Chapter 167: Planting Trees on Labor Day
In a blink of an eye, the eventful month of April came to an end and ushered in May Day.
When it was time to go to work, Lao Fang led Dabao's mother to the office.
Xu Dong stood up and said with concern: "Old Fang, looking at your red face, your body should be fine, right?" β
"Good morning." The old man approached Xu Dong and thanked him softly: "Thanks to your fish and milk powder, by the way, there are shrimp." β
"It's not free, aren't you spending money!" Xu Dong said modestly.
Lao Fang waved his hand, "What is that money, even if it is multiplied tenfold, you can't buy so many good things, I have written down this kindness of yours." β
"Isn't it outside!"
"Okay, I've brought Dabao's mother, let's see the arrangement!"
"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Xu Dong nodded.
Lao Fang went to work, Xu Dong took Dabao's mother to Section Chief Li's office, and he needed to talk to Section Chief Li about this.
"Uncle Li, this is the Xiao Xiao I told you, she came to work today. Xiao Xiao, this is our section chief, and our entire security department is under Uncle Li's control. β
Dabao's mother hurriedly greeted: "Hello section chief! β
"Xiao Xiao, you don't have to be nervous, just go back and work hard, don't worry about other things." Section Chief Li casually comforted.
"Thanks, I see."
After leaving the section chief's office, Xu Dong asked Dabao's mother to fill out a resume, and the other party's work would be attached to the security company.
The only difference is that the security company doesn't take a cut.
"Brother Xu, I've filled it in."
"Well, the bank card number must be filled in correctly, your salary, the security company will call you on time every month, you don't have to worry about this."
"Thank you."
received the security uniform, and Dabao's mother immediately changed into it.
"Okay, I'll take you to the place where you work, we don't have anything to do at the north gate, and most of the time is very leisurely." Xu Dong introduced with a smile.
Dabao's mother nodded and agreed: "Uncle Fang told me, in fact, as long as I can commute to work on time, I am very satisfied." β
"I told the people below, if you don't arrange for you to work the night shift, it's definitely no problem to take care of Dabao at ordinary times."
"Thank you, Brother Xu."
"Just call me boss, that's what everyone calls me."
The dispatch workers are generally younger, and Xiang Xin took the lead, and now his subordinates call him "boss", and he is used to hearing it.
"Hmm!"
When he came to the north gate, when Xu Dong was away, the north gate was generally in charge of the big head, and since Xiao Wang's death, the big head followed him for the longest time.
The big head is lucky, after Xiao Wang died, he survived Chen Yang again, and now at the north gate, in addition to Xu Dong and Xiang Xin, he can be regarded as the third-in-command.
"Boss, you're here."
Datou was about to take someone on patrol when he saw Captain Xu coming, and hurriedly ran over to say hello.
"Well, I brought a new employee over, this is Xiao Xiao, she is older than you, you can call her Sister Xiao in the future!"
"Hello Sister Xiao!"
"Xiao Xiao, this is Xiao He, you can also call him Big Head." Xu Dong introduced.
"Hello, Kowa."
"Okay, big head, you go on patrol, and by the way, bring Xiao Xiao with you and let her feel the working atmosphere."
"Yes, Boss."
β¦β¦
Back in the office, Xu Dong was not idle, today is May Day, although the company did not arrange a holiday, but still prepared a celebration.
At about ten o'clock, the big leader will take some employees to participate in the tree planting activity on Nanmen Street.
Since the outbreak of the drought, Yanjing's green vegetation has suffered an unprecedented blow.
In just over a year, most of the city's green belts, including major parks, have withered and died, with less than one percent surviving.
In addition, the original green vegetation consumes a lot of water and is no longer suitable for the current environment.
This time, the higher-level departments finally made up their minds and prepared to replace them with a batch of cold-resistant, heat-tolerant, drought-tolerant new greening plants.
The reason why trees are planted in this time period is mainly due to the fact that the temperature difference between day and night in May is relatively small, which is conducive to improving the survival rate of seedlings.
Just after nine o'clock, Xu Dong commanded more than a dozen dispatched workers to transport shovels, buckets, a pile of drink bottles, and dozens of bundles of small saplings used for tree planting to Nanmen Street.
The small sapling was just sent by the garden department in the morning, one meter high, with thick fingers, the specific variety is unknown, and Xu Dong didn't ask.
Beverage bottles are specially bought from recycling stations, and they are all big bottles of one or two liters, which have been in short supply lately, and the company has spent a lot of money.
Not surprisingly, in desert areas, the use of beverage bottles to plant trees, with a high survival rate, is nothing new.
At ten o'clock, surrounded by everyone, Mr. Liao finally appeared, and almost two-thirds of the company's employees participated in this tree planting activity.
According to the principle of simplicity.
Mr. Liao stood in the middle of the crowd and briefly said a ten-minute speech, probably about protecting the environment and everyone's responsibility, which is a clichΓ©.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
After the applause, the tree planting activity officially began.
is a little different from Xu Dong's imagination, the leaders work very hard, and Mr. Liao dug the first pit in ten minutes, with a diameter of 30 centimeters and a depth of 50 centimeters.
It took another five minutes for the first sapling to be planted, and the scene was thunderous.
Xu Dong touched Section Chief Li with his arm: "Uncle Li, I don't remember here, why are they working so hard, Mr. Liao?" β
"Who says there are no journalists? Look at the heavens. β
Xu Dong looked up and saw that there was a free camera, no wonder he always heard the buzzing sound.
"What's the situation, why didn't you see the camera?"
"The above joint Xiaopo Station has organized a live broadcast of tree planting for the whole people, and netizens all over the country are watching it!" Section Chief Li helped the little sapling.
Xu Dong filled in the soil unhurriedly, "I see, when will this live broadcast end?" β
"Live broadcast all day, wait until you get off work, don't think about being lazy today." Section Chief Li teased.
"It's okay, the cameras must be on the leader's side, let's be lazy, no one will pay attention."
"You, you, everyone is trying their best, just think about being lazy, work hard, maybe you can be on the news at night." Section Chief Li shook his head.
"I'm going, it's so big?" Xu Dong was surprised and said, if you can last time you have the evening news, it will be a.
"What do you think, the Zhongshan Park in our north, you know?"
Xu Dong nodded, Zhongshan Park is less than two kilometers away from the company, of course he knows.
Section Chief Li said in a low voice: "The big leader is planting trees there, and the reporters have gone over there. β
"Uncle Li, did you say that the big leader would come to us for condolences later." Xu Dong suddenly thought that the distance between the two places was not far anyway.
"Don't think about it, I haven't received a notice here, and the big leader shouldn't come over." Section Chief Li shook his head and said.
