Chapter 175: New Year! Back to work. 2 levels up!
"Dongxu, now that you have got the bicycle, it's almost time to slowly plan for a house. You must not be too hasty about this, or else Yi Zhonghai will become alert and you will be in trouble.
Huairu's task is still the same. She just needs to take care of Yi Zhonghai wholeheartedly. When appropriate, she can even sacrifice some time to take care of me. As for the deaf old lady, she cannot lower her standards and must take care of her. She has to ask about her health and everything from her meals to her toilet.
Now we just need to boil the frog in warm water, step by step. When spring comes and Banggeng goes to school, we can let Banggeng sleep alone, and then we will find a way to get the deaf old lady's house.
As long as we have the house, our family won't have to live in such a humble manner like we do now. We can just go on as usual. It's enough as long as they don't starve to death.
We were planning to buy Dongxu a watch, but we can buy Dongxu a watch when his salary is high. If we buy him a watch now, people will talk about it, so we don’t plan to buy him a watch anymore.”
Yi Zhonghai was immersed in his retirement life. Although the lights were off in Jia Zhang's house, the eyes of the three adults lying on the kang were unusually bright, especially Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu. As for Jia Zhang, she looked at the ceiling with a wise look and made arrangements calmly.
Jia Dongxu and his wife were looking forward to the things that Jia Zhang had planned to realize quickly. Now their family has got a bicycle and a sewing machine, and the only thing missing is a radio.
The couple were both thinking about how much money was in Yi Zhonghai's bag. How much benefit could they get if they took it all out? Moreover, even after all Yi Zhonghai's stuff was taken out, Yi Zhonghai's monthly pension was only a few dozen yuan. It was unknown how many years Jia Dongxu would have to struggle to get a salary as big as Yi Zhonghai's pension.
"We got it, Mom. Go to bed early. Tomorrow is the second day of the Chinese New Year, and we have to go to Huairu's parents' home."
How could Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu not agree with Jia Zhang's plan? They answered Jia Zhang with satisfaction in their hearts, and then asked Jia Zhang to go to bed early because they had to go to her mother-in-law's house on the second day of the New Year.
"Well, I've also talked to Bang Geng about this. Tomorrow morning, let Bang Geng pester Yi Zhonghai to pay for the car fare for the three of you, and then give him some money to buy some things for Huairu's parents. He's relying on you now, so of course he won't spoil your fun, so let's leave a little later tomorrow morning.
I know that life in the countryside is difficult. Now our family’s life is a little better. If I can get more money tomorrow, I can bring some food back to Huairu’s parents and make Huairu proud.”
Jia Zhang also looked like she had seen through it when she heard it and said to the two of them, Jia Dongxu didn't feel anything, but Qin Huairu was different. The village was still a natural village, and everyone divided the land according to the number of people. After she married Jia Dongxu, the land under her head was given to her parents to farm, and they could get a lot every year. Not only did she not have to give anything to her parents in the countryside, but she also brought it home every year.
But since the village was turned into a production team, they could no longer get any benefits in the countryside. In addition, the village had been in a difficult situation in the past two years. Jia Zhang was so disgusted with those poor relatives in the countryside that how could she think of bringing them food?
After all, if she brought some food back to her parents, wouldn't Jia Zhang have to eat less? So this kind of thing would never happen before, but now that their family has started to be wiped out, Jia Zhang actually started to think of her family. Qin Huairu now feels guilty about Yi Zhonghai, but she is also glad to marry Jia Dongxu. Although this news came late and was considered a cold-blooded bun, Qin Huairu was happy with it.
"Thank you, Mom. I will definitely tell my parents that these are all from you and Dongxu."
Qin Huairu said gratefully and couldn't help shedding tears from her eyes. Jia Dongxu felt it and hugged Qin Huairu. He knew what was going on, but everything was getting better now.
Xu Dongsheng was not aware of Jia Yiqin's affairs. Xu Dongsheng stayed overnight at Shen Xiuping's house and had a long chat with Shen Xiuping's grandfather. As they chatted, they both felt that they had met too late. If Xu Dongsheng had not said that he was not interested in this, Shen Xiuping's grandfather would have accepted him as a disciple and become Xu Dongsheng's brother.
In a blink of an eye, it was the third day of the New Year. Xu Dongsheng left Shen Xiuping's house on the second day of the New Year and went to Wang Mantang's house. Although he passed by there yesterday, Xu Dongsheng still didn't go in. It was not because he felt it would take much time, but because Xu Dongsheng was going to bring some food to Wang Mantang's house and make some delicious food there.
The courtyard of Wang Mantang's house is nice. There are only a few families in the courtyard, and they are all honest people. You can eat whatever delicious food you want. So Xu Dongsheng specially prepared food. On the second day of the Chinese New Year, which was the day before the end of the holiday, he went to Wang Mantang's house and ate and drank as much as he wanted.
"Notice, notice, here are two notices. The first one is about the reward for the advanced workers in the steel mill last year.
Last year, our factory achieved excellent results through the unremitting efforts of all the workers and comrades, and received praise from the leaders of the Ministry of Industry. The leaders of the factory committee decided to commend the outstanding employees of our factory and reward them with a teacup, a teapot, a towel, and a radio ticket.
Now I will read out the list of outstanding advanced workers selected by the factory committee leaders and worker representatives: Zhao Youbao from fitter workshop No. 1,… from fitter workshop No. 1,… from fitter workshop No. 2, Xu Dazhuang from forging workshop No. 1,… from forging workshop No. 1,…,…,…Han Desong,…Zhang Shenglei,…Xu Dongsheng,…Sun Youfu.
Another notice was about the promotion of personnel in the steel rolling mill. In the past year, under the leadership of our great leader, all the staff in the factory worked hard, forged ahead, were not afraid of hardships and difficulties, and bravely created outstanding achievements. In particular, many comrades were serious and responsible, selflessly dedicated, and worked day and night to complete the tasks assigned to them.
After investigation, discussion and research by the factory leaders, it has been decided that the personal abilities of the following comrades have seriously exceeded the requirements of their current positions. The factory has decided to promote the following comrades. I hope that all the promoted comrades will not forget their original intentions, keep up the good work and achieve even better results.
The following is a list of promotions recommended by the factory committee leaders: Logistics Production Material Purchasing Section... promoted to the first level, enjoys...; Logistics Production Material Purchasing Section..., enjoys...; Logistics Parts Purchasing Section..., Logistics..., Logistics Material Purchasing Section Xu Dongsheng promoted to the second level, enjoys the monthly salary of the sixth-level clerk, Sales Department Section 1..."
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the first day of work, Xu Dongsheng and Xu Dazhuang rode their bicycles to the steel rolling mill. Although not all the people in the factory had arrived yet, quite a few had already arrived, because according to usual practice, last year's advanced workers and cadres would be commended again today, and there would also be some other important notices.
Sure enough, when Xu Dongsheng and Xu Dongsheng entered the steel mill, they found a group of people gathered in front of the notice wall of the steel mill, obviously reading the notice.
Xu Dongsheng and Xu Dongsheng walked closer and squeezed into the crowd to take a look. As expected, it was the commendation notice about last year and the promotion notice about the factory staff. Moreover, among the two notices, one was about Xu Dazhuang and both were about Xu Dongsheng.
Xu Dongsheng did not expect that Zhou Zhenghua would give him a surprise. He not only promoted him by one level, but directly promoted him by two levels, directly from an eighth-level clerk to a sixth-level clerk.
Now it has increased from thirty-three to forty-three, an increase of ten yuan, not including other rewards. There are several workers in their purchasing department who have been promoted, but there are only two people in the same batch as Xu Dongsheng who were promoted as clerks, and the other one was only promoted one level.
This promotion directly raised Xu Dongsheng's salary by two levels, instantly making Xu Dongsheng's salary the highest among the young people in the hospital. You know, Jia Dongxu, who made Jia Zhangshi and Yi Zhonghai proud, is only a second-level fitter now.
His basic salary is more than 38 yuan, plus all those miscellaneous things, it is only about 41 to 42 yuan at most. Xu Dongsheng, on the other hand, can directly get the salary of a level 6 clerk, which is a level 24 salary. However, his basic salary is one or two yuan higher than Jia Dongxu's.
Xu Dongsheng could even imagine Jia Dongxu's envy, jealousy and hatred towards Xu Dongsheng. Not only Jia Dongxu, Xu Dongsheng felt that all the young people in the hospital were extremely envious and jealous of Xu Dongsheng.
Although it was considered outstanding, Xu Dongsheng was not too worried. After all, there was basically no one in the hospital who could threaten him. Not to mention that he had spies everywhere, he would deal with anyone who wanted to mess with him first. And this was all the result of his hard work, so Xu Dongsheng was happy to accept it.
After Xu Dongsheng and Xu Dazhuang finished reading, they looked at each other and understood that there was no need to publicize this matter and to keep a low profile. Just as Xu Dongsheng and Xu Dazhuang finished reading, the radio station of the steel mill began to broadcast a notice.
