The Nine Zero Jiaojiao girl found the fiercest rough guy in the whole village

Chapter 18 Problems in the Garment Factory
"Old Wei, why did you come back now?"

In the middle of the night, just as Shui Weishan stepped into the room, Ye Meiying's voice sounded in the darkness: "I almost went to the factory to find you."

"What time is it and you still not asleep!"

Shui Weishan took a closer look, and under the moonlight outside the window, he saw his wife groping to get out of bed and pull the light cord.

The light flickered twice, and a dim yellow light bulb illuminated the room.

"I don't know when you will come back, can I sleep?"

"Hey! It's not the first time I've been busy until midnight."

Shui Weishan walked a few steps quickly, stretched out his hand to help his wife back to bed: "You are not in good health, don't stay up late, go to bed quickly."

Ye Meiying didn't let go of his hand, and took out half a bowl of egg custard from the tightly covered rice basket at the side.

"Old Wei, this is my daughter's honor to you, eat it quickly."

Shui Weishan froze: "Your daughter left it for me?"

"Of course, it's not like you don't know that our daughter is filial."

Ye Meiying never let go of any opportunity to praise her daughter: "The daughter I gave birth to is beautiful and filial, much better than those who have sons!"

Not to mention anything else, the two boys in Tian Guifeng's family, every time they have something delicious, they can't wait to finish it in one bite, will they know how to give their parents a taste?
There are also neighbors around here, which family's son doesn't take care of his own food first?
Don't look at her seldom going out, she is very clear about the surrounding situation.

Shui Weishan held the egg custard that was still warm, his eyes were flushed, obviously agreeing with his wife's words.

"Old Wei, our daughter is so filial, we must always protect her, don't let her be bullied."

……

Shui Huaizhu was blushing outside the door.

Mom probably forgot that she also had her share of the egg custard left for Dad... In the end, it was all due to her.

She hadn't fallen asleep yet, and when she heard footsteps, she knew it was Shui Weishan who had returned, and wanted to get up to say hello, but she didn't expect to hear such shameful words.

"Huaizhu has no other brothers and sisters, and can only rely on us two old guys."

Ye Meiying muttered a few words, then suddenly lowered her voice: "Old Wei, the factory really can't survive..."

In the dead of night, even though Ye Meiying deliberately lowered her voice, Shui Huaizhu still heard these hesitant words.

Originally wanting to go back to the room quietly, she paused, then leaned her ear against the door panel.

Is there something wrong with the garment factory?
"The situation is not good."

Shui Weishan sighed from the room, "The payment for the last batch of goods has been delayed in the market, and a lot of goods have been backlogged in the factory. If this continues, the wages will almost not be paid."

After speaking, he sighed heavily again.

Even if Shui Huaizhu hadn't seen it, he could guess Shui Weishan's sad look while sighing and wiping his face at this moment.

"Oh, why is this?"

Ye Meiying also sighed, "A few years ago, the profit of the factory was still good, but now it is not as good as every year...Old Wei, why is the city not willing to settle the money? We didn't ask for more, we should give They still have to give it."

"The garment factories in the city have no money."

Shui Weishan was probably talking excitedly, and raised his volume a little, "In the current environment, everyone has no money, and the leaders of every place are dying. It depends on who can't hold on first and falls first."

"Many people in our town rely on the Chunhua Garment Factory for their livelihoods. If they can't support it, many families will cry."

……

The couple in the room sighed one after the other, and Shui Huaizhu had quietly returned to her room.

The outlook for garment factories is poor.

If she remembers correctly, 1995 will be the beginning of the wave of layoffs across the country. Except for the state-owned enterprises and factories that are the mainstay of the front line, they will not be affected, and the other cities will basically be wiped out.

Many workers were forced to lay off, or stay without pay, or receive a subsidy to buy out their seniority.

No other city can escape this fate, let alone a small place like Gaopo Town.

It will only become the first unlucky target of the tragedy of the times.

Remembering that Ye Meiying was still worried about the families of other people in the town, Shui Huaizhu pursed her lips.

She didn't know about the others, but my father was the factory manager. If the garment factory closed down, the people in the town would only blame him, blame him, and put all the responsibility on him.

She clenched her fists in the dark.
-
"Dad, good morning."

In the early morning, Shui Huaizhu walked into the kitchen and saw Shui Weishan busy making breakfast without any surprise, and she greeted her crisply.

"Huaizhu, you woke up so early?"

Shui Weishan raised his head and looked at her in surprise, "It's only before seven o'clock, go back to your room and get some sleep."

"not sleepy."

Shui Huaizhu shook her head, then changed her voice, "Dad, I can go back to work in the factory today."

That's right, she is also a worker at Chunhua Garment Factory.

Moreover, she did not rely on Shui Weishan's relationship to become a factory employee, but relied entirely on her own efforts.

After she graduated from university, the state assigned her a job, but her parents were reluctant to leave her in a poor area far away from her home. Shui Huaizhu simply chose to transfer her household registration and files back to her place of origin in the year she graduated.

Originally, she could go to work in a unit in the city, but she also wanted to stay with her parents in private, so she applied to be transferred to Chunhua Garment Factory and took up the post of personnel.

In other words, her daily task is to check whether the workers are lazy, and to keep the attendance records of the factory workers.

"today?"

Shui Weishan frowned, fearing that his daughter fell into the water was still in his heart: "Huaizhu, you can rest at home for a few more days."

"No," Shui Huaizhu stuck out her tongue playfully, "Dad, I'm afraid to lie down at home again, I'm too lazy to go to work."

"If you don't want to go to work, you won't go to work."

Shui Weishan answered the words without thinking: "It's not that Dad can't afford you, you want Dad to be happy to support you for the rest of your life."

Of course she knows that her parents are willing to support her for the rest of her life, in other words, she is also willing to support her parents for a lifetime.

Knowing that the garment factory is in trouble, she doesn't want to just watch her parents run out of fatigue and finally fall into a desperate situation, and be blamed and reviled by the whole town.

"Dad, I'll serve porridge to Mom."

Ye Meiying was not very happy when she knew that her daughter was going back to work in the factory today.

"There is no shortage of you working alone in the factory. Why are you a few days late?"

"I also want to make more money, so I can take you and Dad to eat and drink."

"My daughter is so nice..."

Shui Huaizhu hurriedly stopped her from continuing: "Mom, I'm leaving, goodbye!"

"Hey! Huaizhu, don't run too fast."

Ye Meiying waved from behind: "Come here first, Mom will bring you some snacks to eat."

"no need."

Shui Huaizhu had already run to the yard, turned her head and waved to the balcony on the second floor: "Mom, go back to the house."
-
Relying on memory, Shui Huaizhu walked against the wind on the road to the garment factory.

When meeting people in the town along the way, everyone looked back at her a few more times.

Shui Huaizhu originally had red lips and white teeth, her eyes were watery and big, and her fair little face showed a faint luster, not to mention how energetic she was.

She calmly responded to the gazes of passers-by, and by the way looked around the town with nothing to do, but turned around and saw Qin Ao.
