After his coworkers returned to their posts, Lei Yongkang took a walk around the factory yard, still thinking about Hua Xiaoyu's move.
He saw Xiao Li and Xiao Wang from the security department sitting in the guard room at the entrance reading newspapers…
Two young men from the transport team were resting in the shade after unloading the goods…
The experienced mechanics from the repair team were also taking a break and smoking at the entrance of the tool shed...
After thinking for a moment, Lei Yongkang strode over, clapped his hands, and said, "Hey! You guys, if you're not busy, come over here!"
Upon hearing the sound, several people immediately stood up and gathered around.
Xiao Li from the security department looked puzzled. "Deputy Factory Director Lei, what are the instructions?"
The transport team leader, Liu, was also a little excited. "Lei Tou'er, is there a temporary mission?"
The experienced repairman was in a battle-ready stance, asking, "What's wrong, Director Lei? Which machine is broken down again?"
Lei Yongkang chuckled and waved his hand, "The machine is working perfectly. Here's the thing, you all know about Comrade Hua Xiaoyu from our factory, right? She just finished the formalities today and is moving from the compound to our factory's new dormitory building this afternoon with her three children."
It's not easy for her to raise a child alone. We're all comrades in the revolution, so we should help each other.
I was thinking... before they arrive, let's go and clean the room assigned to her, so that they don't have to do this after a long day."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately understood.
Xiao Chen from the transport team immediately responded, "No problem, Lei Tou! It's the right thing to do! Sister Hua is usually a very nice person, we can't just stand by and watch her suffer!"
Xiao Wang from the security department nodded in agreement, "Yes! It's just a matter of lending a hand!"
"We should help them out; that house has been empty for a while, and it's probably quite dusty."
Seeing that no one had any objections, Lei Yongkang smiled and said, "Alright! Let's not delay any longer! Xiao Li, go to the storeroom and get a few brooms and rags."
Liu and Chen, you two are good at walking, go and fetch two buckets of water.
"Master Zhou, you're very experienced. Please take a close look inside to see if the light bulbs are working, if the water pipes are clear, and if the drains are clogged."
He made the arrangements meticulously, and the group immediately split up to carry out their tasks.
Before long, led by Lei Yongkang, they arrived at the door of the two-bedroom dormitory room assigned to Hua Xiaoyu.
Lei Yongkang took out his key and opened the door. "Be quick and efficient. Try to finish before they move in. Be careful and wipe all the dust off the corners."
After saying that, he went in first, his sharp eyes scanning the room.
Instead of grabbing tools, he went straight to the windows and the front and back doors, reached out and pushed the window frames hard, and opened and closed the doors several times to check if the latches and locks were secure and reliable.
Repairman Zhou had already started checking the faucet in the corner. He turned it on and saw that water was flowing. Seeing Lei Yongkang's actions, he smiled and said, "Director Lei, you're checking even more thoroughly than we are!"
Lei Yongkang didn't turn his head and continued to try the window latch. "Hmm, I have to check. She lives alone with three little girls. Safety is the most important thing."
These doors and windows must be sturdy so I can sleep soundly at night!
"Master Zhou, after you've finished inspecting the plumbing, could you also check these window latches for me? Tighten any that are loose, or replace them."
Master Zhou: "Okay! Don't worry!"
On the other side, Liu and Chen from the transport team had already started spraying water to suppress the dust.
Xiao Li and Xiao Wang from the security department were diligently sweeping away cobwebs and dust from the corners of the roof and walls with large brooms and dusters.
The room immediately became lively, filled with the atmosphere of comrades working together.
After checking the doors and windows, Lei Yongkang looked up at the light bulb on the ceiling and said to Xiao Wang, who was wiping the lampshade, "Xiao Wang, check if the light is bright enough and if the wattage is sufficient. If not, we'll get a brighter one tomorrow. It's bad for the eyes of women doing needlework at night or for children doing homework."
Xiao Wang immediately nodded, "Understood, Lei Tou'er!"
Lei Yong looked around the room, which was gradually becoming bright and clean, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.
He thought to himself that if Comrade Hua Xiaoyu brought the child over, at least there would be a clean, safe, and warm place for them.
......
About an hour later, Guan Wenru drove the military green Jeep, carrying Hua Xiaoyu and her three daughters, as well as a small amount of luggage, into the open space below the factory dormitory building.
As soon as the car came to a stop, I heard busy noises coming from upstairs.
Before they could even get out of the car, Lei Yongkang led several colleagues from the security department, transportation team, and maintenance team out of the building.
With a hearty smile, Lei Yongkang waved his hand and said, "Comrades, lend a hand! Help Comrade Xiaoyu carry her luggage upstairs!"
Several men immediately stepped forward, enthusiastically opened the trunk of the jeep, and began unloading luggage and packages.
Hua Xiaoyu quickly got out of the car, feeling both grateful and embarrassed. "Oh! Deputy Factory Director Lei, this...this is too much trouble for everyone! We can carry it ourselves..."
Lei Yongkang waved his hand dismissively, "What's the trouble! We're all comrades-in-arms, and we work in the same factory. Helping each other out is only natural! Don't be so polite!"
Guan Wenru got out of the car and said, "It's fine to ask men for help; it's all about mutual assistance."
Hua Xiaoyu was deeply moved and quickly thanked everyone. She patted the three children and said, "Quickly say thank you to the uncles and elders."
The two girls, Daya, Erya, and Xiaoya, were a little timid, but they all spoke up sensibly, "Thank you, Uncle... Thank you, Grandpa..."
Lei Yongkang and the others waved their hands with smiles, "You're welcome, you're welcome!"
As Lei Yongkang spoke, he personally lifted up what looked like the heaviest bundle.
