Siheyuan: Becoming a cadre after graduating from technical secondary school

Lin Jingping's birth has brought many impacts to the Lin family.

First of all, Lin's father and mother seemed to have put down the huge stone that was pressing on their hearts, especially Lin's mother. She looked more than ten years younger. She happily held her eldest grandson in her arms every day and gave out wedding candies as if they were free.

Secondly, Lin Zongxuan took a week off for the first time to spend time with his wife and children. Although he was still the smart and capable Director Lin on the surface after work, he would often smile foolishly from time to time when no one was around, and even his behavior style became more generous.

Furthermore, many factory leaders who previously treated Lin Zongxuan as a young man have become much more moderate in their attitude towards him. They are no longer bossy and condescending as before, but truly treat him as a cadre of the same level.

They began to respect Lin Zongxuan's opinions and ideas, and were willing to listen to his suggestions and views. This change made Lin Zongxuan feel very gratified and proud.

When Tiger Baby was 120 days old, Lin Zongxuan borrowed a Dongfeng SLR camera from the factory's publicity department and took a set of black-and-white -day photos of the child.

The tiger boy in the photo has fair skin, bright eyes, and a slightly open mouth, as if he is smiling.

Then Lin Zongxuan's family took many photos of the child in their arms. These photos recorded the important moments of Tiger Boy's growth and became precious memories for the family.

After developing them, I sent a few of them to teachers and classmates in Shen City.

,,,,,,

Lin Zongxuan can be said to be in both pain and happiness recently.

On the one hand, the child is still too young and needs all-round care and attention. Although Lin's mother, an experienced grandmother, is helping to take care of the child, Lin Zongxuan, as a new father, also wants to participate more in the child's growth.

He longs to experience every moment personally, watch his children grow up little by little, and share the joy and emotion.

However, the reality made him feel overwhelmed. Due to his busy work and lack of parenting experience, he often felt that he did not have enough time.

On the other hand, as Wang Xiaomeng gradually came out of the confinement period, the matter of moving was gradually put on the agenda for the two.

That's right, Lin Zongxuan is finally going to move out of the Hongxing Courtyard. In the past two years, several large state-owned enterprises nearby have built a new courtyard with tube-shaped buildings. As a role model among the young cadres of the steel rolling mill and a newly married person, Lin Zongxuan was naturally allocated one of them.

Of course, in order to promote his style, he now lives on the fifth floor.

Although the floor was not very good, the room was still very spacious. The whole room was about 70 square meters (there was no public area in that era), with a small living room, two bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom.

In short, at the end of 1970, Lin Zongxuan finally moved into the first house he had worked so hard for.

,,,,,,

In 1976, (I won’t write it out, older friends will definitely remember it, younger friends can look it up, condolences), taking advantage of a political storm that swept through Beijing, the 34-year-old Lin Zongxuan was transferred from the steel rolling mill to a machine repair factory in Yi Province as the director. He went with him, along with Lin Keke, who had just returned from the countryside as an educated youth. Wang Xiaomeng stayed in Beijing to take care of their second daughter who was less than three years old.

In June 1978, Lin Zongxuan returned to Beijing to attend a meeting of the Ministry of Metallurgy on the reform of local factories. After the meeting, he asked the driver to take Lin Keke home first, and he went to a private room of a state-owned restaurant near the steel rolling mill and met a "mysterious man".

The mysterious man was wearing a set of old cadre uniform with four pockets. He was still tall, and his spine, which had been bent down, was now straightened again. However, the old look on his face and the vicissitudes in his eyes proved how difficult his life had been over the years.

After the two met, the mysterious man came up and started to joke: "Director Xiaolin, you are the father of two children now, how come you don't look old? You look like you are less than 30 years old."

Lin Zongxuan could only smile bitterly at this.

He is already 36 years old this year. After working in a full-time position for several years, he has acquired some authority as a legitimate "senior official". Those who dare to add the word "young" in front of his name are either his elders or his leaders.

The mysterious man, on the other hand, possesses both.

"Director Yang, you called me here this time, aren't you just trying to tease me?"

The mysterious man, the newly reinstated Director Yang, smiled and said, "Look at you, we haven't seen each other for a few years. Let's eat first. Let's eat first. I'll treat you today."

Just like that, neither of them brought a secretary or a driver. They were like two old friends, chatting and eating and drinking for more than two hours.

The restaurant owner and waiters had been informed in advance and were not disturbed.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the atmosphere was getting better and better. Director Yang felt that the time was right, so he slowly opened his mouth and said his real purpose: "Xiao Lin, you have been training outside for a long time. A small machine repair shop with less than a thousand people is not enough for you to show your skills. Why don't you find a way to transfer back to our steel rolling mill!"

As Director Yang spoke, he filled Lin Zongxuan's glass with wine, then poured himself a glass and continued, "You will take over Li Huaide's former position. If we work together sincerely for a few more years, we will definitely be able to bring the Third Steel Rolling Mill to a whole new level. When I retire, I will nominate you as the new director, so that I can retire with peace of mind."

After hearing what Director Yang said, Lin Zongxuan's eyes, which were originally a little drunk, suddenly became clear.

He thought about it carefully for a while, not thinking about the pros and cons of this matter, but thinking about how to refuse.

In the end, he just shook his head and said with a hint of apology: "Director Yang, my career started from the steel mill, but now I am used to the days away from the steel mill, and I have other plans in mind. Besides, the situation has not yet completely stabilized, so forget it."

"Why?"

Director Yang asked anxiously, "Xiao Lin, you are not worried that I have a grudge against you because of your experience under Li Huaide in the past few years, right? That is not the case at all!

In fact, I have no intention of pursuing these matters. Given the situation back then, it was already very difficult for you not to take advantage of my misfortune. In addition, you have been secretly taking care of my family all these years, and I am grateful to you..."

"Director Yang, Director Yang, calm down, I didn't mean that."

Lin Zongxuan looked at Director Yang who suddenly became agitated and sighed secretly, thinking that the misfortunes of these years had indeed had a great impact on this once steady and peaceful man, making him anxious and restless.

This is indeed one of the reasons why he is unwilling to come back now.

It was not until Director Yang calmed down that Lin Zongxuan lowered his voice and continued, "Director Yang, if I want to come back, it will be at least two or three years later, and I may not work in a state-owned enterprise. Do you understand?"

"You are planning to join the ministry directly!"

Director Yang suddenly realized what was going on, then he put on a smiling face, raised his glass and said, "Since you have a better arrangement, I won't think too much about it. After all, the future belongs to you young people. I wish you a bright future."

Lin Zongxuan smiled and raised his glass with the old man who brought him into his professional career.

(I won’t write too much at the end of the volume. This volume is originally a transitional volume. I dare not write more content. I will just briefly touch upon it and let my friends have a fresh look. After all, when I read Siheyuan, most of the books only briefly mentioned this period.

The next volume will be the final one.)
