The scale of these two factories was too large, and the scene of thousands of soldiers standing upright was too shocking. Relying on Qin Huai's face, Old Man Qin stood shoulder to shoulder with the leading cadres on the stage. Seeing his old friends who used to have more face than him looking at him with envy, this belated glory made him feel that it was worth it even if he died now.
Today can be said to be the most glorious moment in Old Man Qin’s life.
So after the groundbreaking ceremony, Qin Huai wanted to go back. He hesitated and said, "Qin Huai, I haven't been back for a long time. Why don't I stay in the village for one night..."
He wanted to stay in the village and enjoy the glory, but he was embarrassed to say this to Qin Huai, a junior.
Qin Huai certainly understood what he was thinking and said with a smile, "Okay, Grandpa, you can stay in the village today and chat with your old friends. Don't go into the city by yourself tomorrow. I'll pick you up in the afternoon."
The old man boasted, "Look, this child is filial. People from Qinjiazhuang used to walk to the city, but now they can't walk anymore. I'm not a spoiled person. When I was in the city, they didn't let me do anything, and now they don't want me to walk..."
The elders in the village all said, "Old Qin, just laugh secretly. If I had a grandson as filial as Qin Huai, I would wake up laughing in my dreams. He has both ability and conscience, and he still thinks about his fellow villagers at the critical moment. I think this child will have a great future."
Someone immediately said, "That kid is so promising! He opened a car repair shop in the city. He's only in his teens and he's already living on his own, supporting a family of four. He's nothing like his heartless father who left his elderly parents alone after moving to the city."
When talking about Qin Dashu, some people mentioned Qin Dagen. Old Man Qin suddenly felt a little lost. No matter how good Qin Huai was, he was still adopted and a grandson. Now his biological parents had also come. Although the old man had confidence in Qin Huai, he suddenly lost it this time.
In fact, it is normal to have people like the Qin Dashu brothers in rural areas, while people like Qin Huai are rare.
Qin Huai said, "It's difficult for them too. We don't blame him."
Old Man Qin felt better now, and loudly told Qin Huai not to do everything himself when he returned home, and asked why he hired Qin Zhonglin and his wife.
Qin Huai said, "I see, Master. I'll go back first. If you don't have a place to stay tonight, you'd better go back to the city early. I have already made an appointment with the captain, and he will send a carriage to take you."
"Go ahead. I'm old, don't worry about me."
Old man Qin used to have no one listening to him in the village, but today his voice is louder than ever.
When you are young, others will treat you based on your parents' social status. When you grow up, others will treat your parents based on your social status. This situation is more realistic and cruel in rural areas.
Old man Qin's two sons were all unsuccessful. It was not until today, thanks to his grandson, that he was able to hold his head high in the village and finally find some meaning in his life.
He didn't feel sorry when he handed a cigarette to his old friend.
In fact, he also smoked an old pipe in the city. Before coming back, he asked Qin Huai to buy two packs of filter cigarettes, just to tell everyone that he was living a good life.
With the current income level in Qinjiazhuang, even the young and strong can't afford to smoke such cadre cigarettes, let alone the old people like them. The old people said one after another: "Old Qin, you are really excited. There will be a village meeting tonight, and you will definitely sit in the front seat."
The seats in the front row are usually reserved, and only a few people are qualified to sit there. Now he is actually qualified to sit there, and the old man is very happy.
Seeing this situation, Qin Huai shook his head and smiled before getting into the car. It was difficult to survive in the countryside. Old people without any ability would be bullied to death, and many of them would die in a cowardly way. He could understand the old man Qin's mentality.
Although the factory's affairs were caused by him, he could not get involved at all now. Su Weijun hinted several times that as long as he was willing to be the factory director, he would be allowed to do so. However, Qin Huaizhi was not interested in this. He wished to completely sever ties with the Liu family, so of course he would not agree.
After returning to the county town, Qin Huai could not stay in the auto repair shop. Many people came to him. Some felt that they were not bad and could at least become a section chief or accountant. Others felt that they could become a factory director.
He used to think it was easier to get things done if he knew a lot of people, but now he regrets knowing so many people. They all felt that they had an unambiguous relationship with him and were straightforward in making requests.
First of all, he had no say in the affairs of these two companies, and secondly, he was unwilling to stand up for others. But if he spoke directly, he would offend people, so he simply stayed at home and did not go out.
Liu Chengzong finally arrived.
There was no big scene. Qin Huai was selling things in the store early in the morning. A thin middle-aged man walked into the store.
When Qin Huai looked up to greet him, he was stunned.
The two recognized each other at a glance as if looking in a mirror.
"Qin Huai?"
He called out tentatively.
Qin Huai was stunned for a moment and said, "I am. What would you like to order?"
A look of disappointment flashed across the middle-aged man's face as he said, "I am Liu Chengzong."
He has a very strong personality and said it directly without any hesitation.
Qin Huai said: "Oh..."
Liu Chengzong did not feel neglected. He walked around the store and smiled at Qin Zhonglin and his wife. Qin Zhonglin was intimidated by his aura and muttered something.
Liu Chengzong then turned to Qin Huai and said, "You've done a good job. At this age, you can support a family of four. Many adults can't do it as well as you."
Qin Huai said, "You're too kind."
Qin Zhonglin looked at Liu Chengzong. He was obviously a thin middle-aged man with a harmless appearance, but he didn't even have the courage to look at him.
Liu Chengzong said again: "Comrades, I want to talk to Qin Huai alone. Can you please leave for a moment?"
Although the tone was negotiating, it could not be refused.
Qin Zhonglin said in a panic: "Oh, okay."
Liu Chengzong sat where Old Qin sat every day, looking at the soap and cigarettes on the counter and said, "I heard it's not easy for you."
Qin Huai only felt his body stretched straight.
"I'm sorry for making you feel wronged..."
Hearing this, Qin Huai suddenly laughed. He was not the real Qin Huai and would not be affected by Liu Chengzong's emotions: "No, I'm fine."
"Do you want to know what your mother is like?"
Qin Huai's body couldn't help but tremble. This was an instinctive obsession of the flesh, which was beyond his control.
His reaction made Liu Chengzong look distressed and said, "I will tell you slowly, don't be impatient."
