Chapter 101: Drop the fork
In the two years since Manturov came to power, the level of development and the quality of life of the people of the Novosibirsk region have been greatly improved. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe local factory has become the largest industrial state in the country because of the epoch-making technology brought by Manturov, the time-traveler, and the industrial output and production efficiency have been significantly improved.
Of course, as a cadre dedicated to serving the people, Manturov attaches more importance to the development of people's livelihood. Thanks to the hard work of the prisoners and construction crews of Gula Camp, the third phase of housing construction has been completed.
Families in the state who were forced to live in tents and forced into group dormitories have been allocated decent housing, and although a large number of people still live in shared apartments, living conditions have jumped to the top in the country.
In Moscow, the average living space per person is only 9 square meters, while in the city of Novosibirsk, the average living space per person reaches 17 square meters.
In addition to the construction of a large number of new prefabricated apartments, Manturov also encouraged people to build their country houses in the suburbs using local timber in the designated areas, which also reduced the pressure on the distribution of the apartment system, and some people, especially those who knew how to build, were given their own houses.
In addition, in terms of environment, greening, education, etc., Manturov has also made a lot of efforts to improve the soft power of the state, as well as the comprehensive quality of life of the people.
Due to the improvement of the quality of life and the increase in the demand for labor, the Novosibirsk region has attracted many workers and professionals from other places to settle down and work.
In addition, some of the prisoners released from the Gula camp were also attracted by the living environment and the inclusive atmosphere here, and regained their freedom, and those who were not forcibly designated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to move to the "settlement" were willing to stay and settle down and contribute to the development of the Novosibirsk region.
Many of these people later joined local party organizations, and most of them were people who had been innocently purged because they were falsely accused by others, many of them were former cadres, and there were also a number of engineers, doctors, and other experts.
And many children of the families of the "former enemies of the people" who have settled down have also joined the Communist Youth League and served in the League. As a result, the increase in the number of "enemies of the people" in local party organizations and league organizations aroused great attention from the top level of the CPSU.
Stalin also wrote a letter to Manturov about this concern; Mikhailov, the first secretary of the Soviet Communist Youth League, also came to inspect the organization in person, with the aim of learning about the situation of this Communist Youth League organization, which is full of "enemies of the people," and by the way, to see again the beauty of Katya's alluring country and city.
In the evening, in the cadre's canteen, Manturov and Katya enjoyed a special dinner for the Soviet cadres.
Although Katia can also cook and does it well, it took two hours to cook such a homely meal last time. She was tired from work, and after work, she really didn't have the extra energy to spend two hours for a meal, so she had to deal with it with her husband in the cadre canteen.
The environment of the cadre canteen in the Soviet Union is not as good as that of the restaurant outside, where there are many people, there is a lot of noise, and the decoration and dining table are relatively simple, but the quality of the food and the cooking level of the chef are above the hotel restaurant.
Under the special supply system of the Soviet Union, the cadres of the Soviet government were able to distribute the freshest and best quality ingredients, and the higher the rank, the richer the richer, and many of them were sent to the cadres' canteens.
Fresh, high-quality ingredients combined with the cooking skills of professional chefs have made one dish after another to comfort those cadres who serve the people.
"Boom!" Accidentally, Manturov touched it, and his iron fork slipped off the edge of the table and fell to the ground.
The accident of dropping the fork seemed nothing special, but it made Katia feel a sense of foreboding. Isn't it just a fork drop? What's the big deal?
However, in Russian culture, the fork drop is a foreshadowing. What does it portend? There will be women who will come to him.
Of course, this is just a superstition, don't think that playing with a fork can make the girl come up automatically, there is no such cheap thing in this world.
Katia is not a superstitious person, but under the influence of Russian culture, no matter how rational people are, they will always be a little culturally superstitious.
"Volodya, did you drop your fork?" Katia stared at Manturov, closely watching his expression and movements.
Manturov, of course, knew what was happening, and having lived in the USSR for more than twenty years, it was impossible for him not to know the meaning of dropping the fork.
He hurriedly picked up the fork on the ground and said to Katya, who looked solemn: "Katyusha, won't you just drop a fork?" Those claims are just superstition. ā
"I hope so. Maybe you're going to fall in love with a beautiful woman one day, and then you won't want me. ā
Manturov looked affectionately at Katya's face, which was more beautiful than an angel, and said sincerely: "No, Katyusha, you will always be the most beautiful in my heart, how can I fall in love with other women?" ā
"Hehe, time will tell." Katia said in a cold woman's tone.
However, time soon proved that this was not superstition, but the presence of a woman did not mean that Manturov would have a crush on someone other than Katia.
The next night, Katya was entertaining the visiting first secretary of the Komsomol Mikhailov, but was unable to have dinner with Manturov. And Manturov, who had completed his work ahead of schedule, got off work early, had a Soviet-style dinner in the cafeteria by himself, and then went for a walk in the park.
In the park, almost everyone Manturov saw was smiling happily, some were discussing the obvious improvement in their quality of life in recent years, others were saying things like "glory belongs to Comrade Manturov" and "our secretary of the state party committee is the best."
These words were heard by Manturov, and he was filled with enthusiasm and motivation to serve the people. For him, the greatest joy is to be able to see the smiles of the people and to be affirmed by the people for his work.
As he walked, he stepped into a secluded path. It was at this moment that he heard a sound of a woman choking, in stark contrast to the laughter of others and the bustle of the rest of the park.
Always helpful (nosy), he walked in the direction where the voice came. In the dim light, he found a familiar figure on a park bench by the roadside.
"Irina, are you alright?" Seeing Irina's pitiful appearance, Manturov, who had always cared about cadres, hurriedly stepped forward and sat down next to the new secretary, intending to do his best to enlighten her.
PS: Today is the National Day, I wish you all a happy National Day!
