The Most Inadvertent Shock
The breakfast in Begonia Yard was very simple, even a little plain.
In the morning, there was soy milk and sweet potatoes. This was Prime Minister Wu's usual breakfast.
Sixty years later, no one would believe it!
Chenli's eyes widened. She asked the staff,
"Is this what Minister Wu and Big Sister Yi have for breakfast every morning?”
The staff member explained,
" Not necessarily. Sometimes, it's cornbread. During festivals, there'll be meat buns…"
"As far as I know, Old Man Li, Minister Wu, Wang Shuai, and the others are about the same.”
Chenli thanked him profusely.
After the staff left, Chenli pursed her lips and stared at the breakfast in a daze.
Yang Jianguo smiled and said,
"Is it different from what you think?"
Chenli said without hesitation,"
"It's different!"
She smiled bitterly and said,"
"It's different from my family and the lives of the people around me.”
"Our lives are actually better than the old man and Minister Wu.”
Yang Jianguo said as he chewed on the sweet potato,
"The old man and Minister Wu have few family members, and their salaries are enough to live on. Wang Shuai is the one who is having a hard time.”
"His family has a large population. The monthly food quota is only 26 catties, which is not enough at all.”
"Then what should we do? He would grow grain and vegetables in the courtyard!”
"Other people's courtyards are full of flowers and brocade, only Wang Shuai's courtyard is filled with the fragrance of fruits and melons.”
"Not only did I solve the problem of eating, but I even have the spare energy to share with others.”
Chenli was dumbfounded.
"These…I…Why haven't I heard of them?”
Yang Jianguo smiled and asked,"
"What's there to say about these things? Isn't everyone the same?"
Chenli shook her head.
"It's different!"
"The professors in the surrounding area are all paid very well. They don't eat the mortal world and live exceptionally carefree lives.”
Yang Jianguo sneered.
"Those people are out of touch with the people."
"Naturally, you don't know the sufferings of the human world.”
When the disaster struck, the old man took the lead in reducing the salary and water, but he only asked the comrades in the organization to reduce it together. The higher the position, the more it would be reduced.
The old man took the lead in not eating meat. Minister Wu used to love eating braised pork, but after the disaster, he had not eaten it for more than a year.
It was only last night when Yang Jianguo took it out and took a small bite.
If they took the lead in cutting salaries within the red wall, the organization would naturally follow suit.
However, the old man only requested that this be the case within the organization. Outside the organization, it would be the same.
Some people would not reduce their personal expenses just because of a major disaster. They were simply from a different world from others.
Before Yang Jianguo transmigrated, he had read a novel about the cowshed.
At that time, he naively thought that the cowshed was really a shed for cows.
However, when he read it carefully, he almost exploded in anger.
Six people lived in one room, which was similar to a college student's dormitory sixty years later. In the end, people were not satisfied and jokingly called it a cowshed!
The phrase "cowshed" slandered an era!
What was even more shameful was that this scholar who regarded the Bunker Nation as a utopia was actually praised as a so-called "Master of Chinese Studies"!
Chenli was particularly shy. She was born into a scholarly family. According to Yang Jianguo, she was also a member of the " otherworldly " family.
Yang Jianguo looked at Chen Li and was slightly shocked. He smiled bitterly and said,
"Comrade Chenli, I'm not talking about you.”
Chenli nodded silently and ate the sweet potato in silence.
Sometimes, a person only needed an opportunity to grow.
Perhaps they had encountered a major setback, or perhaps their hearts had been touched.
Chenli was now greatly shocked.
This shock was not gorgeous at all, nor was there any unusual phenomenon. It was just Minister Wu's most ordinary breakfast.
Chenli could not believe it. This breakfast was inferior to the food of ordinary workers.
Who would have thought that this was Minister Wu's daily routine?!
This doctrine, that doctrine, was too far away from ordinary people, but Minister Wu's words and deeds were real.
Old Man Li, Minister Wu, Big Sister Yi, Wang Shuai, and the others could be said to be the people with the highest status in the organization, but they were really dedicated to their work, and their lives were extremely simple and poor.
Before Chenli entered the South China Sea, she had also fantasized about life there.
Beihai was a public park, and everyone could go there to play.
She was wondering if the scenery in the South Sea was more beautiful than the North Sea. Would the living conditions be better, and would the standard of living be better?
However, yesterday's experience had completely shattered these fantasies.
The scenery of the South Sea and the North Sea was not much different. If there was a difference, it would be that there were more office areas.
The food that Old Man Li, Minister Wu, and the others ate could not even compare to what they ate at home.
At least with Chenli's salary, she could eat meat a few times a week.
Big Sis Yi said that she had asked Yang Jianguo to help her with the food last night.
If it weren't for him, they wouldn't have been able to eat such good food!
Chenli felt ashamed of her previous fantasies.
She suddenly felt that what she had learned about the organization had become especially real.
After the three of them finished their breakfast, Yang Jianguo thanked the staff and got into the car that was specially arranged. He smiled at the dumbfounded Chen Li and said,
"Let's go, I'll send you home!"
Duoduo clapped her little hands happily.
"Duoduo wants to take a small car!"
Chenli was shocked.
"Jianguo, why are you in a car?”
Yang Jianguo carried Duoduo and pulled Chenli into the car.
"We're partners who will live together for the rest of our lives. There are some things I can tell you now.”
"This morning, I just changed my job and was appointed as the secretary of Old Master Li and Minister Wu. I can't tell you the exact position.”
"But what I can tell you is that my administrative salary is level seven.”
The administrative post had a seventh-grade salary, and the monthly salary was as high as 322 yuan.
Chenli suddenly covered her mouth. After a long time, she said,
"Jianguo, this is no joke!”
Yang Jianguo sighed.
"How can this be a joke? Do you think I'm qualified to use a small car?”
"By the way, sending you home was also specially approved by the old man.”
"He hates special privileges the most.”
"You don't have to think too much."
"When I'm free, I'll go visit Uncle and Auntie.”
Yang Jianguo took out the woven bag he had been carrying.
"This is a small gift I prepared for Uncle and Auntie.”
"I'm sorry, I can't accompany you today.”
Chenli waved her hand repeatedly.
"You just have to go and do your work!"
I will take good care of Duoduo."
Duo Duo giggled in Yang Jianguo's arms and said,"
"I like Aunt Chenli too."
His words made Chen Li's heart burst with joy. She quickly took Duoduo from Yang Jianguo's arms and the two women played intimately.
Yang Jianguo stopped in front of Chen Li's house. He put down the two women and waved goodbye. He went straight to the 34th VIP Department. He was going to start working!
