Two and a half p.m., in the conference room.

Seeing that the personnel were almost there, Liu Changhe first said a few brief opening remarks, and then pointed to Zheng Zhendong in the corner and said:

"Xiao Zheng, tell the leaders about the Su family's request, let everyone listen to it first!"

"Good leaders, leaders, the conditions proposed by the Su family are as follows." Zheng Zhendong opened the notebook in his hand and read aloud: "First ,...... The above are the conditions proposed by the Su family, I am done, leaders! ”

Zheng Zhendong read out the conditions proposed by the Su family one by one, and then closed the notebook, and after getting Liu Changhe's approval, he sat down again.

"Tell me what you think!" Liu Changhe looked around, and then asked everyone.

"This condition is too outrageous, absolutely not, I don't agree!"

"It's just, absolutely not, what are they trying to do? Isn't this Chiguoguo's blackmail? ”

"I think this family is really crazy, what a good thing to think about, it's a joke......"

……

The crowd sitting in the conference room was excited, and it was impossible to agree to the conditions proposed by the Su family.

"Okay, okay, don't make any noise, this is not a vegetable market, what do you want to do?" Liu Changhe patted the table, and after everyone quieted down, he pointed to Lin Shijie and said, "Lao Lin, what do you think, tell everyone!" ”

For this deputy commander Lin Shijie, Zheng Zhendong's image is not good, not only because of his attitude at noon, but also because of his inaction on weekdays.

Other colleagues are busy working every day, but what about this one? Every day after going to work, I will take a newspaper and sit behind the desk to read, and the things at work can be delayed, but there is really no way, so I pretend to be busy.

Seeing that he was about to speak, he couldn't help but pout.

Sure enough, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was full of nonsense, and he slipped a lot of official clichés, but after talking for a long time, it was useless at all.

After he finished speaking, everyone still didn't know what he was talking about, and the leaders attending the meeting were confused.

After watching Lin Shijie sit down, Liu Changhe said a few more words and asked everyone if they had any opinions.

To tell the truth, at the moment, everyone doesn't want to care about this matter at all, for fear that if one of them is not good, they will be burned again.

It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and this matter is not only not beneficial, but also so troublesome, everyone is afraid that it will fall on their heads when the time comes, so they have no words.

In an instant, there was silence in the conference room, and the leaders looked at me, I looked at you, and no one refused to say a word.

Liu Changhe looked around, and after seeing that everyone had no signs of rising, he pointed to a man in his early thirties and asked, "Director Kong, what opinions do you have in the factory, please tell everyone!" ”

Director Kong saw that he couldn't hide, and he wailed in his heart, feeling that he was so unlucky, but he also knew that he couldn't escape from it.

I had to stand up and said cautiously: "Commander Liu, the leaders of the factory said, let me listen to your arrangement, you can do whatever you say!" ”

It's an old fritter again, hob meat, who the fuck are they? These guys in the agency are really bastards.

If there is a benefit, go up, and hide when you encounter difficulties, you should really clean up these dog things.

Zheng Zhendong was angry, looking at the people who were pushing three and four, and scolded his mother in his heart, that is, he didn't have a gun in his hand, otherwise he would not be able to surprise these people.

"Alright, sit down too!" Director Liu Changhe waved his hand helplessly, and then asked, "Who has anything to say?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, then shook their heads in unison, and said they had nothing to say.

"Commander-in-Chief Liu, you are not only the commander-in-chief of the project, but also the secretary of the temporary file branch, you should make up your mind about this matter!"

Lin Shijie looked at Liu Changhe, and after saying this in a weird way, he then encouraged everyone: "Big guy, is what I said reasonable?" ”

Everyone did not agree with his words, but chose to remain silent, neither supporting nor opposing.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Liu Changhe patted the table, glared and said, "Okay, since everyone refuses to speak, then I'll talk about it first!" ”

…………

Half past four in the afternoon.

Zheng Zhendong drove a jeep with a reluctant Wu Jinjin into the dormitory in the family area of the steel mill in District 1, located in Shijing Mountain.

"Brother Wu, Deputy Commander Lin and Commander Liu, are they not dealing with each other?" Zheng Zhendong looked at the absent-minded Wu Jinjin and asked the doubts in his heart.

"You can also see that you don't deal with it very much!" Wu Jinjin nodded, and then explained: "The two of them have competed for the chief engineer before, but unfortunately Lao Lin's skills are not good, and there is no Lao Liu's backstage hard, so they have never competed for Lao Liu." ”

"I'll just say, it's still like this!" Zheng Zhendong nodded knowingly, and then said angrily: "Since the technology is not good, you have to be willing to gamble and lose, and work hard. ”

Seeing Zheng Zhendong say this, Wu Jinjin couldn't help but be anxious, and said with an ugly face: "My little ancestor, you speak carefully, if he knows this, then he will have to give us little shoes to wear every day!" ”

"Well, Brother Wu, don't worry, I'll tell you this, I definitely won't tell the others!" Dealing with it casually, Zheng Zhendong turned his head to look at Wu Jinjin, who looked worried, and couldn't help but say again: "You look at the scared you, as for it?" ”

Wu Jin said helplessly: "I can't compare with you, I have the old and the young, and the whole family is pointing to me to live, no one dares to offend!" ”

It is not difficult to hear from Wu Jinjin's words that he must have suffered losses in this regard.

Because the relationship was not very familiar, Zheng Zhendong was not easy to ask in detail, so he had to drive with his head bored.

"Brother Wu, is this not?" After driving into an alley, Zheng Zhendong slowed down his car and turned his head to look at the low bungalow to ask Wu for progress.

Wu Jinjin's expression was a little depressed, and after hearing the question, he raised his head and looked out of the car, and then replied in an uncertain tone: "It should be here, but I don't know the specific location, why don't we go down and ask?" ”

Faced with this situation, Zheng Zhendong didn't have much to say, so he could only park the jeep on the side of the road and walk down.

"Kid, come here." Zheng Zhendong beckoned to the children who were running wildly behind the car, and when they came over, he squatted down and asked with a smile on his face: "Do you know how Su Dajiang goes?" ”

Among them, there was a little boy of eight or nine years old, who hurriedly raised his hand and shouted: "Uncle, I know, I know, I will lead you over!" ”

Looking at the child who volunteered, Zheng Zhendong couldn't help but be a little happy, stepped forward and took his hand and asked, "Little friend, thank you, by the way, what's your name, how old are you this year?" ”

"Uncle, my name is Yuan Heping, and I am 8 years old this year!" While Yuan Heping led Zheng Zhendong and Wu Jinjin forward, he introduced his own situation.

Under the leadership of Yuan Heping, the three of them walked in the alley for a long time and came to a courtyard door.

Entering through the door, several women in the courtyard were chatting about the family's short and trivial gossip at this time.

When these people saw someone entering the hospital, they stopped chatting and looked directly at Zheng Zhendong and Wu Jinjin, two strangers.

In the face of many curious and scrutinizing eyes, Zheng Zhendong seemed quite calm, walked to the crowd unhurriedly, and asked with a smile: "A few eldest sisters, we are from the steel factory, please inquire, how is the Su family going?" ”

Several women in the courtyard, after listening to Zheng Zhendong's introduction, first froze slightly, and then became excited again, and said even more gossipily:

"You're here to deal with the Su family's affairs?"

"Oh, you guys are here, hurry up and go to their house to have a look, the Su family is about to fight!"

"yes, yes, why are you here? Hurry up, hurry up, or Cuiyun's mother and daughter will really be on the streets! ”

……

Although I don't know what I mean, it is not difficult to tell from the expressions of these people that things do not seem to be so simple.

Zheng Zhendong smiled at everyone, and then continued to walk in under everyone's guidance.

Not long after walking, I saw from afar that there was a white fan hanging on the left wall at the door of a family, and on the curtain in the center of the door, there was a black pen with the word "Dian", and I didn't need everyone to introduce it to know that this was the Su family.

However, the door of the Su family house was not opened, but closed tightly, this kind of style and people have a feeling, as if they are the owner inside, and everyone is not welcome to come to mourn.

Zheng Zhendong, who didn't know what was going on, walked forward with Wu Jinjin again, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard shouting inside.

"You don't promise? Why don't you say yes? Let me tell you Zhao Cuiyun, if you don't agree today, I won't let you have a good time......"

I was about to knock on the door, but before I could raise my hand, I heard a woman's shouting from inside the door.

The voice was a little angry, obviously things didn't go her way, so she was a little annoyed.

After the woman chattered for a long time, she heard another woman say tremblingly: "Sister-in-law, my family's body is not cold, and you want to beat him at the idea of the workplace, aren't you afraid that the neighbors will laugh at you?" ”

A group of women who came to see the excitement saw that Zheng Zhendong was hesitant, and originally planned to come forward to call the door for him.

But when he saw Zheng Zhendong waving his hand, although he didn't understand what he meant, he nodded understandingly.

There was another commotion in the room, and after a few minutes, perhaps tired of listening, an old voice came again.

I only heard her trembling voice, and said: "Let's talk about this matter later, the most important thing now is to see how the factory handles it, if people don't agree to our conditions, what's the use of us fighting around!" ”

A few people in the room may have been tired of arguing, or the old lady may have been more dignified, and after hearing her words, they really stopped arguing.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

After another minute or so, seeing that there was no more quarrel in the house, Zheng Zhendong raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Who?" Su Daqiang in the room asked angrily.

Zheng Zhendong said calmly: "Brother Su, I'm Xiao Zheng, we met at noon, to deal with Comrade Su Dajiang's posthumous affairs, please open the door!" ”

Hearing this, the people in the room first muttered a few words, and then the door opened, and Su Daqiang came out of it.

Looking at Zheng Zhendong and Wu Jinjin in front of him, Su Daqiang raised his hand to make an inviting gesture, and said with a humble face: "It's Comrade Zheng, you guys are here, please come to the house!" ”

After saying to Zheng Zhendong and them, he turned his face to look at the lively neighbors in the courtyard, and drove away with an impatient face: "What are you looking at?" What's there to see, go and go, go and ...... at the same time"

Zheng Zhendong, who walked into the house, couldn't help but be a little stunned, because this bungalow only has one room, not to mention, it is very small, and the area is about a dozen square meters.

Facing the door, there was a dilapidated Eight Immortals table, and on each side of the table was a Taishi chair with missing arms and legs.

There is a wooden bed in the corner, and a mosquito net hangs on top of the bed, with more than a dozen patches of different shapes.

Seeing Zheng Zhendong and the others walk into the house, everyone in the room stood up and looked at them with a flattering smile.

"Auntie, sit down!" Zheng Zhendong waved his hand, first said to the old lady of the Su family, and then said to everyone: "Everyone hurry up and sit down!" ”

"Leader Zheng, you sit!"

……

After the polite words, everyone sat down one after another.

"Leader Zheng, how's it going? Did the leader agree to the conditions we proposed? ”

With Su Daqiang's questioning, the other people in the room also turned their heads to look at Zheng Zhendong, and their faces showed expectant looks.

Looking at everyone's eyes, Zheng Zhendong looked embarrassed, knowing that things were not easy to do, but there was really no way.

I had to clear my throat and speak: "Brother Su, your family has made too many requests, and it is impossible for the leaders to agree to all of them, so you must know in your hearts!" ”

"Didn't say yes?"

Suddenly, the room was stunned.

Everyone's faces showed a look of disappointment, especially Su Daqiang and his daughter-in-law, the disappointment on their faces was the most serious.

They had all planned it before, and through Su Dajiang's matter, the family would have to make a good profit.

Not only do you have to replace yourself in the factory to work, but you also have to ask for more pensions, so that you can keep them for your son to marry and marry his daughter-in-law.

The sister-in-law of the Su family stopped doing it at that time, and stood up directly to make trouble.

Looking at her posture, let people who don't know the situation see it, and think it's her man who died!

However, as soon as she opened her mouth and didn't speak, she was yelled back by Su Daqiang.

Su Daqiang finished yelling at his daughter-in-law, then looked at Zheng Zhendong and the others, and said apologetically: "Leader Zheng, Leader Wu, don't mind, the country mother-in-law has no knowledge, let you see the joke!" ”

Zheng Zhendong shook his head: "Brother Su, you are polite, we also understand your feelings, as for the attitude of the sister-in-law, we didn't take it to heart, and you don't have to apologize!" ”

Hearing this, Su Daqiang, who was unwilling, continued to ask: "Leader Zheng, what conditions have the leaders agreed to?" Please tell me about it! ”

"A place for an apprentice, a pension of 500 yuan, plus reimbursement of medical expenses and funeral expenses!" Zheng Zhendong directly told the Su family about the results of the leaders' meeting and discussion.

The whole family, except for the woman who was holding the child in the corner and crying silently, after hearing this, their faces showed that they wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh.

After talking about the results, Zheng Zhendong remembered the words he had just heard at the door, and saw the woman crying in the corner, and he understood what was going on, and he was a little angry in his heart, isn't this the legendary eater?

Although they are all a family, these people obviously don't regard the mother and daughter in the corner as a family.

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhendong couldn't help but be a little angry, so he didn't wait for them to speak, and specially added: "By the way, the top post quota can only be given to immediate family members!" ”

A few people who were secretly happy, but now they were dumbfounded, and after looking at each other with a peep, everyone look at me, I look at you, and finally look at Su Daqiang, everyone's meaning is obvious, that is, let him open his mouth and ask about the situation again.

In the end, under everyone's gaze, Su Daqiang asked Zheng Zhendong stubbornly: "Leader Zheng, what are the immediate family members?" What do you mean by that? We and the second child are brothers of the same mother, what you said is unreasonable! ”

On January 26, 1953, the Ministry of Labor of the Government Council promulgated the "Draft Amendment to the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Labor Insurance Regulations".

Article 24 of Chapter 6 of the Draft, "Provisions on Death Benefits", stipulates that: "When a worker or employee dies or is completely out of labor due to work-related disability, and his immediate family members have the ability to work and the enterprise needs someone to work, the administrative or management shall hire them as soon as possible."

So the situation of your family is that you can only let Su Dajiang's widow go to work in the factory, do you understand? ”

Zheng Zhendong's national policy is like this, and I can't help it, so I directly scolded the Su family out of temper.

"The matter of the top shift, can it really not be discussed anymore? Zheng Leader! Su Daqiang asked unwillingly.

Looking at the woman in the corner, from the helpless imitation just now, to the present look, Zheng Zhendong, who has already figured out what is going on, how can he help the abuse, and hurriedly continued to scare:

"Brother Su, can you really joke, is the national policy something we can bargain with? Hurry up and be honest, or you will regret it yourself! ”

At this time, the sister-in-law of the Su family couldn't sit still anymore, so she walked quickly to the table, picked up the teapot, poured water for Zheng Zhendong and them, and said with a shy face: "Leader Zheng, can you give more pension?" You have also seen that our family is really difficult, please have mercy on us! ”

Looking at this face, Zheng Zhendong couldn't help but feel a little disgusted, knowing that even if there was more money, it was estimated that it would not fall into the hands of the owner.

So Zheng Zhendong didn't think about it, and directly refused: "Sister-in-law Su, the two of us are also running errands for the leader, so don't embarrass us."

Besides, 500 yuan is really a lot, if you don't believe it, you can go out and inquire about the state-stipulated work-related injury pension, how much! ”

After grinding for a long time, seeing that Zheng Zhendong and the others still refused to let go, although the family was still unwilling, they also knew that their arms could not twist their thighs, so they could only grit their teeth and nod and agree to this condition.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Zheng Zhendong hurriedly said a few polite words to the family members, and then told them to take Su Dajiang's body back from the hospital first, so that they could be buried as soon as possible, and then don't forget to go to the factory to go through the procedures.

After explaining everything, Zheng Zhendong made his resignation,

On the way back, Zheng Zhendong thought of the humanity of this family, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

How sad it is for my brother's bones to make up his mind before his bones are cold!
