Xin was doing, and it was inconvenient to ask, so he said to Yang Wenjun: "How is it, Wenjun, are you comfortable working in the company?" ”

"Got used to it." Yang Wenjun replied.

"What department are you in now, and what do you do?"

"I'm in a scrap metal recycling company, and I do the repair of scrapped machine tools, which is what my brother used to do."

"Well, this job is quite good for cultivating people." Lin Zhenhua said, "How are you mastering the technology now?" ”

Yang Wenjun said: "It's okay, my brother explained to a few masters in the workshop to take me, and he himself sometimes comes to guide me, I have learned almost all the basic skills, and the next step is to be more proficient." ”

"Well, your brother was very hard to learn technology back then, and his current technology is also the best in the company, you have to learn from him, you know?" Lin Zhenhua said that he has been a leader for so many years, and his mouth is this kind of serious look.

The two chatted for a few words, Yang Xin came out of the house, she took a few banknotes, handed them to Yang Wenjun, and said: "Give you 50 yuan this time, it's almost the New Year, there may be some dinner parties between you workers, you need some money in your hands." Come back to me when you don't have enough money. ”

"Okay, Sister Yang Xin." Yang Wenjun said obediently. Yang Xin handed over a piece of paper, Yang Wenjun signed his name on it, and then said goodbye and left.

"What the hell are you doing?" After Yang Wenjun left, Lin Zhenhua asked Yang Xin strangely.

Yang Xin covered his mouth and said: "You don't know, I am now in charge of Wenjun's salary, he will hand it over to me every month when he receives his salary, I will give him 20 yuan each time, and he will come to me to receive it when he runs out." ”

"Why?" Lin Zhenhua asked curiously, I haven't heard that the wife of the deputy general manager has to do this work part-time. Yang Wenyong was brought out by Lin Zhenhua from the countryside of Yonghe, and his family asked him to call Lin Zhenhua "Uncle Xi", and this time Yang Wenjun came out, and he also called Lin Zhenhua Uncle Xi in private. Compared with other young workers in the company, the relationship between the two brothers and Lin Zhenhua is relatively close. However, no matter how close you are, you can't help others manage their salaries, right?

Yang Xin said: "Don't mention it, this Yang Wenjun, he has never spent his own money since he was a child, and after working in the factory, he didn't know how to spend his salary every month, and he often spent the money in a few days at the beginning of the month, and as a result, he gnawed cold steamed buns every day in the second half of the month." It's the end of the month, and I don't have any meal tickets left in my pocket, and I've been hungry for two days. I only found out later when I heard the master in the workshop talk about it. ”

"How so?" Lin Zhenhua wondered, "It's normal for a half-grown child to not care about money, but he can't eat, doesn't he know how to go to his brother?" Yang Wenyong is now on a high salary, and this child is usually very frugal, so he should have saved a lot of money. ”

Yang Xin said: "I was also strange at first, so I specifically asked Wen Yong, guess what he said?" ”

"Say what?"

He said that he had already told Wen Jun that after he came out, he would not lend a penny to Wen Jun. If he wants to learn technology, he can teach the civil army, but he can't borrow money. ”

"How did you become a brother!" Lin Zhenhua was annoyed, "How could this Yang Wenyong be like this?" ”

Yang Xin said: "Wen Yong said, a noble son from a poor family, how much money Wen Jun can earn, let him use as much as he wants." If you lend money to Wen Jun, you will develop the habit of being lazy and lazy. ”

"That's true, but you can't just watch my brother starve, right?" Lin Zhenhua muttered, hearing Yang Xin say this, he understood Yang Wenyong's thoughts. Yang Wenyong obviously wants to use his attitude towards life to shape his younger brother, so he hardens his heart and ignores his younger brother's plight. In fact, Yang Wenyong still takes great care of his family, and has been sending money to his family all these years, but in his attitude towards this younger brother, he is inevitably a little overkill. ,

Yang Xin said: "There is no way, I have to tell Wen Jun that he will hand over to me when he receives his salary every month, and I will keep it for him, and come to me when he wants to use the money." In this way, he has a plan to use the money. ”

"Well, it's okay, you take care of him for a few months, and eventually let him learn to control the use of money by himself. After all, it's such a big person. Lin Zhenhua said, "By the way, Xiaoxin, how is Yang Wenjun's technology learned?" ”

Yang Xin nodded and said: "He learned technology very well, I have understood, the masters in the workshop all said that he has a smart brain, more than Wen Yong's brain, and he can see anything." However, people are not as down-to-earth as Wen Yong, and it is said that in order to learn technical things, Wen Yong was beaten a few times. ”

"Wen Yong really beats people?" Lin Zhenhua was stunned and said, when he met Yang Wenyong in Luzhong Machine Tool Factory, Yang Wenyong also said this, it seems that he is really strict with his younger brother.

"There is a master who has seen Wen Yong fight Wen Jun with his own eyes." Yang Xin said, "I also went to Wen Yong about this matter, Wen Yong said: We are all rural people, there is no tile on the city, there is no inch of land, if you don't work hard to learn technology, how can you have a foothold?" ”

"Alas, Wen Yong is not too anxious, I'll talk to him another day." Lin Zhenhua said helplessly.

As soon as the little couple said this, someone knocked on the door again, and it seemed that there were two people knocking on the door, a man and a woman, who were still chatting while knocking on the door. Yang Xin smiled, ran to open the door, and brought in two and a half children, who were younger than Yang Wenjun just now, that is, the appearance of junior high school students.

Both children wore brand new ski shirts, the boy wore blue and the girl wore red. People are matched with clothes and horses with saddles, and the two children are originally bright-eyed and bright-toothed, and under the foil of new clothes, they look even more delicate and lovely, like a pair of golden boys and girls.

"Uncle Lin."

"Uncle Lin!"

When the two children saw Lin Zhenhua, they hurriedly ran forward to say hello, but Lin Zhenhua was confused.

"Xiaohua, you don't know the two of them? They are from Hanshan Township. Yang Xin introduced on the side.

"Oh, that's a bit impressive." Lin Zhenhua remembered that these two children were two extremely poor students in Hanshan Middle School, and they were both orphans. When Lin Zhenhua went to Hanshan Township to recruit workers the year before last, he saw them in Hanshan Middle School. Lin Zhenhua remembered that their backgrounds were somewhat similar to his own, so he accepted the two of them as the objects of his donation to education. In the past two years, Lin Zhenhua has been sending money to the two of them, but this is the first time they have met.

"Your name is Jiang Jie, and your name is Miao Xiaoqiong, right?" Lin Zhenhua said to the two children.

"That's right, Uncle Lin has a good memory." Both children replied at the same time. In fact, this really has nothing to do with memory, Lin Zhenhua regularly sends them money, and the names of the two people must be able to remember.

"How did you get to Xunyang?" Lin Zhenhua asked again.

Miao Xiaoqiong said: "It was Sister Yang Xin who asked us to come to Xunyang for the New Year. ”

Yang Xin...... Sister? Lin Zhenhua was depressed, since Yang Wenyong, he has been being an uncle to others, but Yang Xin is a sister, making him and Yang Xin seem to be separated by a generation, what is it.

In fact, there is no way, girls don't want to be called aunts, Yang Xin is only 25 years old after all, and it is too difficult to be an aunt for junior high school students. As for Lin Zhenhua, although he is not very old, his official position is here, and people can only call him uncle.

"A few days ago, the company's car went to Hanshan Township to pull non-staple food, just in time for their winter vacation, so I asked the driver to bring them over." Yang Xin explained on the side, "These two children have grown up so big, and they haven't been to a big city yet." ”

"Well, what grade are you in now, how are your grades?" Lin Zhenhua showed a kind smile like a strange uncle and asked the two children.

"We're in the third year of junior high school, and I'm the first in the grade, and she's the second." Jiang Jie pointed at Miao Xiaoqiong and said proudly.

"This time it's you who happened to be okay? Usually it's me first, you're second. Miao Xiaoqiong said dissatisfiedly.

"I'm not convinced, I'll compare it next time." Jiang Jie is as aggressive as a little rooster, and a little boy of this age really doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade. This is in Xunyang, the two of them can still speak, usually when they are at school, both boys and girls do not speak.

"Jiang Jie, this is your mistake. Boys have to be a bit gentlemanly, and they have to give way to exams in the future, and they can't compete with Xiaoqiong for the first place, understand? Lin Zhenhua was joking. "Whoever wants him to let me, I will definitely do better than him next time." Miao Xiaoqiong stomped her feet and said.

"By the way, you should take the high school entrance examination next semester, right? There's nothing wrong with going to a key high school, right? Lin Zhenhua asked.

Miao Xiaoqiong replied: "It's definitely no problem to be admitted to a key high school, but my uncle wants to call me to be admitted to the middle school, saying that I can come out to work early." ”

"Nonsense, what are you doing at work so early?" Lin Zhenhua said, "Didn't I say, I have covered the tuition and living expenses for your studies, even if you go to high school, you will be admitted to a prestigious university in the future." ”

Miao Xiaoqiong lowered her head and said, "Uncle Lin, I'm so embarrassed to spend so much money on you." ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "What's so embarrassing, you can study hard, and we will be happy to spend more money on a famous brand in the future." By the way, have you visited the company these days? ”

"We've been there." Jiang Jie replied, "Sister Yang Xin took us to the workshop to see, as well as the laboratory. ”

"How do you feel?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

Jiang Jie said: "The machines in the workshop are so amazing, I plan to study machinery in college in the future." ”

"What about you?" Lin Zhenhua asked Miao Xiaoqiong.

"I'm just like him, learning mechanics and helping Uncle Lin do things in the future." Miao Xiaoqiong said.

Lin Zhenhua thought for a while and said: "When you graduate from college, it is time to enter the era of great development of electronic technology, and you had better go to learn electronics." When you come back from your studies, I will build a Silicon Valley in Xunyang, and one of you will be a Jobs and the other will be a cover. ”

"Okay, let's learn electronics." The two and a half children nodded solemnly in agreement...... ）
