During my 12-year working career, I can't remember all the bosses I met. Only boss Pan, a professional fish farmer, has a straightforward personality, is practical and responsible, and treats people sincerely and kindly, which has left a deep impression on me.
On the eighth day of the fifth lunar month in 1992, I took my wife and my 57-day-old daughter to Quanyanshan Fish Farm in Zhongning. This is the hardest part-time job in my life. During this period, boss Pan's concern and care for my family impressed me deeply.
Mr. Pan, who is a round older than me, knows my hometown to a certain extent and often says to me, "The United Nations has confirmed that Xihaigu is an uninhabitable place for human beings, where it is bitter and the income is not guaranteed. If you can move to our place, your life will be better. "The listener is unintentional, but the speaker is intentional." ?
? Seeing the boss has put a lot of thought into making my family live better. I remember one day after dinner, I was under a jujube tree in front of my door, and I looked greedily at a lot of semi-dried jujubes hanging on the branches. At this time, Boss Pan came up to me with a smile and said, "The second main canal has eight acres of irrigated land and a small courtyard. Go and have a look at the two houses. Come and live here. You can buy them for two thousand yuan." I was very surprised to hear this, and immediately I saw a piece of corn with a height of more than one person, smiling at Huang Cancan, nodding to me frequently under the breeze. But then my joy was suddenly weighed down by two thousand yuan, a huge number, and I felt sad, and I couldn't help showing a mixed expression. The good news is that if I can move here, my living conditions can be changed, but the worry is that I don't have that much money.
Boss Pan looked at me and guessed my thoughts. He smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about money. I'll raise your salary from 9 yuan to 11 yuan a month. Apart from household expenses, you can pay me dozens a month. I won't rush money." I was ecstatic to hear that. I wrote to my parents immediately after the boss left, and finally went home for this matter.
I just got off the bus when I came back from my hometown, and I saw Boss Pan wandering under the jujube tree in front of the door. When he saw me coming back, he smiled like a greedy child who saw delicious food. When I told him that his parents didn't want to come here, his face suddenly lost a bright smile and he asked me to persuade my parents again. Helpless, I told him my parents' determination not to move again: "Go ahead, we won't move again, even if we feed your dog." After listening to what my parents said to me, Boss Pan shook his head and went home listlessly. I looked at the jujube on the tree and sighed long.
From then on, Boss Pan never mentioned that I moved here to live, but he still took care of my family outside, and also reminded us eleven young people who worked as "long-term workers" everywhere and taught us everything.
? I remember one day after lunch, my male and female colleagues and I just left school and stepped into the society came to the fish feeding platform to watch the water scenery and swim fish, and discussed how to be a man and do things. At this moment, Boss Pan walked over to us. After listening to our fruitless argument for a while, we said, "I'll give you a summary: be serious, be honest, be responsible, and be conscientious. It's not wrong to act according to this rule." His words reminded me of my childhood: Lin Shu, a Hui nationality who often came to chat with his father when I was a child, always asked his father, "Third brother, people often say that we should be conscientious in doing things. What do you mean by conscience? Is conscience green or gray? How much is it? How much is it worth? " I gave this sentence, which puzzled my parents all my life, to Boss Pan without changing a word. I've heard the explanation of this word too much, but I didn't put it properly. This time I want to know his opinion on "conscience".
Boss Pan smiled and combed his "big back" with his right hand. He said slowly, "Everyone has different opinions. I think conscience is a steelyard and a chameleon. It may not be green or gray, but I don't think it must turn black. If it turns black, the scale will smash you through sooner or later. " He smiled and picked up a small piece of stone and shook it hard, only to hear a swish, and the leisure fish sank sharply to the bottom of the water. The flaky floated more than ten meters away, and the water was covered with a circle of interlocking ripples. Boss Pan turned around and said with confidence, "When dealing with anyone, don't always think about taking advantage of others. A gentleman loves money and takes it wisely.' You are all very young, so you should have a bottom line. "He breathed a sigh of relief and then said," Conscience is a fair guy who gets along with others: when you feel almost the same, you have already taken advantage; When you feel that you are suffering, maybe this is justice; When you feel that you have taken advantage, the other party can't afford it. Always get along with people around these three principles, and there won't be too many mistakes. Everyone's heart is the same. There is no fool in the world. Everyone understands everything, but they just don't want to embarrass each other. After a long time, everyone will recognize it clearly. If it is too tricky, it will lose the sincerity and true meaning of people around you. This is something that cannot be exchanged with gold. " Although this is a chat, it has been affecting me for the rest of my life. In fact, Boss Pan taught us this "conscience scale", which will always hang on my mind and guide my life journey.
Boss Pan not only educates us in this way, but also does everything according to this standard. Boss Pan, who was born and raised on the bank of the Yellow River, is a man who left his father's love early. In order to make a living, he dropped out of school after the first day of junior high school, worked in a farm, and suffered from hunger. Therefore, he cherished the policy of reform and opening up, looked for opportunities that could be brought to him, and carefully observed ways to adapt to his own development. Finally, he stepped into the road of fish farming. With the help of his three brothers, he chose the road of fish farming, living in a kiln, eating dry cakes and so on. With hard-working and careful management, fish farming has developed smoothly. In less than ten years, with a starting capital of less than 1, yuan, more than 1 mu of fish ponds have been established in a five-kilometer-long gully beach. At that time, the fixed assets have grown to more than 1 million yuan.
The low-key boss Pan never showed off his rich capital to anyone, nor did he show off his boss's airs in front of us. In life, except for having guests at home, or sometimes cooking a small stove for his old mother, he hardly makes any specialization and eats, drinks and laughs with us. Boss Pan is also very easygoing in his work. He has never seen anyone yelling or complaining. He is calm and capable when he is in trouble. That year, Boss Pan studied for driving test, and when he was free, he drove his four-wheeler to the beach next to the fish pond to practice. He said to us, "This is a technology. If you want to learn it, you can practice it instead. You can earn more money by learning the principle of big and small cars." Also use a four-wheeled vehicle to demonstrate to us, let us learn how to drive the steering wheel and explain some knowledge such as when we can't overtake and honk. He stays with us when he has time. Apart from teaching fish farming techniques and experience, he also talks about the past and the present, which is very interesting.
As we become more and more familiar with it, we become more and more daring. Every day, when we take turns to drive four-wheeled vehicles to deliver things and feed to various fish ponds, we take this opportunity to practice driving skills according to the method that Boss Pan said.

One evening in early autumn, the setting sun gazed with its gentle eyes at the last time of a beautiful day in the fish and rice village, and its afterglow reflected the wisps of kitchen smoke rising from both sides of the fish pond, drifting leisurely to the sky. I am happy to drive a four-wheeler and Xiao Zhao to send feed to various fish ponds. When I turned right at a crossroads, I didn't hold the accelerator. The road was narrow, the speed was fast, and the turn was too urgent. The four-wheeled vehicle plunged into the fish pond. If the car beam was not carried on the edge of the pond, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to return, and the four-wheeled vehicle rushed into the fish pond three meters deep.
when I got off the bus, I knew I had made a big mistake. I was shaking all over, and my mind was only shaking. Boss Pan came up on a motorcycle and walked around the scene. He looked at me and said with a smile, "You are really lucky." Without further ado, I planned how to trailer up. When it comes to such a matter of life and death, he can really hold his breath as if nothing had happened, with the same expression and calm tone. I was a little puzzled.
A few days later, Xiao Zhao asked Boss Pan why he didn't punish me. He laughed and said, "He is shaking with fear. What shall I punish him for? Who doesn't make mistakes? Learn from experience and lessons, just don't go all the way to the end. You are young and bold, and you can't be reckless. You must first consider safety. " I was moved by his words and deeds. I wonder if there is anyone around you who is so calm when something happens? Do you have such a broad-minded person around you? He is the only one I have seen so far. The first time I saw Boss Pan handle things like this, I was very inspired. From then on, I respected him more. He is not only like us, but also generous to all those in need. He will try his best to help and never care about gains or losses. He said, "It is convenient for others and convenient for yourself". ? One morning in the second half of the first month of 393, I got up and ran, feeling the cold wind blowing, so I changed my previous route and ran along the dry Yellow River irrigation area. About two miles away, I came to a small bridge. It was not very bright, but suddenly I heard a painful voice and a faint groan. I stopped to look closely, and behind me was a cemetery. My scalp tightened and my heart drummed. I thought I would simply run into the village across the bridge and wait until dawn. A few steps across the bridge, I saw a bicycle with its front wheel twisted upside down next to a big stone at the bridge head. The barking sound came from the irrigation canal more than three meters high in front of the bicycle. I got up the courage to go down from Qubang, and I circled a man in a coat under the bridge and told him to ignore it. When I took a closer look, his head was stuck in the crack between the ice stubble and the bottom plate of the canal. I moved him to a pile of soft sand and only felt his head wet. Trembling, I climbed up the edge of the canal and ran back to the fish farm in one breath. I met boss Pan at the gate. He looked at me and asked me in surprise, "What's the matter?" I just found out that my hands are full of blood. After listening to me, Mr. Pan said that he didn't even care to wear his helmet, so he pushed out his motorcycle and drove away to the incident. He got off the bridge and told the man not to respond, so he rode to the opposite village to find his family. After a while, he returned and took me back. When he got home, he said that the man was from Dongcun, twelve miles away from here, and he was going to give a message to his family.
The next afternoon, Boss Pan was not at ease, and made a special trip to the hospital to see the man. His family cried with gratitude. He came back and told me that it took three or four hours to wake up. It turned out that this person was helping relatives in the West Village to build a house. After dinner, he drank wine. At 2 o'clock in the morning, because he was angry with his drinking friends, his relatives couldn't stop going home. When passing by here, the car hit a big stone and turned over the main canal. At that time, very few people had motorcycles. According to people nearby, since Boss Pan bought a motorcycle, I don't know how many times he has been running around helping people, and no one can remember.
Boss Pan is a warm-hearted person. He is not only helpful, but also supports a school boy in Qiancun who lost his father and his mother remarried, leaving only his grandfather and grandson to live together. When I heard that, I asked Boss Pan. He smiled and said, "That's a rumor. Am I that noble?" During the nine months I spent with Boss Pan, I heard and saw many such things with my own eyes ... < P >? Four
I went home on the day of "Dragon Looking Up", but I couldn't get away from farming and never went to the fish farm again. Our contact has always depended on letters. In the late twelfth month of this year, there was a beautiful year of "auspicious snow and good harvest". After the Spring Festival, I went to the intersection to pick up a relative near the fish farm. When I met him, he said to me, "After you went home, Boss Pan got a driver's license. In order to reduce the cost of feed, he bought a freight truck to pull the feed himself. The day before it snowed, he went to other places to pull the feed. On the way back, the road was slippery and the two cars collided, and the person died." He left his favorite old mother, his wife and children without warning, left the career he had worked hard to save money, and died. I couldn't help shivering when I heard the bad news. I couldn't help but burst into tears. I couldn't believe it was true. I gawk at the gray sky and the mountains and rivers covered by Yin Xue. Is it true that "good people love the sky and love it"? He is only thirty-seven years old this year.
Although the boss has passed away, his voice, smile and manners will appear in my mind from time to time. He has always lived in my heart and will never be forgotten. I always take him as a model and learn from his modest and low-key attitude, honest life, serious work, conscience and responsibility. I also feel lucky and proud that I have the honor to know such a respected boss as him.
