The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

early morning.

Dormitory row in the machine repair factory.

Cui Dake, covered with a thin blanket, slowly woke up from his sleep.

He just leaned against the bed frame in a daze, opened the drawer of the bedside table, took out a large cigarette, struck a match, and started smoking lazily.

On the rope inside the house, the clothes that Qin Huairu washed last night were hung up. After being dried overnight, they were almost dry.

After smoking, he put out the cigarette directly in the ashtray. After stretching, Cui Dake touched the bed board beside him. Even without touching it, he could see with his eyes that a piece of the bed board had collapsed.

Cui Dake, wearing a cotton vest and shorts, squatted under the bed and took a look, then stood up while patting his lower back.

The bed board collapsed a few days ago. It's not that he didn't want to find someone to repair it, but he repaired it himself, putting a crossbeam in the broken place as a support. As a result, the supporting beam couldn't hold up last night and it collapsed again.

"Oh my god, this tiger woman is too strong~!"

Only one's heart knows whether the aftereffects are strong or not. Picking up the pants hanging on the rack at the end of the bed, Cui Dake started to put on his clothes.

"Ok?"

After putting on the long-sleeved shirt and pants, Cui Dake realized something was wrong. He touched his shirt pocket and then his pants pocket, only to find that they were empty?
After smacking his lips, Cui Dake realized that all the money and coins in his pocket were gone.

There is a lock on the door and steel bars on the windows. There is no need to think about who took the money. Only Qin Huairu came last night.

However, the money was not much, only about ten yuan, which I prepared specially to buy gifts for myself. However, I didn't spend it all. As a result, Sister Qin came and took all the money away.

Cui Dake was so angry that he almost laughed. He helped this widow's wife with things, and did favors for her, but in the end, she didn't even keep any of the money for herself.

His eyes shifted to the clothes on the clothesline, and then he glanced at the clean table. To be honest, he was so used to the life of a bachelor that he was a little uncomfortable with someone suddenly coming to clean up.

"Forget it, she's been coming back and forth, just give it to her~!"

What else could he do? Although he had to run errands for her and find people for her, she was still his wife. Although the money in her pocket was confiscated without discussion, she also cleaned up the house silently.

Coming every now and then, shaking the bed until it creaked, she felt that she had fulfilled her responsibilities as a wife, and the anger in her heart subsided.

Men earn money and women spend money, but as long as a woman is well-behaved and sensible, even if she is pretending, as long as she pretends to be good enough to make the man feel comfortable, she will believe that money is just a matter of course and she can convince herself.

Wash your face and brush your teeth. It’s good to have a wife. The hot water was boiled last night. In the past, Cui Dake could only use cold water.

Thinking that the time was about right, Cui Dake took out the things from the chest of drawers.

A box of Shanghai wool yarn and a box of Shanghai chocolates, both in the net bag.

It is said that Cui Dake is good at scheming and giving gifts. He knew that Director Liu's wife was from Shanghai, and the things he gave were all to his liking.

He had no choice. He didn't know anyone at the steel rolling mill, and Nan Yi was the only one who would definitely not help him. He could only ask his own director Liu to mediate.

According to his idea, he didn't want to be transferred to a popular position, but just wanted to stay in the current workshop temporarily. He didn't even need to look for the factory director. He could get the job naturally by just saying hello to the workshop director of the steel rolling mill.

If my wife doesn't want to be transferred to the logistics department to sweep the floor and pick vegetables, then she can only go through the back door and ask Director Liu's wife for advice. It's a small matter and very simple.

Carrying his things, Cui Dake swaggered to the dormitory area, went up to the second floor, and knocked on the door of Director Liu's house.

"Sister-in-law~!"

"Hey, Dake, hey, come on, why are you bringing all these things~!"

Director Liu's wife was quite fashionable. Even in Beijing, she still maintained some of the sophistication of a Shanghainese. When she saw the net bag in Cui Dake's hand, she immediately became polite. She didn't block the door and started pouring tea directly.

"Sister-in-law, these things are all from Shanghai. We won't eat this chocolate. There's also wool. It's a good time to knit. In winter, you can wear a sweater~!"

Knowing that Mrs. Liu was being polite to him, Cui Dake accepted all the things from the kitchen warehouse that she had sent to him before, and he didn't care that she wouldn't accept them.

"Ouch, if Lao Liu sees something wrong, he will tell you~!"

Putting the poured tea on the table, Mrs. Liu still opened the box and touched the ball of yarn inside to feel the quality. The smile on her face became a little more enthusiastic. "That's why I waited until he left before coming here. Sister-in-law, there are some things that I can't say in front of him. It's just a small matter~!"

As expected, Mrs. Liu accepted the gifts, so Cui Dake had to offer to help. He held the teacup and looked at her with a smile, not afraid that she would not agree.

"Hey, I've told Lao Liu about your situation, but he's too annoying. Don't worry~!"

Mrs. Liu thought it was Cui Dake's acting section chief's fault. This guy had made many trips before, and brought a lot of chicken, fish, meat and eggs from the kitchen.

"No, sister-in-law, I'm not in a hurry about this. It's my wife. She works as a fitter apprentice in a workshop in the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill in Dongcheng for three years. She will be able to become a regular employee after passing the assessment at the end of the year. Now she is being transferred from the workshop to do odd jobs in the logistics department~!"

"Tell me, is there anyone who does this? I have been an apprentice for three years and now I have to change my job and start over. Not only is my salary lower, but my food ration is also lower. I don't know anyone in their factory, and my sister-in-law is the only one who takes care of me in our factory. I really have no choice but to come to you."

With a wry smile, Cui Dake picked up the teacup, took a sip, omitted the cause and effect in between, and simply recounted the whole story.

"Red Star Steel Mill, oh, I know, Lao Liu has friends there. But your wife was transferred away, could it be that there are other family members of cadres who want to take her place?"

Things are not accepted for free, and Mrs. Liu is also aware of this unspoken rule.

It didn't sound like a big deal, but she still became concerned.

She knew Jiang Xianda from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, an old friend of her husband. They had come to their house for dinner many times. But if there were other cadres eyeing that position, the gifts Cui Dake could give would be questionable, as they would offend people.

"No, absolutely not. My wife is not well educated. She is a widow who took over her husband's job. Sister-in-law, how can a woman accept a job as a fitter so quickly? She has to take it slow!"

"She is a slow learner, so the workshop dislikes her because she is delaying production. But she is my wife, and I can't just stand by and watch. Aren't standards determined by individuals? We can't abandon our injured comrades in the revolution!"

Mrs. Liu nodded her head at this distorted statement. Girls helps girls. After putting herself in their shoes, she felt that what the steel mill did was indeed a bit unkind.

"As for the details, I can only ask for you. Please write down the workshop where your sister-in-law works and her name. We'll see if it works out. If not, don't blame your sister-in-law~!"

After learning the whole story, and with the presence of her old friend Jiang Xianda, Mrs. Liu was no longer afraid that things would not be done. It was just like what Cui Dake said, it was just a matter of Jiang Xianda saying hello to the workshop director.

"Look at what you said, sister-in-law. Whether it works or not, I can't blame you. I have to thank you for helping me speak a fair word~!"

"Have you finished eating the eggs? Let me take a look and see if you need anything. I'll bring it to you later~!"

Seeing that Mrs. Liu agreed readily, Cui Dake cleverly ran to the kitchen, opened the rice jar and looked inside, and also checked the eggs and flour in the cupboard. If anyone were to accuse him of being a man of personal gain, which leader's family member would not like such a man who knows how to get along?

After Cui Dake left, Mrs. Liu put away the chocolates and balls of yarn. Of course, she also threw away the packaging boxes to prevent Director Liu from getting angry when he came back and saw them.

Then he picked up the phone at home and called Ping An Driving School without any hesitation.

However, Jiang Xianda was in a meeting at the factory at this time~!

More than 130 college students, when he heard so many people asking for the driving school qualification of his daughter, his hand that was lighting the cigarette was shaking~!"

The factory is so unreasonable. The tuition fee of more than 30,000 yuan for the driving school is gone in a blink of an eye. The key is that there are too many college students and the driving school has only a few vehicles, so they are almost fleeced of all the wool.

"Come in batches, come in batches, my Principal Jiang. If the factory wants to successfully transform, it cannot do without a high-quality and high-caliber talent team. We can't just send them all to you right away. You have to fish before you can get them. Otherwise, Huaqing University and Yanda University would not be able to get them to our factory!"

At this time, Mr. Shen was comforting the angry Jiang Xianda, saying all the nice words and trying his best to calm him down.

This is indeed not a fair thing for a driving school, but it is definitely obvious for the future development of the factory. Don’t you see that the workshop directors and technical department are trying their best to get a few more people into their own bowls even though their heads are almost broken?

"Then, isn't Li Xuewen also assigned here? Isn't he also from Huaqing~!"

"Principal Jiang, there's a call for you. It's from the machine repair shop, and the name is Liu~!"

"Forget it, I'll go answer the phone, you guys can do whatever you want, anyway, I don't have a place in the driving school, no need to discuss it with me~!"

The greetings outside the meeting room door made Jiang Xianda not want to be PUA anymore. Although he knew it was a good thing for the factory, he couldn't be happy because it had nothing to do with the driving school. It was impossible for college students to be assigned to be coaches. Instead, the driving school had to invest energy in teaching them how to drive.

After answering the phone, this time, Principal Jiang did not sit next to Mr. Shen. He moved his stool next to Guo Dapiaozi, and seeing him arguing with a red face, he poked him with his elbow.

"Old Guo, is there a female worker in your workshop named Qin Huairu?" (End of this chapter)
