Small Shop Owner in the 1960s

The house was quiet outside. In order to celebrate the first day of staying in the new house, Xu Nannan bought some lo-mei and cut the pork back for a delicious meal.

Now I live outside with Xiaoman, and I have a source of salary. If I want to buy something in the future, I don’t have to worry about outsiders or worry about Xiaoman’s side. As for more precautions, Xu Nannan ignored it. If it is not to be suspected, I will be cautious at all times, and I will be too aggrieved.

After a good meal, the two sisters lay on the soft bed. They sighed comfortably.

Xu Xiaoman said, "Sister, is it really okay to live in this house? I don't think Sister Wu Qing is very happy."

"If people are happy or not, we don't care. The important thing is that we live comfortably. As long as we haven't done anything harmful, we have a clear conscience."

Xu Nannan would not listen to Wu Qing's words at all. She knew that in this era, some activists sacrificed their own personal interests to obtain honors. For example, Xu Jiansheng had a couple and did not raise children, but raised his nephews and nieces so well. Isn't it also for a little fame? But Xu Nannan felt that he couldn't do it.

From scratch, she earned a little bit of it. Maybe her luck was in it, and she also struggled for it. If others want it, fight for it on her own, and it doesn't make sense to let her give in vain. For example, Wu Qing said, let her live in a single dormitory and let her out of the house. She would only do this kind of thing when her mind was squeezed by the door.

"Nannan, I heard that you have a house, really?"

The next day, as soon as Xu Nannan arrived at the mining committee, someone approached her and asked.

"What are you asking, I have something to say with Nan Nan." Zhu Fang walked over, stopped the people, and took Xu Nannan to the outside to whisper.

Once outside, Zhu Fang frowned. "You were not in the dormitory last night. Jiang Lili didn't ask when she came back. She was very happy. Then Wu Qing didn't know what was wrong, she suddenly asked when he was going to you. Let’s take a look at home and say that you have a house, and we will have a place to move around during our holidays. I made a compelling hint to her, she just didn’t see it. No, Jiang Lili went to the Mining Committee early in the morning. Let’s talk about it, and the leader told me to divide the house."

When Zhu Fang talks about Wu Qing, he is very angry. When Xu Nannan was eating yesterday, he told him not to advertise in the mine. They are not ignorant people, although this house is Nan Nan's own, they can't resist the jealousy of some people. When the time comes, it is disgusting to say something bad and do something embarrassing. As a result, Wu Qing even said it in person. If Jiang Lili was not in the dormitory, she would have better thoughts. The two were happily in private and didn't get in the way. But she knew what Jiang Lili was, and she had always had an opinion about Nan Nan, and she said in front of her, didn't this intentionally embarrass Nan Nan?

"Let me tell you, I have already applied to change the dormitory, not living with them, it's boring, really boring." Zhu Fang felt angry too.

Xu Nannan's heart sank when he heard these things, but it didn't have much impact. It's just that Wu Qing has been completely classified as a correspondent.

"I also looked away. She usually looks honest and shy, and she is often bullied by Jiang Lili. I thought she was a very simple person, but I didn't expect this to happen. I want to say that she didn't mean it. I really don’t believe it. During the day, I said that my house shouldn’t be kept, and at night I said that I would play with me during the holiday. Isn’t this a self-talking? It seems that it was me last time. I thought of the wrong person again."

Zhu Fang widened his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Last time I took the exam. I entered the exam room and found out that my pen was broken. If I hadn't had spare parts, I wouldn't be able to take the exam. I thought it was Jiang Lili who did it, so I didn't want to make trouble with her. I didn't say, now it seems that Jiang Lili is not alone in the problem."

Xu Nannan couldn't help but sigh, he still underestimated human nature. Especially human nature at this time. She came to this era and encountered many bad people. For example, the old Xu family didn't have a good thing. But there are many good people. Whether it's the people in Xujiacun who helped her, or the two elders in the Yu family, but also Uncle Wei, Director Zhu, and Fang Zhu. Regardless of who she is, at least she has nothing to say. So she still had more thoughts in her heart. She felt that although there were some distortions in human nature in this era, there were still more good people.

Unexpectedly, it's gone.

"This, isn't it, Wu Qing can even do this thing?" Zhu Fang heard it, and thought it was weird. It used to be Jiang Lili and Nan Nan. She also felt that Jiang Lili had a bad temper, couldn't tolerate people, and didn't get along well. Now when Xu Nannan talked about what Wu Qing did, I suddenly felt goose bumps. In a dormitory, she didn't find that these people were hiding traitors. "No, I have to move as soon as possible. To be as you said, I will have to pay the number of people if I am sold."

Zhu Fang finished speaking with a heartbeat, and then said, "Then what are you going to do about this matter, now the mining committee has spread it."

Xu Nannan's expression remained as usual, "I will do what I should do, unless they grab it, or I will definitely not let go." She was really not afraid of this. Robbery is impossible. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, many public properties were confiscated, but now that time has passed. Unless the county government comes forward to take it back strongly, otherwise the mine has no right to let her give up the house.

"It is impossible to rob, and the leaders of the mining committee are not confused. Your house is not originally owned by the mine. If you don’t take it out, the mine cannot be robbed. This is illegal and infringes on the interests of the people. This is the old one. The matter of the social bureaucratic landlord. That is, there must be someone in the mine who will embarrass you." Zhu Fang reminded.

In the morning, the Mining Committee held a meeting with several new employees and asked about their recent work. As Zhu Fang said, no one of the leaders of the mining committee approached Xu Nannan to ask about the house, and it seemed that he didn't intend to take care of it.

The mine manager Gao Yanshan listened to the report and was quite satisfied. The quality of this group of new workers is still very high. Some are able to speak well, some are practical and willing to work, and some have a relatively good pen.

"You have been here for a while, do you dare to think about it?"

Wu Jian stood up immediately with a solemn expression, "Report, I have an idea."

Seeing someone speaking, the senior mine manager was very happy and asked him to speak.

Wu Jian glanced at Xu Nannan, "As a member of the trade union, we must ensure the interests of the workers. Comrade Jiang Lili, a worker in the cafeteria, came to us this morning and gave us a feedback."

When other people heard him, their expressions changed slightly. Xu Nannan frowned and looked at Wu Jian with a nervous look on his face.

"Comrade Jiang Lili said that the housing in the mine is now difficult. She and her partner are still not married because of the house. She was worried about the difficulties in the mine, so she didn't mention it. But she found out yesterday that someone was alone. We live in a small room. Comrades, we are all simple people in the mine. How many people worry about the house, and they can’t even get married. Several generations are crowded in one room. So many people worry about the house, but some people live. Little two, what kind of psychology is this to live in such a good house with peace of mind."

Everyone heard Wu Jian's words, before they heard the back, they laughed first when they heard the front. That Jiang Lili didn't mention the house because she was worried about the difficulties in the mine. She wanted to live in the mining committee and ask for a house. If it weren't for the high mine leader to get angry, this meeting would have to come every day. Seeing that there was nothing going on in the mine, I called on Comrade Zhang Liang's house and tried to drive the sister-in-law out of the house so that I could get married.

Mr. Gao was also expressionless when he heard it. Then looked at Wu Jian, "What is Comrade Wu Jian's thoughts?"

"Manager Gao, I want to ask Comrade Xu Nannan, she still can't live in this house. Seeing so many single young people in the mine worry about the house, she still can't live in peace."

By naming names like this, he directly directed everyone's eyes on Xu Nannan.

Zhu Fang couldn't wait to stare at this little white face with his eyes.

She looked at Xu Nannan, a little worried.

Xu Nannan looked dignified and stood up, "Comrade Wu Jian asked this very well. I have to say, I live in An Sheng. Why I live in An Sheng? I came out of the single dormitory in the mine last night. As soon as the house was cleaned up, I moved out. For nothing else, I wanted to make room for so many single young people in the mine. Although it was only a bed, I could house a single comrade anyway. To solve the housing problem, I will never take up a single bit of resources in the mine. This is the principle I set for myself after becoming a member of the Nanjiang Iron Mine."

"Xu Guan is right." Zhu Fang applauded very cooperatively. When other people saw him applauding, they also echoed their applause. Although they felt that Xu Nannan was avoiding Wu Jian's topic and did not answer the question, but what they said was pretty good. If you can solve it by yourself, you won't bother to mine. People really have no trouble in mine.

When Wu Jian saw this, his face suddenly turned into a pig liver color, "Comrade Xu Nannan, you didn't answer my question head-on. You and your sister shouldn't live in such a big house at all, and you should let the mine have other needs. People live. This is what an iron ore worker should do."

Xu Nannan held back his eyes without rolling his eyes, and solemnly looked at Mr. Gao. "Manager Gao, I think it is necessary to correct Comrade Wu Jian's thoughts."

Mr. Gao Mining didn't say a word, so he left the two young people to say. Now that Xu Nannan asked him to talk to him, he nodded, "You can speak freely on this matter."

Xu Nannan looked at everyone and said, "I think Comrade Wu Jian's thoughts are not good, and it is easy to make the mine workers feel dependent. Our mine is to take care of the workers in the mine, but there are so many workers in the mine, and everyone should point to the mine. Go, wait for the mine to make arrangements. How heavy the burden is on the mine. Just like we used to work in the village to earn work points, we also pay attention to personal six labor and four four, which is to encourage everyone to rely on their own labor to support themselves. Otherwise, everyone is. If you don’t work, you’re waiting for the village to distribute food. Who farms? According to Comrade Wu Jian’s idea, people who work should still support people who don’t work. The same goes for whoever works in this house in the future. , I found the house by myself, regardless of how it came, it was earned by myself. As a result, I still have to dedicate it, so in the future, will I just wait for the house to be distributed by the mine? Other people see me like this In the end, do you have to wait for the mine to be allocated? For the sake of a house, the enthusiasm of the workers in the mine to work hard and build society is obliterated. I think this is a sin that cannot be borne.

"Xu Nannan, you are arrogant." Wu Jianqi's blush was thick and his neck was thick, and he didn't add the two words. He felt that he couldn't keep up with what was said by a woman. As a union member, it was too embarrassing.

"I think that Comrade Xu Nannan's words are still very reasonable." Gao Mining said.

The others looked at the manager Gao.

In fact, Xu Nannan has a house, and some people are envious and jealous, but if someone really wants to take it out, it hasn't got the share yet.

They are all literate people, not so shameless, just want to take out other people's things.

If Xu Nannan’s house was allocated to the mine, they would demolish the mining committee and ask for the house to be released. But this house is not owned by a mine, so who can go and grab it?

If you **** it, you may not be able to divide your own family. There is no need to offend people for this matter.

As soon as Wu Jian heard that the mine manager was on Xu Nannan's side, his forehead went black.

Gao Mining Manager is about to retire. He has lived for so many years. From before the founding of the People’s Republic of China to after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, he has seen a lot of things. Can you still know what Wu Jian thought?

This is a typical example of not eating grapes and saying grape sour.

"Comrade Wu Jian's thinking is still correct. He is selfless and dedicated to our Nanjiang Iron Mine. This is a noble sentiment and a spirit worthy of everyone's learning. Let's applaud him first."

Then came a burst of loud applause.

After Wu Jian heard these applauses, he finally felt relieved, his face still blushing, no matter what, he finally caught the eye of the mine manager.

After the applause was over, Mr. Gao looked at Xu Nannan again, "Comrade Xu Nannan’s ideas are also worthy of recognition. We must work hard to solve our own problems and not add burden to the mine. This is a spirit of self-reliance and self-reliance. It is our Nanjiang Iron Mine. The spirit that all workers possess. If all iron ore workers can solve their personal problems by themselves, our mining committee will have nothing to worry about."

The comrades of the mining committee nodded one after another. Indeed. Every day, a bunch of people complain about how difficult the family is, how many children can’t eat enough to raise, and they don’t have a house to live in, and they need to solve it in the mine. So many people, how to solve it. After solving this, that one is about to make trouble again.

Can't solve it!

Mr. Gao said, "So the spirits of the two comrades today are worthy of our study and promotion. I suggest that today's speech be compiled into a draft and put on the bulletin board for everyone to learn. This matter, Xiao Zhu is responsible ."

"Yes!" Zhu Fang said in a loud voice, and his laughing double chins came out.

"Okay, this is the end of today's study. Let's all go and work." Mr. Gao said and left directly.

Wu Jian looked at this situation and was confused again. What does the mine manager mean? Did Xu Nannan hand over the house or not let her hand over the house?

He didn't know, but everyone else had a bright eye, and the mine manager clearly didn't care about it. That’s right, people’s mine managers have to do a lot of things every day. Is it interesting for you to take things about a house? Even if you can get a house, how many people can you solve? If you have the ability, you need to get the house yourself, and you can just report it to the mine manager. Maybe I can send you a certificate or something.

Everyone glanced at him, shook their heads and sighed. This is a good comrade, a trade union comrade who really considers workers. Fortunately, it is not our mining committee.

After Wu Jian had gone through this incident, the Mining Committee didn't have anyone discussing it anymore.

After all, the mine manager didn't say anything, what did their little officers worry about. After finishing the manuscript, Zhu Fang read it in front of everyone. It emphasized Comrade Wu Jian's unselfish and dedication to the workers. Encourage trade union comrades to learn like Comrade Wu Jian.

Yes, it is to encourage union comrades. Who made the trade union have such a representative figure? Everyone has to look at it.

The comrades of the mining committee applauded again, all smiling.

As for Xu Nannan's affairs, it was done in one stroke, leaving nothing to be noticed.

Workers can also know the situation in the mine through the bulletin board every day. After work, everyone has to go to the cafeteria and take a subconscious glance, oh, something new is coming out.

Standing and watching for a while, they all nodded when they saw the above content.

This union officer is really good. With such a good spirit, we can go to the union to solve our problems in the future.

Xu Meizi also saw the news on the bulletin board. Seeing Wu Jian being promoted, she felt like she had drunk honey.

She is fifteen years old, at a sensible age. He often stayed with Xu Hong, and he understood feelings and feelings earlier. Although she had promised her mother Liu Qiao that she would consider personal issues after the university entrance examination, but now that she has no hope of the university entrance examination, she naturally has to prepare herself early.

This Wu Jian has a good head, has an education, and is still registered in the city. I heard that he is the only son at home, and everything will be his from now on.

Xu Meizi knows her own situation and can't take the university entrance examination. She is at most a girl with a rural household registration, and she is also an apprentice in a mine. Without a registered permanent residence, not a formal worker, and with a junior high school education, it is already the limit to be able to find Wu Jian.

She didn't learn Xu Hong's high-eyed and low-handedness, her mother said, what a lot of ability to do so. So she thinks Wu Jian is the most suitable.

And Wu Jian seemed to mean something to her. When the two met recently, they could also say a few words.

When she is a little older in two years and becomes a fuller again, she will be able to get married at that time.

Now seeing Wu Jian so prosperous, she couldn't help feeling proud.

Did not go home for dinner at noon, she went to the cafeteria to find Wu Jian. Still in the old position, I saw Wu Jian sitting there eating. One meat and one vegetarian, eating rice, at first glance, the family can afford food.

Several young female workers already looked at him.

Xu Meizi also went and cooked a dish like Wu Jian, holding her chest up, and walking here with a rice bowl.
