National Tide 1980.

Chapter 645
Kang Shude didn't reject Ning Weimin's kindness again, and turned around and quit his job with the jade factory.

It also happened that more than a dozen old workers in the factory were about to retire.

It happened that there was a Zhuer who had a particularly difficult family, who pestered the chief of the administrative department every day, negotiating conditions.

Said that I have a "medicine pot" wife, after retirement, the salary will be reduced by [-]%, life is really sad.

If the factory can't give him a part-time job, he won't quit, and he will have to work for a few more years.

In this way, the old man's resignation was tantamount to inadvertently solving a headache for the factory and helping a difficult family.

Therefore, there was no need for a transition period, and the old man retired after two or three days.

Moreover, the head of the administrative section is quite particular. He paid the old man a whole month's salary that month, which is equivalent to taking 30 yuan from the factory for nothing.

The old man is not alone.

I borrowed flowers to present Buddha, and used the money to invite the administrative section chief, and a few people who get along well in the factory on weekdays, to have a meal in a small restaurant together.

This is called losing face and living favor.

So even if others leave, what they leave behind in the factory is nothing but praise.

People don't say that the old man is serious and responsible in his work.

Hot water and newspapers were delivered on time, and letters and phone calls were delivered in a timely manner.

That is to say, the old man is benevolent, not stingy, but also warm and kind.

Especially those who made stone carvings for Ning Weimin through the old man, they regretted the old man's departure the most.

Because once Kang Shuode left, although they still had extra money to do, the finished work could no longer be stored in the reception room like in the past, waiting for someone to come and collect it.

They have to send them to the handicraft workshop in Meishi Street by themselves.

Not only do you have to run errands, but you also have to deal with strangers. It is not as convenient as it used to be to look at the height of the eyebrows.

The jade factory is like this, and the neighbors in the No. 2 courtyard of Fan'er Hutong are more interested in Kang Shude.

As soon as she heard the letter of Kang Shude's resignation, Aunt Bian took the lead in making connections.

The neighbors in No. 2 Yard are now all contributing 120 yuan because Ning Weimin is rich.

At the Henan restaurant in Dashilan, Qianmen, which used to be the time-honored "Hou De Fu", three tables were reserved for Kang Shude's wine.

On that day, except for Mi Xiaoran who was far away across the ocean, all the neighbors in the No. 2 courtyard of Fan'er Hutong gathered together.

Even the eldest daughters of the Bian family and the Luo family and their sons-in-law came, and all of them were well-dressed.

Everyone dressed up very carefully, and put on the good clothes that were pressed at the bottom of the box.

In particular, Ning Weimin specially brought two bottles of French champagne to add to the fun.

This misunderstood the manager of the restaurant.

I thought Kang Shude was some kind of big shot with a lot of background, and everyone was celebrating his birthday.

So the manager went out in person and suggested that a birthday noodle should be added to the table.

It was only later that I realized that this was not the case at all, and it turned out to be a joke.

Needless to say, during the banquet, watching the lively scene of toasting and drinking, and drinking the fine wine that the neighbors respected each other in turn, Kang Shude was radiant and extremely happy.

He never expected that an ordinary person like himself would make such a big commotion when he went home to take care of himself.

These days, in fact, when most cadres retire, it's a situation where people just leave the tea.

I can clearly feel the loss of having the right not to use and expired.

Such a comparison, of course Kang Shude was even more relieved and flattered.

As a result, the banquet was over, and he couldn't sleep that night, and kept talking to Ning Weimin in private.

"Hey, Weimin. What are you talking about? Everyone is too polite, and you take me too seriously for mobilizing people like this. I can't bear it. I owe you so much..."

Unexpectedly, Ning Weimin laughed out loud, he had already thought about it.

"Old man, how wonderful this is. This is called being as close as a family, and it is not in vain for us big guys to be neighbors. As for this kind of favor, no matter how big you are, you are not afraid. If we catch up with each other, it will be over. The days are slow Slow down, there are opportunities.”

"Don't forget, in two days, our father and I will have to go to Jinmen. We have to bring some souvenirs for everyone when we come back. And this summer, I am thinking about where I should take you To escape the heat."

"Well... how about this? Don't those leading cadres pay attention to going to Beidaihe for recuperation? I might as well hire a bigger car and take everyone from our hospital to Beidaihe to play for a few days. Grandpa and aunt here , Master Luo, and Aunt Luo are definitely able to go, as for the others, it depends on how they shift their shifts. What do you think?"

What else does Kang Shuode have to say? This is a great idea, and it made him feel much more at ease.

This apprentice is really not in vain, he is sensible and capable.

Even if his own son is still there, I'm afraid it's not what he wants to do.

Among other things, he just said that he just expressed his desire to go back to his hometown to have a look. In addition to paying homage to the ancestor's grave, he also wanted to sweep the grave of his wife and children.

Unexpectedly, Ning Weimin would really do what he said.

As promised a few days ago, this kid put aside all other things without saying a word.

Not only did he have to drive him back to Jinmen himself, but he also prepared many gifts for him to give to his friendly neighbors and old friends.

What is this called?
Accompany him to return to his hometown!
As the saying goes, if wealth and honor do not return to the hometown, it is like walking at night in brocade clothes.

You know, 20 years ago, he was repatriated from the capital and returned to his hometown, and everything he owned was wiped out.

The neighbors in my hometown have only seen how he is down and out, but have never seen him in high spirits.

Now that he returns to Jinghai, he really wants the big guy to see that the capital city is his treasure land, and he, the grasshopper after autumn, has come back to life.

Even if he is alone, he is not a desolate old man with nowhere to turn to.

Without a son, he can still lead a good life by referring to the good apprentice he found in Beijing.

In this way, on May 5th, Ning Weimin drove his American jeep and took Kang Shuode from the small courtyard of Fan'er Hutong to Jinmen Jinghai.

The weather was amazing that day, the sun was shining brightly, and the wind was gentle.

Whether the temperature is hot or not, or whether it is cold or not, it is just right.

Uncle Bian, Master Luo, Aunt Luo, and Master Mi, who is on the evening shift, have nothing to do during the day, so they went out together to see them off.

Seeing Ning Weimin and Kang Shude's jeep drive away, even they were very envious.

"Hey, Lao Kang has survived. He has such a good apprentice. He is no worse than his son."

"No, old Kondo is so lucky to go to Tianjin in an American car."

"Hey, this has to be called fate. You have forgotten how the old and the young were pinched together? It seems that everything is arranged by God."

That's right, such a "guard of honor" is already equivalent to the treatment of the director.

Maybe today's people will feel a little hypocritical, and it doesn't mean much.

But for Kang Shude's life, it was a milestone and a very important move.

His eyes were looking out the window, watching the shops on both sides of Qianmen Street whizzing by behind him, he was very happy.

Couldn't help but praised the apprentice a few words.

"Not to mention, your car is quite stable. I didn't expect you to be so promising, you can drive a car around the city every day, and even I have followed you. Okay, like this , we can come back from Jinmen in two days."

Unexpectedly, Ning Weimin said, "Why are you in such a hurry to come back? No need. Old man, I finally came out with you. You can go shopping at Wudao, Quanyechang, and Tanggu. What about Shilin, Dengying? Lou and Goubuli are also going to taste it. The key is to have fun, and your happiness comes first.”

Kang Shude was heartbroken when he heard this, but the more he did this, the more he shook his head.

"Don't, don't delay your business for me."

And Ning Weimin said. "What's the business? Serving you is my business. For example, it's like the opposite side of the strait. I have been nervous with us for so many years. No, the other side has also announced that it has given up the confrontation. Start talking to us about peace. Yes. I found that the more serious and important things are, the less you can be in a hurry and take your time. Only when you don’t rush or panic can you do it well. Don’t you think so?”

However, these words made Kang Shuode suddenly startled, "What? What did you say? Is there any new movement on the other side of the strait?"

"Yo, you don't know, shouldn't you? You are so anxious to inquire about Mr. Song's whereabouts. Aren't you the most concerned about this aspect of news? Yesterday's newspapers and broadcasts are available! "News Network" is also on, say Recently, cross-strait relations have entered a new era..."

"Hey, I just packed my things for today's departure, and I didn't pay attention to yesterday's newspaper... This is really, it's a delay..."

"Don't worry, old man. I have a radio in my car. I'll turn it on and you can listen to it. Maybe the news program will be broadcast, okay?"

"Hey, your car has foreign speakers, you can listen to the radio..."

"That's an American car, I'll open it for you..."
