Chapter 1255: The Xu family’s in-laws, the Zhang family
Duan Hongxuan and Director Lin were talking, and the leaders invited by Xu Deqing at the tables next to them could all see and hear clearly.
A handsome young man who appeared out of nowhere dared to hang out with the dignified director of the steel rolling mill office and joke about it. Not only was he not angry at Director Lin's intention, but he didn't take it seriously at all.
Son, everyone began to wonder about the origin of this man named Duan Hongxuan.
Although each of them is a leader, what kind of unit is the steel rolling mill? Compared with the steel rolling mill, their own unit is inferior in level, so these leaders are even more inferior compared to Director Lin.
, let alone compared with Director Yang of the steel rolling mill. It sounds like this young man is quite familiar with Director Yang.
There are only a few brainless people who can be leaders. Although they still don't know who Duan Hongxuan is, he can joke with Director Lin, who is so insignificant. He talks about Uncle Yang, and he is from the steel rolling mill.
The head of the publicity section was still respectful in front of this young man, and it seemed that he had known about this young man for a long time.
That's all, if nothing else, at least they can't offend this young man easily. These leaders are already secretly planning to find out the details of this young man from Director Lin and Section Chief Huang later.
After a while the banquet started and they had to have a few drinks with the young man. It would be better if they could leave a good impression on the young man or even establish a relationship with him.
Xu Deqing on the side was also shocked. All he knew about Duan Hongxuan was that he lived next door to the courtyard, was an orphan of a martyr, was in college, and that his medical skills were quite good. He didn't know anything about anything else, especially about the steel rolling mill.
Know.
Now looking at this posture, Duan Hongxuan is very familiar with the senior leaders of the steel rolling mill, especially when Director Yang talks back to Uncle Yang, hiss! Xu Deqing took a breath, this Duan Hongxuan is amazing, although he doesn’t know
Why is Director Lin so polite to Duan Hongxuan? Just based on what happened just now, they must have a good relationship with Duan Hongxuan!
Duan Hongxuan didn't know what the others here thought, or he didn't care at all.
After finishing chatting with Director Lin and Section Chief Huang, Duan Hongxuan walked over with a smile: "First Master, Aunt Wu, Third Master, Uncle Liu!"
"Hongxuan is here!"
"Why did Hongxuan come just now?"
"...!"
They all saw the movement at the table next to them just now. Liu Haizhong hesitated for a moment, and then asked tentatively: "Hongxuan, do you know Director Lin very well?"
"Oh! Director Lin, I'm familiar with him. I'm very familiar with him. Every time Director Yang goes to my place, he takes Director Lin with him most of the time. He's already familiar with me after we go back and forth!"
What's wrong, Uncle Liu?"
"Uh! It's okay, it's okay, I'm just asking!"
Seeing Liu Haizhong like this, Duan Hongxuan didn't care, nodded, and then looked at Yi Zhonghai: "Master, where will you pay me today?"
"Share money? Haha, Xu Damao is not short of this little money. He specifically said that he will not collect money from members today, so don't worry about it!"
After saying that, Yi Zhonghai glanced at Duan Hongxuan thoughtfully, and then glanced at the table next door.
Duan Hongxuan understood it as soon as he took a look.
In addition to the deaf old lady, several important people in the courtyard were here at this table, including Liu Haizhong, Qin Huairu and Yu Li. None of them were seen. After asking the deaf old lady, I found out that they were watching the aunt in the room.
With the child.
There are still a few unfamiliar faces at this table, but among them is a slightly older couple, a man and a woman. Duan Hongxuan knows that these are the woman's parents, so the three and a half young men beside them are most likely their children.
, judging by his age, he must be the younger brother of Xu Damao’s wife.
Then this family is interesting. The demographic structure of the family is similar to that of the Yanbu Gui family. They both have four children, and all three are boys. Even the children are about the same age.
It's just that the youngest in the Yanbu Gui family is a daughter, so she becomes the treasure of the family. In this family, it's the other way around. The eldest is a daughter. Looking at the ages and faces of the three children on the table, you can tell that these three children are all.
Still a student.
Naturally, as the eldest child in the family and a girl, she must help shoulder the burden of supporting the family.
From this, we can also imagine that the daughter of their family must have endured a lot of hardships. The reason for enduring hardships is simply because of her three younger brothers. Who makes her the eldest sister!
Except for Xu Damao's father, everyone at the table next door knew at a glance that they must all be leaders.
Logically speaking, in a situation like this, the senior management of the quadrangle, such as the first and third uncles, should also be placed at the same table as the leaders, or divided into two tables. Each week, there will be several leaders and several senior officials from the courtyard. Good
Help greet the leader.
Looking at the situation now, Xu Deqing was greeting the leaders all by himself, without letting others intervene at all, not to mention the elders of the courtyard, and even his in-laws were arranged at another table.
These leaders were invited by him. I don’t care if you are the steward of the courtyard or not. It’s good that you can have wine and food without taking any money from you. I also want to use my banquet and my connections to let you get to know a few leaders.
There is no such thing as a good thing.
Duan Hongxuan smiled and nodded at Yi Zhonghai, already understanding in his heart.
Yi Zhonghai smiled when he saw this, and then introduced the woman's family to Duan Hongxuan.
As expected, this is the woman's family. The old couple and their three sons look at their clothes and you can tell that this family's life is not good.
The family's surname is Zhang, and the whole family relies on Zhang's job in the grain bureau to support themselves. Life is not easy, and they wish they could divide every penny into eight parts.
Although Lao Zhang works in the Grain Bureau, he is just an ordinary employee, and he is an honest person. Fortunately, the company is the Grain Bureau, and he can get some help from the Grain Bureau to buy cheaper grains from within, so he can barely support such a family.
Everyone.
Lao Zhang is not as scheming as Yan Bugui, so it is a bit hard to raise such a big family. As the eldest daughter in the family, she naturally has to help Lao Zhang with some of the responsibilities. Therefore, Lao Zhang used his connections to find his daughter after she graduated from junior high school.
As a temporary worker, with my daughter’s temporary salary of just over ten yuan, my family’s situation improved a little.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But Lao Zhang is honest and does not go around making connections, so he has been a temporary worker for so many years.
Coupled with the prevailing patriarchal mentality in this era, the daughter is the eldest daughter, so she naturally has to help the family and take care of her younger brothers. This seems normal to Lao Zhang's family.
A daughter? After all, she is raised by someone else's family. She will have to get married in the future. If the family gives birth to a child, even the child will be raised by that family. In this case, the daughter cannot be raised in vain. She must make some contribution to the family.
Bar!
What's more, with the conditions of my own family, the three sons are Lao Zhang's darlings. These are the serious Zhang family, the ones who will continue the family lineage and provide for the old couple in the future.
The daughter is also the eldest daughter, so isn’t it the eldest sister’s right to help her younger brother?
Lao Zhang knew very well how pretty his daughter was, so in line with the ideological principle that his daughter must be able to help the family when she gets married, Lao Zhang had thousands of choices for his daughter's husband's family, and he wanted to choose a good family for his daughter.
In this way, not only can the life of the family be improved through the use of the daughter, but it would also be better if the old Zhang family could reach a higher level through the relationship with the son-in-law.
It's a pity that families like theirs can't choose a good one. These days, it's more or less important to have a well-matched family, a family with good conditions, and a family with a minor official. Even if you want to find a partner for your son, you want to find someone with a similar status.
or even slightly higher.
Maybe you ordinary people want to improve their family's social status through marriage. If they can become officials, it doesn't matter how big or small they are, their knowledge of many things will be much better than ordinary people!
Therefore, for all these years, Lao Zhang wanted to climb high, but the Zhang family did not look down on them at all. Gradually, Lao Zhang also recognized the reality, which somewhat delayed his daughter.
According to people's concept of marriage in this era, unless they are going to college or for other special reasons, girls usually start looking for a matchmaker to find a partner when they are eighteen or nineteen years old. They usually get married around the age of twenty.
When you are 2 or 3 years old, you still don’t have a partner or a husband. In this era, there is no concept of late marriage, so you have to be criticized by others. Even the street office will come to find out what is the reason why your daughter is so old and still hasn’t found a partner.
Don’t marry!
Lao Zhang's daughter is called Zhang Xiaoqin. She is twenty-three this year. She is quite a big girl. In terms of age, she is slightly older than Yu Li.
For a girl of this age who is not yet married, her neighbors, neighbors, and colleagues in the factory will inevitably make irresponsible remarks. The street office also came to the door several times, so Lao Zhang was also anxious, not because of the girl, but because of this girl.
No matter how old you are, you won't be able to find a good family. Lao Zhang and his three sons are reluctant to suffer at home.
In this case, a matchmaker happened to come to the door and introduce Xu Damao's situation. It was in desperation that Lao Zhang agreed to meet with Xu Damao's family first, because Lao Zhang was still a little unwilling and wanted to rely on him.
My girl can climb a little higher.
Who would have thought that when he met Xu Damao's family, Lao Zhang realized that his family looked like an ordinary working-class family, but with two people earning a salary for three people, the salary could not be spent at all.
And whether it is Old Xu or Xiao Xu, both of them have good jobs. They are both movie projectionists. In this era, it is a proper special technical job, and it is a rare technical job. Most people can't play with movie projectors at all.
It is precisely because of the scarcity of this type of work that even though Lao Xu and Xiao Xu look like ordinary employees, they are valued by the leaders, so they often have opportunities to contact leaders of all sizes, and even sit down frequently.
Drinking at a table.
And because of the scarcity and particularity of this type of work, in addition to normal work income, other additional income is no less than salary.
In addition, due to various reasons, the old Xu family naturally acted generously when they saw the Zhang family, especially the girls of the Zhang family.
The old Zhang family, who had never seen the world before, was shocked. Just the meal that the two families had when they met, coupled with the Xu family's generous spending, made Lao Zhang feel that Xu Jiaguang only needs to relax his fingers every month.
, which is enough to greatly improve the life of their old Zhang family.
Seeing that the girl was not too young, and looking at the living conditions of the Xu family and Xu Damao himself, Lao Zhang felt that all his years of picking and choosing were not in vain!
