Happy times are always short-lived, and the three-day holiday is fleeting. After the steel rolling mill restarted, everything returned to the previous working state. The procurement task of the third department of procurement became more difficult. There was only one rain this winter. A light snowfall and drought have affected the upcoming spring plowing. This year's procurement task will be more difficult to complete. The buyer from the third procurement department left Sijiu City on his bicycle with a sigh.
Before the Lantern Festival, the Subdistrict Office finally completed the selection of outstanding courtyard houses, and Siheyuan No. 95 was selected. A clerk named Li from the Subdistrict Office sent a banner and some small gifts to the courtyard.
After get off work that afternoon, a hospital-wide meeting was held in the courtyard. The three uncles spoke in sequence starting with the second uncle. After the meeting, Yi Zhonghai came to the backyard to find Su Wen.
"Xiao Su, Jia Dongxu from Zhongyuan is my apprentice. You have been in the compound for two months. You should also know about the situation in his family. There are five people in the family, three adults and two children. Only Dongxu has a ration. .”
"Sir, I have replaced fine grains with coarse grains, and I have a little surplus at most. I still have to help my parents in the countryside. I can't help the Dongxu family's difficulties." As soon as Yi Zhonghai opened his mouth, Su Wen knew that he was not well-intentioned. , directly turn on the poor crying mode.
"Xiao Su, you misunderstood me. Last time you said that there are parents in the countryside who need to help. I have always remembered it. What I mean is that you work in the purchasing department. I will pay for it, can you help Dongxu's family buy it? Bring back some food?"
"Master, I really can't help you. Ever since I joined the steel rolling mill, I haven't been able to buy a grain of grain from the countryside. The famine in the countryside is much more serious than in the city. They occasionally get some game meat and sell it to us. All the members asked me to exchange cornmeal with them, and it’s hard to get food from the countryside now.”
"As a buyer, don't you have any channels of your own?" Yi Zhonghai was not ready to let Su Wen go.
"Master, I was just an ordinary hunter. I saved the people in the steel rolling mill and was assigned to work in the steel rolling mill. I don't have any channels of my own. Master Yi, you are the master of the steel rolling mill. You can go and purchase it." Ask the old people in the department, they should be able to find a way to pay a high price."
After listening to Su Wen's words, Yi Zhonghai knew that Su Wen would not help, so he had to give up. He sighed and said, "That's all, I won't embarrass you, but the Dongxu family is really in trouble, so please help if you can."
Su Wen nodded quickly, "Uncle, I know who you are, and I also understand the situation of Dongxu's family. I will definitely help if I have the ability, but there is really nothing I can do."
Yi Zhonghai nodded and said, "Okay, then you can get busy first." After saying that, he turned and left the backyard.
Su Wen looked at Yi Zhonghai's leaving figure, shook his head and turned to go home. He had to send Wang Qianqian home tomorrow and had to rest early today.
After Yi Zhonghai left the backyard, he stood at the hanging flower gate and hesitated for a while. In the end, he did not go to Sha Zhu's house. He still set his sights on Sha Zhu, but Sha Zhu had already married a wife. He planned to go to the steel rolling mill to be alone with Sha Zhu again. explain.
After Yu Li married Sha Zhu, her living standard was much better than that in Lao Yu's family, and her figure became plumper. Yu Li is a very independent woman, and Sha Zhu was controlled by her, and He Yuyu was also very satisfied. This sister-in-law, who had never seen her mother since she was a child, felt cared for by her sister-in-law, and someone could talk to her about some private things about the girl's family.
During lunch the next day, Yi Zhonghai found Silly Zhu.
"Zhuzi, you also know about your brother Dongxu's situation. Can you bring some leftovers from the canteen to help your brother Dongxu?"
"Master, where can I find leftovers in the cafeteria now? How can I find leftovers if I don't have enough to eat?"
"Sinzhu, come here for a moment. I will give you some instructions this afternoon." The canteen director's voice came over.
"The director called me, so I'll go over first. We'll talk about brother Dongxu's matters later."
The land in the space has been divided into three areas by Su Wen using bamboo dug from the moat. One area is used to raise chickens, one area is used to raise pigs, and the last area is planted. Su Wen spent ten luck points and planted fifteen trees in the planting area. acres of corn, Su Wen still has more than four acres of land left to plant sweet potatoes. In ten days, he has finished the field ridges, and is waiting for the sweet potato seedlings cultivated in the field to grow bigger before cutting them out and planting them in the ground. . Su Wen also caught some fish from the pond. They were all quite thin, probably because no one was feeding them. Su Wen took them to the steel rolling mill to complete tasks.
In the morning, Su Wen sent Wang Qianqian back to her hometown.
The notice board under the office building of the steel rolling mill was crowded with people. The list of outstanding employees last year was posted today, as well as the promotions and appointments of several personnel. Su Wen's name was clearly on the list, working on behalf of work, deputy director of the third department of procurement. long. Xu Damao was the first resident in the courtyard to discover Su Wen's name. When he didn't have to go to the countryside to play movies, Xu Damao was very free at the steel rolling mill. He ran to the purchasing department to find Su Wen and found out that Su Wen did not come to the steel rolling mill today. Xu Damao was very anxious. He couldn't wait to know how Su Wen was promoted. He was not willing to remain an ordinary movie projectionist. Originally, he thought that as long as he married the eldest daughter of the Lou family, he would be able to rise to prominence in the steel rolling mill, but the reality was beyond his expectation. Except that every leader became more polite to him, there were no other changes.
After the workers all got off work at noon, the notice board was even more crowded. The second uncle relied on his strong body to fight his way through the crowd and squeezed to the front. He didn't care who was an outstanding employee. He had already He had taken it many times, and he also discovered Su Wen's name, deputy section chief of the Procurement Section on a work-for-service basis. Su Wen had been living in the courtyard for two months. Everyone knew that Su Wen was recruited into the steel rolling industry because he saved Liu Dashan. Factory. The second uncle planned to cook two dishes in the evening and invite Su Wen to his house for a chat. It would be best to get to know Liu Dashan through Su Wen and let him improve himself.
In the afternoon, the list of outstanding employees and the notice of appointment and dismissal of cadres were played several times in the broadcast room of the Publicity Department of the steel rolling mill.
After get off work in the evening, the second uncle specially asked the second aunt to cook some more vegetables. He sat at the door and waited for Su Wen to come back from get off work. When Xu Damao came back, smelling the aroma of the second uncle's food, Xu Damao immediately guessed the second uncle's plan. .
"Why does the second uncle have to buy me two drinks tonight?"
"Da Mao, I'll give it another day."
Xu Damao walked up to the second uncle and said, "Second uncle, are you waiting for Su Wen?"
Liu Haizhong's face was a little embarrassed, "Yes, Su Wen has been promoted, isn't he? I want him to help introduce logistics director Liu. I, Liu Haizhong, have worked in the steel rolling mill for so many years, and even outstanding employees have to go through it." Several times, my work ability is not bad in all aspects, but there are some minor flaws in my academic qualifications, but I still have a desire to make progress."
Xu Damao looked at Liu Haizhong's expectant expression and couldn't help curling his lips, thinking to himself: "This Liu Haizhong really knows how to put gold on his face. He also said that his work ability is not bad in all aspects, but his academic qualifications are a bit small. Flaws, I don’t know who gave him the confidence.”
But Xu Damao didn't say it out loud because he didn't want to offend Liu Haizhong. He just said lightly: "Second uncle, Su Wen didn't come to work today. He probably went to the countryside. Even if you wait until evening, you may not be able to wait for him to come back."
Liu Haizhong looked disappointed after hearing Xu Damao's words, but he soon returned to normal. He nodded and said: "Well, I understand. Then wait for another day. Damao, you go in first, I will wait here."
Xu Damao didn't say anything more and turned around and entered his room. He knew that although Liu Haizhong was a bit annoying, he couldn't offend him too much. After all, they all lived in the same courtyard and could not see each other when they looked up or looked down.
