Chapter 71 The Niece of the Morning Glory Brigade
Zhou Xian didn't find it strange that both of them chose to work in the factory as cadres.
The most important thing is how to arrange the positions that both of them need.
"It's like this. I have two positions for you two. One is the deputy factory manager, and the other is the factory accountant. I just want to hear your opinions on how to arrange them for you."
Fang Ru and Qi Zhijie looked at each other. As their own interests were involved, they both started thinking quickly.
Compared to an accountant, the position of deputy factory manager is of course the highest ranking.
It also makes people feel more excited.
Although accounting is involved in the economy of the factory, it is only an accountant in the factory. The biggest say still lies with the brigade.
"Do you guys discuss it among yourselves, or draw lots?"
"Let's draw lots." Fang Ru said.
After saying that, Fang Ru looked at Qi Zhijie. It was obvious that both of them were attracted by the position of deputy factory director, but the team had accepted their fate directly, so it was inevitable that they were unwilling to accept it. The result of the drawing of lots depended on their own luck.
"I agree to draw lots."
There is no way to disagree. Everyone wants to be the deputy factory director, so we might as well draw lots.
Zhou Xian nodded, took out a piece of paper, cut it into two pieces of the same size, wrote "Accountant" on one piece and "Deputy Factory Director" on the other piece. Then he took the paper in front of him, folded it into a small square, shook it in his hand, and then put it on the table.
"Who's going first?"
The two looked at each other hesitantly.
"How about rock, paper, scissors?" Zhou Xian asked again.
Fang Ru and Qi Zhijie nodded, and then started playing rock-paper-scissors.
Qi Zhijie won. When he reached for the note, Fang Ru closed her eyes nervously.
Zhou Xian pushed another piece of paper in front of Fang Ru and said, "Open it and take a look."
Qi Zhijie was also extremely nervous and didn't dare to open the note. Finally, Fang Ru couldn't stand his hesitation anymore and opened the note and took a look.
"Deputy Factory Director!" Fang Ru's voice trembled with excitement. Considering her image, she tried hard to press down the upturned corners of her mouth.
"Congratulations, Deputy Director Fang, Accountant Qi. We will both work hard for our factory from now on."
Although Qi Zhijie was a little disappointed, after Zhou Xian called him like that, he inexplicably felt as if he had a greater sense of mission.
"Secretary Zhou, don't worry, I will do my best." Fang Ru said with full ambition.
"That's good. Although our factory is small, we need to create the future ourselves. I believe that under your leadership, our factory will get better and better."
Hearing these words, the two men were so excited that they wished the factory could be built right now and the machines could arrive so that they could achieve great things.
After watching the two leave, Zhou Xian was also ready to leave, but before he had gone far, he was stopped by someone.
"Secretary Zhou."
Zhou Xian turned around and looked at Qi Zhijie in confusion, "Accountant Qi, is there anything else?"
"Well, I apologize to you for what happened before. I misunderstood you before. I'm really sorry."
"It's okay. It's all over."
Of course Zhou Xian also knew that Qi Zhijie was teasing her behind her back.
But she really didn't care about those things. In comparison, she cared more about whether this person was useful or not.
If it is complete waste, just throw it aside. It won't cause any harm to her anyway.
Now it seems that Qi Zhijie is still somewhat useful.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xian forgave him so easily. Qi Zhijie felt more and more that he was not a good person in the past.
I felt a little ashamed for a moment and felt embarrassed to face her again. I really didn't know what to say to her, so I turned around and walked away quickly.
Zhou Xian didn't take his inexplicable attitude seriously. When he was about to leave, he was stopped again.
Fang Ru didn't walk far, but she felt that Qi Zhijie must have said something to Secretary Zhou.
Maybe she wants to please Secretary Zhou and kick her out as deputy factory director.
"Deputy Director Fang, is there anything else?"
Fang Ru felt a little embarrassed by being called out, but she still remembered that she had something to say, "Secretary Zhou, don't worry, I will definitely do my best. If I do anything wrong, just point it out and I will definitely correct it."
Facing Fang Ru, Zhou Xian's attitude was much gentler, and he even took her hand affectionately, "Comrade Fang Ru, I am sure I trust you, and I am very grateful that you can trust the Taohua Brigade and me. How does the saying go, trusting a man will lead to no results, and career is the best weapon for women. Let's work together to build our factory."
"Well, I will definitely try my best."
When Zhou Xian returned home, she saw Ge Guifen waiting for her with a bundle.
"Mom, are you going to run away from home?"
Zhou Xian was naughty and was slapped by Comrade Ge Guifen.
"If you don't know how to control your mouth, you will just talk nonsense. I'm going to your uncle's house today, and you have to go with me."
The eldest and second sister-in-law have already gone back with the things prepared by Comrade Ge Guifen. Comrade Ge Guifen was waiting for her specially.
My third sister-in-law was an educated youth. Normally, educated youths were also entitled to home visit leave during the Spring Festival. Some educated youths whose families lived in the county town or provincial capital would ask for leave to go back.
If it was farther away, I would not go back. After all, being on the road would waste a lot of time and be tiring, so I didn't go back.
Zhou Xian already knew most of what was going on at her third sister-in-law's home through the plot. Even if she could go back, she probably wouldn't.
Ge Guifen took out the lunch and handed the kitchen key to Wang Xuemei. "Old Third Wife, just make some food for the old man and the old third brothers at noon. We will be back in the afternoon."
Ge Guifen was still very relieved about Wang Xuemei. After all, the third daughter-in-law was a scholar and very reasonable. Most importantly, she was a good person and did what she was supposed to do.
She would also speak out about things that she shouldn't do, and Comrade Ge Guifen admired this about her.
Before leaving, Ge Guifen took out two pieces of candy from her pocket and handed them to her granddaughter Zhou Yiyi, and then took her daughter back to her parents' home.
Her husband is the team leader. In the past, when she went back to her parents' home, her sisters-in-law would always greet her with smiles. But this time was different. Now her third daughter-in-law is a teacher in the team's primary school, and her daughter works in the commune. Her articles have been published in newspapers, and she has grown greenhouse vegetables, which has made their entire Taohua Team famous in the county. How can she not bring them back to her old Ge family to show off?
More importantly, her brother from her mother's side sent a message back through someone, asking his niece to go back with him for the New Year this year.
Ge Guifen's parents' home is not far away, and she used to walk back by herself. But today Zhou Xian took her there on a bicycle, so they arrived at the Morning Glory Brigade very quickly.
Zhou Xian came here with Comrade Ge Guifen when he was a child, but he was less willing to come when he grew up.
After being transferred to work in the commune, she was no longer responsible for this area, so she hasn't been here for many years.
As soon as I entered the team, I saw my two aunts waiting there.
Zhou Xian rode his bicycle and stopped directly in front of his two aunts and called them.
Feng Aihua said quickly, "Oh, look at how big the child has grown. He hasn't been here for many years. I almost couldn't recognize him."
Niu Cuilian was not to be outdone, "I heard that you are working in the commune now. The articles you wrote have been published in the newspapers. The team leader even read your articles to us."
Seeing them talking non-stop to their daughters, Ge Guifen coughed heavily, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, where are my brother and my nephews?"
The two men finally reacted, pulled the two men and said with a smile, "Come on, go home quickly, we are all waiting at home."
The main reason they came out to wait for people was because they had given Ge Guifen a special message beforehand, saying that she must bring Zhou Xian with her when she returns to her parents' home this time.
Having a niece who is an official in the commune gives the Ge family some face.
Ge Guifen's eldest brother from her mother's side was the accountant of the Trumpet Flower Brigade, and he himself was literate. When Zhou Xian and the others went there, they saw her eldest and second uncles sitting together, with a newspaper on the table. It was obviously the one she had submitted.
When they saw Zhou Xian, they stood up and said politely, "Come and sit down."
Zhou Xian first greeted them and then went over and sat down.
The aunt brought them some sweet soup. Ge Guifen took it and put it on the table. Then she took out some candy from her pocket and gave one to each of the children who were looking at them curiously.
The child who got the candy ran out happily to show off to his friends.
Ge Guifen took out the backpack again and took out the tomatoes, cucumbers and eggplants inside.
There were two copies, one for the eldest brother's family and the other for the second brother's family. She treated them equally and did not show partiality to anyone.
Niu Cuilian's eyes lit up as she watched, "My little sister, our team has planted vegetables in a greenhouse, so we don't have to lack vegetables to eat even in the winter."
"Second sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense. These vegetables were bought by my family's Jiefang. Even if you are the team leader, you can't just take things from the team." Ge Guifen was still very unhappy with her second sister-in-law's attitude.
She spoke as if the vegetables in the greenhouse belonged to her and she could take them whenever she wanted. Those were the brigade's things and even if people in the brigade wanted to eat them, they had to pay for them. But compared to the county town, people buy it cheaper, or the money is directly deducted from their work points.
They would not do anything that would give rise to gossip. If someone heard it, it would have an impact on her man.
They paid for all these things, but they didn't take advantage of the team in the slightest.
"Don't talk nonsense. It will be bad if people misunderstand my brother-in-law." Ge Chengjun glared at his wife. She was always careless with her mouth and dared to say anything.
Ge Chengjin was also a cadre of the brigade, so he naturally knew that some things could not be said carelessly. However, since she was his brother's wife after all, it was not easy for him as the eldest uncle to speak up. He could only ask the second son to go back and give her more instructions.
What's more, I specially invited my niece over this time because I have something to ask for her help. Why would she say those unpleasant things?
Feng Aihua was very tactful and quickly asked Ge Guifen and Zhou Xian to sit down. In addition to the brown sugar water, she stuffed the egg cake directly into Zhou Xian's hands.
Several cousins from the two uncles' families were also busy in the kitchen. Zhou Xian could see that his eldest uncle had something to say. Even his cousins were not at home at the moment, and the children who wanted to come in were sent out.
The two aunts also said they wanted to go to the kitchen to see how the food was cooking.
In fact, Zhou Xian also guessed what his uncle wanted to say, so he took the initiative to speak, "Uncle, do you want to talk about the plastic greenhouse?"
Ge Chengjin didn't expect that his niece could see through his thoughts at once. He paused for a moment and then nodded.
"Kid, when will our morning glory team get the chance to own that plastic greenhouse?"
At first, when they were not selected, everyone felt it didn’t matter. After all, no one had ever done this thing before, so the Taohua Team fought for it and they were not jealous.
But the Peach Blossom Brigade succeeded, and after promotion, it was taken over by the Apricot Blossom and Lotus Brigade, which made me feel a little sad.
It was originally a competition between teams. It doesn't matter if they didn't get it, but their team leader is unwilling to accept it. Who doesn't want to make life easier for the team?
It turned out that the person in charge of this matter was an officer of the Women's Federation of the commune named Zhou Xian. After more careful investigation, it was discovered that the biological father of this officer Zhou was Zhou Jiefang, the captain of the Taohua Brigade.
What a coincidence! Zhou Jiefang is the brother-in-law of their brigade accountant Ge Chengjin.
According to the relationship, this Secretary Zhou is the niece of Ge Chengjin. The niece of the old Ge family is the niece of their Trumpet Flower Brigade. The relationship is so close that it should be kept within the family.
It's just that we don't contact each other much on a daily basis. I feel a little embarrassed to suddenly get close to my niece and ask her for help.
The New Year is just around the corner, so I thought of letting Ge Chengjin test my niece's attitude first.
