industrial overlord

Chapter 64 Drunkenness
According to Baidu Encyclopedia's explanation: Replacement, the full name is top name replacement, is a mode of work distribution during the planned economy period in our country, that is, after the father or mother retires, one of their children can be recruited to work in the unit. This situation is common in agriculture and forestry. , water, and mine systems are mostly.In fact, from the 70s to the first half of the 80s, this method of replacement was very common in various industries.It is extremely unreasonable to replace this system if one wants to delve into it.In the era when there was a huge disparity between urban and rural areas, the replacement system meant that an urban employee could not only enjoy better benefits than peasants, but his status could also be hereditary, and his children and grandchildren could continue to enjoy this benefit.

However, back then, no one would comment on the replacement system in this way. Everyone believed that this system was justified. For ordinary workers without power and power, this was the greatest legacy they could leave to their children.

"Master Peng, you are still so young and your skills are so good. Isn't it a pity to retire now?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

"Is there any way, I can't just watch my child fail to find a partner?" Peng Gang said, "My Xiaojun is very sensible, he has never asked me and his mother to retire and let him replace him. I didn't arrive, and I didn't think about it. It wasn't until this happened that I realized that Xiaojun had hidden a lot of things in his heart. As parents, we are really remiss. I figured it out, and I will retire sooner or later. Why not retire now and create an opportunity for the child? I have already asked someone to re-introduce Xiao Jun, the woman is in good condition, and her family said that as long as Xiao Jun has a formal job, he can handle things."

When Peng Gang said this, there was a trace of relief on his face, it was a kind of relief of sacrificing himself to seek happiness for his children.

Lin Zhenhua felt mixed feelings and didn't know what to say. After hesitating for a while, he asked, "Master Peng, what are your plans after you retire?"

"What plans can you have?" Peng Gang said, "Grow flowers, play chess, and when Xiaojun gets married and has a child, I will take care of my grandson at home."

Such an experienced and talented veteran worker, in his early fifties, raised flowers and played chess at home, and entertained his grandchildren. Lin Zhenhua could not see a trace of happiness in it anyway.

"When workers retire, male workers should be 60 years old, and female workers should be 55 years old. You are only 49 years old now. Will the factory allow you to retire?" Lin Zhenhua continued to ask.

"Normal retirement is of course not possible. What I want is sick retirement."

"Sick back? What kind of sickness?"

"I don't have any diseases." Peng Gang said, "If I want to get sick, I can only ask a doctor from the People's Hospital to issue a fake certificate. I have already found someone, and I can prescribe any disease I want."

"Then...does the factory agree?" Lin Zhenhua asked again. He thought that Zhu Tiejun had great hopes for Peng Gang. He hoped that Peng Gang would learn CNC machine tools well and become the technical backbone of the whole factory in the future.What would Zhu Tiejun think when Peng Gang suddenly proposed to retire from illness?
Peng Gang's eyes dimmed a little, and he replied: "Director Liang, there is nothing wrong with it. Director Zhu was very annoyed at first, and he firmly disagreed. Later, I told him about Xiaojun's situation, and he agreed. gone."

"So that's how it is." Lin Zhenhua said, he had nothing to say.

"Xiao Lin, I'm sorry for wasting so much of your time. Fortunately, Yang Xin learned from her. She has a good grasp of the operation of CNC machine tools. If you teach her seriously for a while, I think she will surpass me. .” Peng Gang pointed to Yang Xin and said to Lin Zhenhua.

"Master Peng, you are gone, what should I do alone." Yang Xin said in a crying voice.

"The factory should arrange someone to take my place." Peng Gang said.

"Meat eaters, let's go." Lin Zhenhua pulled a sentence, and then said to Peng Gang: "Master Peng, you are leaving, we haven't been together yet. If you think highly of me, Xiao Lin, I will be the host tonight, and we Go to the small restaurant at the door to have a few sips, and Yang Xin and I will see you off, okay?"

"Or, let me be the host." Peng Gang said hesitantly, "Xiao Lin, learn CNC machine tools, you are my master, and I have never served a thank-you wine."

"Master Peng, don't argue. I also know your family's financial situation. I'm a bachelor and my financial situation is better than yours. I should definitely invite you for this drink. The CNC machine tool is only because I learned from Americans. One point, you are not a master. When I was in the moving class, you always took care of me. You are going to retire, and you will not be called a colleague in the future. You are my elder. I should treat you to a drink .” Lin Zhenhua said eloquently.

Peng Gang was depressed, and when he heard what Lin Zhenhua said, he nodded in agreement.The three of them came to a small restaurant outside the factory together. Lin Zhenhua paid 20 yuan to the owner without saying a word, and asked him to serve wine and food.

During this meal of wine, the two men finished four bottles of 52-degree sorghum wine in one go, and Yang Xin jumped to stop him, but he couldn't stop him.In the end, both men were drunk, Peng Gang was carried home by his wife and children who heard the news, and Lin Zhenhua was almost carried home by Yang Chunshan, Yang Xin and Xiaofang.

Looking at Lin Zhenhua who was lying on the bed and muttering to himself, Xiaofang burst into tears. She had never seen her brother lose his composure. Will it affect the body.

"Xiaofang, don't cry, don't cry." Yang Xin tried desperately to persuade Lin Fanghua, her eye circles were also a little red.

"This child, why did he drink so much wine?" Yang Chunshan sighed.

"Master Peng said he was going to get sick, Brother Xiao Hua felt sorry for him, so he drank more." Yang Xin explained.

"Well, Lao Peng can't help it. If there is a way, who would like to stay at home before 50? This Xiaohua is also the same, and it's not his business. Why is he sad?" Yang Chunshan nagged.

Yang Xin was too lazy to listen to his nagging, and pushed him away: "Dad, you go back."

"Why, you're not going back?"

"Brother Xiaohua is like this, how can Xiaofang do it alone? I am here to accompany Xiaofang." Yang Xin said.

"Okay, come back and call me if you have anything to do." Yang Chunshan shook his head and left alone.However, he murmured in his heart: If a girl is not allowed to stay in college, now she knows how to love a man.

Yang Xin went to boil some hot water, scoured a handful of hot towels, and asked Xiaofang to wipe Lin Zhenhua's face.She herself was ashamed to do such a thing, although she wanted to do it very much.

"Xiaofang, why don't you go to sleep, I'll just watch Brother Xiaohua here." Yang Xin said to Lin Fanghua.

"You'd better go to sleep, I'll look at my brother."

"You have class tomorrow."

"Aren't you going to work tomorrow?"

"Or, let me see the first half of the night, and the second half of the night, he probably woke up from the wine, then I will go to sleep again. If not, I will get up with you and replace me." Yang Xin arranged.

"Okay." Lin Fanghua agreed. She now regards Yang Xin as her prospective sister-in-law. This kind of thing should be done by the sister-in-law. Since Yang Xin wants to do it, let her do it.

Lin Zhenhua didn't wake up from the wine until midnight. He opened his eyes and felt someone beside him. He thought it was his younger sister Xiaofang, so he said, "Xiaofang, pour me some water."

"Okay." Yang Xin agreed, quickly poured a glass of water over, brought it to Lin Zhenhua's mouth, and fed him to drink it down.

"Why is it you?" After drinking the water, Lin Zhenhua cleared his mind a little, only to find that it was Yang Xin sitting beside the bed, and he couldn't help being a little surprised.

Yang Xin said softly: "You're drunk, it was my dad and Xiaofang and I who brought you back. Xiaofang and I take care of you in shifts, and I'll watch the first half of the night."

"Oh, thank you." Lin Zhenhua said, "What time is it?"

Yang Xin turned to look at the clock on the table, but she couldn't see clearly because the lights in the room were turned off.She raised her wrist and pressed the electronic watch on her wrist with her other hand. A small light-emitting diode in the electronic watch lit up, illuminating the time displayed on the LCD screen.

"It's 01:30." Yang Xin said, feeling distressed at the same time.She heard people say that the light in the electronic watch consumes a lot of power, and pressing it once will use up the electricity equivalent to walking for a month.

"Your watch was given to you by Xiaofang, right?" Lin Zhenhua asked without words.

"Well, it's multifunctional. I saw it in Xinxin store, and it cost more than 30 yuan."

"Don't listen to his nonsense, the purchase price of this kind of watch in Guangzhou is only 8 yuan."

"The profit is so high?"

"Isn't it? It's much faster to make money in business than in factories."

The two chatted for a while, and Yang Xin couldn't help persuading him: "Brother Xiaohua, don't drink so much alcohol in the future, it scared Xiaofang and me."

Lin Zhenhua nodded and said: "I will pay attention. Actually, I didn't drink too much today. I drank more than this when I was in the army. It's just that I drank dull wine today, and I didn't know it. Drunk down."

"Brother Xiaohua, the matter of Master Peng has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to be so sad." Yang Xin said.

"Oh, I just feel sorry for Master Peng." Lin Zhenhua said, "Yang Xin, do you know that outstanding workers like Master Peng are the wealth of the entire country. In World War II, Japan was bombed The ruins, all the factories are gone. However, Japan has risen in just over 20 years after the war, do you know why?"

"why?"

"Because it has tens of millions of skilled workers, these workers are more valuable than those bombed factories. Workers like Master Peng are priceless."

"However, there is no way for Master Peng to retire." Yang Xin said, "If he doesn't retire, Peng Jun won't be able to replace him as a regular worker. Now that there are so few recruitment targets, people like Master Peng who have no background, That’s the only way to do it.”

Lin Zhenhua said: "Actually, things shouldn't be like this. I should be able to do some things, but I'm too lazy."

"You?" Yang Xin asked in surprise, "What can you do?"

"I don't know yet, but through this incident, I feel that I should do something. Even if I can't change the whole history, at least I will try to change the things around me."
