Chapter 1033: Yongan Model Worker Selection Matchmaker Like the Sea
January 1st of each year is very important to the forestry department because the days before New Year's Day are the days for personnel changes in the forestry department.
Similarly, each forestry farm will organize activities on New Year’s Day every year to review the past year, look forward to the future year, and provide certain benefits to employees.
In addition, matters related to forestry workers include the selection of model workers.
This is of vital importance to employees. Being selected as a model worker not only means honor, nor is it just a bonus of a few dozen yuan. The key is that being selected as a model worker will have an impact on future salary increases and pensions.
This morning, the forest farm's loudspeaker broadcast a notice three times in succession, informing each department of Yong'an Forest Farm to submit a list of candidates for model workers. Each department can provide one or two places, which will then be selected and announced by the forest farm.
After receiving the notice, Li Ruhai immediately left the mailroom and went to the logistics team. He volunteered to represent the logistics team in participating in this year's model worker selection.
After all, because of his relationship with Li Dayong, Zhou Jianjun didn't have the courage to tell him to get out, so he told Li Ruhai that he was not a logistics staff member.
Li Ruhai came out of the logistics department and went to the security team.
But when he arrived at the security team, he saw that the men in the security team had already started fighting outside.
Most of these people were military veterans, and they believed in fighting for honor and winning first place. As no one could convince the other, Liu Jinyong and Hong Yuntao hit it off, and they started wrestling in the snow behind the office building.
When Li Ruhai arrived, he saw Hong Yuntao throwing a security guard on his back onto the snow, and the security guards around him cheered in unison.
Li Ruhai shrank his neck and turned away without saying a word.
At the same time, in the back kitchen of a cafeteria, Han Dachun, Han Daming and others surrounded the cafeteria director Zhang Guoqing.
"Director." Han Daming shouted, "This must be my master, right?"
"That's right!" Han Dachun echoed, "In the past few years, Youcai has been given special treatment, and he always leaves work late."
"Forget it." Zhang Guoqing waved his hand and pointed around, "He doesn't even come to work, so why are you calling him a model worker?"
"Then...didn't he have something going on these past two days?" Han Daming spoke up for Zhao Youcai and said, "My master was never like this before."
"He wasn't like this before..." Zhang Guoqing wanted to continue complaining, but heard Han Dachun say: "Director, if you submit the financial report, maybe he can really be promoted. If he is promoted, won't it be a relief for you?"
Zhang Guoqing was silent after hearing what Han Dachun said. There was only one model worker in a forest farm each year. Zhang Guoqing wanted to participate in the evaluation, but he felt that his hope was slim. But Zhao Youcai was different. He had roots, so maybe he could be selected.
"That's fine!" Zhang Guoqing gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll submit the financial report!"
"Hey!" Han Dachun clapped his hands happily and said with a smile: "That's right!"
Zhang Guoqing rolled his eyes at the Han brothers. He knew that these two were Zhao Youcai's diehard fans. No one else dared to speak, only the two of them spoke.
"Director!" Han Daming even promised on behalf of Zhao Youcai: "Wait for my master to be named a model worker, and I will definitely provide you with stone forests and other things in the future."
"Go away!" Zhang Guoqing scolded with a smile, "When he got off work the day before yesterday, he asked me for leave, gave me cigarettes, and flattered me. Then, when I said I would give him leave, his face changed immediately."
At this point, Zhang Guoqing turned to Han Dachun and said, "Dachun, you two are from the same village. Go back to his house and tell him to come to work tomorrow!"
After saying that, Zhang Guoqing took off the apron around his waist and threw it aside, saying unhappily: "I take his place every day, and he's going to be named a model worker?"
After hearing what Zhang Guoqing said, Han Dachun agreed readily.
……
"Woo..."
Near noon, the small train transporting supplies from the forest railway department stopped outside the forest farm, and Zhou Jianjun organized the logistics staff to move the supplies.
Li Ruhai came out to watch the fun, and the kid fell in love with the pair of military hooks on the feet of the Sen Railway conductor at first sight.
Li Ruhai's eyes widened instantly and he walked forward blankly.
"Ah!" Seeing Li Ruhai, Zhou Jianjun said with a smile: "Are you here to help with the work? Do you really want to be a model worker?"
The Sen Railway conductor took a look at Li Ruhai and felt that the young comrade in front of him was not very old, about the same age as his own child. But looking at what Li Ruhai was wearing, it seemed that even the Sen Railway section chief was not as good as him.
"Master!" Li Ruhai walked up to the conductor, looked down at the military shoes on his feet, and asked, "Where did you buy these shoes?"
"Ah?" The train attendant of Sen Railway was startled, and looked at Zhou Jianjun. Seeing that Zhou Jianjun also looked confused, he said, "This is issued by the railway."
"Sent?" Li Ruhai's eyes lit up and he turned to look at Zhou Jianjun.
Seeing this, Zhou Jianjun hurriedly shook his head and said, "Let's not post this."
"Ah..." Li Ruhai was a little disappointed when he heard that, and asked the conductor again: "Master, I want to buy a pair of these shoes, can I buy them?"
"Oh..." The conductor looked at Li Ruhai and thought that this guy must be an extraordinary person dressed like this, so he asked immediately: "How big are your feet?"
"My feet are size 38." Li Ruhai said, but the conductor shook his head and said, "My feet are size 41. You can't wear my shoes. How about I give you a pair of mine?"
"Oh." Li Ruhai was a little disappointed, but in line with his professional ethics, he said to the conductor: "My name is Li Ruhai, and I live in Yong'an Village at the foot of the mountain. Master, if you need wild boars, roe deer, or black bear paws, come to me..."
"Yong'an?" Before Li Ruhai could finish, the conductor glared at him and asked, "Do you live in Yong'an?"
"Ah!" Li Ruhai responded. Zhou Jianjun beside him asked the conductor curiously, "What's wrong with Yongan? My father-in-law lives in Yongan."
"Alas!" The conductor sighed and said, "My boy, they introduced him to a girl, let's stay in Yong'an."
"Oh?" Hearing the conductor's words, Li Ruhai hurriedly asked, "Whose family is this in Yongan?"
"The Zhou family in Yong'an." The conductor looked a little unnatural. It seemed that his son's relationship didn't work out.
"Ah..." Li Ruhai asked with a smile, "Zhou Dagui's family?"
When he said this, the conductor and Zhou Jianjun were both stunned. The conductor was surprised because Li Ruhai's call was too accurate. Zhou Jianjun was surprised because Zhou Dagui was a security guard at the forest farm and Zhou Jianjun knew him. But when the conductor mentioned the old Zhou family in Yong'an, Zhou Jianjun didn't even think of Zhou Dagui.
Seeing the conductor was speechless, Li Ruhai smiled and asked, "Did you not agree on the bride price?"
The conductor was even more surprised. He stared at Li Ruhai with his mouth wide open. After a long pause, he asked, "How did you know that?"
"How should I know?" Li Ruhai smiled and said, "You went to his house and took away two pounds of Changbai cake, a bag of apples, two cans of food, and two bags of milk, right?"
"Ah!" This time the conductor was so shocked that he couldn't say anything. He just opened his mouth and nodded heavily.
Li Ruhai smiled faintly and said, "The milk you brought is okay. It has a layer of milk skin on top when heated."
The conductor was stunned by Li Ruhai's words, but he didn't know the identity of this well-dressed young man in front of him, so he didn't dare to say anything.
"What's going on, Brother Yu?" Zhou Jianjun asked, "Who did your child meet in Yongan a few days ago?"
"Oh, last week." The conductor replied, "Sunday."
"Ah..." Zhou Jianjun suddenly realized that it was the day when his brother-in-law came to give gifts.
The conductor said helplessly: "They took us there. The family is okay. My wife and I both like them. And the daughter is pretty good too. My son is willing. But...but..."
The conductor said "yes" twice, then angrily said: "Four hundred yuan is not enough for the bride price! You have to ask for six hundred!"
After saying this, the conductor suddenly turned to Zhou Jianjun and asked, "Why is the bride price so high here?"
Seeing that the conductor was a little agitated, Zhou Jianjun smiled bitterly and said nothing.
What can he say?
Yongan's high bride price was not raised by others, but by his mother-in-law.
When the Zhao family and the Ma family exchanged gifts, Wang Meilan gave a thousand yuan and also gave Ma Ling a gold necklace. Zhou Jianjun was watching from the side and felt dizzy. He thought that it was a good thing that he and Zhao Chun got married early, otherwise he would not be able to marry the daughter of the old Zhao family.
Thinking of this, Zhou Jianjun glanced at Li Ruhai who was smiling beside him, and thought that their family was not innocent either.
Because after Wang Meilan, Jin Xiaomei also offered a high bride price of one thousand yuan to the Liu family.
Jin Xiaomei did this not out of competition, but because Li Baoyu would be dividing the family property as soon as he got married, and Jin Xiaomei couldn't bear to part with her eldest son, so she wanted to avoid letting Li Baoyu suffer.
Jin Xiaomei and Li Dayong agreed to give all the money that Li Baoyu earned from hunting with Zhao Jun to Li Baoyu. In addition, the Li family also wanted to hold a grand wedding for Li Baoyu, so that Jin Xiaomei would feel more comfortable and feel that she had done her best for her eldest son.
First there was Wang Meilan, and then there was Jin Xiaomei. The successive big moves by the two families aroused the restless hearts of the girls in Yong'an.
Who is worse than who these days? We are all forestry workers, and no one thinks he is worse than Ma Dafu and Liu Yunfeng. They can get a thousand yuan as a gift when they marry their daughter, so why can't I?
Therefore, Zhou Da Kui's family asked for a dowry of 600 yuan.
In this regard, the conductor's family is not unable to afford it, but feels that it is not cost-effective. After all, in their family, the highest betrothal gift is 400 yuan, why should they give 600 yuan here?
"If it doesn't work out, then forget it." Zhou Jianjun consoled with a smile. There was nothing else he could say.
"Alas!" The conductor sighed and shook his head, saying, "I said forget it, it's over, my son has fallen in love with his daughter!"
The conductor spread his hands helplessly and said, "Their mother spoils their children. I said no, but they still quarreled with me!"
After saying that, the conductor put his hands together, rubbed them together and said to Zhou Jianjun: "Jianjun, what do you think we should do? In our village, 400 yuan is the highest amount for a bride price. If I give his family 600 yuan, won't everyone in our village have to pay attention to me?"
"Master, Master, don't be angry!" At this moment, Li Ruhai said, "If your son really wants to marry my lady, I will go and talk to him for you."
"Hmm?" Hearing Li Ruhai's words, the conductor suddenly turned around and looked at Li Ruhai, and asked, "What?"
"Ah, haha." Li Ruhai laughed and said, "You mean Zhou Dagui? I call him uncle and his wife aunt. I always go to her house and we have a good relationship."
What Li Ruhai said was true. Zhou Dagui's wife was called Sun Yongrong, and she was Li Ruhai's number one fan. Her husband was a security guard, and like Li Ruhai, he had to work the night shift. But Sun Yongrong did not mark the days Zhou Dagui was on duty and the days he was off on the calendar, but she would mark Li Ruhai's work schedule.
On the day of the Zhou family's blind date, the Zhao family happened to be holding a wedding ceremony. Li Ruhai participated in the ceremony and then served wine and food. When he rushed to the Zhou family, the blind date had already ended, so he did not see the train conductor that day.
"Little brother!" The conductor looked at Li Ruhai with a changed look in his eyes and asked earnestly, "Do you think this can be done?"
"Hey! Let me talk..." Li Ruhai was about to take charge when he was pulled back by Zhou Jianjun.
"Ru Hai!" Zhou Jianjun said, "This is Secretary Yu's brother! You can't just agree to it blindly if you are not sure."
"Oh!" Upon hearing this, Li Ruhai immediately thought of the only secretary Yu in the forest farm, and that was Zhou Chunming's secretary Yu Quanjin.
Thinking of this, Li Ruhai quickly extended his hand to the conductor and said, "Excuse me, my apology."
The conductor held Li Ruhai's hand and said something: Li Ruhai was quite intimidating both in his clothes and in his conversation, and the conductor did not simply treat him as a child.
"Master Yu." Li Ruhai said with a smile, "Just entrust this matchmaking matter to me, and I will definitely get it done for you!"
"Really?" The conductor Yu Quansheng's eyes lit up. He was desperate. But there was nothing he could do. He only had one son, and his wife spoiled him. She would not cook for him these two days.
"Really!" Li Ruhai said, "What I say will be fulfilled, don't worry!"
When Li Ruhai made the promise, he exuded a strong sense of self-confidence, which made Yu Quansheng trust him from the bottom of his heart.
"Little brother, are you the matchmaker?" Yu Quansheng frowned and said, "I asked them to find a matchmaker earlier, but that woman... we couldn't get a deal."
“Haha…” Li Ruhai knew that Yu Quansheng was talking about Liu Tiezui, so he immediately smiled and waved his hand, saying, “Master Yu, this…matchmaking is a science, and not everyone can do it.”
"Ah..." Li Ruhai kept talking like this, and Yu Quansheng didn't know how to continue for a moment. He just laughed dryly and looked at Zhou Jianjun.
Zhou Jianjun saw this and knew that Yu Quansheng was embarrassed to say some things, so he told Li Ruhai on his behalf: "Ruhai, this is no small matter, you have to make sure it's done."
"Don't worry, brother-in-law!" Li Ruhai said with a smile, "I can handle this matter with ease!"
After saying this, Li Ruhai finally understood why Zhang Yuanmin always said this. The four words "holding a fist in hand" are so catchy.
"Then I'll leave this matter to you!" Yu Quansheng clasped his fists to Li Ruhai, who smiled and returned the greeting, and asked, "Master Yu, did you give the matchmaker gift to that woman?"
"No, no!" Yu Quansheng said hurriedly: "Then everything will be yours!"
After saying this, Yu Quansheng suddenly remembered something and added hurriedly: "That's it, next time I come, I'll bring you a pair of size 38 shoes!"
Hearing what he said, Li Ruhai was instantly happy!
