Chapter 3 Vinegar and cabbage help!

"Resign, this guy wants to resign, and he proposed it before building Line 4..."

Liu Pengxing handed over Zhang Dongsheng's resignation report.

I also mentioned the requirements that Zhang Dongsheng made when he was repairing Line 4. It was obvious that he really wanted to leave this company and no longer wanted to work!

It is not difficult to retain Zhang Dongsheng, but it is not easy to retain his heart and make him willing to stay at Times Color Tube Company and treat the company as his home.

Liu Pengxing, Wan Guoqing and Zhang Yi, who had clearly thought about this, fell into deep thought for a moment.

Zhang Dongsheng is a technician. The company provides dormitories. The dormitory is more than 30 square meters, including a bathroom, kitchen and balcony. Two technicians have one room.

Relatively speaking, the conditions were pretty good for this era, but for Zhang Dongsheng, they were too simple and awkward. He was not used to sleeping in the same room with another man.

So he was packing his bags and after resigning, he had to find a place to live alone.

Zhang Dongsheng was an orphan. He grew up in a welfare institution and went to college, and finally joined the Times Color Tube Company.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is an envied young college student who is stable and well-paid in a state-owned enterprise. But who knows that Times Color Tube Company has no advanced technology and is just a coolie in the international market?

.

Although a huge amount of labor and hard work has been expended, the profits obtained in the international market are very small, so small that they cannot even pay employees' wages!

The ship was about to sink and the building was about to collapse. Zhang Dongsheng didn't have the consciousness and good intentions to go all the way. He also wanted to have a good life of his own. At least he had financial freedom and could do whatever he wanted!

Someone knocked on the door, and the tall and thin Wang Xi came in.

"Dongsheng, I'm treating you to a birthday treat today. Let's go to my house for hot pot..."

Wang Xi didn't know that Zhang Dongsheng had resigned, so he pulled him and said that everyone should get together to have fun.

Looking at Wang Xi's enthusiastic face, I remembered that everyone in the company was treating him well these days, so I simply went to say goodbye today and talk about my resignation.

Zhang Dongsheng and he worked in the same workshop, but Zhang Dongsheng was a technician, and Wang Xi's father was an old worker, but he had retired, so he took over the shift.

The two are similar in age and have a good relationship.

"Okay, I'll just wash my face and go..."

Zhang Dongsheng went under the faucet and washed his face with cold water, and then washed his hands vigorously several times before he felt a little cleaner.

Zhang Dongsheng planned to go to the market to buy a few kilograms of barley wine. Wang Xi's family was not well off and he was about to resign. It was not like before when he always went there empty-handed.

Less than three miles away from Times Caiguang Company, there is a low-priced vegetable market. It is a bit dirty inside, but you can buy everything. Five pounds of barley wine costs only more than ten yuan.

In that era, the purchasing power of money was still particularly amazing.

Carrying the barley wine, Zhang Dongsheng was about to leave, but he saw a familiar figure in the corner of his eye. That was Wang Xi's mother. She was in her sixties and was usually a very clean person.

"king……"

Zhang Dongsheng was about to say hello when he saw Wang Xi's mother stooping down, reaching out to pick up the cabbage dumplings thrown away by the vegetable vendors, and then quickly stuffed the cabbage dumplings into a bag.

She was so engrossed that she didn't even notice that Zhang Dongsheng was greeting her.

In less than a minute, Wang Xi's mother had packed a bag of cabbage buns, lowered her head for fear of being recognized, and hurriedly left the market.

Zhang Dongsheng, who was left carrying barley wine, took a long time to react.

He remembered that Wang Xi's father was a retired worker. Although the current employees were occasionally paid a basic salary to maintain their livelihood, the retired workers' pensions had not been paid for more than a year.

Thinking of this, Zhang Dongsheng said nothing, took out the money in his pocket, strode to the meat case, and asked the butcher to cut four or five kilograms of pork. Then he went to Wang Xi's house with barley wine in one hand and pork in the other.

In a narrow alley, on the first floor of an old-fashioned Tongzi building, with only forty or fifty square meters of room, Wang Xi had already begun to make arrangements, and his face lit up when he saw Zhang Dongsheng lifting so much pork.

"It's so polite. It's just right. I'll ask a few more people to come together and let's have some fun..."

Carrying the large piece of meat, Wang Xi asked his mother to stew the radish.

I haven't been paid for more than a year, and my family hasn't seen any minced meat in several months. Today is the day to have a toothpaste.

The kitchen of Wang Xi's family is in the yard. They built a tiled house of four to five square meters. Next to it is the bathroom. They are all low tiled houses. The workers on the first floor built them with their own money.

This makes life more convenient.

Even so, in Zhang Dongsheng's opinion, the conditions are really terrible.

In the dim kitchen, a small window was opened, and Wang Xi's mother was carefully washing the cabbage, saying she was going to make vinegar-coated cabbage and shredded pork for them.

"Let's change the dish, mother, I've been eating cabbage gangzi for several months..."

Wang Xi stood aside and asked for the dishes to be changed.

"No, I just like this dish, let's have a plate!"

Zhang Dongsheng saw Wang Xiniang's dilemma and quickly intervened.

There were several employees with familiar faces over there. Everyone was carrying something in their hands, and they seemed to be carefully prepared. But what does it mean that someone just brought a few radishes?

"The radishes I brought from my hometown are very sweet. I will bring some to your house..."

The person who spoke was the man holding the carrot, but Zhang Dongsheng didn't recognize him. Wang Xi said it was him who sent Xiao Jiangbing to Workshop No. 3.

The dishes were quickly served on the table, including a vinegar cabbage with minced meat on top, a spicy and sour Chinese cabbage, a palm-sized crucian carp and a radish with boiled meat. The meat was a bit raw, so Zhang Dongsheng probably brought the meat himself.

"Come on, everyone, sit down. Don't mind if there's no food..."

Wang Xi was very enthusiastic, but none of the young men were polite. Jiang Bing picked up a piece of meat first and stuffed it into his mouth. Although it was a bit raw, he still ate it.

"Wang Xi, you said it would be great if we were transferred to workshop No. 4. We haven't had any work here for several months. Line 4 pays 20% of the monthly salary. Isn't that right?

Because Line 4 is a joint venture line, the products are all exported abroad to earn foreign exchange..."

At Times Color Tube Company, not every workshop has the same wages. Some workshops pay them on a proportional basis, which makes the lives of these employees extremely difficult.

"Don't think about it. Now the workers in the workshop are all trying to get into Workshop No. 4. In this situation, it's very good if you don't get fired. The economy is sluggish everywhere. You can endure it slowly. It's better than those who don't have a job outside.

hundred times……"

Wang Xi sighed, and when Zhang Dongsheng heard these words, he burst into laughter.

"Workshop No. 4 is not that good either. I have handed in my resignation report..."
