In the afternoon, get off work.
Looking at the bustling crowd at the gate, Zhang Zhifei rode his bicycle and drove Yang Manli carefully away from the steel rolling mill.
"Manli, you're pregnant. If you can't, we'll ask for leave and stay home."
"How can she be so delicate?" Yang Manli stroked her belly with a happy look on her face. After several years of conditioning, she seemed like a different person, becoming more plump and charming.
After her body was recuperated, Zhang Zhifei stopped taking birth control. After a period of hard work, the seeds were finally sown. It has been more than 7 months now, and the due date is around the National Day.
"Then you have to pay attention." Zhang Zhifei warned with some worry.
"I understand, Zhifei, our factory has become more and more chaotic recently. Many people are keen on talking about politics, and some second-rate people have come to the forefront. I really don't know what will happen if this continues." Yang Manli said worriedly.
"How is the situation in your Women's Federation? Are there any people who are particularly keen on politics?"
"Our Women's Federation is lucky. Most of them have families, and there are no people who are too keen on politics. But the work of the Women's Federation is getting less and less important, and there is almost no work day by day."
"It's okay. If you don't have a job, you and I can't worry about it. Don't talk about politics in the factory from now on. If other people ask you, just pretend you don't understand. You know?" Zhang Zhifei was afraid that his wife would be taken advantage of, so he told her in advance she said.
"Well, I understand. I heard from Tingting that today's students are becoming more and more restless."
"I was just about to tell you about this! Forget it, let's talk about it when we go home." Zhang Zhifei wanted to say something, but finally stopped. He was afraid that someone would hear him, which would cause trouble.
After the meal, Yang Tingting washed the dishes because Yang Manli was unwell.
Yang Manli was a little tired, so she lay on the bed and gently asked Zhang Zhifei what he planned to tell her in the afternoon.
"It's getting more and more chaotic outside now. I want Tingting to stop going to college and go directly to work." Zhang Zhifei thought for a moment.
"This is a solution, but now that it is getting harder and harder to find a job, where can she go to work?" Yang Manli said worriedly.
"Are you looking down on your husband? I am also a formal leader after all."
"So, you found a good job for Tingting?"
"Well, I went to see Secretary Li today to finish Tingting's job as accountant in the canteen of the steel rolling mill."
"real?"
"Um."
"That's great. Now I don't have to worry, Zhifei, thanks to you." Yang Manli gently leaned her head on Zhang Zhifei's shoulder, her eyes full of love.
"We are all a family, why are you being polite to me? By the way, you tell Tingting about going to work in the steel rolling mill, otherwise she will think that it is me, my brother-in-law, who won't let her go to college."
"Okay, I'll go over and talk to her now." Yang Manli said and prepared to stand up.
"I'm not busy. I'll tell her after the college entrance examination."
"Okay." Yang Manli changed her position and lay down again.
"Manli, what do you think about what I told you a few days ago?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." Yang Manli said a little embarrassed.
"Okay, if you haven't thought about it well, we'll just delay it and let him worry."
What Zhang Zhifei was talking about was Yang Chenghu, Yang Manli's biological father. Three years ago, Zhao Yu found Zhang Zhifei and asked Yang Manli what he thought of his father.
Although Yang Manli originally sought out Yang Chenghu to support her younger sister, now that she doesn't need Yang Chenghu to support her, she will naturally consider emotional issues.
He didn't know whether to accept it or not. It had been delayed for three years, but fortunately Yang Chenghu had been away from Yanjing in the past few years, so he still didn't know his daughter's attitude.
However, Zhao Yu visited Zhang Zhifei again a few days ago, and it was confirmed that Yang Chenghu would return to Yanjing at the end of this year, hoping that the father and daughter would recognize each other to make up for Lao Yang's guilt.
"Then let's meet, but we won't go to his home." Yang Manli thought for a long time and finally relented.
Zhang Zhifei also breathed a sigh of relief. The woman Zhao Yu didn't know what she was thinking. She approached him no less than 10 times about this matter. If it weren't for the huge age difference between the two, others would have thought that he was betraying Yang Manli.
The couple chatted a lot of thoughtful things throughout the night and fell asleep peacefully until late at night.
The next day, Zhang Zhifei received a notice from the factory office that his job position would be adjusted from the head of the propaganda section to the director of the canteen. Although both were leading cadres at the department level, publicity was a position in contact with leaders. Compared with the canteen director, It's a world of difference.
Many people thought that Zhang Zhifei offended Li Huaide and was sent away. The two of them also had a tacit understanding and did not spread any news. If you ask who is the most unhappy about Zhang Zhifei's appointment as canteen director, it must be Silly Zhu.
Zhang Zhifei went to the canteen to avoid disaster, not to achieve a spectacular result. Therefore, after taking up the canteen director position, he did not adjust his predecessor's work mode.
Still following Hou Haibin's method, he is responsible for managing the ingredients in the warehouse, communicating with the purchasing department, occasionally checking hygiene, or going out to purchase some scarce ingredients for entertaining.
Others thought he was being demoted, but he was the only one who knew that this was the job he wanted most.
As a canteen director, there is no way to stand in the way of others. Moreover, with my own merits, no one will have trouble with me because of my position as canteen director.
Being able to pass through the special ten years safely is the emotion expressed by Zhang Zhifei, the canteen director who has been working for a week.
…
The first day after the college entrance examination, late.
"Brother-in-law, is the matter really as serious as my sister said?" Yang Tingting asked Zhang Zhifei solemnly after dinner in the evening.
"Are you talking about the social environment and the teaching environment?"
"Um."
"Tingting, Qianqian, don't tell anyone what I said to you tonight. Even if you get married in the future, you can't even tell your husband. Do you understand?"
"I'm not getting married." Zhang Qianqian said crisply.
"Me too." Yang Tingting muttered.
Zhang Zhifei did not comment on what the two said, and then ordered his wife Yang Manli: "Manli, go guard the door and don't let others eavesdrop or break in."
Yang Manli didn't speak. She pressed a stool and sat silently at the door, pretending to escape the heat.
Yang Tingting and Zhang Qianqian also felt Zhang Zhifei's seriousness and seriousness, and began to listen carefully.
Zhang Zhifei looked at the solemn expressions of the two of them and then spoke slowly: "You two should have heard about my brother-in-law's boss, Li Huaide. His father-in-law is a ministerial leader and knows a lot of information that ordinary people don't know.
Starting next year, the college entrance examination will be cancelled. For a period of time in the future, there will only be workers, peasants and soldiers. Students who enter college this year will most likely be required to undergo re-education and be sent to remote rural areas after studying for a period of time."
Zhang Zhifei borrowed Li Huaide's father-in-law to tell them what would happen in the future.
"Brother, are you telling the truth?" Zhang Qianqian's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Well, it is basically certain that those who do not have jobs in the future will go to remote areas to receive re-education from poor and lower-middle peasants.
That's why I tried to find a job position for you, Sister Tingting, to work.
The same goes for you. You have one year left in high school. You should attend school honestly and don't go out with your classmates to criticize this or that.
If you feel that something is wrong, you should immediately stop classes and go home to take over your job at the textile factory. Don't get carried away and sign up with others to receive re-education from poor and lower-middle peasants. "Zhang Zhifei solemnly ordered the two girls.
"I know, brother-in-law." Yang Tingting knew that agreeing would mean that her college dream would be shattered, but she was convinced by Zhang Zhifei's words and did not raise any objections.
What she feared most was to be re-educated by poor and lower-middle peasants. From Chongqing to Yanjing, she knew very well what was going on in the village. Starving to death was not just a sentence in a book.
"Well, I understand, brother." Zhang Qianqian also rarely joked.
Zhang Zhifei felt relieved when he saw that the two women had indeed listened to everything. He was really afraid that the two of them would be rebellious and cause trouble.
