As soon as secretary Xiao Gao left, Xu Qing held the pen and sat on the chair in the office, suddenly frowning.

The only good thing is that with Sun Deyou and Wang Minsheng here, it can be relatively relaxed.

But the final decision-making power on the backlog of issues still lies with Xu Qing.

Xu Qing is the director of the factory. If he doesn’t say anything in the branch factory, who would dare to make the decision without authorization?

Sun Deyou, a veteran, has to ask for instructions, and the same goes for Wang Minsheng, the deputy director of the factory.

No one who can climb up the official career is a fool.

But it’s hard to say. It’s not impossible that there are one or two people who are just trying to make up the numbers.

Cao Xiaojun and Xu Qing have not seen each other much in these years, but Wu Xiuying has called him several times.

I also listened to it with my wife.

Wu Xiuying is living a good life outside. She has a new job, has escaped from Cao Xiaojun's clutches, has a complete divorce, and has rebuilt a new family outside.

Thinking of Wu Xiuying's little tiger teeth, Xu Qing couldn't help but smile.

Very impressive.

I remember the first time I brought Silly Zhu to meet Jinghong and the others, Wu Xiuying and Hui Lihua were still a group of innocent and bright little girls, lively, cheerful, chattering and talking non-stop.

When they are happy, they all lie on the iron railings with silly grins and are extremely happy.

My mood is all written on my face.

When she was angry, Wu Xiuying's little tiger teeth bared, a bit like an angry little tiger.

That look is really scary.

Xu Qing finished smoking a cigarette, sorted out his complicated thoughts, put out the cigarette, picked up the pen, and concentrated on the official business in front of him.

When he got off work in the afternoon, Xu Qing had not finished what he was doing, because during the period, he also met with the deputy director of the factory next door to discuss the cooperation between the two factories.

But this morning, Xu Qing was still thinking about taking the time to use his ability to share the industrial coupons given to him by his younger siblings and wife.

As a result, I have been busy all day, and until now, I am still too busy to take time out.

Now that he has the heavy responsibility of the Fifth Factory on his shoulders, there are thousands of people in the factory who all have to rely on him, and there is only one word in my mind, tired!

It's just that everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as you get the work in the factory in order, just like you got things at home in order, you won't have to work so hard in the future.

Before Sun Deyou got off work, he saw Xu Qing still in the office and ran over to say hello.

"Director Xu, there is no need to work so hard. We are working for the country and we should do our best. But your body is your own. You have just taken office. What should you do if you fall ill due to hard work?"

Xu Qing held the pen and said with a smile: "Director Sun is right. I will get off work when I finish my work."

Sun Deyou nodded, said, "I'll see you tomorrow," and he left.

Half an hour later, Xu Qing finished reviewing some documents and left work.

How can it be possible to finish things that have accumulated for ten years in one afternoon?

Even though it was handed over to him after layer-by-layer approval, several deputy factory directors and the department heads and supervisors below all had their signatures, but the final decision had to be made by him, the head of the factory. Long decision.

Among them, many things are deeply involved, and Xu Qing has to talk to the deputy factory directors to implement them.

Sigh, there are a lot of troubles, it’s just a mess.

But he had no choice but to say that he had not caught up with the good times, but at this juncture, the main factory asked him to take on the responsibility of the fifth factory.

Speaking of which, this is the factory's trust in him.

But Xu Qing really doesn’t want to be.

The factory directors of these days may have a good reputation on the outside, but if they don’t do practical things, once the organization discovers it, the consequences will be self-evident.

After Xu Qing divided the industrial coupons on his body, he put the separated ones on his body separately from the original ones.

After the last rays of sunset slipped from the horizon, I rode back to the compound.

The courtyard is still the same as before, full of all kinds of trivial things.

Yu Li was quarreling with her third aunt, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the front yard. Yan Bugui and Yan Jiecheng, father and son, were caught in the middle, each trying to persuade his wife.

Jia Zhang from the Intermediate Court was scolding Xiao Dang for some unknown reason. Xiao Dang had an angry look on his face, his eyes widened, and refused to let Jia Zhang go.

"Grandma, don't go too far! I'm not a three-year-old child. Don't ask me to pay for it. I do it for the good of our family. If you can't understand it, you will know it later."

Jia Zhang's face was livid with anger, the feather duster in his hand was almost broken, his joints stood out, and he said sternly:

"Xiao Dang, you are a dead girl. Now that you are successful and capable, no one can care about you, right? If your brother is not at home, you will be lawless. Do you really think that your mother is protecting you, but I can't do anything to you?!"

Jia Zhang's eyes could pop out of their sockets, and his face was sullen, as if he wanted to teach Xiao Dang a lesson.

Xiaodang puffed out his mouth angrily, not afraid at all.

Anyway, I just don’t want to listen to my grandma.

Her words are her truth, but Xiaodang insists on his own truth.

The eldest mother is mediating with the eldest uncle and Qin Huairu.

Silly Zhu didn't come forward, but Xu Qing looked at Silly Zhu, who must have interfered just now and was scolded by Jia Zhang, so he didn't dare to interrupt now.

There is no way, Jia Zhang has never been a fuel-efficient lamp. She has a sharp mouth, both bitter and mean. When she curses people, few people can resist it.

But she just showed off her authority in the courtyard, and immediately calmed down her temper after leaving the courtyard.

A person of her age knows that no one outside will give her face.

She is an old woman, an ordinary commoner, and there is not a single man in the family. How can she not know the principle of being a good person with your tail between your legs?

That is to say, in the courtyard, people are letting out fire. Since they are all neighbors living in the same courtyard, in most cases, they just turn a blind eye or close an eye and muddle along, not wanting to cause too much trouble.

Otherwise, if nothing else, Liu Guangtian, a bastard like him, would be able to slap her away!

When Silly Zhu saw Xu Qing coming back, he immediately ran to him from the door of his house, holding a cigarette in his mouth, blinking, and whispered:

"Qingzi, show off your factory manager style and take care of Aunt Zhang."

Xu Qing pushed the bicycle, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Brother Silly Zhu, I've been tired for a long day. I went to the main factory for a meeting in the morning and dealt with things in the branch factory all afternoon. I really don't have the heart to care about the things in the hospital.

."

Seeing that Xu Qing was not in good spirits, Silly Zhu frowned, bared his teeth and said with a smile:

"Qingzi, how about I help you get some good stuff, make some soup for you, and make up for it. You have just become the director of the factory. This is not possible. The country needs you, the people need you, and our compound needs you even more. You

What will happen if the body collapses?"

Xu Qing smiled helplessly and said: "Brother Silly Zhu, thank you, but I've just been busy all day today and didn't take a midday break. I just need a night's rest."

Silly Zhu said oh, reached out and patted Xu Qing on the shoulder and said:

"Qingzi, don't be too hard..." Silly Zhu scratched his head, thought for a long time and said: "Work hard, yes, don't work too hard, take your time, like my brother, I cook, I only start when I have all the ingredients.

It’s okay to be anxious.”

Xu Qing nodded, chatted with Silly Zhu for a few more words, then pushed the cart back to the backyard.

Nothing happened in the backyard. Liu Guangtian took his wife to the hospital for a physical examination. Liu Haizhong, the second uncle, was at the door of the house, reprimanding Liu Guangfu in a low voice for asking him for money.

The second aunt was peeling onions and complained to her third son for a while. When she saw Xu Qing coming back, she quickly pulled a handful of her bangs and smiled at Xu Qing and said: "

Oh, Xiaoqing is back from get off work. How does it feel to be the director of the Fifth Factory?"

Xu Qing turned around and responded to the second aunt: "Second aunt, I'm almost exhausted!"

"Hey, when I first became the director of the factory, I had a lot of social activities, so it didn't matter if I worked hard. My old Liu, your second uncle, was the same when he was an official in the factory. He was so busy that he didn't have time to eat."
p>

When Liu Haizhong heard the second aunt mention his past, he immediately coughed and told her to stop talking.

The second aunt immediately shut up, knowing that her old Liu was thinking about Xu Damao taking away his black gauze hat again, and was in a bad mood.

Xu Qing didn't answer, said hello to Liu Haizhong, and parked the cart toward the door of his house.

Jinghong and the little girl walked back from get off work today and were in the kitchen cooking dinner together.

Xu Aiguo hasn't returned home yet, and Feng Mingren isn't here either.

Xu Qing entered the room and saw his son Hongzhi lying on the edge of the kang, reading comic books with great interest. He reached out and patted his little head:

"Go to the kitchen and help your mother and your sister-in-law light the fire."

The little guy looked up at Xu Qing and said with a smile:

"Dad, Mom said, my task today is to wait for you to come back and scoop water for you to wash your face. I don't need to light the fire."

Xu Qing said oh, and the little guy immediately closed up the comic book, put it on the kang, turned around and ran into the kitchen. After a while, he carefully returned to the front room with a ladle of water, poured the water into the washbasin, and cheered on his face.

Said: "My mission is completed!"

After saying that, he put the ladle on the table, ran to the edge of the kang, grabbed the comic strip, held it in his hand, and prepared to continue reading.

Xu Qing reached out and pointed at the ladle on the table. Xiao Hongzhi immediately understood and timidly hurried back to the kitchen.

At this moment, Patriot came back and said to Xu Qing as soon as he entered the room:

"Brother, I met the third child on my way back just now. He said he was not going to have dinner at home tonight and wanted to go to the movies. There was no need to stay at home for dinner."

Xu Qing hummed, feeling pretty good.

Whether it's Patriot, Fengming, or sister Xiaoya, they have their own lives to live.

Feng Ming is definitely not going to watch a movie alone. There is no need to guess, there is definitely a girl by his side.

This is a good thing, it means that the third brother is talking about someone.

When you take it home, you can watch the wedding.

The marriage of his younger siblings is currently Xu Qing’s top priority.

His parents are away, and his grandparents are in the countryside. They are too old to help. As the eldest brother, he has to look after Zhang Luo.
