Chapter 2 Breaking through the cognitive situation
8848.86, this is the number on the passbook. After recalling the past, Ma Qing had to admit the rationality of this number. In fact, he was born in a small place in his previous life, which limited his knowledge and the pattern was too small.
In fact, it’s not the fault of its predecessor. When the TV series Siheyuan first came out, didn’t everyone think it was a story about ordinary people? In fact, they were totally wrong.
The story of Siheyuan actually tells the story of the rise and fall of the top middle class after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is the love and hatred of the upper one percent of China's people. For the real story of ordinary people, you have to see the love of mountains and seas.
In the capital of a country, next to the Forbidden City, Nanluogu Lane, and the Family Courtyard of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, do you know the content of these buffs?
Looking at the memory of the original person, although Ma Qing is young, he still has a bright mind. In addition, he is the only child in the family. Ma Qing's parents did not avoid this little clever guy when they were chatting, so Ma Qing is very familiar with his family's situation. .
Let’s not talk about anything else, especially the Hongxing Machinery Factory (later renamed the Hongxing Steel Rolling Factory). This is why the courtyard is said to be the top middle class. Ma Qing’s father is a fifth-level fitter, earning 77 yuan per month. My mother is a fourth-level fitter and earns 66 yuan a month. It’s terrifying to have two jobs.
I'm sure many people say that this salary is wrong, but they really didn't watch the drama carefully. Why would a business leader go to the home of the leader of the Ministry of Industry to report on his work? Why can Factory Director Yang, a division-level cadre, go to the home of a minister-level cadre? As for flattering, generally speaking, he is not qualified for this. There is only one reason. The Red Star Rolling Mill is an enterprise directly under the ministry.
Sorry, in BJ and Shanghai, wages in enterprises directly under the ministry are higher than the national standard, up to 30% higher. The highest salary for level eight workers in enterprises directly under the ministry is 133 yuan, which is much higher than the national standard of 99 yuan.
When Lao Ma's family was at its peak, three workers were paid. After his grandfather passed away, the couple's wages steadily increased, reaching 143 yuan per month since last year, but they were not less than 160 yuan per month, because There are also allowances, subsidies, seniority wages and overtime pay.
This is what state-owned enterprises are like, whether you are convinced or not. In fact, if you think about it, the original person's parents are really not very thrifty people. After so many years, plus the high interest rates for so many years, the total is only 8848.86, which is really not much. They have raised the original person to be fat and fat, at least with the current body. It’s not a loss.
Ma Qing stared at the number 8848.86 for a while, and sighed: Although it is not Tianhu's opening, it is still nine 10,000 words. The future is promising. At this time, the water was also boiling. Ma Qing quickly packed up, put the things back to their original places, washed up, and waited for people from the factory to come to the door.
Just after nine o'clock in the morning, a voice came from outside the hospital: Is Ma Qing here? Ma Qing hurriedly agreed and opened the courtyard door. Six people came in at once. One of them was the union worker who had helped take care of him these days, Director Zhang Aunt Zhang.
After greetings, Aunt Zhang introduced everyone to Ma Qing, including the union chairman of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill named Li, the deputy director of the factory named Hong, Section Chief Zhao of the Labor and Management Department, and the Civil Affairs Bureau of the Subdistrict Office named Liao. Deputy section chief, a clerk in the household registration section of a police station.
Let people into the room. There are people sitting on the bed, stools, and chairs. They can just sit down, and one more person will have to stand. After everyone sat down, and poured tea, Deputy Director Hong spoke first. , first expressed his deep sorrow for the death of Ma Qing's parents on the job, affirmed the contributions of Ma Qing's parents during his lifetime, etc. Anyway, it was just that kind of cliché, but the level was still there, and the feelings he spoke were sincere and sincere but not excessive. After Deputy Factory Director Hong finished speaking, he motioned to the labor and management section chief. The labor and management section chief immediately took out a briefcase from his bag and said, "Classmate Ma Qing, your parents passed away on the job. According to national policies and factory regulations, you are now I would like to give you an explanation regarding your pension. Your father’s pension is 12 months’ standard salary, totaling 924 yuan. Your mother’s pension is 12 months’ standard salary, totaling 792 yuan. The funeral expenses for both of them are Each is 200 yuan, totaling 400 yuan.
However, because you were too young, the factory union handled the funeral arrangements, which cost a total of 223 yuan including your parents’ cemetery expenses, a total of 119 yuan in gift money, and a total of 200 yuan in union consolation money. The total income minus expenses totaled 2,012 yuan. .
Here is 2012 yuan in cash, a detailed list of expenses and a list of gifts. If you have no objection, please sign to receive it. In addition, you will receive a monthly pension in the future, which is 20% of your father’s salary, which is 15.4 yuan. Because of a A person can only receive one pension at a time. Considering that your mother is indeed an employee of our factory and died on the job, we will give you an additional 5 yuan subsidy every month, totaling 20.4 yuan, until you reach the age of 18 or work. "
Ma Qing took the list. Although he knew there was nothing wrong with it, in order not to leave the impression of frivolity and immaturity on these leaders, Ma Qing had to pretend to read it carefully for several minutes, and then said softly After saying "No problem", he immediately signed his name, and then watched the union chairman, deputy factory director, labor section chief and deputy section chief of the civil affairs section all sign their names.
Chairman Li of the labor union looked into Ma Qing's eyes and said slowly word by word: "Son, your parents are good workers of New China. They gave their lives for the construction of the country. The party and the country will never forget it. .
First of all, if your parents died due to a work-related injury, you can inherit their work station. Of course, one person cannot have two work stations. You can transfer it to someone you trust to help you with your future life. In addition, this job You can't keep your seat forever. You have to grasp the time well. We can only keep it for half a year at most.
We all saw your behavior when your parents passed away. You are a good, affectionate and filial child. You are 15 years old this year. You are not too old or too young. I would say you are an adult. You are not old enough. Let’s just say you are young. You are about to graduate from junior high school. As the workers’ natal family, the labor union is responsible for your growth. "
Chairman Li took a sip of tea and continued: "After your parents passed away, I informed you immediately, but you suddenly fell into a coma, and you were a little confused when you woke up, and we did not record any other relatives of your family here. , so the trade union took care of your parents’ funeral arrangements.
Now I just want to ask you what you think, whether you have relatives you can rely on, whether you need a guardian, and how you will use the pension paid to you today. Tell us all, and we will consider it comprehensively. "
Ma Qing knew that the highlight was coming, and what he said next would directly affect his life trajectory in the next few years. He couldn't help but said slowly: "First of all, thank you leaders, uncles and aunts for coming to my house for ten days. A few days ago, the death of my parents was a big blow to me, and my mind was like a ball of mush. But after these few days, I can only accept this fact.
My parents have left me, but I will continue to live, and live well, so that I will not let down the spirit of my parents in heaven. Here I would like to thank all the leaders, especially Aunt Zhang, for their help, thank you."
