Sheng Chuncheng stood up and said to Mr. Lan, "Sit here and wait for me while I go buy water."
Mr. Lan said yes.
Sheng Chuncheng walked forward along the river embankment. When he walked past, the old man flying a kite was walking towards him. The two people passed each other. Sheng Chuncheng looked up and saw that he was still there.
I couldn't see clearly the pattern of the kite he was flying, I could only see a white light dancing and shining in mid-air.
After walking forward for a few minutes, there was a staircase. Sheng Chuncheng went down the steps and arrived at Xiaxiajiang Road. There was a three-way intersection. On the left was Chunjiang Huayue Community, and on the right was a newly opened community. On the first floor of the community
A circle of podium buildings are all storefronts, and there are two small supermarkets as far as the eye can see.
Sheng Chuncheng crossed Zhijiang Road and bought two bottles of water at the nearest small supermarket. When he walked to Mr. Lan, he saw Mr. Lan with his head tilted up and his eyes closed to relax.
When Mr. Lan heard Sheng Chuncheng approaching, he opened his eyes slightly, narrowed his eyes and smiled at him.
Sheng Chuncheng unscrewed the cap of a bottle of water, screwed it back, and handed the water to Mr. Lan. Mr. Lan said "thank you", opened the cap and took a sip.
Sheng Chuncheng took another bottle of water, sat down, unscrewed the cap and drank.
Mr. Lan held the water bottle in his hand, turned to look at Sheng Chuncheng, and said to him: "You must be tired of hearing me talk about the past, right?"
Sheng Chuncheng said: "Where is it? I like to hear it."
Mr. Lan was silent. After a while, she sighed:
"When I am alone now, I always think about things in the past. Sometimes a few hours have passed when I think about it. I always think that I must have gone wrong somewhere to get to where I am today, but I can't figure it out.
"
Sheng Chuncheng said: "Mr. Lan, don't be so pessimistic. It's not good for your health."
Mr. Lan shook his head: "I'm not pessimistic, but I feel that in the first half of my life, I have been very busy, always rushing for something, and never stopped or had a chance to think about it. Now that I have this opportunity, it is just right."
Summarize and summarize. It turns out that people can’t actually summarize themselves, and they can’t be objective because they have too many emotions.”
"It was really hard when you started your business." Sheng Chuncheng said, "It sounds very difficult."
"It was very difficult, but also very fulfilling. Especially when I look back now, I really feel that it was a great time." Mr. Lan said, "At the same time, I also admire myself a little. After so many things, so many things have happened."
I have gone through a lot of hardships. Now that I think about it, I don’t believe it. Is that really me?
"Let me tell you, after we established that small factory, Lao Ni and I stayed in the factory almost every day without even going back home. At that time, we had been married for less than a year, and the smell of paint on the furniture in our new house was so intense
We haven't dispersed yet, so we won't go home. We are all in the factory. We truly regard the factory as our home, working during the day and at night.
"I'm not afraid of making you laugh when I say it. We were young at that time. No matter how hard or tired we were, people would always have those needs. But we didn't do it properly in bed. We took advantage of the little time when others went home to eat.
Working on the pile of cloth and gauze in a hurry, it's like having an affair, but both of them feel good and happy.
"I can't even remember when we ended up not even being able to sleep on the same bed together. It was so wonderful back then, so tired and we had to take advantage of every opportunity.
"Haha, it's really a good idea to find every opportunity. My son was conceived in a gauze bag or a pile of cloth. The loom was running next to it. It was very noisy. The two of them couldn't even whisper, so they just worked hard.
This guy just came to join in the fun, haha.
"After I was pregnant, every day was the same. I still had to ride a bicycle to sell cloth in the market, or go to the national highway to wait for buses to come and deliver goods to those customers. But Lao Ni couldn't do it. He was stupid and couldn't bear to sell cloth, so he went to deliver goods.
I would always quarrel with the drivers when it came to delivering goods, and the drivers would not bring the goods to you even if you paid more money, so I had to go.
"My belly got bigger day by day. When I was more than three months old, the adults in my family no longer allowed me to ride a bicycle, saying they were afraid of miscarriage. People in rural areas have no common sense and think that it doesn't matter if I'm pregnant as long as my belly doesn't get bigger.
You have to pay attention only when your belly is big. I don’t know that after three months, it is actually a very safe period for pregnant women. It is only dangerous when you are just pregnant.
"We were not allowed to ride bicycles, so we bought a human-powered tricycle. Lao Ni pedaled in front, and I sat in the back compartment with the goods. A tricycle is not as good as a bicycle. It is more strenuous to pedal? But there is no way. We go there for more than ten times every day.
For more than ten miles, he would pedal.
"When I go to the market to sell cloth, in the afternoon, when I have sold out the cloth, he has to come to pick me up. If he doesn't pick me up, he can't go back. At that time, there were not as many online ride-hailing buses as there are now. At that time, in the countryside,
Either riding a bicycle or walking. In this way, he would have to ride four times a day, covering a distance of fifty or sixty miles. Do you think it is hard or not?"
Sheng Chuncheng nodded. He didn't expect that old Ni with a big belly and slicked back hair could endure hardships so much when he was young.
"It's hard for him and it's hard for me. It's not comfortable to sit behind a tricycle. In addition, the road was not easy to walk at that time. When it's uphill, or on rainy days, or on bumpy roads, I have to get out of the car and help.
The same goes for strollers. The same goes for sitting in a stroller. I hold my belly every day and be careful, just in case the bumps and bumps might cause a miscarriage.
"However, at that time, even though it was so hard, people were still very fulfilled. Why, I had goals and hope in my heart. The happiest thing was that at that time, I had hope in my heart. As long as you work hard, your goals will
It is really possible to realize it one by one, which makes me happier than anything else.
"When there was no stall, I thought it would be great if we could have a stall in the Textile City. As we had money, we bought a stall, and our goal was really achieved. We kept buying from there.
, we kept buying. At the most, we had eight stalls in the Textile City, as well as an office building above the Textile City.
"When we only had two broken machines, we were too busy every day, so we thought it would be better to have three or four machines so that customers' orders would not be delayed. As a result, we bought four more old machines. The old machines made
When I was doing it, I just thought about how nice it would be to have a decent factory with new machines inside.
"As a result, the land of our family and theirs was expropriated. The town began to build a development zone in our place. We are close to the water, so of course we moved in. It didn't cost much to build the factory. We took the land compensation money to build it.
In order to encourage us, the town gave us cheap land and offered incentives for building factories.
"After having my own factory, less than two years later, the factory was no longer enough. I wanted to build a bigger factory and weave my own fabrics. I felt that was not enough. I also had to do printing and dyeing, and also made polyester yarn, one-stop.
.At that time, it was really like this. It seemed that you could do whatever you thought about. Sometimes, opportunities would come before you even thought about it. You were pushed by all aspects to go fast and develop.
"Every year and every month, I feel like I am changing so fast that you can't even believe it. When I first set up the factory, I thought it would be great to be able to produce an output value of 200,000 yuan a year. I didn't dare to think too big.
, As a result, we made more than 2 million in the first year, and within five years, the output value exceeded 100 million, and it seemed like it would only take a few months to exceed 200 million again.
"Later on, I stopped thinking about it. They all turned into numbers. No matter how much they expanded, they were just numbers. It didn't seem as exciting as it was at the beginning. Looking at them again, even my heartbeat wouldn't speed up.
"Haha, tell me, Xiao Sheng, is this a lack of human support? But days like that are really happy. No matter how busy I am every day, I keep complaining, saying that I am too busy, but I am happy in my heart.
Yes, I was often so busy that I almost laughed out loud. I have never felt this happy again."
