"Sister, can you tell me why your family has changed so much? I almost couldn't find you when I came here today. I went to your house but no one was there. It was your neighbor who told me you were here."
Du Chen's third aunt Ren Suyun asked Du Chen's mother curiously in the inner room, "It's only been more than half a year since we last saw each other, but the eldest sister's family has changed so much."
"Hey, it was just a bunch of nonsense. Your brother-in-law saw that I had nothing to do at home all day, and I also wanted to make some money. Then, by chance, I opened this store..."
Du Chen's mother briefly told her sister what had happened in the past six months. She was embarrassed to say it, as if she was showing off to her sister.
"Third sister, let me tell you, my eldest sister is doing really well now. Not only did she open a shop, but her brother-in-law also contracted a repair shop. My son Xiao Li is also working for her now..."
Ren Suping was very happy to see her third sister coming today. She also admired her eldest sister and brother-in-law for their own efforts, so she couldn't help but tell her third sister Ren Suyun everything she knew.
"Big sister, this is amazing! I didn't expect you to have changed so much in the past six months."
"Stop talking about me. I'm here to stay for a few days."
Du Chen's mother blushed a little when her two younger sisters praised her, and quickly changed the subject.
"Hey, I'll be staying for a few more days. I have to go back tomorrow. You all know how busy the hospital is. I switched shifts with someone else today, otherwise it would only be half a day."
"Where's Xiao Gu? Is he busy too?"
"He's even busier than I am. The orthopedics department is often the busiest department in the hospital. He's not home all day and doesn't even take care of the kids."
Ren Suyun complained while picking bean sprouts.
"Okay, let's keep busy. Let Yueyue stay at my house for a few more days. If things don't work out after a while, I'll send them all back to mom."
Du Chen's mother plans to let the children go back to their grandmother's house after a while so that they can relax.
…
"Old Du, are you busy?"
Comrade Lao Du was busy repairing a car when Mi Duan suddenly walked into the repair shop.
"It's okay, what's wrong with Miduan? Is there anything wrong?"
Comrade Lao Du put down the tools in his hands and asked Mi Duan.
"Come on, let's go to the office and I'll talk to you about something."
"Oh, okay, Mi Duan."
Comrade Lao Du immediately washed his hands and followed Mi Duan into the office.
"Old Du, I went to a meeting at the branch office a few days ago, and then several leaders from other stations and sections saw my car. Now they also want to make some changes. I think you should take this job sometime."
"As for you, you can charge whatever you want. You can also take this opportunity to talk to them and have them bring their company's cars to our repair shop. I think this is a good idea, so I'll agree to it for you."
Comrade Lao Du was very happy to hear what Mi Duan said. Wasn't he waiting for this day?
"Thank you, Mi Duan. Thank you so much! I was just thinking about how to expand the market!"
"Okay, I'm glad you know about this. I guess these people will be arriving in the next few days, but you better not delay the company's car."
Mi Duan reminded Comrade Lao Du to prevent him from being so focused on making money that he forgets to repair the unit's car.
"Don't worry, Mi Duan, that won't happen."
Comrade Lao Du agreed nicely, but he was not sure at all in his heart. After all, with the current volume of car repairs, three people were not enough, and on top of that, the manpower for modification was really stretched.
After giving Comrade Lao Du some instructions, Mi Duan left first. After all, he had nothing else to do in the repair shop.
After Mi Duan left, Comrade Lao Du immediately left the office to find Liu Zhenzhong and Xiao Li.
"Lao Liu, Xiao Li, take a break first. I have something to ask you."
"Brother-in-law, what's wrong?"
Xiao Li's tone was a little nervous. He saw Mi Duan just entered the office and was a little worried that something might have happened to him. Liu Zhenzhong looked at Comrade Lao Du with concern.
"It's okay, it's a good thing. Mi Duan has brought us some business..."
Comrade Lao Du also noticed that Xiao Li and Liu Zhenzhong were a little nervous. After all, the repair shop was their livelihood, and of course they were worried about whether something might go wrong with it.
"Brother-in-law, this is not a good thing."
When Xiao Li heard Comrade Lao Du's explanation, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and Liu Zhenzhong next to him also put his heart back in his stomach.
"Well, it's a good thing, but we have a big problem now."
Comrade Lao Du said with a wry smile.
After hearing this, the two of them became anxious again.
"Look, the three of us are already busy non-stop. If there are more orders, we won't have enough manpower!"
Comrade Lao Du didn't wait for the two to ask and directly told them the current difficulties.
"Brother-in-law, what should we do?"
Xiao Li and Liu Zhenzhong also became anxious when they heard this.
"Xiao Li, let's take some time this afternoon to go back to the village. We need to pick up the apprentices today. Two apprentices can at least help with the cleaning."
"Okay! Brother-in-law, let's go back to the village this afternoon!"
Xiao Li also agreed with Comrade Lao Du's decision without hesitation.
"Old Liu, if you have any unsuccessful apprentices, you can contact them. Even if they're just second-rate, at least they can do some basic maintenance."
"Okay, Director, let me think about who they are!"
Old Liu also took this matter to heart. While he was talking about it, he was already thinking about who was more likely to come.
Comrade Lao Du thought for a moment and spoke directly to Liu Zhenzhong.
"How about this, Lao Liu? Let's not both work this afternoon. You and I will go to the city together, and Xiao Li and I will go back to the village to find an apprentice. You can go to the city to contact your apprentice. What do you think?"
"Okay, Director!"
"Okay, let's get busy now and leave after lunch!"
Comrade Lao Du has changed more in the past six months than in the past ten years. Apart from other things, Comrade Lao Du is now decisive and efficient in his work. He does whatever he thinks of, unlike before when he was hesitant.
…
"Sister, will my brother-in-law be home for lunch? Do you need me to make more?"
Ren Suyun hasn't been so relaxed for a long time. Every day she is busy with work or taking care of the children.
Now, I chat with them and help with cooking. My child has someone to keep him company outside, and I feel relieved all of a sudden. When I feel relaxed, I talk more.
"I usually go home for dinner, and Xiao Li comes back with me. It seems like it's almost time for him to come back."
As soon as Ren Suping finished speaking, she heard a car stop outside.
"Oh, Yueyue is here! Let uncle see, Yueyue is beautiful again!"
Before the three sisters left, they heard Comrade Lao Du praising Gu Yue.
"Yueyue, where are your parents?"
"Dad is at work and hasn't come over yet. Mom is cooking inside."
Gu Yue spoke with a baby voice, which was so cute and particularly pleasant to the ear.
"Brother-in-law, you're back!"
At this time, Ren Suyun came out and greeted Comrade Lao Du.
