1987: Sleepless Tonight

"What, you are working for Haozi?" Lu Liexing was taken aback, "My father-in-law, don't scare me."

Life in the countryside is very difficult, the income is unstable and low, and people depend on the weather for food.

The fields are dry, and water needs to be pumped. The drainage and irrigation system built during the commune period is used to pump water from the pumping station, and then lead to the fields through the diversion canal.

Or pick with a bucket.

There is a lot of rain, and I have to worry that the fields next to the lake and river will be flooded, so I have to go to see it, and I have to remove the tag and release the excess water.

Very hard work and very unstable.

After the grain has been harvested, after paying the public grain, keeping the seeds, and keeping the rations, there is not much left, and there is not much money to sell. In the city, many people have jobs, and most of them are still in state-owned units. This is very important for the countryside. Is the object of great envy.

Su Xingmin worked as a cadre in a state-owned beverage factory. To be honest, Lu Liexing always felt short when facing Su Xingmin, but he never expected that his father-in-law was working for his son now?

The beverage factory of the state-run unit has become private, and his son is the boss? !

"No kidding, this happened some time ago, and the state-owned units look like they are bluffing people, but in fact many of them are foreign powers and middle-rankers, and they are all paper tigers." Su Xingmin said, "There are more than 100 beverage factories in Jiangcheng. It was very intense, seeing soda making money, many units were engaged in the soda business, which resulted in the closure of many soda factories, and this is also the case with Hongyuan Beverage Factory.”

"More than 500 employees are facing the dilemma of being laid off. The sodas are piled up in the warehouse and no one buys them. Thanks to the second son-in-law's idea, he sold the backlog of sodas."

"It can be said that he is the savior of more than 500 employees of the beverage factory, plus their family members, who gave them hope and hope to survive, so that these workers will not lose their source of income. Many of the workers in the beverage factory are For a dual-career family, if the beverage factory is really gone, there will be no source of family income at all, and the whole family will have to wait to drink Northwest Wind.”

Su Xingmin sighed, "The city is no better than the countryside. There is no work in the countryside, but each household has at least some fields, which can grow some food and solve the problem of food and clothing, but not in the city. There are no fields, no jobs, no jobs. fields, and everything has to be bought, without money it is impossible to move a single step.”

"That's true." Lu Liexing nodded, "There is a retreat in the countryside, especially now that the fields have been settled, everyone's enthusiasm has increased a lot, and the production has also increased. No matter what happens, they will not starve to death."

Lu Liexing and Li Jinxiang looked at their son, very relieved.

My son is really amazing, saving more than 500 families!

"Later, there were some problems at the beverage factory, and I owed a lot of debts. A good factory was about to be tossed and collapsed. Fortunately, the second son-in-law took over the beverage factory and saved the beverage In this way, the beverage factory has become a private unit." Su Xingmin said.

"Now it can be said bluntly that the second son-in-law's status in the beverage factory is very high. Regardless of the young or old, and regardless of what position he held in the beverage factory, everyone admires him and follows him willingly. Work and follow his orders and instructions, even my father-in-law is very satisfied with him, he is very smart in business."

"You two have raised a very remarkable son."

When Su Xingmin said this, he was half sighing, and half was intentionally flattering Lu Liexing and Li Jinxiang.

Mothers are valued by their sons, and fathers are valued by their sons. The sons are powerful, and the parents have glory on their faces.

He could see that Lu Liexing and Li Jinxiang were a little cautious, so they deliberately told Lu Hao how powerful they were.

"The food is ready, old Su, clear the table, you can come over and serve the food, father-in-law, have a drink? Old Su, take out the wine too, and have a few drinks with your father-in-law." Wang Guizhi shouted in the kitchen .

The meal is ready.

The melon seeds, peanuts, and other snacks on the table were cleared away, and the dishes were also served on the table.

Very hearty.

Pig ears, stir-fried pork intestines, beef with green peppers, pork ribs and lotus root soup, lotus root strips, cold edamame, and several other dishes, all set up a large table.

The ribs and lotus root soup has been simmering since yesterday. The color of the soup has turned brown, and the ribs have also tasted. Some minced meat floated on the soup, which seemed to be full of appetite.

Su Xingmin took out the Moutai, opened it, poured a glass for Lu Liexing, then looked at Li Jinxiang, "Pour you a glass too?"

"No, no, you guys drink, I won't drink." Li Jinxiang waved his hand.

She can drink it, but she is worried that after drinking it, it will be difficult to take care of her daughter-in-law, so she stops drinking it.

This meal lasted for a long time, and they talked a lot. Lu Liexing and Xingmin drank to their heart's content and chatted very well. In front of them was a father-in-law, and in the back was the elder brother, who yelled.

Hook shoulders.

Whispering, holding hands, leaning their heads together, bending down, talking under the table.

The meal is finished.

Wang Guizhi chatted with Li Jinxiang.

Lu Liexing and Su Xingmin drank some tea and sobered up.

"I'll send Nini to school." Lu Hao said to Su Min.

She took Nini downstairs, got into the car, and drove Nini back to school. She still had classes in the afternoon.

When he came back, he found his father-in-law Su Xingmin, his father Lu Liexing talking downstairs, his mother-in-law Wang Guizhi, his mother Li Jinxiang, and his daughter-in-law Su Min were also chatting with their neighbors.

"Let's go, let's go to the beverage factory together." Su Xingmin said when he saw Lu Hao came back.

"You drank a lot of wine at noon, don't you take a break?" Lu Hao asked.

"I didn't take a break, drank some tea, came out to blow the wind, and almost woke up from the wine." Su Xingmin shook his head, "Your parents finally came to Jiangcheng. You have made such a great achievement, and you must let it go." They have seen and seen, they have visited department stores and Weiminsheng supermarkets, and now they should go to the beverage factory to have a look.”

"This is also to reassure them."

Lu Hao nodded.

He looked at Su Min, "You don't want to go, you have a big belly, it's inconvenient, just stay at home, I'll come pick you up later."

"Okay." Su Min said slightly, "Take care of them, they drank a lot."

"Don't worry, I will watch." Lu Hao said.

Lu Hao, Lu Liexing, Li Jinxiang, and Su Xingmin went to the beverage factory together.

Walked around in the beverage factory, then went to the workshop to shout, cheered up the employees, and then left.

The smiles on the faces of Lu Liexing and Li Jinxiang never disappeared.

I am happier than Lu Hao taking them to the Yellow Crane Tower and the Yangtze River Bridge.

They both noticed that the employees of the beverage factory were very convinced of Lu Hao, and their son's speech was very recognized by the employees, and the response was very good.
