Chapter 27:

The scale of Dongjiang Textile Factory is not comparable to that of large enterprises like coal yards and steel plants. It can only be regarded as a medium scale. Moreover, it is still a light industry that the country does not attach importance to, so there are not many staffing in the labor union.
In addition to Chairman Sun, there are also the production committee member Zhang and the propaganda committee member Hu. In addition, Officer Lin and Yan Xiaofang, including Su Yu, have similar positions as clerks.
In addition, some of the following workshop managers are also holding part-time jobs in the union, cooperating with the union's usual work.
Regardless of such a small scale, even the office of the factory committee where factory directors and deputy directors gather, you can't take the labor union here.
One is that behind the trade union is the provincial trade union, which is the government unit. Leaning against the big tree is good for the shade. On the other hand, trade unions have the right to provide benefits.
That's right, the trade union not only does some propaganda work in the factory, organizes worker training and learning, social networking, but also holds the right to distribute workers' welfare. In addition to wages, what workers pay most attention to these days is annual welfare.
And because the trade unions usually have a lot of contact with workers, their prestige among the workers is also echoed.
The so-called one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, Chairman Sun's strength has caused an indelible contradiction between the trade union and the factory committee. Normally, there is no such thing as a mountain and dew, and the factory committee will attack the union when it finds an opportunity.
While Member Zhang and Member Hu were not in the office, Yan Xiaofang talked about these things to Su Yu over and over.
It was hard to say before, but now Su Yu is a member of the trade union, and she must be shown who the enemy is. Ahem, no, it's a competitor.
After Su Yu understood these conditions, she couldn't help being amused.
Where there are people, there are struggles. In such a small factory, there are still so many schemings.
And she was almost used as a gun.
As for Yan Xiaofang's statement that the factory committee unilaterally targeted the labor union, Su Yu did not fully believe it. If the union didn't have two brushes, could it still be as strong as it is now?
But no matter what, she was not prepared to fall into the war between the two.
In her eyes, this Dongjiang textile factory is just a basis for her temporary stay, she will not just stare at this three-square acre of land.
In the morning, Su Yu learned not only the inside information of the union, but also the usual work process of the union.
Her job is also very simple, mainly to assist Commissioner Hu in his propaganda work. In addition, organize various activities to enrich workers' lives and solve their personal problems by the way.
Yan Xiaofang, on the other hand, worked under Committee Member Zhang. Responsible for caring about the difficulties of employees in the production department. Help them. But Secretary Lin is terrible, he is dedicated to serving Chairman Sun. However, because Chairman Sun felt that he was a man, it was inconvenient to bring this around, so he usually came and went alone and didn't use Officer Lin very much.
Su Yu glanced at Officer Lin inadvertently, she was about the same age and married. Losing two big braids, he has been cold and indifferent to speaking.
Then I came to the conclusion that if I changed her, there would be no need for such a secretary. What the secretary does, he needs to be exquisite, so that he can inquire all kinds of useful information for the boss from various channels.
It seems that the small trade union is also quite lively.
Su Yu muttered to herself.
After get off work at noon, Yan Xiaofang invited Su Yu to eat in the cafeteria.
Su Yu smiled and shook her head, "I haven't turned my food, I'm still eating at home." It's good to eat at home, but it's great to eat in the cafeteria. It attracts attention.
"It's time to turn around, I think you should be independent and shouldn't be in charge of your family." Yan Xiaofang said solemnly. She felt that Su Yu contributed too much to the family.
Su Yu sighed, "I have been used to it for so many years." Independence is not good at all. No one does laundry and cooks, no one brings tea or water to clean up.
Yan Xiaofang sighed and couldn't persuade him any more. After all, it was a family affair. Fortunately, Su Yu has come to the trade union now, and his salary has risen. It must be better than before.
On the way to work, Su Xiaozhi curiously asked what Su Yu was doing in the union. Isn't it easy? You don't have to do anything, just sit and drink tea and read the newspaper.
"Nonsense!" Even if it was true, Su Yu would never admit it.
"You haven't seen how hard your sister is. There are just a few people in the union. How hard it is to take care of the people in the whole factory. Just organizing a table tennis match can be a month without sleep. I used to just do it. , Now I'm using my brain and hands, I'm tired!"
Su Dazhi and Su Xiaozhi were dumbfounded. This is different from what they thought.
Su Dazhi said, "Sister, should we return to the workshop?"
"What nonsense, do you think your family opened the factory. Besides, I can take care of you more in the trade union, so why are you afraid of being tired?"
Su Dazhi and Su Xiaozhi: "..." Sister always thinks of them all the time.
At noon, the meal at home is corn and pickles. I also bought a handful of greens, mixed with two pieces of bacon in it. It tastes delicious.
The fragrant food that the whole family ate was what Liu Mei sullenly ate alone.
From time to time I look at Su Yu and Su Dazhi again. I found that my eldest sister and her own man didn't care about them, and her complexion was even worse. But she didn't dare to be as noisy as before, she could only express her dissatisfaction with her face.
Su Yu didn't see it, so she washed her face after eating, and then went to work in the factory early. Su Xiaozhi quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks to follow. Su Dazhi was also ready to keep up, so Liu Mei stopped him, "Dazhi, do you still have me in your heart. I'm not happy, why don't you care about me?"
"Why are you upset?" Su Dazhi wondered. What’s bad about eating and drinking?
"It's yesterday."
Liu Mei said sourly, she saw Su Lin making clothes as soon as she came back.
Su Dazhi suddenly changed his face, and said with a calm face, "You are too small in your mind. What happened to my sister buying things for Xiaolin? You have no conscience. When Xiaolin is having trouble with you, your elder sister will protect you. Well. Now you blame the eldest sister for a piece of fabric. You are a white-eyed wolf! If you show your face to the eldest sister at night, you will go back to your natal family." He wants to provoke their family relationship, he is not deceived now.
Speaking of Liu Mei's hand, she ran out.
Liu Mei stood there dumbfounded. Then slowly my heart began to feel a little uncomfortable. Although what the man said was ugly, it seemed... there was some truth in it. The eldest sister protected her before.
"Meizi, what's the matter, quarreled with Dazhi? If you want me to say, you are too honest, your aunt is broken."
Aunt Liu was carrying a bowl of bowls and chopsticks, not knowing where it came out.
Liu Mei was taken aback, and then looked disgusted, "Second aunt, can't you keep staring at my house."
Annoying!
Aunt Liu: "...I am doing this for your own good."
"For my good, I didn't see you giving me a bite of food. My sister-in-law gave me something to eat and drink."
Liu Mei snorted and left with her bag on her back.
She wants to prove to the older sister that she is on the same mind as the old Liu family. Auntie shouldn't be so partial! Why is the fourth child, she doesn't? This kind of thing is too unfair!
Aunt Liu looked at her in-laws and niece in a daze, and almost didn't get angry. "This is a drug. Your aunt is a black-hearted radish."
Shattered, a basin of water poured out next to it, almost on Aunt Liu's feet.
She jumped in surprise, "What are you doing?"
Sister Lin entered the room with a smile on her pot.
On the other side, Su Yu was also thinking about her future work arrangements. As for Su Dazhi, who had caught up with her, she kept vowing to be on her side, but she didn't take it to heart.
She was not at all worried about Liu Mei's moths. When a person who was originally arrogant becomes only playing tricks or even dare not make trouble, this person basically won't make a big deal.
So she didn't have the time to say anything to Su Dazhi until she went to the factory.
Seeing Su Yu left, Su Dazhi said, "Is my sister angry?"
Su Xiaozhi proudly said, "I found out early. Hahahaha."
Sister is right, bad daughter-in-law kills three generations. To marry a wife, we still have to choose well.
In the afternoon, Su Yu started to work. Started to organize the materials and help Commissioner Hu compile the factory report.
The newspapers in the factory are full of learning documents, which are boring to look at.
Su Yu felt that she wouldn't read this kind of newspaper unless she could do nothing. The front-line workers are not well-educated, and this newspaper is completely useless for learning. Workers who are tired from work have the intention to learn from the factory's ideological instructions.
After Commissioner Hu left, Su Yu took the notebook and went out.
Officer Lin watched Su Yu leave, and said, "I just came to the union and ran around. This is not good."
Yan Xiaofang said, "Su Yu said that he went out to understand the situation of frontline workers for work."
"She came from the workshop herself, what else does she need to know?"
"You will ask Su Yu yourself later."
Yan Xiaofang continued to work with her head down. Anyway, she didn't believe Su Yu went out to play.
At this moment Su Yu is interviewing an old employee in the factory. An veteran worker who is about to retire, interviewed her the most difficult story in her life.
After recording the key points, Su Yu said, "If you can go back to the newspaper, you would like it to go to our factory newspaper."
The old aunt suddenly became energetic, "Huh, let me get into the newspaper. Well, maybe I say more, I just didn't make it clear. Oh, why didn't you say that you want to get into the newspaper earlier? I didn't prepare well. No, I have to talk to you again. In fact, it’s not too great. I have even greater things..."
"Auntie, I mean maybe I can."
"Then I'm done, don't you have more opportunities?"
"Fine, you continue to talk." Su Yu began to record again.
It was not until the end of get off work that Su Yu returned to the office. Seeing that there was still half an hour, she didn't say anything, so she began to sort out the story.
Through her own polishing and finishing, Su Yu condensed the life journey of this old aunt into a few thousand words.
I haven't finished writing until the end of get off work.
Su Yu asked Yan Xiaofang and Su Xiaozhi to speak, and asked him to stay and wait for him, and let Su Dazhi go back. After a while, Su Xiaozhi ran to the office and waited.
He stood at the door and looked inside, watching his eldest sister lying on the desk with a pen and writing, a sense of admiration grew spontaneously.
I waited until my stomach groaned before I saw Su Yu get up and come out.
"Sister, you worked too hard."
Su Xiaozhi said sincerely. He really believed it this time. I have been off work for so long, and my sister is still working. This is so hard. He never believed that the office was comfortable anymore.
It's better for him to move goods, and he can take a rest while moving a truck.
Su Yu said indifferently, "It's all for work, there's nothing hard about it."
"Sister, let's go back to eat. I'm starving to death."
Su Xiaozhi clutched his stomach and said.
Su Yu said, "What are you going to eat when you go back? Go to a restaurant. Sister left you to make up for you."
Su Xiaozhi's eyes were bright, "Sister, sister, you are so kind."
Su Yu smiled. What should I do if my body is hollowed out after long-term heavy-duty physical work. The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers.
When the siblings returned home in the evening, everyone in the family had eaten it, but the atmosphere at home was not good. To be precise, the atmosphere between Su Dazhi and Liu Mei is not good.
Su Lin leisurely sews new clothes for herself on the side, as if it doesn't matter to her.
Seeing Su Yu's return, Su Dazhi wanted to say something but stopped.
Su Yu looked at Liu Mei biting her lip and was aggrieved, and said, "What's wrong?"
"Sister, it's okay, I don't like her face expression and a few words."
Liu Mei aggrieved, "I didn't provoke you anymore. Why do you say me?"
Didn't she just mutter the old sister why didn't he come back for dinner, and left only the younger uncle, and the man Su Dazhi suddenly became angry.
She also said that she was to blame for the disharmony at home. Make the elder sister angry.
Su Yu looked at the two of them, then frowned at Su Dazhi, "Dazhi, this is your fault. Liu Meibai's face is upset, I haven't said anything yet, it's up to you to speak? You are not against lesbians. Respect. Liu Mei is a lesbian, and no man in the family is allowed to disrespect lesbians. Did you hear me?"
Su Dazhi: "..."
Sister, what do you think?
Liu Mei watched Su Yu protecting herself, and she almost shed tears. "Sister, I really don't have any ideas, I don't have any ideas. I will definitely not be so stingy in the future."
"That's right, lesbians have to want to start a little bit. Otherwise, they tend to get old. Great ambitions, good points with Liu Mei, don't quarrel."
Su Dazhi: "..."
"By the way, Dazhi, I will be in class tomorrow and you will send me off." Su Yu said.
Su Dazhi heard this and was immediately delighted, "Good, sister."
It seems that my sister is still satisfied with his performance.
In the evening, Su Yu inevitably heard something that shouldn't be heard. She turned over with her mouth tilted, and decided to change to a big house if she had a chance in the future. Divide the two people far away.
...
After arriving at the trade union the next day, Su Yu started writing and painting again. In the morning, I finally sorted out the manuscript I wrote. Then, while Director Hu was finished, he showed her his manuscript.
"Director, this is an idea I came up with accidentally. After all, I was a front-line worker before, so I thought of something from my standpoint. I think I can use the form of a story to incorporate these thoughts and spirits. Go in and let the workers learn their thinking by reading stories. And when I went for an interview yesterday, I found that the workers like to report to the factory. I think this might also inspire the workers."
Yan Xiaofang next to him heard it and said with a smile, "Did you do this yesterday?"
"Yeah, it took a lot of effort just to collect this information. I don't know if it will work."
Director Hu has been reading, Su Yu's writing is very simple, and there are not many wonderful writings. Compared with those literary giants, it is much worse. At best, it can only be regarded as a clear story. But precisely because of this, it is naturally a little grounded. Very easy to understand.
She feels that anyone who can read can understand the story.
Of course, the more important thing is that the content of the story is very good, by describing the story of a certain worker, to express the great spirit of the working class to contribute to the development of society.
"This is a good idea, it should be more than this one."
Su Yu smiled and said, "If you approve, I will prepare a series. The name is called the Iron Man series. Regardless of their contribution, they have the will of steel. We can even call for papers."
Member Zhang said, "Xiaosu's idea is quite good, so that we can have another task."
Yan Xiaofang said, "The workers in the factory will definitely like it. When the time comes, the demand for our factory reports will be large. There will be more contact with comrade workers."
"The key is that we can make this into a special feature. I think ours is an innovation." Committee Member Hu smiled and said, "Xiao Su, your innovation is very good, we can try it. In this way, we will be specific in the afternoon. Discuss how to implement it."
Su Yu touched her forehead. She is picking up people's teeth.
With this plan, Su Yu got busy very quickly, and it took two days to decide the matter.
Soon, the story written by Su Yu appeared in the factory newspaper.
"Isn't this Aunt Sun, she still reported it."
"I remember this, and I helped the factory when it moved."
"Yo, it's pretty good."
"This was written by Su Yu. Is that the Su Yu who went to the trade union in our factory?"
"Look, it's the workshop workers who know to take care of us. Who did we report to?"
...
As soon as the newspaper went out, Su Yu often encountered people asking her to greet her on the road. After chatting, she began to chat with her about the history of hard struggle.
When finally arrived at the factory gate, Su Yu was already sweating.
She felt as if she had dug a hole for herself.
"sister!"
As soon as Su Yu arrived at the gate of the factory, Su Xiaozhi ran over excitedly. Behind him, Su Dazhi also looked admiring.
"What's wrong?"
"Sister, I... let's talk while walking."
Su Xiaozhi took Su Yu and walked out.
Su Yu said, "Don't tell me about your hard history. Sister heard a lot today."
"It's not that." After walking half the distance, Su Xiaozhi couldn't wait to say, "Sister, don't you know, the squad leader of our loading and unloading squad called me today and said that I can take his place. Sister, I really want to get a fuller."
So fast, Director Xu is quite capable. And after turning a corner in this way, it is not easy for people to see the transaction between them.
"Sister, did you find it? Master Liu didn't say anything. I know it must be the relationship you found. You told me before."
Su Xiaozhi said excitedly.
Su Yu raised her eyebrows. Fortunately, sister said in advance, otherwise you will be lucky for yourself.
She coughed and coughed, "Calm down, what a big deal, haven't I told you about it a long time ago? Are you not mentally prepared?"
"Prepared, not ready." Su Xiaozhi smiled.
Su Dazhi looked at Su Yu with different winks. A job, if you get it, you get it.
The eldest sister is too capable.
He felt that his eldest sister made him more and more confused, and he didn't know how capable the eldest sister could still be. It must be very powerful anyway.
Su Yu said, "Did you say when to go through the formalities? Don't talk about it if you haven't decided this kind of thing."
