In the family courtyard of Qinghe Transportation Company, Wang Haibin just walked to the door of the house, and saw his eldest son Wang Lei walking out of the house, seemingly not planning to eat at home.

Wang Haibin really wanted to go up and slap Wang Lei, but he thought that he was his own son, so he finally forgot it.

In addition to Wang Lei, Wang Haibin also has two daughters, the eldest daughter was not admitted to the technical secondary school and can only go to high school, and the second daughter is still in junior high school.

After 70 years, the country's fertility policy has become late, rare, and few, that is, advocating late marriage and late childbearing, lengthening the birth spacing, and giving birth to only two children. Wang Haibin can be regarded as responding to the call of the country and did not have a fourth child.

At this time, Wang Haibin regretted a little, he felt that he should have another son, after all, the tuba has been abolished, and if the trumpet is practiced well, he can get back another game.

But after 80 years, the country has begun to implement the family planning policy, and Wang Haibin can give birth, but he does not dare to have another child.

When Wang Haibin returned home, he did not completely take off his army green coat, but put the coat on his body, and then went to the briquette stove, put the kettle on it by the way, and muttered to himself: "In winter, the weather is cold, and even the briquettes cost more." ”

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and I only heard someone shouting outside: "Brother-in-law, are you at home, brother-in-law, I'm Zhong Zhao!"

Wang Haibin opened the door and saw his brother-in-law Zhong Zhao standing at the door, still carrying a bag of snacks in his hand.

Zhong Zhao is Wang Haibin's brother-in-law, who also works at the Qinghe Transportation Company and is a head of the personnel department.

In those days, it was common for a family to work in the same state-owned enterprise.

Zhong Zhao handed the dim sum to Wang Haibin's hand, and then said: "Passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, I bought two catties of peach crisp and gave it to the child. ”

The peach crisp in the supply and marketing cooperatives costs three cents a catty, and two catties is six cents, which is equivalent to half a day's salary for ordinary workers.

At that time, there were no high-end dim sum, and peach crisp was the best delicacy in the hearts of children. Visiting relatives and friends with two catties of peach crisp not only looks face-saving, but also very sincere.

Wang Haibin took the peach cake, and then received it in the locked cabinet, and said at the same time: "Come on, come on, what else will it cost." Eat at my place in the evening, I'll let your sister stir-fry more, let's have a drink. ”

"Don't bother, just cook a noodle. Zhong Zhao said and also did it in front of the briquette stove: "It's better to add me another egg." ”

After a while, Wang Haibin took a bottle of liquor, took a plate of peanuts and a plate of pickled dried radish, and drank it with his brother-in-law Zhong Zhao.

"Brother-in-law, the construction site of the family building has been completed, and in the spring of next year, it will be officially divided, I heard that among the 48 suites, there is one set of yours." Zhong Zhao said with envy.

"I'm also lucky, the company's leaders have taken away 9 sets, and the remaining 39 sets, the middle-level cadres of the whole company are not enough at all, and there are many old comrades with high seniority who are also eyeing this house. Wang Haibin said.

Wang Haibin seems to be showing off, you see that there are so many middle-level cadres in the company, and there are so many old comrades, they can't get a house, I, Wang Haibin, can get a house, isn't it very capable?

Zhong Zhao could naturally hear the meaning of Wang Haibin's words, but he still had to rely on this brother-in-law who was the director of procurement in the transportation company, so Zhong Zhao could only flatter Wang Haibin for his boasting.

I only heard Zhong Zhao speak: "Brother-in-law, when you divide the building, it's time to find a partner for Wang Lei, right? Wang Lei's child is not too young, it's time to start a family." ”

"Hey, when it comes to this little brute, I get angry, I don't study well all day long, I fool around with some young people in society every day, and I don't know how to be motivated at all. Wang Haibin looked like he hated that iron could not become steel.

Zhong Zhao opened his mouth and asked: "Brother-in-law, didn't you say a few days ago that after the New Year, you would give Wang Lei a regular? ”

"Turn positive?" Wang Haibin sighed: "At least next year there will be no play." ”

"Why? Didn't you say that you were nine out of ten?" Zhong Zhao asked.

"It's not because of that Li Weidong, if he gives the workshop to Wang Lei, Wang Lei will be able to turn positive. Wang Haibin said hatefully.

"Li Weidong, the son of old Accountant Li? Didn't he get 250 tires a few days ago and change them to work? That kid is only 16 years old, and he is working on a job-for-work basis, and his salary is higher than mine. Zhong Zhao said.

Although Zhong Zhao is the head of the personnel department, he is still a worker, and his salary is naturally not as good as that of Li Weidong, who works for work.

If you don't have a degree or a good father, then you can boil it slowly, and you may not be able to get a cadre establishment for twenty or thirty years.

I only heard Zhong Zhao continue: "A few days ago, several waves of people came to our personnel department to inquire about Li Weidong's situation. There are our company's and brother's units. ”

"Why did they inquire about Li Weidong? Is that Li Weidong offended?" Wang Haibin asked with a gloating expression.

"It's not. Those who inquired about Li Weidong wanted to introduce him to someone. Zhong Zhao picked up a peanut, put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and said a little vaguely: "Brother-in-law, do you think, at the age of sixteen, you will work instead of working, and in a few years, you will be able to get the cadre establishment safely! Even if you can't get the cadre establishment, the salary is more than 80 yuan a month, who girl doesn't look greedy!"

Wang Haibin pouted, this answer made him very unhappy.

Zhong Zhao continued: "But recently, this Li Weidong is not in the company, it seems that he is on a business trip. ”

"I know this, I'm going to Jeseong, come with me. Wang Haibin said, he couldn't help but think of the first-grade tofu, and suddenly felt that the peanuts and dried radish were not fragrant.

Zhong Zhao asked, "Brother-in-law, why didn't he come back with you?"

"I remember that he seemed to have been left behind by the Yellow River Factory to help him, but I don't know the specifics. Wang Haibin paused, and then asked, "How do you know that he hasn't returned?"

"Brother-in-law, don't forget, I'm in the personnel department, and I'm in charge of attendance. I just saw the attendance sheet in the auto repair workshop today, and that Li Weidong hasn't come to work for more than 20 days!" Zhong Zhao replied.

"You mean twenty days, not a week?" Wang Haibin suddenly came to his senses.

"It's twenty days. Zhong Zhao nodded.

"You're not mistaken?" Wang Haibin looked more and more excited.

"The attendance sheet is clearly written in black and white, how can this be wrong!" Zhong Zhao said.

Wang Haibin put down the chopsticks in his hand, and after thinking for a few seconds, he asked again: "Li Weidong hasn't been to work for the past 20 days, has your personnel department received a travel slip or a leave slip, the kind signed by the leader?"

Zhong Zhao thought for a while and shook his head: "That's not true, but the attendance sheet of the auto repair workshop says that Li Weidong is on a business trip." Since it is written so on the attendance sheet, at least Cui Dashan allowed it. ”

"If you don't have a travel list signed by the leader, that's absenteeism!" Wang Haibin showed a grim smile on his face.

"Brother-in-law, this kind of thing, although there is no leader to sign, but the workshop director Cui Dashan has approved it. Taking advantage of the opportunity of a business trip to play outside for a few more days, or to visit relatives and friends by the way, it is also a common thing in our company. People's own departments have acquiesced, and when they come to our personnel department, they don't hold officials accountable, and turn a blind eye. Zhong Zhao said very casually.

"Turn a blind eye, but after all, it's a violation of the company system, right?" Wang Haibin continued: "Let me ask you, according to the company system, Cui Dashan, as the director of the auto repair workshop, can approve a maximum of a few days of vacation?"

"One day of personal leave, three days of sick leave, five days of business trips, and if you exceed it, you have to write a note to the company leader to sign. Zhong Zhao replied honestly.

"Isn't that enough! Li Weidong doesn't have a fake note, isn't it just absenteeism!" Wang Haibin narrowed his eyes, and then said: "According to the company's regulations, what punishment should be imposed for absenteeism for more than ten days?"

"Suspension of wages and bonuses for one month, plus a serious warning. Zhong Zhao replied.

"Huh. Wang Haibin's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said ruthlessly: "Your nephew who was harmed by Li Weidong has not turned positive, you know what to do, right?"
