Siheyuan: Becoming a cadre after graduating from technical secondary school

1965, December 11.

In a spacious office in the Purchasing Department of the Third Steel Rolling Mill, a 23-year-old young man was checking documents at his desk.

dong dong——

The young man said, "Come in." without even raising his head.

With the sound of the door opening, a tall figure in a gray security uniform poked his head in with a strange smile on his face: "Chief Lin, I'm coming in?"

"Chief Xu, what are you doing again?"

Lin Zongxuan pinched his brows helplessly and glanced at Xu Hongcan: "Brother Hongcan, come in, do you want me to serve you tea?"

"Hey, I can do it myself."

After saying that, Xu Hongcan very consciously walked to the place where Lin Zongxuan put the tea leaves, then skillfully found two enamel water cups, casually pinched two large pieces of tea and put them in, and then poured hot water.

Lin Zongxuan kept shaking his head as he looked at them. It wasn't that he felt sorry for the 'Jin Jun Mei'. After all, as someone like him who had the space of a supermarket, he could have as much tea as he wanted.

But if you make tea like this, with half a jar of water and half a jar of tea leaves, it will be so bitter.

On the other side, Xu Hongcan drank the hot water happily despite the fact that it was scalding his mouth.

"A cow chewing a peony." Anyway, the two of them have become familiar with each other since the "spy accident" two years ago, so Lin Zongxuan directly said what he was thinking.

Xu Hongcan smiled indifferently and said, "I am a rough man who likes to drink strong tea. I am not like you. You play basketball more fiercely than anyone else, but you pretend to be a cultured person."

What Xu Hongcan was talking about was the basketball game held by the steel rolling mill a few months ago in response to the slogan of "National Fitness, Strengthening Physical Fitness". In the game, Lin Zongxuan led the team of the Purchasing Department and won the second place.

Oh, first is the field office team, Director Yang and Secretary Wen are both here.

It was this hard-earned second place (the Purchasing Department's team were all young people in their twenties and thirties, and it was indeed not easy to deliberately lose to the factory-run team with an average age of over 45 and keep the score close) that gave Lin Zongxuan the opportunity to become the youngest deputy section chief in the history of the steel rolling mill.

Of course, the security department where Xu Hongcan was located, relying on its physical advantage, also achieved a good result of third place among more than a dozen teams, but the leader Xu Hongcan was always brooding over losing to Lin Zongxuan.

"How come you have so many weird moves and can throw so accurately?"

Lin Zongxuan could only pretend to be cool: "Nothing special, just my practice."

He can't say, I played Cuba in my previous life.

After a while, after drinking tea and chatting, Lin Zongxuan looked at Xu Hongcan who was still lingering, chuckled and said, "I thought you were just bored and came to my place to drink some tea. Tell me, what do you want this time?"

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you."

Xu Hongcan chuckled: "Our second child is coming out soon, can you prepare something good for my wife?"

Lin Zongxuan thought for a moment, wrote down a list on a piece of paper, and handed it to Xu Hongcan: "Take a look, is there anything you want to add or remove?"

Xu Hongcan took the list and was shocked to see that it said:

Pork, crucian carp, eggs, milk, day lily, carrots, longan, red dates... and other ingredients, some fruits, and finally two cans of malted milk and two cans of fish oil powder.

Xu Hongcan looked at Lin Zongxuan at this moment, as if he was looking at a god: "Wow, you can even get this?"

"Just tell me whether you want it or not." Lin Zongxuan thought, I haven't dared to give you the really valuable things, such as ginseng.

Xu Hongcan thought about it and asked tentatively: "That's all. If you don't go, when can you give it to me, and how much will it cost?"

Lin Zongxuan replied: "Give me 60 yuan in total, and some fine grains to last your wife for two months. But I have to give it to you in batches, otherwise it will go bad easily."

Xu Hongcan thought of his wife who had lost her appetite recently, and said after taking a bite, "Okay, 60 is 60."

He and Lin Zongxuan are both level 19 administrative cadres now, with a monthly salary of 78 yuan, which they can afford for a few months if they grit their teeth.

After the two of them discussed it, Xu Hongcan took out two fancy meal coupons and said with a smile, "Chief Lin, please do me a favor and let's go to the Minzu Hotel tonight?"

"Let's go, let's go."

,,,,,,

Around seven o'clock in the evening, Lin Zongxuan, who had eaten and drunk his fill, said goodbye to Xu Hongcan who had sent him back. As he rode his bike into the yard, he heard a burst of beating and scolding.

Needless to say, it sounded like the old man in the backyard was performing the traditional skill of "teaching his son with a stick".

Speaking of the second uncle Liu Haizhong, he has indeed not had a smooth life in the past two years.

First, because his apprentice was involved in a "spy case", he was demoted from a seventh-level fitter to a fourth-level fitter, and he hasn't been promoted yet.

Later, they worked hard to support their eldest son Liu Guangqi to marry a daughter-in-law who came from a family of minor cadres. However, before he could show off for a few more days, Liu Guangqi took his wife to support the Northwest and fled from the old city.

But all this is not a reason for you, Liu Haizhong, to vent your anger on your two remaining sons! Yi Zhonghai must have felt so distressed when he saw this.

Lin Zongxuan shook his head lightly. Every evildoer will be punished by his own evil. He couldn't control the "kind father and filial son" in other people's families, nor did he want to control it.

The drama is about to reach the beginning of the story. Under the influence of Comrade Kobayashi, the little butterfly, Red Star Courtyard has quietly undergone some changes that are different from the original drama.
