If this love becomes a memory

【33】

When Hu Zi arrived at the county seat, it was almost nine o'clock. He parked his car and checked into the hotel to settle down. Get up and don't care about the consequences.The purpose of coming here this time is to get back the 20 yuan. It can be settled through negotiation like the master did back then. He thinks he can do it, so there is no need to bring the monkey's safety hazard.

After taking a shower, Huzi went out, found a night market, ordered a pot of beef and a few bottles of beer, and ate slowly.This small county is not too far from the city where he lives, only a few hours' drive, but in the past few years after the master left, they have not been able to find out where Jiang Yicheng and his family are staying.Maybe everything is fate?He remembered that before he left his teacher, once the team organized an outing in a scenic spot and met a fortune teller. People competed to test the characters and draw lots to calculate the horoscope. Only Xiao Yi sat on the side lonely. What?" Xiao Yi said with a smile: "My fate can be counted by myself: fate is impermanent, and the ending is bleak." When it was Hu Zi's turn, the fortune teller said that he had a stable life and had noble people to help him.Now that I think about it, the master's prediction of her own fate is accurate, and the fortune teller is also accurate in counting beards, but the order should be reversed: with the help of noble people, her life will be stable.

Hu Zi was born in the mid-60s. After graduating from junior high school, he failed to pass the technical school in the factory. The family wanted him to finish high school before taking the exam, but Hu Zi was really not interested in studying, so he joined the army and went to the army. After a few years, he returned to the factory and was assigned to construction. The engineering team has been working for ten years. From the bottom of the small workers, with their own efforts, they have worked hard to become the captain of the civil engineering team step by step.

In the mid-90s, the group company was established, and some units directly under it were rectified. The construction engineering team was placed under the engineering management department, and only technical management personnel were accepted. All subordinate workers were transferred to the newly established gardening department of No. [-] Factory.Hu Zi changed from a construction worker to a gardener, especially when he was transferred from a group company to the remote No. [-] Factory. He was very reluctant at first, but he gradually adjusted his mentality. Work is not just about going wherever you need to go.So despite serving the flowers and plants all day long, Hu Zi still worked very hard, and not long after he was promoted to the monitor of the flower class because of his outstanding performance.

Unexpectedly, before working for three years, the group company has stepped up reform efforts, abolished the gardening department, the head of Corey was transferred back to the company's logistics department, and the workers were all assigned to shifts in the workshops of the seventh factory.This time Huzi lost his mind, and people's prejudice against shift workers has not been eliminated. Isn't it the lowest level of workers from day shift workers to operators?He felt that he was like a chamber pot, which was carried and used when needed, and stuffed everywhere when he didn't need it.For the first time, Hu Zi felt that the sense of honor of being a worker for more than ten years was disappearing, and the sense of responsibility of being the master was gradually being deprived, replaced by a deep sense of crisis and confusion.

When he left the workshop, Huzi was assigned to the best position in the control center because he had done a good job in the garden and served as the monitor of the flower squad.At first his master was Xie Sanli, who was about the same age as him and had a good temper. He respected Xie Sanli for his ability to take care of his wife who had been insane for several years, and the master and apprentice were very appetizing.But Xie Sanli was transferred to the control room of the branch factory within less than a month of wearing a beard.Before leaving, Xie Sanli said to him: "I want to go to the workshop to suggest that you be assigned to Xiao Yi as an apprentice. Although Xiao Yi has only been transferred to our workshop for more than a year, she is eager to learn, has a high level of culture, and has a good grasp of theory and practice. All are very good. Especially in the transformation of the control post last year, the original dial operation was changed to computer operation. Her proficiency in computers is much better than our group of veteran workers who have worked for more than ten years. Learning from her is better than learning from other workers. Master is strong."

In this way, Huzi became Xiao Yi's apprentice.Perhaps because Xiao Yi was a few years older than him, Hu Zi felt that Xiao Yi got along very politely with him. When teaching techniques, Hu Zi often felt embarrassed to ask a question, but Xiao Yi still explained it over and over again with a pleasant face.In fact, Huzi didn't really understand much of what Xiao Yi said, and he felt that he had to get used to Xie Sanli's explanations.For example, when talking about the ratio of raw materials, Xie Sanli would say that if one valve is opened for a quarter and that valve is opened for half, the solution will be stable; Xiao Yi will first list an equation to calculate the required materials, and then use the computer to add and subtract .Hu Zi was not good at reading and homework in the past, let alone the principle of technology, those molecular formulas and chemical equations are like reading alien texts, and he is not good at using computers. It takes a long time to adjust an ordinary parameter, so, He would rather go to the scene and switch the valve manually than touch high-tech gadgets like computers.

During those few months, Huzi studied very hard, and Xiao Yi also taught him very hard. Later, in order to deal with him becoming a full-time employee, Xiao Yi collected all the test questions of the control positions in the workshop over the years, and Huzi had to memorize them by rote. Fortunately, Huzi has a good memory, and finally managed Barely passed the top post exam.

Not long after he was appointed as an independent teacher, Xiao Yi invited him to her residence one day. It was obvious that Xiao Yi had something to tell him. It was not my intention to get hurt." He looked at Xiao Yi, not knowing what had happened, and nodded in a daze.

"You also know that the group company has fixed staff and posts this time, and the other units are coming to an end, and the seventh factory has only started to act. Now it is adjusting the management and day shift positions. The next step is the operator positions between shifts." Xiao Yi said: " We now have more than 30 people in the main control position, with a minimum of 5 people and a maximum of 7 people in each shift. Looking at the shift room at the company, after the adjustment, no position will retain so many people, so if you have a relationship in the seventh factory, Or if you can improve the theory and practical operation in a short period of time, then stay in this position, otherwise, find a way out early and go to a safe position.

"Where are you going? Which position is safe now?"

"At the pump position, there is a senior master who is about to retire. While everyone is still waiting and watching at the master control position, it should be no problem for you to ask the workshop to transfer positions."

After hearing this, Huzi didn't make a sound. He knew that after working in the control center for a few years, he might even compete for the small squad leader. If he left this important position, it would mean that he could only be an ordinary shift worker for the rest of his life.Thinking of this, Huzi was very depressed. Everyone was going to the top, but he was so unlucky. It wasn't because he didn't work hard and was passive. The unit he stayed in before was canceled when there was a change. He might not be able to keep it, so he said, "It doesn't matter if I'm in the No. [-] Factory, otherwise I wouldn't get shifts. As for the pump job, I'll think about it. I know I'm low-educated, and I'm not suitable for a control job."

Xiao Yi glanced at him and said, "Don't worry too much. I'm not saying that you can't learn in the control position. In fact, some teachers in this position didn't even graduate from primary school. They stayed for a long time. With practice Experience can also produce qualified finished products. But the problem now is that I am afraid that there is not so much time for you to slowly explore and experience in practice, and the modified computer operation has replaced the traditional dial operation, and the degree of automation has been improved. The cultural requirements of the operators are also high, this is a fact. The competition for this position will definitely be fierce when the number of staff is limited. I don’t know where the redundant staff will be diverted. Therefore, if you are not sure about staying, it is better to make plans as soon as possible "Xiao Yi said, paused for a while, and said again: "Of course, this is just my idea, you can discuss it with Xie Sanli, he used to be your master, and he is now in the control room, and he knows the information. some more."

Huzi went to find Xie Sanli, but he didn't expect Xie Sanli to agree with Xiao Yi's proposal: "I'm worrying about you. If someone wants to retire from the pump position, then hurry up and fight for it. Now all units of the Seventh Factory are still going to the workshop. I am afraid that it will be too late when the workshop starts to adjust. I got a message that the factory department decided to dismiss all temporary workers at the end of the year. This means that employees who have competed for various positions in the future are likely to work Instead of working as a temporary worker, it is better to consider the disadvantages first and transfer away as soon as possible. The pump position is more than 200 yuan less than the control position per month, but the responsibility is not so heavy, and the process is not complicated. You are completely competent, so you can stay at ease .”

Hearing Xie Sanli's analysis, Hu Zi applied for the pump position. Although the workshop finally started to fill the position, it was the next year, but unexpectedly, only ten people were retained in the entire control position.The extra 20 or so people all went to the temporary waste disposal and loading and unloading positions in the workshop. The environment is poor and the positions are low. They all fell silent.Huzi is very fortunate that unlike before, he did not wait to be adjusted passively. Under the guidance of his two masters, he found a relatively safe and easy position for himself in advance.

But in his heart, Huzi has always been bitter about not being able to stay in the control post. Xiao Yi later brought monkeys and goblins one after another. It made Hu Zi feel inferior.And every time he saw Xiao Yi bring the monkey into the scene to explain the process and equipment in detail, Huzi would also envy him for a long time.

He always thought that Xiao Yi disliked his beard the most among her three apprentices. It wasn't until his marriage changed in 2000 and Xiao Yi helped him that he realized that in the heart of the master, the three of them actually had the same weight. .

That year, he accidentally found out that his wife, Xiao Wen, was having an affair. After several follow-ups, he confirmed that his wife had an affair with her immediate boss, the chief of the warehouse management department.As a result, the originally peaceful life became a mess.

Xiaowen and Huzi are classmates at the same table in junior high school. They had a vague affection for each other when they were in school, but the puppy love was hit hard at that time, so they didn't have the courage to develop it.After graduation, Xiaowen was admitted to a technical school, and Huzi joined the army. The two occasionally communicated with each other, but they didn't break through the relationship.After Huzi recovered and returned to the factory, Xiaowen, who hadn't seen him for several years, had grown from a yellow-haired girl to a beautiful girl, and Huzi had also grown into a tall and powerful young man after climbing the barracks. The two sparked a spark of love almost instantly, and they hit it off and confirmed their relationship.

But Xiaowen's parents firmly opposed the relationship between the two. With a keen and forward-looking vision, the old man clearly analyzed that an era of knowledge explosion is coming. Therefore, it is impossible for someone without a gold-encrusted diploma to be their future son-in-law. of.So, while Xiaowen's parents spared no effort to beat the mandarin ducks, they mobilized all relatives and friends to find a boyfriend for Xiaowen.During the years of their relationship, they have been secretly in an underground state, love very hard, and love very persistently.After breaking through the last line of defense, Xiaowen stole the household registration booklet from home, and quietly pulled the marriage certificate with Huzi.

When I went home and told my parents, my mother passed out with two grunts in her throat, and my father pulled out his belt in a rage, and pulled off his head and brains. Xiaowen, who was covered in scars, ran out of the house and found Huzi. The two hugged each other and cried. The wife was hurt like that, and she hated her 1.8-meter tall man even more. He couldn't protect his own woman, so he couldn't run to beat his father-in-law, right?Huzi took Xiaowen back to his parents' house, and cut half of the living room of more than ten square meters, only a bed and a small table could be placed, and that was their new house.

At the wedding banquet, no relatives or friends came from Xiaowen's natal family, Xiaowen burst into tears immediately: "A marriage without the blessing of parents, relatives and friends is not happy." She is good.After marriage, apart from going to work, Huzi put all his attention on Xiaowen in his spare time, especially after his son was born, he took care of all the housework, transferred to No. [-] factory, Huzi was assigned to a welfare housing, and the family moved out of Huzi's parents' house. A home in the true sense of your own.After more than ten years of marriage, Huzi thinks life is simple but quite happy.

The change of Xiaowen originated from a class reunion, which was popular in the market at that time.It is said to be a class reunion, but it is actually the group of classmates from junior high school. Except for a few who went to college and left the city, most of them graduated from technical schools and stayed in the company. That activity was organized, but Huzi didn’t attend because she brought her son. According to Xiaowen’s description later, she was hit at the class reunion.

There was a female classmate who was at odds with Xiaowen when she was studying. The husband she later married passionately pursued Xiaowen, but then married the female classmate when she failed. This female classmate took this matter as jealousy After more than ten years, the classmate reunion finally had a chance to let it go. At that time, her husband had been promoted to the company's middle manager, and she had more confidence to show off. The factory built Jiapigou.

Xiaowen lost all face at the class reunion, thinking about it, she is really useless. She used to be a character who was neither a cat nor a dog. Now, with her husband as the leader, she is so arrogant that she has repeatedly boasted that she lives in a mid-level apartment of nearly 100 square meters I thought that the clothes I was wearing were not worth a small hoop on someone's finger, and the 40-square-meter worker's house I lived in was far away in the remote valley of the Seventh Factory.Xiaowen's heart was suddenly out of balance.

Since then, the sequelae of the class reunion gradually became prominent in life. Xiaowen brought back some news from time to time, who was promoted again, who was transferred from the worker's position to a management position because of her husband, and then began to complain, complaining that Beard didn't read Zhang Diploma, complaining that the two families have nothing to do with no background, and even complaining that they didn't listen to their parents at the beginning.To his wife's complaints, Beard couldn't make a sound. At that time, he had already left the workshop to shift shifts. Compared with other classmates, he was very poor. He couldn't hold his head up in front of his wife, so he had to do more homework and work harder. take care of family.But what Hu Zi didn't expect was that once this woman had resentment, everything would be inconspicuous and her voice would be silent. No matter what Hu Zi did or said, all she got in return was complaining, until she put her resentment into action and directly and The boss has a relationship beyond the superior and the subordinate, which breaks the bottom line of Beard.

Huzi tried to communicate with Xiaowen, but his wife readily admitted her relationship with the section chief and filed for divorce.Huzi never thought of divorcing Xiaowen. In order to save his marriage, he found the section chief's wife, hoping to work together to take care of his family members. The section chief's wife was very frank, saying that the section chief had many women outside, and she couldn't manage it. , I don't want to care about it, as long as he doesn't get divorced, remember to give the salary to the family every month, and let him mess around outside.Huzi went to the section chief again, but the section chief firmly denied the relationship with Xiaowen, insisting that it was an absolutely normal relationship between superiors and subordinates, and also claimed that those who spread rumors and slanders should be held accountable.

Now the beard is gone. At that time, compared with the previous cadres, the quality of the company's leaders has improved a lot. They have long stopped playing girls and whoring, and have changed to mistresses and mistresses, and there are so many women who are so happy It is already a common phenomenon to dance hotly and arch into people's arms.As a small worker, the first thing I thought of when I encountered something in the early years was to find an organization. Now that the society has progressed, people's ideas have changed, and the organization doesn't care much about things in the crotch. Unless the family members report the situation, they have to There is real evidence, otherwise the organization will not be able to come forward publicly.But Huzi didn't want to make a big deal, and he didn't have any evidence: even if they put the two on the bed, they could say that the process hadn't started yet.After thinking about it, Huzi still had another long talk with his wife Xiaowen. He looked back from the beginning of their relationship, talked about the initial pressure and difficulty, talked about their married life for more than ten years, and talked about their common hope of a son, the whole In the evening, Hu Zi understood the reasoning and moved it with emotion, and his mouth was dry and tears were pouring down his face when he talked.

That conversation can't be said to be useless, Xiaowen stayed at home honestly for a few days at least, and after a while, his old ways sprouted, and he started to hop around again, and returned home at night.One night, after twelve o'clock, Xiaowen, who had fallen asleep, received a call, jumped up and smeared his face, and wanted to go out, but his beard couldn't bear it anymore, and blocked the door, saying: "Even if it is Just a chicken, people sell it for some money anyway, I haven’t seen you so cheap, hurry to give it away.” Xiaowen smiled coldly, and said: “I’ll give it away for nothing, I’m happy, I like it, and I’m willing.” This attitude angered me Beard, raised his hand and slapped him away, the woman gave him a disgusted look, and smiled again: "Look at you, what else can you do!"

That slap in the face gave Xiaowen enough reasons, and the next day he packed up his clothes and brought his son back to her natal home.Looking at the broken home, Huzi was quite desperate, thinking about it, killing the husband and woman and then committing suicide, but what about the son?Thinking about it, maintaining the status quo and making do with it, but that green hat on his head is uncomfortable no matter how he wears it.Huzi decided to have a chat with Xie Sanli, and if he continued to be aggrieved like this, he couldn't guarantee what he would do.
