Chapter 40 Compare

There are no secrets in the family area. That night, Zong Shao went to the hospital with Lin Wei, who had a fever, on his back, and the news spread that he also took two days off for this.

Some people are envious of this, and feel that Zong Shao values ​​friendship and is good to his daughter-in-law, and Lin Wei is blessed.

But there are also people who think that Zong Shao is making a big fuss. Isn’t it just a cold? As for sending it to the hospital with such fanfare? He also took a two-day leave for this purpose, without any prospects.

Gao Xiulian is the one who thinks Zong Shao makes a big deal out of it.

It’s just that since the last time Zhou Jianhai came to the door and Zhao Feng got angry at her, now she doesn’t dare to confront Lin Wei, Deng Xiangyun and the others, she only dares to talk to people behind their backs.

But it is always unpleasant to talk about it. As for the reason, the main reason is that Gao Xiulian’s popularity is not good.

Before Lin Wei came to join the army, although Gao Xiulian was not popular, there was always Li Qin holding her. Although Wang Fangli does not hold her in the same way as Li Qin, she will not easily disagree with her.

Since the quarrel with Lin Wei, Li Qin has not come to Gao Xiulian’s house. Wang Fangli has come a few times, but she always felt that there was sarcasm in Wang Fangli’s words, and the two had a few small arguments.

Although Wang Fangli likes to make irresponsible remarks, but she is not mean, and if she is not happy with Gao Xiulian, she will not find her much. Gao Xiulian was bored at home, so she could only find acquaintances, but the relationship was not so good, or she didn’t like her military sister-in-law so much.

Although Gao Xiulian is not very pleasant to speak, and always wants someone to hold her, the people who get together with her don’t want to find close friends, just chat together, and the requirements are not so high.

It’s impossible to hold her anyway. If she doesn’t speak well, if she wants to be scolded, she will be scolded.

And the last time Lin Wei and Gao Xiulian quarreled, these people were sitting in her yard.

The relationship wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t good either.

Therefore, when Gao Xiulian talked eloquently and said that Zong Shao’s actions were unpromising, a military sister-in-law stood up and sings against her: “If the 24-year-old deputy battalion commander is called unpromising, then I hope my family is worthless. By the way, when Deputy Head Zhao was twenty-four years old, what level did he have?”

Zhao Feng is thirty-four this year, and it has been two years since he was promoted to the deputy regiment. Among his peers, he can definitely be considered a successful career, but looking at the entire base, he is definitely not young and promising.

It is said that there are thirty-one hurdles in the military. If you can be promoted to the deputy regiment before the age of 30, you will naturally have a bright future. Don’t look at Zhao Feng is now the deputy head of the group, but before the age of transfer, he can become the head of the group, not necessarily.

On the other hand, although Zong Shao’s rank is lower, he is better than Zhao Feng if he is promoted to the deputy battalion at his age.

You must know that at Zong Shao’s age, Zhao Feng was only a deputy company.

Not to mention that Zong Shao has won the first place in the competition in the past two days. I heard that not only the leaders of their regiment, but even the leaders of the division attach great importance to him.

In this way, Gao Xiulian dared to evaluate Zong Shao as unpromising, which made people laugh.

But Gao Xiulian didn’t understand this.

In her opinion, although Zhao Feng was not as good as Zong Shao at the age of twenty-four, he is now at a higher level than Zong Shao!

Besides, although she hasn’t read many books, she still knows the saying “you’re young, but big is not always good.” It’s not necessarily a vice-captain!

As for the importance of the leader, in Gao Xiulian’s opinion, it is all false. If he acts like this, the leader will disappoint him sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Gao Xiulian said: “I’m talking about Zong Shao’s old shígG duga behavior. He is a soldier, and he asks for leave when he asks for leave. With his attitude, can their leaders be happy? That Lin Wei is also squeamish enough, no Is it just a cold, and I have to ask a man to take a leave of absence to come back to take care of me, I don’t know anything about it.”

“What happened to the soldiers? Soldiers are also human beings. They also have families and their own lives. If his daughter-in-law is sick, he doesn’t delay his business. What’s wrong with taking two days off to take care of him?”

After the military sister-in-law asked in a row, without waiting for Gao Xiulian to answer, she turned to the other military sister-in-law and continued to ask: “You ask yourself, when you are sick, do you want your husband to stop working to take care of you, or do you just ignore it and let you fend for yourself? Saying this, if my man dares to ignore me without delaying his work, I won’t live with him!”

Although most of the military wives present here are ready to marry a soldier before they decide to marry the soldier. But that was the time when there was no other way, like this time when Lin Wei was ill, Zong Shao didn’t have to go to the battlefield, and he didn’t have to go on a mission.

Seeing everyone nodding, the military sister-in-law looked at Gao Xiulian again and said, “There are some people, I don’t know if they really think of themselves so low, or because of jealousy. , said this shouldn’t be that shouldn’t, but I don’t know the sourness in my words is skyrocketing!”

If it was because of Zhao Feng’s warning, Gao Xiulian would definitely have rushed to fight someone. But there is no if, in order not to be sent back to her hometown, all she can do is leave the scene.

After that time, Gao Xiulian did not go out for several days.

But when she calmed down and went to chat with those plastic friends, she found that whenever she mentioned this matter again, others would always be sarcastic, and they said that they were jealous of Lin Wei, which made her angry!

She didn’t understand, what was there for Lin Wei to be jealous of?

Compared to men, her husband is the deputy commander, Zong Shao is only the deputy commander, and she wins.

Compared with children, she has two sons and a daughter, and Lin Wei only has two sons, and she also wins.

Compared to work, although she has no work for the time being, Lin Wei’s previous work was disturbed by her, so it’s a draw! She has a job!

…

Gao Xiulian secretly spoke ill of Lin Wei to others. When she was beaten in the face many times, Lin Wei was concentrating on her body.

Strange to say, she used to be as good as a cow, and she had only a handful of illnesses from childhood to adulthood, and she didn’t do much when it rained in the spring. Now in the hot summer, he was sent to the hospital by a rain.

Although her fever subsided on the same day, her nasal congestion took nearly half a month to heal, so that the originally scheduled swimming class (taught by Teacher Zong) was postponed again and again.

Moreover, after the nasal congestion was relieved, Lin Wei always felt that her spirit was not good, and her health was much worse than before. To this end, she also went to the hospital to do a full-body examination, and the results showed that everything was fine before she was relieved.

After hearing about this incident, Liu Dan persuaded: “As the old saying goes, sickness comes like a mountain falling, and sickness goes like a thread. You don’t get sick once in a few years, but you can’t take good care of it. You can relax and eat delicious food. It’ll be fine in two months.”

“There is a saying in our hometown that minor illnesses cannot lead to serious illnesses. I think you have never been sick before, and this time you are sick, and you feel bad about everything.” Yang Yi said.

Zhao Li wondered: “Is this… what is the meaning of this?”

“Even if the meaning is wrong, the truth is always the same, and Weiwei didn’t do the examination? The doctors said she was fine, could it be wrong?”

Zhao Li thought that was the case, so she stopped talking.

Deng Xiangyun also said: “I’ve heard doctors say before that people who suffer from minor illnesses look poor, but in fact their immunity is better than those who don’t get sick for a long time. Many small problems in our body are resisted by immunity. ”

Maybe it was because she felt at ease after the examination, or maybe she was really sick. After continuing to raise for half a month, Lin Wei finally recovered.

After she slowed down, it was late September.

Although Yazhou Island has low latitude and the four seasons do not change significantly, after entering September, the temperature also means that the temperature has dropped a little, at least it is not so hot to sleep at night.

Just as the temperature was changing, Gao Xiulian was assigned to work in a state-run restaurant, where she was in charge of cooking.

Speaking of which, Zhao Li told Lin Wei, because although her family and Zhao’s family are separated by a small road, they are considered neighbors, but because of the previous quarrel, the two families basically stopped communicating, so she did not pay attention to Gao Xiulian’s current situation .

The reason why Zhao Li knew about this had to start with the cooperative relationship between the state-run hotel and other units.

Outside the family area are many small units. The largest number of employees is in the military district primary school, with only more than 20 people. Other units have seven or eight employees, and some units even have only one or two.

Of course, it is impossible for a small unit like this to hire a special person to cook. The cost is too high to bear. But these units are basically in the service industry, and customers may come to the door at any time. It’s okay to give them half an hour to an hour to eat, and to close the door for two hours to let them go home to cook? That’s impossible.

But the problem of staff meals must be solved. We can’t let people just work and not eat, so some units went to state-run restaurants and discussed with them to order staff meals from them.

They are all subordinate units of the army, whether they are employees or leaders, they are all old acquaintances. Besides, although there are no performance requirements for state-run hotels, the leaders of the hotels have their own pursuits. Supplying staff meals can not only generate income for the hotels, but also serve everyone better. A fool would not agree.

Therefore, the two sides successfully reached a cooperation.

Seeing that this approach was feasible, other units followed suit and asked state-run restaurants to provide lunch to their employees.

Before cooperating with various units, the front of the state-run hotel was forty or fifty square meters. The entrance was the counter, and there were only six square tables with four seats.

After the cooperation was reached, the facade of the state-owned hotel has been expanded again and again. Now there are three facades in a row, two of which are opened, and a row of dining windows has been built inside, and sixteen square tables have been added.

The main business is also divided into two parts. One is to continue to make small stir-fries, and the other is similar to the staff canteen, which serves large pots of rice. The price of meals is slightly cheaper than that of small stir-fries. It only accepts employees of cooperative units, and is not open to other customers.

But with a big pot of rice, whoever lives in the family area would like to take advantage of it to eat small fried rice, although it tastes better, it is also expensive.

So the customers here at Xiaochao are the family members of the military who came to visit relatives. They live in the hostel, have nowhere to open fire, and can’t eat a big pot of rice, so they can only choose Xiaochao.

However, such problems have followed one after another. In the past two years, soldiers have often responded to them, feeling that the practice of state-run restaurants to separate customers is very inhumane.

There are also many internal conflicts in state-run hotels.

No matter what business there is, there is a chain of contempt, and it is also in the chef business. The big restaurant looks down on the small restaurant, and the small restaurant looks down on the big pot rice.

So when the state-run restaurant wanted to do a big pot of rice, the chef was reluctant, so the leader arranged for the second-in-command to do it, and it turned out to be done.

Because the big pot rice business was good, the restaurant leader made the second master chef specializing in this area. However, he also felt that the basics of cooking were the small stir-fry, so the chef on the small stir-fry side did not withdraw, so a situation of two ends was formed.

As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. There are two chefs in a state-run hotel. Can the back kitchen be peaceful?

Of course not. One of them thinks that you are in charge of a big pot of rice. I used to dislike the side dishes for me. If you have mastered your skills, you dare to act as an uncle in front of me. What if one thinks you are good at cooking? No one wants to eat your dishes anymore, what are you proud of in front of me?

The leader of the restaurant is good at working with mud. After a few years, the conflict between the kitchen and the kitchen has become more and more serious, and even the restaurant employees have been divided into two factions. Because of the small number of people, Xiaochao is obviously at a disadvantage.

The people on the side of the big pot were not happy, because the restaurant leaders always wanted to make small stir-fries, and they always favored the people there, making them seem like they were raised by stepmothers. As the old saying goes, there is no need to worry about the few, but the problem is uneven. After a long time, it is inevitable that they will have complaints in their hearts.

Under the double squeeze of internal and external contradictions, the restaurant leaders finally couldn’t bear it anymore, and decided to restructure, remove the small stir-fries, and cook all the meals. The customers here in Daguofan are no longer limited to the employees of the cooperative unit, and they can eat if they have money and tickets.

In other words, the state-run restaurant now has only one name left, and has essentially become a base canteen.

After the restructuring, the customer base of the state-run hotel increased, and the existing staff was not enough, so two new positions were added, and the military relocation office arranged for military wives to join.

And Gao Xiulian was the state-run hotel that was arranged in this situation.

As for Zhao Li, because of the cooperative relationship between the supply and marketing agency and the state-run restaurant, she always eats lunch at the state-run restaurant. Therefore, on the first day that Gao Xiulian went to work at the state-run hotel, she saw people.

Zhao Li was very upset about this. She felt that if Gao Xiulian was not jealous and playing tricks behind her back, Lin Wei would have gone to work in the military hospital. As a result, Lin Wei hasn’t finished work yet, but Gao Xiulian has a new job, which is really annoying.

Lin Wei’s mentality is very peaceful. Originally, the Military Dependents’ Resettlement Office arranged work for the military wife. If the employer did not have special requirements, the first consideration was the length of the army.

The job of making meals at the window of a state-run hotel, one does not need to collect money to settle accounts, and two does not need to write down the name of the dish, it is purely manual work, and of course there are no special requirements when recruiting.

Although Gao Xiulian has a bad reputation, she did not make any major mistakes, her resume was clean, her composition was clean, she joined the army early, and it was normal for her to have work on her head.

Of course, what’s more important is that Gao Xiulian’s job looks decent and easy, and she only needs to move her wrist every day. In fact, it’s not an easy job.

State-run restaurants now serve three meals a day, and the window does not require a lot of preparation time like the back kitchen, so employees have to work two shifts. The window is basically only busy for three hours before and after three meals, and there is no need to guard the state-run hotel at other times, so they are from 5:00 am to 8:00 am, 11:00 am to 2:00 pm, From five in the evening to eight in the evening.

In terms of time, it seems to be quite free. There are rest times in the morning and afternoon, but you must know that going to work at five in the morning means getting up more than four in the morning, leaving get off work at eight in the evening, and going home may be busy until eleven or twelve, and you can sleep at night. Six hours is a lot.

And in order to avoid improving work efficiency, there is no seat at the window for lunch. Think about a person who sleeps less at night, stands for a few hours during three meals, and then goes back to sleep, can she have the mind to do anything else? ?

Therefore, from Lin Wei’s point of view, the job of making meals at the window seems to be free, with only nine hours of working time. In fact, once you do this job, you will no longer have your own personal time.

This is indeed the case.

Although Lin Wei and Gao Xiulian didn’t communicate much, they lived next to each other after all, and they didn’t have jobs before, so they had free time, and they would inevitably encounter each other when they came in and out. And every time they met, Gao Xiulian couldn’t help but stare at her and say two sour words.

Although Lin Wei has never lost in the battle of mouths, she is not a cockfighting person. Too many times will inevitably spoil her mood.

However, since Gao Xiulian went to work in a state-run hotel, Lin Wei has never met her again. There is no need to quarrel anymore when going out, Lin Wei just feels refreshed and the sky is much brighter.

Therefore, Lin Wei felt that it would be best for Gao Xiulian to continue her job for a long time.
