Along the way, Yiyi was still muttering about the reluctance to be windy, and when she arrived at the family courtyard of the meat factory, Zhou Yunmeng mentioned that it was almost there, and she was not sad immediately, and she was happy to see her brother Xiaoyuan soon.

When he arrived at Sun's house, Zhou Yunmeng asked Yiyi to get out of the car first and knock on the door.

Yiyi's little hand knocked on the door rhythmically three times and shouted, "Are Aunt Xiaoqing and Brother Xiaoyuan at home?" I'm Yiyi, and my mother and I came to see you. ”

Soon there was a child's response, followed by Rao Xiaoqing's response, and the hurried steps.

Zhou Yunmeng breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the days are not wrong, Rao Xiaoqing is resting today.

As soon as the door opened, Xiao Yuan shouted Aunt Yunmeng, and after Aunt Yunmeng was okay, he came to Yiyi's side and shouted "Sister Yiyi".

Xiaoyuan is one and a half years younger than Yiyi, and the three-and-a-half-year-old child still lacks something to play, which is far less fun than his age. But Yiyi also likes to play with him, because it is rare to have a friend younger than her, calling her Sister Yiyi.

The two little guys played together, and Rao Xiaoqing was also happy to see Zhou Yunmeng.

She took Yun Meng's hand and smiled, "Yun Meng, why did you come back?" Come in and sit. ”

Also call the child into the house to play.

Zhou Yunmeng pushed the bicycle to the yard and parked it, while answering her, "I came back a few days ago, rested at home for a few days, and asked my second uncle if I knew the time of your rest, and counted the time I came over today." ”

She smiled, "It's good you're here." ”

Rao Xiaoqing was also happy: "Yes, it's just that I'm resting, otherwise I'll run away in vain." ”

Zhou Yunmeng smiled: "Bai can't run down, I can go to the meat factory and wait for you to get off work, but Yiyi can't see Xiaoyuan's younger brother." ”

Rao Xiaoqing: "You are waiting for me to get off work, I will definitely invite you to eat at home, Yiyi can still see Xiaoyuan's younger brother." ”

Zhou Yunmeng smiled and should be.

After entering the hall and sitting down, she first took out the contents of the package and gave them to Rao Xiaoqing, and called Yiyi to let her share them with her younger brother.

Rao Xiaoqing: "Yunmeng, what are you doing with this money, bring something over every time you come back, and bring it back later." ”

Zhou Yunmeng: "This mung bean cake and tea are for uncles and aunts, you can help me say hello to them." The candy is for Xiaoyuan, it's my aunt's heart, you can't refuse. ”

"These two plates of chocolates were bought with the help of my classmates not long ago, and Pechoin is for you to wipe your face, you have bought them, you can take them and eat them."

Rao Xiaoqing was amused by her: "Yun Meng, I can't accept it." Okay, then I'll get you some canned meat later, and you'll have to take it. ”

Zhou Yunmeng smiled and responded.

Yiyi brought Xiaoyuan's younger brother over and asked them if they could eat jumping candy, Rao Xiaoqing and Zhou Yunmeng glanced at each other and agreed.

The snacks bought for Xiaoyuan, Yiyi also picked the ones he liked to eat, and Zhou Yunmeng took care of them.

He is only three and a half years old, like bubble gum and kiwi sparkling water are not suitable for him, Yiyi didn't pick it, and she would stop it if she picked it.

The two children happily went to eat jumping candy, chatted together, and played a game of clapping.

This Zhou Yunmeng and Rao Xiaoqing chatted for the day, greeting each other's recent situation, and the first thing they mentioned was always how they were in their mood, how their children were, how their families were, and finally how they worked.

Rao Xiaoqing: "Yunmeng, you know, haven't there been educated youths returning to the city one after another in the past few years, and there are more people in the county all of a sudden." The house is so big, I have been in the countryside for so many years, and I have added a daughter-in-law and a child to my family, and suddenly I come back to myself, where is there a place to live, let alone find a job to make money. ”

"The work in the city is all a turnip and a pit, so they set up a farmer's market, and some vendors directly started business, and I don't know where to get the mountain goods and clothes that are selling, and the top can't stop them. The main thing is that there is no way, there can't be so many people who don't have a way to make a living. ”

"Not to mention that the business is very good, the fares are cheap, and there are goods in Shanghai and Shencheng and Yangcheng in the south, and my mother-in-law and I have been to buy them a few times."

The in-law's family is such a son, her mother's family and her brother both had jobs back then, and there was no need to go to the countryside, Rao Xiaoqing did not suffer the negative impact of the educated youth returning to the city.

When she talked about these businessmen, she also admired their courage and business acumen, and she admired them very much.

But, "Who would have thought that there would be more private slaughterhouses in the suburbs near us, and I don't know where to collect the pigs, chickens and ducks, which sell quite well." No tickets, the price is the same, everyone is willing to go over there to buy, the pigs, chickens and ducks slaughtered in our factory can only be processed into canned food when they can't be sold. ”

"Everyone has meat to eat, where do you still want to eat canned meat, canned meat is expensive and you have to ask for tickets, you couldn't buy it before, but now you don't want to buy it. The efficiency of our factory has declined, and the leaders of the factory have often held meetings recently, and they are also worried. ”

"I heard that the efficiency of other factories has declined even more, such as textile factories and grain and oil factories, which have the greatest impact."

"There are also state-run restaurants, aren't there many people pushing a cart to buy food, don't want the ticket price to be cheap and cheap, and the variety of people is also enthusiastic, who wants to go to the state-run hotel to spend tickets to buy food, lack of this and that, and have to face the waiter's stinky face."

Speaking of the changes in these counties and the troubles at work, Rao Xiaoqing couldn't help but sigh.

These changes have undoubtedly made it convenient for them, and in private, the family also sighed that such a day is good.

But when the meat factory also became less profitable, they realized in a trance that the factory would only get worse and worse if they went on like this, and if they couldn't make money, they would pay wages and benefits, such as this year's New Year's welfare.

Zhou Yunmeng also sighed when he heard it, this seems to be a historical inevitability. Next, the market economy will become more and more liberalized, and all factories will usher in shocks, either closing down and laying off workers, or reforming and creating new opportunities.

But these are all developed in accordance with the current situation.

Zhou Yunmeng only said: "It is indeed a big change, you see how lively the county will be." Since the top can't control it, maybe this situation will continue to spread......"

Rao Xiaoqing understood what she meant: "Yes, I even thought that if there was really no way in the factory, the efficiency would keep declining, and in the end it might go out of business, and we would all have no work." ”

Zhou Yunmeng praised Rao Xiaoqing for his intelligent intuition.

Less than three years have passed since the reform and opening up, and even if the impact of the changes in the county town and the welfare of workers in various factories have deteriorated, they still have the idea that the iron job bowl will never be lost.

She pondered and said: "Xiaoqing, I actually read the article in Shanghai magazine before, and I saw that some factories went to Yangcheng Shencheng to import foreign machines, and the production efficiency has improved a lot. The production efficiency has improved, the price has come down, and compared with those outside, it is low, and everyone is naturally willing to come to the factory to buy. ”

And the article said that the chemical factory also received some cooperation orders, as long as there are orders to do, the machines in the factory are still moving, and everyone will still have food. I feel that our Nancheng side will develop in this direction in the future. ”

"You can pay attention to the information in the newspapers and on the radio, and learn more."

Rao Xiaoqing was promoted to the head of the workshop the year before last, and the workshop she led has always had high production efficiency, good management, and the director of the production line and the leaders of the factory are also familiar with it, and it is possible to do something.

As a good friend, Zhou Yunmeng believes that Rao Xiaoqing has this ability, whether it is to reform with the factory, or to start a personal business after being laid off.

It's good for her to remind you.

Rao Xiaoqing's eyes flashed: "Really? Some factories in Shanghai have begun to find a way to solve this dilemma, and it sounds like the effect is not bad, so I will look back and think about it. ”

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the way, reminding herself to read more newspapers and listen to the radio in the future, pay attention to the changes in the big city, and see if she could learn some experience.

"Yunmeng, thank you, listening to you say this, I am a lot more down-to-earth, and I have ideas."

Zhou Yunmeng let her hold her hand: "We are good friends, what I just said will help you." ”

Rao Xiaoqing nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, it's a big help." ”

She said, "You see I've been talking about things in the factory for so long, and I haven't asked you how your writing is going, how are you doing?" ”

Zhou Yunmeng nodded: "Okay, there have been more magazines opened in the past two years, and I have a lot more options. ”

Rao Xiaoqing was happy to hear it: "That's good, it's good that you have a smooth writing aspect." ”

Zhou Yunmeng: "Yes, after the reform and opening up, there are more content topics that can be written, and you can see the great changes in rural counties and the new things that have emerged, all of which are materials that can be written." ”

The two couldn't stop talking.

Rao Xiaoqing also wanted to leave her and Yiyi to eat at home.

Zhou Yunmeng: "I won't eat here today, I didn't explain to her grandmother when I went out, I guess I have already cooked our meal, thank you, Xiaoqing." ”

Rao Xiaoqing: "It's okay, then wait for me to rest next time, if you haven't left yet, let's make an appointment to go shopping together?" ”

Although she knew that this probability was very small, her next rest would be a month later, and Yun Meng rarely lived in her hometown for a month.

Zhou Yunmeng responded with a smile: "Okay, then if I haven't left next month, I'll come to you on the day you rest." If they didn't come to you, they would have already returned to the army. ”

Rao Xiaoqing responded, stood up and said that he was going to get her canned meat.

Zhou Yunmeng sat in the hall and played with Yiyi and Xiaoyuan, saying that he was ready to leave.

Yiyi and Xiaoyuan's younger brother were having a good time, and they were very reluctant to leave, but when they saw that their mother knocked on their watch, she stopped talking when she saw the time, and she was going home for dinner at this point.

She had no choice but to say goodbye to her younger brother.

Xiaoyuan was a year and a half younger than Dafeng, and he cried directly.

Rao Xiaoqing came out with canned meat: "What are you crying about?" Xiaoyuan, don't cry, when you look back, Sister Yiyi feels uncomfortable when she sees you crying, what should I do if I cry with you? Are you willing to let your sister Yiyi cry? ”

How could a three-and-a-half-year-old child want to get so much, after listening to his mother's words, his mind was full of Sister Yiyi crying, and he suddenly stopped crying and choked instead: "I don't want Sister Yiyi to cry." ”

Yiyi's tears can't fall, and she has to comfort Xiaoyuan's younger brother like a little adult.

The two children went to say goodbye, and here Rao Xiaoqing stuffed all six canned meat into Zhou Yunmeng's package.

Zhou Yunmeng thanked with a smile.

Rao Xiaoqing helped carry the package, Zhou Yunmeng pushed the bicycle out of the yard, and Xiaoyuan took Yiyi's hand and walked out.

After another goodbye, Zhou Yunmeng rode a bicycle and left with Yiyi.

Children's emotions come and go as quickly as they come.

On the way out of the family courtyard of the meat factory, he was still sad and said that he was reluctant to give up his younger brother, and when he arrived in front of the department store, he happily wanted to pick up things for his grandmother and his grandmother's brothers and sisters.

Carrying a full package again, Zhou Yunmeng drove her home.

After breakfast the next day, Zhou Yunmeng carried a package and drove Yiyi to the Fengshan production team.

Zhou's mother was naturally happy to see her daughter and granddaughter coming, don't look at it, she hasn't seen her for a few days, she just thinks about it.

After Yiyi greeted her grandmother, she was a little disappointed to see that there were no brothers and sisters in the family.

Fortunately, there was a large group there, and the two were the same age, and soon they were happy to play together again.

Zhou's mother also coaxed her: "When we eat at noon, there will be two brothers and sisters who will go home to eat, and you can play with them when the time comes." ”

Yiyi was even happier when she heard it.

Zhou's mother pulled her daughter to sit in the hall and chatted: "The children have gone to school, and your brother and sister-in-law have gone to work." Your third sister-in-law is also idle, as soon as I come back to live for a few days, she will go to work to earn some work. ”

Zhou Yunmeng smiled: "Then there is a mother at home, they are naturally relieved, and my third sister-in-law is also diligent." ”

In addition to the large group of the Zhou family, the first five children in the front of the Zhou family have gone to study.

It's not like the Lin family who read according to age, which will take exams for junior high school and high school admissions, and don't take exams for elementary school but force them to take classes in senior grades, and it is also a crime to not learn.

The five children of the Zhou family have a poor foundation, and they all chose the grade that suits them to study.

In terms of tuition, the public is out, but Zhou's mother is not there, and the three brothers of the Zhou family basically earn work, which means that they pay for their children's education.

Zhou Yunmeng was very resolute when she heard that the second sister-in-law of the Zhou family was very resolute, and she was quite surprised and glad that she would also send her daughter to study.

In the words of Sister-in-law Zhou, Sister-in-law and Sister-in-law Zhou, with such an excellent role model as you, sister-in-law, in front, we must provide for our daughters to study.

That was the first time that Zhou Yunmeng deeply felt that he had also had a positive impact on his mother's side, and maybe the fate of these two nieces would change in the future.

This will be the two chatting for a while, and it is appropriate to play with the big group.

When the two brothers and sisters came back from school, the Zhou family came back from work, and the family was instantly lively.

The family had a lively meal and chatted, and sat down again after the meal.
