Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 326 The third uncle’s plan

"Director Yang, let me make it clear, this has no other meaning."

"Xiao Zhu, please don't blame me. I know you are very busy reviewing now. In fact, just let Xiao Ma take the message. There is no need to go there yourself."

"Actually, I wanted to come over when I have time in a few days. You asked Xiao Ma to take the message today, so I thought, yes, let's come together. Anyway, I have to talk to you sooner or later."

"You really have something going on, tell me. You don't have any other ideas."

Zhu Xuefeng smiled calmly, "It's not really an idea. I have some news that I think may be useful to the steel rolling mill. I asked the two leaders to listen to it."

It turns out that not long ago, the school received instructions to clear out employees in the factories run by the school. More than a dozen factories in the Department of Physics were notified to streamline their staff. The scale was suddenly reduced from more than 300 people to about 50 people. This was the previous I heard what the factory leader said when I went to the factory to work on the novice station a few days ago.

Many of the employees of these school-run factories are demobilized soldiers and their family members in the past few years. Originally, most of them had rural household registration. At that time, they took care of their household registration and stayed in the city to join the school-run factory of the physics department. Now they are all We must return to the countryside as required and go back to strengthen our agricultural power.

"Don't we want to expand the production capacity of electric vehicles? After this streamlining, these factories in the Department of Physics will have a lot of idle equipment. Many of them can be used for the production of electric vehicles. Of course, the production of motorcycle motors can also be used. "

Factory Director Yang and Secretary Chen looked at each other. Motor matching for motorcycles and motor production for electric vehicles have always been a problem. This is really an opportunity. They just don’t know how much equipment and instruments they will have, but they will definitely be used.

"Lao Yang, should we build another electric motor production workshop ourselves, continue to entrust the Seventh Machinery Department, or should we pursue both paths at the same time? Let's hold a meeting then. We just started planning the factory area, so there's still time."

Leaving behind the leader who was bowing his head in thought, he walked around in a circle and rode straight to the No. 95 compound.

"Look at what you said, how old is Xiaodong? What is there for a second grader to review? Your eldest grandson is very smart, so you don't need to worry."

The second brother glared at the younger sister, who giggled.

There were a lot of little kids playing wildly in the yard, and there were also many people, old and young, sitting outside with small benches chatting.

"Why is this Zhuzhu brother coming here at night?" I don't understand, and I can't guess the strange figure. Come on, don't worry about it, go home first.

The majors of the steel rolling mill are not compatible with this thing. The specialized talents are basically concentrated in steel. The production of this motor is really difficult, even if it is the motor of an electric vehicle, which is less difficult.

Director Yang nodded. The two of them had discussed this issue several times but had not yet made up their minds. It was better to listen to everyone's opinions. Sooner or later, this issue would have to be solved.

"Brother, why are you back again?" The second child and younger sister are both reviewing at home and preparing for the exam.

"Oh, Uncle Liu, why don't you come back and help your younger brothers and sisters with their studies? Also, look at everyone. You have a rest."

"If you have any questions, I'll come back to review. If you don't understand anything, just ask me."

"He's back to supervise us again, brother. You come here to supervise us every now and then. Second brother and I just don't let you rest assured."

Secretary Chen also thinks so. Indeed, this contradiction has existed for a long time. The Seventh Machinery Department of the company has also been very cooperative. From the beginning, it worked hard to deliver 300 sets per month, and now it delivers 500 sets. The company has also paid a lot.

"The motors made by the Seventh Machinery Department are of good quality, very stable, and extremely reliable. The only thing is that the output has not been able to increase. When we expand our production capacity, the gap will be even greater."

"Go and do your work. Let's take a break. You really don't have to worry about your two little guys. I saw that they went home after eating and playing in the yard for a while. You, the eldest brother, took care of them. What a good start, our little boy is incompetent, he ran away after finishing his homework, he is no match for your younger brothers and sisters."

"Leader, I'll tell you the news. It's the leader's business to make the decision. I'll go back to the Materials Research Institute to review it. You two leaders, please slow down and get busy."

Now if we want to increase production capacity to 2,500 yuan per month, we can no longer rely solely on the Seventh Machinery Department. Besides, the motors for electric vehicles are not given to the Seventh Machinery Department in the first place. Otherwise, the Seventh Machinery Department will be even busier.

Just after crossing Beixin Bridge, a familiar figure pulling an unfamiliar figure passed by not far away and disappeared into the nearby Tu'er Hutong.

"Xue Feng, you're here to take a look again. You've been running back a lot during this time."

He didn't say anything, he just touched the little girl's head kissingly, which made the little girl dissatisfied again.

"Don't worry, brother, I don't have any problems. Ask the second brother, he might have some."

The dim street lights on the road have been turned on. Time, there are still some people on the street, the temperature is very suitable, and many people are still hanging out.

"Brother, don't listen to my little sister. I don't have it either. You told me everything over the weekend. There's no problem."

"Okay, if there's anything unclear later, write it down. I'll be back in two days. Then ask me, by the way, who cooked dinner."

The two of them looked at the elder brother, a little surprised that he asked this question out of the blue.

"Today is Brother Zhuzi. He said that we are at the end of the semester. We are not allowed to interfere in the cooking now. Let us review carefully. What's the matter? The factory is too busy. Chef He is not free. Otherwise, I will It’s very convenient to do it with my second brother.”

"That's not necessary. When I just came back from the factory, I seemed to see Brother Zhuzhu outside. I thought he had never come back."

The younger sister tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Brother Zhuzhu always goes out for a walk as soon as it gets dark during this period, and it's the same today."

"Oh, that's it. It's okay then. Just review by yourself."

The three brothers and sisters were studying in their own rooms, but the brother they talked about was sitting on the kang talking to others.

"It's already been six months, and you haven't finished yet. I've been waiting so impatiently, why don't you stop waiting, let's get things done first, and let's settle this matter together. We're all a family, yours It’s not my business either.”

"Why are you so anxious? It will definitely be over in a few months. We have been waiting for several months and there is still only this moment left. You are still worried that I will run away."

Silly Zhu giggled, "That's not what I meant. Don't you want to let you in early? You are struggling alone. I feel distressed. By the way, I saved another two hundred and brought it here today. You Take it first.”

The woman hesitated, but finally didn't answer. Silly Zhu was unhappy.

"Hey, this money is hot. Take it. I'll figure out how to pay for the work. It's not a problem that you keep putting it off. There's still a lot left. Why don't I talk to my brother and help you first? Once things are settled, we can return the favor together in the future."

The woman shook her head stubbornly and did not accept Silly Zhu's kindness.

"Brother Zhuzi, you are a good person. I broke into this hole, so I have to fix it. I borrowed a lot from you. If this is not done, I will never enter your house until I die. You only earn such a small salary in a month. It’s only been a few months, how come you’ve saved another two hundred? Don’t you usually eat or drink?”

Silly Zhu was a little proud and said with a smile. "Don't worry about it. I'm a cook and I have a living wage. Why are you so stubborn? Tell me how big the hole is. If two people can block it, it will be faster than you alone."

The woman was very stubborn on this matter, and Silly Zhu would not let go no matter what he said.

"No, in one month, when the crops are harvested, the village should be able to repay a lot, and it should be even. By then, I will be debt-free, and we can prepare to do things. At the end of the year, the village will pay back Everything that comes up is earned, and I guess your three hundred can be returned to you."

"We are all a family, what is my three hundred? You said that we are all like this, and you still know the difference clearly. It's boring. If you want me to tell you, talk to my brother. What a big deal, it will save you money. It’s a mess inside and out.”

The woman shook her head. Seeing the woman's persistence, Si Zhu lost her temper.

"Well, let me tell you something. It's hard to say anything else. My brother treats me without saying anything. As long as you nod your head, I will talk to him and I will definitely take care of it. This kid Doudou There should be quite a lot of them, please listen to me and tell you..."

"By the way, let's not talk about your brother. You said last time that you wouldn't deal with anyone in your yard. Tell me about the one who messed up our affairs last time."

… "Second brother, go open the door and see who it is."

A gentle knock on the door interrupted the three brothers and sisters' review.

"Xue Song, I saw the light in your brother's room was on. It must be your brother who is back."

"Brother, it's the third uncle."

"Oh, here we come. Third uncle, what's going on? Come on, let's go inside and talk. Second uncle, make a cup of tea for third uncle."

There was a smile on the third uncle's face, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed. This was another time when he came to ask for something.

"Third uncle, if you have any questions, just tell me. I'm a neighbor in the street, so you're welcome."

The third uncle said hesitantly. It turned out that it was Zhu Xuefeng who suggested to the third uncle years ago that he should change to an electric one, and the third uncle was moved.

"It's not that I heard that the factory has internal purchase quotas. Our family is not ranked in the rankings. I remember you said at that time, your uncle really wants it, can you help me, so you are so shameless that you come to ask for it. .”

"That's right. I still remember it. Did your bicycle spin out?"

"This is why we have made a deal. It is convenient for the two of us to have a car when we go out, so I will give it to him first..."

This thing shouldn't be difficult. It's just an electric car. Zhu Xuefeng didn't care. At least the third uncle's family didn't plot against others like the legend. They only plotted against their own family. In addition, the third aunt helped protect the family last time. Looking at the door of the family, after all, he really owes a favor.

"Okay, let me ask you about this. Just wait. You will definitely be indispensable. However, please don't talk about it outside. If everyone comes to ask, I can't help it."

The third uncle was smiling, his face was like a flower.

"Thank you then, Xiaofeng, don't worry, I won't tell anyone..."

The third uncle went out happily, and when he got home, the third aunt asked with concern.

"Old man, are you ready? What did Xiaofeng say? According to me, you have to carry something when you come to ask for help. I have never seen anyone go there empty-handed."

"Old lady, you still don't understand their family. It's done. He asked me to wait. If it's something really outrageous, there's no way he could agree to it so happily."

"Then I'll give the bike to the boss. There's no one to ride it. It took more than two hours to go back and forth to work last time. Now you can transfer your bike to him, so he can have more time to go home."

The third uncle glanced at the third aunt angrily.

"You know how much you feel about the child. There are many employees in the steel rolling mill in this big yard, and there are a few people who ride bicycles to work. This kid is still angry with me. It has nothing to do with bicycles."

"How can it be possible? The father and son can still have a grudge. No, the boss is not such a person. This is no longer a topic. Maybe time is too tight. Aren't the steel rolling mills always working overtime in the past six months? The child should be I can’t leave, by the way, this car…”

"I'll transfer the car to him, let's count it at seventy-five, and I'll suffer some losses. Then I'll let him pay a few more months of salary and that's it."

"Seventy-five, old man, wasn't it only eighty-five when you bought it? Isn't it a bit too much?"

"What's more, a new car costs 164, which is less than half the price. When I bought it, this car looked like it was shabby and hard to ride. I've only been riding it for less than two years. , but it’s much better packed now, and it’s easier to ride than it was then, and I even gave him ten yuan to spare. He’s no longer young or old, so you don’t have to worry about this matter, I told him last time.”

Seeing that the old man had already made up his mind, the third aunt sighed, said no more, cleaned up, and faced the three little heads who were eavesdropping.

"Why are you still lying here? Go and review your homework. You should also learn from the two opposites. Really, none of them can make anyone worry."

Seeing that all the children had gone in, the third uncle whispered.

"Xiao Zhu said that this car should get the quota from the boss's name. When the quota comes down and I get the car, I will sell it to Lao Yang, and the matter will be settled."

"Sold to Lao Yang from your school? What should you do? You walk to work every day. With your old arms and legs, can you do it?"

The third aunt didn't know that her husband was planning to resell it, so she was shocked. The husband gave the bicycle to his son and also sold the electric car. Which one was it for?

"I don't understand. This electric car is very popular outside now. You can't even buy it at a higher price. Do you really think I want to use it by myself? With our family's conditions, we need to be cautious when using electric cars."

"I'm just going to give it to Lao Yang. We already agreed. We can't earn the extra money from outside, but those who come in can earn 80, and the team leader of this grade has also left. How appropriate."

The third aunt hesitated for a while, but still raised a question.

"Is it appropriate for you to take someone else's favor and give it away, and let Xiao Zhu know about it? If you don't have a bike, it would be inappropriate for you to commute to and from get off work. Otherwise, you shouldn't give it to the boss."

The third uncle shook his head, "This car will take up the boss' quota. When he figures it out, he will come to make trouble. This car is for him to use, so what reason does he have to open his mouth? Without Xiao Zhu's help, he will wait another ten years." It depends on whether you get the turn or not.”

The third aunt realized that this problem still existed, but my husband was still thoughtful. With the extra 80 yuan, I could buy a second-hand bicycle.

"Old man, your brain is so good, but when the time comes, how are you going to explain to Xiao Zhu whether you have made up your mind or not? People have taken the trouble to help you, but you..."

"You don't have to worry about this. It's the boss's quota. No one else knows about it. He won't mind. If you really want to ask, I'll just tell you. Xiao Zhu should be able to understand. If I, the team leader, become , you can get eight yuan more subsidy per month, think about it, it will be a new car in less than two years, how appropriate it is."

The third aunt is completely convinced. My husband is thoughtful. Eight yuan more per month is really a lot of income.

"That's hard on you. You have to walk to and from get off work every day, and your legs are weak. What should you do if the old problem occurs when it's windy or rainy? Buy a second-hand one as soon as possible. Don't tire yourself. This family depends on you, if you collapse from exhaustion, there will be no hope for us mothers."

"It's not like I haven't been here before. Don't worry. Let's wait until the boss settles down and stops making trouble."

"You prepare an extra dish tomorrow night and I have to take a sip. These days, I'm really looking forward to it."

"It's just a pity that the vegetable garden has no vegetables now. If Xiaosi and Xuemei can't say hello, they can get more vegetables. Alas, this Jia Zhang family."

Speaking of Jia Zhangshi, the third aunt looked at the three children who were reviewing inside, came over and whispered.

"A few days ago, on the big weekend, I saw Jia's wife taking the children and carrying some snacks to go out. I guess she was going to visit Jia Zhang. I said hello to her, but she also hesitated. She didn't say anything, this little daughter-in-law really has a conscience, this evil mother-in-law has such a daughter-in-law, she has accumulated great virtues."

"You, you, you should worry less about other people's affairs. Now the boss is talking about it again. If this really happens, our house will not be habitable. We still need to use the things we prepared last time. , When the time comes, this small utility room will have to be tidied up. Nowadays, housing in the city is very tight, so it seems hopeless to hope for a house."

"Old man, this little utility room is too small. It doesn't even have a window. It really can't be lived in. Although Huang Xiaojuan didn't say it last time, I think she was actually not satisfied with it. This time, the girl, I don't even have one. Seeing it, I don’t know if it will be done by then.”

"What if it doesn't work? I can't change the house. Huang Xiaojuan can agree to make do with it, but this one can't. If you don't like it, don't come into our house..."

When the third uncle talked about the house, he felt a little inexplicable trouble. He couldn't help but speak louder, causing the three little ones to look up.
