Chapter 24 Partitioning
Li Weidong received his salary for the first time after working as a substitute worker, and Li Weidong received 82 yuan, including a basic salary of 55 yuan and a bonus of 27 yuan.
Eight sheets of "Great Unity" were handed over to her mother Zhou Yunxiu, Zhou Yunxiu's face blossomed, she casually took out two of them, stuffed them into Li Weidong's hand, and said: "Weidong, you are also a cadre now, and you have to socialize on weekdays, so you need to bring some pocket money with you." ”
Li Weidong put the twenty yuan in his pocket, and secretly said in his heart, with twenty yuan of pocket money a month, this is a rich second generation in eighty-four years.
Zhou Yunxiu continued: "The rest of the money, I will deposit it in the bank tomorrow, keep it to marry your daughter-in-law, even if you save fifty yuan a month, you can save enough in a year's work." ”
Three turns and one ring, also known as the four major pieces, is the highest wealth that ordinary people can have in that era, who has the three turns and one ring, which is equivalent to running to a well-off in advance and realizing four modern lives.
The three turns refer to the bicycle, the watch and the sewing machine, while the snap of the fingers refers to the radio.
In the early 80s, three turns and one sound was also an important criterion for most urban women to choose a mate, which is equivalent to having a car and a house now. It can be said that if you collect these four major pieces with three turns and one ring, you can summon a wife.
I only heard Zhou Yunxiu continue to nag: "The bicycle must be bought with a Phoenix brand, and the watch must also be a Shanghai brand, and the two add up to almost 250 yuan." As for the sewing machine, the Plum brand is also good, and it is cheaper than the Panda brand. I bought a radio from Red Star, I took a fancy to one a few days ago, two speakers, sold for 98 yuan, and it adds up to a total of ......"
"Mom, don't be foolish, I'm only sixteen years old this year, and by the time I get married, I'm afraid it won't be popular for a long time. Li Weidong said with a smile.
"If it's not popular, what is popular?" Zhou Yunxiu asked subconsciously.
"Color TV, refrigerator, washing machine, and tape recorder!" Li Weidong replied with a smile.
"Don't talk nonsense, how can we ordinary people afford that kind of good thing. Zhou Yunxiu said.
For ordinary people at that time, using "three turns and one ring" was considered to be well-off, where would they dare to expect household appliances such as color TVs and refrigerators.
However, by the end of the eighties, the "three turns and one ring" had been replaced by the "new four major pieces".
The new four major items are televisions, refrigerators, washing machines and tape recorders. At that time, the young man, with Fei Xiang's long flowing hair, turned on the tape recorder and sang a song "A Fire in Winter", two words: fashionable!
......
At dinner, his younger brother Li Weimin tried all kinds of ways to ask for pocket money, but Zhou Yunxiu refused. For a scumbag, asking for pocket money is indeed an international problem.
In the end, Li Weidong took out two cents and secretly gave it to his younger brother, Li Weimin took the money and ran out happily, not knowing where he went crazy.
Li Weidong sat on the radio and accompanied his father to listen to a Peking opera.
"Piercing the forest and crossing the snow and the sky, rushing into the sky......"
Today's broadcast on the radio is "Outwitting Tiger Mountain".
While Li Weidong was waiting for the "Heavenly King Covering the Tiger and the River Demon of Pagoda Town", his mind couldn't help but think of the "Do Not Disturb" made by Cui Dashan at noon.
Li Weidong in his previous life, his love life was not smooth.
When Li Weidong first joined the work, state-owned enterprises were very popular, and the employees of state-owned enterprises did not worry about finding a partner, but Li Weidong was still too young at that time to get married.
A few years later, when Li Weidong reached the marriageable age, he happened to encounter a large-scale bankruptcy of state-owned enterprises in the early 90s, and Li Weidong himself became a laid-off worker, and he talked about a girlfriend and blew it, after all, no one wants to marry a laid-off worker.
After that, Li Weidong went to RB as a trainee, and although he made some money, he was already an older young man when he returned to China. The key is that Li Weidong at that time did not have a formal job, and an older unemployed young man obviously couldn't find a partner.
Later, Li Weidong started his own business, the days of entrepreneurship were very difficult, and he had no time to worry about personal problems, and when he succeeded in his career more than ten years later, he was already a middle-aged greasy uncle in his forties.
Fortunately, Li Weidong at that time was a rich middle-aged greasy uncle, for the sake of money, there would be no shortage of young and beautiful little girls around Li Weidong, who were willing to communicate with him in simple terms.
In the end, Li Weidong was a beast and married a wife who was more than 20 years younger than him, and the wife was completely for Li Weidong's money, while Li Weidong valued the other party's beautiful body, and the two sides could be said to take what they needed. This kind of marriage has no love and is more like a sale.
Perhaps this is the pain of the rich, and ordinary people have no chance to experience it.
"If I continue to stay in the transportation company, I may still be like in my last life, almost mixed up with an old bachelor, and finally marry a beautiful body. Well, maybe for many men, that's the ultimate dream! Hey, men are so vulgar!" Li Weidong showed a look of disdain.
......
In a blink of an eye, it was New Year's Day in 1985, and Qinghe Transportation Company also held an annual staff meeting.
At this meeting, in addition to the cliché, there was another important thing, that is, the company's new family building was about to be completed.
In big cities, as early as the fifties and sixties, one after another tube buildings were built to solve the housing problem of workers. In small cities, buildings are a rarity.
After all, it is the era of planned economy, and it is very troublesome to build a building, and it is necessary to apply to various competent units layer by layer, and then approve layer by layer, so that you can get the cement, masonry and other materials used in the construction from the plan.
After the reform and opening up, materials have become more and more abundant, and it has become easier for small and medium-sized cities to build family buildings, and enterprises and institutions have begun to build their own family buildings.
At that time, it was only necessary to go to the family area of the unit to take a walk around the family building to see if the family building was built in a grand manner, and then you would know whether the efficiency of the unit was good or not.
If it is an enterprise with very poor efficiency, it will certainly not be able to build a family building; an enterprise with average efficiency will also build a relatively ordinary family building, which is 50 or 60 square meters per household.
For enterprises with good benefits, family buildings will be built very magnificently, such as monopoly state-owned enterprises such as electricity and oil, and the area of a household can even reach 80 square meters, and the family area will have its own boiler, heating in winter, hot water supply at regular intervals every day, and no need to go to the public bathhouse for bathing.
Qinghe Transportation Company is about to complete a total of two family buildings, four floors high, each building has three units, the two buildings are a total of 48 households, each household area is about 60 square meters, three bedrooms, one living room and one bathroom design.
Dividing a house has always been a big thing, and for enterprises and institutions, every time a house is divided, it is a bloody war. The transportation company has thousands of employees, and 48 suites are definitely not enough. Fortunately, this is only the first phase, and the eight family buildings in the second phase have also started construction now, and it is estimated that they will be completed next year.
According to the practice of state-owned enterprise distribution, the nine people in the leading group of the transportation company must have a new house for each household. The remaining 39 houses will be allocated to the company's middle-level cadres according to seniority. Those who can't get it can only wait for the next batch.
The leader talked about the completion of the two family buildings on the rostrum, but Li Weidong, who was sitting below, had a small abacus in his heart:
"These 48 houses, I have to find a way to get one!"
