Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

The Ministry of Machinery Industry was very efficient and all the materials were completed before ten o'clock. Yang Weihua also notified Xu Sinian in advance and told him to go to the conference room for a meeting at ten-thirty in the morning as there was an important notice to be conveyed.

At 10:20, Shi Kejun and his party arrived at the Red Star Steel Mill. Shi Kejun, Wang Jian, Yang Weihua and Li Huaide sat on the rostrum. At the meeting, Deputy Minister Wang Jian announced the appointment of Comrade Li Huaide. As the first deputy director of the Metallurgical Bureau at the department level, Li Huaide served as the director and organization director of the Red Star Steel Mill. Wang Cheng became the first deputy director and deputy organization officer, and Xu Sinian became the deputy organization officer and concurrently served as the chairman of the trade union, becoming the third in command of the factory. Chu Zhengguo became the new chief engineer of the steel mill, and Xing Baoguo became the assistant director of the factory, enjoying the treatment of deputy department level officials.

Deputy Minister Shi Kejun made several suggestions to the new team headed by Li Huaide and put forward requirements for the next development of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

Li Huaide emphasized to the department leaders and expressed his next work idea, that production would be resumed in the afternoon and the normal production and living order in the factory would be restored first; he required that the equipment in the new workshop be debugged within three days and the machine must be tested before the Spring Festival.

The production and living order of Hongxing Steel Rolling were restored, and Li Feiyue and the other two left in disgrace.

As soon as he got to work in the afternoon, Li Huaide called several deputy factory managers. "Si Nian, we are even busier now. The office needs to find a suitable person to be the deputy organization manager and also to take charge of the office work," Li Huaide said with a smile.

"I was just about to say this. How about Li Guoqiang? I think he can do it." Xu Sinian proposed a candidate.

"I feel that Li Guoqiang is the most suitable candidate for our unit besides Si Nian," said Wang Cheng. He is very familiar with Li Guoqiang, who is a deputy in the office and Li Huaide's former secretary.

"Then don't decide on Li Guoqiang. It was you who recommended Si Nianren. You should have a good talk with him. If he can't do a good job, I will have to come to you again," Li Huaide said with a smile.

"Director, Deputy Director Zhang from the logistics department didn't provoke anyone, but you just let him go. Isn't that inappropriate?" Wang Cheng said.

"Of course not. We all know that Deputy Director Zhang is capable at work. He should at least be a director, and he is qualified to be a deputy factory director," said Liu Le.

"Old Liu, it's too late. Dabao is still a child," Li Huaide said with a smile.

"He's already in his twenties, not young anymore. Director, I think what we say about the deputy director doesn't count. Don't let him go to the logistics department. Let him serve as a deputy in the trade union. He will have a higher rank and will have some free time," Xu Sinian put forward his suggestion.

Everyone agreed that this was a good idea, and so without Zhang Dabao's knowledge, he became a department-level cadre.

"Old Hu from the Personnel Department has been there for quite some time, right?" Li Huaide asked.

"It's not short. He has strong working ability and high professional level. It would be a good idea to have him go to the Logistics Department. There happens to be a vacancy for a deputy director," said Wang Cheng.

"There is another thing. The Women's Federation does not have a person in charge right now, and I may not be able to take care of my work in the future," Xu Sinian raised another question.

"Si Nian, what's the problem? There is no one to choose a person in charge. I think Zhang Cuihua, the secretary of the Women's Federation, has strong working ability and is good at implementing leadership measures. She is a good candidate. She can first be the deputy section chief to preside over the work, and then let her become the section chief after a while," said Wang Cheng.

"Cuihua is a good person," Li Huaide nodded in agreement.

......

The victory meeting ended at three o'clock in the afternoon. Then Hu Kexue, the new deputy director of the Logistics Department and chief of the Personnel Section, personally drafted the appointment and removal documents. After the factory leaders signed them, they were notified to the employees of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill through broadcasting and posted notices.

Today, Zhang Cuihua and He Yuzhu both took leave to return to Zhangjia Village, and they didn't know what happened in the factory today. Zhang Lianhua was sad because her eldest brother passed away and she didn't attend Zhang Dasong's funeral because she was pregnant, so she didn't go to work either. However, Xu Damao came and heard about the appointment notice first.

"Da Biao has become the vice chairman of the trade union, and has taken a step further to become a director-level leader. It's amazing." Xu Damao nodded repeatedly for his good friend's progress.

"Da Mao, who is Zhang Cuihua?" A colleague asked Xu Damao after hearing the notice.

"Zhang Cuihua? Why does this name sound so familiar, but who is it?" Xu Damao couldn't remember for a moment.

"Sister Hua is so capable. If we send a new leader of the Women's Federation there, can she carry out the work there?" the colleague just now said again.

"Brother Liu, the Sister Hua you mentioned is Zhang Cuihua. Now I remember, this is Aunt Jia's maiden name. Not many people call her that now, so I almost forgot it." Xu Damao suddenly realized.

"I told you, except Sister Hua, no one can carry out the work of the Women's Federation," Liu Yang from the Propaganda Department said as a matter of course.

"Aunt Jia has become a formal cadre, a deputy section chief, and is also in charge of work?" Xu Damao reacted.

"Isn't it normal for Sister Hua to be promoted? Didn't you hear it just now? Comrade Zhang Cuihua has strong verbal expression ability, many methods to solve practical problems, she is flexible and adaptable, and she implements the work system in place..." Liu Yang said.

Xu Damao nodded involuntarily. The leaders' summary was quite accurate. Of course, she had strong working ability and outstanding verbal expression. Who would not admit it? Let Aunt Jia scold him at her doorstep for a day. She has dominated Hongxing Street for more than 20 years. Who doesn't know that? There is no doubt about solving problems. She would take off her clothes to watch the melons at any time. I asked who was not afraid?

Zhang Cuihua and Zhang Dasong are siblings, close in age and had a very good relationship when they were children. She was very sad about Zhang Dasong's accidental death. After sending Zhang Dasong away, she and He Yuzhu took the bus back to the city. She cried all the way.

It was already dark when they returned to Yard 95. As soon as they entered the yard, Yang Ruihua saw that it was them who came back, and greeted them, "Sister-in-law, congratulations."

"Yang Ruihua, do you know how to speak? My eldest brother just died and you are congratulating me?" Zhang Cuihua immediately turned hostile.

"It's not about that. Sister-in-law, you have become a cadre, a formal state cadre," said Yang Ruihua.

"I have been an officer of the Women's Federation for a long time, earning 40.5 yuan a month. Didn't you congratulate me a long time ago?" Zhang Cuihua was stunned by the congratulations.

"That was a long time ago. The steel rolling mill held a meeting today, and Director Li went back. You became the deputy section chief, a cadre like Zhuzi," said Yang Ruihua.

"Aunt Jia, what Third Aunt said is true." Niu Xiaozheng's father also came over, and Guo Kang and Xu Damao from the backyard also came over and confirmed the matter.

"Dasong... Youfu... Dad..." When Zhang Cuihua heard that she had become an official state cadre, she had countless words in her heart that she wanted to tell her relatives, and she burst into tears again at the gate of the courtyard.
