Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 620 It's a matter of human effort
After riding the train for more than twenty hours, Wu Pinsheng and his family finally returned to Shanghai.

"Master Wu! Teacher Liang! Didn't you go to Kyoto to discuss Aiyun's marriage? Why did you come back so soon?" Wu Pinsheng's family of five, carrying a lot of things, had just walked to the Shanghai Shipbuilding Factory's family members At the gate of the community, the guard in charge of the gate saw Wu Pinsheng's family of five and immediately greeted Wu Pinsheng warmly.

When Wu Pinsheng heard the concierge's inquiry, he subconsciously stopped, took out a pack of Marlboro cigarettes given to him by Wu Aiguo from his bag, stuffed it into the concierge's hand, and said with a smile: "Uncle Liu! I know you I like to smoke, so I brought you a pack of imported cigarettes from Yanjing. It's not respectful to be careful."

When Uncle Liu heard what Wu Pinsheng said, he saw the Marlboro that Wu Pinsheng put in his hand. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said to Wu Pinsheng with a smile: "Master Wu! This Marlboro is an American cigarette. On the Korean battlefield, I They were seized from the United States, and I heard that buying these cigarettes requires foreign exchange rolls."

When Wu Pinsheng heard what Uncle Liu said, he thought of the gift Wu Aiguo had brought back to Shanghai for him after he sent them to the train station. He replied happily: "Uncle Liu! This cigarette was given to me by my nephew. As for buying it, I don’t know very well whether this kind of cigarettes should be rolled in foreign currency.”

After hearing the situation introduced by Wu Pinsheng, Uncle Liu thought of the reason why Wu Pinsheng went to Kyoto City this time, and immediately asked Wu Pinsheng: "Master Wu! I heard from people in the dormitory that after Aiyun of our family married to Kyoto City, Aiyun Is it true that my partner’s family will help Aiyun find a job as a salesperson in a supply and marketing cooperative?”

When Wu Pinsheng heard Uncle Liu asking about his daughter's work arrangements, he glared with dissatisfaction. Liang Yuefang, who was standing aside, smiled and replied: "Uncle Liu! This is indeed the case. Considering that Aiyun is far away this time, In order to prevent Aiyun from being bullied by her in-laws’ family in the future, we did not accept the job arranged by her in-laws for Aiyun.”

When Master Liu heard the situation introduced by Wu Pinsheng, he showed an incredible expression on his face. He asked Wu Pinsheng in shock: "What! Master Wu! That's a salesperson in the Eighth Party Committee. How can you say no to such a popular job?" Just don’t want it?”

"Uncle Liu! Aiyun's cousin was worried that Aiyun would not be able to hold her own head as a member of her husband's family in the future because of the job arrangement arranged by her husband's family, so he found Aiyun a job as a salesperson in a department store in Kyoto City. The reason why we met When I come back so soon, I just want to help Aiyun apply for a household registration and relocation certificate." Liang Yuefang, who loves to show off, answered Uncle Liu's inquiry immediately.

When Uncle Liu heard the news revealed by Liang Yuefang, he showed a surprised expression on his face and asked Wu Pinsheng curiously: "Master Wu! Is what Teacher Liang said true? Do you have any relatives in Kyoto City?"

When Liang Yuefang heard Uncle Liu's inquiry and saw the other person's surprised reaction, she introduced with a proud face: "Uncle Liu! Our old Wu is originally from Kyoto City. His brother and sister both live in Kyoto City. At that time, he came to our Shanghai City from Kyoto in response to supporting the southern development."

"Our Lao Wu's nephew not only helped Aiyun find a job in a department store, but also suggested that our family move to Kyoto City. Because our Lao Wu was already accustomed to life here in Shanghai, he ultimately refused His nephew’s proposal.”

When Uncle Liu heard the situation introduced by Liang Yuefang, he immediately realized that the identity of Wu Pinsheng's nephew was probably not simple. He quickly asked Liang Yuefang curiously: "Mr. Liang! Which unit in Kyoto does Master Wu's nephew work?" I actually have the ability to transfer you to Kyoto City." Liang Yuefang, who loves to show off, heard Uncle Liu's inquiry and immediately remembered the photos she saw at Wu Pingshan's house, and introduced to Uncle Liu with a proud look on her face: "Uncle Liu. ! Our Lao Wu’s nephew works in the Government Affairs Council and knows many important people in Kyoto City.”

"Grandpa Liu! My second cousin also took photos with Mr. Zhi and Mr. Ji. It only took my second cousin one day to implement my sister's work." When Wu Aijun heard Liang Yuefang's words, he immediately thought of him After seeing those photos, he immediately answered the question and said to Uncle Liu.

When Uncle Liu learned that Wu Pinsheng's nephew actually took pictures with Mr. Zhi and Mr. Ji, he showed a shocked expression on his face and said to Wu Pinsheng with envy: "Master Wu! It seems that something happened to your old Wu family. What a big shot!"

Soon, the news that Wu Pinsheng's nephew worked in the Kyoto City Council and took photos with Mr. Zhi and Mr. Ji spread like a gust of wind in the living area of ​​the Shanghai Shipbuilding Factory.

In a conference room of the office building of Shanghai Shipbuilding Factory, a middle-aged man looked at several colleagues sitting in the conference room and said with a serious face: "Comrades! Yesterday I just received a call from Kyoto City I got a call from an old classmate, saying that the Ministry of Industry has just introduced a batch of very advanced machine tools, and I plan to ask Deputy Director Zhao to lead a team to Kyoto City to see if we can get some equipment from the Ministry of Industry."

Everyone who attended the meeting heard the news introduced by the middle-aged man. One of the middle-aged women immediately spoke out: "Director Zhou! I also heard the news about the introduction of new equipment by the Ministry of Industry, mentioned by my classmates in Kyoto. But I heard that this batch of equipment has been targeted by some factories in Kyoto City for a long time. It may not be easy for us to extract the teeth from the local factories in Kyoto."

"Director Li! I don't like hearing what you are saying. Regardless of whether it's a case of pulling out teeth from a tiger's mouth, if we don't send people to get involved, no matter how much equipment the Ministry of Industry has, it's impossible for them to be distributed to us. If we send people Go, maybe the Ministry of Industry will give us a few units because we need these equipment very much. After all, it depends on people!" A middle-aged man said with a look of dissatisfaction after hearing what the middle-aged woman said. Refute the other party.

Director Zhou heard the middle-aged man's rebuttal, and based on his understanding of the middle-aged man, he must have some solution, so he smiled and asked: "Deputy Director Zheng! I know that many of your comrades are in Kyoto City. How about you help contact some comrades and see if they can help us get some equipment back."

When Deputy Factory Director Zheng heard Director Zhou's suggestion, he immediately replied: "Director Zhou! As a member of the factory, I will definitely take my duty. After the meeting is over, I will go back to the office to call my comrades. Call us and ask them to think of a way to help us apply for some equipment."

"Director Zhou! In fact, there is someone in our factory who may be able to help us get some equipment from Kyoto City." The young man who was taking meeting minutes heard Deputy Director Zheng's answer and suddenly remembered that he came to work today. At that time, I finally couldn't help but talk about some gossip I heard in the office.
