Chapter 413

How much is the account balance specifically?

Actually, Old Hu could see it at a glance, but he just liked to stretch out his fingers and count them one by one.

Regardless of the accountant, Deputy Director Huang, and Sister Qiao, Sister Hua, and Lu Qiaoge looking at him with teasing smiles.

He repeated it, counting a full three times.

In 1975, no, to be precise, it should be before the Spring Festival of 1976—the neighborhood office actually had 118,000 yuan in funds that could be freely disposed of by him, the director!

Oh my god, this is simply unimaginable, it is really too rich.

Probably from this moment on, Old Hu, including the cadres of the neighborhood office, and even the workers of the military factory, truly realized the benefits brought to the factory by the affiliated enterprises Xiang Yang Food Factory and Xiang Yang Craft Factory, as well as the tangible benefits brought to their lives.

Of course, a comprehensive perception of this change was a matter of a few days later.

For now, the neighborhood office must first distribute bonuses and benefits to workers, cadres, and the grandpas and grandmas who work hard in the neighborhood committee.

There are two more days until New Year's Day.

The neighborhood office also needs to hold a meeting first to review the work of this whole year, look forward to the prospects of next year, summarize and improve the shortcomings in the work, and then commend the excellent workers, cadres, and neighborhood committee group leaders.

Aunt Wang put on a cotton-padded jacket at home, tied a scarf, and specially applied snow cream to her face.

The old partner next to her took off his reading glasses, glanced at her, curled his lips and said, "Oh, those who don't know will think you are going on a blind date!"

"Bah! A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory!"

"I'm telling the truth, look at how many years you haven't dressed up like this, why are you so solemn today?"

The old man wiped his reading glasses while looking at Aunt Wang.

This old woman is really responsible day by day.

Organizing snow sweeping, cleaning corridors, regional hygiene, and going to promote this and that from time to time. Those who don't know will think she is a big official.

"What do you know? Today the neighborhood office is holding a general staff meeting, and we neighborhood committee group leaders are all going to attend. Qiao Ge said, and she will give us bonuses!"

As for what the other benefits are specifically, Aunt Wang doesn't know, so she didn't mention much. If only a towel was issued, her own old man would definitely look down on it, and it would be another sarcasm.

"Can she still give you a bonus? With your monthly subsidy of a few yuan, how much can you give?"

"No matter how much she gives, even if it's only one yuan, I'm happy!"

Aunt Wang was too lazy to ignore the old man, pushed the door open heroically, thumped down the stairs, and walked towards the neighborhood office with big strides.

Sharing the same mood as Aunt Wang were several other neighborhood committee group leaders, and Aunt Wu, whom Lu Qiaoge first contacted, was also among them.

The meeting place was in the conference room of the neighborhood office. On the wall was pasted red paper cut into squares, on which was written: "Struggle hard, self-reliance, all staff of 516 Military Factory welcome the New Year!"

The conference room was decorated particularly festively.

Aunt Wang had sharp eyes. As soon as she entered the conference room, she caught a glimpse of a large pile of things in the corner. They were packed in boxes and sacks.

Her eyes lit up, she pulled Aunt Wu beside her, and lowered her voice, "Look, so many things, is it the benefits issued to us?"

Aunt Wu nodded, "It is estimated, but I don't know what it is. Last year, everyone was issued a towel."

Aunt Wang said "Oh". It's not that she looks down on towels, but in fact, there are towels in the labor protection supplies, and the families in the military factory family courtyard really don't lack this.

However, now the neighborhood office occasionally organizes barter. At the market organized by Lu Qiaoge in the summer, their accumulated enamel mugs and white towels were exchanged for a lot of fresh vegetables, eggs, and dried vegetables.

Anyway, she is happy with whatever is issued.

She is happy even if it is not given.

Aunt Wang said happily, "I feel that the work in the second half of this year is particularly energetic, particularly promising, as if no matter how you do it, there is someone supporting you behind."

That is to say, your contribution is seen by someone.

Aunt Wu also felt the same, "Yes, look at the matter of Fan Xiaoyu, when encountering problems, Comrade Little Lu really dared to top it!"

"Yes, I didn't know it at that time, the Zhao Xiulian family hid it tightly. If it weren't for Li Cuizhi going to the security department to report, we would still be kept in the dark. You say if Comrade Little Lu was also like some people and mixed mud, and confusedly opened the introduction letter, letting that vicious family cheat Xiaoyu home, maybe Xiaoyu would be the mother of two children now, that day is really scary to think about."

Aunt Wu agreed deeply.

The current Fan Xiaoyu, deputy director of the craft factory, is so good, who doesn't envy?

While talking, the conference room was already full of people. Old Hu presided over the meeting, with Deputy Director Huang, Sister Qiao, and Lu Qiaoge sitting beside him.

Lu Qiaoge presided over the meeting with a clear and loud voice, and the whole audience listened with joy.

Then, she said with a smile, "Next, please invite our neighborhood office Director Hu to give a New Year's speech!"

Old Hu laughed, "Speech is speech, and speech..."

He cleared his throat, signaled everyone to be quiet and pay attention to the meeting discipline, and then began to summarize the work of this year.

In the past, such speeches always made people drowsy, but today everyone listened particularly energetically.

Unknowingly, Old Hu spoke for more than an hour, but everyone didn't get tired of listening.

It turns out that the neighborhood office has done so many things this year!

Old Hu's speech ended, and warm applause erupted in the conference room.

Many people looked at Lu Qiaoge with bright eyes.

It was this mediator Lu who organized two factories in the neighborhood office, solving the employment problems of thousands of unemployed youths and returning educated youths.

Not only that, but also developed new products and went abroad to exchange for a lot of foreign exchange. You know, these foreign exchanges are very important and can exchange for a lot of technical data and equipment for the country.

Most importantly, Old Hu announced to everyone at the end of his speech: this year's benefits are different from last year.

Old Hu pointed to the large pile of things packed in sacks and wooden boxes, and pointed outside the door. Only then did everyone notice that there was a small mountain-like thing piled outside the door. Someone with sharp eyes couldn't help but shout, "Oh! Why do I look like a pig's hind leg? Is there pork in the benefits this year?"

"Oh my god! That's too happy!"

Sister Hua assisted the finance office and had already made statistics.

Deputy Director Huang smiled and said, "Okay, don't delay everyone's time, now start, the finance office starts to distribute bonuses, Lu Qiaoge, Old Qiao, and Shao Le, you are responsible for distribution."

Whether it is workers or cadres in the neighborhood office, everyone is distributed ten catties of pork, a frozen fish, ten salted duck eggs, five bags of instant noodles, one catty of shortbread, three catties of original sunflower seeds, and ten catties of snow-white rice.

Everyone knew that the large pile of items turned out to be these good things, not the enamel mugs and white towels they guessed.

Lu Qiaoge specifically emphasized: neighborhood committee group leaders and neighborhood office staff enjoy the same treatment.

This made Aunt Wang so happy that she slapped her thigh, and she pulled Aunt Wu's hand hard, "Oh, so many things, how can we take them back? If I knew, I would have let my old man follow!"

Aunt Wu also looked straight and her heart beat fast. She didn't expect the benefits to be so generous, and she laughed until her face became a flower...
