When she returned home after dinner, Chang Yuling said while playing with the children: "Zhou Jianping, you are generous enough, and you have to help them borrow money." ”

"What else? You also know that Jianwen is in his twenties, and he still doesn't even have a target, isn't it because the house at home is too dilapidated? If we don't help them, I don't think the house can be repaired. ”

"It's really chilling to think back to what your dad has done to you and our family over the years, but at this time he thinks of you."

"Hey, don't rush at my dad, and my mother, besides, I'm a son, I don't hold grudges against him, if I have the same knowledge as him, I don't want to deal with him for the rest of my life." There was a faint sadness in Zhou Jianping's expression.

"Is this money for them, or is it lent to them?"

"Is there a difference between giving and borrowing? said it was borrowed, who knows when it will be able to pay you back, let's admit it. ”

The two of them stopped talking, and after a while, Chang Yuling said: "It's not early, it's rare that you are at home, you take care of the children tonight, let me sleep peacefully." ”

"Yuling, you better spare me, I can't take care of the child."

"If you're not at home, you won't talk about it, and you can't count on it at home."

Zhou Jianping smiled evilly, "Why can't you count on it?" I'll promise to take care of you in a moment. ”

......

After breakfast the next day, Chang Yuling finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks and the kitchen, and saw Zhou Jianping walking back and forth in the yard, looking restless, "What's wrong?" Are you worried about the factory and worried about the things in the factory? ”

"I'm very relieved about the factory, there's nothing to worry about."

"So what are you----? Oh, I remembered. Chang Yuling wanted to speak and stopped.

"What do you remember?"

"Zhou Jianping, it's been several years since we both met, I don't know if you know me or not, but I still know you better."

"What do you know about me?" Zhou Jianping was inexplicable.

"You can't stay at home at all, if you don't have anything, just let you stay at home, it's torture for you, do you think I'm right? You are a person who is not willing to be lonely, I have long seen you through, people say that knowing a son is better than a father, in fact, your father does not know you at all, because of what he thought at the beginning, I have to let you work as a farmer at home like him. Chang Yuling said.

"Even if your eyes are poisonous, you can see me through, what do you mean by telling me these things now?"

"You can't stay at home, see you go back and forth in the yard, let you take the children at home, can you take it? You must want to go out and visit the door now, looking for your second brother Zhou Jianliang, I guessed right? ”

After hearing Chang Yuling's words, Zhou Jianping neither agreed nor objected, but sneered, "Yuling, why are you thinking about me behind my back?" ”

"Do you still need to ponder? You are so similar to Zhou Jianliang! I can't stay at home, I don't want to farm, or when I was in the village, including your father, I think you were all the way with him, I think it makes some sense, but you read a lot, have a flexible mind, are smarter than him, have great courage, and dare to go out. ”

"you, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, how can I be like him? But one thing is for sure, if I don't go out, the village director or village party secretary of Yuanba Village, Zhou Jianliang doesn't even think about it. ”

"You can really blow, where is the rule that you must be made? I won't talk to you, go quickly, don't delay my work at home. ”

"And I went? Lunch is not necessarily eaten at home. ”

"I know, don't talk about lunch, I don't think you may go home for dinner." Although there is less gathering and more separation, Chang Yuling really knows Zhou Jianping's character very well.

Zhou Jianping carried a box of snacks to find his uncle and second brother Zhou Jianliang, and when he arrived at the door of the house, he saw that the door was locked, Jianliang was the village director, needless to say, he must have gone to the village committee at this time.

Since he came out of the house, Zhou Jianping was reluctant to return immediately, he was afraid that Yuling would let him take the child after returning home, so he decided to go to the village committee to find Zhou Jianliang. Halfway through, I met Zhou Jianliang walking back, "Jianping, when did you come back?" Where is this going? ”

"I went to your house, and when I saw that you weren't at home, I guess you were in the village committee, so I was going to look for you."

"Let's go, go back."

"What's the matter, the village committee is done?"

"What's the matter! Yesterday I left a bunch of keys at the village council, and I just went to retrieve them. ”

Passing by a small store on the side of the road, Zhou Jianping bought some snacks and snacks along the way, and Zhou Jianliang wanted to fight for payment, but was stopped by Zhou Jianping.

"Jianping, isn't it lively enough for the two of us to drink? Do you want me to find two people to accompany you? Zhou Jianliang said.

"It's okay, I don't have you to drink, I don't need anyone to accompany me."

"Both of these people want to see you, and have told me two or three times, so I'll call them over."

"Who?"

"The branch secretary and accountant (clerk) of our village, maybe you all know each other, the branch secretary is from the sixth natural village, he is older than us, and the clerk is adjacent to our village, it seems that he is younger than you."

"Then you let them come, I don't care." Zhou Jianping said.

"You wait here, I'll be back in ten minutes, I'll tell the clerk and ask him to inform the village party secretary."

Zhou Jianliang came back after a while, he went to the kitchen to fry a few kinds of vegetables, and the food that Zhou Jianping bought in the commissary was mainly meat.

More than half an hour later, two people walked into the courtyard of Zhou Jianliang's house, one carrying two bottles of wine and the other carrying a plastic bag. At this time, Zhou Jianliang was stir-frying in the kitchen, and Zhou Jianping greeted him, "You are ----? ”

The younger one hurriedly answered, "We are from the village committee, he is the secretary of the village, we are a family, and my surname is Zhou." ”

"Welcome, welcome!" Zhou Jianping shook hands with the visitors one by one.

"You must be the famous director of Zhou Jianping?" The branch secretary surnamed Xu said.

"Yes, I am Zhou Jianping, but I am not famous. Please sit in the house, and the second brother Jianliang is stir-frying in the kitchen. ”

"Hey, what kind of dishes to stir-fry, we've brought them all."

"He had to show off his skills, and I brought some food."

Zhou Jianliang served the food on the table, and saw that everyone had arrived, "Do you know each other?" Would you like me to introduce me? ”

"Hurry up, are the dishes all fried? We don't need your introduction, we already know each other. Zhou Jianping said.

It was almost lunch time, the four of them sat around the table, Zhou Jianliang took the lead in raising his wine glass, "Jianping, today is really a coincidence, the three main persons in charge of our village committee are sitting with you, first of all, thank you for not forgetting the brothers in the village, the three of us respect you together!" ”

The other three all raised their wine glasses, and Zhou Jianping was unmoved, "Second brother, your proposal is incorrect, if you want to say toast, it should be me to toast the three of you, because I am a villager of Yuanba Village, and you are my parents." ”

Lao Xu, the village party secretary, hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, what kind of parent official, if you want to talk about your contribution to the village, we have to give Director Zhou a thumbs up." ”

"Let me give you a suggestion, we haven't started drinking yet, can we not get into this topic yet? I think it's better to respect each other, everyone drinks together, so as not to tell who comes first and who comes last. Zhou Jianliang said.

Zhou Jianping was the first to respond, "Well, I agree with this suggestion, let's drink it together." But Secretary Xu, I want to make a separate request to you, please don't call me Director Zhou, like the second brother of Jianliang, just call me Jianping, it's more cordial to call me this way. ”

Clerk Xiao Zhou took over, "In terms of seniority, I call Director Jianliang the second uncle, then I have to call you uncle." ”

"That's no problem, seniority, I'm your elder, you have to call me uncle, then I won't be polite." Hearing this, everyone laughed.

At first, they all drank quickly, the first glass of wine bottomed out in less than ten minutes, Zhou Jianliang poured the second glass of wine, and he asked: "Jianping, you have recruited more than 600 workers in the village, and these people are doing a good job, what happened to Song Chengquan?" ”

"Fulfilled, did he see you? What do you say? ”

"I didn't say anything else, but it seemed like you weren't interesting enough."

"I am in the same natural village as Chengquan, I am still a junior high school classmate with him, I didn't want to talk about him outside, since the second brother mentioned it, and he said so to you, then I will talk about him in front of the three village leaders."

Zhou Jianping shook out Song Chengquan's behavior of abusing power for personal gain in the workshop, engaging in a small group, accepting employees' food invitations and accepting employees' items behind his back during his tenure as the workshop director, which made the other three people present shake their heads and sigh.

"If it doesn't matter once and a half, or if it can be changed through criticism and education, it's not a big deal, the key is that he hyped up in the workshop that he and I are old classmates, and go his own way, and repeatedly teach and do not change, what is even more unexpected is that more than 50 people in the workshop, one-third of the employees proposed to be transferred, unwilling to work under him. What do you say I should do? ”

"Song Chengquan, this guy, thought he was doing mason craftsmanship in the village, and people in the city didn't eat his set." Zhou Jianliang said.

"Not only the employees in the city reported him, but also the brothers in our village asked to be transferred out of his workshop, and the deputy director in charge of production there knew that he was my classmate, and it was not easy for people to deal with him, so they pushed the matter to me."

"You two are both fellow countrymen and classmates, isn't this a problem for you?" The village party secretary said.

"No way, my factory, no matter how difficult the problem is, I have to face it, I can't push it to others, even if I offend people, I have to deal with it as soon as possible. I talked to Song Chengquan and had a showdown with him, because more than a dozen employees asked to be transferred, my workshop could not stop production, in order to maintain the normal operation of the workshop, I told Song Chengquan to let him vacate the position of the workshop director, he immediately understood what I meant, said that he was going to resign and go home, and I did not keep him. That's how it happened. Zhou Jianping said.

"Uncle, you have done your best, there is nothing uninteresting! The blisters on his feet were all on his own, and it had nothing to do with anyone else. Clerk Xiao Zhou said.

"Some people never see their own mistakes, and blame others for their problems, and this kind of person is not suitable to work with others."

"The secretary is right, Chengquan is such a person, in fact, I have known him for a long time, and when I recommended him to work in the Jianping factory, he took the initiative to find me, otherwise I would not have let him go."

"Second brother, this has nothing to do with your recommendation, to be honest, Song Chengquan has no problem working, his work ability is relatively good among these employees in our village, otherwise it would be impossible to mention him as the workshop director." Zhou Jianping said.

"Uncle, how did you think of buying a bicycle for each of these employees in the village? The impact of this incident is not small, and each batch of dozens of brand-new bicycles is riding back to the village, which looks spectacular! "Clerk Xiao Zhou is a little younger, he pays attention to this kind of thing.

"I didn't expect this kind of thing, but the employees in the village saw that the city people were riding bicycles to and from work, so they reported to the deputy director in charge of production and asked me if I could help them buy bicycles.

Xiao Zhou immediately answered, "Uncle, you have such a good relationship, can you help us buy a few?" ”
