Xu Xiangyang carried his things back home and bought some things for his family.
He didn't ask if we needed money when I went home last time. This time he didn't earn as much from work either, so I don't know if we have enough money at home.
"I don't need to pay!" Wang Xiumin pushed him away, refusing the money he offered.
Xu Xiangyang frowned, somewhat helplessly. How could this be like visiting someone's home, then offering money to the child and the parents refusing it, leading to a push-and-shove situation?
They've started tearing each other apart; anyone who didn't know better would think they weren't family.
At this point, Wang Zhongshan couldn't stand it anymore and said, "You've got to do it, Xiumin. Just take what the child gave you. That way, Xiangyang can work outside with peace of mind."
He knew that if he didn't accept the money today, Xu Xiangyang would still be eyeing it.
It's a good thing that the child is thinking about home. He brought the money back, and with money at home, he can rest assured when he's away from home.
Xu Xiangyang thought so too. Otherwise, he wouldn't be home, and communication would be particularly inconvenient at this time. If something happened at home and they urgently needed money, where would they borrow it from?
Even though they've been here for a year, it might not be so easy for their neighbors to borrow money from them.
“That’s right, Mom, take this. It’ll be good to have some money for emergencies at home.” He said, stuffing the money into Wang Xiumin’s pocket.
Wang Xiumin had no choice but to accept the money.
She also felt sorry for her son, as he gave all the money he earned to the family and didn't keep any for himself.
However, she wouldn't spend it recklessly. The money Xu Guangtian earned at home was enough to live on, and she would keep the money Xu Xiangyang gave her, saving it for Xu Xiangyang to use when he got married.
This money isn't easy to earn, so how could I possibly spend it recklessly?
Xu Xiangyang had no idea what she was thinking. If she knew that the money was being saved for his wedding, she would stop giving money to the family.
Just buy whatever you need, and keep a little pocket money for yourself.
I'm scared, I'm scared.
With the goods delivered and the money paid, Xu Xiangyang returned to the restaurant to find Zhang Lianhe, feeling relieved.
The two hitched a ride on a fellow villager's oxcart and went straight back.
Since they didn't bring their car this time, the two of them ended up in a rather disheveled state.
The next morning, he and Zhang Lianhe each rode off on a bicycle.
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to have to put up with Director Ma's attitude over there, Xu Xiangyang wouldn't have bothered with all this back and forth.
After all, staying there or resting there is the most convenient option.
But that won't work now. That Director Ma is a real jerk; we can't stay there.
Who knows if this person will take a dislike to him and try to trip him up again.
Upon arriving at the construction site, Xu Xiangyang cleverly put on a hat as well, and the two of them wore them.
If I come here often in the future and don't take good care of myself, what if I get tanned and become ugly?
So when he went to the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday, he bought a hat and gloves.
Although Xu Xiangyang felt that he was more handsome than others even though he was a little dark-skinned, he thought he would be even more handsome if he were fair-skinned.
"Brother Yang, I'm going to the finance department. I'll come find you around noon." Zhang Lianhe had other work to do, so he couldn't stay with him all the time.
Besides, he's not Xu Xiangyang's assistant; following him is useless.
Xu Xiangyang nodded and told him to get back to work.
Just then, the assistant that Director Ma had assigned to him the day before arrived again.
"Secretary Xu, Director Ma needs to see you. He's in that shed over there." He pointed to a small shed not far away.
These are all temporary structures; there are many similar sheds nearby.
Xu Xiangyang nodded and then followed.
No matter what, he's now the minor leader of this wasteland. Although I'm nominally Liao Shichang's stand-in, I'm not actually him.
Whether Director Ma wants to be polite to him depends on his mood.
Even so, it doesn't mean that Xu Xiangyang is afraid of him.
After all, it was Director Liao who was in charge of him, not Director Ma. At most, Director Liao might dislike him and give him a hard time, but he wouldn't dare to do anything else.
When we arrived at the work shed, there were several people looking at blueprints and discussing something.
After Xu Xiangyang arrived, Director Ma's expression calmed down.
"Secretary Xu is here. Come in, it's windy outside." He smiled and waved.
That smile could be described as a forced smile, and it looked quite awkward.
Xu Xiangyang didn't care and walked straight in.
If I ignore your expression, you'll always be the one who feels awkward!
Xu Xiangyang: Brilliant!
Director Ma looked at him with a forced smile and slowly said, "I heard you had some complaints about our blueprints yesterday?"
Yesterday, of course, the assistant told him the truth. They were all in the same group, so if someone said something bad, they would naturally tell the boss.
Although Xu Xiangyang despised this behavior, he was not afraid. He had already said it, so what?
He smiled and said, "Director Ma, I did say a few words, but I didn't mean any harm."
What bad intentions could such a handsome guy have?
Director Ma, however, was not so sure. "Secretary Xu, if you have any opinions, just say them. We're all on the same side, so you should definitely offer your suggestions."
Although that's what he said, he didn't think much of Xu Xiangyang at all.
What suggestions do you have? I can't even understand the blueprints.
Do you really think that just because you've gained Liao Shichang's favor, you can come here and give orders? What are you thinking?
He was still too young and didn't understand anything.
Xu Xiangyang seemed oblivious to the disdain shown towards him, and said with a troubled expression, "Since Director Ma insists that I speak, then I will say a few words."
Upon hearing this, the others exchanged glances.
What's wrong? Is it climbing up a cat shelf just because you give it one?
Xu Xiangyang walked over to the blueprints and pointed to a spot, saying, "This place is a potential fire hazard as a warehouse, and it's also difficult to move assets here. Look, the canteen is right next to us, and canteens have open flames, which is very dangerous."
After saying that, he pointed to the canteen, "This is the canteen. It not only affects the warehouse, but the ventilation is also poor, which will easily cause the food to be affected by the smoke. I don't know what factory this blueprint originally belonged to, but it is definitely not suitable for a garment factory."
"It looks more like a steel mill to me; this machine room is too big."
After a few words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
The most important part is actually the last sentence.
"How do you know these are blueprints for a steel plant?" one of the men asked, still in shock.
Director Ma looked very unhappy, after all, he had just been looking down on this person.
But even if you understand it, so what?
"So what if you know? Who said that using the canteen as a warehouse would definitely cause a fire? You have a problem with your thinking!" Director Ma immediately escalated the issue to a matter of ideology.
Xu Xiangyang was not afraid, but replied, "Director Ma, even if this canteen will not be affected, there is no need to build the factory like this."
“Our garment factory is not like other factories, so this blueprint is really not suitable.”
He wouldn't say exactly why it wasn't suitable, but he just said that my drawings were no good and couldn't be used for a garment factory.
