Rebirth 1994: Starting from laid-off workers

When dusk falls, the streets that have been quiet all day become noisy again.

As factories and units get off work everywhere, countless bicycles are like moving ant colonies, crawling all over the streets and alleys, and the darkness becomes the main color in this world.

When the lanterns first came on, the young couple sat in the car, as if they were swimming in a sea of ​​bicycles.

The noisy road and the quiet inside the car seem like two different worlds.

Ye Xiumei thought that she had once been a member of that bicycle army, and felt an inexplicable sense of security in her heart.

She knew that this feeling came from the man next to her, and her body leaned towards him involuntarily.

At this time, Zhang Jiaqiang also hugged her waist tightly.

She struggled briefly and then gave up, letting the big warm hand slowly rub and knead her waist.

The feeling almost made her moan, and soon she fell asleep leaning on his broad and strong shoulders.

No matter how slow the car was, it was time to reach home. The car stopped at the door of the dormitory, and Zhang Jiaqiang paid the driver.

The driver handed over a business card, pointed to the number on it and said, "If you want to use the car in the future, just call me. Add 123 and I will call you back immediately!"

Zhang Jiaqiang took a look and saw that the driver's name was Guo Yonggang, and there was a string of numbers starting with 127 printed on the back. This was a feature of the 90s, the pager number!

Zhang Jiaqiang felt that his belt was empty. He didn't even have a landline phone at home, let alone a pager or a mobile phone. He was simply a person without three things.

In the future, business will become busier and busier, and these communication tools are indispensable. It seems that I have to get one if I find time.

I can't afford a mobile phone at the moment, so I'll get one for paging first.

"Okay, I'll call you if anything happens!"

After collecting the driver's business card, he gently patted Ye Xiumei.

She didn't know what she was dreaming about, and there was a trace of crystal clear saliva hanging from the corner of her mouth. Her little face was red from sleep, as cute as a baby.

"My wife is home!"

The young couple walked into the dormitory door under the illumination of the street lamp.

The two once again received secret advice from some neighbors.

"Oh, these young people are really bad at getting by. They are better at picking up and delivering cars than the factory director!"

At this point, Ye Xiumei has become accustomed to it and has turned a deaf ear to all the cynicism and envy. Instead, she feels that Zhang Jiaqiang is capable.

As soon as the two of them went upstairs, they saw a middle-aged aunt standing at the door of their house, as if she was waiting for someone.

Before Zhang Jiaqiang could ask, the aunt said enthusiastically, "You are Zhang Jiaqiang and Ye Xiumei, right? I'm from the logistics department. Ye Xiumei's house has been approved. Hey, here's the key. Oh, this young couple, a talented man and a beautiful woman, will live in our factory's new house again." , that’s really the envy of even gods!”

There were originally two old dormitories in the factory. One was the dormitory where Zhang Jiaqiang and the others lived, and there was also a nearby bungalow.

Last year, the factory took advantage of the last welfare housing allocation to raise some funds to flatten those bungalows and build three new buildings.

But in these three buildings, there is no room for ordinary employees.

It's called attracting high-end talents, but in fact, all the people living there are middle- and high-level cadres from the factory.

Zhang Jiaqiang glanced at the house number on the key. It was one of those new buildings.

It seems that Director Yin has kept his promise and actually changed the house.

Zhang Jiaqiang immediately took the key and sent the aunt away without even asking her name with a few polite words.

Before leaving, the aunt told them to move as soon as possible and hand over the old house. There are still people waiting to live here!

Ye Xiumei looked at the bunch of keys with the house number, and was stunned for a long time before saying, "You have been laid off, and the factory only gave you a big house. What is this?"

It was so late and the couple hadn't eaten yet. Zhang Jiaqiang took out the key and opened the door, "I'm laid off, but you are still a factory employee. We live in this house in a legitimate manner!"

"Hey, Master, you've known this for a long time. This is the hush money given to you by the factory director, right?"

Ye Xiumei washed her hands, rolled up her sleeves and was about to cook.

Zhang Jiaqiang grabbed her and said, "What are you going to cook? I bought so many snacks that day that I can make do with just one meal. Let's go check out the new house later. We'll find a few people to help clean it up tomorrow and move as soon as possible. I'm the one who owns this little shabby house." Enough of living here!”

Ye Xiumei was naturally happy to be able to get a new house, but she deliberately said, "Humph, I like the new and hate the old!"

Zhang Jiaqiang hugged her and lifted her up high, "Good wife, I will never be tired of the old with you in my whole life!"

“浑蛋，放手，唔唔唔......”

The two of them sat there for a while, then found some snacks they bought from Dongfanghong Shopping Mall and made up a meal before going out.

Zhang Jiaqiang asked a few young men in the dormitory to help move some things that were not needed for the time being. He took his wife and a group of more than ten people and headed straight to the new dormitory building.

This scene was being seen by several guys squatting under the tree to enjoy the shade, including Gao Jun and Zhou Dahei.

Zhou Dahei said sourly, "I heard that the boy named Zhang was given a new house in the factory?"

Gao Jun gritted his teeth and said, "I am the deputy section chief of the security department. I don't even have a hair on my new house. What qualifications does this bastard laid-off employee have to live in a new house?"

A young man next to him interjected, "Brother Gao, we can't always be so sluggish. You have to toughen up. Otherwise, the person named Zhang will have the final say in this factory from now on!"

Gao Jun turned to look at Zhou Dahei and said with a fierce light in his eyes.

"Dahei, don't think that everything will be fine if you are released on medical parole now. Zhang might twist his mouth and send you in again at some point. I think it's better to get him in first!"

Thinking of everything Zhang Jiaqiang had done to him, Tuesday Hei's anger surged to the top of his head, and he stood up suddenly and wanted to explode.

Then he remembered that Zhang Jiaqiang had just saved his precious daughter, and he squatted down like a deflated ball.

"Hey, I'm such a bear and want to take revenge. Now there are people who are rich. I can greet dozens of people just by greeting them. Forget it, forget it!"

"Coward!" Gao Jun glared and said, "You kid was so frightened by a fool that you can't hold your head up anymore, right?"

Zhou Dahei was provoked and exploded again, "I will not be a human being until I take revenge!"

A smile appeared on Gao Jun's lips, he put his arm around Zhou Dahei's shoulders and walked to a deserted place, lowering his voice.

"Dahei, the new dormitory in our factory has been built, are you jealous?"

Zhou Dahei spat angrily, "Bah, it won't be my turn in the next life. What's the point of being greedy?"

Gao Jun said with a sly look in his eyes, "As long as you do as I say, you will have a two-bedroom apartment by then!"

Zhou Dahei's face was full of doubts, and he didn't believe it in his heart.

There are only three buildings in the new dormitory, and even the middle-level people can't get it. How can Gao Jun give it to them just by saying a word?He hasn’t gotten in yet!

Gao Jun knew that this guy didn't believe it, so he stepped forward and whispered a few words into his ear.

After Zhou Dahei heard this, he felt shocked, happy and worried at the same time. If this kind of thing was revealed, he would probably have to stay there for several years.

"You said it was Director Yin..."

"Shh, your mother, please keep your voice down!"

Gao Jun saw that his heart was moved, so he hit the rails while it was hot, "Think about your daughter, even if you move in in the future, she will have a family to return to if she has a house!"

Zhou Dahei has lost all his relatives, and his only daughter is his lifeblood. When he heard this, he stamped his feet hard.

"Okay, but in addition to the house, I also need 5000 yuan..."
