"It's easy to say. Our family is not a local resident of Qinjia Village. It was a time of war and chaos. I remember that we settled in Qinjia Village in 1947. You were only 4 years old at that time, but you are taller than the 7-year-old in the village. My child is still tall, and I don’t know how you grew.”
"I remember it was a full meter and 20 centimeters. Later, your father found a lot of milk powder and milk. Unfortunately, he left after getting these things and never came back again." At this point, Yao Erniang was a little sad. Maybe he was remembering what his father said before he left.
"If you don't talk about him, you will drink milk every day. You should have an impression of this, right?"
Su Xiaoqiang nodded and said, "Yes, I did drink a lot of milk powder and milk before I was 9 years old."
"Yes, after he finished eating the milk powder he brought back, someone would send it over. Later, I thought it was really unnecessary, so I stopped letting them continue to send it. When you were 9 years old, you were 150 centimeters taller than the 15-year-old in the village. The boy has grown taller and stronger!" Yao Erniang couldn't help but feel proud when she mentioned this.
"Now that our family has good food again, I think you will be 1.8 meters tall in a few years!"
"Then, mom, please don't interrupt and continue." Su Xiaoqiang asked anxiously.
"Then it's very simple. I registered my household registration for the first time at 53 in the countryside. People didn't believe you were 9 years old. They said you were at least 12 years old. I thought it didn't matter. If you fill in your age a little older, others won't dare to bully you. .”
"So your date of birth is set in 1941 in your household registration. As of today, you are already 19 years old, but in your mother's heart, you will always be 18, uh... 16."
"I see, this is really casual." Su Xiaoqiang complained.
"Huh, you're doing pretty well. Some people don't have household registration yet, so what can they do? They're still living well." Yao Erniang said with a nonchalant smile.
"Yes, I was wrong."
Su Xiaoqiang is actually a little secretly happy. Age is actually a major constraint on development. People are unwilling to give you too high a position if you are too young. Even if you are a 19-year-old deputy director, even though he is only a low-level deputy director of the cafeteria, then His eyes have also been opened, and Su Xiaoqiang may not be able to make any progress in a short time.
"Okay, let's have dinner after we finish talking. Xiaojun, you can stay and eat too."
"No, Master, I'll go home for dinner." Lin Hongjun didn't dare to stay for long, so he ran away after saying this. He had already taken advantage of Master, and if he stayed for dinner, his mother would spank him.
Sure enough, Lin Hongjun, who returned home, told her what had just happened. Lin Fangshi said directly: "You go wherever your master goes. You do whatever your master tells you to do. If you don't obey, you are not my son."
Now Lin Fangshi has received her first month's salary as a street sweeper. Tongluogu Alley is indeed very tiring. Maybe it's because there are so many streetwalkers who like to throw things away, but for Lin Fangshi, you just throw it away, and you throw too much. You need me as a sweeper, otherwise you won’t hire me.
With the first month's 18 yuan, she, who had been extremely nervous for survival these years, breathed a sigh of relief. She could raise her two children in the future, and she felt extremely grateful to Su Xiaoqiang.
"Are Hongyi tired today?" Lin Hongjun looked at his sister who had started to gain weight and asked with concern. He would ask every day as long as he came back.
However, Lin Hongyi is very sensible and is indeed not tired. She just helps pick up garbage sometimes.
"I'm not tired. It's so fun to go shopping outside~" Lin Hongyi was led by Lin Fangshi to work on the street, and she became increasingly cheerful.
…
On this day, Su Xiaoqiang took the basic instructions he had finally translated and bought four bottles of Maotai on the way, and rode to the steel rolling mill.
According to time, it would be picked up tomorrow, so Su Xiaoqiang sent it over a day in advance and talked about work after the new year.
"Chef Su!"
"Oh? Do you know me?" Su Xiaoqiang originally thought that it would take a lot of effort to get in, but he didn't expect that someone in the security department actually knew him.
"We were so impressed by your style last time. Are you here to see Deputy Director Li? I'll show you the way." One of them, probably the squad leader, pulled him away enthusiastically.
Su Xiaoqiang was a little embarrassed. The last time he was in style was not during the fight. He didn't expect to still remember it after so long.
"Chef Su, why are you here? I'll go and talk to Deputy Director Li first." As soon as they arrived at the office downstairs, Assistant Zhou of Deputy Director Li happened to meet him. Then he saw what was in Su Xiaoqiang's pocket and understood immediately. .
"Brother Su, I'm leaving first. If you need anything in the future, come to me. Don't be polite." Captain Shen of the security department left after seeing this. Just now, Su Xiaoqiang was passing cigarettes in various ways, and we got to know each other a lot. Fortunately, these veterans were all He likes to associate with strong people, and with Su Xiaoqiang's enthusiasm, he wants to reveal everything in the factory.
"Deputy Director Su, please come in." Assistant Zhou did not expect that Su Xiaoqiang would have such a good fortune. He has worked in the steel rolling mill for so many years and has never seen such a young official. Fortunately, he is only a deputy department, lower than himself. First level, when you think about it, it seems that the title is just a nice one.
"Thank you."
Pushing the door open, I saw the old fox again.
"Director Li, long time no see. I came to pay homage to the dock today."
Su Xiaoqiang was still very familiar with him. After all, he cooked for him a lot, and he was promoted by Li Neng. After that, when he entered the steel rolling mill, he was naturally the person of deputy director Li, so Su Xiaoqiang first came to the steel rolling mill. There is no way to find him. Even if you go to Director Yang to seek refuge, the other party will not trust or value you.
"Hahaha, Chef Su, no, from now on, Director Su, we will be comrades in the same trench." Deputy Director Li was very enthusiastic. Seeing Su Xiaoqiang put the two bottles of wine in the corner, he didn't say anything. Accepted by default.
Su Xiaoqiang was now completely sure that he would work here after the year, and he immediately expressed his position: "Li Neng and I are brothers, and you are also my elder. If Director Li needs help in the future, you can just say a word." , I will definitely do it beautifully."
Deputy Director Li's eyes lit up, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
The two of them exchanged some polite words, and Su Xiaoqiang asked: "Then I also want to thank Director Yang?"
"You should go. He is the director of the factory after all. Be careful with what you say. By the way, sending these translated things over will give you a reason."
Deputy Director Li felt even more comfortable when he heard this. He had only been the deputy director for a short time, so he was in charge of logistics. Although the canteen was under his own jurisdiction, Silly Zhu was Director Yang's employee. There really aren’t many people on hand right now.
Su Xiaoqiang made it clear that he wanted to be with him, so he tried his best to win over him, but he couldn't think of how to bribe him at the moment. Fortunately, he would only be transferred next year, so he could think about it slowly.
Su Xiaoqiang left the office, his smile disappeared instantly, and then he walked to the door of Director Yang, patted his face, and then turned into a sincere smile again. It was so tiring, but there was nothing I could do.
Waiting for the response from inside, Su Xiaoqiang
"Director Yang, hello, I'm here to deliver information."
"It's Chef Su who's here. I was just thinking about chatting with you sometime." Director Yang also felt the pressure. Li Huaide was too aggressive. If the canteen was completely left to him in the future, what would he think in the future? Whatever you want to eat depends on his face.
