Chapter 022: Old Friends Come to Meet

"Let my mother be laid off?"

This sudden news made Lu Yuan a little surprised.

In particular, in the past two years, the restructuring of state-owned enterprises has led to the reduction of surplus labor as a way to reduce the burden and pressure on enterprises. Just like the Hanger Cotton Factory in Chengxiang Town, it was successfully transformed and restructured a few years ago, when a large number of workers were laid off, either buying out their seniority to find a way out, or they were recruited into private home textile factories such as Jinsheng Home Textiles, Siyu and Ikes.

Lu Yuan knew that the Hangsan Cotton Factory had been implementing the restructuring of state-owned enterprises for more than half a year, and it was shouting every day to streamline its organization and reduce its establishment. As soon as the laid-off workers were reported, it was not a day or two in their factory.

But this kind of thing is really spread on his family, and when Lu Yuan heard it at first glance, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart!

He looked at his mother, who looked gloomy and bleak, and asked, "Mom, is there a list of laid-off workers in this factory?" ”

Wu Xiuqin originally wanted to hide from Lu Yuan, after all, Lu Yuan worked in the second sales department, and she heard Lu Qingshan say that this department was an important department in the factory to implement reforms, and the leaders of the factory attached great importance to it. She didn't want to affect Lu Yuan's work mood and delay the child's future because of her own affairs.

Now that Lu Qingshan has told the child everything in his loud voice, Wu Xiuqin has no intention of hiding it, she shook her head and said, "That's not yet." Listening to Mr. Wang, this time the factory selected several departments and departments to do laid-off pilots, and our non-production departments such as labor insurance stations, guest houses, and warehousing departments have been circled as pilots. He said that the department heads of these departments had a meeting with them, which meant that each pilot department would report two candidates on its own, and then the factory would hold a meeting to discuss and finally make a decision. Later, he asked me to talk to your Aunt Xu, thinking that the two of us would take the initiative to be laid off, and he would report it. ”

Lu Yuan asked again: "Why did he talk to you and Aunt Xu without others looking for him, and let the two of you take the initiative to be laid off?" ”

Wu Xiuqin said: "He said, in the entire labor insurance station, I am older than your Aunt Xu, I am forty-seven this year, and your Aunt Xu is just fifty, anyway, it is not a few years before retirement, it is better for us to carry forward the spirit, take the initiative to lay off, reduce the pressure and burden for the factory, and also set an example for people in other departments and departments!" ”

"Whew!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Qingshan on the sofa was angry again, and scolded: "This damn Wang's head, do you say it's angry?" He also knows that whoever he recommends on the list is a matter of offending people, so he asked your mother to take the initiative to be laid off. This bastard, when I was in the workshop, I knew this guy wasn't a good bird! ”

"Okay, stop scolding, isn't it undecided?" Wu Xiuqin glared at Lu Qingshan, then pointed to the cigarettes and wine on the coffee table, and said, "That's why I asked you to go with me to Stationmaster Wang's house to see if this matter can be accommodating." You're still doing it. The county officials might as well be in charge now, don't you understand this truth? It's a shame that you watch the Three Kingdoms every day and say that you understand the affairs of the world, do you accompany me? ”

"Don't go!" Lu Qingshan shook his head resolutely and said, "You can go to anyone's house to give gifts, but you don't go to Wang's head's house!" I can't afford to lose that man! ”

"You ......" Wu Xiuqin was so angry that she trembled.

"Don't say it, talk to you and Aunt Xu, and let the two of you take the initiative to be laid off, Uncle Wang is quite good at picking people." Lu Yuan said suddenly.

Well?

Lu Qingshan and Wu Xiuqin looked at Lu Yuan in unison.

Lu Qingshan scolded angrily: "Little rabbit cub, where are you?" Wang's big head made your mother laid off, and you still think he is reasonable, don't you? ”

"Dad, don't be anxious," Lu Yuan sat on the sofa and patiently explained to Lu Qingshan, "Standing in his position, the factory leaders asked to recommend two laid-off quotas, and they, the small leaders at the grassroots level, can they still oppose it?" Now everyone in the factory knows that our No. 3 cotton factory is carrying out reforms, and if he dares to oppose the reform policy implemented by the leaders above, believe it or not, he will be the first to be laid off. Although there were more than a dozen people in the entire labor insurance station, he only found his mother and Aunt Xu and asked them to take the initiative to be laid off, which was a bit treacherous and tricky, but he did not find the wrong person. You calculate, my mother is forty-eight, Aunt Xu is fifty, do you calculate how many years they have to retire? ”

Lu Qingshan said: "What's the point of calculation, according to the retirement age in the factory in previous years, your mother is still six or seven years away from retirement." ”

According to the retirement years in the factory in previous years, men can retire when they are 60 years old and women until they are 55 years old. Typically, lesbians retire between the ages of fifty and fifty-five. A few years ago, there was a policy that children could work at the top of the class, and many people retired at the age of 50 and let their children go to work in the factory. There are also some people who are not in good health and will choose to apply for retirement at the age of 50. Of course, there are also people who are wealthy and do not want to continue working in the workshop, and will choose to retire at the age of 50. But like Wu Xiuqin, who has always been in good health, and his family income depends on his and Lu Qingshan's monthly salaries, how can he be willing to retire early if he doesn't work until his retirement age?

"That's right, he doesn't look for older workers like my mother and Aunt Xu, does he still go to young people in their twenties to persuade them to be laid off?" Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"Who do I care he looks for? He loves to find whomever he wants! Lu Qingshan was so angry that he slapped the cigarette case in his hand on the coffee table.

Lu Yuan thought for a while and said: "Dad, Mom, in my opinion, the reform in the factory should continue to be deepened, and layoffs will inevitably happen...... Look at the Hanger Cotton Factory in Chengxiang Town, how brilliant it was back then, and it didn't ...... later."

"What a batch of laid-off people, you say something unlucky! Can Hangzhou No. 2 Cotton Factory be compared with our No. 3 Cotton Factory? Our three cotton factories have been through ups and downs for decades, and we have never seen rain leaking from the roof! Lu Qingshan said disdainfully.

Wu Xiuqin, who was standing on the edge of the sofa, listened to it, and also felt that it was not a taste, she frowned, and asked Lu Yuan a little angrily: "Son, listen to what you mean, do you still hope that your mother and I will agree to come down, take the initiative to be laid off, and set an example?" ”

"Don't be a role model!" Lu Qingshan also laughed angrily: "Our Lu family started from your grandfather, he was a model worker in the city, and I was an excellent worker in the factory. In 98 years of the Yangtze River flood fight, the factory called on employees to donate money to support the disaster area, and our family donated 300 yuan at once, and also became a donation pacesetter in the factory. However, our family just can't set an example! ”

"Okay, okay, you have a child, don't get involved with adults, go to your class."

Wu Xiuqin waved her hand and said to Lu Yuan: "Your mother has planned it, and then she will earn a salary for six or seven years, and then she will help you take care of the children when she retires." Now that I'm suddenly laid off early, what should I do? It is impossible to be laid off, I have no opinion on who is laid off, but let your mother and I be laid off, then I have to ask the factory leaders, I Wu Xiuqin entered Hang Sanmian in my twenties, I dedicated my youth to the factory, why do you want me to be laid off? ”

"Yes, daughter-in-law, hard! That's the kind of confidence you need! Lu Qingshan couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised.

Wu Xiuqin rolled her eyes and scolded: "Then Stationmaster Wang's house, do you still accompany me?" ”

"I ...... I'm with you! Lu Qingshan stood up from the sofa, patted his buttocks, and said, "I don't believe it, his big head came out of the same workshop as me, and this little face will not be sold to me." Hmph, whoever is laid off can't find my daughter-in-law to operate, right? ”

"Then carry something, hurry up!"

Wu Xiuqin looked at the wall clock on the wall and muttered, "Grind, it's almost nine o'clock!" ”

Lu Qingshan answered, picked up the red bag containing tobacco and alcohol, and went out directly with Wu Xiuqin.

Hang Lu Yuan directly on the sofa.

Lu Yuan looked at his parents in a daze, eh, this is reconciled again......

However, the matter of being laid off has always lingered in his mind and lingered.

He used to always listen to the deepening reform in the factory, but he felt that these things were far away from him, but today's mother's incident made him feel that the reform was so close to him.

……

The next day was Saturday, the weekend.

He slept until he woke up naturally, and when he got up, it was already ten o'clock. Mom and Dad went out early in the morning, but left him breakfast.

He was about to heat up a hot porridge when his phone rang in his bedroom. The waveguide mobile phone is really worthy of the fighter in the mobile phone, this ringtone is really loud, and it can be heard clearly in the living room.

It's an unfamiliar number.

He picked it up, and a man's voice immediately came from the phone: "Hey, Lu Yuan, guess who I am?" ”

"Can't guess, who are you?" Lu Yuan really couldn't guess this voice.

"Open your window and look downstairs!"

Lu Yuan sighed, walked to the windowsill with his mobile phone, opened the curtains and opened the window, poked his head out and looked downstairs, there was a young man in a plaid shirt, tilting his head, holding the mobile phone in one hand to his ear, and waving to Lu Yuan with one hand.

"Do you recognize who I am?" The voice on the phone asked.

"Mao Daqing?"

Lu Yuan recognized it, although he didn't play with him much after going to college, but since graduating from high school, Mao Daqing hasn't changed much.

"Hehe, it seems that you kid hasn't forgotten me, a high school friend, and you haven't swelled up in college." Mao Daqing teased on his mobile phone.

Lu Yuan said: "Stop talking nonsense, when did you come back?" Isn't it in Yiwu? ”

"I came home last night. Feed...... You're not going to take a cell phone with me, I'm downstairs with my head up, and you're leaning over upstairs and talking like that, right? Mao Daqing said.

Lu Yuan also felt funny, beckoned to him, and asked him to come up.

Mao Daqing shook his head and said, "I won't go up, you come down, I'll invite you to drink cold drinks, just to talk to you about something." ”

"Well, okay, I'll get out of my clothes and come down."

Lu Yuan hung up the phone and closed the window.

Five minutes later.

He saw downstairs a high school friend he hadn't seen for many years, Mao Daqing.

"You kid is getting more and more handsome, listen to Ermao, you are mixing well now." Mao Daqing raised his fist and gently slapped it on Lu Yuan's left shoulder.

"Generally handsome, don't dare to be handsome."

Lu Yuan replied with a smile, looking at Mao Daqing in front of him, there was really no change, he was still thin and tall.

But this dress is really getting more and more sassy, wearing a plaid shirt, stud earrings, and dyed burgundy hair. As soon as he saw this hair, Lu Yuan remembered that when he was in high school, this kid was ordered by the teacher to cut his hair into a small flat head because of the matter of dyeing his hair. Now that he is out of school, no one cares about him, and he gets his wish, and he can dye it whatever color he wants.

Mao Daqing saw Lu Yuan looking at him, spread his hands exaggeratedly, and said with a smile: "Do you think buddy is getting more and more fashionable now?" ”

"I don't think so."

Lu Yuanle said: "Your red head, with such a flower shirt, looks like a flower magpie." Walking on the road, aren't you afraid of being watched? ”

Mao Daqing said indifferently: "Walking on the street, that's not called onlookers, that's called turning back!" ”

"Okay......"

Lu Yuan asked, "You just said that you were looking for me to do something, what are you talking about?" It's not at my house yet, I have to go outside to say it, it's so grand. ”

Mao Daqing said: "Let you take a hand and do a pen business together." ”

"Last time you said that the low-price cotton yarn business?"

Lu Yuan remembered that he mentioned it once on QQ, but he refused. If it's lower than the market price, you can't take it at all.

Mao Daqing shook his head and said, "Cotton yarn is Lao Huangli's business." I'm talking about the computer business. ”

"What computer business?"

Lu Yuan was a little baffled by him, whether it was buying or selling, it seemed that he couldn't get involved in this computer business.
