In Luoyang in the early morning, the sky is gray. Relying on Yituo, there are many supporting small factories around, as well as local necessary factories, and the exhaust smoke emitted affects the air quality over the city. It gives people the immediate impression of Europe in the industrial era.

Li Lu found that in the industrial cities of this era, the air quality was not as good as imagined. It's just that people nowadays don't have any environmental awareness, and the smoke billowing over the city is not frightening, but rather exciting and exciting—the most direct reflection of the level of industrial development in a region.

Li Lu and Guo Hanwei, Zhang Weiwei and Lin Peisen, after breakfast, went to reconnoiter in two separate ways. Although Zhang Weiwei has never served in the army, the defense section of the military factory is actually not much different from the army. In order to do things as a soldier, it is necessary to conduct reconnaissance before the war, and first find out the situation of the target clearly, and then formulate a targeted action plan.

Don't fight unprepared battles.

Li Lu and Guo Hanwei's first target was Kong Daquan, a thirty-five-year-old seventh-level fitter. In the list pulled out by Liu Guisong, Kong Daquan ranked first, and emphasized that for the newborn Red Star Factory, a skilled worker like Kong Daquan is the most important, and he is the one with the most family pressure.

Before he walked a few steps out of the guest house, he saw Liu Guisong walking from the street in a hurry, and when he raised his eyes and saw Li Lu and Guo Hanwei, he hurried over.

"Section Chief Li, early." Liu Guisong said hello.

Li Lu looked at Liu Guisong and said with a smile, "Xiao Liu, you are in good spirits today." ”

"To be honest, I finally got some oil and water last night, and the canteen in the factory was full of cabbage every day during this time." Liu Guisong scratched his head slightly embarrassed, "Thank you for your hospitality last night." ”

Guo Hanwei took a cigarette in his mouth, took a puff, waved his hand and said, "Cadre Liu, it's not me Guo Hanwei who brags, follow my third brother, and let you eat fragrant and drink spicy food, and make pork belly every day!" ”

Li Lu glared at him, "Be polite, don't make a social attitude to everyone." ”

"I know the third brother, what is the social attitude?" Guo Hanwei scratched his head and asked.

Li Lu didn't bother to pay attention to him, and asked Liu Guisong, "Xiao Liu, it seems that you have made a decision." ”

"Yes, Section Chief Li." Liu Guisong hesitated for a moment and said, "If you leave your job without pay, I'm willing to go over and give it a try, I don't know if you can accept it." ”

"Of course there is no problem, it is understandable, leave a way back, and the family will be more down-to-earth." Li Ludao.

Liu Guisong was embarrassed, "That's what it means at home." ”

If it weren't for the fact that life was too difficult, his family would never have agreed to him doing so. I'm almost out of food, what's the use of holding a formation, but even at this point, I'm still unwilling to give up the establishment. What's more, Liu Guisong's family economic situation is not good, he is in his twenties, and he doesn't even have a partner, how can he talk about a partner if he can't eat enough. The family was in a hurry, so he reluctantly agreed to let him go to the south to try his luck without pay to make money.

For Li Lu, as long as the people are in place, other problems can be solved slowly.

"That's it, let's go, Xiao Liu, follow me to check Kong Daquan." Li Ludao.

Liu Guisong took Li Lu and Guo Hanwei all the way to the area on the edge of the Yituo factory, and introduced in a low voice, "Kong Daquan's younger brother used to be an employee of the city's fertilizer factory, and it is said that because of a conflict with the people in the factory, he burned down the entire workshop. When people go in, their family pays everything they can pay for it. Kong Daquan's parents were not in good health, but this time, they fell ill directly, and they have been seeking medical treatment everywhere for the past two years. Alas, the medical expenses of the elderly alone are not a small amount. Kong Daquan has three children, the eldest has gone to junior high school, and the youngest is only five years old. No, now there is no work in the factory, so he secretly went to the small factory outside to do odd jobs to earn some money to make a living. ”

Li Lu asked strangely, "What about his wife?" ”

Shaking his head, Liu Guisong said, "The specific situation is not clear, the year Lao Kong's younger brother had an accident, Lao Kong's wife ran away." ”

It is conceivable that two frail and sickly old people and three children are all pressed on Kong Daquan's shoulders, and the pressure can be imagined. Just risking being fired and going out to do odd jobs fully illustrates one point - not to the point of desperation, a dignified seventh-level fitter will not do this.

Li Lu decided in his heart that he could find an opportunity to meet with Kong Daquan today and talk directly, in such a situation, the most appropriate way to cut through the mess is to cut through the mess quickly.

Walking through the streets and alleys, passing by the bicycle traffic with jingling bells, watching the pedestrians hurrying on the road carrying vegetable baskets from time to time to the cyclists cast envious glances, listening to Liu Guisong's introduction and the shouts from time to time, Li Lu couldn't help but wrap the scarf around his neck, and really felt the atmosphere of the early morning of this era.

The distance was not close, and after walking around for more than an hour, Liu Guisong pointed to a dilapidated factory in front of him and said, "Third brother, the front is it." ”

chatted all the way for more than an hour, Liu Guisong also followed Guo Hanwei to call the third brother, since he decided to follow Li Lugan, he was no longer hypocritical. Take 10,000 steps back and say, no matter how bad it is, there is still a teacher there, he has nothing to worry about.

Obviously, Liu Guisong is attentive to this matter. It's all about Ma Jintao's face, there is no doubt that Liu Guisong has already begun to pay attention, otherwise he would definitely not know so clearly, and even know so clearly where Kong Daquan's small factory does odd jobs privately.

"Is this a mechanic shop?" Li Lu asked.

Liu Guisong replied, "Yes, the boss turned out to be an employee of the city repair shop, and the scale is not large, but I heard that the business is good. ”

Li Lu nodded slightly, he remembered another time and space in the early nineties, there were repair shops everywhere, large and small, with certificates and unlicensed, there were hundreds in the urban area alone, not including those roadside stalls that started to repair tires and simple machine repairs.

That wave of layoffs is still far away, but now some people have keenly sensed the chill of winter and have made plans early. In the 80s, when there was an extreme shortage of vehicles, there was even more shortage of maintenance technicians. This is an era when a car breaks down and requires a mechanic to repair it.

There is the craft of repairing cars, and all the towns and villages have to beg you to come to work, not only the price is easy to say, but also to eat and drink well.

A skilled worker like Kong Daquan can live a very prosperous life in any private factory. If he hadn't been forced to do this by the pressure of life, he would never have come to such a small factory to do odd jobs.

The repair shop was busy, Liu Guisong looked around and saw Kong Daquan. Kong Daquan was repairing a dismantled engine, Liu Guisong patted him on the shoulder, Kong Daquan turned around, saw Liu Guisong clearly, and was so frightened that he threw away the wrench in his hand.

"Officer Xiao Liu, you, you, why are you here?" Kong Daquan looked left and right, not knowing how to explain the current scene.

If he secretly did his private work to the factory, his job would be lost.

Liu Guisong comforted him with a smile and said, "Master Kong, don't be nervous, I came to you on purpose, there are two guests from the south who want to talk to you." ”

"Looking for me?" Kong Daquan looked at Liu Guisong suspiciously, "Director Liu, weren't you sent by the factory to arrest me?" ”

"Lao Kong, what are you talking about, what am I going to do with you, let's go, take a step to speak." Liu Guisong pulled Kong Daquan and walked out.

Li Lu and Guo Hanwei found a secluded place outside and stood there waiting.
