Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 415 Troubled Spring
Zhu Xuefeng has a slightly different view on this. It is indeed very difficult to live in some places now, and there are relatives and friends who are doing better outside. It is human nature to go there and seek refuge. It cannot be summed up to forget the ancestors, but in the face of There is nothing that can be said about an old revolutionary like Uncle Kong.

Uncle Kong was in charge of external affairs, and he should have been exposed to a lot of things in this area. Zhu Xuefeng didn't know what he was feeling about, so he could only comfort him.

"Everyone has his or her own ambitions. Some people have a difficult life and want to go out and work hard. This is not a bad thing, but they can't see clearly the future development of the country. These people will regret their choices one day."

Being rich and powerful in a few decades is beyond the imagination of people at this time. It is very rare to leave the motherland now and want to come back in the future.

"A son doesn't think his mother is ugly, and a dog doesn't think his family is poor. These people would rather abandon their ancestors to become second-class citizens. There's nothing to say."

Uncle Kong didn't care about Zhu Xuefeng's words. He seemed to be deeply touched and must have been stimulated. Sure enough, he turned around and asked.

"It's April again now. Are you still going to the Canton Fair at the steel rolling mill?"

Zhu Xuefeng shook his head, "Now that the steel rolling mill has participated in the Canton Fair twice, and has a complete set of ideas and methods, I won't join in the fun. What do you want to bring? I'll tell them."

Uncle Kong smiled and said, "Is there anything I need you to bring? I mean, the Canton Fair may be affected this time, and it's very restless over there right now."

Seeing that Zhu Xuefeng seemed a little confused, Uncle Kong hesitated for a moment and then said, "A lot of people know about this now, and there is nothing that needs to be kept secret. Let me tell you."

Uncle Kong sighed, "I shouldn't have told you in the first place. It's just causing trouble. I can't take care of your godmother for a few days. She has to go out to do things. The northwest side is also restless. Maybe there will be something big. This matter is still in the confidentiality stage." , I won’t tell you anymore, and don’t tell your godmother either,”

Zhu Xuefeng seemed to have thought of something and nodded. "Uncle Kong, I know the discipline and will not pass it on. What happened over there and will it affect the Canton Fair?"

Based on Uncle Kong's feelings just now, Zhu Xuefeng estimated that this was a big event that was going to happen in June. This kind of thing was not something that a commoner like him could care about. Zhu Xuefeng suppressed his curiosity and didn't inquire. He just asked with concern.

If you have relatives or friends, you can make do by building a shed on the roof of their building. The temperature in Xiangjiang is not low. You can imagine how difficult the living conditions are in building a shed on the roof. Whenever a storm comes, everything will be blown over and a gust of wind will pass by. , the family is gone, it can be described as a miserable life.

There are many senior brothers, but when it comes to actually using them, he realizes that there are too many things involved behind each one. Considering the development of the autonomous region in the next few decades, Zhu Xuefeng decided to cultivate a group of people he can trust, and that is to train them from an early age. .

Yanzi was taken away by him because of this matter. Now he has arrived in Xiangjiang, and he doesn't know what he is doing now.

Just living like this, everyone comes from the same place and is always used to helping each other. They naturally live together and slowly form a huge group.

"What do these people think? Since the second half of last year, border management has been relaxed. Overtly and covertly, isn't this encouraging everyone to go there to seek refuge with relatives and friends?"

"Uncle Kong, we are not in our position and do not seek to govern our affairs. We may only know the superficial aspects of the situation in the south. We don't know more profoundly. Local officials must have taken these aspects into consideration when formulating local policies. Since there is no opposition or stoppage from above, , there must be more profound considerations, we don’t know about these, I think you don’t need to worry about it.”

It seems that Uncle Kong also has some opinions on the local policies there, but his responsibilities are beyond his control. Zhu Xuefeng has been there and knows that most of the people have been deported back by the Hong Kong government, but there are at least tens of thousands. Maybe more people are stranded there.

Now that Uncle Kong mentioned this matter, Zhu Xuefeng was still surprised.

Zhu Xuefeng was shocked. Did this matter spread so early? Even Uncle Kong who was far away in the capital heard about it.

Her task is to select some useful teenagers from this crowd and then train them. The lack of suitable people who can be used with confidence has always been a headache for Zhu Xuefeng.

"What should we do at home? Godmother is in the current situation. She can't take care of the two little ones. Even if she can manage them, she still has to go to work later. This..."

Those who had no relatives or friends to seek refuge would just build a simple wooden house and look for illegal workers outside. They relied on the tickets issued by the Hong Kong government to collect food from designated places every day, but they were neither full nor starved to death.

"I don't know who is spreading rumors, saying that the Queen is celebrating her birthday and is offering amnesty to the world. Anyone who comes over will be given an identity and free food supply. This has made people there panicked. Many people are ready to take action, but the local authorities still don't take it seriously. It's like this If we go down, I guess we will find a big basket.”

"You may be right. The local people may have their own plans. Since the higher-ups have not said anything, we will ignore it for now."

This is not easy to say. If you are hungry here, you might as well go out and look for a way to survive. The so-called "moving the dead to move the living" has been a tradition in the south for thousands of years. When going to Southeast Asia and America, there are these people who have left their homes everywhere.

"As I said before, now that we have two more younger brothers and sisters, you should stay down and work in the capital, and take good care of your godmother and younger brothers and sisters."

The Canton Fair is a top priority, and everyone is watching it. Its importance is just like the importance of the autumn harvest to farmers. The main foreign exchange in a year depends on the two Canton Fairs, especially in the past two years, the foreign exchange has to be used to purchase food.

"Uncle Kong, the higher ups have to worry about this kind of thing. You just need to take good care of your godmother and younger brothers and sisters. No matter how big the matter is, it should be handled at a high level."

Uncle Kong was also frowning. He was really happy to have two children, but he couldn't stand it if he, who had been traveling all year round, was suddenly free to take care of babies every day.

"Yeah, I also have a headache about this matter. If it hadn't been delayed by this matter, I should have left long ago."

"There are two children at home. It seems that we need to find someone to help. I think you need to discuss this matter with your godmother. The godmother is in charge of the street. Who can have someone to help? She should know best. It’s hard to deal with an old man, but with two children, it’s best to find a girl who is more diligent and honest.”

"Well, I have to discuss it with your mother. These few years are a critical period. I have to do some things. You should pay more attention to what happens at home. Both brothers are out of town, so you can't count on them. Zhu Xuefeng agreed, "If you have something to do, go and get busy. I will discuss it with my godmother at home. Don't worry, the arrangements will be made properly. I guarantee that my godmother and younger brothers and sisters will not suffer."

Zhu Xuefeng figured it out. The worst he could do was let Erya and Sanya take care of them. These two little girls were very attentive and good-tempered. As long as they took care of themselves, there would be no problem.

...

"You stay, I'm leaving. I'll report back to you when I have time."

Liu Haizhong carefully stepped back and closed the door. There was a smile on his face, and his steps downstairs became much brisker. This deputy director Li was not as greedy for money as some people said, and his filial piety was not enough. was severely criticized.

Deputy Factory Director Li is very strict, but he is still very nice to others, and his words of comfort to Liu Haizhong still echo in his ears.

"Old Liu, you are also an old comrade of our steel rolling mill. I have also heard about your incident. I personally think that your workshop handled this matter a bit sloppily. How can a team leader be held responsible for a safety accident? , It’s not you who operates the equipment. Besides, if you hadn’t cut off the power immediately, it wouldn’t be a matter of injuring a few people, but it would be a big disaster.”

Look, this leader is very capable, and he sees the problem accurately. The problem does not appear to him. He has made a contribution by cutting off the power in time, and the bones in his bangs have become lighter.

I remembered the promise made by Deputy Director Li just now.

"Old Liu, you are right when you are wronged and don't make a fuss. You go directly to the leader to report and respond. This awareness is very high. Don't worry, I will discuss your matter with the factory leaders. You can't let it happen. Old comrades at work have been wronged, no matter how old they are, we will not let serious and good comrades like you shed sweat and tears. "

Today's trip was really the right one. When a safety accident occurred, I made a contribution. The workshop only verbally praised myself for handling the accident decisively, but placed the responsibility for the accident on myself and exempted my team leader.

How can this work? The team leader is the starting stage of my dream. In the second half of last year, I invested so much energy and salary, how could I be exempted from the job in a daze? The results of a few months are obvious to everyone, and now there are still people working for me. Fighting against injustice is my mass base. With the support of Deputy Director Li, I can definitely stand up again. This time, I have to walk more steadily and stand higher.

As soon as Liu Haizhong went downstairs, he met his apprentice and former team member Cui Hao. It was his idea to find Deputy Factory Director Li to report the situation. This kid was a smart man, and Liu Haizhong would never leave him. I am very satisfied with my attitude. This is my mass base.

"Master, how are you? What did Deputy Director Li say?"

Liu Haizhong raised his head slightly, his eyes full of pride, "Deputy Factory Director Li still respects the facts and will submit our team's accident to the factory for further investigation and analysis. Just wait, our team cannot be separated."

Cui Hao lowered his body and said, "Let me just say, in such a big factory, there will always be someone to vindicate you. Xiaoniu and the others violated the equipment operating regulations themselves. This fault should not be blamed on you. Besides, If you hadn't cut off the power in time, they wouldn't have been injured, and some of them might have been disabled.

Liu Haizhong got the approval of Deputy Director Li, and the grievance in his heart was much lessened. It had been holding him back for more than a month, so he clasped his hands behind his back and said with his head held high.

"They are all bosses who only listen to what they are told and do their work. We are not as knowledgeable as them. The higher our attitude is, the more shallow and ignorant they appear."

"That's right, that's right. How can I compare with you? You can't tell if these people don't have any trouble at ordinary times. But if something goes wrong this time, their character will be clear. They are all ungrateful. It must be that you made them work overtime and they were tired. "These people just have no conscience and work overtime a lot. What does it have to do with you? Didn't the whole factory work overtime last year? We can't blame everything on you. These people have no responsibility at all."

Seeing the smile on Liu Haizhong's lips, Cui Hao continued.

"Master, don't be angry. Let them watch while you are redressed. We won't take them to play in the future. They will eat the snacks you brought more actively. If anything happens, I will blame it all on you. This kind of person, I Cui Hao just can’t stand it.”

Liu Haizhong stopped and put a hand on Cui Hao's shoulder, "Why am I angry with this kind of person? Don't talk about this now. Let's go have a drink after I am rehabilitated."

Liu Haizhong understood that Cui Hao was usually a bit naughty in the group. He was not popular in the group, so she thought he was smart and always asked him to help run errands and buy snacks. This guy became close to her.

"The relationship is good. I've been waiting for this day. Good people are rewarded. You are so selfless for the factory and the team. It's unfair for Lao Wangtou to deal with him this time. If the factory wants to vindicate you, it will give him a slap in the face. A loud slap in the face, so that he would not investigate in detail and just listen to one side of the story.”

Liu Haizhong felt that Cui Hao's words touched his heart. This guy was really considerate. His half-year experience as a team leader was quite something to be proud of, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

"Anyway, we don't have to work overtime now. We'll go have a drink as soon as we get off work to wipe away the recent bad luck. Don't tell anyone about this yet. Just let us know."

Little did the two of them know that the old Wangtou they were talking about would be arguing with Director Yang in the factory director's office.

Factory Director Yang looked at the materials sent by Zhu Xuefeng and believed that safe production was indeed very important and fatigue production was indeed harmful. He had not realized it before, but this time it happened to use the incident of the first workshop as a negative teaching material, and then the first workshop was Director Wang is invited to come over to discuss.

"Director, I object to this matter. Comrade Liu Haizhong made some mistakes in the production organization, but he also stopped the escalation of the accident and avoided greater harm. Now I have removed him as team leader. This That’s fine. Let’s continue to use him as a model. This is unfair to a veteran comrade who has worked for many years, and will make him unable to hold his head high in the factory for the rest of his life.”

What Director Wang said makes sense. Liu Haizhong played two different roles in this accident. He was both the cause of the accident and the stopper of the accident. It was really difficult to handle. Director Yang was also very embarrassed. Originally, I want to use this incident to alert the whole factory, but it seems that this method may not work.

At this time, reputation is more important than anything else. If you really use an old comrade as a negative example, something might happen. For example, if the old comrade can't think about it for a while, then a small matter will become a big deal. This kind of thing is not unheard of.

"Old Wang, I will think about this matter again. I have simplified the matter. You are right to remind us that our cadres must be clear about right and wrong, merits and demerits, and we must not let go of a danger, nor let the old comrades feel cold. Let’s put this aside for a while, and I’ll discuss it with the factory leaders, not only to solve the problem and alert the employees, but also to avoid being rude and rude.”
