Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Chapter 162
At night, a dozen resting workers looked at Wang Weidong eagerly.

"Mine manager, we will continue to work here next month, come to us when you find a new coal mine, and we will follow you right away!" said a worker.

Others also joined in.

Wang Weidong really couldn't bear to tell the truth.

"The Chinese New Year will be next month. You can go home to celebrate the New Year. After the year, you can continue to work in the Datonggou Coal Mine. When I need someone, I will go to the Datonggou Coal Mine to find Zhou Maocai. He found you from the Datonggou Coal Mine. I'll ask him to look for you again when the time comes." Wang Weidong said.

Yu Delong came to the coal mine that day with those vicious people behind him. These workers must not have a good life if they stay here. They might as well go back to the Datonggou coal mine. Other nonsense.

Although the two months here are very hard, the workers earn 600 yuan, which is a considerable income, just to go home for a good year.

When work stopped on the afternoon of January 31, 6 to [-] tons of coal were mined from the roadway. The Hedong Mining Bureau bought it at a price of [-] yuan lower than the state-regulated price, and sold a total of more than [-] yuan.

Ou Xiaoyang returned to Hedong City one day earlier, and he set up a table in the hotel to invite Yu Delong to dinner.Yu Delong insisted on bringing two friends, he just wanted to show off that he had a friend like Ou Xiaoyang.

After those two people knew Ou Xiaoyang's identity, they sat by the table looking flattered.

Including Wang Weidong, there were five people at the wine table. Ou Xiaoyang took out four boxes of American ginseng slices and put them in front of Yu Delong, saying: "My friend got this. I got a dozen boxes and planned to give them to my parents during the Chinese New Year. Bring four boxes for you at a time, and go home to make up for your parents."

"Thank you Brother Yang!" Yu Delong said.Stuff is not important, what is important is face, if this matter gets out, my parents will have face.

In the afternoon, Wang Weidong and Ou Xiaoyang returned to the coal mine.

Today was the last day for the two to run the coal mine. Wang Weidong watched the workers of Masui during the day shift come into the office to receive the last ten yuan each from Zhou Maocai.

"Add food at night, and drink whatever you want!" Wang Weidong said.

The night shift does not require workers to go down the well, and they go their separate ways as soon as they wake up.

Except for the water pump and the air outlet, everything else in the coal mine has stopped operating, and it is waiting to be handed over to Yu Delong tomorrow.

Zhou Maocai was going back home to the Datonggou Coal Mine tonight, and Wang Weidong gave him 2000 yuan plus this month's salary of 300 yuan.

"It's a pity not to continue working in this coal mine, but you are indeed not suitable to continue working here. You will definitely not be able to work in the coal mine for a long time with your style! Weidong, you are very able to endure hardships, and you live and eat with the workers. But look at how other people do it? How comfortable you are! Only by being ruthless to others can you stand here!" Zhou Maocai said sincerely.

Before Zhou Mao left, the workers were still eating and drinking in the cafeteria.

Han Guiqin brought the food and wine into the office, and Wang Weidong and Ou Xiaoyang chatted while drinking.

"It's true that we can't work here for a long time. People like Yu Delong are everywhere here. I don't plan to contact Yu Delong after returning to Harbin this time, otherwise it will be very troublesome in the future." Ou Xiaoyang said.

"You are wrong. Many people here are not as good as Yu Delong. The sooner you leave here, the better. This time without your reasons, I would never dare to come here." Wang Weidong said.

"But this time we didn't lose money. We subcontracted [-] yuan to Shi Guozheng and the others. In the past two months, the total cost of materials, labor and other expenses was less than [-] yuan. We still made a lot of money." Ou Xiaoyang said.

"One more thing, the [-] kilograms of pollack have been sold, earning [-] yuan, and the two of us are [-] yuan each. I have not been idle during this period, and I have purchased hundreds of tons of bean cakes. Ask a friend to continue buying for me. This time in April, you can exchange forty or fifty tons of pollack over there.”

"I think it's better to exchange a little less in spring, for example, [-] tons or [-] tons. The relationship there needs to be strengthened. The bean cakes will be kept until the end of October to exchange [-] or [-] tons more at a time. It is still the same as the Spring Festival now. Sell ​​it later." Wang Weidong said.

"Okay, I will do as you said. I store all the bean cakes in the warehouse. I asked my friends to help me get some foreign exchange certificates. When I go to Beijing for the New Year next month, I will buy a few things in a big shopping mall. Give it to a friend over there." Ou Xiaoyang nodded and said.

When Yu Delong came to take over the coal mine the next morning, almost all the workers had left.

Yu Delong didn't care, there were plenty of coolies, and it was no problem to recruit dozens of workers to work here.

Wang Weidong first sent his father and father-in-law home by train.

In a place where no one was around, he handed two thick paper packages to the two old people respectively.

"When I got home, I told my family that I was almost cheated. This time, I didn't make any money at all. The Chinese New Year is only seven or eight days away. I will go back to Harbin and bring my grandma and Ji Hong home for the Chinese New Year." Wang Weidong Said.

The two old men opened the paper bag and counted 120 pieces of Da Tuan, which was 1000 and two hundred dollars.

"Weidong, if you are really cheated, I don't want a penny! But you have earned so much money, so you can't just give me and Lao Chen a thousand dollars each?" Wang Haifu said dissatisfied.

"Why is it one thousand? It's obviously one thousand and two." Wang Weidong said.

"I don't know you yet? You gave Lao Chen and me 200 yuan to go home to do business. You want to bribe me and Lao Chen with 1000 yuan to help you hide the fact of making money!" Wang Haifu said sharply.

"Since this is the case, you two will take 200 yuan back, and I will take back the 1000 yuan. After you go back, you can say whatever you want!" Wang Weidong said while grabbing the money.

"Forget it, one thousand is one thousand!" Old Chen quickly put the paper bag into his trouser pocket.

"I have no choice. This time, my sister-in-law thought that I was rich and went back to my mother's house to talk nonsense. If you are short of money, just tell me, and forget about the others. I really can't stand it and will cause trouble for myself." " Wang Weidong said helplessly.

As the train started, Wang Weidong waved to the two old people through the window.

The two old people unanimously divided the 1000 and [-] yuan in the paper bag into [-] and [-] yuan and put them in different pockets.

Five days later, Wang Weidong returned to Xiangyang Chemical Factory with his grandmother, daughter-in-law and children.

As soon as you walk into the factory area, you can feel the difference in the atmosphere.

Colorful flags are planted on the street, and slogans are painted on the walls.

"The float glass project is a crucial step for our factory to turn from the military to the civilian population. It is a big project that benefits the country and the people. It is a key step for all the cadres and workers of Xiangyang Chemical Factory to embark on a new journey!"

There was a powerful clanging sound from the loudspeaker on the telegraph pole.
