"Lao Gu, congratulations, congratulations! I heard that your daughter was admitted to Zhejiang University?"

"Oops, I've known that Min Min is very well-behaved since I was a child, and at first glance she is a reading material!"

"You're really right to get her back to the city! Boys have a lot of skin. ”

This day is the day when Gu Biao goes home.

Early in the morning, in the office of the technical department of the Qiantang Oxygen Concentrator Factory, my father was surrounded by colleagues who came to Daoxi.

However, it is obvious that these people only know the news that Gu Min was admitted to Zhejiang University, so Daoxi is also targeted, and no one knows Gu Miao's situation.

Who let Gu Biao not send a telegram back to report the good news.

Dad knew in his heart that Gu Biao must have crossed the line, and there was no doubt that he could go to college. It's just that I don't know what school it is, so I've been keeping a low profile lately and not bragging to my colleagues.

After all, if you can't name the specific school, you rashly tell others that "my son is also admitted to university", which will only attract others to ask questions, and maybe it will be misunderstood as bragging.

It's better to keep a low profile for the time being, pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.

But even if it's just the news that her daughter went to Zhejiang University, it's festive enough.

So Dad specially spent a lot of money on the road today, got two whole soft bags and heavy nine, put them in the desk drawer, and scattered cigarettes for Daoxi's colleagues.

"Well said, thank you. ”

"It's all everyone's help, especially Section Chief Wu, if it weren't for Section Chief Wu's righteousness and help me bring Minmin back, how could she be today!"

"I don't have to say, I'll have a drink with everyone at noon. ”

Daddy has been polite for a long time, his mouth is a little closed, and his face is stiff with a smile.

And Daoxi's colleagues also felt that the trip was worthwhile.

Dazhongjiu's cigarette is not easy to buy now, it is the best in the cloud smoke, and it was available in the early years of the Republic of China.

During the indescribable period of ten years, it was once discontinued as a 'feudal remnant and a defeat of luxury'.

As soon as production resumed half a year ago, it instantly became a product with more face than the domestic front door and foreign cigarettes.

The big front door is a pack of five cents, and the health card is not easy to calculate because of the mixed channels.

And the big weight of the hard bag is more than two pieces. The most high-end soft bag selection can be sold for four yuan a box.

Now the wages of workers are raised by half a level, and there is only a difference of 4 yuan per month. If you use it to buy meat to eat, a pack of selected soft weight nine can be exchanged for two three-pound fat hooves.

Therefore, everyone who was scattered into the smoke immediately put the cigarette on his ear, and he was reluctant to let his father light it.

Some workers even put the cigarette in the back, put the softer cigarette body on the ear, and stretched the filter with the word "Da Chong Jiu" forward, lest the people around them not be able to see the words on the filter.

Such a piece on the ear is worth more than the whole bag of roses and Huang Liqun that most workers smoked.

Over time, my father also realized this situation, and he was afraid that the etiquette would not be careful, so he insisted on scattering at least two per person: one was clamped on the ear, and the other was lit and smoked on the spot.

I have been busy until the meal, and the technical department has not done much work, and the drawings are half undrawn, so I am busy ushering in the delivery. Fortunately, the New Year is approaching, and there is little work, which can be regarded as the decadent characteristics of state-owned enterprises.

Seeing that it was time to eat, a few more section chiefs and bigger leaders from the administrative entrance came to say goodbye - most of the section leaders, team leaders, workers and technicians of the workshop came in the morning.

The people at the second-line administrative entrance will not run this way without anything, and they will only come over after dinner.

When Dad saw it, he hurriedly took out several packs of Dazhongjiu that had not been opened, and scattered cigarettes according to the treatment of one pack per person.

While scattering, he said: "Yo, isn't this Section Chief Xu, your family is not bad for the founding of the country, it's Qiantang University, right?"

It turned out that my father was afraid that he would be too high-profile to attract hatred, so he first recognized Section Chief Xu of the Finance Department and rejoiced with him.

Section Chief Xu's son has just been admitted to Qiantang University, although it is not as well-known as Zhejiang University, but it is also ranked second in the province.

This year, thousands of employees in the whole factory, and the children of eight cadres' families were admitted to university. So as long as you can be admitted, no matter what school you are, at least you can get the envy of hundreds of people.

Section Chief Xu obviously laughed all morning, and only when he arrived at the door of Gu Yong's office did he put on a modest expression. After being pulled into the water by my father, I only stretched my modesty for five seconds, and I almost couldn't hold it anymore:

"Alas, Lao Gu, don't scold me, how can my country's founding be as good as your family's Minmin. Qiantang University is bigger than Zhejiang University, so it's a big one. ”

Dad can also have emotional intelligence, and said sincerely: "Eh, you can't say that." Isn't your country's founding of the country a political department, and the school's specialty is also specialized, Zhejiang University is strong in science and engineering, and liberal arts are not as big as money.

No matter how well my family Minmin reads, he will be engaged in technology all his life. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, your son will inherit his father's business, and maybe the future will be limitless, and he will become an official all the way. ”

Hearing this, Section Chief Xu's face was slightly blooming with a smile, and he didn't bother to pretend to be modest anymore, obviously very useful.

The only one in the factory who has a child admitted to Zhejiang University, all of them put gold on the face of him, the parent of Hangzhou University, is there anything more face-saving?

In Section Chief Xu's heart, he even subconsciously decided: "Next time Lao Gu comes to reimburse the business trip ticket, I must report him a little more!"

However, at this moment, an inopportune cold snort next to him stabbed over:

"Hmph, just a Qiantang University, I'm embarrassed to say how big an official I will be in the future, bureaucracy! The Department of Mathematics of Zhejiang University is also in retreat, and when it comes out, maybe it can't understand the drawings, so be careful to drill into the evil path of the white dictatorship!"

Daddy and Section Chief Xu's expressions stiffened suddenly.

The two sides were about to have a quarrel, but a big leader "passed by" at the right time and interjected to teach both sides: "Eh, both don't say a word." Xiao Gu, Xiao Xu, don't take it to heart. Xiao Chai just didn't sleep last night and talked nonsense. But you guys, you should also pay attention to the impact, celebrate and celebrate, don't make too much noise, it will affect your work!"

When Dad and Section Chief Xu looked at each other, it was Du Hai, the deputy factory director in charge of political work, who smiled and persuaded him to make peace, and the yin and yang was Chai Junling, the head of the Supervision Section.

So I had to endure it.

Director Du made up for it in a businesslike manner: "Xiao Gu, Zhejiang University, it's not like no one has been to our factory - do you look at the comrades of previous years, have you celebrated like you?"

Dad was angry in his heart, but he could only admit with a smiling face: "What you said is true, factory director-in fact, it's not that I want to have a treat, it's that so many workers come early in the morning to say hello, I don't want to lose my courtesy." ”

Du Haipi taught with a smile: "I know, so I don't blame you for disturbing the work order." Forget it, be humble. If you are admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University and create an unprecedented honor in our factory, then I won't stop you if you want to celebrate, right?

Drinking Moutai at work lunch, this is against the discipline of the factory, you are technicians, what should you do if you make a mistake. So what about this bottle of Moutai, I'll find someone to keep it for you first, and then you can get it after you figure it out. ”

Saying that, Du Hai was also very reluctant to do it himself, but asked an employee in charge of internal discipline behind him to take away the two bottles of Moutai in the drawer of Gu Ao's desk.

The 78-year-old Moutai is 16 yuan a bottle, which is equivalent to a month's salary for an apprentice, and you have to buy it with a special ticket, not an ordinary liquor ticket.

A group of workers who were originally talking good things about their father and preparing to rub a cup of Moutai at noon were indignant when they saw Moutai being searched.

When Du Hai and Chai Junling walked away, a group of people began to complain angrily: "Hmph, I'm embarrassed to say, 'There is no shortage of people in our factory who went to Zhejiang University, have others celebrated'—didn't he just want to say that his son also went to Zhejiang University the year before last! The kind of Zhejiang University that relies on recommendation can be compared with the examination of Section Chief Gu's own family?"

"If he weren't the deputy factory director, his son would have been recommended to study at Zhejiang University!"

As of last year, Huaxia Dadi has a total of 5 years of history of recommending the system to go to university, so the oxygen generator factory, a heavy industry enterprise directly under the ministry with thousands of people, really has no shortage of cadres and children who can go to Zhejiang University.

In the past five years, there have been more than a dozen recommended Zhejiang University students, and there are slightly fewer Jiaotong University and Harbin Institute of Technology students.

At this time, the financial section chief Xu, who was in sympathy with the same illness, comforted in a low voice: "Old Gu, don't take it to heart, Du Hai is venting his anger to Chai Junling and appeasing his subordinates - you are engaged in technology, and you don't hear anything outside the window, and I will tell you some things in private."

Last year, in front of Director Chen, Deputy Director Qin and Du Haizheng recommended, and Director Chen finally gave the quota of Zhejiang University to the production port, saying that it would be the turn of the political worker this year. As far as I know, before the above decided to resume the college entrance examination, Du Haidu had already promised Chai Junling this year's quota.

First, Chai Junling has followed him closely in the saddle and after the horse all these years, and he has obeyed his orders; second, after he promised Chai Junling, his family will have an extra television set when he turns around! Produced by the Jinmen Radio Factory! Now that the college entrance examination has been resumed and the recommendation has been cancelled, can Chai Junling not be angry?

Daddy nodded, and most of his anger disappeared.

Chai Junling made a dog for Director Du for several years, and he also paid for a TV set, wanting to change his son to Zhejiang University. Now everything is in vain, I heard that his son Chai Hu only scored more than 200 points in the exam this year, and he can't reach the junior college, can he not be angry?

"Hmph, that's the truth, okay, I don't have the same knowledge as them. Two bottles of Moutai should be fed to the dogs, and it is best to let Chai Junling pour it on the grave of his son's college admission letter!"

When Section Chief Xu heard this, he was also amused: "Hey! I didn't expect that an honest person like you would be poisonous enough to start a fire and talk! ”

Because of Du Hai's suppression, he wanted to be angry for Ma Zai.

Those colleagues in the factory who want to celebrate their children's admission to college can only dare to be angry. The noon treats were naturally dispersed, and even the smoke was much more restrained.

Everyone was suffocating all afternoon, and they just wanted to wait for after work to make a private appointment, and it was a big deal to pay more money and go to a black market restaurant to celebrate.

Who let Du Hai say those high-sounding truths that can't be refuted on the surface - the leaders of the political work mouth let you be modest, don't drink at lunch, and don't show off the white dictatorship. Each of these words is theoretically correct when viewed separately.

I finally stayed up until I got off work in the afternoon, and my father wondered if he should leave a few minutes early and go to Old Man Yao's small restaurant at the gate of the factory to say hello and occupy a few tables.

Old man Yao's shop is a private restaurant with the best reputation within a kilometer around the factory. My daughter was admitted to Zhejiang University, and she couldn't lose her share of the celebration banquet.

It's a pity that if it weren't for Du Hai's obstruction, it could have been solved by the small stove in the reception in the factory.

At this moment, Gu Min rushed into his office with a familiar smoke.

Seeing his daughter suddenly coming, the father was also stunned: "Minmin, why are you here?"

"My brother has been admitted to the Foreign Affairs Academy! He is parking downstairs! I ran up to report the news. (Bicycle)

"Foreign Affairs Academy, what kind of school is that?" Dad didn't know how to do it, and he really hadn't heard of this school, which was awesome but had a pitifully small enrollment scale.

However, Gu Min's eloquence in explaining the problem was obviously very simple: "You don't care what school it is." The admission score is 20 points higher than that of Tsinghua University and Peking University, and I will be admitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after graduation!"

The sentence "The score is 20 points higher than that of Tsinghua University and Peking University" instantly detonated the emotions of everyone in the office.

In this simple era, there is no one in a thousand miles who understands the academic strength behind the university.

Trying to explain to the public how awesome their school is impossible for the vast majority of college students.

But the people have the simple judgment methods of the people, they only know that the higher the score, the better the university.
