"I think Jianwen is still young, and I want to put him on the post to train and exercise, so that he can grow up gradually."

"Guolin, your idea is right, but you should know that a person's spirit of responsibility and sense of responsibility is a kind of temperament and quality, which cannot be cultivated in a short time. Zhou Jianping said.

"Okay, then consider someone else."

......

In order to meet the growing market demand, Zhou Jianping vigorously tapped the potential of the equipment, and did everything possible to expand the output, and the single-shift operation at the beginning of the expansion was changed to three shifts after a year, and the output was expanded nearly three times.

Through the hard work of the past few years, Zhou Jianping not only paid off the loan of more than one million yuan for the first purchase of Jiansheng Food Factory, but also repaid the loan for the purchase of the land of the original cement products factory with interest in the past two years, and redeemed two pieces of land from the bank, a total of 40 acres of land use certificate. Although there was not much surplus funds in the factory, the entire Jiansheng Food Factory, including the land and above-ground objects, was finally truly owned by Zhou Jianping.

After knowing the news, Zhao Xinmei, who graduated from a financial management class, asked, "Do you know what this means?" ”

Zhou Jianping shook his head, "What does it mean?" ”

"It means that the scale of the Jiansheng Food Factory can be doubled without lack of capital."

"What does the two have to do with each other?"

"If, I mean, if you need to expand the scale, you can take these two land use certificates to the bank for a loan, and use the land as collateral, and the bank will gladly accept it, and there is no need for any guarantee at all."

"Xinmei, you don't deal with finance, but you are very familiar with this aspect!" Zhou Jianping looked at Zhao Xinmei in surprise.

"You forgot? I majored in financial management, and although my actual work is not related to this, I will never forget the basic knowledge in this field. ”

"Yes, that's what you're studying."

"If you have a land use certificate in your hand, it means that you have very convenient financing conditions, is there any difference between these two documents in your hand and in the bank?" Zhao Xinmei said.

"Xinmei, your words reminded me that you are a good financing consultant, and it seems that you have another title."

"What advisor? It's almost the same as giving some advice, and I don't dare to act as an advisor in front of you. ”

"But your advice is often unique."

Zhou Jianping hasn't been back to his hometown for a while, and at eight o'clock in the morning, his brother Zhou Jianwen stood at the door of his office and knocked on the door, with his voice "Please come in!" Zhou Jianwen pushed the door into the house.

"Jianwen? Do you have something? "I have been working in the factory for three or four years, this brother has never been to his office, and Zhou Jianping was a little surprised to see Zhou Jianwen pushing the door into the house.

"Brother, I just came back from my hometown yesterday afternoon."

"Oh, you're back home?"

"I took advantage of my off-duty time to go back to my hometown."

"How's it going, how are your parents?"

"It's all good. Brother, father... Parents asked me to ask you one thing. Zhou Jianwen's speech seemed to be hesitant.

"What's the matter? You say. ”

"The last time you went back to your hometown, you promised them something, and your parents asked you how you were preparing?" Zhou Jianwen said.

"What I promised last time I went back to my hometown----, are they going to repair the house?" If he didn't mention it, Zhou Jianping would have forgotten about it.

"According to my parents, I'm going to start construction at the end of this month, but they haven't seen you since, so let me ask you if it's okay?"

"What's not going to work? Didn't they all say it, how much money they need to repair the house, and how much I will make up. ”

"I think my parents mean that, I want you to cash in now." This was actually what their parents said, Zhou Jianwen conveyed it, felt embarrassed, and lowered his head after speaking.

"Now you can cash out, the question is I don't know how much worse, how much do I give? There are no numbers. ”

"Otherwise, I'll let them start construction with the money they have at home, and tell you how much they lack at any time." Zhou Jianwen said.

"Yes, let's get to work first. It is less than 100 kilometers back and forth from my hometown, and even if I use it now, I can't delay it. Zhou Jianping said.

In fact, the parents asked Zhou Jianwen to convey their meaning, just to remind their eldest son Zhou Jianping, so that he should not forget the original promise, instead of letting him take the money now.

It is a big deal for his parents' family to repair the house, and it is reasonable for Zhou Jianping to go back to take a look, but he is really not interested in returning to his hometown, on the one hand, Zhou Jianping knows nothing about repairing houses and building houses, and he was not on the scene when his family repaired the house a few years ago, and almost everything was managed by his wife Chang Yuling.

In addition, Zhou Jianping's family repaired the house a few years ago, and when it was still difficult for him at that time, his parents did not help him. Of course, as far as Zhou Jianping's current strength is concerned, let alone contributing one-third to the house repair for his parents, even if it is completely funded by him, it is not a difficult thing for him, but things can't be done like that, because in essence, the parents' family repairs the house completely for the following brothers and sisters, which is the responsibility of parents to their children, and Zhou Jianping cannot overstep his responsibilities.

As for the wife and children in his hometown, Zhou Jianping felt that their food, clothing and expenses were indispensable, so he fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband and father, he worked hard outside, and the family cooking was completely handed over to his wife Chang Yuling. Zhou Jianping and Chang Yuling have been together less and more apart, and there is still a bit of freshness in the first two years of marriage, but with the deepening of the imprint left by the years on Chang Yuling, Zhou Jianping's contact with the society outside has become wider and wider, and the relationship between them has become more and more indifferent, so that the physiological needs between husband and wife have become dispensable.

Since the last time he went home, Zhou Jianping has not returned to his hometown for nearly half a year, and he did not even show up on the day when his parents' house repaired the house and invited guests more than a month ago.

One day after discussing work in the office, Zhao Xinmei kindly reminded: "Jianping, I remember that you haven't been back to your hometown for a long time, right?" When do you remember the last time you went back? ”

"Well, it's been about half a year, and I remember the last time I came back from my hometown, the first thing I did was to visit customers, and then solve the payment dispute in Guangming Mall."

"You have a good memory, and you can recall what you have done right away."

"I'm really confident in that, and I remember everything I've done since I started working." Zhou Jianping said.

"Don't you want your family to go back to your hometown for so long?"

"Hey, I am busy with things every day, so I live a very fulfilling life, and I don't have time to think about those family chores."

"With all due respect, I can't completely agree with your point of view, running such a big business, so that you have no time to take care of your hometown, I understand, but you can't ignore family trivialities." Zhao Xinmei said.

"As a husband and father, do I fulfill my responsibilities by providing my wife and children with enough food and clothing? You know, in my hometown, many of my parents, including my own father, and even my peers, couldn't do that. Since my wife Chang Yuling was four or five months pregnant, she has never worked in the field, and since the birth of the child, she has been at home with the child, and the little land in the family has long been contracted to others. Zhou Jianping said.

"Judging from the traditional concept of the villagers in your hometown, you are a very good husband and father, but don't forget, the pace of the times has entered the nineties of the twentieth century, and the standard of a good husband and father should have a new definition, right?"

"You may have seen that in business management and social situations, my concept has never lagged behind the times, but I am still a little conservative in family concept, I think a man, as long as he does a good job of supporting his family, then he is commendable."

"Maybe in the eyes of those villagers in your hometown, you have done a good enough job with your wife and children, but I don't think you can go back to your hometown to visit your family for half a year, which is unjustifiable anyway." Zhao Xinmei said.

In fact, Zhou Jianping was so busy before, his work was unstable, the company had not yet taken shape, he insisted on going back to his hometown once a month at most, since Zhao Xinmei came to Jiansheng Food Factory, Zhou Jianping knew very well that his mentality was slowly changing, especially when they participated in the last national order fair together, through that trip to the south, Zhao Xinmei took deep roots in Zhou Jianping's heart, and occasionally insomnia, Zhao Xinmei's image appeared in his mind the most times, although he hadn't met for a long time, The image of his wife Chang Yuling has never appeared in her mind.

Zhou Jianping didn't expect Zhao Xinmei to hold such a view, no wonder she mentioned this matter, in fact, to remind Zhou Jianping of the situation. "What you said makes sense, or I want to go back to my hometown in the next two days." Zhou Jianping pandered.

Since he met Ma Xingwei, a middle school classmate who drove a taxi, Zhou Jianping rarely took a long-distance bus when he returned to his hometown, and usually took a taxi home.

The yellow-faced one turned from the provincial road to the village dirt road leading to Yuanba Village in Xishan Township, and the driver said, "Director Zhou, the road surface is better than the last time, it seems that this road has been repaired." ”

Zhou Jianping suddenly remembered that he had a drink with the three main persons in charge of Yuanba Village in his hometown last time, and had raised this matter with them, "You guessed it, I saw the village chief and the branch secretary in the village last time, and I really raised this matter with them, maybe they reflected it to the township." ”

"Have you noticed? The car didn't get as bumpy as it was last time. ”

"It's not, it's much better than the last time, it may just be a cushion with sand and gravel, not a rebuild of the road, the township government has no money, and it can't afford to repair it."

The road is smoother, the driver can drive faster, Zhou Jianping arrived home at ten o'clock in the morning, Chang Yuling is leading the child to play outside the yard.

After getting out of the car, Zhou Jianping asked Chang Yuling to move things into the house, and he was going to pick up the child, and when he stretched out his arms to Maomao, the child ran into the yard with his mother.

"This guy, don't follow me!" Zhou Jianping muttered in his mouth, and after sending the driver away, he also entered the yard.

Chang Yuling didn't want to see Zhou Jianping's embarrassment, she encouraged: "Maomao, this is Dad, go over, let Dad hug you." ”

In the past, when she got home, Chang Yuling had to tease or ridicule Zhou Jianping a few words, but this time her attitude changed significantly, and Chang Yuling suddenly became polite, "Have you eaten?" I'll cook for you. ”

"Are you talking about breakfast or lunch?"

"Of course it's breakfast, it's not time for lunch yet."

Zhou Jianping took out a few biscuits and handed them over, but he didn't have any attraction to Maomao, and the child hid behind his mother instead, "What's the matter with you guy?" Not close to me at all. ”

Yuling said: "You don't want to think about it, the child hasn't seen you for half a year." ”
