Respectfully

In December, there were several heavy snowfalls in Guanbei, and the north wind was bitingly cold. The passers-by on the road were all wearing thick cotton-padded jackets and cotton caps, and they were in a hurry.

Li Jinyan added two more clothes, put on a cloak and scarf, and sat in the car, but still felt cold.

Young Master Lou Er who was in the same car added a cloak over the cotton coat, a hat, earmuffs and a scarf, and he refused to be wrapped into a ball again.

The car drove to Zidi Primary School. Before getting out of the car, Little Leopard said, "Brother Yan, just ask Uncle Wang to pick me up this afternoon."

After the words fell, without waiting for Li Jinyan to answer, he opened the car door and walked out.

Li Jinyan wanted to ask what was going on, but was "blown" back into the car by the oncoming north wind. He sneezed twice, and could only watch Lou Ershao striding forward.

It must be admitted that the little leopard who has started to draw is more and more "elegant" like Marshal Lou.

The sky started to snow again, Li Jinyan tightened the cloak on his body, not in the mood to go to the factory, and asked the driver to drive the car directly back to the master's mansion.

Because of the serious illness in the third year of the Republic of China, Li Jinyan's hands and feet were cold every winter.After Dr. Liu saw it, he said that his body was injured and he had to take care of it slowly, and he prescribed several nourishing prescriptions.

A few years ago, Mrs. Lou was in the capital, and the second wife also lived together, so no one looked at him.When the situation got better, Li Jinyan got impatient and drank those tonic soups again. It was okay once or twice, but after a long time, the taste was really beyond the reach of ordinary people.Young Marshal Lou is fighting outside, and no one can "control" him.Both last year and the year before last were fine, but I didn't expect that this year would be winter. Li Jinyan caught a cold and was directly "caught" by Mrs. Lou.

Not only did Li Jinyan escape, but Young Marshal Lou was also called in for a good training.

Mrs. Lou's tone was gentle, not harsh, but Li Jinyan didn't dare to take a breath.

"Just because you are young, you neglect to take care of yourself. What do you say when you are a doctor? You child, what can I say about you? You don't know your own body?"

When Mrs. Lou said something, Li Jinyan's head bowed a little, and after he said it, he was completely "confessed".

As soon as Young Marshal Lou called out to his mother, Mrs. Lou glared at him.

"And you, I'll talk to you later!"

Master Lou fell silent.

Li Jinyan sneaked a peek, and finally found out that the most powerful person in the Lou family is not the commander-in-chief or the young commander-in-chief, Mrs. Lou is right...

In the end, Mrs. Lou sent someone to invite Dr. Liu to diagnose Li Jinyan's pulse again and prescribe a prescription.Instruct the people below to serve Li Jinyan a drink on time every day.

"I'll see who dares to be disobedient."

At the time when he drank the tonic soup, Li Jinyan’s anger rose. Li Jinyan still remembers it vividly. At first, he wanted to “struggle”, saying that he just caught a cold and he would be fine in a few days. In the throat.

Since then, Li Sanshao has restarted his tonic career.

After the second lady learned about it, she smiled and said: "When I told you earlier, you always said you were fine, that's how it should be! If you are still disobedient, mother will feed you herself."

Feed yourself?

Li Sanshao's forehead began to sweat, and the second lady's "Hello" was synonymous with "Guan".

Under the high pressure of the two wives, Li Jinyan is just Sun Houzi who was crushed under Wuzhi Mountain, and it is difficult to turn over.

Back at the Marshal's Mansion, Li Jinyan trotted all the way after getting off the car, not caring about his image, it was indeed too cold.

Mrs. Lou was playing cards with several concubines. When she saw Li Jinyan, the first sentence she said was "I'm back", and the second sentence was to ask the kitchen to bring up the boiled soup.

"Drink it while it's hot to drive away the cold."

Li Jinyan took the porcelain bowl, without saying a word, and finished drinking with his head up. Experience told him that stretching and shrinking the neck is a knife, so it is better to be more straightforward.

After drinking the soup, Li Jinyan was released.

The earth dragon was burning in the room, giving it a warm feeling.

The taste of tonic soup still seemed to remain in his mouth, but his body gradually warmed up.Li Jinyan took off the outer gown, moved the documents on the table to the bed, covered his legs with a blanket, and started to "work".

Li Jinyan's brush calligraphy is already very good. Occasionally, when the mood comes, he will pick up the brush to sign the document.But most of the time I am still used to using a pen.

Near the end of the year, Lou's Commercial Group has received several large orders, plus the factories in Soviet Russia and Belarus, and the expansion of business in the United States. Shifts, four shifts, skilled workers and master craftsmen are the most tiring, but no one complains, and the words "black-hearted capitalists" have never appeared again, because the salaries and benefits given by the factory are indeed No other factory can compare.

The most notable manifestation is that the migrant workers, including Europeans, all turned red with envy when they learned the basic monthly salary of an ordinary worker in a domestic chemical factory.Every time a factory under Lou's Commercial Group recruits workers, the applicants are overwhelmed.

Jobs that don’t have much technical content, not counting factory benefits, cost more than a dozen dollars a month. As the length of service increases, wages will increase year by year.Not to mention technical jobs.

In the beginning, there were a few small-scale strikes by those who lacked support. But today is different, there is a trade union, and there are various comprehensive rules and laws. Li Jinyan does not need to come forward in person. Reporters with breaking news can't open their eyes and talk nonsense.

Less wages?Not to mention the factories run by the Chinese, compared to the factories invested by foreigners in China, or even the factories in Europe and the United States, Li Jinyan’s wages are generous enough.

Long working hours?This is indeed a reality, but the factory also strictly stipulates the rest time. If workers are not willing to work overtime, they will not be forced to work. However, overtime pay will be cancelled, and wages and benefits will not be reduced.

In addition to the above two, what else can be proposed?

There are two working meals a day, dinner and supper for overtime work, a lot of overtime pay, and various standard benefits. Even the reporters who came to interview felt that this work was a bit baffling.

Most shook their heads at what the strikers were demanding.

45 yuan a month is not a lot. The master craftsmen in the factory can basically get this amount, but they have only been in the factory for less than a few months, and they have to get the same wages as the master craftsmen. Isn't it a little thoughtless?

Do a job, get a wage.

How much effort, how much reward.

God rewards those who work hard and do things down-to-earth, this is the truth passed down from the elders.

Because the demands of the strikers were outrageous and there were not many responders, only one or two newspapers reported on them. The words were completely different from the previous reports on the strikes in British-owned factories in Shanghai.

The strike at a British-owned spinning mill in Shanghai was caused by a female worker who was suspected of stealing and was forcibly searched without any real evidence.Afterwards, it turned out that the female worker was wronged, but the factory didn't show any sign of apology, and instead fired the female worker for an unfounded reason.

The local trade union came forward and demanded that the management of the spinning mill apologize to the female workers and compensate certain losses.

The other party never responded.

Upon hearing the news, the Shanghai Municipal Government also sent people to negotiate with the mill, but to no avail.

The Huaxia manager hired by the spinning mill claimed that there were sufficient reasons for firing the female worker, and he did not admit to the previous unreasonable body search, but the actual owner of the spinning mill never showed up.

During this period, various newspapers in Shanghai have been tracking and reporting, but the city government failed to come forward, which completely aroused the anger of the people.

The union leaders decided to go on strike!

At first, it was only a British-funded spinning mill, and then gradually expanded to include all British-funded enterprises and factories, which were affected.The Chinese sailors of several British-funded shipping companies in Shanghai refused to go to sea in solidarity with the female workers in the spinning mill.

The goods were piled up at the dock, and the daily loss was increasing. In order to reduce the loss, the owner of the goods had to choose another shipping company. The shipping company co-founded by Liao Qiting and the Song family took advantage of the trend and made a lot of money.

The strike lasted for more than two months, until the owner of the British-owned spinning mill personally apologized to the female worker, promised to re-employ her, and compensate her for a loss, and the workers returned to work under the organization of the trade union.

In this strike movement, British-funded enterprises in China suffered the most, especially textile mills and shipping companies, one-third of which went bankrupt during the strike.Although other European companies and American factories were partially affected, there was basically no major damage. On the contrary, profits increased due to the reduction of competitors.

Foreign newspapers also reported on the strike, and international trade union organizations expressed sympathy and support for the strike.The Third International established by Soviet Russia was also very concerned about this. Vladimir made a speech, supporting Chinese workers to unite and fight for their legitimate rights and interests!

Seeing this speech reproduced in the newspaper, Li Jinyan rubbed his chin. Should it be said that Comrade Vladimir's "ideological awareness" has reached a certain level?In his speech, he said "Chinese workers" instead of "workers all over the world". Was it intentional?

Regarding the strike in Shanghai, Li Jinyan didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but the intelligence personnel in Shanghai sent back news that the strike at the cotton mill was accidental, and the shipping company run by the British was involved, but the Song family was behind it.

Attacking opponents while developing oneself is indeed what Song Wu is used to.Thinking about what the British did in China, Song Wu's methods are really nothing.

At least, Huaxia didn't ship opium to Great Britain just because it couldn't make money.

Otherwise, just the "incident" of Ding Zhao's research on anti-spasmodic painkillers is enough to make John Bull look good.

The house was very quiet, and the maids outside the house didn't talk or laugh, but got together and started sewing.

As time passed by, Li Jinyan looked up at the chime clock hanging on the wall, and speeded up his reading of the documents.

Little Leopard said not to pick him up from school, but Li Sanshao didn't agree.

More than half an hour later, Li Jinyan put down his pen, pinched the back of his neck with one hand, stretched his arms a few times, threw off the blanket and got out of bed, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Young Marshal Lou stepped in.

"Young commander, why are you back?"

"..."

Young Marshal Lou stood still and didn't speak. Li Jinyan realized that the question was a bit wrong, twitched the corner of his mouth, and changed the subject, "The school only has half a day of class today. I'll pick up Ruier later, and the young marshal will go with you?"

"..."

"Young commander?"

"I'll go." Young Marshal Lou picked up Li Jinyan and "throwed" him back on the bed, "You stay."

"No, young commander, how do you say that?"

Li Sanshao didn't get a response to his question, and was directly wrapped into a ball by the blanket. Young Marshal Lou propped himself on the bed with one hand, patted Li Jinyan's face, his eyes were dark, and his voice was low, "Stay here."

Looking at each other for two seconds, Li Sanshao nodded honestly.

The chime bell rang just at this time, Li Jinyan moved in the blanket, Young Marshal Lou straightened up, and patted him on the head again, "Be obedient."

Li Sanshao: "..."

Anyway, he is also such an old man, what's the matter with such tone and actions?

In any case, Li Jinyan still failed to meet Lou Er Shao.

On the way when Marshal Lou picks up Er Shao Lou and returns home, the brothers had a short but meaningful conversation.

"Ruier."

"Big brother."

"You told your mother that you want me to pick you up?"

"No."

"..."

"I just said that the weather is cold, brother Yan should not go out."

"well done."

"kindness."

"Continue later."

"Yes."

After the conversation ended, the Lou brothers went home in silence.
