Pursued by the Heavenly Dao, first level up in the courtyard.

After graduating from vocational school, Xu Fengling was assigned to Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill and the Second Steel Rolling Mill, which complies with the current rules of Daxia.

Almost every year, various organizations across Daxia receive a number of graduates, whether more or less.

Unless there is a transfer order from the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry, Liu Guangqi can not be transferred from Wanzhou Dongsheng Steel Rolling Mill back to Beicheng Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

Liu Guangqi volunteered to go to Wanzhou back then, but now he wants to come back. It won't be that easy.

Liu Guangqi, who has been disciplined, may not advance beyond level 24 without anyone's help.

Liu Guangqi in the drama also worked in another city for more than ten or twenty years, and in the end only reached level twenty-four.

A few days later, Lin Fan and He Yushui went to get their marriage certificate.

He Yushui, who hasn't graduated from high school yet, is already eighteen years old, which is the age to get a marriage certificate.

Upon seeing Yan Bugui return, Yang Ruihua asked, "Honey, He Yushui married Lin Fan?"

Yan Bugui said calmly, "I've noticed something was off between them for a while now, but I didn't expect them to actually get their marriage certificate."

Yang Ruihua said with envy, "Lin Fan is the director of the Second Steel Rolling Mill. If He Yushui marries him, the He family will become rich."

Yan Bugui said, "He Yushui has three rooms, and Lin Fan has four rooms. Together they have seven rooms."

Yang Ruihua pointed: "Master, there are even more houses in the east wing."

The neighbors in the courtyard had long been prepared for He Yushui's marriage to Lin Fan.

Many neighbors joked that Lin Fan was going to host a banquet, but Lin Fan refused, citing his superiors' advocacy of frugality.

In mid-March, Xu Damao's wife, Yu Haitang, and He Yuzhu's wife, Liu Yuhua, gave birth to another child.

Qi Bing formulated a data-driven performance evaluation outline, which was then discussed and optimized by the subordinates of the Comprehensive Management Bureau.

A few days later, he met with some elders and suggested that administrative positions be upgraded and that performance be evaluated based on data.

The overseas GDP data was banned before it could be used by the Xia Kingdom.

GDP data is not useless, but it has limited impact; it only has reference value and contains many hidden risks.

Li Dakang, in the nominal world, believes that GDP trumps everything.

Per capita income data, aside from being visually appealing and misleading, has no real value.

One person earns 100 million a year, and another person earns 50,000 a year. If they average it out, their annual income is more than 50 million.

Qi Bing personally believes that local tax data, including minimum income data, maximum income data, rural income data, urban income data, and cost of living data, is more accurate and useful than GDP data.

Passerby A earns 5,000 yuan a month. A pound of rice costs 5 yuan, a pound of vegetables costs 5 yuan, and a pound of pork costs 20 yuan...

Passerby B earns 3,000 yuan a month. A pound of rice costs one yuan, a pound of vegetables costs one yuan, and a pound of pork costs five yuan...

In terms of salary alone, Passerby A earns more than Passerby B, but Passerby A's quality of life is actually lower than Passerby B's.

GDP data has many drawbacks, such as failing to show the gap between rich and poor, failing to show labor without income, failing to distinguish between harmful and beneficial output, failing to show the real financial strength of the people, and also suffering from double counting.

At dusk, the Liu family was having dinner in the backyard.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, who used to not be able to afford eggs, were already tired of eating them.

The number of pig farms in Xia Kingdom has skyrocketed, and the supply of various local pork products has increased significantly. Anyone with money can buy pork.

Liu Haizhong is now the deputy director of the steel rolling mill, and Liu Guangtian is now a fourth-level forging worker in the steel rolling mill. Their combined salary is just over two hundred yuan per month.

With increased income, they could buy meat whenever they wanted, and the Liu family ate meat regularly.

Chen Rong glanced at Liu Guangtian and said, "Guangtian, you're twenty years old this year, it's time for you to get married."

Liu Guangtian said hesitantly, "Dad, Mom, there aren't many female workers in our factory, and almost none of them are of suitable age."

Liu Haizhong said, "Guangtian, you are now a level four forging worker in the factory, and I am the deputy director of the factory. Our family is not bad off, it's time for us to get married."

Liu Guangtian smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, I'll do as you say!"

Chen Rong nodded: "Matchmaker Li is a good person. I'll go see her tomorrow and ask her to find Guangtian a young, beautiful, and virtuous wife so we can have a grandson soon."

After Liu Guangqi and Du Lanyue got married, they had two daughters in Wanzhou.

Sunday arrived. Liu Guangtian ate breakfast, dressed up specially, and waited for his blind date to arrive.

A little after ten o'clock, Matchmaker Li brought Sun Yan to the courtyard.

Matchmaker Li introduced, "This is Sun Yan, she's nineteen years old and works at a textile factory..."

Liu Haizhong quickly called out, "Sister Li, Sun Yan, come inside quickly."

Chen Rong brewed two cups of tea and served them to Sun Yan and Matchmaker Li.

Sun Yan glanced at Liu Guangtian; he wasn't ugly and had a strong physique, so she was fairly satisfied.

Liu Guangtian glanced at Sun Yan; she was quite beautiful and had a great figure, and he was immediately tempted.

Matchmaker Li said, "Yanzi, Guangtian is a level four forger at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. His monthly salary is forty-eight yuan and fifty cents. With other benefits, he takes home a little over fifty yuan. Old Liu is the deputy director of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill..."

Chen Rong said a few words and went to the kitchen to cook.

You can buy a refrigerator or freezer for just over a hundred yuan.

Liu Haizhong, Xu Damao, He Yuzhu and others in the courtyard bought refrigerators or freezers for their homes.

Yucheng Industrial Group owns a home appliance factory that produces refrigerators, freezers, and color TVs.

Since refrigerators and freezers are not technologically advanced, Chongqing Industrial Group had already handed over the relevant technologies long ago.

Xia Guo already has more than a dozen home appliance factories. Some of the home appliances produced are sold in Xia Guo, while others are exported by Sanhe Company.

Qi Bing tinkered with home appliance technology and had Yucheng Industrial Group produce home appliances, firstly for their own use, and secondly for the benefit of the Xia Kingdom.

......

In less than a week, Liu Guangtian and Sun Yan got their marriage certificate.

Yan Bugui couldn't help but ask, "Old Liu, when you get married in public, don't you even hold a small banquet in the yard?"

Liu Haizhong pretended to be in a difficult position: "Old Yan, it's not that I don't want to hold a banquet, but the higher-ups are advocating frugality. I'm the deputy director of the steel rolling mill, I can't go against the higher-ups, can I? Forget about the wedding banquet, I'll give you some extra wedding candy."

A businessperson who earns 100 wants to earn 1000, and who earns 1000 wants to earn 10,000.

Liu Haizhong, obsessed with becoming an official, became the deputy director of the workshop, then wanted to become the workshop director, then the deputy factory director, and now that he is the deputy factory director, he still wants to become the factory director and the party secretary.

Liu Haizhong completes all notices and orders issued by his superiors without any compromise.

He would ponder over and over again any information he occasionally saw in the newspaper.

Lin Fan and He Yushui got their marriage certificate but didn't hold a banquet in the courtyard, so Liu Haizhong's idea of ​​holding a banquet vanished.

Since he hadn't bought Liu Guangtian the "three turns and one sound" (a traditional Chinese house, watch, radio, and telephone) or held a wedding banquet for him, Liu Haizhong, who had some money, discussed it with Chen Rong and bought Liu Guangtian an electric scooter and gave him three hundred yuan.

The front yard, the Yan family's house.

Yan Bugui and Yang Ruihua discussed their two sons' marriages, both looking worried.

Yan Jiecheng is twenty-two years old this year and still doesn't have a boyfriend.

Yan Jiefang is nineteen years old this year and also single.

The small business owners had a bad background; when Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li's blind date failed, the Yan family's reputation was also ruined.

Yan Bugui is a hidden tycoon in the compound, but the Yan family are small business owners, so they have always pretended to be poor.

Some people missed out and may end up single forever.

Yan Jiecheng, who has been working at the factory for more than five years, is reluctant to buy cigarettes or alcohol for others. No one is willing to teach him skills, and even now, he is still a formal electrician without a grade, earning only twenty-seven yuan a month.

In the northern part of the city, apprentices earn 18 yuan a month, regular workers earn 27 yuan a month, and first-level workers earn 31 yuan a month...

Men can get married at twenty, but it's difficult for men over twenty with average salaries to find a wife they're satisfied with.

Having missed out on Yu Li, Yan Jiecheng, who had failed in several blind dates, set his sights on Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu has three children? Qin Huairu is beautiful, has a great figure, and is rich!

The shrewd and calculating Yan Jiecheng believed that by marrying Qin Huairu, he could obtain her money.
