Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Chapter 26 The Change Is Quiet II

Sitting together with the four members of the family, Wang Jinjin lowered his head and was very stubborn.

"Let's get married first, let's discuss how to get married today." Wang Haifu, the head of the family, spoke first.

"What are you and that Qu Xiaomei planning? After getting married, will you live at home or move out?" Li Yufeng asked.Now she was bored with that Qu Xiaomei and didn't want to see her.

And she thinks that Qu Xiaomei doesn't want to live with her either.

"Xiaomei said that she would like to live with you after marriage." Wang Xian replied unexpectedly.

In fact, when the two discussed privately, Wang Jinjin wanted to move out, but Qu Xiaomei disagreed. She thought it would be more economical to live with the two old people.

In the words of decades later, Qu Xiaomei wants to grow old so that she can save more money after she gets married.

What Wang Xianjin said surprised the three of them, including Wang Weidong. The newly married two were like sweet honey, and it was inconvenient when the young couple lived with the old man.

The four people in the room were silent for a while, and Li Yufeng said, "That's good, the cost of getting married can be saved a lot. I already have a radio, bicycle, and sewing machine at home. Just buy a few sets of clothes and make a new bedding."

"My dad has retired, and I ride his bicycle now, but Xiaomei doesn't have one." Wang Xianjin said.

When he spoke, he glanced at Wang Weidong with his eyes.

Wang Weidong understood what the elder brother meant, and he said: "A bicycle is enough. It is so romantic to take your wife by bicycle when you go to work. Don't sit in the back seat. Let her sit on the beam and sit in your arms!"

Now that he has spoken, Wang Jinjin is ready to tear off the mask completely.

"You have to pay a little when I get married, right? It's just a bicycle, and I don't care about anything else you want." Wang Xianjin said.

"It's not embarrassing to have a big face, just open your mouth and it's a bicycle! What will you buy me when I get married?" Wang Weidong questioned.

Wang Jinjin didn't answer his brother's question, turned to his parents and said, "Xiaomei said that her parents want to talk to you two about getting married first."

"Which parents is Xiaomei talking about?" Li Yufeng asked.

Qu Xiaomei's adoptive parents are actually her uncle and aunt, while her biological parents are still in the countryside.

"Of course they are biological parents." Wang Xianjin replied.

Wang Weidong stood up suddenly, turned around and walked out. His parents called him, but he just pretended not to hear.

As an educated youth, Wang Weidong has spent two years in the countryside, so he knows the countryside very well.

When the children of Xiangyang Chemical Factory get married, both parents are usually factory employees. Most of them have known each other before, and they even have a good relationship with each other.It is also very simple for the two parties to sit together and discuss the matter of the child's marriage. The woman does not have many demands, and there are very few disputes. The two parties happily finished the discussion.

But it is different in rural areas. The parents of both parties have to talk back and forth like diplomatic negotiations for a long time just about the bride price, and even argue until the blushes are thick.

Wang Weidong also followed the ceremony several times in the countryside. From the time he picked up the bride on the day of the wedding, the man's parents were trembling in their hearts. The old man is completely at ease.

Wang Weidong once saw relatives of a man and a woman fighting at a banquet, which really opened his eyes.

Qu Xiaomei's parents wanted to talk to their own parents, naturally they wanted to talk about the bride price, Wang Weidong didn't want to get involved in this matter.

The society is slowly opening up, and the bride price matter used to be sneaky, but now it is rapidly resurgent and it is getting more and more intense.

Wang Weidong didn't go back to the house he rented directly, but went to Liu Jianguo's house.

"Jianguo, our factory has grown in size now, and there are many other things that need to be done. I can't bear the heavy burden alone. I plan to add a few factory leaders to help me share it." Wang Weidong said.

Liu Jianguo was very excited. He knew that among those who wanted to stand up and share, he must be himself.

"I'm going to appoint a production deputy director, who do you think is suitable?" Wang Weidong asked.

Asking his opinion, this shows that Wang Weidong does not want him to be the deputy director of production.

Liu Jianguo thought for a while and said, "I think Shi Yueshuang is very suitable. Her father is the director of Shi Factory."

"I also think Shi Yueshuang is suitable, but it's not because her father is the director of Shi, but because she has the highest level of education among us, and she is serious and responsible! If you don't promote such a person, who should you promote?" Wang Weidong said.

Liu Jianguo nodded hastily, he felt that this kid Wang Weidong was very duplicity.

"You come to be the technical deputy factory director, responsible for testing technology and radios. Every cadre, including me, will get an additional [-] yuan post allowance a month." Wang Weidong continued shamelessly.

"Of course it's good to do this, but will those who are not cadres have any opinions in their hearts?" Liu Jianguo asked worriedly.

"I have already thought about it. In the future, there will be more than 30 people in the factory on shifts. Five people will come to work half an hour in the morning to clean up. The cleaning fee will be [-] yuan per person a month. Cadres will also be scheduled inside. Even if you become a cadre, you can't escape from the masses and escape from labor, and cadres and cadres have to go one step further!" Wang Weidong replied.

In doing so, the cadres have increased by 20 yuan a month, and the ordinary workers have increased by [-] yuan. Everyone is happy.

Wang Weidong left Liu Jianguo's house and then went to Bao Qihang's house.

He called Bao Qihang outside and told Bao Qihang of his decision, and Bao Qihang's face immediately turned black.

He is just colorblind, and he stands out from the crowd in this disabled factory with more than 30 people!How is it different from normal people?
But Wang Weidong didn't think of him when he promoted the cadres!

"I think it is very appropriate for you to be the chairman of the labor union of our factory!" Wang Weidong said.

Bao Qihang's expression didn't improve much when he heard these words.

The chairman of the trade union in the Xiangyang Chemical Factory with tens of thousands of employees does not have much sense of existence. Being the chairman of the trade union in this factory with more than 30 disabled people is a piece of wool!
Wang Weidong put his right hand on Bao Qihang's shoulder and said solemnly: "Qihang, are we revolutionary comrades? Is it possible for revolutionary comrades to criticize and self-criticize? Today I will seriously criticize you!"

Bao Qihang looked up at Wang Weidong in surprise.

"You don't care enough about comrades! Think about it, the burden on the shoulders of the chairman of the labor union is heavy. Don't forget that the workers in our factory are not ordinary people, they are all disabled! What is the responsibility of the chairman of the labor union? It is to care They, be considerate of them!" Wang Weidong said.In his words, he vaguely classified himself and Bao Qihang as normal people, which made Bao Qihang feel much more comfortable.

"Think about it, it's raining and snowing, the weather is cold and the roads are slippery. They use crutches and wheelchairs. It's not easy to go to and from get off work! Especially at noon, they only rest for an hour or two, and they still have to go back and forth. It's too difficult to run home to eat!" Wang Weidong said with a sigh.

"I decided that they don't have to go home at noon in the future, and the factory will provide lunch. They each pay one dime and two taels of food stamps every day, and the factory will subsidize 40 cents. I know that I, Uncle Bao, used to be the only one in your family. My Aunt Bao is a housewife who has never worked, right? From now on, my aunt will cook lunch at your house, how about giving her [-] yuan a month in the factory?" Wang Weidong asked.

Bao Qihang listened with a smile on his face.Although he didn't become the deputy factory manager, he actually got the most benefits in this way.

"Weidong, don't worry, I will make sure all the employees eat well!" Bao Qihang said.

Thirty cents for a meal can guarantee that every meal will have meat and soup.

"It's not enough just to eat well. You must tell my aunt when you get home, and you must be careful when cooking. If these disabled people have diarrhea after eating, I will settle the score with you!" Wang Weidong instructed.

"I must pay attention, I must pay attention!" Bao Qihang said repeatedly.

"I'll give you two days to prepare. From now on, I'll ask my aunt to deliver the meals to the factory with a trolley every day at noon, and I'll let each employee prepare lunch boxes," Wang Weidong said.

Wang Weidong walked home in the night humming a song with his hands behind his back.

"..., the reactionaries were overthrown, the imperialists fled with their tails between their legs, and the people of the whole country are united..., what you can say, what you can do, and serve the people wholeheartedly..."

The next day, Wang Weidong called Shi Yueshuang and Chen Jihong, who were installing radios at their workstations, outside to have a private conversation.

When Shi Yueshuang came back, her face was very red, showing that she was very excited.She returned to her work station to calm down and continue to work with her head down.

Wang Weidong pulled the dumb girl Chen Jihong outside and handed her a bag.

Chen Jihong opened the bag in bewilderment and saw dozens of boxed condoms inside!
The dumb girl's face immediately turned red, and then she clenched her fists and fought Wang Weidong desperately!

Wang Weidong didn't expect the dumb girl's reaction to be so strong, he ran away, and the dumb girl chased after him with two big braids.

It wasn't until he saw that the dumb girl couldn't run anymore that Wang Weidong stopped and took out a notebook and opened it.

"Look, Chen, Ji, Hong, women's director, are in charge of distributing condoms!" Wang Weidong pointed to the words on the notebook and explained word by word.That's a good job for a dumb girl.

It is strange to say that among the more than 30 disabled people, almost half are male and half are male, but none of the males are married, but half of the girls are already married.Men generally look for someone whose qualifications are not as good as their own, and even then they still can't find them, while women generally look for someone with better conditions than themselves, so it is easier to find someone.

Thinking of this, Wang Weidong felt very emotional.

Two days later, more than 30 people didn't have to go home for lunch, but were sent directly to the factory by Bao Qihang's mother.

Everyone is satisfied with what they eat.

Who in this day and age has meat in their dishes every day?

One day half a month later, Shi Yueshuang returned home at [-] o'clock in the evening.

Factory Manager Shi brought the hot food in the pot to his daughter.

The rice consisted of two steamed buns, the dishes consisted of stewed cabbage with tofu and clear soup with little water. These were brought back by Factory Manager Shi in the factory canteen when he was off work.

Factory manager Shi looked at his daughter eating and asked with a smile: "How is it? Is the food not as good as your factory's food? Well, I really can't do my job anymore. I have worked for nearly 30 years before I became the factory manager. After working for less than a year, he is already the deputy director of the factory!"
