Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

When Jia Zhang heard Yi Zhonghai mention Chen Jun, she suddenly became timid.

Banggeng is his lifeblood. Over the past decade or so, the main reason why Jia Zhang was able to control his temper and act like a coward in the courtyard was that he was worried that he would make mistakes that would affect Banggeng's work at the steel mill.

When he heard that Wang Dong's wife could also influence Bang Geng's work at the steel rolling mill, his arrogance disappeared in an instant.

Fearing that Yi Zhonghai was exaggerating, he asked Bang Geng directly: "My dear grandson..."

"Tell grandma..."

"Wang Dong's wife can really affect your work at the steel mill. Yi Zhonghai didn't lie to me...

Banggeng's idea of ​​revenge on Wang Dong was instantly extinguished when he heard Yi Zhonghai mention Chen Jun.

Looking at Jia Zhang's unwilling face, although she felt helpless, she still had to sigh and answer: "Grandma..."

"Dad Yi is right..."

"Wang Dong's wife has a greater influence on my work."

At this point, Bang Geng suddenly thought of something and continued, "Dad Yi..."

"I almost forgot one thing."

"Although Wang Dong resigned from the steel mill today, his wife Chen Jun was promoted. She is now the deputy director of the production department of the steel mill and concurrently serves as the head of the technical department... She has become a true deputy director-level cadre of the steel mill..."

"Do you think Chen Jun's promotion today is related to Wang Dong's resignation?"

Yi Zhonghai has never been a cadre and doesn't know the intricacies of the job.

He shook his head and replied, "I don't know if the two things are related."

"But one thing is certain."

"Wang Dong definitely did not resign from the steel mill because he made a mistake, otherwise the steel mill would never have promoted his wife."

"Remember this clearly. As long as Wang Dong's wife is still a cadre at the steel mill, we cannot offend their family."

"Whether it's the technical department or the production department... they are all responsible for the workshops."

"If Wang Dong's wife really sets her sights on him someday, he will have plenty of reasons to target Bang Geng, and even fire him from the steel mill."

"Don't forget that Bang Geng is still just an apprentice in a steel mill."

"You have to wait until Banggeng is fully legalized before you can pay to turn the house you live in into a private house."

"If we offend Wang Dong now and the steel mill fires Bang Geng, the Jia family will not only lose their jobs at the steel mill, but also the house they live in now."

After hearing this, Jia Zhang's idea of ​​taking advantage of the opportunity to retaliate against Wang Dong completely disappeared, and she even showed a hint of fear on her face.

Fearing that the place where he lived would be taken away by the steel mill, he quickly replied to Yi Zhonghai: "I have been a coward in the courtyard for more than ten years. I don't mind staying there for two more years."

"rest assured……"

"I, Jia Zhang, can distinguish the important from the unimportant."

"I will definitely avoid Wang Dong if I see him from now on, and I will never have a conflict with his family."

After hearing Jia Zhang's assurance, the worried expression on Yi Zhonghai's face suddenly disappeared by more than half.

The main reason why he did not disappear completely was that he couldn't understand why Wang Dong resigned from the steel mill at this time.

Don't give up a good job and return to your hometown to be an unemployed vagrant.

Yi Zhonghai was the kind of person who hated things getting out of control. Plus, he and Wang Dong were mortal enemies. He was afraid that Wang Dong's resignation from the steel mill had something to do with him, and he would not even realize how he had suffered a loss.

Then he turned his attention to his daughter-in-law Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi: "Huairu... Jia Zhangshi..."

"If you have time during this period, you can keep an eye on Wang Dong..."

"See what this guy is going to do after he quits the steel mill."

"No one with any sense would do such a thing as giving up a good job."

"Wang Dong is a smart man, he will definitely not do stupid things." "Unless there are greater benefits waiting for him outside."

"Keep a close eye on Wang Dong and find out the real reason why he resigned from the steel mill. Maybe we can gain some benefits from this incident."

…………

The front yard of the quadrangle.

Tang Dashan and Yu Li were also discussing Wang Dong's resignation from the steel mill.

"Wife...I want to tell you something, please don't be angry..." When dinner was almost over, Tang Dashan, who had hesitated for a long time, finally plucked up the courage to speak.

Yu Li rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "I was wondering why you were so absent-minded during dinner tonight. I thought you had done something to let me down..."

"As long as you haven't done anything to let us down, you can say whatever you want..."

"Even if I don't agree, we can still discuss it."

Tang Dashan scratched his head and answered embarrassedly: "I know that my wife will definitely agree to me..."

"stop……"

Yu Li interrupted Tang Dashan without hesitation before he could continue: "I didn't say I agreed with what you were going to say, I just said that we can discuss anything."

"Don't be so petty and have any evil thoughts in front of me, kid."

"Say it……"

"I have to give my two sons a bath later, so I don't have the time to play around with you here."

Tang Dashan quickly sat down in front of Yu Li and said, "Wife..."

"In two months, I also want to resign from the steel mill and go out to work with my master..."

"Resign..." Yu Li's eyes widened immediately. She looked at her man with an incredulous expression and asked back, "Are you crazy..."

"You were working well in the steel mill, why did you quit..."

"You are a canteen monitor, and you get a subsidy of ten yuan a month. Add to that the salary of an eighth-level chef, and you make more than fifty yuan a month."

"Most of the workers in the steel mill don't earn as much as you do. Why did you quit such a good job and do something else..."

"I disagree……"

"My monthly salary at the steel mill is only over 30 yuan, and my family's living expenses are almost entirely dependent on you."

"If you lose your job, our family will lose more than half of its income. How can we live in the future relying on my work alone? Where will the money for our two sons to go to school..."

"When they grow up, they will have to marry."

"If you lose your job and our family is broke, our two sons may not even be able to find wives."

"Tang Dashan..."

"I'm telling you, I can agree with you on everything else, but I don't agree with you quitting your job at the steel mill."

"Don't even think about it."

Tang Dashan didn't expect his wife's reaction to be so exaggerated, and quickly explained: "Wife..."

"What are you thinking? I just quit my job at the steel mill. I won't stop working in the future..."

Yu Li got even angrier after hearing this and replied angrily: "Now the city is full of people looking for jobs. Don't think I don't know."

"If you really quit the steel mill, it won't be easy to find a new job."

“And even if you find a new job, the salary won’t be as high as in the steel mill.”

"After all, you are also the canteen supervisor at the steel mill, and you get a ten-yuan subsidy every month."

"If you go to other factories, they will definitely not let you work as a shift worker right away." (End of this chapter)
