Chapter 1051 Good Things Come in Pairs

Grandma Gu pushed the reading glasses that were about to fall to the bridge of her nose, looked at Richard and said, "Hey! This little bird can really talk!"

"Quack! I'm a big bird, he's a little bird!" Richard pointed at Zhang Zian with one wing.

Zhang Zian couldn't take care of Richard for the time being, so he hurriedly called Wang Gan to bring a chair over and ask Grandma Gu to sit down, otherwise what if she didn't stand still and fell here?

Grandma Gu was still dressed in the same old way, with a gray wool vest over a thick shirt, red armbands on her arms, black trousers on her legs, and a folder under her armpit.

"Grandma Gu, what brought you here? It's not a year, I remember that the sanitation fee and management fee have been paid last month..." Zhang Zian instinctively wondered what she was doing today when he saw Grandma Gu. Those who come to urge various fees or come to collect fines.

"No, grandma, I'm here to congratulate you today." Grandma Gu happily opened the folder, took out a document and said, "Didn't grandma nominate you as a candidate for our city's May 1st model worker a while ago?" It’s also you, the kid, who has always been interviewed on TV recently, and won the Berlin Film Award with your dog, which has brought glory to the country, so, this time you have been selected successfully! Here, the file They're all down!"

Zhang Zian was taken aback for a moment, and it took a few seconds before he remembered that Grandma Gu had indeed mentioned this matter before, but she didn't expect to be selected, and it always felt a little weird.

"Grandma Gu, are you right? Didn't you almost report me as a March 8 red flag bearer last time?" He confirmed doubtfully, worried that Grandma Gu would be confused. If the red flag bearer comes to the stage to receive the award, then it will be a big embarrassment...

"Cough! You kid, what are you talking about? Grandma, I'm not an idiot!" Grandma Gu complained, "If you don't believe me, take a look yourself, the documents are here."

Zhang Zian took the document and looked at it. After searching for a long time, he finally found his name on it—because there were so many people on the list, there might not be two or three hundred numbers. Fortunately, they were arranged according to the strokes of the surnames, otherwise it would be really difficult. Find.

"So many model workers?"

Although I am sure that I am very happy to be elected, but I am a little disappointed that if these two or three hundred people are all model workers, then model workers are not very valuable...

Grandma Gu explained: "Little Anzi, you don't understand. The city model workers are evaluated once every three years, not every year. The names you see are those who have made outstanding contributions to the economic and social development and reform and innovation of Binhai City in the past three years. Contributed workers, farmers, scientific and educational personnel, managers, government staff and other people from all walks of life."

Oh, it's a three-year evaluation, so it's about the same...

Zhang Zian finally understood that he was classified as "people from other social classes", but it was true, he definitely did not belong to the previous types of people.

"After the selection list came out, I wanted to tell you, but this list will be announced after a week, and no one will raise any objections before it will be officially elected. Grandma, I am afraid that you will be happy in vain, so I will come as soon as today's announcement is over. I informed you." Grandma Gu added.

"Then... what kind of... treatment does this... city model worker get?" Zhang Zian wanted to ask but asked shyly.

Grandma Gu slapped her thigh, "Are you asking if you have any money? I'm here to give you money!"

Hearing the words, Zhang Zian's spirits lifted, he was as excited as if he had been pumped with chicken blood, sitting at home behind closed doors, and the money came from the sky, is there anything happier than this?

"Master, today you have to treat your guests to a big meal!" Wang Qian and Li Kun also joined in the fun and shouted, saying that today must be a big meal, and it can't be foreign fast food.

"Don't worry! We will definitely treat you!" Zhang Zian patted his chest and assured, "You choose the place!"

Grandma Gu took out her wallet from her trouser pocket, took out four banknotes and handed them to Zhang Zian, one of 50 and three of 10, "Here, the subsidy for city model workers is 80 yuan per month, and this is for this month. "

Zhang Zian: "..."

He stared at the banknotes,

As if they didn't know each other.

Grandma Gu shook the bills and motioned for him to take them, "It's not much money, but grandma, I didn't withhold it privately—that's how the national standard is set, the national model worker is subsidized 150 per month, and the provincial model worker is subsidized every month. The monthly subsidy is 100, and the municipal level is 80, and this part of the income is tax-free.”

That's true, 80 yuan can't meet the tax standard!

Wang Qian and Li Kun stuck out their tongues, thinking that today's big meal might only be old godmother with mustard...

Zhang Zian doesn't lack the 80 yuan, but he always feels too awkward. It's been 8012, and the subsidy for model workers should keep pace with the times, right?

What can 80 yuan a month do in this era? Is it enough to buy 4 catties of raw beef?

Anyone who can become a model worker, even if it’s just a city model worker, probably doesn’t need the 80 yuan per month. It’s better not to pay the money at all, and it’s better to treat it as a pure honor...

Maybe in the remote areas of the west, 80 yuan is still a bit useful, but for the eastern coastal cities, thieves may not be able to see it.

Zhang Zian thought for a while, and decided to be a favor, pushed the money back, and said, "Grandma Gu, I decided to donate the money to our street neighborhood committee. When it's hot, I'll buy some ice cream for the neighborhood committee staff. It's cold." Buying a pack of tea leaves and drinking it is a little bit of my kindness."

Grandma Gu stared at him through the reading glasses, "Okay, then Grandma will thank you on behalf of all the staff of the street neighborhood committee."

As she spoke, she put the 80 yuan back into her wallet.

Not only Zhang Zian, but even the shop assistants who were watching were a little disappointed, not because of Grandma Gu, but because they felt that some things really needed to be changed.

Zhang Zian thought that Grandma Gu had finished talking, but she didn't seem to have any intention of leaving immediately, so she calmly pulled out another document from the folder.

"Actually, being elected as a city model worker is just the first thing. The second thing is actually a bigger good thing." She smiled mysteriously.

Zhang Zian and the shop assistants no longer expected anything from the so-called "good things".

He forced a smile and asked politely, "What's the matter?"

"Because of your recent series of outstanding performances, the city has decided to add you as a member of the CPPCC after the joint recommendation of the neighborhood committee, the district government and the Municipal Public Security Bureau." Granny Gu said solemnly, with a restrained smile.

After listening, Zhang Zian and the shop assistants didn't react for a while.

Grandma Gu handed him the document, and he took it mechanically.

"Little Anzi, you are promising. Being elected as a member of the CPPCC means that you have the power and responsibility to participate in and discuss state affairs." Grandma Gu stood up and patted him on the shoulder earnestly. "You must seize this opportunity well. , for the well-being of the common people.”
