Accidentally Born in the ‘60s: 111. Work

Sun Rende heard the guard said that Wei Yujin was coming, so he nodded with Zhen Zhen, gave her a wink, and then told the guard: "Let the comrade surnamed Wei come directly to my office."

When Sun Rende hung up the phone, Zhen Zhen hurriedly instructed him: "Director Sun, please don't tell her that this factory is mine, just tell her that you are an acquaintance of our family. "

Sun Rende laughed and joked: "It seems that Mr. Li is very low-key outside."

Zhen Zhen nodded very contentedly: "Much to make a fortune."

At this time at the entrance of Tengda Furniture Factory, Wei Yujin was anxiously watching the doorman make a phone call, for fear that the young man would send him away with the phrase "the factory manager is not available".

The guard put down the phone and came out of the transfer room. Wei Yujin's heart was about to jump out of nervousness. He clasped his hands tightly together, and a stiff smile appeared on his face: "Well, what did the factory manager say?" /

The guard opened the door and stretched his hand inside with a polite smile: "The factory manager asked you to come to the office to find him."

Wei Yujin breathed a sigh of relief. As she walked in, she kept saying to the doorman, "Thank you, comrade, and trouble you."

According to the direction pointed by the guard, Wei Yujin quickly found the factory director's office. She took two deep breaths at the door, and then she mustered up the courage to knock on the door twice.

The door was opened all of a sudden, Wei Yujin looked at Zhen Zhen who was standing in the office smiling at her, her whole body relaxed, and her heart also felt a lot more at ease: "Zhen Zhen, are you here too? "

"Yeah." Zhen Zhen invited Wei Yujin to sit down on the sofa: "Today, editor-in-chief Yu handed me a manuscript to interview some companies, and there happened to be Tengda Furniture Factory, so I stopped by first. By the way, I forgot to give it to you. Introduced, this is Director Sun of Tengda Furniture Factory." Zhen Zhen pointed at Wei Yujin again: "My classmate is also my current colleague, Wei Yujin."

Wei Yujin and Sun Rende both stood up and shook hands. Wei Yujin was thinking about how to talk about his family when he heard Sun Rende say: "Just now, about your situation, Li Chang...cough...Li Mingzhen has already told me. It's logical. It is said that our factory has strict procedures for recruiting workers, and a situation like your man actually does not meet our regulations."

Wei Yujin raised her heart when she heard this, and thought that she was rejected by others, and her face turned pale, just as she was about to open her mouth to show that she understood, she heard Sun Rende continue: "But it just happened to be a coincidence, now The workers in several of our workshops can no longer meet the production needs, and the factory will start recruiting workers soon, and then your men will come to work with the newly recruited workers.”

Wei Yujin didn't expect such a twist. For a while, he didn't know what to do, so he could only stand up and say thank you again and again. Sun Rende smiled: "Ming Zhen has never asked me for any help, it's rare. She speaks once and I have to help me to the end."

Wei Yujin stretched out and took Zhen Zhen's hand, Zhen Zhen saw that Wei Yujin was about to cry again, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Eldest sister, this big brother Sun and my family are also old friends, otherwise I wouldn't dare to fight you this morning. Tickets. Now that it's settled, go back and call early and ask your husband to come with the kids."

Sun Rende took out a bunch of keys from the drawer: "Ming Zhen said just now that you may not have a place to live, and the factory happens to have an unused house that you can lend to you first. But when your husband arrives, remember to tell him not to have **** with him. Other employees said that the influence of the province is not good.”

"Don't worry, we are very tight-lipped, this has already caused you a lot of trouble." Wei Yujin stood up and bowed to Sun Rende, Sun Rende said quickly: "You are welcome, you are not an outsider, what the weather is like. It's not too early, let's see the house early."

This house is only two streets away from the factory. The gate faces the road. There are two large houses facing the gate. One side of the yard is the kitchen and the other side is the storage room.

Sun Rende opened the door, Zhen Zhen took Wei Yujin and walked in, only to see that the room outside was a little empty with only sofas, coffee tables and dining tables. The room inside is a suite, with a single bed and a bedside table in it, and a large wardrobe, a bookshelf, and a desk by the window in the outside room. This is what Sun Rende gave to Wang Xinzhi when he lived here. arranged.

Sun Rende gave the key to Wei Yujin: "The dormitory in the factory is generally lived for three years first. If there is still no housing after three years, then you can renew the loan. You can go through the formalities with me after your man goes to work."

Looking at this spacious house, Wei Yujin's eyes were red, she pulled Zhen Zhen excitedly and didn't know what to say, Zhen Zhen smiled and patted her hand, turned her head and said to Sun Rende, "I look at this house One more double bed is missing."

Sun Rende nodded: "I told the warehouse before I left, and it is estimated that someone will come and pull it over after a while."

Wei Yujin hurriedly said: "This is already very troublesome for the factory. We can buy what we need. How can we still need the beds in the factory."

Sun Rende smiled: "It's not just for you. Every employee who lives in the unit's dormitory is equipped with furniture that we produce."

As the three of them were talking, four young men came over with a tricycle pulling a double bed and a mattress. Sun Rende helped set it up, and then said to Wei Yujin, "I'll give you the key, next month on Monday. Just ask your man to report directly to the factory."

Although Wei Yujin is a top student who graduated from the Chinese Department of Imperial Capital University, at this time she does not know how to express her gratitude in words, and she is even too excited to speak. Seeing this, Sun Rende and Zhen Zhen nodded. , turned around and left first.

As soon as the door was closed, Sun Rende heard a loud cry coming from inside, and couldn't help but stop. Thinking back to that time, I had no job and no relatives, so I could only live alone in a dilapidated house in my hometown, and I was full and hungry. If Li Mingzhen hadn't found her and brought her back to the imperial capital, she would have been long ago by now. Killed in one head. Hearing Wei Yujin's cry, Sun Rende understood Wei Yujin's feelings very well.

Zhen Zhen waited for Wei Yujin to cry so much before she took out a handkerchief from her bag and handed it to her: "Go wash your face, I won't tell others about you crying in front of me."

Wei Yujin burst into laughter with tears in her eyes, took the handkerchief and wiped away her tears, stretched out her hand and hugged Zhen Zhen into her arms, choked up, "Sister, thank you, sis."

"No need to thank you." Zhen Zhen patted her back: "Just treat me to dinner when your family is reunited."

"That's necessary." Wei Yujin learned Xu Jiajia's mantra, and both of them laughed immediately.

Wei Yujin turned on the faucet to wash her face, then washed her handkerchief, took a clip and hung it in the yard. Back in the room, Wei Yujin took Zhen Zhen's hand and walked out: "Today is a good day, let's go, sister invites you to dinner, let's celebrate."

"Sister Wei...Sister Wei..." Zhen Zhen was dragged out several meters away, when she regained her senses, she quickly grabbed Wei Yujin: "We're not busy today, you might be here to clean up Go to the dormitory or go back to the dormitory early. After all, it is not close to the work unit, so I have to go home early, and my grandmother is still thinking about me talking about my first day of work.”

Seeing Zhen Zhen was really embarrassed, Wei Yujin didn't push her any further, took her hand and said, "Then I have to invite you to dinner for Sunday."

Zhen Zhen said with a smile: "When you are free during the week, you can cook at home and invite me to eat, and I will also try your Northwestern cuisine."

"Okay!" Wei Yujin smiled heartily: "That's it."

Zhen Zhen looked at her watch and it was getting late. After saying goodbye to Wei Yujin, she hurriedly rode home. Wei Yujin finally found her new home in Didu, excitedly took the money and went to a nearby small store to buy some daily necessities and prepared to come back to clean up. When passing by the grain store, she bought two meat buns to celebrate.

Zhen Zhen returned home, Wang Sufen had already prepared a table of dishes and was looking forward to waiting for Zhen Zhen to come home, Li Muwu walked around the door every two or three minutes, and when he came out for the eighth time, he finally saw Zhen Zhen Zhen's figure.

Li Muwu was suddenly overjoyed, and ran back to the yard and shouted loudly, "Zhen Zhen is back." Then he hurried to the door to wait for Zhen Zhen.

As soon as Zhen Zhen rode to the door, Li Muwu came over with a big fan to fan her: "Did you go to work today? Did you sleep with it at noon? Your milk made mung bean paste for you and poured honey, it's delicious ."

Zhen Zhen smiled while pushing the bicycle into the upside-down seat: "It's good, but it went well, you don't know me yet, I have a good life."

Li Muwu suddenly smiled at ease, Zhen Zhen followed Li Muwu into the house, poured half a basin of warm water to wash his face, and when he looked up, he saw the three people around him, Nanny and his parents, all of them were rude look at himself.

Zhen Zhen suddenly laughed: "What are you looking at? Haven't we seen each other for a day? It's like half a century?"

Mr. Li squinted her eyes happily: "It's not about my eldest granddaughter, look at how fast this day goes by, Zhen Zhen went to work in the blink of an eye."

Zhen Zhen laughed dumbly and said, "If you say that, I've already gone to work. Don't I still have a furniture factory? I'm still the director of the factory."

"That's different. It's just a personal joke. Now this is a serious job." In Mrs. Li's heart, she still felt that working in a state unit was called a job. It's like Guihua's clothing store has already done a lot. The money earned in one day is more than Mingdong's monthly salary, but Mrs. Li still doesn't think it is a job.

Zhen Zhen knows that not only the older generation thinks this way, but many of her own age also regard the jobs assigned by graduation as iron rice bowls, and would rather receive a meager salary than come out and make a fortune on their own.

Mrs. Li put the towel in Zhen Zhen's hand on the shelf on one side, and pulled her to sit at the dining table: "Your mother specially cooked a lot of good dishes today, come and eat."

Zhen Zhen took a mouthful of rice, then took a pair of chopsticks for braised fish, and nodded vigorously: "My mother's dishes are delicious, just like the ones I ate when I was a child."

Wang Sufen couldn't close her mouth with a smile, and quickly brought her some fish meat and scooped some fish soup bibimbap for her.

"Nanny, I also want to ask a nanny to come back." Zhen Zhen took a bite and discussed with Mrs. Li, Wang Sufen was a little unhappy when she heard it: "I can still work here, what kind of nanny?"

Zhen Zhen knew the temperament of old people who are reluctant to spend money, and patiently persuaded her: "Mom, if we were in Beicha's hometown, I wouldn't mention this matter, and you can clean up the house and the house by yourself. But now Our house is too big. If you only have so many houses, you will be exhausted by wiping the floor and plastering. Mom, now your daughter is making a lot of money. What is the difference between making money without spending and saving a pile of waste paper? Listen to me, I'll look for two good babysitters later, and you can just enjoy yourself."

"Two babysitters?" Wang Sufen was taken aback: "I'm reluctant to ask for one of them. You just do two for me. Why do I need so many babysitters?" Wang Sufen hesitated for a moment and negotiated with Zhen Zhen : "Zhen Zhen, you said that there are only four people in our family plus you, and there are two nanny to serve. The landlords in the past didn't cook so much. If you insist on hiring a nanny, you can hire one, and I will do half of her work ."

Zhen Zhen persuaded her patiently: "Mom, look at the **** Junjie next door, he is younger than you, and his population is not as large as ours, but he still has two babysitters. Usually, the housework and cooking are handled by babysitters. Li, she grows flowers, watches movies, climbs mountains, that's life."

Wang Sufen was a little envious after hearing this, but her mouth was still hard: "Is it safe to sleep at night without doing any work?"

Zhen Zhen explained: "It doesn't mean that you are forced to do nothing. You can do what you like instead of wasting time and energy on cleaning and cooking."

Mr. Li listened for a long time and finally nodded: "Just as the child said, you have worked hard all your life, and you also enjoy the blessing of the child. You can see that Mu Wu is also the kind of person who doesn't work and can't sleep well. Yes, but now you look at it, all your thoughts are on fishing, and if you don't take it out for a day, you will be troubled. Just like what Zhen Zhen said, you can have fun and have a good life for a few days. "

Wang Sufen pondered for a long time, and finally came up with a favorite thing to do: "I think my favorite thing to do is farming, especially farming in our home. Oh, I always have a sense of accomplishment. ."

Zhen Zhen nodded dumbfoundedly: "Okay, this is also a hobby."

The family of four happily finished dinner, Zhen Zhen helped Wang Sufen to bring the tableware and chopsticks to the kitchen, when she returned to the house, Mrs. Li couldn't wait to ask her, "What did you do at work today?"

Zhen Zhen sat cross-legged on a chair, holding a teacup and said, "Today I just finished reporting and I took up an assignment to interview ten companies and write a report. I don't have to go to the unit this week, next Monday. Just bring the manuscript over there."

This kind of thing is too professional, and Mrs. Li can't understand it. She is more worried that her granddaughter is tired: "Are so many units running here? Are you tired?"

"I'm not tired, I just asked people some questions in the past." Zhen Zhen remembered the dim sum she bought from the food factory, she quickly stood up and took out a bag from the basket: "Mother, I went to Didu Foods this afternoon. Factory, I bought some snacks for you on the way."

Now the weather is hot, and the dim sum will go bad after four or five days, so Zhen Zhen picked out two pieces and put them in a separate bag, and then took them out after two or three days.

Mr. Li took over the dim sum, and seeing that there were several kinds of desserts that she did not know, she couldn't help but began to recall the bittersweet: "Nowadays, people are really more and more good at eating, you said that you used to eat white noodles in the past. How difficult it is, I can only eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year, and I don’t dare to open my belly to eat it. But now you can see that you can’t be satisfied with eating white noodles, you have to put sugar and milk, etc. think."

Although they had already eaten, Mrs. Li still took out a piece of dim sum. She broke it into three pieces and handed it to Li Muwu and Wang Sufen each: "The dim sum you bought with your daughter's money, hurry up and try it."

The cake was not big. Li Muwu and Wang Sufen ate it in one bite.

Zhen Zhen smiled: "If you like it, I'll buy it for you later. If I'm hungry during the day, I'll eat two pieces of padding or something."

The family was chatting happily when Xi Junjie came over from the next door. Mrs. Li hurriedly asked him to sit down and asked with a smile, "How is work today? Are you used to it?"

"Very good." Xi Junjie nodded: "I just went to mainly study the official documents that I have exchanged with European countries in recent years, and I didn't get started with specific things."

Zhen Zhen took out the mung bean paste made by Mrs. Li and gave Xi Junjie a bowl: "Aren't you tired from working all day? You're still running here."

Mr. Li gave a "tsk" and patted Zhen Zhen's arm: "This child, why are you talking, isn't Junjie coming to see you."

Xi Junjie and Zhen Zhen didn't pay attention to those false etiquette for a long time, and he didn't take it seriously and said some gossip. Set up a phone, so that the unit can easily contact me if there is anything in the future. I don’t think there is a phone here, do you want me to help you with the application? I’ll have to make a trip alone in the future.”

Zhen Zhen was also pondering this matter, and she nodded her head when she heard it: "Sooner or later, you will be safe. Since you go to the formalities, just help me with it, and then you will be safe in my room."

"Are you putting the phone in my house?" Mrs. Li couldn't help saying, "It will be much more convenient for me to call your uncle and your third uncle and third aunt from now on. Call them to let them know your wedding day."

The happiest thing for Zhen Zhen is that with her own efforts, Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen can live better and better. Seeing the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law go to talk about the phone. Zhen Zhen took a mouthful of mung bean smoothie and asked Xi Junjie, "Do you know where I can hire a babysitter? I would like to ask two babysitters to help clean up the house."

Xi Junjie was very concerned about Zhen Zhen's affairs, he immediately asked: "Are there any requirements?"

Zhen Zhen thought about it for a while, and said her requirements in the same way: "Quick hands and feet, neat work, honest and sincere mind, I don't know much about the rest, you can help me with my staff."

Mrs. Li listened and took a sentence: "It's delicious to cook. It would be even better if she could cook our Northeastern cuisine."

Xi Junjie nodded with a smile: "Damn, don't worry, it's on me."

I have to go to work tomorrow. Xi Junjie went home to sleep after eating the smoothie. Zhen Zhen also went back to the room to rest. The roses in the room were blooming in the night sky, exuding a faint floral fragrance.

According to the roadmap planned by herself, Zhen Zhen ran all the enterprises in five days and accumulated a lot of materials. During this period, Wang Xinzhi also signed a contract with the garment factory, and got a sample of Xingzi's shirt for Zhen Zhen to see. Relying on the very clear design drawings drawn by Zhen Zhen, Wang Xinzhi was a serious one. He stayed in the garment factory for two days and watched others make the samples. Zhen Zhen carefully checked the samples sent by Wang Xinzhi, and found that it was the same as what she remembered, so she immediately asked the garment factory to start production as soon as possible.

The factory here is working hard, and Zhen Zhen's mind is all about writing the manuscript. She used the two days over the weekend to not only write the newsletter that Director Yu wanted, but also organize the rich topics in her hands. A side note on enterprise development.

It was already dark, Zhen Zhen copied the last line of the draft on the manuscript paper, then put down the pen and rubbed her wrist. After two days of hard writing, Zhen Zhen did not know how many times she typed out the draft and revised the sentence, and only then did she form the final draft. Looking at the messy paper on the table, Zhen Zhen missed the computers of later generations and typed on the computer. Much faster than writing by hand.

Early on Monday morning, after work, Zhen Zhen went directly to Editor-in-Chief Yu's office and took out a thick stack of manuscripts: "Editor-in-chief Yu, this is the manuscript I wrote, in addition to the manuscript you requested, I also wrote I have written four side notes, and I would like to ask you to give some pointers.”

Seeing that Li Mingzhen just went to work, she took the initiative to give her homework workload. Editor-in-chief Yu couldn't help nodding because of her studious attitude: "Okay, I'll look at it in a while, the editor's office is the first one against the wall. The desk is your desk, you go and read the nearest newspaper first."

Wei Yujin and the others have their own positions. Although Yu Shoujing sent Li Mingzhen to the field, he also reserved an office space for her, and prepared necessary office supplies such as pens, ink, and manuscript paper.

Zhen Zhen took a stack of newspapers and went back to her seat, just after reading the headlines on the front page, Wei Yujin came in from outside, her eyes lit up when she saw Zhen Zhen, she hurriedly sat down beside Zhen Zhen and whispered: "I have already tidy up the yard. I called my man last Tuesday. He has already tidy up the house. He has sold all the food and everything. He will take the child on the train tomorrow."

Zhen Zhen couldn't help but feel happy for Sister Wei when she heard the words: "This is a good thing, but in the future you will not be as convenient as living in a group dormitory."

Wei Yujin said with a smile: "It takes 20 minutes to ride a bicycle to the work unit, but it's not too far. I moved all my things there yesterday. I just went to the personnel bureau and I retire the dormitory. If you are free, I will invite you to dinner at home."

Zhen Zhen thought for a while and said, "Then let's celebrate your housewarming this Sunday."

The two set a date, Wei Yujin went back to her work station and started to try to write a news, Zhen Zhen glanced at the newspaper in her hand, and swept the editor-in-chief Yu's office with her consciousness a little worriedly.

Editor-in-chief Yu has read several of Li Mingzhen's manuscripts, and it is not necessary to mention the side notes, because Li Mingzhen's interviews are very detailed. Through the development of enterprises, the changes in workers' lives, and the comparison between the past and the present, the reform and opening up brought about Changes appear one by one. As for the manuscript arranged by Editor-in-Chief Yu, Li Mingzhen not only interviewed enterprises, but also went to relevant government departments, and obtained various values ​​that can reflect the rapid economic development in the past two years. At the beginning of the article, authoritative data was listed, interspersed with the relevant remarks of leaders. Through the comparison of different companies, especially companies like Tengda, which have been on the brink of bankruptcy and have not been able to pay wages for half a year, it took just two years. It has become the largest furniture factory in China, and it has been able to express the new opportunities brought by the reform and opening up to the enterprise. It depends on whether the enterprise adheres to the rules or is bold and innovative.

Yu Shoujing originally gave Li Mingzhen this topic to let her practice how to interview and collect information, but he did not think that Li Mingzhen could write articles that could be published. Reporters have to study with old reporters for at least three months before they start trying to publish articles. But he didn't expect Li Mingzhen's article to be very comprehensive, and he only needed to add a few comments before it could be published in the newspaper. Yu Shoujing picked up the pen and made corrections directly on the manuscript.

Two hours later, Yu Shoujing finally called Zhen Zhen to the office. If Yu Shoujing was kind to Zhen Zhen a week ago, now it can be said to be amiable. Handing the revised manuscript to Zhen Zhen, Yu Shoujing looked at her with satisfaction: "As expected of a student of our Imperial Capital University who won the special scholarship for four consecutive years, your writing ability is beyond my imagination, this press release is very well written, I have already made changes, I can report it in the afternoon, and it will be in the paper tomorrow at the earliest."

"Really?" Although she knew she had worked hard, Zhen Zhen was still very excited to be recognized for her efforts: "Thank you, editor-in-chief."

Yu Shoujing smiled: "These four side notes are also good, and they have a suitable place to publish them one by one." Zhen Zhen secretly compared herself in her heart, and when she walked out of Yu Shoujing's office, she felt that her legs were full is floating.

In the afternoon, the newspaper was finalized and different editors reviewed the manuscript. Zhen Zhen secretly used her consciousness to look at the position of her manuscript, and it was actually ranked in the headlines of the second page. This is already a great achievement for newcomers.

Going home at night, Zhen Zhen rushed into the yard and shouted loudly: "Mother, my manuscript has been approved, and tomorrow's Hua Guo Daily has my manuscript." The old lady Li was so excited: "Zhen Zhen Mother, hurry up and send a telegram to your hometown!"

In the early morning of the next day, Mrs. Li went out and stayed at the door of the post office before dawn. When the door opened, she rushed in: "Comrade, today's Hua Guo Daily will give me a hundred copies!"
