Wen Xiaoli, who had just put breakfast on the table, heard a knock on the door and ran out to open the door.
"Xiao Li, your dad hasn't gone to work yet?" Lu Jiangan stood at the door with a smile on his face.
"Are you Uncle Lu?"
Wen Xiaoli saw clearly that the person coming was Lu Yang's father in the building next door. She was startled and hurriedly waved her hands and said: "My dad is washing his face, please come in!"
After speaking, Wen Xiaoli turned around and raised her voice: "Mom, Dad, Uncle Lu is here!"
"Hey, Director Lu is here..." Liu Qiuhua came out of the kitchen, wiped her hands, looked at Lu Jiangan and didn't know what to say, and said after holding back for a long time, "Come in quickly!"
"Hello, sister-in-law, I'm here to see Lao Wen. Is he here?" Lu Jiangan said with a smile.
"Here, Director Lu, please sit down!" Liu Qiuhua hurriedly took a few steps to the back room, gently opened the door, "Old Wen, Director Lu is here."
"It turns out to be Deputy Director Lu!" Wen Yongqiang wiped his face and came out of the back room, throwing the towel towards Liu Qiuhua, "Is there anything you can tell me?"
After saying that, Wen Yongqiang ignored Lu Jiangan who was still standing, went directly to the table and sat down, picked up a steamed bun and took a bite.
"Old Wen, did sister-in-law tell you that?" Lu Jiangan was able to keep his composure, and didn't care about the thorny tone of the other person's tone. He sat down next to Wen Yongqiang and spoke directly.
"What...what's the matter?" Wen Yongqiang held a mouthful of steamed buns and looked at his wife with a confused look on his face.
"Oh...that..." Liu Qiuhua hesitated. She guessed that it was Lu Yang who said that, but she was afraid of saying it wrong.
"That's right," Lu Jiangan took up the topic, "I heard that your Xiaoli hasn't found a suitable place to stay in the main factory yet? She's about to start moving, and it's not appropriate for her to go there and look for it."
"..."
Wen Yongqiang's face was a little ugly, but he didn't get angry. He was still normal when he didn't drink.
Wen Yongqiang has also been very irritable about staying overnight. Although he wants a son more, Wen Xiaoli is his daughter after all, and she is usually very well-behaved.
Wen Yongqiang felt very embarrassed because he couldn't find a suitable place to stay for a long time. He usually had a bad temper and couldn't talk, so he managed to become a section chief because of his seniority. However, he wanted to find a suitable person to stay with at the main factory, so he asked some people who were a little closer to him.
They were also pushed.
"My house hasn't been decided yet, but it should be fine during the summer vacation," Lu Jiangan saw that the other party didn't speak, so he had to bring it up himself, "If you and your sister-in-law don't mind that Lu Yang is a boy, Xiaoli can stay at my house temporarily.
For half a year, I stayed in the same room with my lover."
When Liu Qiuhua saw Wen Yongqiang lowered his head and said nothing, he hurriedly said: "Okay! Okay! You don't mind. Old Wen, please say something."
"In addition, I also think that there may be employees in the workshop who have this difficulty, so I have an idea that I would like to share with everyone later. I will give you a thorough explanation in advance."
Lu Jiangan saw that although Wen Yongqiang didn't speak, his expression softened. He knew in his heart that Lu Yang's idea was indeed useful. He suddenly became more and more confident and spoke with a firmer tone.
"I think it's like this. We can count the workers in the workshop who have difficulties in this regard, and then find willing households in the main factory, or simply the workshop can use some money to rent a house to set up a nursery, such as
If Sister-in-law Qiuhua's work there has not yet been solved, we can arrange to go there first, and the workshop will pay for her to take care of the children."
These days, workshops all have small treasury. Although Lu Jiangan has no power to use it, when the time comes to bring the idea to Shu Baoge, it won’t work if he doesn’t agree. Even Lu Jiangan has thought about it and simply gives it to the factory leader.
Give this opinion.
"Ah? I'll go to the main factory first..." Liu Qiuhua didn't expect that Lu Jiangan would come up with this idea, and she was suddenly surprised and happy.
After hearing this, Wen Yongqiang also raised his head and looked at Lu Jiangan, as if he wanted to see if the other party was messing with him.
Liu Qiuhua belonged to a large collective. After she left, the factory still had no policy on how to arrange it. She originally thought about suspending her and renting a house to take care of Wen Xiaoli. However, this would put a lot of financial pressure on her and the money to choose a house would become a problem.
If Lu Jiangan's proposal can really be implemented, it would be the best.
Seeing that the other party had no objections, Lu Jiangan knew that the other party needed time to digest, so he left.
Wen Yongqiang also stood up and escorted Lu Jiangan to the door. After mumbling, he finally said a word.
"Director Lu, I support your idea."
Lu Jiangan patted Wen Yongqiang's shoulder calmly, but after turning around, a hint of joy appeared on his face involuntarily.
Then Lu Jiangan rode his bicycle to work. When he got to the workshop, he changed into work clothes and made tea. The employees who went to work also began to arrive one after another.
"Xiao Zhou, you go and inform the foundry section leader that I have something to discuss with them and ask him to summon all the squad leaders to Director Shu's office."
Zhou Hongnian left the door with a doubtful look on his face.
Lu Jiangan also got up, first looking for the heat treatment squad leaders he was familiar with and asking them to follow him, and then he found the squad leaders of the mechanical repair class and the electrician class.
At this time Wen Yongqiang also appeared in the workshop.
"Lao Wen is here," Lu Jiangan greeted with a smile, "Please ask all the squad leaders in your section to come over. I have something to discuss with you."
"Okay." Wen Yongqiang knew what Lu Jiangan was going to say, so he didn't say much and went directly to his work section to find someone.
"Hey! This drunkard changed his gender today?"
“It’s just that, I don’t even say a single word of shame.”
The squad leaders around Lu Jiangan had strange looks on their faces. Usually Wen Yongqiang was the most unruly one, even more difficult to talk to than Hou Yaopeng, the foundry section leader.
"Xiao Zhang, please stop saying a few words!"
In the heat treatment section, Lu Jiangan's words were very effective, and several squad leaders immediately stopped talking and laughing.
After a while, Wen Yongqiang came with the squad leaders from the forging section. Different from the usual chatter, these squad leaders were relatively silent today.
So a group of people followed Lu Jiangan to the foundry building opposite.
Although the reinforcement of the bridge will start soon, there are not many people in the workshop at this time. Some people who are related to Tongtian have already gone to the main factory, and some who have made excuses to slow down work have not yet come to work.
Lu Jiang Andang entered Shu Baoge's director's office first. This is a new factory building, and the conditions are much better than those of the blacksmith opposite. The desks are all brand new, and there is a long wooden sofa.
Inside, Zhou Hongnian was chatting with someone. When he saw Lu Jiangan coming, he hurriedly got up and came over.
Seeing that there were only a few people inside, Lu Jiangan asked what was going on, and Zhou Hongnian explained in a low voice.
Hou Yaopeng actually hasn't come to work yet, and there are only a few monitors in the foundry section.
Lu Jiangan didn't lose his temper either. He waved for people to sit down. However, there were so many people in the office and there were so few seats. Normally it would be noisy.
Several squad leaders in the foundry section took the seats first, whispering to each other in low voices, occasionally glancing at the people behind Lu Jiangan, but showing no intention of getting up.
However, no one from the forging section came to grab him this time. Wen Yongqiang sat in front with a low voice. Then several older squad leaders from the foundry section sat down, while the younger squad leaders stood and looked at Lu Jiangan.
Lu Jiangan didn't waste any time and spoke directly.
"That's right, the relocation will begin soon, and the children's school will also be withdrawn. I heard that there are still some employees' children in the workshop who have not arranged their places. I want to make statistics and think of a way to solve it. Our workshop will be the last to move.
Yeah, if we don’t solve this problem, we won’t be in the mood to work.”
These words seemed to sprinkle a few drops of water into the oil pan, and the room suddenly became noisy. Everyone was talking about it, and they didn't understand what kind of medicine Lu Jiangan was selling.
"Then let's talk about it first. Lao Wang, you come first." Wen Yongqiang suddenly spoke first.
The squad leader Wang who was named was also a little surprised at how cooperative his section leader was. He thought about it and shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it in my class."
With this beginning, other squad leaders in the forging section also spoke one after another.
"It seems that the son of the old Xu family in my class has not been properly arranged."
"I remember yesterday that Lao Zhang said that his daughter couldn't find a place to come."
"..."
After the forging section finished talking, the team leaders of heat treatment and mechanical repair electricians also started talking. Basically, every team has more or less needy households.
The squad leaders in the casting section remained silent, but after everything else was finished, there was a moment of silence.
A squad leader in his thirties, Chen, suddenly couldn't help but ask: "Director Lu, is it okay for children who are not in school?"
"Ah?" Lu Jiangan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Of course!"
Many monitors are only in their thirties and have young children. Although they don’t have to rush to school, the kindergartens in the factory have also been closed down. Many of these monitors are single-employee workers, so they can only leave their children with them or entrust them to others, which is also troublesome.
It would be best if it could be sent to the main factory first.
"Director Lu, my child is over five years old this year and should go to preschool, but my wife can't make it either."
With this beginning, several other casting section leaders also shared their knowledge of the situation.
"It was my fault at work. I didn't expect that there would be so many people in difficulty."
Lu Jiangan roughly calculated that it was about twenty, and his tone was a bit heavy. If his son hadn't reminded him, he would have never thought of this before.
"I have an immature idea at the moment. There is still some money in the workshop's account, but I really can't find a place to stay. Then the workshop will pay for a house and a nursery, and find a few single-employee wives to go there and take care of it."
After Lu Jiangan expressed this idea, the discussion in the room became more lively.
In this way, not only can the children go there, but also the wives can go there in advance. The senior single-employee monitors are particularly enthusiastic.
Lu Jiangan asked again if anyone had anything to add, and everyone shook their heads.
"Then let's do this for now. Each squad leader will go back and ask your class in detail. Work will start at nine o'clock later. Before then, just hand over the list to me."
Then Lu Jiangan gave instructions to the squad leaders of the foundry section: "For those squad leaders of the blacksmith section who are not here, please go and inform them."
The crowd dispersed quickly and they returned to the office. After talking so much, Lu Jiangan felt thirsty and drank tea.
"Director Lu, your idea is great, but it requires money from the workshop. Does Director Shu know about it?"
Zhou Hongnian sat in his seat and spoke with a smile.
"Xiao Zhou, this was an impromptu idea last night," Lu Jiangan shook his head and said with a smile, "I'll call Director Shu after I collect the list, otherwise I won't get the money."
