"Officer Wu, what a coincidence, I ran into you again."
Xu Meizi didn't sit down right away, but stood aside with a bowl of rice in her hand, it seemed like a coincidence.
Wu Jian was praised by the circular this time, and he felt good in his heart. When he saw Xu Meizi, he smiled and said, "Comrade Xu Meizi, what a coincidence, why don't we sit here and have dinner together?"
Xu Meizi naturally sat down happily.
Seeing Xu Meizi's shy smile, Wu Jian pursed his lips and smiled, and saw that Xu Meizi's food was exactly the same as his own, so he naturally knew what the other person was thinking.
But it's still early, so there's no need to settle too early. If he develops well, there will be many good female workers in the mine in the future, and there is no need to find a female apprentice with a rural household registration.
Seeing him smiling at her, Xu Meizi was overjoyed, remembering the praise he had seen on the bulletin board, with a bit of admiration on his face.
"Now the whole mine knows that there is a number one person like you in the trade union. It is much better than those who have been here for many years and few people in the mine know each other. It is only my uncle who has a lot of dealings with workers and knows him. There are also many people."
Mentioning this matter, Wu Jian himself felt very proud.
Although Xu Nannan's house hadn't been settled yet, after all, he made himself look good in front of the mining committee, the mine manager, and even the entire mining area workers, which was almost the same as he had expected.
But on the surface, he still pretended to be a little unhappy, "I deserve it. I didn't even think about these honors. I just wanted to seek justice for the workers in the mine and benefit them. Unfortunately, I People are soft-spoken, and some people are too stubborn and selfish. It's useless to say that I broke my mouth. If things haven't been done, no matter how much praise I have, I'm embarrassed to accept it."
Xu Meizi said, "Who are you talking about? Someone is causing trouble?"
"It's not really a disturbance, it's just a person occupying the small room. You told me that Comrade Xu Nannan is very stubborn and stubborn. I didn't believe it, but this time I have learned a lesson."
Xu Meizi was a little confused, and seemed to understand something, "You mean, this matter has something to do with Xu Nannan? What does she have to do with the young couple?"
"She occupies the small two rooms by herself. It doesn't matter what you say. This is the first time I have met such a selfish person. There are so many people in the mine who don't have a house to live in. She lives in such a spacious house alone. Knowing how to release it to those who need it in the mine, what is the reason for this?"
Speaking of this, Wu Jian felt a little indignant. I feel that there are people like Xu Nannan in the mine, it's like a pot of mouse droppings ruining a pot of porridge.
No wonder even her own parents couldn't tolerate her. If the younger sisters in his family were like her, they would have been kicked out of the house long ago.
Xu Meizi couldn't see anything now, not even Wu Jian's gentle face, and there was only one thing left in her mind. Xu Nannan actually has a house, and it's still two small ones!
Her uncle Xu Jiansheng has been working in the mine for so many years, and he is still a director. He manages so many workers, so he was divided into two small rooms. Now that she is such an old girl, she has to sleep in the same room with her brother.
But she also knows that many of the female apprentices who work with her have to sleep in the same room with the married brother-in-law. At night, when the brother-in-law does business, they just pull a curtain, and the female apprentices have to pretend that they don’t know anything. Don't mention how embarrassing it is.
So Xu Meizi always felt that she was lucky, at least she was able to share the same bed with Xu Hong instead of sharing the same bed with the old man.
But Xu Nannan slept in the smaller room by himself. She took Siya and one child with her, and the two elder sisters lived in such a house, and they could each sleep in the same room.
Xu Meizi finished eating in a trance, but didn't hear what Wu Jian said clearly, her head was filled with these things.
When she went to work in the afternoon, because she was in a trance, she was scolded by the master a few times, which made her feel ashamed.
Here, Xu Nannan didn't worry about it anymore. Anyway, the Mining Committee didn't say anything here, so what else can others say
Wu Jian seemed to still want to talk to the mine manager about it, so he kept looking at the mine manager's office. It's a pity that mine manager Gao didn't come to work this afternoon. Several other deputy mine managers were also absent.
He could only look at Xu Nannan angrily. I feel that sooner or later, I will be able to clean up this socialist cancer. Get her out of the ranks of the great working class.
Regarding Wu Jian's persistence, Xu Nannan also said that what is out of sight is pure.
After work, Xu Nannan was going to pick up Xu Xiaoman and go to the cafeteria for dinner. Although she has a house now, her food relationship is still in the mine, and she still eats in the mine for the time being.
On the way, Wu Qing took the rice bowl and prepared to go to the cafeteria to get some food. Seeing Xu Nannan, she immediately walked over, "Nannan, Jiang Lili's incident, I really didn't mean it. I didn't know she would make trouble."
She still looked as timid as worth the money, with a bit of sincere guilt on her face, which made Xu Nannan feel a little disgusted.
It's not that she is blind, it's just that the other party is too involved in the play, and she plays the honest person very penetratingly.
Xu Nannan said expressionlessly, "I just want to ask you one thing. During my last exam, did you break the pen?"
She also recalled it now. She suspected Jiang Lili before, but now that she sees Wu Qing like this, she is more likely to find Wu Qing.
With Jiang Lili's brain, she really can't do such a smart thing.
Wu Qing was stunned for a while, "What kind of pen, I don't know."
"It's fine if you don't know, I don't live in the dormitory anyway, and we won't see each other in the future." Xu Nannan didn't bother to talk to her, anyway, it's meaningless. People won't admit it, what can you do
Seeing Xu Nannan like this, Wu Qing's eyes turned red, "Xu Nannan, why are you like this? I don't remember the previous dormitory after I moved out. I know you hate me, but this house is indeed a problem. You live alone Such a big house…”
"Is it in your way?" Xu Nannan asked.
Wu Qing was taken aback, "What?"
"I said I live in a big house, is it in your way? Is it in your eyes? Wu Qing, I used to think you were quite pitiful, and I thought you had a similar temperament to my sister Xiaoman. Now Thinking about it, it's really insulting my sister. At least my sister is kind-hearted and won't play tricks on others behind her back."
Wu Qing listened, her face turned blue, her lips were trembling with excitement.
Xu Nannan didn't care about her. Such a person is a rat in the gutter, and he can't see the light. Dealing with such a person made her feel sick. It's not as good as Jiang Lili's mindless bluffing.
Walking out of the mining area, Xiaoman was already doing his homework in the guard room, and Wei Guobing was also watching inside.
Seeing Xu Nannan, Wei Guobing asked, "I heard you bought a house outside?"
Xu Nannan smiled and said, "Someone else lived for us temporarily."
"That's really a good man. These days, the houses are so expensive. You and Xiaoman are both lucky people." Look at a little country girl who was married to a fool before, and then she became I have become a regular worker in the factory, and I still sit in an office. Now it is even more serious, and the house has been settled. Wei Guobing secretly felt Xu Nannan's good luck, and whispered to Xu Nannan, "Don't let your family know about this." He was worried that Xu Nannan's parents, especially her mother, would rob Nannan again for the sake of her nephew and niece. As for the house, Nannan will suffer at that time.
After all, he thinks that children can't win over their parents.
Xu Nannan smiled, guessing that she couldn't hide this matter. As for the ambiguous relationship between Wu Jian and Xu Meizi, I'm afraid it will be a matter of time.
In fact, Xu Meizi had already gone home to look for Li Jing at this moment.
Xu Hong was at the door, and Li Jing was watching her doing her homework. When she saw Xu Meizi came back, she said sourly, "Oh, our big worker is back."
Li Jing was picking vegetables at the side, also with a serious face. Obviously he has some opinions on Xu Meizi.
It turned out that Xu Meizi had been accepted as an apprentice, and the mine had fifteen catties of grain and twenty yuan a month. I thought that with the money and food, the family would be less burdened.
As a result, Xu Meizi just went to work, and the grain was put in the canteen of the mine.
Anyway, the salary hasn't been paid yet, and Li Jing didn't get the money, so she didn't worry about it yet. Xu Meizi didn't take any of the food stamps issued by the mine back home. Seeing Tian'er go to the cafeteria to eat, she just didn't want to save a few food stamps and bring them back to her.
I don't even think about it, if it wasn't because Lao Xu was in the mine, she would still be able to go to the mine to take the exam
Xu Meizi also knew that Li Jing had a problem with her these days. But now that she has a job and can support herself, she doesn't think how important her aunt's face is.
If it wasn't for something, she wouldn't be here to see Li Jing's face.
"Auntie, I have something to tell you."
Li Jing lowered her head to pick vegetables, without even looking at her.
Xu Meizi took a breath, and said word by word, "Auntie, Erya has a house outside, and it's still the younger one. She and Xiaoman live here."
Hearing this, Li Jing thought she was hallucinating.
Xu Hong also covered her mouth and laughed, "You're talking in your sleep, haha, where did you get the house?" Xu Nannan and Xu Xiaoman squeezed together on the small bed in the single dormitory, she couldn't say how happy she was.
Xu Meizi swallowed, "It's true, people in the mine knew about it, and opposed her because of this, and asked her to teach the house. It's a serious little couple."
Seeing Xu Meizi's seriousness, Li Jing also believed it, "Is it true?"
"Uncle, if you don't believe me, go to the mining committee and ask. Everyone in the mining committee knows."
Li Jing's eyes straightened immediately.
The second bedroom is not a house issued by the mine, but my own second bedroom.
What does this mean, it means... If you can move your household registration to this house, then you will be a serious urbanite.
At this time, if you want to change your household registration, as long as there is a place willing to accept it, you can transfer it. Xu Jiansheng has a collective account in the mine, and this house is also the public property of the mine, so it cannot be used to transfer the account to his family members.
But if it is his own small two rooms, no, even if it is one room, the household registration has a place to stay. In the future, they will be able to receive food supplies in an open and honest manner. Not only food, but also rock sugar, sesame oil, these rare things that are in short supply, I will have my own share in the future.
Xu Hong didn't expect the change of household registration, but after knowing that Xu Nannan turned over from Xianyu and got his own house, she felt very upset. Why, Erya, this dead girl, is so lucky.
I have been admitted as a worker, and I still have a house.
This is too evil.
Early the next morning, Li Jing tried to go to the mine to inquire about it. She went directly to the secretary of the Mining Committee. This matter is not considered a secret, and he didn't hide it. She just said what she knew.
Li Jing's whole heart has been hanging.
Small room.
This is her daughter's house.
As for whether the house really belongs to Xu Nannan completely, Li Jing doesn't think it's a problem. I feel that as long as people live in it, the house belongs to them. Could it be possible to drive people out
She thought, and began to ponder in her heart.
With Xu Ling's tip-off, Xu Nannan naturally knew that the Xu family knew about his house.
"I think Sanya sister is holding back, she must have no good intentions. Mom is also holding back her thoughts." In the guard room, Xu Ling analyzed what she saw and heard while eating a lollipop. .
Xu Nannan patted her head, "Xiaoling did the right thing, but don't worry about this matter, sister is not afraid of them. By the way, Xiaoling, I heard from Xiaoman that they want to send you back to the countryside to study?"
When this matter was mentioned, Xu Ling's little face wrinkled into a ball.
"I'm not going. I'd rather not study or go to the countryside."
"They don't study for me, and I won't give them old age in the future."
Seeing her upright look, Xu Nannan felt that this was not something a child said, and asked, "Where did you learn this?"
"Sister Sanya said so. Dad asked her to work in the mine, and she secretly told Brother Long Long that Dad would not let her go to school, and she would not give Dad any money and food in the future. Keep it, and let Brother Longlong be smarter, don't always learn from Brother Leizi."
Does this count as learning from others
Although Xiaoling's idea was not completely wrong, Xu Nannan didn't want her to be influenced by Xu Meizi in the future and become a scheming girl. After thinking about it, she felt that she was too naive and scheming. Could it be that she was as simple as Xiaoman
This question is really not sure.
"It's okay, Xiaoling still has to study, and when the time comes, let your parents support you, sister can help you." No matter what, I can help. Although this little sister is not her own sister, at least she is regarded as her own sister. It can't compare to the feeling of sharing weal and woe with Xiao Man, but there is always some feeling.
Xu Ling didn't believe Xu Nannan's assurance. If my sister really had a way, why would she have been sent to the countryside in the first place? But she made up her mind that she would never go back to the countryside. Otherwise, the old lady would definitely eat her.
When she grows up, she will learn from Sister Sanya and earn money to support herself.
Xu Nannan thought that this time Li Jing would definitely make a scene like the old lady, but after waiting for two days, she didn't come to make a scene.
Have you changed your temper
Xu Nannan didn't believe that Li Jing had changed her temper, and thought of Xu Ling's words in her heart, she was holding back her bad temper.
Before Li Jing came to make trouble, there was a problem in the mine.
There is no food.
There have been signs of this for a long time. Since the Chinese New Year, the food coming to the mine has become less and less. After the new year, several mine managers began to work hard on this matter, asking their connections to get food everywhere. After all, Nanjiang Iron Mine is the largest unit in the entire county, with thousands of people. If there is a shortage of food, the entire iron mine workers will have to drink northwest wind. Even the family members of the workers have to starve.
I was worried that this matter would cause the workers to be nervous, so this matter is subtle. The food in the cafeteria is getting less and less day by day. As long as there are food stamps, they can be eaten open, and now there are food stamps and rations. The workers are slowly feeling a little bit of signs.
Seeing that there is not enough food, and the supply of food will be distributed at the end of the month, the head of the mine is anxiously graying. After discussing with several mine managers, they decided to give full play to the strength of the workers to raise food.
Naturally, such a major event should be handed over to the leaders of the Mining Committee. People like Xu Nannan who have just studied in the Mining Committee do not have this task. It's a pity that Comrade Xu Nannan is a member of the glorious procurement department. This time the procurement department has a heavy responsibility, and it still feels that it is not enough to use all the available people. Thinking of Comrade Xu Nannan who was still studying in the Mining Committee, he immediately asked the Mining Committee to be transferred back.
Now that something like this has happened in the factory, no one can bother to bring in newcomers. Seeing the important people in the procurement department, the mining committee directly sent a transfer letter, and they went back to their respective houses and found their own mothers.
So Xu Nannan and his group were transferred back to their respective departments before they had studied for a full month.
Wu Jian was the happiest of all. After knowing that he was going to be transferred back, he felt that he could finally flex his muscles on the stage, and his joy was beyond words.
The comrades of the Mining Committee looked at this comrade's innocent appearance, and they didn't have the nerve to tell him that the trade union was busy due to the lack of food these days.
The source of this is because of Wu Jian's generous and selfless example before, everyone is now looking for the trade union to solve it. What should I do if I don’t have enough food at home? Look for comrades from the trade union. People have said that we must be impartial and serve the workers.
What is worthy of gratitude is that it has really shared a lot of pressure on the Mining Committee.
Xu Nannan didn't have the leisure to watch Wu Jian's jokes anymore. She just entered the procurement department, and no one recognized it. Chief Xiao arranged a task for her, a thousand catties of grain.
Chief Xiao is an old man who is about to retire. Regardless of his age, when he was young, he went to many places and had a wide range of opportunities. After becoming the head of the procurement department, he was like a fish in water, and he could successfully complete any procurement task. Anyone who can't buy something, find him, and he can always find a way to buy it.
But this time Section Chief Xiao was also worried.
There are more than 3,000 people to feed. The Purchasing Section used to buy some mechanical parts for the mine, some protective equipment for the workers, and at most bought some fish for the cafeteria. When did you buy a lot of food like this
To survive here for a while, at least one hundred thousand catties of grain would be needed.
Fortunately, the Mining Committee still had a conscience and didn't give them a death mission. The entire procurement department divided 30,000 catties of grain equally. There were six people in the procurement department, and each of them was worth several thousand catties of grain. Xu Nannan only got 1,000 catties of grain, and they took care of her as a newcomer.
"What can I exchange for food?"
Xu Nannan looked at his task list and asked suspiciously. You can't be a white wolf with empty gloves.
"Cash, industrial tickets, food stamps, as long as there is a request, you can bring it up, but there is only one thing, the task must be completed." Chief Xiao glanced at everyone, "Now if you have a request, hurry up, don't turn around and fail to complete the task, what excuses?" can be found.”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone began to make demands.
Xu Nannan sat on one side, lowered his head in thought, and then entered his Taobao store.
After some searching, there are indeed grains that sell shells, such as barley, beans, millet... Anyway, you can find coarse grains and fine grains.
Judging from the lowest price, the slightly inferior ones are quite cheap, ranging from a few cents a catty.
This task is not difficult.
Xu Nannan came out of his Taobao store in peace of mind, thinking about how he should operate.
Purchasing food is definitely no problem. But she can't use the money from her Taobao store to repost.
Seeing a pile of industrial tickets on the table, Xu Nannan's eyes lit up, and he raised his hand, "Can I exchange all the food stamps for industrial tickets?"
Hearing her words, everyone looked at her and felt that her request was a bit unreliable. You are here to collect food, is it useful to get industrial tickets instead of food stamps
Xu Nannan didn't hide his secrets. I didn't make it clear at this time. When I turned around, I really completed the task. People have to blame her for not reminding everyone earlier, "I lived in the countryside before, and the farmers had food in their hands, and they were reluctant to eat it. It’s definitely still there now. It’s useless for us to collect food and get other things, we have to get some things they need. I’m thinking about taking some rare industrial products to exchange with them, the effect should be better.”
Hearing this, everyone looked at Chief Xiao.
They really can't say for sure. In fact, what they wanted was to go to the black market to see the situation, but the food in the black market seemed to be quite expensive.
If it is really like what Comrade Xu Nannan said, it would be pretty good to find comrades from farmers to collect grain.
Section Chief Xiao is a traveler after all, so he also thinks this is a good idea. It's just that it's still a little difficult to estimate the grain collection. After all, the peasant comrades don't have enough food to eat.
But in the end, he supported Xu Nannan's request, "You can get an industrial ticket."
Several other people also moved a little thought.
"I think Comrade Xu Nannan's method is very good. I will also get more industrial tickets." A young male officer raised his hand. This person is of medium build, very thick, and seems to be popular. As soon as he spoke, several other officers also said, "Then let's bring some industrial tickets with us."
"I'm afraid there won't be enough industrial tickets, so we have to find the Mining Committee to change them." Section Chief Xiao rubbed his chin, stood up and said, "I'll go and change it, and you should go home and pack it up. This business trip has a mission, everyone. Be cautious. If you find food, send a telegram to the mine as soon as possible, and the mine will arrange a car to pull it."
Looking at Xu Nannan again, "Comrade Xu Nannan, you are a newcomer, I will arrange someone to take you with you." This new employee is still too young. Chief Xiao was a little worried.
Xu Nannan immediately said, "Report to the section chief, I'm going to go to my hometown for a walk, it shouldn't be a problem, and I don't need to waste the precious time of other comrades." If she really wants to be followed, how will she act then? Thank you for your kindness.
Chief Xiao nodded.
Women can also hold up half the sky, and our procurement department doesn't need to drag oil bottles.
As soon as Chief Xiao left, everyone really got busy.
The honest gay man also came over and said to Xu Nannan, "Comrade Xu Nannan, you are welcome to join our procurement department. I am too busy this time, and everyone has no time to give you a welcome meeting. one time."
He said again, "Oh, by the way, my name is Xia Weimin."
Xu Nannan was still very cautious when dealing with new colleagues who were not clear about the situation, with a very polite smile on his face, "Thank you, and I will ask comrades for more advice in the future."
Fortunately, Xia Weiming didn't say much. His home is near the mine, so he has to go back quickly to pack his things.
Xu Nannan lived far away, so he didn't go back to pack his things at all. He just went to Zhu Fang and asked her to take care of Xiaoman during this time.
