Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 327 Office Life (Life Chapter)

After dinner, when Qin Huairu told Ma Gu that she wanted to go to the Northeast to see Banggeng and asked Ma Gu if she wanted to go see the Second Army together, Ma Gu readily agreed.

Gu's mother hasn't been back for a few years. Apart from regular correspondence, she hasn't seen her relatives in the Northeast for a long time.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Gu Weijun and Gu's father have no vacation. Is it for the sake of revolutionary mass production?

Now it's good, Qin Huairu happens to be with her, and she can have company.

The next step was for Gu Weijun to find Factory Director Li, no, he was going to call him Director Li now, and said hello to him, asking him to grant Qin Huairu a few days' leave.

Although Director Li is very high-spirited now, he does not dare to offend Gu Weijun. If nothing else, everyone in the entire Shougang system knows that Gu Weijun is secretly the chief technical engineer of Shougang?

Let’s not talk about it remotely, let’s just talk about the upgrading and renovation of the continuous casting and rolling mill of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant. It was Gu Weijun who directed Shougang’s technical staff and Tsinghua teachers to carry out the upgrade.

Not to mention, Gu Weijun also has a good thing like Double Whip Liquor, but who knows who uses it?

When Director Li heard that it was such a trivial matter and it was not a major production position, he wrote a ten-day letter of introduction to Qin Huairu. What leave was he asking for? This is a trip to Northeast China to inspect brother units!

Two days later, at the wine table on New Year's Day in 71, Director Li frequently raised his glass, "Brother!"

"I heard that you can often go abroad in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"

Director Li drank a cup of wine and said, "Brother, you are right!"

"You, just rush them to the front line and work!"

In other words, the more villainous a person is, the more superficial they have to be when making friends. This is why Gu Weijun must have a meal with Director Li even though it can be solved with a phone call, even though it is Director Li's treat.

Gu Weijun confirmed with a smirk: "Stockings?"

Later, Gu Weijun heard Director Li complain about the talent pool in Nanluogu Alley, Liu Haizhong who couldn't help him, and Xu Damao, who was ungrateful.

Gu Weijun laughed repeatedly when he heard this, "Brother, what kind of helper are you looking for in Nanluogu Alley?"

"It's good if I don't cause any trouble for you!"

As soon as these words came out, Director Li was excited, "Brother, how do you say this?"

"Can you help me bring some socks of the kind that woman is wearing?"

Director Li was filled with envy, "Hey, brother, if my family had photos and calligraphy of leaders and teachers like yours, I would have been promoted long ago!"

Gu Weijun disagreed with this statement, "Brother, let's see if we have a strong enough backer!"

"Ah, yes, they are stockings!" Director Li held up his forehead, "Brother, you know better! You are sentimental!"

"Hmph, you need to know what it means to be cold at a high place!"

"This is an undisclosed secret taught by the first-rank officials of the Ming Dynasty!"

"I understand a little, I understand a little!"

Then he looked at Gu Weijun eagerly and asked mysteriously: "Brother, are you going to be promoted to deputy director soon?"

After separating from Director Li, Gu Weijun slowly walked to the courtyard in Nanluoguxiang. Next Monday, January 1th, is the Laba Festival. After Laba, it will be the New Year. Unfortunately, he has to go to France again.

After listening to this, Director Li was stunned for a while, then gave a thumbs up and drank another cup of wine, "Brother, you are the one!"

"Haha!" The two perverts, one big and one small, couldn't help but clink their glasses again and laughed.

Gu Weijun took a sip of wine and said in a low voice: "Be an official and think twice: What does thinking twice mean? Thinking twice means thinking about danger, thinking about retreat, and thinking about change!"

Gu Weijun waved his hand low-key, "It depends on next year."

"No backer?"

I don’t know how long I can stay in France this time? Can we make it in time for the 71 Spring Festival?

Back at Nanluogu Lane, Gu Weijun stuffed the letter of introduction into Qin Huairu's arms and wandered home.

At home, Mother Gu has not gone to bed yet and is packing her things. What should she take back?

Bringing meat? The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there will definitely be a pig slaughter in my hometown. Just use money to buy it. There is no need for tickets in the countryside.

Bring more cloth!

It’s not easy to get cloth in rural areas. Now, don’t we have cloths given by two foreign daughters-in-law at home? They look good. It just so happens that the girls in my hometown are getting older and they are getting new clothes for the Chinese New Year!

By the way, I also need to bring one for my parents on both sides; I can’t forget to give it to my sisters-in-law as well. How many horses should I get?

Well, a few old people will bring back a few bottles of good wine, um, and cigarettes, and let a few old people have a taste.

Then he asked Gu Weijun to buy some roast ducks and bring them with him. It happened to be cold enough to keep them.

I don’t know if there are any more babies in the family, and I need to buy more candies, preserved fruits, and, by the way, milk powder. Gu Ma directly cleared away all kinds of candy tickets, milk powder tickets, wine tickets, etc. at home.

Looking at the big and small bags that Gu's mother was taking care of, Gu Weijun was a black man. He was worried about taking care of everything and didn't even look at you. You are just two lesbians. How can you have so much strength?

Gu Weijun had to interrupt Gu's mother who was sorting out the package, "Mom, how much strength can you and Sister Qin have between you and me?"

"Your big bag and small bag must weigh at least more than 200 kilograms, right?"

"How do you bring it?"

"Also, it's just this cloth. One piece is enough. Why are you bringing so much? It's too heavy! You won't need it at home in the future?"

When Gu Ma heard this, she picked up the feather duster, pointed at Gu Weijun and cursed, "You brat, have you forgotten where your roots are?"

"I brought some things to my hometown and stayed here. I forgot that during the natural disaster three years ago, how could we survive without the help of our relatives back home?"

"It makes you feel bad to bring some cloth?"

"Besides, these two foreign wives are honoring me. What does it have to do with you!"

Gu Weijun had a headache. What should I do if this old lady is being unreasonable? I can only explain patiently: "Mom, that's not what I meant?"

"I mean you have so many things, how can you and Sister Qin carry them?"

"I can't even move it."

Gu Ma rolled her eyes, "You're so stupid!"

"You can help us get on the train, and then wait until we get to the station and ask our relatives to pick us up at the station."

"Hmph!" He threw the feather duster into the bottle in the cabinet and turned around to continue packing his luggage. "Send a telegram to your hometown and tell them we will arrive the day after tomorrow."

"Then buy us two more tickets!"

Gu Weijun slapped his forehead, yes, so there are always more solutions than difficulties. He has the space at hand and has never considered this problem. Moreover, the train is direct and there is no need to change trains. It really works.

Okay, just cooperate and call the telegram, buy the tickets, and be a porter.

After finishing the telegram, he found a relationship and bought two sleeper berths. Early the next morning, Gu Weijun drove the jeep directly to the station with a car full of packages, put Gu Ma and Qin Huairu on the train, and then went to the diplomatic service. Ministry of work.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was originally located at No. 31, Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street. In 66, it was moved to Dongjiaomin Lane due to cracks in the main building caused by the Xingtai, Hebei, earthquake. In 70, it was moved to Dongsi because the office staff increased to more than 3000 people.

After Gu Weijun came to work at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he had nothing to talk to. He heard that the children of the previous Ministry of Foreign Affairs were free to wander around the old office building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Most of them ate and watched movies in the big cafeteria. Their parents worked overtime at night. You can also use hot milk and steamed egg custard in the canteen.

But now many children have grown up and either go to the countryside or go to the May 7th Cadre School with their parents.

In addition, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs often sent people to Inner Mongolia in winter to hunt yellow sheep, improve food, and perform tooth sacrifices. They rode motorcycles in front and used machine guns to sweep the sheep, followed by jeeps to pick them up. After returning, they mobilized a large number of employees to skin the sheep and divide the mutton.

So the children in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are not afraid of the mutton smell when eating mutton.

The office that Gu Weijun works in should be called the Department of Western Europe and Africa to be precise. He understands that his position is Assistant to the Director, with a section level (deputy department level salary), and his monthly salary is 136.6, plus various subsidies and hidden benefits. More than 150 yuan.

Moreover, because the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has to frequently receive foreign guests, it can often bring some food and other items that are not commonly seen outside from the state guesthouse. Occasionally, colleagues stationed abroad will bring back some foreign specialties, and everyone will share a share.

Another thing that makes Gu Weijun satisfied with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is that there are many vehicles. There is a special transportation department. There is also a "Mercedes 600" of this era that is the car of Foreign Minister Chen. It is said that there are no more than 10 such cars in the world. .

And there are also many jeeps that the previous leaders brought over from the army seizures, and there are also some Soviet cars, such as Giese, Volga, and Warsaw.

In this way, Gu Weijun is not so conspicuous when he drives to and from get off work every day. Although there will be some gossip, once a vehicle from the Transportation Department came to Gu Weijun because of maintenance problems, he sent someone to pull several old cars directly to the Beijing Second After the car was refurbished, the sound gradually disappeared.

With a "Good morning, Gu Ke!" Gu Weijun's jeep parked directly at the Transportation Section. After greeting his colleagues in the Transportation Section, he took his bag and went straight to the Department of Western Europe and Africa on the third floor of the main building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

When we entered, there were already a group of college students who came in with Gu Weijun last year and were cleaning early.

The office is a large open-plan office with rectangular desks where pairs of people sit.

After Gu Weijun put the bag away, he quickly turned on the water and picked up a rag to wipe the dust. There were many rumors because Gu Weijun served as the assistant to the director as soon as he came in.

The most important thing is that he actually has a certain background.

After simply cleaning the office, Gu Weijun glanced at the news newly assigned to be translated yesterday on his desk, glanced at it, threw it aside, took out the engineering drawings from his bag, and continued drawing.

The college student who had just cleaned quietly walked up behind Gu Weijun to see what he was doing. Gu Weijun immediately closed the door quickly and looked at him coldly.

The other party smiled and walked away, explaining as he walked, "Gu Ke, I just want to see if you need any help?"
