Chapter 342 Li Jia1's appearance, expansion, and quota

Chapter 342 Li Jiayi's appearance, expansion, and quota

"Grandpa, why are you saying this? It feels weird." Li Jiayi scratched his head and said.

"Okay, Grandpa won't say any more."

The old man has a scale in his heart, and there is no need to say it out loud.

It seemed that Li Jiayi suffered a loss this time, but in fact he did not suffer any loss at all.

Of course, the main reason is that Li Jiayi did not feel that he was at a disadvantage. The thing he had the most was money.

What's wrong with my eldest brother spending some money on his wedding?
Don't forget that he is not actually a member of this family, but this family does not treat him as an outsider.

From childhood to adulthood, he has enjoyed the best, at least the best in this family.

So no matter how much money you spend on this home, it is never too much.

Take the eldest brother for example! He was originally the eldest son and grandson of the old Li family, but he was treated worse than this adopted grandson.

Let me put it this way! If there was no Li Jiayi, all these treatments would have fallen on him since he was a child.

Therefore, Li Jiayi never thought about whether he made a loss or not. As long as he was still in this family, he would have made a great bargain.

"Grandpa and grandma, you finally came to the city this time, so stay for a while. I will accompany you to have a good look around the city."

"Child, you should go to school well. Why are you accompanying us? Besides, we have so many chickens, ducks and pigs at home. We can't always rely on others to help take care of them." Grandma said.

"It's okay, grandma. I can take a leave. As for the pets at home, I can ask others to help take care of them. I can just give them some food when the time comes."

Li Jiayi did not say anything about giving money because that sounded too vulgar, and giving things is better than giving money!
Because in the countryside, many things are not available, such as some cloth and some things that require tickets to buy.

"Yes, mother, you and father have come to the city with great difficulty, so just stay for a while! As for the home, leave it to Aiguo and me." The aunt said quickly.

"Yes, yes, just leave it to us."

In fact, Li Jiayi really wanted to stay with his grandparents for a few more days, but it was inconvenient in his hometown, and he was always busy when he returned to his hometown.

But it's different here! He doesn't have anything to do, and neither do his grandparents.

"Dad, Mom, please stay for a while!" Ye Xin also said at this time.

Seeing everyone saying so, the old man thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then we'll stay for a few days."

"Uh-huh!"

The next day, my uncle and aunt went back, including the people who came from the village.

My grandparents stayed and lived in Li Jiayi's room.

As for Li Jiayi, of course he found another room to live in.

There are quite a lot of rooms in his house, but the other two have never been occupied.

Of course, such a room could not be used by grandparents! So Li Jiayi cleaned up a room for himself to live in first.

Anyway, it's just a temporary stay for a few days, so it's fine as long as I can stay here.

As for my eldest brother and sister-in-law Sun Qingmin, they lived in Yard No. 15, which was the two houses that my eldest brother had allocated.

The two rooms allocated by her sister-in-law were temporarily given to Sun Qingmei.

This house still belongs to my eldest sister-in-law Sun Qingmin, because it was also divided in her name.

As for Sun Qingmin, she will graduate this year and go to work. After she starts working, she will also be eligible for a housing allocation.

Li Jiayi did not go to school. He was about to graduate, so it didn't matter whether he went to school or not at this time.

Look, Li Jiayi packed up the tricycle early in the morning, and it was the kind with a shed.

Although it is April in the Gregorian calendar and the weather has just started to warm up, it is still very cold.

Li Jiayi is going to take his grandparents out for a walk today.

So after his uncle and aunt left and his parents went to work, Li Jiayi took his grandparents out.

"My eldest grandson! Is it okay for you not to go to school?" asked grandma.

Li Jiayi looked back at his grandmother and smiled, "Grandma, don't worry! I'm graduating soon, so it doesn't matter whether I go or not. Besides, I have privileges in school, the privilege of skipping school at any time."

"What? There are privileges for skipping school?" Grandma asked in disbelief.

"Yes grandma, and I'm the only one."

"This……"

This somewhat subverts the old lady's cognition, because in her eyes, skipping school is a sign of a bad student.

But she knew that her eldest grandson was not a bad student. Not only that, he was also a good student who studied particularly well.

"Grandma, actually the teacher gave me this privilege because I have already finished the school curriculum."

After hearing what Li Jiayi said, the old lady understood what was going on and said, "My eldest grandson is still the best."

"Tanghulu, candied haws on ice."

"Zi..."

Li Jiayi stopped his tricycle and shouted, "Give me three strings of candied haws."

"okay."

A string of candied haws costs five cents. It's not expensive, but it's not cheap either.

Li Jia paid the money and handed one string to his grandparents respectively, and took one for himself.

"Kid, just eat it yourself. Your grandfather and I are so old, and we still eat this."

"Grandma, why can't you eat it? No matter how old you and grandpa are, in my eyes, you two old people can eat anything."

Although grandma didn't say anything, the smile on her face couldn't lie.

"Grandpa and grandma, let's go to the Forbidden City first!"

"Just make your own arrangements. Your grandma and I are here to play with you now."

"Then let's go to the Forbidden City."

Li Jiayi started the tricycle and soon arrived at the Forbidden City, because it was not very far away.

Li Jiayi found a place near Donghuamen to park the tricycle, locked it, and took his grandparents to the main gate.

The Forbidden City is open at this time, but tickets are required. However, the price of the ticket is very low, only 20 cents.

And this price continued until 1980, when it rose to one yuan, and has continued to rise since the 1990s.

Li Jiayi spent 60 cents to buy three tickets and went in.

In fact, there are not many people coming to the Forbidden City at this time, mainly people from other places on business trips.

Locals rarely come here, and many people feel it is not worth spending two cents to take a walk around here.

But it is rare for outsiders to come here! When I come here on business, as long as I have some free time, my first choice is to come here and take a look.

"This is the Forbidden City! It's so spectacular." said Grandpa.

In fact, the current Forbidden City is not as good as it looks in later generations, mainly because many places have not yet been restored.

But for the old man and the old lady, it was actually quite spectacular.

"Grandpa, grandma, let me take a picture for you!"

"Photograph?"

"Yes, I brought a camera." Li Jiayi said and took out a camera from his schoolbag.

He bought five large shopping malls in the United States for zero dollars! What was missing?

"Hahaha, okay."

With the camera, the old man and the old lady are in a completely different spirit, and their figures can be seen everywhere in the Forbidden City.

Sometimes when I meet other people, I ask them to help me take the photo, and that means there are three of us together.

"Come on, grandma, drink some water."

Although the two elders looked very energetic, Li Jiayi was also worried that they would be tired, so he let them drink some spiritual spring water from time to time.

In this way, people will not feel tired. Not only that, but the body functions better.

I stayed in the Forbidden City until noon and finally toured the entire city. I also took countless photos.

Anyway, I used more than a box of film. You know, there are twelve rolls in a box!

After coming out of the Forbidden City, they walked to Donghuamen, asked the two elders to get in the car, and Li Jiayi drove to Qianmen.

"Grandson, this is not the way back!" said grandma.

"Grandma, let's not go back. I'll take you to eat roast duck."

"Kid, why don't you just go home and cook for yourself? Why are you spending money to eat out?"

"Grandma, when we come here, how can we not eat roast duck? Besides, it doesn't cost much."

The thing Li Jiayi lacks the least is money. Problems that can be solved with money are not problems at all to him.

"Okay, just listen to your eldest grandson! Now it's your eldest grandson who is taking us out to play."

"OK then!"

Soon the tricycle arrived at Quanjude. Li Jiayi parked the tricycle, locked it, and took his grandparents in.

Li Jiayi found an empty seat and helped his grandparents sit down.

At this time, a waiter came over and asked, "What would you like to eat?"

"Of course we come here to eat roast duck. Give us two roast ducks and the duck bones for soup."

"OK, just a second."

"Grandpa and grandma, you two take a seat first. I'll go and pay the bill."

"Yeah! Go ahead!"

You don’t need a ticket to eat roast duck at Quanjude, but the price is very expensive, a roast duck costs eight yuan.

But it is really worth it because there are many side dishes and ingredients, and of course, the most important thing is that you don’t need a ticket.

Soon Li Jiayi came back after paying the sixteen yuan, looked at the old man and asked, "Grandpa, would you like a drink?"

"No, I won't drink today since we're out having fun. I'll drink when I get home tonight."

"That's okay too."

The roast duck was a very satisfying meal, but the waiting time was too long, almost an hour from the time we came in to the time we could eat.

After dinner, we didn’t go to any other attractions, but just walked around here in front, including Dashanlan.

Although we didn't visit any tourist attractions, we did eat a lot of snacks.

Fortunately, most of the snacks here don’t require tickets. Even for those that do, Li Jiayi has no shortage of them.

Anyway, the two elders were very happy and felt that they had never eaten so many delicious foods in their lives.

Seeing the two elders happy, Li Jiayi was also happy! He brought the two elders out just to make them happy!

In the next few days, Li Jiayi took the two elders to the Temple of Heaven, the Temple of Earth, the Bell Tower and other places.

On Sunday, Li Jiayi went back to his hometown to collect supplies, and his family would take the two elders out.

Because of the camera, my second sister was the most excited.

After staying in the city for half a month, the old lady really couldn't stay there any longer, mainly because she was worried about her family.

Li Jiayi was unwilling to send them back when he went to collect supplies on Sunday, and insisted on going back early.

Moreover, even when Li Jiayi wanted to send them off, he still refused and insisted on taking the bus back by himself.

There was no other choice, Li Jiayi could only send them to the bus.

Anyway, I don’t have to walk, so there’s nothing to worry about.

After his grandparents got on the bus, Li Jiayi did not go to school either.

During this period of time, he was playing with his grandparents and had no time to deliver supplies to several factories.

Now that grandpa and grandma have gone back, we need to make up for it! So, I drove directly to the factory.

It took Li Jiayi a whole morning to deliver two trucks to the third steel rolling mill.

One cart of pork, beef and mutton, one cart of chicken, duck and fish.

I had a quick bite in the space at noon, and in the afternoon I delivered a truckload of 20,000 kilograms of pork to the Fifth Steel Rolling Mill.

At the same time, my grandparents also took a car to Liucun Commune and found Sixth Grandpa's ox cart at the west end of the commune.

"Sixth brother, come and have a cigarette." The old man quickly handed him a cigarette.

"Are you back from the city?" Sixth Grandpa asked with a smile as he took the cigarette.

"Well, he's back. My eldest grandson is so filial. He takes us out to play and eat every day, and we spend a lot of money." Although the old man said this, he did mean to show off.

But the reason why they had to come back was indeed because of this.

In the past half month, Li Jiayi took them out to play and eat, and spent several hundred dollars.

You know, we went to some big restaurants, and the food there was very expensive.

In fact, this is very normal. At this time, there are no cheap restaurants that do not require tickets. You should know that there are only a dozen such restaurants in the entire imperial capital!

When Li Jiayi took his grandparents out for dinner, of course they had the best food! Even Lao Mo went along.

You can imagine how much money it cost, which is why my grandparents insisted on coming back.

"Uncle Lao Gen will enjoy a good life from now on, and his grandson is very capable." said a woman who is about the same age as the old man.

"That's right. Uncle Lao Gen and Aunt Lao Gen look like blessed people," said another woman.

"By the way, Auntie, why didn't Jiayi send you back?"

The old lady smiled and said, "They wanted to send it, but we didn't agree. Jiayi is still in school now, and he has taken a long leave to accompany the two of us."

"Yeah! Jiayi is still in school!"

Then the old lady took out some White Rabbit milk candies and gave a few to everyone.

"Auntie, did you have a good time strolling around the city this time?" a woman asked.

“We walked around and took a lot of photos.”

"Oh! Really? Come on, let's see."

"Okay." The old lady said and opened a bag full of photos.

Seeing so many photos, the women were so surprised that they were speechless.

"Auntie, so many photos, how much will it cost?"

"These are free. My eldest grandson has a camera and he took the photos himself." The old lady said with a smile.

In fact, developing photos was not cheap in that era. One photo cost fifty cents. Li Jiayi said these were free because he was worried that his grandparents would be afraid to spend money.

He had no shortage of cameras and film, but he still needed someone to develop the photos.

"This... there must be several hundred of them, right?"

"Yes, there are more than six hundred in total."

These more than 600 photos were carefully selected, otherwise there would be more. Some of them were not taken very well, so Li Jiayi did not want them.

"Oh my! We in this village have never taken so many photos in our entire lives!"

The old man and Sixth Grandpa were smoking and chatting nearby. Sixth Grandpa suddenly patted the old man on the shoulder and said, "I didn't expect it! You are the first one in our village to enjoy happiness."

"Sixth brother, you are not the same."

"Hahaha, yes, yes."

You know, although he has no children, the younger generations are very filial to him, and it can be said that he is now living a life of retirement.

He only needed to drive the ox cart to and from the commune once a day, and even if he had more food and money to spend, it was almost enough.

Not only that, Li Jiayi would also present gifts of filial piety during festivals.

That's why the old man laughed when he said he was not the same.

You have to know that in the whole village, apart from Li Laogen's family, Li Jiayi is the only one who can send filial respect to him.

"This brat used to ride in my bullock cart, but now that he has his own car, he doesn't even ride in my bullock cart anymore."

"That's because your ox cart is too slow."

"Right."

It took Li Jiayi another two days to finally deliver the supplies to several factory directors.

The whole month of April passed.

It is May now, and this year's Labor Day is just a one-day holiday because many factories are expanding.

It’s a busy time now, and even if I take a day off, I won’t be able to go back home.

The first batch of factories to be expanded included the Woolen Textile Mill, the Third Steel Rolling Mill, the Fifth Steel Rolling Mill, the Hongye Iron and Steel Plant, and the Machine Repair Plant.

The bakery was not on the first list of expansions, mainly because it had already been expanded once just after the three difficult years.

Nevertheless, it is inevitable that the bakery will expand, just not the first batch.

The woolen mill is to be expanded to 20,000 employees, but it currently has about 16,000 employees, which means that there are still about 4,000 employees to be recruited.

At the same time, the woolen mill's level was raised by half a level, reaching a vice-ministerial level enterprise unit.

Directly under the Ministry of Industry, it is currently the only vice-ministerial level enterprise unit in the capital.

The Hongye Iron and Steel Plant has expanded to 12,000 people and currently has more than 8,000 employees, and is about to recruit more than 3,000 people.

Similarly, Hongye Iron and Steel Plant was also promoted half a level to become a full-department-level enterprise unit.

The Third Steel Rolling Mill and the Fifth Steel Rolling Mill expanded from about 5,000 employees to 7,000 employees.

The level remains unchanged and it is still a director-level enterprise unit.

The machine repair factory also expanded from more than a thousand people to three thousand people. Similarly, its level remained unchanged and it was still a director-level enterprise unit.

After this round of work, Li Jiayi had forty more job vacancies.

Among them, thirty are factory employment quotas and ten are regular employee quotas.

As for the factory entry quota, it means that you can enter the factory directly without taking the assessment, but you have to start as an apprentice.

The quota for formal workers is relatively easy to understand, that is, once you enter the factory, you become a formal worker.

A formal worker is a formal worker, but he cannot be compared with a graded employee because the salary of a formal worker is only 27.5 yuan, while a graded employee, even the lowest level worker, earns 33 yuan a month.

Because the imperial capital belongs to the sixth category of areas, the starting salary for a first-level worker is thirty-three.

Of course, these forty places are not for one factory. The woolen textile factory has fifteen, five of which are regular worker places and ten are for entering the factory.

Hongye Iron and Steel Plant gave ten places to enter the factory, but no places for formal employees.

It’s not that they didn’t want to give it, but Li Jiayi didn’t want it because Hongye Iron and Steel Plant was too far from the city.

The third and fifth rolling mills each offered five quotas for entry into the factory and one quota for regular workers.

The machine repair factory did not give Li Jiayi a quota for employment, but gave him three regular worker quotas, which was quite fair. Besides, these quotas were not what Li Jiayi asked for, but were given to him by others on their own initiative.

This is also a disguised way of giving Li Jiayi a benefit! You know, the quota means money!

Nowadays, a job quota is very valuable. Even if it is just a quota to enter a factory, it can be sold for sixty or seven hundred yuan.

For a large factory like the Woolen Textile Mill, even if it only had a thousand employees, there would be people vying for them. The same was true for the Hongye Iron and Steel Plant and the Third and Fifth Steel Rolling Mills.

This is true even for a machine repair factory. You have to know that a machine repair factory is also a department-level unit!

Being at the deputy director level might not mean much in the imperial capital, but if placed outside, he would be the head of a county!

Similarly, Li Aimin was also promoted, a disguised promotion, and it was an automatic promotion.

Although he is still the deputy section chief of the warehousing department, his rank is that of a full section chief.

It can even be said that the leaders of the entire woolen mill were the same, and all of them were promoted half a level.

He is not as good as Deputy Director Wang of the Logistics Department. Although he is still the deputy factory director, he is actually at the director level.

Even the directors of each canteen have been demoted from the original section level to the current deputy section level.

However, this deputy section chief is a real deputy section chief, unlike Li Aimin, who is only a deputy section chief but is actually a full section chief.

This is because the head of the warehousing section is now at the deputy division level! Deputy division level people are holding the title of section chief, what do you, a deputy section chief, expect?

There is also the director of the Logistics Department. He was originally at the deputy bureau level, and now he has been upgraded as a whole. He is now at the bureau level, and he is still holding the position of director of the Logistics Department.

You have to know that position means nothing, level is everything.

In some departments of ministries, many section chiefs are at the deputy director level; in some important departments, even the section chiefs are at a higher level.

The people who suffer the most are people like Li Jiayi who do not have a position. Because they do not have a position, there is no way to get promoted. He is still at administrative level 22.

But he doesn't care. It's easy for him to upgrade his level.

Moreover, because he has not officially joined the company yet, his current level has reached its limit, so there is no way to get promoted even if he wants to.

Before he officially started working, he was already at the 22nd administrative level, which is equivalent to a full-time job as a college student.

How do those college students who have worked hard to finish college feel about this? You have to know that after graduation, they still have to work for a year to reach this level!

That night, as soon as Li Jiayi arrived home, he was surrounded by his family.

"Mom and Dad, what are you doing?" Li Jiayi asked puzzledly.

"Son, what are your plans for the quota you have?" Li Aimin asked.

"Uh! Dad, how did you know I have a quota?" Li Jiayi asked in surprise.

You have to know that this quota was only given today and he hasn't told anyone yet.

"What's so strange about this? Your father was allocated two places to work in the factory! How could you not have one?" Ye Xin said.

Hearing Ye Xin say this, Li Jiayi didn't do anything yet! Li Aimin touched his nose and said, "Don't say that."

He looked as awkward as could be.

At this time Ye Xin also realized that she seemed to have said the wrong thing. What do you mean your dad has it? How could you not have it?

Does this mean that the son is much better than the father?

"Dad, what are your plans?" Li Jiayi asked Li Aimin.

"It's like this, I plan to give the quota I have to the village."

Li Jiayi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, it just so happens that my uncle is going to be the captain, which can enhance his prestige."

"By the way, son, how many places do you have?" Li Aimin asked.

Li Jiayi didn't say anything, but stretched out four fingers.

"Four! That's much better than your father. He was a regular section chief, but he only got two."

"Mom, it's not four, it's forty."

"How much... how much?"

"Forty, thirty for factory employment and ten for regular employees."

"Pfft! Son, how come you have so much? Even if you're the factory director, it's impossible for you to get so much, right?"

Hearing what Li Aimin said, Li Jiayi curled his lips and said, "You think too much."

Are you kidding? Even the factory director doesn’t have so many quotas. I wonder how many more quotas he has.

His current quota was given to him by the factory. If he asks the factory director for it, he can probably get ten or eight more.

Of course, this is the case if he asks for it, but he does not intend to ask for it because he already has enough places, so why would he need so many?

"So son, are you planning to give all these places to the village?"

"Dad, these positions will leave two regular jobs, one for my sister-in-law, and I'll let my sister-in-law give it to her sister."

Sun Qingmei is also sixteen years old this year. Since Sun Qingmin married Li Chengqian, no one in the Sun family has had a formal job.

This quota is just enough to make up for the shortfall for his family, and he will be a formal employee once he enters the factory.

"What about the other one?"

"Give the other one to Zheng Changfeng! He is also seventeen years old this year. By giving him this quota, my help to their family will be over."

Zheng Changfeng is Zheng Changrong's younger brother and the second son of Widow Xu.

"All right!"

"The rest..."

"Give them all to the village! But Ming will only give 32 quotas to enter the factory. As for the eight regular workers, give them to my uncle! Let him make the decision."

Although everyone in the village is surnamed Li, there are still people from far and near! This regular job quota must be from within the family!
However, there is a prerequisite, that is, the person who gets the formal job quota must have a certain level of academic qualifications.

Although this formal job position is not included in the clerk system, you have to learn faster than others!
How can you learn faster than others if you don’t even know the characters?

"Son, your quota for a formal employee is not as good as the quota for a clerk! If you give it to Sun Qingmei, she won't have any ideas, right?"

Li Jiayi knew that his mother didn't want the family to have a quarrel over such a small matter.

"This……"

"Forget it, let's give this quota back to the village! I'll go to the factory and ask for another one later."

"Ah! You still want it?" the second sister asked in surprise.

"Why not? Besides, I didn't ask for these places, but they were given to me."

"Okay! You are awesome." The second sister gave Li Jiayi a thumbs up.

"Second sister, believe it or not, I can get a quota from the factory to put you in."

"Uh! No! I don't want to work in a factory. It's better for me to work in an office."

"You can also sit in the office at the factory! And the woolen textile factory is different now! It's a vice-ministerial enterprise unit, and its level is much higher than many government agencies."

With his second sister's personality, he would really feel uneasy if he didn't keep her around.

The woolen mill is a good place, especially after being upgraded.

"I think it's okay." Ye Xin nodded in agreement.

"I don't agree." The second sister shouted.

"Just because you say you don't agree, then you don't agree? Do you have the final say?" Ye Xin looked at her and asked.

"Mom, you can't do this. My eldest sister can choose what she likes, so why can't I?"

"If you were half as good as your older sister, I wouldn't say anything. Look at what you are like."

"I……"

"Second sister, it's actually quite good to be in the woolen mill. And you don't have to stay there forever. You can stay there for a few years. With me here, I can raise your rank. Then, wouldn't it be better to transfer you to a government unit?"

"Uh! Is this still possible?"

"why not?"

"If that's the case, I agree."

"Yes! Before you graduate next year, I will ask the woolen mill to send a letter to the school."

"it is good."

"Mom, your deputy director of the Propaganda Department has reached the age limit! Do you want to take the next step?"

"Son, it's not possible now! Now the deputy section chief is at the level of a full section chief! I'm not even a deputy section chief now."

"Mom, who can say that a deputy section chief must be at the section level?"

"Well, isn't that the case in our factory now?"

"Mom, the reason why it's like this now is because the wool spinning mill has been upgraded, but the deputy section chief is still the deputy section chief, the position is the position, and the level is the level."

"This……"

"Okay, Mom, my dad is already level 16, you should at least make him level 18!"

Level 18 is the lowest level of deputy section level, with a salary of only 87.5 yuan, which is not as high as an eighth-level worker and 3 yuan higher than a seventh-level worker.

"Son, will this be troublesome?"

"What's the trouble? It's just a word from your son."

Li Jiayi had never mentioned to anyone before that he wanted to give his parents a promotion, but this time he planned to do so.

Of course, he would not go to see the factory director or the deputy director, or even the director of the logistics department.

Didn't Deputy Director Wang ask him for help last time? Then he just needs to tell Deputy Director Wang.

Just a deputy section level position, it is nothing for the current woolen mill.

Besides, a deputy section-level official wasn’t worthy of him going to see the factory director.

And Director Qiao is no ordinary person now! He is not only the director, but also the deputy director.

Although it's just a title, the level is real!
"Well, you decide. Oh, son, if you can do it, then do it. If you can't, forget it. It's fine the way it is now."

Yes, Ye Xin is very satisfied with her current life. Except for the one who is still in school, all the five members of her family have jobs.

And every job is good and the salary is high.

After the second daughter graduates, the whole family will have a job, which is probably hard to find in the entire imperial capital.

Especially my son, he not only has a good job but also has abilities. It would be nice if he could continue living like this.

"Don't worry, Mom. It's a simple matter. Just wait for good news!"

Deputy Director Wang is a nice guy, and this little favor is nothing.

Besides, when he asked me to deliver meat to the Third Steel Rolling Mill last time, I didn’t hesitate!
If someone won't even help with such a small matter, then it means that this person is not worth making friends with and it's better to break up with him as soon as possible.

Soon, my parents went to cook, and my eldest brother and sister-in-law came over when it was almost time for dinner.

There's nothing I can do. We're newlyweds, so it's completely understandable. It will be fine after a while.

So no one said anything. If they dared to do this in other families, they would probably have been scolded by the mother-in-law.

Although Ye Xin is not a mother-in-law, there is no difference between her and her.

"Aunt, I'm sorry, we..."

Before Sun Qingmin could finish her words, Ye Xin interrupted her and said with a smile: "It's okay, you just got married."

Although Ye Xin said so, Sun Qingmin still said: "I will come back to help you cook after get off work tomorrow."

"No, it's just cooking. It's not tiring. I'm still waiting to have a grandchild!"

After Ye Xin said this, Sun Qingmin felt even more embarrassed.

The next morning, Li Jiayi went to the factory and went to the factory director's office first.

"Dong dong dong."

Knocked on the door first.

"Enter."

Hearing the sound, Li Jiayi pushed the door open and went in.

"Congratulations." Li Jiayi clasped his fists with a playful smile.

"What are you doing, little brat?"

"Congratulations on your promotion, of course!"

"Come on! Tell me what you want from me?"

Director Qiao has been dealing with Li Jiayi for a long time, so he can't help but understand what's going on with him.

He would never come to see me if there was nothing wrong.

"Nothing much, I just want a job."

"Job quota? Didn't we allocate some to you?" Director Qiao asked doubtfully.

"Oh! They are all factory quotas. Although there are a few regular employee quotas, I need a clerk quota."

"Oh, I see! It's my fault for not telling you in advance." After saying that, he opened the drawer, took out two forms and handed them over.

"One will do."

"It's okay. You don't open your mouth easily. If you do, I can give you less!"

For others, a form may be difficult, but for Director Qiao, it is nothing.

He has a lot of such forms in his drawer, just waiting for someone to come to him.

And Li Jiayi is the person he values ​​the most! To be honest, his success today, and even the success of the wool spinning mill today, are all related to Li Jiayi.

During the three difficult years, other factories basically stopped production. Even if they did not stop production, their output was less than half of the usual level.

But the woolen mill not only completed the task, but also exceeded it. It not only created profits for the country, but also created opportunities for the factory.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to get promoted. It can be said that this is all because of Li Jiayi.

It is because of Li Jiayi that the nutrition of all the employees in the factory is guaranteed and the efficiency is greatly improved.

"Hehehe, thank you then."

"Why are you being so polite to me? By the way, do you have any other requests? If so, please tell me."

"No more." Li Jiayi shook his head.

"Don't be so! What do you think about your parents?"

"Director, let's not do this! My dad was just promoted not long ago, and this time the factory automatically promoted him to a higher rank, so forget it and don't let people gossip."

"In that case, your father won't mention it, but your mother should mention it."

"Ugh! This..."

Originally, Li Jiayi wanted to go to Deputy Director Wang to talk about his mother's matter, but he didn't expect that Director Qiao would bring it up first.

"Okay, it's settled. It just so happens that the deputy director of their publicity department has reached the age limit, so he will go to the labor union to take over first."

"Okay, thank you, Director."

"I told you, you don't need to be polite to me."

"Ok!"

There is no need to find Deputy Director Wang now, and this matter was not proposed by him, but by the factory director himself.

"Then Director, I'll leave first if I have nothing else to do."

"Okay, go ahead. By the way, you will graduate in about two months, so come to the factory to report for work early."

"Okay, director."

Coming out of the factory director's office, Li Jiayi looked at the form in his hand and shook his head helplessly.

These two cards are for clerk quotas! Only one can be used at the moment.

Yes, he had no intention of giving the clerk position to Zheng Changfeng. He had already given one to his brother Zheng Changrong, so giving another one would be a bit too much.

In this case, let’s give this clerk position to the village!

If he remembered correctly, the captain's granddaughter seemed to have graduated from junior high school, so she could be used.

After dinner that night, the family held another meeting. When they learned that Li Jiayi had brought back two more clerk positions, everyone in the family was speechless.

"Son, what are you going to do with this extra form?" Li Aimin asked.

"Dad, I'm going to give this spot to the captain. His granddaughter is also a junior high school graduate! She can be used."

Ye Xin nodded and said, "I think it's okay. Isn't Big Brother going to be the team leader? Then they will have a team secretary and a team leader, and the work will be easier."

You should know that Ye Xin is also from Lijia Village, and the only person with a different surname in Lijia Village. This does not mean marrying into Lijia Village, but being born in Lijia Village. Only then can one be called a person of Lijia Village.

So she was very familiar with Lijia Village.

"Sister-in-law, this clerk position is for you. You can give it to Sun Qingmei later!"

"Yeah! Thank you plus one."

"Why are you being so polite? We are a family and we should not say a word to each other. This is what we should do."

Although Li Jiayi said so, she didn't think it was right. The job quota belonged to someone else. They gave it to you out of kindness, and not giving it to you was their duty.

In this society, there are so many "shoulds"!

"Second brother, please give this quota to Zheng Changfeng." Li Jiayi took out another regular employee quota and said.

"Yeah! I'll go right away."

After his second brother left, Li Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, I won't be in charge of the affairs of the courtyard from now on."

"Son, you've done enough. Don't worry about it. You don't owe anyone anything anyway." Ye Xin said with concern.

"Mom, you're right. Oh! By the way, when I went to ask for a quota today, the factory manager told me that he wanted to promote you."

"What? Son, you went to see the factory manager?"

"Yes! But I just asked the factory director for a quota. It was the factory director who proposed your promotion to deputy section chief. I didn't talk to him about this matter."

"Did the factory director bring it up himself?"

"Yeah! I guess the documents will come down tomorrow when I go to work."

"So fast? What about the deputy section chief?" Ye Xin asked.

"Mom, your deputy section chief is getting old. From what the factory director said, it seems that he should go to the labor union to transition."

Ye Xin heaved a sigh of relief when she heard her son say this. She couldn't squeeze out the deputy section chief just because of her promotion.

You have to know that when she first arrived at the Propaganda Department, the deputy section chief helped her a lot.

It's good to join the trade union! You can work for two more years in the trade union, and you can enjoy the treatment of deputy director level when you retire.
