Chapter 55 Another year
Liu Kunlun just said it nonsense, which should be used as a feeling rather than an invitation. The focus is on the three words "or else" rather than "you go home with me."
But Chunjiu heard that this was not the case. She quickly put away the empty bowl, washed it, sealed the stove, sealed the door with the door panel, and said to Liu Kunlun empty-handedly: "Okay, when will you leave?"
Liu Kunlun was stunned, but he could not go back on his word. He could only say you wait. I called my fourth sister and originally agreed to take her back with me. The phone number was called. The fourth sister said she would not go back on duty at night and would take a long-distance bus back by herself tomorrow.
"Then let's go now." Liu Kunlun was not a pretentious lover, so he took his helmet and put it on Chunlei. Chunlei shouted at Xiao Zhang, who was selling fruits opposite him: "Zhang'er, when you see Sister Junling, you tell her, and you said that Brother Kunlun and I are going home for the New Year."
"You should slow down on the road." Xiao Zhang replied helplessly. He originally said that Chunjiu would go home with him for the New Year, but Chunjiu refused to agree. Liu Kunlun said casually and she followed her happily. There was no way to reason about this. He was disappointed and frustrated and didn't even have the strength to chop the sugarcane. He sighed and prepared to close the stall.
This was the first time Chunjiu was riding on Liu Kunlun's motorcycle. She had short legs and had difficulty stepping on the back seat. She didn't dare to hug Liu Kunlun's waist, but she only dared to grab the seat. She was scolded and wanted to die, so she timidly grabbed Brother Kunlun's clothes.
Liu Kunlun was about to turn a corner and leave the city. Chunjiu lay in his ear and said, "I forgot to buy things when I went to the vegetable market." So the motorcycle turned and went to the nearby vegetable market to shop. Liu Kunlun was waiting outside. Chunjiu quickly bought things, which almost scared Liu Kunlun. There were two live chickens, two big carp, one pig's legs, two hanging sausages, a handful of vegetables, and a box of pineapple eggs.
"The boss was in a hurry to close the stall and sold it to me for five yuan." Chunjiu showed off the pineapple eggs, but he didn't notice that Liu Kunlun had already stretched his face. "Chunjiu, we are not a car, but a motorcycle, and we can't bring so many things."
"You can bring it, look at mine." Chunlei put down the things and went to the grocery store outside the vegetable market wall to buy two inferior red plastic buckets, a bundle of plastic ropes, and put the fish in buckets, and the chicken tied the foot with ropes. The other things were placed in an orderly manner, which convinced Liu Kunlun.
The motorcycle continued to set off, and the speed slowed down a lot. He took a big girl and a lot of New Year's goods. It felt like he was going to his parents' home. After Liu Kunlun left the city, he found that there were many motorcycle troops around him, mostly two or three driving a car, with snakeskin bags and paint buckets tied to the car, adults carried children, men carried women, everyone's faces were red with cold, vast and winding dragons. This was another army that went home for the New Year. They were all families working and doing small businesses in the city. The journey was not far, and it was not worth taking the train. It was better to drive back home by yourself.
"But I'm a street car." Liu Kunlun complained. His Kawasaki 400 fire chariot did not stand out in a group of Qianjiang, Jialing and Lifans, because the live chickens and fishes carried by Chunlei made him integrate with them.
After following the motorcycle army for a distance, Liu Kunlun drove into the fork road and he was the only car to the big garbage dump. He couldn't help but reminded him of this time last year, it was New Year's Eve. He drove Boss Su's Audi A8 and took Su Qing and the New Year's goods full of trunks home. In a blink of an eye, it was one year, and one day was the anniversary of Kang's death.
The big garbage dump was still the same, dirty, withered, and smelly. When her son came back for the New Year, the mother couldn't help but be happy, but Liu Jinshan was indifferent and didn't look at the girl she brought back. Chunlei was a wise man. She got off the car and helped her work, killing chickens and peeling fish, choosing vegetables to make fire. The mother saw it and was happy in her heart. She pulled her son aside and asked quietly: "Is this time settled? This time, my mother likes it."
Liu Kunlun said no, this is a friend, because my home is too far away and I can't go back, so I brought me to spend the New Year together.
The mother smiled and said, "Okay, OK, that's right."
When we were having dinner, there was still a family of four. There were a wide range of dishes on the table, with many more dishes than before. My mother asked for credit for Chunlei and said that Lao Liu was all made by Chunlei alone, and taste the skills of your daughter-in-law.
Liu Jinshan picked up the chopsticks, paused on the table, picked up the chicken, chewed it with a cold face for a while, Chunlei was pounding, and after waiting for a long time, Liu Jinshan nodded: "Well, it's not bad."
It is a great commendation to get Liu Jinshan's words of good deeds. My mother breathed a sigh of relief and knew that the old man would not lose his temper and beat people up today.
After drinking two glasses of wine, Liu Jinshan began to speak, saying that the eldest was unfilial and that he would not care about his parents' life or death when he got married. He would come to deliver a box of rotten apples during the Chinese New Year. The second and third brothers didn't even have any news. He was afraid that he would die outside. The fourth brother was not filial and would not go home during the holidays. He knew that he was on duty. Is the salary of three days a day of work so important? Is it so important! Xiaowu is okay this time, and he brought his wife back. When will it be done?
Liu Kunlun dared not explain that he was a heroic young hero outside, and he still lowered his eyebrows in front of his father's aftermath, thinking that he was fooled and pulled him down.
"Uncle, don't worry, we are all young, we are busy with our careers first. Brother Kunlun works well in the unit. The leader appreciates him the most. Now the unit is about to change its term. Brother Kunlun will definitely be able to become a regular and become a cadre." Chunjiu used her simple and simple language to coax Liu Jinshan a little smile. She observed her words and expressions, and then picked up a glass of wine and said, "Master, I'll give you a toast first. I tilted my neck to dry the glass of strong wine, and I coughed so hard that I choked.
"This child is filial." Liu Jinshan was happy.
Liu Kunlun wanted to stop Chunjiu from drinking, but she didn't expect that she would drink more and more vigorously. She drank three more cups of wine with Liu Jinshan. This was not a small wine cup in the hotel, but a glass cup used at home. Three cups were as full as six taels of wine. Chunjiu's face did not change. Fortunately, Liu Jinshan felt sorry for the wine and did not continue.
After dinner, Liu Jinshan turned on the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Chunji accompanied his mother to roll noodles and stuffing to make dumplings. The family of four was harmonious and happy. Liu Kunlun felt in a trance that his correct life should be opened like this. Like his father, marry an inconspicuous woman like Chunji, give birth to one or many children, and continue to settle down in the big garbage dump.
At night, Chunjiu slept on the bed of the fourth sister, and there was a curtain between Liu Kunlun. Liu Jinshan's snoring was like thunder, so no one could sleep. Although the stove was born in the room, it was still very cold. Chunjiu asked softly on the side of the curtain: "Brother Kunlun, don't you be angry with me."
"Don't be angry, isn't this good? My parents are very happy to celebrate the New Year together," Liu Kunlun replied.
"Oh." Chunjiu stopped talking. After a while, she asked again: "Brother Kunlun, I can't sleep. Are you asleep? What are you thinking?"
Liu Kunlun said: "I was thinking that at this time last year, Brother Kang and I killed two people not far away."
Chunjiu didn’t know everything about Liu Kunlun’s glorious history. She paused for a while before saying, “Brother Kunlun, how many people have you killed?”
I didn't sleep well that night. The past was like a knife that pierced Liu Kunlun's heart. He got up early in the morning to take Chunlei back to the city. The reason was very high-sounding. The unit wanted to hold a party. Before leaving, he took out 25,000 yuan to his mother, saying that this was my business trip subsidy, so he could use it to build a house for his family.
"The unit's salary is good, you have to try to travel more business." Liu Jinshan was even happier when he saw Qian. When his son and his prospective daughter-in-law walked away, he dragged his lame into the house.
Liu Kunlun first sent Chunlei back to the big market, then brought a bottle of wine and a box of cigarettes, and drove a motorcycle to the cemetery. He saw Wei Kang sitting alone at the same time. He thought it was Su Qing, but he was excited. He ran over but found that it was the fourth sister, who came to visit Brother Kang's grave.
The tombstone was wiped cleanly, and there were pastries in front of the tomb. When the fourth sister saw her younger brother coming, she said lightly that you are here too.
"Today is Brother Kang's death day, I'll put in an incense stick for him." Liu Kunlun took out the cigarette and opened it, lit three pieces and inserted them into the incense burner, opened the wine and sprinkled it in front of the tomb.
The siblings were speechless and sat quietly for a long time before leaving.
...
The Jinqiao Market’s group meeting was held on the second day of the Chinese New Year, and all employees in the workplace were to attend. This was actually a disguised staff meeting. This year’s group meeting was different from previous years. The company was filled with an uneasy atmosphere of storm and changing dynasties.
The general manager and the security chief are still in custody. The company has no top leader. Secretary Wang held up the scene and took a few confidants to organize a group meeting. The conference was held in the auditorium of the Material Bureau. There are large spaces and many seats. Some employees came with their families and children. Because according to the past habits, the union would organize programs, but the rostrum was deserted, with no colorful paper and flowers, and no banners to celebrate the New Year.
Secretary Wang personally presided over the meeting. He wore a black cashmere jacket with a white shirt and a scarlet tie inside, which brought some holiday feeling. The microphone was in hand, and the sound effect was not very good. The sizzling current sound was so great.
"Comrades, are you all here?" Secretary Wang stood on the stage and looked at it. He knew that they were all old acquaintances and subordinates, and these people were enough for meetings.
"First of all, I wish you a happy New Year!" Secretary Wang bowed, and the hair that was stuck on his head and supported the center fell on his forehead. He swept a strand of hair to the top of his head in a daze and continued to speak: "Something happened to the unit recently, ah, it was purely an unexpected situation, but if something happened, we have to face it, right? So, our Party Committee of the Big Market is ready to take this opportunity to announce the resolution of our Party Committee, that is, the new leadership team members."
Secretary Wang has a list of the results after he discussed with his confidants. He served as general manager and also served as secretary. The party and government took charge of it, and the current vice presidents were not moved, but the retired ones were about to retire, so there were a few more vacancies. If you use your own people to take over, the big market would be completely Wang.
Someone from the audience stood up: "Secretary Wang, we are an enterprise. It is not when it is the party committee's turn to appoint the leadership team. It must be the board of directors' resolution to appoint it."
The person who spoke was Xu Qingliang and Lu Gang's hardcore. This was a sincere trouble. Secretary Wang said angrily: "What do you mean? Can the board of directors be above the Party Committee?"
Xu Qingliang said: "It's right for the party to command guns, but can you represent all the party members of our unit alone? Besides, aren't people who are not party members not formal employees? They have to be excluded? Everyone says, is there any reason?"
There were cheers below.
Secretary Wang was very angry, but he was not easy to attack in front of all the employees, and he could not pick up his image if he destroyed it. He retorted: "Xu Qingliang, do you want to grab the power of the shift?"
Xu Qingliang said: "I don't want to seize power. I just want justice. What the hell is our big market in the hands of you leaders? The wages of employees have not increased for many years. What are the benefits for the New Year? One box of apples and one box of pears. I want to ask on behalf of everyone, where is the money gone!"
Secretary Wang's trembling hands could hardly hold the microphone anymore. He couldn't help but shout angrily: "You are confusing the masses and stirring the masses."
Xu Qingliang simply stood up, took out an electric speaker from behind, and shouted loudly: "Deng Shibin covered up his relatives, refused to pay rent, and ignored the fire protection regulations, which almost ruined us. The management was already terrible. I suggest holding a meeting of all employees, one vote, and selecting our own leaders!"
There was another burst of cheers. Most of the employees were watching the fun without much trouble. However, the middle-level officials who were loyal to Secretary Wang were anxious and came forward to pull Xu Qingliang up.
The scene was a bit chaotic. The scene was mixed with strange faces that the employees didn't know and pushed Xu Qingliang. He was wearing a black leather jacket and a full face. He looked like a gangster in the railway station area. This was Secretary Wang's backing. It was best to deal with honest employees.
