Back at the steel rolling mill, Wang Weidong went to the infirmary to report to Ding Qiunan as usual. After working hard for a while, he moved to the canteen and the kitchen.
Nan Yi was instructing the people in the cafeteria class to clean up. Coming from a wealthy family, he took hygiene very seriously.
Unlike He Yuzhu, as long as there are no mouse droppings on the eucalyptus board, it is considered clean and hygienic.
With Nan Yi's seriousness in doing things, it would be impossible for him not to become a catering tycoon for decades.
When he heard that Wang Weidong asked him to roast sheep, he agreed without thinking.
However, I also made a small request to let him have a taste.
The reason why Nan Yi became a chef is because he has a greedy mouth.
In this era, supplies were scarce and pork was hard to find, let alone mutton.
As the saying goes, "Eating mutton in winter is better than eating ginseng."
When encountering such a good thing, Nan Yi will naturally not let it go.
Wang Weidong agreed without hesitation, asking people to help and giving him some compensation was appropriate.
After listening to Nan Yi talk about 9 ways to roast whole lamb, he returned to the workshop.
Then he dived into the laboratory.
The batch of hydraulic boosters has been completed and is now being tested.
The eighth-level workers who were transferred to help have not yet left, so Wang Weidong must take advantage of this opportunity to squeeze out their remaining value.
He had a bunch of ideas in his mind, and Jiang Gong, a second-hand inventor, was not enough.
There is such a good opportunity now, and of course it cannot be missed.
Time passed by unconsciously in the busyness.
Wang Weidong, except for taking time out to have a meal with Ding Qiunan at noon, spent the rest of the time in the laboratory discussing design ideas for new products.
It was not until the end of get off work that Secretary Chen found the workshop and pulled Wang Weidong out of the new research.
"Brother Chen, is the factory director looking for me again?" Wang Weidong asked Secretary Chen while wiping his hands.
After Secretary Chen looked around, he leaned into Wang Weidong's ear and said: "The big boss is here. He is in the conference room. He wants to talk to you for a few words. Weidong, you have to be prepared. The boss may ask you again this time." I’ve put an extra burden on you.”
"What?"
Wang Weidong was shocked. It only took two months for him to be promoted to supervisor.
Now I have to add another burden to him. Isn't this speed a bit fast?
According to this trend, he will be promoted to factory director in less than a year.
"Don't get excited. This is a good thing. You have to perform well in front of the leader later, but don't leave a bad impression on others." Secretary Chen warned.
Although he was a little envious of Wang Weidong's rising speed, he was still quite happy.
Wang Weidong is not a white-eyed wolf. In the past, he helped Wang Weidong often.
These favors are real. Wang Weidong is going to be promoted, which will also be good for him.
Wang Weidong nodded vigorously, took a deep breath, and calmed down.
"Brother Chen, please tell me about this leader."
If you want to leave a good impression on others, you have to prescribe the right medicine.
Secretary Chen didn't hide it, and immediately explained to Wang Weidong the habits and hobbies of the big leader.
This trip lasted more than three hours.
By the time Wang Weidong came out of the conference room, the sky had completely darkened and the workers at the steel rolling mill had already left work.
As soon as he got on his motorcycle and left the factory gate, Wang Weidong saw Nanyi.
Nan Yi squatted in the cold wind, his nose almost dripping with mucus. There was a box tied to the bicycle next to him.
Hearing the sound of the motorcycle, Nan Yi stood up and walked towards Wang Weidong.
"You've finally finished your meeting? I've been waiting for a long time!"
Wang Weidong looked a little embarrassed. He didn't know that Nan Yi would be waiting for him.
"I was called over for a meeting at short notice. I forgot to tell you. How about you come to my place? How many drinks can we have?"
Nan Yi shook his head when he heard this and said, "I don't want it anymore. Didn't you say you want to go to my father-in-law's house? It doesn't matter if you let me go. If you want to let your father-in-law go, be careful of him wearing small shoes for you in the future."
Only then did Wang Weidong remember that he had agreed with Ding Qiunan to go to Ding's house for dinner.
"Then let's meet up another day!"
"Yeah!" Nan Yi nodded and said, "I've prepared the roasted whole lamb for you. Put it in a wooden box and wrap it in a steamed bun cloth. It's still warm now. Put it directly on the shelf later and use a knife to Just cut it and eat it.”
"Okay, have you kept your share?" Wang Weidong asked.
"Do you even need to tell me? I'll definitely keep it! Okay, stop talking nonsense to me and go to Ding's house quickly!"
Nan Yi urged Wang Weidong, feeling that he was more anxious than Wang Weidong, the client.
Wang Weidong smiled and didn't say much. Together with Nan Yi, he unloaded the simple incubator he made from the bicycle and tied it to the back seat of the motorcycle.
Then he sat astride it, stepped on it hard a few times, lit the fire, and left with a puff of the accelerator.
Ding family.
Ding Qiunan's family was sitting at the dinner table talking.
Mother Ding looked outside the house, then at the dishes on the table, and asked Ding Qiunan, "Qiunan, is Wei Dong coming yet? This dish is almost cold."
Ding Qiunan hesitated and replied: "You should come. He was called to a meeting by the leader. I don't know when it will be held. How about we eat first!"
At this time, Ding Boren spoke: "Let's wait a little longer. He is doing business, and he doesn't mean to let us off the hook. Just wait!"
Ding Qiushan and his wife also nodded.
Thanks to Wang Weidong's arrangement of jobs for them, both of them are now extremely satisfied with their brother-in-law.
Not to mention waiting two hours, even waiting one night is not a problem.
Beep beep~
The clear sound of the trumpet came from outside the house.
Ding Qiunan suddenly stood up and ran outside.
Ding Boren and the others followed closely behind.
When their future son-in-law comes to their door, they have to greet him. This is the most basic etiquette.
When they opened the door, Ding Qiunan and the others saw Wang Weidong's figure.
At this time, he was unloading boxes from the car. Seeing this, Ding Qiushan quickly stepped forward to help.
Ding Qiushan asked curiously: "Weidong, what did you do?"
"Roast a whole lamb. I asked someone to get a small lamb. I asked Nan Yi from the cafeteria class to prepare it." Wang Weidong replied.
"We are all our own people, so why spend so much money? If you have money, save it. You are about to get engaged. There will be many places to use your money in the future!"
This was said by Ding's mother, but it could be seen from the smiling expression on her face that she was very satisfied with Wang Weidong's actions.
Reading with rice balls
Just kidding, these days when a young son-in-law goes to his father-in-law's house, it is considered a big gift to bring him two ounces of meat.
This is roasted lamb.
Even Minister Wang's family at the entrance of the hutong is not so wealthy.
"Didn't I hear Qiu Nan say that my sister-in-law is always greedy and wants to eat meat recently? I happen to have the resources, and now my sister-in-law is pregnant with a child, so I have to take care of her as a priority!"
When Ding Qiunan heard this, he was about to say that he had never said this before he received a look from Wang Weidong.
She suddenly woke up and immediately swallowed back the words that had reached her lips.
It felt like drinking honey. Brother Wei Dong was giving her face.
In the evening... shouldn't I give you a reward?
Ding Boren began to command his son.
"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and help Wei Dong move the things in! Do you still want to wait for me to do it?"
Ding Qiushan was not angry when he heard this. He smiled and stepped forward to help Wang Weidong carry the incubator into the room.
After arriving inside and opening the box, everyone was troubled when they saw the steaming lamb meat.
"How are we going to eat this sheep? How about I take it into the kitchen and chop it up first?" Mother Ding suggested.
"No, no, no." Wang Weidong shook his head and said to Ding Qiushan, "Brother Qiu Shan, go find a shelf and get a baking basin. We can cut it and eat it directly. People on the grassland are like this."
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
Without saying a word, Ding Qiushan turned around to find a shelf and a brazier.
Not long after, Ding Qiushan came back.
Wang Weidong stepped forward to help light the fire on the brazier and put the lamb on the rack.
Nanyi's cooking skills are unparalleled. The lamb is golden and shiny on the outside, browned and crispy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside, and fragrant.
The cold wind howled outside, and the wintersweet trees shivered with the cold.
A large family gathered around the brazier, eating mutton and chatting.
The atmosphere is very harmonious.
After the meal, the women were responsible for cleaning the tableware, while the three men drank tea and chatted.
While chatting, the topic of work inevitably came up.
Ding Qiushan is now a member of the 11th workshop, but Ding Boren is expected to be transferred back to the machinery factory after the year.
It would be unreasonable for Wang Weidong to leave such an eighth-level worker, who is also his father-in-law, if he doesn't start poaching.
"Uncle, look at Brother Qiu Shan and sister-in-law, they are already in the 11th workshop. Why don't you come over too."
Ding Boren frowned when he heard this, and said hesitantly: "Isn't this not good? If a family is crowded in a workshop, it is easy for others to gossip, especially now that you are at a critical moment, it would not be good to be labeled as using the public for personal gain. .”
Wang Weidong smiled and shook his head and said: "Uncle, you are different from Brother Qiu Shan and others. You are an eighth-level worker, and you are a hot commodity no matter where you are. And our workshop happens to be short of an eighth-level worker. Instead of asking others outside, I might as well invite you!”
Wang Weidong also has his own little calculation in his heart.
The rare existence of eighth-level workers, let alone now, will still be a very sought-after talent in future generations.
You have to hold this kind of talent in high esteem, but whether or not to do any work, and what kind of work to do, depends on the mood of the person.
This cannot be cultivated through hard work, it also depends on individual talent.
Yi Zhonghai is an eighth-level fitter. If he didn't seek death, he could live a very comfortable life.
However, he didn't have any clue in his heart, so he made himself look like a rat crossing the street.
Ding Boren is different from other eighth-level workers.
It's not that his skills are better, but that his relationship with Wang Weidong is different.
We are all a family. If my son-in-law asks his father-in-law to do something in the future, how dare he not care?
If the equipment is ruined and loses face, the daughter will not be able to be strong-willed at her husband's house in the future!
After hearing Wang Weidong's words, Ding Boren began to think seriously.
His son-in-law, son and daughter-in-law worked under him again.
If you don't help him, who will?
In addition, he has seen Wang Weidong's performance during this period.
It is really impossible to find such a son-in-law even with a lantern.
After thinking for a long time, Ding Boren said: "This job transfer is not something I can decide. It still needs to be approved by the factory."
Wang Weidong smiled immediately when he heard this and said: "I just need your consent. The machinery factory still owes me a favor. I will ask Director Yang to help intercede. Uncle, you just need to be prepared."
Ding Boren nodded and said nothing more.
People in this era are also relatively simple-minded. They don't think about being favored and coquettish. Instead, they think that since they have a relationship with Wang Weidong as son-in-law, they must not embarrass him. Otherwise, how can he convince the public in the future?
After finalizing the matter, the three of them talked about the engagement and decoration.
There are only a few days until the scheduled date, and all the invitations that should be sent have been sent out.
The Ding family still didn't mention the betrothal gift, they didn't want the money.
But just because people don't say it doesn't mean Wang Weidong can pretend to be stupid.
This is related to Ding Qiunan's face, so naturally the more the better.
Of course, you can't pretend to be fat.
This chat lasted for several hours, and finally three women from the Ding family joined in.
It wasn't until the clock in the main room remembered that everyone realized that it was getting late.
Ding Qiunan glanced at Wang Weidong, and then looked at Ding Boren.
It was so late and it was freezing outside. She definitely didn't want Wang Weidong to go back.
However, it was difficult to ask him to stay overnight.
Ding Boren noticed his daughter's expectant eyes and sighed in his heart.
He took the initiative and said to Wang Weidong: "It's already so late, so don't go back. Stay one night!"
Wang Weidong was shocked at first, and then nodded immediately after he realized what was happening.
This was the first time that my father-in-law stayed with him overnight.
Hey, how can you not give me face?
Of course, it was impossible to sleep in the same bed with Ding Qiunan.
The Ding family happened to have an empty room with a wooden bed in it.
The gifts Wang Weidong sent last time included cotton quilts, so you can just take them out and use them.
When Ding Qiunan saw that his father had left Wang Weidong behind, a bright smile broke out on his face.
This means that Ding Boren has completely accepted Wang Weidong as his son-in-law.
After a peaceful night.
Coming out of the room, Wang Weidong saw Ding Boren doing Tai Chi in the yard.
It seemed not quite the same as the Tai Chi exercise performed by the old man and old lady in the park in his memory of his previous life.
Out of curiosity, he imitated it.
After Ding Boren noticed Wang Weidong's movements, he simply called him forward and patiently explained some tips to him.
You don’t know if you don’t hear it, but you will be shocked when you hear it.
Only then did Wang Weidong know that Lao Ding was a direct descendant of a certain Tai Chi school.
Tai Chi may seem weak and weak, but it actually contains inner strength.
I don’t know if it can kill someone, but it’s more than enough for self-defense to deal with a few hooligans.
However, because of the old bad habit of the Ding family of passing on children but not daughters, Ding Qiunan, as a daughter, was excluded.
Otherwise, Cui Dake would have been beaten to the ground by Ding Qiunan.
Wang Weidong immediately became interested.
After deciding to learn something from my father-in-law, he passed it on to Ding Qiunan.
It’s not just about defeating the enemy, but it’s good to keep fit.
The military style boxing he practiced was too overbearing and not suitable for Ding Qiunan to learn.
