Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 312 This is my partner

"It's okay. This is my brother. He helps take care of Xuesong and Xuemei on weekdays. We all know each other very well."

"He also has a girl who is also in school, but she is currently in military training and has not come back. Their family is just two brothers and a sister. They are similar to our family. They usually move around a lot. It will be fine. Then you can just call me Brother Zhuzi. "

The younger sister couldn't help but chime in, but her attention was obviously on the delicious food.

"Sister Xia, it's okay. Chef He's cooking is delicious. It's a little better than my elder brother's cooking. You can try it later. I guarantee it's delicious."

"And Sister Yuyu, she is very kind to us. She is just like my own sister. She helps me study whenever she has time. She is as good as Sister Xia."

The little girl turned the corner quite quickly. After praising the rain, she was afraid that Xia Yuhong would be unhappy, so she quickly made up for it. She stood up and put her arms around Xia Yuhong's neck in the front row, and kissed her, which made Xia Yuhong happy.

...

"Brother Zhuzi, let me introduce you. This is my partner. His name is Xia Yuhong. I've been here a few times before. You should have met me."

When I came back from doing things, it was already late. Silhu had prepared dinner, and Xia Yuhong had also packed up, but there were no suitable clothes.

...

Silly Zhu was so happy that he couldn't help but smile. He liked this girl's open-minded speech, but it was a pity that his sister was becoming more and more sophisticated.

"Brother Zhuzi is such a person. He is straight-talking and heart-warming. Don't mind it. He just talks like this. He doesn't have a gatekeeper. You will get used to it when you see more in the future."

"No, my brother can endure it. He has designed a lot of furniture styles and even set up a furniture factory. Did you see the certificates on the wall? He received awards from the district. He also opened a feed factory to provide our streets with I solved a lot of people's work, and at the end of the year, I showed up a lot..."

But it's okay. The relationship between the two families is very good now. They can't be one family, but they are almost like one family. The eldest girl in front of him seems to be a happy person. Brother Zhu is lucky, and I am happy for him.

Seeing that Sha Zhu started talking nonsense again, Zhu Xuefeng had no choice but to explain.

"The food you cook is really amazing. No wonder Xiao Xuemei always praises your skill. Today I also take advantage of it. Xuefeng always mentions you, so I won't be polite and call you Brother Zhuzhu. Kong, you’re here to get some light, do you think so?”

"Miss Xia, don't be polite. From now on, I have to call you brother and sister. Come over anytime. If you want to eat anything, just tell your brother Zhuzi directly. I will take care of this. Haha, come and do it..."

Silly Zhu started talking about the train again, Zhu Xuefeng smiled at Xia Yuhong.

"You also opened a feed mill and a furniture factory? Why have I never heard of you?"

"That's my brother and sister. I've met them before, but I haven't said hello. I think we got to know them today."

Xia Yuhong was very curious, looking like a curious baby, staring at Zhu Xuefeng and asking, where did Zhu Xuefeng get all this energy and time? Going to school plus a bunch of products from the steel rolling mill would keep him busy.

Sometimes he doesn't listen to his own words, but he especially listens to Brother Zhu's suggestions and opinions. He thought that there would be a future for the two of them, but now it seems that there is no chance.

The younger sister took her to find some underwear and a coat in the eldest brother's closet to make do with. They seemed a bit loose and there was nothing that could be done about it. The younger sister's and younger sister's were both too small. Xia Yuhong was not small, both were over 1.7 meters tall. .

Zhu Xuefeng had already drank a lot before he opened his mouth. Silly Zhu, who was blushing, rushed to speak.

After three rounds of drinking, the conversation started again. When looking for clothes just now, Xia Yuhong was very curious, because Zhu Xuefeng didn't go home either, so he didn't care that Silly Zhu was still there, so he opened his mouth to ask.

"I heard from my little sister that you drew pictures of the furniture at home and asked the master to make it. Why are the designs inside so clever? Are you really thinking of yourself?"

Fortunately, Xia Yuhong was a child who grew up in an alley, so she was not afraid of such a scene. She raised her cup to Silly Pillar in a generous manner.

Silly Zhu was a little embarrassed and grinned awkwardly.

Silly Zhu glanced at Xia Yuhong, who was like a lotus in water, and quickly turned around. This was his sister-in-law, so he was embarrassed to stare at her.

Xia Yuhong didn't mind too much. Zhu Xuefeng could introduce herself as his partner in front of outsiders, which made Xia Yuhong feel very sweet. Of course she wouldn't take it to heart if Silly Zhu opened his mouth and shut up about his younger siblings. She was very happy at this moment and raised her neck. , drank a small drink.

"Don't listen to Brother Zhuzi's nonsense. I didn't drive it, it was run by the street. I just helped with ideas and drew a few pictures. Don't let Brother Zhuzi lead him into a ditch. He, That's how you talk, haha, don't mind, Brother Zhuzhu, don't glare at me, did I say something wrong?"

...

Dinner had already been dispersed, and the younger sister took the initiative to help dry Xia Yuhong's cleaned clothes. After a while, she had to send Xia Yuhong home to pick up her things, and then the two of them had to go back to school.

Zhu Xuefeng's gift was a hair dryer. Unfortunately, there was no power outlet at home, and the electricity was very tight now, so everyone just used a light. This thing was not installed, so they had to dry it first.

"I said, just go home and change into something clean. These clothes may change color if they are baked."

Xia Yuhong glanced at it and said angrily.

"I just changed it in the morning. How do you explain it to me when you ask me to go home? You can't just say that I spent a whole day crawling into a ravine with a fool. Besides, I don't have to dry it all. It just doesn't show from the outside."

Looking at Zhu Xuefeng sideways, she still felt that she couldn't see through it. Xia Yuhong didn't want to hide her thoughts in front of him and spoke directly.

"I can't see you clearly now. You seem to be hiding a lot of things from me. No, you have to tell me properly, otherwise I won't let you go..."

The two of them hugged each other on the bed in the north room. Although Xia Yuhong believed Zhu Xuefeng's explanation, she still felt that there was still something unfinished and she insisted on getting to the bottom of it.

This woman's intuition is really powerful, but there are many things that cannot be talked about now, and can only be found in the future.

"No, I have just said it. I have also mentioned my research projects and directions. This is not much. You don't even think about it. Can I still find time to do anything else? I will go back to school tomorrow. Maybe he will disappear for a while, and I don’t know whether I will have the chance to participate in this military training."

Xia Yuhong's eyes widened and she became even more curious, and thought about it for a while.

"You mean, you might be able to participate in the big project of your department chair? This is a good thing. Just tell me what the project is. Why is it so mysterious?"

Zhu Xuefeng turned around and held Xia Yuhong's face. Xia Yuhong was fascinated for a moment and listened to Zhu Xuefeng's serious words.

"This project is too big and nothing can be said before it is approved by the superiors. We cannot make mistakes. When we can tell you, we will definitely tell you."

Xia Yuhong's family also had a similar experience. Seeing that Zhu Xuefeng was serious, he nodded stupidly, broke away from his hand, and stopped asking questions. He just lowered his head and started playing with the gift from Zhu Xuefeng.

"I'm not allowed to bring these things to school for use. I can only keep them at home. It's such a waste. You bought so many. How did you get so much foreign exchange." "That's why I'm not allowed to bring them to school for use." Ah, there are places in Guangdong Province where you can secretly exchange Hong Kong dollars, so don’t lie about this, otherwise I will be in trouble.”

"I know, you still need to remind me, I'm not stupid."

Xia Yuhong put away the gift with some unfinished thoughts, looked at the sky outside, and whispered.

"Why don't we leave now? It's getting late. I'll go home first and you can come see me later."

Zhu Xuefeng raised his hand and looked at the time. It was indeed almost time.

"Don't go to such trouble. I'll take you back and wait for you. I don't have anything to bring with me, so let's go."

"I'll give you these two pheasants. If you go out for a day, you'll be able to do a good job when you get home."

"It's also cheap for my dad. He will definitely use this as an excuse to have two more drinks..."

...

"I don't know where my daughter was taken by the boy named Zhu. She went crazy for a day. She didn't leave home for a whole day. She came back with two pheasants. Now she came back to get something and ran away. I don't think I can keep this girl."

Lao Xia looked at the two figures disappearing into the darkness and sighed. Xia's mother looked indifferent.

"There is nothing to worry about. I see that Xiao Zhu can't find any fault with our daughter. You don't even look at what she brought back just now. These are not ordinary things."

"You said that Xiao Zhu is really thoughtful. He also gave me a set. Didn't you also receive a lot of new tea? Enjoy it. You can't buy these things. This kid is really capable."

Lao Xia felt bad that her daughter, whom she had raised for so many years, finally had a day off and was not at home for a moment. Seeing that Xia's mother didn't take it seriously, she was even more reluctant to leave her.

"Yeah, the more capable he is, the less worried I am. Forget it, don't think about it anymore. I have children and grandchildren here. As long as their character is good, I don't care about their affairs."

Xia Mu laughed and said, "It seems that you can take care of it now. By the way, didn't you say that your factory's tricycle experiment was successful?"

"You have taken advantage of Xiao Zhu again. Your factory has taken advantage endlessly. I don't even see you showing any sign of it. I even look down on you."

Lao Xia was a little embarrassed by being said but didn't dare to get angry, but he spoke quickly and immediately started to attack.

"Just tell me, wasn't the antifreeze that was in short supply in your factory not long ago also invented by this guy? I haven't seen any reaction from your factory. Let's not laugh at the same thing at the same time."

Mother Xia was dumbfounded by the old ghost. This old guy was so stingy.

"You old ghost, I'm not the director of the factory, is it my turn to take care of this matter? You didn't do well, so why don't you tell me? Look at Lao Yang in the steel rolling mill. He's been trying to win over you. Look, this jeep is reserved for him and he can use it at any time."

Lao Xia actually smiled. The motorcycle factory was not as wealthy as the steel rolling factory, and it had much less autonomy.

"How about I learn from the steel rolling mill and leave him a regular three-wheeler to serve him at any time, haha."

"You old guy, you are not serious at all. Even before I become your son-in-law, you have been taking advantage of me endlessly. If I become your son-in-law in the future, you have to get worse."

...

Lao Yang of the steel rolling mill was also worried. The order tasks brought back by the secretary two days ago made the senior management of the steel rolling mill smile. However, when the secretary explained clearly the penalties for breach of contract, the heavy tasks overwhelmed all the leaders. Foreign exchange is really not easy to earn.

Today is Sunday, but except for Factory Director Li, all the factory leaders sat in the small conference room for the whole day. During the whole day, everyone brainstormed and mobilized all relationships and channels, but it seemed that they were still far away from the goal. Do it.

Seeing all the factory leaders discussing each other as they went downstairs to go home, Director Yang was smoking a cigarette and waiting to accompany the secretary. There was a bang behind him, and he knew that the secretary had closed the office and came out.

"Secretary, does Xiao Zhu have any good suggestions?"

Lao Yang is not confused. Such a large order can only be barely guaranteed unless all domestic production is stopped to give way. However, the domestic ones are also planned. The rolling mill has no ability to change and must deliver on time.

He didn't believe that when Zhu Xuefeng saw this situation, he would foolishly take back a bunch of orders without making reasonable suggestions.

"This guy suggested opening a branch factory directly in Guangdong Province. He said..."

Lao Yang smiled, but then fell silent again. The boy did have an idea, but it was not easy to do. Besides, water from afar could not quench the thirst of the nearer.

"Gone?"

"What else can we do? The next step is to update the equipment. We are already doing this. We asked Lao Luo from the Ministry of Commerce at that time. He was willing to help, but this is not a short-term solution."

"I see, according to what we just negotiated, we still have two steps. One is to tap internal potential, and the other is to ask for external help. We'd better find time to visit the leaders of the ministry together..."

"This is the only way. If it doesn't work, let the ministry coordinate with the supply and marketing department and temporarily give way to domestic supply. We cannot do without this foreign exchange..."

"Old Chen, I always feel that it's not that simple. Is there something else that this guy is hiding from us? It stands to reason that the factory is facing huge production pressure. According to my understanding of this guy, he should come and offer his advice. , I’ve been back for two days, and I haven’t seen him come once, but I prepared cigarettes for him to celebrate.”

"Xiao Zhu has been out for more than a month and has just returned home. Today is still the weekend, so he is thinking about you. You are more ruthless than Zhou Bapi. He has been working hard on sales these days. His voice has been hoarse for several days. Yes, you..."

"By the way, we have to prepare well in advance for the next Canton Fair. Also, Lao Huang's matter this time..."

Sure enough, when Lao Huang was mentioned, Lao Yang became furious. After a trip to this thing, he couldn't help but was very good at holding back. At that time, he said that he was engaged in supplies, had a wide network, and had many acquaintances and friends, so he could help. It was the first time the Canton Fair was held in the factory that I was allowed to go because of the help. I didn’t expect it to be such a thing.

"He is Lao Li's man. Lao Li didn't go... We need to think about this matter carefully. It's best to let him get out. If it doesn't work, we have to move to another place. This supply department is a key place..."

Secretary Chen nodded. This person was determined to move. He had no sense of the overall situation, and his personal ethics seemed to be in shambles. Xiao Zhou told Xiao Zhu that it was because of him that he came to the technical department. It seemed that he was usually extremely... It's inappropriate, it's just that the leader doesn't know.

"There is still a shortage of people. There is a shortage of people at all levels, there is a shortage of technical departments, there is a shortage of development personnel, and there is a shortage of production workers. By the way, secretary, you have gone to several schools and several automobile factories, but you have hired some There’s no one around.”

The two chatted and walked away...
