After Chen Jianguo returned to the office, what else did he want to say?
Why not ask the leader?
"Brother Chen, this is what you want!"
Chen Jianguo took it, put it on the table, and called out, "Xiao Li, wait a minute!"
Xiao Li stood still when he heard this. Although it seemed like Brother Chen had something to say, he stood there for a while and still said nothing.
Xiao asked, "Brother Chen, what's the matter?"
Chen Jianguo thought for a moment, "Xiao Li, did we have any benefits during the Chinese New Year in the past?"
Xiao Li was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he quickly reacted. Although he was confused, he continued speaking as usual.
"Nothing much, just some common things. I just have a few more meat coupons so I can have more good meals."
Chen Jianguo was not surprised when he heard this. It was the same in his previous workplace, but sometimes they would give them extra tickets because they couldn't go home.
Xiao Li scratched his head, because Chen Jianguo was in his first year of class and wanted to ask what the benefits were so he could take some home for the New Year. But now everyone was doing the same thing, so if the stationmaster wanted to give them something, they had to have it!
"Brother Chen, everyone is like this. When the time comes, take the ticket and buy something substantial to take home. It's already been booked."
Chen Jianguo couldn't hear any words of comfort, but it was difficult to talk about his family's situation, so he had to keep quiet.
Xiao Li stood there, unable to go out, and Chen Jianguo remained silent. After thinking about it, he decided to chat for a while longer.
"Brother Chen, if you are short of something at home, I can ask my friends at the steel mill for you?" Thinking of his relatives working on the shift at the steel mill, how about asking for Brother Chen?
Chen Jianguo was stunned. Isn't the steel plant Sunan's unit?
Looking at Xiao Li, he asked doubtfully, "Is your friend a buyer?"
Xiao Li immediately shook his head. "No, it's just that every year during the Chinese New Year, their factory buys a whole pig and gives it to the employees as a welfare benefit."
After Xiao Li finished speaking, he couldn't help but envy, and even pursed his lips. He saw that they were greedy for meat. Chen Jianguo understood, because they had 6 or 8 taels of meat tickets every month.
To be honest, I have a family to support, and this little bit of meat is not enough to fill the gaps. I think of the meat coupons my wife has saved. Every year after she finishes the task of raising pigs, she exchanges the excess for meat coupons, so that she can exchange them whenever she wants to eat.
Hey - for the first time, Chen Jian felt that the current monthly salary of 48 yuan, plus various benefits, would definitely be enough if the family saved.
But now, let alone my parents, it's him who can't adapt. No wonder my wife doesn't want to come to the county town?
"Brother Chen, Brother Chen?" Xiao Li saw that Chen Jianguo was thinking about something and wanted to leave, so he could only remind him.
"Oh, nothing, go back!"
"Okay!" Xiao Li left without asking any other questions.
Before taking a break, Chen Jianguo decided to go find the stationmaster.
Seeing Chen Jianguo coming over, the stationmaster didn't think much of it, but instead happily praised him, "Xiao Chen, I heard a lot of people below are praising you!"
Chen Jianguo was a little embarrassed, "Stationmaster, are you going to eat?"
The stationmaster nodded. It was lunchtime, so why not eat? Then he realized that something was wrong.
Seeing that the stationmaster was about to leave, Chen Jianguo asked directly, "Stationmaster, does our unit need pigs?"
.....
After Chen Jianguo finished speaking, he stood there without any reaction, like a soldier, although he himself was a soldier.
The webmaster blinked and started to take it seriously, because Chen Jianguo didn't seem like the kind of person who would joke around.
"Xiao Chen, what do you mean?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jianguo briefly explained his family's situation, and finally said, "So I want to ask you, does your company need one? If so, should my wife tell her to keep one for you?"
.....
Looking at his leader who was stunned for the first time, Chen Jianguo was a little unsure. He waited for 5 minutes and it was already time to get off work.
With a "pa--" sound, Chen Jianguo looked at his leader, wondering why he was suddenly patted.
Then came the stationmaster's excited voice, which was heard even by passersby.
Ha ha ha ha----
The webmaster rubbed his dry hands, his face full of excitement, even red like the tomatoes at home. Chen Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that it was a success.
The stationmaster was happy for a long time, then gave Chen Jianguo another shot, and then said unhappily, "Such a good thing, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Chen Jianguo felt a little embarrassed, he really didn't expect it.
The webmaster could see that his new subordinate was still straightforward.
"By the way, did your wife tell us how much?" the stationmaster asked anxiously, thinking that if it was more, he would buy two more pounds of meat for his family.
"As many as the unit needs, we have!"
The webmaster's mouth twitched. Why are you still bragging? "Look at what you said. Do you think you can have a pig if I want one?"
He even rolled his eyes, thinking that he was an old man who knew nothing. Raising pigs in the village was so difficult, and he had to raise them himself even though he hadn't seen the meat processing plant.
Chen Jianguo was not angry, but smiled proudly, "Stationmaster, I have eight pigs at home, each weighing more than 300 kilograms. This can really satisfy you!"
.....
Puff, puff - the stationmaster spat out a mouthful of water, his eyes wide open and he stood up immediately. The water flowed down his chest and wet a part of his shirt, but he didn't care.
It echoed in his mind for a while, and then looking at the subordinate's smug expression, he gave him another pat, this time with a little more force on the shoulder.
"You, your previous boss always praised you for being honest and sincere!" Then he continued unhappily.
"I think you have the most eyes!"
Chen Jianguo just took it as a compliment and explained it to the webmaster again. In the end, the webmaster stared at him with envy.
"I said, you kid, you don't feel tired every day, running home, it seems you are not here to accompany your family!"
After saying that, he started to feel jealous again. If his family had enough food to eat every day, he would go back.
Chen Jianguo smiled and did not refute. His wife's cooking skills were indeed better than the food in the cafeteria.
The stationmaster sighed for a long time, and this time they went to the cafeteria. There they were still eating steamed corn bread and cabbage stewed with potatoes, with a lot of soup, which was just right for soaking the corn bread in.
Chen Jianguo only took two steamed buns, while the stationmaster took four. I used to think that Chen Jianguo ate less and was saving food to supplement his family's income.
Now? Huh?
Chen Jianguo looked over in confusion, "What's the matter, webmaster?"
The stationmaster snorted again, "We thought you ate less and were using it to support your family. Who knew your family...?"
There were many people in the cafeteria, so the stationmaster didn't continue. Chen Jianguo suddenly realized that it was no wonder that every time he served food, the cafeteria chef would keep filling it up for him.
He looked at the stationmaster and whispered, "Tomorrow I'll get some side dishes made by my wife, as well as pickled eggs, from home. I'll save a few for you then."
Upon hearing this, the webmaster looked up in surprise, then immediately his eyes turned into one of relief.
"You are still the best kid!"
He remembered something and stared at Chen Jianguo, "The steel plant buys two pigs every year. Are they yours?" He was already sure that they bought them from the deputy station chief's home.
Chen Jianguo nodded and said, "Yes, my brother-in-law is studying there!" As for Wang Weiguo, it is better not to say anything.
The webmaster nearly choked, and then said unhappily, "If you have good stuff in the future, can you give us first and give them the rest later?" He was really turning his elbow to the side.
Upon hearing this, Chen Jianguo nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I didn't think of that before. Next time my wife wants to exchange vegetables and eggs, I will definitely ask the station first."
The stationmaster was satisfied. After finishing his meal, he saw that there was no one around, so he moved closer to Chen Jianguo, ignoring his curious look.
I whispered, "Can you bring 20 eggs to class tomorrow? But if you leave them, I'll pay you!" I made a promise.
Chen Jianguo nodded, "Okay, are 20 enough?"
The stationmaster nodded excitedly, then trembled, "Is that enough?"
"These are for now. I won't trade with you anymore!" Then he ignored the wealthy man and left immediately. If he stayed any longer, he was afraid that he would be punched the next second.
Chen Jianguo shrugged and went out to find Wang Weiguo to discuss selling the pigs.
