The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 6

After becoming a full-time employee, Li Weidong walked into a formal office, a board room, and boards of wood. Steel plates are so expensive now. Steel is a hard currency, and there is a shortage of steel everywhere in the country.

It is near the door, so it can run fast during an earthquake. This prefabricated house does not need an earthquake, and it will collapse when there is a strong wind of magnitude [-]. Fortunately, there is a red brick factory building outside to protect it.

"Li Weidong, we all know each other. In the future, you will work together and gradually get to know each other. I don't need to introduce them one by one. Xiao Li is an undergraduate student and a high-achieving student. You should learn more from him in the future!"

Li Shaohua, the leader of the technical team, made everyone hostile to Li Weidong with a single sentence. Sometimes conflicts are established in this way. The speaker has no intention to listen to the listener. Maybe Li Shaohua asked Li Weidong to motivate them, but these words made everyone feel that Li Weidong is better than them up.

After Li Shaohua finished speaking, he left directly. His office is in the red brick wall next to him, which is very sturdy. Of course, he can see the craft team when he goes out. He is very assured that the craft team will not be able to make waves in his hands.

National Day, two days off, no Golden Week, no small holidays, people in the whole country only have 59 days off each year, and people all over the country are working hard, two days on May [-]st, two days on National Day, three days on Spring Festival, so asking for leave is That's king.

Li Weidong took two days off and Sunday off for a total of five days. Li Weidong is not a local, so he can take time off to visit his relatives, but he can't take a vacation after working for less than a year, and even if he has worked for a year, the factory is so busy that it is impossible to let him go You go on vacation.

It is only with the permission of the leader to take the time off. Otherwise, if you choose to leave on the same day, how can you still work in the factory? In fact, you have to have a holiday during the Chinese New Year, and don’t even think about other vacations.

On the train back home, Li Weidong was carrying a large bag of things. Although the demand for tickets for some things is not so strong now, the supply of things in big cities is naturally much more abundant than theirs, and there are also many good things. There are a lot of finished clothes, shoes and so on.

There is nothing needed in the factory for the salary of more than two months. Naturally, he spends less and keeps more. Although these are the capital for his rise, he is reluctant to spend any cents, and it is different for his parents, brothers and sisters.

The eldest sister, Li Weihua, is now married, and her husband is his father's apprentice. In the last life, her brother-in-law, a bricklayer, fell off a scaffold when she was in her 40s. She struggled for two years and passed away on the eve of the Olympics.

They left behind a son and a daughter, who will finish college with a small pension. The daughter is easy to marry, but it is difficult for the son to marry a wife. It was not until the age of 30 that my business improved, and only with the help of my uncle Bought a house and got married.

Before crossing, I had a conversation with my eldest sister, and seeing that my grandson and daughter-in-law were having an unpleasant fight, I even tried to persuade her.Now this little nephew is only two years old, and he can't speak well. His daughter will not be born until the Chinese New Year, so he paid a fine of [-] yuan for this.

The second brother, Li Weimin, is not yet married. He finished his studies after finishing junior high school. With his father and brother-in-law working in nearby villages and towns, he was as tired as his grandson every day. Li Weidong tried to persuade him, but it didn't work. In his previous life, he married It’s not bad to have a daughter-in-law, but she can’t get along with the old lady. They quarreled all over the place, gave birth to a son and put it in the old lady’s house. She herself worked with Li Weimin on the construction site to earn money.

The younger sister, Li Weihong, is just a sophomore in high school now, and she will take the college entrance examination the year after next. Her grades are not high or low. In her previous life, she was finally admitted to the teacher's college in this city. He is also the teacher's husband, and his gentle life is not bad.

Li Weidong leaned on the seat, looking out the window, the memory in his heart slowly flowed, he felt that he had to live up to it, although he said it in his previous life, it was okay, but he didn't live a good life until the year of knowing his destiny, The rest of the day is spent worrying about money.

He is a lazy person, but at this moment he feels that he should be a lazy rich person, at least not worrying about money is the lowest standard.

It took less than four hours to drive, and I walked for four and a half hours. I was slowly getting late along the way. It would not be a problem if I arrived at the end of the night for a day and a half. This is how the train is at this time. Even in later generations, it is only after the emergence of high-speed rail. Slowly get up on time.

When I came out of the ticket gate, I saw Li Weimin waving a sun visor (straw hat) at the door. Li Weidong was relieved. He was afraid that Li Weimin would not see the letter he wrote. Thank you for the postal speed at this time.

Apparently, it was faster due to the adjustment of ordinary mail service fees this year. In the middle of this year, it was adjusted from the original four cents to the current ten cents. Zheng Yang complained about this for a long time.

Passing the luggage to Li Weimin, he took out the cigarette and lit it himself, and felt comfortable only after exhaling the smoke ring.

"Brother, you've already smoked a big chicken. The cigarettes are not cheap. Our foreman only smokes the big front door!"

Li Weidong took a look and knew what was going on, picked up the cigarette case and handed it to his brother.Without putting down the luggage, he took the cigarette case with one hand, picked up a cigarette with a shake of his hand, lit Li Weidong's cigarette butt, and put the cigarette case in his pocket without any hassle, and he knew he was an old smoker by the way he smoked .

Walking out of the station, Li Weidong followed Li Weimin to the place where the bicycle was parked, paid five cents, and rolled out the bicycle.Li Weidong asked Li Weimin to sit in the back with his luggage, and kicked himself up.

It takes more than two hours to bike from the county town to Lijiazhuang. If you can't find a suitable car, you will have to walk for five or six hours on one pair of legs. Li Weidong has already walked this road very well four years ago, once a week. Back and forth, most of the time is on foot, and sometimes you can meet an ox cart that goes along the way, and the kindness of the person will let him go along.

A shoulder pole, with big pancakes on one end and books, clothes and pickles on the other. He had to thank that he had been in high school for two years at that time, and he had walked for three years, otherwise he would have walked for another year.

Along the way, I listened to Wei Min talking about family affairs, and followed my father and brother-in-law's affairs on the construction site.

Now that the conditions are better, more people are building new houses. Li Weidong’s father, Li Chengwen, is a well-known carpenter, and he can also do some mason work, so every house likes to ask him to help. Order food or something, now everyone can eat enough, and the family doesn't need food anymore, most of them give some wages.

A craftsman like Li Chengwen can give four or five yuan a day, Li Weimin can give two yuan a day, brother-in-law Gao Anbang is half a carpenter, and he can give three yuan a day, but there are not many jobs like this.

After passing Xujiawan is Lijiazhuang. Half of the entire Handong Province belongs to plains and half is hilly and mountainous. Xujiawan is at the junction of the two. Qiushan County is not an old county. At that time, Qiushan County was not developed, and it was still the bottom county in Handong Province.

Lijiazhuang is in a mountain depression. There are hundreds of households in the village. Most of them are surnamed Li, and a few are mixed with several foreign surnames. Brother-in-law Gao Anbang is one of them.

There is very little land in the village, and most of the villagers have never been out of the county, so Li Weidong is the only college student in Lijiazhuang who went to school.

Looking at the earthen house in front of him, Li Weidong felt very unhappy. If he hadn't insisted on going to school, and later went to BJ to go to school, the subsidy was not enough, and the family was helping, I am afraid this house should be renovated.

　If you like it, I hope to collect and recommend it, thank you
