Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

When Zhang Cuihua returned to the office, her good sisters naturally gathered around her. "Sister Hua, do you also want to go abroad?" Liu Mei asked.

"Why should I go abroad? I can't read," said Zhang Cuihua.

"I thought you were going to see Director Li and wanted to go out with him? There will be someone to receive you when you go out. We have an office over there. What does it matter whether you can read or not?" Liu Mei said.

"I can't cause trouble for the leader. It seems that there must be a lot of people looking for him. I went up to report to Director Li about what we talked about last time. Let's talk about it. Secretary Wang will write it down. We will report the plan to Director Xu. He won't go out," Zhang Cuihua said to several people.

"What's the matter? Is it about Wu Laoer from the fifth workshop being unfilial to his mother, or is it about Hua Yingyou and his wife having a fight in the new workshop? Is such a thing written down? We are not security guards," Qian Ying asked.

"What's wrong with you? I'm talking about increasing women's income," Zhang Cuihua said, looking at Qian Ying.

"About increasing income?" several people said in unison.

"Really? I went home last night and thought about it for a while. I had an idea in my mind, but I felt it was not very good, so I asked Xu Damao from our hospital to measure it. Let me tell you, Xu Damao is very smart. He reads very thick books every day and has many ideas. We worked together and ended up with the same idea," said Zhang Cuihua.

"Is that Xu Damao, the projectionist of our Propaganda Department? He's really capable. Didn't he have a pair of twin sons? Look at how capable he is," said Liu Mei.

Several women's conversations veered off track and they discussed Xu Damao from beginning to end. Secretary Wang on the side could not intervene in such matters, so he could only listen.

"Are you still talking about something else? Xiao Wang is so tired that he is almost exhausted from holding the pen," said Kang Qingquan, the only male in the Women's Federation. He could not help but interrupt them when he heard that the topic was getting more and more off-topic.

"Of course. What I mean is that there is a handkerchief factory in our street that specializes in making small handkerchiefs. It gave me an idea. I remember during the Chinese New Year, my younger brother Da Biao was at home and he talked about this topic. Westerners particularly like our handicrafts, like embroidered handkerchiefs are one of them. So after I reported to Director Li, he contacted Da Biao, and they decided to ship the cloth and thread to our factory. Then we organized women to receive training and embroidery, and charged according to the quality and quantity of the embroidery. In this way, they can earn a living every day." Zhang Cuihua expressed her thoughts.

"Hua Xian, how did you get your brain? It's so useful. I'm really impressed," Liu Mei said with envy.

"I have experienced a lot, so I have more ideas. What do you think of this method?" Zhang Cuihua said without any modesty.

"So what? It's really great. Do we need to organize people to work together, or send the cloth out to be processed at home?" Qian Ying said.

"I think it's better to distribute it. Dabiao said that half of the orders should be given to my aunt in the street office. Then we can organize people to receive the goods and keep accounts. The factory is not without the tertiary industry, so this unit can be attached to the tertiary industry. There are accountants and quality inspectors there, which is a ready-made team." Zhang Cuihua put forward her own suggestions.

"Sister Hua said it well. The tertiary industry also has a warehouse, and they have their own custodians, who are all children of their own employees. They are very dedicated to their work. After reporting to Director Xu, just contact Manager Xiao of the tertiary industry company. He will definitely be happy to add a unit," said Kang Qingquan.

Secretary Wang of the Women's Federation is a college student. After listening to what Zhang Cuihua and others said, she sorted out her ideas, wrote out a plan, read it to Zhang Cuihua and others, and further improved it.

After revising it twice, Zhang Cuihua felt it was okay and took Secretary Wang to Xu Sinian's office.

"Director Xu, I have something to report to you," Zhang Cuihua knocked on the door and said to Xu Sinian.

"Deputy Section Chief Zhang, are you still being polite here? Say it," Xu Sinian said to Zhang Cuihua with a smile.

"Director Xu, this is our plan," Secretary Wang handed over the activity plan he had written.

"So formal? There is even a plan. Deputy Section Chief Zhang has really made progress." Xu Sinian praised Zhang Cuihua, then looked at their plan and asked as he read.

"Cuihua, does Dabiao agree to do this?" Xu Sinian saw the key to the problem, which was that Zhang Dabiao had to place an order and provide cloth and money.

"He agreed, and said that he had asked Director Li to bring back the drawings, and he would arrange for someone to connect with the factory for the cloth and money today," said Zhang Cuihua.

"Don't you want to go out and take a look?" Xu Sinian asked Zhang Cuihua.

"I don't want to. I can't cause trouble for my boss or Da Biao. It's not easy for him outside. Besides, I'm so old now, it doesn't matter whether I go out or not," Zhang Cuihua said with a smile.

"It would be great if everyone thought the same as me. I agree to set up a new company in the tertiary industry. Do you have any suitable personnel to recommend?" Xu Sinian asked Zhang Cuihua again.

"I think Xu Damao is very talented, but he may not be willing to go. He loves reading now," Zhang Cuihua proposed her candidate for the embroidery factory director.

"Xu Damao? The projectionist Xu Damao?" Xu Sinian asked Zhang Cuihua after verifying it, and Zhang Cuihua nodded.

"I understand. I agree to this. I'll talk to Xu Damao first," Xu Sinian said to Zhang Cuihua and the others.

Zhang Cuihua and Secretary Wang left Xu Sinian's office. Xu Sinian thought for a while and called the Propaganda Department, telling the section chief to ask Xu Damao to come to his office.

"Director Xu, are you looking for me?" Xu Damao certainly knew Xu Sinian, but the two of them could only be considered acquaintances and not particularly familiar with each other.

"Da Mao, I heard that you have become fond of reading recently?" Xu Sinian motioned Xu Damao to sit down and talk.

"Director Xu, I always read after get off work and never delay my work." Xu Damao was startled. He thought someone had complained to him.

"It's a good time to read. Damao, we are going to set up an embroidery factory in the tertiary industry. Someone recommended you to be the factory director. I thought about it and felt that you are quite suitable. Now I want to ask for your opinion," said Xu Sinian.

"Did Aunt Jia recommend me?" Xu Damao asked.

"Yes, it was Deputy Section Chief Zhang who recommended you to me. Damao's job as a projectionist is a little easier, but if a person has talent, but you hide it and don't use it, what's the use of your talent? You know this simple truth," said Xu Sinian.

"Director Xu, thank you so much, but my father-in-law is Lou Weihua," Xu Damao expressed his concerns.

"Don't I know that you are Mr. Lou's son-in-law? He is a model of our public-private partnership. As his son-in-law, you should do your part for the development of the factory," said Xu Sinian.

"Thank you, Director Xu. If I don't agree, I would be ungrateful, but I am the only projectionist in the factory," said Xu Damao.

"You can solve this problem yourself. You can transfer one from other units or train one yourself," said Xu Sinian.

"I understand, Director Xu. You can arrange for me if you have anything to do." Xu Damao bowed and came out of Xu Sinian's office.
