A Home for Veterans Chapter 19: Getting Started (I)
Wang Quan came to the office early, and he saw Tamson arriving earlier, lying on the desk writing something. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"What article is Tan Gaoshen brewing?" Wang Quan asked Tamson casually.
"You came at the right time, according to the requirements of Director Ren, I am working on a written material, mainly to summarize a few issues that we need to grasp when negotiating with Reliance Company next time, it can be regarded as a draft, I revised it again just now, and a few numbers are still empty, you hurry up and see if there is anything wrong."
Wang Quan took the draft, took out a cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth, lit the lighter, and said to Tamson, "Hand me your ashtray." ”
"Oh, you're so wordy!"
"If you have a problem with my smoking, I won't smoke during working hours in the future."
"Thank goodness!"
"I only work when I'm smoking."
"You guy, you always say that if you don't have enough money to buy a house, you can't smoke less cigarettes and save some expenses?"
"You can eat less, you can't smoke less, I don't have any other skills now, only the specialty of smoking, if I quit cigarettes again, I'm not useless!" Wang Quan read the outline carefully, handed it to Tan Sen, and praised it: "The writing is good, very comprehensive, I have said a long time ago, Tan Gaoshen's head turns quickly, he is a smart person!" ”
"Not only smart, but extremely smart." Tamson patted his bare skull and teased himself.
"If you don't have hair, you're smart, and all the black and white hairs on my head will be shaved tomorrow."
"Shaving doesn't count, artificially shaving your head is called 'self-made smart'."
Wang Quan sighed and said: "Alas, in fact, I was also a very smart person when I was young, but later I grew more and more stupid, and I won't tell you that when I was two years old, I would lie in the bed and 'get wet'." ”
"I'm bragging again, what kind of poem would you write at the age of two, a five-word poem or a seven-word poem?" Tamson asked Wang Quan in disbelief.
"It's neither a five-word poem nor a seven-word poem, it's a wet mattress made into a wet mattress after wetting the bed, referred to as 'doing wet'."
Tamson knew that he had been fooled again this time, and scolded Wang Quan with a smile.
"It's hard to think about the old days." Wang Quan sighed and said, "We are only a few years old, and when we are growing our bodies, we live every day, first eating rice bran, and then eating sorghum bran, taking a bite of bran and vegetable dumplings, and drinking another sip of cold water to swallow it in our stomachs." It is not easy to 'import', and it is even more difficult to 'export', at that time I often saw some children crying and shouting that they couldn't pull out the, and asked adults to use nail caps to pull out from the **. If I had been able to eat enough when I was younger, I wouldn't have grown so thin later. Old Tan, tell me, our country also had so much land at that time, and the population was much smaller than now, so why was the food produced always not enough to eat? ”
"This question is best answered by yourself, your party history is better than mine, and it should be analyzed dialectically."
"Don't mention the past, it's sad to mention it, we should look forward. Sometimes I think about it, I don't know how many times happier my life is now than I was then, what else can't I think about! ”
Tan Sen looked at his watch, it was still early, and he said to Wang Quan: "Some people feel that their current life is happy, and some people feel that their current life is unhappy, this is because different people have different understandings of happiness and different standards." ”
"You're right." Wang Quan said, "Some people set the standard of happiness as 'sleeping until you wake up naturally, and your stomach is not empty with coarse tea and light food.'" Some people set the standard of happiness as, 'Drink until your stomach cramps, smoke until your mouth is dry, count your money until your hands are sore, and sleep until the sun goes down.' ’”
Wang Quan's words amused Tamson Sen, and asked with a smile: "Where do you get so many witty words in your stomach, you can first tell me what is the standard you have set for happiness?" ”
Wang Quan thought for a while, took another puff of cigarette and said, "The husband and wife lived to ninety-three, and they reached out and grabbed a cigarette; Husband and wife live to ninety-six, and there is meat in every bowl; The husband and wife lived to ninety-nine, and as soon as they twisted the water pipe, they dripped. ”
Tamson Sen listened to Wang Quan's words, laughed and crawled on the table and said, "You guy always thinks about cigarettes, wine, and meat, and you want your wife to eat, drink, and smoke with you." ”
"Of course! There is a way that friends in distress cannot be forgotten, the wife of the bad chaff does not go to court, and when there is a good thing, the wife cannot be forgotten. Wang Quan paused for a moment, and said with a smile, "We are okay to be poor and happy, in fact, people like us who were used to suffering when we were children are now very satisfied in life, as long as we are well fed and clothed, not angry, and less sick, we think it is good." ”
"You are right, life should be left to its own devices, be at peace with what happens, don't be discouraged if you can't fight for what you should fight, and it's a pity to lose what you should lose. I heard a joke about a man who had picked up a bundle of coins on the road, and in order to spend it, he had fallen to his death on the side of the road, and went to the underworld to spend the money he had found. ”
Wang Quan smiled and said, "This joke is interesting. ”
Wang Quan flipped through the manuscript paper in his hand again, then handed it to Tan Sen, and then said: "I think the questions you summarized are more realistic and targeted. ”
Tan Sen took the scratch paper, raised it and said to Wang Quan: "To tell you the truth, this outline was worked out by Fan Gong and the two of us yesterday for an afternoon. ”
"I said how come you guys are self-taught, and some things are so professional!"
Ren Fuxing walked into the office and said to Wang Quan and Tan Sen: "I heard the two of you talking in the corridor, are you fighting again?" ”
"The director of the bureau is guilty of bureaucracy again, and the two of us are not fighting today, but are studying relevant work issues." Wang Quan said with a grin.
"Got together with old comrades-in-arms yesterday?" Ren Fuxing asked Wang Quan.
"Yes, I haven't had time to report this matter to the director, and last night Hao Jinshan's family invited our family of three to have a meal. However, I don't think I owe him a favor for eating his food, because when I was in the engineering army, we were the only two people in the company, myself and the instructor, who were administrative 22 yuan, with a salary of 60 yuan per month, which was a 'high income', and the other cadres were all administrative 23 yuan, with a salary of only 52 yuan a month. I sometimes give a few yuan from my salary to invite them to drink, often five or six people around a plate of shredded mustard or cold cabbage heart, two yuan a pound of ordinary people's self-brewed liquor, we can kill three or four catties at a time. ”
"It should be said that you have a good emotional foundation."
"You can say that, but that's all in the past. Now he is a big boss, I am a retired cadre, and my identity and status have changed. Suffice it to say, he was so rich that oil flowed down his thighs, and I was so poor that my armpits were sweating. He is a good wine to drink every day, the young lady touches it casually, has a mansion at home, and goes out to take a Chinese car; I'm drinking a little wine, my wife doesn't want to touch it, I want to buy an economic house, and go out on the bus. ”
Tan Sen said with a smile: "Lao Wang's propaganda officer for so many years has not been in vain, he is like a pot seller, speaking one by one. ”
"Lao Wang, this is called a chapter, and the 'martial arts' practiced when writing materials in the past are not abolished." Ren Fuxing couldn't help laughing when he heard Wang Quan's words.
