Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Chapter 19 A Letter from the Grassroots Part One
Two days later, Wang Weidong came to Liu Jianguo's house again.

"Two days ago, I went to the house of Deputy Factory Manager Fang, who was in charge of the factory office. I said that I would lead you disabled young people in the factory to set up a radio factory to produce radios." Wang Weidong said.

"It would be great if we could catch up with the situation like that, but will the factory agree?" Liu Jianguo said worriedly.

"We can't wait passively, we have to fight for it ourselves!" Wang Weidong said.

The Northeast has the largest group of industrial workers in China. In other words, everyone is a member of the system. For a long time, they have developed a habit of obeying orders to complete tasks, but they have a serious mental inertia of waiting and relying on things.

"Jianguo, do you dare to write a letter, like your mother, to the leaders of the Ministry, reflecting the difficult situation of your family?" Wang Weidong asked.

Liu Jianguo was stunned by Wang Weidong's words. He looked at Wang Weidong speechlessly.

"Your mother is a well-known national model worker, who shook hands with great men! In the eyes of those big leaders, small leaders are nothing, but they treat people like your mother differently. It is not illegal to respond to family difficulties, you Smart and ingenious, are you willing to be a cripple for the rest of your life just because of one leg?" Wang Weidong asked.

Liu Jianguo was said to be tempted, and he murmured, "How should I write it?"

"Introduce yourself first. I'm talking about your mother, and then I'll talk about the family situation. The son in a difficult family doesn't even have a job because he has one leg. You can make a draft now, and I will help you as a staff member." Wang Weidong replied.

Liu Jianguo took out a pen and paper and began to write a letter in his mother's name. A letter was dry and finished in a short while.

Wang Weidong took the paper and looked at it twice and said: "Add a sentence at the beginning, saying that when I was interviewed back then, I burst into tears and vowed to dedicate my life to the revolutionary cause!"

"My mother was indeed crying at the time, and she was so excited." Liu Jianguo said.

"Then why didn't you write just now!" Wang Weidong said angrily.

After Liu Jianguo added what Wang Weidong said on the paper, Wang Weidong continued to read.

"One more sentence at the end: I dedicated my youth and my life, I dedicated my life to my children and grandchildren, but my son didn't even have the opportunity to contribute." Wang Weidong said.

Liu Jianguo silently repeated what Wang Weidong said just now and couldn't help admiring: "This sentence is well said! Weidong, you are very talented!"

Liu Jianguo has been at home for several years because of a disabled leg, and he can't see the future at all. After Wang Weidong encouraged him to go all out.

On the manuscript paper, he copied the contents of the draft neatly and stroke by stroke.

Wang Weidong read it several times and felt that there was no problem.

"I'll take this letter to the supply and marketing agency to buy envelopes and stamps and send it. Remember, don't tell your mother about this!" Wang Weidong instructed.

In the next few days, Wang Weidong went out to hang out every day. He played poker with three people at his friend's house. He played poker for a few hours. .

One afternoon, Wang Weidong returned home in a hurry to prepare dinner. He saw his mother Li Yufeng sitting on the edge of the kang chatting with grandma.

"There is no need to cook at night. I brought a few steamed buns stuffed with radish, and you just need to reheat them." Li Yufeng said.

Wang Weidong put the pot on the stove, added water and put the curtain on it, and put the buns on the curtain.

Li Yufeng said to the son who walked into the back room: "The person who introduced your eldest brother tonight will bring the girl into the house, and you and your grandma will also go back and help take a look."

After her son Wang Jinjin took over, Li Yufeng immediately took the next step and asked several people to introduce his son to someone. Today, the introducer took the girl to his home to meet Wang Xianjin.

"I won't go back, and I won't see it when I go back!" Huang Guiying said.

"I'm not going back, and I'm not giving me a date! If I go back, what if that girl takes a fancy to me?" Wang Weidong said angrily.

Li Yufeng was just being polite to her mother-in-law just now, and didn't really want her mother-in-law to go back, but she must take her son back tonight!

"This is your elder brother's lifelong event, you as a brother don't care about it at all!" Li Yufeng said to his son with wide eyes.

His mother had spoken, so Wang Weidong had no choice but to follow him back home.

The introducer and the girl hadn't come yet, Wang Haifu sat on a chair and smoked, and Wang Xianjin sat on the bed, looking very nervous, and there was excitement in the tension.

He was wearing a brand new Chinese tunic suit today, the top button was also buttoned up, his neck was straight and he couldn't lower his head, and he didn't know where to put his hands.

"Where does this girl work?" Wang Weidong asked.

"I heard it's from the factory cafeteria." Li Yufeng replied.

Wang Weidong stared at his elder brother Wang Xianjin and asked, "Have you seen this girl before, she looks pretty?"

"Nonsense, I haven't seen it at all!" Wang Xianjin denied it with a blushing face.

"You must have seen it! Look at the way you are scratching your head and scratching your head now, the hala is coming out!" Wang Weidong said.

Wang Xianjin turned his head and remained silent when his brother told him what was on his mind.

This girl was cooking in the factory cafeteria, and a group of young people in the factory said behind her back that she was beautiful.Wang Jinjin didn't expect such a beautiful girl to be introduced to him, and his nose was filled with beauty!
When there was a knock on the door, Li Yufeng said to Wang Weidong, "Go into the back room!" Then she hurried to open the door.

Wang Weidong walked into the back room and closed the door behind him. He walked to Wang Haifu and sat down.

The footsteps were getting closer and then I heard a woman's voice: "This is Li Yufeng and Aunt Li, we have been old comrades for many years. This is Xiao Wang Wang Jinjin! The young man is honest and wants to make progress!"

The voice stopped for a while, and the woman continued: "This is Xiao Qu, Qu Xiaomei, the girl is honest and wants to improve! You two take this opportunity to sit down and exchange ideas and have a good talk! Let's go ahead and talk about it yourself! "

Hearing the woman's introduction, Wang Weidong couldn't help smiling.

The door of the back room opened, and Li Yufeng walked in with a woman.

Wang Weidong knew this woman as an introducer. She was Zhao Huilan who worked in the factory's labor union.

Wang Weidong sat up and called Aunt Zhao, and Zhao Huilan hurriedly waved her hand to signal Wang Weidong to keep quiet.

The four people in the inner room sat quietly and listened to the movement outside.

No one in the outer room spoke for a long time, which is normal, young men and women are all embarrassed.

Suddenly the four heard the girl in the outer room say, "Why don't you talk?"

After a pause for a while, Wang Xianjin's groaning voice: "Say—what—what?"

Wang Weidong couldn't help laughing out, he could fully imagine Wang Xianjin's groaning and deflated belly.

Li Yufeng rolled her eyes and gave Zhao Huilan a dissatisfied look.

Zhao Huilan smiled embarrassedly.

She understood the reason for Li Yufeng's dissatisfaction, and she knew from a conversation between the two people outside that Wang Jinjin had no experience in dealing with men and women, while that girl Qu Xiaomei had a lot of vicissitudes.
