Age: Passionate youth, starting from graduation assignment

Chapter 244 I'm going to be a father again
"Roe deer skin, and wolf skin? Tsk tsk, it's so beautiful."

The female clerk in the clothing store placed the leather brought by Xu Jichang on the counter and was full of praise after looking at it.

"The wolf skin is transformed into a mattress, and the roe deer skin is transformed into a quilt. How much does it cost in total?"

Xu Jichang asked.

"Wait, let me measure it for you."

The female clerk lowered her head and opened the counter drawer, took out a measuring tape and said.

……

Not long after, the female clerk finished taking the measurements: "The material is large, and it costs eight yuan in total."

"Okay, when will it be delivered?"

Xu Jichang took out the money from his pocket and handed it to the female clerk.

"I don't know, it depends on the situation."

The female clerk took the money and said without raising her head, "Just wait."

Well, this answer is not unexpected.

They don't have to worry about performance, so what can they do with such an attitude?

Xu Jichang didn't say anything, turned around, walked to the door, and got on his bicycle.

When he arrived at the unit, he saw a package placed at his place.

"Who sent this here?"

Xu Jichang pointed to the package and asked Chen Xiaoen, who was already sitting in the office.

"I put it there. There's an eiderdown quilt inside."

"The eiderdown quilt sent from home has arrived, thank you."

Chen Xiaoen was embarrassed to look Xu Jichang in the face and lowered his head slightly.

Because of this eiderdown quilt, she has become the center of gossip in the dormitory.

Every day, her roommates would hear who sent her this eiderdown quilt and whether she already had a prince charming.

"Oh, that's it. I have a fur blanket behind you for you."

"You can bring a baggage with you when the time comes."

what?
A mattress made of fur?
Chen Xiaoen quickly waved his hand and declined: "No, no, boss, this is too expensive."

"It's just a piece of roe deer skin. It's nothing valuable."

Xu Jichang walked to his seat and said casually as he sat down, "If it were really precious fur, like fox fur or something, I wouldn't be willing to give it a gift."

He had already seen Chen Xiaoen's inner shyness, and the more the other party acted like this, the more he would take the initiative to attack.

After all, she was an educated youth whose family was in Shanghai, and she might find a way to be transferred back one day.

There are flowers that need to be cut straight, but don't wait until there are no flowers to break branches. Hesitation will only be in vain.

Faced with Xu Jichang's attitude, Chen Xiaoen thought for a while and came up with a plan: "Then, I'll give you money."

"It's okay to talk about money. Just do more work in the future."

Xu Jichang still refused, "Take the documents in my hand and make copies."

After speaking, he placed a stack of forms on the upper left corner of the table.

Chen Xiaoen had no choice but to stand up, take the form, and take it to the factory for processing.

Xu Jichang looked at Chen Xiaoen's graceful back when he left, and his mind fluctuated for a while.

In any era, a woman like Chen Xiaoen, who is elegant, rich in content, and stunningly beautiful, has a fatal attraction for men.

With her in the office, Xu Jichang felt that his office efficiency was much higher.

Give her a roe deer skin, it's definitely worth it.

"Boss, the copy is ready. Please take a look to see if there is anything wrong with it."

After a while, Chen Xiaoen placed the copied documents on Xu Jichang's desk, "If there are any questions, I'll type them again."

"No problem."

Xu Jichang took the document, flipped through it and said, "It will be nice to add a printer to our office sometime."

"I'm afraid it won't be easy?"

Chen Xiaoen hesitated.

Printers are rare items these days, and they are not cheap. There are only a few factory-run ones in the whole factory.Is it possible for the factory to equip them with a separate unit?
"We have contributed so much sales to the factory, so what's the point of getting a printer?"

Xu Jichang said carelessly, "I will report to the superiors later."

……

A few days later, a brand new printer was delivered to Xu Jichang's office.

The manufacturers selling printers these days are not responsible for installation and debugging, so you have to do everything yourself.

Fortunately, Xu Jichang had installed it several times before traveling through time. After studying the old-fashioned printer and figuring out its approximate wiring situation, he directed Chen Xiaoen to install it.

Soon, the news that he owned a printer spread like wildfire in the factory.

The first person who came to see the situation was Tong Guoliang. He was envious after seeing Xu Jichang's printer: "My dear, among the heads of various departments in our factory, I haven't heard of anyone who can get a printer."

"Jichang, you have become the first in the world."

"No, Director, you are serious. This printer is for our distribution office, not for me personally."

"I can just move it to your office now."

Xu Jichang said in a conventional way, which gave Tong Guoliang enough face.

Tong Guoliang understood that Xu Jichang was being polite, and immediately waved his hand: "No need. You have a lot of documents here. If I really need them, just let someone come to your place to print them."

"Yeah, whenever you want to use it, just send someone over."

Xu Jichang laughed.

After Tong Guoliang left, some cadres and workers who were familiar with Xu Jichang came here one after another, wanting to see his only printer.

Xu Jichang was dealing with various people, and he felt a little regretful: If he had known that he would become the first person, he would not have wanted this printer.

But let's make peace with it as it comes. Director Gao has already chopped it down and delivered the stuff, so just use it.

Xu Jichang thought to himself.

He must admit that with this printer, his work is much easier.Chen Xiaoen has saved a lot of work, as he no longer has to queue up at the factory for printing and copying.

As for Tong Guoliang's people, they only came to print a few times and didn't bother them much.

One morning, Chen Xiaoen printed the document with a printer and placed it on Xu Jichang's desk.

At this time, the office door was pushed open from the outside, and Xu Jichang entered the office carrying a package.

"Here, a roe deer leather quilt. Match it with the eiderdown quilt you have at home. It will make it even warmer."

Xu Jichang walked to her desk and put the package away.

"This……"

Chen Xiaoen was about to refuse, but when he thought about how bad it would be if someone came to print it later and saw the two of them talking about something unclear, he could only nod silently.

"Thank you……"

Chen Xiaoen agreed thoughtfully.

At this moment, what she was thinking about was how to return the generous gift from Xu Jichang.

After only a few days in the factory, Chen Xiaoen already knew that Xu Jichang's partner was Du Xiaojing.

Under such circumstances, it would be a bad idea to accept Xu Jichang's gift by myself.

"When someone asks you, just say you bought it."

Xu Jichang saw through Chen Xiaoen's thoughts and said calmly.

We are all ladies, but our bottom line is still higher than that of ordinary people.

If he wants to capture her, he will have to put in some effort.

Still, it's worth it.

After sitting at the desk for a while, Xu Jichang raised his hand and looked at his watch. Seeing that it was almost time to pay wages, he stood up and left the office door.

Speaking of which, this is the last salary payment before the end of the year.

After receiving this salary, we will be closer to the Chinese New Year.After a while, Xu Jichang returned to the office with a thick envelope in his pocket.

Seeing that Chen Xiaoen was still busy at work, he did not forget to remind him: "The salary has been paid, go and get it."

"fine."

Chen Xiaoen carefully checked the report, shook his head stubbornly and said, "Get it later, it will be mine."

"Do the work first and then talk."

Xu Jichang remained silent after hearing this, nodded and returned to his seat.

Taking work so seriously is probably a family tradition in her family.

Speaking of which, many of the older generation of overseas Chinese were born in poverty, and they relied on hard work in the early days to achieve primitive accumulation.

So if you think about it carefully, it's not surprising that Chen Xiaoen performed like this.

Xu Jichang queued up when he received his salary. When he returned to the office, it was almost noon when he got off work.

After a while, he rode his bicycle home for dinner. As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he saw Lan Qimei waiting for something inside.

"Jichang, Runsu is about to give birth."

As soon as Xu Jichang came in, Lan Qimei stepped forward to greet him and told him a big news.

"When will it be born?"

Xu Jichang asked.

"She is already in the county hospital and is expected to give birth the day after tomorrow."

Lan Qimei said.

"I'll go see her."

After hearing this, Xu Jichang said without hesitation, "It just has to have a reason."

"Ah."

Lan Qimei understood what he meant, nodded and said, "I'm going to cook."

Xu Jichang entered the room, thinking about Fang Runsu's upcoming delivery.

This is the second time that Xu Jichang is going to be a father, and the woman who gives birth to his child is also the woman he loves very much.

It's just that Fang Runsu is much younger than Gu Zhijun, and the risk of giving birth is not that great, so he doesn't worry as much as he did before little Kapok was born.

This does not mean that Xu Jichang loves Fang Runsu and their children less.On the contrary, he loves both parties equally.

This time, Xu Jichang planned to visit in the name of the department to avoid suspicion.

In order to appear more formal, Xu Jichang reported to Tong Guoliang in the afternoon and expressed his hope to visit Fang Runsu on behalf of the dealership.

Tong Guoliang agreed without saying a word, without doubting his presence.

So Xu Jichang led Chen Xiaoen and Yu Yingzi to the hospital openly, carrying two bags of fruits and some supplements.

The size of the county hospital is far smaller than that of the provincial people's hospital, with only two rows of brick buildings. Many of the people who come to see the doctor are members of communes from all over the country.

There are only a few small trees sparsely planted around the entire hospital. It is said that the big trees were cut down to make steel.

Xu Jichang, Chen Xiaoen, and Yu Yingzi entered the hospital gate together, asked a nurse, and found Fang Runsu's delivery room.

In the delivery room, Fang Runsu was lying on the bed with a big belly. Next to her, the nanny Lan Qimei hired for Xu Jichang was taking care of her.

She seemed to be in good condition, her face was rosy, and she was talking to the nanny.

"Runsu, we see you are here."

Xu Jichang greeted her after entering the door.

Fang Runsu immediately turned his face away, surprise appearing in his eyes: "Hello...leader."

Since Wei Shulin's death, Fang Runsu, a member of the Wei family, has become much less interested in Fang Runsu. She was originally prepared to give birth to a child alone.

Unexpectedly, Xu Jichang actually came to see her in person.

This made Fang Runsu very moved.

"Lie down well."

When Xu Jichang wanted to get up, he quickly held down the quilt and said, "Did the doctor say anything about your current situation?"

"The doctor said I'm in good condition and my delivery should go smoothly this time."

Fang Runsu replied happily, "You don't have to worry about me."

"You are the first one in our family to give birth to a child, which is of special significance."

At this time, Yu Yingzi interrupted from the side.

She still didn't know that the child in Fang Runsu's belly was Xu Jichang's.If she had known, she would never have said that.

Chen Xiaoen was also confused: "Hello, Comrade Runsu, I am Chen Xiaoen, who is new to the office."

"Just give birth to the child in peace. We will visit you often."

"No, no, it's too cold for you. I'm afraid I'll freeze you."

Fang Runsu shook his head slightly, feeling many kinds of feelings in his heart.

At this moment, Fang Runsu truly felt the warmth from his colleagues.

Of course, most of her thoughts were still on Xu Jichang.

Don't look at yourself again next time. Once you arouse suspicion, your future will be uncertain and it's not worth it.

This is what Fang Runsu feels about Xu Jichang right now, but she has no chance to say it out loud.

At this time, Xu Jichang took over the conversation: "How can you be so delicate? I heard that your due date is later, right?"

"Yeah, the doctor said it's a girl."

Fang Runsu wanted to tell Xu Jichang as much information as possible while maintaining a normal appearance.

When she said this, she felt a little uneasy, fearing that Xu Jichang would be unhappy because he favored sons over daughters.

As a result, Xu Jichang immediately dispelled her doubts: "Hello, my daughter, I am your caring little cotton-padded jacket."

"After you have a child, you will no longer be afraid of being alone."

This was Xu Jichang's true words. He never thought there was anything wrong with having a girl.

Chen Xiaoen and Yu Yingzi also echoed, and Fang Runsu was very happy after hearing this.

She asked the nanny to peel a pear for each of the three of them to eat, but Xu Jichang quickly waved his hand: "No, we are here to see you, not to cause trouble for you."

"You should take good care of yourself here. If anything happens, just ask the nanny to come to the factory and report it to me."

"I'll solve the problem for you."

Fang Runsu was naturally grateful.

The two sides talked for a long time before parting.

On the way back to the factory, Yu Yingzi was still thinking about the scene she just visited, and couldn't help but sigh: "Hey... Sister Runsu is the same, her parents-in-law and husband are all gone."

"Looking at the birth of a child, there is no family around me..."

Chen Xiaoen looked much calmer and didn't say anything, but still nodded in approval.

"So, we need to make her feel like she is the head of the company, and we have to take good care of her."

Xu Jichang seized the opportunity to express his position and said, "We can apply for some benefits from the factory for her."

"That's right. She deserves special care in a situation like hers."

Yu Yingzi immediately expressed her position, "It's too hard to be alone."

"Boss, please tell me her situation, and I will write an application to the factory for her."

At this time, Chen Xiaoen, who had been silent, expressed his position.

"Well, I'll tell you when I get back."

Xu Jichang nodded.

In fact, no one wants to see Fang Runsu receive meticulous care more than Xu Jichang.

Due to his status, Xu Jichang himself could not do some things after all.

It’s not like the provincial capital is as high as the sky as the emperor is far away.In the small society in the county town, there are many pairs of eyes staring at it.

Therefore, caring for Fang Runsu in the name of his unit was almost his only choice.
