Chapter 755 A visitor (qie)
After the gathering of friends, the Lantern Festival is over again. Even if the atmosphere of the New Year in the 70s is very strong, the Spring Festival is completely over.

Zhou Bingkun is still the same as before, going to work in the wood processing factory every day.

Because of the planned economy, the benefits of wood processing plants are not much different from before.

But in the factory, as the old people retire and newcomers enter the factory, more and more people need to be supported.

Salaries, retirement, medical care, benefits, and factory expenses are increasing.

The total income of the factory has not increased significantly, and the expenses are getting bigger and bigger.

If you want to solve economic problems, you can only increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

The customers of the wood processing factory are very fixed, and there is no problem of open source, so they can only choose to reduce expenditure.

Employee wages and medical expenses are related to survival and cannot be saved.

It can only reduce the expenditure in other aspects. Under the consideration of the factory leaders, they cut down the expenditure on production equipment.

All kinds of machinery and equipment, lines, can make do with it.

The equipment is old and the lines are aging, so although Zhou Bingkun's skills are much higher than before, his work is now busier than before.

A lot of work has been done, and there is no reward.

Because the factory has no money, it has no ability to upgrade the technical level of the workers and raise their wages.

After Zhou Bingkun became a second-level electrician with a monthly salary of 38 yuan, he never had a salary increase.

This salary is enough for two couples to bring one or two children, and a family of three or four people to live.

For Zhou Bingkun, who has a system check-in and a small world to supplement, it is good that such a salary is enough to live.

But for some families, there are old and young families.

First-level workers and second-level workers earn more than 30 yuan a month. This money will become very tight, and they need to be calculated and spent.

In April, on a very ordinary day, Zhou Bingkun had just parked his bicycle in the yard when he heard Li Suhua shout:
"Bingkun, there's a visitor at home."

This is when Li Suhua heard the sound of Zhou Bingkun's bicycle coming back, and called Zhou Bingkun, the only man in the old Zhou family, to entertain guests.

"This is…"

After Zhou Bingkun entered the house, what he saw was a strange middle-aged man who had never been to Zhou's house.

"This is from the magazine, and I'm looking for your brother-in-law." Li Suhua introduced.

A stranger in a Chinese tunic suit stretched out his hand and introduced himself: "Hi, I'm Jiangliao Publishing House, from Golden Land Magazine. My name is Shao Jingwen."

Zhou Bingkun reached out his hand to shake Shao Jingwen's hand: "Hi, hello, I'm Zhou Bingkun, from Hongxing Wood Processing Factory."

"I came here today to find Mr. Feng Huacheng, and to make an appointment with him for a manuscript."

"Bingkun, during the Chinese New Year period, Teacher Shao has already been at home, and I have already told your father about asking your brother-in-law for a draft." Li Suhua added beside him.

"Isn't it just to ask for a manuscript? I'll give you Feng Huacheng's address, so you can write to him directly to make an appointment."

Shao Jingwen is a good person and a qualified literati, but Zhou Bingkun doesn't think it is necessary for the two to have more contact.

Talking or writing nonsense will cause trouble, so Shao Jingwen and Feng Huacheng should be in direct contact.

After speaking, Zhou Bingkun found a pen and paper, and wrote Feng Huacheng's address in Guizhou to Shao Jingwen.

After receiving the address, Shao Jingwen still looked embarrassed: "Mr. Feng Huacheng is a famous poet. I'm afraid he won't like our local magazine, so I want you..."

"I understand, I understand. In fact, we don't need our help to say good things. When you write a letter, tell him that this is what my dad has promised you, and he has appointed you to contribute. You don't know, my dad Get along well with Feng Huacheng, he must give my dad this face."

Shao Jingwen ran to Zhou's house every time, hoping to use Feng Huacheng's relationship with Zhou's son-in-law to get Feng Huacheng to write articles for Golden Land Magazine.

"Yes, my son-in-law is fine, and he has a good relationship with my child's father. Our old man regards him as his own son." Li Suhua also chimed in.

Li Suhua has always been very enthusiastic towards Shao Jingwen, just because Shao Jingwen, a literati, came to his home, made Li Suhua feel more face.

"Okay, then I'll go first, and when Teacher Feng comes back, I'll come and visit at home."

"Let's go after dinner." Li Suhua said politely.

"Don't eat, I still have something to do when I go back."

"Then go slowly. When Feng Huacheng comes back, I'll ask him to find you at the magazine office."

"No, no, I'll come to visit at home." Shao Jingwen said sincerely, it can be seen that Feng Huacheng really has a bit of status in the cultural world.

After sending Shao Jingwen away, Li Suhua said proudly: "Bingkun, don't you say that your brother-in-law is a useless old man now. Without your brother-in-law, how could someone like Teacher Shao come to our house."

"It's too early to say whether Feng Huacheng is useful or not. If Feng Huacheng wants to prove his usefulness, at least he has to wait until the manuscript he submitted can be published in a magazine. Now the editor-in-chief Shao is coming to our house. We are very happy to wait for Feng Huacheng." If the submitted poems are not well written, the editor-in-chief will not come to the house again."

Zhou Bingkun didn't know, he had never seen this son-in-law Li Suhua, so why did he have such a good impression of Feng Huacheng.

"Zhou Bingkun, why are you like this every time? You can't make me happy for a while." Li Suhua said unwillingly.

"Bingkun, stop talking. You gave Mr. Shao your brother-in-law's address, and this matter has nothing to do with us." Zheng Juan said beside her.

"Okay, I won't talk."

Li Suhua's excitement had already been swept away by Zhou Bingkun, so Zhou Bingkun stopped talking.

"You don't want to talk anymore, you have finished everything, so you don't want to say anything." Li Suhua said relentlessly.

"I really haven't finished. I said this to prevent you from going out and being blind. What I'm afraid of is that you will blow up all the cows that your son-in-law can make in magazines outside. By then, your son-in-law's poems will not be written. How do you face your neighbors when you appear in a magazine."

Li Suhua was about to be slapped in the face, Zhou Bingkun was also embarrassed to follow.

"Zhou Bingkun, you are a little sour when you say this."

"What's so sour about it? If I want to be published in newspapers or magazines, I can get in within minutes."

Zhou Bingkun said disdainfully that although he has no creative ability, he still remembers a few outstanding poems and articles that have not been published.

It's just that these poems and articles are not my own creations. I can't make much money by publishing short poems and articles. Zhou Bingkun can't remember the long ones, so he has never been interested in literature.

"Okay, mom believes what you said, okay?" Li Suhua comforted Zhou Bingkun.

Zhou Bingkun explained, but it was useless, now Li Suhua is sure that Zhou Bingkun is bitter.

At this time, Li Suhua took out the photo of Zhou Rong's family, which was sent back with Zhou Rong's letter to her family not long ago: "Look, your sister's children are all this old. Me, I really miss your sister."

After Zhou Rong's photo was sent back, Li Suhua almost never left the photo.

"What's the use of thinking about it? Doesn't she miss you? If she wants to miss you, she should come back and have a look."

As the three members of the old Zhou family who went out, it is best to ask Zhou Rong on family leave. She has not come back for so many years. It can only be said that she really does not want to go home.

Like the sister on National Day, the daughter who is really homesick, has been back to the city for several months.

With the continuous changes in policies, a small number of educated youths have returned to the city first.

The national day sister still has no way out. The "naked return" came back, unlike the educated youths before, whether to go to university, join the army, or take over the family's work, all have been arranged.

"Excuse me, is this Zhou Bingkun's house?"

At this time, a strange shout came from outside.

"Bingkun, there's another visitor at home." Zheng Juan said.

"I'm Zhou Bingkun." After Zhou Bingkun opened the door, he saw a strange man holding a child, and he responded.

"I am Guo Cheng, and my master is Zhou Zhigang."

"You are Guo Cheng who has been writing letters for my dad, come in quickly."

Zhou Bingkun said enthusiastically, it must be enthusiastic.

The relationship between master and apprentice in this era is still very close. Even if the relationship between Zhou Bingkun and Zhou Zhigang is not good, it is not good to neglect Guo Cheng, otherwise it will make outsiders laugh.

And although what Guo Cheng brought back was not good news, Guo Cheng was a good person.

"This is Yueyue." Guo Cheng gestured to the child in his hand and said.

"You are welcome, and Yueyue is welcome, let's go into the room, drink some tea, and rest a little longer." Zhou Bingkun turned his head and looked at Zheng Juan, "Juan'er, my dad's apprentice is here, hurry up and make some tea. Good tea."

Then Zhou Bingkun directly asked Guo Cheng to sit in the back room: "Mother, Bingkun, this child is Feng Yue, Yue Yue, the daughter of Teacher Zhou Rong."

Hearing what Guo Cheng said, Li Suhua picked up the photo of Zhou Rong's house in his hand and compared it. After confirming it, he became anxious: "It's really Yueyue, what's going on?"

"Mom, don't be in a hurry, let Guo Cheng sit down and talk slowly. Let the child down, too. Holding such a big child all the time is quite tiring."

The daughter of Zhou Rong's family is also two years old and almost three years old, and she is one year older than the daughter of Zhou Bingkun's family.Guo Cheng has been holding this child at least since the train station, and he can persist, thanks to working on the construction site all the time and exercising it.

"Okay, thank you." First thanked Zheng Juan for the tea, and then continued: "This is the case. I was transferred to work in Guizhou the year before last. It just so happens that the construction site is not far from Teacher Zhou Rong's home. I I often come to the door to ask Teacher Feng Huacheng for advice, and I can be regarded as a half-lovers of literature."

Guo Cheng first explained why he came to Guizhou and how he met Zhou Rong, then took a sip of tea.

Guo Cheng could only continue to hold the child if he did not let go of the child in a strange place.

Li Suhua urged: "Where is Zhou Rong?"

"Mom, don't be so anxious, Guo Cheng came all the way, and he didn't even drink a sip of water."

Zhou Bingkun could tell that Guo Cheng was really thirsty, but he was also very nervous when Li Suhua forced him to question him.

"Ms. Zhou Rong, I originally planned to come back during the Spring Festival. I bought all the tickets, but I didn't squeeze into the car. It is really difficult to squeeze in with a child. When I went home during the Spring Festival, I jumped from the window into the car. of."

The activity of jumping out of the window to squeeze the train has lasted for many years, until the 21st century, when the green leather train was eliminated.

Seeing that Li Suhua was about to interject again, Zhou Bingkun spoke first, lest Guo Cheng would be too nervous to be questioned by Li Suhua, and the sweat was about to roll down: "Mom, don't worry, you can also drink some tea, Juaner, get some peach cakes , Cakes, preserved fruits, and dried fruits come out, let Guo Cheng and the children eat some first."

After eating a piece of preserved fruit, Guo Cheng and the child calmed down a little, and Guo Cheng continued: "The unit arranged for me to take a vacation after the new year, so I discussed with Mr. Zhou Rong to come back together. The three of us will come back together, and we can have a good relationship with each other." But, just before departure, Teacher Feng’s unit has an urgent matter, and they have to deal with it. Let me bring the child back first.”

"Crack." Zhou Bingkun clapped his hands to attract Li Suhua's attention, and also to praise and encourage Guo Cheng. It's really not easy for a person who can't lie to make up this story: "Troubleshoot, Guo Cheng, a It’s not easy for a person to take such a big child on a train for thousands of kilometers. Juan’er, make some hard dishes, and I must have a drink with Guo Cheng today.”

"No, where is Zhou Rong?" Li Suhua was still talking about Zhou Rong.

"Mom, didn't Guo Cheng tell you everything? Feng Huacheng's work unit had an urgent matter, and she followed Feng Huacheng to deal with it. Zhou Rong couldn't come back by herself, but she sent her own daughter to see you on her behalf."

"Bingkun, I really can't drink anymore, I have to hurry and catch the train." Guo Cheng said anxiously.It may be true to catch a train, but it is also true to lie about guilt.

"Then I'll see you off." Zhou Bingkun also understood Guo Cheng's feeling that he didn't want to stay longer.

"I really need to give it away. It's not convenient for me to hold the child. The things that Teacher Zhou Rong brought home are still stored at the train station."

"Mom, you take the child, you can't let Guo Cheng take the child away again."

"Come here, grandma, give me a hug. Bingkun, look at the ready-made food at home, and bring some to Guo Cheng."

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Zhou Bingkun responded.

I found a net bag, kraft paper, and brought hot steamed buns, canned meat, and salted duck eggs to Guo Cheng, enough for a meal in the car.

With Zhou Bingkun's cooperation, Guo Cheng performed well today, and he managed to fool Li Suhua.

Guo Cheng was sent to the train station by bicycle. On the way to the station, Guo Cheng also told Zhou Bingkun about Feng Huacheng's accident.

When a small car was parked, Feng Huacheng recited a poem he wrote in memory of Zhou, which caused a riot at the station. Feng Huacheng was arrested as the instigator.

"Bingkun, don't send it away. This is the poem written by Mr. Feng Huacheng. You can keep it as a souvenir." Before leaving, Guo Cheng took this piece of paper with Zhou's address and Feng Huacheng's poem on it. , to Zhou Bingkun.

"Then I won't see you off. When the house is free and you are free, come and play at home."

After they separated, Zhou Bingkun tore up the paper on which Feng Huacheng's poems were written and threw it into the trash can.

There was no need to stay, and I returned to the old Zhou's house with the apples, pastries, eggs, and some children's clothes and luggage that Zhou Rong brought home.

"Whoa whoa whoa (whoa whoa.)"

Before entering the house, Zhou Bingkun heard the crying of the child, and it was still a duet, one after another.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Bingkun asked Zheng Juan who was coaxing the child.
