Chapter 172 Asking for Leave from Director Xiao Chen

Although the ticket was booked for the evening,
But seeing Yang Xiangyang's erratic and uneasy behavior, Chen Luyang still sent him the movie tickets in the afternoon.

At night,

Chen Luyang didn't torture himself and left at the appointed time.

When he left, the workshop was bustling with activity.

The leaders of the four party groups led their members to move the tires and clean them, and everyone worked conscientiously.

Chen Luyang saw this and specifically instructed:

"Everyone, don't get too tired and do what you can."

"The last comrade to leave, don't forget to turn off the power and lock the door."

……

After dinner in the evening,
The children, led by Chen Luyang, studied together in the room.

Chen Lingling took advantage of Chen Luyang's attention and also took the notebook written by Yu Huichuan to read.

Junjun starts teaching language to children from a young age and spends an hour reciting English every night.

yard.

Mother Chen and elder sister Chen Lihong were hanging clothes.
There was a knock on the door,
My brother-in-law Sun Zhigang went to open the door and saw a female comrade standing at the gate with a vegetable basket and a nervous look on her face.

"Comrade, who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, is this Director Chen's home? I'm looking for Director Chen."

"Here." Sun Zhigang turned around and shouted into the main hall:

"Dad, someone's looking for you!"

"Who?"

Father Chen walked out the door wearing his coat.

The female comrade was stunned: "Isn't this Director Chen? This is not the Director Chen I'm looking for."

Father Chen frowned.

Sun Zhigang reacted quickly and asked, "Are you looking for Director Chen?"

The lesbians nodded enthusiastically!

"Yes, yes, Director Xiao Chen! I'm looking for Director Xiao Chen."

Father Chen made a small "tsk" sound, turned around and shouted.

"Director Chen, I'm looking for you!"

In the main room, Chen Luyang heard someone looking for him, and walked out of the yard in confusion.
"you are?"

When the female comrade saw Chen Luyang, she immediately smiled and said, "Director, I'm Gong Wenxiu from the rubber workshop."

Saying,

Gong Wenxiu took out a clean, steaming cloth from the vegetable basket. The cloth was bulging, as if it contained something.

Chen Luyang took a look at the cloth and couldn't help asking, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Gong Wenxiu said embarrassedly, "Director, I'd like to ask for leave. My child has a high fever, and my family members have to work during the day, so there's really no one to take care of him."

"I'd like to take a day off tomorrow to look after my child. I'll be back to work in the workshop as soon as the child's fever goes away. Is that okay with you?"

"Okay! Go ahead."

Chen Luyang gave the leave without hesitation.

This is the first time someone has come to ask for leave, and it’s for the child, so there is no reason to refuse.

"Don't worry, it's okay to take a couple of extra days off. Just take care of the kids first."

"Thank you, director!"

Gong Wenxiu didn't expect Chen Luyang to be so easy to talk to, and her nervous mood immediately calmed down a lot.

Chen Lihong, who was standing next to him, looked at Gong Wenxiu standing at the gate of the yard and secretly cursed her stubborn brother.

It's really a waste of his smart appearance.

On such a cold night, a female comrade came all the way to ask him for leave. How could he just let her stand at the door?
"Sister, how high is your child's fever? Has he been to the hospital?"

Chen Lihong gently invited the nervous Gong Wenxiu in.

"Do you have any medicine at home? My son Junjun had a fever before, and the doctor at the health center prescribed some medicine. You can take it back and prepare it."

Mother Chen was also anxious. She took out two newly laid eggs from the chicken coop and put them in her small bag.
"My daughter, please take these eggs laid by my old hen back home and feed them to your child to supplement his nutrition." Gong Wenxiu was a little nervous when she knocked on the door of the new workshop director for the first time.

But who would have thought that this family would be so kind and friendly!

Chen Luyang was squeezed behind by Chen's mother and Chen Lihong, and couldn't even get close.

Mother Chen had already skillfully put the medicine and eggs into a small cloth bag.

This is not enough,

Chen's mother ran to the yard again, opened two pickle jars, and brought some chili sauce and chive sauce over.

"My daughter, the chili sauce and chive sauce I made at home are delicious. When the child recovers from the illness, spread the sauce on the steamed buns and eat it with rice! I hope you will recover quickly..."

"I can't accept these!" Gong Wenxiu felt warm in her heart because of this family.

But she came here to ask for leave and give gifts, so how could she accept anything?
"Director, these are the buns we made last night. We put sugar in them. They're delicious. Try them!"

Although Chen Luyang didn't think this was a big deal,

But seeing Gong Wenxiu's nervous look, Chen Luyang happily took out a steamed bun from the drawer, put it in his mouth and took a bite.

really!!!

Add some sugar, it tastes sweet, warm and noisy~
"I'll only eat one. You can take these back and go home to see the kids." Chen Luyang said with a smile.

Gong Wenxiu came with a bag of steamed buns, so she didn't feel comfortable taking them back.

But after Chen Luyang ate one, he refused to take the others.

In addition, Chen's mother and Chen Lihong were there,
Not only did he only give away one of the steamed buns in his hand, but he was also forced to take away a lot of other things.

After seeing Gong Wenxiu off, Sun Zhigang said with a smile:

"Great, Director Chen! You've only been in office for two days, and already a comrade is knocking on your door."

Chen Luyang laughed and said, "Brother-in-law, please don't treat me badly. This is not a knock on the door! Isn't this someone coming to ask for leave?"

Chen's father stood by and looked at Chen Luyang with a complex expression of relief and some confusion, then turned around, lifted the curtain and went into the house.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy about a little Director Chen appearing in your family?"

Mother Chen has been with Father Chen through thick and thin for decades, and she knows his thoughts very well.

The people living in the yard now are "Director Chen" and "Little Director Chen".

In two years, when Chen Dazhi retires, there will be only one "Director Chen" left in the yard.

"I didn't." Father Chen said stubbornly.

"You...sometimes you are even more narrow-minded than Junjun."

Mother Chen said with a smile.

……

The next day, Xiang Guowu did not come.

The day after tomorrow, Gong Wenxiu went to Chen Luyang to cancel her leave on time, but Xiang Guowu still didn't come.

The day after tomorrow, Xiang Guowu still didn't come.

It’s good that you didn’t come~~~~
Chen Luyang listened to the rumbling sound of the machines in the workshop and looked at the workers coming and going, rolling up their sleeves to work, and felt very satisfied!
On his third day in office, he began to gradually make some small, insignificant changes to the workshop work.

One of the following:
The routine political theory study organized by the workshop director was changed to a study session where the leaders of each party group took turns to lead the study.

While the team leaders read the newspapers at the top, he translated the information below, making full use of every second!
Yesterday, when the leader of Group 4 finished reading the workshop news published in the factory newspaper, the entire workshop was immersed in an inexplicable excitement.

Since Deputy Director Liu left, the status of the rubber workshop has plummeted.
Not to mention being published in the factory newspaper, even a fly is reluctant to fly in on weekdays.

But since Chen Luyang came, the workshop has not only become more lively, but even a small workshop production layout meeting can be reported in the factory newspaper.

Everyone has always been passionate about doing things, but they just don’t know how to do it, who to do it with, and what the outcome will be.

Although Chen Luyang has not led everyone to make practical contributions yet.

But it gives people the feeling that there is a purpose.

The meeting just ended here.

The factory loudspeaker blared:
"At 10 a.m. today, please invite all department leaders and workshop directors to the small auditorium for a meeting."

"Notify me again!"

"At 10 a.m. today, please invite all department leaders and workshop directors to the small auditorium for a meeting!"
