It was quiet outside the house. To celebrate the first day of living in a new house, Xu Nannan bought some lo mei, cut pork and came back with a delicious meal.
Now I live outside with Xiaoman, and I have a source of income. If I want to buy something in the future, I don't need to care about outsiders, and I don't need to worry about Xiaoman. As for more precautions, Xu Nannan didn't care. If in order not to be suspected, he always acted cautiously, and his life would be too aggrieved.
After a good meal, the two sisters lay down on the soft bed. They sighed comfortably.
Xu Xiaoman said, "Sister, is it really okay for us to live in this house? I think Sister Wu Qing is not very happy."
"We don't care whether people are happy or not. The important thing is that we live comfortably. As long as we don't do anything harmful, we have a clear conscience."
Xu Nannan would not listen to Wu Qing's words at all. She knew that in this era there would be some activists sacrificing their own personal interests to obtain honors. For example, Xu Jiansheng and his wife did not raise their own children, but they raised their nephews and nieces so well. Isn't it just for a little fame? But Xu Nannan felt that he couldn't do it.
From scratch, this is all she has earned bit by bit, maybe her luck is also in it, and she has fought for it herself. If others want it, fight for it yourself, there is no reason for her to give it in vain. Just like what Wu Qing said, let her live in the single dormitory and give up the house. She only does this kind of thing when her brain is squeezed by the door.
"Nannan, I heard that you have a house, is it true?"
The next day, as soon as Xu Nannan arrived at the Mining Committee, someone asked her about it.
"What are you asking? Nan Nan and I have something to talk about." Zhu Fang came over, stopped him, and dragged Xu Nannan outside to whisper.
Once outside, Zhu Fang frowned, "You were not in the dormitory last night, and Jiang Lili didn't ask when she came back. She was very happy. Then Wu Qing didn't know what was wrong, and suddenly asked when she was going to you Let's take a look, you said you have a house, and we will have a place to walk around when we are on vacation. I kept hinting to her not to mention it, but it was as if she hadn't seen it. No, Jiang Lili went to the Mining Committee early in the morning Let’s talk about it, and report to the leader that the house will be divided.”
Now that Zhu Fang mentioned Wu Qing, she was very angry. Yesterday when Xu Nannan was eating, he also asked not to publicize it in the mine. They are not ignorant people. Although this house belongs to Nan Nan, some people can't resist jealousy. When the time comes, they will say some ugly words and do some embarrassing things, which will make people sick. In the end, Wu Qing actually said it to her face. If Jiang Lili wasn't in the dormitory, she'd better think about it. The two were happy and happy in private. But she knew what Jiang Lili was, and she had always had opinions on Nan Nan, so she said in front of her, didn't this mean to embarrass Nan Nan
"Let me tell you, I've already applied to change dormitories. It's boring not to live with them. It's really boring." Zhu Fang also felt angry.
When Xu Nannan heard these things, his heart sank at first, but it didn't have much impact. It's just that Wu Qing has been completely classified as a contact object.
"I also lost my eyes. Usually she looks honest and shy, and she is often bullied by Jiang Lili. I thought she was a very simple person, but I didn't expect it to be like this. She didn't do it on purpose. I really don't believe it. During the day, I said that my house shouldn't be kept, and at night, I said that I should go to my place to play during the holiday. Isn't that self-inflicted? It seems that I was the one last time, and I thought of the wrong person once again. "
Zhu Fang opened her eyes wide and asked, "What's the matter?"
"I took the exam last time. When I entered the exam room, I found that my pen tip was broken. If I hadn't had a spare, I wouldn't have been able to take the exam. I thought it was Jiang Lili who did it. I didn't want to make trouble with her, so I just I didn't say it, now it seems that it's not just Jiang Lili who has a problem."
Xu Nannan couldn't help but sigh, he still underestimated human nature. Especially human nature at this time. When she came to this era, she met many bad people. For example, the old Xu family didn't have a single good thing. But there are also many good people. Whether it's the people in Xu's Village who helped her, or the two elders of the Yu family, but also Uncle Wei, Director Zhu, and Zhu Fang. Regardless of who she is, at least she has nothing to say to her. So she still had an extra thought in her heart, thinking that although some human nature is distorted in this era, there are still more good people.
I didn't expect it, I missed it.
"This, isn't it, Wu Qing can even do this?" Zhu Fang also felt incredible after hearing this. In the past, it was Jiang Lili and Nan Nan, so she also felt that Jiang Lili had a bad temper, could not tolerate people, and was not easy to get along with. Now when Xu Nannan talked about what Wu Qing did, he suddenly felt goose bumps. In a dormitory, why didn't she find out that these people were hiding traitors? "No, I have to move quickly. If it's really like what you said, I will be sold out and I will be paid."
Zhu Fang patted her heart and said, "Then what are you going to do about this matter, now the mining committee has spread the word."
Xu Nannan's expression remained the same, "Just do whatever you want, unless they grab it, otherwise I will definitely not let go." She was really not afraid of this matter. Robbery is impossible. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, a lot of public property was indeed confiscated, but now that time has passed, and unless the county government comes forward to take it back forcefully, otherwise the mine has no right to let her give up the house.
"It's impossible to rob, and the leaders of the mining committee are not confused. Your house does not belong to the mine. If you don't take it out, the mine can't rob it. This is against the law and violates the interests of the people. This is old It’s the business of the social bureaucracy and the land. There must be someone in the mine who will embarrass you.” Zhu Fang reminded.
In the morning, the Mining Committee held a meeting with several new employees and asked them about their recent work situation. Just like what Zhu Fang said, the leaders of the mining committee didn't ask Xu Nannan about the house, and they didn't seem to care about it.
Mine manager Gao Yanshan was quite satisfied with the work reported by everyone. The quality of this batch of new workers is still very high, some are eloquent, some are down-to-earth and willing to work, and some have a good pen.
"You have been here for a while, do you dare to think about anything?"
Wu Jian immediately stood up with a serious face, "Report, I have an idea."
Seeing someone speak, the old mine manager Gao was very happy and let him speak.
Wu Jian glanced at Xu Nannan, "As a member of the trade union, we must protect the interests of the workers. Comrade Jiang Lili, a worker in the cafeteria, came to us this morning to report a problem."
When the others heard his words, their expressions changed slightly. Xu Nannan frowned, and looked at Wu Jian with a nervous expression on his face.
"Comrade Jiang Lili said that housing is difficult in the mine now. She and her partner have not been married until now because of the house. They were worried about the difficulties in the mine before, so they didn't mention this matter. But she found out yesterday that someone was alone. We live in two small rooms. Comrades, our mines are full of simple people. How many people worry about houses, and they can’t even get married. Several generations live in one room. So many people worry about houses, but some people live Two small rooms, what kind of mentality is this to live in such a nice house with peace of mind."
When everyone heard Wu Jian's words, they laughed before they heard the back. Why did Jiang Lili not mention the house because she was worried about the difficulties in the mine? If mine manager Gao hadn't gotten angry, he would still be making trouble every day. Seeing that there was nothing to do in the mine now, I decided to get Comrade Zhang Liang's family to drive out my sister-in-law so that I could get married.
Mine Manager Gao was expressionless when he heard this. Then he looked at Wu Jian, "What is Comrade Wu Jian thinking?"
"Mine manager Gao, I want to ask Comrade Xu Nannan, she can't live in this house anymore, seeing so many single young people in the mine worrying about the house, she can't live in peace."
He called names like this, and directly directed everyone's attention to Xu Nannan.
Zhu Fang wished she could stare at this little boy to death.
She looked at Xu Nannan, a little worried.
Xu Nannan stood up with a serious face, "Comrade Wu Jian asked a good question. I have to say, I live in Ansheng. Why do I live in Ansheng? I came out of the single dormitory on the mine last night. Over there As soon as the house was tidied up, I moved out. Not for anything else, I just wanted to make room for so many single youths in the mine. Although it was only one bed, it could accommodate a single comrade anyway. To solve the house problem, I will never take up any resources in the mine, this is the principle I set for myself after I became a part of Nanjiang Iron Mine."
"Officer Xu is right." Zhu Fang applauded cooperatively. Seeing him applauding, the others also applauded. Although they felt that Xu Nannan was avoiding Wu Jian's topic and answering irrelevant questions, what he said was quite nice. If you can solve it yourself, don't bother the mine. It's really no trouble for people.
Seeing this, Wu Jian's face suddenly turned pale, "Comrade Xu Nannan, you didn't answer my question directly. You and your sister shouldn't live in such a big house at all. It should be given to other needs of the mine." people. That’s what an iron miner should do.”
Xu Nannan resisted rolling his eyes, and looked at Mine Manager Gao solemnly. "Mine Manager Gao, I think it is necessary to correct Comrade Wu Jian's thoughts."
Mine manager Gao didn't say a word, so he let the two young people speak. Now that Xu Nannan wanted to talk to him, he nodded, "You can speak freely about this matter."
Xu Nannan looked at everyone and said, "I think Comrade Wu Jian's thinking is not good, and it is easy to make the workers in the mine feel dependent. Our mine is to take care of the workers in the mine, but there are so many workers in the mine, anyone who wants to point the finger at the mine Waiting for the arrangement from the mine, what a heavy burden it is on the mine. Just like we used to work in the village to earn work points, we also paid attention to personal six labors and four fours, which is to encourage everyone to support themselves by their own labor. Otherwise, everyone If you don’t work, you have to wait for the village to distribute the food. Who will farm the land? According to Comrade Wu Jian’s thinking, those who work should support those who don’t work. It’s the same for whoever works for the house , I found the house by myself, no matter how I got it, it was earned by myself. In the end, I have to donate it, so I will just wait for the mine to distribute the house in the future. Others will see me like this In the end, do we have to wait for the mine to be distributed? For a house, the enthusiasm of the mine workers to work hard and build a society has been wiped out. I think this crime cannot be borne.”
"Xu Nannan, you're making unreasonable words." Wu Jianqi blushed and his neck was thick, and he didn't even add comrades. He felt that it was too embarrassing for him to be slandered by a woman. As a member of the trade union, it was really embarrassing.
"I think Comrade Xu Nannan's words are very reasonable." Mine Manager Gao said.
The others looked at Mine Manager Gao.
In fact, Xu Nannan has a house, and some people are envious and jealous, but if they really want someone to take it out, they haven't reached that level yet.
They are all cultural people, not so shameless, just want to take out other people's things.
If Xu Nannan's house was assigned by the mine, they would demolish the mine committee without saying a word, and they would also want to get the house out. But this house does not belong to the mine, so who can rob it
If you snatch it, you may not be able to divide yourself. There is no need to offend others for this matter.
When Wu Jian heard that mine manager Gao was on Xu Nannan's side, his forehead went dark.
Mine manager Gao is about to retire. After living for so many years, from before the founding of the People's Republic of China to after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he has seen a lot of things. How can he not know Wu Jian's thoughts
This is a typical case of sour grapes.
"Comrade Wu Jian's thinking is still correct. He is selfless and dedicated to our Nanjiang Iron Mine. This is a noble sentiment and a spirit worth learning from. Let's applaud him first."
What followed was a burst of loud applause.
After Wu Jian heard the applause, he finally regained his composure, his face was still flushed, no matter what, he finally caught the eyes of the mine manager.
After the applause ended, Mine Manager Gao looked at Xu Nannan again, "Comrade Xu Nannan's ideas are also worthy of recognition. It is a spirit of self-reliance and self-improvement to work hard to solve our own problems and not add burdens to the mine. It is our Nanjiang Iron Mine The spirit that all workers have. If all iron ore workers can solve their personal problems by themselves, our Mining Committee will have nothing to worry about.”
The comrades of the Mining Committee nodded one after another. Indeed. A lot of people come to complain every day, saying how difficult the family is, how many children they raise can’t eat enough, they don’t have a house to live in, and they have to go to the mine to solve it. So many people, how to solve it. Solve this, and that will come again.
Can't solve it!
Mine Manager Gao said, "So the spirit of the two comrades today is worth learning and promoting. I suggest that we compile today's speech into a draft and put it on the bulletin board for everyone to learn. Xiao Zhu is responsible for this matter." .”
"Yes!" Zhu Fang said loudly, her double chin popping out of her smile.
"Okay, this is the end of today's study, everyone go to work." Gao mine manager finished speaking and left directly.
Seeing this situation, Wu Jian was dumbfounded again. The mine manager, what does this mean? Should Xu Nannan be asked to hand over the house, or should she not be asked to hand over the house
He didn't know, the others were all clear-sighted, and the mine manager obviously didn't care about this matter. That's right, the mine manager has a lot of things to do every day, and you have a house to talk about, is it interesting? Even if you can get a house, how many people's problems can you solve? If you are capable, you can ask for the house yourself and report to the mine manager. Maybe I can send you a certificate or something.
Everyone glanced at him one after another, shook their heads and sighed, this is a good comrade, a trade union comrade who truly cares about the workers. Fortunately, it's not from our mining committee.
After what happened to Wu Jian, no one in the Mining Committee talked about it anymore.
After all, the mine manager didn't say anything, so what are these small officers worrying about. However, after Zhu Fang sorted out the manuscript, she read it in front of everyone, which emphasized Comrade Wu Jian's selflessness and dedication to the workers. Encourage trade union comrades to learn from Comrade Wu Jian.
Yes, to encourage trade union comrades. Who made the trade union have such a representative figure? Everyone has to keep up.
The comrades of the Mining Committee applauded again, all with smiles on their faces.
As for Xu Nannan's matter, it was mentioned in one stroke, leaving nothing to attract attention.
Workers can also know the situation of the mine through the bulletin board every day. After work, everyone has to go to the cafeteria over there, and subconsciously take a look, yo, something new has come out.
After standing and watching for a while, they all nodded when they saw the content above.
This trade union is really good at doing things. This kind of spirit is good. In the future, if we have any problems, we can go to the trade union to solve them.
Xu Meizi also saw the news on the bulletin board, and when she saw Wu Jian being praised, she felt as if she had drunk honey.
She is fifteen years old, a sensible age. He often stays with Xu Hong, and he is sensible and understands feelings earlier. Although she had promised her mother, Liu Qiao, that she would consider personal issues after she was admitted to university, but now that she had no hope of being admitted to university, she naturally had to prepare for herself.
This Wu Jian is a good-looking man, has a degree, and is still registered in the city. I heard that he is the only son in the family, and everything will be his in the future.
Xu Meizi knew her own situation, and she couldn't go to college anymore. At most, she was a girl with a rural household registration, and she was also an apprentice in a mine. With no registered permanent residence, no formal employment, and only a junior high school education, it is already the limit to find someone like Wu Jian.
She doesn't like Xu Hong's high-mindedness and low-handedness. Her mother said that she can do great things with great ability. So she felt that Wu Jian was the most suitable.
Moreover, Wu Jian seemed to have some interest in her. When the two met recently, they were able to exchange a few words.
When she is a little older in two years and becomes a regular again, she will be able to get married then.
Seeing Wu Jian's success now, she couldn't help but feel proud.
She didn't go home for lunch, so she went to the cafeteria to find Wu Jian. Still in the old position, he saw Wu Jian sitting there eating. One meat and one vegetarian, eating rice, it looks like someone whose family can afford food.
Several young female workers have already looked at him.
Xu Meizi also went to order a dish like Wu Jian did, with her chest upright, she walked over here with the rice bowl in her hand.
