When the first rays of sunlight shone into the bedroom in the morning, Mo Ming opened his sleepy eyes and barely got up, habitually picked up the horseshoe watch on the head of the bed and looked at the time, so he woke up the daughter-in-law beside him in a hurry.

Leaving the noisy FAW factory workshop, Mo Ming, who has not been able to fully adapt to the relaxed and comfortable office work in the eyes of others for several years, always feels that something is missing, although he goes to work step by step every day, deep down he feels more and more that a helpless twilight is gradually generated in his body.

After getting up, he washed up briefly, and listened to his daughter-in-law's chattering instructions, Mo Ming dressed up and walked out of the house to the vegetable market a few streets away. Mo Ming has long been accustomed to this peaceful life now, and he no longer has the resentment and resentment when he first stopped.

Mo Ming, who looks like a bookseller, has already perfected bargaining with hawkers after several years of training.

Today is the weekend, thinking that Aiko, who is studying at Chuncheng University, will go home to rest, Mo Ming generously bought a local chicken to add some nutrition to his son.

Seeing that the basket of vegetables in his hand was full, Mo Ming returned with satisfaction.

Although he has been transferred to the Provincial Planning and Economic Commission for more than two years, FAW obviously does not have the intention of relocating him so stingy.

Even if Mo Ming had a fierce conflict of ideas with the old man who had a high prestige in FAW and even Spring City, Mo Ming, who has lived and worked in FAW for one or two decades, still has super popularity and feelings in this familiar place.

Mo Ming, who was shopping home from the vegetable market, greeted acquaintances cordially along the way, and looked at the smiles on the faces of his former colleagues, Mo Ming sighed secretly in his heart, and the more helpless he was.

Back at home, a simple breakfast has been prepared, and with such a dull and repeated life, Mo Ming no longer has the initial resistance and anxiety.

After breakfast, Mo Ming came to the kitchen to chop the local chicken that had been preliminarily processed in the vegetable market.

When the daughter-in-law was young, she couldn't do heavy physical work because of a work injury, and all the heavy work at home that required a little physical strength was contracted by Mo Ming alone.

"Lao Mo, I met Lao Zhou yesterday, and I heard that he meant to let you come back to FAW, what do you think?"

Mo Ming's daughter-in-law Xu Aili is the same age as him, and the charm of a flower in the FAW factory is now undiminished, if it weren't for the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes becoming more and more obvious, it would be difficult to imagine that she was already in her forties.

In the kitchen, the chicken was cleanly chopped into pieces, and while the coal fire in the coal stove was lit, Mo Mingurn said in a loud voice: "If FAW had just been restructured for a while, maybe there would still be my place, and now it is estimated that I will not be of much use if I go." ”

A trace of envy flashed in Xu Aili's eyes, and she sighed: "If you hadn't had a dispute with Secretary Xia back then, if you survived these past few years, I'm afraid you would at least be a vice president or something in the current group company, right?" ”

His beloved wife's complaining words did not make Mo Ming angry, and after being slightly stunned, Mo Ming shook his head bitterly and said, "I don't care, I just let you suffer a little in the past two years." ”

"What is not bitter? Anyway, you are also a deputy department-level deputy inspector in the Provincial Planning and Economic Commission, and those who don't know how to do it may disdain you, but in our factory compound, who dares to grin at you Mo Ming? Xu Aili deliberately adjusted the atmosphere, she didn't want her man to be angry early in the morning.

Mo Ming put the side dishes such as chicken nuggets and mushrooms on the board into the stew pot, and when the bottom of the coal stove was on fire and the stew pot was tumbling non-stop, he plugged the mouth of the coal stove and carefully simmered slowly.

After washing his hands, Mo Ming sat on the sofa in the living room and made tea, picked up the evening newspaper of the previous day and read it slowly.

"I said Lao Mo, what kind of attitude did you have when I told you just now, Lao Zhou Ke said, I want to ask you for advice in person today!"

Xu Aili knew that her man had been almost worn out by the monotonous and boring work spirit in the past two years, but she couldn't help but be moved when she thought of FAW's intention to find Mo Ming again.

Since the beginning of this year, FAW has made frequent moves, and Xu Aili, who works in the logistics department of FAW Group Company, remembers the reborn changes of FAW after the restructuring.

Back then, Mo Ming wanted to change the bad situation of being powerless, and in just half a year, earth-shaking changes occurred, such a touching and happy situation Xu Aili naturally saw it in her heart.

"Lao Mo, I think you're thinking too much, since Lao Zhou has this idea, it means that FAW hasn't forgotten you." Xu Aili solemnly advised: "Wait for Lao Zhou to come, you can speak well, but don't raise the bar with others again before you say a few words!" ”

Mo Ming waved his hand lightly, but his expression made Xu Aili sigh for a while, and she naturally knew the temper of her own man.

"Lao Mo, what kind of means did you say the new young mayor used to make such a big change in FAW?" Looking up at the time, it was just over eight o'clock, thinking that it would be later for the beloved son of Chuncheng University to go home, Xu Aili sat on the sofa opposite Mo Ming and chatted with nothing to do.

Xu Aili's unintentional words aroused Mo Ming's great interest, put down the evening newspaper in his hand, Mo Ming took two sips of fragrant tea, and said quietly: "Mayor Chen is amazing!" Such a weight-lifting method is not easy for ordinary people to play at all, and it is indeed worthy of being the creator of the miracle of Yicheng back then! ”

"Old Mo, I heard that the mayor is not yet thirty years old, is it true?" Xu Aili's heart of gossip suddenly rose.

Mo Ming nodded slightly, and said with a complicated expression: "This is what I admire the most, what are we still doing at the age of thirty?" ”

Xu Aili sneered, gently twisted her own man and smiled: "You don't know what to do?" Yangyang was five years old at that time, and you were striving to be the workshop director, as for me, of course, I would do a good job of logistics for you! ”

"Hehe, time flies really fast, and in a blink of an eye, Yangyang has already gone to college!" Thinking of the passionate young years of the past, Mo Ming sighed again.

There was a knock at the door.

"Isn't it, Lao Zhou actually came so early?"

Xu Aili was a little surprised, ordinary people don't necessarily get up at this time on the weekend, and it is difficult for Lao Zhou to really value his own man.

Mo Ming was also a little strange, got up and said, "I'll come!" ”

Opened the door, adjusted his mood and was still thinking about how to greet Lao Zhou, and a familiar young face appeared in front of him, which surprised Mo Ming.

A tall and handsome man in a suit stood in front of Mo Ming, and said with a light smile: "It's Comrade Mo Ming, right?" ”

Mo Ming's mind was blank, he never dreamed that the young mayor who was still talking to his daughter-in-law just now would actually appear in front of him.

Chen ...... Mayor Chen? Mo Ming's mouth was dry, his face was filled with indescribable excitement, and he hurriedly smiled dryly: "Mayor Chen...... You're inside please! ”

Xu Aili's eyes were round, she was just an ordinary employee of FAW, and she was surprised that Chen Youwei, the mayor of a provincial capital city that can only be seen on TV, appeared in her home, and the incredible shock on her face made her sober up for a long time.

"This is my sister-in-law, right?"

Chen Youwei stretched out his hand and gently shook hands with Xu Aili, who was still indifferent, and said, "I'm really sorry to disturb me so early!" ”

Mo Ming rubbed his hands, happily and hesitantly let Chen Youwei sit down on the sofa, and tried to calm his mind and said: "Mayor Chen has every opportunity, and it is really a little difficult to come to my snail's house. ”

Looking up at Mo Ming's three-bedroom room, the arrangement of household appliances shows that as a leading cadre of a certain level, Mo Ming's living conditions are okay.

"I thought you were living in the Provincial Planning and Economic Commission, but when I inquired, I found out that you haven't moved out of here." Chen Youwei smiled faintly: "It's just that the distance to work is a little farther, right?" ”

"The housing at the Provincial Planning and Economic Commission is also very tight, but fortunately, FAW takes care of me."

The peaceful attitude of the young mayor in front of him aroused Mo Ming's great favor, not to mention being able to visit him at such a rest time on weekends, no matter what the other party's intentions were, it was enough to make Mo Ming have a good impression.

Chen Youwei didn't come up and said what he meant, after all, it was only the first time he met the other party.

Smelling the rich aroma of chicken soup wafting from the kitchen, Chen Youwei joked with a smile: "It seems that Comrade Mo Ming's food is not bad, well, I smell it, this is chicken stewed mushrooms!" ”

Xu Aili finally reacted, served the brewed fragrant tea with both hands, and said a little embarrassedly: "The kid at home came back to rest today, isn't this to add some nutrition to him!" ”

Chen Youwei said with a smile: "Comrade Mo Ming's family is happy, it's really enviable!" ”

Mo Ming, who has never smoked, didn't think of the meaning of handing cigarettes to the young mayor in front of him, or Xu Aili, who reacted quickly to things in this scene, took out the cigarettes that he usually treats guests and handed them to Chen Youwei.

"I heard that Comrade Mo Ming also worked in FAW before?" Chen Youwei has actually done a lot of homework, and he knows more about Mo Ming than most of the old people in FAW.

"Yes, before I went to the Provincial Planning and Economic Commission, I was the director of the branch factory in charge of car production on the FAW side!" Mo Ming was suspicious in his heart, and he had no time to think too much, so he honestly described his situation briefly.

"Oh? FAW negotiated cooperation with Audi back then, which you specifically handled? This point was somewhat unexpected by Chen Youwei.

"I'm ashamed to say that FAW was too keen on the so-called joint venture and cooperation impulse at that time, although I tried my best in some things, but I still couldn't prevent the factory from buying an outdated production line from Audi, and now I really regret it!" Mo Ming's eyes were confused, and he sighed.

Chen Youwei stared at Mo Ming with blazing eyes and said in a deep voice: "At that time, you had a fierce dispute with Secretary Xia. This is why he has been transferred from the promising FAW to the inactive Provincial Planning and Economic Commission as a deputy inspector who no one pays attention to, isn't it? ”
