Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 1734 Pre-New Year Trivial Matters (Part 4)

When Mr. Han received the job transfer order, he was completely stunned. He never expected that after driving a bus his whole life, he would be so satisfied with this job, which, although tiring, paid very well. It was the source of his confidence in supporting his whole family.

But to Han's father's utter surprise, he was to leave his job after the Spring Festival and transfer to the Xicheng Transportation Bureau's vehicle team. Moreover, he became the deputy team leader of the vehicle team, and in a work-study-in-service format.

"Working instead of being a cadre" means that after returning to work after the Spring Festival, Han's father went from being a worker to a cadre.

Although the combined salary, subsidies, and allowances of the deputy squad leader of the car team are more than Han's father's current salary of over sixty yuan plus subsidies, which is nearly seventy yuan, he really can't accept this change for the time being.

Although Mr. Han was still not quite ready to accept it, he still had to deal with the congratulations from the bus company leaders and his colleagues.

The bus company leaders immediately instructed the accountant to settle Han's father's full salary for the month and also to collect a supplementary New Year's gift from the company.

She also kindly and warmly told Han's father that he didn't need to come to work before the new year and could rest and recuperate at home.

After the Spring Festival, the company's leaders and the organization department will send him to work at the Xicheng Transportation Bureau.

Finally, the bus company leaders arranged a farewell banquet for Mr. Han in the cafeteria that evening.

No one would refuse a drinking party where you can eat and drink for free and also give gifts to your colleagues.

Therefore, in addition to all members of the company's leadership team being present tonight, all the drivers and ticket sellers on Hanba's route were also notified.

The occasion was very lively, and unsurprisingly, Han's father became the target of everyone's urging to drink.

At this moment, Han's father also came to his senses. It didn't matter where he worked; it was all about serving the people. But the thought that his family would all be cadres in the future made him uncontrollably happy.

Once Han's father got excited, and with everyone urging him to drink more, he couldn't stop himself.

The result of Han's father's reckless drinking was that he was eventually sent back by his company leader in a car, but instead of being taken to Houhai Lake, he was taken to Mianhua Hutong.

Just then, Han's mother and the others had already gone home, otherwise Han's father would have suffered alone at home.

The next day, today is the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Han Li learned about his father's job transfer after his parents, Han sisters, and his children, Da Ming and Xiao Liang, came from Mianhua Hutong in the morning.

However, Han Li was not surprised by this. He had thought of it yesterday after receiving a call from Shi Junfei.

Whether it's Han Li's report on his duties this year, or his research reports on the lives of ordinary people in Hong Kong over the past few years, as well as his recommendations, they are all substantial and valuable.

Whether the superiors adopt it or not is one thing, but to be able to do things so meticulously requires hard work that cannot be explained in a few words.

Putting aside the relationship with the elders, Han Li also needed to be rewarded by his superiors.

However, Han Li was born in 58, and he would only be 26 years old after the New Year.

Even though the higher authorities have introduced a policy of promoting younger cadres this year, Han Li is still too young.

Although some of Han Li's classmates who graduated in the same year were promoted to deputy director or director, they were all in their thirties or almost forties, and many of them held nominal positions or enjoyed director-level benefits.

Furthermore, the nature of those people's work units is simply incomparable to Han Li's position as Deputy Director of the Foreign Affairs Management Section; the prestige of his position far surpasses that of the others. Most importantly, Han Li was just promoted from Deputy Director to Director last year, and it's not appropriate to make any further adjustments to his rank this year.

As for Han Li's two deputy directors positions at Yenching University, those are places that emphasize years of service and teaching contributions. Since he himself has not taught any classes or supervised any students in the past two years, he is not suitable for promotion.

In addition, the elders said that Han Li was short of money because he was studying for his doctorate, and his frugal lifestyle led to malnutrition and shortened his lifespan.

Whether it was to improve Han Li's family's living conditions and allow him to get more nutrition, or to recognize Han Li's serious, hard-working, and dedicated work reports and research papers this year, this award fell on Han's father.

Although Han Li knew what was going on with his father's job transfer, he couldn't say. He could only say that his father was hardworking and had excellent driving skills, which was why he was noticed by the relevant leaders.

As for the issue of the higher authorities rectifying the practice of using workers as cadres after the New Year and dismissing a group of unqualified workers, Han Li didn't take it to heart at all.

The matter was arranged by Shi Junfei himself over the phone. Even if some people who did not meet the requirements were dismissed, they would not be removed from Han's father's position. Otherwise, Shi Junfei, as the secretary, would really become a laughing stock.

Han's dad didn't have to go to work today. After dinner, he took Da Ming, Xiao Ming, and Xiao Liang out for a walk, followed by two Chuncheng dogs with license plates.

Han Li didn't stay home to rest today either. In the morning, he took Yun Yingying and He Mi with them to his master's house to deliver New Year's gifts. He also cleaned the house again to see if there was anything missing.

After having lunch at their master's house, Han Li and the other two returned home. In the afternoon, they rode their bicycles with Yun Yingying and carried New Year's goods to the Yun family's house.

Only Yun's mother and Du Xiaojing were at home, busy steaming and cooking New Year's goods and washing clothes and furniture.

The Han family still had a lot of things to do, so Han Li and Yun Yingying left without staying for too long. The New Year's gifts they brought back were no less than what they brought when they arrived.

After leaving the Yun family, Han Li and his friends did not go to their home by Houhai Lake. Instead, they went to Mianhua Hutong to meet up with He Mi, Wang Chunhua, and Hou Yuhua. They cleaned their parents' house, washed clothes, and prepared pots, pans, tables, and chairs.

This is also an inconvenience for everyone who is at work; while other families are starting to clean on the 24th, they can only squeeze in time to do so.

However, none of this concerned Han Li. He simply pushed Sanming and Erliang into the alley to chat with the neighbors.

In the evening, Sister Han and her family of three came to deliver New Year's gifts to her parents' home.

This made the small courtyard in Mianhua Hutong even more lively, and Da Ming and Xiao Liang now had someone to chase and play with.

After having dinner in Mianhua Hutong that evening and chatting with their families for a while, Han Li and his group walked towards their home by Houhai Lake after seeing Sister Han and her family off.

After nightfall and dawn, it was the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Han Linian has made the necessary connections, made phone calls to those he could, and sent out the letters he needed to write.

So, Han Li really had nothing to do today. After breakfast, he and his father each held one of the children and watched the three slightly older children running and playing in the yard.

Kids are really naughty. Da Ming and Xiao Ming are at that age where they're disliked by everyone and even dogs, and their antics are incredibly frustrating.

However, for Han Li, a father who can only come back once a year, even if he is angry, he can remember it for the time being and settle the score when they are older.

Around noon, Zhang Qing arrived at the Han family's house carrying some New Year's goods and gifts for the children.
