Hua Xiaoyu received the 32 yuan and excitedly walked up to Guan Wenru, "Director Guan! Director Guan! I...I..."
At the factory, she always called him "Factory Director Guan".
She was too excited to speak, and just pressed her pay bag tightly to her chest with both hands, tears streaming down her face.
Guan Wenru stood up, her eyes a little red. "Sister-in-law Xiaoyu, enough said. You've set a good example for Daya, Erya, and Xiaoya. They'll be proud of you and will know how tough it is to earn money with your own hands!"
Hua Xiaoyu nodded vigorously, "Yes! That's tough! Really tough! Director Guan, if it weren't for you leading us to run this factory, how could we women dare to dream of earning wages and becoming workers!"
After she finished speaking, another female worker next to her wiped away her tears and chimed in, "Yes, Director Guan! Before, we were always at home, working around the stove, begging our husbands for money. Now it's different! We can earn our own money! We can stand tall now! Thank you, thank you to the factory leaders!"
More and more female workers gathered around, expressing their gratitude and joy in a lively and touching manner.
Looking at the scene and then at the rapidly dwindling paychecks on the table, Wei Dayue couldn't help but smile.

Under the sunlight, the workers clutched their first factory wages tightly, their faces beaming with unprecedented radiance and hope for the future.
Guan Wenru looked at them and showed a relieved and determined smile.
...
With the wages issue resolved, Guan Wenru returned to her office and was about to take out paper and pen to calculate the number of cattle and sheep and the amount of feed for several communes.
Just then, the telephone on the desk rang sharply.
Ever since she received He Yanzhi's call, Guan Wenru gets excited every time the phone rings and immediately picks it up, saying, "Hello, this is the feed processing plant manager's office."
She was filled with anticipation, hoping that He Yanzhi was on the other end of the phone.
Unfortunately, she's going to be disappointed.
The serious and urgent voice of the military commander Zhang Zhongwu came through the receiver, "Xiao Guan, it's me, Zhang Zhongwu!"
"!" Guan Wenru was taken aback, immediately sat up straight, and his expression became serious. "Commander, is there something you need?"
Zhang Zhongwu's tone was unusually grave. "Xiao Guan, I've already sent a driver to pick you up. Drop everything you're doing right now! Go back to Family Compound No. 1 immediately!"
Guan Wenru's heart skipped a beat, and a strong sense of unease instantly gripped her. "Commander, has something happened to my grandmother?"
