Chapter 411: Couple Wins Award

In the south in winter, it is usually coldest in the morning and evening. He Yuan woke up in the morning and checked Chen Qing's body, especially her hands and feet. He felt relieved only after he could feel her normal temperature.

After getting out of bed and opening the door, He Yuan discovered that He Yuxiang had gotten up early, with red and swollen eyes. He did not expose He Yuxiang, but went to wash up first and then went to make steamed cakes.

When Xiaoyu woke up, she was wearing thick clothes and was still a little dazed. Her body was swaying like a little penguin.

She yawned.

Go get a cup of warm water and brush your teeth.

My brother always boils the warm water because he gets up the earliest.

Baring her teeth, Xiaoyu brushed them clean, then pulled the towel off the clothesline, put it in the basin of hot water, wrung it, and rubbed her face all over, washed the towel, and hung it back up.

After cleaning up, Xiaoyu felt full of energy: "Brother, what should I do?"

"Wash the vegetables and fry them for my uncle later and put them in the lunch box."

"oh oh."

Xiaoyu scooped water into the vegetable basin, broke the mustard greens into pieces and scrubbed them.

There has been frost in the mornings recently, and the mustard greens are very sweet.

He Yuan prepared a meat dish, took Xiaoyu's mustard greens, cut them, fried them, and put them in the lunch boxes of the two children. He also filled their water bottles with water. Thinking of Chen Qing's words, he warned Xiaoyu: "Remember to finish the water."

Xiaoyu’s biggest shortcoming is that she doesn’t drink water.

It’s okay in the summer, but in the winter the kettle will have the same amount of water when it goes out as when it comes back.

Xiaoyu said "Oh".

What she wanted to remember in her mind, she forgot when she went to school...

He Yuxiang was helpless about his sister's refusal to drink water.

He tried to block his sister in every class.

But it was like she was playing a game with him and wouldn't let him catch her.

He Yuan went out to buy some soy milk as it would take some time to steam the cake, and only after he came back did he call Chen Qing to get up.

Chen Qing opened one eye, thinking about what happened last night, and wanted to reach out and strangle him, but as soon as his hand came out of the quilt, he felt cold, so he quickly retracted his hand: "Why is it so cold today?"

“It’s cooled down.”

He Yuan said, and took advantage of her unpreparedness to lift the quilt.

Chen Qing's pupils suddenly shrank: "He Yuan!!!"

She gritted her teeth.

Xiaoyu, who was outside the house, looked towards her aunt's room and said to her brother, "It's great that my uncle is home."

He Yuxiang: "Yes..."

Their aunt is a bed-sitter in winter.

In order to sleep a little longer, I can sacrifice breakfast.

He was simply the laziest person he had ever seen.

Chen Qingsheng was dragged by He Yuan to brush his teeth and wash his face helplessly. When he came to the dining table, he saw the brown sugar cake and soy milk on the table and really admired his energy.

I go to bed late and get up early, and I am in better spirits than her.

Scientific research is a job that really suits him!

A natural born scientific researcher.

After eating and drinking, Chen Qing went to work with He Yuan.

After arriving at the entrance of the machinery factory, the two separated. Chen Qing returned to the office and started working.

At the end of the year, Chen Qing is busier than usual. He assists the personnel department in selecting model workers, technical innovators, and worker representatives to go to the capital, and he also selects good representatives to attend meetings within the province.

The workshops recommend and the factory committees select, and the provincial industry department makes the final review.

But generally the factory committee has set the tone that as long as the list of award winners can pass the political review, they can all win the award.

Huang Xinpeng received a notice from the institute yesterday and showed the newly drawn up list to Chen Qing: "Director, please take another look at the new list I prepared."

Chen Qing took a look and saw He Yuan's name on the list.

He won the Daqing Technological Innovation Award for Industry.

"Recommended by the research institute?"

"Yes, Director Mao specifically told me that."

"That's no problem." Chen Qing felt that since Mao Jianguo had mentioned this specifically, he must have told him that he could apply, otherwise Mao Jianguo would not have dared to say that to Huang Xinpeng.

She checked the list again.

Since last year's Model Worker awards were fair, open and just, many people actively vie for the title of Model Worker this year, so the competition is fierce.

But no matter how intense the competition is, there are still criteria for judging.

In addition to the initial political review, the rest is judged by three parts: production efficiency, technological innovation, and resource conservation.

The title of model worker is not obtained simply by doing the most work. It means being a national model worker, and one needs to use one's brain as well as one's hands.

Chen Qing approved it and said, "Take two people with you to the Provincial Department of Industry and report our list."

"good."

Huang Xinpeng saw that the director's husband won the technical innovation award and she was a worker representative, so he thought that this couple was really amazing.

After Huang Xinpeng left, Chen Qing also began to consider the time of this trip to the capital.

This year's Spring Festival falls on February 15th, and the award ceremony will be held on February 5th.

Because if it's too early it will hinder the delivery work at the end of the year, and if it's too late it will delay the spring ploughing. It's just right before the Spring Festival, so everyone can get the prize and go home to show off.

She and He Yuan both needed to go to the capital to receive the award, so that they could take their two children for a stroll. However, there was still a month to prepare, so there was no rush.

Secretary Liu suddenly knocked on the door: "Director, our factory director is here to see you."

“Yoho.”

Chen Qing stood up.

This is really rare.

She followed Secretary Liu upstairs and asked, "Director Liu is no longer angry?"

"Ha ha."

Secretary Liu was embarrassed.

The factory director was so angry that he scolded Chen Qing again and again in the office.

Saying she doesn't know what's good for her.

He secured the position of deputy factory director for Chen Qing, but was severely criticized by Chen Qing!

Chen Qing came to the director's office and sat down with a straight face. "Director Liu, tell me what you want me to do. Don't beat around the bush, just get straight to the point."

Liu Guang's cheeks were shaking with anger. He had never seen anyone so disrespectful to the factory director. He took a deep breath and said, "You can't go to the garment factory at the next Canton Fair. You have to find a way for the machinery factory. As one of the main persons in charge of the Canton Fair, it is against the rules for you to go to the garment factory."

Last time she was the deputy director and was not in charge of the external coordination department, so it was reasonable for her to help the garment factory.

But now she is the director and an important person in setting up the Canton Fair stage.

Chen Qing: "It's okay for me not to go to the garment factory, but I can't make plans for the machinery factory. The factory committee is mainly responsible for setting up the stage. I can build the stage as well as I can, but you are a heavy industry, and everything depends on strength. It's not like light industry has a lot of added value. Don't count on me to make foreign exchange for the machinery factory."

Seeing that she was very determined despite her young age, Liu Guangsheng frowned so hard that he could kill a fly: "Then you ask He Yuan to perform well."

Chen Qing: "The factory committee has the obligation to help researchers, but it has no right to discipline them. If the factory director needs help from the research institute, he can go directly to them."

Liu Guangsheng became even angrier. If he could have a good negotiation with He Yuan, why would he have looked for Chen Qing!

As soon as He Yuan arrived at the machinery factory today, he called people over, hoping that He Yuan could shine on the stage of the Canton Fair like he did last year.

But He Yuan himself didn't like sales, and he had also taken on a new task and didn't need to go to the Canton Fair anymore, so he refused.

Without He Yuan, Liu Guangsheng lacked confidence in earning foreign exchange.

It turns out that he is the former factory director’s man.

Not close to him at all!
