break out of the ice

Chapter 29

Because it was a snowy day, the car drove very slowly, and it was already past ten o'clock in the morning when we entered ZZ urban area.

Xiao Qian turned around and asked the two factory directors: "Where do you think we are going?"

Yan Weidong and Li Guangming looked at each other and said in unison: "The Erqi District Government."

"Okay." Xiaoqian agreed, stepped on the gas pedal, and the car headed towards the Erqi district government.

The Erqi district government is a small compound. Yan Weidong and Li Guangming got out of the car at the gate, asked Xiaoqian to park the car on the side of the road, and waited in the car first. The two entered the district government compound.

As the end of the year was approaching, the district government had a lot of work, which made Yue Xiheng, the executive deputy mayor, a little overwhelmed. He always felt that there were endless signings, endless documents, and endless meetings.

When the secretary said that someone was looking for him, he just said no.

Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a familiar voice: "What's the matter? District Chief Yue doesn't even want to meet people from the Mincheng Agricultural Machinery Factory?"

Yue Xiheng raised his head and saw that they were his two old friends.

Hurry over to shake hands: "Oh, why is it snowing, old brothers, please sit down quickly."

Then he poured tea for the two of them himself.

Li Guangming hurriedly snatched the kettle from Yue Xiheng's hand, poured water by himself, and said, "How can I ask you, a big leader, to pour water for us? I'll do it."

Yue Xiheng didn't argue with Li Guangming, and said: "Old Li just likes to joke. Back then, when we were in the agricultural machinery factory, it was such a heavy snow day. If you two hadn't saved me, I, Yue Xiheng, would have been reduced to bones. How could I be here today?"

Around 1970, Yue Xiheng, who was just in his 20s at that time, was the secretary of the Communist Youth League of Zhengzhou Agricultural Machinery Factory.

Under the general environment at that time, it was natural that he could no longer be the party secretary, nor could he stay in the big family of Zhengzhou Machinery Factory.

Fortunately, Yue Xiheng was very popular in the factory on weekdays. With the sympathy of some people, Yue Xiheng was sent to the countryside of Mincheng not far from Zhengzhou to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants.

At that time, Mincheng Agricultural Machinery Factory was in need of talents to expand its new workshop. Knowing that there was such a person as Yue Xiheng, they discussed with the village where Yue Xiheng was sent down and lent Yue Xiheng to the Agricultural Machinery Factory for a few days to renovate.

At that time, the village was struggling financially, with little land and a lot of people, and they were unwilling to ask Yue Xiheng, a burden, to increase their rations, so they agreed to lend Yue Xiheng to the Mincheng Agricultural Machinery Factory in the form of a loan of labor.

Although the Mincheng Agricultural Machinery Factory took Yue Xiheng in, it couldn't treat the educated youths who had been sent down seriously as workers, so they took care of Yue Xiheng's food and lodging but didn't pay him wages.

Yue Xiheng was in the workshop at the time, in the same class as Yan Weidong and Li Guangming. Because Yan Weidong was from a good background, his roots were good, and he was transferred from the military, he became the squad leader at a young age and took good care of Yue Xiheng.

One winter was extremely cold, Yue Xiheng had no money to buy cotton-padded clothes and quilts, and frostbite developed on his hands and face.

It just happened to catch up with the heavy snow that fell for a few days, and the small thatched hut that Yue Xiheng temporarily lived in the factory collapsed under the weight of the snow.

Yue Xiheng stayed overnight in the cold workshop where no one was there. When Yan Weidong opened the door the next day, he found that Yue Xiheng was all purple. He hurriedly worked with Li Guangming to send Yue Xiheng to the hospital. Only then did Yue Xiheng save his life.

Yan Weidong and Li Guangming paid for the medical expenses.

After leaving the hospital, the two of them helped Yue Xiheng repair the thatched cottage. Yan Weidong was newly married and had a quarrel with his wife, so he gave Yue Xiheng a new cotton quilt that he had used when he got married. Li Guangming contributed a new cotton quilt made by his mother. padded jacket.

This allowed Yue Xiheng to spend several winters in Mincheng safely without freezing to death, and the three of them became good friends.

Later, Yue's parents were rehabilitated, Yue Xiheng ended his five-year deportation in Mincheng, and returned to Zhengzhou. Instead of returning to the agricultural machinery factory, he came to work in the Erqi District Government. More than ten years passed in a flash.

Several people drank tea and recalled the past, Li Guangming said directly: "Old Yue, we came to you today to ask you for a little favor."

Yue Xiheng patted his chest: "Just talk about anything, and do what can be done."

Although the contact has never been broken in these years, Yan Weidong and Li Guangming rarely ask themselves to do things, and Yue Xiheng knows that this is a kind of protection for him.

"Actually, it's not a violation of the principle. It's just that our factory wants to open a sales office in Zhengzhou, and I want to ask you how to do it." Yan Weidong said.

"It's a good thing to open a sales department. Mincheng Wine Factory opened a sales department in Zhengzhou, but the agricultural machinery factory opened a sales department. I'm afraid the business is not very good. Zhengzhou has a Zhengzhou Agricultural Machinery Factory." Yue Xiheng helped old friends analyze .

"Open the sales department, don't sell agricultural machinery, sell refrigerators, Lengdie refrigerators." Yan Weidong said quite proudly: "Mincheng Agricultural Machinery Factory is now called Mincheng Lengdie Refrigerator Factory."

"It turns out that the Lengdie refrigerator is from our factory?" Yue Xiheng said in surprise: "This is really a fate. I bought a Lengdie refrigerator for the old man and the old lady, but the old lady used it improperly and broke the refrigerator. , It was the two boys from your Lengdie refrigerator who went to repair it, and even drove my old man to the hospital."

Shi Jingqi came to Zhengzhou to repair the refrigerator once. Both Yan Weidong and Li Guangming knew about it, but Shi Jingqi had never heard of saving lives. Hearing Yue Xiheng talk about it at this time, he was surprised that the fate was so wonderful, and at the same time, he felt great respect for Shi Jingqi. thumb.

Li Guangming said: "If you don't tell us, we really don't know. These two boys don't know how to say something after saving someone. Comrade Lao Yue, why didn't you express it when they saved your parents?"

Yue Xiheng said anxiously: "I've been so busy for a while that I can't get away. It's not appropriate for me to come forward for this kind of thing. If I don't come forward, I will appear insincere. I've thought about it too much." After a few days of free time, I quietly went to thank you.”

Yan Weidong remembered that time when Shi Jingqi came over, he was also brought by Xiaoqian by car.

He slapped his hands and said: "It's okay, it's okay, Lao Yue, one of the two boys, came with us today, and is waiting in the car outside the gate."

"Then please come in quickly." Yue Xiheng said while asking the secretary to invite someone outside the gate.

Li Guangming followed up and said, "At the gate, there is a black red flag car. The young man's surname is Qian."

The secretary went to invite someone, and several people took up the topic just now.

"Lengdie Refrigerator is going to open a sales department. There are several places. They are all the sales departments of other factories in Zhengzhou. I can't continue to work. I want to sell the sales department. I will send someone to show you the blueprint later. If you choose one, it can be regarded as a relief for our district, and these half-dead factories will cause headaches." Yue Xiheng said after drinking tea.

"That business, is it expensive?" Yan Weidong asked directly when he bought land and property in Zhengzhou for the first time.
