Seven o'clock in the evening.

Yang Jun invited all the cadres of the rolling mill to eat in a canteen.

This time, not only the cadres were invited, but also the directors of each workshop were invited.

There were seven or eight tables in the hall of a cafeteria, and each table was surrounded by seven or eight people.

The specifications of the wine and dishes can only be considered medium, four meat and four vegetables, plus two soups, white flour steamed buns are enough, and as for the wine, it is an ordinary old white dry.

Lao Baigan was bought from outside by Silly Zhu, a bottle of two and one bottles, which was a full five cents more expensive than the original.

Now that food is so tight, the distillery has ceased production, the price of liquor on the market has doubled, and even the most ordinary sorghum wine has been sold out.

Just these few bottles of Lao Baigan, or Silly Zhu got them through personal connections, and only one bottle was placed on each table.

No one minds, after all, it's good to be able to get wine this year.

What's more, they don't fancy the wine at all, but the meat dishes on the table.

Don't look at them as cadres, the treatment is better than that of ordinary workers, but it is common for them to not be able to eat meat for several months, they all stared at the meat dishes on the table with their eyes, and they could vaguely hear the sound of them swallowing saliva.

"Everyone, be quiet, I would like to invite Director Yang to speak."

Yuan Kaizong saw that everyone had arrived and the food had been served, so he stood up and motioned for everyone to be quiet.

Yang Jun smiled, glanced at everyone and said,

"At this time, if I talk nonsense again, I will definitely be scolded, so I won't say it, let's eat."

Yang Jun gave an order, and everyone moved their chopsticks.

In the hall of the cafeteria, it was quiet.

At this time, no one cared about talking at all, and could only hear the sound of everyone eating vegetables and dry rice.

In the blink of an eye, the food on the table was at the bottom.

It's not that they eat fast, it's that the dishes on their plates are in their bowls.

At this time, they still look like cadres, all of them are like they haven't eaten for 800 years, especially meat dishes, and there is not even meat residue left.

"Let's raise a glass and congratulate Director Yang on his ascension again." Yuan Kaizong raised his cup and said.

"Congratulations to Director Yang."

Everyone raised their glasses in congratulations.

Each person can only get a glass of wine, so put it to the mouth and wet the lips and put it down, no one is willing to drink.

Yang Jun responded one by one with a smile.

Actually, he didn't like this kind of occasion very much.

Hypocrisy, flattery, and no sincerity.

It's just an excuse to invite them to eat and drink.

Less than half an hour.

All the dishes on the table have bottomed out, they don't even let go of the soup, and some people eat it with white flour steamed buns dipped in the soup.

Yang Jun didn't let Silly Zhu add food, because he knew that even if he came to such a few more tables, it would not be enough for them to eat.

No wonder the stupid pillar deducted the meat gram before he moved the pot.

Because he knows that now that the leader is invited to dinner, there is no leftovers at all.

Yuan Kaizong saw that everyone had almost eaten, so he announced that he had dispersed.

Yang Jun picked up Yi Qiushui, Ding Qiunan and Yang Mei, and the four of them went back to the courtyard together.

As cadres of the rolling mill, Yang Mei and Ding Qiunan both attended the banquet, and now that it is not early, he wants to send them back.

After all, now Yangmei has a big belly, and it is not convenient to walk.

Back at the compound, Yang Jun parked the car outside.

As soon as he got home, Yang Jun asked Yang Liu about going home to visit relatives.

Wang Yuying took out three letters from the drawer in the back room and threw them to Yang Jun.

Yang Jun looked at it, good guy, Yang Liu sent three letters to his family, but none of them were for him.

He suddenly felt a pain in his gums.

This sister hurts in vain.

Yang Jun looked at the postmark on the envelope, starting with the earliest one.

The first letter, in general terms, was written about what Yang Liu had just seen and heard when she arrived in the army, and she was curious about everything unfamiliar.

I think this is what life is all about.

The second letter tells the story of how hard she trained, complained that she was too tired, and how she overcame many difficulties and finally survived.

The third letter was written that at the end of the three-month intensive training, their group of recruits would be assigned to various art troupes, and she was worried about the letter and outside the letter, she was afraid of being separated from He Yushui, and she was even more afraid of being assigned to a different place.

To Yang Jun's relief, Yang Liu mentioned in the first letter that he had left 200 yuan, and even vaguely expressed his thoughts about Yang Jun.

After reading the letter, Yang Jun frowned and fell into deep thought.

From the third letter, it was learned that Yang Liu and the others had finished their training camp and were now waiting for the assignment of units.

Of their group of recruits, there are only two places that can stay and work at the headquarters, and the rest can only be assigned to non-local units.

And Yang Liu is very conflicted now, she wants to stay in Sijiu City, but she is also afraid of being separated from He Yushui.

Among their recruits, they are basically locals, and they all want to stay in Sijiu City, and none of them want to go to other places.

But.

Only two places remained at headquarters, and most of them had to be assigned off-site.

Yang Liu's girl didn't have any illusions about staying in Sijiu City for a long time, she just wanted to be assigned to a place with He Yushui, so that they could have someone who was the same to each other.

Yang Jun continued to smoke one by one, thinking about how to leave Yang Liu in Sijiu City.

There are two advantages to staying at the headquarters as a soldier, one is to be close to home, and the other is that it is high and has a lot of room for development.

He decided to go to Qian Jiajia tomorrow.

He said hello to Wang Yuying and went back with Yi Qiushui.

The next day.

Yang Jun went to the song and dance troupe to find Qian Jiajia, but the doorman told him that Qian Jiajia was not in the unit and said that he was going home.

Yang Jun immediately turned around and drove towards the military compound.

After registering with the doorman, Yang Jun drove the car directly in.

He didn't go directly to Qian Jiajia's house, but went to meet the big leader first.

"Stinky boy, have you been avoiding me lately?"

It was Aunt Guo who opened the door.

She looked at the things Yang Jun was carrying vigilantly, and found that there was no wine bottle or anything like that, so she let him in.

"Aunt Guo, you have wronged me, it's not that I'm avoiding you, it's you who won't let me in, I heard Tianming say that if I want to carry wine into your house again, I have to break my legs."

Yang Jun lit up the gift in his hand to her, indicating that he didn't bring medicine and wine this time.

"Tianming is right, you have to bring wine, I really broke your legs." Aunt Guo gave him a blank look and took the gift in his hand.

Aunt Guo took the gift brought by Yang Jun and looked at it, and said in surprise,

"Junzi, where did you get pork, this thing is expensive now, your Uncle Guo is yelling all day long to eat back to the pot meat."

"If you want to eat it in the future, let Tianming bring a message, and I'll bring it to you."

"Don't leave later, my aunt will make you back to the pot to eat."

There was a knock at the door.

"The older I get, the more nagging I get."

The big leader stood at the door of the study, glared at Aunt Guo and said, "Hurry up and cook, I'll talk to the army about something."

"This damn old man......" Aunt Guo rolled her eyes.

Yang Jun entered the study with the big leader, and he closed the door casually.

"Uncle Guo, yesterday's appointment was a bit sudden, why didn't you say hello in advance?" Yang Jun sat down and asked.

The big leader held the book in his hand, straightened the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his fingers, and said without raising his head,

"What's there to notice? Since you became the deputy factory director, don't you know the outcome of today?"

"Hehe, it's just a little sudden." Yang Jun scratched his head and said.

The big leader glanced at him and said angrily, "Empty-handed?"

Yang Jun was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly understood.

He stretched out his hand and pulled out a bottle of medicinal wine from his pocket.

This was what he had in his pocket in advance, otherwise Aunt Guo would not have let him in.

The big leader took it and slurped his mouth a few times.

"I'd better give you this wine Uncle Qian."

He pushed the medicine back and said, "Your Uncle Qian has been worried about your sister's affairs, and you can thank him well."

Yang Jun was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly understood.

Yang Liuliu stayed at the headquarters, and the big leaders knew.

He didn't expect that the old-timers had done so much for him.

Before he could beg them, Uncle Qian had already taken care of the matter.

Yang Jun guessed that Qian Jiajia must have been unable to handle it, so he had to ask Uncle Qian for it, and Uncle Qian happened to be in charge of this work, so Yang Liu became one of the two lucky places.

Of course, there must be a lot of favors from big leaders here.

The big leader treated him as a nephew and spared no effort to help him, and Yang Jun was very moved by this.

"Uncle Guo, thank you."

"The upper lip touches the lower lip, so thank you?"

The big leader gave him a blank look and said dissatisfied.

"Hehe, you ask the secretary to go to my tomorrow."

"That's pretty much it." The big leader rolled his eyes and said.

Yang Jun chatted with the big leader in the study for a while, and knew that Aunt Guo came to call them for dinner.

Aunt Guo has never treated him as an outsider, and if there is good food at home, she will take it out.

The ten catties of meat sent by Yang Jun have already been half made by her.

There is a big leader's favorite pot meat, and he also made him a meatball and green vegetables, and then fried pork slices with cabbage strips.

Aunt Guo's cooking skills have been specially learned from cooks, and she cooks good Sichuan cuisine, the only thing she is not used to eating is that there are too many chili peppers in the dishes.

After eating, Yang Jun went back to the factory.

Of course, the bottle of medicinal wine was left to the big leader.

As for the one given to Uncle Chamber, he has a lot of space.

Back in the factory, it was already afternoon.

Due to Yang Jun's absence in the morning, the meeting on the housing of cadres was postponed to the afternoon.

Yang Jun made a cup of tea, took a notebook and went to the conference room.

The target of this meeting is those cadres who have raised funds to build houses.

Among the people who raised funds to build houses, in addition to cadres, there were also some workshop directors, team leaders, as well as various engineers and seventh- and eighth-level technicians.

There were nearly 200 people sitting in the conference room, and the already hot weather was even more stuffy.

Although there is a ceiling fan rotating overhead, it still can't dispel the stuffy airflow.

The air in the room smelled of sweat, and Yang Jun had just entered and was almost smoked out, but he still frowned and walked in.

Yang Jun put the teacup on the table, and then motioned for Yuan Kaizong to preside over the meeting.

"Everyone, be quiet."

Yuan Kaizong patted the table and said,

"It's too hot, let's make a long story short, now, our cadre housing has been built, and we can move in after a while, but how to allocate the house has become a headache."

"Some people want to live upstairs, some people want to live downstairs, and some people think it's too close to the bathroom, so it causes an uneven distribution.

"You can live in whichever room you catch, no one can go back, if you are not satisfied with the house you have caught, you can find someone to change it privately."

"Alright, let's start drawing lots."

After Yuan Kaizong finished speaking, an officer immediately came in with a cardboard box.
