After leaving Lao Mo with Qian Jiajia, Yang Jun went directly back to the factory.
As soon as he arrived at the factory, he immediately called Liu Feng, deputy director of logistics, to the office and transferred the account books for the past two months.
It didn't matter to him.
The expenses on the account books are 20% higher than before, and the prices of various commodities have risen sharply.
Bangzi noodles, which originally cost three cents per catty, have risen to five cents, Chinese cabbage, which costs four cents per catty, has risen to six cents, and non-staple foods such as oil and salt have also increased a lot.
Fortunately, there is enough food left in the factory, otherwise it would have been a huge expense.
Expenses such as meat were not recorded in the account books because even if they wanted to improve their food, meat was not available on the market.
Suddenly thinking of the two wild boars sold to the cafeteria for 78 cents a pound two days ago, Yang Jun suddenly felt that he was at a loss.
"Director Yang, we can't go on like this. We must respond to the call from above and be prepared to cut back on food and clothing in advance." Liu Feng said with a grimace when he saw Yang Jun frowning deeply.
"What are you going to do?" Yang Jun frowned.
Only then did he realize the seriousness of the problem.
There are tens of thousands of employees in the steel rolling mill, and their daily food and drink costs an astronomical amount of money. If they are not properly controlled, it is likely to bring down the entire steel rolling mill.
Although the steel rolling mill is a unit supported by the above, if the factory suffers long-term losses, it is very likely that the steel rolling mill will be dissolved on the spot. At that time, tens of thousands of employees will be unemployed, and their families will not have food to eat.
"I've been thinking about this for many days, but I haven't talked to you yet. I thought the hard days would be over, but I didn't expect..."
"We can only increase revenue and reduce expenditure. To increase revenue, we must win military industry orders so that we can increase revenue. As for reducing expenditure, I plan to recalculate the plans of each department to reduce unnecessary expenses and save as much as possible."
"I agree with your approach. If there is no problem, we will have a meeting tomorrow to settle the matter." Yang Jun said thoughtfully.
"Okay, I'll go down and inform you, and we'll settle the matter tomorrow morning," Liu Feng said.
"Old Liu, before the new deputy director is confirmed, you should pay more attention to the logistics. This period will be hard for you."
"I have no problem. I can still bear it now. You are the one who is working the hardest. After all, production is not your strong point."
Yang Jun smiled bitterly, patted Liu Feng on the shoulder and said, "Let's all do our best."
After seeing Liu Feng off, Yang Jun looked at the time and saw that it was already time to get off work.
Pick up Yin Qiushui and get off work.
He planned to go back to his hometown. Tomorrow was the day to hold a banquet to celebrate Yang Liu's enlistment in the army. He had to go back and discuss the specific details with Shazhu and the others.
He planned to simply host two tables, and he would not invite any of his colleagues or old comrades in the factory. He would just invite people in the yard to gather and have fun.
On the way back to the courtyard, he met the second uncle Liu Haizhong.
If Liu Haizhong could walk in front of him, he must have escaped early.
"Junzi, there is a meeting tonight, you must attend."
"Second uncle, why is there another meeting?"
Yang Jun stuck his head out and motioned for him to get in the car.
The second uncle looked at Yi Qiushui in the car, shook his head and refused.
Although he is addicted to officialdom, and sometimes his brain is not bright enough, he is an old man and always feels that it is not good to sit in the same car with his nephew-in-law.
"It's not that I want to hold a meeting. In the afternoon, Lao Yan came to the factory to look for me and said that Director Wang was going to announce the results of the treatment of Jia and Zhang in our compound tonight."
"Oh, okay, I understand."
Yang Jun nodded yes.
Then he stepped on the accelerator and the car drove away quickly.
He first returned to the backyard and said hello to Wang Yuying, then pulled Yang Liu aside and asked,
"You will be enlisting in the army the day after tomorrow, are you ready?"
"Everything is ready." Yang Liu looked excited and pointed at the luggage that had already been packed.
When Yang Jun looked back, his head was suddenly covered with black lines.
Yangliu prepared five or six bags, big and small, and each bag was filled to the brim. It looked more like moving house than going out alone.
"The army has everything. Don't bring those washbasins, dental bowls, water cups, and towels. They will be distributed when you arrive."
Yang Jun stepped forward to open the luggage bag and help her see what things she needed to bring and what things she didn't need to bring.
"After you join the army, you rarely wear casual clothes. You only need to bring one suit. Look at you, you only carry three bags."
Yang Jun said while helping her take out her clothes.
When he found a small yellow satchel, Yang Liu refused to let him touch it.
When Yang Jun saw this, he immediately understood.
It must be a girl's personal belongings, even his brother is not qualified to see it.
After a while of sorting, the brother and sister finally sorted out only the contents of two luggage bags.
Yang Jun patted the two luggage bags and said: "You can fully devote yourself to the battle if you pack lightly. Besides, the place where you serve as a soldier is not far from home, and you can often go home and check it out. If you are missing something, give it to me."
Make a call and I’ll send it to you right away.”
"Brother, can I go home often?" Yang Liu was so excited that sweat broke out on the tip of his nose.
"Well...you have to wait until three months of military training is over before you can take leave to go home and see." Yang Jun explained.
"That's okay. Anyway, as long as I survive three months of military training, I can go home and see my brother, my mother, and my sister."
Yang Liu thought that as long as he survived three months of military training, he could take leave and go home, and he immediately felt relieved.
Yang Jun saw that she was immersed in the excitement of being a soldier and seemed not to pay attention to the three months of military training.
Anyone who has served in the military knows that these three months are simply a life worse than death. It requires a lot of perseverance to persevere. Just standing in line and walking in step every day is enough for them.
Not to mention Yang Liu, a girl who couldn't stand it, even Yang Jun, a veteran who had returned to training again, had a hard time persevering.
However, seeing the yearning look on Yang Liu's face, he couldn't bear to spoil her interest, so he simply didn't mention it.
When Yang Jun was packing his luggage, he put 200 yuan and some tickets in Yang Liu's bag when Yang Liu wasn't paying attention.
Yangliu is a grown-up girl, and there are many things she needs money for. Not to mention joining the army as a soldier means she has officially entered society. She has all kinds of entertainment and favors, so she doesn’t feel panic when she has money in hand.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He didn’t give much. After all, they were in the army. Food, drink, and food were all covered, so there weren’t many places to use the money. What’s more, they also had allowances and subsidies.
Later, Yi Qiushui came over and asked them to eat.
Before going out, he saw Yi Qiushui secretly stuffing something into Yangliu's pocket.
When Yang Jun saw this, he was very relieved.
Yi Qiushui treats her family well, especially when it comes to food and drink. She never cares about it. Every time she goes back to her old house, she always brings back big and small bags.
Now, Yang Liu is about to join the army. As the eldest sister-in-law, she has fulfilled her due responsibilities.
After Yang Mei and Liu Zhi got married, they did not eat separately. They still set up a stove in the old house to eat, and just paid some food expenses every month.
"Brother, it's time to eat."
Liu Zhi handed Yang Jun a pair of chopsticks.
He looked at Yang Jun with eyes filled with anxiety, and his mouth opened and closed slightly several times, as if he wanted to say something.
When Yang Mei saw this, she glared at him fiercely.
After Yang Jun told Yang Mei, Yang Mei told Liu Zhi after she returned that Yang Jun had no control over this matter and could not control it, and told him not to bother asking about his sister.
Yang Mei didn't care about Liu Lan's affairs at all, and she even felt disgust that she couldn't express from her heart. After all, if such a thing happened to someone's sister-in-law, her face would not look good.
Besides, this kind of thing is not a glorious thing. If a married woman acts as a lover, it will be embarrassing to say it.
Regarding Liu Lan's matter, Yang Mei was on Yang Jun's side, and she did not want Yang Jun to interfere with their family's affairs.
Moreover, there is no airtight wall in this world, and now Wang Yuying also knows this.
She has never left home these days for fear of being criticized behind her back.
After all, Liu Lan and the Yang family are also related.
"Liu Zhi, don't blame me for not helping you with this. Your sister's affairs are directly handled by the higher-ups. I can't get involved, and I can't get involved. I hope you can understand."
Yang Jun saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so he simply opened up.
After all, everyone in the family knows it, and there is nothing to hide.
Wang Yuying lowered her head while eating and said nothing, but the expression on her face was much more relaxed.
She was unwilling to let Yang Jun get involved in this matter. She was afraid that Yang Jun would be implicated and his future would be affected.
Their family's life had finally gotten better, but she was unwilling to ruin her son's future because of an outsider.
"Brother, Meizi has already told me, but I just want to ask if my sister will..."
As Liu Zhi spoke, his eyes were covered with tears and his voice became choked.
Yang Jun shook his head and said: "I don't know, but I advise you, you'd better not do anything, so as not to backfire. Just wait for the news."
Yang Jun was not involved in this case, so naturally he cannot draw conclusions easily.
Liu Lan's matter can be big or small. If the authorities are strict with him, Liu Lan will probably be treated as Li Huaide's accomplice and severely punished. If he only wants to deal with Dong Qichang, after finding out the truth, he will just be treated as Li Huaide's mistress.
Things like mistresses and mistresses are nothing more than indiscriminate relations between men and women. They can be cured by education or a few years of forced labor.
Therefore, Yang Jun didn't know how the superiors would handle this matter.
And he can't inquire yet.
"I listen to you, brother."
Liu Zhi responded and lowered his head to eat. Tears fell from his eyes and landed in his rice bowl. He didn't wipe away his tears. He drank the bowl of porridge with his tears, said hello and went back to his room.
Looking at Liu Zhi's back, Yang Jun shook his head helplessly.
After all, there is a deep love between brother and sister.
Even if Liu Lan did such an unbearable thing, she was his biological sister who broke bones and connected tendons. Blood is thicker than water. It is reasonable for him to worry about Liu Lan.
"Mei Zi, please try to persuade him when you have time. Don't let him do stupid things. He can't get involved in this matter." Yang Jun turned around and told Yang Mei.
"Humph, I'm too lazy to care. Let me tell you, his sister brought it upon herself, and she deserves it!" Yangmei slapped her chopsticks on the table and said angrily.
Just when Yang Jun was about to say something, Wang Yuying's face darkened and she scolded,
"Mei Zi, what are you talking about? His sister is his sister, and he is him. They can't be confused. Don't mention this in front of Liu Zhi, lest it affect the relationship between you two. Do you understand?"
Hearing this, Yang Mei trembled, and Nuonuo said: "I know, Mom."
