Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Yan Bugui just said it casually, and He Yuzhu really waited. He didn't know what to do. After all, the money he exchanged was not small, and he didn't want anyone to know!
"No, there aren't many in total. There's no need to go back. By the way, Third Uncle, please watch out for them. Don't let anyone snatch them away. Make sure you keep them safe!"

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he rode his bike and disappeared in front of Yan Bugui. Yan Bugui didn't feel anything at first, but after hearing what He Yuzhu said, he realized it belatedly and became scared.
Just now, I was only concerned about not getting in touch with He Yuzhu, and I didn't take any precautions at all. This money was squeezed out of the family's teeth over the years, and there must be no problem.

This was his life savings. If it was robbed, what difference would it make from taking his life? Thinking of this, he didn't even want to change it and went home directly.
But looking at the bank door, he hesitated for a moment and finally walked in. It was just a matter of time, so just be careful!

He Yuzhu didn't care about it. The exchanged money went directly into the portable space. It was very safe. It would not be a problem to take it out when he got home at night!
"Zhu Zi, where did you go just now? No one answered the phone. There will be a meeting of all factory cadres at 11 o'clock. Don't be late!"

Not long after I came back, I received a phone call. I knew it was Li Huaide's voice. During this period, Li Huaide was quite satisfied with He Yuzhu. Not only did he cooperate with me at work, but he was also very energy-saving. He invested the least energy in the canteen!

"Director, isn't today March 3st? I have some spare money, so I changed it into new currency. I'm not a cadre, so there's no need for me to participate, right?"

He Yuzhu didn't know what the call was about. To him, being a little late didn't matter. He didn't have to attend the handover meeting. As long as he didn't delay anything, no one would criticize him!

"Haha, you are quite quick and aware. You still have to attend this meeting. It is about the adjustment of cadres. As the canteen director, how can I not attend? Don't be late!"

He Yuzhu stared at the microphone in astonishment. Damn it, couldn't that damn Li Huaide explain it clearly? He wasn't in the cadre sequence, so what kind of cadre meeting was this?
Unfortunately, the notice has been issued and he has to go even if he doesn't want to. Li Huaide is his direct superior and he has to give him face. He has always been very conscious!
In the cadre meeting room of the steel rolling mill, He Yuzhu found a corner in advance and tried to reduce his presence as much as possible. It was quite uncomfortable for a non-cadre to attend the cadre meeting!

"Comrades, after more than two years of hard work and the joint efforts of all comrades in the factory, the public-private partnership of the steel rolling mill has been completely completed. As a pilot unit, the effect is remarkable. Now, Deputy Director Yang Weimin will announce the new cadre appointments!"

The meeting was chaired by the secretary, who looked beaming with joy, apparently having been praised by his superiors. For officials, praise from superiors represents capital, and is the happiest thing for them!
"Order: Gong 1955 Gan Zi No. 0025

Comrade Wu Lei was appointed as the secretary of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill Committee, and Comrade Wang Bo, former deputy minister of the Ministry of Industrial Production, was appointed as the director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill;
Yang Weimin, former acting deputy director of Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, was appointed deputy director of Red Star Steel Rolling Mill;
Li Huaide, former deputy director of the Logistics Department, is appointed director of the Logistics Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. . .

The canteen director He Yuzhu is a deputy-section-level canteen director. . .

Lou Zhenhua, the director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, no longer serves as the director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill;
Zheng Kangzhan, the director of the logistics department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, is no longer the director of the logistics department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and has been appointed to another position. . .

Secretary of the *** Committee of the Ministry of Industry: ***, Minister ***
November 1955, 3"

He Yuzhu looked at the boiling conference hall with emotion. This represented the true transformation of the Red Star Steel Mill from private to public. Lou Zhenhua completely withdrew from the management and could only receive dividends in the future, but would no longer participate in the management of the steel mill.
But he didn't expect that this time he was given a benefit, from being a worker to being a cadre. He didn't care about it, it was just an extra cadre status.

His job was still that of canteen director, and he still had to cook for the canteen, but it sounded a lot better, and of course, his status was also improved;
The canteen director who was originally not a rank was also given a rank. This was something he did not expect. From now on, I am also a rank person. There will definitely be more restrictions. After all, the image of a cadre must also be taken care of!
"Ahem, at the end of the meeting, we would like to emphasize the praise for the canteen director, Comrade He Yuzhu. This young comrade has a high level of awareness and actively responded to the policies from above.
We have read the newspapers and relevant notices, which require us to start exchanging new currency today. Comrade He Yuzhu has already gone to the bank to exchange before work. If the bank had not called to verify, as the secretary, I would not have known that there are comrades with such good awareness in our factory.
I hope everyone will learn from Comrade He Yuzhu. I know that many people are still on the sidelines.
However, as the secretary, I want to tell you that the financial market in China has been completely stabilized, so your worries are unnecessary. The meeting is adjourned!"

After the secretary finished speaking, he turned and left. The factory leaders followed him out one after another. There were many things that needed to be dealt with as the new and old leaders took over. As for the comrades present, they began to chatter about the leaders, and some talked about He Yuzhu!

He Yuzhu returned to the office and sorted out the things in his memory. From now on, material supply will become the main work, which will be very challenging for the canteen.
Starting next year, edible oil will also be rationed, and the purchase of pork with coupons will be effective until December 1957, 12, and the purchase of pork with coupons per person will be effective until January 1.

It seems that it is time to slowly stock up on some food supplies. In the space, there are 1,000 kilograms of refined rice, 1,000 kilograms of white flour, and ten fat pigs obtained from signing in on the day of rebirth. These supplies have never been used. It is time to replace the refined rice with corn flour.

The current supplies are not that tight, but it will be different in a few years, especially in difficult times. The challenges are quite great, and preparations must be made in advance;

There are still more than three years left, so we must prepare for the future life. We can’t be too ostentatious, but we can’t let our wife and children suffer.

Not only can we not go hungry, we can not be short of oil and water, and we must appear reasonably and legally, so that people will not think it is too abrupt and report it. This needs to be prepared in advance;
Life was difficult, adults could still get by, but what about children? The difficult period lasted for three years. Many people suffered from physical depletion during the three-year difficult period, which led to poor physical condition. At this time, they had to prepare in advance;

There was definitely enough pork, and it was impossible to eat it all. But after the difficult times, the supply of pork was no longer very abundant. This was why the space had not been used in all these years.

In difficult times, food is much more important than money. You can even take out half of your pork and replace it with cornmeal and white flour.

It shouldn't be a problem to gradually digest 500 kilograms of pork and 1,000 kilograms of refined rice over three years. As long as we stick to the long-term approach, such a small amount shouldn't arouse suspicion from others! (End of this chapter)
