A trip starting from the courtyard

Chapter 803 Ever since he kicked me out of the house, he no longer has this right

A construction site in Guizhou

Zhou Zhigang is leading his own team, and 25 other teams, with a total of more than 3000 people, busy in full swing.

In May 76, Guizhou's construction was in short supply, and the higher authorities decided to transfer a group of old workers from Sichuan and Sichuan next door to support it.Zhou Zhigang, an eighth-level bricklayer and work activist, was impressively on the list. He was overjoyed when he found out.

Traveling from Sichuan to Guizhou is hard work for others, but it is a dream for him, and he even feels like he has come from heaven.

Because her daughter Zhou Rong is in Guizhou.

The next day when most of the army arrived in Guizhou, Zhou Zhigang asked the team for a five-day vacation. His son-in-law did something stupid and was arrested for several months and has not been released yet. He was really worried about his daughter.

When they arrived at Zhou Rong's residence, they saw her daughter's haggard face, she was thin and out of shape, and she swallowed the words of blame in an instant.

When Zhou Rong saw her father, she was pleasantly surprised and surprised, "Dad, why are you here?"

Zhou Zhigang snorted coldly, walked into the cave on his own, went to the dining table and found a stool to sit down on.

Zhou Rong happily poured her father a cup of hot tea. The father and daughter sat dryly for a while. Zhou Zhigang didn't hold back, and opened his mouth first, "How is Huacheng?"

"The performance of Huacheng these years has been very good. His unit has agreed to come forward, and it shouldn't be long before he can release it."

"That's fine."

Zhou Zhigang picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and then asked about the ins and outs of the train station. After Zhou Rong finished speaking, he severely criticized the couple. After suffering for so many years, they still haven't learned their lesson.

Feng Huacheng was in his forties, and he still acted impulsively without considering the consequences. As his wife, Zhou Rong should stop this risky behavior in time.

Zhou Rong didn't talk back this time, but said a few soft words along with her father, and then asked about the situation of her mother and Yueyue
After Zhou Zhigang finished visiting relatives and returned to work, within half a month, Zhou Rong wrote him a letter, telling him that Feng Huacheng had been released, but for some unknown reason, Feng Huacheng secretly went to the capital. She had asked for leave and was going to leave for a while. Go to the capital.

Until the end of the year, Zhou Zhi had just received a letter from his daughter. Feng Huacheng was arrested again because of his involvement in sensitive incidents, and she had returned to Guizhou.

Zhou Zhigang put down his daughter's letter. After a while, he sighed feebly.

"Master, your letter is from Jichun." Apprentice Guo Cheng handed over a letter with a smile. Zhou Zhigang stopped what he was doing, took it over and looked at it, and there was a flash of surprise in his eyes. It was actually written by his youngest son himself. Yes, since the father and son got into a stalemate, the youngest son has not written him a letter. Usually, the wife asks the youngest daughter-in-law to write the letters.

He greeted the deputy team leader, and took the apprentices to the temporary rest shed built with moso bamboo.

Guo Cheng sent a cup of hot tea with great discernment. Zhou Zhigang drank a couple of sips, warmed up, tore open the envelope, and took a rough scan of two lines of words on a piece of paper.

Before reading a few words, Zhou Zhigang stood up excitedly, and Guo Cheng, who was watching from the side, was a little puzzled.

Zhou Zhigang patted the apprentice next to him hard, and laughed heartily, "Bingkun's wife gave birth to three fat boys for our old Zhou family."

Guo Cheng immediately sent his blessings, Ma P said no money from his mouth, Zhou Zhigang walked around the rest shed twice excitedly, and suddenly thought of something, he hadn't named his three grandchildren yet.

He had thought about several names before, but they were all without consecutive numbers. He asked Guo Cheng for the Xinhua Dictionary, and after several days of research, he finally decided on the name of the third generation of the Zhou family.

At the end of the month, Fu Lili returned to work after her maternity leave.

In this era, maternity leave is very short, with a total of 56 days, unlike decades later, when it can be hundreds of days at every turn, and in some provinces it can even last as long as a year.

There is one less helper, but Zhou's mother is too busy. It is very difficult to take care of one child, let alone take care of the triplets. In addition, Feng Yue, who is one and a half years old, is a little exhausted within two days.

Seeing this, Wang Lidong discussed with his daughter-in-law to find a nanny for the family, otherwise Zhou's mother would be exhausted before long.

Fu Lili thought for a while and then said, "I have a suitable one. It used to be my nanny named Sister Zhang. She has been my nanny for more than 20 years. I was brought up by her. A few years ago, my parents After going to the farm, she returned to her hometown in the countryside.

During the Chinese New Year this year, Sister Zhang heard that my parents were back, so she came to Jichun to see my parents and asked if she could come back and continue to be a nanny, but my parents refused. "

"Why don't your parents agree?"

"They're worried that they'll be labeled as something messy."

This is frightening.

Wang Lidong also inquired about Sister Zhang's situation. She is 48 years old, widowed, honest and responsible, with two sons and a daughter, both of whom are married.

It sounds good, Wang Lidong plans to try it.

The next day, he talked to his wife about hiring a nanny. When Zhou's mother heard that she had to pay 50 yuan a month, she felt a little distressed, "If Chunyan's mother came to help, she wouldn't have much to do during the day."

Wang Lidong refused without even thinking about it, "Don't, don't use favors for things that can be solved with money. In the future, when you pay back favors, you have to pay them back twice as much."

Zhou's mother couldn't help nagging a few words. Most of their optical films could not survive in the customs, so they came to Jichun to ask for the hardships of life. Haha, for so many years, it was all thanks to everyone's help to get through the difficulties.

You help me, and I will help you next time. This is how relationships come about.

Wang Lidong doesn't want to owe Qiao's family favors, it's okay to owe others, Qiao Chunyan's family's favors are too expensive
Speaking of Qiao Chunyan, now she is trembling again. Half a year after being dismissed from the newspaper, she somehow found a relationship and became a reporter of Jichun TV Station.

Qiao Chunyan suddenly became the focus of the optical film, and the neighbors discussed how this little sun turned over.

There are various theories, some say luck, some say relying on real ability, and most of them refer to the matter of men and women.

"Mom, Aunt Qiao has a serious job, how can she come to help every day."

Zhou's mother did not give up, and proposed to find a babysitter in the optical film. Anyone who has given birth will take care of the child. It costs 20 yuan a month, and there are many people rushing to do it.

"Mom, it's best not to invite acquaintances or relatives to hire a nanny. If they don't do a good job, should you fire them or keep them?

Keep it, worry!

Let's quit, you're so stiff!

In the end, the inside and outside are not human! "

Mother Zhou glanced at him, stood up and walked to the kitchen, Wang Lidong shouted, "Mom, then this is settled!"

"You've already made up your mind, come and ask me!" Mother Zhou suddenly remembered something, turned around, returned to the sofa, and took out a letter from her pocket, "Read it to Mom."

"Whose letter?" Wang Lidong took it, and looking at the handwriting, it turned out to be Zhou's father's letter.He opened the letter, and there were two pieces of paper. At the beginning, he blamed him for concealing Fu Lili's pregnancy. He didn't even tell him about such a big thing. He was notified until the child was born.

Ask him if he is the father in his eyes?

Mother Zhou glared at her youngest son. She remembered clearly that when Lili was pregnant, she told her youngest son to write a letter to the family to announce the good news.

Wang Lidong said perfunctorily, "I forgot for a while. Mom, don't interrupt."

Mother Zhou snorted.

Wang Lidong continued to read the letter, "Bingyi and Bingkun come down, they are the Zhongzi generation. I have thought about the names of the three children. They will be called Zhou Zhongdong, Zhou Zhongfang, and Zhou Zhonghong."

What the hell is this.

If you really want to use such an old-fashioned name, when the child grows up in the future, you can't blame him to death.

"It's too ugly. Also, why don't I know that our family still has seniority."

Zhou's mother expressed her opinion, "Sounds very grand, and you didn't find out, the last word of the third child, when you read it together, it's so good!"

"It's so old, it's not popular anymore." His son, he decides, "Don't bother my dad about the name. Back then, he kicked me out of the Zhou family in front of everyone. It’s a shame to name the child, cheeky.”

"You child, how do you talk? Your father is the grandfather of the third child. It is only natural for the grandfather to name his grandson."

"Since he kicked me out of the house, he has no such right."

Zhou's mother wanted to persuade her, but the eldest grandson suddenly burst into tears, and then the second and third children followed suit. Zhou's mother checked quickly, and she must be hungry. She checked the time, and it was almost six o'clock. "Why hasn't Lili come back?"

"It's the end of the month, and I'm busy making accounts and reports. I'm going to make some milk powder." Wang Lidong went to the kitchen and used warm water to make three bottles of milk powder. Even if the daughter-in-law came back, I still had to make milk powder. pack of wolves.

"Kun'er, is the milk powder ready?"

"Here we come." Wang Lidong came to the living room with three feeding bottles and stuffed them into the mouths of the three little ones. The world was instantly quiet.

At night, after putting the three little Doudings to sleep, Wang Lidong and his wife talked about Zhou's father naming the child, "The child's name must be determined as soon as possible."

Half a year ago, the two of them started to think about the names, and they made a list of at least a hundred names, but now it's full moon, and they haven't decided yet.

Suddenly seeing his daughter-in-law hesitate to speak, "What good name did you think of?"

"I'll tell you, don't be angry."

Wang Lidong turned sideways, "Speak."

"Bingkun, my grandparents gave birth to a son, that is, my father, and my parents only gave birth to me. Can you let the third child have my last name?"

Hehe, the old man usually acts very free and easy, and he also scoffs at the concept of passing on the family line, it turns out that it is all pretending.

Seeing that Wang Lidong didn't speak for a long time, Fu Lili thought he disagreed, "Just pretend I didn't say anything."

He put his arms around his wife and said, "No, I'm thinking whether to let the third child have your surname or the second child."

"do you agree?"

"If the child takes your surname, isn't it my son?"

Fu Lili hugged him tightly, "Husband"

"Wow wow wow" suddenly burst into loud cries, a trio sounded in the room after a while, Wang Lidong gritted his teeth
Payday at the lumber mill.

Wang Lidong had nothing to do, so he followed the two boys to the financial office.

Seeing him, Xiao Wang joked, "Hey, why did Mr. Wang come to collect his salary in person today?"

Wang Lidong threw a peony to Xiao Wang, took the salary slip, looked at the last column, and found that the actual salary was 42 yuan, just bare salary.

Catch up behind him took a look, and couldn't help cursing. Two years ago, in their furniture workshop, the monthly bonus and subsidy were as low as seven or eight yuan, and as much as fourteen or five yuan.

Since the replacement of the factory manager three years ago, the salary has gone from bad to worse. Last year, there was a food subsidy. Although it was only 2.1 yuan, the mosquito legs were also meat.

The three of them received their wages and left the accounting room cursing.

"The hard earned money in our furniture workshop has been lost by their activated carbon!"

"Sun Wugui, you bastard!"

Sun Wugui, everyone's nickname for the current factory manager. His real name is Sun Qisheng. He is a middle-aged man in his 40s. He wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses. He is just over 1.5 meters tall. He is still a hunchback. He likes to walk around with his hands behind his back. Strolling, looking from a distance, it looks like a big turtle parading the streets
Before Sun Qisheng transferred, the wood factory was preparing to expand the "furniture workshop" and start the "combined furniture" project.This idea was provided by Wang Lidong.

It's a pity that all the equipment is in place, and the preparations are done. Suddenly, a transfer order, the factory director was promoted to a higher level, and went to a large furniture factory as the factory director.

The first thing the new factory manager did when he took office was to reject the project of "combined furniture", and then personally introduced a new project, "production of activated carbon."

With an investment of more than 30 yuan, a "sintered activated carbon production workshop" was built, which was completed and put into operation in 1975, with an annual production capacity of 50 tons.

In the first year, he exported 20 tons of activated carbon, which was exchanged for golden US dollars. Sun Wugui received the award from above.

The limelight is always there.

But in the first half of the second year, 30 tons were exported, but 28 tons were returned, because the technical level and product quality were not up to standard.

It can only be exported to domestic sales, but this thing is currently of little use in the world, and it is concentrated in the sugar, pharmaceutical and monosodium glutamate industries. These manufacturers have fixed purchase channels.

After more than a year, there is a backlog of hundreds of tons of defective carbon in the warehouse.The entire Hongxing Timber Factory earns a year, which is basically subsidized.

When he returned to the workshop, he found that most of the employees were doing foreign work. He sighed and felt that if this continues, sooner or later, his factory will be the same as the soy sauce factory next door, and will not be able to pay wages.

Guoqing felt that catching up was a bit unfounded, and it was useless for them to think more about whether the factory was losing money or not, and it was not their decision.

The three of them were chatting one after another, and they waited until it was time for lunch.Suddenly there was a loud roar from outside the door, "The college entrance examination has resumed!"

"The college entrance examination has resumed!"

I was surprised to catch up with the National Day, but I didn't expect to really recover.

In the past few years, Wang Lidong has been nagging in the ears of the two of them that the college entrance examination will be resumed, and if the two of them want to go to university, they should hurry up and study.

At the beginning, the two were still very interested. They dug out their previous junior high school textbooks, asked their neighbors and friends, and put together a set of high school textbooks.

But within a few days of learning, I started fishing for two days and drying the net for three days. After I fell in love, I left it behind. After I had a child, I didn’t know where to throw the textbooks.

"Take an exam in 2 months?" National Day caught up and looked at each other, no way.

"Bingkun, are you going to participate?"

"Nonsense, I have been preparing for this day for five or six years."

In December 1977, Wang Lidong took the entrance examination for higher education, without any suspense, and received the admission notice more than a month later.

The father-in-law looked at the admission notice of his son-in-law and felt sorry for it. With a score of 398, he could go to Jingda Shuimu casually, but he didn't fill out the application form. Now he can only go to Harbin University.

As for the two top students of the Zhou family, Zhou Bingyi successfully participated in the first college entrance examination and was admitted to Peking University.However, Zhou Rong was dragged down by Feng Huacheng and failed the review.

In the second year, when the qualifications were completely released, Zhou Rong was lucky enough to be admitted to Beijing University, and became a schoolmate with Zhou Bingyi.

The two brothers of the Zhou family were admitted to universities at the same time, one was the provincial champion and the other was the Beijing University. The news caused a sensation in the entire optical film. After Zhou Rong was also admitted to the Beijing University, the front of the Zhou family's old house became a vegetable market.

Everyone gathered around the entrance of Zhou's courtyard, discussing what was so special about Zhou's old house, otherwise there would only be three college students from his family in the entire optical film.

One suddenly shouted, 'I see. '

"Say it."

"Our optical film, the Zhou family built two houses, and our optical film belongs to the only one, and the luck of our optical film is all concentrated in the Zhou family."

Hey, it seems to make sense.

After discussion and discussion, this statement is the most reasonable.

A lot of people came up with the idea of ​​Zhou's house, and it just so happens that no one lives in the old Zhou's house now.
One day, Wang Lidong's family was having dinner when there was a knock on the door suddenly. Auntie Zhang, the nanny, opened the door, and there was a strange young man standing outside, "Who are you looking for?"

Cai Xiaoguang smiled and said, "This is Zhou Bingkun."

"Brother Xiaoguang, please come in." Wang Lidong stood up, came to the door, and invited Cai Xiaoguang into the room. Cai Xiaoguang was a little embarrassed to see the Zhou family eating.

"Xiaoguang, have you had dinner yet?"

"I've eaten." Cai Xiaoguang greeted Zhou's mother and Fu Lili, then looked at the three little guys lying in the crib, and said enviously, "You boy, you are really lucky."

"Three kids, the noise is giving me a headache." Wang Lidong invited Cai Xiaoguang to the reception area in a corner, and served tea and cigarettes. After the two exchanged a few words, Cai Xiaoguang handed over a letter, and Wang Lidong took it and read it. , is Cai Xiaoguang's college admission letter, "Congratulations, brother Xiaoguang."

Cai Xiaoguang smiled wryly, "I was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy, but the factory wouldn't let me go, saying it was because of my dad. But I inquired, and the certificate was canceled this time *Auntie, can you do me a favor, and Tell your sister-in-law, let her tell her father."

Wang Lidong put the admission notice into the envelope, "Brother Xiaoguang, to be honest, I have a very bad relationship with my elder brother, my sister-in-law."

Cai Xiaoguang took two puffs of his cigarette, "Your sister mentioned something to me, I thought you and your father had a falling out." He put the cigarette pg in the ashtray, took the envelope and stood up and said, "I'll Think of a way' and prepare to leave.

Wang Lidong grabbed Cai Xiaoguang, "Don't worry, brother Xiaoguang, I haven't finished yet."

After Cai Xiaoguang sat down again, Wang Lidong asked, "Is your tractor factory owned by the city or managed by the province?"

"What's wrong in the city?"

"That's easy. My father-in-law has a student working in Jichun Zhengfu."

"Are you talking?"

"Third in command!"
