Wang Weidong was instructing the workers to clean the floor in the workshop. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Lou Xiao'e poking her head at the door.
He thought about saving money.
"Chief Zuo, I still have something to do, so I'll leave the workshop to you." Wang Weidong looked at the old man Zuo with a smile, "When the operation officially starts, I invite you and Brother Patriot to go to Donglaishun for a meal."
"Dong Laishun? That's a good relationship!" Old Man Zuo narrowed his eyes and did not refuse.
"Then it's settled!" Wang Weidong had already planned to invite Mr. Zuo. Just take advantage of this opportunity.
Old man Zuo is an old man in the logistics department, and even the director gave him three points.
The logistics department of the steel rolling mill is the real power department, responsible for the supply of workshop materials, payment of workers' wages, and application for welfare benefits and subsidies.
Even the Publicity Department is managed by the Logistics Department.
After chatting for a few words, Wang Weidong quickly left the workshop.
"Are you anxious to wait?" He saw Lou Xiao'e rubbing her calves, as if she had been waiting for a long time.
"Don't worry, you are busy at work, how can I hold you back." Lou Xiao'e smiled happily.
"Let's go save money!"
The two left the rolling mill on bicycles.
Although it is working hours, according to regulations, employees are not allowed to go out.
But when the security officers at the gate saw the two of them, they just pretended not to see them.
The two went straight to the bank on Xizhimen Street.
The outer wall is made of green bricks, the inner wall is whitewashed, the ground is paved with terrazzo, and there is an iron fence in the middle.
As in later generations, I was on this side and the bank clerk was on the other side.
The overall layout is somewhat similar to that of a supply and marketing cooperative, but Wang Weidong observed that there was no slogan on the wall that said "No beating of customers without reason."
Surprised, he looked around.
A "security guard" wearing a khaki uniform was staring at them warily.
Seeing Wang Weidong poking his head, he touched the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle slung on his shoulder.
Under the sunlight, the black muzzle emitted an icy cold light, which reflected in Wang Weidong's eyes.
I bet he has bullets in his gun.
Wang Weidong felt a shiver in his heart, showed a bright smile to the "security guard", and then queued up with Lou Xiao'e honestly.
The girl at the bank is very professional and has very fast hands. She can count the banknotes and "swipe them".
After a while, it was Wang Weidong's turn.
"Comrade, I save money!"
"Comrade, you are here just in time, our bank is holding a savings event with prizes." The girl from the bank did not have the indifference of the supply and marketing cooperative aunt on her face, and introduced with a smile: "Every customer who saves money will be eligible for the lottery. "
lottery?
Wang Weidong's first reaction was, could this be a routine?
In later generations, it was not uncommon for depositors to go to banks to deposit money, and the certificates of deposit turned into insurance policies.
But then I thought that in this day and age, if I did such a stupid thing, I would probably be arrested and paraded through the streets.
I feel relieved.
The little girl at the bank saw Wang Weidong's hesitation and immediately understood that this young man had never deposited money.
Immediately impatient to explain.
Through the little girl's words, Wang Weidong gradually understood.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the people became wealthy. In order to encourage savings, banks introduced certificates of deposit and deposit certificates such as "savings with prizes" and "savings with prizes and stickers".
Savings with prizes mean that depositors can get a number if they deposit 1 yuan.
If you win the jackpot, you can get fifty yuan.
The second prize gets ten yuan, the third prize gets five yuan, and the fourth prize gets one yuan.
After maturity, the principal and interest can be withdrawn regardless of whether you win the lottery or not.
The prize-based decal savings is an upgraded version of the prize-based savings, which is a bit like the lump-sum withdrawal in later generations.
Depositors purchase "flowers" (decal vouchers) every month and affix them to their passbooks.
The denominations of decal vouchers are generally divided into ten yuan, five yuan and one yuan. There is a number printed on it.
After maturity, the principal and interest can be withdrawn with the help of passbook and discount.
On the 1st of every month, the bank will announce the winning numbers in the daily newspaper.
This is much more interesting than the bank deposit certificates of later generations.
Wang Weidong bought Happy Balls countless times in his previous life, winning at most ten yuan.
He decided to try his luck.
"Comrade, save three hundred yuan, the kind of saving with prizes and stickers!" Wang Weidong took the banknote from Lou Xiao'e and handed it behind the iron fence.
"Three hundred yuan?" The little girl from the bank took the roll of banknotes and was a little dazed.
These days, not everyone is rich. Most ordinary savers save one or five yuan.
Otherwise, banks wouldn’t have gone to great lengths to introduce bonus deposits.
However, as a bank employee who has seen countless banknotes, she quickly reacted.
After a dazzling operation and "Bah bang bang!" After a few official seals were stamped, the bankbook was handed out.
"Since you deposited three hundred yuan when you opened the account for the first time, I helped you apply for the entire account."
Whole household? What does it mean?
Wang Weidong looked at the word "whole household" printed in black on the passbook and was a little confused.
He turned his head and looked at Lou Xiao'e. Lou Xiao'e shook her head blankly. She had never saved money.
Lou Bancheng's family property is all gold, silver and jewelry.
"Ahem, ahem, comrade, what does this whole household mean?" There will be many opportunities for deposits in the future, and Wang Weidong decided to find out.
"According to bank regulations, passbooks are divided into three types: whole account, half account, and quarter account. This is related to the amount of money you save. Depositors of the whole account will have a dedicated manager to receive them when handling business ." The bank girl was very enthusiastic.
Uh, isn't this a VIP customer? !
understood!
After Wang Weidong thanked the little girl, he took Lou Xiaoe out of the bank.
He handed the passbook to Lou Xiao'e.
"Take it, housekeeper."
"Housekeeper?"
Lou Xiao'e was stunned for a moment, then woke up, pursed her lips and smiled happily.
Housekeeper, this word sounds really nice.
Wang Weidong was about to ride his bicycle back to the steel rolling mill, but was stopped by Lou Xiao'e.
"Brother Wei Dong, you will also be a cadre in the future. It seems inappropriate to wear work clothes and uniforms again."
Wang Weidong looked down at the blue and black uniform on his body.
Although it was quite clean, it had been washed and turned white, and there were still a few holes in the corners of the clothes.
It should be replaced.
But...the money has been saved.
Wang Weidong was thinking about taking out the banknotes issued by the system from the ring warehouse, but he was pulled into a small corner by Lou Xiao'e.
"Brother Wei Dong, I have money."
As Lou Xiao'e said this, she took out a roll of banknotes from the lining of her cotton-padded jacket and handed it over.
Wang Weidong took the banknotes that were still warm and counted them carefully.
More than fifty yuan.
"This is my private money. You have saved all your money. We are a family, so naturally I have to use my money." Lou Xiao'e's dark eyes reflected the brilliance of the sun.
"Okay, I agree!"
Wang Weidong had a bad appetite recently and couldn't eat hard food, so he put the money in his trouser pocket without saying a word.
This move made Lou Xiaoe unstoppable.
She was still waiting for Wang Weidong to praise her.
Even if it’s just a sentence, Mozhu, you are really capable, that’s fine!
Well, maybe that's it for Big Boss.
Lou Xiao'e comforted herself and quickly calmed down.
The two rode bicycles and came to the clothing store.
Wang Weidong chose a woolen tunic suit, draped it diagonally on his body, took out a cigarette from his arms and held it in his mouth.
He pinched his throat and said: "Cough, cough, don't use bean bags as dry food!"
Hey, it really tastes like that.
From now on, I will also have four pockets!
Lou Xiao'e next to her was stunned.
A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. After Wang Weidong put on his Chinese tunic suit, he vaguely revealed an inexplicable power.
This kind of power makes people involuntarily admire it. It is not even seen in Lou Bancheng. Lou Xiaoe has only seen it in a big leader.
What a blessing to be married to such a man who does great things~
...
The ordinary day passed like this.
The courtyard is still the same as before. No matter how noisy the residents are, it still stands in the cold wind.
Entering the courtyard, Wang Weidong happened to meet Xu Damao walking in from the outside with his head hanging down.
When Xu Damao saw Lou Xiao'e holding Wang Weidong's arm, his expression suddenly dimmed, and he immediately pushed the door into the house and hid.
Hey, is this kid sick? Why are the dark circles under his eyes so serious?
Wang Weidong frowned.
Seeing Xu Damao, he remembered the tiger charm.
However, Tiger Talisman has disappeared from this world.
What tricks can Xu Damao come up with?
Really looking forward to it.
In the evening, it is inevitable to communicate with Lou Xiaoe on a daily basis.
Before falling into sleep, Wang Weidong realized that he had not signed in today.
"Ding, if you sign in successfully, you will be rewarded with five kilograms of white flour and two kilograms of refined meat."
Listening to the system's prompt tone, Wang Weidong couldn't help but curl his lips.
This dog system is becoming more and more stingy, and it doesn’t even give money.
Go to sleep.
zzzz,zzzz
...
When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I do is sign in.
Sign in every day and good luck will come throughout the day.
"Ding, if you sign in successfully, you will be rewarded with five kilograms of white flour and two kilograms of refined meat."
Wang Weidong: ....
After brushing his teeth and eating breakfast, Wang Weidong rode his bicycle and took Lou Xiaoe to the steel rolling mill.
This is half an hour earlier than his usual work time.
Today was the day for temporary workers to report, and he had to prepare in advance.
Lou Xiao'e is now his assistant, so naturally he has to follow.
It was only when Wang Weidong came to Workshop 11 that he realized that he had underestimated everyone's enthusiasm for this job.
The queue stretched from the workshop door to the factory gate.
These people shrank their heads in the cold wind, their faces full of anxiety, but their eyes revealed hope.
Although the clothes they wore were clean, they were full of small patches on top of large patches.
Seeing Uncle Qin hiding in the duty room, Wang Weidong knew that it was probably because the notice from above had not come down.
He walked forward and knocked on the glass window. Uncle Qin opened the window.
Wang Weidong took out the communication card sample from his pocket, handed it to Uncle Qin, and said: "Uncle Qin, I forgot to inform you that the temporary union of the new workshop came to the factory to report today. This is the pass template, and there is another one. This is a list, please let me go according to the names on this list, both must match!"
After hearing Wang Weidong's words, Uncle Qin quickly came out of the duty room.
"Don't worry, Director Wang. I, Lao Qin, am an old man in the factory. I will definitely handle it for you properly."
Then he shouted to those who came to register behind Wang Weidong: "Everyone has lined up for me! Anyone who dares to jump in line will not be able to get in!"
In fact, Uncle Qin's shout was completely unnecessary.
Those who came to report were all low-income households and cherished this hard-won job.
No one needed to shout, they just started to maintain order consciously.
After taking down Uncle Qin, Wang Weidong shouted to the team behind him: "Who is Zhao Jiefang? Come out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a burly middle-aged man stood up.
"Report, I am Zhao Jiefang!"
Looking at Zhao Jiefang, who held his head high and saluted to him, Wang Weidong couldn't help but smile.
After he learned about Zhao Jiefang's situation, he admired this kind-hearted man.
In addition, both of them are veterans, so they immediately felt much closer.
"Brother Zhao, I'm Wang Weidong. Come in with me first. Have you brought your pass?"
Zhao Jiefang nodded hurriedly and said: "Bring it, bring it!"
"Okay, show it to Uncle Qin and let's go in first."
"good!"
Zhao Jiefang didn't hesitate and stepped forward to hand the certificate to Uncle Qin.
After careful verification, Uncle Qin put a check mark on the list and released Zhao Jiefang.
Others watched Zhao Jiefang follow Wang Weidong into the factory, and no one came out to shout or make trouble.
When they saw Wang Weidong wearing a woolen tunic suit, they knew that he was the person in charge of the new workshop, their leader, and the benefactor who gave them work.
When Director Wang went to inform these people, he did not hide anything and directly told them that this poverty alleviation project was proposed by Wang Weidong.
In this case, they are naturally grateful.
After bringing Zhao Jiefang to the workshop, Wang Weidong gave him a brand new navy blue work uniform.
This was what he had applied to Factory Director Yang before. Even if he is a temporary worker, he must have work clothes.
And if this project is done well, there is no chance of becoming a regular employee.
"Brother Zhao, Director Wang told me about your situation. You are familiar with those people outside, so I would like to ask you to help verify the identities of these people at the door." Wang Weidong said.
After what happened the night before, Wang Weidong was already on guard.
Never underestimate the limits of certain people. People with evil intentions may do some stupid things.
After all, the residents here are basically employees of the steel rolling mill.
It is not easy to bring in family members who work in the steel rolling mill.
"Okay!" Zhao Jiefang nodded and said with a simple smile: "Leader, just call me Lao Zhao or Jiefang."
Wang Weidong patted Zhao Jiefang on the shoulder and said, "Okay, you can do something about this. Workers who pass the verification will ask Assistant Lou to get their work clothes."
"Okay, I understand."
After that, Wang Weidong walked out again. The master he asked Factory Director Yang to hire should have arrived by now, and he had to pick him up.
Before he reached the door, Wang Weidong saw the factory director's secretary leading a middle-aged woman over.
After seeing Wang Weidong, the factory director's secretary smiled and hurried forward.
"Comrade Weidong, let me introduce to you. This is the master that Director Yang hired for you from the textile factory, Yu Qiuhua, Master Yu."
When Wang Weidong heard this, he first thanked the factory director's secretary, and then said to Qiu Hua: "Master Yu, I'm sorry to trouble you this time."
Yu Qiuhua squinted her eyes and waved her hand: "No, no, this is what I should do."
Wang Weidong felt a little strange. Why did the master squint his eyes in broad daylight?
But he didn't have the nerve to ask, but wanted to ask if Yu Qiuhua knew He Yuyu.
In the past two days, He Yuyu seemed to have entered the textile factory through his connections with the police.
After the greetings, the factory director’s secretary pulled Wang Weidong aside and said: “Comrade Weidong, the factory director asked me to tell you that Master Yu’s family situation is not very good. His husband passed away early, and he has four children by himself. My daughter is in high school this year and has a heavy burden, and her eyes are sick, so the factory director hopes you can help her."
A master sewing master with a weak eye still works part-time...
Wang Weidong smiled bitterly after hearing this. The new workshop has really become a poverty alleviation base.
There are too many people like Zhao Jiefang and Yu Qiuhua in this era.
Although there were some suspicions of malpractice for personal gain, he gave Factory Director Yang this face.
If Yu Qiuhua's skills meet the requirements, it doesn't hurt to give her a spot.
Anyway, the master master mainly teaches the temporary workers how to sew bags, without having to do it himself.
If you can help someone, please do it!
"Okay, then you have to go find Director Wang of the subdistrict office and get her a pass."
"This is on me!"
Wang Weidong nodded, said goodbye to the factory director's secretary, and took Yu Qiuhua to the workshop.
Not long after walking, Wang Weidong suddenly heard a noise coming from the front.
Looking up, he saw a group of people blocking the door of the workshop.
My heart trembled, something happened?
