The winner of life in the courtyard

Chapter 211 Expectation
It's more comfortable to have something practical than a meal.

Of course, this kind of practical gratitude is all within the rules.

After all, everyone wants to make progress now, so we can't do anything that is against the rules.

Shen Zhiping and Qiao Hongxing returned to the steel rolling mill from the meat processing plant with empty hands, because Director Xiong's thanks were waiting behind them and would be sent along with the pork for the steel rolling mill.

"Brother, this time, I owe you another favor!"

"If you need my help in the future, just let me know!"

Qiao Hongxing didn't say anything fancy to Shen Zhiping, he just made a promise.

Shen Zhiping just smiled and waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing.

There are many people in the factory who owe favors to others, and Shen Zhiping can't use these favors for the time being.

But, when it comes to favors, you really have to have them when you need them.

When I returned to the technical department, a group of people in the technical department looked over, all of them with eager eyes.

Shen Zhiping noticed the looks in everyone's eyes, grinned and said, "Don't look at me, the problem has been solved, the meat from the meat processing plant will be delivered soon!"

When they heard Shen Zhiping say this, a group of people cheered.

Although we have to buy New Year's goods at the end of the year, the number of meat coupons is limited. Unless you spend money to buy meat coupons on the black market, it is really not easy for your family to have a prosperous New Year.

Therefore, everyone in this factory is looking forward to the New Year’s goods at the end of the year.

Even though the salaries of people in the technical department are not low, many people are unwilling to spend money to exchange various tickets on the black market.

Because once caught, damage to reputation is the least of the problems. But if you lose your job and are sent to a farm for reform, it will be a complete disaster for the whole family.

In the time-travel novels that Shen Zhiping had read, the protagonists all thrived in the black market. It was just nonsense.

What's worse, some people even make a fortune by shipping large quantities of goods on the black market, thinking they are the protagonists!
Shen Zhiping has been here for such a long time, but he has never been to the black market.

Of course, there is no need for Shen Zhiping to go to the black market!
He has everything he needs, why would he go to the black market?

Do you think your life is too good and want to find some excitement?

After everyone in the technical department cheered, they quieted down and gathered together to discuss what they were going to do during the New Year holiday.

Shen Zhiping also started chatting with the person next to him.

The technical department had been busy for half a year before and had just finished the work at hand. Now was the time to relax. In addition, the Chinese New Year was coming soon, so even Director Yang would not come to the technical department to cause trouble for such a small matter.

Therefore, the overall atmosphere of the technical department is quite relaxed and comfortable.

Unfortunately, Shen Zhiping didn’t have much time to relax before someone came looking for him.

It was the end of the year and most of the factory's production tasks had been completed. Many old craftsmen had become idle, so they naturally came to the factory and said they wanted to hold the previous technical seminar again.

Director Yang naturally agreed with this.

The higher the skills of the technical workers in the factory, the higher the possibility of completing the task!
The core of the technical seminar was Shen Zhiping.

Shen Zhiping's guidance, and the ability to identify and solve problems in a targeted manner, are what these old masters care about most.

At this time, many skilled workers were trained by masters from generation to generation. It is important to have a master to lead you, but it is up to you to practice.

Many people make progress through their own exploration.

Lack of complete and systematic teaching!

"Perhaps, we can come up with a systematic teaching and assessment plan!"

This idea suddenly came to Shen Zhiping's mind, but as soon as the idea came up, Shen Zhiping denied it himself.

It's almost 1989, and the storm is not far away. At this time, keeping a low profile is the right thing to do.

Before, he had already started a business and successfully earned himself a monthly salary of 200 yuan. Even if the salary standard dropped after the storm, he could ensure that his income would not be too low and his family could live well.

As for other things, in the face of the general trend, it is better to stay calm!
At this time, the more you do, the more mistakes you make!
Shen Zhiping no longer thought about unnecessary things, but just honestly acted as a tool.

The master craftsmen all received guidance from Shen Zhiping, and the workshop directors were very happy to meet Shen Zhiping.

After seeing all this, Director Yang was even more delighted.

Deputy Director Li felt a little unhappy when he saw Director Yang was happy. However, he also understood that he couldn't fall behind at this time. After all, the stronger the steel mill was, the easier it would be for him to do things after he took over.

Li Huaide really knows how to handle interpersonal relationships.

He is in charge of logistics and cannot participate in the production of the steel mill, but this does not prevent him from getting involved.

Following Deputy Director Li's words, if the backbones of the technical seminar took too long to discuss, the cafeteria would provide a better dinner.

Of course, Deputy Director Li set all of this within the scope of the rules, so people would not think that he was buying people's hearts.

But in fact, Deputy Director Li won people's hearts through this method.

As for Shen Zhiping, who went to pick up his wife and daughter on time every day, Li Huaide did not forget and specially prepared some milk powder tickets for Shen Zhiping.

In this regard, Shen Zhiping naturally refused disrespectfully.

Shen Zhiping, who knew that Li Huaide would be promoted later, had a good relationship with Deputy Director Li.

Of course, Li Huaide also thinks highly of Shen Zhiping.

First, Shen Zhiping's abilities are here.

Secondly, Shen Zhiping's father-in-law is a big shot in the army, and his connections are not much worse than those of Li Huaide.

Therefore, after Shen Zhiping showed his intention to get along well with Li Huaide, Li Huaide would definitely not be hard on Shen Zhiping.

After all, Shen Zhiping had never had any conflict with Li Huaide.

Whenever Li Huaide's connections needed help, as long as Li Huaide found Shen Zhiping, Shen Zhiping would agree readily.

Correspondingly, Shen Zhiping would occasionally look for Li Huaide to build relationships and get some benefits.

Yan Jiecheng's job was also done through Li Huaide's connections.

Because of these comings and goings, in Li Huaide's opinion, Shen Zhiping and he are together.

As for what Shen Zhiping did to help Director Yang?
Director Yang represents the steel rolling mill. As a member of the steel rolling mill, Shen Zhiping has no reason to refuse the work arranged by the director.

The factory’s technical seminar lasted until the last day of the holiday before the New Year, which was also the day when the factory distributed New Year’s goods and benefits.

The logistics department started to get busy early in the morning.

After being greeted, the workers in each workshop hurried to the New Year's goods distribution point.

New Year’s goods are not distributed egalitarianally, but are distributed according to the workers’ levels of work.

It’s impossible for an eighth-level worker to receive the same New Year’s goods as an apprentice or a first-level worker. If that’s the case, what skills are they learning?
Shen Zhiping received a lot more New Year's goods than he normally deserved.

Part of the extra money was extra thanks from Director Xiong of the Meat Processing Plant, and part of it was a special gift from Deputy Director Li to Shen Zhiping.

As for Director Yang, he did not make any comment, but gave Shen Zhiping an honorary title of "Excellent", a certificate of honor, and a large porcelain jar as a souvenir.

Of course, there is also a lot of praise and encouragement!
Shen Zhiping, who had been deceived many times in his previous life, has become immune to this kind of deception.

Besides, the wind is about to blow, and no matter what kind of pie it is, it will eventually be empty. After distributing the New Year's goods, the factory held a simple general meeting and officially went on holiday.

Shen Zhiping saw that it was still early, so he sent the New Year's goods back to the courtyard first.

He has a lot of New Year's goods, but they are all packed in boxes, so others have no way of estimating how many there are.

When he entered the courtyard, he met Yan Bugui again. When old Comrade Yan saw the New Year's goods tied to the back of Shen Zhiping's bicycle, he couldn't help but praise him.

Shen Zhiping just smiled and didn't say much.

Yan Jiecheng also distributed New Year's goods. Although the amount of goods for the apprentices was relatively small, there was still fish and meat.

It’s a pity that Yan Jiecheng will definitely not take the New Year’s goods back to the Yan family in the courtyard.

As for whether Yan Jiecheng would send a holiday gift here before the New Year, Shen Zhiping really couldn't judge.

However, if Yan Jiecheng does not send New Year gifts to Yan Bugui, then Shen Zhiping will completely cut off contact with Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Bugui has done nothing wrong to his son Yan Jiecheng, but Yan Jiecheng doesn't even show this little bit of filial piety. So, such a person is not worth associating with at all.

If you help someone who has no gratitude, he will not be grateful. But if you don't help him, you will become his enemy.

After arranging the New Year's goods distributed by the factory, Shen Zhiping went out again to pick up Liu Wanqing and his daughter.

The Grain Bureau is also closed today.

When Shen Zhiping arrived, Liu Wanqing and others were also queuing up to receive New Year's goods.

Shen Zhiping was directly drafted into the army by Liu Wanqing and was the one who stood in line, while Liu Wanqing played with her daughter nearby.

Zhou Ning, who once felt that Liu Wanqing had married the wrong person, now regrets it more and more. She has never seen any other girl marry as well as Liu Wanqing!

Several sisters in their compound have married into wealthy families, but their men don't care about them at all. Not to mention picking them up to and from get off work every day, they don't even pick them up occasionally.

Let’s look at Liu Wanqing again. The man she married is not only extremely capable and has a high salary, but he also treats her like a baby on a daily basis.

It doesn’t take long for other sisters’ skin to lose color after they get married, but for Liu Wanqing, her skin becomes more and more moist and tender.

It is said that women will become ugly after getting married, but in Liu Wanqing's case, even her former best friend would be envious.

After Shen Zhiping received Liu Wanqing's New Year's goods and the family of three left, Zhou Ning slowly stepped forward to receive his own New Year's goods.

The New Year goods that she cared about so much in the past now have no appeal at all.

Women, no matter how capable you are, it is better to marry a good man!
Zhou Ning was filled with emotion!

But she knew very well in her heart that even if she met a man like Shen Zhiping, she would not be able to control him.

First of all, she looked down on Shen Zhiping at that time. She always felt that Shen Zhiping married Liu Wanqing to climb up the social ladder because of Liu Wanqing's family background.

Shen Zhiping and Liu Wanqing didn't know about Zhou Ning's sigh.

The two men rode their bikes back to the courtyard quickly and began to think about what to eat in the evening.

"Or, let's go eat outside!"

Shen Zhiping smiled slightly, "Celebrate the holiday. We have been busy for a year, and we should relax for a while. What do you think?"

"I think it works!"

Liu Wanqing is a traditional housewife, otherwise she would not have spoken like that when interacting with Shen Zhiping, let alone made such a request.

As for my daughter Shen Chenyue, she currently has no human rights.

The little girl doesn't speak very fluently, after all, her vocabulary is limited.

However, the little girl now has a lot of experience in food. With parents like Shen Zhiping and Liu Wanqing, she started off at a high level in terms of food.

Coupled with the favoritism of the little girl's grandmother, the little girl's life was very comfortable.

The family of three went out again.

But this time, the three of them only rode one bike.

Shen Zhiping also installed the bicycle light. He would still need to use the bicycle light when he came back at night.

Liu Wanqing went even further and even brought a pistol with her.

In her words, this is called prevention.

Although the social security is not bad at the moment, there are always some thefts and robberies happening at the end of the year.

Shen Zhiping looked at his wife and suddenly felt that he shouldn't go out to eat today.

But everything was ready, so he couldn't back down.

……

Fortunately, nothing happened.

The family of three went straight to Donglaishun and had a meal of steaming mutton hotpot.

After dinner, Shen Zhiping took Liu Wanqing and his daughter back to the courtyard. When they returned to the courtyard, it was still early and there were still many people on the street.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and it’s the first day of the holiday. There are so many people on the streets, many of them carrying large and small bags, probably going to buy New Year’s goods.

Passing by a supply and marketing cooperative, there was a long queue outside.

At this time, the supply and marketing cooperatives are really busy.

After all, the New Year is coming. We are busy at work on weekdays and don’t have much time to go out shopping. Now that it’s a holiday, we must buy everything we need for the New Year.

In some places, due to the shortage of supplies, many people lined up at the door of the supply and marketing cooperatives overnight, hoping that they could buy what they needed as soon as possible when the cooperatives opened the next day, so as not to be out of stock at the last minute.

That is to say, in this era, if it happened in the future, when certain materials were in short supply and in short supply, the prices would definitely rise to the sky.

Shen Zhiping remembered something like "You are so cruel to me, I am so playful to you..."

The family of three returned to the courtyard and saw Yan Bugui standing at the door, wiping his obviously old bicycle.

"Teacher Yan is busy!"

"Oh, Engineer Shen, Comrade Liu, where have you been?"

"Isn't it the holiday? I went out for a walk. It's New Year's Day and it's very lively everywhere!"

"Yes, yes, lively!"

Yan Bugui's expression was a little unnatural.

He is waiting for his eldest son Yan Jiecheng!

Unfortunately, Yan Jiecheng didn't come at this time, and he probably won't come.

As for the New Year's goods that Yan Jiecheng received from the steel rolling mill, they were either kept for the young couple to eat, or they might have been given to his father-in-law as a filial gift.

If he ate it alone, Yan Bugui might be able to convince himself.

But if he honored his father-in-law, Yan Bugui would probably really break up with his good son Yan Jiecheng!
