Time flies, and it is November in a blink of an eye. Recently, the police station has been very busy, and they have arrested many speculators.
Although private transactions are now allowed, large-scale reselling directly affects the normal circulation of the market, so government departments will take control measures.
Seeing so many people being captured, Lu Shicai secretly felt lucky that he had stopped, otherwise he would have been killed as well.
Zhang Weiren has been doing very well in the past two years. At the end of the year, all departments had a dinner together. Everyone drank and chatted, and many people came to toast him.
The director of the People's Hospital wanted to purchase a batch of new foreign equipment for their unit, but they did not have enough funds, so they found a way to get in touch with Zhang Weiren and his Economic Cooperation Office.
Dean Wu is in his fifties. He has black hair combed back and is wearing a black sweatshirt, which looks fashionable and exquisite.
He sat next to Zhang Weiren and chatted with the people around him. He spoke slowly and his voice was low and soft, which easily gave people a good impression.
As they were talking, they mentioned that his younger brother worked at the Civil Affairs Bureau. Zhang Weiren heard that he worked in the same unit as his elder sister, so he asked:
"Which department of the Civil Affairs Bureau does your brother work in?"
Dean Wu was delighted and immediately started a conversation:
"In the personnel department, I'm just a small section chief, not worth mentioning, hehe..."
In fact, Dean Wu had investigated Zhang Weiren's interpersonal relationships before coming. He knew that Zhang Weifang also worked in the Civil Affairs Bureau, so he deliberately brought up this topic.
In fact, Zhang Weiren is only the second-in-command of the Economic Cooperation Office, but he is young and has a strong backing, so he has real power and there are countless people who want to ask him for help.
However, Zhang Weiren is a very upright person and does not accept others' flattery or deliberate approach, so everyone will try various ways to get in touch with him.
Zhang Weiren thought that his elder sister had worked in the Civil Affairs Bureau for fifteen or sixteen years and was still an ordinary employee, so it was time for her position to change.
They were all smart people, and as soon as Zhang Weiren finished speaking, they knew what to do.
A few days later, Zhang Weifang received a transfer order and was transferred to the Personnel Department as deputy section chief.
Although she was called a deputy section chief, it was actually a leisurely position where she only drew a salary without working. She had basically nothing to do, just signing documents and stamping seals. Her salary also increased to 50 yuan.
Before Zhang Weifang figured out what was going on, he followed people to the office on the third floor.
At noon, she and Xiao Hu were having lunch together, and Xiao Hu made a face at her:
"Weifang, you're really good. You got promoted without any fanfare?"
Zhang Weifang was also confused. She didn't understand the situation:
"Who knows? You don't know me yet. If there was something good I would have told you long ago."
Xiao Hu knew that Zhang Weifang might really not know the inside story, so he suppressed his doubts.
Zhang Weifang returned home and happily announced the good news of her promotion and salary increase. Lu Shi immediately thought of the reason:
"It should be the effort from Weiren."
Zhang Weifang was too embarrassed to call directly about this matter, so during her break, she went directly to Zhang Weiren's house with a bunch of things.
Jin Wen was home alone, and she knew what had happened, so she told her about it. Zhang Weifang was a little worried, so she asked cautiously:
"Thank you Weiren for the work. I hope it won't cause him any trouble. I can't let him make mistakes because of me."
Jin Wen laughed hahaha:
"Sister, it's okay, don't worry. You don't know who your brother is."
In the evening, when Zhang Weiren returned home, he heard that his eldest sister was coming. He felt warm in his heart. No matter when, his eldest sister always considered him first and never took the initiative to ask him for help.
Even Jin Wen had to admit that among the people in his hometown, only his eldest sister had no selfish motives towards them.
In fact, Zhang Weifang is not without selfish motives. She just doesn't want to trouble others easily. However, when she really has no choice, she will speak up.
The same goes for the brothers and sisters in the village. They just envy Zhang Weiren's life, so they want him to help. In their minds, being an official always has a better life than them, so how can there be any pressure?
After Zhang Weifang changed her job, her work became easier. She had nothing to do, so she just read the newspaper and drank tea every day.
Recently, she has been learning how to make insoles with Xiao Hu. The sample of the insoles was given to her by Xiao Hu. It was said that it required newspaper, cotton cloth and glue to be glued together. She found it troublesome, so she asked Xiao Hu for a pair directly.
For the first time, Zhang Weifang learned that the thread used to make insoles is not ordinary thread, but hard transparent plastic thread. The insoles made with this thread are relatively strong and can be worn for many years.
Of course, you can also use colorful embroidery threads to make insoles, but this requires higher technical content. Zhang Weifang doesn't have that ability, so she gave up.
At the same time, Director Wu also received a 50% investment from the Economic Cooperation Office to purchase a dialysis machine for their hospital.
In return, President Wu also gave Zhang Weiren and his unit two free quotas.
No one thought that this quota would actually come in handy one day.
During the Chinese New Year in 1983, Zhang Weifang went back alone again. Zhang Weibao's wife was pregnant, so the New Year's meals were prepared by her sisters.
This year during the Spring Festival, the first Spring Festival Gala was broadcast on TV. It was the first time for everyone to see this kind of live TV broadcast, so they all watched it with great interest and laughed continuously.
Crosstalk and sketches also officially appeared on television for the first time.
Not long after the Chinese New Year, everyone returned to work. In February, a letter came from home that the village had officially distributed the land. Now, every household had its own land.
Most people are happy. As long as they work hard on their own land, they will have a good harvest. Those lazy people are not satisfied. They can no longer be lazy and slack off in the future.
However, the policy was implemented regardless.
Not long after, the Municipal Education Department also announced that both junior high and high schools would change to a three-year school system.
An An has been studying for half a year, so starting from his next class, the three-year system will be implemented.
After entering high school, An An's grades remained as stable as ever. Although not the best, he was still among the top ten in the school. Zhang Weifang was very satisfied with his academic performance.
An An has always wanted to make a lot of money, so he wants to study economics. Zhang Weifang and Lu Shi have no objection as long as he is willing.
However, seeing his uncle's bright and beautiful life, An An thought that being an official would be a good idea. As soon as he expressed his idea, he was unanimously rejected by his parents:
"You're too simple-minded to be an official. Besides, we don't have that gene in our family."
