The next morning, Lin Qiangsheng arrived at Lu's house again. This time he bought a TV cabinet and brought it with him. It was made of wooden and very small, just in the small living room, and the 29-inch color TV was just enough to put it on.

When the refrigerator was moved to the master bedroom, it was filled with the food I bought. These were all brought by Lin Johnson. Some seafood were exported and needed foreign exchange coupons to buy it. These things also made the mother-in-law particularly happy!

Although it was the Spring Festival, Lin Johnson's sister-in-law Lu Lu still had to work for half a day. The house was being cleaned up, and Lin Johnson was busy working.

He saw that the Lu family actually used a coal stove, which was dirty and black, and the ash was also large. Most of the people in the Shanghai family used gas, which was clean and convenient. Only the residents in these old alleys still used coal stoves.

He took his own initiative to hire two people, dismantle the stove and replace it with gas. A small iron rack was placed with a gas stove, and the stainless steel shell was bright. Lu Qidao and Xiao Zhen took all this in their eyes. They were becoming more and more pleasing to this son-in-law.

After finishing work, Lin Qiang-Chengsheng sent away the two hired people. Both of them had accents from southern Jiangsu and were still doing small work during the Spring Festival. He gave each person 30 yuan. Before leaving, they stuffed them a pack of cigarettes. The two of them even thanked them even more. The old man congratulated him in a short time, which made the old man very happy.

At the doorstep of the house, Lu Qidao said to Xiao Zhen: "If it were the same, I would have done this job myself. I didn't expect Johnson and Johnson to hire two people. Our son-in-law is so generous in spending money, and he doesn't know how to make careful calculations!"

Xiao Zhen joked to his wife, "If the prospective son-in-law comes to the door, you won't be able to use you. It's not good to have leisure time. I think this money is worth spending. The people Johnson & Johnson is looking for are working very quickly. If you work for half a day, they will be done in half an hour. And it's so clean that you don't need to do it. This is incomparable!"

Lu Qidao nodded with a smile and said, "That's the case!"

The old man held his hands behind his back, thinking about it, it felt really good. The son-in-law arranged everything in an orderly manner. He didn't have to worry about it at all. Moreover, there were cigarettes and alcohol during the Chinese New Year this year, and the New Year goods bought by the son-in-law were also rich. It was great to have a daughter!

He suddenly remembered that there were so many household appliances at home all of a sudden. The neighbors envied them for finding a good son-in-law and a car. Lu's family really looked up among the neighbors, and Lu Qidao felt that he was so arrogant and proud of his appearance when he went out!

"Johnson, you have early at home at noon. Aren't you and Nana going to see the house? You can't go hungry!" Xiao Zhen said to Lin Johnson.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to eat!" Lin Johnson smiled.

Xiao Zhen nodded with a smile and said, "I don't know what house you are going to buy, but you have to take a good look!"

Lin Johnson glanced at Luna, then said, "Auntie and uncle should accompany us to see, and you will also help me and Nana's staff!"

Luna nodded and said to her mother: "Yes, mom, you and dad should accompany your daughter!"

The mother and daughter talked a lot last night, and also talked about the issues of going back and forth in the future. And their marriage. Luna meant to wait for another year or two, and they were still young, so she wanted to learn more in the hospital.

Xiao Zhen really yearned for that house and wanted to go and see it. Lin Johnson said what she thought was right. Xiao Zhen nodded and said, "Hey, then I will accompany you to see it, recognize the door and help you advisers!"

Lu Qidao sat on the sofa watching TV, turned his head and waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Just go and watch it, I don't have to go. I will stay and wait for Lulu to come back. I will start cooking in the afternoon!"

Xiao Zhen said to his daughter: "Daughter, let's go, let's go, let your dad take care of the house to make the New Year's Eve dinner!"

Lu Qidao nodded with a smile, stood up and said, "I'll heat up the rice for you now."

Lin Qiangsheng could see that his father-in-law really loves housework. It seems that his mother-in-law is very pampered at home. Fortunately, Luna doesn't follow her mother!

After dinner, it was almost half past eleven. Lin Qiang-sen got off the stairs first and stopped at the door. This simple building is a door-to-door layout, with four households living in each unit.

The walls of the building are grayish-white. Many people have built small sheds and warehouses against the walls. Wires and clothes rails are chirping on the roof, which looks very messy. In addition, long ropes are set up in the middle of the two houses, with various clothes drying on them. This is the old alley of Shanghai.

In the car surrounded a group of children playing. Lin Johnson took out a handful of candy from his pocket and handed it to a cute little girl and other children. The children screamed happily, and quickly peeled the candy with their dirty hands to eat.

Lin Qiangsheng gently pinched the girl's face and asked, "Which family is from? What's your name?"

The little girl is only four or five years old, with big eyes, long eyelashes, and a pair of small hands holding peanut candy and smiling. She pointed to the house on the left in front of her and pouted her mouth and said, "I'm from there, my name is Rongrong!"

Lin Johnson stepped forward and hugged the little guy, making the little girl laugh. He said, "Go home, it's time to have lunch!"

"Rongrong is back soon!" At this time, the family revealed a woman's figure and opened the window and shouted to the girl.

"Hey, it's mom! Uncle, goodbye!" Rongrong waved her hand to Lin Johnson and ran into the house.

Lin Johnson nodded to the woman. The young woman had no expression and flashed away as soon as the window was closed.

Luna happened to see this scene when she went out. She looked back at the little girl, then took her mother's hand and got into the car.

"Johnson, I wanted to ask you yesterday, where did you come from this big sedan?" Xiao Zhen got into the car, looked at him and asked Johnson Lin.

Lin Qiang-Chengsheng said simply: "Our company has established an office here, this is the company's car!"

Xiao Zhen was not surprised. How much does this car cost? Johnson & Johnson's company can have such a car. It seems that his and his sister's company are really profitable.

Xiao Zhen sighed: "How do you operate your company? Why is our textile factory so recession? These two years have been getting worse every year!"

Luna asked in confusion: "Mom, is your textile factory very in a bad mood? Why?"

Xiao Zhen sighed and said, "Yes, we don't know why, but the efficiency of the factory has suddenly become worse in the past two years!

The business has been reduced a lot. If there is no work, we can only give workers a holiday. More than half of the workers have been on holiday for more than half a year, and their wages can only be 30%. In this way, many workers have come to our factory and ask for solutions to their work problems and respond to their superiors. But we have no choice. It seems that this is the overall problem in the city, not only our textile factory. Now everyone doesn’t know what’s wrong with the factory and why it’s like this!”

The car drove out of the alley and drove onto the street. Luna looked at her mother's eyes with a sad look. She said to Lin Johnson: "Johnson, do you know?" The girl seemed to feel that her lover knew a lot and wanted him to help her mother.

Lin Qiangsheng shook his head helplessly and said, "This is a problem from the upper class. I don't know much about it. Logically speaking, China's population has exceeded 1.1 billion this year. With such a large population base, how much clothes do you need to produce every day to meet the needs of the people. How can you not need a textile factory? My aunt's factory is in a downturn. I think there is only one reason, that is, your job was taken away by other factories!

Shanghai.hai is the largest textile industry base developed after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It has more than 500,000 female textile workers and dozens of textile factories of all sizes. The difficulties are integrity, and it is not just your factory.

Now all over the country are demanding development, especially in the coastal special zones, with investment from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan businessmen, the light industry is developing very quickly. The quality of their new equipment products is good, forming a new modern textile industry base, so you snatch your orders! Now the textile factory in Shanghai is not the most difficult period, and I estimate that this situation will be even worse in a few years!"

Xiao Zhen was shocked a lot, had to nod and said heavily: "Johnson & Johnson, you are right. I heard from the leader that this is the case. There are too many old textile factories in Shanghai. There are many workers, heavy debts, and if you want to go to the bank to borrow money, how can you introduce new equipment? Moreover, the special zone has preferential policies and light burdens. Compared with them, our textile factories do not have any advantage!"

Lin Johnson nodded and said, "There is now a shrinking monetary policy in China. If the company's condition is not good, the banks will definitely not agree to lending!"
