    "It's time to eat, it's time to eat, Xiaozhen, go ask Ling Chen to come over for dinner." Shen Biying came out of the kitchen with a bowl of oily braised pork, put it on the dining table, and said to her daughter-in-law Xue Zhen.  "Okay." Xue Zhen responded softly, let go of her daughter, and stood up with a puffy belly.  "It's better that I call you, and you go to the kitchen to help Biying serve the dishes." Father-in-law Kong Ze put down the newspaper, took off his reading glasses, opened the door, and went downstairs.  Kong Lingchen¡¯s family currently has two suites.  Not long after they got married, they participated in the sixth batch of house purchases and bought a set of 45 square meters.  The construction of the new city had just begun at that time. In order to attract domestic educated youth, the house price was set at a very low price. It only cost more than 400 yuan, which was equivalent to three months of Kong Lingchen's salary. It was like giving it away for free.  The next year, Xue Zhen became pregnant.  In order to take care of her, Kong Lingchen¡¯s mother came over from Shanghai, and the house was not enough to live in.  Kong Lingchen¡¯s total monthly income at that time reached more than 100 yuan. He was one of the few rich people in the factory and had a lot of money, so he spent money to buy another 75-square-meter apartment in Jinggong Community.  However, because it is the second set of house buying, there is no discount. This three -house suites cost more than 1,600 yuan.  Although it is more than three times more expensive than the first one, it is only equivalent to his annual income.  Besides, Xue Zhen also had a job and applied for installment payment. It was not difficult to buy this apartment.  Now, Mr. and Mrs. Xue Zhen live in a three-unit apartment, while Shen Biying and his wife live in their original one-unit apartment.  ¡°Perhaps it was because his family conditions were good when he was a child. After going to the mountains and countryside, he resented the life in the countryside and developed a compensatory mentality. After Kong Lingchen started working, he became very obsessed with various modern household appliances.  He bought two portable recorders, and bought and replaced several tube amps and power amplifiers.  Later, a five-point one-channel combo stereo was launched in the base area, and he went to buy another set.  In order to place these audio equipment, wooden floors were specially laid in a room, the walls were soundproofed, and a listening room was built.  I often buy and read audio magazines and become a hifi enthusiast.  It was already past seven-thirty, and he had already finished get off work in the factory. Xue Zhen had been here for almost two hours, but Kong Lingchen hadn't come yet, so he must be in the listening room again.  Xue Zhen helped her mother-in-law bring out the dishes and put them on the table. Then, before the meal started, she breastfed her one-year-old daughter to keep her full.  Her daughter looks like her, with a round little face, a small upturned nose, and a pair of dark eyes that are very cute.  She rarely cried when she was a baby, and became more sensible after one year old. She always sat quietly next to her mother, and pulled her mother's sleeves and hems, never annoying her.  Shen Biying and his wife still love their little granddaughter.  However, although the Kong family has three children, the first two are sisters, and there is only one boy, Kong Lingchen.  Out of the traditional preference for boys over girls, they still hope that Xue Zhen can give birth to a boy for their Kong family this time so that they can continue the family line.  Fortunately, there is no family planning in the base area. Xue Zhen became pregnant again less than a year after giving birth, giving them some hope.  For the sake of their possible future grandchild, Shen Biying and his wife did not even go to work. Xue Zhen was only more than three months pregnant, so they asked for a long leave from their work unit and came to take care of her.  "I'm eating braised pork again today. Why do I eat braised pork every day?" The door opened, and Kong Lingchen's voice floated in before he came in.  Hearing her father's voice, her daughter immediately opened her big black eyes. As soon as she saw Kong Lingchen's figure appearing at the door, she immediately opened her small mouth with two baby teeth and smiled, stretched out a pair of chubby little hands, and made a milky sound.  Kong Lingchen said in a vague voice: "Come on down, hug me!" "My little darling, okay, okay, daddy will hug her now, come on, let daddy kiss you!" Kong Lingchen loved this daughter to death.  As soon as he heard the sound of her milk sucking, his eyes narrowed into a thin line. He didn't even have time to change his shoes. He ran over in three steps and then two steps at a time. He picked up his daughter and kissed her on the face, making her laugh.  The daughter giggled and shook her head from side to side to avoid the stubble on his chin.  "What are you going to eat if you don't eat braised pork? You've only had enough food for a few days and you feel like a master? You don't even want to eat braised pork." Shen Biying hit him on the head with chopsticks, "I'll go to Jinxiu Plaza tomorrow.  Go, buy a piece of hairtail and shut your mouth!¡± Although the breeding industry in the base area is good and chicken, duck and fish are abundant, seafood such as hairtail is still very scarce and can only be sold in Xincheng supermarkets.  It¡¯s just that the price is much more expensive than pork. One pound of hairtail is worth two pounds of pork.  "Mom still loves me the most!" Kong Lingchen slapped her on the back with a playful smile, and then kissed her daughter's little cheek that was bruised by the blow, "Nanny, you are in good hands."??Dad will feed you hairtail fish tomorrow.  Let me tell you, this hairtail is delicious. My father didn¡¯t even have the chance to eat much of it when he was a kid. You¡¯ll know after you eat it tomorrow. It¡¯s much more delicious than pork or chicken.  " "The fisheat" My daughter can't speak many words, and she can't understand his long speech. She can only roughly imitate his accent and repeat it, making the whole family happy again. "She also  My little one can¡¯t even eat too much porridge, but if you let her eat hairtail, she won¡¯t be afraid of fish bones getting stuck!  "Kong Ze couldn't help but cursed when he heard his son's outlandish words. "I'll just help her pick out the fish bones."  "Kong Lingchen said unconvinced. "You can't even pick out your own thorns, and you're going to pick them out for your daughter!  " Shen Biying distributed the bowls and chopsticks and said sarcastically. "It's better for me to choose for my daughter. She hasn't grown all her teeth yet, so I'll chew them up first before feeding her.  "Xue Zhen said softly to the side, trying to smooth things over for her husband. The family sat down. "By the way, Dad, TV sets will be on sale tomorrow, and I decided to buy one too.  Tomorrow, Sunday, we happen to go out to play as a family.  "Kong Lingchen saw the newspaper his father was reading, mixed with an advertising flyer for Xincheng Supermarket, and reached out to pick it up. "There will definitely be a lot of people tomorrow!  "Kong Ze said very little and chewed slowly. "There must be a lot of people. Tomorrow is Sunday."  People have chosen tomorrow as the TV station's first broadcast day because they have identified a rest day, so they can sell a few more TV sets.  Let's go take a look first. If it's not crowded, we'll buy one.  If there are many people, we will go to the nearby Shushan Park to play. Anyway, it won¡¯t waste time.  "Kong Lingchen spread out the flyer, clicked on the beautiful pictures on it, and said, "If you want to buy something, buy a bigger TV, a 21-inch large-screen color TV.  ¡± His current income is higher than two years ago. The monthly salary, bonus, seniority salary, academic salary, subsidies, etc. add up to more than 400 yuan. More importantly, he also enjoys special contributions.  There is an additional 500 yuan per month for the allowance. Xue Zhen also has about 200 yuan a month. Together, the two of them earn a monthly salary of 1,230 yuan for a 21-inch large-screen color TV, which is just a month's salary!  "You just have too much money to burn!  Shen Biying said sharply, "Why buy something so expensive?"  I think it would be good to buy a 19-inch one.  I'll save the extra money for you so that you won't panic if something happens in the future.  " Kong Ze nodded, fully agreeing with his wife's words. "Mom, that's an old idea!  But Kong Lingchen is not like that. He has his own understanding, "There are only four things in life, food, clothing, housing and transportation."  Clothes are cheap at 5 yuan and expensive at 100 or 200 yuan; food, our family eats and eats every day for less than 100 yuan; accommodation, although there are no discounts in the base area now, but compared with the salary level, it is only 100 yuan.  Two years of income; OK, it doesn¡¯t cost much, whether you take the bus or ride a bike.  When you go to the hospital, you pay for minor illnesses yourself, and the state pays for serious illnesses. How many illnesses can you get this year and how much money do you spend?  Xiaozhen gave birth to a baby last year. She stayed in the hospital for a month before and after the birth, but she only paid more than 1,000 yuan in fees.  Education, schooling in the base is free.  If you have the ability, you don¡¯t need to pay a penny of your own money until you graduate from Ph.D.  Working, even if you can¡¯t find a suitable position for the time being, you can continue to stay in a labor skills school, or you can re-adjust your career choice by not enrolling in a new major at university.  The Department of Labor and Social Services also pays me 20 yuan a month. It's definitely not possible to live comfortably, but at least I won't go hungry.  Think about it, what else do you need to worry about?  The money you earn is just for use. I spend a lot, but I also earn a lot!  " "You always have a point!  Even if you are not short of money, why don't your eldest sister and second sister give you some money?  "Shen Biying couldn't compete with her son, so she had to talk about her two daughters. "The eldest sister married a state cadre, what else could happen?  Although the second sister is almost there, she hasn¡¯t arranged a job since she returned to the city, so why don¡¯t I send her fifty yuan every month? It¡¯s so kind and righteous¡± Before he could finish his words, Shen Biying knocked on the forehead: ¡°  What does benevolence mean?  Why are you talking? That's your sister!  " "I asked her to come to the base area, but she refused. She thought this was the countryside and I didn't know which side was more like the countryside.  If she doesn't come, I still give her fifty yuan a month, which is more than she earns even if she works. Isn't that kind enough?  "Kong Lingchen said bitterly, "Besides, the base area is developing so fast, and everyone's income is rising.  When I first started working, I was overjoyed to receive seventy-eight yuan a month. In just a few years, my income has increased to thousands!  Depending on the development of the base area, our income will increase in the future. Yesterday you saw that this money was still valuable. Look at it again after a while" "It is still valuable!  "Shen Biying said decisively. Kong Lingchen wasAfter choking for a moment, he changed his words: "Yes, it is still valuable, but as the income continues to increase, we will have more and more money. What I mean is that the consumption power of the base area is increasing, and we cannot look at things from the old perspective. Besides,  If no one spends money, who will the products be sold to? In the end, if the products cannot be sold, the factory will go bankrupt, and we will still receive the twenty yuan per month from the Labor and Social Services Department?¡± ¡°  Will the factory close down?" Shen Biying said in surprise.  "Of course! Private owners can go bankrupt, why can't state-owned units go bankrupt? If they know that the state will take care of everything, then every factory will not pay attention to its work. In the end, there will be too many people to work, and who will do the work? This has been said many times in the factory. Director  The workshop director and team leader all keep a close eye on the factory, fearing that the workers will be lazy and produce defective products, causing the factory to eventually close down." Kong Lingchen looked down upon his mother for being so strange.  "It seems to be like this here," Kong Ze confirmed, having read a lot of newspapers and knowing some of the base areas that are different from those in China, "If you don't do well here, you will be fired. If the factory doesn't run well, it will close down. It's called that  Asset reorganization. " "How come this is still the Communist Party's world?" Shen Biying was shocked and said indignantly.  "How refreshing are your words? Who said that the world of the Communist Party will support lazy people! Besides, this has not yet reached distribution according to need. Now it is socialism, which can only be distributed according to work! The more you work, the more you will get, and the less you work, the more you will get.  I don¡¯t get what I deserve without hard work! I have good skills and work hard, and I have created huge value for the factory and the country. I would think it would be unfair if my just dues were distributed equally to people who don¡¯t work hard!  Kong Lingchen curled his lips.  If the base area really makes a big pot of rice and can develop, then there is something wrong!  Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotia.net
