Ants exploded, I opened a power plant to supply power to the world

Chapter 189 Chapter 188 Getting better, Li Fanbing is no longer "ordinary"

Just two days ago, Li Fanbing spent the second amount of money in his life, which was more than 50,000 yuan, to buy a second-hand car.

The first payment was some time ago when I used all my salary, savings, and retirement benefits before joining Zhetong to give my mother, who was paralyzed in bed, a thorough checkup and treatment.

……

"Brothers and sisters who stay behind must be careful during these days at the end of the year. Many places in our Zhetong forest farm are close to villages, so we have to keep an eye on the New Year's fireworks..."

After saying this, Li Fanbing glanced at his colleagues sitting below, and everyone was basically listening attentively.

Currently, the Shima Town area of ​​the forest farm under the Zhetong Electric Power Group has a total of 68 employees and six Great Wall pickup trucks.

He is the person in charge of this area. His current salary plus other benefits and occasional overtime allowances make him more than 6,000 yuan a month, and occasionally even more than 7,000 yuan.

This was the first time that Li Fanbing experienced what it felt like to be confident in this area.

These were all brought to him by Zhetong Electric Power.

……

When the meeting ended and there was still more than an hour before the end of get off work, Li Fanbing and several colleagues were not idle. Instead, they rolled up their sleeves, fetched water, and took rags to start cleaning the work vehicles parked in the district yard.

Throw the rag into the bucket and swish it back and forth for a few times, then wring out some of the water but leave some in to keep it moist, then wipe the car carefully inside and out.

"We have to keep everything clean during the New Year, and the same applies to our home. Our car is our old friend. We drive it up mountains and down rivers. We should also wash it well during the New Year."

After listening to Li Fanbing's words, the other people also started talking, and some of them even asked about the car.

Because in addition to the company cars parked in the compound, there was also Li Fanbing's newly purchased car, which he drove directly here a few days ago.

It’s not that Li Fanbing was showing off or anything, but time was tight. After contacting the car dealer and confirming the day to pick up the goods, it was a weekday, so he drove back to work.

"Brother Bing, last time I heard you say you bought this car for 50,000, right?"

"Yeah, it looks pretty good, right? Anyway, from my experience, I think it's a good deal."

Li Fanbing obtained his driver's license as a military license when he was in the army, and later changed it to an ordinary driver's license after he was discharged from the army.

He likes driving, especially the feeling of driving on the road. Unfortunately, his family conditions are not good enough, and he can never drive a car again after he got married. The people around him don't have the conditions either, and he is embarrassed to borrow other people's cars.

Before he joined Zhetong Electric Power, he didn't dare to touch his pension and some savings from part-time jobs, or rather, he wanted to, but his parents wouldn't let him.

He was afraid that something big would happen at home and he would have to spend money, and he would have to find a wife in the future, so he couldn't do without savings.

But since he joined Zhetong Electric Power, his family saw hope and agreed to let him take out money to send his mother to the city for a comprehensive examination and subsequent treatment.

Although he was bedridden before, it was not paralysis or any other serious illness, but just a problem with his sciatic spine.

To put it bluntly, it's a disease caused by poverty. If my family had money or were willing to spend money, I would have recovered long ago.

Now she can stagger a few steps, which is better than being unable to get out of bed.

So Li Fanbing, who had saved up half a year's salary, finally saw a car he liked some time ago, and after confirming it, he bought it.

The car was not expensive, just an ordinary second-hand sedan, but it was reliable enough to allow Li Fanbing to start driving again and to carry his family to distant places.

"Brother Bing, let me help you wipe it. It's just a car anyway."

After hearing this, Li Fanbing shook his head. Although this matter is small, it cannot be taken lightly.

"No, we are all employees of Zhetong Electric Power. If you are not working during working hours, you should sit at your workstation. Let's not do personal things."

Li Fanbing felt that he might be a bit old-fashioned in this regard, but since Zhetong gave him hope, he would seriously stick to his principles.

……

When it was time to get off work, Li Fanbing and Xiaojuan got into their newly bought car. Their parents had never seen the car before, so they drove back today to show it to them. Especially their younger sister Li Juan, after she knew about it, she clamored to ride in the car.

It is impossible for her to come and make trouble at work on weekdays, but now I can drive back and show it to the girl.

In front of the girl, he, as a brother, still feels a bit "showy".

Li Fanbing drove his car to pick up two colleagues who were going the same way and went home to celebrate the New Year.

When they drove to Shima Town and passed the power plant, the workers were just getting off work. Along the way, Li Fanbing kept greeting those old acquaintances.

"Hey, Fan Bing bought a car, that's great."

"Hey, I bought a used car."

"Fan Bing, you're great. You bought a car and brought your girlfriend home. You're awesome."

"I'm sending her home. It's not the Chinese New Year yet. It's not good to go too early. She won't feel comfortable."

"Damn, Lao Li, you're already on holiday? I envy you guys at the forest farm. We in the power department still have more than a week before we get our annual holiday."

"Our forestry boss said that there is not much work to do on this coldest day, so we let you go early. You can bear with it. Anyway, you were on duty last year and you will definitely be able to go home for the New Year this year."

……

While driving along the way, Li Fanbing kept passing by the nearby villages and fields, which were where he was born and grew up.

First, he dropped off his two colleagues at the intersection near their village one by one, and then he personally sent his girlfriend home.

His girlfriend Chai Xiaojuan’s village was not far from theirs. When they first started dating, her family was very nice to him and he had an impression of her.

Moreover, Chai Xiaojuan's family conditions were not much better when she was recruited by Zhetong Electric Power to work in the forest farm. But now their family conditions have improved because of Zhetong Electric Power.

"Why don't you go up and let my brother get you a glass of water?"

"Forget it. I'm only 1.75 meters tall and I'm scared when I see your brother who's only 1.83 meters tall. Let's do it another day."

"Haha, Dexing, you've been a soldier, but you're so timid. I'm leaving now. Let's go to the market together the day after tomorrow, Fanbing."

……

Watching his girlfriend's back as she climbed up the slope to her home, just at that moment, his brother-in-law pushed open the wooden door and came out. Seeing this, Li Fanbing turned the steering wheel and drove away.

It's not that I'm afraid of his size or anything, but mainly because of my status, seeing my brother-in-law and father-in-law is like a mouse seeing a cat, and I can't be brave enough.

Especially my eldest brother-in-law. When Li Fanbing was a child, he often got beaten up in "village wars" with other kids in his village. Now that he knows that his sister is dating this little brat, the way she looks at him seems unfriendly.

No matter how nothing works now, if you decide to marry your eldest brother-in-law into the family, he will be a close relative.

……

Driving back to the village, when passing the village entrance, Li Fanbing saw from a distance his lame old father hunched over in his field, and his sister helping with the work beside him.

"A horn." After hearing the car horn, Li Fanbing's father and sister who were working in the fields looked up.

When they first saw the white car, neither of them knew what was going on, but as the window rolled down and Li Fanbing's face was revealed, Li Juan jumped out first.

"Brother! Dad, it's brother who's back with the new car he bought!"

"I see. Although your father's legs are lame, his eyes are not blind."

As he spoke, Li Fanbing's father looked at the car and suddenly lowered his head, picked up a hoe and turned over a handful of soil. A tear fell in the field where the brother and sister could not see.

There are two things that determine whether you live a good life in the village: one is how well your house is built, and the other is whether you have a car.

Originally, their family had no access to these two things, but now his wife has recovered from her illness and can get out of bed, and Li Fanbing has a stable job and has bought a car.

As for the money for buying a house and a car, Li Fanbing discussed it with his family. Seventy or eighty thousand yuan would not be enough to completely renovate the house, so he decided to wait for another year or two.

When the time comes, Li Fanbing will pay for the renovation of his house, so he bought a car first.

It seems that the hard days are really over now. This ordinary soldier I gave birth to is not ordinary either.
……

After approaching the open fields and making sure that it would not affect other people passing through, Li Fanbing pulled the handbrake and continued to work.

With the addition of Li Fanbing, the "new force", the work of turning the soil became much faster and the crops were turned out in less than half an hour.

Then they put the things in the ground into the trunk, and Li Juan went to the passenger seat with an excited look on her face.

But their father felt a little embarrassed.

"It's only a few steps away, why take a car? If the villagers see us, they will think we are showing off. You guys go ahead, I'll walk behind you."

"Dad, why do you care so much? This car is for us to use. Come on in and experience your son's life. You didn't have the chance to experience the big army truck I drove when he was in the army, so you have to take a ride now."

I couldn't persuade my son, and in fact, he really wanted to sit down.

Li Fanbing's father also sat on it, and then Li Fanbing stepped on the gas and arrived at the door of his house.

……

In the past, it took Li Fanbing's father about fifteen minutes to walk from his doorstep to his own fields at the entrance of the village, which was not very convenient.

But it took only three minutes to get home by car.

When the car stopped at the door, Li Fanbing saw his mother sitting in the yard doing some simple chores.

"Mom, I'm back."

"Is that car at the door yours? It looks really nice~"

"Yes, I will drive you guys out for a ride during the Chinese New Year, and we can travel or something."

……

Li Juan talked the most during the meal, and she also talked about what her father had said recently.

"Brother, Dad said that although you are called an ordinary soldier, you are no longer ordinary now. To our family, you are simply a divine soldier! A divine soldier sent from the sky!"

Li Fanbing also laughed when he heard the girl's words.

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's clearly written on the ID card. Why did you change your name? Besides, this is not my own ability. I have no education. I just met a good person like Mr. Lin and was able to work in a good company like Zhetong."

Speaking of this, the whole family agrees with this fact.

In addition to Li Fanbing, Li Juan also received a scholarship from Zhetong Electric Power, which reduced a lot of burden on her family and allowed her to start her college career more smoothly.

"Don't worry, brother. I studied power application in college. After all, I'm a 958 student. I can learn something. After graduation, I will be admitted to Zhetong. I will repay Zhetong."

"Haha, repay? Once you get in, just work hard. We at Zhetong have nothing to complain about our employees."

As far as I can remember, our family has rarely been so happy. Gloom and sadness have always been the main theme of this family. But now things are getting better.

"By the way, where's Dad? I saw him eat a few bites just now and then went out. Why hasn't he come back for so long?"

Just after Li Juan asked this question, their father also stood outside the door with a limp.

"I'm back. I just went to the village store to buy a bunch of firecrackers."

The car was a second-hand car, so Li Fanbing didn't care about those details. Besides, second-hand car businesses don't provide those services, so there was no firecrackers or red decorations when he drove it back.

But my dad insisted that even though it was a second-hand car, the necessary rules must be followed.

The purpose was to bring good luck and peace, so Li Fanbing's family asked his mother to prepare red cloth long ago. In addition, they went to buy firecrackers after dinner when they came back today.

When walking out of the door, the girl took the initiative to tie a piece of red cloth on the rearview mirror of the car so as not to affect the vision.

In addition, his father also handed him a string of "Earth Red".

"Go ahead and let him go."

There were crackling sounds. Although it had dimmed, the light from the firecrackers reflected the smiling faces of Li Fanbing's family of four.

……

At the end of the year, the civil service departments such as finance and human resources within the group become busy. Human resources needs to arrange the duty roster based on last year's duty situation as well as the new staff and regions that have entered this year.

In addition, the finance department is also checking the annual report and preparing to distribute Lin Zhe's year-end bonus.

Lin Zhe likes to "give money" within the group, which makes things difficult for their finance department and increases their workload sharply.

They have made preparations for this year's Chinese New Year and are just waiting for the president's office to come up with a plan.

……

At the same time, inside the headquarters building of Lincheng Zhetong Electric Power, if nothing unexpected happens, this should be Lin Zhe’s last year at the Lincheng headquarters.

This place will not be used as the headquarters next year. After all, Lincheng is just a small county town in the fourth or fifth tier, and it is becoming cramped as the number of people increases.

By then, the functions of the headquarters and some other departments will definitely be moved away, but some other departments can be left behind. In any case, they will not be abandoned. At least the Zhetong Power Station of Lincheng Bus Company will always be there.

As the New Year was approaching, Lin Zhe was in the office, playing with the ornaments given by Yan Xi, while calculating in his mind how much money to give to the employees.

Last year, everyone in the group received a year-end bonus of 10,000 yuan, and of course the senior executives received a higher bonus.

This year, Lin Zhe estimated that he would raise their salary and send a letter to the employees at the same time.

After all, the group's monthly revenue has exceeded 10 billion and they have made a lot of contributions, so this year's year-end bonus must be paid out.
