Siheyuan: I, the eldest son of the Liu family, will enter the department!

Liu Guangqi walked further and further away.

I could only vaguely hear Jia Zhang's embarrassed smile: "They say these college students are different."

"I just came back and I bought meat buns and live fish. How much money does that cost? Unlike our Dongxu, who would like to split the money he earns into eight petals..."

……

……

Second Auntie had already heard the noise and was waiting at the door with the curtain lifted. When she saw him come in, she quickly took the things in his hand:

"Guangqi, why did you buy so many things?"

Talking time!

Second Aunt's eyes were still roaming between the lively crucian carp and the greasy bun wrapper.

She rubbed her hands on her apron and muttered habitually:

"You kid!"

"I just graduated and haven't made any money yet, why would I buy these? Ten meat buns are only 80 cents, which is enough to buy two kilograms of corn flour..."

She said as she walked towards the kitchen.

Even though she was muttering, her hands were not slow at all. She quickly placed the basin containing the fish in the center of the chopping board.

He then carried the buns into the inner room and hid them on the top shelf of the cupboard.

Obviously he was afraid of being seen by the children in the yard.

Liu Guangqi smiled and said, "Mom, I bought these with the money I saved from my university subsidy."

Having lived two lives, he naturally knew that all parents were like this, and this was just him. If it were his two younger brothers, they would be spared from punishment by not getting a beating.

After entering the house, put down the cloth bag in your hand:

"Oh, right! I also got some fabric from my dad for you. You can use it to make two nice suits tomorrow."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Haizhong stood up from the edge of the kang.

In his hand, he was holding an enamel pot, and two drops of tea sloshed out onto his trouser legs. "What good things did you buy? Your mother is nagging you from two doors down."

The voice is loud and clear in the bangs.

But he glanced into the cloth bag and said, "This material feels quite thick. Is it work cloth?"

But soon, his attention was focused on the Hero pen.

"This looks pretty good. How much did you pay for it?"

"I found it secondhand at the Trust Store. Five dollars."

Liu Guangqi had just finished speaking when Second Aunt came in with a bowl of boiled water and continued:

"Five dollars is cheap?"

"Your third uncle bought a pencil for Yan Jiefang. It cost two cents and lasted three months."

"What do you know?" Liu Haizhong put down the enamel pot, sat down at the table on the kang, and acted like the boss: "Guangqi is going to work, so he needs a good pen to write materials and take notes."

"Besides, this was bought with the money the child saved up himself. It's to honor his parents and help support the family. What's wrong with that?"

He paused and deliberately raised his voice:

"If Guangqi becomes a cadre in the future, he won't be able to carry around a broken pen that leaks ink when meeting with leaders and reading documents, right? This is a job requirement!"

……

Second Aunt was so angry that she lost her temper!

He smiled and muttered, "You're the only one who understands the policy," then turned and went to the kitchen to clean the fish.

At this time.

Liu Haizhong also became interested.

He walked up to Liu Guangqi and pointed at the watch on his wrist: "Did you buy this watch from the Trust Store? It looks quite new."

"Yes, a Titoni watch made in Switzerland, one hundred dollars."

"One hundred dollars?!"

Liu Haizhong's eyes almost popped out of his head and he reached out to touch it, but then he remembered that his hands were sweaty and quickly retracted his hand.

"You kid, you are really..."

"But then again, being a cadre requires a watch. You can't miss meetings or work."

He coughed twice and acted as if he understood the bigger picture:

“This money is definitely worth spending!”

As he was speaking, the postman's voice came from the courtyard gate: "Liu Guangqi—there's a letter for you!"

.......

Chapter 9 The First Ministry of Machine Building!

letter?

Liu Guangqi felt something in his heart and was about to stand up.

Dad Liu Haizhong had already run out, and a few seconds later rushed into the house holding a manila envelope: "Guangqi! It's from school!"

"Hurry! Open it! I see the postmark is from school, it must be a job assignment!"

Liu Guangqi had just torn a corner of the envelope.

Liu Haizhong stretched his neck and got there first. Although he didn't know many words, he stared at the letter as if he was recognizing his own relatives.

When the seven words "First Ministry of Machine Building Industry" caught my eye!

He suddenly shouted, "Ministry of Industry! It really is the Ministry of Industry! My son is going to join the ministry as a government official!"

That voice—

I wish I could shake the beams down from the roof.

Second Auntie rushed out of the kitchen holding a cooking spatula, her apron still stained with greasy particles:

"What? What part?"

"Mom, it's a letter of introduction from the First Ministry of Machine Building Industry!"

Liu Guangqi explained with a smile.

His eyes fell on the school emblem of Mizuki University printed in the upper right corner and the red seal of "School Office" in the lower right corner.

There are a few neat lines of small characters written on it with a brush:

"Student Liu Guangqi!"

"I hereby inform you that you must report to the Personnel Department of the First Ministry of Machine Building Industry at 9:00 AM on June 25th. Bring your letter of introduction and personal file..."

Liu Guangqi didn't have time to look at his parents' excitement. His eyes fell on the letter of introduction that smelled of ink.

This is no ordinary job!

But it was the First Ministry of Machine Building in 1958.

To know!

The Ministry of First Machine Building in this era was in charge of the lifeline of countless heavy industries.

How many people were desperate to get even a little bit of it, but what about Liu Guangqi? He jumped straight into the Ministry of First Machine Building right after graduation?!

"He really got assigned to the ministry! I told you my son has a lot of potential!"

Second Aunt murmured.

Liu Guangqi didn't say anything, but continued to look at the envelope, which contained another letter of introduction.

have to say.

This was the first time he had seen a letter of introduction from this era in both his past and present lives.

……

……

Job introduction letter——

Best regards!

……

Liu Guangqi looked at the date on the letter. He only had three days to prepare. He folded the letter and put it in his pocket. Just as he was about to speak...

Then I heard the voice of the third uncle coming from outside the yard:

"His second uncle..."

"I heard there was a letter from your family? Did Guangqi's job assignment get finalized?"

Then, Jia Zhang's loud voice came from the middle courtyard:

"He must not have been assigned a good job, otherwise he would have been complaining a long time ago! My Dongxu just said that the factory leaders praised him as a good candidate!"

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he immediately wanted to go out and argue.

Liu Guangqi smiled and pulled him back:

"Dad, there's no need. Once I report to the First Ministry of Machine Building, they'll know for sure."
