Rebirth 1983: Murakami's Wife Wants a Divorce

Chapter 446

Workers in the Kengkou Coal Mine work on three shifts.Except for the occasional safety production brigade, Wang Xinsi did not have close contact with the miners.

It can be seen that Liu Ye and his wife are very concerned about the workers.They take the initiative to care about the suffering of the miners, which is unreasonable for other bosses.

At this time, a miner walked in from the door and said to Liu Ye, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Liu?"

Liu Ye: "I am."

Seeing someone coming, Wang Xintian shouted, "Hong Xiaomao, what do you want?"

Hong Xiaomao ignored Wang Xintian's yelling, and said directly: "Mr. Liu has a bodhisattva heart, especially the story of helping the poor household Lu Shubiao spread far and wide. I admire it!"

Liu Ye asked lightly, "Hong Xiaomao, what do you want to say?"

"It's nothing, I just respect you very much, and I have a few words to say to you."

Hong Xiaomao didn't look at Wang Xintian's eyes at all, and ignored his existence.

He continued: "Mr. Liu, you can go to my house if you have time. You will understand a lot when you get there."

"Xiao Mao!"

Wang Xintian said sharply.

Damn, isn't this kid making trouble?

Liu Ye pressed Wang Xinsi down and signaled him to keep silent.

Said: "Okay, I'll let you take a look. It won't hinder you from going to work."

Hong Xiaomao: "I'm off work."

Liu Ye and his wife walked with Hong Xiaomao for half an hour before arriving at his home.

Calling it "home" is too far-fetched.

This is a wooden boat on the shore.Only about four or five square meters.On board was a woman with disheveled hair, holding a girl.Hong Xiaomao is the owner of this family.

Hong Xiaomao's so-called home is actually a dilapidated boat.

People like them are called "Water Gypsies" or "Dan People".Generations of people have made a living by fishing, drifting in the water all year round.

There was a pile of fishing nets on the bow.Standing on the shore, you can smell the stench on the ship.

Liu Ye was deeply regretful!

In this world, there are still people who call boats their homes.

Hong Xiaomao said: "I also want to be like a normal person and have a home of my own on the shore. Unfortunately, since the implementation of the household contract responsibility system, we Dan people have lived in the water for generations and have no land on the shore, so we only I can live in the water and make water my home. Fishing resources are dwindling, and it is difficult to support my family by fishing. I can only go to the mine to dig coal, so the salary will be higher.”

Liu Ye asked, "How many fishermen like this are there in Fenglin Town?"

Hong Xiaomao said: "I haven't carried out detailed statistics. There are probably sixty or seventy households.

Without going deep into the front line, it is difficult to appreciate such a hard life.What happened to Hong Xiaomao deeply hurt Liu Ye.

Sixty or seventy peasant households take boats as their homes.In severe weather such as typhoons, the danger is self-evident.

The bigger problem is that they cannot live like normal people.Their main source of income is fishing.With the reduction of resources, the income from fishing is also less and less.

"We are like people who have been forgotten by the society. We have also reacted to our superiors many times. They can't come up with a solution to the problem. All production teams have their own population. Allot of land to us."

Hong Xiaomao said with emotion: "Everyone who can leave has left. They have scattered to work in various places, have families and start businesses. There are fewer and fewer people who stay in the water and cling to a boat."

The ancestors of the Dan family are said to be the ancient Baiyue people who originally lived on land. Because they could not bear the oppression of the feudal dynasty and gathered the crowd, they were driven to the sea by the officers and soldiers, and they were ordered not to go ashore or intermarry with people on the shore. The Dan family lived on boats all year round. , living in the sea, like eggshells floating on the sea, so they are called Danjia; some people think that Danjia has been fighting against wind and waves at sea all year round, in a dangerous living environment, and with unique means of making a living, their lives are insecure, just like eggshells. It is fragile, so it is called Danjia.

Danjia culture has a long history.Continuing to this day, there are already more possibilities for change.Like Hong Xiaomao, he became a coal miner.

There are more Dan family children like Hong Xiaomao, relying on various means to gradually stay away from the sea and return to live on land.

Liu Ye asked: "Hong Xiaomao, you don't have a house?"

Hong Xiaomao: "Yes. All we have is that broken ship."

On the bank of the river, there are still more than a dozen such fishing boats moored.Go out to sea to fish during the day, and return to the harbor to shelter from the wind at night.

Li Cuiyu was also very worried.Many things are like this, if you don’t see it, you don’t know it, and when you see it, you will be shocked.

In the eyes of many people, the lives of Hong Xiaomao and the others have been ignored.In Liu Ye's eyes, it was a catastrophe.

Hong Xiaomao can earn ten yuan a day as a miner.300 yuan a month.But compared to such a big thing as no property, what can this little money do?More importantly, these people have no private plots, not even land to build houses.

Hong Xiaomao said: "For this matter, we don't know how many times we have petitioned. There is no way, Dan people have no ancestral property, not even an inch of land. The boat is our home."

Liu Ye said: "I know about you. It's really difficult. The neighboring villages don't want to accept you. Once they accept you, it means that their per capita arable land will decrease."

"That doesn't make it impossible for us to go ashore for generations to come."

Hong Xiaomao burst into tears.Although the Dan people live in the water for a long time.Seeing that the whole world is developing and the world on land is becoming more and more exciting, who doesn't want to go ashore?

Liu Ye: "Xiao Mao, I will report this matter to the superiors, and I will always come up with a solution. Wait for my news slowly, I will do what I say."

"Yes. Great benefactor."

Hong Xiaomao's legs gave way, and he knelt down in front of Liu Ye, weeping uncontrollably.

It seems that the stone that has been pressed in the hearts of Dan people for generations is expected to be removed.

Seeing this, Wang Xintian was embarrassed.He never knew that among his miners there were Dan people who didn't even have houses.

Sitting in the car, Liu Ye said: "Xintian, our life is better, and the company has gained some strength. We should reach out to help people who are more difficult than us. This will not only prevent us from going bankrupt, but also make our The company has a better reputation and is more likely to be recognized by society.”

Wang Xintian: "Brother Ye, today is an eye-opener for me. I didn't expect that there are such poor people around us. We don't even have a hut to live in."

Liu Ye said with a smile: "As managers, we must go deep into the grassroots and into the hearts of every employee. If we know that they are crying or have difficulties, we will do everything we can to help them. Only we treat them as our own. , they will treat us as their own.”
