Many people have been talking about Old Chen behind his back today, saying that after his ex-wife left him, his career has flourished and he is now about to become a leader in the factory.
When he heard this, he glared at the other person, causing people to secretly say that he was narrow-minded. No wonder he was abandoned by the excellent Comrade Xia.
Once upon a time, they also said that it was stupid of Old Lady Xia to not want such an outstanding person like Chen Weiguo.
The voting results came out on the spot, and there was no doubt that Old Lady Xia defeated the others with an overwhelming number of votes.
When the results came out, Old Lady Xia sat on the ground in a daze. Although she felt that she had a good chance of winning, when the position really fell on her, she still felt a little unreal, as if she was in a dream.
Director Yuan pulled her aside to say a thank-you speech, and she was dragged out of the auditorium in a daze. Many people congratulated her along the way, even many male comrades began to congratulate her.
She appeared at the door in a daze.
"It's over, it's over. Mom will definitely not be selected in this condition." Chen Xiangbei pulled Chen Xianghong and pointed at Old Lady Xia in the factory.
Chen Xianghong was panicked. Why did he look so lifeless? Would not being selected be such a big blow to her mother?
Old Lady Xia was brought back to life by Chen Xiangbei's call. Seeing that their faces were red from the sun, she walked over and asked in confusion, "Why are you two here? How long have you been waiting?"
Chen Xianghong firmly grasped Old Lady Xia's hand and said, "Mom, it's okay. Even if you don't get selected, you're still the best director of women's affairs and the most outstanding comrade in our hearts."
Director Yuan appeared behind Old Lady Xia with a smile on his face. "Old Lady Xia is not only the best director of women's affairs in your hearts, but also the legitimate director of women's affairs in our textile factory."
Chen Xianghong was confused for a moment. "What do you mean? Didn't you not get selected?"
Director Yuan: "She was selected. Your mother is so amazing, how could she not be selected?"
Chen Xiangbei screamed beside him and jumped up all of a sudden, "Ah, really, hahahaha, my mom really became the director, hahahaha."
It was lunch break, and Director Yuan suggested they go out for a meal to celebrate. "Old Xia, you treat."
Old Mrs. Xia nodded.
The four people came to the state-owned restaurant happily. Chen Xiangbei ordered the dishes and started chattering and praising Old Lady Xia.
When they were halfway through their meal, Old Lady Xia suddenly looked up and said, "I really got the job!"
Director Yuan and the other two looked up in confusion, "Yes, you got the job."
Old Lady Xia suddenly burst into laughter, picking up some food for the three of them as she laughed. "Eat, eat quickly. Tonight, call your aunt, your Aunt Yin, Comrade Zheng next door and her daughter, and the people from our compound, and come over here for a meal. Hahahaha, eat, eat quickly!"
The three of them were so full after Mrs. Xia enthusiastically helped them pick up the food that they could not bear the fullness of the food. It was hard to imagine whether they would die of the food if they had another meal in the evening.
Old Lady Xia was full of energy. As everyone was rubbing their bellies, she announced, "This afternoon, I'm going to get all the information on the female comrades in our factory. Then I'm going to see who dares to bully them under my nose!"
Director Yuan led the applause.
Soon, Old Lady Xia welcomed her first day off work as the director of the Women's Department with a rosy face. She wanted to continue working at her desk, but when she thought of her sister at home who was still waiting for her to report the good news, she packed up and quickly left work.
She wanted to tell her sister that she had made it big, even at this age when she was about to retire!
Old Mrs. Xia ran home in two steps. When Jiang Wenhua saw her, he didn't even have time to say hello because she was gone like a gust of wind.
"Sister, sister!" Old Mrs. Xia shouted as soon as she stepped into the courtyard.
Xia Yu'e rushed out and responded: "I'm here, I'm here."
Mrs. Xia immediately hugged her sister and said, "Sister, I did it. I was chosen. I was really chosen."
Xia Yu'e patted her on the back: "I knew you could do it. You work so hard. People who work so hard will never be let down."
Old Lady Xia's voice was choked with sobs: "They all recognize me, they all recognize what I have done during this period, they all chose me, they all saw my efforts, even at my age, they would still choose me, they all congratulate me, they all..."
She was a little incoherent, but the emotion and joy of being recognized were conveyed completely in her words. She could tell her sister without reservation things that she was embarrassed to say to others. She was the person who supported her the most since she was a child.
Old Mrs. Xia can express her excitement in front of her sister, which she cannot express in front of others. Those emotions that cannot be expressed can also be shared or shared because her sister is by her side.
Xia Yu'e pulled the person in, closed the door, and listened while empathizing with her sister.
By the time the others arrived at their house, Old Lady Xia had already gotten over her feelings.
Old Lady Yin was the one who arrived the fastest. After receiving the news from Chen Xiangbei, she was so happy that she pulled him aside and asked him many questions. Chen Xiangbei told her three times, but she still couldn't hear enough.
Chen Xiangnan's family and Chen Xiangdong's family also came with their children, and Yu Hongzhen, the future son-in-law, was not left behind.
Other people in the compound also heard about it on the way, and came to congratulate us after entering the compound.
Jiang Wenhua came back with Fang Yingdi and Qiao Yi. The last one to arrive was Qiao Shan. He was the last one to be notified and ran over with Chen Xiangbei.
One table was not enough, so they split it into two. But Old Lady Xia didn't mind. It was a rare happy event, so what if there were two tables?
However, with Director Yuan's reminder and others' persuasion, we finally decided not to eat outside. That would be too high-profile and might lead to bad rumors. Everyone brought food from their homes and had a lively meal in the courtyard, and everyone helped out.
Everyone enjoyed the meal very much. Old Mrs. Xia drank some wine that someone brought and fell asleep in a daze, with a smile on her face in her dreams.
The second day was a rest day. Old Mrs. Xia was woken up by her sister. While she was still half asleep, she was informed that Chen Xianghong's future parents-in-law had come here early last night and said they would have dinner together in the evening.
When Old Mrs. Xia thought about the behavior of Yu’s parents before, she felt annoyed to death.
After the happy things came the troubles. She sighed, "Did you say you'd eat with Chen Weiguo?"
Xia Yu'e: "He should be with them at noon and with us in the evening. Tell Xiang Hong that Xiao Yu has made all the arrangements."
Old Mrs. Xia thought about what happened in the Chen family's money division some time ago. Even the third son was unwilling to go home. Recently, he either lived here or went to his second sister-in-law's parents' home.
The two relatives of the Tang family even prepared a small room for the boy to live in. The third brother was so obedient that he would go out without hesitation. Whenever he got something good from outside, he would send a portion to himself and bring the rest to the Tang family.
Those two people from the Tang family are the real down-to-earth people.
