Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Wang Dong immediately responded: "Uncle..."

"I have only one purpose in becoming a cadre..."

"Let my family live a better life than others, and no longer eat meat in secret. Ordinary people will not dare to bully us or plot against us, and they will definitely not do anything illegal."

Chen Dehui followed up: "I hope you can do what you say."

"As for how to transform from a worker to a cadre, it's a little more troublesome because you are not a military man."

"But as long as the factory leaders give the nod, the relevant procedures will be much simpler."

"First, let's use workers as cadres, and let workers serve as cadres."

"After one to two years, as long as there are no problems and the higher-ups think you are capable of being a good cadre, they can find someone to transfer your cadre status to a cadre establishment."

"It will take at least two years in total."

"Of course, if no one from above helps you speak up, even if you become a cadre in a steel mill through work-for-work, even ten years later, you will still be a worker and not have a cadre position."

“As far as I know, there are quite a few such people in our steel rolling mill.

"Because of his good technical ability, he gained the trust of his superiors and became a cadre, but his worker status remained unchanged. He just did the work of a cadre and received the salary and benefits of a cadre."

"If you really want to be a cadre, I still suggest you get a cadre position so that you can continue to move up. Otherwise, the best you can get is the level of section chief."

Wang Dong's eyes lit up after hearing this.

Deputy Director Li of the steel mill owed him a lot of favors. If he could help him solve one or two problems after the New Year and make some contributions to the steel mill, as long as he put forward the idea of ​​becoming a cadre, Deputy Director Li would definitely find a way to help him change his worker status to a cadre status.

Soon, a general idea of ​​how to get promoted in the kitchen of a steel mill came to my mind.

Looking at Chen Dehui, he answered seriously: "Uncle..."

"I understand everything..."

"If nothing unexpected happens, I will take down the position of deputy director of the kitchen next year, and then find a way to resolve the cadre status."

…………

This year is the second Spring Festival that Wang Dong has celebrated since his time travel.

Compared with last year, this year's New Year's Eve dinner is obviously much more sumptuous.

In addition to the two kilograms of pork belly as a reward from the steel rolling mill, two lunch boxes of pork offal and radish bone soup as New Year's benefits, Wang Dong also prepared steamed bacon, cured pork intestines, cured fish, cured chicken... a whole table of dishes.

Looking at the entire courtyard, Yi Zhonghai, the He family, the Jia family... who gathered together to celebrate the New Year... did not prepare half as many dishes as Wang Dong.

"Dongzi... There is a shortage of supplies in Beijing right now, and many people can't even get a full meal. We have so many dishes for our New Year's Eve dinner, and they are all meat dishes. Isn't it a bit too much?" Looking at the large table of meat dishes in front of him, Chen Dehui was excited and worried, and couldn't help but remind Wang Dong.

Wang Dong answered confidently: "Uncle..."

"There's only one New Year's Eve dinner a year, so if you eat well, no one will complain."

"The pork, offal, and large bones we had for lunch were all rewards given to me by the steel mill."

"As for bacon and fish, I'm a level 8 chef at a steel mill and a canteen supervisor. I take on several banquets every month, so it's normal to have some stock. No one can say anything."

"It's okay even if someone reports it."

"You can eat with confidence."

"Although we can usually eat some bacon, bacon and other things, we have to eat them secretly. It's not as comfortable as today.

"Everyone, pick up your chopsticks. After you finish eating, we will make new ones tomorrow."

"Everyone has worked hard for a year, and it is reasonable for us to treat ourselves to a good meal."

…………The east wing of the central courtyard belongs to Yi Zhonghai’s family.

Compared with last year’s New Year’s Eve dinner with chicken and braised pork.

The New Year’s Eve dinners of the three families this year are very different.

Although He Yuzhu went to the pigeon market every day during this period, he didn't buy any meat or vegetables except for some miscellaneous grains.

It's just too expensive.

A pound of high-quality pork belly is already selling for five or six yuan per pound, and an old hen costs at least fifteen yuan.

With the little money he borrowed from Wang Dong, he couldn't afford to buy pork and chicken.

So today's New Year's Eve dinner only consisted of the pig offal stewed with radishes, potatoes, and cabbage that they brought back from the steel mill, as well as half a pound of pork that Yi Zhonghai was given as a senior fitter at the steel mill.

Jia Zhang thought she would be able to have a good meal with Yi Zhonghai at noon today to celebrate the New Year, but after seeing the food on the table, she simply refused to eat.

Although the Jia family did not serve anything for today's New Year's Eve dinner, the pig offal used to stew radishes and cabbages was all brought back by He Yuzhu from the steel mill.

But in Jia Zhang's opinion, the two boxes of pig offal brought back by He Yuzhu would all belong to her if it weren't for the New Year's Eve dinner in front of her.

Now we make a stew and eat it together. It would be great if I can grab a quarter of it.

As an old pious woman who only takes advantage and never suffers any loss, Jia Zhang was unwilling to suffer any loss in this matter.

An idea came to him in a flash.

"Silly pillar..."

"You are Banggeng's godfather, and you are using these pig offal to entertain my grandson during the New Year?"

"You are such an incompetent godfather..."

"Hurry up and get a chicken. My grandson wants to eat chicken..."

"I also want to eat braised pork and fish..."

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's frown, his eyes looking at Jia Zhang were also full of anger, as if he was about to curse, he quickly advised Jia Zhang: "Mom...what are you talking about?"

"At a time like this, it's good enough to be able to eat pig offal."

"These pig offal are brought back from the steel mill. Not only are they delicious and have no fishy smell, they are also very oily and are no worse than braised pork... It's already great to be able to eat these things. Many people can't even eat pig offal."

"Besides, it's New Year's Day. Where can you ask Zhuzi to get chicken and fish? Isn't this embarrassing for him?"

Seeing that Qin Huairu had already persuaded Jia Zhangshi, Yi Zhonghai could not continue to scold her, so he could only reply, "Sister-in-law of the Jia family..."

"Huai Ru is right..."

"We are better off than many people because we can eat so many delicious foods during the New Year. Let's eat quickly..."

Banggeng was also a rough guy. When he heard Jia Zhang mentioned fish and chicken, he started drooling on the spot and immediately cried towards He Yuzhu with snot and tears.

"Godfather..."

"I want to eat braised pork, chicken, and fish, but not offal..."

"I've been eating pig offal stew every day for a while now, and I'm almost sick of it..."

"Wang Dong's family has braised pork, chicken and fish. I can smell the aroma at home..."

"You are my godfather, you must get him back for me..."

"Otherwise I won't recognize you as my godfather..." (End of this chapter)
