Chapter 246: Eating Melon in the Contemporary Literature (Fifty-eight)
Han Tiexin completely lost interest in Xiao Yongming and the other kids.
On this day, Xiao Yongming, as usual, dragged his younger brothers and sisters, waiting at the factory gate obediently and pitifully.
"We're here to pick up Aunt Han from get off work!"
"Yeah! We love Aunt Han so much!"
"Auntie likes us too. She even bought us some peach cakes yesterday!"
"The peach cake is delicious! I want more!"
Xiao Yongming and the other four little rascals didn't just squat and wait. Instead, they would take the initiative to chat with employees coming and going.
As a result, everyone felt more and more that Han Tiexin and Xiao Guodong were about to get married.
Han Tiexin stood silently at the gate of the machinery factory, watching Xiao Yongming, with a well-behaved and sensible expression, chatting with employees he knew and didn't know.
She sighed once again: Oh, is this really a twelve-year-old child? "It seems! I have to make up my mind!"
We must cut ties with the Xiao family as soon as possible, otherwise we will be entangled.
Han Tiexin clenched her fists tightly. Instead of continuing to walk out, she turned around and went back to the factory.
She made her way to the office area and found her leader.
"Leader, I had a kiss with Director Xiao, but I felt it was inappropriate, so I told Director Xiao clearly."
"But Director Xiao's child seems to have misunderstood. He comes to see me every day regardless of my explanation!"
"But I can understand that the children are hungry all day long, and I feel sorry for them and buy them some food."
"...Leader, you have to take care of this matter. Director Xiao is dedicated to the public and selfless, but you can't ignore the children."
"He is relieved, but the child is entangled with me. I am an unmarried young woman, how can I find a partner?"
Han Tiexin deliberately acted as if he was determined to go all out and said a lot of things without caring about anything.
The leader's face suddenly darkened.
In fact, he was also somewhat dissatisfied with what Xiao Guodong had done.
Yes, we should indeed talk about dedication and put the collective interests above our own.
However, Xiao Guodong's "everyone" is obviously different from the real meaning.
The people he helped might not really be unable to survive.
At least his wife and children are still alive and well.
But Xiao Guodong's wife was starved to death.
There are also four children of the Xiao family, who are also famous in the family area.
I was hungry every day and always wanted to go to my neighbor's house for a free meal.
The leader once asked Director Feng to talk to Xiao Guodong.
Unfortunately, the results were minimal! Xiao Guodong still looked righteous and awe-inspiring, talking about morality and justice, which made Director Feng look selfish and narrow-minded!
Director Feng: ...This person is either a very kind person or a very evil person! There is nothing he can do.
The leader was also very angry.
He is a leader, but he cannot interfere in his employees' family affairs.
Furthermore, the Xiao family did not cause any trouble, so the leaders turned a blind eye.
It’s no use now. Master Han has come directly to us. The leader can’t just try to smooth things over!
There just happened to be a suitable "reason"! "Master Han, you should go home first. Let the factory handle this matter!"
The leader gave Han Tiexin some gentle advice.
Then he shouted to the people in the office, "Go, call Director Feng!"
"Oh, and Director Xiao! Call him over as well!"
Seeing that the leader had gone to find Xiao Guodong, the real boss, Han Tiexin left with peace of mind.
Xiao Yongming and four other children came to the office with puzzled looks on their faces.
They didn't wait for Han Tiexin, but met the leader.
The leader carefully asked Xiao Yongming about some situations, and then scolded Xiao Guodong who came over.
"It's good to want to help others, but you can't let the children starve!"
"Look at your little kid, he's already four years old this year, but he still looks like a two or three year old!"
"And your daughter, if I remember correctly, is the child of Lao Chang's family. Lao Chang died in the line of duty, and the factory originally wanted to find a good family to raise her, but you said that you had a good relationship with Lao Chang and took the initiative to ask to take her back to your own home."
"Is this how you take care of the orphans of martyrs? Is this how you get along with Old Chang?"
The leader was really angry.
Just now, Director Feng specifically reminded him that among Xiao Guodong's four children, the third was adopted.
The third child’s biological parents are both employees in the factory.
The third child’s biological mother went to actively support the Third Front just one year after giving birth to her child. She had an accident on the way and died on the spot.
At the end of the same year, the third brother's father unfortunately died while trying to save the equipment in the factory.
It can be said that both her biological parents were martyrs who died in the line of duty.
The machinery factory has a policy of caring for the orphans of martyrs.
It was Xiao Guodong who took the initiative to come forward and said that he and Lao Chang were good friends, and that his wife and Lao Chang's wife were also good sisters, and he was willing to take in Lao Chang's orphan.
Xiao Guodong has a good reputation and his wife is also a capable and kind person.
After consultation, the leaders felt that handing the child over to the Xiao couple was a good choice.
So, Lao Chang's daughter became the adopted daughter of the Xiao family.
Along with her, she was sent to the Xiao family along with the two rooms left by Lao Chang and a pension of three hundred yuan.
And Xiao Guodong used all of these little by little to do good deeds.
He sold the other person's house, spent the other person's money, and still made the other person's only daughter look pale and thin! This Xiao Guodong is simply not a good person! In the past, the leaders neglected it, and now that someone has made a fuss, the leaders have also dug up all these old accounts.
Xiao Sanmei: ...
She was stunned!
It turns out that she is not the daughter of the Xiao family. Her biological parents are martyrs and they left her a house and money!
"Leader! I, I don't want to stay in the Xiao family anymore!"
"Woo woo, I want my real dad, I want my real mom!"
Xiao Sanmei, oh no, it was Chang Xiaoya who couldn't stop crying.
The leaders are overwhelmed!
However, the orphans of the martyrs must not be treated unfairly anymore.
He thought about it carefully and remembered that there was a new engineer in the factory who had been married for many years but had no children.
Otherwise, just hand Chang Xiaoya over to them?
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Of course, this still needs to be discussed carefully with the parties involved.
"Xiao Guodong, you heard it all! The little girl doesn't want to stay in the Xiao family anymore!"
"You gave up Lao Chang's house and donated the pension. These belong to the little girl, not to you!"
Damn it, what kind of people are these?
Using other people's money to buy yourself a reputation! Disgusting! Shameless! The leader really hated Xiao Guodong, and was not polite to him at all, "How about this, the house is converted to 200 yuan, and you have to pay the little girl a total of 500 yuan!"
The leader gave the five hundred yuan to Xiao Ya to save. If she couldn't find a suitable family to adopt her, she could just take her home.
Anyway, five hundred yuan is enough to support a little girl of seven or eight years old.
When she is fifteen years old, I will arrange for her to work in the factory.
Both parents are old employees who died in the line of duty, so they can receive special care!
Xiao Guodong was dumbfounded: "...Five hundred yuan! He, he doesn't have five hundred yuan."
"If not! I'll deduct it from your salary every month!"
The boss got annoyed when he saw Xiao Guodong's face, so he didn't bother to talk to him and directly told the finance department: "Every month when you pay the salary, just give half to Chang Xiaoya!"
Xiao Guodong is the workshop director. With various subsidies, he earns nearly 80 yuan a month.
Just take out forty of them and deduct them for a year, and you will be able to pay them off!
Xiao Guodong: …
Xiao Yongming was stunned.
However, after seeing his father being scolded like a grandson in front of the leader, he seemed to "come to his senses".
Yes, you can find a leader!
Chang Xiaoya was temporarily adopted by her leader. The Xiao family had one less child, but became more lively.
Xiao Guodong's salary was all planned out well——
Half of it was sent home, and of the remaining half, a small amount was kept for expenses and the rest was donated.
But now, half of the salary has to be given to Chang Xiaoya.
The money in my hometown can only be compressed into ten yuan.
And the food and drinks for the whole family would cost at least ten dollars.
Xiao Guodong wanted to do good things again, but he felt powerless.
People in my hometown were used to receiving thirty or forty yuan in "extra income" every month, but suddenly that amount was cut by more than half, and they were all furious.
Father Xiao came directly to the door with his two sons.
No matter how the father and his two sons cried poor or threatened, Xiao Guodong refused to give in.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to, but he really has no money.
Xiao's father immediately got furious and started cursing in the staff quarters, calling him an unfilial son, an ungrateful person, and calling him all the most nasty names he could.
He completely ignored the efforts his son had made over the past twenty years.
This is human nature. After being filial for a lifetime, if there is one thing that does not satisfy parents, he is an unfilial son! Xiao Guodong was ashamed and aggrieved. For the sake of face, he had to give in to his father and agreed to increase the salary by another five yuan! This was already his limit.
Xiao's father was still not satisfied - from 40 yuan a month, it was reduced to 15 yuan a month, but he was still an unfilial son! However, seeing Xiao Guodong's desperate face, Xiao's father knew that his son was probably really out of money.
There was no result from the commotion, so Xiao's father had to leave cursing.
The salary for his hometown was increased by five yuan, but the total amount of money was fixed, so Xiao Guodong had to cut down on the expenses at home.
Xiao Yongming exploded!
He dragged his two younger brothers directly to find the leader. He didn't make a fuss, he just cried.
The youngest, Xiao Xiaosi, fainted in the office due to malnutrition.
lead:……
Damn, is this the end?
The leader issued an ultimatum to Xiao Guodong: "If you let your children go hungry again, you will be disqualified from participating in various election campaigns!"
The leader was really powerful and hit Xiao Guodong's vital point at once.
He would rather suffer hardship and do good deeds, just for the sake of honor.
Xiao Guodong can use his "good popularity" to win votes, but if the leaders cut off his participation, he will not get those honors!
There was no choice but for Xiao Guodong to give in.
If we can’t cut the money for raising children, we can only reduce the “donations” for helping others.
"Lao Zhang, I'm sorry, I really have no money! How about I lend you fifty cents first?"
"Director Xiao, you are really disgusting me! If you don't want to lend me money, just say so! Ha, I asked you to borrow five dollars, and you just gave me fifty cents? You are treating me like a beggar!"
Gradually, those people in the factory who had been desperately promoting Xiao Guodong as a good person began to complain dissatisfiedly: "That Xiao Guodong, he only knows how to pretend, but he is actually very stingy and doesn't know how to help others at all..."
