That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 908 Director Li is a good person

The controversy over the suspension of housing allocation in a branch factory did not end with the assurances of Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang. After work the next day, all kinds of rumors began to circulate among the workers.

Zhang Jing excitedly said to Ge Qian: "You know! Last night, several people at the main factory were beaten up."

"Oh~"

"And there's more! This morning, the front doors of two houses were smeared with rice field, and a bunch of people were standing there watching!"

"Oh~"

Seeing her best friend answering her absentmindedly, Zhang Jing became unhappy: "What are you talking about? Aren't you curious at all? Who is venting his anger on behalf of us workers?"

Seeing that her best friend was unhappy, Ge Qian had no choice but to stop what she was doing and said perfunctorily, "Oh, then tell me who did it?"

Zhang Jing narrowed her eyes and said slyly, "How would I know? It's dark and I can't see clearly. I'll just put a sack on him and beat him up. It's so fucking satisfying."

"You mean you don't know?"

When Ge Qian saw Zhang Jing's expression, she knew that she actually knew.

When it comes to something like being put in a sack, the person involved would definitely be too embarrassed to say anything, so how did you know about this?

Ge Qian sighed and said seriously: "Xiao Jing, don't discuss this matter with others. This is not a trivial matter and the consequences are very serious."

Zhang Jing glared and said rudely, "What does it have to do with me? I didn't hit anyone or break their windows. You are just a coward. You keep talking about consequences all day long. It's boring."

"."

Ge Qian was stunned for a moment, and finally couldn't help but said: "But. If you guys make such a fuss, it might bring trouble to Deputy Director Li. The workers made so many troubles in the past few years. The higher-ups hate this kind of gathering to make trouble the most. What if Deputy Director Li is transferred away?"

"Deputy Director Li will not be transferred," Zhang Jing interrupted her bestie and vowed, "We all support Deputy Director Li. If the higher-ups want to punish him, more than 3,000 of us will go and petition."

"."

Looking at her best friend who exuded an aura of justice, Ge Qian finally stopped talking and lowered her head to continue with the work in her hands.

Although she and Zhang Jing are of similar age, their life experiences are completely different.

Zhang Jing is a typical beautiful girl. Although her family is not wealthy, her parents and brothers and sisters all treat her like a treasure. She grew up happily and has basically never experienced what setbacks are.

Ge Qian is just the opposite. She lost her father and mother at a young age and grew up relying on her sister. Her sense of happiness is not a bit worse than Zhang Jing's.

Therefore, Ge Qian's understanding of this society is more than one level higher than Zhang Li's.

For example, what Zhang Li said, "The masses support Deputy Director Li," does not seem to have much effect in Ge Qian's eyes.

When the masses are excited, they have great energy. For example, yesterday everyone went to the main factory office building together and scared everyone.

But the enthusiasm of these workers is short-lived. Once the enthusiasm is over, they are divided and coerced, suppressed and forced by their bosses, and held back by their families, and in the end they are still a group of scattered sand.

The first time you went to petition your boss, he told you to go back and wait for news.
The second time you go to the boss to put pressure on him, he will first pay some people, and then fire the few who are under the greatest family pressure.

By the third time, it is estimated that only one-fifth of the people will go. They will make a great effort at the first time, but will decline after the second and eventually fail. Nothing will be accomplished.

When it was almost time for lunch, new news came.

"Did you know? Someone from the technical inspection department went to our newly built staff building for inspection this morning. Director Lu and Director Li really did what they said and didn't delay anything."

"May the Buddha bless me and the Bodhisattva show his power. I hope there won't be any problems with the test! I'm looking forward to getting married in the new house!"

"Hey, what are you talking about? How could there be anything wrong with that building? The problem is with the people, the bad people. What's the point of praying to the gods?"

"."

Ge Qian was doing her work silently and began to pray in her heart.

[Deputy Director Li is a good person. I hope he really has a good background and will not be transferred away! ]

Although Ge Qian knew that the new building in the factory had nothing to do with her, she still sincerely hoped that Li Ye could "hold on" and not be transferred or demoted to a marginal department.

Apart from other things, Ge Qian can get 145 yuan a month now. If Li Ye is transferred, she thinks she will be transferred down. After all, many old masters who have worked in the main factory for more than ten years can't even get 145 yuan a month!
When it comes to salary levels, some leaders have an extremely strong sense of fairness and will never allow any unfairness to exist.

"Ling ring ring~"

The bell for the end of get off work at noon rang, but Ge Qian was still leisurely lagging behind, and it took her ten minutes to get to the cafeteria.

The workers ate very quickly. Most of them had finished in ten minutes. There was no crowding and it was quiet, which was exactly what Ge Qian wanted.

But when she arrived at the cafeteria entrance, she found two small figures, a boy and a girl, squatting timidly in a corner far away, looking at her eagerly.

Ge Qian was stunned for a moment, then hurried over and asked, "Xiaohong, why are you two here? What happened?"

The girl named Xiaohong said tearfully, "Aunt, no one was home at noon today, and Xiaokai was very hungry, so we came here to find him."

Ge Qian asked in surprise: "No one is home? Didn't Jiang Chunyan go home to cook for you?"

Xiaohong shook her head aggrievedly: "No, you didn't cook for us this morning, otherwise, we wouldn't have come to see you."

"You didn't eat breakfast?"

Ge Qian quickly dragged the two children to the cafeteria, complaining as she walked: "If I don't cook for you, don't you know to buy food for your brother? The ten yuan I gave you last time was spent so quickly?"

Xiaohong burst into tears: "Last night my stepmother went through my schoolbag and took away the money. She also left us hungry."

"Didn't you eat last night?"

Ge Qian's tears also flowed.

The two children had been hungry for three meals and came to their aunt because they were really hungry.

"Don't cry, you are the eldest sister, if you cry, what will happen to your brother?"

Ge Qian wiped away her tears with her hands, took out a handkerchief to wipe the child's face, then borrowed a bowl from the chef in the cafeteria and prepared three servings of meat dishes for her two nephews and niece.

Seeing the two half-grown children wolfing down the food, Ge Qian felt extremely upset.

After their parents passed away, Ge Qian and her sister were left to depend on each other. Fortunately, Ge Qian's sister took over their father's job and married with her sister. She supported her until she finished high school and became an unemployed young person. Even though it was difficult to find a job in the first few years, her sister did not lack Ge Qian for food and clothing.

Although life is not so smooth, my sister is very optimistic. In her words, "The sufferings of life are limited, and everything will get better."

But until her sister passed away, Ge Qian still hadn't found a job opportunity.

During those years, she stayed at her brother-in-law's house, and deeply experienced what it meant to be lonely and helpless, and also saw through the countless darkness and malice in the world.

Later, her brother-in-law married another woman, and Ge Qian began to endure double malice. If it had not been for the subsequent recruitment of workers, Ge Qian would have worked hard to get into a branch factory and lived in the factory's single dormitory. She didn't know whether she could have survived.

But Ge Qian really couldn't understand why the double malice did not disappear after she left, but instead entangled the two children left by her sister.

Stepmother Jiang Chunyan brought a daughter over and was partial to her, beating, scolding and starving her at every turn, but Xiaohong and Xiaokai's biological father Liao Minjie remained indifferent.

Ge Qian quarreled with them several times, and each time she said, "If you want to control it, just do it and take the two children away." But Ge Qian was a virgin and had no house, so how could she live with two children?

After the two children had eaten their fill, Ge Qian took out another ten yuan and handed it to her niece Liao Xiaohong: "Hide this money under your shoe insole. If there is no food at home, eat out. Don't be stingy with money. When you have spent it all, come back to your aunt for more."

But Liao Xiaohong shook her head and said, "No, auntie, both of our insoles were turned over yesterday. But my dad will only be angry for a day or two. We can go back and admit our mistake and everything will be fine."

Nephew Liao Xiaokai also nodded repeatedly: "It's okay, aunt, my dad wouldn't dare to starve us to death."

"."

Seeing the two children hurriedly leaving, Ge Qian really couldn't help it.

She saw the shadow of her sister in Liao Xiaohong.

When their parents died, the two sisters also lowered themselves three inches lower when they met everyone and carefully admitted their mistakes to everyone they met.

But didn’t the elder sister, who was still a young girl, manage to bring her younger sister through it all?
Ge Qian wiped her nose and turned to walk towards the office of the first branch.
