Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 352 Promoted to Factory Director
On the last day of July, the sun was shining brightly and the weather was muggy all morning.

The whole sky, like a steamer, is unbearably hot.

At noon, Xu Qing, wearing a gray half-sleeved undershirt, had lunch with Ma Jiefang in the factory cafeteria.

The meal was still steamed buns mixed with stick noodles and a bowl of meat dishes without much meat.

Although by 76, the domestic material shortage situation had improved compared to ten years ago, it did not get rid of the tight supply situation.

Ma Jiefang took a big bite of a piece of steamed bun, picked up a thin piece of meat that could see through the shadows with chopsticks, stuffed it into his mouth, looked up at Xu Qing who was sitting opposite, and asked in a low voice:

"Brother Qingzi, there's nothing about your matter?"

Xu Qing stopped the chopsticks in his hand and said, "Not yet, but I heard from Aiguo that the main factory will make a decision soon."

"Brother Qingzi, what errand will the factory arrange for you?"

Xu Qing smiled and shook his head, "I haven't heard of patriotism."

Ma Jiefang exclaimed, took another big bite of the steamed bun in his hand, and said while chewing:

"Brother Qingzi, my fourth sister and fourth brother-in-law went home last night, and I heard from the fourth brother-in-law that the situation has changed a lot, whether it's at home or abroad.

He also said that our exchanges with many foreign countries are becoming more and more frequent, and maybe in the future, we can also drink the foreign wines that foreigners drink. "

Xu Qing looked at Ma Jiefang, and suddenly felt that he had really fallen into the wine barrel, and he knew he wanted to drink all day long.

It really is following the father-in-law and maintaining the fine traditions of the old Ma family.

However, Xu Qing took Ma Jiefang's words to heart and secretly felt that the fourth brother-in-law, whom he rarely met, had a very keen sense of smell.

Wherever you go, you can see signs of future development.

This fourth brother-in-law is not easy.

But having said that, Xu Qing knows better than him the future development trend.

It will be two years before the domestic economy begins to develop vigorously.

Now, it's still early days.

After lunch in the noisy cafeteria, Xu Qing drank a large bowl of mung bean soup, went to the sink to clean the lunch box, and then went back to the office to take a nap.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, there was loud thunder, the sultry sky was covered with clouds, and soon, heavy rain fell from the sky.

On a hot summer day, it's finally a moment to cool off.

However, the thunderstorms came quickly and violently, and left neatly. Within an hour and a half, they died down, and the sun returned to the sky and continued to shine and heat.

After get off work in the afternoon, Xu Qing, Sha Zhu, Yi Zhonghai, and Liu Haizhong left the factory together and went back to the compound.

Just like three years ago, they all live in the same compound, neighbors, commuting and walking together, the crowd is also lively.

On the street, after avoiding the previous rain, the small vendors continued to set up their stalls and sell their goods. The trees planted on both sides became greener after being washed by the rain, but there were fewer big-character posters on the wall, but the red slogans, still there.

Always so conspicuous, so attention-grabbing.

But the more I look at it, the less I feel.

When Xu Qing returned to the compound, the third uncle in the front yard was cleaning his bicycle again, but Yan Jiecheng's daughters, old and young, were by his side, cleaning the bicycle that had been ridden for more than ten years to a spotless spot.

After Xu Qing greeted Yan Bugui, he walked through the front yard and the middle yard, and headed straight for the backyard where he lived.

The old lady rarely came out today. She leaned against the door of the house and sat on a small bench, staring at Xiao Hongzhi pushing the iron ring and rolling it in the yard.

Xu Qing, Aiguo and Fengming also played with this iron ring more than ten years ago. Now, it has become Xiao Hongzhi's toy again.

It can be regarded as a family heirloom.

The second aunt was reprimanding her daughter-in-law, and the two of them were blushing because they didn't know why.

Xu Qing walked up to the old lady, pointed at the second aunt, the old lady who had almost lost all her teeth, and whispered:
"Xiaoqing, your second aunt thinks Guangtian's daughter-in-law doesn't pick vegetables cleanly, so she lost her temper."

Xu Qing nodded upon hearing this.

Although the old lady's ears are not as good as before, and her eyesight is even worse, Feng Ming gave her a pair of reading glasses, which she wears happily every day, and no one is allowed to take them off.

That's when Xiao Hongzhi became mischievous, and he was able to secretly take it off while she was asleep, but after being beaten twice by Xu Qing, the little guy never dared to play tricks again.

Ma Jinghong has been riding the bicycle at home for several years, taking Xu Xiaoya to and from get off work.

Today they came back from get off work early in the morning, and the two of them are cooking dinner in the kitchen of the house.

Xu Qing went back to his room in no hurry. He sat next to the old lady, smoking and watching his son rolling hoops happily in the yard.

More than half an hour later, Xu Aiguo came back, and as soon as he entered the backyard, he happily said to his elder brother:
"Brother, there is news about your matter."

Xu Qing sat at the door of the old lady's house and asked:
"The general factory has considered the arrangement for me?"

Xu Aiguo held the briefcase in his hand, hummed, sat aside, and said in a low voice:
"Brother, our main factory has decided to arrange for you to become the director of the fifth factory."

"As the factory manager?"

"Yeah," Xu Aiguo nodded, "Brother, you are still the factory director."

Xu Qing smoked a cigarette, thought about it, and thought to himself:
"Although I came back from university, I can be promoted to the director of the component factory. Is it a bit too fast?"

Xu Qing turned to look at his second brother, "Patriotic, did you help elder brother speak to the main factory?"

Xu Aiguo chuckled.

"Brother, I planned to come that way, but I didn't say anything today, the main factory has already held a meeting and decided to let you be the regular director of the fifth branch factory.

I inquired about it. It is said that the factory considered that during your university studies, you represented workers, peasants and soldiers. Not only did you interview foreign guests, but you were also praised by big figures. Combined with the fact that you have worked in the third factory for many years and have been working steadily, the factory made an exception to promote you. factory manager. "

After Xu Aiguo finished speaking, he said excitedly:

"Brother, Wang Minsheng, the deputy director of the fifth branch factory, has a very good relationship with me. I went to work last month and drank together. If you go there to be the factory director, I will ask him to help you and get to know the fifth branch as soon as possible. factory work."

Xu Qing smiled and nodded.

Looking at the second brother, he suddenly felt that he was getting more and more promising. In the past three years, not only had he established a firm foothold in the main factory, but he also had a pretty good relationship with the leaders of the branch factory.

As expected, he was born to pursue an official career.

the next day.

At the No. [-] Red Star Steel Rolling Plant, Director Li received an order, and Xu Qing was assigned to be the director of the No. [-] Branch Plant.

The whole person seemed to be hit by a bolt from the blue, and he froze in the office, unable to accept it for a long time.

I can't even believe it.

Xu Qing is the director of the fifth branch factory, what's the situation?
He originally thought that the main factory's slow refusal to arrange for Xu Qing was due to Xu Qing's doing something bad while he was in college.

So put it off.

Unexpectedly, on the contrary, the main factory wanted Xu Qing to be the leader of the fifth factory.

Director Li stood in the office, smoking a cigarette, pacing back and forth thinking for a while, turned his head and grabbed the documents delivered earlier in the morning, frowned, and read it carefully twice before accepting the fact.

With a long sigh, he asked the broadcasting station in the factory to report the arrangement of Xu Qing to the fifth branch factory.

As the factory broadcast sounded.

Everyone in the factory immediately listened.

"Dear workers and comrades, the latest instructions from the main factory, Comrade Xu Qing of our factory, after the research and decision of the main factory, will go to the fifth branch factory to serve as the director of the factory from now on."

Broadcast three consecutive announcements.

The thousands of workers in the factory were all taken aback for a moment, and then immediately discussed like boiling water.

It is exciting news that a director of the fifth branch factory has emerged from the factory.

In the third workshop of the fitter department, Lao Zhang, Er Mazi, Zhou Pingtai, Wang Dequan and others stood at the door of the workshop, cheering and jumping for joy.

Because Xu Qing first entered the factory to work in their third workshop.

Now, Xu Qing has become the leader of the fifth branch factory.

Lao Zhang, who seldom shed tears, had tears of excitement in his eyes, and his apprentice was promising. As a master, he also had a radiant face.

The apprentice became the factory manager without paying attention. As a master, Lao Zhang was really proud of Xu Qing.

He just recalled that three years ago, he thought it was nonsense because his apprentice was going to college.

Now it seems that I am short-sighted.

People whose apprentices have studied have ink in their stomachs, and when they think about things and do things, they must be deliberate. How could they be like Zhao Er's fool, who can do whatever comes to mind when his brain is hot.

Er Mazi hugged Wang Dequan and grinned:
"Brother Dequan, have you seen how powerful Qingzi is? The factory has been silent about it some time ago. As a result, the main factory asked him to become the director of the fifth factory, haha."

Wang Dequan patted Er Mazi on the head and said: "You kid, learn from it. When will you become a factory director, let me, my brother, follow you and take advantage of me."

Er Mazi pretended not to hear, rushed out of the workshop, and walked quickly towards Xu Qing's office.

at the same time.

Yan Jiecheng, who was still in the maintenance workshop and had never held a full-time official position, heard the content on the radio and was so angry that he dropped the deck of cards in his hand on the oil-stained ground.

He lived in the same hospital as Xu Qing, who was younger than him. As a result, in just a few years, Xu Qing had reached the position of deputy department in the factory.

Today, the main factory asked Xu Qing to be the director of the fifth factory.

Xu Qing, who was also a third-year graduate, had already become the head of a factory, but not only did he not mention the job,
Not even a workshop director was caught in the workshop.

With such a huge gap, Yan Jiecheng couldn't feel better.

Especially today the factory announced through the radio.

Yan Jiecheng felt dizzy when he thought about his hapless daughter-in-law, Yu Li.

Knowing that Yu Li would have to quarrel with him when she went back at night, she felt even more uncomfortable for a moment.

And Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, who also worked in the workshop, stood at the door of their own workshop, without speaking for a long time.

Three years ago, when Xu Qing just went to university for further studies and was assigned to interview foreign guests, the two of them and Yan Bugui felt that Xu Qing would definitely be the factory director in the future.

Wouldn’t this be true now?

But Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were not happy at all.

At first, they just thought that way at the beginning and did not expect that today, three years later, Xu Qingzhen would become the director of the factory.

Secondly, Xu Qing is not the factory manager of the third factory, and they will have no choice but to ask Xu Qing for help in the future.

After all, Xu Qing went to the fifth factory of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, not stayed in the third factory.

In this way, if the two of them encountered something in the third factory, if it was not a big deal, how could they have the nerve to ask Xu Qing.

And Qin Huairu, who was also standing at the door of the workshop, was alone, lost in thought.

It is a happy thing for others that Xu Qing was promoted to be the director of the factory.

But she was not happy at all.

Xu Qing was going to the fifth branch factory, but she didn't go.

If anyone finds fault with her in the future, without Xu Qing's protection, and Sha Zhu doesn't want to be nice to her, who can she rely on?
In the past, when Xu Qing was here, people in the factory wanted to criticize her, take advantage of her, and talk about right and wrong, but they only dared to do so behind her back, not in person, because they had to think about the fact that Xu Qing, a cadre, lived in the same compound as her.

It's just that Xu Qing is going to take up his post in the fifth branch soon, and Qin Huairu suddenly feels that the sky is falling.

The whole person said that he was lonely, with his head lowered, his hands clutching the front of his clothes, and for a moment, his heart was in a mess, and he didn't know what to do.

It's just that Yu Li in the Tianchegong workshop is completely different from what Qin Huairu thought.

The radio station broadcast the first time, and Yu Li heard it clearly.

His face showed shock, but also more jealousy, jealousy, and regret.

Jealousy Xu Qinggang soon returned to the factory from school and was about to become the factory director.

Ma Jinghong is jealous of Ma Jinghong, how can she be so lucky to marry Xu Qing, not only have she enjoyed all the blessings these years, but she will soon become the wife of the factory director.

On the contrary, it was me who followed Yan Jiecheng. Apart from suffering, it was a life of suffering and enjoying the blessings, and almost three days did not pass.

Regret arose in his heart, how could he be so blind at the beginning and see Yan Jiecheng as such a useless person.

Xu Qing, who dropped out of high school, went to work in a factory before graduating. Fortunately, Yan Jiecheng still finished high school.

Over the past few years, Xu Qing has blossomed like a sesame seed, growing steadily.

Then look at the worthless man in his family, still nesting in the smelly workshop, always saying that he is trying to find a way to improve his career, and he has been saying it since before he got married, how many years have passed, and he still hasn't become a cadre.

It's just that the mud can't stick to the wall!
Yu Li was furious, and the more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became.

I wish I could rush to Yan Jiecheng's workshop now and have a big fight with him.

However, at this time in Xu Qing's office, many people rushed in to congratulate him.

Shazhu, Ma Jiefang, Qian Bing, Tian Zhongqing, Wu Yuemei, Wei Shengli, Chen Guodong, and the original people in the office all congratulated Xu Qing on his promotion.

Silly grinning, with a cigarette in his mouth, he bared his teeth and said with a grin:
"Qingzi, brother, I am so envious. You have become the director of the factory. The job I just took up, brother, becomes more and more boring the more I think about it."

Ma Jiefang secretly moved to his wife Wu Yuemei, and said to Xu Qing with a playful smile:

"Brother Qingzi, why don't you take me to the fifth factory, and I'll follow you."

When Silly Zhu heard this, he thought it was a good idea, and immediately agreed: "Qingzi, Liberation is right, brother, I will go too, and I will help you take care of the kitchen in the canteen of the fifth branch."

Xu Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He went to the fifth branch factory, which was the meaning of the main factory.

Even if he was the factory manager in the past, it is impossible to say that he can bring people from the third factory if he wants to.

These days, everything is arranged.

Even if he wants to take Sha Zhu and Ma Jiefang away, he will have to slowly find a way to second them after they have established themselves in the Fifth Factory.

Just as Xu Qing was joking with everyone, Wang Minsheng, deputy director of the No. [-] Branch Factory, had already brought his people to the No. [-] Red Star Rolling Steel Factory by car to pick him up.
