Chapter 582 581 The eldest sister is laid off and wants to work alone
She and two sisters, Fang Mingmei and Fang Mingli, help their mother-in-law in the kitchen.
Although Song Tangtang was born in a high-ranking family and has the image of a corporate boss outside, when he returned to Fang Minghua's parents' house, he still paid great attention to his identity - the daughter-in-law of the Fang family. Generally, all the kitchen work was done I did it with my two sisters-in-law.
At this time in the past, Fang Mingmei, as the eldest sister, was talking and laughing while working, telling interesting things that happened between the female workers in their workshop, but today she spoke very little and her face did not look good.
Fortunately, I am going back to my parents’ house. If I were to go back to my mother-in-law’s house during the Chinese New Year, my mother-in-law would think that she would be so happy during the Chinese New Year and my daughter-in-law would give me such a good look.
In the evening, when several families were eating around a large round table, Song Tangtang quietly told her husband Fang Minghua, who was sitting next to her.
Fang Minghua didn't pay attention to this detail. When his wife said this, he found that the eldest sister looked worried, and she also pretended to smile when greeting people to eat.
Looking at my brother-in-law Chen Jianmin sitting next to him, he was drinking but seemed to have something on his mind.
A fight?
It's very possible, but since it's the Chinese New Year, Fang Minghua naturally doesn't want to ask more questions.
After dinner and clearing away the dishes, everyone sat for a while and watched TV with their parents, and then went back to their homes around eight o'clock.
Seeing that it was almost time, Fang Minghua and Song Tangtang were preparing to return to their homes with their children. At this time, they heard the eldest sister Fang Mingmei said: "Minghua, don't leave yet. I want you to help me make some decisions about something. "
Brother-in-law Chen Jianmin said hurriedly: "What's there to say? Let's discuss it ourselves."
"No! I've discussed it with you several times, but what's the result? Quarreling!" Fang Mingmei disagreed: "Now that my parents, brother, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law are here, let's talk about it and see whose idea it is!"
As the leader of everyone, Fang Changhe is like a man. They both smoked and rarely talked, but after hearing what the eldest daughter said, he immediately looked at her and said slowly: "Mingmei, what happened?"
When the father-in-law spoke, Chen Jianmin naturally could no longer stop him, so Fang Mingmei told the story of the incident.
It turns out that the cotton spinning enterprises that were booming in the early 1980s began to decline in the late 1980s. Especially after entering the 1990s, the products produced by major cotton spinning mills could not be sold, and the economic benefits sharp decline.
Xijing Cotton Spinning Factory No. 6 also faces the same problems, with aging equipment, single products, and a large number of retired employees with heavy burdens.
“Our factory is now messing up the three iron projects, destroying the “iron rice bowl,” “iron position,” and “iron wages,” and laying off some employees. The list was announced two years ago, and I am on the list. "Fang Mingmei said.
The eldest daughter is about to be laid off!
Zhang Fenglan, who was standing next to her, suddenly widened her eyes and couldn't help but say: "Why should you be laid off? You joined my class! You are a serious factory employee!"
"Back then, I was working in the textile industry When you were the monitor in the workshop, you, Factory Manager Liu, were just a technician! Now you are bullying my eldest sister, Zhang Fenglan’s daughter. Hey, I’ll talk to him after the New Year!”
< br>Seeing the mother-in-law's fierceness, Chen Jianmin, the eldest son-in-law next to him, quickly said: "Mom, it's not that serious. I've talked to Factory Manager Liu, and he promised not to let Mingmei get laid off, and change her position to work as a custodian in a warehouse! ”
Chen Jianmin is the deputy director of the machine repair workshop. He is a technical backbone in the factory and can still speak in front of the factory leaders.
After hearing what the eldest son-in-law said, Zhang Fenglan turned her head and looked at her eldest daughter with some doubts: "Mingmei, can I be a custodian? It's just that the salary is lower than that of front-line workers."
"Mom, you don't know, our factory has not paid wages for two consecutive months! What's the use of high or low wages?" Fang Mingmei muttered: "Besides, what's the future of a custodian? Maybe he will be laid off in the future! "
Sister Fang Mingli and her sister had the same idea, and immediately thought of something and interrupted: "Sister, don't you want to work in the factory?"
"Yes, Mingli is right!" Fang Mingmei immediately said! Said: "Actually, I don't want to work for a long time! The textile workshop is hard and tiring. In the past few years, the wages were high, and the hard work was worth it. But these few years have been good. Others have increased their wages. Not only have we, the textile workers, not had an increase, but Reduce wages! It’s better to just lay off! I think this factory will close down sooner or later! I’d better go out and do it myself!” “Sister, what do you want to do?” Fang Mingli asked again.
"I've already thought about it! Go to Luoma City to open a clothing store to sell clothes! It's especially profitable." Fang Mingmei expressed her opinion.
"Mom and Dad, Mingmei is just messing around! Those laid-off female workers are crying and begging to go back to work, but the factory doesn't want her. She won't be laid off, but she has to be laid off!" Chen Jianmin complained next to him.
That’s it!
Everyone understands that the couple is having a conflict over this matter.
After listening to the narration of their eldest daughter and eldest son-in-law, Fang Changhe and his wife understood the cause and effect of the matter, but they were undecided for the moment.
Who do you listen to? It all seems to make sense.
Although Fang Mingli and her husband Liu Jianhua are top students at NPU, they have been studying since childhood and are now assigned to the 631 Institute for scientific research. They do not understand these things, so everyone's attention is turned to Fang Minghua and his wife.
Fang Minghua is now the most promising in the family, and his daughter-in-law Song Tangtang is even more impressive. She runs a big company and is the leader!
Fang Mingmei told Minghua not to leave just now, so she naturally wanted to listen to his opinion.
"Minghua, what do you think about what your eldest sister said?" Fang Changhe asked slowly.
Fang Minghua did not answer directly, but asked Fang Mingmei: "Sister, you said you wanted to open a clothing store in Luoma City. Have you investigated? Purchase channels and so on."
"I have investigated! The clothing stores in Luoma City mainly purchase goods from Wenzhou. Miaoguosi Clothing Wholesale Market and Huanglong Trade City Clothing Accessories Market. Some also purchase goods from Kangfu Road, but the one on Kangfu Road The quality of the things is not good, so I can’t sell them at a high price at the mule and horse market. I plan to get the goods from Wenzhou and sell finished women’s clothing specifically!”
After hearing the elder sister’s words, Fang Minghua and Song Tangtang looked at each other and exchanged glances. , finally Fang Minghua said.
"I think what the eldest sister said makes sense."
Seeing Chen Jianmin about to speak, Fang Minghua hurriedly said: "Brother-in-law, listen to what I have to say. The textile factory is not as efficient as a year. One year, this is not just the case in factories like Xijing Textile City, but also in cotton weaving factories across the country. The equipment is old, the products are single, the personnel are large, and the burden is heavy. A large number of foreign textiles are pouring into the domestic market and occupying the market, and you can't compete with them at all. The private factories in the south are competing, so it’s a good thing to leave early. My eldest sister is only 35 years old this year, so she can start her own business!” Minghua supports you!" Song Tangtang immediately expressed his attitude: "If you are short of funds, tell Minghua."
"There is no shortage for the time being." Fang Mingmei said hurriedly: "I am going to spend 20,000 yuan. We have taken a fancy to a storefront in Luoma City that is to be transferred. The annual rent is 7,000 yuan. I will hire a little girl to help me look after the store. Including water and electricity, it can’t exceed 9,000 yuan a year, and the rest is enough for purchasing!”
“Okay, sister, just ask if you have any difficulties,” Fang Minghua added.
Fang Minghua and his wife made such a statement that it was hard for Chen Jianmin to say anything he wanted to say. Fang Changhe and Zhang Fenglan also agreed.
Zhang Fenglan also said that if she is too busy by then, she can go over and help.
They are all my daughters, their palms and backs are full of flesh.
Fang Mingli and Liu Jianhua naturally had no objections. After hearing Fang Mingmei's words, Liu Jianhua fell into deep thought and didn't know what he was thinking.
