In the blink of an eye, the winter of 1972 has arrived, and the New Year is about to begin. After several years of hard work, Sun Qianchao has finally raised his salary by one level, and he is already a handsome boy of 44.5 yuan.
Because my salary has been increased, when I push my bicycle to go out after get off work, my face is full of smiles, which can alleviate some of my sadness.
"Hey catch up, why are you so happy today?" Zhao Yuanchao came up from behind and asked deliberately.
When Sun Qianchao heard this, he rolled his eyes at him, and the joy of the salary increase was gone. The two of them got along well in the past two years, and they often joked together. Naturally, they knew why the boy asked this.
"The salary has been increased~" This sentence means a bit of helplessness.
Because you didn't tell him, this bastard had to find a way to bring it up. He blamed himself when he said it. He thought he was ridiculed a lot because of the change of job. It can be regarded as a turn of events.
This is what Zhao Yuanchao was waiting for here. He was secretly happy in his heart. On the surface, he actually said with a look of disdain: "Tsk, what's the point? I was Level 2 a year ago~"
"Go away, how can I compare with you? I want to have a deputy director. Now I am at least the deputy section chief~"
This boy was lucky. His father, Zhao, had been promoted to deputy factory director a year ago. As a sign of goodwill, section chief Qian Sheng directly gave him a one-level salary increase.
"Hahaha, there's nothing I can do. Sometimes I worry, why did my dad get promoted~" Zhao Yuanchao said in a pretentious manner.
In the year since he got his salary increase, he has often mentioned this matter in front of his friends. Who knew that this bad friend always laughed at him for taking half a year to become a full-time employee, but now he can be considered a revenger.
"You kid, wait, don't let me catch the opportunity, or I will kill you severely~" Sun Qianchao said viciously.
"Hahaha~" Zhao Yuanchao covered his mouth and laughed for a while.
After laughing enough, he said: "I won't make trouble with you anymore. Do you have anything to do today? It's on the hour tonight. Anyway, there will be nothing to do tomorrow and weekend. How about I treat you? It's a salary increase for you, a bastard, to celebrate~"
Here Sun Qianchao felt a little emotional when he heard this, because after Comrade Xiao Zhao became a driver, the good baby who cried secretly had long disappeared, and now he is proficient in smoking and drinking.
They are a veteran in the transportation department, but now they have the same odor, and they always drink together when they have nothing to do.
So in the past, Sun Qianchao would have agreed, but today he had something to do, so he could only refuse and said, "Maybe another day. My sister and my brother-in-law are coming back for dinner, so we have to go back early~"
"Besides, you're a little noob. It's pointless to drink with you. You won't be able to do it until you're halfway through drinking. It makes me feel so uncomfortable~"
Zhao Yuanchao was a typical person with a strong food addiction. He curled his lips and said very arrogantly:
"Tch, we both haven't drank for almost half a month. During this time, I have been practicing in seclusion, and my drinking capacity has been increasing. You are definitely no match for me~"
While chatting, they had already arrived at the door. Sun Ganchao said with a smile: "Wait for tomorrow. I will come find you in the afternoon. I have to let you call me dad~"
Because it was winter now, Sun Jiachao rode very slowly on the way back, not as fast as in summer.
While riding, I recalled what happened in the past two years. After my sister Sun Xiaoli got married, her life was pretty good. After all, she married someone who liked her.
Wu Pingfan was very obedient to his wife. He had already arranged his work and other things. He worked as an accountant in an arts and crafts factory affiliated to the district. It was natural for him to go where he wanted, because the district was Lao Wu's territory.
Just when he was about to go to work, he unexpectedly found out that he was pregnant, and work could only be put on hold temporarily. In early 1971, he gave birth to a fat boy. Wu Guoqiang gave his grandson a very contemporary name, Wu Aiguo.
Regarding this name, when Sun Qianchao found out later, he couldn't complain about it, because let's put it this way.
If you shout "patriotic" on the street, at least three out of ten people will turn around, and the rest will either be "Jiangjun" or "Jianguo", or else it will be "National Day".
Sun Xiaoli only took care of her for a few months. In the end, she couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to go to work. However, children were a problem. Normally, grandparents in the Northeast would help.
But although Mother Wu liked her eldest grandson very much and wished she could hold him in her arms whenever she had time, she was busy with work and was basically powerless.
Therefore, the important task of helping to look after the children can only fall on the grandma, who is a grandma. She is very happy to do so. She does not have a grandson for the time being, but her grandson can have a good time.
I have been living in this area for two years. Except for taking the child back on weekends and having meals with his grandparents, I spent the rest of the time at Sun's house.
Originally, Wu Pingfan felt a little sorry and wanted to pay 10 yuan a month as a filial piety to the elderly, but his grandma did not agree. She took care of her grandson voluntarily. If she took money, she would be like a nanny.
Of course, there is still no shortage of money for the foundation of Qinggao, because apart from a few symbolic dollars per month in Sun Qianchao's salary, the rest is given to his mother. Anyway, he has other income, so he might as well make the old lady happy. .
In addition, Sun Guofu, a fifth-level worker, earns 63 yuan per month. This means that the family's monthly income of more than 100 yuan is not low. After all, pork now only costs 56 cents per pound.
Although it may not be a big deal in Jichun City, in the three-acre area of Guangzi Pian, the old Sun family can be said to be living the best life, and now only the old Zhou family can keep pace with it.
After all, Zhou Zhigang is an eighth-level worker, and his own salary alone is more than 100 yuan. Plus Zhou Bingkun's salary, Zhou Bingyi also gets salary from the Corps.
As for Sun Qianchao, it is naturally impossible to live on this dead salary every month. When leaving the car, I picked up some passers-by. These are all small heads, and the big heads still use the space to resell supplies.
In the past two years, because of my cautious personality, I only made small troubles and did not make big changes. Therefore, except for one real danger, I was quite stable at other times.
Here, Sun Qianchao finally arrived home. He was very frightened while riding, for fear of falling.
I locked my bicycle outside the door, took off the pork head I bought at the supply and marketing cooperative from the handlebar, and walked into the house, putting my hand to my mouth and breathing.
Cycling in this winter is so tough. It doesn’t matter how thick your handbags are, you will still be freezing.
So he quickened his pace. He was still very energetic today, but as soon as he opened the door, his little nephew wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket hugged his thigh: "Chirp, chirp~"
Sun Qianchao also liked this boy very much and hugged him directly: "Oh, fat boy, why are you fat again? Has grandma given you meat again?"
"I haven't eaten meat, wait for the tweet, hurry up, numb~" The little fat man was still young after all, so his words were somewhat unclear, and his face looked eager.
However, Sun Qianchao understood it clearly, which meant that the meal was ready and was waiting for him. He told him to hurry up or else his mother would eat up all the meat.
At this time, my grandma, who was busy working in the outer house, heard her grandson's words and said with a smile:
"I don't know what's going on with this kid lately. He just likes to say two words or two, which can make people sad~"
Sun Qianchao handed over what he was carrying: "Mom, that's the pig head meat I bought. You can help me cut it~"
"You're spending money indiscriminately again. Why did you buy this thing? It's not affordable at all~" Grandmother took the meat and put it on the cutting board, complaining out of habit.
"Mom, this is what I want. It doesn't cost much, your son can earn it~" Sun Ganchao was used to his mother's complaints, so after saying that, he carried his nephew directly into the house.
Sun Xiaoli, who was sitting at the table here, saw her younger brother coming in with her son in her arms and said, "As soon as I saw the stone running away, I knew it was you who was back~"
"This kid is closer to you than to me~" Wu Pingfan pretended to be jealous.
Sun Qianchao smiled when he heard this: "Hahaha, it's necessary. Can you compare with me? Shitou and I are old friends. We sleep together every night~"
At this time, Sun's mother came in and put the cut pork head on the table: "Give me the child, and you eat quickly."
"It gets dark early in the winter, so finish your meal early so that your sister and the others can leave early. It's not safe to ride a bicycle with children in the dark. The roads are extremely slippery~"
"Go ahead and let grandma feed you~" After saying that, regardless of the fat boy's objections, he put it directly on the ground.
Sun Qianchao really likes his nephew. He would like to hold it in his hands. Every time he comes back from the car, he will bring him snacks from various places. However, he rarely gets used to it and won't let him do whatever he wants. .
"Brother-in-law, I heard that you have been transferred to the first branch factory as the workshop director. This is equivalent to the deputy department level. Is it far from the main tractor factory? Do you need to move or something?"
Regarding this kind of thing, Sun Qianchao was speechless. Zhao Jianguo's father became the deputy factory director and directly raised his salary by one level.
Brother-in-law's father Wu Guoqiang has now been promoted to the top of the Gongle District, and he has directly become the deputy director of the workshop. Not to mention Cai Xiaoguang, he is also the deputy director of the main factory office, which is a full-time department level.
Wu Pingfan has also lost some weight in the past few years, and because he got married and had children, he has become very mature and stable now.
He simply explained: "About that, our branch secretary and factory director are at the deputy director level.
"There's no need to move. It's said to be a branch factory but the address is actually the same, right next door. It's just that the products they produce are slightly different!"
"Originally, there were no branch factories at all, but a new factory director was recently appointed. He had to carry out drastic reforms and break down the work."
"For example, the second branch factory where I am currently mainly produces engines, the second branch factory produces tires, and the third branch factory..."
After sending his sister's family away, Sun Qianchao drank a little wine, washed his feet and lay down on the kang. Even though he was laughing and joking during the day, he was also worried about something in his heart.
I closed my eyes and thought about it. In the past two years, my work has not been as smooth as it was at the beginning. I wonder if it is because it is easy to use light.
Last year, when he was not assigned a house, Sun Qianchao had to endure it. After all, he had been working here for a long time and was not married yet. He thought that his master had also waited seven or eight years to get a house.
But the captain who was originally holding the reins did not become the captain in the end, which was a bit unbalanced. The master was the section chief and the master was the deputy section chief. Originally, everything was already in the bag, and the only thing left was to announce the appointment.
Who would have thought that the superiors would suddenly assign a demobilized cadre, who was previously at the deputy battalion level, so we had no choice but to make him the captain, not just an ordinary driver~"
But now Sun Qianchao is a little bit confused. After all, he has been acting as an agent for several months, and he usually considers himself the captain of the team. It is very embarrassing for him not to be the captain this time.
It is inevitable that you will be squeezed out at work. Nowadays, you don't have to do it for short distances. You are almost responsible for long distances.
Of course, this is human nature. After all, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. He still has some prestige in the team. The new captain will definitely have to scare the monkeys when he takes office.
Unfortunately, I became that chicken. Those happy days are gone forever. Unlike before, when my master Liu Ming was also the captain, and then later when I became the acting captain, I could almost choose the route at will, wherever I wanted to go.
"Oh~" Sun Qianchao sighed. The county magistrate is not as good as the county magistrate. The captain is the direct leader, and it is not easy for his master and master to interfere.
I feel very unhappy when I think about this. They are all reborns. Why is it that the person next door has everything going smoothly? They are assigned rooms as soon as they enter the workplace, and they are promoted after only two years of working.
Why is it that every step of the way has been bumpy for me, not to mention the house, etc., it is just like playing when people are promoted to section chief, and it is quite difficult for me to become a bad captain.
With such a sad and angry mood, Sun Qianchao felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and fell into sleep unconsciously...
On Monday morning, even though I really didn’t want to go, I still had to buck up and go to work.
After all, things are different from the past. In the past, arriving late was not a big problem. Now, let’s not take the initiative to send our pigtails up for people to catch.
After arriving at the unit, he punched in because the new captain, Jiang Feng, was a political cadre in the army and a deputy instructor of a certain automobile battalion before he changed his job. As soon as he took office, he was required to study politics every morning.
Because of the special circumstances of the times, section chief Qian Sheng could not object to this matter and could only accept it. So a team of more than a dozen drivers had to listen to his long speech for at least half an hour every morning.
Sun Ganchao heard that he was drowsy, but he didn't dare to sleep yet, so he could only cheer up because he fell asleep during political studies. Have a drink yourself.
After finishing studying, Sun Qianchao looked like he was at school and after class. His originally listless expression instantly became full of energy.
I had no tasks in the morning, so I came to my master Liu Ming’s office. As soon as I entered, I started to complain:
"Master, how can you and Master handle this? I don't understand how you can handle the one-third-acre land of the Transportation Department. You have been acting as captain for several months, and now suddenly one is parachuted in. How can I be treated? Yeah~"
When Liu Ming heard this, he immediately lost his temper. He picked up a book on the table, threw it towards his apprentice, and cursed angrily:
"Get out of here, how many times have I told you, you are a good person at work, who is your master?"
"And if you really can't wait for me, then resign. You write the report and I will approve the note. It's hard to find a three-legged toad, but there are many people with two legs who want to fuck the driver!"
"Every day I talk, I have no one to talk to. Jiang Feng came to be the captain. That is an organizational decision. You can only obey unconditionally. Is it your turn to make irresponsible remarks?"
"Master, I understand, haven't I complained to you before? I really can't agree to it. My waist can't stand it when I run long distances every day~"
Sun Qianchao also knew that what he just said was wrong, and he had to be careful in his words and deeds in this era.
When Liu Ming heard what his apprentice said, the expression on his face softened a little, and his tone of voice was no longer so stiff: "Originally, the section chief has already reported your appointment as captain to the factory. It can be said to be a certainty!"
"But who would have thought that a demobilized cadre would suddenly come here at this time, and he was from the automobile camp. We can't let him leave the workshop."
"Furthermore, our newly appointed Secretary Qu is an old revolutionary and has a special attachment to soldiers. Finally, after careful study in the factory, we had no choice but to come to the Transportation Department~"
"What a damn coincidence, what a bad luck~" Sun Ganchao sighed.
Then he took out a cigarette, handed it to the master first, put one in his mouth, lit it and started smoking with a frown on his face.
Liu Ming felt a little distressed when he saw his apprentice's appearance, because the relationship had been going well in the past two years, and he remembered that his wife had insufficient milk after giving birth.
My daughter has grown so big thanks to this boy who delivers milk powder every week. If anything happens at home, his apprentice will definitely be the first to help.
"The section chief and I have already considered this matter of yours. If you don't come here this afternoon, I would also like to see you. Xiao Wang, our dispatcher in the department, will be transferred to the factory office soon~"
"So don't cause trouble for me during this period, and just calm down for a while. You can do whatever he asks you to do. Not to mention running long distances, even if you are asked to poop, you have to poop for me~"
"Dispatcher?" Sun Qunchao was a little surprised.
Because at this time, the factory is divided into workers and cadres. The driver like myself is a worker, and the team leader is a cadre.
The dispatcher who is also responsible for scheduling shifts every day is also a cadre, and he does not have to leave his car. He sits in an office every day, protected from wind and rain.
Then he thought of something again and said with a bitter look on his face: "Master, this dispatcher can't have any more accidents. Zhao Yuanchao's father is the deputy director of the factory. Can I compete with him~"
Sun Qianchao now has a psychological shadow, and these second-generation people can't deal with it even if they are reborn.
Liu Ming naturally understood what his apprentice meant. He took a puff of cigarette first and then explained:
"Don't worry, Zhao Yuanchao will be transferred immediately to drive the little Jeep in our factory~"
"Oh, that's no problem~" Sun Qianchao breathed a sigh of relief, now he should be confident.
