On the last day of July, the sun was shining brightly and the weather was sultry all morning.

The entire sky is like a steamer, unbearably hot.

At noon, Xu Qing, wearing a gray half-sleeved undershirt, had lunch with Ma Jiefang in the factory cafeteria.

The meal is still steamed buns mixed with stick noodles, and a bowl of meat dishes without much meat.

Although by 1976, the domestic material shortage situation had improved compared to ten years ago, it did not get rid of the tight supply situation.

Ma Jiefang took a big bite of a piece of steamed bun, picked up the thin slice of meat with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth. He looked up at Xu Qing who was sitting opposite and asked in a low voice:

"Brother Qingzi, is there still no news about your matter?"

Xu Qing stopped the chopsticks in his hand and said: "Not yet, but I heard from Aiguo that the main factory will make a decision soon."

"Brother Qingzi, what errands will the main factory arrange for you?"

Xu Qing smiled and shook his head, "I haven't heard of patriotism."

Ma Jiefang exclaimed, took another big bite of the steamed bun in his hand, and said while chewing:

"Brother Qingzi, my fourth sister and my fourth brother-in-law went home last night. I heard from my fourth brother-in-law that the situation is changing drastically now, both at home and abroad.

He also said that our exchanges with many foreign countries are becoming more and more frequent, and maybe in the future, we can also drink the foreign wines that foreigners drink."

Xu Qing looked at Ma Jiefang and suddenly felt that he had really fallen into a wine barrel. He had been thinking about drinking all day long.

As expected, I followed my father-in-law and maintained the fine traditions of the Ma family.

However, Xu Qing took Ma Jiefang's words to heart and secretly felt that the fourth brother-in-law, whom he rarely met, had a very keen sense of smell.

Wherever you go, you can see signs of future development.

This fourth brother-in-law is not simple.

But having said that, Xu Qing knows better than him the future development trend.

It will be two years before the domestic economy begins to develop seriously.

Now, everything is still early.

After lunch in the noisy cafeteria, Xu Qing drank a large bowl of mung bean soup, walked to the sink to clean his lunch box, and then returned to the office to take a nap.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, there was a loud thunder, the sky was sultry, and the clouds were dense. After a while, heavy rain fell from the sky.

In the hot summer, you can finally cool down for a while.

However, the thunderstorm came quickly and violently, and went away neatly. Within an hour and a half, it died down, and the sun returned to the sky and continued to shine.

When getting off work in the afternoon, Xu Qing, Sha Zhu, Yi Zhonghai, and Liu Haizhong left the factory together and headed back to the compound.

Just like three years ago, we all live in a compound, and the neighbors get off work together and walk together. There are many people and it is lively.

On the street, after escaping from the previous rain, the vendors continued to set up their stalls and continued to shout and sell. The trees planted on both sides became more and more green after being washed by the rain. There were fewer big-character posters on the walls, but the red slogans.

Still there.

Always so conspicuous, so eye-catching.

But after seeing it more often, I don’t think it’s anything.

When Xu Qing returned to the compound, the third uncle in the front yard was wiping his bicycle again, but Yan Jiecheng's daughters, one old and one young, were accompanying him, making the bicycle spotless after riding it for more than ten years.<

/p>

After Xu Qing said hello to Yan Bugui, he walked through the front and middle courtyards and headed back to his backyard.

The old lady rarely came out today. She leaned against the door of the house and sat on a small bench, staring at Xiao Hongzhi pushing the iron ring and rolling it in the yard.

Xu Qing, Aiguo and Fengming also played with this iron ring more than ten years ago, and now it has become Xiao Hongzhi's toy again.

It can be considered a family heirloom.

The second aunt was scolding her daughter-in-law, and the two of them were quarreling for no apparent reason.

Xu Qing walked up to the old lady, pointed at the second aunt, the old lady with almost all her teeth, and whispered:

"Xiaoqing, your second aunt is angry because she dislikes Guangtian's daughter-in-law for not picking vegetables cleanly."

Xu Qing nodded when he heard this.

Although the old lady's ears are really not working as well as before, and her eyesight is even worse, Feng Ming gave her a pair of reading glasses, and she wears them happily every day, and no one is allowed to take them off.

Xiao Hongzhi became naughty and secretly took it off while she was sleeping. However, after being beaten twice by Xu Qing, the little guy no longer dared to cause trouble.

Ma Jinghong has been riding her family's bicycle for the past few years, taking Xu Xiaoya with her to and from get off work.

They came back from get off work early today, and they are currently cooking dinner in the kitchen.

Xu Qing went back to his room without any hurry. He sat next to the old lady and smoked while watching his son roll the hoop happily in the yard.

More than half an hour later, Xu Aiguo came back. As soon as he entered the backyard, he happily said to his elder brother:

"Brother, there is news about your matter."

Xu Qing sat at the door of the old lady's house and asked:

"Has the main factory considered the arrangements for me?"

Xu Aiguo held the briefcase in his hand, hummed, sat aside, and said in a low voice:

"Brother, our main factory has decided to arrange for you to become the director of the fifth factory."

"Be a factory director?"

"Well," Xu Aiguo nodded, "Brother, you are still the director of the factory."

Xu Qing smoked a cigarette, thought about it, and said to himself:

"Although I have returned from college, I can be promoted to the director of the ingredients factory. Is it too fast for me to be promoted?"

Xu Qing turned to look at his second brother, "Aiguo, have you helped your elder brother speak to the main factory?"

Xu Aiguo chuckled.

"Brother, that's what I planned to do, but I haven't said anything yet today. The main factory has already held a meeting and decided to make you the director of the fifth factory.

I inquired about it, and it was said that the factory, in view of the fact that the eldest brother, you, represented workers, peasants, and soldiers during his further studies at the university, not only interviewed foreign guests, but was also praised by important people, and combined with the fact that you had worked steadily in the No. 3 Factory for many years, so they promoted you to the post.

Factory director."

After Xu Aiguo finished speaking, he said excitedly:

"Brother, Wang Minsheng, the deputy director of the Fifth Factory, has a very good relationship with me. Last month I went to work on errands and we drank together. If you go there to be the factory director, I will ask him to help you and get familiar with the Fifth Factory as soon as possible.

Factory work matters."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Xu Qing smiled and nodded.

Looking at the second brother, I suddenly felt that he was becoming more and more promising. In three years, he not only established himself in the main factory, but also had a pretty good relationship with the leaders of the branch factory.

As expected, he was born to pursue an official career.

........

The next day.

In the No. 3 Hongxing Steel Rolling Factory, Director Li received the order and Xu Qing was assigned to the No. 5 Factory as the director.

The whole person felt as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue. He was stunned in the office and could not accept it for a long time.

I can’t even believe it.

Xu Qing is the director of the fifth factory. What is going on?

He originally thought that the main factory's delay in making arrangements for Xu Qing was because Xu Qing did something bad while he was in college.

So postpone it.

Unexpectedly, on the contrary, the main factory wanted Xu Qing to be the leader of the fifth factory.

Director Li stood in the office, smoking a cigarette, walking back and forth and thinking for a long time. He turned around and grabbed the document sent early in the morning, frowned, and read it carefully twice before accepting this fact.
p>

With a long sigh, he asked the radio station in the factory to inform the whole factory about Xu Qing's placement in the fifth factory.

As the radio in the factory rang.

Everyone in the factory immediately started listening.

"Dear fellow workers, according to the latest instructions from the main factory, Comrade Xu Qing of our factory has decided to go to the fifth branch factory to serve as the director of the factory from now on."

Broadcast and announce three times in a row.

The thousands of workers in the factory were all stunned at first, and then immediately started talking like boiling water.

Out of the factory director of a five -point factory in the factory, this is the inspiring news.

In the third workshop of the fitter department, Lao Zhang and Ermazi, Zhou Pingtai, Wang Dequan and others stood at the door of the workshop.

Because Xu Qing started to work in the factory at the beginning, it was in their third workshop.
