Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

"This car is really heavy. What's in the bag?"

In response to his sister-in-law's question, He Yushui said that he would keep it secret for the time being, and the two of them walked into the yard one after the other.

At this time, there were many people standing in the front yard, waiting to write couplets at the door, including He Daqing.

When he saw his daughter coming back, he hesitated for a moment, then put the peanuts in his hand on the table and walked over here.

"My daughter, today is New Year's Eve. Why are you running here instead of going home?"

"Dad, I'm sending you something! If you don't want it, I'll take it back and return it to the institute."

After He Yushui finished speaking, he parked the car and pointed at the bag on the left.

"Dad, these are your things. Our director said that you are a non-staff member and have contributed to our institute.

So I gave you a year-end benefit. It’s not much, but it’s also a cadre benefit.”

After hearing his daughter say this, He Daqing became even more confused.

What are non-staff personnel? What are year-end benefits? What are cadre benefits? Why can't I understand a word of this?

But since the stuff has been delivered, let’s take a look at it first!

There were quite a few people standing in the front yard at this time, including some neighbors who liked to watch the fun, and everyone gathered around.

He Daqing ignored these people and took off the two bags with great effort. Then he opened the bag that his daughter had pointed to, wanting to see what was inside.

Unexpectedly, when he saw this, he was shocked.

The bags contained a small bag of apples, loose pork, and a bag of something that looked like flour, and each of the items was quite substantial.

"My daughter, why are there so many things? Are you sure these are for me?" He Daqing looked at his daughter who was grinning with a puzzled look on his face.

When the neighbors saw him like this, they all came over and one even used his hands to pull it apart to see it more clearly.

After seeing what was happening clearly, the neighbors also lost their composure.

Apples are a high-end product, and some people have never eaten one in their entire lives.

Meat and flour are both in-demand commodities, and the quantity is so large. Judging by visual estimation, there are at least five kilograms of apples and meat, and at least ten kilograms of flour.

No matter which family you give these things to, they will have a prosperous new year.

However, the neighbors were unwilling to believe that these things were given to He Daqing just like that. They all looked at He Yushui, wanting to hear her explanation.

Facing the puzzled looks of these neighbors, He Yushui seemed very proud.

"Dad, our director said that when I give birth to a child next year, I will still have to rely on you to take charge of our kitchen, so you will get a share of these workers' benefits."

After hearing his daughter's explanation, He Daqing roughly understood what it meant.

In general, it means winning people's hearts and minds. As long as you work hard, we won't treat you unfairly...

But there was one thing he didn't understand: why were there so many things? And what about the treatment of the cadres?

Seeing that her father still didn't understand, He Yushui smiled and shook her head, and could only explain it again.

"Dad, the salary I mentioned just now was just a joke. In fact, the cadres in our institute don't even get as much as us workers!"

"Nonsense! How can such a thing happen?"

Well! Such nonsense, not only He Daqing did not believe it, but also the neighbors nearby did not believe it, so some people raised doubts.

He Yushui felt very unhappy when she saw the expressions of these people and listened to the tone of their voices.

The workers support the cadres in the institute, including He Yushui, and will not tolerate slander from others.

"If you don't believe me, see for yourself."

Having said that, He Yushui opened his bag to prove that he was not talking nonsense. At the same time, it was also a testimonial for the cadres in the institute.

At this time, the neighbors at the scene saw what was in the bag and couldn't help but look at each other.

Indeed, the bag contained much more things, not only two more bottles of oil, but also a big carp.

At this time, the entire front yard was filled with a sour smell. Who wouldn't be jealous after seeing so many things?

Yan Bugui, in particular, was extremely jealous and wanted to rush forward and snatch all the things away.

I spent the whole morning busying myself here, writing couplets to get a few melons and dates, but it was still not as good as He Daqing, who just stood there and got the things.

"It's so unfair!!!" Yan Bugui's heart was bleeding and he was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe.

He Daqing now realized that something was wrong, so he quickly tied up the two bags, put one in for his daughter, and then prepared to send her away.

Unexpectedly, before He Yushui could leave, he ran into Sha Zhu who had just returned home from vacation.

Following behind him were Liu Haizhong and several others, all of whom were workers from the steel rolling mill.

When Sha Zhu saw his sister coming over, he didn't know why she came, so he raised the things in his hand and started to show off.

"Yushui, take a look at what big brother is distributing. The factory is doing well this year. Each person is given two pounds of meat and noodles, and half a pound of oil! How about eating before leaving?"

After hearing what Sha Zhu said, the neighbors at the scene looked at each other and all showed disdain.

I thought, you call this good efficiency? Do you have any misunderstanding about good efficiency? In the end, I am not as good as an extra staff member.

The blind guy Liu Haizhong didn't realize it at all, and as if afraid that others didn't know, he hurriedly shouted to the second aunt in the crowd.

"Mother, take the food back quickly and put more meat in the dumplings tonight."

What could Second Aunt say after hearing Liu Haizhong's extremely boastful tone?

I had no choice but to take these things, and the two of them whispered something...

Soon, Liu Guangtian also returned to the yard with a bag in his hand.

You can tell without even looking that this is a welfare benefit from the machinery factory.

Some workers in the steel rolling mill are still dissatisfied. If they can’t compete with the research institute, can they not compete with the machinery factory?

One of them asked, "Guangtian, what does your factory send you?"

Liu Guangtian is a very honest boy. He doesn't know what the people in the courtyard mean. Of course, he tells the truth.

"Hey! I can't compare to the research institute. I only have one pound of oil, five pounds of pork and flour."

Yes! When comparing the three units, the steel mill is completely defeated.

There really is no harm without comparison.

As a result, all these workers want to work in the research institute, but how is this possible?

After a great competition of strength, He Daqing sent his daughter away, quickly picked up his things, and called Sha Zhu and his wife to go home first.

After returning to the house, He Daqing looked at the things in the bag and had already figured out how to distribute them.

"Zhu Zi, Xiu Xiu, I want to discuss something with you."

"Dad, if you have anything to say, just tell me! What are you discussing?"

Sha Zhu put down the things nonchalantly, and Li Xiuxiu nodded, indicating that what he said was correct.

Seeing this, He Daqing didn't hesitate to express his thoughts directly.

"Zhu Zi, I'm going to divide the contents of this bag into two. You can give one to your master, and the other one to your father-in-law after the Chinese New Year. What do you think?"

"I'm fine." Sha Zhu answered casually.

After all, my master and father-in-law have nothing to say about me, so any gift I give them would not be too much.

But Li Xiuxiu has a different opinion.

"Dad, I have no objection to giving it to the master, but I'd better give less to my dad! I have to leave some for you."

"Hey! Just take them if I tell you to. Why would I need these?"

He Daqing waved his hand, looking very impatient, as if he would get angry if he continued talking.

Seeing this, Li Xiuxiu was not angry, but felt warm inside.
