At the same time, from the home of Gu Jiacheng, deputy director of the Retirement Management Office.

"Lao Gu, what's wrong with you?"

His wife, Li Fengying, looked at her husband who was sitting on the balcony smoking a cigarette and asked worriedly.

Gu Jiacheng looked up at Li Fengying and asked, "Fengying, do you think I'm the deputy director of the department?"

"Well, Lao Gu, are you okay?" Li Fengying said in surprise.

Gu Jiacheng just turned 40 years old this year, and being able to become the deputy director is already very good among his peers. When Li Fengying usually chats with the little sisters, who doesn't envy her husband for being a middle-level cadre. Although the retirement management office is only an unpopular department, the deputy director is the deputy director after all, and he is better than a large number of colleagues in the factory who are in their 40s and have just mixed into section-level cadres.

In the past, Gu Jiacheng was also quite satisfied with his position, and every time he came back from a reunion with his old classmates, he would proudly boast to Li Fengying, saying that his classmates had asked him to sit in the seat, and how many people toasted him. But now, he actually said that he was boring as the deputy director, what kind of madness is this

"You say, if I had stayed in the workshop and hadn't been transferred to the agency, wouldn't it be better?" Gu Jiacheng asked again.

"What do you mean by this" Li Fengying's eyes were stunned, "My dad took so much effort to transfer you out of the workshop, and I'm sorry for you, isn't it?"

"No, no, Feng Ying, you know I don't mean that!" Gu Jiacheng hurriedly defended, for fear that a disagreement would cause a civil war.

Li Fengying's father was the factory leader of the original Linyi machine, and Gu Jiacheng was a riveter in the large parts workshop at that time. Gu Jiacheng is extremely talented, he can learn everything thoroughly, and soon became one of the top technical experts in the large-scale workshop, and he has been a model worker in the whole factory for several years. Li Fengying's father took a fancy to him because of this, and asked Tan Hongliang, the director of the large workshop, to be a matchmaker and married Li Fengying to Gu Jiacheng.

With a father-in-law who was the leader of the factory, Gu Jiacheng rose to prominence, first "work instead of work", transferred to the production department as a deputy section chief, and then officially transferred to the cadre establishment, and then promoted to section chief and deputy director. When he was promoted to deputy director, there was no vacant position in the production department, so the factory asked him to take up a post in the retirement department, although it did not match his major, but it was a deputy director-level position, and he was happy to go to take office.

Deputy Director Gu Jiacheng did not rely on the help of his father-in-law, who had retired at this time, but this did not affect his promotion. The capital of his promotion is the number of model worker titles he has won before. The rule of "learning and excelling in science" is true in all fields, and you don't see many scientists who change their careers to become officials after receiving honorary titles, and the result is that there is one less elite in the scientific community and one more fool in the officialdom.

"Gu Jiacheng, you tell me something clear today, what do you mean that the people of our Li family have delayed you, you just say it clearly, you don't have to say it. Li Fengying was annoyed.

In the past, when this husband talked about leaving the workshop, he was full of gratitude to his old father-in-law, saying that if it wasn't for his father-in-law's support, he would still be wielding a sledgehammer in the workshop. It's good now, it's only been a few years since my father retired, and this guy actually said that it would be better if he didn't come out of the workshop, which is obviously the performance of someone outside!

"Feng Ying, you listen to me......" Gu Jiacheng was helpless, he beckoned his wife with a tiger face to sit down, and then said: "You don't know, the factory has just launched a policy, ready to select 20 'master craftsmen' in the workshop, that is, the best skilled workers in the factory." I met Director Tan today, he said that there are few people in the large workshop who can pick up the beams, if I am still in the large workshop, this title of 'master craftsman' will definitely be given to me. ”

"What kind of 'master craftsman', what level is it" Li Fengying asked angrily. She worked as an administrator in the factory archives department, and she didn't pay much attention to the big things in the factory on weekdays, so she didn't know about it.

Gu Jiacheng said: "There is no level, but if you are rated as a master, the factory will give you a special allowance every month, guess how much money you have."

"How much, there are 50 no" Li Fengying asked casually. Of course, 50 yuan is also a lot of income for the employees of Linyi Machine, but if it is compared with the position of a deputy director, it is nothing. The post allowance of the deputy director is also 50, and there can be some other gray income, which cannot be compared with an ordinary worker.

"1,000 yuan!" Gu Jiacheng raised a finger and said to Li Fengying. In order to emphasize the weight of this "1", he made enough effort to stretch the finger so that it could be used as a cement nail.

"1,000 yuan!" Li Fengying shouted in a lost voice, raised her hand to cover her mouth, and then looked at Gu Jiacheng with a mixture of horror and excitement.

Gu Jiacheng nodded: "Isn't it, when I first heard about this policy, I was also shocked." But looking back, I can't help but admire the courage of Director Zhou. I think about why I was willing to come out of the workshop, isn't it because there is no head in the workshop, even if I work to the seventh level or the eighth level worker, that is, a salary of more than 200 yuan, any small staff member in the agency can make it difficult for you, and you will have no face when you go out.

"But with this policy, who dares to look down on the workers, don't say that we are in Linyi, that is, in the entire Linhe City, there are a few people who can get a salary of 1,000 yuan, if anyone dislikes me as a worker, Lao Tzu will take the money and stone him to death!"

"You mean, you want to go back to the workshop" Li Fengying returned to reality and asked Gu Jiacheng with mixed emotions. An allowance of 1,000 yuan, who can resist this temptation.

Gu Jiacheng nodded: "I'm a little tempted." I, the deputy director, is a beautiful place, but I don't earn more money than others, and I deal with the retired workers in the factory every day, and I send a warm or something during the New Year, which is boring. I was thinking just now, if I work for a few more years, maybe the whole person will be wasted, except for being able to play official, I can't do anything else, isn't it a pity that I have a lot of ability?"

"However, if you go back to the workshop, what can you do?" asked Li Fengying.

Gu Jiacheng said: "At my level, I should be the deputy director when I go to the workshop. But there is now a deputy director in the large workshop, Director Tan said that if I go back, I can only be a section leader, that is, the section level, and the deputy director-level treatment can be retained, but it must be on the production line. ”

"It's been so long, and I'm going back to pick up the sledgehammer......" Li Fengying muttered in a low voice.

"But I can earn an extra 1,000 yuan a month, 12,000 a year, and 120,000 yuan in 10 years. If you think about it, a three-bedroom house in Linhe City is only 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, and I can buy a house after five or six years. Gu Jiacheng said excitedly.

"Or, ask Dad what he means about this."

"I'm sure I'll have to discuss it with Dad. However, I have already decided, tomorrow I will go to tell Director Zhang, I ask to be transferred back to the workshop! Fengying, do you think we want to buy a house in Linhe City, which one is the best?"

"I think the edge of Fengshui Lake is good, the scenery is good, and the community is very beautiful......"

"Buy!"

Here, the Gu family began to fantasize about taking their grandson to take a walk in the high-end community by Fengshui Lake, and in another place, Qi Yunfu, a retired foundry worker who was actually taking his grandson to play swings in the family courtyard of the Municipal Food Bureau, ushered in a group of uninvited guests.

"Mingliang, Mengyun, Zhiming, why are you here today?"

Qi Yunfu looked at the few people in front of him, so strange. Yu Mingliang, Cai Mengyun, and Gao Zhiming are all apprentices brought by Qi Yunfu, and now they are all working as foundries in the foundry workshop. These apprentices still have a lot of respect for him as a master, and they will come to visit him every New Year's Day, but at this time, it is not a New Year's Day, but several people come to the door together, and they are all carrying large bags of pastries and fruits in their hands, which looks very grand, which is a little abnormal.

What made Qi Yunfu feel most incredible was that Cai Mengyun also hugged a huge remote-controlled toy car, which must have been given to his little grandson. Qi Yunfu knew about this kind of toy car, and heard that one cost more than 50 yuan, and the little grandson asked his son to buy it several times, but his son was reluctant. Qi Yunfu was still discussing with his wife yesterday, planning to use his own money to buy one for his little grandson, but he has not yet put it into action. But now, Cai Mengyun actually brought such a car over, which definitely didn't mean to come and visit the master casually.

"Xiaoyu, look what Auntie brought you. ”

Cai Mengyun started directly with Qi Yunfu's little grandson first, and stuffed the toy car into the child's hand.

The little grandson is also sensible, although his eyes are staring at the car, he refuses to stretch out his hand, and turns back to Qi Yunfu with an inquiring look.

Qi Yunfu hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Mengyun, this can't be helped, this car is too expensive, we can't accept it." ”

"Master, look at what you said, it's just a car, for children to play with. You've taught us so much, why don't we buy a toy for our child? Cai Mengyun said it lightly, as if it was a car for five cents.

"You ...... , what's the matter?" Qi Yunfu looked at the apprentices and asked hesitantly. Everyone's behavior is not a big thing, and he wants to be a master to go to the thunder

"Actually, there's nothing ......" Gao Zhiming, the oldest of the several people, spoke first, and he said sneeringly: "We just feel that when we learned technology from the master, we didn't study hard, and now we want to ask the master to take time to make up for us." ”

"Yes, we just want to ask the master to make up for us. ”

"Alas, when I used to learn technology from my master, I was too young and ignorant, and now I regret it......"

The other two apprentices also chimed in, their faces full of the words "The Prodigal Son Turns Back".

Qi Yunfu was not stupid, he stared at the apprentices and asked, "You tell me the truth, what happened in the factory, why do you suddenly want to learn technology again?"
