1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Brother Tiezhu, why do I feel that the future profits of your business will be more profitable than my dealing in raw materials?"

After finishing the meal, Zhou Fengxia said with emotion on the way home.

"It can't be compared. Your material, if it is straightened, can equal the profit of my factory for many years." Chen Tiezhu said.

"In fact, for many production-oriented enterprises, the profit is really not high. The main thing is to sell in large quantities. If the quantity cannot be increased, the factory will be in danger."

"Then you say that it is okay to let them be distributors?" Han Xiuying asked.

"It's okay. It's mainly a management method." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Seriously speaking, I can have this meal today because of our Mayor Han. Otherwise, who cares who I am?"

"Be serious, what are you talking about all the time." Han Xiuying said unhappily.

"It's really different. Although I have heard of it before, I have never seen it." Liu Dayou said.

"Although Tiezhu has been talking all the time today, in the eyes of these people, the respect for Tiezhu and you is different."

"What should I say? Just put it in plain words. If you two have different opinions on one thing, they will definitely not listen to Tiezhu."

"Of course, my Yingzi is amazing. When we first met, these people almost fought with me for Yingzi." Chen Tiezhu said happily.

"Are you still showing off? Don't you see what you looked like at that time?" Han Xiuying rolled her eyes at him.

"Fragrant..."

At this time, Doudou, who was sleeping in her arms, shouted in a daze.

"Look at my eldest daughter, she is dreaming about eating delicious food again." Chen Tiezhu was happy.

"Brother Tiezhu, have you noticed? Since Doudou went to kindergarten, she seems to have become more sensible." Zhou Fengxia said.

"Yes, playing with other children and being supervised by teachers, children can more or less understand the importance of discipline." Chen Tiezhu said.

"She likes to go to kindergarten, so I would rather work harder to send her there. To put it bluntly, why do we work so hard to make money? It's not just for our own enjoyment, but more for the next generation."

"That's true." Liu Da nodded.

"In the past, I really didn't think about it. At that time, I was still in the farm, and my life was very comfortable. Now I tell my wife that I have to keep an eye on the children's studies."

"In fact, I suffered from my lack of education and knowledge. I was short-sighted and only saw a little bit. If I had a longer-term vision, I would not work like that in the farm."

"That's right. For them, the world they will live in in the future will be very different from ours." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Let's take us for example. In fact, we are much happier than our previous generation. What was life like before the founding of the People's Republic of China? Do we still have to live in such an environment now?"

"People are actually looking forward to the next generation. For all parents, they hope that their children can live a better life in the future."

"And to live a better life, it is not enough to rely on the family property saved by parents. If the children themselves are not capable, no matter how much family property you save, it will be squandered."

"I am a little worried now. My eldest daughter is now thinking about eating and playing. I have a heavy task on my shoulders, Yingzi, is that the case?"

"Then what else do you want? Doudou is only a little old." Han Xiuying said unhappily.

"It is good for the little guys now to live happily every day. Don't you always say that life should be lived like this, and you should do what you should do when you should do it."

"That's a must." Chen Tiezhu nodded.

"We will be busy with farming in the fields in a few days, and then we will have to build our house and mountain temple. Zhou'er, we can go out for a walk then."

"Okay, just notify me in advance. Can sister-in-law go?" Zhou Fengxia asked.

"You guys go. I'm very busy with my current work and can't spare the time." Han Xiuying said.

"In a few days, the county's labor export office will be established, and I will have to deal with this matter then. Next, I will continue to send people out, and I will have to keep an eye on the first few batches."

"By the way, I see Zhenwen is frowning. Will the impact of that paper be great? Should we make arrangements in advance or something? I didn't dare to ask."

"The impact will definitely be great, but I think the greater the impact, the better." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Especially the voice of opposition, the louder it proves that the issue has been raised to the point. This is also the future of our economic development”

“Ah…, it’s really worrying.” Han Xiuying said.

“It seems that if someone in the county runs such an enterprise in the future, they should pay attention in advance. Otherwise, it will be difficult to close it in the future. Once it is opened, it will be difficult to close it.”

“See, see, my Yingzi is such a leader.” Chen Tiezhu said proudly.

“Oh, be quiet, I will cut you.” Han Xiuying said unhappily.

“Hey, let the little guy sleep in my arms, it’s so tiring to hold her.” Chen Tiezhu said happily.

“It’s nothing, most of my body is on the seat.” Han Xiuying said.

“Anyway, I feel that the current work is really difficult to carry out. In the past, we were just running for a full stomach, but now it’s not possible, and we have to think about the long-term. ”

“Of course, if our goal is always the same, it means that our life has not improved, but has been put in reverse gear.” Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

“In different periods, the standard for a good life is also different. For example, we used to think about the training of children, but that accounted for too little in life.”

“What is the point of training when we can’t even eat enough? Now it’s different. People gradually understand the twists and turns here, and this is progress. Dayou, don’t you think so?”

“Very right. I used to think that the children would learn by fooling around, and then find a connection to get a job.” Liu Dayou said.

“Now I know that it’s not enough to think like this. Although you can live, it may not be a good life. Because such a job must be a very ordinary job.”

“If you really have the ability, no matter what job you do, it will be a good job. If the job is good, the treatment will naturally be good, and the life at home will be better. ”

“Hahahaha, the truth is true, that’s how it is.” Chen Tiezhu laughed.

Everyone else laughed too, because what they said was indeed the truth.
