Dictation: Ma Zheng, 60 years old
My cousin retired at the end of December 2023 at the age of 60, and he retired 4 months later than me because I was 4 months older than him. My cousin should have received his pension on January 15, 2024. I really wanted to know how much his pension was, but I didn't dare ask.
After lunch today, I finally made up my mind to ask my cousin for clarification, so that I would not be suffering for any reason. So, I called his cell phone and asked him how much his pension was. When he said the specific data of the pension, I was silent for a moment, and then exclaimed: Cousin, we were both drivers back then, and I was miserable by my own stinky temper in this life!
My name is Ma Zheng and I am 60 years and 5 months old. I have a cousin named Ma Song, who is four months younger than me. Thirty years ago, my cousin and I worked in a mine owned by a state-owned enterprise, and we worked as car drivers in the same mine office.
Although we are both car drivers, our positions are different: I am the full-time driver of the mine leader, Pan, the deputy mine manager, while my cousin is the general manager of the office.
The identities of our two brothers are even more different, I am the second generation of mines, my parents are mine workers, and I am a child of the mine. It's just that my grades in school are not good, and I barely entered the mining technical school after graduating from junior high school.
I studied driving and maintenance in a technical school for 3 years. When I was about to graduate from technical school, at the age of 20, I actively responded to the requirements of the motherland's conscription and participated in the essay physical examination that year. I successfully passed the medical examination and was called into the army to become an honorable soldier.
In the army for three years, I worked as a car soldier, that is, I drove a military vehicle in the army. Since I studied car driving and maintenance in technical school, and I was willing to study hard, my car driving skills and maintenance skills were soon affirmed and valued by the leaders. In particular, I have won honors in many competitions and have been praised many times.
When I retired from the army and returned to the mine, the mine office and the mine fleet were vying for me to be the driver. At that time, I was indeed a popular figure, not only because I was a retired soldier and had excellent car driving and maintenance skills, but also because my image was mighty, with a height of 175cm and a well-proportioned figure, which was indeed conspicuous.
Eventually, I went to work in the office as a full-time driver for the mine leader, Pan, the deputy mine manager, driving a Beijing jeep.
Pan deputy mine manager, 30 years old, graduated from university, dignified, young and promising, he was promoted from a workshop director to deputy mine manager at the age of 28.
On my first day on the job, Director Lin of the office came to talk to me. Director Lin is in his 40s and feels like a particularly shrewd person. Director Lin actually trained me first, and I will never forget Director Lin's training for me:
Director Lin told me that it was Deputy Mine Manager Pan who asked me to be his driver. Director Lin said that the leader's full-time driver, equivalent to the leader's personal bodyguard and secretary, and the leader on a business trip, should serve the leader wholeheartedly; around the leader, many times he must be inferior and accept the leader's bad temper; he must also keep his mouth shut, because the driver will know about many business secrets of the unit, even including some secret things, intentionally or unintentionally, and the driver must keep a clear eye at all times and must not open his mouth; the companion is like a tiger, and if he is around the leader, he will be easily punished if he does not handle things properly......
I was deeply impressed by Director Lin's incisive insights, so I secretly made up my mind to be a good driver for Deputy Mine Manager Pan, to serve him as much as possible, and never to do anything detrimental to him.
A few months later, Director Lin came to talk to me, and Director Lin said that Deputy Mine Manager Pan was still satisfied with me. Director Lin said that because I drove for Deputy Mine Manager Pan for several months and traveled long distances outside the province several times, I drove safely and could be self-disciplined when I went out, and I did not brag to my colleagues and friends about anything related to work. Director Lin hopes that I will make persistent efforts to do a good job and reassure the leaders.
This time, Director Lin talked to me, and I realized that in fact, Director Lin was supervising my words and deeds everywhere. Fortunately, I really managed to keep my mouth shut. That time I was on a business trip in the next province, and at dinner that night, the relevant personnel invited a beautiful woman to accompany Deputy Mine Manager Pan, and I walked away with interest......
When I came back from a business trip, three or two friends invited me to dinner, and when I was bored, I asked me to tell some private stories of leaders, but I sternly refused, and said that the leader's behavior was above board and there was no such thing as a private story.
Fortunately, I was sober and coping, otherwise it would not have turned out like this. Because, there were some drivers who lost their words after drinking, which had a bad impact on the leaders and were transferred out of the office......
A year later, the car convoy asked a driver from the grassroots workshop to be the driver of the criminal convoy. This driver turned out to be my cousin Ma Song.
My cousin Ma Song, who was originally the son of one of my father's cousins, was short, only graduated from junior high school, but he was an elf. He worked as a farmer in his rural hometown.
Because of the mine's recruitment, my father asked Ma Song to come and apply for the job shortly after I joined the army, and Ma Song successfully passed the application and became a worker in a workshop in the mine.
After Ma Songlai became a worker, he saw that there was a shortage of drivers in the workshop, so he went to learn to drive a large car at his own expense, and obtained a driver's license for a large car, and later he became a driver in the workshop.
Ma Song worked as a driver in the workshop for several years, and his driving skills continued to improve. This time, the team took a fancy to him and transferred him from the workshop to the team to drive, which was a good position.
The team and the office are not far away, and the two brothers often communicate together after work. Two years later, Director Lin transferred my cousin from the convoy to the office to drive, and we worked in the same office.
It's just that I drive for Deputy Mine Manager Pan, and my cousin Ma Song is a comprehensive driver. There are 4 deputy mine managers and 4 full-time drivers in the mine, and occasionally anyone asks for leave in an emergency, and my cousin Ma Song will take the top and temporarily drive for the leader.
Once, it was a Sunday, at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, I was resting at home, and the director of the office Lin came to me and said: You don't care that car had an accident, driving in the countryside and fell into a ditch, the car was seriously damaged, almost scrapped, but fortunately, people are fine.
Director Lin said: This is the car you are responsible for, let's simplify the handling of this accident, I have prepared the relevant materials, that is, you drive the car into the ditch, and then you can fill in the name, and this matter will pass, okay?
I said: Director Lin, today is Sunday, I am obviously at home, where I am not going, I did not drive my car out, the keys to the car, I handed over the keys to the office secretary on Friday, and now my car has an accident, you asked me to carry the black pot, what am I carrying? I can't carry it, this matter, if Deputy Mine Manager Pan knows, I will be scolded and punished.
Director Lin said: I said, this matter is settled by me, I guarantee that you will not be scolded by Deputy Mine Manager Pan, Deputy Mine Director Pan will give me face, this is the car in our office has an accident, can only be settled through this way, you are responsible for this car, you come to bear this responsibility, and do not carry any punishment on you, you can't carry this little thing?
I said: Director Lin, I am a soldier who came out of the army, I pay attention to deeds, I will not deceive, I will do whatever my deeds are, the responsibility is not mine, and I will definitely not shoulder this responsibility.
Director Lin said: Ma Zheng, you are still a soldier, obedience is the duty of a soldier, I am your direct leader, you have to obey me, I told you to shoulder the responsibility, you will bear the responsibility, why don't you have the courage at all?
I said, "Director Lin, if there are other things, I will definitely carry it, but how can I afford to drive the car into the ditch and damage the car?" I myself have come out of the three-year automobile army, so I can't drive the car into the ditch, and I can't bear the responsibility for this matter, but I can guarantee that I don't care what you arrange, and I won't just say it.
Director Lin said: Okay, Ma Zheng, you remember that this matter has nothing to do with you, so you don't want to talk to anyone about it, is it okay?
I said, "Director Lin, I am not responsible for this matter, and I promise not to cause you trouble......
The next day, I went to work, and the people in the office were saying that my car had fallen into a ditch and was close to being scrapped, and that my cousin had driven the car into the ditch. They said that it was fortunate that there was no accident in the Masong people......
When I heard these words, I understood everything. I didn't go to my cousin, and I didn't tell anyone about it.
At that time, the management of safety incidents was not so strict, and the office was hiding from the world by doing so. I don't know who the real perpetrators are, and I don't need to go into details......
After this accident, I didn't have a car to drive. The team was in dire need of a driver, so I was transferred from the office to the team as a driver. I set up a buslet bus in the fleet to transport employees to and from work.
My cousin Ma Song is still driving in the office, but the car he drives is temporarily allocated to Deputy Mine Manager Pan. Soon, a new off-road vehicle was bought in the mine, and as a special car for Deputy Mine Manager Pan, my cousin became Deputy Mine Manager Pan's personal driver.
I can't figure it out, my cousin graduated from junior high school in culture, and he is short, he doesn't have the ability of a bodyguard, my cousin is stronger than me, he is more flexible than me, and his mouth is smoother than me.
I thought that the new car that Deputy Mine Manager Pan bought would transfer me to continue driving the new car, but it turned out to be otherwise. A year after Ma Song became a full-time driver, Deputy Mine Director Pan became the mine manager, and Director Lin became the assistant to the mine manager, and he also served as the director of the office.
I drove a bus in the convoy and vaccinated workers to work, and the work was easy and not tiring, but the income was not very high. I saw three or two truck drivers in the convoy, driving behind their backs to help private people pull goods to make money, I was very unaccustomed to it, so I secretly paid attention to eliminate these three or two black sheep.
Finally, on a dark and windy night, I caught a young driver in the convoy who was helping a private person to pull goods, and I called the security department to go to the scene to verify.
The driver was removed, and I was praised by Mine Manager Pan and was rated as an advanced worker that year. The convoy was reorganized in the mine, and I was transferred to the security department to work and be responsible for the management of the gatekeepers of the whole mine.
Mr. Pan also told me to pay special attention to the guards of the convoy to avoid similar incidents.
My job has changed, I am quite satisfied with my new job, and I try my best to do it well. However, no matter how hard I tried, I was only an officer in the Security Section, and my income was very limited.
And over the years, my cousin, Ma Song, has been mixing in the mine, eating fragrant and drinking spicy food. He was the driver of Pan's mine, and he got the best house in the house allocated in the mine. In contrast, my house is in the middle of nowhere, which makes me sad to think about.
Soon, it was the mine that made personnel adjustments, and my cousin Ma Song became the deputy captain of the team and became a middle-level leader in the mine, with a monthly salary of 1.8 times that of ordinary workers. Two years later, he became the captain of the team, and his monthly salary was 2.2 times that of ordinary workers......
Later, Pan took the lead in buying land in the city to build a fund-raising house. At that time, the price of surrounding commercial housing was more than 2,000 yuan per square meter, while the price of our fund-raising housing was only more than 700 yuan per square meter.
The mine launched a sub-housing program: according to the position and seniority and model workers and other factors to score and select the house, this program is obvious, all those who are middle-level leaders, have the opportunity to buy more than 100 square meters of three-bedroom, two-hall or even four-bedroom and two-hall houses, ordinary workers can only buy 80 square meters below two bedrooms and one hall.
According to the scoring results, I bought a two-bedroom and one-living house, while my cousin Ma Song bought a 105-square-meter three-bedroom and two-living room house.
Later, Mine Chief Pan was transferred. The new leader arrived, and the cousin was still a middle-level leading cadre. Not only does he have a high salary, but his housing provident fund is also high, and the pension insurance he pays is also high, which will also determine that his retirement pension is much higher than mine......
Time flies, time flies. In August 2023, I finally retired, and my pension was only 4,300 yuan per month.
My cousin Masson will turn 60 at the end of December 2023, he is retired, he retired 4 months later than me because I am 4 months older than him.
Masson should have received his pension on January 15, 2024. I really wanted to know how much his pension was, but I didn't dare ask.
After lunch today, I finally made up my mind to ask Ma Song to understand, so that I would not be tormented all the time. So, I called his cell phone and asked him how much his pension was.
Ma Song received a call from me and replied: I have a pension of 6,100 yuan.
I listened to Ma Song's words, fell silent for a moment, and then shouted: Cousin, we were both drivers back then, and in this life I was miserable by my stinky temper and lost all my life!
