Chapter 194: This Thing
The scene of the wicker weaving factory is very different from that of the stone factory brick and tile factory, it is deserted, there are few people moving around in the factory, and several factories are guarded by iron generals. Only the door of the factory was open, and inside there were a few women from other villages busily weaving wicker baskets in their hands.
Although the factory is not large, it is still a little lonely and empty at a glance.
Zhao Changshu met Gu Xiaomei, who he hadn't seen for a long time, in the factory director's office.
Gu Xiaomei is still as beautiful as ever, her shoulder-length hair is not tied up, and it is scattered on her shoulders, adding a bit of youth to her, although she is already twenty-eight years old, there is no wrinkle on her fair face. The clothes are well-fitting and dignified, the body is plump but not bloated, and the former appearance can no longer be found in her body.
Gu Xiaomei's beauty is completely different from Wang Shufang's, Wang Shufang's beauty is very impactful, exuding a kind of elegance and intellectuality that does not belong to rural women from the inside out, she is like an urban beauty, not like a rural woman who works in the field all day long. Even if she wears the most earthy clothes, she can't hide this temperament on her body.
And Gu Xiaomei's beauty is a kind of beauty that is charming to the bones, which makes people unforgettable and nostalgic.
When Gu Xiaomei saw Zhao Changshu coming, she immediately welcomed him into the office, and while greeting Zhao Changlan, she poured a cup of boiled water and handed it to the coffee table next to Zhao Changlan.
Zhao Changshu looked at Gu Xiaomei, who was charming but not demonic, beautiful but not, and couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart, he never thought that since the absurd incident between himself and Gu Xiaomei, Gu Xiaomei would change her evil and return to the right, become a dignified and virtuous woman, and also become a pivotal figure in Zhao Zhuang's political arena.
"You are on duty here, what should I do with the sweet potatoes at home?" Zhao Changshu did not ask Gu Xiaomei about the weaving factory first, but asked casually.
"Zhao Datong has come back, and he has been working in the fields these days. Speaking of which, I haven't reported to Director Zhao yet, so I arranged him into the wicker factory and let him be responsible for loading. He has been busy in the field for the past few days, so he asked for leave to go home. Director Zhao won't have an opinion, right?" Gu Xiaomei said a little shyly. In front of Zhao Changlan, she has always been a little unnatural, maybe that night has become the pain of her life.
"You are the factory director, you have the final say. As long as you can improve the benefits of the wicker weaving factory, you can let anyone come. Zhao Changshu took a sip of water and continued: "But I think our wicker factory seems to be in a bad situation!"
Gu Xiaomei sighed and said, "I also know that I'm incompetent as the factory director, but I really can't help it! After Yin Laicai was arrested, the sales channel that he had contacted before was also cut off. Our products can't be marketed, and now we just get them to the farmers' market in Furong Town to sell, not to mention the price, and the sales volume is limited. In addition, the products of our factory are too simple, just to produce some agricultural baskets and manure baskets with relatively low technical content. There is no way to open the market at all. Right now, we can't even pay the wages of our workers. ”
It seems that after Gu Xiaomei became the director of this factory, she still put a lot of effort into revitalizing this factory. Unfortunately, due to the limitations of vision and social environment, a new path has not been found for the wicker weaving factory.
The problem thrown by Gu Xiaomei Zhao Changshu will not be able to solve it for a while. In fact, the village-run enterprises in Zhaozhuang not only have the problem of sales for wicker weaving factories, but also the stone factories and brick factories that seem to be thriving now.
Don't look at the stone factory and the brick and tile factory are now very prosperous, but this is all borrowed from the east wind of the development of Furong Town, if the real estate construction of Furong Town is over, the spring of the two fields will be over.
Zhao Changshu thought for a while and said, "I can't solve these things you said. In this way, I will call Zhao Bingwu and Tian Dahai, as well as the people of the two village committees, and we will have a meeting in the village office. Everyone brainstormed to see if they could find a solution. You can't just let the wicker grow half-dead, can you? At the very least, you have to pay the wages of the workers. ”
Gu Xiaomei kept nodding as she listened.
While the two of them were talking, a man in his thirties walked in, and when he saw Zhao Changshu in the office, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then immediately said with a smile on his face: "It's a spear! I haven't seen you for a long time." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to shake hands with Zhao Changlan.
"Datong, now the spear is the director, you have to call Director Zhao. Gu Xiaomei said on the side.
The man who came in was none other than Gu Xiaomei's man, Zhao Datong. In the past, Zhao Datong was often a man in the village because of Gu Xiaomei, and he couldn't manage it if he wanted to, and women could manage it for a while, but they couldn't manage it for a lifetime. What's more, Zhao Da is seven or eight years older than Gu Xiaomei, and he looks a little stumbling, and he is not so straightforward to teach his wife a lesson.
In the end, Zhao Datong was angry, left his wife and children to work in other places, and did not return home for many years. Gu Xiaomei never called him.
But a few months ago, Gu Xiaomei called him for the first time and asked him to go home. He was still a little hesitant, afraid that he would see his wife getting together with other men after returning home, and he would be upset and didn't want to go home.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, his old mother also called him and asked him to go home. The old mother told her son that the current daughter-in-law is no longer the daughter-in-law of the past, not only is she no longer messing around, but she is also unusually filial to the second elder, and if he doesn't go home, she will be sorry for Gu Xiaomei.
Zhao Datong was also tired of working outside as a single, and his parents were old, so he bought a train ticket to go home. After returning home, even he didn't believe Gu Xiaomei's changes. Gu Xiaomei not only doesn't get involved with other men anymore, but is also very considerate to him.
Looking at the changes in his daughter-in-law, Zhao Datong's heart was sweeter than eating honey. But he was also a little strange, what made Gu Xiaomei change her sex?
Later, he vaguely knew that Gu Xiaomei's changes seemed to be related to Zhao Changlan, but no one could say what Zhao Changshu did to Gu Xiaomei.
Zhao Datong was immediately full of gratitude to Zhao Changlan, as for what Zhao Changshu had done to Gu Xiaomei, he didn't care at all! The green hat on his head was too many to count, even if Zhao Changshu really did something to Gu Xiaomei? If it weren't for Zhao Changlan, Gu Xiaomei wouldn't have changed at all!
In any case, Zhao Datong is still full of love for his beautiful wife in the depths of his heart, and even in the depths of his heart, he has a feeling that he is not worthy of his wife.
In the office, after listening to his wife's words, Zhao Datong immediately realized the mistake in his words, and hurriedly said honestly: "Oh, yes, yes, it's all my fault, I should be called Director Zhao, I should be called Director Zhao, Director Zhao, don't be weird." ”
Zhao Changshu grabbed Zhao Datong's hand and shook it twice, and said: "What did Brother Datong say, what director is not the director, just call it a spear." ”
Zhao Changshu looked at Zhao Datong, who was honest and even a little wooden in front of him, and felt a trace of guilt in his heart. Alas, I got someone's wife by myself, and it's a bit ridiculous to think about it.
"Datong, you clean up the dishes and chopsticks and go home. I'm going to go to the village department, Director Zhao has just come back, and I want to have a meeting with you. Gu Xiaomei handed the dishes and chopsticks on the table to the man and said. It seems that her lunch was sent by Zhao Datong.
"Okay, okay, I'll leave now, and you and Director Zhao continue to talk about things. Zhao Datong took the dishes and chopsticks and was about to leave.
"I'll go back to the village with Brother Datong, you can arrange the work in the factory and go to the village. Zhao Changshu hurriedly said on the side. He was afraid that Zhao Datong would be suspicious when he saw him and Gu Xiaomei in the same room. Ridiculous mistakes can no longer be made.
Zhao Changshu and Zhao Datong left the wicker weaving factory together. On the way, the two of them chatted about the recent weather and this year's harvest.
When he was about to enter the village, Zhao Datong stopped, turned around, and solemnly said to Zhao Changshu: "Director Zhao, thank you for letting Gu Xiaomei change her ways. If it weren't for you, I don't know how I'd spend the rest of my life. ”
Zhao Datong said, Zhao Changshu can't find a crack in the ground to get in! My God, this thing has been done, and other people's wives have to come back and say thank you, how can this make me embarrassed!
But Zhao Changshu said that he would not tell Zhao Datong about the absurd incident between him and Gu Xiaomei, he paused for a moment, and immediately said, "Brother Datong, what are you talking about." Xiaomei's sister-in-law is actually not bad in nature, but she has just embarked on a crooked path. I felt a little guilty that the shot was too heavy, and I made Xiaomei's sister-in-law lie in bed for several days. ”
"At that time, your sister-in-law had to be beaten hard! I made up my mind several times to do it, but I never had the heart to do it, and I thank you for helping me teach her a lesson. Zhao Datong said seriously.
Now, Zhao Changshu doesn't know what to say, if Zhao Datong knows what he used to teach Gu Xiaomei, I don't know what Zhao Datong thinks!
"Forget it, let's not talk about this, I am also happy to see the changes in Xiaomei's sister-in-law. You go home first, I'll go to the village. ”
Zhao Changshu really didn't dare to talk to Zhao Datong anymore, so he shook his shot and walked quickly in the direction of the village.
Zhao Datong looked at the back of Zhao Changlan, shook his head gently, and went home. There's still a lot of work waiting for him in the field. He also wants to open it now, no matter what Gu Xiaomei has done to be sorry for him before, it is now a thing of the past, as long as she doesn't have messy scandals with the men in the village, he will live well with Gu Xiaomei. They already have a son, and the second elder is also alive, and their home is not only complete but also happy.
When Zhao Changshu arrived at the village department, the accountant Xu Dalei was on duty. Seeing that Zhao Changshu had entered the village, Xu Dalei hurriedly greeted him, handed Zhao Changshu a bumper harvest, and said: "I heard that you are back, I was going to look for you, and I heard that you went to several factories and knew that you were coming to the village, and I was waiting." Are all the things in Yanjing taken care of?"
"It's okay for the time being, Brother Da Lei, you can show me the financial statements of a few village-run enterprises last month. Zhao Changshu said while lighting a cigarette for Xu Dalei.
Xu Dalei saw that Zhao Changshu was about to light a cigarette for himself, so he quickly took out his lighter and said, "I have fire, I have fire." As he spoke, he lit a cigarette in his mouth. Zhao Changshu had no choice but to light his own cigarette.
After the two walked into the office, Xu Dalei put the financial statements in front of Zhao Changshu and let Zhao Changshu look at them.
