Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 476

It only took two stops to get on the bus, and Ruiyang arrived at Wanwanzhuang Community.

The east of Wanwanzhuang is a planned residential area, while in the west, there is an old-fashioned alley, where all the old BJ's courtyard houses are located, and the old man in Ruiyang lives there.

Compared with the rows of buildings in the planning area, the alleys to the west seem a bit secluded.

After crossing a street, the road ahead suddenly opened up, and Ruiyang stopped at the gate of a courtyard where Shanghai cars were parked.

At this time, there were two tall men in plain clothes standing at the gate of the courtyard. Ruiyang explained his purpose, and after showing his ID, he was led into the courtyard.

This courtyard house is a bit old, but the courtyard is clean, with some flowers and plants planted inside, and in the middle of the courtyard, an old man with gray temples is waving a wooden sword in his morning exercise.

The guard at the gate turned Ruiyang to the yard and left, while Lao Tzu was still concentrating on practicing his sword, his movements light and slow.

Seeing this scene, Ruiyang didn't say a word, but gently put the bottle of old Baifen in his hand on the marble bench beside him, and then stood quietly and waited.

After five or six minutes, the white-haired old man stopped what he was doing, and after taking a look, he said, "Why are you here?"

"Dad, I had a meeting in the ministry yesterday, and I came here specially to see you, old man." Ruiyang said respectfully.

"Come in and sit down." The white-haired old man signaled Ruiyang to enter the room.

Ruiyang heard the words and followed the old man into the house.

The size of the main house is small, but the layout is very simple and clean. There are several pots of asparagus bamboo on the balcony, which seem to have just been watered. Under the sunlight, they look crystal clear and emerald green.

At this time, a middle-aged woman was cleaning up the housework in the house. When she saw Lao Tzu entering the house, she immediately stepped forward, took the wooden sword from him, and put it on the shelf next to it.

"Xiao Li, get out!" The old man waved his hand, and the middle-aged woman turned and left, closing the door by the way.

"Sit down." The white-haired old man signaled Ruiyang to sit down.

"Dad, how is your health recently?" Ruiyang asked the old man with concern after sitting down.

"That's it. People who are old have nothing to look forward to..." The white-haired old man sighed, and then said: "Tell me about you, how is your work recently?"

"It went well. At the beginning of the year, a German second-hand production line was introduced to our Daxing Automobile Factory. At present, the factory's profits are good, and the output is several times higher than before..." Ruiyang said respectfully.

"I already know about this matter, you have done a good job, at least you are worthy of the foreign exchange spent by the country." The old man nodded when he heard the words, and then said: "I think you have had a hard time recently. ?”

"I think it's okay. There are not too many things to do, but it's a little far away from home." Ruiyang said after a moment of pondering.

"Your father entrusted you to me when he left. In fact, I have always regarded you as my own son. I originally hoped that you would stay and work in the capital, but you insisted on going to Daxing to be the director of the bureau. Everyone has his own ambitions." , I can't force you to do anything..."

"There is no room for me to flex my muscles in the capital, and it's really exhausting to spend time in the office every day." Ruiyang paused, and then said: "I just want to make a career while I'm still young." , I don't want others to say that I..."

"What are you talking about? Are you a softie?" A look of disapproval flashed across the white-haired old man's face.

"I don't care what other people think of me, I just think that I can't waste my life in vain. Although I may not be able to achieve the achievements of you and my father in this life, at least I have to struggle..." Ruiyang frowned slightly , and then said: "It's just that I have owed my family a lot in the past two years. I have been away all the year round, and Xiaofang can only rely on Xiaofang to take care of the two children in the family. I am also quite guilty..."

"Why are you guilty? A man should put his career first, and what you did is right." The old man glanced at Ruiyang, and then said: "Besides, my daughter is not that delicate. She also suffered with me when she was a child." Yes, marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog, there is nothing to say, but your two children have always missed you, you should come back to BJ more often to see them."

"Well, I see." Ruiyang nodded upon hearing this.

"You two children are pretty good. Ruihe is more honest and hard-working in his studies, but his ability is a bit mediocre. On the contrary, the little girl Ruixue is a bit smart. Although she is young, she is more mature and flexible in dealing with people and doing things than his brother. If you cultivate them well in the future, you will definitely have a great future." The old man said lightly.

"Rui Xue is indeed much smarter than his brother since he was a child, but it's a pity that he's a girl..." Rui Yang sighed softly.

"What's wrong with the girl? You're still so young, why is this idea even more outdated than my old man, women can hold up half the sky! In the future, Xiaoxue should be trained well, maybe she will be more promising than you in the future!" The old man glared at Ruiyang Said at a glance.

"Yes, yes, yes! Dad, you are right!" Ruiyang responded repeatedly.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, just come back and take a look if you can spare more time in the future." The old man paused, and then said: "You came to me today alone, and you also brought a bottle of wine. This filial piety, do you have anything to ask of me?"

"Father, you still know me." Ruiyang smiled slightly, and then said: "That's right, the ministry held a meeting yesterday to study and discuss the localization of imported cars. I think this is an opportunity for me. If the ministry If you can grant me another sum of foreign exchange, I think Daxing City can surprise the people of the whole country... ".

"Although I am now in a semi-retired state, I can still speak in your Ministry of Light Industry." The old man frowned slightly, and continued: "The country's foreign exchange is precious, and every investment invested Every penny needs to be heard. Nowadays, there are princely economies everywhere in the country, and leaders from all over the country are trying their best to obtain foreign exchange funds and projects for their provincial and municipal enterprises. I always give you a partial meal like this. In my eyes, do you think this will be good for you in the future? However, regarding the localization of the joint venture car you mentioned, I have also learned something recently. If you want to get this foreign exchange from the country, you need to have it What can you do?"

"Something available?"

"Even if you just come up with a set of samples that meet international standards, it proves that you have the local technology to produce this product in Daxing. Only in this way, it will be easier for me to ask for money, and only in this way, other provinces and cities Officials will be convinced..." the old man said seriously.
