Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

The money in the envelope was indeed Chen Changan’s own salary.

With a monthly salary of more than two hundred yuan, Chen Changan and his three younger sisters simply could not spend it all.

Not only that, Chen Changan had not used up all the money he earned from selling fish at the steel mill.

Although Chen Changan did not calculate carefully, he definitely had several thousand dollars.

Chen Changan now eats in the cafeteria every day in this era where you need receipts to buy everything.

Money is not that important. No matter how many thousands of dollars you have, even if you have tens of thousands of dollars, you will still go hungry.

Chen Changan was not short of money, and he would never go hungry again.

At this time, you need to do something to protect yourself.

Chen Changan is not a fool. He spent so much money and got no return at all?

How is that possible? Doing good deeds and hiding one's identity? This is not Chen Changan's style.

The next morning, Chen Changan received news that Uncle Nie was inspecting the construction site of the automobile factory community project.

Chen Changan, along with several factory leaders including Hou Mingjun, Hou Yan, and Li Chenglin, hurried to the construction site.

Surrounded by the crowd, Grandpa Nie first looked at the leveling of the land and then checked the marking.

Especially the line marking situation. It was because of this line marking that Chen Changan expressed his dissatisfaction with the construction team.

This time, Uncle Nie also came over for a temporary inspection. After all, there should be no conflicts between the automobile factory and the construction team. As a mediator, he came here not only to inspect.

At the same time, we will also take a look at the rectification work on the construction site demarcation and whether Chen Changan has forgiven the construction team.

After a round of inspection, Uncle Nie expressed his satisfaction, not only because the construction team took the initiative to admit their mistake and changed back to the previous design plan.

Or it was because Chen Changan had no grudge against the leader of the construction team at all.

Uncle Nie was also very relieved as they were just marking lines on the construction site and there was basically nothing to see.

Feeling better, Uncle Nie prepared to have a meal with everyone at the construction site.

This not only gives face to the old subordinates and Chen Changan, but also reflects his approachable attitude. Why not do it?

And when Uncle Nie asked to have a meal with the construction workers on the construction site.

The construction team leader and Chen Changan showed completely different expressions.

The leader of the construction team showed a look of surprise.

He had clearly agreed with Chen Changan yesterday that the construction team would go to the automobile factory canteen for meals starting today.

So at this moment, no meal was prepared. And Uncle Nie was also coming to inspect the construction site suddenly.

As for the issue of eating, Chen Changan did not take his watch yesterday.

He also said that he would explain the situation to the higher authorities.

Shouldn’t Chen Changan’s superior be Uncle Nie?

He didn't understand what Uncle Nie meant by suggesting eating at the construction site at this time.

Did Chen Changan report this matter to Uncle Nie?

After reporting this, Uncle Nie still said this, which definitely meant that he was dissatisfied with the construction team wanting to eat in the canteen of the automobile factory.

If it was because Chen Changan was delayed due to something and did not report it to Uncle Nie, then it would be fine.

So he immediately looked at Chen Changan, hoping that Chen Changan could give him some hints.

At this time, Chen Changan showed an expression that said "as expected".

Chen Changan had already guessed that there was a conflict between the two subordinate units.

How could the higher-ups not come to check on the situation and appease the people after mediating?

Chen Changan saw the construction team leader looking at him with embarrassment.

Chen Changan then spoke to Uncle Nie.

"Uncle Nie, this is what happened. Yesterday, after I learned about the construction team's situation, I was shocked.

The leader of the construction team handed me a watch he had captured on the battlefield.

I want to use the watch as food allowance so that the workers of the construction team can eat in the cafeteria of our automobile factory.

All the saved money and food were sent to the families of the fallen comrades.

This is not something they should do, but something I should do.

Those who collect firewood for the public should not be allowed to freeze to death in the wind and snow.

We cannot let our heroic predecessors shed both blood and tears.

So, our automobile factory leaders studied and decided.

Before the automobile factory community project was completed, the construction team ate in our automobile factory cafeteria.

Several of our factory leaders have just made the decision on this matter, and have not had time to report it to you yet."

After Chen Changan finished speaking, not only Uncle Nie, but also Hou Mingjun, Hou Yan, and Li Chenglin who were standing beside him were stunned.

What's going on? What car factory leaders decided on this? How come I don't know about this?

Hou Mingjun in particular thought the most. Am I no longer considered the head of the automobile factory?

Why didn’t you notify me of such an important meeting?

Then he looked at his aunt with a resentful look.

It’s fine that Chen Changan dislikes me and doesn’t take me to meetings, but you are my aunt.

When you didn’t see me at the factory leadership meeting, didn’t you remind Director Chen?

It turned out that his aunt was also confused. Then he turned around and looked at Li Chenglin, who was also confused.

Hou Mingjun understood immediately. Director Chen is really amazing.

In front of Leader Nie, he could tell lies without hesitation. Just based on this point, he was far inferior to Director Chen.

It seems that I still have a lot to learn.

Uncle Nie looked at the leader of the construction team.

"Lao Jiang, did you take out the watch? Didn't I tell you? Just think of it.

If you have any difficulties, just tell me! You make us feel like we are treating you unfairly."

"Old leader, I don't have the face to ask you. So many comrades need help at home.

You don’t even know some of them, so how can I have the nerve to talk to you?

There is no end to this matter. We are all lonely people, and if one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry.

We are our own brothers, we just need to help ourselves.”

"Nonsense, is this your own business? As long as they are soldiers, they are all comrades.

What do you mean by your own brothers? They are all our brothers. You want to do good things by yourself?

I don't care how you helped me, just count it in.

I'll have the guards deliver your salary every month."

Looking at Lao Jiang, he seemed to want to say something.

Uncle Nie opened his mouth and continued.

"This is an order! My salary is higher than yours, and I am doing this voluntarily. No one can control me."

Seeing Uncle Nie's unquestionable expression, Lao Jiang nodded, accepting Uncle Nie's kindness.

Then Uncle Nie said to Chen Changan.

“You guys did a great job.

Yes, we can’t let the heroes bleed and shed tears.

The country was in difficulties before, and there was still a lack of care for the families of some of the martyrs who died.

Especially in some remote areas, even if the local government wants to help, it is powerless.

Although your starting point is good, your automobile factory also receives grain allocated by the Ministry.

Every worker has a certain amount of food. How are you going to solve the problem of feeding these hundreds of people?"
