Episode 26 Tian Xingjian (22) Fighting alone
More than 40 square meters of two-bedroom, the big room is for guests, sleep at night is Lu Shang's two sons, plus two minor daughters, the room is paralyzed brother and Lu father and Lu mother live, the house is stinky, can not live at all, in the narrow corridor between the two rooms, there is a toilet that can only be entered by one person, and then there is the balcony, Lu Shang and his wife go home, the first thing is to 'ride a donkey upside down' After the donkey's unloading, sent to the balcony, this thing is a family of two to increase income, although the wife is a hawker, but her salary is more than three times that of Lu Shang, that is, it is usually harder, in order to also have two daughters to enter the university in the future, as a dowry.
Facing Guo Kaishan and his family talking and laughing, Lu Shang was not in a hurry to chat with Guo Kaishan, and his wife gulped down the rest of the food on the table, maybe he was too hungry, only to see that the things on the table were rapidly decreasing, and even the last bite of food and the last sip of wine made the couple eat up.
'One, you haven't seen it, this is my home!' Lu Shang's smiling face hid a sad expression.
'Your family, I think it's much stronger than my family, my family is rural, you know no, my family has a total of six brothers and two sisters, that day, during the turmoil, don't mention it, where are you! In order to close the distance between him and Lu Shang, Guo Kaishan seemed very optimistic.
'Don't tease me, are you laughing at me!' Lu Shang said again.
"I don't believe you look at my files, I really have so many buddies and brothers in my family, but now they are all better and all of them are out of luck," Guo Kaishan said with great certainty.
When Lu's father and mother saw their son and daughter-in-law come back, they also wanted to withdraw, and when Lu's father planned to let Lu Shang hug his brother, Guo Kaishan stepped forward to pick up the paralyzed man first, and after more than an hour of cleaning of the niece, the body odor of the paralyzed man was reduced a lot. You don't have to hold your breath when you pick it up.
In order not to interfere with the rest of his family, Lu Shang proposed to go out for a walk with Guo Kaishan, and Guo Kaishan said, 'Just what I want!' ’
Most of the family areas of the shoe factory of the military region are small buildings built in the fifties and sixties of the last century, and these small red brick buildings are all three-story buildings, and most of the families are the same as Lu Shang's family, with their fathers and sons working in the shoe factories of the military region.
'One. I think let's find a leeward place to stay, I have been freezing all night, 'Although I have eaten, Lu Shang's clothes have not been added, and it is obviously not as much as Guo Kaishan wears.
'Then let's go to the watchtower!' Guo Kaishan saw that the lights were on on the side of the watchtower, so he pushed his bicycle over.
A change of heads, saw someone pushing the door in, Lu Shang he knew, Guo Kaishan he didn't know. 'I'm back!' ’
"Well, it's really cold on this TMD day, you're always on duty tonight!" This watchtower belongs to the management of the neighborhood committee of the family area of the shoe factory. The old man who fights the watch, every once in a while, has to go out for a walk to prevent fire and theft. Give him more than ten yuan a month, which is counted as an allowance.
Yes, it's me this week. I'm on the day shift next week, what's the matter, I'm a guest, I can't stay at home, I'm here to warm up! While listening to the radio, the old man looked at Guo Kaishan and looked him up and down.
'Guys, this is the new No. 1 in our factory, you don't know him! Lu Shang had to introduce Guo Kaishan to others, and the family area of this shoe factory was also under Guo Kaishan's management.
'Number one? You say he's number one? It was hard for the old man to believe that a young student in his thirties would be the No. 1 head of the shoe factory in this military region.
'Yes, I'm the new factory director, my name is Guo Kaishan,' Guo Kaishan introduced himself.
'Hey, the world has really changed, when I see you today, do you know what I remembered?' ’
'What do you keep remembering?' ’
'I think of the first liberation meeting, the cadres in the factory at that meeting, they are all as young as you, but now it is different, now they all have to talk about seniority, it's not that I sell the old with the old, you are the number one, is it also a trust relationship! The old man went straight to the point, and suddenly put Guo Kaishan on the other side.
Guo Kaishan smiled, "What you always said is right, I did come here on the basis of relationships, but I am not what you always imagined, I am not short of money, and my family is ruthless!" ’
"Then what are you from, yes, the gilded one, stay for a year or two and then leave, I've seen a lot, okay, okay, I won't talk to you anymore, I have to go out for a walk, you help me watch the house!" The old man didn't want to entangle with Guo Kaishan anymore, so he went out with a flashlight.
When Lu Shang saw that the old man was far away, he smiled and said, "Everyone in our compound is like this, this old man is about the same age as my father, and he worked in the factory during the puppet Manchurian period." ’
"Oh, no wonder you're rushing so much, by the way, Lao Lu, why have you been avoiding me lately!" ’
'Hide from you, do I have it?' Lu Shang said solemnly.
If you don't hide from me, why can't you see you!' ’
'You say this, I'm doing your bidding, I'm going to ask for money,'
'It's all over? ’
'No, there's still one family left, and I'm not going to come back! ’
How so? ’
This is a military service agency opened by the former No. 1 brother-in-law, usually it is to press a batch of goods to settle the bill, like, you first send you a batch of goods, and then, he sells almost, you send him another batch, he gives you the last batch of settlement, the cycle is like this, now you don't talk to the factory, don't ship to him, so I went several times in a row, I didn't want to come back, always said that I owed, because of the face of the old No. 1, I can't object, it just so happens that my daughter-in-law is selling fruit near them. I went to his shop every day, and I made an appointment to touch him, and if he was happy one day, he settled the account for me. ’
'And how much money does he owe to our factory?' ’
'A hundred thousand! ’
'Oh, he's a big deal,'
'Who says it's not, this kid makes money but it's black, real people ask for a price, if you meet a must, it's like a soldier who made someone steal clothes or something, his forty yuan of clothes, he really dares to ask for sixty, it's black! ’
'Okay, you don't have to ask him for it tomorrow, I'll solve his business!' ’
'You're going to solve it?' By the way, I still want to ask you, I heard that at the end of the month, you want to stop the salaries of officers. Give the workers a start, is there such a thing? ’
'Yes, I'm here today to study this with you. ’
'Hey, you're looking for me to research?' I'm a few levels behind you, there are so many leaders in the factory, you don't go to study, come to my house every day and wait for me, what do you want to study? ’
'You haven't come to work for the past two days, I have to inform you, you are now a member of our factory reform team!' ’
'Panelists. Who are they? ’
'I, the political commissar, No. 3, the chief of the finance and accounting section, the director of the factory department and you! ’
'Me? Don't tease No. 1, what can I do? ’
'You can sell, of course you've got to have you.' ’
'Can you reform by selling goods?' This is the first time I've heard of it, and it's okay, number one. Don't tease me anymore, don't you just go to work tomorrow, I can't designate to go, you see I'm tired all day. Would it be nice for me to go back to sleep? ’
Looking at the background of Lu Shang's departure, Guo Kaishan felt that Lu Shang still didn't trust him very much, at least. Now he doesn't want to talk to him Guo Kaishan about a word in his heart.
When Guo Kaishan returned home, his wife Guan Yue immediately smelled the unique smell of his home. 'Hey, I said, did you go to dig the cat building at night, why do you stink so much!' ’
Son Guo Xiaoshan also smelled the stench of his father's mixed body, "I see, it's not my father who took out the cat building, it's just that he himself fell into it, so he let people fish it out!" ’
Guo Kaishan stepped forward and hugged his son, "Boy, Lao Tzu still has what you said, aren't you afraid of the smell on me, I'll let you see it today!" ’
The father and son finally went to the bathroom to take a bath, and when Guan Yue finished arranging for his son to sleep, he returned to the bedroom and said in a serious manner, "Are you experiencing any difficulties, why did you come back so late recently!" ’
Guo Kaishan also felt particularly tired recently, he was lying on the bed, facing the ceiling, the Hong Kong-made crystal lamp was even brighter, swaying, like a kaleidoscope, 'It's tired, I've never felt so tired, I feel now that I'm fighting alone, everyone around me doesn't help me, even if there are a few who can do it with me, they are all forced on the chariot by me, it seems that this business is really not easy to tidy!" ’
'Do you need me to help you analyze it?' Guan Yue climbed onto the bed and lay side by side with her husband, also looking at the crystal lamp on the other side.
"I can't ask for it, you are a strong woman who has been crisscrossing the mall for many years, you listen to me first, and see if I do it right," and then Guo Kaishan told his wife Guan Yue about the current situation of the shoe factory in the military region.
After thinking for a long time, Guan Yue took out a pen and paper from the bedside table and scratched them on the paper, "You are doing the right thing, but you are too stingy in business, you think that you will stop the salaries of the officers and become powerful, I don't think so, this has caused you to stand on the opposite side of the masses." ’
'So what I'm doing is wrong?' Guo Kaishan wanted to hear what the bystanders had to say.
"It's not wrong to be wrong, since you have prepared to stop paying the salaries of the officers for the first month, then stop, don't change your mind temporarily, this will make people see that you have a feeling of and sitting back, I think you can do this, use the inventory to top the salary of the month, it is best for you to make up a magnificent reason to come out, so that the big guy understands you, after the end of this month, you don't have thirty days, in that case, everything will be solved," Guan Yue scratched a few villains on the paper, and under the villain, the names of the interests were written, It can be seen that Guo Kaishan is very clear.
"Yes, anyway, there is so much inventory that it is enough to cover the salary, so tell me, can these people agree?" ’
'Lao Wang sells melons, sells himself and boasts, don't you always say that you are a political cadre, there are still a few days until the end of the month, you can find this reason, and what you said about the military clothing club, I think you did it right, first cut off their goods, I don't believe it, they can establish an offensive and defensive alliance, it won't take a few days, and when they run out of goods, they will naturally take the initiative to send money to you, I dare to guarantee that their hearts are not necessarily so aligned! ’
Guo Kaishan made Guan Yue suddenly open up, grabbed Guan Yue's face and kissed him several times.
'Bad mouth, no brushing of teeth!' Although Guan Yue said this, her heart was beautiful.
"Who said I didn't brush it, I used your lion king, and I brushed it for a few minutes!" ’
'That's your bad mouth, did you drink again at night?' ’
'Drink, not too much, just half a bottle!' ’
"Half a bottle is not good, you remember, if you want to do that at night, don't drink, it's not good, it hurts your body." ’
'I see, no more examples!' Come on, my little darling! (To be continued......)
