Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

Chapter 329 Evaluation of Advanced



Chapter 329 Evaluation of Advanced

Secretary Nie saw that the situation seemed to be out of control, so he whispered a few words into Director Yang's ear. Director Yang was greatly encouraged after hearing this, and he took the microphone, patted it and said:

"Next we will announce the list of advanced workers for 1961. The winners of this honor are:

Liu Cheng from Workshop 3

Yi Zhonghai in Workshop 1

...

……

Sun Sheng, Yu Xinliang and Jin Jie from the Security Department

Zhang Jianguo, Li Xishun, Wang Jiaqiang and more than fifty workers from the Logistics Department.

To recognize their contributions, the factory decided to give each of them 10 kilograms of flour and 10 industrial coupons as a reward.

"Now please invite the advanced workers to come up to the stage to receive the awards!"

Industrial coupons are a type of ticket that was first issued in 61. They can be used to replace tickets when purchasing daily industrial products. From the most common iron pots and enamel basins to more expensive bicycles and sewing machines, including later more advanced televisions, all can be purchased with industrial coupons instead of tickets.

Different items require different amounts of "industrial coupons". For example, to buy an enamel basin, you may only need half a coupon, but if you want to buy a bicycle, you may need more than ten coupons.

The standard for issuing industrial coupons is one coupon for every 20 yuan of salary. For example, Wang Hongtao, a deputy level driver, earns about yuan a month plus administrative allowances, and he will be issued three industrial coupons along with his salary every month.

……

The workers who were awarded walked up to the stage with their heads held high to receive the awards, and came down amid the envy of the crowd.

In addition to the agreed physical rewards, the factory also issued each winner a certificate and a commemorative enamel teacup:

Probably like this

Director Li informed Wang Hongtao in advance that he had been in the factory for too short a time, so his name was not included in the list of advanced workers this time, but he would definitely be included next year.

Wang Hongtao said he didn't care. It was true that honor was important these days, but it was equally unacceptable to be in the spotlight. He had been the team leader of the transportation department only half a year after joining the factory. If he were to be named an advanced worker, it would be too conspicuous, which went against his usual low-key style.

The workers who were awarded the honors came down in high spirits, welcoming the congratulations and praise from their fellow workers.

In addition to generous material rewards, spiritual honor is also very important. Advanced honor is still very popular in this era, whether it is its prestige among workers or its impact on future promotions.

For example, Yi Zhonghai, although he passed the exam to become an eighth-level fitter and became a workshop instructor, he is still very happy and grins from ear to ear when he hears that he has been named an advanced worker.

Li Huaide, who was sitting on the podium, was also very happy.

Listening to the praises from the workers below, Li Huaide felt as sweet as eating honey.

This year marks his third year at the steel rolling mill. From being the logistics director at the beginning to being the powerful deputy director in charge of logistics, security and other departments, Li Huaide relies on the support of the workers.

Why should the workers support you?

Isn’t it because you, Li Huaide, are capable and can get the supplies?

In previous years, Li Huaide had to beg for supplies from everyone, and almost drank himself to the point of having stomach bleeding before he could barely get them.

But now, as long as he has the little pill that all men love, Li Huaide doesn't have to worry about supplies, and he doesn't have to worry about the workers scolding him for not having enough food!

Li Huaide wanted to cast an approving look at Wang Hongtao who was standing below as if nothing had happened: Fortunately, you are here!

……

"Did you see that? The square-faced guy with the short flat hair on the stage is Master Yi Zhonghai, an old man in our hospital. He lives next door to me and we have a very good relationship!"

Seeing Yi Zhonghai being named an advanced worker, Sha Zhu was also proud of it and kept introducing him to the people around him.

Only Liu Haizhong had a gloomy and unhappy expression, and there was a vague feeling of being restrained.

……

Secretary Nie's call for the meeting to be adjourned also marked the end of the steel rolling mill's mission for the year. Except for a few people in the logistics, security, and technical departments who still needed to be on duty, the other workers could finally have a good rest for a few days and enjoy this rare holiday.

Although the annual leave is only three or four days, Wang Hongtao is very satisfied because he knows that in a few years he will not even have these few days of leave.

Shaking his head to get rid of the inappropriate thoughts, Wang Hongtao ran to the logistics department to pick up his New Year's goods, then sent Director Li home, and then began to enjoy his own vacation.

Back in the courtyard, most of the neighbors of the quadrangle gathered in the middle courtyard.

Upon asking, I found out that Courtyard No. 95 was once again rated as an advanced courtyard house. The street office will come to give corresponding rewards later, and the Intermediate Court is arranging the reception.

Seeing Wang Hongtao coming back, Yi Zhonghai greeted him with a smile: "Xiao Wang, you're back? Go back to your room and get yourself ready. The people from the street office will come down to greet us later. You must be in good spirits."

"Besides, the dog at home should be tied up tightly. It would be bad if it is startled by the people beating gongs and drums."

"Okay, thank you for the reminder, I'll go back and clean up now."

Advanced courtyard house?

Wang Hongtao only knew that there would be a doorplate with the words "Advanced Siheyuan" on the gate of the courtyard, but he had no idea what the material rewards were.

But I think it will not be a small number, otherwise people in the hospital would not take it so seriously.

"Grandma Banggeng, take Banggeng back home and change his clothes. His clothes can be worn out, but they can't be sloppy. Dirty clothes will damage the image of our yard."

"What are you still hesitating about, Old Yan? Hurry up and get some people to clear the snow in the alley."

"Zhu Zi, don't get involved. How long have you not washed your hair? It's already linty!"

"Hurry up and get your hair cut, take a shower and change your clothes. You've been acting like a homeless person all day, and you don't look like you're celebrating the New Year at all!"

……

Yi Zhonghai is experienced in arranging receptions and arranges everything in an orderly manner.

When I returned to the backyard, I found He Yushui leaning behind the moon gate, pretending to look at the layout of the backyard.

Wang Hongtao naturally asked loudly: "Is the rain back? Is the school closed for the holiday?"

"No, there is no class this morning."

"Come on, go to my room. I have something to tell you."

"Ok!"

As soon as he entered the house, Wang Hongtao naturally took He Yushui's slender hand and played with it in his hand.

The rain's hands are beautiful, just like lotus flowers emerging from the water, each petal is pale white and pink, slender and round, making people's heart beat faster.

"Time flies. You should graduate in one more semester, right?"

He Yushui nodded: "Yes, I plan to stop studying after finishing technical secondary school."

"After graduation, I will be assigned a job, and I will choose one that is neither too close nor too far from home."

"Why neither close nor far?" Wang Hongtao asked curiously.

"If it's too close, it's inconvenient to live outside. If it's too far, it will be inconvenient to see Brother Tao. So it's best to be neither too close nor too far. You can come back whenever you want. Brother Tao, if you miss me, just come to find me." He Yushui answered in a low voice with a red face.

"Hey, Bie Ke is such a clever little ghost!" Wang Hongtao lowered his head and touched He Yushui's head, then led her into the inner room.

"Let's talk inside. It's more comfortable to sit on the kang."
