Siheyuan: Rebirth 52 years later, escaping from famine in Beijing

Nothing can make a man happier than hearing his wife praise him!

The next afternoon, since there were no classes scheduled, Lu Weimin came to Fengju Hutong and made a giant cake by himself, because that day happened to be Fei's birthday.

Lu Weimin wanted to make a cake for her as a surprise.

His wife Li Jing took half a day off to take the children and Sister Fei out shopping. Lu Weimin took the opportunity to bring the cake back to the house in Ermingang.

Not long after, someone knocked on the door and Lu Weimin went out to greet them. These people were invited to set up the party.

More than an hour later, the venue was decorated festively and warmly. After school.

When Xiao Han got home and saw the atmosphere of the hall, she shouted excitedly: "Wow! It looks so beautiful! Sister Fei will definitely be very happy! I am really envious!"

Lu Weimin smiled and said, "Xiao Han, you also think this place is well decorated, right?"

Xiaohan nodded happily: "It's so beautiful!" Lu Weimin felt relieved when he heard Xiaohan say that.

Xiaohan then asked: "Is there any cake here?"

"Of course! It's not a birthday without cake!" "Great! I'll have cake again tonight!"

Afterwards, Lu Weimin and Xiaohan discussed how to hold a warm and romantic ceremony. About half an hour later, the sound of a car was heard outside the door, followed by people talking and walking. Li Jing walked into the house with her son and Sister Fei.

"It's so beautiful!" Sister Fei walked into the living room and was extremely excited when she saw the festive birthday decorations. "Wei Min, did you prepare this?"

Lu Weimin thought that these were all done by someone else, but it made no difference to him, so he nodded: "Yes! I arranged this." Hearing this, Sister Fei was deeply moved: "Thank you so much! I am really happy!"

The dinner was very sumptuous. For the sake of secrecy, they did not tell anyone. Because the resources needed to prepare such delicacies were not easy to obtain. The advantage of living here was that no one could know what they ate.

If you prepare such a large table of delicacies in a courtyard, even if you close the door, it will be hard to escape the smell of the neighbors, because those neighbors have very keen noses. But in a single-family house like this, everything is so secretive.

After dinner, the family went out for a walk. Every member of the family was handsome and had long legs, which attracted many people's attention.

Later, around eight o'clock, Li Jing helped Sister Fei to go to the bathroom to take a shower, and then Lu Weimin, Li Jing and Xiao Han began to get ready. When Sister Fei came out of the shower, Li Jing came over with a big smile on her face: "Mom! Please close your eyes."

After a moment of shock, she closed her eyes as her daughter asked. Then Li Jing put a birthday hat on her and signaled her husband to turn off the lights.

In an instant, all the lights in the hall went out.

"Mom! Please open your eyes!" Li Jing shouted. Fei opened her eyes as she was told, and in front of her appeared a huge cake with candlelight lit, which was pushed out by Xiaohan.

Lu Weimin and his wife came over singing and clapping. This unexpected blessing instantly made Fei's eyes well up with tears and she was extremely excited. "Thank you! I am so touched. I am so happy!"

"Mom, please make a wish and then blow out the candles!"

"Okay!" Sister Fei glanced at Lu Weimin, walked to the cake, clasped her hands together, made a wish, and then extinguished the candles with a light breath.

The lights in the hall were relit amid applause. Then Li Jing, Lu Weimin, and Xiao Han handed their prepared gifts to Sister Fei, who happily accepted them.

...

The next scene is similar to the previous one regarding the arrival of the skills assessment that the families are looking forward to.

As the days go by,

October soon arrived, and 1955 was clearly an unusual year. Just a few days after the festive and exciting National Day, new policies were announced.

Starting from October, skill assessment will be implemented across the country.

This is a new type of career evaluation system. To put it simply, it links the skill level with personal salary.

in short,

The random chaos of the past is over.

The era of large salary differences for the same type of work in different provinces, cities and units across the country is over, and salary setting is no longer arbitrary. ** The skill rating standards for various industries have now been unified.

No matter where you are, everyone can demonstrate their strength and upgrade their skill level through the "Five Six Seven" skill evaluation system. A higher level means a higher salary.

Ordinary people responded enthusiastically to this policy change:

"Great! Finally, there is good news!

If a few more new policies such as public-private partnerships, the release of new currency, and the grain and oil coupon system are implemented, my heart will not be able to bear so many good things! ”

“This is a really good policy!

According to their own skills, they will be certified at the corresponding level and paid according to the level.

This can greatly motivate our workers to continuously improve their professional skills!"

“Thank God!

The new professional skills assessment system gives me the opportunity to improve my salary level.

No need to worry about being maliciously underestimated by your superiors anymore!"

Residents in the hutong courtyards were also discussing the national technology assessment program. Everyone was very excited.

Many people feel that with the evaluation system in place, they will be able to realize their wish for a pay raise and have a wonderful new year.

In the inner courtyard,

Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu are communicating with Yi Zhonghai about new technology certification matters.

"Second Uncle,

The latest published skill rating system divides tool makers into eight levels (lowest one and highest eight).

Considering your actual ability, you should have reached at least level 76, so you can receive a salary of yuan a month! Praise you, master!" Jia Dongxu was flattering his master, Yi Zhonghai.

Although he heard Jia Dongxu's praise, Mr. Yi still showed a bit of conservative attitude, saying that he could accept the test and reach level 5. "But the monthly salary of 63 yuan for level is also very good!" Ms. Qin immediately agreed.

Mrs. Yi was also very happy about this. "If my husband can reach the fifth or even sixth level, his salary will be the second highest among all the working class in the community."

But after hearing these words, everyone fell silent, because they all knew that the person with the highest income was still their unfriendly neighbor - Lu Weimin. If calculated in this way, even if he reached the sixth level, he could only rank third.

The reason for this high income is attributed to the designation of the previous leader Lou Zhenhua.

Now Lou Zhenhua no longer has the decision-making power. Facing this skills test, he will also be tested.

Perhaps through this assessment we can verify your true capabilities and whether you are truly worthy of the high salary you enjoy!

Mr. Yi agreed: "Dongxu is right! In general, this time's technical exam, no matter how good or bad, must be demonstrated **!"

Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu were all looking forward to seeing the true face of Lu Weimin, the "worm", under the new national assessment standards. Not only Yi Zhonghai, but also Sha Zhu who lived next door was full of hope for this technical assessment.

However, unlike Yi Zhonghai's participation in the evaluation of fitter level, Sha Zhu will participate in the chef skill evaluation - there are ten levels in total. The lowest level chef level 27.5 has a monthly salary of 90 yuan, while the highest level chef level has a salary of nearly yuan. In this evaluation, Sha Zhu hopes to get at least a level chef certificate, and it would be even better if he can reach level or above.

Liu Haizhong, who lives in the same community, is also ambitious. He is ready to challenge the skill appraisal and is determined to compete with Yi Zhonghai. He will be satisfied as long as his rating is higher than Yi Zhonghai.

At his home at No. 31 Ermin Lane in Beijing, Lu Weimin returned from a walk with his family and talked about the vocational and technical level assessment during their casual conversation.

"Dear, the country is promoting a new vocational skill level system. Will you sign up?" Li Jing asked. Sister Fei and Xiao Han, who were sitting next to her, also listened attentively after hearing what Li Jing said, wanting to know what he thought about this technical certification and what level they were at in this new evaluation system.

"I will apply for the engineer qualification!" he replied with a big smile. This instantly cheered up the three people, because engineers are considered to be very important roles. "There are nine levels of engineers, with level nine being the most basic and level one being the top." He continued to explain patiently, and the three people listened attentively.

To be honest, he is very interested in this skill certification system because he has accumulated a lot of knowledge and skills, but he has not been able to show them. Now he has the opportunity to prove his own value. He plans to take advantage of the gap before graduation to turn the knowledge he has mastered into actual certificates. The more certificates he holds and the higher the level, the better the assigned work will be.

When he returned to the old courtyard with the Level 5 engineer certification, Yi Zhonghai and others were surprised!

At night, after putting little Aimin to sleep, Sister Fei planned to go and chat with her friend Li Jing, but she stopped before she even entered the other person's house. "Why are they so loud? Is it because my house is not soundproof?" She knew that the couple was enjoying an intimate moment, so she couldn't help but smile.

But in fact, it was not because the two people moved too much, nor was it because the wall's isolation effect was not good.

This is mainly because Sister Fei has been drinking a lot of energy-rich spiritual water for a long time, which has enhanced her body functions, including her hearing, which surpasses that of ordinary people.

After a moment's thought, she tiptoed into the adjacent room and continued to listen carefully to the more obvious sounds.

Xiaohan was reading at the time. When she saw her come in, she greeted her, "Sister Fei, are you still awake so late?" A smile appeared on her face.

Sister Fei sat by the bed: "I was already asleep, but little Aimin woke up crying, so I got up and coaxed him to sleep."

"Sister Fei, you've worked so hard!"

"It's okay, I like taking care of children! At least I won't be bored this way. It's too uncomfortable to be empty all day. Although I'm tired, I'm in a good mood!"

"Sister Fei is right! People shouldn't be too idle. They need to have something to do to be motivated! With your help, Brother Weimin and Sister Jing must have an easier time raising their children than He Yuzhu and his wife!"

"That's right! The young couple doesn't have to worry about taking care of the child anymore, and can focus on preparing for the second child!"

Sister Fei lowered her voice and said, "Xiao Han, your room is right next to theirs. You must be able to hear their movements, right? If you are not used to it, you can change rooms!"
