It was just time to get off work, so Qian Shulan wanted to invite Jiang Yuying to have dinner at the Hongqi Hotel.
No matter what, she still has to be grateful for the help of Du Dahai and Jiang Yuying. Without them, she probably wouldn't be able to keep either of the two jobs.
At home, we rely on our neighbors; when we go out, we rely on our friends. Only by interacting with each other can we add human touch.
Last time I gave him a knife, it took a lot of persuasion before Du Dahai accepted it. I guess he will definitely not want to accept it this time, so it would be better to treat them to a meal.
When Jiang Yuying heard her say that she had replaced her youngest son with a worker at the Water Conservancy Bureau, she knew that she really wanted to change jobs. After all, Aunt Qian only had one son with a city hukou, so it was reasonable to change the regular worker to a temporary worker for the other son. So she rode her bicycle and took Qian Shulan to the Red Flag Hotel.
Qian Shulan asked Xiao Longxia to ride Jiang Yuying's bicycle to the Water Conservancy Bureau to call Wang Shouzhi over.
When half of the dishes were served, Wang Shouzhi came over with Xiaodie.
Seeing Xiaodie, Jiang Yuying was so fond of her that she immediately held her in her arms to play with her. This child was so cute.
Although Xiaodie and Li Caiying look very similar, their temperaments are completely different and it is really impossible to mistake them for the same person.
He rubbed Xiaodie's chubby face two or three times. Xiaodie raised her head from time to time, blinking her big round eyes, and looked at Jiang Yuying carefully, which was so cute that Jiang Yuying, a mature woman, burst her heart.
At school, Xiaodie had few friends who wanted to play with her. Those who did had been warned repeatedly by their parents not to play with Wang Xiaodie.
So, Xiaodie has never had many friends in school.
Now seeing that the elder sister was so kind, he immediately gave her a shy and timid smile.
Jiang Yuying took out a ping-pong ball from her bag and handed it to Xiaodie.
Xiaodie took it and threw it to the ground. The ping-pong ball bounced to the ground and then jumped up.
Her eyes lit up, and she quickly ran over to pick up the ping-pong ball that had rolled away. She lowered her head in embarrassment and thanked her.
Jiang Yuying touched her hair and said with a smile, "You're welcome."
After saying that, she praised Wang Shouzhi who had been watching them play, "Your doll is so cute." She had a beautiful smile on her face, with the corners of her mouth raised, her eyebrows curved, and the two dimples on her cheeks were so sweet that it touched people's hearts.
This girl is so beautiful. Wang Shouzhi suddenly felt his heart beating fast. He waved his hands nervously and said, "It's... OK."
Another man shared the same feeling. Guo Zhengliang was urged by his father to come here. When he entered the door, he saw this beautiful and heroic girl showing a peaceful and beautiful smile.
His heart, which had been silent for thousands of years, suddenly started beating.
Thinking that his father was here to cause trouble today, he couldn't help but start to back off.
But Guo Changrong, who was standing behind him, would never let him go like that. Not only did he not let him back out, he even pushed him. “Didn’t you say that the boss of this company introduced this person to you? Bring this person over here. I want to ask him in person if he wants to bribe you.”
Guo Zhengliang looked rough and had a bandit vibe. When he strode in, he spoke loudly, and everyone in the room heard him, and they all turned around and looked at the door.
Guo Zhengliang, with his neck shrunk and an embarrassed look on his face, was pushed in by a middle-aged man.
Du Dahai and Xiaolongxia were still cooking in the kitchen.
Qian Shulan felt that she was the oldest person here and should step forward to help greet people, so she asked with a smile, "Comrade Guo, are you here to see Boss Du?"
Guo Zhengliang raised his head after hearing her voice. He was so excited that he was a little incoherent, "Dad, it's her. The one who exchanged jobs with me is her son." As he spoke, his eyes swept around the room. When he saw Wang Shouzhi, his eyes lit up. He ran forward in two or three steps, pulled Wang Shouzhi's sleeve and introduced him to Guo Changrong, "Dad, it's him. If you don't believe me, ask them if I bullied others. They were the ones who found me the job first. I didn't use your name to bully others. If you don't believe me, ask them!"
After hearing his words, Qian Shulan finally understood what the two meant. It turned out that this person was County Magistrate Guo. Thinking of what Du Dahai had told her about County Magistrate Guo, she smiled and agreed, "Yes, we were the first to find him, and he didn't bully us."
Because she had a good impression of this young man Guo Zhengliang, the smile on her face was particularly warm.
But it was this smile that made Guo Changrong more convinced of his speculation. He was born and raised in a farming family, and he hated it most when officials bullied ordinary people. At home, he repeatedly warned them not to use connections to seek benefits for others.
My youngest son has just been transferred to the Water Conservancy Bureau. A few days ago, I heard him complaining that he was not happy at all working there. But yesterday, I heard someone say that my youngest son has been transferred to the steel plant, and his salary has increased directly to 42 yuan. Other colleagues are all proud of him for having such a capable son.
Even his mortal enemy Pan Dinglin mocked him behind his back, saying that he said one thing to his face and another behind his back. He usually said things like "serve the people" and "don't take a single needle or thread from the masses", but behind his back he oppressed workers without any background.
Guo Changrong could not stand this, and returned home angrily. While Bai Lizhu was not at home, he immediately asked his youngest son to take him to the family to apologize. They were a cadre family, how could they take the lead in oppressing the masses
Guo Zhengliang kept explaining to him, but Guo Changrong didn't believe a word he said. Guo Zhengliang went to the Water Conservancy Bureau to look for someone, but the guard said that the person had just left.
Guo Changrong asked his youngest son to take him to find a middleman. He had to solve this matter today no matter what. Otherwise, how could he face people in the future
So the two of them went to the Hongqi Hotel.
Wang Shouzhi also listened to the general situation. His expression was serious, without any grievance on his face. "Yes, Comrade Guo did not bully me. It was me who did not want to work in the steel plant."
Seeing that the young man seemed to have a frustrated look on his face, Guo Changrong thought that he was wronged by his son, and hurriedly said, "Little comrade, don't be afraid. Although I am this kid's father, I am still the county magistrate of Liuguan County. Don't worry, I can make the decision for you. Don't be afraid. Why do you want to work in the water conservancy bureau when you don't want to be a good steel factory worker? This is nonsense!"
Wang Shouzhi took a step back unconsciously when he heard his voice was so loud. His foot accidentally stepped on Jiang Yuying who was standing behind him. He blushed with embarrassment and lowered his head to apologize to her.
Seeing how shy he was, Jiang Yuying's impression of him was not as bad as before. Before, she had heard Aunt Qian talk about family affairs and felt that Wang Shouzhi was particularly cowardly, but now it seemed that this young man was quite honest.
Guo Zhengliang felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the two of them interacting as if no one was around. He also felt a little depressed when he thought about how he would be embarrassed by his father and make a fool of himself in front of such a beautiful girl.
He defended himself to Guo Changrong, "Dad, I really didn't bully him. He said it himself, why don't you believe it?"
Wang Shouzhi still remembered the bicycle Guo Zhengliang gave him, and he didn't care about being shy anymore, and immediately joined in, "He didn't bully me. I came from the countryside, and I like to go to the countryside."
Hearing him speak so seriously, Guo Changrong seemed to believe it a little.
He turned his head to glance at the old lady, "Auntie, is it true that this brat didn't bully you?"
It was the first time that Qian Shulan was called "Auntie" by a middle-aged man. She twitched her lips, but she didn't know what to say. After all, it was a polite way for the locals to address her.
She smiled and waved her hands. "I really didn't bully Xiaowu. My Xiaowu is a little weak. He always works overtime at the steel plant. I'm worried that his body can't handle it. If he gets sick from exhaustion, he won't be able to continue to contribute to the country, and it will also cause trouble to the country, so I found someone to change his job. When my son wanted to change his job, he didn't even know Comrade Guo. How can he be bullied by him?"
After hearing her explanation, Guo Changrong believed it completely. He suppressed the murderous look on his face, but even so, the banditry that had accumulated over the years did not dissipate much.
He nodded apologetically to everyone and said, "Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, we'll be leaving."
Guo Zhengliang glanced at Jiang Yuying and saw that she was looking at them with a smile, and he felt reluctant to leave. He said to Guo Changrong carefully, "Dad, Mom is home today, let's eat here."
Guo Changrong frowned and was about to teach him a lesson not to follow the capitalist hedonistic lifestyle.
Qian Shulan invited them enthusiastically, "County Magistrate Guo, please come along. I'm treating you today. I'm here to celebrate my son's successful hiring as a temporary worker at the Grain and Oil Bureau. This is a glorious event for our whole family. It's worth celebrating for our whole family. Please do me the honor of joining us for dinner."
Guo Changrong was somewhat willing to do so. He couldn't afford to eat other people's food for free.
Guo Zhengliang, who knew his personality well, said hurriedly, "Dad, we paid our share and we can all benefit from it. I haven't had spicy soup for a long time. The soup cooked by mom is too bland."
This statement really touched Guo Changrong's heart. His wife was good in every way: pretty, gentle, and good at cooking, but her cooking was rather bland, without any spiciness, which was not satisfying.
Since he was transferred to Liuguan County, he has never eaten the delicacies of his hometown. He remembers that when he was a child, he was very greedy for Hu La Tang, which was so sour and spicy. Just thinking about it made his mouth water. He thought about it and agreed, "Then we will eat here, and we have to pay for it ourselves. We can't take advantage of the people, it's not easy for them either."
Guo Zhengliang nodded immediately. To show that he was conscious, he took out three yuan and two kilograms of food coupons from his pocket and handed them to Qian Shulan. At the end, he asked uncertainly, "Is it enough?"
Qian Shulan nodded hurriedly, "Enough, enough"
The people in Liuguan County are relatively conservative, especially the elders must sit in the seats of honor, so Guo Changrong, Du Dahai and Qian Shulan sat together.
Qian Shulan sat next to Du Dahai, and Du Dahai sat in the middle.
He had a good alcohol tolerance and drank a few glasses with Guo Changrong.
Qian Shulan took the opportunity to ask about the Great Steel Production Campaign and the launching of satellites.
Although it is not yet the time for the whole nation to start steel-making, steel mills in various regions have set tasks that are several times more than last year.
The leaders of Beitai Iron and Steel Plant did not deliberately oppress Wang Shouzhi, and the tasks assigned by them were indeed very tight, so they did not approve his request for leave.
Seeing that an old lady was also concerned about national affairs, Guo Zhengliang couldn't help but praise her in his heart, "This old lady is of high quality." Then he thought that she invited her son to dinner because he was successfully recruited as a temporary worker, and he felt that this old lady was a capable person. He did not hesitate to answer her question and nodded directly, "Yes, I heard that the higher-ups are about to hold the second meeting of the Eighth National Congress, and the decision will be made by then. Our country's steel production is still not enough." In this era, the biggest factor proving a country's strength is steel production. Therefore, the higher-ups issued the goal of "catching up with the United States and surpassing Britain."
Qian Shulan didn't quite understand all this, but when she was in school, she had memorized a passage about the losses caused by the Great Steel Production Movement. The eight words "heavy losses, costly labor and manpower" were not enough to describe it.
What’s more, this Great Steelmaking Movement was the root cause of the □□.
All the strong laborers went to make steel, and there was no one to collect the grain from the production team. In addition, the weather was not good the following year, so the tragedy happened.
Qian Shulan also knew that she couldn't change such a big decision. Moreover, she felt even more disappointed when she heard Guo Changrong seemed to support the steel production campaign. If even the head of a county supported it, what good would happen
After thinking about it, she decided to forget it and not waste her breath. Otherwise, not only would her persuasion fail, but he would also label her as a bad element who sabotaged □□. How unfair that would be for her.
She admitted that she was a coward and she only dared to save people from behind. As for being Liu Hulan who died heroically, she did not have that courage and could not have done it.
So, she stopped talking to Guo Changrong afterwards.
It made her discover something more interesting.
Jiang Yuying's bowl was actually filled with dishes by Guo Zhengliang.
Jiang Yuying's face turned red, and she lowered her head embarrassedly and thanked him.
Wang Shouzhi had been taking care of Xiaodie and making sure she was well fed. He occasionally glanced at the two of them, but then quickly lowered his head.
Qian Shulan didn't think much about it, thinking that he was just too envious of the two of them.
Qian Shulan turned around and looked at Jiang Yuying next to her, feeling that her spring should have arrived.
She couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth. The handsome man and beautiful woman were indeed a perfect match.
