Chapter 35: The Farm
In the following days, Silly Zhu would go to Lin's house to treat his aunt after work every day, and after a week, his aunt's complexion had begun to become ruddy, and Silly Zhu estimated that he should be able to end the treatment before the year. During this time, the relationship with Wenren Muxue has also developed rapidly, and he has been able to hold hands and whisper
Soon it was the 28th day of the lunar month, the penultimate day of the year before. Silly Zhu ended the treatment of the Lin family yesterday, the Lin family sent a lot of things and money to Silly Zhu, Silly Zhu didn't ask for it, and finally heard that Mu Xue asked Silly Zhu to bring some food back, today is the last day of work in the rolling mill, tomorrow will be a holiday, Director Tang is also the last day of work, retire next year, logistics held a meeting a few days ago to inform the director of the canteen of the three canteens to be replaced by Silly Zhu, tomorrow will start work on the first day of work, this is the decision of the leadership of the stupid pillar can not object, although the director of the canteen is not a leader, but at least he is also a petty official, There are dozens of people under his hands
Silly Zhu's salary has been increased to 600,000, but he still needs to serve as a small stove, and the squad leader of the three canteens is replaced by Master Yang. Director Tang was very happy today, he really hadn't seen the stupid pillar
In the afternoon, it was time to receive wages, and everyone happily went to receive wages and did not have the heart to work. After Silly Zhu got his salary, he also felt that he was going to find Wenren Mu Xue, this time he went to bring some pills left by the previous master, and Silly Zhu had never eaten it, but the master said in the book that it was beautiful, and the ladies in the palace used it before, and the formula was very complex and needed dozens of medicinal materials to refine. Seeing the pills that Silly Zhu brought to him, it was a little strange for Mu Xue to hear people
"Why are you giving me these pills, I'm not sick"
"Hey! Don't underestimate these pills, this is what those ladies in the palace used to enjoy by themselves, this is used to regulate the body, I also found it when I was cleaning the yard two days ago, this is a good thing, I thought of you at once, this is not tomorrow on holiday, I will send it to you after work this morning"
"Is it so amazing, why don't I believe it" Wen Ren Mu Xue looked at the pill in her hand suspiciously
"You can just try it for a few days, I have studied this medicine, it is not toxic, but there will be some slight side effects, and it may have diarrhea"
"Then I'll try it in the past two days, are you on vacation, how are you going to spend the Chinese New Year this year", put away the pills in her hand, and Wen Ren Muxue decided to go back and take one at night to try
"How else can I live, do I have a few relatives and friends in my family, just visit on the first day of the new year, and stay at home for the rest of the time"
"Then I'll go to you on the second day of junior high school, it's okay in the afternoon, the temple fair I heard you say last time was very interesting, I want to go and see it", the two separated after agreeing
Soon it was the day of the Chinese New Year. There is no old Taoist priest for the Chinese New Year this year, and they have become 2 brothers and sisters. Silly Zhu still made 6 meals for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the brothers and sisters who had worshiped their relatives and ancestors chatted while eating, waiting for 12 midnight
The next day, I got up on Friday and came to the small courtyard in the west of the city after visiting some elders and friends after eating, today I came mainly to sort out the relics of the master, meaningful to stay, meaningless to burn, originally this should have been done on Chinese New Year's Eve, but was stopped by the people in the courtyard, yesterday Yi Zhonghai came to find the stupid pillar again, and wanted the stupid pillar and the Jia family to celebrate the New Year together, said that the stupid pillar was not moved for a long time, the angry Yi Zhonghai said that the stupid pillar was hard-hearted, there was no kindness to help the neighbors in difficulty, However, Silly Zhu ignored him, so he could only go home angrily
It was already 5 o'clock in the afternoon after cleaning up the yard, and I was a little relieved to look at the silly pillars of the new courtyard, this yard would take care of it by itself, which was left by the master
In addition to leaving a yard for the old Taoist priest and his own collection for many years, there are more than 3,000 yuan, which is the remuneration that the old Taoist usually gets for helping people see a doctor, no more, no less, but the stupid pillar did not touch the money, he himself still has some savings, his own salary in the past two years plus extra money, and the money mailed by He Daqing, now there are more than 2,000 deposits
Silly Zhu got up early the next morning, and made an appointment with his sweetheart to go to the temple fair today, and his sister also went, and he went to this meeting for a year, and he definitely couldn't be left behind. It didn't take long to see Wen Ren Mu Xue come to the courtyard after 12 o'clock, and the people in the courtyard also knew that Silly Zhu had a good-looking friend, and he often came to the courtyard to see it, but Silly Zhu didn't explain anything to everyone, and other people's gossip was hungry and enduring
Sister He Yushui shouted happily "Sister Mu Xue", and the two of them ran to the side hand in hand and whispered, seeing that the time was almost up, the stupid pillar proposed that it was time to go out, and it would be dark if it was later
On the road, the rain ran around the two of them here and there, chirping like a little sparrow, this year's temple fair was unusually lively, and the silly pillar was also sighing, this year is the last time, and I won't see it next year
The three of them walked around the temple fair for a long time to buy food for the rain, and Wenren Muxue also bought a small leather shoe for the rain, and the happy rain held the shoes and bubbled happily. Silly Zhu also watched this scene happily, this is different from the feeling when the master is there, when the master is there, it is the kind of elders who can do everything with confidence, and when Mu Xue is there, it is replaced by sweetness
Dinner silly pillar left Wen Ren Mu Xue, today he deliberately warmed up early at noon to make the Buddha jumping over the wall, this dish is a big dish, silly pillar Chinese New Year's Eve dinner did not do specially left until today, silly pillar also made a few big dishes in 2 hours, usually he rarely does
Looking at the table of dishes that Silly Zhu made for himself in a hurry, Wen Ren Mu Xue was also very moved. Dinner was very happy, a mouthful of oil eaten by the rain, several dishes she had seen for the first time, and the taste also made her small mouth never stop, chewing like a squirrel. It's okay to hear that Mu Xue is okay, although I haven't seen these dishes myself, but my family is well-off and there is no shortage of food and drink, so it's more about tasting the taste than being greedy
After eating, in the eyes of the rain who was reluctant to give up, Silly Zhu sent Wenren Muxue home, and he returned alone. Wen people, Wen Mu Xue's parents sat on the sofa
"You said that your daughter is not a talking partner, I will ask when she comes back"
"Who, Mingxue? Isn't Mingxue at home" Mingxue's father also has a headache about his eldest daughter's marriage, his daughter is 24 years old this year and has no object, and she is already an older leftover girl in this era
"Mingxue, don't mention her name, I'm angry with me today, I'm talking about Mu Xue, that little girl doesn't know what to do when she is not at home during this time"
"Mu Xue, she has a partner, so when he comes back, she has to ask to see who the other party is"
At this time, Wen Ren Mu Xue had just returned home, and when she saw her parents sitting in the living room, she also asked, "Mom and Dad, why don't you sleep so late, wait for me?"
"You still know how to go home, I thought you didn't know that there was still this home, running out every day"
"Mom" heard that Mu Xue looked at the faces of her parents and ran forward to hug her mother and coquettish
"Tell me who the other party is doing?"
"Ah, what kind of person" Wen Ren Mu Xue pretended to be confused and wanted to get by
"Your mother and my eyes are not open, I know exactly what you are doing recently", seeing that she couldn't hide her mother, she could only tell the truth
"It's the last time I saw my aunt, I'm the same age as me, and I work in a rolling mill"
"Isn't his job a cook, are you really going to find a cook for the rest of your life?"
"Mom, I think he is very knowledgeable, I admire his master very much, he gives me a feeling very similar to his master in the process of contact with him, every time I have something he seems to know, this feeling is not once or twice"
"I know he's not an ordinary person, but after all, he's a chef, you're in school, and when you graduate, you're at least a cadre, can you be suitable?"
Wen Ren Mu Xue, who looked at her parents, knew that the identity gap between the two was the biggest problem between the two, but she could only wait to see it later, after all, this kind of identity problem was not something she could solve
Soon after the year, everyone who should go to work went to work, and Silly Zhu successfully took over as the director of the third canteen. At this time, there was no formal administrative level, and the BJ district administrative level was officially promulgated in 55 years, divided into 24 levels, and the director of the canteen was a 21-level or 22-level clerk, and the salary and treatment were similar to the current 60 yuan
On the first day of his tenure, Silly Zhu was still unaccustomed to changing from a worker to a cadre, although he was the smallest cadre, he was also a cadre, and he realized the step of turning a worker into a cadre. Today's first day of work is still the same as the usual New Year, the first day is a cadre dinner, the stupid pillar is in charge, in the past, the stupid pillar did not have the opportunity to participate, and today I have become one of them
After the end, Secretary Liang asked Silly Zhu to go to his office, and when Silly Zhu arrived, he saw that a director of the rolling mill was in Secretary Liang's office, but Secretary Liang didn't look at Silly Zhu, and the two of them still talked to themselves
After the others left, Secretary Liang asked Silly Zhu to close the door, "Director He, do it, you don't need me to invite you, drink water and pour it yourself, don't drink tea." Secretary Liang and Silly Zhu are also old acquaintances, and they also take good care of Silly Zhu, but they are too upright and do not protect calves like Director Tang used to
"Secretary, just drink water, just came up, the canteen stall hasn't been sorted out yet, and now my head is big, you have something to say"
"This time you are here to join the party, the big leader appreciates you very much, I hope you can be motivated, this year's spring party member pre-election, I want you to participate, this is what I mean, but also the meaning of the Industrial Bureau", Secretary Liang did not talk nonsense, and told the stupid pillar bluntly, the stupid pillar estimated that the Industrial Bureau should be the meaning of Director Wang
"Of course I don't have a problem with joining my party, but I don't know about these either, and I don't know how to apply."
"You don't need to worry about it, you just need to write an application, other organizations will approve it, and I'll let someone give you a copy, but your kid is doing a good job in the greenhouse, the last time a leader came to see it, I hope you can popularize this method, we have a lot of open space near the rolling mill, and the factory also thinks that this can be, which can subsidize the factory and solve the problem of insufficient capacity of some workshop workers."
Secretary Liang said that the lack of ability of workshop workers refers to the later period like Qin Huairu, who has not been assessed for several years after becoming a worker, there are not many people in the workshop, either doing coolies in the workshop or increasing the burden on the workshop, like fitters have daily losses, Qin Huairu did not find a pass rate of less than 30% after taking over, or even lower, there are not many such people, one is that these people have low culture, drawings can not understand the natural technical assessment, and there are some people who can not accept the ability to accept
At the beginning of this year, the factory joint venture was successful, and all the regular employees of the factory could not be fired at will, so the leaders of the rolling mill also considered this problem, and Secretary Liang mentioned the matter of the greenhouse, and he hoped that the silly pillar could reclaim the land in the empty area next to the rolling mill and transform it into a greenhouse to supply the living materials of the rolling mill or replace it with other necessary materials
Silly Zhu felt that the project was too big for him to afford and didn't want to take on this heavy responsibility, but Secretary Liang moved the big leader out, and the big leader also hoped that Silly Zhu could demonstrate to other factories. Finally, look at the refusal, you can't be stupid, you can only follow this burden
Soon the rolling mill began to vigorously select, and it was decided to set up a farm belonging to the rolling mill, located in the east of the rolling mill near the part of the hill, where the vacant land was originally intended to build a machine shop to supply parts and components for the rolling mill, but later the Ministry of Industry refuted the application and finally there was no news, so that it has been vacant until now
As for the farm people from the workshop selection, the workshop people sign up independently, the salary remains the same, but the hope of rising is much smaller, some people in the workshop have moved their minds, farming is only part of the season busy, usually very idle, although the salary may increase in the future may become smaller, but most of the people who sign up for the technology is not good, and even have not had a first-class worker
In the end, about 200 people were selected to be responsible for the planting of the farm, and the factory leaders decided to build 40 greenhouses, each of which was responsible for 5 people, so that the income could be supplied to the rolling mill or exchanged for materials. Since 54, Silly Zhu has been the director of the canteen and the director of the farm
However, the supply department did not bother to manage the farm, and the specific matters of the farm were the responsibility of Silly Zhu himself, who spent a few days going to the Agricultural University to ask for advice. Silly Zhu now has a good relationship with the professors of the Agricultural University, and promises that the farm can become an internship base for students of the Agricultural University.
This made the principal happy that his students had a fixed internship base for them to do experiments. The principal also went to see it, the base of the school is too small, the rolling mill is divided into farms that are several times larger than his own school, and the students of his own school can come over. In the end, Silly Zhu and the Agricultural University reached an agreement, they sent people to help the rolling mill to plant the farm, and the rolling mill provided internship opportunities for their students (the internship here is not our current senior internship, it can be regarded as a kind of grassroots experience)
For this reason, Silly Zhu also specially discussed with Secretary Liang to approve a base site for the Agricultural University to be used as a permanent residence for the personnel of the Agricultural University. The house is a former abandoned warehouse, with a partition in the middle to divide the rooms, as well as a lounge, laboratories and so on. In cooperation with Agricultural University, Mu Xue told Silly Zhu that Silly Zhu originally wanted to go to Professor Qian for help, but after hearing Wen Ren Mu Xue's opinion, he felt that it was quite reliable, so he proposed to Professor Qian to let him discuss with the school
Silly Zhu is now holding two positions, and he originally only got the highest salary, but Secretary Liang considered that the work on the farm might be harder, so he added a subsidy of 100,000 yuan on the basis of the original salary of 60, so Silly Zhu's current salary is 700,000, which is about to catch up with the salary of the deputy section chief of the general department
With the help of teachers and students of Agricultural University, the farm took 2 months to complete the inspection, and the stupid pillar looked at the dozens of greenhouses in front of him with a sense of pride, this greenhouse is not the one he used to make, it is very large, each 60 meters long and 12 meters wide, and the farm covers an area of about 100 acres, which is not very large, but it is enough to supply the rolling mill
