Chapter 3 Fire in the Chen family(1/2)

"Attention, attention, all the young and old men of the 923 Work Team have listened. They will have a meeting in the auditorium of the field department at 8:30..."

Before Gu Zhaocheng could go out, a broadcast came from the loudspeaker, and it was Gu Changshan's voice.

"Mom, there is a meeting at the farm today. Is the new director coming? My dad's position as director is already confirmed to be hopeless?"

Gu Zhaocheng asked Na Cunhua uncertainly.

If there is a chance, Gu Zhaocheng still wants to participate.

If Gu Changshan could become the director of Sandaogou Forest Farm, not only would the Gu family's life be much easier.

This step is also very important for Gu Changshan.

If you are promoted, you can work in an office. If you are not promoted, you will still have to go up the mountain to work on the front line.

Moreover, having a father who is the director of Sandaogou Forest Farm makes it easy for Gu Zhaocheng to do whatever he wants in this forest.

"How long has this happened? You still think that your father will be the boss? So many people will lose their jobs."

That Cunhua is just an ordinary woman with no political sensitivity.

Compared with Gu Changshan losing his future, he cares more about human relations and worries about the neighbors who have lived together for many years and that his family will lose their livelihood.

This winter, when the forest farm started logging on the mountain, it only gave twenty people quota to go up the mountain.

Those who don't go up the mountain will not have the most important performance wages and bonuses.

Relying only on the basic salary, in this era, the family does not have enough to eat.

"If Lao Gu fails to become the director of the farm, it's not that we are worried about whether others will have jobs. Maybe our family will lose their jobs."

Gu Zhaocheng muttered in his heart but did not say it out loud, which added to the pressure on Na Cunhua.

"It's because so many people are going to lose their jobs, so my dad should be the field commander. Otherwise, can someone else be like my dad and really help these people in the work team to keep their jobs?"

Gu Zhaocheng basically didn't communicate well with Gu Changshan. The two of them were in a polite state. If he wanted to influence Gu Changshan, he still had to go through the village belle first.

Whether it is for this forest farm or for the forest farm employees, it is best for Gu Changshan to be the farm director.

"Zhao Cheng, what you said today is clear. It is true. No one is more attentive to this forest farm than your dad, but your dad just made a mistake a while ago. This time the forest farm is adjusted, your dad has no chance.

Already."

Of course Namura was very happy to hear the compliments about her man.

But it is true that Gu Changshan just made a mistake. Originally, when he went to the mountains to cut trees this year, the authorities only gave him twenty places for 923.

Gu Changshan couldn't bear that some workers had no money, so he arranged an equal distribution.

He took everyone in 923 into the mountains and prepared to evenly distribute the wages of these twenty places.

This was not a big deal, but there was an accident after going up the mountain and a worker died.

This small mistake of taking everyone up the mountain turned into a big mistake.

"It doesn't matter. There is no chance this time. There will be a next time. If you are fine, please supervise my dad more and make him more motivated."

Gu Changshan has been rated as advanced in his workplace many times and has been rated as a provincial model worker. He still has some political capital.

He had always been just the captain of a work team, but Gu Changshan was too careless about his official career and was too casual about this matter.

Otherwise, no one who has achieved the honor of being a provincial model worker has not been promoted and received a salary increase.

The excellence that has been sealed and concluded must of course be reused.

"You kid, since when did you start worrying about these things?"

"I am already an adult and it's time to worry about some things at home."

"You've really grown up." Na Cunhua smiled and said, "Okay, I understand, and I will give your dad some advice."

"Then I'll go fishing."

The purpose of the reminder was achieved, Gu Zhaocheng took the equipment and continued fishing.

With the new director, Gu Changshan can no longer rush to become the director.

Mistakes made before will take some time to get over.

The new field director who was parachuted in had to catch some mistakes before he could drive people away.

After reaching the river, Gu Zhaocheng continued to dig holes, put out bait to make nests, and then lowered the net, waiting for the fish to fall into the trap.

Then another hole was dug, this hole was specially used for fishing. The fisherman still had to persist.

Because 923 is in a remote location.

The heads of each family went to the field department for meetings.

Even if there is no meeting, there are not many people who are willing to dig holes by the river to catch fish like Gu Zhaocheng in the cold weather.

These calories consumed may not even be replenished with a meal of fish.

So the fishing resources here are actually quite abundant.

It has never been heavily fished, so the fish are relatively stupid and eat bait easily.

Moreover, after holes are opened in the ice, it is easier for fish to gather due to oxygen.

In one morning, Gu Zhaocheng caught seven or eight big fish weighing more than two kilograms.

Two of them were left to go back and pretend to be on business. Gu Zhaocheng collected the other fish and sold them to the market or restaurant when he went to the city.

This fishing result seems good, but in the right place, it can be sold for twenty or thirty yuan.

But this is not actually the case. Consider that if the fish cannot be kept fresh, it will soon turn into frozen fish, and its value will be greatly reduced.

That's why no one wants to catch fish and sell it in the city.

A small construction worker in this era can earn thirty yuan a day.

Making money by fishing is not necessarily more than a day's wages for heavy physical labor.

If the technology is not good, it is definitely not possible to get as much as Gu Zhaocheng.

Moreover, you have to travel 20 to 30 kilometers to sell, which is a waste of time and travel expenses. This is something that many people are not good at doing.

It can be said that hoping to make money by fishing is neither stable nor cost-effective.

Only Gu Zhaocheng, who was not afraid of the cold and liked fishing, thought this could be done.

No matter what you want to do, it's impossible without some capital.

Without some money, Gu Zhaocheng would not even be able to leave this 923 family area.

He went home for a simple meal at noon, and in the afternoon, Gu Zhaocheng returned to the river again.

What Lao Gu's family had to eat today at noon was not very good, just a simple steamed cake with radish and cabbage.

I don't know if Gu Changshan didn't take care of it yet, but Chen Xingjie didn't come to Gu's house for dinner.

When there is only one stove at home, women are not supported to cook multiple dishes at home all day long.

When there are four or five people in Gu's family, people of all ages do housework every day.

Women should not only be busy cooking at home, but also cleaning and cleaning.

If there is fish at home, it is impossible to cook fish for every meal.

For an eighteen-year-old boy like Gu Zhaocheng, he was a little too plain and lacked charm.

So when he had nothing to do in the afternoon, Gu Zhaocheng made a simple barbecue grill by the river again.

I took the simple seasonings I found at home, onions, ginger, garlic, chili peppers, and salt, which were enough for grilled fish. I also paired them with steamed bun slices to make a meal for myself.

"Mom, what's wrong with my dad? He comes back from a meeting and is in a bad mood again?"

After having a snack, the weather was not beautiful and it started to snow.

Gu Zhaocheng did not enjoy the artistic conception of fishing alone in the cold snow, so he packed up his things and returned home.

Snow is not uncommon in the Northeast in winter. It snows four or five months out of twelve months a year.

Due to the low temperature, the snow will not melt. Someone from the yard on the road will clean it up, and the snow that is not in the way will remain piled there.

After seeing too much, I no longer appreciate the snow.

After returning home, I saw Gu Changshan, frowning again and sitting on the kang like a "thinker".

"The farm has arranged for workers to be furloughed without pay. A total of 80 people from our Sandaogou Forestry Farm will be laid off."

Na Cunhua also frowned and replied.

A few days ago, people were just not allowed to go up the mountain, and at least they had a basic salary guaranteed.

Arrangements for layoffs will begin now, and there will be no wages at all.

In other words, eighty people will lose their iron rice bowl.

Sandaogou Forest Farm is small in scale, with only two work teams in total, and the number of workers in 923 is relatively large.

Even if Gu Changshan's subordinates are laid off in proportion, fifty people will be laid off.

"Then I'll go to the store to buy a bottle of wine and let my dad drink some, okay?"
