Chapter 280 Staying and in short supply

In fact, He Yuzhu wanted Xu Damao to go to Old Xu's side and leave the steel mill, so that Xu Damao would be out of his curse.

Of course, what He Yuzhu thought more about was that if Xu Damao left the steel rolling mill, then the possibility of him and Lou Xiao'e having any intersection would be reduced.

But no one knew whether Xu Damao was greedy for his newly gained freedom or thought that the steel mill had more development potential, but he convinced his parents to let him stay.

This is really true. Small factories have many advantages, but it is certain that there are fewer locations.

These days, basically everyone has their own job, and it is difficult for small factories to achieve results, which also means that the career mobility there is not as much as in large factories.

In a steel rolling mill, a large factory with tens of thousands of employees, Xu Damao is in the Propaganda Department, where it is easiest to achieve results. Logically speaking, it should be easier for him to enter the workplace and work as a laborer than for He Yuzhu.

The Propaganda Department of that time was not like those in later generations, which were idle units that just announced the time, called people, and played a few songs.

For example, now, the Propaganda Department is related to all aspects. Basically, if any department has achievements, the Propaganda Department can be involved.

So if Xu Damao had nothing to do with the Lou family in this life, and could have solved the problem of him being the only projectionist in the factory.

It is very possible that he wants to work while also doing business.

As for this thing, He Yuzhu could only sigh that it was their fault that they were two idiots and had to go toe to toe with this yard.

This year the steel rolling mill is now on track and all construction has been basically completed.

This timing is just right, because the first planning period expires the year after next, but most people think it should be completed in advance next year.

This is not a show, but the public's wish. Just like the steel mills, there are also various compulsory overtime.

This year, the steel mill has achieved the original goal of expanding the plant.

Next year we will exceed that amount, and that will be the achievement of the factory leaders.

In this regard, not only Director Yang and his colleagues attach great importance to it, but even ordinary workers feel proud of it.

Personal ethics are personal ethics, but when it comes to work, everyone wants the factory to become better and better.

Because the factory is good, the workers are good!
Let’s not talk about anything else, just like the supporting units of the factory now.

The orphanage solved the troubles of female workers in the factory in taking care of their children.

With the clinic and medical reimbursement, you basically don’t have to worry about major illnesses or minor disasters at home.

There are also bathhouses and other things, which are benefits for the workers' families in the factory.

So when we say that era was good, few people can clearly explain why it was good.

That was an era where everyone didn’t have to worry about old age, sickness, and death.

In such an era, He Yuzhu naturally loves it, so he works with great passion.

Although they belong to the service industry, it is difficult for them to achieve results.

But He Yuzhu is a rare person who voluntarily devotes all his energy to this era.

Everyone is the same, the more you work, the more motivated you become.

However, no matter how enthusiastic you are at work during normal times, you will still feel annoyed when the New Year approaches.

Even He Yuzhu cannot avoid this problem. It's not that he can't get the things, but how to show the things he has got openly is a problem.

In this regard, He Yuzhu was lucky. Just like now, there were seven or eight small jars in front of He Yuzhu, which naturally contained white wine.

Yan Bugui looked at the He family's preparations with envy, but asked tentatively: "Zhu Zi, where did you get all this wine? It's not easy to do this these days."

He Yuzhu complained: "Where can you get it outside now? It's just the few wine tickets issued by the street, not even enough for me to drink. I bought a big jar from a friend when Guo Lei got married in the first half of this year. At that time, it was still available in private factories.

I originally planned to use it when I got married, but who knew that things would be so tight outside at the end of the year?
If I had known, I would have bought more. Alas!

"Hey, hey, hey, Zhuzi, your wine is still..." When Yan Bugui heard He Yuzhui say this, his saliva was about to flow down.

He Yuzhu looked at Yan Bugui warily and said, "No, no, no, please don't say anything, it will hurt our feelings.

I'm counting on the remaining wine to help me get married in the future.

I can’t even split half a pound.”

He Yuzhu's words were of course intentional. In fact, the wine in front of him was obtained through connections.

But there are some things that can be done but cannot be said. It is because of the excuse of the jar of wine that He Yuzhu can openly give his family the New Year gift.

This is also a way of telling everyone that all the wine in our house was used up by him for New Year's greetings, so don't blame him for any problems in the future.

In fact, the city of Beijing was relatively good, because it was under the rule of the emperor. Even during the most difficult years, around the New Year, the number of people registered in the household was counted, and each person was given a certain amount of flour, pork, and soybean oil.

That is a unique New Year benefit in this city.

Even if there are some in other places, they are not as abundant as in Beijing.

But even if you have these benefits during the Chinese New Year, it is definitely not enough if you want to have a prosperous year at home and visit relatives and friends.

So when it came to giving out so many New Year gifts before the New Year, He Yuzhu was the only one in the entire alley who gave out so many.

Even for Guo Lei, he only went to his mother-in-law's house and gave some cigarettes and alcohol to his brother, but he didn't take care of other people.

Most people wait for their relatives to arrive for New Year’s greetings, then take the gifts from their relatives and go directly to other families’ homes.

This is not like the cigarettes and alcohol in later generations that are carried around and no one can tell.

These days, things like a bottle of wine and a pack of cigarettes are still easy to deal with.

Some things like pastries and pork each have their own characteristics, so when I was carrying them around, I suddenly found that the pork that others brought for New Year greetings was very familiar.

Looking more closely, I found that the nail marks were made by myself.

Or maybe the pastries have been opened by the naughty kids at home, so the repackaged ones will always look different.

There were all kinds of jokes, but the happiness and relaxation on everyone's face were the same.

The days go by and there is more hope!

Starting this year, the gap between He Yuzhu and his fellow apprentices began to emerge.

The difference between working in a big hotel and a small hotel. There are also several people who listened to He Yuzhu's advice and joined large factories and units. This year, they also expressed their gratitude to He Yuzhu.

Two senior brothers even made an appointment with He Yuzhu, saying that they would definitely bring their children to pay New Year's greetings to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu remembered that one of his two senior brothers went to work at the Sijiucheng Steel Plant, and the other went to work at the grain station.

Their original unit was just a small restaurant with no more than ten people including the owner and the waiters.

What do you say about this thing!

All we can say is that they have tasted the sweetness of this change.

He Yuzhu hopes that all his fellow apprentices can be successful. The more successful they are, the more cards he has, which will allow him to lie down and live a life of free food and drink.
