Chapter 149 Going to work
Early in the morning, Su Mo got up, dressed herself up, braided a nice fluffy braid, and put on a new cotton coat. It was
the first day of work in the new year, so she had to look good.
At that time, people emphasized "everything for the collective", and there was no holiday on New Year's Day. The unit only had one day off every Sunday, and there was no rest when it was busy.
Double days off were a thing after 1995.
But Su Mo was lucky. This year's New Year's Day happened to be Saturday, which meant that she could rest after working one day.
Lu Changzheng got up early in the morning to make breakfast. After making breakfast, he secretly observed his wife's face. Seeing that she was not unhappy, he hurried over and hugged her and kissed her.
"Wife, I'll ask the doctor today. If it's okay, we can do it tonight." God knows how hard he had last night, but his wife slept well.
Su Mo slapped him away, "You wish." I won't serve you anymore.
Lu Changzheng smiled and waited for Su Mo to finish breakfast. Then he drove her to the commune office building and drove to the city to do his own things.
The advance team should arrive today, and the main force will be here in two days. Lu Changzheng also has a lot of things to do.
Li Hongjun had been told by Geng Changqing to take good care of Su Mo. Therefore, he told the director of the office, Li Yunwang, to make arrangements for Su Mo.
Li Yunwang also came early today. As soon as Su Mo arrived, he enthusiastically took her to the office.
Although Su Mo's position was not high, she was a "special dispatch" and someone from the top took care of her. The commune actually arranged a separate office for her.
The office is on the second floor. Although it is a little to the side and not very big, it has everything, including desks, chairs, filing cabinets, thermoses, etc.
"Researcher Su, this is the office arranged for you. Take a look. If there is anything missing, just tell me and I will arrange it for you." Li Yunwang said with a smile.
His uncle is the secretary of the county committee and his husband is the head of the group. He dare not offend such people.
"Director Li, you are too polite. Just call me Xiao Su." Su Mo hurriedly said, "I will take a look. If there is anything else I need, I will ask you again."
The other party is a 22nd-level clerk after all. She is a 28th-level clerk. She dare not show off in front of him. She still has to give him basic respect.
Seeing the other party's politeness, Li Yunwang's smile became more sincere.
"The office next to you is for two agricultural officials. I thought it would be convenient for you to communicate, so I arranged your office here."
"Director Li is really thoughtful
." Su Mo complimented. "This is the personnel structure of the commune that I sorted out. Take a look and get familiar with it as soon as possible." Li Yunwang handed the two pages of paper in his hand to Su Mo, intending to flatter her.
"Thank you so much, Director Li." Su Mo quickly took it with both hands. For her, this was a timely rain.
After Li Yunwang left, Su Mo went into the office and checked the information he gave her.
Hongqi Commune originally had 17 officials and office staff. Now with her, there are 18 people in total.
From the data compiled by Li Yunwang, it can be roughly divided into two systems, similar to the county party committee secretary and county governor in later generations.
On the party committee side, there are one secretary, one party committee secretary, one armed department head, one armed officer, one propaganda officer, one organization officer, one Youth League secretary, and one director of the Women's Federation.
On the administrative affairs side, there are the president, the office director, the civil officer, the management officer, the agricultural officer, the animal husbandry officer, the water conservancy officer, and the accountant. Except for the agricultural officer, who has two people, the others are all one person.
Li Yunwang compiled it in great detail, and he clearly wrote down who each position is and the general content of the work.
Su Mo was quite grateful to him. If she had to figure it out on her own, it would take at least a few days.
Among these people, Su Mo knew three of them.
One was Fu Ming, the secretary of the Party Committee, whom Geng Changqing had met several times when he was still here.
One was Yang Jingming, the husband of Lu Xiaolan and an organizational cadre.
Another was Li Hongjun, the former president and current secretary.
There is no candidate for the new president yet, and it is unknown what kind of person the higher-ups will send.
Su Mo hoped that someone difficult would not be sent, after all, her position belonged to administrative affairs, and the president was her direct supervisor.
After reading it, Su Mo put away the enamelware lunch boxes she brought with her, and then took the thermos to the commune canteen to get some hot water.
The commune canteen was right next to the office building, a large flat. The cadres of the commune, the employees of the commune's collective industries, and the employees of other public institutions who did not bring their own meals could all eat here.
Su Mo asked the big sister in the canteen how to buy meal tickets, so that she would not have problems eating at noon.
With the guidance of the big sister, Su Mo found the director of the canteen and bought this month's meal tickets and vegetable tickets.
Meal tickets cost 1.5 yuan per catty, and they were all 2 taels each. Su Mo bought 10 catties. Vegetable tickets came in two types, 5 cents and 1 cent. Su Mo bought 20 of each, and spent a total of 4.5 yuan.
After buying, Su Mo hurried back to the office building.
After fishing for a while in the office, Fu Ming came down to call her, saying that Li Hongjun wanted to see her, so Su Mo quickly took her notebook and went upstairs.
It was still the same office as Geng Changqing. Li Hongjun first asked Su Mo a few questions with concern, and then asked her to write a work plan for the new year.
After all, this position did not exist before. He also asked Geng Changqing how to arrange Su Mo's work. Secretary Geng told him directly that Su Mo should write her own work plan.
Su Mo was naturally happy to do so. It was best to arrange her own work. After returning to the office, she began to write furiously.
When it was time for lunch, Su Mo quickly took her lunch box and went to the commune canteen.
When she arrived at the canteen, it was amazing that there were quite a lot of people.
Su Mo felt a bit like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. Everything she saw seemed new to her. After all, it was her first time eating in the cafeteria.
Su Mo followed the team and lined up to get her staple food first. Today's staple food was steamed bread, and each ticket cost two taels. She saw that female comrades usually ordered one, but since she could eat now, she asked for two.
Vegetables were five cents a portion, and there were not many vegetables in winter, only Chinese cabbage. It was her first time eating in the cafeteria, so Su Mo also ordered a portion.
There were two stir-fried meat dishes, one with winter melon and meat, and the other with radish and meat, both cost fifteen cents a portion. Su Mo asked for stir-fried winter melon and meat, which was all winter melon, with only a few slices of meat.
Today is the first day of the new year, and the canteen has specially prepared a big meat dish, braised fish, at 20 cents a portion, and Su Mo also ordered one.
Of course, this braised fish cannot be given a whole fish like in the state-owned hotel, but only two pieces of fish meat.
After eating, Su Mo secretly sighed that the food in this commune canteen is quite good.
After a quick calculation, 2 steamed buns cost 6 cents, green vegetables cost 5 cents, a portion of meat stir-fried vegetables cost 15 cents, and a portion of fish cost 20 cents.
With meat and vegetables, such a rich lunch only cost 46 cents, which is really not expensive at all compared to the state-owned hotel.
After listening to other people's chatter, Su Mo realized that the canteen prepared so many delicious dishes because today is the first day of the new year.
Normally, it is not so good. It is mostly coarse grains and vegetables. There is only one 1.5-cent meat stir-fry every two or three days.
Of course, there are small stir-fry dishes a la carte, but most people can't afford it.
For example, Su Mo, most people don't dare to eat.
A meal costs almost 50 cents, and lunch alone costs more than 10 yuan a month. Who can afford it? How can you live the rest of the time?
