Rebirth of the 80s

Chapter 80 [No.090] The beggar gang leader who sharpens the scissors and inserts the kitchen knife

The "confrontation" between the restaurant under the state-owned non-staple food factory and the private restaurant failed, and finally became insolvent. The factory manager decided to turn to management. After all, he was contracted to a private owner to open the restaurant. Being lazy and getting high wages, they re-recruited a group of small workers from the society and let all the original employees go.

Cao Yunfang and other employees of the original restaurant were not included in the establishment of the non-staple food factory, they belonged to non-staff personnel, and the benefits in the factory were not very good, so there was no way to accommodate such a group of people, so the factory manager had no choice but to say sorry to everyone and let them go. They went home and fended for themselves.

Although the workers felt uncomfortable, they didn't make a fuss. After all, that's what the factory manager said when they first entered the factory. It's just that everyone didn't think that a good restaurant would close down one day.

After Cao Yunfang lost her job half a month ago and came home, she was at a loss. In terms of net salary alone, she earned more than Xie Qingqiang. Now that the family’s income has suddenly dropped by more than half, it cannot be maintained no matter what. I didn’t know what I could do when I was working, so I went to several private restaurants and asked, they either wanted to hire some handyman, and they were young and strong, or the wages were pitifully low, and they had to pay more for a day. Working more than ten hours, these are psychologically and physically unbearable for a middle-aged urban woman with children.

But no matter how unbearable it is, life has to go on. Xie Qingqiang is more optimistic than Cao Yunfang. He said with a smile that it doesn’t matter if his wife can’t find a job. As long as his son quits meat, he quits smoking and his wife quits shopping, he can barely afford it. It was a joke, but it also amused Cao Yunfang, and joked with him, saying that she would not look for a job, and she would wash clothes and cook at home in the future, but the quality of life cannot be reduced, Xie Qingqiang will do other things to increase income , For example, after returning home from get off work, I would carry a burden and walk through the streets and alleys, shouting: Grinding scissors...inserting kitchen knives...

It's not good to make a big joke. In just half a month, Xie Qingqiang, a middle-aged man in the city, also lost his job and became an unemployed old man with neither education nor skills. Where can he get a job again?It seems that I really can only carry the burden to sharpen scissors and insert kitchen knives for others.

It is not the first time that the machine tool factory has let the workers leave with the cost of buying out the length of service. There have been two times before, and they are all workshop workers on the front line of production. Xie Qingqiang never thought of such a situation in his The unreasonable things in his eyes will also fall on the head of his sales department chief.

When the factory worker Lao Chen was bought out of his seniority, he was beaten to death and refused to leave. He dragged his family and friends to the factory to make trouble every day, which made the factory leaders feel very headache when they saw him, but in the end, Lao Chen unexpectedly was left behind.

With the lessons learned from the past, the employees who will be bought out this time are extremely united. They meet everyone to go home and bring their wives and children, and then invite a few relatives and friends to go to the factory to demonstrate and protest. Before, Old Chen could do it alone. , What are so many people afraid of this time, there is definitely something going on.

Xie Qingqiang is also a leader, and he is still a little conscious. He knows that buying out the seniority of employees is an extraordinary decision in the factory. Physically, he realized that it really hurts, not to mention that his wife has lost her job, and she is about to drink northwest wind and realizes what a fart, so the change in thinking is faster than the windmill, and immediately shouted the slogan of learning from Comrade Chen He asked Cao Yunfang to go to school to find his son, and then he and his father-in-law and brother-in-law went to the factory to meet other workers, and there was going to be a scene of trouble. If he was born to be a worker in the machine tool factory, he would die... die his mother!

Cao Yunfang was afraid that Xie Qingqiang and the others would do something radical and hurried to the machine tool factory, but it didn't look like that at all when they arrived. The workers said they were going to make a fuss, but they all sat empty Talking and laughing on the ground, adults smoked and chatted, and children gathered together to play eagles and chickens, a picture of a picnic.

Cao Yunfang pulled Xie Qingqiang and the others aside, and asked, "Didn't you say you want to demonstrate and protest? Just sit here and chat?"

Xie Qingqiang had a happy face, still thinking about the joke that the co-worker just said in his head, and threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground: "Hehe, no one takes the lead, so we can't start a fight."

Cao Yunfang thought that this was fine, so she told them what her son said to her just now. Xie Qingqiang couldn't understand after listening to it, and said: "What can Xiaojun and a child do, don't make trouble, let's talk..."

"No, what's the matter with the child, listen to Xiaojun, let's go back first." Cao Peishan, father-in-law, stopped Xie Qingqiang from speaking. He always believed that his grandson was no more than ordinary children, and also more sensible than many adults, although the grandson had never been in front of him. He showed obvious excellence, but he believes that his grandson is a person who can do great things, regardless of age.

Cao Jianjun nodded and interjected, "Brother-in-law, just listen to my... my dad, go back first, you can see that everyone is indifferent and can't do anything, waiting for this is a waste of time."

Cao Jianjun thought that his nephew and little Liu Hua were good friends, and they were very close. Now that little Liu Hua became rich and became the big boss, since his nephew said he was going to find someone, he probably went to find little Liu Hua. If little Liu Hua came I can also get close to him and let him take care of him. The stock I bought last time was thanks to Xiao Liuhua telling him to endure it so that I didn't cut my flesh and made a small profit. Otherwise, if my wife finds out, I will die to God Look, it seems that little Liu Hua is really a talent, he deserves to make a fortune.

Xie Qingqiang was a little embarrassed: "The workers didn't leave, so I might be inappropriate if I leave first. I'm also the leader anyway."

"Leader fart! I have no food to eat and I dream of being a leader. I will be the leader when you take your wife and children to the street to beg for food. I will let you be the leader of the beggar gang, okay?" Cao Peishan hates son-in-law the most. With an indecisive personality, I thought that fortunately, my grandson is not like him at all, but like me, "Everyone is looking after themselves now, so why bother with you, whether you are a leader or not, go home."

The old man lost his temper, and Cao Yunfang hurriedly smoothed things over: "That's right, let's go back first, there are so many people here, no one knows who is not here."

"Then... let's go back, Dad." Xie Qingqiang smiled, and thought he would go back if he wanted to. Why is the usually kind old man acting so fierce to me today as if he had been poisoned.

Cao Peishan gave him a blank look, and walked forward with his hands behind his back, saying that the old man married his beautiful daughter to you in the hope that you can make her live a happy life, and now you are making her almost do it The wife of the head of the beggar gang is really useless, but luckily she gave birth to a smart and lovely grandson, otherwise you would be so beautiful.
