Chapter 108
Da Wa glanced mysteriously at Wen Wan in the kitchen, motioned Liang Jinheng to lower his head, and acted as if he wanted to whisper to him.
So mysterious?
Liang Jinheng raised his eyebrows, and finally bent down and put his ear close to Da Wa's face.
Then Da Wa quickly told Liang Jinheng about what happened when they and Wen Wan went shopping for groceries and met Tian Tian in the morning.
Liang Jinheng had said it before in a gentle way that his former sister-in-law Tian Tian married a city man after divorcing his elder brother Wen Guo.
However, he didn't expect that they could meet here again. Obviously, Tian Tian's current husband's family should not be far from the steel plant.
"Has mom been bullied?" he asked the eldest child with a worried look.
In his eyes, even if his wife was in a bad mood occasionally and would scratch him, that little bit of strength was just like a cat's claws scratching an itch, and had no killing power at all.
As for Tian Tian, although he had only met her a few times, he could tell at first glance that she was a tough and difficult person to get along with.
If my daughter-in-law Wen Wan goes against her, she will definitely be bullied!
Liang Jinheng, who has a billion layers of filters for his wife, has already made up his mind. If Da Wa says that Wen Wan was bullied by Tian Tian, he will definitely go and settle the score with Tian Tian immediately!
Fortunately, the eldest child just shook his head and said, "Mom is not being bullied."
Even if he hadn't been bullied, with Tian Tian being the uncertainty factor, he would always meet her again one day.
Therefore, Liang Jinheng couldn't help but praise Da Wa, praising him for doing a good job and encouraging him to tell his father whenever he encountered problems in the future, just like he did today.
After hearing this, Da Wa felt that the burden on his shoulders had become heavier and nodded vigorously.
"Don't worry, Dad. I will tell you everything!"
Wen Wan saw the father and son squatting in the corner, talking to each other, and shouted angrily, "Come over to eat, or you'll be late for work!"
Only then did Liang Jinheng take the eldest child over.
Erniu had already sat obediently on the chair. Liang Jinheng looked at his soft and cute daughter, then at Wen Wan who was busy, and at the eldest child who was chattering beside him, and he felt that his life was happier than ever before.
This is the life he has been looking forward to for many years, the life of their family.
"What are you still standing there for? Go get the rice out of the pot!"
Wen Wan saw Liang Jinheng standing there stupidly and hurriedly urged him to serve the meal.
They cooked by steaming the rice in advance and leaving hot water at the bottom of the pot, so that the rice would still be hot when Liang Jinheng returned home.
However, the big bowl of steamed rice was a little hot, so Liang Jinheng, a tough guy, was asked to hold it.
Liang Jinheng sighed and left with a satisfied heart.
It's really silly to be so happy just doing a job.
Wen Wan couldn't help but shake her head.
After Liang Jinheng brought the meal, the family finally started eating.
At the dinner table, Liang Jinheng asked the mother and her two children what they had done in the morning, and then reciprocated by telling them about his work in the morning.
Speaking of work, Liang Jinheng suddenly thought: "Oh, Wanwan, I asked someone at the factory, and they found out that the provincial newspaper's branch here is right over there by the station. It's not far away, so you won't have to walk too long to get to and from get off work then."
And when he thought about the envious looks he got from people in the office when he asked them about this, Liang Jinheng felt that it was even more prestigious for his wife to work at a newspaper than for him to be a deputy factory director.
“So close!”
Wen Wan was a little surprised.
They had passed by the station several times before, but had never noticed that there was a newspaper office there.
But now it’s good. It’s only about ten or twenty minutes from here to the station, which is quite close.
"Then I'll go down and take a look."
After she finished speaking, she remembered that she wanted to ask Liang Jinheng about her elder brother. Liang Jinheng told her that when he was here last week, he had taken the time to ask his old comrades. They said that they had accumulated a lot of goods that needed to be transported out after the beginning of the year, so they were really short of manpower.
So Liang Jinheng can call his brother-in-law over at any time, and if possible, the sooner the better.
Wen Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that they were indeed short of staff. After all, it wasn't that they didn't want to recruit people but were just for the sake of face forcing her elder brother in.
"Then I'll go home tomorrow and call my eldest brother over."
Her eldest brother had never been to the county town, and had no idea where they were. Even though her third brother had been there with them, this verbal description was not as impressive as taking him there in person.
This matter really cannot be delayed. Liang Jinheng wanted him to make the trip, after all, it would be tiring to go back and forth, but he really couldn't leave since he was at work, so he had to let Wen Wan go back.
But if she goes back, it will be a bit troublesome for the two little ones, Da Wa and Er Niu.
I'd better not take them back with me. I'd definitely be worried if I left them at home.
But if Wen Wan takes them both on the road, she will have more troubles along the way.
No matter how obedient and sensible the two children are, there are so many people on the road that there is no guarantee that they will not be kept under observation.
Both of them couldn't help but look at the two children, wondering how to take care of them tomorrow.
Finally, Liang Jinheng thought about it and said, "I'll take them to the factory tomorrow."
He and the factory cadres had a separate office, and as the deputy director, he also had a cubicle of his own. Although it was not large, it had a door. When the time came, he could let his two children stay in the small office with him without disturbing others.
Wen Wan hesitated a little: "Is this okay? It won't break any rules, right?"
"It's nothing serious. People have brought children to the office before."
What he said was true. A lady in the office brought her grandson there a few days ago because the grandson was sick and his parents were at work and couldn't leave. She felt sorry for her grandson so she brought him with her to take care of him.
Fortunately, her grandson didn't cry or make a fuss when he was sick. He just sat there lying next to her, which was quite cute.
From this we can see that everyone will be more tolerant when colleagues have some unexpected events or other inconveniences at home.
And he has his own compartment, so he won’t affect anyone else.
"Okay then, you take them with you tomorrow," Wen Wan said, then looked at the two children and said, "You two will follow your dad tomorrow. Remember to be obedient and don't cry."
Da Wa and Er Niu also knew that their mother would go back to call her uncle tomorrow, and they couldn’t add to the trouble. Even though they really didn’t want to be separated from their mother, they had to nod.
"I know, mom. My sister and I will be good!"
"Yes, Mom, Erniu will listen to Daddy too!"
Seeing the two children so sensible, Wen Wan couldn't help but laugh.
That afternoon, she went in the direction Liang Jinheng mentioned and returned to the staff quarters after finding out the approximate location of the newspaper office.
Because she had to go back to her parents' home tomorrow, and she didn't know how her family was celebrating the New Year, she thought it was not easy for her family to go out, so she took advantage of the time she still had to buy some things to take back tomorrow.
The money she was spending was Liang Jinheng's. Although he said that he would keep all the money for her and she could spend it however she wanted, Wen Wan still told him how much she had spent.
Of course Liang Jinheng would not say anything about buying things for his father-in-law and mother-in-law. He even offered to send Wen Wan to the car if there were too many things tomorrow.
Of course Wen Wan said no.
Actually, it wasn't a big deal. I just bought some cloth shoes and other things for my family that are hard to find in town. These are hot-selling items in the town's supply and marketing cooperative and are not usually available.
The next day, the whole family got up early.
Wen Wan cooked dinner early, and the family went their separate ways after eating.
Da Wa and Er Niu stood there watching Wen Wan carrying her things and hurried to catch the bus. They had promised each other well a second ago that they would listen to their father, but after seeing their mother walking away, the two little ones couldn't help but tear up.
Erniu's tears were streaming down her face. She didn't cry loudly, but the pitiful look in her eyes really broke Liang Jinheng's heart.
As for his son, although he also cried, he didn't do anything about it.
After all, he is a boy, he will be fine after crying for a while.
Liang Jinheng picked up Erniu, comforted her carefully, and then asked Da Wa to follow.
So he took his two children to the steel plant.
When they entered the factory, perhaps Liang Jinheng finally had a change of heart. He noticed that many workers were working at this time and was worried that Da Wa would get lost, so he said to him, "Hold my hand."
The eldest child said "oh" and looked around as if his eyes were not enough to see so many people. He no longer felt sad as he did when his mother left.
Erniu was rather timid, and even when she was held by her father, she was still frightened by the crowd. She lay on Liang Jinheng's shoulder with only her eyes showing, looking around like a little animal.
The workers passing by couldn't help but smile at the little appearance.
"Director Liang, these are your two children?"
The work has been going on for more than a week, and everyone has already known Liang Jinheng.
However, even if Liang Jinheng is the deputy factory director, most people would not call him "deputy" in front of him. What if others feel uncomfortable hearing it? So everyone is very far-sighted and just calls Liang Jinheng "Director Liang".
The person who was talking to him was the supervisor of a workshop under him, who had met Liang Jinheng at the previous two meetings.
Liang Jinheng nodded at him and replied yes.
Seeing that Erniu was afraid of so many strangers, he didn't stay any longer. He said, "Let's go first," and hurriedly left with Da Wa.
As he left, several people gathered around the supervisor. Looking at Liang Jinheng's back, one couldn't help but say sourly, "Who are you looking down on? You don't even want to talk to us. What's so great about a paratrooper like him?"
The steel plant is a large factory, and it can also be said to be a large collective.
There are almost two thousand people in the entire factory, including employees and leading cadres.
But although these 2,000 people sounds like a lot, in fact most of them are familiar faces, and some employees have even worked in the steel plant for at least 20 to 30 years.
They have spent most of their lives in steel mills.
The few people who gathered with the workshop supervisor belonged to the latter. They had also worked their way up from young people to where they are now, and had earned some so-called qualifications by enduring time. Then they each took over the burden of their retired leaders and were promoted to their current positions.
To them, they were the veterans who were born and raised in this steel plant, and even though Liang Jinheng's position was much higher than theirs, he was still a latecomer.
Shouldn't later generations behave humbly and respect their predecessors first?
The workshop supervisor felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, "Maybe he really has something to do."
"What's going on so early in the morning? Why don't you go to the office to drink tea and read the newspaper?" The logistics director couldn't help but sneered.
As the director of logistics, he felt that his actual power was actually similar to that of Liang Jin, the factory director who only had the title of "deputy".
That is, they actually have no real power, which means they have nothing serious to do.
He is still in charge of the logistics department, and he just drinks tea and reads newspapers every day. Liang Jinheng has so many department heads and cadres under him. They are in charge of things, so he has no right to interrupt.
Therefore, the logistics director became increasingly disdainful of Liang Jinheng's condescending attitude.
It's just an empty shell. Do you really think you're so powerful just because you have the title of factory director?
The people around him didn't know what to say, so they just found an excuse and slipped away.
