Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon - Vol 2 Chapter 464

Chapter 464

Uncle Zhou used to be a worker in a machinery factory and he just retired last year.

However, after retiring, Uncle Zhou did not take time off, because his grandson is going to preschool this year, so taking his grandson to school has become a very important daily task for Uncle Zhou.

People who have been to the sixth grade of elementary school may be unfamiliar with the term “preschool”.

Those who have been promoted to junior high school in the fifth grade of elementary school have probably all attended this kind of preschool.

In 1986, the state promulgated the “Education Law” and began to implement nine-year compulsory middle school education.

However, the primary school at that time was a five-year schooling system, and the junior high school was a three-year schooling system. The total is eight years, which is one year less than the prescribed nine-year system.

The extra year is added to elementary school or junior high school, and different localities have adopted different approaches.

In some places, the year is added to elementary school, which becomes six years of elementary school, and in some places, the year is added to junior high school, which becomes four years of junior high school.

So in the initial stage of the implementation of the nine-year compulsory education, the May-Fourth School System and the Six-Three School System coexisted.

Until 1991, the Ministry of Education promulgated the document “Opinions on Improving and Strengthening Preschool Management”, which was formally established since then. “Exists in the form of.

The preschool class at that time was compulsory education, aimed at six-year-old children, and the main purpose was to cultivate children’s study habits and prepare for elementary school.

In fact, most preschools are learning the content of the first grade of elementary school. After entering elementary school, I have to learn these contents again.

Later, the country carried out reforms again and established the sixth grade of elementary school. There was no need for preschool classes in compulsory education to continue to exist, and preschool classes in public schools were therefore cancelled.

Nowadays, preschool classes are all opened in kindergartens. Many kindergartens offer preschool classes to teach children elementary school courses in advance, so that children can win on the starting line. Many children in the kindergarten preschool, even have access to the content of the second or third year of elementary school.

Six-year-old children have just started preschool, and of course they need to be picked up. In order to pick up his grandson, Uncle Zhou came to the mall specially and planned to buy a tricycle.

As soon as he arrived at the area selling bicycles and motorcycles, the salesperson greeted him warmly: “Master, do you want to buy a bicycle or a tricycle?”

“Buy a tricycle to pick up my grandson!” Uncle Zhou had a triumphant expression, as if showing off his grandson. Then he continued: “I have old arms and legs, so I should ride a tricycle safely.”

The salesperson immediately said: “Master, there is an elderly moped over there. It is a new product that can be used to pick up children. Would you like to see it?”

“Elderly moped? It sounds like it is for the elderly!” Uncle Zhou nodded with interest, then followed the salesperson and walked in front of Sanbengzi.

“Master, we have many styles of old-age mopeds!” The salesperson began to introduce them.

Uncle Zhou heard the introduction and couldn’t help but say: “What kind of old-age moped? Isn’t this a three-wheeled motorcycle?”

“It’s different. For ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, where is this shed behind? This old moped is different. There is a rainproof shed behind. If you sit inside, the wind cannot blow, and the rain can’t get wet.

If it is rainy, you will pick up your grandson from school, and your grandson will sit in the back, and you won’t get drenched! Also in winter, with this shed, it may block a lot of wind, and your grandson will not get cold.

Also, look at this seat again. The bottom of this seat is spring-loaded, so you won’t panic when you sit on it! You ride this kind of car to pick up your grandson, and your grandson can sit more comfortably! “The salesperson explained.

Uncle Zhou nodded in agreement, picking up his grandson from school to and from school, if it can cover the wind and rain, it will definitely be much better than a convertible tricycle.

In order to protect his grandson from the sun and rain on the road, Uncle Zhou decided to buy a three-bungee.

……

Uncle Zhou rides the newly bought Sanbangzi to send his grandson to school.

Looking at his grandson walking into the school, Uncle Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, and then planned to go home.

At this time, a middle-aged woman came over.

“Uncle, how much does it cost to go to the People’s Hospital?” the middle-aged woman asked quickly.

Uncle Zhou said in his heart, I can’t see that I am specifically taking my grandson to and from school, and I am not soliciting customers to make money. Why do people come to ask for the price?

Uncle Zhou just wanted to refuse, only to hear the middle-aged woman first quote: “Uncle, one dollar, do you go to the People’s Hospital?”

Hearing that there was a dollar, Uncle Zhou’s words refused, and he swallowed it again.

“This woman went to the People’s Hospital for medical treatment or visits. She looked anxious. Maybe someone in the family was hospitalized, so she rushed to the hospital! I’ll take her a ride!”

Thinking of this, Uncle Zhou pointed to the carriage behind and said, “Get in the car!”

A moment later, Uncle Zhou brought the middle-aged woman to the People’s Hospital.

“I am also kind-hearted and willing to help others. If I change to someone else, I may not be willing to send you over!” Uncle Zhou thought, and put a dollar into his pocket.

Then Uncle Zhou launched Sanbangzi and planned to leave. Two more young men came over.

This is a man and a woman. The woman looks haggard and looks like he is recovering from a serious illness, while the man carries a luggage bag.

Uncle Zhou instantly saw that these two people should be patients who had just been discharged from the hospital.

I saw that man walked up to Uncle Zhou and asked, “Master, how much does it cost to go to the bus station!”

Uncle Zhou didn’t specialize in soliciting people and carrying guests, and he didn’t know how much it would cost. He remembered the dollar that the middle-aged woman had just given, so he stretched out a finger and said, “A dollar!”

“Okay, Master, please take us to the bus station.” The man said, helping the woman to get into the car.

Not long after, Uncle Zhou sent a man and a woman to the door of the bus station.

Watching a man and a woman walk into the bus station, Uncle Zhou secretly said in his heart: “I am also kind-hearted. I am willing to help others. I think it is not easy for you to come to see a doctor in other places, so I will send you over!”

At the same time, Uncle Zhou tearfully put a dollar into his pocket.

However, before Uncle Zhou had time to leave, someone came over again.

“Master, how much does it cost to go to the post office?” the man asked.

“One dollar.” Uncle Zhou’s answer this time was much more refreshing.

……

Uncle Zhou’s wife walked out of the kitchen and looked at the wall clock on the wall. It was already past twelve.

The old lady was slightly surprised. It is said that by this time, the grandson had already finished school, and Uncle Zhou should have brought the child back.

“Lao Zhou hasn’t returned yet, is there something wrong on the road!”

Thinking of this, the old lady was a little worried. She immediately went to the canteen downstairs and dialed the number of a pager on the public phone.

This pager number is not Uncle Zhou’s, but their son’s.

In that era, ordinary people definitely couldn’t afford a mobile phone. Generally, it would be nice to have a BP phone.

As for the elderly like Uncle Zhou, naturally, there is no need to be equipped with a BP machine. Therefore, if the wife wants to find Uncle Zhou, he can’t find it, so he can only ask his son for help.

After a while, the son answered the call.

“Mom, is there anything you want to do with me?” the son asked on the phone.

“Son, your dad went to pick up Yangyang, but he hasn’t come back yet!” the old lady said.

“Yangyang didn’t end school at 11:30? It’s almost 12:30, why haven’t I returned?” The son was shocked and immediately asked, “When did my dad leave?”

“It seems that I went to send Yangyang in the morning, but I never came back. Did something happen to him?” the old lady asked anxiously.

“Mom, don’t worry, I will go to Yangyang School now.” The son said and hung up the phone.

After another half an hour, I saw my son come back with his grandson.

Seeing the grandson is fine, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief, but Uncle Zhou did not come back together, the old lady immediately asked: “Did you find your dad?”

The son shook his head: “I didn’t see it. Yang Yang said that my dad sent him there in the morning, but he didn’t come to pick him up at noon. When I went to his school, he was crying alone in the classroom!”

“Where is your dad going? Could it be that you met a bad guy?” The old lady continued, a little disheartened: “Or let’s call the police!”

……

At the same time, Uncle Zhou just got a guest to the No.1 Experimental Primary School.

“Master, please hurry up, I’ll rush to pick up the child.” The guest said.

Uncle Zhou nodded, and said in his heart: “That is to say, I am kind-hearted. See you in a hurry to pick up the child. I will send you a ride by the way…”

While thinking in his heart, Uncle Zhou still chatted; “How old is your child and how old is it?”

“I’m eleven years old and in the fourth grade. They are all older children. I didn’t need to pick them up. But this is just the beginning of school, so I should pick them up.” The man said.

“I also have a grandson, who is six years old this year and just started pre-school.” Uncle Zhou stopped talking when he said this.

At this time, Uncle Zhou finally realized that he had not yet picked up his grandson from school!

……

Uncle Zhou rushed to his grandson’s school and learned that his grandson had been picked up.

So Uncle Zhou hurriedly returned home to participate in the family criticism meeting.

The object of criticism is naturally Uncle Zhou.

My wife and son screamed at Uncle Zhou for a long time, which gave Uncle Zhou a feeling of self-confidence.

“After you send Yangyang to school, it’s just after eight o’clock. You don’t need to come back right away. You are still hanging around outside, connecting to Yangyang after school and you forgot! You said, what did you do? Did you go find it? Those nonchalant women have gone?” His wife stared at Uncle Zhou angrily.

“How dare I! I’m a retired old man. I want money and no money, and power and no money. How can there be women who can look at me!” Uncle Zhou continued with aggrieved expression: “I am all morning. I’m not idle, I’m going to do good deeds!”

“Good deeds? What good deeds can you do?” his wife said with a look of disdain.

Uncle Zhou had no choice but to explain: “I just delivered Yangyang to the school gate, and someone came over and asked me to take her to the People’s Hospital. I guess this person should be someone in the family who had a sudden illness and was in a hurry to go to the hospital. She gave it away.

Then at the entrance of the hospital, there was another young couple who came to see the doctor from the county below. They had just been discharged. It was not easy for outsiders to come to see the doctor. I think they were quite pitiful, so they were taken by the bus station. Then I met someone who was going to the post office…”

Uncle Zhou began to explain the good things he had done all morning.

Next to him, Uncle Zhou’s son said: “Dad, you just need to be helpful, but you can’t forget about your grandson! When I went to school to pick up Yangyang, all of their class was gone, only left. Xia Yangyang is crying there alone!”

“That is, people are not relatives to you, you can’t throw your grandson aside to help others!” the wife said.

Uncle Zhou hesitated. He originally planned to treat the money earned by soliciting customers as private money and stay, but now this situation can only be confessed.

So Uncle Zhou said; “I’m not helping, I’m collecting money.”

“I’m embarrassed to say that I am helping people? I think you are losing money!” The wife snorted coldly, and then asked: “How much did you charge?”

“Pull a trip to collect a dollar.” Uncle Zhou replied.

My wife was taken aback for a moment, and then said: “You just said that you helped a dozen people, right? That’s a dozen yuan?”

Uncle Zhou had to honestly replied: “There are twelve in total, and we have collected twelve dollars.”

“I made twelve yuan in one morning? So much?” The wife and son were surprised at the same time.

According to this calculation, you can make at least 20 yuan a day, and 600 yuan a month, which is higher than the pension of the old couple.

“What about the money?” my wife asked immediately.

Uncle Zhou had to take out the twelve yuan that he received tearfully from his pocket, and his wife snatched the money.

My wife counted the money, then pointed to the leftovers on the table, and said, “Hurry up and eat, and send Yangyang to school after dinner, and then go to crowded places like hospitals and stations to see if anyone wants them. Take the car!”

Since then, the retired worker, Uncle Zhou, has returned to work, driving three jumpers every day, to hospitals, stations and other crowded places to pick up people and pick up passengers.

……

Rice, peanut oil, instant noodles and other foods are discharged from the back of the minibus.

There are several people sitting in the front row, some from the Civil Affairs Bureau, some from the Disabled Persons’ Federation, some from the Poverty Alleviation Office, and some reporters.

One of them said, “Director Gu, the name of the house we are going to is Li Zhihua, 41 years old this year. He turned out to be a worker because of the accident and caused a third-degree physical disability.

Li Zhihua could do some chores such as cleaning and sanitation in the factory. Later, Li Zhihua’s factory closed down and Li Zhihua lost his financial resources. Later, his wife divorced him.

Now Li Zhihua has a frail and sickly old mother, and a middle school son under Li Zhihua. Li Zhihua has a disability and cannot find a job. The life of the family of three is very difficult. ”

After hearing this introduction, Director Gu nodded: “Our warm activities for the disabled are to focus on such families. Not only do we want to give them things, but we must also find ways to help them solve other difficulties. Let these disabled and poor families truly feel the warmth.”

Director Gu said, the car had arrived near Li Zhihua’s house. Several people got out of the car, carrying the condolences, and walked into a dilapidated brick building area and found Li Zhihua’s residence.

After the knock on the door, an old man opened the door.

“Hello, is this Li Zhihua’s house?”

The old man nodded: “Yes, my son has gone out and has not returned yet.”

“You are Li Zhihua’s mother, right? Auntie, hello, we are from the Civil Affairs Bureau to give condolences and warmth.” Director Gu said with a look of enthusiasm.

“Consolation? Oh, please come in soon.” Li Zhihua’s mother said, she would invite a few people into the house.

Director Gu asked, “Auntie, what did Li Zhihua do? Why aren’t you at home?”

“My son went out to earn money.” The old man said.

“Make money?” Director Gu was taken aback for a moment, and said that a person with a third-degree disability, even if he wanted to find a part-time job, was not easy. It is estimated that he would not make a lot of money after working outside for a whole day.

Just think about Li Zhihua’s family situation. If you don’t go out to find work, I’m afraid the family will starve to death.

Suddenly, there was sympathy in Director Gu’s heart, and he said, “Auntie, this is our condolences to you. There are rice, peanut oil, and instant noodles. There is also a condolence gold of 20 yuan, you I’ve collected it too.”

Director Gu said, took out twenty yuan from his pocket and handed it to Li Zhihua’s mother.

This warming activity originally only sent rice noodles and other food, without condolences, but Director Gu felt that Li Zhihua’s family was too difficult, so he paid out of his own pocket and donated 20 yuan to Li Zhihua’s family.

“I am also kind, and I can’t see such a poor person.” Secretary Gu said in his heart, then waved his hand and said, “Hurry up and move things in.”

The people behind    immediately moved rice to walk towards the house. Director Gu and others also took advantage of the trend and entered the house.

“I will pour you water.” The old lady said.

“Auntie, no trouble, we will leave soon.” Director Gu said immediately.

“No trouble, the leader sit down and watch the TV first.” The old lady said, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.

At this time, Director Gu discovered that there was a 23-inch large color TV in the room.

In 1995, although the domestic color TV industry had fought two or three price wars, the 23-inch color TV is definitely not the equipment that poor families should have.

Then Director Gu looked around and found that although the room is not big, all kinds of household appliances are still available, such as refrigerators and washing machines, and they look quite new, as if they were only bought not long ago.

“These household appliances shouldn’t appear in poor families, right?” Secretary Gu secretly said in his heart. He subconsciously walked to the refrigerator to get fat and opened it. There were eggs, fresh vegetables, and a bowl of leftovers, which were stewed pork ribs with winter melon.

“Can poor families even afford ribs? They eat better than me!”

Director Gu felt a little puzzled, so he asked: “Auntie, what do you think Li Zhihua does when he goes out to make money?”

“It means driving three rounds.” The old lady continued: “A few days ago, Zhihua bought a tricycle, and he usually pulls customers on the road to earn some money.”

“So that’s the case.” Director Gu nodded suddenly, and said in his heart that recently, there have indeed been many more people on the street who are soliciting three rounds of customers.

Then Director Gu continued to ask; “How much money can Li Zhihua make in a day after three rounds?”

“This is not necessarily the case, usually it is more than 20 yuan. When you live a lot, you can make 30 yuan. If you exclude the gas money, you can always make 600 yuan a month!” The old lady continued.

“Six hundred yuan a month?” Hearing this number, everyone present began to feel uncomfortable.

Leading cadres like Director Gu must have higher salaries, and the newly hired civil servants can earn less than 600 yuan a month!

In other words, Li Zhihua, the disabled, earns more than those young civil servants!

Also send warmth! Also offer condolences! After a long period of trouble, they are richer than me!

Director Gu suddenly felt that his twenty yuan was spent a bit wrongly.

“I blame my kind heart…” Director Gu comforted himself.

……

It was the day when the basic living allowance was paid again, and the Hongqi Glass Factory was also busy all morning.

In the era of planned economy, Hongqi Glass Factory was a well-known state-owned enterprise. In the early stage of reform and opening up, Hongqi Glass Factory’s products were in short supply. At that time, anyone who wanted to buy glass had to be approved by the leaders.

However, after entering the 1990s, the situation has taken a turn for the worse. The tide of the market economy slapped Hongqi Glass Factory on the beach and the entire Hongqi Glass Factory has also entered a state of suspension.

The factory ceased production, and the workers were laid off. There must be no wages, and only 80 yuan per month for basic living expenses.

And every day when the basic living allowance is paid, the employees in the factory will come to the Hongqi Glass Factory early in the morning to line up to receive the living allowance. The Hongqi Glass Factory will temporarily return to the former scene of hustle and bustle all morning.

But by noon, everyone has finished with the money and went home, and the Hongqi Glass Factory will be deserted again.

In the Office of the Finance Department, Accountant Wang looked at the form and found that another person had not come to collect the money.

This is a weird thing. Everyone will be at the forefront of sending money. There are still people who are not active. It’s noon, and they haven’t come to collect the money.

“What’s the matter with Zhao Juxian? If I don’t come again, I will get off work.” Accounting Wang muttered to himself.

At this moment, the sound of the motorcycle’s engine rang out from the window, and saw a three-bungee rushing over in a hurry.

Zhao Juxian jumped off the Sanbengzi and quickly ran into the office of the Finance Department.

“I said Zhao Juxian, why did you come here? Others all took the money and went home. I am also kind-hearted, and I am waiting for you here. If I change to someone else, I will leave long ago!” Accounting Wang said.

“Thank you Accountant Wang.” Zhao Juxian continued; “Accountant Wang, please hurry up, I’m in a hurry.”

“In a hurry? Are you still in a hurry?” Accounting Wang curled his lips in dissatisfaction, and said in his heart, you are delaying my get off work, so I am embarrassed to urge me!

Zhao Juxian looked at his watch, and then asked, “Accountant Wang, okay? The train is still ten minutes away. I have to pick up people.”

“Go to the train station to pick up people, do you have relatives from outside?” Wang Accounting asked subconsciously.

“Where are there any relatives!” Zhao Juxian continued: “I am rushing to carry passengers to earn money!”

more than six thousand words, thank you parents for subscribing, thank you for your monthly pass! Have a nice weekend everyone!
