This news was like a gust of wind, and soon spread throughout the entire hardware machinery factory's families' courtyard, and became a topic of discussion in the entire family's courtyard.
For hardware machinery factories, which can be described as big or small, people move to new homes almost every year.
Ordinarily, this move is not news.
However, it will be different when Shen Lin moves!
Firstly, Shen Lin was moving to a home he had built with his own hands; secondly, it was because Shen Lin's home far exceeded their current living conditions.
"I heard that Shen Lin's house has two floors, which is similar to the residence of the leaders of the main factory!" After dinner, Li Tianbao's family, who had gathered together to chat after a busy day, began to talk about this matter .
"Really, a two-story house plus land must cost tens of thousands!" Li Tianbao's mother, a middle-aged woman who works in a textile factory, said with envy.
Li Tianbao's father, Lao Li, was in charge of logistics at a hardware and machinery factory. Although he didn't move all the logistics stuff back home in a subtle way, he still had this advantage in his hands and was able to maximize this privilege. , at the very least, their living conditions are extraordinary.
There are three large houses connected together. One is used as a living room and dining room. In addition to the old Li and his wife, the other two rooms are shared by Li Tianbao and his brother Li Erbao. This is also spacious in a hardware and machinery factory. of.
But their spaciousness is nothing compared to Shen Lin's house.
At this time, Lao Li was drinking white wine from his cup. The wine was grain wine that cost 50 cents per catty, but what Lao Li drank every day was delicious.
"Okay, don't envy others. If we have the ability, we can live in a house like this." Lao Li said with a hint of emotion: "It's useless to be envious. It's useful to imitate others!"
Lao Li's words immediately made the atmosphere at home quiet down.
As the person in charge of logistics, Lao Li is also considered a figure in the factory, with a high profile, but these days, Lao Li is a bit unable to hold his head high.
After all, the New Year's Day is approaching, but the factory has no money and can't issue anything. Although the factory director Bai Bin is mainly scolded, he, the person in charge of logistics, also feels shameless.
Although he wanted to argue with others, the key was that someone had to listen to your excuse, so although he had resentment in his heart, he could only endure it.
"Who can learn from Shen Lin?" Li Erbao works in the tertiary industry of a hardware machinery factory. He does not have to do any work these days, and he has not been paid for half a year.
He took a piece of fermented bean curd and spread it on the steamed buns, and said with a hint of admiration: "Shen Lin was fired. I didn't expect that people would rebound. In just six months, they have created such a big situation. Let me do it." I really can’t do it.”
"But dad, I really don't want to work in the third production of our factory. You know what's going on in the factory. It's just a waste of time for me to be there."
"Guangzi and Qiangzi have an income of more than one hundred yuan every month. Although my relationship with Shen Lin is average, when it comes to work, I am much better than them."
Li Erbao's words immediately made Lao Li glare. As the person in charge of logistics, his relationship with the factory director Bai Bin was naturally unusual.
If his own son went to Shen Lin to do it, if Bai Bin asked him about it in the future, he, Lao Li, would have to slap him in the face!
"How dare you!" Lao Li, with his eyes wide open, directly put the wine cup on the table, pointed at Li Erbao with his finger and yelled: "You heartless bastard, there is no shortage of food and drink for you at home, if you dare to run away Go over to Shen Lin and see if I don't break your legs!"
Having said this, he turned to Li Tianbao and said, "Don't come up with random ideas here. Work conscientiously. The factory will be your iron rice bowl."
"Although Shen Lin seems to have made a lot of money and looks glamorous on the surface, he may fall down at some point. Why can't you see that he still has this risk!"
Although Lao Li usually doesn't talk much, at home, Lao Li is the real leader.
Basically no one in the whole family dared to talk back to Lao Li's arrangements, let alone anything else.
Li Erbao was very angry, but he could only stare at his job. His brother Li Tianbao said: "Dad, when Shen Lin moves on New Year's Day, should we still follow the ceremony?"
"Yes! Why not?" Lao Li drank the remaining wine in the cup in one gulp, and then said seriously: "We are all neighbors, we must accept this gift."
"In this way, we will follow whatever others follow."
Lao Li's wife was a little worried about the money given as a gift, and muttered in a low voice: "I heard that everyone is prepared to give away ten yuan."
"Since we won't let Erbao go to Shen Lin's factory, there's no need to curry favor with him. Why should we give him so much money?"
"This ten yuan is enough to buy decent clothes for the two children."
Listening to the old woman's nagging, Lao Li couldn't help but feel a little upset. Firstly, he felt that his authority had been challenged. Secondly, he felt that all these neighbors were snobbish. When he saw that Shen Lin was doing well, he immediately took action. Go out and flatter others!
Thinking of this, he became even more unhappy, and immediately got angry at the old woman and said: "You prodigal bitch has long hair and short knowledge, you know nothing! Although Shen Lin said he didn't know when he would fall, but if he did I’ll do better in the future.”
"We will never deal with him again."
"What's more, Director Shen is the deputy director of the main factory. What's wrong with being more casual?"
The two brothers, Li Tianbao and Li Erbao, had a tacit understanding and stopped talking. However, they did not object to giving Shen Lin more advice at this time.
Even if I don't go to Shen Lin's factory now because of my father's pressure, in the future, I might have to use Shen Lin.
This is a rare opportunity, so if you should be polite, you should still be polite.
There are still many conversations going on in the Li family. At Shen Lin's house, Chen Hongying was sitting at the dining table eating while talking to her daughter and son-in-law.
These days, as long as Chen Hongying can find something trivial, she has an excuse to come to Shen Lin's house for dinner.
Not to mention, outsiders think that this son-in-law is very smart and a genius in business, but in the eyes of Chen Hongying, the mother-in-law, this son-in-law has another advantage that benefits her very much, that is, he is very willing to spend money on food. .And what’s rare is that he did it himself!
For example, this beef is stewed to a pulp, and there are also rare tomatoes here. Wow, it tastes really good.
Beef is so expensive, so a big boss like Shen Lin only cares about the taste and not the price.
"Shen Lin, I asked all my old sisters. They didn't even bother to come on New Year's Day, and they didn't miss any of them. They were all ready to give you a gift of ten yuan!"
Speaking of the ten-dollar gift, Chen Hongying became even more elated. When Shen Lin got married this year, these people just took five yuan for Lao Shen's sake.
Now, these people can give him ten yuan for his son-in-law's face, which makes Chen Hongying feel extremely excited.
She felt that there must be some respect for her in this. If she hadn't organized this event herself, those people wouldn't have given her such generous gifts.
For just ten yuan per family, this mere gift can collect more than two thousand yuan!
Thinking of the big figure of more than two thousand yuan, she felt a little excited, but looking at the dull expressions of Shen Lin and Lu Xiaorong, she had no interest in talking about it.
Let’s not talk about the money earned by the son-in-law, let’s talk about my daughter. Lu Xiaorong’s monthly manuscript fee is two to three thousand. The reason why she can live so comfortably is not because her daughter Lu Xiaorong, a filial baby, always returns to her parents’ home. They all quietly give themselves money.
Just when Chen Hongying felt that the two thousand yuan was a bit small, Lu Xiaorong said: "Ten yuan for a family gift is a bit too much."
