Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 6: Feeling more timid when close to hometown

After Li Weidong became a full-time employee, he walked into a formal office, a board room, and wooden boards. Steel plates are so expensive now. Steel is hard currency. There is a shortage of steel everywhere in the country.

It is close to the door and can run very fast during earthquakes. This wooden house does not need earthquakes and will fall down if there is a strong wind of magnitude 8. Fortunately, it is protected by a red brick factory building outside.

"We all know Li Weidong. From now on, you can work together and get familiar with each other gradually. I don't need to introduce you one by one. Xiao Li is an undergraduate and a top student. You should learn more from him in the future!"

Li Shaohua, the leader of the process team, made everyone hostile to Li Weidong with just one sentence. Sometimes conflicts are established like this. The speaker is unintentional and the listener is interested. Maybe Li Shaohua just asked Li Weidong to motivate them, but these words made everyone feel that Li Weidong was better than them.

Already.

After Li Shaohua finished speaking, he left directly. His office was inside the red brick wall next to it. It was very solid. Of course, he could see the technology team when he went out. He was reassured that the technology team would not cause any damage in his hands.

There are two days off during the National Day. There is no golden week or long holidays. People across the country only have 59 days of rest every year. People all over the country are working hard. There are two days on May Day, two days on National Day and three days on Spring Festival, so asking for leave is the right time.

That's the kingly way.

Li Weidong took two days off, including Sunday, for a total of five days off. Li Weidong is not a local and can take time off to visit relatives, but he cannot take a vacation if he has worked for less than a year. And even if it has been a year, the factory is so busy that it is impossible to let it go.

You go on vacation.

The leader must agree to take the rest of the day off. Otherwise, how can we still work in the factory if we all leave on the same day? In fact, we have a holiday during the Chinese New Year, so don’t even think about other holidays.

Getting on the train back home, Li Weidong carried a large bag of things. Although the demand for tickets for some things is not so strong now, the supply of things in big cities is naturally much more abundant than theirs, and there are a lot of good things.

There are a lot of finished clothes, shoes, etc.

More than two months' salary was not needed in the factory. Naturally, he spent less and left more. Although these were the capital for his rise, he was reluctant to spend even a penny. What he gave to his parents, brothers and sisters was different.

The eldest sister Li Weihua is now married, and her husband is her father's apprentice. In the previous life, her brother-in-law, who was a bricklayer, fell off the scaffolding when he was in his forties. He held on for two years and passed away on the eve of the Olympics.

He left behind a son and a daughter. He was going to college with a small pension. His daughter was easy to marry, but it was difficult for his son to find a wife. It was not until he was thirty years old that his business started to pick up, and he got help from his uncle.

I bought a house and got married.

Before I traveled through time, I spoke to my eldest sister. Seeing that my grandson was having trouble with his daughter-in-law, I even tried to persuade him. Now that my nephew is only two years old, he can’t even speak easily. My daughter will not be born until the Chinese New Year. For this reason

I paid a fine of eight hundred.

The second brother Li Weimin was not married yet. He finished his studies after junior high school. With his father and brother-in-law working in nearby villages and towns, he was as tired as his grandson every day. Li Weidong tried to persuade him, but it had no effect. In his previous life, he married

It’s not bad to have a daughter-in-law, but I couldn’t get along with my mother, and they quarreled so much that I gave birth to a son and left him at the old lady’s house. She herself worked on the construction site with Li Weimin to earn money.

My younger sister, Li Weihong, has just entered her second year of high school and will take the college entrance examination the year after. Her grades are neither good nor bad. In her previous life, she was admitted to the teachers' college in this city. After graduation, she was assigned to a high school in the county. She worked as a teacher all her life and finally found a job.

My husband, who is also a teacher, is living a pretty good life.

Li Weidong leaned on his seat, looking out the window, and the memories in his heart slowly flowed. He felt that he had to live up to his expectations. Although he was doing well in his previous life, he did not live well until he knew his destiny.

The rest of the days were spent worrying about money.

He is a lazy person, but at this moment he feels that he should be a lazy rich man, at least not worrying about money is the lowest standard.

It was less than four hours of driving, four and a half hours of walking, and I was slowly delayed along the way. It was not a big deal if I could be late for a day and a half at the end. That was the way trains were at this time. Even in later generations, it was only after the emergence of high-speed rail.

Slowly becoming more punctual.

When he came out of the ticket gate, he saw Li Weimin waving a sun hat (straw hat) at the door. Li Weidong was relieved. He was afraid that Li Weimin would not see the letter he wrote. He was grateful for the speed of the postal service at this time.

Apparently it was because the ordinary mail tariff was adjusted relatively quickly this year. In the middle of this year, it was adjusted from four cents to ten cents now. Zheng Yang complained about this for a long time.

He handed the luggage to Li Weimin, took out a cigarette and lit it himself. He blew out the smoke ring and felt comfortable.

"Brother, you've already smoked a big chicken. These cigarettes are not cheap. Our foreman only smokes at the front door!"

Li Weidong took one look and knew what was going on. He picked up the cigarette case and handed it to his brother. Without putting down his luggage, he took the cigarette case with one hand, took a cigarette in his mouth with a shake of his hand, and lit it with Li Weidong's cigarette butt.

He put it into his pocket easily, and by the way he smoked, he knew he was an old smoker.

After walking out of the station, Li Weidong followed Li Weimin to the place where the bicycle was parked, paid five cents, and pushed the bicycle out. Li Weidong asked Li Weimin to sit behind him with his luggage and started pedaling by himself.

It takes more than two hours by bicycle to get to Lijiazhuang from the county seat. If you can't find a suitable car, it will take you five or six hours to walk on one pair of legs. And Li Weidong was already familiar with this road four years ago.

Most of the time we go back and forth on foot. Sometimes we can meet an ox cart along the way, and some kindhearted people will let us go along for a ride.

A pole, carrying a flatbread on one end and books, clothes and pickles on the other. He had to thank that high school at that time lasted two years and he had walked for three years, otherwise he would have had to walk for an extra year.

Along the way, I listened to Wei Min talk about the gossip at home, and followed his father and brother-in-law on the construction site.

Now that the conditions are better, there are naturally more people building new houses. Li Weidong's father, Li Chengwen, is a well-known carpenter, and he can also do some masonry work, so every house that builds a house likes to ask him to help. In the past, he was

Order food or something. Now everyone has enough to eat and the family doesn’t need food anymore. Most of them are given some wages.

A craftsman like Li Chengwen can be given four or five yuan a day, a craftsman like Li Weimin can be given two yuan a day, and his brother-in-law Gao Anbang, who is a half-carpenter, can be given three yuan a day, but there is not much work like this.

After Xujiawan, you will reach Lijiazhuang. Half of the entire Handong Province is plain and half is hilly and mountainous. Xujiawan is at the intersection of the two. Qiushan County is not an old county. It has a history of less than a hundred years. It was not until Li Weidong crossed

At that time, Qiushan County had not developed yet and was still among the bottom counties in Handong Province.

Lijiazhuang is located in a mountain col. There are hundreds of households in the village. Most of them are surnamed Li, and a few have a few foreign surnames mixed in. Brother-in-law Gao Anbang is one of them.

There is very little land in the village, and most of the villagers have never left the county. Therefore, Li Weidong is the only college student in Lijiazhuang who goes to school. Word of Li Weidong's return to the village will definitely spread soon.

Looking at the earthen house in front of him, Li Weidong felt very unhappy. If he hadn't insisted on going to school, and later went to BJ to study because the subsidy was not enough, and his family supported him, I'm afraid this house should have been renovated.

If you like it, hope to collect and recommend it, thank you
