Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Chapter 20 A Letter from the Grassroots II

It was over after an hour of meeting.

Zhao Huilan went out and said: "It's getting late, I have to work tomorrow, and you will find an opportunity to exchange ideas in the future."

She was not optimistic about the prospect of the two young people getting together in the future, and she could already see that Li Yufeng was very dissatisfied with this girl.

Li Yufeng, Wang Haifu and their two sons politely sent them away. When they returned to the house, none of the four said a word.

Wang Xianjin immediately knew that Li Yufeng was not satisfied with this girl by looking at his mother's face, so he lowered his head and said nothing to prepare to confront his mother.

He is very satisfied with this girl, he wants to marry this girl, very, very much.

"Weidong, what do you think of this girl?" Li Yufeng asked suddenly.

The two brothers have always fought against each other since they were young. Although Li Yufeng was very dissatisfied, she still wanted Wang Weidong to take the lead.

"Mom, you don't want to be a bad guy, you want me to be a bad guy?" Wang Weidong said dissatisfied.

He turned to Wang Xianjin and said, "Even if you are willing, it depends on the girl's attitude. If both of you are willing, then let's get married. Whether it is good or bad is your own business, don't blame others in the future!"

"This girl is not good, she is scheming and sophisticated!" Li Yufeng said.

No one in the room spoke again, one was willing, one was against, and the remaining two were bystanders.

Wang Haifu is the pillar of the family, but that is for the outside world, and Li Yufeng is in charge of family matters.

Wang Jinjin kept his head down but didn't speak, and he also began to resist with silence.

"Anyway, I don't agree! I don't take money!" Li Yufeng used her trump card.

The financial power of the family is in her hands, how can you get married without money?

When Wang Weidong returned home, his grandma Huang Guiying heard footsteps and asked, "How is that girl?"

"It is said that he looks good, my brother is willing, my mother is not, but seeing my brother's appearance, I have to stay with him. As long as that girl is willing, the marriage should be concluded! In another 20 years, I will have a good life with my mother Yes!" Wang Weidong replied.

Huang Guiying was very satisfied with Wang Weidong's answer.

Sitting cross-legged on the kang, she giggled with her blind eyes open, like a tumbler.

"Do you know why your mother insists on letting you participate in this matter? She knows that you have made money in the past few months. When your brother gets married in the future, your mother wants you to contribute too!" Huang Guiying said to her grandson.

More than 20 days after Wang Weidong put the letter written by Liu Jianguo into the mailbox, at the regular meeting of the leaders of the Ministry of Machinery Industry, Minister Zhang took out a letter and said: "This is a letter I received from the staff a few days ago. After reading the letter, I am very touched! You all take turns to read it!"

When the letter was delivered, Minister Zhang said: "This letter was written by a national labor model. There is a sentence in it that moved me very much! She dedicated her youth and life, and her children and grandchildren, but her son has a disabled leg. , without a job, it’s very difficult.”

The letter was passed around and returned to Minister Zhang.

"A large number of educated young people have returned to the city, and employment is a big problem! There are hundreds of factories directly under the Ministry, and tens of thousands of unemployed young people. We must find a way to solve this problem!" Minister Zhang said.

A week later, director Shi of Xiangyang Chemical Factory called Fang Huawen, the deputy director in charge of the factory-run enterprise, to his office.

On his desk was the letter written by Liu Jianguo in honor of his mother Fuguirong, which now contained Minister Zhang's instructions.

"Comrade Fu Guirong, an old model worker in our factory, wrote to the leaders of the ministry to reflect the family's difficulties. Her son is currently out of work because of his disability," said Factory Manager Shi.

"Why is Comrade Fu like this! You can report to us if you have any difficulties. How can you write to the leaders of the department!" Deputy Factory Director Fang said.

"The problem still lies with us. We haven't seen the difficulties of the employees, let alone solved them." Director Shi said.

"Now there are hundreds of healthy unemployed young people in the factory, and his son has a disability, and there is no way to solve it. It is easy for her son to solve the work alone, but what about the others?" Fang Huawen said.

He looks at Director Seok as he talks, because Director Seok’s daughter is also disabled due to polio.

"Yes, we are going to introduce a policy to solve this problem in an all-round way." Director Shi nodded and said.

Fang Huawen suddenly remembered that Wang Weidong went to his house that night.Leaders think differently from ordinary people. Fang Huawen needs to think about this issue from multiple perspectives and consider various influences.

So he hasn't told the director and secretary of the factory about it these days.

But now he thinks it's a good time to talk about it.

"I have something I want to discuss with you and the secretary. The grandson of Wang Zhenwu, my master when I evolved into the factory, found me a few days ago. This kid is also an educated youth, and he has no job when he returns to the factory. Selling vegetables at the farmer’s market in Fengshan County, he earned more than 500 yuan in half a year. However, he saw that many disabled youths in the factory had no jobs, so he suggested to me that he would take the initiative to set up a small radio factory to produce radios. After repeated thinking, I think it is feasible , now that the masses urgently need to enrich their spiritual and cultural life, we produce radios to meet the needs of the masses.” Fang Huawen said.

While listening to Fang Huawen's report, Director Shi looked at the letter on the desk. Now he must take immediate measures to give the Ministry a satisfactory answer.

"This Wang Weidong is not bad. After making money, he still thinks about other people. You go and find him. I want to hear what he has to say." Director Shi said.

Fang Huawen walked out of the factory director's office and immediately sent someone to find Wang Weidong.

The people sent out found Wang Haifu's home as a matter of course. After retirement, Wang Haifu, who was idle at home, was shocked when he heard that the factory director was going to see his son.

"Don't worry, I heard it's a good thing! Get Weidong right away, and Director Shi wants to hear his report on the construction of the factory." The person sent explained.

After hearing the explanation, Wang Haifu felt much relieved, and immediately went to the house rented by his mother and Wang Weidong to find someone.

But he only saw his mother sitting on the kang alone, and Wang Weidong was nowhere to be seen.

"Weidong went out to play, he's not at home every day these days." Huang Guiying said to her son.

Wang Haifu walked around the residential area of ​​the factory but did not find Wang Weidong.

When Li Yufeng came home at noon, Wang Haifu told his wife about it.

"It's a good thing, even Director Shi wants to see him! Wei Dong makes money and thinks about others, which is a good thing." Li Yufeng said happily.

Wang Haifu shook his head and said, "Weidong likes to talk about big things since he was a child. He told his classmates that revolutionary comrades should help each other and then asked them to copy homework for him. Obviously we didn't plan to let him take over, but now everyone in the factory thinks He was the one who gave up the opportunity to take over to his brother. I don’t know what kind of plans he has in mind this time.”
