Chapter 667: Each Family’s Plan 3

Xu Fugui nodded in approval. "The food at the training base is indeed like that. I heard from Section Chief Yu of the Steel Mill Propaganda Department that because they need to conduct high-intensity training every day, there are special regulations for the supply of meals. Moreover, the food and meat supply at the Security Department training base is completely different from that at the Steel Mill. Except for a small part directly allocated from above, the rest is solved by Secretary Lin himself. According to Section Chief Yu, the food supplied to those ordinary security guards every day is definitely better than the small kitchens of the leaders in the Steel Mill canteen. Section Chief Yu was drunk that time, so he said it casually. From what he said, the training base is doing some special forces training, which is a national key project."

Li Guixiang couldn't help but widen her eyes after hearing this: "Boss, can you buy a temporary canteen worker quota from He Daqing so I can work there? Not to mention the daily meals there, even three to five catties of cheap pork a month is enough to improve your life and the children's lives. There are not many meat sellers in the pigeon market now, and the price is getting more and more expensive. Our family only has three catties and six ounces of pork a month, which is not enough."

Xu Fugui stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and shook his head helplessly: "Guixiang, I think we should just forget it."

Li Guixiang couldn't help but widen her eyes after hearing this, and said with some anger: "Boss, I know you look down on He Daqing, the cook, but now without the income from the Lou family, relying on your salary alone, our family is also living a tight life. I tell you not to lose face. Even if you bow to that guy, what's the problem? People say that a real man can bend and stretch. It's just a few more nice words. As long as I can get a temporary worker quota in the canteen of the training base of the steel rolling mill security department, what does it matter?"

Xu Fugui sighed softly, "Guixiang, don't worry. Listen to me. It's not that I can't bow my head and say a few nice words to He Daqing. How could I not understand the principle that people have to bow their heads when they are under someone else's roof? What's more, He Daqing is now a formal state cadre. With his relationship with Secretary Lin, it is estimated that in a few years, this bastard will have the hope of becoming the logistics director of the steel mill."

Waving his hand at his wife who was about to speak, Xu Fugui continued in a low voice: "He Daqing's canteen director won't be able to work for a few more years. He has to make way for his son He Yuzhu. If nothing unexpected happens, the canteen director of the Security Department Training Base will fall on the head of that stupid boy Shazhu, and he can only work in the logistics department of the steel rolling mill. Damn it, the He family father and son are considered to have embraced a thigh. It's infuriating to think about it. In the future, the He family will have two state cadres. Who in our courtyard can compare with them? By the way, what I meant by forget it just now is that as far as I know, everyone who wants to work at the Security Department Training Base must go through the political review. Don't forget that you used to be a servant in Lou Bancheng's house, and I used to be a driver for Lou Bancheng. Now Lou Bancheng has been confiscated and shot for colluding with the former leaders of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and stealing and selling state-owned special steel. If our family is subject to a political review, do you think we can pass it?"

Li Guixiang also reacted after hearing this. She sighed heavily and said unwillingly, "Boss, is it necessary for a security training base to be so formal?"

Xu Fugui took a puff of his cigarette and lowered his voice to say, "Last time, our Propaganda Section Chief Yu got drunk and mentioned that the training base was actually a cover. In fact, there is a laboratory for a national key project in the base, and Secretary Lin is the actual person in charge of this key project. Section Chief Yu also said that now the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill has a secretary and a director, but the real top leader is Secretary Lin, and now Secretary Lin is also a special adviser to the State Council, and is already a deputy ministerial-level leader. Think about it, in a place like this, even an ordinary temporary worker, does he need to be strictly examined?"

Li Guixiang sighed. She also clearly realized that such a place would never allow someone like her who had worked as a servant for a big capitalist who had been shot to work there.

In the dim light of the electric lamp, Xu Fugui saw his wife Li Guixiang's face full of disappointment, so he could only comfort her: "Guixiang, don't worry. When our Propaganda Section Chief Yu invited everyone in the section to dinner a few days ago, he mentioned that in the future our Propaganda Section will need to go to the countryside frequently to show movies to nearby communes and villages. There will be subsidies for each trip, 90 cents for a day and a night."

Li Guixiang smiled bitterly and said, "Even if you go to the countryside for ten days a month, you can only earn less than ten yuan. Alas, it is said that young boys can make their fathers poor. Damao's appetite is no less than yours now. His own rations are not enough for him to eat. Xiaofeng's rations are enough for her, but now the children are growing up, and they can't just eat coarse grains. They don't have enough nutrition."

Xu Fugui lowered his voice and said, "You don't know this. When we projectionists go to the countryside to show movies, the communes and villages below provide us with meals. In this way, the food rations I save alone are enough to make up for Damao's food ration gap. What's more important is that every time we go to the countryside to show movies, if the communes and villages below are sensible, we will show a few extra movies. If the hospitality is not good, we will not only deal with it casually, but we will not go again in the future. Therefore, the communes and villages below will prepare some local specialties for us, such as dried mushrooms, pheasants, hares, and even old hens and roosters in some places. In the past, in order to build a good relationship with the leaders, and since our family did not lack these things at all, I usually distributed them to the section chief and deputy section chief. Now that our family also needs to supplement the nutrition for the children, I will try my best to bring these things home in the future. You just need to take good care of Damao and Xiaofeng at home in the future."

Li Guixiang smiled. If she could have those local specialties, why would she have to work as a temporary worker in the canteen? However, thinking of what she had said to those old ladies intentionally or unintentionally this afternoon, she quickly told her husband one by one.

After listening to this, Xu Fugui took a deep puff of his cigarette and whispered, "From what you just said, I can't tell that you are targeting He Daqing. Don't say such things to those idiots again. Those idiots are only capable of causing trouble instead of helping others."
