Past events in the machine tool shop

Wu Weiran stepped into the gate of the Haicheng Welfare Institute, and saw the photos of the sponsors hanging on the wall in the lobby of the main office building. Zhai Yansheng was hung in a conspicuous place. The photos probably hadn't been changed for many years, and they were faintly blurred. Huang, the introduction below is also the same old one.

Wu Weiran stood and watched for a while, and then went upstairs. He went to the head of the orphanage and explained his purpose. Yu returned to the orphanage and moved out of his household registration, which is considered to have completely left the orphanage.

Wu Weiran was shocked, he didn't expect Cheng Yu's departure to be so thorough, all the traces of his existence and the place that he could barely call home failed to keep him.

Wu Weiran realized that finding Cheng Yu had really become a protracted battle, so he took a long vacation with the company and decided to go back to Yuncheng first.

After three years of absence, Yuncheng has really turned upside down. The most notable change is that Yuncheng actually built an airport, which was built in the north of Beicheng District.The airport is not big, and there are not too many daily flights. Naturally, the throughput cannot catch up with Jiangcheng Airport in the provincial capital, but as a means of transportation, it is much more convenient than before.

Wu Weiran came out of Yuncheng Airport and left by car. The taxi driver asked Wu Weiran where he was going. Wu Weiran thought for a long time and said, "Let's go to Chengbei Industrial Park."

The driver laughed and said, "Sir, you haven't been to Yuncheng for several years. Now there is no Chengbei Industrial Zone. Two factories can't continue to operate and filed for bankruptcy. Now only the Jinsheng family is left."

Wu Weiran didn't expect it to be like this. He sighed with regret, and the driver smiled again: "Don't make such an expression, after the two factories went bankrupt, they were bought and jointly rebuilt, and now they have been transformed into a characteristic cultural and handicraft industry. Since last year, people have come here to hold exhibitions almost every month, and now the employees there are living a much better life than Jinsheng.”

Wu Weiran was surprised: "Isn't it bankrupt?"

The driver said: "Bankruptcy, the factory can't pay compensation, so we have to use the factory building to pay off the debt, and convert the factory building to the workers according to the length of service. The original meaning is to convert it into land. If it is demolished in the future, it will be compensated to the workers. As a result, Haicheng The boss who came here said that there is no need to demolish and renovate directly on the spot. Now the shops inside are all converted from the former factory buildings, and the land is in the hands of the workers. The rent is collected every year. Isn’t it much easier to earn than Jinsheng as a worker?”

After a while the taxi stopped in front of Jinshengmen, Wu Weiran paid the money and got out of the car, only to find that Jinsheng also changed the gate, the original ordinary iron gate and iron signboard were now replaced by fashionable retractable doors and landscape stones, a huge landscape stone It is placed in the middle, with the full name of the factory engraved on it, and entry and exit are much stricter than before.

Just as Wu Weiran was standing at the door, a guard poked his head out and said, "Hey! Section Chief Wu! Is that you? I didn't even dare to recognize it just now!"

Wu Weiran can no longer remember who the doorman is. In less than a year in the factory, he has made friends with too many people, and there are too many people who have made friends with him. After leaving for three years, most of them have been forgotten. .

But Wu Weiran still smiled and said, "Yes, it's me, you still remember me."

The guard opened the door for Wu Weiran, welcomed him into the guard room, and said, "Then how can I forget? Are you coming back for something?"

Wu Weiran was stunned for a moment before replying: "Ah, there is something wrong, and I want to come back to see how everyone is doing."

The guard led Wu Weiran to the registration office, and said, "Then, Section Chief Wu, please register first. The factory has also strictly enforced safety production in the past two years. Anyone who comes here must register, and non-factory employees are not allowed to enter production." District, it is said that it needs to be standardized and refined, so we can only follow suit."

Wu Weiran said that he would not enter the production area, then registered, entered the factory, and then remembered, and asked: "Can you still walk in the back alley now?"

The doorman laughed and said, "I saw that you haven't come back for a long time. You can walk if you can, but now there are few people going there. A few years ago, the city attracted business and built a five-story building at the intersection in front of us. Gao’s big shopping mall has everything in it, and more than half of the shops on the back alley have moved into the mall, and now only a few small supermarkets are still open.”

Wu Weiran asked again: "What about the dormitory? Is the dormitory still there?"

The doorman smiled and said, "Yes, but there are not many people living there, and the residential area behind it is built along with the shopping mall. It is said that there are large and small single-family apartments. The environment inside is good, and the rent is low. It’s not high, and it’s close to shopping malls, so it’s convenient to eat, drink and have fun, so many young people have moved there.”

Wu Weiran nodded, and then walked into the factory.In the past, I always felt that the development of Yuncheng was too slow, and it seemed to be a century behind compared with the outside world. But now, once the horsepower is turned on, Wu Weiran realized that it took only a few years for Yuncheng to catch up with the pace of the outside world. .Even if the core and humanistic quality can't keep up, the external hardware is easy to copy.

In the past, Nancheng District felt prosperous and prosperous, but now walking in Beicheng District, there is no longer that old feeling. However, within three years, the peaceful and quiet factory life has been broken, and young people have gone outside. The vitality became more and more deserted.

Wu Weiran walked to the downstairs of the dormitory, greeted the aunt in the mail room, exchanged some pleasantries, and then asked: "Auntie, is the dormitory I used to live in now?"

The aunt thought for a while, and then asked: "You are in No. 217, right? Get out, this building is almost empty."

Wu Weiran went upstairs and entered the dormitory, and found that the furniture he and Cheng Yu had scavenged in the second-hand market before were still in the same place, a thick layer of dust had accumulated on the stove, and the pots and pans were stacked together .

The aunt in the mail room followed Wu Weiran upstairs, and sighed when she saw this: "I remember you haven't lived for long, your roommate has also moved away, and before leaving, I mentioned all the rice noodles and oil you haven't finished eating. Here I am, let me watch and dispose of it, so as not to be infested with insects after being placed in the dormitory for a long time. I originally thought that when the new construction period came and new employees came, I could arrange them in, but I didn’t expect that everyone would not want to live again In the dormitory."

Wu Weiran turned around abruptly and asked, "Has he been back? When?"

The aunt in the mail room thought for a while, and said: "It was also three years ago. At that time, the factory said that you were engaged. I even joked with him and asked him if he came back specially to attend your engagement banquet. Why, you didn't see each other?" Are you there?"

Wu Weiran smiled with difficulty and said, "No, some things were delayed in the middle."

There was no trace of Cheng Yu, Wu Weiran looked around the dormitory and left. Before leaving, he raised his eyes and saw the thread on the wall of the dormitory, which was left by him when he was enthusiastically pulling the network cable in the dormitory. Shi originally thought that he could stay with Cheng Yu forever in this small dormitory, but then many accidents happened, and even the final move was made by his parents on his behalf.

Wu Weiran can imagine how Cheng Yu felt when he returned to the dormitory and saw such a scene of people going to the empty building. He had experienced this feeling before, but as soon as he thought of Cheng Yu's loneliness and enduring the rumors, and then quickly Wu Weiran felt pain after leaving Yuncheng.This was completely different from the pain he felt when he suddenly broke through Cheng Yu and Zhai Yansheng that day. He was filled with remorse, but there was nothing he could do.

Wu Weiran came out of the dormitory, just in time to get off work at noon, and there was no trace of Cheng Yu, Wu Weiran planned to leave, but unexpectedly ran into Zhang Yongzhong who was waiting downstairs in the dormitory.

Zhang Yongzhong leaned against the wall, and when he saw him coming out, he whistled at him, then smiled and said, "Section Chief Wu, why did you come back so quietly and have a meal together?"

Zhang Yongzhong specially came to block people, but Wu Weiran couldn't refuse, so he went to the restaurant outside with him. On the way, Zhang Yongzhong explained to Wu Weiran why he was able to block him.Two years ago, Zhang Yongzhong was transferred to the security department, because he was already "good" in this field, and he quickly became successful. Just when the deputy chief of the security department retired, and the factory wanted to promote young cadres, Zhang Yongzhong At a young age, he filled the vacancy of the deputy section chief.

The guard recognized Wu Weiran at the factory gate, turned around and reported to his leader Zhang Yongzhong, and Zhang Yongzhong came to block Wu Weiran.Now he is also a leader at the first level of section chief, and he finally shows off in front of Wu Weiran.

"I heard that you have been doing business in Haicheng these years, and it seems that you have gained a lot!" Zhang Yongzhong said.

Wu Weiran smiled and said, "Eat for dinner."

Zhang Yongzhong snorted and said, "Section Chief Wu, I'm bothered by your serious appearance. If you make money, you will make money. If you get rich, you will get rich. What are you doing under the covers?"

Wu Weiran bowed his head to acknowledge Zhang Yongzhong's criticism, and then recounted the past with him, asking him about the situation in the factory in the past few years.Zhang Yongzhong shook his head and said: "That's it, you can't make a fortune, but you won't starve to death either."

Wu Weiran sighed: "I really didn't expect you to stay in the factory all the time. I thought you would run away after two days of work."

Zhang Yongzhong smiled: "I also think so. It's not that my buddies fell in love later and had a career, so they stayed. But in the end, they are still not as chic as you and Cheng Yu, and they left as soon as they said it."

When Wu Weiran heard Cheng Yu's name, his heart froze, and he forced a smile to chat with Zhang Yongzhong: "Are you still in love, with the people in the factory?"

Zhang Yongzhong felt complacent, and said with a smile: "You also know this person, Li Qian from the old Li family." Facing Wu Weiran's surprised eyes, Zhang Yongzhong said: "Speaking of which, you are still our matchmaker. At that time, you were engaged. That Song Haoyue who has always liked you was so sad that Li Qian was a good friend in the same department as her, so she took Song Haoyue to Yuecheng with a few colleagues during the holidays to relax, but Song Haoyue was relieved, Li Qian met in Yuecheng Cheng Yu, what Cheng Yu said meant that he would never go back to Yuncheng again, and Li Qian was so sad when she came back, so I took the opportunity to take the initiative, hehe."

Wu Weiran's head buzzed, and he almost stood up, but finally restrained himself, and asked excitedly, "Cheng Yu is in Yuecheng?"

Zhang Yongzhong nodded and said, "Yes, Li Qian and the others met by chance when they opened a store in Yuecheng."

Wu Weiran wanted to ask Zhang Yongzhong what store it was and where it was, but then thought of Li Qian's charming thoughts about Cheng Yu, and it would be bad to mention it in front of Zhang Yongzhong, so she held back.But his mind was already drifting away, thinking that Cheng Yu was in Yuecheng, he couldn't help thinking about leaving immediately.

But Zhang Yongzhong in front of him was still rambling about his love history with Li Qian: "Well, I actually fell in love with Li Qian a long time ago, but at that time Li Qian was full of Cheng Yu in her heart, how inferior I was in front of Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu was good-looking and gentle, and then he left, so I seized the opportunity, but because of this, Fu Huasheng hated me, otherwise I wouldn't have applied from the machine tool workshop Transferred out to the security department, but do you think it's my fault, Fu Huasheng made a fuss on his own, so can chasing girls talk about first come, first served like eating in a cafeteria?"

Wu Weiran forced a smile and said, "You're right." Then he stood up and said, "Thank you for today, but I have something urgent right now, so I have to go to the airport quickly. I'll go back to Yuncheng if I have a chance. Get together again, and you can find me directly in Haicheng!"
