Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Chapter 371 Money can only be exchanged for smiling faces but not feelings

Now that the affairs here are settled, Wang Weidong only rests at home for one day, and plans to return to Harbin the next day. He has to go back immediately to deal with the shipment of VCD parts from the VCD factory to the Yanghua factory.

The next morning, Qu Xiaomei got up an hour earlier, cooked scrambled vegetables and boiled eggs, and filled them up in a large aluminum lunch box.

After Wang Jinjin got up, he saw his wife was still busy in the kitchen, so he walked in to have a look. When he saw the rice and two kinds of stir-fried vegetables in the lunch box, he said, "I'm a big boss, can I get used to your little things?" ?”

It takes several hours to take the train from here to Harbin. Eating these things is better than buying boxed lunches and instant noodles on the train, right? " Qu Xiaomei said.

"Weidong found such a good school for our daughter to study in Harbin. After living in Harbin for so many years, the two of us did not spend a penny. Now he has found me a job that can make money. I have to express it anyway. .We don't have any money, we just need to do what we want." Qu Xiaomei said.

Hearing what his wife said, Wang Xian fell silent.

In his heart, it wasn't that he didn't have any gratitude to Wang Weidong, but this kind of emotion made him feel very uncomfortable, and he felt that he couldn't hold his head up in front of his brother.

After Wang Weidong got up, he saw Qu Xiaomei happily accepted the lunch box that Qu Xiaomei had prepared for him. He couldn't refuse at this time.

After eating in the morning, he put the lunch box in his handbag, and Wang Weidong rushed to the train station.

"How can I have any money? I don't even know what to do with this VCD player. I can't do this!" Wang Haifu immediately changed his mind and refused.

Two people are sitting in a gazebo.

The old lady Wang Suzhen used to work as an accountant in the factory when Wang Weidong and Ou Xiaoyang were running a radio factory in Harbin, and later went to Beijing to live with her son. When Wang Weidong, Song Yu and Ou Xiaoyang were selling scrap steel, Wang Suzhen went out again to manage money for them.

"One more thing, I want to set up a Vcd production factory in your name, that is, you are the legal person of this factory, and I will be responsible for other things." Wang Weidong said.

Last year, the land of the farm in Ussuriysk was turned over. This year, there should be a lot less weeds on the land. This year, it will be turned over again. Wang Weidong plans to send people to cultivate the [-]-acre land from next year. .

"Weidong, you are a big boss now, why are you still visiting me when you are so busy?" the old lady shouted loudly.

Hearing what Wang Weidong said, a smile appeared on Wang Haifu's face.

"Comrade Haifu, you are right to think so! For the sake of the country and the people, the head can be severed and the blood can be shed! What's so scary? Just charge up with the explosive bag and it's over!" Wang Weidong patted his father on the shoulder without saying a word. Big or small said.

Hearing what Wang Suzhen said, Wang Weidong felt a little sad.

The real reason why the old lady doesn't live in the capital is that she doesn't get along with her daughter-in-law at all, and her granddaughter lives in her grandparents' house all year round, and she doesn't get close to grandma Wang Suzhen at all.And the son who works in an agency thinks about how to make progress in his official career every day, and he has nothing to say to his mother.

The people who live in this cadre rest center are all old cadres who have reached a certain level, but they, like ordinary old men and women, hope that someone will visit them often, so that they will not be forgotten.

After dinner, Wang Weidong bought fruit and pastries on the street and went to a dry rest center in Nangang.

Wang Suzhen said: "When I am old, I am most afraid of being alone. I live in my son's house and have no one to talk to. It is better to live here! A group of old guys can talk and go out for a walk every day. "

"It's a good thing, definitely a good thing! My factory in Fushan that produces vcd components has been put into operation. Now the production efficiency of Xiangyang Chemical Factory is very poor. I want to find some jobs for the people there and let them earn a little money. So I set up a VCD factory in your name, transport the VCD parts to Xiangyang Chemical Factory, let the people there assemble them into VCD players, and then sell them. One person can earn at least a few hundred yuan a month!" Wang Weidong said.

"You can bring a few more this time, so that the work will be easier. Don't worry, I will give you all the money!" Wang Weidong said.

Now only grandma Huang Guiying, Wang Haifu and Li Yufeng are left in Harbin City, as well as their niece Xiaoya.

I couldn't stay in my own son's house, but went to stay in an outsider's house. What's the matter?

"Now that the weather is warm, you can travel to the south. You will live in Fushan for a few months. My villa is very big!" Wang Weidong said.

Father-in-law Lao Chentou and mother-in-law have gone back with Chen Jiwu and his wife after the Chinese New Year, and took Xiaolong away at the same time.

His face softened a lot.

Seeing Wang Weidong come back, neither Wang Haifu nor Li Yufeng treated him well. What's the use of earning money?The family is torn apart.

Six months ago, because she was not used to living in the capital, Wang Suzhen went back to Harbin and lived in a cadre rest center.

"I didn't know you came back from the capital until I heard from Xiaoyang." Wang Weidong said with a fruit cake in one hand and the old lady's arm in the other.

Hearing Wang Weidong mentioning money, Wang Haifu's face suddenly changed.

Wang Haifu thought for a while and said: "I believe that no matter how bad you are, you can't be bad. You won't cheat the employees of the Xiangyang Chemical Factory who grew up with you, right? You won't cheat your father and me, right? This I'm the factory manager!"

If it is really like what you said, then I will have a lot of face when I go back to Xiangyang Chemical Factory. "Wang Haifu said.

Wang Weidong registered at the gate of the cadre rest center. , the doorman picked up the phone and talked for a while, and after a while, an old lady who was nearly 70 years old came out.

"Of course, you are the big boss of the VCD factory. Those who assemble the VCDs are actually your workers. In the future, you will pay them." Wang Weidong said.

"I can do this job. Last year I took a dozen or so people out and stayed outside for half a month. Those old guys made money, so I'm very happy." Wang Haifu said.

Wang Haifu looked at his son with vigilance in his eyes.

"Why in my name? It must be a bad thing to be sneaky!" Wang Haifu said.

After several hours of train ride, Wang Weidong returned to his home in Harbin.

"I didn't make it clear just now. I purchase the parts of VCD, and then they are assembled by the employees of Xiangyang Chemical Factory. I am also responsible for the sales of VCD. You just have to bear a name. Of course, if you don't If I am willing to do something for those workers in Xiangyang Chemical Factory who can’t get paid, I can find someone else, but in that case I probably won’t let people from Xiangyang Chemical Factory assemble VCDs.” Wang Weidong said.

Wang Suzhen held Wang Weidong's arm with both hands and didn't know what to say for a moment.

She walked very slowly, but it could be seen that the old lady was walking towards Wang Weidong as fast as possible.

"Dad, I originally planned to plant the land in Ussuriysk this year, but I am too busy to take care of it. After a while, when you return to Xiangyang Chemical Factory, you will bring a few retired old comrades to Ussuriysk like last year. The farm in Sulisk, turn over the land there again." Wang Weidong said.

The two old people felt that their daughter, Ji Hong, and grandson Xiaolong were not by their side, so staying in Harbin was really meaningless. They might as well live with their son and take care of their daughter-in-law who was about to give birth.

"I just started working when I was 20 years old. At that time, what I thought in my heart was to study hard, pursue progress, and work hard for the country. The leader of the unit at that time talked to me and helped me match up with an old cadre. I’m a veteran cadre, but I’m not really old, I’m just close to 40 years old. At that time, I thought, this is the importance and care for me in the organization. Living with such a person, I can learn his thoughts and morals from him. Then you can make more progress." Wang Suzhen said while looking at the distance while recalling.

"Weidong, now that I'm old, many things have faded away, and many things have been taken lightly. You are a big boss now. You have to remember that power and money can bring smiles, but not feelings. ! Don't put all your thoughts on making money!" Wang Suzhen instructed.

It was already very late at night, and Wang Weidong broke up with the reluctant Wang Suzhen. He walked out of the dormitory far away and looked back to see the old lady standing at the gate waving to him.

"I'll pick you up in winter and take you to the south for the winter!" Wang Weidong shouted.
