It was payday in the factory, and the workers were celebrating.
After working hard for a month, wasn't he looking forward to the day of harvest?
"This month, the factory actually gave out two taels of meat. Last month, there was only one tael. It seems that the benefits are good, so the supply is a little more.”
"Yeah, two taels of meat is quite a lot. With the chopped cabbage, we can eat cabbage and pork dumplings.”
"Auntie Wang, my neighbor, has a daughter who married a butcher. He heard that the welfare there was so good that it was scary. Usually, the leftover minced meat on the chopping board was treated as welfare. The workers would take a share and take it back. They would have meat to eat every day.”
"The cotton mill is also enviable. The workers can buy some rags at the internal price. Not only was it cheap, but it also didn't require cloth. Not only did he not have to worry about clothes at home, but he could also exchange it for money.”
"All the factories that provide food and clothing have better benefits than us. "The benefit of our rolling mill is that if our family needs steel, we don't need tickets. We can use the internal price to buy some from the factory.”
They discussed the benefits of the factory and compared it with other factories. This was a show that would inevitably be staged on the day of the monthly salary.
It couldn't be helped. There weren't many entertainment activities these days. A palm-sized television set cost more than a thousand yuan. It was not something that ordinary workers could afford.
The only way to get information about the outside world was to read the newspapers.
Or, during the lunch break, he would listen to the various news broadcasted on the workshop radio.
Due to the lack of spiritual life, he usually relied on discussing all kinds of gossip with his colleagues around him for entertainment.
On the day of salary distribution, the most discussed topics were who had the higher salary, who had the higher subsidies, or how good the treatment was in other factories.
As they chatted, some people started discussing Lu Heng's exchange for food stamps.
"Have you heard that Deputy Director Lu of Workshop 2 is exchanging food stamps with someone else?”
"It can't be, right? He's a leader, so he must have more subsidies than us. Also, the food stamps and meat stamps rewarded by the factory can't be enough, right?”
"Hey, do you think Deputy Director Lu is going to speculate and sell food stamps?”
"Don't talk nonsense. I heard that he took in a girl who escaped from famine. Some say that she's his cousin, but that's what happened. Because the girl didn't have any food, she could only eat the ration of Deputy Director Lu, so she wanted to exchange for some food stamps.”
"I also heard that his house is being renovated. He invited the families of some of the workers in our factory who are in a difficult situation to help. Not only did he give them money, but he also subsidizes seven taels of food stamps every day.”
"Hey, Director Lu is so kind! However, it wasn't worth it. If he went through so much trouble, wouldn't he have to exchange money for food stamps every month?”
"Hai, why are you worrying about this? Director Lu's monthly salary is more than 100 yuan. It's only a few yuan to exchange for a few dozen catties of food stamps.”
As the discussion went on, the news of Lu Heng changing the ticket gradually spread.
The house was being renovated, and they had taken in a girl who had escaped from famine.
Of course, there was also a saying that it was a distant cousin who had come to seek refuge.
It could only be said that the power of the masses was endless.
There were tens of thousands of people in the rolling mill. They didn't live far away and were all distributed in the nearby streets.
As long as there was any big news, everyone would spread it among themselves. In a few days, the entire factory would know.
However, as the factory workers chatted about taking in the fleeing girl, they began to deviate from the topic.
"Do you think that girl who escaped from famine is quite handsome? Otherwise, why would Director Lu be willing to take her in?”
"Who knows? Someone said that she was his cousin from afar. I didn't believe it anyway. I guess he was only willing to take her in because she was good-looking.”
"I think so too. Director Lu is only in his twenties this year. He's a hot-blooded young man. In addition, he's a kind-hearted person. When he saw a beautiful girl, his heart softened and he agreed without thinking.”
"I don't know what Director Lu is thinking. There are so many people in the factory who want to matchmake him. Why did he take in a rural girl? This time, the people who wanted to help him matchmake couldn't go to the woman's side.”
The topic of conversation went from talking about wages to Lu Heng spending money in exchange for food stamps, to gossiping about Lu Heng's scandal with a village girl…
Soon, all kinds of rumors began to spread.
Deputy Factory Manager Wang, who had always thought highly of Lu Heng, accidentally overheard the clerk in the office talking about this matter, so he directly called him over.
"Sit!"
When Lu Heng arrived, Deputy Factory Manager Wang gestured for Lu Heng to sit opposite him. He even stood up personally, picked up the kettle beside him, and poured him a cup of tea.
Lu Heng hurriedly took it and asked,"Manager, why are you looking for me?”
She asked, but she was thinking in her heart.
The inspection of the workshop and the compilation of the safety operation manual had long been completed and submitted.
The production plan for the optimized workshop was also completed the day before yesterday and submitted.
Why was he looking for him?
He was doing quite well in the second workshop!
With the management experience from his previous life, the workshop was well managed and there were no major problems.
Could it be that the great leader wanted to come down for an inspection?
Lu Heng's mind was filled with work-related matters.
Unexpectedly, Deputy Factory Manager Wang stared at him for a moment and asked,"I heard that you took in a girl who escaped from the countryside?”
"Um…"
Lu Heng almost lost his composure. Did information spread so quickly in this factory?
It was no wonder that in his previous life, he had seen that some enemy spies found it difficult to hide in this era where there was no internet or surveillance.
He had finally witnessed the power of the masses.
Any trivial matter in his family could reach the ears of Deputy Factory Manager Wang so quickly.
Those spies who had infiltrated the base would definitely be reported if they showed any signs of abnormality.
"It's a girl that the street director took in from somewhere. I asked many people, but no one was willing to take her in.”
"I saw that the girl didn't have a place to go and looked quite pitiful, so I wanted to carry forward my spirit and take her in.”
Lu Heng confessed directly. These things would be clear if he asked a few more people. There was no need to hide them.
However, he did not forget to make his position clear. This was to carry forward the spirit and do good deeds, not to hire people to work like capitalists.
"Are you stupid? Haven't you considered that your personal image will be affected by this?”
"If this gets out, it will have a huge impact on your future marriage. It will also affect your future to a certain extent.”
Deputy Factory Manager Wang sighed, feeling a little anxious for Lu Heng.
From what he knew, Lu Heng was only 23 years old. He had outstanding abilities and a bright future ahead of him. He could definitely find a good partner.
Moreover, it was the kind that would be helpful to his personal future, such as the daughters of some big leaders.
But now that this had happened, it would more or less affect his reputation.
Although he only took in a girl who escaped from the countryside, the two of them were a widow. It would be strange if there was any good news about them.
As for the daughters of those big leaders, there were many people who were fighting for them. Once the man's reputation was damaged, how could he be willing to consider them?
He could only look down and find some girls from ordinary families.
They did not have the right to despise a promising young man who was the deputy director of the rolling mill in his twenties.
Lu Heng was stunned at first, but he quickly figured out what Deputy Factory Manager Wang meant.
At this moment, he only wanted to say,"Thank you."
The storm was coming, and he was not clear about the changes in the upper echelons of this era. He did not know who would be involved.
If he really got together with the daughter of a big leader, that would be big trouble.
Not a virgin?
Did he look down on the daughter of the big leader?
A virgin?
If the leader was involved in the storm in the future, wouldn't his son-in-law be implicated as well?
To Lu Heng, staying away from the center of the storm was the best choice.
Therefore, this lucky hit saved him from some hidden dangers.
Lu Heng was secretly delighted.
However, considering that Deputy Factory Manager Wang was really thinking for him, he couldn't blame him.
After all, he couldn't predict what would happen in the future.
Lu Heng could only smile awkwardly and said,"I didn't think that far ahead. At that time, I saw that the girl was pitiful, so I agreed to take her in.”
"Also, I think gold will shine wherever it goes. As long as I do my job well and let the leaders see my achievements, I don't have to worry about my future.”
"Just like before, didn't you and Factory Manager Yang see that I had made achievements, so they made exceptions and promoted me many times?”
"I also have the confidence that I will definitely be able to do better in the future and achieve greater results. I will rely on my own ability to achieve greater achievements.”
Lu Heng secretly acknowledged that Ming Wang's deputy factory manager was his talent, and promised to prove himself with his own strength.
After a few sentences, Deputy Factory Manager Wang couldn't help but nod.
What a determined and courageous young man to be able to get to the top with his own abilities.
On the other hand, he hoped that Lu Heng would take a more relaxed route, which seemed a little too narrow-minded.
"Since you have your own thoughts, I can't say anything. I believe that with your talent and ability, you will definitely be able to achieve greater results.”
With that, Deputy Director Wang took two steps back, pulled out a drawer, took out a few tickets, and handed them over.
"These are some food and cloth tickets that I usually save up. Now that you have more people in your family, you can take them first.”
Deputy Factory Manager Wang's care at this moment moved Lu Heng a little.
Previously, he had always treated Deputy Factory Manager Wang as a superior.
But at this moment, he felt that this was an elder who truly cared for him, loved him, and was willing to help him.
"Manager, I have enough supplies now. I even exchanged some food stamps with some workers just now. Together with the rewards from the factory, it's enough to eat.”
Lu Heng didn't take the tickets from her.
Because even for the level of Deputy Factory Manager Wang, although the distribution of various materials was more, it would not be too much.
Nowadays, who didn't have five or six people to take care of?
If the children in the family were already married, it was normal for a family of more than ten people.
Even for families with two or even three employees, no one had heard of a family with enough tickets.
Lu Heng did not lack tickets, but he lacked some channels to clear his name. Naturally, he could not accept the emergency tickets that Deputy Factory Manager Wang had saved up with great difficulty.
However, he remembered this favor.
Without waiting for Deputy Factory Manager Wang to continue, Lu Heng stood up and left.
………
On the other side, ten workers from the rolling mill who were about to go to the northwest stood in the car and waved at their relatives who were sending them off.
Some people were really brave enough to contribute and actively respond to the call.
Since the factory had already made arrangements, he went home to arrange other things and pack his luggage. He treated it as an honorable and arduous task.
However, Yi Zhonghai was definitely not included.
When the car slowly passed by the courtyard house, the sound of drums and firecrackers rang out.
This was a farewell arranged by the street organization.
"God-grandfather, god-grandfather…"
The stick guy and Little Dang were also in the crowd. They clapped and shouted at Yi Zhonghai, who was wearing a big red flower on his chest.
The car stopped for a while, giving Yi Zhonghai some time to say goodbye.
Yi Zhonghai looked at his grandson and said to Qin Huairu,""Little Qin, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can look for your aunt.”
"Grandpa Yi, don't worry. I'll help you take good care of Auntie Yi.”
Qin Huai refused to mention that he needed to be taken care of.
On the contrary, she said that she would take care of an auntie for Yi Zhonghai and that she would have a perfect role.
Her son's god-grandfather was about to go to the northwest. She was a woman whose husband was paralyzed. She had a big belly and had to take care of her children.
Now, he even said that he wanted to take care of his son's god-grandfather and god-grandmother.
What kind of quality was this?
It was a little too much to say that she was a good wife and mother.
She was a great woman of the new era.
Many people who knew about her situation were really touched and admired her.
When Yi Zhonghai heard this, he remembered that he was about to leave for the northwest. He actually choked up a little.
He also felt that everything he had done for the Jia family was worth it.
With such a mother, her son would definitely be grateful in the future.
"Head, don't worry."
"Didn't we beg Little Lu yesterday? He said that he would let you work there for a few years first and then think of a way to transfer you back.”
A middle-aged woman came to the car and whispered to Yi Zhonghai.
Yes, they had begged Lu Heng before.
The moment they met, they apologized for their previous actions and gave him gifts.
Lu Heng finally gave his answer, asking Yi Zhonghai to go first. He would see if he could think of a way when the time came.
It was not that he sympathized with Yi Zhonghai, but the little girl was there at that time. Seeing that Yi Zhonghai almost knelt down to him on the spot to avoid this incident, he could only give a perfunctory reply.
If it was in private, Lu Heng would definitely have watched coldly. You can kneel down and talk about conditions. There's no need to talk about it.
However, Lu Heng did not want her to see that scene when the little girl was there.
The girl was still young. Her sense of right and wrong was not enough to understand more complicated grudges.
When he saw an old man who had already begun to grow white hair kneel down in front of his brother, his worldview would definitely be shocked.
After all, she had been taught to respect the old and love the young since she was young.
Lu Heng did not want the little girl's young mind to be affected too much, so he stopped Yi Zhonghai from kneeling.
This was the same logic as when parents quarreled with their young children behind their backs.
Lu Heng could only brush them off, saying that he would think of a way to send the two of them away in the future.
Unexpectedly, Yi Zhonghai and his wife took it seriously. They really thought that Lu Heng would find a way to transfer him back in the future.
With hope in his heart, Yi Zhonghai was no longer dispirited. He was in good spirits.
"You should go to the backyard and interact with that Li Xiuzhi.”
"Also, Qin Huairu is about to give birth. She definitely won't be able to take care of her when the time comes. You have to help out.”
Before he left, Yi Zhonghai could not bear to part with the person he had been thinking about for his retirement, Bang Tien.
Even a flower, an evaluation ticket, or a monthly ticket would do.
