Earlier, in the evening.
Li Hongji and the three of them followed Mrs. Wang to the craftsman residential area!
This is an extremely neatly planned housing area. The roads are smooth, straight, and clean, which makes the three of them feel uncomfortable.
It was dinner time, but there were many people at home. There was no fire, and it seemed that no one was living there. Occasionally, someone was at home, and they greeted Mrs. Wang with a smile.
Zhang Xianzhong asked: "Sister-in-law, why are there so few people living here?"
Sister-in-law Wang said with a smile: "Quite a few, but work has not started yet, so there are not many talents. This is a residential area specifically for craftsmen. Everyone usually eats and lives in the factory, and only goes home to live during holidays. Now the factory The tasks here are heavy and we are all working overtime. My man is taking advantage of you today. The factory has given a holiday and I am here to entertain you!"
Li Guo was surprised and said: "Give a craftsman such a good house to live in?"
Sister-in-law Wang smiled and said: "Yes, you didn't expect it, I never dreamed of it! My family has been a craftsman under the Ministry of Industry for generations. In the past, I was not afraid of the jokes of you three. I didn't even wear one." A decent piece of clothing, but in the end the clothes were so tattered that I couldn’t even go out to meet people! Those days were really hard!”
She recalled the past days and said with emotion: "My man is good at craftsmanship, but he can't get much money from the Ministry of Industry. He goes hungry for more than ten days every month. If it weren't for my man doing some private work outside, my sister-in-law would probably I'm going to starve to death! My son is already seven years old, but he only weighs over forty pounds. What a sin! He can't survive this day!"
"At that time, my sister-in-law was also very thin, she was cutting down her clothes and dieting, and the children were not growing strong! Oh, thinking about it, I still feel sad! This is fate! We and my wife estimate that this family will not survive for long, who knows? , we actually moved from the Ministry of Industry to Dahuangzhuang!"
When Mrs. Wang said this, she stopped and said, "We're home, let's go in!"
Mrs. Wang opened the door and walked in with the three of them.
Taking advantage of the skylight, Mrs. Wang lit the oil lamp, and the room suddenly lit up.
"You guys sit down, drink tea and eat some snacks first, my sister-in-law will start cooking, and I will bring wine and food back!"
Mrs. Wang brought out a plate of dried sweet potatoes and a teapot. After saying hello, she hurried to the kitchen.
The three of them looked around the lobby.
This is a three-bedroom apartment that looks ordinary, but is extremely neat and gives people a different feeling.
There are three red good news stickers on the lobby wall.
After several days of intensive literacy training, Li Hongji's uncle and nephew barely managed to recognize it together.
Since Zhang Xianzhong had read books, there was naturally no obstacle. However, after he attended Mrs. Wang’s cultural class, he naturally stopped talking about his so-called elementary education. Therefore, he did not go out of his way to say it, let alone say it here. At that time, he went to show off in front of Li Hongji's uncle and nephew.
The first one is written by Wang Du, the leader of the smelting team of Dahuangzhuang Iron and Steel Plant. Because he put forward effective suggestions and reduced the use of coal, he is hereby commended and awarded a hundred taels of silver! For encouragement!
The second one is a donation certificate!
It was written that Wang Du was enthusiastic about public welfare and donated a hundred taels of silver to support the construction of Shaanxi!
The third picture is of classmate Wang Yu, who received a certificate for excellent performance in the exam.
All three of them were greatly touched!
Li Hongji said: "Brother Wang is really amazing! Dahuangzhuang Iron and Steel Plant is also amazing!"
Zhang Xianzhong said: "Yes, I was rewarded one hundred taels for making an opinion! This is really a lot of money!"
Li Guo hesitated for a moment and whispered: "But the money was donated immediately after changing hands, and it didn't even get warm. Could it be that it was a forced donation?"
Li Hongji and Zhang Xianzhong were stunned.
Li Hongji shook his head and said: "Probably not!"
Zhang Xianzhong said: "It's hard to say!"
Footsteps sounded, and the three of them turned around, but it was Mrs. Wang who left and returned.
"The rice is cooking. My sister-in-law is here to talk to you. Are you looking at the good news? Do you recognize it all?"
Li Hongji smiled and said: "I can barely recognize a lot of them, and since they are all marked with pinyin, we can be considered to have read them all and understand the meaning!"
Sister-in-law Wang praised: "Not bad! In less than five days, this progress is very impressive!"
All three of them felt proud. Even if there was only a woman in front of them praising them, it would still be a different feeling!
After all, this is the result of their hard work day and night these days!
Li Guo said: "Uncle Wang is so awesome. He rewarded one hundred taels at a time! But...why didn't Uncle Wang keep it? But he donated it in the blink of an eye?"
Mrs. Wang glanced at Li Guo and said with a half-smile, "There's something wrong with your question itself!"
Li Guo panicked.
Sister-in-law Wang sighed: "I don't blame you for your wild thoughts. Sister-in-law, I don't blame you! My husband and I decided to donate this money!"
It's not forced by anyone, it's all voluntary! Nowadays, there is no difference in our lives whether we have this money or not. But if we donate it, many people can get a life-saving food! "
All three of them were ashamed and embarrassed.
Sister-in-law Wang added: "Speaking of which, you and I are half fellow villagers. My ancestral home is Shaanxi Prefecture. That's why Hongji and you two came to me for help that day, so I couldn't bear to help you! Well, I still Let’s talk about this donation. I have to tell you this clearly! We can’t let you misunderstand our Dahuang Village, Mr. Huang and His Majesty! That can never happen!”
Sister-in-law Wang looked at the three of them and said, "I have an unwritten rule in Dahuang Village. You must remember it!"
All three of them were shocked.
Sister-in-law Wang said: "That means we must never slander or slander His Majesty, the empress, and Mr. Huang, even in our hearts!"
What she said was very decisive and her tone was very serious!
"Once discovered, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat. At least you will be expelled from Dahuang Village, and at worst you may be beaten to death with a stick! Do you remember?"
The three nodded.
Sister-in-law Wang said: "This is not a rule set by His Majesty or Mr. Huang. It is set by all of us voluntarily, and no one will ever violate it. You just came here, and my sister-in-law told you now, don't be weird."
Zhang Xianzhong said: "Thank you, sister-in-law, we will take care of it."
Sister-in-law Wang said: "Mr. Huang's medical skills are superb, and the drugs he develops are making money every day, but he donates all the millions of taels of silver he earns and uses them on more than 100,000 of us people. Compared with Mr. Huang, what does my one hundred taels count?
My husband works in a steel factory, and his salary is 5 taels a month, and the factory pays for clothes and food. I work in the cafeteria, and I get 1 tael a month, and the food and clothing are also provided. My son is in school, and he doesn’t spend a penny on clothes. , paper and pens, meals, and accommodation are all provided by the school for free! "
"No matter how much we spend in a month, our family can still save more than five taels of silver. Therefore, we are not short of money! The reason why we have such a good life today is thanks to His Majesty and Mr. Huang. My husband gave me a small What’s your suggestion compared to His Majesty’s kindness?”
"As a human being, you know how to repay kindness! My contribution to Dahuangzhuang Iron and Steel Plant is a small repayment of His Majesty's kindness. How can I get rewards with peace of mind? But the rules are like this, we can only follow Mr. Huang's example Donate this money!”
"Don't look at the certificate posted here. In fact, Mistress Yueniang refused to do this! She said that Mr. Huang said that it would be bad if everyone imitated this matter. We have been begging for a long time, Mistress Yueniang. I reluctantly agreed, but I was told not to publicize it!"
"After my son got the certificate, he insisted on posting his father's certificate too, so you can see it. I will put it away later. This matter was caused by our carelessness! You don't want to spread it outside."
The three of them were so shocked that they were speechless!
It turns out to be like this!
It turns out to be like this!
It’s really unexpected!
It’s the end of the month again, and Spinach has to work overtime. I’ll write more next month. Please subscribe!
