Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 48 Listening
after an hour.

Qin Huairu completed all the procedures accompanied by Xu Damao.

Just as the two were heading towards a workshop, they met Zhou Weimin who was about to go upstairs.

Zhou Weimin was stunned at first, then he smiled and asked, "Brother Damao, Sister-in-law Jia, what are you doing?"

Xu Damao explained with a smile, and then asked curiously, "Today is Sister Qin's first day at work. She has just finished the formalities and is now going to report to the first workshop. Wei Min, why are you in the factory today? I heard that your purchasing department has been very busy recently and has been busy all day long."

"Yes, the New Year is coming soon, and there are a lot of things to purchase. It's like this every year, and we're used to it. I just want to take a look and see if there are any new purchase tasks. By the way, I'll go to your publicity department and see Brother Sihai."

Zhou Weimin really went to the commune to purchase a lot of things these days. Otherwise, if he took things out without going out, people would soon find out that something was wrong, so he had to pretend.

"Hey, Weimin, you're so unlucky. Deputy Section Chief Hong went to the countryside to show movies yesterday. He probably won't be back for two days. So the job of showing movies tonight has fallen on me."

Xu Damao was quite proud when talking about this matter. You know, there are quite a few projectionists in the Propaganda Department.

The fact that he was allowed to show movies to the workers in the factory showed that his leadership recognized his projection skills.

Zhou Weimin praised, then looked at Qin Huairu and said with a smile: "Great, Brother Damao, the movie has been shown in the factory. I won't waste your time. Sister-in-law Qin is waiting anxiously. Let's go back to the courtyard and talk later."

"Okay, when you are free, I will treat you to a couple of drinks at a restaurant."

I don’t know if it’s because Qin Huairu was present, but Xu Damao spoke in an especially heroic manner, as if he was courting a peacock.

"I guess we'll have to wait until the factory has a holiday. Then we can get together again. Bye."

Zhou Weimin smiled helplessly and turned to walk upstairs.

He didn't expect Qin Huairu to come to work before the New Year, and thought she would wait until after the New Year.

But it became clear after a little thought. The factory would give a lot of things to the workers during the Chinese New Year. Qin Huairu was probably attracted by those New Year goods.

Zhou Weimin didn't think much about the combination of Xu Damao and Qin Huairu. After going upstairs, he went straight to the office of the director of the logistics department.

After knocking on the door and hearing Wu Honggang's voice, Zhou Weimin rubbed his face and walked in with a smile.

"Wei Min, why did you remember to come to my place today?"

As soon as Wu Hong saw that it was Zhou Weimin, he immediately started teasing him.

He hadn't seen this guy for a long time. If there weren't things being put into the warehouse every now and then, he would have thought that the guy was gone.

"Director, what are you talking about? I know you're busy lately, so I won't bother you if I come to see you more often."

Zhou Weimin sat down beside Wu Honggang, refilled his tea and poured himself a cup, and whispered, "Director, I'll put the 20 kilograms of pork and fat in the old place in the canteen's small warehouse."

"Okay, I was just worried, Weimin, you came just in time."

Wu Honggang was overjoyed when he heard that there was 20 kilograms of pork. Pork is hard currency these days, and it is New Year's Day, so it is really not easy to get it. He didn't expect that Zhou Weimin could get him 20 kilograms at once.

It turned out that I was right about him before. He is a capable man.

He couldn't help but value Zhou Weimin even more. He was a treasure who would bring him surprises from time to time.

After thinking for a while, Wu Honggang patted Zhou Weimin on the shoulder, stood up and walked to the desk, took out a neatly arranged stack of banknotes from the drawer, and then took some industrial coupons from another drawer.

"Wei Min, here are the money for buying meat, and 20 industrial coupons. You will be 20 years old by the end of the Chinese New Year, so it's time to consider getting married."

Zhou Weimin naturally took the money and put it in his pocket, and said helplessly: "Director, let's talk about this after the New Year. The guards are not stable yet, and I really don't want to do it." The money must be collected. Failure to collect it will make Wu Honggang dissatisfied.

After all, if you accept it, you are doing the job; if you don't accept it, it's just giving a gift, and it's a big gift without asking for anything in return.

"You."

Wu Honggang shook his head and pointed at Zhou Weimin.

He turned around and walked back to his desk, took out the letter of introduction he had prepared long ago and handed it to Zhou Weimin.

"We have already discussed this with the school and the technical department. You can rest assured now, right?"

"Director, that's not what I meant..."

Zhou Weimin was interrupted by Wu Honggang halfway through his words.

"Okay, follow me and work hard, you won't suffer any loss."

"Then I thank you, Director. From now on, your business will be my business. I promise not to hold you back."

Zhou Weimin's face was full of smiles, and he even drank a sip of tea.

"Look at what you have accomplished. You have no integrity."

Wu Honggang glanced at Zhou Weimin and laughed unconsciously after he finished speaking.

……

At this time, Zhou Weibing, who was in the deaf old lady's room, didn't know that his work had been done.

The one with a smile on his face was talking to the deaf old lady and Lou Xiao'e.

The deaf old lady asked kindly, "Guard, where are you assigned now that you have graduated?"

Guard Zhou shook his head: "It hasn't been decided yet. We won't know until after the New Year."

Lou Xiao'e patted the deaf old lady's hand and said carelessly, "Old lady, don't worry about this. Think about what to buy for the New Year. Wei Bing, Wei Hong, and Yu Shui are back these days, so they can help you buy it."

"Well, that's the truth. In previous years, it was Xiao Yi who accompanied me to buy things. Now that you are all grown up, there are more people who can help me, an old lady."

The deaf old lady smiled at Lou Xiao'e, then turned to Zhou Weibing and said, "Weibing, your brother has been having some issues with your uncle recently, so you should try to persuade your brother at home. Your uncle has been helping your family a lot since your parents passed away. You all live in the same courtyard, and only when you get along well can your life be prosperous."

"Madam, I really don't know about this, and my brother never told me about it. Please tell me how Master Yi helped our family, so that I can go and persuade my brother."

Guard Zhou looked at the deaf old lady, as if listening attentively.

Although his eldest brother never told him why he had a conflict with Yi Zhonghai, he naturally had his own reasons. As for what the deaf old lady said, he really didn't believe it.

If Yi Zhonghai had really helped their family when they were in the most difficult times, not only would the eldest brother say it, but even people in the yard would talk about it.

"What? Guard, what did you say, old lady? I didn't hear you."

The deaf old lady pretended to be deaf at this time. How could she say what help Yi Zhonghai had given her? She just said that.
