Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Because the calibers of these old guns are not unified, and the country does not produce bullets of these random calibers, the national defense industry has now begun to unify the production of Russian-style guns and ammunition, so there is no place to exchange these old guns and bullets of various calibers in the country.

Therefore, Deputy Section Chief Li was reluctant to take out more bullets to let Lin satisfy his gun addiction. He let him fire five rounds to get a feel for the hand and then stopped him from shooting.

What a joke! He could hit a 20-meter target the first time he touched a gun. He scored 47 rings with five pistol shots. What else is there to practice? If he were given five more bullets, Deputy Section Chief Li would think that Lin Geng would definitely be able to score 50 rings, so he should save the bullets!

After asking Lin Geng to repeat the process of how to use a gun safely twice, Deputy Section Chief Li was sure that Lin Geng had learned it thoroughly. Then he handed the flower-mouthed pistol to Lin Geng and gave him two spare magazines. After they were filled with bullets, the three magazines held a total of twenty-one bullets.

"Xiao Lin, if you don't come to work in the security department with your skills, it would be a waste of talent. You are born to be good with guns. Otherwise, you can join the army! At worst, the factory can reserve a work position for you, and it won't be too late to work after you retire!"

Deputy Section Chief Li still wanted to try harder and persuade Lin Geng to come to the Security Department. If that didn't work, he could persuade him to join the army. He always felt that it would be a waste of Lin Geng's talent if he didn't come to the Security Department or join the army.

Lin Geng smiled and said: "Brother Li, I know you mean well, but I am a lazy person and don't like being constrained. I can't do the work of the security department at all. I have to go to work on time every day and patrol regularly, let alone be a soldier!

With my lazy appearance, if I come to the security department or join the army, I will definitely be punished badly!

I just like running around and playing. The job in the purchasing department is the most suitable for me. There are not so many rules and constraints. I just need to hand in the tasks on time every month. I can manage the rest of my time by myself. Please don't persuade me!

"When I get to know the countryside, if you want to get some chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits or pork, just tell me and I'll get it for you! At least now if your family wants to eat fish, don't look for anyone else, just tell me and I'll deliver it to you!"

Deputy Chief Li saw that Lin Geng really didn't want to come to the Security Department, so he sighed and gave up. However, he was still a little happy to hear Lin Geng say that he could get fish now, so he hesitated for a while and said:

"If you say so, I won't be polite to you. Your sister-in-law is pregnant. Now you know that meat is not easy to get. If you can catch crucian carp, then help me get a few. I will pay you the money. I just want your sister-in-law to have some health!"

Lin Geng laughed when he heard it, patted his chest and said: "Okay! Don't talk about money with me, brother. I'll remember this. Anyway, I have nothing to do now, I will find a place to catch some fish for you! I'm not bragging, catching a few fish is like playing for me!

Tell me where your home is, and I'll send it over to you and your sister-in-law in the evening!"

Longguo has always been a society based on personal relationships, and this has not changed from ancient times to the present. Personal relationships are important in everything in life and work. If he wants to do better in the steel rolling mill in the future, the Security Department is a special department, and he will have to deal with them.

At this time, the security department has great power. They are not only responsible for protecting the factory's property from loss, but also have the task of maintaining public order in the area around the steel rolling mill. There is coordination between the police station and the security departments of each factory. If the police station is short of staff, the security department will also send people to patrol the streets around the factory.

Therefore, the functions of the Security Department now overlap a lot with those of the police station. When employees have problems, they will usually go to the factory’s Security Department to handle them first, and only go to the police station if the case is serious.

The last time Lin Geng angrily beat up a group of beasts in the yard, Yi Zhonghai was really driven crazy. He was afraid that reporting to the security department would be too lenient towards Lin Geng, so he anxiously asked Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui to arrange someone to report to the public security department for handling.

Generally speaking, this kind of things would be reported to the factory's security department first, which could handle it completely without even notifying the police station. So Lin Geng planned to not only make friends with the police station, but also with the factory's security department to avoid trouble for him in the future.

When Lin Geng rode a tricycle back to the courtyard with his bicycle, everyone in the courtyard was immediately surprised. They all thought that Lin Geng went to work in the factory and must be an apprentice to his mother Yu Xiuying's class at the workshop.

Who would have thought that Lin Geng did not enter the workshop, but went to Purchasing Department 4, became a buyer, and was assigned a tricycle that was 70% new. This surprised them all.

In fact, although purchasers are very popular at this time, it also depends on what kind of purchaser they are. Everyone who works in the Purchasing Department of the Steel Rolling Mill knows that their job is not easy. They have to run around frequently and are responsible for purchasing various unplanned materials for the factory. To put it bluntly, they have to purchase all kinds of food for the factory, especially meat, eggs and the like.

Therefore, although the purchasers of Purchasing Section 4 are formal employees of the factory, their jobs are not enviable. They have to submit a certain amount of tasks to the factory every month. If they fail to purchase enough materials, their wages will be deducted. Therefore, people without some skills dare not go to Purchasing Section 4.

When they heard that Lin Geng went to Purchasing Section 4, some people secretly began to laugh at Lin Geng, thinking that the factory was punishing Lin Geng by not allowing him to work as a fitter in the workshop but assigning him to Purchasing Section 4. How many connections or abilities could he have to be able to purchase meat for the factory on time and in quantity every month?

If Lin Geng cannot purchase enough meat, eggs, duck eggs, vegetables or grains to complete the task, then he will not even get his salary. Just wait and see how he will live in the future!

You should know that there are regulations in the Purchasing Department 4. Anyone who fails to complete the purchasing task within three months will be dismissed. Although he or she will not be fired from the factory, he or she will be driven out of the Purchasing Department and sent to the most difficult workshops in the factory, such as the foundry or boiler room, to do hard labor.

So some people in the hospital thought that someone in the factory was deliberately targeting Lin Geng and did not want him to take over Yu Xiuying's job and go directly to the workshop to work as a fitter.

Nowadays, the status of workers is very high. If you cannot become a cadre after entering a factory, then being a worker is a very prestigious thing, especially if your work level is higher. Your income will also be quite high, and there is a lot of room for salary income to increase as your work level increases.

Although the salary of apprentices is very low, only 18 yuan, but as the worker's grade is promoted to senior worker, the salary of the workers will be higher. For example, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong. Yi Zhonghai was an eighth-level worker before, and his basic monthly salary is 99 yuan. In addition to the subsidies for processing special workpieces and subsidies for supervising apprentices, his monthly salary is more than 100 yuan.

Liu Haizhong is a seventh-level blacksmith. Although the work intensity is high, he earns more than 80 yuan a month. With the subsidy for taking apprentices, his monthly income is more than 90 yuan.

However, if you are working in the purchasing department, security department or some logistics departments, because you don't have a work grade, if you can't be promoted to a leader, you can only work slowly as a clerk. Not only is the promotion slow, but it is also difficult to get promoted. Although the salary does not seem low on the surface, the key is that the salary will not increase much even after many years.

Of course, some people think that it is not bad for Lin Geng to go to the Purchasing Section 4. Although the salary is not too high, there is a lot of money! If he can buy enough meat, eggs and vegetables in the countryside, in addition to giving them to the steel mill, he can also keep some for himself. The food at home will definitely be much better than that of other families. Who can say anything?

Qin Huairu was hiding at home. When she saw Lin Geng coming back on a tricycle and talking and laughing with people in the yard, she eavesdropped at home. When she heard that Lin Geng did not enter the workshop, her face changed. After Lin Geng returned home, she immediately asked Banggeng and Xiaodang to stay at home and not go anywhere. She immediately went out with her big belly and rushed to the hospital.

Lin Geng didn't care what the people in the yard thought. After returning home and locking his bicycle at home, he threw his fishing gear on the tricycle, rode the tricycle to Qianhai, and caught a lot of fish in the afternoon.
