Chapter 51: A Thousand Miles to Visit the Prison, All Kinds of Affection
Sister Yun feels that the transformation of the factory and the development and production of new products are of great importance to her and the factory and the employees of the whole factory, which is related to the life and death of the electronics factory and the future of each employee. So she decided to go to visit Wang Xiaofeng recently.
From a personal point of view, she has wanted to visit him for a long time, but due to the court fine, the factory is on the verge of crisis, she has a heavy responsibility on her shoulders, and the factory affairs are entangled, and she must not leave, so she has to bury her thoughts in her heart and handle Xiaofeng's entrusted things first, so she has delayed it so far.
Thinking of visiting Xiaofeng, she thought that she should let Huzi go to visit his father with her. When she and Xiaofeng divorced, Huzi was still young, and she was only attached to her mother, and she had almost no impression of her father; It wasn't until he went to school and his classmates scolded him for being a child without a father that he remembered to ask her why he didn't have a father? Who is his dad? Where did it go? She told him: You have a father, his name is Wang Xiaofeng, and he went to Shenzhen to work. He was not told about the divorce. Huzi said the same thing to his classmates when he arrived at school. It wasn't until Xiaofeng was caught smuggling at sea and punished to go home and return to his hometown to start a business that Huzi really knew his father, and the relationship between father and son was restored to normal and became closer and closer. Now that Xiaofeng is in prison, the father and son are separated again, and it will be as long as five years. Huzi has grown up, is in junior high school, and is sensible, she wants him to visit his father often, and she can't let their father-son relationship be separated again.
Thinking of her and Huzi going to visit Xiaofeng, she thought of Mei Ziying, who was sentenced to life imprisonment and was serving in the service. This woman wandered the rivers and lakes, co-opted a group of outlaws, engaged in sea smuggling and smuggling, did illegal business, and became extremely rich. She was a spendthrift and was married and divorced twice. Now he is in prison and sentenced to life imprisonment; The property was gone, and both husbands left her. She deserves it, not sympathy. Worthy of sympathy is her daughter Mei Ying. This is the only thing she misses and relatives right now. Mei Ying is still young and not very sensible, she doesn't know why her mother left her, and she cries all day to find her mother. She took pity on the poor child, took care of her in every possible way, and even took her to the town to study, despite her own busyness. She is a kind woman, who has experienced ups and downs on the road of love, and is the most compassionate; She can't refuse a daughter's longing for her mother, and she must let their mother and daughter meet.
It's summer vacation, and Huzi and Meiying are at home on vacation. Sister Yun called them together and said, "Tomorrow, I will take you to see your father and Mei Ying's mother." Be ready, think what you are going to say, and when you meet, tell them. She thought for a moment and then said, "Bring your exam results for this semester, and when the time comes, show them to your parents so that they can understand your studies." When the brother and sister heard that they were going to see their parents, they were very happy and excited, and immediately went their separate ways to prepare.
Sister Yun came to the factory, found Zhao Ming, and explained to him that she wanted to visit Wang Xiaofeng in order to discuss the transformation and upgrading of the electronics factory and the development and development of new products; Entrust the affairs of the factory to Zhao Ming. Zhao Ming said, you go as soon as possible, such a major matter involves many issues such as technology, talents, and funds, and we have not done it, and we can't make up our minds, so it must be finalized by Xiaofeng himself; Moreover, it was brought up by him. Sister Yun said I think so too.
Early the next morning, Sister Yun, Huzi, and Mei Ying each dressed up, brought all the things they wanted to bring, hurried to the bus station, and then took the car to the farm where Wang Xiaofeng served. They first came to the farm department, found the farm leader, and explained their intentions. The leaders of the farm checked today's labor schedule and said that Wang Xiaofeng and his team members went to Nanhu to hoe the field, and assigned a special person to lead them there.
They came to Nanhu together and saw a group of men dressed in the uniform labor clothes of the farm hoeing corn. The leader told them to stop under a large tree near the cornfield, and he walked over to contact the correctional officer who was leading the team. After a while, I heard the correctional staff shouting at the working crowd in the field: "Wang Xiaofeng, get out of the team!" Someone from your house has come to visit you. You follow him over there. ”
"Here!" Wang Xiaofeng agreed, walked to the edge of the field, put down the hoe, and went to the big tree accompanied by the correctional staff. The correctional officer said, "Let's talk, hurry up." Then he stepped aside to keep watch.
Wang Xiaofeng looked at his wife and two children carefully, extremely excited and full of emotion. He looked at Sister Yun and said, "The factory is so busy, and the distance is so far, how do you have time to come?" Sister Yun handed him the food and clothes she brought, and said, "It's summer vacation, I'll bring the two children to see you, and let you see them and check their academic performance." In addition, there are important things in the factory that need to be agreed with you. As he spoke, he pushed Huzi and Mei Ying to Xiao Feng.
Wang Xiaofeng hugged the two children in his arms and kissed their faces in turn, unconsciously shedding tears. He quickly wiped away his tears and asked, "Are you studying well?" In the final exam, how many points did you score for each course? The two children took out the report report they had brought from their pockets and handed it to their father. Xiao Feng took it, looked at it seriously and said, "It's not bad." But it still needs to be improved. Your goal is to go to university in the future, but you need real skills, excellent grades, and it is difficult to achieve without hard work. He remembered his university entrance examination again, and said: "When I was a child, I also wanted to take the university entrance examination, but because my family was too difficult and unable to support it, I finally failed to take the examination." Now that you're well, we have an electronics factory at home, which is enough to support you to go to college. However, this is only one aspect, you must also have good enough grades to guarantee the entrance examination. If you don't get good grades, you can't pass the exam, no matter how much money you have, you won't be able to go to college, and you won't be able to make a profit in the future. ”
Sister Yun looked at the time, pulled the two children from Xiaofeng's arms, and said to them, "You promise your father, what will you do in the future?" Huzi looked at his mother and said to his father, "I must listen to my father, study hard, strive for good grades, and be admitted to university in the future." Mei Ying also followed Huzi and said, "I will also study hard and take the university entrance examination in the future." ”
Wang Xiaofeng hugged the two children in his arms again and said, "You are all good children, Dad believes in you." Then he said to Huzi: "My sister is young, your mother is too busy with work, you have to take care of your sister more." "I'll take care of my sister." Huzi immediately agreed.
Sister Yun said to the two children: "Remember Dad's words, and remember your own words, you must do what you say, and in the future, I will check." The two children agreed: "We promise to do what we say." "Well, I'll trust you for now. You go play for a while, I have something important to discuss with your father. After Sister Yun finished speaking, she pulled Xiao Feng aside.
Xiao Feng looked at his wife and asked, "What's the big deal?" You and Zhao Ming just study and decide, and you have to come to discuss with me. Sister Yun said: "It is the transformation and upgrading of the electronics factory and the development and development of new products that you proposed." There are too many issues involved in this matter, and Zhao Ming and I have studied it several times, but we always can't make up our minds and make a decision. ”
Wang Xiaofeng couldn't think of a good way for a while. He recalled the process of upgrading and upgrading the electronics factory, saying: "I only thought about the court's fine of 5 million, and I was worried that the electronics factory would go bankrupt and close down after paying the fine, so I couldn't sleep all night; Later, when I heard that you had solved the financial problem by raising funds and buying shares, I was relieved. The issue of factory transformation and upgrading and research and development of new products was inspired by a fellow inmate. He was also engaged in the assembly and processing of small electronic products at home, and he was once very prosperous. Later, with the improvement of people's living standards, small electronic products were unsalable, a large number of products were backlogged, and the funds could not be withdrawn, so they had to go bankrupt. From this, I remembered that our factory belongs to the same type as theirs and faces the same fate, so I ask you and Zhao Ming this question. What do you guys think? ”
Sister Yun said: "Zhao Ming and I also think that this is a very important key issue, which is related to the life and death of the electronics factory, and must be solved as soon as possible." However, it is tricky to solve and involves many problems. The most important are three major problems: technology, talent, and funding. The technology mastered by Zhao Ming can only be assembled and processed, which is not helpful for the development of new products; Therefore, it is necessary to spend a lot of money to introduce talents, technologies and raw materials, and it takes a long time from R&D to production, which must have sufficient financial support. ”
Xiaofeng said: "Now that the production and sales of the electronics factory are booming, is there no accumulation of funds in the factory?" Sister Yun said: "The funds have accumulated some, but the shareholders are watching with their eyes, just waiting for the dividend at the end of the year, you want to engage in new product research and development, the cost is large, the cycle is long, and the effect is slow, they will not agree." ”
"You must learn to do ideological work for workers, analyze the current situation in the electronics market for them, and explain clearly the relationship between immediate and long-term interests."
"The market situation, we analyzed to them, the truth, we also tried to talk about it, but most of the workers are difficult to accept, they only focus on the immediate interests, rarely take into account the long-term interests, and even suspect that we use the factory transformation and upgrading, the development of new products, the transfer of funds, and other plans. Zhao Ming and I are afraid that if this continues, the workers' minds will be confused, and normal production will be affected. ”
"This issue must also be considered. The factory is engaged in transformation and upgrading, and the research and development of new products cannot affect the normal production; If production cannot be carried out, there will be no profits, everything will be empty talk, and the workers will have more opinions. ”
At this time, the correctional officer came to remind them that the conversation was too long and asked them to end it as soon as possible.
Wang Xiaofeng agreed, and said to Sister Yun: "Since the workers do not understand the transformation and upgrading for a while, and there is resistance, it is not good to raise funds and buy shares, so as not to arouse greater suspicion and affect the production mood of the workers." You can go to the township to find Secretary Liu and Township Mayor Niu to explain the necessity and urgency of the factory to develop new products, ask them to help do the work, and find the bank to apply for a part of the loan; Or go to the county to find Yingzi and his wife to think of another way. ”
"Okay. I'll go back and discuss it with Zhao Ming. In short, the transformation and upgrading of electronic factories must be carried out, and we will find ways to solve the difficulties ourselves. You can rest assured. ”
Saying goodbye to Wang Xiaofeng, Sister Yun thought about taking Mei Ying to another place to visit her mother Mei Ziying, so she hurried to the bus station with Huzi and Mei Ying. However, when they went to the ticket office, they found that there was no car to Mei Ziying's place of work today, so they had to buy tickets for the next morning, and then found a hostel near the station to stay.
Mei Ying cried when she saw that she couldn't see her mother today. Sister Yun helped her wipe away her tears and said, "Don't cry, I can see your mother tomorrow morning." Mei Ying said, "Why isn't Mom with Dad?" Huzi said, "Your mother is a woman, and my father is a man, how can they be together?" Mei Ying cried again and said, "Who said Mom and Dad can't be together? Aren't our classmates' parents all together? Sister Yun was afraid that Huzi would break Mei Ying's heart by saying their divorce, so she had to explain: "They have broken the law and are now in labor reform, everything must be arranged by the state, and where the arrangement is, they will work there." You can't follow your own heart. Mei Ying didn't ask after hearing this.
Huzi asked her mother, "When will my father come home?" Sister Yun said, "Five years." As long as he works hard, he will be able to go home after completing his sentence. Mei Ying also asked, "When will my mother come home?" Sister Yun thought for a while and said, "I can't remember the specific time." I think that as long as she works hard, she will go home when the time comes. ”
The next morning, Sister Yun took Mei Ying and Huzi to visit Mei Ziying at the place where she worked. It was an embroidery factory, and all the women were working in it. She gave Mei Ziying the food she brought from home and said, "It's summer vacation, I took my two children to visit Xiaofeng and you." You okay? Miss Mei thanked her repeatedly. She put the food aside, hurriedly hugged Mei Ying in her arms, couldn't help but shed tears, and said, "My good daughter, my mother wants you to death!" He sobbed as he spoke. Mei Ying hugged her mother tightly and cried loudly.
Sister Yun hugged Mei Ying and said, "Quickly wipe away your tears, show your report to your mother, and make her happy." Mei Yingfang stopped crying, took out the report card from her pocket and handed it to her mother. Mei Ziying took it and praised it and said, "The results are very good!" It's all your aunt's credit, thank you Auntie. Sister Yun also called Huzi: "Show your report card to Auntie." Mei Ziying looked at the same praise and said: "Very good! There will be a lot of success in the future. ”。
Miss Mei said to Sister Yun: "I really envy you, a rural woman, not only run the factory well, but also educate her children so well, it's really not easy!" ”
Sister Yun said: "I was also forced to be helpless and resisted. Xiaofeng went in and left behind a factory that was not built, what if I didn't continue to work? Five years later, Xiaofeng came out, how can I explain to him? You and he have both come in, leaving behind two children, and if I don't raise and educate them well, how will I explain to you in the future? I have a low culture, I have no experience in running a factory, and I am also crossing the river by feeling the stones, working hard, just to fight for a breath. ”
Miss Mei exclaimed, "What a great person! Good people will be rewarded! ”
Sister Yun said: "Mei Ying is your daughter, I will train her to become a talent, and when you come out in the future, she will have the ability to provide for you in her old age." ”
Miss Mei said, "I will wait for this day to borrow your auspicious words!" ”
Mei Ying listened to her mother and aunt's words, and asked, "Mom, aunt said that Dad can go home after five years of labor, when will you go home?" ”
Miss Mei's face changed suddenly. How to answer? To tell the truth, she was sentenced to life imprisonment and couldn't go out for the rest of her life, didn't this make her daughter sad and desperate? Since her daughter has brought it up, it can't be done if she doesn't answer, not to mention that Mei Ying is looking at her with blank eyes, waiting for her to answer. Her mind was racing and she finally came up with a solution. She said: "You tell me to do the math: you are now in the third grade of elementary school, and when you graduate from high school and enter college, I will be able to go out." When the time comes, you will be admitted to the university, and I will send you to the university to register. ”
Mei Ying may have missed the reunion of mother and daughter too much, she didn't see Mei Ziying's scheming, and naively thought that she finally had the exact time for her mother to come home from prison, and said excitedly: "Mom, I must study hard and be admitted to university, waiting for you to send me to university to register." ”
