Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the end, Liu Hui failed to withstand Liu Dong's torture and promised Liu Dong that he would find a wife for himself in the shortest possible time.  Maybe he was also thinking about the thrilling feeling of keeping the red flag at home and flying colorful flags outside.

    And Liu Dong has done a big favor to his parents.  Although Liu Hui told them face to face before that he must find a wife, who knows if Liu Hui will remember it after this time?  Anyway, after the New Year, Liu Hui will go to Jiangsu Province again. At that time, Liu Shengli¡¯s work is so busy, and his mother¡¯s burden is not light. In addition, Liu Hui does not live with them. What will happen after a year?  What it looks like, no one knows.

    Rather than discuss this topic again at that time, Liu Dong might as well get Liu Hui's attention now.  To put it in one sentence, a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a thief, and a thief is not as good as a concubine.  Every man has such an idea in his heart, it just depends on whether the idea can be seen.

    It is obvious that Liu Hui does have such capital.  He wanted to play before, but it was because he was afraid that after starting a family, he would no longer be able to play.  But now Liu Dong has given him a more tempting choice. It is obvious what Liu Hui will choose.

    In the blink of an eye, two days flew by.  New Year's Eve is here.  For ordinary families, the Spring Festival of 1989 seems to be no different.  Perhaps the biggest difference is that living materials are more abundant, and prices are getting higher and higher. Money that was originally of little use has become more important to those who work in state-owned enterprises.

    You know, in the past few years, those state-owned enterprises, especially the state-owned enterprises with good profits.  Their daily necessities are basically distributed from the factory.  It ranges from welfare room allocation to toothbrush and toothpaste.  As long as they are usable daily necessities, most people working in state-owned enterprises will have such benefits.

    ¡°Perhaps for those whose families have a larger population, the items distributed by the factory alone are far from enough to cover household expenses, and they have to go out and buy some outside to subsidize.  But for the average family of two adults and one child, the benefits provided by the factory and the general daily necessities are not enough.  As for what is missing, it may only be those big-ticket items, such as washing machines, bicycles, and televisions.  These things are the bulk of the money. As for general daily necessities, they don't cost much.

    But in the past two years, especially during the Chinese New Year in 1989, most state-owned enterprises in the country did not give out benefits as usual. What used to be rice and pork were now replaced by things that looked fun but actually had little value, such as fruits.  Cans, medals and stuff like that.

    There are two reasons for this change. One is that state-owned enterprises are not having an easy life now. Except for those state-owned enterprises that are already monopolistic and whose benefits are still enviable, those state-owned enterprises that want to follow the market are not doing well now.  So the benefits that were originally lavish are now only a little comfort.

    These are still those factories that can still survive. For example, some small factories cannot pay wages, let alone benefits. Even during the Chinese New Year, factory directors and other people have not yet received their own wages in full, which is even worse.  Forget about the employees below.  The most important thing is that the prices of goods that were relatively cheap before have now doubled. Not to mention the internal exchange prices of state-owned enterprises, it is not easy to get goods from factories even at a low price.

    Prices have gone up, but things are still the same old stuff. People could get benefits that cost one million, but now they may not be satisfied even if they spend three million.  Under such circumstances, except for those monopolistic state-owned enterprises that do not worry about money at all, or a small number of state-owned enterprises that still have excellent performance, which general state-owned enterprise dares to take over as much as before?

    Of course, in contrast to those self-employed people who were looked down upon in the past, most people now live a better life than in a factory. Although it cannot be said that they are rich and wealthy, in terms of buying things, generally in a factory  employees are really not as good as those upstarts they look down upon.  As a result, the self-employed people who used to be beaten up by everyone are now even looked down upon by people in the factory and say in a sour tone: "Isn't it just self-employed? Grandpa, I still look down on him!"

    Of course, small citizens will worry about daily necessities, but big families are also worried now.  Especially those families with roots in the capital have become cautious recently.  This does not matter the faction level. In Sijiu City, the Spring Festival of 1989 was far less lively than in previous years.  To sum it up in one sentence, it is that the storm is about to come, and who knows what will happen next?

    And the Liu family can also be counted among such a big family.  So this year, although the Liu family held the Spring Festival as usual, it was much more low-key. Except for a limited number of people who had to come, the old man declined all other people.  If in previous years the Liu familyThe bustle here at the gate makes it difficult for people to see what is the foundation of the Liu family, but this year, it is clear at a glance.  There is nothing that can be done about this. If you don't reach a certain level, the Liu family really won't entertain you.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the big wealthy families in the capital, let alone the Liu family, which family is not like this?  Even the old chief's side is almost the same.  The depressing atmosphere makes a lively New Year a little too dull.

    Early in the morning, the four of them, Liu Shengli and his wife, Liu Hui and Liu Dong, walked to the old man's place.  Anyway, they live in a compound, so it doesn't take long to walk.

    After arriving at the old man¡¯s side, Liu Dong discovered that except for his second uncle¡¯s side, which was earlier than his, no one else had arrived yet.

    As usual, Liu Hui, Liu Dong and the others first went to pay New Year greetings to the old man and the old lady, and then after receiving a big red envelope, they left the house and wandered around the yard.  At this time, Liu Shengli had already started chatting with his second brother.

    ¡°Second brother, is there anything new happening in the mechanical engineering department recently?¡±

    "What else can happen? It seems to be calm recently. Even places that used to be troubled have become quiet now. This atmosphere is really depressing. I don't know what the people above are thinking, sir.  It's like this, but it's not very conducive to work." Liu Dongbei said distressedly.

    Due to the sudden rise of his third brother, he directly rose to the position of provincial governor at the ministerial level.  Therefore, even though Liu Dongbei had been in the mechanical engineering department for a long time and should have been promoted, he had to avoid suspicion. Although the chief minister was already in a semi-retired state, he never retired and kept pressure on Liu Dongbei to prevent him from rising to the position of official.  ministerial level.

    This is not to say that the current head of the Mechanical Engineering Department is so greedy for power. On the contrary, he has long wanted to retire and take a good rest.  But the problem is that he can't rest even if he wants to. As a member of the Liu family, if the Liu family does not secure his position, then once he retires, the position that should belong to Liu Dongbei will not be designated.  Let Liu Dongbei occupy it, but someone will be parachuted in from the outside and press on Liu Dongbei's head.

    ¡°After all, the Liu family has been so prosperous in the past two years, even a little out of shape.  There are only three sons and one daughter in total.  As a result, the eldest of the three sons became the director of the Planning Commission, a small State Council. Not only did he occupy one of the most powerful positions at the ministerial level, he was also a serious member of the Central Committee, not an alternate.

    ¡°That¡¯s okay, after all, the boss is not too young. He has been working on the Planning Commission for so many years, so to reach this position is not that weird.  But the third child is still the governor of Jiangsu Province, and he is also at the ministerial level. He is also a member of the Central Committee rather than an alternate.

    Although Jiangsu Province is not very prominent among provinces in the country.  It can only be regarded as the middle, not as good as the top, but more than the bottom. In addition, with the current reform and opening up, Jiangsu Province is close to the sea, and the economic development is relatively outstanding. It is obvious that it will have great political achievements.  It will make many people jealous. If it is just like this, forget it. The key lies in the current provincial party secretary of Jiangsu Province. Anyone with a discerning eye will know that after he has served for the last two years, he will truly retire, no matter whether it is complete by then.  Retire as a minister, or go to the National People's Congress to take care of your retirement.

    Anyway, it won¡¯t last long in that position.  As long as Liu Shengli can sit in the position of provincial governor for two years without any accidents, the transition from governor to provincial party committee secretary will definitely be completed smoothly.  Even though they are all ministerial-level positions, they seem to be similar to provincial governors and provincial party committee secretaries.

    But in fact, such a leap is definitely a big step for the order of domestic officialdom.  After all, no matter what, the secretary of the provincial party committee is the first-in-command, and the provincial governor can only be the second-in-command.  It is not like twenty years later when there would be a relatively powerful provincial governor who would have more authority in the province than the provincial party committee secretary.  Nowadays, anyone who really wants to do this is definitely seeking death. No matter above or below, such heresy will not be allowed to appear.

    In the position of provincial governor, he can be transferred to become the governor of other provinces.  But if you reach the position of Provincial Party Committee Secretary, then unless there are special circumstances, you will never be the Provincial Party Committee Secretary in this province and only the provincial governor in another place.  The special situation is that the municipal party committee secretaries of those municipalities no longer sit in that position, and it will expire in a few months. Although the provincial party committee secretary was only the mayor of the municipality in the past, it will not be long before he becomes the municipal party committee secretary. The political situation  committee member.  It is under such special circumstances that it is possible for the provincial party committee secretary to become the mayor.

    ¡° Only by becoming the secretary of the provincial party committee can one truly have the qualifications to be a frontier official in the country.  Obviously, Liu Shengli has such hope.
