Half an hour later, Qi Jie carried the signed contract of suspension without pay, took the bedding and clothes packed from the dormitory, and rode out of the gate of the steel mill with Qi Yuanchao.

Qi Yuanchao was holding a Bishan cigarette in his mouth, which was called "Black Wheel" at the time.

This is a cigar-type cigarette, which is very powerful and generally unaccustomed to smoking by young people, but it is a favorite of old smokers.

Since leaving the rolling mill, I've been smoking three cigarettes now, Lao Qi, Lao Qi, your addiction to smoking is too big, right...... Qi Jie muttered in his heart.

I have to find a way to get Lao Qi to quit smoking.

Otherwise, if you continue to smoke like this, it is estimated that you will follow the old path of your previous life.

"What are you going to do after you leave without pay?"

After walking out of the factory gate, Qi Yuanchao asked faintly.

He was one of the first employees of the Maishu Steel Plant, where he has been working and living for more than twenty years, from the establishment of the steel mill in the early seventies.

For him, the steel mill is everything.

Therefore, Comrade Lao Qi did not understand why Qi Jie was suspended from his post without pay.

Qi Jie didn't have any plans.

He plans to rest at home for a while, slow down, feel the feeling of living with his parents again, and then think about ways to make money.

"I haven't thought about the specifics yet, but don't worry, it's definitely better than working in the factory, and it will be much stronger."

Worried that Qi Yuanchao would preach again, Qi Jie added after finishing speaking:

"I don't want to be in the factory at a young age."

Qi Yuanchao glanced at him, and then flicked the cigarette ash:

"Your mother is still waiting for Xin'er at home, don't say anything when you go back later, let me explain it to her, otherwise I will definitely talk to her."

These words made Qi Jie very emotional.

It's still the old father who is dedicated to his children in my memory.

Father and son are riding on an asphalt road, and in front of them is the city of Mai, which has just been established for a year.

This is a young city built on the basis of steel mills, and the entire urban area is in ruins, and all units are vigorously engaged in construction.

Right next to the city is the Maishu Reservoir.

The mountains in the distance are reflected on the water, and the scenery is pleasant.

In terms of geographical environment, Maishu has mountains and rivers, beautiful scenery, and is very suitable for retirement.

However, the city, which was founded on the basis of steel mills, later fell into decline due to the decay of steel mills.

The urban area of Maishu is not flat, and a small hill pops up in the middle of the urban area, which is called Ruzan.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a courtyard of five large tiled houses, with two plane trees and some fruits and vegetables planted in the yard, which is Qi Jie's home.

Come to the courtyard.

Father and son push the bicycle into the carport.

Inside there was a Phoenix women's bicycle with stacks of honeycomb coal in the deepest part of the carport.

"Coming back?"

Mother Cao Guilan pushed the door out.

Cao Guilan is the same age as Qi Yuanchao, she is of medium stature, and because she has been working in the trade union for a long time, she always has a warm smile on her face, which makes people's hearts warm.

Seeing the bedding and clothes tied to Qi Jie's car, Cao Guilan asked in surprise:

"What's going on? Don't want to live in a dorm? ”

Qi Yuanchao turned on the tap in the yard, bent down and drank a few sips of cold water, and then said:

"I asked Xiaojie to leave his job without pay......"

Before he could explain, Cao Guilan shouted:

"Qi Yuanchao, what's going on with you? Didn't you ask you to take the money to intercede with Director Liu? Why do you leave your job without pay? If Xiaojie goes back in the future, can he still be responsible for the CNC part? ”

Whenever Cao Guilan called her family's name, it meant that she was very angry.

On the first day of rebirth, he let his father take the blame, which made Qi Jie a little unhappy.

He was just about to admit his mistake, but Qi Yuanchao spoke first:

"I was thinking that Xiaojie beat that Meng Gang half to death, even if we spent money, it was inevitable that people would not give him small shoes...... So take advantage of this opportunity to leave your job without pay first, and after a while, let's find someone to trust and transfer Xiaojie to other workshops. ”

He said as he lit a cigarette.

The speed of speech is not fast, but it has a convincing power.

After he finished speaking, Cao Guilan's anger was almost gone.

"It's okay, the rolling workshop is too dangerous, a few days ago, Lao Liu in the second rolling workshop was burned by the high temperature, when we went to visit the hospital, the skin on the entire back was gone, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to look at it."

After Cao Guilan finished speaking, she looked at Qi Jie and said:

"Come into the house, breakfast is still there, if you are hungry, eat some, and I will dismantle your bedding and wash it."

After saying that, she took a mat from the house and spread it under the plane tree, then took off the futon tied to the bicycle, put it on the mat and began to dismantle the futon.

Qi Jie came to the house and looked left and right.

It's exactly like the old house in my memory.

According to the progress of the previous life, the family will buy a color TV next year, and a motorcycle will be bought the year after, but one of Lao Qi's co-workers was drunk and drove into the Wuzhou Reservoir.

On the table is a bowl of white rice porridge, as well as scallion pancakes and a small plate of cucumber in sauce and a salted duck egg.

Qi Jie sat down without hesitation, first picked up the scallion pancake and took a big bite, and then skillfully knocked the salted duck egg on the table and peeled it off.

"Stinky boy, that's my ......"

After Qi Yuanchao entered the house, he saw Qi Jie peeling salted duck eggs, and couldn't help muttering.

He got off the night shift this morning, and before he got home, he heard about Qi Jie's fight, so he hurriedly rode home to get the money, and rushed to the factory to intercede with Liu Hongwei.

Until now, he hasn't eaten a drop of rice.

Qi Jie put the peeled salted duck eggs into the rice porridge, picked it up and handed it to Qi Yuanchao:

"Give and give, how rare it is......"

When Qi Yuanchao raised his hand to take it, he whispered again:

"Thanks, Dad."

What he thanked was for the fact that Qi Yuanchao had just taken the blame in front of Cao Guilan.

Qi Yuanchao patted him on the shoulder:

"There's still porridge in the pot, go and eat a bowl with me."

Qi Jie Mali filled a bowl of porridge, sat down to eat and pondered about persuading Qi Yuanchao to quit smoking.

How do you speak?

Qi Yuanchao is a big smoking gun, and he gets two or three packs a day.

rashly asked him to quit smoking, and it is estimated that the effect is not good.

It is necessary to stimulate his subjective initiative and make him want to quit smoking from the bottom of his heart.

Qi Yuanchao admonished Qi Jie while eating:

"Since I have been on leave without pay, I will think about what to do in the future, and there are people in the factory who have gone to the south without pay before, but they came back to work in a few months, and the workers made fun of them every day...... I don't want you to be laughed at by everyone too. ”

Qi Jie put the pickled cucumber on the scallion pancake, then rolled the cake up and brought it to his mouth and took a bite:

"Don't worry, you will soon find a way to make money, and you will be given a 10,000 yuan account, so that you can brag in the workshop."

In the previous life, Qi Yuan Chao talked about who had become a 10,000-yuan household, and the workshop director took the initiative to hand over cigarettes when he met.

Qi Jie plans to let Lao Qi also enjoy this kind of treatment.

However, Qi Yuanchao is very optimistic about his son:

"Forget about 10,000 yuan households, if you can earn the same salary as in the factory, your mother and I will burn high incense."

Qi Jie smiled and didn't speak.

His salary in the factory was only more than 60 yuan, and for people in 1991, even if he went to the south to dump some rare goods to sell, the money he earned far exceeded this figure.

But there's no point in raising the bar with your father.

He plans to go out for a walk after dinner and see the current business environment in Maizhou City before making plans.

Just as the father and son were eating, a man's voice suddenly sounded outside:

"Eh, Xiaojie,, didn't go to work? Why did I hear that Xiaojie was fighting in the factory? ”

The sound was familiar.

Qi Jie didn't remember who it was for a while.

Instead, Qi Yuanchao put a piece of cucumber in sauce into the rice porridge, picked up the bowl and walked outside.

"Your Uncle Guo is here, you continue to eat, I'll go out first."

Through the door curtain, Qi Jie saw a man in his fifties walking towards the gate, his hair was a little down, and he was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, the shirt was very thin, and the white tank top that was worn inside could be clearly seen. The hem of the shirt is very old-fashioned into loose trousers, and on the belt around the waist, there is a string of bright keys.

- A typical middle-aged person in the 90s.

Seeing his appearance, Qi Jie suddenly remembered who it was.

Guo Hongxing, Qi Yuanchao's chess friend, card friend, and fishing friend, the two are of the same age, and they are both a little literate, so they are more compatible.

According to memory, Guo Hongxing at this time should still be the leader of the Wuzhou Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

However, at the end of the year, he was sent to a remote town to be the director of the supply and marketing cooperatives because of the framing and reporting of his deputy.

At that time, it coincided with the reform of the supply and marketing cooperatives, and he took advantage of the situation to contract the supply and marketing cooperatives in that town, but he made a lot of money.

Thinking of this, Qi Jie suddenly realized a problem:

"The deputy of this year likes to play backstabbing very much, and you have to be on guard against doing business in the future."

Outside, Qi Yuanchao and Guo Hongxing chatted hotly.

Cao Guilan came in and made tea for Guo Hongxing, and asked Qi Jie to come out after eating to say hello to others, after all, people are elders.

Qi Jie was just about to refuse, when he suddenly heard Guo Hongxing sigh with emotion:

"Those gluten havens haven't been sold yet, and if they don't be disposed of at the end of the year, I won't be able to be the director...... I should have listened to you at the time, try less, but now it's good, smash my hands! ”

Gluten?

Isn't that a raw material for gluten?

Qi Jie, who had been in the catering industry for more than ten years in his previous life, suddenly became interested......
