Chapter 20: Deliberately Forgotten Memories (Keep Collecting!)
When Hao Jun returned home, the sky was gradually darkening, and there was even a hint of chill. The thin sweater he was wearing couldn't stop the wind and rain from penetrating in, making him shiver, shiver, and shiver.
Grasping the prophet's preconception, he hesitated, he excited, he longed, he was even a little greedy, indeed, in the case of everything that was unknown, but he knew everything, he should indeed be greedy.
Chaotic thoughts, dripping raindrops, splashing wet soil, flying youth......
Pushing the door in, accompanied by the dim lights of this era, he saw the scenes that had appeared many times in the past three years, his mother's face, he couldn't see obvious wrinkles, his mother's, he couldn't see a single white silk, his mother's hand, he couldn't see a single age spot, just like his father, his mother was also young, and once lived in his dreams, but now they were walking by his side, within reach, it turned out that this was the moment of real happiness.
"Xiaojun, what are you doing? Where did you go, why did you get all wet, go dry it, change your clothes and come down to eat, my mother made your favorite green pepper beef tenderloin!" Mother Yu Fang's concern interrupted Hao Jun's contemplation.
Hao Yuefei put down the book in his hand, this posture, even if he has maintained it for nearly three years, still makes people feel a little out of place, but Hao Jun has strengthened his determination at this moment, not only for himself, but also for the dream of this father who only retains the image of an old farmer in his memory.
Hao Yuefei looked at Hao Jun, who was stunned, and then shouted softly: "What are you doing in a daze, you are so old, and you are so out of tune, look at what you are doing! Go and change your clothes!"
Hao Jun jumped to his mother who was in charge, picked up a green pepper, and flew upstairs to change his clothes without waiting for his mother's palm to fall.
But when I went downstairs, the atmosphere at the dining table was a little weird, my father buried his head and didn't speak, just stirred the rice grains and didn't pick up the vegetables, while my mother Yu Fang was glaring angrily, but her face was gloomy.
Hao Jun wondered in his heart, which one was singing, but he walked to the dining table silently, followed the example of his father Hao Yuefei as a grievance, and played with the dry rice in the bowl.
All of a sudden, the dinner table, which was supposed to have a harmonious atmosphere with Hao Jun's rare return home, became dull and even weird.
In the end, Yu Fang smiled bitterly, looking at her husband's forbidden cicada and her son's embarrassed appearance, although she was showing her face, the gloomy clouds between the corners of her eyebrows were still deeply locked.
In Fengtang District, due to the prosperity of garment factories, many unemployed women in rural areas mostly work in garment factories, and because of the good efficiency of garment factories, the wages of female garment factory workers in Fengtang District are often much higher than those of men in Fengtang District, which has caused a common phenomenon in Fengtang District, that is, women in Fengtang District have a very high status in the family, and some even become the heads of the family, holding great financial power and political power, including the hot right to educate children.
This phenomenon is particularly prominent in Hao Jun's family, of course, Yu Fang is not a fascist dictatorship, he still saves face for Hao's father, and he still leaves Hao's father a voting power in major matters, and Hao Jun, as a son, actually had the qualifications to vote like this very early, but his intentions were mostly influenced by his mother Yu Fang when he was young.
At this moment, what caused such a strange thing on the table was the problem about the mother Yu Fang's garment factory, and the father Hao Yuefei's opinion was completely opposite to the opinion of the mother Yu Fang, which touched the anger of the mother Yu Fang, her mood was already terrible because of this incident, and it was rare to get a little better because of the return of her son, and when she encountered her husband's official argument of looking at the problem under the so-called general situation to hit her, a female worker who only graduated from middle school, her eyes naturally widened.
"Mom, is it the problem of your factory going bankrupt, right?" Hao Jun gave Hao Yuefei a look and motioned for everything to be handed over to him, so Hao's father relieved himself to clip a beef tenderloin and "chew it slowly."
"It's not bankrupt, the director of the pottery factory said that he was going to sell part of the equity of the factory, and what he meant was that it was best for the female workers of our factory to buy it together! Son, have you learned this equity thing, my mother doesn't understand, I always feel uneasy!" Hao Jun couldn't help but sigh that his junior high school education had laid a very solid foundation for his right to speak at home.
He remembered that at the end of 97, some Asian countries began to break out of the financial crisis, and later turmoil in Hong Kong, affecting the mainland, although some foreign capital predators did not stop Hong Kong from succeeding, but still caused the two regions to be fluctuated.
Although compared to China, even after the full-scale financial crisis broke out in Asia, the renminbi was not unaffected by considerable impact.
But for the garment industry, which relies entirely on imports and exports, it is almost completely mired in a quagmire, and as orders become fewer and fewer, some smaller garment factories are immediately on the verge of closure, and Hao Jun's mother, Yu Fang's factory, belongs to one of them.
Garment industry as an important pillar industry in Lotus City, the municipal government and the Fengtang District Government of course can not sit idly by, have taken many effective and positive measures, the Municipal Bureau of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation and even organized the management of the garment factory to go to the field or go abroad to find customers, although it has helped many enterprises to solve the dilemma, but still can not help some small workshops and small factories with broken capital chains, so in 98 years, Fengtang District is also considered to be economically sluggish for a while, after all, the pillar industry has been greatly impacted.
Mother Yu Fang's factory is a private sole proprietorship, the scale is not large, but the treatment is one of the best in Fengtang District. The boss surnamed Tao, the name photo, very early is a celebrity in Fengtang District, notoriously shrewd and capable, in the early years when the commune was still there, earn work, it belongs to him to earn the most, and then the commune was canceled, he worked in the old brick factory, and in Fengtang District at that time only one cement factory did a technician, until the end, accumulated a certain amount of savings, he devoted himself to the Fengtang District at that time in the emerging garment industry, from a small workshop of five people, quickly expanded to a small garment factory with 67 employees, capital accumulation increased several times, I wanted to take advantage of the policy and the domestic good exhibition momentum, go further, expand the scale, become a first-class garment factory in Fengtang DistrictFortunately, he had an idea and thought of the move to sell equity, which made him see some hope again, but for the female garment factory workers who had just transformed from farmers at that time, stability was the most important thing, and how to make them accept their hard-earned money into equity transfer letters, which became the biggest problem and challenge for Tao Zhao.
He couldn't help but have a headache......
Tao Zhao is a righteous man and is respected by many employees of the factory.
Hao Jun clearly remembers that if he was not reborn, he might have entered the experimental class of City No. 1 Middle School like history, but in the face of huge tuition and sponsorship fees, Hao Jun's family was entangled.
Hao's father was suddenly imprisoned, and he didn't even meet his mother, although Hao's mother was strong, but she had no intention of working, and the family immediately fell into misery and hardship.
For Hao Jun's future, his mother Yu Fang raised money everywhere, ran into walls everywhere, ran nowhere to go, and secretly cried sadly on a lonely night, which has always been a memory that Hao Jun deliberately forgets in his heart.
In the end, it was this Tao Zhao who took out the money and lent it to Hao's mother, who had almost only a few faces, which gave Hao Jun the opportunity to enter the experimental class of the city's No. 1 Middle School, and all this was inadvertently mentioned by his mother when Hao Jun and his mother talked about their childhood, and Hao Jun knew that the money was lent to his mother by Tao Zhao.
