Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

The day after I killed my enemy happened to be the weekend.

Early in the morning, Ning Dazhuang's family and Sun Zhengguo's family drove to the Martyrs' Cemetery together to pay tribute to Ning Qingyu.

Flowers and fruits have now been placed in front of the neat marble tombstone.

Because it was a special era, Ning Dazhuang lit three more cigarettes, stood upside down in front of the monument, and poured three glasses of wine to toast the heaven, earth and his father.

After doing all this, the rest of the people began to pay their respects formally. By the time it was Wang Guiying's turn, she had already burst into tears.

I saw her kneeling in front of the tomb, muttering intermittently.

"Qingyu, wuwu... You can rest in peace now. Our Dazhuang... has avenged you personally, and the enemy was caught by your son-in-law himself. Wuwuwu... Qingyu! All these years..."

After hearing Wang Guiying's crying, the eyes of several people at the scene turned red.

Even the little boy Sun Shujie was frightened by the atmosphere and started crying.

Seeing his mother too sad, Ning Dazhuang couldn't bear it, so he went forward to hold her and persuade her.

"Mom, please don't be like this. Your health is more important. I believe my dad would not want to see you like this. Look, the children are all scared and crying."

After hearing what her son said, Wang Guiying looked up and saw that the children were indeed crying, so she quickly stood up, wiped away her tears, forced a smile and said.

"Yes, don't cry. Today is a good day. We who are still alive should be happy."

After the worship was completed, everyone prepared to go back. Ning Dazhuang held his youngest nephew Shukang and walked towards his car.

When Sun Zhengguo saw his son being taken away, how could he not understand what was going on.

So he didn't say a word, just drove and followed to Ning's house.

After returning home, Wang Guiying didn't even take care of her children and went straight to her room. No one knew what she was doing.

When Sun Zhengguo saw that his mother-in-law was behaving strangely, he grabbed Ning Xiaowei and asked.

"Wife, Mom is a little bit abnormal today, and you are not worried at all."

"It's okay. My mom has my dad's spirit tablet in her room. She didn't say enough just now, so she's chatting now." Ning Xiaowei knew her mother too well, so she explained.

"Is this also possible?" Sun Zhengguo was somewhat speechless...

This mother-in-law's hobby is really special, and it is similar to Jia Zhang's summoning of spirits.

As soon as Ning Xiaowei saw Sun Zhengguo's expression, she knew that he was not thinking well.

So, she said indignantly: "What do you know? This is a kind of spiritual sustenance, how can it not work?"

"Sure, of course, I didn't say no, wife, don't be angry, since mom is busy and can't leave, I might as well go and help her kill the chicken."

After saying this, without waiting for Ning Xiaowei's reaction, Sun Zhengguo took the initiative to walk towards the chicken coop...

Two days later, on the morning of July 1, Sun Zhengguo, who was at work, suddenly received a call from the department asking him to go over.

After hanging up the phone, he picked up his briefcase without even thinking about it and took a bus to the Machinery Department.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at the ministry, he "accidentally" met Director Zhang of the Personnel Department.

"Director Sun, what a coincidence! I was planning to call you, but I didn't expect you to come."

As soon as the two met, Director Zhang was extremely enthusiastic.

"Director Zhang, from what you said, you must know something. Can you tell me a little bit about it? That way I can have an idea." Sun Zhengguo replied politely.

In fact, he already had a rough idea of ​​the purpose of this trip.

This time, he developed a large machine tool himself, and also participated in the capture of enemy spies, so it is impossible for his superiors not to say anything.

What was Director Zhang's purpose in meeting him by chance? He just wanted to sell himself in advance.

Now that Sun Zhengguo asked, he would definitely not hide it.

"Director Sun, congratulations! I never thought that someone your age could accomplish such a great thing."

Director Zhang complimented him first, then lowered his voice and said, "The superiors have decided to upgrade your Mechanical Research Institute to a department-level unit."

"What?" Even though Sun Zhengguo was prepared, the news still caught him off guard.

"Director Zhang, are you sure this isn't a bit...?"

"What? Unbelievable, isn't it?" Director Zhang smiled. "Director Sun, you have to believe in yourself. If it weren't for the age limit, when the institute was first established, it should have been a department-level unit."

"Thank you, Director Zhang. Your reminder is just the right time for me to be mentally prepared."

After listening to Sun Zhengguo's words, Director Zhang was very satisfied, feeling that it was worth his long wait.

"By the way, Director Sun, please go to the Organization Department first. Minister Hong may want to talk to you." Director Zhang reminded again.

"Okay, thank you Director Zhang."

Sun Zhengguo also knew that once he became a department-level cadre, he would enter the ranks of senior cadres.

Every time there is a promotion or transfer, the higher authorities will have a talk with the person. It is no longer the makeshift team as before.

The two chatted for a few words, and then Sun Zhengguo went to the third floor. This time he did not go to see Minister Li first, but went to the Organization Department.

Sun Zhengguo had only met Minister Hong of the Organization Department a few times and had never dealt with him, so he was a little unsure about this formal conversation, after all, he had never experienced this before.

"Hello, Minister Hong."

As soon as he entered the office, although Sun Zhengguo was a little restrained, he still greeted very politely.

"It's Comrade Zhengguo, please sit down quickly."

Although Minister Hong is a standing committee member of the ministry and holds a high position of power, he also knows that the young man in front of him is no ordinary person. Not only does he have the support of Minister Li, but he also has the support of the General Secretary.

So, he didn't put on airs and behaved very politely.

“Thank you, Minister Hong.”

After Sun Zhengguo sat down, Minister Hong's secretary brought him another cup of tea, and then Minister Hong got to the point.

"Comrade Zhengguo, the superiors have decided to upgrade the administrative level of your Mechanical Research Institute from department level to bureau level. Therefore, on behalf of the organization, I will have a formal conversation with you today..."

Sun Zhengguo felt helpless after hearing Minister Hong talking on and on.

But this is the only way. Even if you don't want to listen, you have to pretend to be listening attentively, and then nod frequently to show that what he said is right, and express your determination when necessary.

Next, Minister Hong talked about the Party Constitution and Party spirit from the perspective of work responsibilities and expectations, and then talked about problems and challenges...

It was not until the end that Minister Hong took out the appointment letter and read out the appointment.

Of course, although the Mechanical Research Institute became a department-level unit, it was impossible for Sun Zhengguo to be promoted to a department-level cadre all at once.

This time, he was only promoted to deputy department level and then served as acting director. It is estimated that he will be able to remove the acting title when he is promoted to full department level.

However, to Sun Zhengguo's surprise, not only was his administrative level promoted this time, but he also served as deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the Mechanical Research Institute.

Sun Zhengguo was a little caught off guard by such an arrangement.

Deputy Party Secretary? That means the institute will also have a standing committee in the future.

"Oh! It gives me a headache just thinking about it."

Sun Zhengguo couldn't help but complain in his heart.
