Chapter 105
Qiao Wei is famous again.
After she rested for two days and went back to work, people would take the opportunity to ask her when they were going to the office: "You are really good at driving."
Qiao Wei would repeat her lines: "I only know how to brake to stop and accelerator to go, but I don't know how to step on the clutch. I asked Secretary Huang while crying, and Secretary Huang said he didn't know either. After finally getting going, I heard him say "shift gears, shift gears". It was like a dream that I could drive to the hospital."
I don't know how many times she repeated this line, and I felt like she was about to become Xianglin Sao.
Finally, Secretary Huang also came back to work, and others couldn't help asking him.
Secretary Huang said, "How can she drive? She held the steering wheel and yelled at me, 'How do you step on the clutch?' I didn't know. The fire would go out as she started to drive. It went out as she started to drive. I don't know how many times it went out, but it really started to drive. I saw that she didn't change gears. I told her to change gears and she did it."
He said this to everyone who was curious.
The two people's lines matched. Everyone finally believed that Qiao Wei couldn't drive. She really was desperate and succeeded.
It is true that when the county first opened the bus, there was an accident where the driver forgot to remove the key, and as a result, a middle school student quietly got on the empty bus and drove the car and crashed it into a tree. So people who can't drive can also drive a car.
Anyway, no matter what, whether it was a desperate move or a desperate attempt, they succeeded.
The secretary's life was saved.
Who wouldn't be envious?
Sure enough, when Secretary Meng came back to work, he called Qiao Wei to the office and told her: "This is a transfer letter. Go to the district to transfer your file relationship. From now on, your organization will be officially in the county."
What can Qiao Wei say?
She can't say "I don't really want to make progress. I just want to eat melon seeds at the radio station and live a retired life until I retire."
Of course, she can't say that, and she has to look surprised and thank him.
People in the workplace are just smooth, but people in the officialdom gradually become hypocritical.
Secretary Huang's congratulations to her are sincere.
After this incident, Secretary Meng treated her more kindly, and the thin invisible wall between Secretary Huang and her disappeared.
He asked her, "Have you got your high school diploma?"
Qiao Wei said she had.
Secretary Huang said, "When you bring your files, bring your high school diploma with you."
Qiao Wei didn't think much about it. She thought it was just for file registration, regularization, etc.
She went to the district archives to retrieve her own files. It was a rare trip back, so of course she had to see her old colleagues and old leaders.
Everyone congratulated her when they found out. You can
tell from Lu Manman's face that she is living a good life, her face is glowing.
After just a few days of not seeing her, her face has gained weight and become rounder.
It's obvious that she is fat because of happiness.
Come to think of it, my husband is handsome, has a good figure, and has a smooth career. I have a leisurely job and a stable job. My parents are rich and well-connected, and my husband's family is far away.
It is hard not to be happy.
"He doesn't even let me wash clothes." Lu Manman whispered to her in secret, "He said everyone in the army knows that Yan Tuan and his family wash clothes and dishes. He said he wants to be like the leaders."
Qiao Wei laughed.
Went to see Secretary Gao.
Secretary Gao was not surprised at all. He said, "I thought about it that day. This day will come sooner or later."
Qiao Wei sighed.
Secretary Gao scolded her: "Don't look at her like that. The county is a little tired, and it's not as free as the radio station. But there is a future here! Work hard, work hard! Don't forget that the district committee is your mother's home, ah——"
The last "ah——" was dragged out, like coaxing a child.
How nice it is to have someone in the county.
With someone in the county, he was the first to show his face when Secretary Meng got into trouble, and communicated with Secretary Meng.
How nice.
There was no difficulty in transferring the file in the district, and everyone he met congratulated him.
Now there is no one to say sour words, everyone is smiling.
Fortunately, Qiao Wei is not really a young person who knows nothing and feels flattered when surrounded by people like this. She is a person who has truly seen the ups and downs of the world, and will not forget herself for these things.
The file was taken over, along with the brand new high school diploma, to the county.
Secretary Huang filled out a form and took it to Secretary Meng for signature, and asked a few more people to sign, and then the whole set of things was processed for her.
Qiao Wei then realized the purpose of him asking her to get the high school diploma.
The administrative salary system is different from the 24-level salary of the army, it is a 30-level salary system.
When she was at the advertising exhibition, she belonged to the level of "junior high school education" and "joining the work". The former attribute will not change, and the latter attribute is the next level of "regularization", and then you have to wait for salary increase as you gain experience year by year.
She was the lowest level 12 clerk, earning the lowest level 30 salary of 23 yuan.
Now, she has been promoted to a level 7 clerk with a level 25 salary. This level is "secondary technical high school" and "regularization", and her current salary is 37.5 yuan a month.
No one would complain about too much money! So cheerful!
Soon it was too cold to wear the cashmere coat.
Before Qiao Wei opened her mouth, Yan Lei asked her, "Do you want a military coat?"
Qiao Wei said without hesitation, "Yes!"
Yan Lei nodded.
He asked her a few years ago, but she didn't want one. Now that he saw that she liked to wear military green, he asked her again.
But Yan Lei didn't mention the past.
He put on the military coat as soon as he got it, it was so warm.
Xiangxiang also had a new cotton coat to wear. His aunt Man's father helped to get the new cotton, and asked a young tailor in Handicraft Lane to make it for him.
The cotton coat has a cotton core and an outer layer for protection. When washing, only the outer skin is washed. The
new cotton shoes were made by Auntie Baer.
This old lady's craftsmanship is very good, but she likes to cheat people and take advantage of them.
Qiao Wei smiled and said to her, "The weight of the materials has been weighed."
Aunt Baer smacked her lips.
Knowing Qiao Wei's meticulousness, the cotton padded jacket she made was indeed thick and elastic when pinched, so she didn't dare to replace the new cotton with old cotton.
Yan Xiang put on the woolen socks crocheted by Aunt Hu, and then put on a pair of thick big cotton padded jackets.
The woolen pants on his legs were knitted by his mother herself. Although not every stitch was very even, the wool used was new wool, not old wool that had been torn apart many times.
The warmth retention of new cotton and new wool yarn is not comparable to that of old cotton and old wool yarn.
When going out, he filled the small soup pot with hot water, squeezed it tightly, and put it into the small bag crocheted by Aunt Hu. He and his mother each put one around their necks, stuffed it into their clothes, and warmed their stomachs through their autumn clothes.
When he went to kindergarten, his mother had already refilled the hot water bottle with hot water.
His mother not only made him wear cotton gloves, but also frequently put oil on his hands and face.
Other children had chapped skin, but Yan Xiang was fine.
He did not feel the winter was hard at all.
The road from the county seat to Xiahekou District had been under construction and was almost finished. Qingshan District was extremely jealous, but the ground froze and the road could not be repaired. Construction of their road could not begin until after the Chinese New Year.
Qiao Wei saw the progress of the road construction every day when she took the bus. After the merger of the county and the town, there was a sense of vigorous development.
If only it were really like this.
Qiao Wei sighed.
Time passed quickly and New Year's Day passed.
But New Year's Day is not important to the Chinese, only the Spring Festival is important.
After New Year's Day, the Chinese New Year will come soon. Every household starts to stock up on New Year's goods
Some people have family leave, and they take the introduction letter issued by the unit to buy train tickets and long-distance bus tickets to go back home.
Lu Manman is one of those who wants to go back home. Well, back to Captain Li's hometown.
There is no way, she is newly married, and she has to meet her parents-in-law and her husband's family.
Lu Manman's mother was very distressed to take a train on a long journey in the cold weather, but there was nothing she could do, because the new daughter-in-law had to meet her parents-in-law.
Fortunately, soldiers don't have so many family leave. Captain Li was able to apply for it this year because he was newly married.
Lu Manman's mother prepared a lot of food for the trip and gave various instructions.
Captain Li kept nodding.
In order to reassure her, Li showed the ticket to his mother-in-law.
How many tickets does one person need to buy to take a train?
First you have to buy a passenger ticket, then if you want to take an express train, buy an express train ticket, then if you are an officer and are eligible to buy a sleeper, buy another sleeper ticket. Then if
you don't care about spending money and don't want to lie on nothing, then pay another 60 cents to buy a sleeper ticket. With this ticket, the conductor will give you a pillow and quilt after you get on the train.
Oh yes, there is also a number tag for the carriage you are sitting in.
In short, one person needs to have five paper tickets to take this train. Captain Li and Lu Manman have ten paper tickets each.
The mother-in-law was finally satisfied when she saw that her son-in-law was willing to buy a sleeper ticket.
But Lu Manman was still nervous. She ran to Qiao Wei's house and talked to her in the room, asking for advice.
Qiao Wei said, "If people treat me with courtesy, I will treat them with courtesy. If people love me, I will love them even more. How your in-laws treat you actually depends on how your husband treats you. If a man values you, he will do anything for you. If a man can't stop you, it means he doesn't want to. Remember, you are the daughter of the director of the city's supply and marketing cooperative. You have nothing to be afraid of. This is a chance to test you. You can't have one face before marriage and another face after marriage. If he doesn't know how to love you, he will divorce you when he comes back. This is the new China, and marriage is free. Everything is up to you. Don't be afraid. Even if the daughter of the director of the supply and marketing cooperative is married for the second time, there are still people who want her. Do you know how many people under your brother-in-law ask you if you have a sister? It's so funny. Where can Lao Yan find another daughter of the director of the supply and marketing cooperative to introduce to them? Can you repeat what I said?"
Lu Manman: "Ah???"
Qiao Wei: "Go back and pretend to be careless, and tell him what I said as a joke."
Lu Manman was raised by Jiao and became naive, but she was not stupid. After Qiao Wei's help, she understood.
When she got home, she happily repeated this paragraph to her husband like a silly girl.
Captain Li's forehead was slightly sweaty, and he pointed to the sky and cursed: "The young daughters-in-law in the village have always been the most darling. You live the same life here as you do in my house. I want to make your hands dirty. My last name is not Li. If you have anything to say, don't say anything. Just leave it alone and wait for me to speak."
Lu Manman said coquettishly: "I know you are good. Sister Wei said that she and Yan Tuan picked you out of so many people. I know they won't make a mistake."
Captain Li: "That's for sure. The leader is my role model!"
