The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

After entering April, the temperature in Ge'an is getting higher day by day.

If we must find a word to describe the mood of Lesteel employees at this time, then the word laid-off has undoubtedly become the most talked about word.

After all, Le Gang is not a paradise. So many factories in Le Gang are bankrupt or on the verge of bankruptcy. Many of their relatives, friends, and classmates have been laid off.

This made them feel lucky to be able to work at Le Gang, but at the same time, they also felt a little worried. Wouldn't the terrible layoffs also happen to them?

This hidden worry finally exploded in the spring of [-] after brewing for more than a year.

After Lesteel's red-headed documents were issued, many employees who were worried that they would be laid off finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Leather steel is leather steel, not one of those small municipal factories. It still has a human touch.

The "Reduce Staff and Improve Efficiency" team of Lesteel issued the first official document after working overtime to collect basic information on employees of its affiliated companies.

The "[-]" plan was officially implemented.

All employees in the agencies, enterprises, schools, and hospitals under Legang who have served for 30 years and are over 50 years old can retire early.

Many people know that "[-]" is actually the first step in the trend of downsizing and increasing efficiency.

After these qualified personnel retire and return home, many jobs will be lost, and more young people will come to the front line.It is equivalent to a major personnel adjustment and a major reshuffle.

This is the second step in reducing staff and increasing efficiency.

After these jobs were fixed, the real wave of layoffs began.

In any case, Le Gang's approach is gentler and more acceptable to employees than that of Ge'an Municipal Enterprises.

One day in late April, Lin Dajun came out of the factory director's office and returned to his workshop office in despair. He made a cup of tea with cold water and took a sip before he realized something was wrong.

He wanted to smoke, but the hand holding the lighter was shaking so hard that he finally lit his eyes. After just one puff, two lines of old tears flowed out. Lin Dajun covered his mouth, but his whimpering still filtered through his fingers. The seams came out.

Afraid of being seen, he quickly walked to a hidden corner of the workshop, where he cried heartily.

He entered the factory at the age of 53. He spent his youth and middle age in the steelmaking factory. His youth, his life, and even his love, his children were dedicated to leather steel.

He originally thought he would die here, but unexpectedly one day, the factory director called him over and told him that he was getting older and wanted him to retire early.

How could Lin Dajun accept it?

He has become accustomed to riding his [-]-year-old bicycle, carrying a faux-leather handbag with patent leather worn off, setting off from home when the seven o'clock flute plays, following the long queue of bicycles to go to the factory, drinking salt soda when he is thirsty, and drinking salt soda when he is hungry. Eat in the cafeteria, go to Le Gang's hospital when you're sick...

35 years like a day.

Le Gang is his home, and all his life has been clearly arranged, even benefiting the next generation.His children went to Legang's nursery school and kindergarten, and his daughter went to Legang's technical secondary school...

There were leather steel pipes throughout life, old age, sickness and death, but all this came to an abrupt end today.

Le Gang doesn't want him anymore, he's old.

Lin Dajun couldn't accept this reality.

******

At 04:30 in the afternoon, Li Gang came out of the steelmaking workshop. Now he is the director of the steelmaking workshop.

Li Gang went to the bathhouse as usual, soaked in the large pool for three minutes, came out and applied soap once, and after rinsing, the bath was considered complete.

Li Gang changed his clothes, came to the door of the bathhouse, and lit a cigarette.

Every day he would wait here for Lin Dajun to get off work. He would drive his Lada and take his father-in-law to the oxygen plant to pick up Lin Jingjing, and the three of them would go home together.

But after smoking a cigarette, Lin Dajun was still nowhere to be seen, and Li Gang felt a little strange.

My father-in-law has a strong sense of time. He has never been late or left early for so many years at work. What happened today?

Li Gang walked towards the workshop where his father-in-law worked. As soon as he entered the workshop office, he saw his father-in-law sitting alone in a chair. He didn't know what he was thinking.

"Dad, go home." Li Gang's shout woke up Lin Dajun, and he followed Li Gang out of the workshop without saying a word.

The dinner was very sumptuous. Lin Xiufen stewed a chicken, stewed two yellow croakers, made a roasted eggplant, and mixed a bean sprouts and vermicelli as a cold dish.

There are chickens and fish, meat and vegetables.

But Lin Dajun had no appetite at all, and he didn't even drink. He only took two bites of cold dishes, then put down his chopsticks and walked out of the house.

From the time he entered to the time he left, he didn't say a word, and he didn't even pay attention to his grandson Xiaoan.

As soon as Lin Dajun left, the few people in the family looked at each other. In fact, they all knew the reason for Lin Dajun's depression.

However, "[-]"'s early retirement was an order from the large leather steel company, and they had no choice.

"I'll call Zhiyuan, he must have something." Lin Jingping got up and called his brother.

"Zhiyuan, our dad is unhappy..." Lin Jingping explained the cause and effect, "You also know that our dad values ​​the factory as big as the sky. Now that he is asked to retire, he will definitely not be able to accept it. You have many options. Think carefully about how to persuade Dad."

"Okay, sister, leave it to me!" Lin Zhiyuan thought for a while and called Su Jin.

Soon, Su Jin called back, and Lin Zhiyuan told her about his father, "Xiao Jin, my dad listens to Grandpa Su the most. If Grandpa Su can help persuade me, my dad will definitely be able to get out of this unhappy period as soon as possible." Adaptation period."

Su Jin immediately said that after dinner, he would take his grandfather to see Lin Dajun.

Su Qiancheng was also very concerned when he heard about this, "I understand Dajun's mood. When I first retired, I was also very uncomfortable with it. Let's go over and have a look later. I will try to persuade him, but will this matter finally go away?" How long it takes to come out depends on him."

After the grandfather and grandson had dinner, Su Jin drove the white Land Cruiser and took his grandfather to the Lin family.

Lin Dajun was sitting by the flower bed downstairs, smoking alone.

Even though it was already dark, he didn't want to go upstairs.

As soon as Su Qiancheng arrived, Lin Dajun stood up in shock, "Mr. Su, why are you here?"

Su Qiancheng did not answer him, but talked about another thing, "Dajun, after the Chinese New Year this year, Li Zhenshan came to see me several times. The leather steel now is no longer the leather steel more than ten years ago. The burden on Lesteel is too heavy, with 40 employees. The low production efficiency is like a mountain, which will crush Lesteel sooner or later. When Zhenshan came to me, he said something that impressed me deeply. He said, Minister Su, if Without reform, Legang will definitely be slowly dragged to death, but if the pace of reform is too great, Legang employees will not be able to bear it, and many families will fall into poverty, and the saliva of these employees alone will drown them."

Su Qiancheng turned his face and looked at Lin Dajun, "Dajun, what would you do if you were sitting in Zhenshan's position?"

Lin Dajun silently lit another cigarette, "Mr. Su, in fact, I understand the truth. I also know that the reason for those of us who are approaching our age to retire early is to make room for the young people. If we retire, we will There will be a lot of people avoiding being laid off."

Lin Dajun raised his head, and two lines of bright tears appeared on his face in the darkness, "Mr. Su, I was discharged from the army in 57 and entered Legang. I took a carriage from Tangmazhai to Ge'an alone with my luggage on my back, and entered the factory first. I worked as an apprentice and later as a master. I spent most of my life in the steel rolling mill, and I couldn't bear to let it go!"
