Chapter 9 Unexpected News

 As the deputy chief of the purchasing department, it’s almost noon and he must go to the canteen to try some food. This is also his job.

Zhang Chengxin had someone prepare a new lunch box and chopsticks for him and took him to the Second Dining Hall. This Northeastern man was really enthusiastic.

"This is the canteen belonging to the No. 3 Factory. The chef is He Yuzhu, who takes over from me. His craftsmanship is pretty good. He also handles the small canteen for the leaders to receive guests, but his temper is not good." Zhang Chengxin introduced it to Xiao Yuan.

"Minister Zhang, I know this person. He lives in the same compound as me and we met last night." Xiao Yuan smiled.

"Really? I remembered. You bought the house yourself in response to the call, right? The street also notified us to help coordinate the move. The two best cooks in our Red Star Factory are more eccentric than the other, and so is Nan Yi from the machine repair branch.

What a thorn." Zhang Chengxin said depressedly, they are all his subordinates.

Xiao Yuan's hand shook and he almost threw the lunch box out. What's going on? Two episodes at a time? People who are both iron rice and steel are also here? Liang Ladi and Doctor Ding?

"Do we have a machine repair branch? Is it nearby? I want to go there. I want to modify the motorcycle tricycle. The carriage is too small. If two big wild boars are pulled, it won't be able to fit in." Xiao Yuan asked for an excuse.

Zhang Chengxin.

"That's not far. It's just outside Chaoyang Gate. Whenever you go there, just ask Liu Feng, the director of the branch factory. I'll call him in the afternoon. It seems that across the road from your compound is Nanyi's compound.

"Zhang Chengxin didn't consider anything else.

"Thank you, Minister Zhang. I'll go there in the afternoon and make changes early to start work early. I think this food is really not good!" Xiao Yuan looked at the food the workers were serving, and there was really no oil at all!

"Chief Xiao, this is good. If not, you can go to the machine repair branch in the afternoon and see what their canteen is like. It is definitely not as good as the second canteen. After all, most of the leaders eat in the second canteen." Zhang Chengxin smiled.

Okay, is this not bad?

"Boss, what do you want to eat?" Silly Zhu asked Minister Zhang.

"Two steamed buns, one piece of cabbage, and one piece of radish. I'm sure I know Section Chief Xiao from behind. I brought him here to try your handicrafts. Today they are all mine." Zhang Chengxin introduced to Silly Zhu. Don't shake the spoon to offend him.

From now on, you will have problems with the supply of raw materials.

Xiao Yuan was not polite either. The direct boss expressed his closeness and the people were really enthusiastic. You can't refuse, right? You can return the favor when you return from your hometown. A pheasant is more than enough.

I also ordered a portion, brought it to the table and sat down. The steamed buns were also made from two-faced noodles, which were relatively poor. Not many people ate them, and there were very few cornmeal pancakes. Many of them brought their own dry food, and they were all black.

Huhu’s steamed buns.

It is boiled cabbage and boiled radish strips. In addition to the taste of soy sauce and salt, there is only a very small amount of oil. Fortunately, Xiao Yuan has adapted to it and there is nothing left to eat. At this time, waste will cause public outrage.

Xiao Yuan is definitely the most handsome boy in the cafeteria today. Everyone is watching. Who is this handsome young man who is dining with Minister Zhang? The new leader?

My family is so rich. I still wear leather clothes and leather boots. I look very young. How big of a leader can I be? I wonder if I have a partner?

Some people are well-informed, and the Organization Office has posted a notice. Xiao Yuan, 28 years old, first-class meritorious official, combat hero, regular battalion-level cadre, now transferred to Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, 17th-level regular officer salary, temporary procurement

Deputy chief of the section, and concurrently deputy chief of the reserve force.

The message was whispered to each other, and soon the whole canteen knew it. Zhang Chengxin and Xiao Yuan pretended not to hear, cleaned the lunch boxes and went back.

"Such a young and handsome 17th-level cadre? Director Xie, how much is the salary of a 17th-level cadre?" Sister Hua saw the person leaving and immediately asked the director of the second workshop.

"The monthly salary of a 17th-level cadre is 98 yuan. I don't know how much the subsidy is." Director Xie answered these old ladies.

"Wow, doesn't it cost more than 100 yuan a month with the subsidy? How can I spend all this money? I can't blame myself for wearing such nice clothes." Sister Hua muttered to herself. She couldn't think of what it would be like to have a monthly salary of more than 100 yuan.

"Sister Hua, what Section Chief Xiao is wearing is a military uniform. You don't have to spend money to buy it. The leather jacket is a pilot's military uniform. The pants and leather boots underneath are the 55th school official uniform." A worker who had served in the military told Sister Hua.

"Really? Those who fly airplanes still wear leather jackets? It's so close to the sun, shouldn't it be hot?" Sister Hua, how do you understand?

"Sister Hua, it gets colder as you go up. If you haven't noticed, the snow melts from the foot of the mountain. Some of the snow on the top of the mountain only melts in summer." A Northeastern person explained.

"Let me tell you, my cousin's second aunt is from the street. I heard from her that Section Chief Xiao is an orphan. He has been in the army for more than ten years and has not been back to his hometown. He is not married yet. He spent 800 yuan to buy Silly Zhu and the others.

The last five rooms of the compound and the small courtyard." A young female worker came over and said.

"Xiaoying, do you have any ideas? It's a pity that you already have two children, so there is no chance! I have a niece who works in a supply and marketing cooperative. She is very beautiful. I feel that she is a perfect match for Section Chief Xiao." Sister Hua

Talking to myself.

"Sister Hua, forget it. I've met your niece. She is just an ordinary girl. Apart from being taller, how can she be worthy of her? Let me tell you, that niece of mine..." Someone immediately disagreed.<

/p>

Xiao Yuan didn't know that a group of tough old ladies were quarreling over his marriage. He took the address given by Zhang Chengxin and drove away.

As soon as I walked out of the door, I put the two weapons into the space. It was not suitable to expose them. There was only an empty holster on the belt.

I went to buy some things first, such as toffee, malted milk, brown sugar, milk powder, flashlight, scale, sacks and flour bags, deerskin, cloth, needlework, zippers and the like.

Entering the machine repair branch, I found Liu Feng. Zhang Chengxin had already called him to inform him that they had a good relationship and revealed some "secrets" to him. He had a strong background, so don't mess with him.

Xiao Yuan was also polite to him. This guy was not that honest. He just understood in his heart and made a few requests.

Liu Feng organized manpower to modify the tricycle according to Xiao Yuan's requirements. In addition to the main rear compartment, a bumper and a windshield were also installed on the front.

Xiao Yuan also met the widow Liang Ladi. She was still a level 4 welder with great skills. It was just one year after her husband passed away at this time. Of course, this was also the most difficult time.

With such a powerful welder, Xiao Yuan simply replaced the bulky frame. Not only was it bulky and weak, but the key points were also a little rusty.

We use the best steel, not only strong and durable, but the key is that it can reduce a lot of weight. What kind of materials were used twenty years ago? We are definitely surpassing them now.

All three tires were replaced with new tires with thick tread, and the old ones were kept as spare tires.

She also asked Liang Ladi to help her with his military boots, and looked at the all-steel soles. She is good at this, but I don’t know if she has installed it herself at this time.

Xiao Yuan's boots really need to be nailed. He also has another purpose. They can be used as weapons. After all, he has to break into the virgin forest and run around. If he kicks them with all his strength, his bones will be broken.

The other one, he guessed that Liang Ladi was having a hard time now, so he might as well give him a fish later as a way of thanking her for her help.

Xiao Yuan announced that everyone had to complete the renovation even if they worked overtime today. He would be responsible for the evening canteen work meals. The sooner the better.

At 7:30 in the afternoon, everything was finally done. Most of the materials were replaced and the motorcycle was faster and quieter.

The carriage was directly enlarged and became a three-door, 2.2 meters long, 1.4 meters wide, 1.5 meters high, 3.6 meters long, with a high backrest guardrail, and the carriage was also equipped with a covering canvas.

"Does anyone live over there in Nanluogu Lane? I'll take you back by the way to save you the trouble of walking." Xiao Yuan asked the three of them.

"I live over there, and my two apprentices live in the factory dormitory." Liang Ladi said proactively, it would be great to have a ride with her, it only takes 40 minutes to walk.

"Okay, you get in the car and sit inside. I drive very fast. What's the compound number of your home?" Xiao Yuan asked casually.

"Our place is compound No. 35. Does Chief Xiao live there?" Liang Ladi asked as she got in the car.

"I live in Courtyard No. 38, which is across the road from the three-point court. I bought the back room myself and am renovating it today." Xiao Yuan said casually.

There are other things in the car, some special steel that Xiao Yuan specially asked for, and he plans to make some knives in the space.

It took ten minutes at most to park the car at the gate of the compound. "Master Liang, I really want to thank you today. How about this, please wait for me for a while, and I will go back and get something as a reward for my spikes." Xiao Yuan told Liang.

Ladi.
