Sun Ergou grabbed the banknotes and quickly put them into his pocket. His eyes once again shifted to the paper bag in Chen Zhen's hand.
"Brother Zhen, can you get me some of this bacon? I've been craving this for a long time!"
"Boy, are you also worried about your sister-in-law's things? You have the money, so buy it yourself."
Chen Zhen rolled his eyes at the other person and walked directly towards home, leaving Sun Ergou standing in a mess.
As a specialty of Pingjiang County, bacon is not something that every household can afford. Eating two kilograms of pork a month is not bad, not to mention that the price is more than half of bacon.
"Snow White?"
"came back?"
As soon as Chen Zhen walked in, Zhang Baixue walked up to him wearing a pink apron. There were already black marks on the apron, and the oil smoke was unavoidable.
Zhang Baixue held a shovel made from cast iron in the factory and said with a smile: "Wash your hands quickly, haven't you been craving this for a long time? I made it for you, now put it in the pot."
"What? Meat and egg dumplings?"
Chen Zhen opened his mouth slightly and asked curiously.
Zhang Baixue pursed her lips, bit her lower lip and nodded, her seductive big eyes made Chen Zhen feel even more excited.
"Haha, okay, okay, Bai Xue, don't be in a hurry to make the dumplings. Come over and see what this is!"
As Chen Zhen spoke, he took out fifteen hundred yuan from his pocket and put it directly on the table.
ah!
So much money!
Although Zhang Baixue's life in Qin Fenglin's family is a little more aggrieved, it is much better than other ordinary families, but he has never seen more than 10,000 yuan in cash!
"The goods in the factory have been solved!"
"Ah! Chen Zhen! Is it true? The goods in the factory cost several thousand yuan, but you just took more than 10,000 yuan back?"
Zhang Baixue couldn't care less about the dumplings. He threw the shovel on the chopping board with a clatter, with a shocked expression on his face, unbelievable!
"You have kept what your man said. Okay, put the money in quickly and eat!"
Chen Zhen took off his clothes and ran to the kitchen to pick up the yangzi, grabbing the dumplings one by one and putting them into the pot.
"Where's the salt? Put some salt, the dumplings will taste..."
Chen Zhen was rummaging for seasonings while talking, and his skillful movements poked Zhang Baixue's heart one by one. All the wariness in his heart towards Chen Zhen became more intense, and the smile on his face became more heart-warming...
Early the next morning, Chen Zhen's morning shift started at 6:30, while Zhang Baixue had to be more disciplined and go to work on time at 8:30 every day.
Chen Zhen looked at the sleeping Zhang Baixue without waking him up, kissed him on the forehead, simply washed his face on the water pipe outside the kiln, then grabbed his work clothes and walked towards the factory.
The road to the factory was not particularly neat. There were many potholes on the ground left by large trucks passing by. People were crying out loud, but the factory leaders didn't know if they were pretending to be deaf and didn't renovate them for a year or two.
"I heard that Liu Guohai came back from the supervision department. He was released after chatting all night last night. I don't know if anything happened?"
"What's the matter? The fact that Liu Guohai likes to tease several women has already spread throughout the factory."
"Besides, Liu Guohai has a small background. Otherwise, how could he and his brother-in-law sit in such a position?"
…
Chen Zhen passed by the office building and listened to the discussions of several workers around him. His face was expressionless. This was something he had expected. Liu Guohai naturally couldn't let it end like this. Otherwise, who would reveal the truth about my father's death to the public? !
"Brother Li, you had a good rest yesterday. Look, this is the money for the sports car that day. I got you fifty."
Chen Zhen looked at Brother Li sitting at the door smoking, and immediately walked forward. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he stuffed the money into his trouser pocket.
"Oh, we agreed on 28..."
Brother Li knew how much a trip would cost. What's the 28% share of the fifty yuan? He immediately waved his hand to refuse, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, Chen Zhen pressed him down: "Brother Li, you are still young. You don’t have to earn more money for milk powder, so just keep it.”
"You kid, okay, I won't be polite about that, Brother Li. Hurry up and get to work. I'll find someone else to deliver this iron box lunch to Old Zheng who is burning the boiler."
Brother Li nodded, looked at Chen Zhen with satisfaction, and then said with a hint of complaint.
Lao Zheng?
Since when was there a person named Zheng over there who burned the boiler?
Chen Zhen was stunned for a moment, suddenly stopped walking towards the machine tool, and asked with a smile: "Brother Li, I look familiar to those old guys in the boiler room. Where did this old Zheng come from?" ?”
Chen Zhen handed the cigarette in the direction while talking.
"Which family in our factory has retired and his son has taken over?"
Chen Zhen knows that the replacement of people in the factory is basically "hereditary". When the father retires, his son takes over, and when the son retires, his grandson takes over. It cannot be said that it has been passed down from generation to generation, at least for the past three generations, everyone has been here this way.
"Hey, I just saw that you have a strict mouth, so I will tell you this little news."
Brother Li had just received 50% of Chen Zhen's money, and he also had full trust in Chen Zhen, so he made a slight detour.
"Our factory has never had any precedent of outsiders coming in, but this time it is a breakthrough. This old Zheng has no background and has no relatives in the factory. I don't know how he got in, but..."
Brother Li lowered his voice, leaned into Chen Zhen's ear and whispered: "This guy is a deserter."
deserter? !
Upon hearing these two words, Chen Zhen's eyebrows instantly rose and then locked together.
The word deserter often appeared between the 1950s and 1970s, and the country punished deserters very severely. Such people are generally despised by people!
This man actually managed to get into a state-owned factory...
wrong!
The boiler-burning old man from the 1990s!
This person can never be...
Chen Zhen didn't dare to think about it anymore, so he immediately picked up his energy and asked softly: "Brother Li, is this old Zheng called Zheng Guangming?"
"Huh? How do you know this? Do you know him?"
As soon as Brother Li finished speaking, Chen Zhen took the lunch box on Brother Li's stool and waved his hand: "Brother Li, I gave this lunch box to you..."
"Chen Zhen, please don't talk nonsense..."
Before Brother Li could finish his words, Chen Zhen ran towards the boiler room.
Damn it, isn't this just placing a giant Buddha next to yourself?
What a person this Zheng Guangming is!
In the early 1990s, the wave of reform and opening up was gradually making waves.
State-owned enterprises and state-owned factories had no time to replace themselves, so they closed down in batches and workers were laid off.
At this time, an old man who was forcibly labeled as a "deserter" jumped up, against all opinions, and carried out batch reforms of state-owned factories in a lightning manner. The slumped state-owned factories instantly regained their former vitality, and the second spring appeared.
This incident alarmed the central leadership, and he was declared one of the great and outstanding figures of the millennium!
Zheng Guangming!
