Chapter 620: I am in charge of the admiral’s salary!

When Guan Shu saw Cao Dongfang, he said, "Go to the factory to collect your salary. You go to the United Nations and attend press conferences. You look very handsome in your military uniform, and your speeches will be even more impressive!"

"I'm just telling the truth. I'll probably be at the steel mill until March 2nd. I'm going to the Ministry of Defense, and my two kids are grown up. I don't have much to do now!"

"You finally got out of the steel mill. It's a small factory here, and you're lucky to have stayed here for fifteen years. I expected you to leave.

I will retire in five years, except for Chiang Kai-shek, who will retire in seven years. We all have five years!"

"I'm already 55 years old. Time flies. I've worked in a steel mill for 15 years. I miss it a little bit!"

"People go to higher places, water flows to lower places, it's good to go to the Ministry of National Defense, we go there to receive salary and benefits.

Now that life is better, you don’t have to give anything to the factory anymore? You can buy it!

"They can't afford it. Ordinary people have a better life. If it's a steel mill, it's not enough. Fifty thousand kilograms of meat a month is enough. If there are more, the state supplies are still not enough!"

"When you leave here, will you still give them benefits?" asked Uncle Guan.

"It's very convenient. The steel mills don't get it for free. They also pay for it. It's the national price. It doesn't matter if it's free. There's no difference between selling it to them and ordinary people!"

"What position will you take in the Ministry of Defense?"

"Deputy Minister, if possible, you can take over in a few years!" Cao Dongfang did not hide it from Uncle Guan.

"Deputy Minister, Dongfang, you are awesome! When the old commander of the Northwest retires, you will take over and become the best in the military!"

"It's not the old commander's problem, it's about whether my martial arts and being an official conflict. It shouldn't be a big problem!"

"So what if there's a conflict? At least he's a deputy minister. Others will never be able to climb to that position in their lifetime!" Uncle Guan was very happy to hear that.

“That’s right!”

.......

"Dongfang, here I come. Dongfang, you look so handsome in a military uniform. Wear less ordinary clothes and more military uniforms in the future.

I never thought that I would pay the generals of the country every year. If I tell others about it, I would be awesome!" said Ms. Huang from the Finance Department with a smile.

"That's right. Sister Huang can brag in the future by saying that I am in charge of the admiral's money. That will be even more awesome!" Cao Dongfang said with a smile.

"It seems to be true. I've got this in mind. I can also manage the money of a national general. There are not many people like me in the country!" Sister Huang also laughed.

"Then am I not the immediate superior of the National Admiral? I seem to be of a higher rank.

From the steel mill fleet to the national level in an instant! "Uncle Guan smiled.

"Don't even think about it, old man. Look at your wrinkled face. You're old!" Sister Huang said directly.

"Can't I just think about it when I go to sleep at night?"

"Mr. Guan, you're just dreaming!" a workshop director echoed.

"Sister Huang, you guys are busy. You take the mutton, and Uncle Guan takes the other welfare items. I'm going back to see the kids. Goodbye everyone!" Cao Dongfang separated from the crowd.

"I never thought that Cao Dongfang's military rank is general. I thought he was just a major general. It's awesome that he spoke at the United Nations. It really boosts my morale!" said a workshop director.

"I think it's not just about the general issue. Regarding any military issue, the old commander of the Northwest agrees with Cao Dongfang's answer. Cao Dongfang holds a very high position in the army!"

"Hahaha, that should be it. He is similar to the workshop director in our factory. Above him are the factory director and deputy factory director!"

"Old Guo, you are really good at talking. If you put it this way, you are also a national general, only slightly inferior to Old Guan!"

"Alas, he fell asleep. When he woke up, he was just a small workshop director, far from being a good enough person!"

"Hahahaha, Lao Guo, you're as awesome as Lao Guan!"

.......

Cao Dongfang returned home and gave his salary to his mother. This has been the way Cao Dongfang has been doing since he started working and it has not changed because of his marriage.

Song Xianxian gave her additional pocket money, so there was no conflict.

When Cao Dongfang saw his daughter, son and mother learning to write, he came to the hut.

"Jia Jia, have you taught Xiao Min how to assemble a radio?"

"After teaching her once, Xiao Min should be able to assemble it by herself now. We are all students of the Chinese Department of Peking University. Assembling a radio is a piece of cake!"

"Haha, you're just bragging! You're really good at talking. Just teach Xiao Min, mainly the welding part.

I can install ten units in a month, which takes less time, and I can earn money without interrupting my studies! "

"I see, brother, aren't you going to take Tingting and the others out to play?"

"They are learning to write with their mom. They don't need me to teach them. I'll take them out to play when I have time! It's very lively outside today!"

"Brother, do you have cake, fried chicken, and drinks this afternoon? It's Chinese New Year!"

"You can eat whatever you want!"

"Thank you bro!"

.......

Cao Dongfang returned to the living room and saw Cao's mother teaching the two children to write. The children were still a little young.

The written words were not beautiful, but the two children learned to write very seriously and quickly. Cao Dongfang and Song Xianxian sat on the sofa and watched them, but didn't say anything.

By nine o'clock, the writing lessons were finished and the two children drank a few sips of water.

There were a lot of people in the compound in the morning, and they hadn't cooked yet, so Cao Dongfang and Song Xianxian took their two children out.

The two children also wanted to go out and play. After watching the other children setting off firecrackers, they could also set off firecrackers, but they just put them on the ground and lit them with long incense sticks.

This way you don't have to worry about your hands exploding. I learned this a few days ago.

People in the compound are rich now, and children have more firecrackers in their pockets, so there is no need to pick up those from other children.

There is no need to watch others set off firecrackers.

Tingting and Yangyang were still a little small, so Sanmao and the others started to light the fireworks with their hands and throw them out.

The two of them put the firecrackers on the ground and lit them. They were happy when the firecrackers went off.

Cao Dongfang and Song Xianxian were watching them play from the side.

The children in the compound are playing, while the adults are still eating snacks, as they cannot forget to make money.

......

"Jia Jia, your fried chicken, cake, and drinks are in the kitchen cabinet. Move them to your own room and don't let Ting Ting and Yang Yang see them!"

"Thank you, brother. I'll go get the drinks first. Tingting, Yangyang should go to bed now!"

"Go to bed. You finished work early today!"

"Play for two days, don't just think about making money every day!"

"Haha, if you hadn't said it, I would have almost believed it!"

"It's Chinese New Year, Jia Jia can have fun for a few days, there's endless money to be made!"

"I know, so let's have fun for a few days during the New Year!" said Cao Jiajia.

"Yu Shui went home to cook!" Cao Dongfang asked.

"I'm going home to cook. Uncle He and Brother Zhuzi will be home at noon!"

"Uncle He, Mr. Yi seems to be getting old. He should retire soon!"

"Yi Zhonghai will be 60 next year and should retire. Uncle He will be 60 in 1973.

It’s good to retire now, so I can earn more money at home! "

"If they have little money, they can earn more. Doesn't the government allow individuals to open factories? They don't plan to open a factory!"

"I let them sell snacks to make money, that's all. If they don't ask, I won't bother them. There's no end to the money to be made!"

"Dongfang, I almost forgot to ask if the government is going to raise wages on May Day. There are rumors in our hospital!"

"It should be. I haven't asked. The country's tax revenue is pretty good, plus personal income tax. A wage increase is not a big problem. The price of meat has been rising for several years!"

"Dongfang, your personal income tax seems to be criticized by others. Several doctors in our hospital have relatives and friends who are doing business. When it comes time to pay taxes, they complain about this tax!" Song Xianxian said with a smile.

"They are all over the world. They can vent a little, but as long as they don't evade taxes, I don't care about anything else!"

"Brother, you should be concerned about the issue of salary increase. It has something to do with you!"

"Haha, even if my salary didn't increase, I still raised you and sent you to college. You don't have to worry about whether I get paid or not. I will always provide you with food and daily necessities.

You can go heat up the food. Pick out what you want to eat. Heat up the leftovers, too. Don't waste them! "

"I'll go, Xiaomin, let's go!"

"Dongfang, now that the national tax revenue is good, personal income tax has also increased. How many years will it take for the national tax revenue to get back on track? How much is the personal income tax?"

"Taxes are basically back on track. If the second generation doesn't change it, there will be no problem in ten years. As for the personal income tax, I didn't ask, but it should be quite a lot."

"That's it!"
