That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 906: To be a man, you still have to rely on yourself
"Dingling bell~"

"Hey, Ge Qian, stop busying yourself and hurry up. If you go too late, the braised pork will be gone."

"You go first! I'll be here for another five minutes!"

"Then I'll take your lunch box! Hurry up."

"Ah? Then Zhang Jing, just make me some egg drop soup. My throat is dry and I want to drink something thin."

"You drink liquid all day, how thin have you become? One hundred and forty dollars a month and you're still so frugal, really, hurry up!"

The bell for the end of get off work at a branch rang at noon, and the young people in the workshop hurriedly put down their work, picked up their lunch boxes and ran out.

Although the cafeteria of the first branch factory has plenty of food serving slots and the queue does not take more than a few minutes, everyone has become accustomed to "fighting for food" over the years and no one wants to fall behind others.

Only Ge Qian silently finished the task at hand, dragging her feet until the last one, then slowly washed her hands and walked to the cafeteria.

She didn't like to squeeze in line with everyone for food because there would always be people who would give her nice words of advice like her good friend Zhang Jing.

"Hey Ge Qian, you earn so much money, why do you save it without spending money on food and clothes? It will be hard to find a partner if you become as skinny as a firewood girl."

Many male employees even expressed their "love" by enthusiastically helping Ge Qian to prepare a lunch box of meat dishes.

Ge Qian didn't like owing favors to anyone, and even less liked getting involved in arguments with others, so she would always delay for ten minutes to avoid unnecessary troubles and embarrassment.

But today Ge Qian miscalculated, because the colleagues who ran out earlier gathered at the entrance of the cafeteria, surrounded the bulletin boards in three layers, and kept squeezing in, just like people fighting for discounted chicken racks in the vegetable market.

"Excuse me, please let me go in and take a look. My hair has turned white waiting for a house. Please help me go in and take a look."

"Hey, who isn't waiting for a house? I can't squeeze in either!"

"Then please help me check if my name is on the list. I'm short and can't really see it."

"Then let me show you, Zhao Guofang, right? Yes, you are on the list. Hey, brother, you are so lucky."

"Really? I actually made the list, and it's Deputy Director Li Renyi. I didn't even know about the housing survey that was conducted by someone earlier."

"Hush, keep your voice down. Lai's actions are dishonest, but you can't bring disaster to Deputy Director Li. When gods fight, mortals suffer. Don't escalate the conflict."

"Hey, you're right. Look at my mouth."

"."

Listening to a group of old men chattering with joy, Ge Qian knew that the factory's welfare housing allocation was not only posted publicly, but was also, as Deputy Director Li said, "worthy of the people."

Ge Qian knew that Zhao Guofang, an old employee who was transferred from the main factory. Although he had a long service history and a large family, he was very honest and didn't know how to deal with things. According to previous practice, he would definitely not be able to get a house.

But now Zhao Guofang has been allocated a building, so Deputy Director Li did not speak empty words. He was fair and just, and he is a good cadre of D.

But no matter how good a cadre Li Ye was, Ge Qian could not get a house because she was the kind of person that Li Ye had expressly banned.

When Li Ye handed out the employee housing registration form, Ge Qian was tempted, but she had no parents and her only close relatives were a nephew and a niece. She was exactly the type of person that Li Ye "did not allow" to register his or her eldest nephews under his or her name.

Therefore, Ge Qian had no expectations for this room allocation. Whether based on previous practices or Li Ye's current rules, she did not meet the requirements.

"Ge Qian, Ge Qian, I'm here!"

Ge Qian's best friend Zhang Jing squeezed out of the crowd, came to her side excitedly, and said in a low voice: "Ge Qian, do you think the big chin in our workshop got a house?"

Ge Qian hurriedly said, "Don't be so dignified all the time. She's the deputy director. Be careful, there are ears."

Zhang Jing said nonchalantly, "I'm not afraid of him! His house is so spacious, yet he's competing with us who don't have a house for a spot. If we really get a spot, it would be totally unfair."

Ge Qian was startled and asked in a low voice: "He didn't get a point?"

Zhang Jing nodded with a smile, her face full of gloating.

Ge Qian was surprised. Da Xiazi's family had a small courtyard passed down from their ancestors, so the housing situation was not difficult.

But that was the house of Big Chin's parents, and he had no house in his own name. Moreover, the head of the Labor and Personnel Department of the general factory was Big Chin's uncle-in-law. No matter from which perspective, it was not excessive to give him the house.

But he just didn't get the score. Deputy Director Li's rules are really strict!
"Forget it, let's stop making fun of others and go eat first!"

Seeing that there were many people around, Ge Qian still pulled Zhang Jing away. It is better for the county magistrate to be in charge now. No matter how fair Deputy Director Li is, he can't stop the deputy director from making things difficult for you, so it is better to say less.

But when they arrived at the cafeteria, Zhang Jing said mysteriously: "Ge Qian, I have a way to get you to the new building in minutes. Are you willing to listen?"

Ge Qian lowered her head to drink her soup and said nonchalantly, "Don't take advantage of my poverty. Don't you know my conditions? There's no hope."

"No, no, no, there's drama."

Zhang Jing whispered, "Ge Qian, I just read the notice. Only 260 of the 300 apartments have been allocated, leaving more than 30 vacant. They said they were reserved specifically for the introduction of technical talents.

So you just need to get a marriage certificate with Huang Zhisheng and then bring him to our factory. You don’t have to wait in line and you can get a new building right away.”

Zhang Jing stopped talking and drank her soup in silence.

But Zhang Jing continued to chatter: "The standard for introducing technical talents is not low, but Huang Zhisheng fully meets the requirements!
After the reform and opening up, all college graduates are exempt from examinations and their starting salary is at least 200 yuan. Didn’t he come to you a few days ago? If you work hard, you can turn things around! "

"Okay, I'm full, you eat slowly."

Ge Qian gulped down the egg drop soup, then returned to the workshop with the lunch box.

My best friend is never serious all the time. She always does whatever she wants and comes up with weird ideas.

Huang Zhisheng, Zhang Jing and Ge Qian were all high school classmates. In the past, he had some inexplicable feelings for Ge Qian.

But later he was admitted to university and has now been assigned to graduate school for a year. He came over to chat for a while a few days ago. Did he get the offer to continue our relationship?

Moreover, Ge Qian has figured out one thing over the years, which is that in life, one has to rely on oneself.

Ge Qian walked to the bulletin board with her head down, and suddenly saw several people from the General Affairs Department tearing off the red papers that contained the housing allocation lists, and then pasting up another white paper announcement.

So she asked in confusion: "Chief Qin, wasn't this list just posted this morning? Many people may not have seen it yet! Why was it torn up?"

"Stop talking. Our factory director went to the main factory for a meeting this morning and was scolded by the people in the main factory. They said that some employees reported to the main factory that our newly built dormitory building was a shoddy project, so the housing allocation was suspended."

"Paused? Does that mean... no more division?"

"Yes, we won't divide them for now. What grandson who gave birth to a son without an asshole would do such a bad thing? I go to see that house every day. There is plenty of cement and steel bars used. How could it be a shoddy construction?"

"Humph, of course, the main factory is jealous of us! Many cadres haven't been allocated new buildings yet! We workers do have housing, but there's no way we can ask them to think about the masses. They're all bad people."

"."

The people from the General Affairs Department left cursing. Ge Qian approached the bulletin board and read the contents of the notice clearly.

[For the safety of employees, we will ask a professional testing agency to test the employee welfare housing. The specific housing allocation will be notified after research.]

"Ha~"

Ge Qian smiled sarcastically and turned to walk towards the workshop.

She had heard countless similar statements like the one in the notice over the years, but in the end, it turned out that few of them were made "for the employees' sake."

[How can one person fight against a group of people! ]

During the lunch break, Ge Qian worked overtime on her own tasks. Every time she did more work, she could earn more money, which made her feel more confident.

But she hadn't done it for a while when she heard a commotion coming from outside that was getting more and more intense, and it was finally out of control.
