At 4 p.m., the group arrived at the main gate of the courtyard house.
"Dajiang, you're back."
Yan Bugui saw Sun Dajiang's family returning from afar, and he immediately stopped playing chess and rushed over to greet them.
“Uncle, if he doesn’t come back soon, there won’t be any more buses, and the children have to go to school tomorrow.”
Yan Bugui was a little disappointed to see that Sun Dajiang's hands were empty. Then he looked at Sun Zhengguo and the others beside him, who were carrying luggage and there was also an unfamiliar young man. He then pointed at Sun Zhengdong and asked.
"Dajiang, is this your relative? I've never seen him before."
"Oh! I forgot to introduce him. This is my nephew, named Sun Zhengdong. Please take care of him in the future."
After Sun Dajiang finished speaking, he called Sun Zhengdong to his side.
"Xiao Dong, this is the third uncle in the courtyard, say hello."
"Hello, Uncle San!"
"Hey! Hello, hello."
“Come here, Xiao Dong. This is your eldest uncle, this is your second eldest uncle, and this is Xu Damao. Call him brother…”
"Hello, Uncle Da, Uncle Er, Brother Da Mao..."
There were seven people playing and watching chess at the entrance. After Sun Dajiang introduced them and greeted them, he took his family home.
After Sun Dajiang left, the people who were playing chess started chatting.
"Hey! Why do you think Sun Dajiang brought his nephew over here?"
An old man next to me asked.
“What else could we do? The factory gave us a job as a bonus, but Sun Dajiang gave it to his nephew. So, we brought him here from the countryside.”
Liu Haizhong said from the side.
Actually, apart from Liu Haizhong, no one in the compound really knew who the lucky one was about to get the job.
This was revealed by Liu Haizhong. The people next to him nodded and didn't say anything sarcastic. After all, it was perfectly normal for someone to give it to their own nephew.
However, Yan Bugui's reaction was different.
At this moment, Yan Bugui felt a sense of pleasure from "losing and getting back". Although he did not really get it, Liu Lao Er did not get it either.
Thinking of this, Yan Bugui suddenly felt enlightened. He grabbed Liu Haizhong, who was about to go home, and started chatting again.
This left Liu Haizhong somewhat confused, with a feeling that this old man had some ill intentions today.
...
At Sun Dajiang's house, after a brief period of hesitation and unease, Sun Zhengdong had now completely relaxed.
His aunt and uncle cared for him a lot, and his cousins were very welcoming to him. Right now, his aunt was busy preparing dinner, while his cousins were eating snacks and happily commenting on their taste.
For dinner that evening, Lin Wencui prepared braised pork again. Sun Zhengdong found it incredible that he could eat braised pork twice in one day. What could be happier than that?
Yes, Sun Zhengdong's happiness is that simple! This also represents the characteristics of this era.
After the meal, the children played and frolicked for a while before being sent off to rest. After all, they had been traveling all day and were quite tired, and they had to go to school the next day!
The following day, Sun Dajiang's group expanded again, from three to four people. The group talked all the way to the steel rolling mill.
Only after presenting a series of certificates was Sun Zhengdong allowed to enter the factory.
After entering the factory, Lin Wencui went to the Women's Federation, while Sun Dajiang and the others went to the electrical engineering department.
After assigning tasks, he introduced his nephew to everyone, who applauded and welcomed him.
After finishing everything, Sun Dajiang brought his nephew to the personnel department.
Not long after Deputy Section Chief Wang of the Personnel Department arrived at work, he saw Sun Dajiang bringing a young man over. Looking at the young man's features, which bore a resemblance to Sun Dajiang, he jokingly remarked...
"Hey! Section Chief Sun, what a rare guest! Your son isn't in school today, why did you bring him to the factory?"
"You rascal Wang Tietou, teasing me first thing in the morning. This is my nephew, he's starting work today. I'm entrusting him to you, otherwise next time you come to my place, there won't be any good tea."
After Sun Dajiang finished speaking, he took out a letter of introduction and handed it to Deputy Section Chief Wang.
Deputy Section Chief Wang's real name was Wang Quan'an. He participated in the Korean War and suffered a severe head injury during the Tieyuan blocking battle. He was later fitted with a steel plate and survived. From then on, he was nicknamed "Iron Head Wang".
Besides Director Nie, Sun Dajiang's closest friend at the steel rolling mill was Wang Quan'an, so the two spoke without any reservations and were very direct.
After receiving Sun Dajiang's letter of introduction, Wang Quan'an arranged for his subordinates to handle the matter while he brewed tea on the side.
"Old Sun, come and have some tea. It's not as good as your tea, but please bear with me."
Wang Quan'an said.
"What are you talking about, Lao Wang? Do you think I'm that kind of person? If you like my tea, I'll give you some next time."
Sun Dajiang said, feigning anger.
"Thanks in advance, bro, I'll take it seriously, haha!"
Wang Quan'an looked smug, and Sun Dajiang exclaimed, "We've been tricked!"
"Oh! By the way, Lao Wang, do you know about the factory's housing allocation policy?"
"Isn't that right? Your nephew just arrived for his first day, and you're already thinking about assigning him a room? Are you out of your mind?"
After Wang Quan'an finished speaking, he exaggeratedly reached out his hand, preparing to touch Sun Dajiang's head to see if he had a fever.
"Go away, I'm not talking about this nephew, but Wen Cui's nephew. He joined the company two years ago, and you were the one who helped him with the application back then."
"Oh! It's him! I remember him, his name is Lin Jiguo, right?"
"Yes, yes, let's name him Lin Jiguo, how about it? Can he apply for housing?"
Wang Quan'an thought for a moment, then shook his head and said.
“It’s difficult, very difficult! Do you know how many people in the factory are waiting for housing? He’s only worked there for two years, it’s impossible, unless, unless…”
"Unless what? Tell me already! You're driving me crazy!"
Sun Dajiang urged.
"Li Huaide, the logistics director."
Wang Quan'an only said a few words and then fell silent, but Sun Dajiang already understood that he was being asked to find Li Huaide to pull strings.
Seeing that Sun Dajiang was deep in thought, Wang Quan'an reminded him again.
"I heard that Director Nie and Director Li have a good relationship. You can ask Director Nie about it."
"Okay, thanks for the reminder, brother. Come to my place for tea next time, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
After finishing their business, the two started chatting casually.
Before long, the nephew's onboarding was finished, and he even received his work uniform. Sun Dajiang made an appointment with Wang Quan'an for tea next time, and then took his nephew back to the electrical engineering department.
Next, a mentor was arranged for his nephew, Liang Dafa, and the rest was handed over to Lin Jiguo, who was to take him around and familiarize him with everything in the factory.
We will strive to help Sun Zhengdong integrate into his work as quickly as possible.
In his office, Sun Dajiang was pondering Wang Quan'an's words.
To be honest, he didn't really like people like Li Huaide; he always felt that such people were too utilitarian.
Sun Dajiang's feeling was correct, but nothing is absolute.
If Son Jung-guk were standing here, he would definitely say something.
"This guy is alright; at least he can actually get things done for you once he's paid."
Sun Dajiang needs to think about it for now!
