Chapter 283 Director, How Do You Know So Much?

Chen Luyang: ...

He raised his hand and patted the dormitory door: "Da Le, are you up? The brothers are here to see you!"

Tang Xi was caught off guard by someone coming to see him, so he quickly put his feet on the ground and took a few quick steps to open the door.

"Why are you all here?!"

Tang Xi looked at everyone in surprise, his expression moved.

"We definitely have to come if you're sick! What happened? I heard you treated athlete's foot and also wet the bed."

Chairman Sui's nephew entered the room, saw the bare bed board, and frowned:
"No matter how strong your physique is, you can't rely on a cotton coat to spend the night! I'll go home this afternoon and bring you two quilts to cover yourself with first."

Tang Xi waved his hand: "No need! I'll go home and sleep tonight."

Director Zhu's nephew was so skeptical: "No, who on earth gave you such a stupid idea, saying that river water can cure athlete's foot?"

Song Liaosha's eyes dimmed and she was about to admit it.

Unexpectedly, Tang Xi was very responsible: "That's not a bad idea! This is a folk remedy. I just smelled it, and the smell is much less."

Chen Luyang rolled his eyes silently in his heart.

This naive brother is beyond help.

But just because he didn't say it doesn't mean others won't say it.

The brother-in-law of Secretary Song of the Meat Processing Plant's Youth League Committee asked, "If it's a folk remedy, why do you still wet the bed?"

Tang Xi was also puzzled: "Who knows."

"When I went to soak my feet, I ran into a few Italian female engineers from our factory swimming in the river!"

"You said they were all soaking in water, so why didn't I hear them talk about peeing on the kang?"

Looking at Tang Xi's suspicious expression, Chen Luyang said helplessly:

"They're swimming! You're just sitting by the river and soaking! How can it be the same?"

"If you ask me, you should go see a doctor right away and get some medicine. Don't let the cold cause you to get hurt."

"No need!" Tang Xi subconsciously looked at Song Liaosha with trust.

When Song Liaosha was looked at by Tang Xi, she really wanted to slap herself a few times.

"Dale, Brother Chen is right, we have to go and see it!"

"I'll ask my section chief for leave soon. I know an old doctor who's very good. I'll take you there this afternoon!"

Tang Xi was instantly moved.

"Da Song! I won't say anything more. You are my brother!"

Chen Luyang rolled his eyes silently.

That afternoon, Song Liaosha took leave to accompany Tang Xi to see a doctor.

From seeing a doctor to getting medicine to eating and a series of other messy things, Song Liaosha served Tang Xi attentively, which touched Tang Xi deeply.

night
Having successfully found inspiration, Ms. Feng Jiuxiang finally took out her brush and ink and started painting.

"Mom, your little sparrow's painting is very vivid!"

Chen Luyang held a bowl of hot milk and stood by to admire it while drinking.

Feng Jiuxiang rolled her eyes at her son and said, "You're nothing like me. You don't have any pursuit of beauty at all."

"Open your little eyes and take a good look. It's a magpie!"

Chen Luyang pointed at the red flower on the paper again: "What about this?"

Feng Jiuxiang looked disgusted: "This is a plum blossom!"

"This painting is called Magpie on Plum Blossom Land!"

Saying,

Feng Jiuxiang took the pen, stepped back a few steps, looked at the magpie and plum blossom on the paper, and said with satisfaction:
"How about it? With my talent, can your mother be selected as an outstanding work in the 'Celebrating Women's Day' Charming Art Exhibition?"

Chen Luyang looked left and right carefully.

"Mom, seriously."

"When it comes to painting, I'm not as good as you. But when it comes to judging awards, you're not as good as me."

Feng Jiuxiang looked up and glanced at her son: "What do you mean?"

Chen Luyang said, "What I mean is, the name of your painting is too ordinary and doesn't fit the theme at all."

"No matter how good the painting is, if the intention is not good enough, he cannot give the award."

Feng Jiuxiang asked: "What name would you like to give it?"

Chen Luyang said, "In my opinion, it should be called 'The spring breeze of reform fills the garden, and plum blossoms bloom on the branches to welcome spring.'"

Feng Jiuxiang was a little excited but also a little uneasy: "Can I combine this magpie climbing a plum tree with the reform and opening up?"

Chen Luyang was firm: "Why not? We are holding this cultural event to celebrate reform and opening up and International Women's Day!"

"Without reform and opening up, the plum blossoms wouldn't even bloom anywhere. You'd still be working so hard to raise the three of us sisters, and there wouldn't be this good environment for you to paint!"

Feng Jiuxiang was convinced~
"Good job, second brother, you're amazing! No wonder you're the workshop director, you have so many good words."

"Tell me your name again so I can write it down for him!"

Chen Luyang happily repeated the name and watched Feng Jiuxiang write the title of the painting.

The next day at work,

Feng Jiuxiang and Mrs. Wang from next door sent the exhibition works to the trade union.

Unexpectedly,

The two of them had just seen Chen Luyang in the union.

Chen Luyang led five Italian female engineers to the union to submit their works.

When the five Italian female engineers heard that there was a cultural and artistic activity in the factory, they happily drew pictures with pencils and followed Chen Luyang to submit their works.

These female engineers are usually good at drawing designs and are also good at painting.

Seeing Chen Luyang chatting and laughing with the Italian female engineers, the kind-hearted Mrs. Wang spoke up:

"Jiuxiang, if you ask me, these Italian female engineers are pretty good looking."

"No, you should let Xiao Chen develop and marry a foreign wife. That would be so lively!"

Feng Jiuxiang was almost choked by these words!

"Come on, don't harm the Italian girl!"

"Besides, my second son can't marry a foreign wife. What will happen if he marries a foreign wife?"

Seeing Feng Jiuxiang's resistance, Mrs. Wang disagreed.
"Jiuxiang, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but we need to be open-minded!"

"What's wrong with marrying a foreign wife? There are so many people in our factory who marry foreign wives. Let's not talk about those far away. Let's just look at Technician Song."

"Song Liaosha, Song Vasily, and Song Nata are so beautiful! Their big eyelashes flicker, just like dolls."

It would have been fine if Mrs. Xiao Wang hadn't mentioned Technician Song. But when she did, Feng Jiuxiang's face completely darkened.

"Come on! That Soviet female expert just went back home as she said she would, leaving Technician Song to raise three children all by herself."

Those three kids are pretty,
But she saw most clearly how difficult and miserable the childhood of children without mothers was.

Because she felt sorry for these three children, Feng Jiuxiang would invite them to her home for dinner every now and then.

"If our second son finds a foreign wife, and then someone recruits her back to China, what will we do on our own?"

The more Feng Jiuxiang spoke, the more worried she became.

"...No! I need to have a good chat with the second brother!"

"You can find anyone, but you can't find a foreign wife!"

……

Ms. Feng Jiuxiang is currently worrying about finding a partner for her son.
In the rubber workshop,
Chen Luyang sat in the office, holding a pen in his right hand and constantly writing and drawing on the manuscript paper, revising and improving the content of the lecture materials.

As required, he will give a lecture on family planning to his colleagues in the workshop this afternoon.

The original intention was to give separate lectures to the female workers in the workshop.

But it’s not a good idea to let all the male comrades go out to freeze in such freezing weather. Besides, family planning is not just a matter for female comrades.

Chen Luyang simply let the female comrades sit in the front and the male comrades sit in the back, so that they could listen to the class and receive education together.

The factory attaches great importance to this International Women's Day study session.
The trade union not only sent people to each workshop to supervise, but also wrote materials for reporting and publicity.

To show respect,

He also specially arranged for Huang Pingtao to go to the trade union to invite Secretary Xiao Xu to come over, and the lecture began as soon as Secretary Xiao Xu arrived.

"Dong dong dong."

Du Han knocked on the door and said, "Director, Brother Huang is here with Secretary Xu."

Chen Luyang quickly put away the manuscript and stood up: "Let's go! Let's go and welcome them."

Outside the workshop at this time

Secretary Xu followed Huang Pingtao with a camera in his arms, feeling flattered.

From the first day I entered the factory to now,

He went to so many workshops and made inspection records for so many workshop directors, but he always went and came back by himself.

When Huang Pingtao knocked on the door with a smile and came to the office to pick him up to go to the workshop, he was stunned.

This is not the treatment for an official at all!
It’s just like the leader visiting the workshop to express his condolences.

Walk to the workshop door,

Chen Luyang went out to greet them warmly, stopped Xiao Xu and walked into the workshop, saying, "Xiao Xu, thank you for your hard work. Please come in."

Pushing the door open, before Secretary Xu could react,

Then Chen Luyang said, "Comrades, Xiao Xu, the secretary from the factory union, is here to supervise and inspect our workshop today. He is here to study with us all. Please give him a round of applause!"

Suddenly, dozens of female workers in the workshop stood up and applauded.

Secretary Xu's lips trembled with emotion.

"Secretary Xu, please take a seat."

Huang Pingtao and Du Han enthusiastically invited Secretary Xu to the central seat. Dong Mangui was even more considerate and poured him a cup of hot tea.

to be frank,
Under normal circumstances, they wouldn't even give a second glance to a small clerk like Xiao Xu.

In a machinery factory, the workshop workers are the main force.

These logistics and comprehensive departments all serve the production line.

But there was no way, Chen Luyang specifically instructed.

All comrades in the factory office building must respect him, otherwise it will be a problem.

So the team leaders of several workshops could only coax them with kind words.

Seeing that the female workers in the audience were all seated, Chen Luyang spoke.

"Comrades, International Women's Day is coming soon. First of all, I want to wish all the women in the workshop a happy holiday! As the backbone of your families and half of society, you have written extraordinary stories in your ordinary jobs. On this special day, in accordance with the requirements of the factory union, today we will give a special lecture on International Women's Day to everyone in the workshop. Let's discuss a topic that is closely related to every family: family planning."

As soon as Chen Luyang said this,
Huang Pingtao, Du Han and the others subconsciously looked at each other.

its not right……

This is not the manuscript they wrote for Chen Luyang!

Du Han's scalp suddenly exploded.

Could it be that the director wasn't satisfied with what I wrote this time? So he wrote a new one?
They were just wondering what was going on when Chen Luyang on the stage continued his speech without a script:
"As we all know, our country is vast and rich in resources, but there are too many people and too little land. As early as the Book of Songs, there was a lament: "If there are too many people, how can we provide for them?" This sentence tells us: if the population is too large, there will not be enough resources. Today, we want to discuss a new era theme: "It is better to have only one child."

First of all, why is it better to have only one child?

As the saying goes, "You can afford to give birth, but you can't afford to raise it." When a child is born, what doesn't cost money? Food, clothing, and daily necessities? From infancy to school, parents worry a lot. If there are more children, how will resources be allocated? The younger child wears the older child's hand-me-downs, or picks up the older child's books. Unavoidable complaints: "Mom, can't you buy me new ones?" If you only have one child, wouldn't this problem be easily solved?

"Puchi~" Someone in the audience couldn't help but laugh.

Although some of the older girls in the workshop are still married and don’t have to worry about having older or younger children, who doesn’t have brothers or sisters?

Almost every one of them has complained to their parents about what Chen Luyang said.

Although it was a lecture at a study session, Chen Luyang did not have the serious tone of a lecturer at all. What he said was down-to-earth and attractive to listen to. The workers in the workshop also listened with great interest.

Chen Luyang continued with a smile, "Besides, we have to contribute to the country. If the population is well controlled, resources can be used effectively. We have enough food to eat, more spacious houses, and less crowded parks. Isn't this the life we yearn for?"

"That brings us to the next question: How can we successfully implement the 'one child policy'?"

"Speaking of this, many people will ask: How can we achieve this by having only one child? Don't worry,
"Our country's contraceptive technology is very mature, from the traditional safe period to modern contraceptive pills and IUDs. We have everything. The Women's Federation also regularly organizes training courses to teach everyone how to use contraception scientifically, which is worry-free and effective."

Chen Luyang's face was frank, but his ears were red.

It’s so hard to be a fucking leader!
If you were to talk to a gay man about family planning, you could just say, "Take it easy at night," and that would be it.

...The key point is that he had to tell this story to many female comrades in a serious manner!!!
Why don’t the Women’s Federation just hold a women’s conference for all factory workers and talk about it?

He was still a little shy, but the women in the workshop were not shy at all.

"Director, how do you know so much?!"

A somewhat fierce young wife was laughing and cheering in the audience.

This young wife is actually quite familiar with Chen Luyang.

It was she who had a conflict with her coworker and ran to his office to cry, accidentally knocking over his enamel pot, causing him to ask Wang Qingzhou for the pot as a reward!
"Yes, Director Chen, you're not even married, how do you know so much?"

Other female comrades in the workshop also joined in the fun.

Chen Luyang is usually talkative and cheerful, and he doesn't put on airs with female colleagues. He is very popular in the workshop.

Everyone took the opportunity to tease him.

Chen Luyang replied seriously: "I'm not married, but I can study!"

"We must not only engage in production, but also study policies and understand national conditions. Only when we know what the country needs can we produce what it needs."
