On the way home, Li Weidong bought two yuan of braised pig's head meat, which was more than a pound.

Later, Li Weidong sold another bottle of Qinghe Tequ, planning to have a drink with Mr. Li Dengke when he returned home.

Li Weidong is only seventeen years old, and on weekdays, Mr. Li does not allow Li Dengke to drink, but today Li Weidong was admitted to the dispatcher, so he should celebrate.

When Li Weidong returned home, Li Weimin had already returned from school, and he seemed to be doing his homework at the desk, but he was actually in a fugue.

Li Dengke did not listen to the radio, but held a newspaper in his hand and read it with relish.

Her mother, Zhou Yunxiu, was cooking on the balcony.

Old-fashioned residential buildings do not have air ducts, and naturally there is no special kitchen, if you fry vegetables in the room, it will inevitably make the house full of oil smoke, so the balcony has become a good place to cook.

In the eighteen-fifth year, the balcony was not sealed with glass, and when cooking on the balcony, the smell of fried vegetables would quickly dissipate with the wind. Whenever I arrive at the hotel, I can always smell the fragrance of Wanjia kitchen on the balcony.

As soon as Li Weidong entered the door, he shouted at Old Man Li: "Dad, I've been admitted to the dispatcher!"

"Admitted to the dispatcher? It's a good thing!" Li Dengke put down the newspaper and continued: "It seems that today is still a double happiness!"

"Double happiness?" Li Weidong subconsciously looked at Brother Pit who was writing his homework, and then asked, "Did Weimin pass the exam?"

Li Weimin was still sitting there doing his homework, his face expressionless, and when he saw this scene, Li Weidong knew that he had guessed wrong.

Li Dengke opened his mouth and explained: "It's your brother-in-law Guangzhi, who has been transferred to the Xijiao Sub-district Office. ”

"Brother-in-law is not a teacher anymore, isn't he just promoted to the head of the grade!" Li Weidong asked in surprise.

"The head of the year is only a position in the school, not a formal leadership position, and it is different to go to the street office, it is a formal leadership position, and it can be regarded as a formal career. Li Dengko explained.

"What level is that brother-in-law now?" asked Li Weidong.

He has just arrived at the Xijiao Sub-district Office, and he is still the assistant director, and it is estimated that in a year or two, he will be promoted to deputy director of the sub-district office. Li Dengke said with a smile.

Li Dengke has kept a low profile all his life and has no chance to be an official. Now that he has a son-in-law who has entered the official career, although he is the most basic sesame mung bean petty official, he still makes Li Dengke very happy.

Li Weidong is clear about the career journey of his second brother-in-law Yao Guangzhi.

Yao Guangzhi is a full twelve years older than Li Weidong, and he was nearly thirty years old before he reached the deputy section level, which is no longer a young man.

Moreover, in places like the sub-district office, there is not much chance of promotion. Yao Guangzhi was finally promoted to the director of the sub-district office, and that was the end of it.

Most of the most basic civil servants are like this. It's like the kind of people who have risen all the way, but there are very few civil servants.

......

Early the next morning, Li Weidong rode the 28th bar to the dispatch department to report, and along the way, he inevitably received several waves of attention.

The news that Li Weidong was admitted to the dispatcher has spread in the transportation company, which gives Li Weidong another layer of aura. At the age of 17, Li Weidong worked as a worker, lived in a building, and was also the most promising dispatcher in the company, Li Weidong spent less than a year to complete the dream of many employees of the transportation company for half a lifetime.

Such a figure, walking in a transportation company, is of course in the spotlight. Everywhere Li Weidong passed, all kinds of envious eyes came, and at the same time, there were some voices of discussion.

"That's Li Weidong, I heard that he was admitted to the dispatcher of the freight department. ”

"The test questions of the dispatcher of the freight department this time are very difficult, and there are only a handful of passes, and Li Weidong can get a full score in the test, which is really amazing!"

"It turns out that Li Weidong is studying so well, if he had known about it, he should have been allowed to take the secondary school examination. ”

"People are already regular employees, do they need to take the technical secondary school exam?"

"That's right, it should be going to high school, going to university, and college students are cadres when they work. ”

According to this situation, perhaps he will be able to obtain a formal cadre establishment before he is 20 years old. That's better than a college student!"

In 85 years, it was more difficult to take the technical secondary school examination than to take the high school examination, because after graduating from the technical secondary school, the state was assigned work, and under the situation that the urban youth were difficult to find employment at that time, it was the ultimate dream pursued by many junior high school students to be admitted to the technical secondary school.

Especially for rural students, being able to be admitted to a technical secondary school means that they can enter enterprises in the future, eat "treasury grain", and completely get rid of the identity of farmers.

At that time, among the junior high school graduates, many students who studied well chose technical secondary school or middle school teachers, and those who studied generally went to high school, and those who studied poorly began to look for jobs directly.

People who are admitted to high school must want to go to college, college students in the 80s are still quite valuable, after graduating from college, the state is also assigned work, and college students enter the enterprise is a cadre establishment.

In addition, normal students are also very popular, public teachers in the 80s are also managed with reference to the cadre establishment, and normal students not only have comprehensive tuition fees, but also have additional living allowances every month, which means that tuition and living expenses are all paid by the state. Many students with excellent grades but poor families eventually choose to study at teachers' colleges.

In the eyes of ordinary people, being able to be admitted to a technical secondary school and then assigned to work in a state-owned enterprise is a great way out;

However, compared with Li Weidong, college graduates are bleak. After graduating from university, it is nothing more than a cadre establishment, and 17-year-old Li Weidong is now working as a substitute for work.

Going to college is nothing more than a good job with a future and high salary, and Li Wei also has all of these. What's more, it takes four years to go to college, and Li Weidong has a salary of 80 yuan a month.

In those times of general poverty, it may have been more affordable to get a salary a few years earlier and improve family life than to go to college.

......

Li Weidong came to the dispatching department and reported to Luo Bing, the dispatching chief, who personally took Li Weidong to familiarize himself with the situation of the freight department.

Li Weidong is no stranger to the freight department, he also worked as a dispatcher in his previous life, and he is very familiar with the various businesses of the freight department.

However, seeing that Luo Bing was so enthusiastic, Li Weidong couldn't refuse, so he could only pretend to be unfamiliar and listen to Luo Bing's introduction.

Zhao Guodong, the director of the freight department, took a fancy to Li Weidong, so Luo Bing also showed enough attention to Li Weidong.

Last year, when the freight department was most short of tires, Li Weidong got the 250 tires to solve the urgent need of the freight department, and since then, Li Weidong has been registered in the freight department.

This year's 15 heavy-duty trucks have increased the capacity of the freight department by a quarter. It can be said that what Li Weidong has done in the past half a year has helped the freight department, and Zhao Guodong has a natural favorability towards Li Weidong.

In the dispatcher exam, Li Weidong showed a super high level, especially the last question, Luo Bing himself did not answer correctly, but Li Weidong answered correctly, this alone made Luo Bing look at Li Weidong with admiration.

After returning to the dispatch room, Luo Bing arranged a seat for Li Weidong and helped him apply for office supplies, and then asked, "Xiao Li, have you ever been to Jinmen?"

"Haven't been. Li Weidong shook his head.

Jinmen is also a big city in China, and Li Weidong in his previous life has naturally been there, but in this life, Li Weidong has not been to Jinmen, not even Handong Province.

"Do you want to go, if you want to go, then the day after tomorrow I will go with me to Jinmen, when the time comes, I will invite you to eat the most authentic pancakes and fruits, as well as Goubuli buns, and then take you to see the scenery." Luo Bing said with a smile.

"Captain Luo, are you going on a business trip to Jinmen?" asked Li Weidong.

Luo Bing nodded: "Set off the day after tomorrow, stay in Jinmen for a day, and then come back, when the time comes, you should be able to squeeze out an afternoon to walk around Jinmen." ”

In the 80s, the cost of going far was relatively high, and at that time, business trips were equivalent to publicly-funded tourism, especially to big cities or cities with scenic spots, and everyone rushed to go.

If you go to Beijing or Shanghai, your relatives and colleagues will also ask you to bring some things back, which is similar to going abroad to buy.

The supply of goods in large cities has always been much more abundant than in smaller cities, especially in times of scarcity. In big cities like Beijing, Tianjin, and Shanghai, there were more than one state-run department stores in the fifties, while in small cities, you have to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy things.

Luo Bing proposed to take Li Weidong to Jinmen, which was quite a chance to give Li Weidong a chance to travel, which could be regarded as welfare.

For Li Weidong, there is nothing to visit in Jinmen in 85 years, but the time-honored dog ignores the buns, which is still very tempting.

In later generations, the dog ignored the bun and it was a pit person, the taste was unpalatable and expensive, and everyone who went felt that they had paid the IQ tax.

However, the dog ignores the 80-year-old state-run steamed bun shop, but it is a real thin-skinned stuffing with eighteen pleats, and the taste is commendable. Although the price is still a little more expensive than other foods, it is definitely worth the money.

Li Weidong is not really greedy, but he is just reliving his life, of course, he wants to experience things that he has not experienced in his previous life.

"The authentic Jinmen dog is ignored, and the future generations can no longer eat it, so it is better to take this opportunity to go to Jinmen and taste the dog ignoring it in this era. ”

Thinking of this, Li Weidong nodded and replied, "Captain Luo, I'll go to Jinmen with you." ”

"Okay, tomorrow morning, let's go straight to the station, and then we will go to the train station together. Luo Bing said.

"Director Luo, how many people are going this time?" asked Li Weidong.

"If you count you, it should be thirty-two people!" replied Luo Bing.

"So many people?" Li Weidong pondered for a while, then asked, "Are you going to pick up the car?"

"How do you know you're going to pick up the car?" asked Luo Bing.

"What our freight department can send is the driver. Thirty drivers at a time, and only for three days, I can't think of any other possibilities than to pick up the car. Li Weidong then asked: "Has our company bought a new car again?"

"It's not our company, a batch of cars were imported from Jinmen Port, and the Qinghe Foreign Trade Bureau got a quota of 30 cars, borrowed our driver, and drove the car back. In addition to our transportation company, other units could not find 30 drivers. However, our drivers are not in vain, and among the thirty cars, two will be allocated to our company. Luo Bing explained.

"Do you know what kind of car it is?" asked Li Weidong with interest.

"It's half pulling!" Luo Bing's answer didn't want to pick up the car, but more like driving.
