Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 22 Steel Factory He Laowu
Being busy, time passes very quickly.

When He Yuanchao basically passed the screening of the personnel in the security department, it was time to get off work.

Riding a bicycle, we came to the security duty room at the entrance of the factory.

As soon as the car was parked, the sharp-eyed Li Jiefang came out to greet him.

"Hey, section chief, why are you here? Just say hello if you need anything." As he said this, he took out a cigarette and handed one over.

He Yuanchao was not polite, took the cigarette, took a puff, and said jokingly: "Come here and see if you are lazy."

Looking at He Yuanchao with a mocking look on his face, Li Jiefang couldn't help but said casually: "How dare we not be serious when you, the chief of the department, are here."

Just as the two of them were standing at the door of the security room, smoking cigarettes and chatting away, workers in the factory had begun to rush towards the door from the factory one after another.

At the beginning, there were only a few people riding bicycles passing by the factory gate. After about three to five minutes, He Yuanchao saw a huge crowd, coming from far and near, and accompanying the crowd, there were also lunch boxes colliding. Together, the sounds of people talking and fighting with each other.The momentum was like thousands of troops.

While He Yuan was looking at the crowd, some older girls, younger wives, and old ladies in the crowd were also peeking at him with flushed faces.

During this period, through the propaganda of the gossip aunts in the factory, He Yuanchao has become the diamond king of the steel factory. Not only is he tall, he is still a cadre, and he earns a lot of wages. The most important thing is that he is alone. After getting married, there are no constraints from parents-in-law. This is simply the most desirable candidate for women to marry!

The young wives who got married would inevitably take selfies of their thighs secretly, blaming He Yuanchao for showing up too late and missing such a beautiful girl like themselves.

The unmarried girl glanced at He Yuanchao from left to right, wishing to eat He Yuanchao alive with her eyes.

Unexpectedly, He Yuanchao has become the dark horse prince among the unmarried girls in the steel factory.After the employees were almost gone, they gave Li Jiefang a few words, got on their bicycles and hurried home.

He Yuanchao drove all the way and arrived home in less than half an hour.As soon as I parked the car, I saw Li Xuewen's wife coming out of the house next door.

Seeing He Yuanchao who had just returned, Li Xuewen's wife smiled and said, "Hey, Section Chief He is off work."

"Sister-in-law, don't call me that, it's too harsh. You can call me Xiao He or He Yuanchao." He Yuanchao said as he locked the car.

Li Xuewen's wife, who wanted to visit her, didn't want to talk much.After telling He Yuanchao about Shazhu's arrival in the afternoon, he went to his neighbor's house.

After He Yuanchao heard this, he opened the door and entered the house. He saw a cast iron stove that had been installed under the wall near the west.

The bright tinplate stove tube passes through the middle wall of the house and is connected to the chimney of the small kitchen on the south side.

Don't tell me, Shazhu is quite upright in his work.He Yuanchao came to the stove, fiddled with it twice, and nodded with satisfaction.

After Mo Shen'er came to the small kitchen again, looking at the pots and pans that had been arranged, He Yuanchao also began to think about inviting the factory leaders to dinner.I just have something to do with work.Communicate with Secretary Liang.

In traditional Chinese culture, some things are more efficient at the wine table than in the office.I also took the opportunity to deepen my relationship with several leaders. After all, I will have to work under others in the future.We can't just improvise, the relationship must be cultivated in advance to be reliable.

When He Yuanchao returned to the house from the kitchen, he took off his shirt and put it on the stool. He also sat at the table and drank water.

The bored He Yuanchao was drinking water and thinking about what he could do at home to pass the time.

He sat at the table blankly, thinking for a long time, but he didn't expect anything at home to pass the time.

These days, although the electricity bill is charged based on the number of light bulbs.But once it gets dark, many people stop doing anything and go to bed early.

If you have a wife, you can do some activities before going to bed. Even if it's not easy, the two of you can still chat.

But for veteran bachelor He Yuanchao, night is a kind of torture.Sighing, he took out the cigarette, lit it with a match, and while smoking, he muttered in a low voice: "Brother, what he smokes is not cigarettes, but loneliness."

After smoking a cigarette, He Yuanchao, who originally wanted to boil water to wash clothes, sighed. Forget it, let's wash it with cold water. It saves a little bit, and it also happens to use cold water to calm down the irritable mood in his heart.

Think of this.He Yuanchao picked up the enamel basin, went to the faucet outside to fill the water, returned to the house, and began to wash the clothes he had worn in the past two days.

While washing, I looked at the few clothes I had.

I have been a soldier for more than ten years, and I have accumulated several sets of military uniforms.However, when I changed my job, I relented and gave several sets of old military uniforms, as well as coats, quilts, etc. to several soldiers in the company who had difficulties at home.

As a result, I was left with three sets of green military uniforms, four white cotton shirts, two pairs of rubber shoes, one pair of leather shoes, and even no cotton coat for winter.

It's okay to say it's not cold now, but when it gets colder I'll have to buy a cotton coat.After thinking about this, He Yuanchao suddenly remembered that his work clothes had not yet been picked up by the logistics department.

It's good to have an organization. As long as you don't make any principled mistakes, the organization will clearly arrange things for you throughout your life.

This is why later generations say that the end of the universe is the system.During this period, it is even more important to not only solve issues such as wages and housing, but also take care of family members’ schooling and medical treatment.Various hidden benefits are not available to you if you are not a member of the system.

There were only a few pieces of clothing.He Yuanchao also finished washing it while he was enjoying himself, and then dried it in the yard and washed it briefly.He Yuanchao finally fell asleep on the bed calmly.
