Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

“Thank you, Master He”

"Xiao Wang, your foundation is so solid. If I didn't have a master, I would have wanted to snatch you away from me."

"Master He, thank you for your praise. I am far inferior to you."

"You are just a little bit behind. If you were working in a small restaurant, you could definitely be a chef. Why did you come to the factory?"

"You used to be a chef, and you know our industry. In recent years, restaurants simply can't accommodate so many people. Once you graduate, you'll be unemployed."

"Yes, you are right. We should discuss cooking more in the future."

"Lao Wang, Lao Wang" the canteen director's voice arrives before he actually does, this was a characteristic of that era.

"I'm here, Director." Lao Wang hurried out.

"Go pack your things."

"Director, please, let me stay. I have parents and children to take care of. My family is counting on me. I can help Chef He."

"Lao Wang, what are you thinking? Congratulations. The factory has decided to let you go to the first canteen. From now on, the first canteen will be handed over to you. It's a big canteen. How about it? No problem, right?"

"That's good, that's good. Director, you scared me to death. I thought you were going to fire me, but I only know how to cook, not manage people."

"I want you to take charge of Canteen 1. There are too many complaints about Canteen 1. Many people told me that the food is not tasty. Canteen 3 has limited capacity and the focus is on the leadership. With your cooking skills, I don't think anyone would disobey you. I have your back, so just go for it.

Old Wang, let me tell you something in secret. The leader said that since you have taken charge of the canteen, the position of deputy director of the canteen will be yours. Now that I am older, my position will also be yours in the future."

"Director, don't worry, I will definitely do my best and will not embarrass you."

The canteen director had to say that the pie drawn by the leader was really big and round. He was afraid that Lao Wang would complain about being sent to the small kitchen, so he arranged him to a canteen to see his motivation. He just didn't know whether his deputy director of logistics was sincere.

"Ma Hua, Sha Zhu has already accepted the apprenticeship gift, so that means I have accepted it. Just go ahead and become my apprentice. I will teach you well."

"Thank you, Master,"

"And still call me Master."

"Yes, Master"

Soon Ma Hua offered tea, and Li simply said goodbye and the ceremony was completed.

On Saturday night, Zhao Shanhe went to Li Huaide's house. He Daqing had already gone there early, and he was finally able to eat authentic Tan family cuisine.

After taking a few bites, they all gave He Daqing a thumbs up, saying that the dish was cooked in a proper way and was delicious.

After staying in the hospital for a week, Liu Haizhong was finally discharged. His eyes and mouth were crooked, his left hand was six, his right hand was seven, and he moved one step at a time. He was really disabled.

The residents in the compound also visited the respected second uncle. Perhaps they would never see him again in the whole compound meeting. The last dance was Liu Haizhong's last dance.

"Guangqi, your father is in this condition, he definitely can't go to work, and you don't have a job, why don't you go to the factory?" Guangqi's wife said.

"My father is like this because of you. I told you not to say it. Look."

"Guangqi, how could I know this would happen? If I had known this would happen, I would definitely not let you say it. But it has already happened, so we have to look forward. You have elderly parents and young children to take care of, and if you don't work, you will just eat up all your savings. If you don't work and don't transfer your household registration here, you won't even have a ration. The family relies on your parents and they can't even get enough to eat with this ration."

"Yes, you are right, but I have been working in an office for so many years, and my father is a blacksmith. My body can't handle it."

"Guangqi, please don't say but. I know you are not used to it, and I feel sorry for you, but my father has passed away, and you are not the section chief anymore. How can there be an office for you to sit in?

It's not easy to find a job in this city, and it's even harder to find an office job. Now you finally have this opportunity, you must seize it.

It's not possible now. You go in first and see if you can talk to the factory manager and change your position. Dad has contributed to the factory for so many years. Now that my father-in-law is like this, I believe the factory manager will agree. "

"Impossible, you think too much. How can a worker be transferred to a cadre position? Even if your father is very capable and has made many contributions, it is impossible. To put it bluntly, he is just a worker. If he was a leader, it would be easy."

"Why not? Isn't Dad still a director?"

"Qiqi, to put it bluntly, my father's director is just a senior master, and he is essentially a worker. You should also know that workers and cadres are two different systems."

In fact, Liu Guangqi's wife knows this system better than anyone else. She grew up in such a family and graduated from a technical secondary school. How could she not know it? She just wanted Liu Guangqi to take the quota first and then enter the factory.

Their current situation is very bad. They cannot go back to Jinling for the time being. Their father-in-law is in the same condition here, and they have to provide for him in his old age, and they have children too. If Liu Guangqi does nothing, they will be left with nothing.

"Guangqi, you go first and discuss it with the factory manager. At least get a spot first. I heard it's very difficult to get a spot in Sijiu City now."

"Okay, this is the only way. I hope the leader will agree. I'll go discuss it with my parents."

Liu Guangqi's wife didn't expect Liu Guangqi to agree so easily. In fact, she had an idea. If Liu Guangqi really disagreed, she would say that she was pregnant and force Liu Guangqi to go to the factory.

In fact, she was not lying to Liu Guangqi. She had not had a good appetite recently, and she might really be pregnant. It was just that she came back when Liu Haizhong had the incident, and she had not had time to check.

"Mom, Dad is in this state now, and the family needs to be supported by someone. I will take over Dad's job quota, what do you think?"

"Boss, I'm a woman and I don't know anything. Your father also said that everything in the house will be yours from now on. You are the one who makes the decision. You will be the one who makes the decision in the future."

"Okay, Mom, I'll go to the factory tomorrow to ask and get the formalities done."

The next day, Liu Guangqi went to the factory early in the morning. Just as he had expected, he could take over, but it would be a worker's position, not a cadre position.

Liu Guangqi spent a day completing all the formalities and got the grain certificate. From then on, he became a resident of Beijing again.

Liu Guangqi felt somewhat helpless. For the sake of profit, he married his current wife and went to Jinling. His father-in-law also took care of him, and he became a section-level cadre at a young age. He did not expect that in the end everything would become a mirage.

If I hadn't married this wife and gone to Jinling, with the fact that I'm a technical secondary school student and a cadre, my career would be better than it is now, although I would have climbed the ladder more slowly.

Now that he has become a worker, he has to start all over again, especially since his father is a blacksmith, so he can only take over the blacksmith job. He knows his own body well, and he knows that he can't handle sitting in the office for so many years.

But he was helpless. His wife was right. It was hard to find a job now. He looked around a few days ago and didn't see any job openings. He had to grab the vacancy first. He had elderly parents and young children to support and couldn't starve to death.
