The gongs and drums in the factory are noisy, the colorful flags are fluttering, and the float glass project invested heavily by the state is officially put into operation in the Xiangyang Chemical Plant today.

More than a dozen cars passed by Wang Weidong who was holding the child, and Director Lu, who was sitting in the car, did not notice Wang Weidong on the side of the road at all, and he was now talking to the congratulatory leaders who had come specially from the ministries and commissions.

Back home, Li Yufeng hugged his grandson and said to Wang Weidong: "I heard that Director Lu is going to be transferred, and he will leave after the glass factory is put into operation." ”

"Why isn't my dad home?" Wang Weidong asked.

"Your dad came home a few days ago and handed me the 200 yuan you gave him, and then he played out with Ji Hong and his dad every day, and didn't go home for lunch, and now his home is his free hotel. If a month's salary is handed over to me, I will give your father five yuan to spend, and it is okay if you can't see it all day long. Li Yufeng said.

When you are old, it is different from when you are young, and many times it is more annoying to see old men. Now the grandson in his arms is much cuter than the old man.

Since they had a thousand yuan in their pockets, Wang Haifu and Lao Chen went home and played poker and chess outside during the day.

"How's the radio factory doing?" Wang Weidong asked.

He was still concerned about the radio factory.

"That's it, half-dead, not as good as everyone thought at the beginning, except for sales, everyone else's salary is not high, just work easier." Li Yufeng replied.

In the afternoon, Wang Weidong went to pick up his niece Xiaoya again, and met his sister-in-law Qu Xiaomei at the door of the nursery.

"Weidong, why did you come back, didn't you say that you subcontracted the coal mine? When I went back to my parents' house and met my uncle on the National Day, I told him about you, and he said that he wanted to talk to you about the coal mine. Later, I went back to my parents' house and heard my father say that you went to Tuanjie Village to subcontract the coal mine. Qu Xiaomei said.

She said it with a meritorious tone, meaning that if it weren't for her, Wang Weidong would not have been able to subcontract the coal mine.

"Sister-in-law, how is your uncle's character?" Wang Weidong asked very unceremoniously.

Qu Xiaomei didn't expect Wang Weidong to ask this question, and she didn't know how to answer it for a while.

"Just tell your parents what they think of your uncle's character." Wang Weidong said.

Qu Xiaomei was silent, her parents did not have a high evaluation of this younger brother's character, in fact, the relationship between the two brothers was not good.

Since she was a child, Qu Wenfu has hardly bought anything for her niece, even if it is a three-cent popsicle.

"In fact, after I subcontracted the coal mine, I learned that the coal in the coal mine was almost gone, and my friend and I lost 70,000 yuan, but as a result, not much coal was mined at all! So after two months there, I came back in disgrace! Wang Weidong said.

"Actually, I'm just telling you about this, although my dad doesn't know much about helping in the coal mine, every day I force a smile in front of him because I'm afraid that he will follow me and get angry. Don't tell anyone when you go home, and don't tell your parents when you go back to your parents' house for the New Year, it's not good for the two brothers to turn their faces over this matter. You just have to know it yourself. Wang Weidong instructed.

Qu Xiaomei thinks about her uncle's character, and now she also feels that it was really inappropriate for her to tell her uncle Qu Wenfu about Wang Weidong at the beginning.

"Brother, so you lost a lot of money this time?" Qu Xiaomei asked apologetically.

"What is money? It's good if the family is together and harmonious, and you can still make money when the money is gone. Wang Weidong hugged his niece and said indifferently.

In the evening, when the family was having dinner, Wang Haifu said: "Director Lu is about to leave, and it is a matter of the past two days. In recent years, he has been the fastest in terms of the number of directors sent to Xiangyang Chemical Plant! ”

Several retired old men get together to get information more efficiently than the CIA.

Two days later, at the factory meeting, Director Lu said with emotion: "Everyone already knows that the superior wants to transfer me back to the ministry to assist in the work of military to civilian, working in Xiangyang Chemical Plant for more than a year, emotionally speaking, I am very reluctant in my heart, this more than a year, we all unite together and the workers of the whole plant work hard, complete the task of military to civilian assigned to us by the superiors, set up a radio factory with a scale of more than 1,000 workers, and now the float glass factory has also been put into operation, comrades, it is not easy!" ”

"The train runs fast because of the headband! Although Director Lu has only worked in Xiangyang Chemical Plant for more than a year, he has the most sweat and hard work in so many achievements! Deputy Director Fang said.

Then Deputy Director Fang took the lead and began to applaud, and the conference room burst into warm applause.

Director Lu's humble hands pressed down, and after the applause in the conference room stopped, he said: "The results are everyone's!" It was done by more than 10,000 employees of Xiangyang Chemical Plant with their hands! ”

Due to the excellent work of the Xiangyang Chemical Plant in the conversion of military to civilian use, Director Lu will be transferred back to the ministry to assist the leaders of the ministry in the newly established working group for the conversion of military to civilian use.

The day after Wang Weidong returned home, he was busy buying New Year's goods for his family and his father-in-law's house. Beer, liquor, pork, beef, apples, ducks, pears are constantly moving into the house.

When Wang Weidong took out fifty yuan as his niece Xiaoya's New Year's money, Qu Xiaomei felt very guilty. Wang Weidong lost so much money, not only did he not hold a grudge, but also took out so much money to give his daughter New Year's money.

Chen Jihong's brother did not return home for the Chinese New Year in the army, and on the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Wang Weidong invited Chen Jihong's parents to the house to celebrate the New Year together.

Just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he took his grandmother and Chen Jihong back to Harbin City.

Ou Xiaoyang went to his parents' house in Beijing for the New Year and did not come back, Wang Weidong got a Russian language crash and studied it at home every day.

Black Province is naturally facing the country to the north when doing foreign trade. The province printed a crash course manual in Russian, with daily Russian on the top and pronunciation in Chinese below, which was mainly aimed at people like Wang Weidong who wanted to go abroad for trade exchanges.

Wang Weidong took the small book every day and said: "Take Walich - comrade, Harashao - good, very good!" Don't hug Shao - not good! ……”

In fact, Wang Weidong wants to learn how to praise the girl for being beautiful and cute, you can drink really heroes and the like, but there is no such thing as this serious learning material.

This made Wang Weidong, who was ready to show his skills abroad, a little discouraged, and there was no place for heroes.

Every night, Wang Weidong looked at Ruiyun who broadcast the news on TV, and wondered when Ou Xiaoyang would come back from the capital.

It wasn't until mid-March that Ou Xiaoyang belatedly returned from the capital, and he contacted Wang Weidong the day after he returned.

"In April, you and Mr. Yao went over there, and I contacted the bean cake transportation in a few days, but there was no way, they kept asking us to ship the goods before we could exchange the goods." Ou Xiaoyang said helplessly.
