Chapter 9 Training Opportunities

Don't underestimate the doormen of this era, they are also on the payroll.

Especially the security guards of some important factories, their status in the factory is no lower than that of ordinary workers.

The security guard of the clinic's dormitory building is also a regular employee and is said to be a retired veteran.

"Old Li, can you lend me the wheelbarrow next to you to pull a coal stove and honeycomb briquettes?"

When Jiang Hui came here for the first time, he greeted the security guard, Lao Li.

Today, he took out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes from his pocket as if he was familiar with the routine and handed one to Lao Li.

He himself is a non-smoker, but he cannot be without cigarettes. Many times, a problem can be solved by handing over a cigarette, and there is no need to waste too much saliva.

"Go!"

Lao Li took the big front door and hung it on his right ear skillfully. "Just remember to put it back to its original place after use."

Daqianmen, which costs 3.5 cents a pack, is considered a good cigarette in this era, but Lao Li obviously doesn't plan to smoke it now.

With tickets and money, the process of buying a coal stove and honeycomb coal was naturally smooth.

As for the salesperson's bad attitude, Jiang Hui has gotten used to it.

In this era, the salesmen and waiters in supply and marketing cooperatives, restaurants and other places were all employees of state-owned enterprises. They had stable jobs and their social status was higher than that of workers.

In the Qing Dynasty, Cheng Yuansheng wrote in "Children's Stories: Geography": "The world is ever-changing."

Drivers, salesmen, announcers, as well as postmen and grain station inspectors.

These five professions would be nothing in later generations, but now they are professions that everyone envies.

"Don't move, I'll do it."

Zhu Lin wanted to help, but Jiang Hui would definitely not let her do such rough work.

The wheelbarrow has limited carrying capacity, and after installing a coal stove, there is very little space left.

Most of the briquettes sold in the capital at this time are honeycomb briquettes with a diameter of five inches, a weight of 1250 grams, and 16 meshes.

The price was only 40 cents a piece, which was not expensive, but each piece was quite heavy, so the two of them only bought pieces.

After working for a while, I finally moved my things back to the dormitory.

"Hurry up and wash your hands. We'll clean it up after we finish eating."

State-owned restaurants close on time. If you miss the time, you won’t be able to eat even if you have money.

Zhu Lin obviously didn't want Jiang Hui to go hungry tonight.

After knowing each other for more than two years, she knew that Jiang Hui was more particular about food than many people whenever he had the chance.

We will probably eat out less often starting tomorrow, so Zhu Lin plans to go out for a good meal with Jiang Hui today.

Jiang Hui naturally had no objection to this.

The two of them didn't waste any time and went straight to a state-owned restaurant near the clinic dormitory.

Today is Monday and there are not many people in the restaurant.

Zhu Lin very skillfully ordered a portion of alfalfa meat for 0.43 yuan, a portion of braised spareribs for 0.6 yuan, a portion of winter melon vermicelli fish ball soup for 0.8 yuan, and gluten cabbage for 0.25 yuan.

The staple food is five taels of rice.

If they didn't know that Jiang Hui had a big appetite, the two of them would definitely not be able to eat so much.

"What do you want to eat tomorrow night? I'll prepare it in advance."

While eating, Zhu Lin had already started thinking about what to cook the next day.

Without a refrigerator, it would be impossible to buy fresh meat in advance.

If you go to buy it after get off work, it will definitely be out of your chance.

So you need to think carefully about what to eat when you get home from get off work every day.

Of course, for most people, it is nothing more than vegetarian dishes such as stir-fried cabbage, stir-fried shredded potatoes, stewed potatoes, and roasted eggplant. You buy the supply for several days in advance and don’t need to worry about what dishes to cook every day.

But Zhu Lin and his wife obviously didn't plan to live such a rough life. "Let's see if we can buy some bacon, and make some stir-fried pork with chili peppers, and some Chinese cabbage or shredded potatoes."

Jiang Hui liked spicy food in his previous life, and now is no exception.

In the past two years, Zhu Lin has gradually gotten used to eating spicy food.

After a hard day, having a plate of fried pork with peppers and white rice is definitely a great experience.

"I'll sneak out and take a look tomorrow while I'm at work. I should be able to buy some bacon."

"If not, go to grandpa's house and decorate it next time. They will definitely have it there."

Zhu Lin put a piece of tender pork ribs with bones into Jiang Hui's bowl while talking about his plans.

Although it is an unknown state-owned restaurant, their braised spareribs are very good.

Nowadays, when people buy meat, they prefer white fat. Spare ribs are much less popular and cheaper.

This is very different from later generations.

Jiang Hui thought that he could come here and try it from time to time in the future.

"If you have it, that's the best. If you don't have it, don't run too far."

Although slacking off at work is a very common thing, especially in state-owned enterprises, some aunties actually knit sweaters while working.

However, Jiang Hui didn't want Zhu Lin to run around in such hot weather.

How tiring!

After eating and drinking, the two touched their round bellies and smiled at each other.

After taking a short stroll downstairs of the dormitory building to digest the food and chat, the two went home to pack their things.

The things I bought today have to be sorted out so that Zhu Lin can cook tomorrow.

After all the trouble, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening.

At this time, many people have already gone to bed.

After all, leaving the lights on when you don't sleep will cost you a lot of electricity.

However, Jiang Hui was used to being a night owl and would not go to bed until at least after eleven o'clock.

Of course, now that we are living as a couple, we don’t need to spend time reading.

Playing poker is obviously more fun!

The next day, Jiang Hui rode his bicycle to work feeling refreshed.

Today, you don’t have to have breakfast at the state-owned restaurant on the road. You can go directly to the factory canteen.

After comfortably eating a bowl of tofu pudding and four cabbage buns, Jiang Hui finally appeared in the office.

Other colleagues also arrived one after another.

As a newcomer, Jiang Hui doesn’t have any specific work for the time being, and is mostly focusing on familiarizing himself with the job and learning.

Some people say that new employees have to learn to wipe the tables for their colleagues when they arrive at the office, but Jiang Hui disagrees.

If you want to do something like wiping tables, it's best not to start unless you are willing to do it all the time.

Otherwise, if you stop wiping it after a while, someone will definitely complain.

It would be better to pretend to be stupid from the beginning and not take the opportunity.

Jiang Hui followed the pace of his predecessors, took an enamel cup to pour a glass of water and placed it on the table, and then started his work day.

Yesterday, Jiang Hui specifically asked Chen Chenxing to help him find some past documents and materials from the technical department. He planned to study them carefully and then see how to carry out his work.

For several days in a row, I basically spent my time in this rhythm.

"Xiao Jiang, there is a training session here. You will go and listen to it on behalf of our department next week."

On Friday morning, Jiang Hui had just arrived at the office when Liao Chengwen called him to his office.
