Chapter 1381 Chapter 1383 [Upgraded to three levels in a row]
The news that Xiang Nan entered the Propaganda Section and became a Propaganda Officer spread throughout Yangjiao Hutong within a few days.
Everyone who heard it was envious.
Generally speaking, when new employees enter a factory, they usually need to serve as apprentices for three years before they can graduate.
Xiang Nan was promoted from an apprentice to a director of the Propaganda Department in just half a year.
Not only has the salary increased a lot, but the work is also quite decent. It is no exaggeration to say that Su Meng''s work at the Children''s Palace, which she had always wanted to do, was almost done.
“The eldest son of the old Cheng family is really awesome~ He’s promising~”
“There is smoke coming out of the ancestral graves of the old Cheng family. This kid Jianjun is really good~”
“Old Cheng’s family is really shaking this time, even in our alley, they are pretty cool~”
?The neighbors were talking about it, with envy in their words.
?This also made Cheng Baoguo and Feng Aihong straighten their backs and look particularly strong when they came in.
…
In comparison, my roommate lives in the Su family, and her daughter has been idle for more than half a year, and now she has no serious job, which makes Su Jingxuan and Liu Lanzhi very depressed.
Su Meng was also depressed.
Xiang Nan became a poet, which was enough to make her upset. Now I have joined the Publicity Department. I am no longer a sweaty worker, but a clerk sitting in an office.
The good news came from the delivery room that she had been promoted. For her, it was very disturbing. She couldn''t eat for several days.
"Mengmeng, why don''t you go to the Children''s Palace? I''ll fight with your father, or you can go to the factory." Liu Lanzhi advised Su Meng.
It’s really not cool to stay at home all the time. Although with their salary, there is absolutely no problem in supporting their daughter. But gossiping among neighbors is a bit unacceptable.
"Mom, how can that be done? I want to enter the factory. I entered it last year. Why wait until now?" When Su Meng heard this, she immediately objected, "Besides, I have already boasted that I want to enter the Children''s Palace. . Now if I go into the factory, where can I put my face without them laughing at me?"
"You are just sitting at home now, and people are laughing at you." Su Jingxuan sighed, "It''s better to go to the factory. There is no distinction between high and low in revolutionary work."
"Dad, how can that be done? If I want to enter the factory now, won''t all my previous persistence be in vain?" Su Meng gritted her teeth and said, "No, I just want to enter the Children''s Palace. I don''t believe it, I''m better than Don’t go to Cheng Jianjun.”
"Your father and I can''t do anything about entering the Children''s Palace." Liu Lanzhi said, "The Cheng family is not willing to help, and you are not willing to ask Chunming, so what should we do?"
"Cheng Jianjun is a hypocrite, and he can go back on anything he promises. Han Chunming is a real villain, taking advantage of others'' danger. If you ask me to beg them, I might as well die." Su Meng said angrily, "You don''t have to worry, I''ll figure it out myself.
Cheng Jianjun graduated from junior high school and became a propaganda officer by writing poems. I graduated from high school, and I don’t believe I can’t compare to him. I also create, and I want to compare with him. "
Su Jingxuan and Liu Lanzhi looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.
But they are familiar with their daughter’s character, and no one can change what she decides.
They all had no choice but to nod, "Okay, Mengmeng, just work hard."
…
Hearing that Su Meng also wanted to write poetry and surpass herself, Xiang Nan couldn''t help but laugh.
Su Meng''s talent is not even as good as Chunming''s, and naturally she is even less talented than him.
In the play, Su Meng graduated from high school and was taught by her parents, Su Jingxuan and Liu Lanzhi, who were both college students. She only got admitted to Yanjing Normal University.
In comparison, Cheng Jianjun graduated from junior high school and read and studied by himself. In just one month, I was admitted to the same university. This shows that Su Meng''s talent is far lower than she imagined.
?Han Chunming started his business by collecting scraps. He worked step by step in a down-to-earth manner and became the CEO of a real estate company. He was stronger than Su Meng.
?Su Meng also opened a real estate company with the financial support from her uncle. But after thirteen attempts, her uncle almost went bankrupt.
So, Cai Xiaoli and Han Chunyan’s comments about her are very appropriate, but Su Meng is just superficial. He looks smart, but actually he does stupid things. She wanted to write poetry and become famous, but it was just a daydream.
…
Xiang Nan ignored Su Meng and usually worked in the factory.
In addition to writing reports, summaries, and speeches, I write my own novels in the remaining time.
"Herdsman", "Red Sorghum", "Mansion Gate", "Enter Guandong"...novels were born under his pen.
During the holidays, I went shopping in Sijiucheng with Cai Xiaoli.
Before, Xiang Nan had no money and was stressed even when visiting Dashilar. Now that I have money on hand, I naturally want to go shopping.
In Beijing in the 1970s, there were still many attractions to visit.
The Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Beihai, Summer Palace, Ming Tombs, Badaling... If you want to go to the closer places, you can ride a bicycle, and if you want to go to the farther places, you can take the bus.
?Then, in the barren mountains and ridges, with no corners and nooks and crannies, you can naturally do something shameful.
?However, Cai Xiaoli''s ideas are very traditional and she firmly opposes breaking through to the last level, so Xiang Nan can only try it briefly, which is a bit regretful.
But having said that, the more traditional Cai Xiaoli is, the better for him.
…
?Time flies by, and the first half of 1976 passed quickly.
Xiang Nan was promoted from Propaganda Officer to Deputy Chief of Propaganda Section, and his salary was also raised one level. From forty-five yuan to fifty-seven yuan.
The upgrade was completed in less than half a year, making colleagues envious.
“Brother, you are so awesome.” Chunming said in admiration.
When he entered the factory at the same time, he was still an apprentice, but Xiang Nan had been promoted to deputy section chief.
Fortunately, he has a much broader mind than Cheng Jianjun. Otherwise, if it were Cheng Jianjun, he would be so angry that he couldn''t sleep every day.
After their sons were promoted, Cheng Baoguo and Feng Aihong became even more proud.
??If it weren''t for the Heavenly Spirit Gai''er blocking it, my eyes would roll up in my head.
??The neighbors are naturally envious.
After one year in the factory, he was promoted to three levels in a row. This is really promising.
Because of this, in the second half of the year, many people came to the door one after another, wanting to find a partner for Xiang Nan.
According to the current Marriage Law, the legal age for marriage is twenty for boys and eighteen for girls. It was not until 1980 that the legal age for marriage was changed to twenty-two for boys and twenty for girls.
Xiang Nan is now twenty-one years old, which is the marriageable age. Coupled with the fact that he is so good, has a stable job, is motivated, talented, and well-known, he has naturally become a favorite in the marriage and love market.
Don’t talk about the alleys, there are people coming to matchmaking every day. Even Cheng Baoguo''s unit had people asking for news about Xiang Nan. I want to give him a red thread and build a magpie bridge.
Xiang Nan is naturally not happy.
He told his parents, "I have only been in the factory for one year, and I have achieved such results. In two years, I will be able to become section chief, director, and deputy director."
If you get married now, the conditions will definitely not be high. When the time comes, it will only hold me back. It''s better to wait for another two years, wait until my career is stronger, and then marry someone better. "
When Cheng Baoguo and Feng Aihong heard this, they both agreed with their son''s idea.
My son has unlimited potential and will definitely have a better future. In this case, why be anxious about getting married? Looking forward, there must be something better. So I didn''t rush him.
