Chapter 98 No, I can’t go
Zhou Xian said that the commune sent Dong Zhiqing here to study, and he also brought a letter of recommendation from Secretary He. All the necessary procedures were followed. After all, on the surface, Dong Zhiqing was transferred here.
"Aunt, I'm familiar with this Xinghua Brigade, so I brought Dong Zhiqing to your home. Don't worry, Dong Zhiqing's accommodation and food expenses will be covered by our commune."
"Why are you so polite? You're just here to study. It doesn't cost much." Zhou Xian's words made Cai Guixiang feel embarrassed.
Regarding her daughter's matter, she actually didn't feel confident facing Secretary Zhou, but since she was asked to help with this task assigned by the commune, she naturally wouldn't refuse.
"Don't worry, Auntie will definitely treat Dong Zhiqing well."
Cai Guixiang warmly invited Dong Wenwen to go into the house. Dong Wenwen looked back at Zhou Xian and saw her nod at her, so she went into the house with peace of mind.
Faced with Cai Guixiang's enthusiastic invitation to Zhou Xian to stay for dinner, Zhou Xian naturally did not stay. It was getting late, so he naturally hurried home.
When she got back, her second brother was already at home.
Seeing Zhou Xian, Zhou Shoumin looked around, made sure that no one in the family was paying attention, and then walked towards Zhou Xian stealthily.
"Little sister."
"Second brother, what are you doing?" Zhou Xian looked at Zhou Shoumin in confusion.
"Little sister, I have something to tell you." Zhou Shoumin squatted at the door, looking conflicted.
Zhou Xian called him into the house. After all, the fact that Vice President Li went crazy in the commune had not spread widely.
Or maybe it was the influence of the male protagonist Li Dong's halo. Except for a few people in the commune, the passers-by didn't seem to react to the different things he did to Dong Wenwen.
It's so obvious, but no one noticed it. It's very strange.
Zhou Xian also knew that Secretary He was going to the county town tomorrow, but he didn’t know whether the trip would go smoothly. The male protagonist Li Dong is very crazy and has a very strong aura.
The next morning, when Zhou Xian went to work at the commune, he heard that Secretary He had fallen and injured himself when he went out in the morning.
"Was the fall serious?" Zhou Xian asked.
Director Ji sighed, "He said he had a broken bone. He may need to recover for a while. I don't know why he was so unlucky. He happened to hit a small stone when he fell."
Zhou Xian didn't expect that his worries would actually come true.
It seems that Li Dong is not only a madman, but also a plague god. When there is real action to deal with him, whoever he wants will be plagued.
If that was the case, Zhou Xian was a little worried about her second brother. She felt that she had to find other helpers, otherwise her second brother would be hurt by his aura as the male protagonist again.
On my way back to the commune, I happened to meet Yang Shengyi who was about to go to school. Hearing that Secretary He was injured, Yang Shengyi thought that he would need Secretary He's help to leave the Yang family, so he offered to go and see him.
As a secretary, Zhou Xian would definitely go to see his leader if he was injured.
So he made an appointment with Yang Shengyi to go there together after she got out of school at noon.
Zhou Xian dealt with his own work first. Since his leader was injured, he definitely couldn't let him worry about it.
Then I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and weighed a pound of egg cakes. These days, it is not inappropriate to bring these to visit patients.
Yang Shengyi bought a bag of luguo and followed Zhou Xian to see Secretary He.
Secretary He was quite surprised to see the two of them coming together.
Yang Shengyi took the initiative to say, "Uncle Secretary, I hope you get well soon."
Secretary He touched Yang Shengyi's head and found that she seemed to have grown a lot taller and her face had obviously gained more flesh, which made him even happier.
"It's not a big deal. Sorry to bother you to come and see me. Take these things back quickly. If you want to eat them, I can go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy them myself."
Zhou Xian naturally would not take it back. He just said that he had already dealt with some things at work.
"You've done a great job. You can't mess up your work. If you're undecided, go ask President Hu. My injury isn't serious. I can go back to work after a couple of days of rest."
Zhou Xian wanted to persuade him, but Secretary He was concerned about his work, so she naturally couldn't persuade him any further.
But he still said, "I think we should hire another secretary temporarily. You and Vice President Li both have secretaries, but President Hu doesn't. If other people hear about this, they will think we have something against President Hu."
"Hire another secretary?" Secretary He paused, then immediately understood.
It is indeed not easy for Comrade Zhou Shoumin to follow Li Dong alone, so we can recruit another person to take over the shift. However, we certainly cannot use Li Dong as an excuse anymore.
A vice president cannot have two secretaries.
"Okay, go look for someone, and I'll talk to Lao Hu."
Zhou Xian already had this candidate in mind.
After she sent Dong Wenwen to the Xinghua Brigade, she realized that she had missed a male protagonist.
Aunt Ma Erya’s grandson Zhou Jianguo is also the male protagonist.
Although his abilities were not revealed until after the reform and opening up, it does not prevent him from being the male protagonist.
According to the protagonist law, a male protagonist like him who comes into play in the later stage will definitely not encounter any accidents in the early stage.
The second brother is very strong, and with the help of Zhou Jianguo, who has the aura of the male protagonist, the two of them working together should have no problem holding down Li Dong.
After returning to the team, Zhou Xian went straight to Ma Erya.
Although the family has separated, Ma Erya had performed in the brigade during the Chinese New Year and became famous. Later, on International Women's Day, she toured all the brigades and even the leaders knew her.
As Tao Yezi's belly grew bigger and bigger, she would be giving birth soon. Sun Meifeng now didn't dare to speak loudly at home, feeling very depressed.
She wanted to find some recognition from her mother-in-law, but her mother-in-law was very busy now and didn't want to pay any attention to her at all. Even if she could talk to her and listen to her complaints, she would not give her any response.
It was because Xiaocao had become successful after becoming a female tractor driver that she treated the second wife better.
Sun Meifeng really feels uncomfortable everywhere.
Seeing Zhou Xian going straight to her parents-in-law, she felt really anxious and worried, wondering what good news had come to her mother-in-law.
If she had known that her mother-in-law was so powerful now, she would not have divided the family property even if she had shamelessly thrown a tantrum.
Seeing her mother-in-law sending Zhou Xian out, Sun Meifeng couldn't help but lean over to take a look.
Her mother-in-law smiled at Zhou Xian attentively, "Secretary Zhou, don't worry, I will take care of this matter."
Just as I was about to curl my lips, I saw my mother-in-law suddenly turned her head and looked at me.
Sun Meifeng was so frightened that she fell off the stool. It was all over. Her mother-in-law saw it.
I don’t know why, but after other people’s family members split up, they became the masters and stood up straight, but after her family split up, she became afraid of her mother-in-law, even though her mother-in-law had never done anything to her.
Seeing her mother-in-law knocking on the door, Sun Meifeng opened the door with a guilty look on her face and said with a smile, "Mom, I didn't peek at you."
Ma Erya was too lazy to talk nonsense with her and glanced into the room. "Where are Jianguo and his wife?"
"He went for a walk. Jianguo's wife said that taking a walk after dinner would help with the birth of a baby." Sun Meifeng didn't understand, but she also looked down on Tao Ye Zi and thought she was being pretentious.
"Back then, after I gave birth to Jianguo in the morning, I went to work in the fields in the afternoon. She was the only one who had the most work to do."
Ma Erya glanced at her and said, "Bullshit, you are bragging without even looking at who is in front of you. I spent half a month cooking brown sugar and egg water for you back then, why don't you acknowledge it now?"
Sun Meifeng opened her mouth but could not utter a word. The main reason was that she often spoke freely when quarreling with her daughter-in-law. In front of her mother-in-law, she could not help but blurt out words.
"Well, Mom, I'll call Jianguo and his wife back for you."
"No need, just let Xiaohua go." Ma Erya shouted to the inner room, "Xiaohua, I have something to do with your brother, go and call him back."
"Hey, I'll go right away."
Sun Meifeng watched her daughter run away quickly and stared at her in disbelief again.
Why wasn't he so quick when she called out? The old woman ran away as soon as she shouted.
It turns out that daughters and sons are unreliable.
Zhou Xiaohua quickly called people over and then went into the room to study.
"Mom, look at me. I am their mother after all, but they are so heartless."
"Okay, okay, shut up, I have something important to say."
Zhou Jianguo and his wife were a little confused when they were suddenly called back. It was really strange that his grandmother was looking for him.
Ever since the family split up, grandma hasn't even glanced at him.
However, Zhou Jianguo was raised by his grandmother Ma Erya. When he knew that his grandmother was looking for him, he immediately brought his wife back.
"Grandma, what do you want from me?"
Ma Erya cleared her throat and said, "Jianguo, do you want to work in the commune?"
Zhou Jianguo's eyes lit up when he looked at Ma Erya, but when he thought about how he could have such ability as a little old lady, the light in his eyes disappeared.
But Sun Meifeng couldn't help asking, "Mom, Secretary Zhou came to see you just now, was it talking about this matter?"
When he heard that Zhou Xian had been here, hope started to burn in Zhou Jianguo's eyes again.
Ma Erya coughed and said, "Yes, Secretary Zhou came over just now and was indeed talking about this matter."
Even Zhou Xiaohua who was in the room came out.
Ma Erya looked around and said, "Secretary Zhou said that President Hu of the commune is in need of a secretary and asked me if I knew anyone suitable."
Sun Meifeng hesitated and asked, "Why would Secretary Zhou ask you about this?"
"What do you mean, you suspect I'm lying?"
"No, no, I just said it casually." Sun Meifeng was afraid of ruining her son's job, so she didn't dare to say anything else.
"I originally thought that Xiaohua from our family would be more suitable for the secretary job, as girls are more careful in their work. But the commune requires a male comrade, so Xiaohua is not suitable."
Zhou Xiaohua was a little disappointed, but he was still touched when he heard that his grandmother was thinking of him.
"I listened to the conditions Secretary Zhou mentioned, and I think Jianguo is quite suitable. I asked Secretary Zhou to keep an eye on him for me. Jianguo, what do you think?"
Of course Zhou Jianguo wanted to go, but before he could say anything, Tao Yezi disagreed.
"No, Jianguo can't go."
Tao Ye Zi was extremely anxious. Zhou Jianguo would be the richest man in the county in the future. So what was the point of being the president's secretary? It wouldn't be long before this iron rice bowl would no longer be popular.
But she heard that those factories would not be able to pay wages in the future.
Why run there now? Just wait a little longer. It won’t be long anyway, and Jianguo will be able to make money easily by then.
Zhou Jianguo looked at Tao Ye Zi in surprise, not understanding why she objected. She was the president's secretary, and no one else could have such a good thing.
"Jianguo, listen to me. You can't go. That job isn't very good." Tao Ye Zi said quickly.
