Chapter 34 Family

Although he kept watch on New Year's Eve and didn't fall asleep until after 1:[-] in the morning, Chen Yuanming was still dragged out of bed by his mother early the next morning.

"What time is it, why don't you get up and tidy up!"

Wang Juan quickly spread the two quilts on the bed, and spread a brand new bed cover on top, with a large peony flower pattern, rich and festive, which immediately brightened the whole room.The curtains were hung with magpies on the branches, the light bulbs were replaced with 60-watt headlights, and the whole family put on new clothes and were neatly dressed.This is the first day of the new year, and I have to wait for someone to come to pay New Year's greetings, how can I be sloppy.

Dig out the leftovers from last night, and you will have a hot breakfast. This is not purely for saving, but it is a common practice to pay attention to not using a knife on the first day of the new year, and eating "surplus money".After finishing the meal quickly, he busily put out fruit plates, took out melon seeds and peanuts, and waited for relatives to come to the door.

In L City, there was only one family who came to visit on the first day of the new year, and that was Chen Yuanming's uncle Wang Tao.Sitting on the bed and watching TV, Chen Yuanming couldn't help but look at the door every few minutes. After so many days back, he realized that he wanted to see Yuanyuan, that cousin who used to be gloomy and inferior, more than he imagined.Compared with the numbers in the account, perhaps this is the most intuitive expression of his change in life.

At a quarter past ten, there was a knock on the door, and Chen Yuanming rushed up in three steps at a time, and opened the door.Standing at the door were two children, one big and one small. The boy was about 12 or 3 years old, and the girl was only about 10 years old. Both of them were taken aback when they saw Chen Yuanming. Brother, Happy New Year!" He rushed in.

Being rushed by this half-sized guy, Chen Yuanming almost couldn't stand still. He grabbed the little guy by the collar and handed it to his mother. He turned his head and looked at the little girl with a shy smile at the door.

"Yuanyuan, do you still know me?" Chen Yuanming squatted down slightly, showing a smile.I haven't seen each other for two years, the little girl looks more and more fresh, her eyes are big and round, a pair of willow eyebrows in appropriate shades, red lips and white teeth, and two little knots tied, not to mention how cute she is.

This little guy doesn't seem to be afraid of people, he blinked his big eyes twice, called his cousin sweetly, thought for a while and added a sentence of Happy New Year, he looked carefree, and he didn't have the bangs he remembered The black frame has a dull and gloomy look on his face.Feeling hot all of a sudden, Chen Yuanming reached out and touched the top of the little girl's head, and said softly, "You are happy too."

Not half a minute later, the two adults also entered the house, and the TV was turned on to rebroadcast the Spring Festival Gala. The whole family was eating melon seeds, watching TV, chatting and laughing, so it was lively.I don't know when the topic turned to the little girl. Wang Tao boasted with pride on his face, "Don't look at Yuanyuan as small, but she is strong. At that time, it was so uncomfortable to have another operation. She just didn't cry. She took a break from school for two months. The grades have not dropped, I think this time I will definitely be admitted to the No. [-] middle school!"

The little concubine Sun Jiajia also smiled and said, "Thanks to the help of the second sister's family, we would not know how to pay for Yuanyuan's surgery fee. In the past two years, the efficiency of the factory has improved a little. How about a salary increase, when you have saved enough, you must pay back the money!"

Wang Juan didn't hear this, and she gave way repeatedly, "Look at what my younger siblings said, when the elderly at home were not for your help, we wouldn't have been able to get through it. There is no difficulty in anyone's family, so it doesn't matter." It’s so clear. Besides, this year’s tow factory doesn’t have to be divided into houses. I’m sure the team leader, my younger brother, can also get a set? There are so many places to spend money, so let’s focus on the important things first. Now my Doudou can also I’ve made money, and I really don’t need money to spend.”

Sun Jiajia absolutely loves to hear these words. When they lent money to the second sister's family, they also tightened their belts to live. At that time, they had many conflicts with their husbands.But look at the present, they have not forgotten us even though they are prosperous, they are serious relatives!Thinking about it, he quickly grabbed a lot of melon seeds and put them in the hands of Chen Yuanming who was teasing the little girl. "That's right, Doudou is still very good! When I went out to work, who would have thought that the situation would become like this. Our country's leaders have said that we have to go to sea and open up. Only people with the vision of Doudou can make money. "

There were compliments on the left and right, and Chen Yuanming picked up the melon seeds with a smile and started nibbling.It's really different. Compared with the conservative social atmosphere in 91, the Southern Tour is like a real spring breeze, which makes this country start to sprout and stir.According to their parents, dozens of people resigned from the factory and went to the sea this year. The Guangzhou market is no longer a lonely department store, but surrounded by rows of small shops. For small stalls, it seems that overnight the whole people have the enthusiasm for doing business, and they also start to run towards the beautiful "money path".

It’s just that although this kind of change has changed some people, more people are still content with the status quo. The state-owned enterprises in this era are like giant umbrellas, covering the eyes of most people and making them satisfied with food and clothing.It is luck and strength to get rich first and then rich, but in the final analysis it is courage and vision.However, no matter whether it is my parents or my uncle's family, they still don't have such conditions...

Putting down the melon seeds in his hand, without interrupting the lively chat between his mother and his sister-in-law, Chen Yuanming sat down beside his uncle with a smile, "Uncle, the factory has been doing well in the past two years, right? You've been promoted and you're far away from making a fortune. Not far away."

Wang Tao replied with a smile, "Don't listen to your sister-in-law's nonsense. In the past two years, the profits of several branches have been relatively good. For unpopular departments like ours, it would be good if they can maintain their profits." He made a little voice, "But I heard the word from the higher-ups that the factory wants to prepare for the truck project in the past two years, and the higher-ups are determined to take over this matter. If it can be done, then there will be a bright future."

However, Chen Yuanming frowned slightly. At present, domestic trucks have become divided into divisions. Mature models such as Dongfeng, Jiefang, and Steyr already have a considerable market share. Shaanxi Automobile, Sinotruk, Xugong, etc. And other manufacturers are ready to go, these factories will flourish in the next 20 years, swallowing the entire Chinese freight market.Trucks are a business that can make a lot of money, but he has run freight in his previous life, and he is a native of L city. The backwardness of the management mode will cause the drag factory to fall into a slump in the next ten years, and it will be difficult to turn around.

Entering the truck project at this time is undoubtedly putting your own future on it.I remember that my uncle in the previous life finally stopped at the position of the workshop director of the ductile iron branch factory, and couldn't move any further. Is it because of this reason?However, thinking about it, no one would listen to pouring cold water at this time, Chen Yuanming smiled.

"That's a good idea, but brother-in-law, your ductile iron branch factory is not as good as the installed machine or diesel engine branch factory. No matter what kind of car you make, you can't do without the core? Now the top is starting to pull factions. If the truck project is really independent An automobile branch, uncle, are you sure you can enter the management sequence of the new branch?"

Wang Tao was taken aback when he said this, yes, he has never thought about this issue carefully, and now there are many people who walk here and try their best to get closer to this side, so he just patronizes the near-water tower, without looking at his own position !Based on his qualifications and network, his points are really not enough.When the time comes to enter the new branch factory, it will still be a small dispatch, so what is the amount?

But I can't tell my nephew about this, Wang Tao smiled, "Look at what you said, this matter is not yet settled, so why worry so much first. Let's just know what's going on."

Chen Yuanming smiled, and stopped talking too much, it is enough to know some things in his heart.As long as my uncle has a little bit of thought, can go upstream, pick himself out of the new branch factory, and enter the assembly or power department, then he will not be implicated by the failure of the subsequent project.In the trailer factory, assembly and power are the real core departments, and they are also promising profitable departments. If it can become bigger and stronger, it is not impossible to branch out into a new factory.The influence of Tuochang in the whole of China in the early years can be counted, but its business model has limited its growth, but in terms of connotation and heritage, it will not lose to any emerging companies.

"Doudou, don't just talk about your uncle." Sun Jiajia over there laughed and joked, "Your father can be regarded as a technical model. He has worked hard in the factory for so long, and he is still an ordinary person. You really can’t just bury your head and work hard, you have to follow the leader closely and establish a good relationship with the higher-ups. Is my Taozi really that strong in technology? I don’t think so, it’s better to be able to do something!”

Wang Juan smiled awkwardly, looked at her husband, and sighed softly.She didn't know that there were countless people who entered the factory at the same time as team leaders and section chiefs, and there were not a few of them mixed up as directors. But her husband's stupid mouth, it's good not to offend others, and he will please them.

Chen Yuanming also looked at his father who was sitting aside, showing some embarrassment.Since I can remember, my father has been working overtime, pouring almost all his enthusiasm into his work, working hard from morning to night, and never complaining about being tired.The sense of responsibility and the burden of the family made him hone his skills extremely purely, just to get more overtime subsidies.However, his rural background and lack of academic qualifications made this man lose his basic self-confidence, and he also put his full expectations and unwillingness on his son, causing perennial tension in the relationship between father and son.

If my father can also take this step and set foot on a higher position, will the depression in his heart be cleared up?

Thinking of this, Chen Yuanming smiled, "Yes, Dad, our family is not short of money now, don't keep thinking about working overtime, it's better to go out of your way. Buy some gifts for the New Year and visit the director of the branch factory, or find a way to get along with him. The workshop director has a relationship, there is always a need for favors, and there is no harm in having more contacts."

These words immediately received the unanimous approval of my brother-in-law and my sister-in-law.Hearing the support from her younger brother and younger siblings, even Wang Juan's heart warmed up. Looking at her husband who was still struggling, she secretly made a decision in her heart.That's right, it's just a gift, a New Year's greeting, and nothing bad will happen. Now their family is rich, but is money enough?She also wants to live in a bigger house and live a better life!

At noon, the family had lunch in a small room, hot traditional stew, fried octopus, meatballs, fried meat slices, mushrooms and tofu in one pot, sprinkled with thick pepper, poured Add some vinegar, hot and sour, not to mention how beautiful it is!The guests and the host had a good meal, and the cousins ​​and sisters each got a big red envelope of up to 50 yuan. The joyful atmosphere has not dissipated.

Early the next morning, Wang Juan dragged Chen Jianhua out of the house, took Wuliangye and Ruanzhonghua brought back by her son, and bought two large bags of fruit, and went to the leader's house to celebrate the New Year together.The couple may not understand the value of the gift they took, but how could the recipient not.When they went home that day, the couple both had happy smiles, and they seemed to have received a lot of courtesy.Chen Yuanming didn't say much, but just distributed some hidden goods to let his parents continue to work hard.

That night, when he finally lay down on the bed after working hard for two days, Chen Yuanming's lingering anxiety seemed to have eased a lot.Although due to various reasons, he can't do much for his family now, but step by step, it's a long way!

Thinking of the little girl who was coquettish and sweetly smiling beside him, Chen Yuanming showed a determined smile...
