Huang Guilan's house consists of two shanty houses. What is called a shanty house is a house without beams, which is better than an adobe house.
The area is not bad, the two rooms together are estimated to be about 50 square meters. It has been in disrepair for many years, and the roof is getting lower and lower. The house has only blue brick walls and an earth floor.
Comrade Xiao Du 181 feels like he can almost touch the ceiling with his hand, and he feels a little cramped.
The four little girls at home looked timidly at Du Weiguo, who was as tall as a god descending from heaven.
Erni timidly called out: "Uncle."
Huang Guilan moved a stool and wiped it with her sleeves, "Director Du, sit down and I'll pour you tea."
Xiao Du was not polite at all. He sat down quietly and said to Er Ni: "Er Ni, come here and let uncle see if your neck is healed?"
Erni came over obediently and said, "I'm fine now. Thank you, uncle, for buying the potion."
Xiao Du looked at Er Ni's little neck. Well, the child recovered very quickly. Now there are only faint traces.
At this time, Huang Guilan came over and handed Xiao Du a cup of tea, "Director Du, please drink water. Don't worry, the cup is new and no one has used it."
"Thank you, Erni. My uncle also brought you some candy today. Can you and your sister eat it together?"
As he said this, Xiao Du took out a handful of white rabbits from his pocket and handed it to Er Ni.
"Director Du, you are so embarrassed!"
"Go on, Erni, go eat some sweets and I'll talk to your mother about something."
"Thank you uncle, thank you uncle, thank you."
I received three thank yous, Danni, Ernie, Sanni, and Fourth are only two years old and they don’t even understand.
Huang Guilan sat opposite Du Weiguo, her heart beating as if it was about to pop out of her mouth, and her mouth was dry.
She didn't know whether it was because of the upcoming turn of her fate, or simply because Du Weiguo was sitting in front of her.
Xiao Du didn't show off, took out the letter of introduction from his coat pocket and handed it to her.
"I heard that you have read the book. This is the introduction letter for the steel rolling mill. Please read it."
Huang Guilan accepted the employment introduction letter with trembling hands in a daze. She did not read the introduction letter at all, but looked at Du Weiguo. Her eyes were quickly filled with tears, blurring her vision. Du Weiguo watched closely what it means to burst into tears.
They say women are made of water. Sure enough, where did so many tears come from in an instant?
"Comrade Huang Guilan, if the letter of introduction is wet with tears, it will be invalid."
"ah!"
As soon as she heard this, she quickly wiped her eyes with the sleeve of her arm, and then calmly read the letter of introduction.
There was very little content, and there were no words she didn't recognize. With this letter of introduction, she would be a warehouse management assistant at the Red Star Rolling Mill from now on.
A serious worker will have his own food capital after becoming a regular worker. From then on, Huang Guilan also has the capital to settle down and support her family.
Comrade Xiao Du was taking a sip of tea at this time. The water was a bit bitter. No wonder it was called Bushui Hutong. The water was really bad.
Huang Guilan plopped down and knelt in front of Du Weiguo, and called to the children: "You all come over and kneel down to Uncle Du."
Du Weiguo quickly put down the tea cup and stretched out his hand to pull her up.
"You are not allowed to kneel, otherwise I will ask for your letter of introduction back."
At this time, several children gathered around, even the youngest one was carried over, still dripping with saliva.
"Huang Guilan, sit tight. This is a new society. This has long been out of the question. Besides, I'm not here to repay a favor. There are a few things I want to make clear to you."
"Okay, you tell me, I'll listen."
"First, the succession failed. Niu Dazhuang was sentenced and the factory fired him, so there is no talk of succession."
"Second, this is a temporary job that our section chief has found for you through his connections. You work in the logistics department. The salary is not high, but the work is not tiring."
"Third, temporary workers only have a monthly salary of 15 yuan, and after they become regular workers, it will be 19.5 yuan. Otherwise, it will increase step by step. The highest salary for assistants is 45.5 yuan."
"Did you hear everything I said clearly?"
"Well, I heard everything clearly."
"Okay, our section chief said that we will find a way to help you become a regular employee after the New Year, but for the time being we only have a salary of 15 yuan."
"This is already a lot. Our mothers couldn't even get 10 yuan a month before, and we had to take care of his food and drink."
"Ah? What's going on?"
"He goes out to restaurants every day to make ends meet, and gives me a few dollars a month to live on."
"Oh, okay, that's it. My ability is limited, so this is the most I can help."
"Director Du, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. From now on, as long as you are of use to us, it will be up to the mountain of swords and the sea of fire. If I, Huang Guilan, frown even a little, I will die badly."
Comrade Xiao Du took a long sip of tea and drank the bitter tea directly.
Then he said: "This cup of tea is the reward you gave me. You won't owe me any favors from now on. I'm still on duty, so I'm leaving."
After saying that, he turned around and rode away.
After Comrade Xiao Du died, Huang Guilan was already in tears. Dani was the oldest and knew the most.
"Mom, we have met Bodhisattva. When I grow up, I will also repay Uncle Du."
"Mom, please stop crying. I will repay Uncle Du too," Erni said.
Huang Guilan said:
"He didn't help us, he saved our lives and gave us a way to survive. You all must remember that from now on, what Director Du said will be the destiny of our family, and our children and grandchildren will have it forever."
Remember he is our family’s benefactor.”
Not to mention Huang Guilan crying at home and teaching her children to repay her kindness, Comrade Xiao Du had already returned to the duty room at this time.
Comrade Xiao Du will be very happy because he has a holiday tomorrow and doesn't have to go out day and night.
Tomorrow is Sunday, and Comrade Xiao Du has a day off. The security department was originally on a day off, but Xiao Du is still in the study period and has not officially scheduled his shifts, so he will rest with the workshop.
Next month, he will start taking shifts and start taking breaks. Moreover, he is still a cadre, so he must be a captain or above to take a break.
Not to mention Du Weiguo, who was in a happy mood, he didn't know that a storm was gathering at this moment, waiting to come.
Jiang Dongfang returned home and was in a very happy mood. Comrade Xiao Du made him blush today, and he was even more happy when he saw that Xiao Du was very sensible and left the red panda at home for him.
Looking at today's meal again, it's so rich. It's amazing. Everything is going well today! Life is as happy as a flower.
You must have two glasses of it.
Seeing Jiang Dongfang in such a happy mood and humming a little tune, Aunt Li, who was in a slightly complicated mood, asked him: "Why are you so happy?"
Jiang Dongfang was in a good mood, so he happily learned what Xiao Du had done to him today.
After saying that, he took a sip himself, it was so delicious!
Aunt Li said: "I asked Caiyu to come over for dinner tomorrow, but it took a lot of effort to convince her to meet Xiao Du. You said that of all the girls we know, she is the only one who is worthy of Xiao Du.
"
"Well, Caiyu is indeed a good match for Xiao Du. They are both talented and handsome, so they are a perfect match. I think Xiao Du can also get along with her. You can do this well."
"It's nothing bad. If you do the split, Xiao Du will already have a partner!"
"What?" Jiang Dongfang was so excited that he spilled his wine glass.
"He has a partner? He has only been back for a few days? Why didn't I know?"
So, Aunt Li learned from Jiang Dongfang the conversation she had with Xiao Du during dinner, word for word.
After hearing this, Jiang Dongfang couldn't laugh or cry. He was an old investigator, and he could tell immediately that this was a lie made up by Xiao Du.
He also knew that Xiao Du didn't want to come to his house, and the main reason was that he was afraid that his wife would have to introduce him to someone every day.
Do you want to break this matter?
Aunt Li said at this time: "Tell me, what should I tell Caiyu tomorrow? She also has a very stubborn temper and it will be difficult to control her?"
