Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 208 Industrial Reform

A few people sat down to drink tea. Mother He looked around the room and whispered something to He Yumei.

He Yumei's pretty face was slightly red, and she glanced at Cai Quanwu from the corner of her eyes.

After getting along with each other these days, she still recognized Cai Quanwu very much. Although she didn't talk much, she had a good understanding and insight. Even if she became the official manager of the tavern, she would still treat others and do things the same way.

There's nothing wrong with it except that it's a little too long.

As the old saying goes: "If a thick willow dustpan and a thin willow bucket are used, no one in the world would think a man ugly."

No matter how ugly he is, if he looks like Xu Deyong, she won't be worried!

Chen Xueru from the silk shop came to the tavern to drink. When she met Xu Deyong, her eyes would look at him from time to time.

She looked at it and wanted to tell Sister Huizhen.

However, Sister Huizhen should be well aware of this.

Cai Quanwu finished pouring the tea and sat aside, clasping his hands and still feeling a little uneasy. He could talk eloquently during lectures, but usually he "treasured words like gold", but he was quite individual.

This is where the role of the middleman comes into play.

Mr. Niu said with a smile: "Old He, there is no such person who is down-to-earth, honest and kind, and his work is not bad. You have also seen the house. If you have any other requests, feel free to ask us. We will not be vague if we can do it." .”

He's father is also an ordinary worker who works in a factory. He supports the family of five by himself. After He Yumei went to work, the family's situation became better.

He said, "Master Niu, I naturally believe what you say. We have a house and a job, and we don't have any other requirements. This is a new society. As long as the two of us get along, it will be fine."

Mr. Niu said with a smile: "Hey, please be honest, don't parents want their children to be happy? You will definitely enjoy happiness on both sides!"

"That's the truth." He's father said: "Although all married daughters are throwing water, the daughter still has to go to her parents' home. Besides, it's not too far away. We can't "sell our daughters" like some places. The two families gradually lost contact."

Mr. Niu added: "How about you being a sensible person? If your parents are enlightened, your children will naturally be filial."

"Of course, we can't wrong Xiao He. We don't want to be special. We just follow the market. We have to have what ordinary people should have. As for those high-end things, let them struggle on their own in the future."

He's father followed Shanruliu and said: "I think, my dear, do you have anything else to add?"

Mother He sighed and said, "Hey, Xiao Cai, it's not easy for you. You're all alone and you don't have anyone to help you."

Xu Deyong said with a smile: "Don't worry, Auntie. You rely on your parents at home and your friends when you go out. If something happens, we friends will definitely not stand idly by. To be honest, I am also a friend. This friend is treated as a brother."

Mother He glanced at Xu Deyong. She heard from her daughter that this man was the private manager of the tavern. This young man was the ideal son-in-law in the eyes of her mother-in-law.

What a pity.

Mother He nodded and said: "I don't mean to be weird, I'm just telling the truth. I can see it. If you have a child later, I will have to take care of it."

"Mom." He Yumei whispered shyly.

If both parties have intentions and have outrageous demands, then the rest of the conversation will be a matter of course.

We have agreed on a good time, and in a few days Cai Quanwu will come to the house to give a betrothal gift, which means buying some pork, candies, and pastries.

He's mother said: "As the old saying goes, 'What is good is in the first month and evil is in the fifth month.' So the wedding date should be set for next month."

Mr. Niu said: "Just as you said."

……

After having a simple meal at noon, Xu Deyong returned to his home in the backyard of the tavern.

Xu Huizhen couldn't help asking: "How is it?"

Xu Deyong said with a smile: "Master Niu and I are going to go out, so it's absolutely foolproof."

Xu Huizhen rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't put too much pressure on your face. Who do your parents know about you? They must have seen Mr. Niu's face."

Xu Deyong pretended to be angry and stepped forward: "We are still good friends even if we don't tell you everything. My wife, your words hurt me, so you must compensate me."

Xu Huizhen knocked off the hand that was trying to cause trouble and said angrily: "Be honest, don't touch me if you're hot."

"Baba..."

Xiao Lier on the side waved to him.

Xu Deyong shook his head and said, "My little cotton-padded jacket still cares about me."

As he spoke, he reached out and gently picked her up, spinning her around in a small circle.

"Giggle..." Xiao Li'er's eyes grew slits in joy.

Xu Huizhen pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Yes, she dislikes you, so you can watch her. I'll go to the front to take a look."

After saying that, her skirt swayed and her leather shoes clicked away.

Xu Deyong smiled and gently pushed Xiao Li'er's head with his forehead and said, "Come on, let's come during our lunch break. Let's sit in the rocking chair."

The bamboo couch was set up, and Xu Deyong hugged Xiao Li'er and lay down on it. Xiao Li'er sat on Xu Deyong's belly, and the two of them played with the roly-poly.

The bamboo chair shook, and Xiao Lier's laughter continued. When he was tired from playing, he lay on Xu Deyong's belly and fell asleep slowly.

From a small one, it grows into an adult and goes through the years.

You grow up, I grow old, and the years will never change.

Being a parent is not easy, so parents will be so sad when their children grow up to be disobedient or do wrong things, because they have paid too much.

Generation after generation, it is impossible to empathize without experiencing it.

Xu Deyong also slowly closed his eyes, holding Xiao Li'er's small body with his big hands. The shaking of the bamboo chair stopped unconsciously, and the father and daughter fell asleep.

When Xu Huizhen came back and saw this scene, she smiled knowingly and watched quietly. The warm scene seemed to be frozen.

Well, I really wish I had a camera to record this scene.

Unfortunately, today's small cameras are basically unavailable. Except for photo studios, private cameras are owned by newspapers or foreign talents. For example, Irina has one.

The imitation cameras of New China have not yet come out, and even if they do come out, they are all handmade and cannot be mass-produced.

The first domestic camera in the history of camera manufacturing in my country was produced in 47-48 before the founding of the People's Republic of China. It was manufactured by Mr. Zheng Chonglan. The model was SELO, also known as "Wiener-Xianle". The total output was more than 200 The camera is an ancient box camera.

The first camera after the founding of the People's Republic of China was named "July 120". It was my country's first self-made folding camera, also known as the 7 camera in the industry. It was named as a party day gift on July 1, but it was not released to the outside world. On sale, it is a standard small folding camera.

Except for the optical glass used in the lens, all more than 480 parts are made of domestic raw materials.

Well, just this year!

The second one...hey, it's a Diners (also known as "Dens") brand camera.

……

The night is warm and moist, so get it wisely.

As the saying goes: Looking up at the spring tide, the peach blossoms are full of dew.

When the somewhat "depressed" sounds gradually stopped, only two gasping sounds, one thick and one thin, remained.

Xu Huizhen hugged Xu Deyong tightly, as if she wanted to rub herself into it.

After a long time, under Xu Deyong's comfort, she finally calmed down.

"Deyong." Xu Huizhen murmured.

"Yeah." Xu Deyong responded.

Xu Huizhen closed her eyes and said, "Shall we buy a radio tomorrow?"

Xu Deyong said casually: "If you want to buy it, just buy it. Anyway, you are a little rich woman and you are not short of money." Xu Huizhen lightly bit his shoulder and said coquettishly: "Don't say that."

Xu Deyong gently rubbed the curve between her waist and hips, and said with a smile: "If you don't call her a little rich woman, why should you call her an old rich woman?"

"Hate, I'm talking to you about something serious." Xu Huizhen said.

Xu Deyong grinned and said with a playful smile: "We can't be serious like this!"

Xu Hui was so excited to talk to him and said, "Should we buy one for grandma? Grandma said no before, so I think it's okay to buy one."

Xu Deyong said: "No need for the time being. You haven't stayed in that courtyard for long and haven't had much contact. There are some evil spirits in that courtyard. Let's talk about it later."

"Evil sect?" Xu Huizhen said puzzledly: "Why are there evil sects? I don't think they are good."

Xu Deyong thought for a while and said: "You are right, everything is fine now."

Xu Hui was really puzzled and said angrily: "What do you mean by this nonsense? What kind of evil, very good, people can't understand."

Xu Deyong didn't explain too much, and said with a smile: "If you don't understand, you can do it."

As he said that, he raised his arms and slid into it like an eel.

"snort……."

The waves are so majestic that you can’t help yourself.

……

In life, the most important things are two things: making love and having sex, the rest is insignificant.

Almost all your efforts are aimed at these two things.

"Ugh..."

Xu Deyong performed the two stone lock dances in the morning. As long as his arms are strong enough, his waist strength can actually be saved.

Well, from personal experience, most people can’t do it.

Say goodbye to envy!

After the exercise, Xu Deyong opened today's blind box.

"Boom."

Good guy, I built an electrical appliance.

Electric fan.

Compared with bicycles, radios, etc., this thing is not that particularly eye-catching. I will take it back and use it another day.

Well, if a radio came out today, you wouldn't have to spend money to buy it.

After breakfast, the family got dressed and Xu Deyong took his wife to the department store to buy a radio.

At this time, there were not many choices for radios, and the best ones were naturally from the "small capital".

In the end, Xu Huizhen chose "Little Capital" and spent 96 yuan. Although it will be all domestically produced in two years, the price will be half cheaper, and the available materials and workmanship will be a level lower.

It was the first time that Xiao Li'er came to a department store. Her eyes looked everywhere, and everything she saw was a bit dazzling. There were too many things that she had "never seen before."

I can't see it, I can't see it at all!

When he came out, Xiao Li'er's eyes were still a little blank, like a little fool.

On the way back, Xu Huizhen bought another newspaper at the newspaper stop.

After returning home, Xu Deyong plugged in the radio, selected a station, and a sound full of the characteristics of the times sounded.

There were few radio and television stations at this time, and they could only receive four or five stations.

Xiao Li'er was full of curiosity about the sudden sound. He looked to the left and looked for it. It looked very pleasant.

So Xu Deyong carried her to the radio. She finally determined that the sound was coming from the thing in front of her, and she put her little head close to patting it with her hands.

"oops!"

Xu Huizhen suddenly shouted.

Xu Deyong and Xiao Lier both turned their heads, and the former asked: "What's going on?"

"Big deal." Xu Huizhen came over with a newspaper and said, "The National Academy of Sciences passed the "Decision on Wage Reform."

Xu Deyong said: "If you pass it, just pass it. There were rumors before, and now the rumors have come true, but it will take some time for them to be fully implemented. Aren't you guys still getting paid?"

Xu Huizhen said: "It was considered a pilot before, but now it is officially implemented. This wage reform has to be changed from top to bottom. Take a look."

Xu Deyong took it over and looked at it.

This industrial reform includes several major categories of distribution systems for state agencies, enterprises and institutions. Among them, party and government agencies implement a job-level salary system, dividing cadres into 30 administrative levels; enterprise workers are divided into 8 (7 for individual types of work) ) technical level, professionals such as engineering technicians, teachers, medical workers, and literary and artistic workers also have their own level series accordingly.

Moreover, the various series can be roughly converted to each other. For example, the first level of literature and art is equivalent to the administrative level 8; the higher education level 8 is equivalent to the administrative level 17, etc.

The country is divided into 11 types of wage areas based on the natural conditions, price and living cost levels, transportation and wage conditions of various places, with due care given to key development areas and areas with difficult living conditions.

It is stipulated that the first-category area is used as the benchmark, and the wage standard increases by 3% for each higher category (for example, Sijiucheng belongs to the sixth-category area and Shanghai belongs to the eighth-category area). The higher the wage area category, the higher the wage standard.

After the industrial reform was decided, the intellectual and cultural circles were also willing to "accept the name and fix the price" for this classification.

Take Mei Lanfang, whose reservation salary before classification was 1100 yuan, but he was willing to be rated as a first-level artist and only received 336 yuan.

After the salary system was implemented, writers could freely choose between the literary and administrative levels. If you choose the artistic level, the salary is higher than the administrative level, but many people choose the administrative level.

In addition to the "self-denying" era atmosphere at that time, there is another reason, that is, choosing the administrative level to read documents, listen to reports, and even decide whether to subscribe to the "Reference News", which is the so-called "internal reference", and Enjoy high-level medical treatment.

This industrial reform laid the foundation for my country's 30-year-long labor wage system and had a profound impact on my country's "official system."

Since then, "level" has become an important criterion for the political and economic life ranking of various social groups in China except farmers.

Of course, because the mainstream view at this time held a negative attitude towards material rewards, subsequent wage management was not carried out in full compliance with the above-mentioned "decision", and the wage upgrade originally scheduled to be completed by the end of the year was not held as scheduled.

No reform is achieved overnight.

Moreover, this reform is also the intention of the "central government" to take the opportunity to "take over power" from the local governments.

In the past, the wage system was different from place to place based on its own conditions. Now that a salary schedule is in place, it is equivalent to depriving the place of a lot of "freedom", and naturally it will not be so smooth.

Even teachers have strong objections to this salary reform and the move to classify people into "three, six, or nine grades."

But this is the general trend.

In the afternoon, also because of the weekend, many people came to the tavern early.

Everyone was talking a lot, and the focus of the discussion was naturally the news about the "wage reform". After all, it was a matter of everyone's vital interests.

Xu Deyong waited for Xiao Li'er to go to bed and came over to join in the fun.

Niu Ye, Xu Hesheng, Fan Jinyou and others were all there, and the scene was quite lively.
