Chapter 134 Chapter 134 Two chapters in one

This year, China is experiencing epoch-making reforms and changes. Of course, people in the midst of it do not know what this year means for the future. They only glimpse some changes that cannot be ignored from newspapers and magazines and from the changes in the streets.

At this time, the most popular majors in universities are literature, history and philosophy. Looking back on the past ten years, people seem to only be able to find answers to their inner confusion and bewilderment from history and philosophy.

The Department of Economics is still a "marginal subject".

However, the discussion, or debate, within the Department of Economics about national economic policies has never stopped.

Even though they are only freshmen, students majoring in political economy have been paying close attention to relevant discussions on and off campus. The two classes have already formed seven or eight discussion groups, and everyone spontaneously uses their spare time to discuss the economic problems facing the country.

However, Shen Moli did not participate in this discussion group. She was too busy. The discussion group sometimes had to hold meetings at night, and she had to go home at night.

Besides, she already knew that the country would carry out reform and opening up in the future. Although there have been repetitions and debates in the middle, the overall route will not change.

It's like a group of people guessing a riddle. She already knows the answer to the riddle, so it's boring to guess along with them.

Instead of participating in the discussion, it's better to do something practical.

There was only one class that afternoon, and after class, Shen Moer hurried to the Capital No. 5 Garment Factory.

"We do have a batch of old sewing machines to deal with, but these are state-owned assets and cannot be sold directly to individuals. Otherwise, we should just deal with them directly to internal employees. Isn't this against the regulations?" The

logistics director of the Capital No. 5 Garment Factory was a short bald man. When he spoke, he always subconsciously touched his round and smooth egg-like head. He looked friendly when he smiled, but his words were very straightforward.

Shen Moer came here through a friend from the Capital No. 1 Textile Factory whom she met at the Canton Fair.

She used to be the director of a state-owned factory. When dealing with brother units, people would always show respect to her. Now she is just an ordinary college student, even if she is a student of Capital University. In the eyes of these old-timers, she is just a "student".

If someone hadn't acted as a bridge, she would never have met Director Qian.

Shen Moer smiled and said, "I am not buying it for myself. We are a community-run enterprise in Liuqiao Commune, Jiangbei County, Nan Province. It is a public-to-public business and fully complies with relevant regulations. Moreover, the Fifth Garment Factory has handed over the eliminated sewing machines to us, which can be regarded as helping to support the grassroots income generation. We will write a letter of thanks to your factory and you can mention it when you summarize the relevant work."

Shen Moer handed over the introduction letter and related materials.

She asked Zhang Zhengxiang to do this before leaving Jiangbei County.

The national policy has always been to encourage the development of community-run enterprises. At this time, the procedures for setting up community-run enterprises are not complicated. It sounds a bit absurd to set up a community-run enterprise when there is nothing, but Zhang Zhengxiang is inexplicably full of confidence in Shen Moer, and he still handles it for her despite the pressure. The

logistics director took the materials and took a look. It was indeed the materials of a community-run enterprise called Huacai Garment.

The people were introduced by the factory leaders, and the procedures were complete, so this face had to be given.

The number of sewing machines needed was not large. The logistics director thought about it and nodded with a smile: "If that's the case, then okay. You said you are really well-informed. You even buy things in the capital."

Shen Moer was right. It is very difficult for their logistics department to stand out. Dealing with obsolete sewing machines is a job that has nothing to say about itself, but if it is to help support the grassroots, then it can indeed be written about when writing the work summary.

Don't say that helping social enterprises in other provinces has nothing to do with the capital. This is too narrow-minded. In the eyes of people in the capital, things within the country cannot be said to have nothing to do with them.

"But how are you going to transport these sewing machines back?" asked the logistics director.

Although they can sell sewing machines, the mountains are high and the roads are long, so they definitely cannot cover the transportation, otherwise all the money from selling the old sewing machines will be included.

Southern Province is not close.

Shen Moer smiled and said, "Just ask the factory to help transport it to this address."

She took out a pen and quickly wrote down an address.

When the logistics director saw that the address was in the capital, he nodded on the spot. Anyway, the factory has trucks for transporting goods, so there is no problem with just transporting it within the capital.

After the two parties negotiated, Shen Moer went directly to the finance department to pay, and the logistics director pointed to someone and asked him to help take him to the warehouse to pick one out.

"This batch of obsolete sewing machines actually have no major problems, but only some minor ones. They can still be used after repairing and tinkering."

The man who led Shen Moer there was named Yu. Comrade Yu was also smiling and looked very easy to talk to. He took the initiative to chat with Shen Moer while walking.

"Don't look at our factory as the last among the garment factories in the capital, but the last has its own advantages. Recently, the higher-ups have allocated a sum of money for us to upgrade and transform equipment. As a result, many things have been eliminated. If it weren't for individuals not allowing them to buy, everyone would actually want to buy one, take it home to repair it, and apply a new coat of paint. It's almost the same as a new one. Even if you get married, it can be used as a decent gift. Three big pieces, wow, how face-saving."

Shen Moer: "..."

No wonder the logistics director emphasized that it cannot be sold to individuals.

Soon they arrived at the warehouse. Xiao Yu stood at the door of the warehouse and shouted, "Xiao Guo, Xiao Guo--"

After shouting for a long time, a man finally ran out. He had messy hair and wore a pair of black-framed glasses with lenses as thick as the bottoms of bottles. He looked disheveled and dazed.

Comrade Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh when he saw him like this and said, "Even if this warehouse is full of broken copper and rotten iron, you should at least be careful. No one responds after you've been shouting for a long time. If someone takes advantage of the opportunity to steal something, I wonder how you're going to explain to the factory."

Xiao Guo looked quite respectable. Hearing this, he smiled honestly and said, "I was distracted and didn't hear you."

Xiao Yu obviously didn't believe him, but didn't say much. He introduced Shen Moer and said, "Comrade Shen, then let Xiao Guo accompany you. Xiao Guo, Comrade Shen wants to buy ten old sewing machines. The money has been paid. Here is the approval slip. Take her to choose some."

Shen Moer thanked Comrade Xiao Yu and followed Comrade Xiao Guo into the warehouse.

This warehouse is quite large, with a lot of miscellaneous items piled up in it, probably all discarded items from the factory. It is very dark inside the warehouse, and even with the lights on, they can't illuminate places too far away.

Shen Moer noticed that there was a bed placed in the corner, and there was a small table and a small stool in front of the window. There were many books on the table, and one of the books was open with a pen pressed on it.

Xiao Guo scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I was just doing the questions and was so focused that I didn't hear the sound."

Shen Moer smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, are you going to take the exam?"

Xiao Guo seemed even more embarrassed: "I signed up for the college entrance examination before, and I estimated my scores and felt that I did well. I filled in a high preference, but I was not admitted. I thought about taking the exam again this year."

Shen Moer looked at the thick glasses on his face, and then looked at the dim light, and said: "You have to pay attention to your eyes. If you can't, apply to the factory for a higher wattage bulb. Just say that the comrades who came to pick out the old sewing machines reported that the light was too dim to see clearly.

Your factory has replaced a lot of sewing machines this time . Big factories will definitely not want sewing machines, and small factories and workshops will not buy too many at a time. There must be a lot of people coming in and out."

Xiao Guo smiled innocently and said, "I'll try to talk to the director later."

He took Shen Moer to the area where the sewing machines were placed, and took the initiative to say, "The things produced in the several workshops in the factory are different. The fabrics in workshop three are more delicate and soft, and the machines have the least wear. You can choose from the machines in workshop three. They are here." There

were indeed a lot of eliminated sewing machines, all piled up together. To be honest, even if Shen Moer was asked to choose, she actually didn't know where to start for a while. It was different with Xiao Guo's help to show the way. She walked directly to see the machines in workshop three he mentioned.

"How long have you been working in the garment factory? I feel like you are quite familiar with the situation in the garment factory?" Shen Moer chatted with Xiao Guo while looking at the sewing machine.

"Not long. I graduated from high school two years ago and took over my mother's job. My mother is a veteran employee of the garment factory. I grew up in the factory area since I was a child. I have learned a lot from her and am quite familiar with the situation in the factory."

"Can you operate a sewing machine?"

"Yes, it's not difficult to operate a sewing machine. The children who grew up in our family compound all know how to do it to some extent."

"Are there many children of factory employees who went to the countryside? Have they all come back?"

"Quite a lot. Nowadays, most families have more than one child, some have two or three, and some have five or six. It's impossible for all of them to have jobs to take over. My family doesn't have many children, only three. My brother got into the factory by himself, and didn't take up a place at home, so I have the opportunity to take over. My brother is very capable. He was promoted to workshop director a while ago. He is only in his early thirties, and now he is the youngest workshop director in the factory."

Xiao Guo doesn't seem to be a talkative person, but when talking about family matters, he is quite excited and talks nonstop.

Shen Moer looked while talking, and soon selected ten sewing machines.

"That's all. I want to wait a week before delivering the goods. The director said that your warehouse will contact the fleet to coordinate?"

Xiao Guo: "Yes, leave me your address and I will contact the fleet to see when they are free."

Xiao Guo ran to his desk and pulled out a notebook from under a pile of textbooks: "You tell me, I will write it in the register."

Shen Moer told the address and glanced at the words written in the notebook. They are said to be as good as their names, but Comrade Xiao Guo's name is not very similar to him. After

the matter was successfully completed, Shen Moer said goodbye to Xiao Guo and walked out of the warehouse. She ran into a man wearing glasses and a cadre uniform. The man looked at her, nodded and walked into the warehouse.

Shen Moer nodded politely in response. Just as she was about to leave, she heard a voice from the warehouse: "Why are you still reading, Guoqi? You should quickly find a partner, get married and start a small family..."

Shen Moer paused, wanting to listen more carefully, but the voice inside became softer.

An employee from the factory came over and saw her standing there. He curiously asked who she was. Shen Moer explained and turned to walk towards the gate.

She came here for classes and had been busy in the factory until now. It happened that the factory was getting off work.

Shen Moer followed the flow of people to walk out. She was still thinking about why she forgot to ask Xiao Guo's name before. Just as she was thinking, she looked up and saw a person getting off the bus across the street.

Shen Moer stopped.

After the people on the opposite side got off the bus, they crossed the road and walked towards this side. Shen Moer watched him walk against the flow of people into the Capital Garment Factory No. 5. Occasionally, when he met someone he knew, he would call him Deputy Director Jin.

He was the middle-aged man who was with Guo Qi when he met him in the department store that day.

Several weeks had passed in a flash. Although Shen Moer felt that Guo Qi was a little strange, she was usually very busy, and she didn't find any evidence, so she gradually forgot about Guo Qi.

Today, Shen Moer suddenly met this person again, and she had that feeling of déjà vu again. She looked around and suddenly grabbed a female worker who was looking back at the lively atmosphere and asked, "Comrade, who is that and why are you walking into our factory?"

The female worker stared at her, "No, who are you?"

Shen Moer was surprised, "Ah?"

Shen Moer said nothing, but the expression on her face was as if saying, "Why would someone ask who I am?" The female worker immediately became suspicious, thinking that there were so many people in the factory, and she did not know everyone. Who else could be walking out of the factory at this time? It must be an employee of our factory!

The female worker couldn't help but look at Shen Moli a few more times, wondering when such a beautiful employee came to the factory. She looked educated and probably worked in the administrative building. No wonder she looked unfamiliar to her.

Thinking of this, the female worker's psychological defenses collapsed, and she spontaneously regarded Shen Moli as "one of her own", whispering: "Don't you know him? He is the lover of our Deputy Director Niu. He is the deputy director of some department in Capital University. Every time Deputy Director Niu is on duty, he will rush over from thousands of miles away to have dinner with Deputy Director Niu in the cafeteria. They are an old married couple, so loving!"

Shen Moli showed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "So he is the lover of Deputy Director Niu, comrade, thank you for telling me, otherwise I would I won't know who she is when I see her again."

The female worker was more certain that she was a clerk in the administration building, and said with a wink: "Yes, for a leader's wife who often comes to the factory like Deputy Director Jin, you people in the administration building really have to know her."

Shen Moer smiled and said: "So thank you very much."

The female worker didn't ask much, after all, she just wanted to get to know her first, and if she met her again next time, she could talk to her and maybe they would have a good relationship: "No need to thank me, I'm leaving first!"

Watching the female worker gradually walk away, the smile on Shen Moer's face faded.

She suddenly remembered who the middle-aged man was. He was Jin Pengju, the deputy director of the Economics Department. She had seen him from a distance on the podium when the department held a meeting at the beginning of the school year. At that time ,

he was just one of the many department leaders on the podium and did not speak, so Shen Moer did not have a deep impression of him .

Deputy Factory Manager Niu.

Warehouse Xiao Guo.

College entrance exam aspirations.

Youngest workshop manager.

Finding a partner to marry.

Key words popped up one after another in Shen Moer's mind involuntarily. These words were like a net, linking together people and things that were originally unrelated.

She turned around and walked back to the gate of the Fifth Garment Factory.

The people in the security room stopped her: "Where are you from?"

It was probably because it was a shift change and the security room had been replaced. Shen Moer thought for a moment and said, "Comrade, I'm Xiao Guo, the warehouse manager, and Guo Qi's friend. I passed by your factory today and suddenly remembered that I have a set of test materials that are quite suitable for him. Unfortunately, I didn't bring them with me. Can I leave a note for him so that he can come to my house to get them when he has time?"

The people in the security room looked at her and said, "The nerd in the warehouse? The lenses of his glasses are almost thicker than the bottom of a beer bottle. Didn't he fail the exam? Why does he have to take the exam again?"

Shen Moer smiled and said, "There are more than five million people competing. It's normal for him to fail. Can't he just take the exam next year?"

The people in the security room took out a half-cut piece of paper from the drawer and a pencil as long as a finger: "Write it." !”

This person also liked to chatter, and he was still muttering: "I heard that his family has arranged a blind date for him. He is not young anymore, and it is more important for him to get married and start a family as soon as possible. Being a college student is good, but you have to be able to pass the exam. In fact, it doesn’t matter whether he passes the exam or not. He already has a formal job. If he finds a formal job, he can start a small family and queue up for a small house as soon as possible, and then he can live a good life. I heard that college takes four years, and if you get married in school, you will be old by the time you graduate. It will only delay things."

Shen Moer wrote down Guo Qi's name, and asked hesitantly: "Comrade, is the single side of Guo Qi's character Qi strangely written as Qi, or something else like Qi? I can't remember it at the moment."

The person in the security room was speechless: "Aren't you his friend? , can't even remember a name? Can't you just leave a note? Just write one at random, okay, okay, I don't know either, wait a minute, I'll get the directory out and take a look."

The security room has a directory of the entire factory. He took it out from the drawer and took a look, and said, "It's strange, tsk, their family is really particular about naming, unlike my family, Wang Dahu and Wang Erhu, which are just randomly named."

Shen Moer smiled: "It's powerful and majestic, isn't that good."

She quickly wrote a time and place and handed it to the comrade who was not sure whether to call it Dahu or Erhu: "Comrade Wang, please help pass it on. Just say that the information is very important and ask him to find time to come."

Wang Dahu took the note. People at that time were not particular. No one thought that they couldn't read what others wrote. Just Ming Zhengda took a look and complimented him, "Your handwriting is beautiful."

Xiao Guo took his enamel pot to the canteen to get his meal at the appointed time. When he got his meal, he met Deputy Director Niu and Jin Pengju who were walking towards the canteen. He called out politely, "Deputy Director Niu, Deputy Director Jin."

Deputy Director Niu's eyes flashed and he said with a smile, "Xiao Guo, you are going to take the meal back home to eat. Why don't you eat in the canteen? " "Ah?"

Xiao Guo scratched his head in embarrassment: "I'll read and eat when I get back, so I won't waste time."

Deputy Director Niu glanced at Jin Pengju, still smiling, and said: "Xiao Guo, you are very motivated to study, keep it up!"

Xiao Guo smiled happily: "Thank you, Deputy Director Niu."

He walked away quickly holding the enamel pot. Studying is about racing against time, and not a single moment of time can be wasted.

What Xiao Guo didn't know was that after he left, the smile on Deputy Director Niu's face faded, and Jin Pengju frowned deeply as he looked at his back.

Halfway through his walk, he was stopped by someone in the security room: "One of your classmates or friends left you a note saying that she has an important study material for you, but she just passed by today and forgot to bring the material, so she asked you to get it yourself. You are indeed a scholar, you even went to the bookstore to get something."

Xiao Guo took the note and took a look. The time was 10 o'clock in the morning on Sunday, and the location was the bookstore on Renmin Road. There was only a head-up sign on the note, but no signature.

He couldn't help asking, "Who is it?"

The security guard was surprised and said, "Don't you know who it is? I thought you had agreed on it in advance. It's a pretty female comrade."

Xiao Guo scratched his head and said, "It seems that there are no pretty female comrades among my good classmates."

The security guard said, "... Don't say this in front of your female classmates. I'm afraid they will slap you. Come on, you can do it yourself. They said it's very important information. You must take time to go there. You will know who it is when you go there."

Xiao Guo: "That's right."

He walked back with a puzzled look on his face. As for the pretty female comrade, he did meet one today, but she was not his classmate!

Who is it?

In a blink of an eye, it was Sunday. After Xiao Guo finished his breakfast, he read a book in the warehouse for a while. When it was almost time, he closed the door of the warehouse and went out.

Other warehouses have two people working in shifts, but his warehouse is full of old things, not too important, and not many people go in and out

of the warehouse, so he only has one person. He is also happy to be alone. His nephews and nieces are getting older and older, and it is getting more and more crowded, and they are noisy. It is better to live in the warehouse, which is quiet and comfortable.

It is a little cold, but the factory has a stove, which allows him to light the stove all day long, plus a hot water bottle, so it is not bad.

Xiao Guo now hopes that he can get into a good university in the college entrance examination this year, and live on campus in the future, so he doesn't have to go home and squeeze into a room with his nephew.

Xiao Guo took the bus to Renmin Road. He thought the classmate who had invited him over was pretty good. They met at a bookstore, so he could go shopping and buy some new tutoring books. He heard that a publisher had compiled some exercises and materials for the college entrance examination in February.

When he arrived at the bookstore, Xiao Guo looked at the clock hanging behind the cashier. There were still three minutes left. He stood by the first bookshelf at the door and waited for a while. This was the place the other party had agreed to meet him. Not long after

, a tall, thin young man with long bangs walked up to him, looked him up, and asked, "Are you Guo Qi?"

Xiao Guo looked at the stranger in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.

The young man hooked his finger and said, "Let's go outside and talk."

Xiao Guo was stunned for a moment, and when he turned around and left after he finished speaking, he hurriedly followed him and said, "Who are you? Wasn't it a pretty female classmate who left a note for me?"

The young man turned around and looked at him and said, "She's busy and doesn't have time to come."

Xiao Guo followed the man out the door. Although the coldest time had passed, it was still quite cold outside, especially when walking from indoors to outdoors. A gust of wind blew over, and it was chilling to the core.

Xiao Guo couldn't help but shiver and asked, "Can't we talk inside the bookstore? It's still quite cold outside."

The young man ignored him, looked around, and walked into a small alley next to him.

Xiao Guo walked into the alley looking around. This alley was the gap outside the walls of the houses on both sides. There were only a few closed doors in the whole alley, and there was no one in sight. Xiao Guo stood vigilantly two meters away from the other party.

The young man curled his lips and said, "I didn't realize you were so vigilant."

He didn't waste any time and went straight to the point, "She said she called you out because she was afraid that someone on the other side of the wall might have ears. She was just suspicious and unsure about this matter, so she let me tell you in person. Just remember what you heard. Don't worry about who she is. Don't think about finding her if something happens. She won't recognize her anyway."

This strange opening remark was really shocking. Xiao Guo was stunned. He couldn't help asking, "What's going on?"

The young man looked at him and said, "She asked me to tell you that there is a student named Guo Qi in the first class of political economy in the Economics Department of Capital University. She heard that Guo Qi is the nephew of Jin Pengju, the deputy director of the Economics Department. She doesn't know why Jin Pengju's surname is Jin and his nephew's surname is Guo.

She also heard that Jin Pengju's lover is the deputy director of the Fifth Garment Factory of the Capital University . The factory director and his wife have a very good relationship and have only one daughter. She heard that there is a man named Guo Qi in the Capital Garment Factory No. 5, and his name is exactly the same as Jin Pengju's nephew.

In addition, Guo Qi's brother in the Capital Garment Factory No. 5 actually has a relatively junior qualification among the deputy directors of the workshop, but he was promoted not long ago, surpassing other deputy directors with more qualifications. And the person in charge of those workshops seems to be Deputy Factory Director Niu.

She said that Guo Qi from the Capital Garment Factory No. 5 was still reviewing and preparing for the college entrance examination this year, but his family did not seem to support him and had been arranging blind dates for him, hoping that he would get married and start his own family as soon as possible. "

With every word the young man said, Guo Qi's face turned paler. When he talked about Guo Qi's brother being promoted over other deputy directors with more experience, he began to tremble violently.

After the young man finished speaking, he saw that he was still standing there stupidly, shaking like a leaf in the wind, his face as pale as death. He couldn't help but reveal a trace of sympathy on his face. He reached out and patted Guo on the shoulder and walked out of the alley.

He stood at the entrance of the alley and looked back. Xiao Guo was squatting on the ground, hugging him tightly, his face buried in his knees, his body trembling, and his shoulders shaking.

In the cold wind of early spring, there seemed to be a suppressed sob.

The young man sighed silently.

He had to do such a bad thing, and he even called it "It would be so embarrassing if the old men burst into tears in front of a female comrade like me."

Tsk.

A female tyrant is a female tyrant.

Shen Moer didn't know that someone was slandering her in her heart with the old things from many years ago. On the one hand, she didn't want to face Xiao Guo directly, but she was really busy.

After the Chinese New Year, she brought some New Year's goods to pay New Year's greetings to Sister Ai, and asked her aunt to help her rent another yard. This time, she rented it in the name of a social factory. It was a large compound that had just been reclaimed. The owner stayed in his hometown and did not come back, so he asked the neighborhood committee to help rent it. Coincidentally, before the neighborhood committee started to make arrangements, Shen Moer came to the door.

Originally, it was not easy to rent a house, and it must be closely followed by residents. However, Shen Moer promised to give the neighborhood committee four recruitment quotas. Once the neighborhood committee calculated it, the rental problem was easy to solve. If it was really not possible, they could just make the public housing smaller. The employment problem was the most difficult, especially with more and more educated youth returning to the city, and every job position was particularly precious.

So she agreed.

After renting the yard, Shen Moer also took care of it, thinking that she had to get equipment and people first. As a result, she happened to hear that the Capital No. 5 Garment Factory had a batch of obsolete sewing machines, so she went to get ten of them. Now

that the sewing machines were available, the neighborhood committee also arranged four workers in a hurry, so she had to quickly repair the machines and tidy up the place to prepare for work.

So this weekend, Shen Moer organized workers to clean and repair the "factory".

After a day of hard work on the weekend, Shen Moer still had some back pain when she returned to school on Monday. During the break, she couldn't help but pound her back.

Yuan Lan winked and said, "Are you tired last night? Wow, classmate Fu is amazing!"

Shen Moer: "..." She

tried to explain, "I'm tired from work on the weekend. Isn't it said that Sunday is the day for fighting? There are too many things to do."

Yuan Lan had a look on her face that said, "I'm kidding if I believe you," but she said, "Okay, okay, you said you're tired from work, so you're tired from work. You've been married for many years, aren't you embarrassed?"

Shen Moer: "..."

Okay, whatever, classmate Fu is amazing!

The last class in the morning was taught by an old professor. Halfway through the class, someone from the department office suddenly came and asked Guo Qi to go to the dean's office. The old professor frowned, but still waved his hand and asked Guo Qi to go out with him.

Yuan Lan turned around and chatted with Shen Moer: "No, he was in class, why was he suddenly called away and asked to go to the dean's office? Did something happen?"

Jin Gui couldn't help but interrupt: "Could it be that the dean heard about his outrageous remarks in the discussion group?"

It was really outrageous. Not to mention that he completely ignored the basic theoretical knowledge of economics that they had already started to learn, he was really like someone who had never attended middle school, talking nonsense and without any logic.

Dexu has been removed from the position of class monitor, otherwise the whole class would have lost face.

Shen Moer glanced out the window and said casually: "Maybe."
