After chatting for a while, Liu Cuihua and her husband sent Old Lady Liu back home. Looking at the four people playing in the yard, Ye Zhiqiu's eyes were empty, he was thinking about something.
Because we are now conducting militia training, various trainings are often carried out in factories and schools.
Ye Zhiqiu had trained a lot and practiced shooting, and his marksmanship was very good. But he was worried about another thing, which was the arrangement of work!
Chen Yimin wanted to let him work in the kitchen so that he could be promoted gradually. Eventually he could be made the canteen director and become a cadre.
But Ye Zhiqiu didn't really want to get ahead. He thought being a buyer was fine. He didn't have to go to the factory every day to work, and he could just find time to get some things and hand them in for storage.
But now he found that if he didn't make progress, no one would think he was suitable!
A very realistic thing is that when you are a section chief, although you are a low-level cadre, your right to choose a spouse is much more relaxed!
Others didn't know he had space, and all they wanted to do was live a quiet life. So whether it was the two masters or Chen Yimin and the others, they all persuaded him to go to the kitchen and be a chef. With Chen Yimin's care, they could arrange for him to do something else in the future.
There are only so many places in the logistics department, and many of them are their comrades-in-arms, or their own people. There is no place for Ye Zhiqiu at all.
Except for the canteen director position, there was no vacancy anywhere else, so they persuaded him to become a chef!
Wang Fugui saw Ye Zhiqiu was a little dazed, so he asked in a low voice: "Grandson, what are you thinking about? If there is anything you can't figure out, tell me about it. After all, I have lived for so many years, so I can always give you some advice."
Ye Zhiqiu came back to his senses and smiled. After thinking about it, he decided that he could indeed tell this matter and ask his family for help and reference.
So he said to the three people who were looking at him, "This is what happened. My uncle wanted to get me to work in the canteen kitchen, but I don't really want to work in front of the stove every day.
But my uncle said he would arrange for me to go to the kitchen and that he would give me a job later, like a cadre position. This is a headache for me now. After all, I have a lot of benefits as a buyer! And it also has a lot of freedom. I really don't want to work in the kitchen.
Wang Fugui nodded and waved his hand to stop Wang Xiaolan who wanted to speak. He smiled kindly and said to Ye Zhiqiu, "Haha, I still have some say in this matter. Let me tell you about something I encountered before.
Back in the Republic of China, when I was a teacher, I once encountered such a situation at a bar! A man who wanted to get ahead was rejected by his leader because he didn't offer enough bribes.
Do you know what he did to hold a grudge against me?"
Ye Zhiqiu was a little confused, so he shook his head.
Wang Fugui said calmly, "He gave his concubine to his boss's boss, and then tried to switch his identity with his boss! In the end, he died. He was fired by his boss's boss, and then his boss arranged for someone to shoot him!"
Wang Xiaolan, who was looking at her with a gossipy face, asked anxiously, "Godfather, why is that guy so mean? He slept with the woman and refused to do anything for her. He's so disrespectful!"
Ye Tianya also said in disbelief: "Old man, this is not right! Then this boss's boss, isn't that breaking the rules?"
Wang Fugui lit a cigarette and said with a puzzled look, "Rules? Then do you know that the person who died was just an ordinary staff member?
To put it bluntly, whether it's his superior or his superior's superior, they are the ones who belong to the system! And he is just a dispensable person, why should they be subject to the rules with him? "
Ye Zhiqiu seemed to understand something. He asked softly, "Grandpa, do you mean I should agree? But I really think being a buyer is very free. Look, every day I'm either learning cooking from my master or staying at home and sleeping!"
"Silly child, what freedom is there? You think you have freedom now, but it's just an excuse for you to be lazy. Why are you hesitating?"
Isn't it because you know very well that this society has status and hierarchy! That's why you yearn for so-called freedom, but at the same time you know that what you really want is status!
Ye Zhiqiu chuckled a few times. In fact, his current mentality was indeed to be both responsible and indecisive!
Let's take the most basic example, housing! Cadres are given priority in housing allocation, and the factory dormitory building, one kilometer away from Sanlitun, is a collectively heated building!
Being a purchasing agent is indeed free, but living in this yard is not comfortable. We have to rely on a coal stove for heating in winter. If the stove is not burning, we will freeze to death in minutes!
Although the yard is big, it is not comfortable to live in!
So Ye Zhiqiu was actually very tempted. After he became a cadre, he could be allocated an apartment! When the time came, Ye Tianya would rent the courtyard, and his family could move to the apartment in the winter and move back to the courtyard when the weather warmed up, just like Chen Yimin did!
Wang Xiaolan persuaded him, "Son, didn't you say that the girl's mother is a cadre? You should become a cadre too. Wouldn't that make things easier?"
Ye Zhiqiu said with a grin, "I'm afraid you're the one who wants to tell everyone that my son is a cadre. I'm just a buyer, and you've already spread the word all over Sanlitun. If I want to become a cadre, you'll definitely tell everyone in Beijing!"
"Nonsense, your mother isn't that kind of person. I think she should have spread the news to at least the cities surrounding the capital..."
"Old Ye, do you want to die?!"
Qian Dafu and his friends came back from seeing someone off, gave Dasheng a cigarette, said goodbye, and then took his family back home.
Ye Zhiqiu and the others took a shower or went to sleep.
After his hair dried, Ye Zhiqiu lay on the bed and put his thoughts into the space, and his savings became one thousand and seventy-six yuan.
These days he brought ingredients to the restaurant, and both chefs gave him the purchasing fee, but in fact he did not do any purchasing!
It was all the output from the space, plus I received a salary, so the money went from over 800 to over 1,000.
He had used up most of the half pig, but there were still six big fat pigs in the bubble, enough for him to eat for a long time!
Ye Zhiqiu had a beautiful dream that night, and Feng Xiaomei appeared in the dream...
So when he woke up the next day and changed his clothes, he suddenly realized that he really should find a partner!
I opened the door and took a peek, and heard the voices of Ye Tianya and Wang Xiaolan coming from the living room.
Ye Zhiqiu hurried to the kitchen to get some water, washed his pants, and then hung them up to dry. After finishing all this, he went back to get a cup, squeezed some toothpaste, and went to wash up.
Because Ye Wubing has to walk for half an hour to get to school, he gets up very early now, often before seven o'clock.
So after Ye Zhiqiu finished washing up, he walked out of the living room with his schoolbag on his back, and didn't forget to say hello: "Brother, I'm going to school!"
"Hmm..."
Ye Zhiqiu, who was brushing his teeth, replied and then jumped out of the door.
