Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 8 Heroes
Amid the laughter of the two, the car slowly drove into the steel mill.

As soon as the car stopped and the two hadn't gotten out, Wu Honggang came over with a group of people.

"You two great heroes, you have worked hard on the journey. Let's go eat first to welcome you."

As soon as the side door of the truck bed opened, Wu Honggang greeted the two of them warmly.

"What great hero? I was just lucky. Director, here is the purchase list. Can you see if there is anything missing?"

Zhou Weimin jumped out of the car and handed the small notebook to Wu Honggang.

"Don't worry, don't worry, Lao Hong, I'll leave this to you. I'll bring the finance department to the warehouse later."

Wu Honggang took the notebook and put it into his pocket, thinking to himself that Zhou Weimin was a sensible man, not a fool.

After walking a distance with the two of them, he suddenly said, "Wei Min, take a good rest after you go back today. Winter is almost here, and your next mission will not be easy. Do you have confidence?"

"Director, I would be lying if I said I was confident. You know the current situation. But as long as you give the order, I will complete the task even if it costs my life."

Zhou Weimin was slightly behind Wu Honggang, and his words of loyalty came out fluently.

This made Hong Sihai, who had been silent on the side, look sideways. He thought that his brother had finally come to his senses. He could actually hear such words from his brother. It was really a blessing in disguise.

"Hahaha, it's not that serious. The current environment is not good, and it is understandable that we cannot complete the mission. We can't ignore our own safety for the sake of the mission."

Wu Honggang was very satisfied with this answer. After giving a half-guarantee, he slowed down his pace and turned to Hong Sihai and said, "Sihai, although our Logistics Department and your Propaganda Department are two different departments, we have always interacted with each other. This time when you went to the countryside to show movies, all the communes were very satisfied. Director Yang, who praised you, knows about it."

"The villagers were just too enthusiastic. I didn't do anything. How could this alarm the factory director?"

Hong Sihai was a little nervous. He didn't know what Wu Honggang meant by suddenly saying this.

Could it be that they feel that his presence has stolen the limelight from the logistics department?

"Hey, don't be nervous. I'm not a man-eating tiger. This time, our logistics department is also grateful for your help. We don't have to worry about the hospitality in the future. What I mean is, do you have any idea to take a step up?"

Wu Honggang patted Hong Sihai on the shoulder and before he could answer, he continued, "There's no rush to talk about this. Eating is more important. Deputy Director Li is here to welcome you two today."

"Deputy Director Li! Director, you really scared me. You have to remind me later, otherwise I will say something wrong."

Having said that, Zhou Weimin's face did not show any fear, but he was smiling instead.

"We are all family, so we should talk as we please. Just be careful and don't drink too much with Deputy Director Li."

Wu Honggang already had a very good impression of Zhou Weimin at this time. He thought that Zhou Weimin was capable and knew how to handle things. If he performed well, he could ask him to help him with some things in the future.

"Under orders, I will ensure that I accompany the two leaders well."

Zhou Weimin shouted in a fake manner, and seeing that they were almost at the cafeteria, he immediately slowed down and followed behind Wu Honggang.

Seeing Hong Sihai looking at him, he nodded slightly to indicate that he should agree to it later. He looked at Wu Honggang in front of him and signaled the others to go back and talk about it later.

Be it Wu Honggang or Deputy Factory Director Li Huaide, they are not as restless as they were at the beginning of the story, and they are on good terms with Factory Director Yang Shibin.

Now is the period of mass production for all the people, and everything is oriented towards production tasks as the primary goal. It is not the time for these people to jump around yet.

At this time, you can let these two people help out and move up the position. There will be no harm in that, and Director Yang will not think there is something wrong with you.

However, there are still some things that you need to pay attention to, otherwise life will be difficult in the next two years.

The three of them walked into the kitchen from the back door of the cafeteria and saw He Yuzhu leisurely drinking tea with a teacup.

He Yuzhu put down the teacup, wiped his hands on his apron, and said with a smile: "Wow, our hero is back. Director Wu, I'm going to start now." "Master He, thank you for your hard work. We'll go up first."

Wu Honggang smiled and nodded, then went upstairs first.

When Zhou Weimin passed by, He Yuzhu stopped him and whispered, "Weimin, you are really good. You can even ask the deputy director to treat you to a meal when you go to the countryside to purchase goods."

"I'm just lucky, Master He. I'm looking forward to tasting your cooking skills. I'll go up first. I can't let the leader wait for me."

As Zhou Weimin was about to go upstairs, he was pulled back by He Yuzhu again.

"Let's go back together in the evening. I have something to tell you."

"No, I have to go to Brother Sihai's house tonight. I'll come to find you when I get back to the yard. Is that okay?"

"Okay! Don't forget it."

"I can't forget it. Don't worry."

After Zhou Weimin finished speaking, he and Hong Sihai quickly went upstairs.

"Hey, the food hasn't been served yet, why are you in such a hurry?"

He Yuzhu muttered something and glared at everyone unhappily.

"What are you looking at? Start working!"

He had been waiting for Zhou Weimin to come back these past two days. Now he was back, but he came back with his leader.

That’s it. We have to wait until night again.

Just when everyone was feeling depressed, a tall and thin figure suddenly sneaked in from the back door.

He Yuzhu saw the person coming and directly inserted the kitchen knife into the chopping board, saying in a scoundrel tone: "Hey, hey, what are you doing? The kitchen is a restricted area, no one is allowed in!"

"Silly Zhu, I don't have time to argue with you today. I just want to ask you a question. Was the person Director Wu brought with him just now Zhou Weimin?"

Xu Damao stood at the door and did not go in, for fear that He Yuzhu would make trouble and beat him up.

"Why, seeing that Wei Min has done something great, you rush to flatter him."

When He Yuzhu heard that Xu Damao was also here to see Zhou Weimin, he was no longer depressed and started to tease Xu Damao happily.

"Get lost! I'm looking for Wei Min for business. Give me an answer whether he has come back or not!"

Xu Damao leaned against the door frame with his arms folded across his chest, frowning impatiently.

He heard it yesterday that this time when Hong Sihai and Zhou Weimin went to the countryside together, they were almost praised to the sky by the people in the commune.

He knew Hong Sihai. He had an okay temper, but he was not the kind of person who knew how to deal with trouble, so he would not cause such a big fuss.

Director Yang knows about this incident, and Zhou Weimin must be involved.

It’s possible that it was Zhou Weimin who caused the trouble.

Today he heard a rumor that Hong Sihai might become a deputy section chief after he comes back this time. How could he not be jealous!
