Reborn Great Nation Craftsman

Chapter 306 This is Society

After inviting the factory directors to eat, Zhang Junping completely stopped asking questions and devoted himself to his original life track.

Zhang Junping is immersed in his own world here, very busy and fulfilling.

Over there, several furniture factories that are about to be integrated are completely fried.

Originally, some old carpenters who were not reconciled had just connected together and were going to go to the city government to ask the leaders for an explanation.

He was overwhelmed by Zhang Junping's series of combined punches.

Liu Pingan is an old carpenter in a hardwood furniture factory and has retired at home.

He started working in Dongcheng Hardwood Furniture Factory when he was 15 years old. At that time, it was not called Dongcheng Hardwood Furniture Factory, but it was still called Boyazhai. He worked from an apprentice to a master, and finally retired as the deputy factory director in charge of technology.

Liu Pingan has very strong opinions on integration. He once experienced an integration. After the integration, Boya Zhai disappeared, leaving only Dongcheng Hardwood Furniture Factory.

At that time, he was just a young carpenter who had just graduated from the teacher, and he didn't have much right to speak, and he didn't have much emotion.

But Dongcheng Hardwood Furniture Factory is different. There are memories of his youth and love here. He got married here, gave birth to a child, and grew old. Dongcheng Hardwood Furniture Factory has too many memories and too many emotions.

Now, it is going to be integrated again, which means that Dongcheng Hardwood Furniture Factory will also disappear in the long river of history.

Thinking that the furniture factory he had worked for half his life was about to disappear, Liu Ping'an felt so distressed that he couldn't eat or sleep.

So Liu Pingan united some old guys who were unwilling to see the Dongcheng Hardwood Furniture Factory disappear, and planned to go to the city hall to petition.

This time, Liu Pingan vowed that he must prevent the tragedy from happening.

However, before Liu Ping'an went to the city government, some things happened, which severely affected Liu Ping's plan.

Not reconciled, Liu Pingan found his old colleague and buddy Wang Fuquan.

This is already the fourth old buddy he has found, and the others have regretted not wanting to follow him to the city hall.

"Old Wang, do you want to go to the city hall tomorrow?"

"Old Liu is here, let's do it! Our brothers have not been drinking together for some time, and the son-in-law gave me a bottle of good wine, let's have a drink together?" Wang Fuquan did not answer Liu Ping'an, but invited him to drink.

"Then have a drink?" Liu Pingan was upset and a bit greedy for alcohol, so he sat down obediently.

After a few glasses of wine, he talked more.

"Old Liu, you said that we are all at this age, why are we bothering?" Wang Fuquan said slowly.

"Old Wang, what do you mean?" Liu Ping'an's expression changed.

"Old Liu! You said that if the integration of the furniture factory is really messed up, it will be fine?
Eight people in your family live in three houses. Your youngest son has been married for three years, but he still dare not have children. Why? "

After Wang Fuquan finished asking, he didn't wait for Liu Ping'an's answer, but asked himself and answered, "Because there is no place to live, I dare not give birth!"

Liu Pingan didn't speak, just drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"Old Liu, all three of your children work in the Dongcheng Hardwood Furniture Factory, right? Once the integration is completed, they will be allocated three houses!

You said that if you messed up, let alone others, what would your three sons think of you?Will hate you? "

Wang Fuquan's voice was not loud, but it pierced Liu Pingan's heart like a sharp knife. Liu Pingan didn't speak, but filled up the wine on his own, and drank it all in one gulp.

He didn't know what Wang Fuquan said, and his daughter-in-law's words were still echoing in his ears, but he couldn't let go of the obsession in his heart.

One side is the memory of half a lifetime, the emotional sustenance of half a lifetime, and the other is my family.

The third daughter-in-law directly said that if Liu Pingan messed up this matter, she would get a divorce.

Although the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law did not mention the divorce, their attitudes have already shown everything.

Ever since he knew that as long as the integration is completed, every employee will be allocated a two-bedroom house, and the two daughters-in-law have never spoken to him or even cooked meals.

The old woman also kept nagging in his ear.

Sighing, Liu Pingan shook his head and said, "I won't go! As you said, if I go, not only my son will hate me, but my grandchildren will hate me for the rest of my life!"

Very helpless, but this is society!

"That's right! Old Liu, you have to look forward, just like the public-private partnership back then, this is the progress of the times!

If it weren't for the public-private partnership back then, how could there be today's Dongcheng Hardwood Furniture Factory? "

Wang Fuquan served Liu Pingan full of wine while talking.

"Old Liu! Let's not talk about the benefits of the new factory, but let's talk about the development of hardwood furniture.

In the past, when we were still apprentices, Jingzuo furniture was the top three furniture. Wherever we Jingzuo craftsmen go, don’t we hold our heads high?
But now?
We didn’t dare to use the new canopy beds made by other people’s state hotels, but went to Suzhou to find Su as a craftsman!

What's this?This is a slap in the face of our Jingzuo craftsmen!

Old Liu, instead of worrying about the integration of the furniture factory, you might as well worry about it. The skills of our Jingzuo craftsmen are about to be lost by those younger generations!The hardwood furniture factory has changed from producing furniture to producing abacus. What's the matter? "Wang Fuquan said sadly.

"Alas!" Liu Pingan opened his mouth, wanting to refute Wang Fuquan's words, but he couldn't refute, finally turned into a sigh.

This kind of thing happened not only to Liu Pingan, but also to many carpenters who, like Liu Pingan, had such reluctance to the old furniture factory.

However, without exception, they all lost to life.

Every employee can be allocated a two-bedroom apartment, and if it is a double-employee, it can also be allocated a three-bedroom or even a four-bedroom apartment.

In this day and age, for a family with three or even four generations squeezed into a few bungalows, the temptation is too great.

People like Liu Pingan may be able to resist his wife's nagging and his son's opposition, but he cannot resist the tears of his daughter-in-law and the longing eyes of his grandchildren.

No matter how deep the affection for the factory is, it will be defeated by the threat of separation from his wife and children.

Zhang Junping didn't know that so many things had happened, he was completely immersed in the ocean of history.

The more books I read, the more shallow I feel.

Through the study of history, Zhang Junping has a new understanding of Ming and Qing ancient furniture.

For example, Ming-style furniture is a large category of classical furniture. A layman may think that all Ming-style furniture is the same.

Even Zhang Junping thought so before.

However, Zhang Junping now knows that Ming-style furniture is also a process of continuous development. From the period of Ming Taizu at the end of Yuan Dynasty to the beginning of Ming Dynasty, Ming-style furniture absorbed some styles of Yuan Dynasty furniture and gradually formed its own characteristics.

Then to Yongle, Chenghua, Zhengde, and Chongzhen, all are constantly changing.

The development of furniture is closely related to the social background such as politics and economy at that time.
