Era: Life's Big Winner

Chapter 62 Liu Yunchang is worried and depressed

Behind the door.

Liu Hongchang pulled his hand back and sniffed, smelling a faint scent of a young girl.

He Wenyuan leaned against the door weakly, his face flushed. He exhaled lightly and pointed at the table: "There's water in the thermos."

"Are you not making trouble now?" Liu Hongchang glanced at her, chuckled, and went to get some water to wash his hands.

He Wenyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Liu Hongchang tenderly, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Just say whatever you want to say!" Liu Hongchang poured some hot water and said while washing his hands.

He Wenyuan pursed his lips and said shyly: "It's a little bit off. Actually, I want to..."

"Don't even think about going in and out and taking advantage of the situation. Just improve your grades first!" Liu Hongchang said unhappily.

"Wenyuan, good grades are nothing. Your sister has already said that if you can get into college, you don't have to worry about it."

He Wenyuan's eyes lit up and he asked in surprise, "Did she really say that?"

Liu Hongchang nodded with a smile.

He Wenyuan gritted his teeth, was silent for a moment, and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Brother-in-law, I want to go to college!"

"Don't want to go to the song and dance troupe anymore?" Liu Hongchang said with a smile.

He Wenyuan shook his head and said, "If I can get into university, my future will be better and I can achieve my dreams. It's worth the effort!"

"Let me give you a piece of advice. You should work hard in school. You can also ask your sister for advice after school." Liu Hongchang said with a smile.

He Wenyuan hummed, bent down to pull up his pants, and was about to tie them up when he paused and tilted his head to ask, "Do you still want to watch?"

"I've been dawdling for more than an hour. I should leave too." Liu Hongchang shook his head and said, "Pay attention to the hygiene."

He Wenyuan pursed his lips and said expectantly, "Almost there. You've passed by your house three times without entering. What are you hesitating about?"

"No, if you really get what you want, you won't know how to study hard." Liu Hongchang said with a smile.

"Also, Wenyuan, don't be so presumptuous in the future. Be more restrained, subtle, and reserved, maybe it will be better."

He Wenyuan curled his lips and said resentfully, "I am only brave around you. I behave myself at other times."

As he said this, he turned around, gently opened the door, glanced into the yard, turned back and whispered, "No one is around."

The two of them stayed in the bedroom for more than an hour, and they certainly couldn't leave in a high-profile manner, otherwise Yu Qiuhua would become suspicious.

Liu Hongchang nodded, stepped out of the door, and left quietly carrying the bicycle under the eaves.

He Wenyuan came to the window and watched him leave the yard, then went back to bed and lay down, motionless, recalling the past in silence.

No one knew what she was thinking. Her expression changed back and forth, sometimes shy, sometimes angry, sometimes blushing, and finally sneer.

……

After Liu Hongchang left Suxiang Hutong, he went directly to Qin Jingru.

Because he was smelling of He Wenyuan, he found a deserted place and took a shower.

When I arrived at the house Qin Jingru rented, I found that she was not there. Instead, she wrote a note saying that she had returned to the courtyard.

So Liu Hongchang turned around and went to take a look at the newly purchased yard. After chatting with the decorators for a while, he left.

The sun is shining brightly.

Thinking about the hot weather, Liu Hongchang took a watermelon from the space, put it in a net bag, hung it on the bicycle frame, and went home in the heat wave.

He Wenhui had already gotten up, but she still looked sleepy.

"Wenyuan said he came to see me, but I couldn't muster the energy, so I made you make the difficult trip." He Wenhui stood up to greet him, apologetically saying.

Liu Hongchang moved the car to the corner and parked it, then shook his head and said, "It's okay, I just went out to get some fresh air, it's just a little hot."

"Buying watermelons again? I just thought that Wenyuan took the watermelons away and there was nothing to eat at home." He Wenhui raised her eyebrows and smiled.

Liu Hongchang took the watermelon out of the net bag, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "I went back and talked to my mother-in-law for a few minutes. She asked me to tell her that you should go back and talk to her more often when you have time."

"Go back after ten days or half a month! I just moved here a few days ago, and I won't want to leave once I go back." He Wenhui shook her head.

Liu Hongchang nodded slightly and asked with a smile: "Where are mom and sister-in-law?"

He Wenhui chuckled and said, "The Chen couple were arguing in the backyard, so I went over to watch the fun."

"I wanted to go and take a look, but when I thought about the fact that I was pregnant and there were so many people and it was so noisy, I resisted going."

Liu Hongchang walked over to her and sat down. He took her hand and played with it, and said with a smile, "So you also like to watch the fun?"

"What do you mean I like to watch? Aren't you curious about the excitement?" He Wenhui rolled her eyes at him and continued with a smile:

"Hong Chang, I thought my sister-in-law would cause trouble for me every now and then after I moved in, but I didn't expect she was so easy to get along with."

Liu Hongchang smiled and said, "No one is perfect. Although my sister-in-law has many problems, she is reasonable. My mother can control her."

"No wonder you came back to see mom the next day after we got married." He Wenhui smiled suddenly.

Liu Hongchang chuckled and said, "What else? How much did she hate you before we got married? When she heard me say I was moving back home, her attitude changed immediately."

"Ah... I was ignorant at that time and didn't perform well. Wenyuan and Wentao were not sensible either." He Wenhui sighed.

"You have indeed sacrificed too much for us to be together. Now and for a long time in the future, my family will be a burden to you."

Liu Hongchang shook his head and said, "We are one family and don't talk about different things. Let's not mention this matter again."

As we were chatting, we saw Liu Yunchang coming back from outside, sweating and dejected.

"What's going on?" Liu Hongchang asked curiously.

Liu Yunchang gulped down a few gulps of herbal tea from the teacup, then heaved a long sigh and said, "I heard that the steel mill is going to be restructured."

"Will the reform change you?" Liu Hongchang asked doubtfully.

Liu Yunchang walked to the side and sat down, shaking his head and said, "It's hard to say. It's possible that frontline workers below level 5 can demolish it."

"Such a big move?" Liu Hongchang was a little surprised.

Liu Yunchang sighed and said, "We are currently working in a four-shift, three-shift system. In the future, we will implement a three-shift system, with at least one shift split."

Most of the production lines implement an eight-hour work system with four shifts and three operations, namely morning shift, day shift, night shift and rest shift.

There are four shifts, and each shift is actually less than eight hours. Although it is a shift system, it is not too tiring.

After one shift is dismantled, although the eight-hour work system remains, a large number of front-line workers will be laid off.

After the efforts are really intensified, it is common for a workshop with hundreds of people to be left with only dozens of people after the restructuring.

One person does the work of several people, and the workload and working hours increase greatly. It is said that this improves efficiency and releases the demographic dividend.

Of course, this kind of thing cannot be achieved overnight. It will be a process, so there will be a wave of layoffs in a dozen years.

Speaking of this, Liu Hongchang said to He Wenhui: "Wenhui, the second canteen will also be merged and restructured in the future. I am ready to go into business."

"Has a notice been issued?" He Wenhui frowned slightly.

Liu Hongchang shook his head and said, "Not yet, but Lao Yao asked me a few days ago if I wanted to be transferred to another unit and mentioned this matter."

"It will probably take three to five years for this to actually come to fruition, but after careful consideration, I plan to start my own business by the end of the year."

"Don't worry, even if I don't do anything else, I can support my family just by relying on my cooking skills."

In fact, people of this generation attach great importance to the stable job of a worker, and most people are cautious and conservative about starting a business.

Especially for self-employed people, for a long time, their status was relatively low. It was fine if they made money, but it was not easy to make money.
Hearing this, He Wenhui's brows gradually relaxed and she smiled lightly, "You make the decision on this matter. I support you no matter what."

"Haha, I feel relieved with your attitude." Liu Hongchang said with a smile.
