Siheyuan: Spring and Autumn

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the end of the year, and the thing Qin Zheng had been worried about finally happened.

At the factory meeting, even though Qin Zheng reminded people to pay attention to production safety, Jia Dongxu still hung it on the wall on December 12th.

The pillar of the family died in an industrial accident. Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu, who was pregnant, felt like the sky was falling. Led by Yi Zhonghai, they went to the steel rolling mill.

meeting room.

Deputy factory director Zhang Xiaosong, who is in charge of safety, Xiao Jun, the chief of security, and Du Xiaodong, the workshop director, felt very sad when they saw the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jia family crying. How long had it been since such an incident occurred in the factory?

Yes, the last work-related death occurred five years ago.

In the steel mill, work-related injuries are not a big deal, but work-related deaths are indeed not too many.

However, according to the investigation results, it can be determined that Jia Dongxu's death at work was caused by Jia Dongxu's operational error.

"I don't care. My son is already dead. You can't throw dirty water on him. I will never agree to it."

Jia Zhang's face was red from crying. She and her son had a very deep relationship. After her husband died, she, a widow, worked hard to raise Jia Dongxu. They depended on each other for more than ten years, but suddenly they were separated forever.

"Auntie Jia, we are not trying to throw dirty water on Jia Dongxu. We are just being realistic. We need to look forward and take care of the living. Now, let's talk about compensation."

"I demand 1,000 yuan in compensation and a work quota for my family."

Thinking of what Yi Zhonghai had said on the road, Jia Zhang asked for a huge amount of money.

Zhang Xiaosong shook his head: "According to the factory's compensation standards, the factory can only compensate 300 yuan. Of course, Jia Dongxu's work quota is still yours. It's up to you to decide who will take over."

"No, it's too low."

Yi Zhonghai cooperated: "Director Zhang, Jia Dongxu is the only one who earns money to support the Jia family. Now he is gone. Even if someone goes to work, the initial salary will definitely not be high. There are only orphans and widows left in their family now, and Jia Dongxu's wife is pregnant. Please consider the actual situation of the Jia family and increase the compensation standard."

"Where's Qin Zheng? Ask him to come out. They are all from the same hospital. Is it appropriate for him, as a leader, not to show up for such a big matter?"

At this time, Jia Zhang was no longer afraid of Qin Zheng, and she even hoped that he could come forward to seek some benefits for her family.

Zhang Xiaosong and Xiao Jun looked at each other and understood what the other meant.

"Qin Zheng is the chief engineer of the factory and is not in charge of safety work. Let's put it this way. Taking into account the special circumstances of the Jia family, the compensation standard will be increased by 100 yuan. This is the final amount."

Zhang Xiaosong's voice was firm and unquestionable.

Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu both looked at Yi Zhonghai, waiting for him to make a decision.

"Director Zhang, Jia Dongxu's mother is almost fifty years old and is not fit to work. His wife is pregnant and cannot work now. How does the factory usually handle this situation?"

"She can go back to work after she gives birth."

Jia Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked, "What about the salary?"

"After taking over, the monthly salary is 27.5 yuan, which is equivalent to the salary of a first-level worker. After the grade is determined, it will be adjusted according to the grade."

Having reached this result, there was no need to talk further, but Jia Zhang was still not satisfied.

"My son Dongxu is a third-level worker with a monthly salary of 37.5 yuan. He will lose yuan a month. How can my family survive?"

After saying that, Jia Zhang laid on the conference table, burst into tears, and slapped the table with her hands, and the scene began to become chaotic.

"Mom, mom, don't do this."

Qin Huairu pulled Jia Zhangshi and said this, and she also started crying, her eyes were really full of tears.

Seeing that Jia Zhang was out of control, Yi Zhonghai hurried to persuade her, and the factory leaders were also very upset.

"Brother Zheng, I heard that there was an accident in workshop No. 3. Jia Dongxu from your hospital was caught in the machine and died before he could be sent to the hospital."

After hearing what Yu Li said, Qin Zheng was a little dazed. The inertia of the plot was really unsolvable.

At the last meeting, he specifically mentioned that the factory should pay attention to safety work. Even though this made Zhang Xiaosong, the deputy director in charge of safety, unhappy, he did not care. Unexpectedly, it still did not change Jia Dongxu's fate.

"You really can't think too highly of yourself. Some people's fate really can't be changed."

Although he thought so in his heart, Qin Zheng knew that Jia Dongxu's fate had not changed, which was not surprising. After all, Qin Zheng only mentioned it and did not put much effort into it.

To put it bluntly, we are just neighbors in the same courtyard.

"Jia Dongxu's mother and daughter-in-law are in the factory meeting room, discussing compensation with Deputy Director Zhang."

"Oh, I'll go take a look."

If he didn't know, there was no need for Qin Zheng to show up, after all, it was not his job.

But now I know. After all, we are from the same hospital. It would be a bit unkind of me if I didn't step forward when such a big thing happened.

When Qin Zheng walked into the conference room, it was very chaotic and noisy. Jia Zhang had just been crying with tears and snot all over her face. She was still sobbing, but her mood had improved a little.

When she looked up and saw Qin Zheng coming in, Jia Zhang's sobbing stopped immediately. However, thinking of her dead son, she became bolder again. She stood up suddenly and said loudly:

"Qin Zheng, we are from the same courtyard. My Dongxu died today. You are the leader, so you should at least say something for me."

"Aunt Jia, please sit down. I'll ask about the situation first."

Zhang Xiaosong and others stood up and greeted Qin Zheng.

"Director Zhang, Jia Dongxu and I used to be in the same courtyard. I just heard that something unfortunate happened to him. I came to find out about the compensation."

"It turned out that Chief Engineer Qin and the Jia family lived in the same courtyard. The thing is, we took into account that the Jia family only had the elderly, the weak, women and children left, so we added 300 yuan to the original factory compensation standard of 100 yuan. The work quota was also left to the Qin family, and they arranged someone to take over. The successor's monthly salary will be 27.5 yuan before the grade is determined, and after the grade is determined, the corresponding salary will be adjusted according to the grade."

"Aunt Jia, this compensation is quite reasonable. It has taken your family situation into consideration."

"My Dongxu family earns over 30 yuan a month, and we've been living a tight life in the past few years. Now that my monthly salary has dropped by 10 yuan, won't life be even harder?"

Qin Zheng patiently explained: "The factory is a public institution, and there are standards for compensation for injuries and deaths. There is not much room for bargaining. In the past, only Dongxu in your family had a ration. If sister-in-law Huairu takes over, her household registration can be transferred to the city, and then the children will also have a ration, the food problem can be solved, and life will gradually get better."

In the past three years, Jia Dongxu has spent a lot of time and money to buy food on the black market, because he is the only one in the family who has a fixed amount of food.
