Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

Xu Damao is a very smart man, and the more books he reads, the more problems he feels, especially his father-in-law's family. Before liberation, they were the largest capitalists in the entire capital. Judging from the current situation, the situation is not friendly to them and is becoming more and more urgent.

This embroidery company is open to the outside world and is connected with Zhang Dabao. He is outside, and that is a way out. If he becomes the factory director, he may be able to go out, and his family, especially the two fat boys, can be saved. Now when he sees these two sons, Xu Damao feels full of strength. Now he understands the meaning of the saying that one does not know the kindness of parents until he has children.

"I can't live without my son" This is Xu Damao's only thought, and his son is also the driving force of his life.

"Da Mao, is there anything Director Xu can do for you?" the section chief asked him.

"Chief, I have something to say. Director Xu said that our unit cannot have only one projectionist and asked me to find another one. How can I find one from outside? Can I also call my father? My cinema won't allow us to do that," said Xu Damao with a smile.

"Then you can recruit an apprentice," the section chief said with a smile.

"Oh!" Xu Damao sighed deeply and began to think about his apprenticeship.

Without having lunch, Xu Damao rode his bicycle out of the factory and came to his father-in-law's house.

"Da Mao, why are you here in the daytime? Is there something wrong?" Lou Weihua asked Xu Damao.

"Dad, there's something. Director Xu came to me today. Our unit's tertiary industry is going to set up an embroidery factory. We need to ship cloth and money from abroad, find a group of women to process it, and then give the women extra food allowance. Director Xu wants me to be the factory director," said Xu Damao.

"You don't want to go? Because of me?" Lou Weihua asked Xu Damao to sit down and poured him a cup of tea.

"No, I agreed," said Xu Damao.

"If you agreed, then why do you have this expression?" Lou Weihua smiled.

"Dad, I like reading history books now. From the Qin Dynasty to the Western Han Dynasty and all the way to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the first twenty years after the founding of the country were not very peaceful," said Xu Damao after taking a sip of tea.

"I know all this. What do you want to say?" Lou Weihua's face became serious. He didn't expect Xu Damao to think so deeply about the problem.

"Dad, you are too famous. When Da Biao comes back, I will talk to him and ask him to take you out," Xu Damao said to Lou Weihua.

"Can you bear to leave your child?" Lou Weihua asked.

"It's because I like children that I let you do this. Dad, I can't live without sons. They are more important than my life," said Xu Damao.

"Da Mao, is it that serious?" Lou Weihua asked.

"Dad, you are the one who is in the dark. The most frightening thing for people is to think that I can do it, it is impossible, I will never do it, or it is almost there. You should never be lucky at any time. You have built such a big family business, you should know these things. At some point, you have to give up some external things," said Xu Damao.

"Da Mao, I have also thought about your matter, but I have never made up my mind. Let's discuss it together when Zhang Dabao comes back. He is knowledgeable and knows many senior leaders, and he knows more than us." Lou Weihua agreed with Xu Damao's statement.

"I calculated that he would be back soon. He is getting married on May Day this year. His wife will definitely go with him after the wedding. You can see that he has almost arranged all his relatives and friends now. He should have realized something," said Xu Damao.

"Hey, let's have lunch together today. Damao, to be honest, I didn't expect you to think of this issue," said Lou Weihua.

"Dad, if I didn't have a son, I wouldn't think about these things. But it's different now. I'm not living for myself," said Xu Damao.

"Go and check on the children. They can lie down on their stomachs now, but they can only lift their heads for a short while. It's really fun to hear them babbling and talking to each other." When Lou Weihua talked about his grandson, the worry on his face instantly disappeared.

"Dad, isn't it too early to look up now? I have to go and check." When Xu Damao heard such a young child looking up, he was very upset and quickly ran upstairs to see his son.

On the second floor of Lou's house, Xu Damao played with the children for a while, had dinner with Lou Weihua, and then returned to the steel rolling mill. At this time, he told Lou Weihua what was in his heart and his mood calmed down.

Xu Damao returned to the office and took out a book to continue reading. Not long after he got to work, the factory broadcast rang, "Notice, in order to increase the income of employees' families, the factory's overseas office has contacted foreign trade embroidery orders. Now the cloth and money needed by the embroidery factory have been shipped abroad.

According to work needs, the Third Industry Company has now established an embroidery factory, with a factory director, a deputy factory director, an office worker, two accountants, ten quality inspectors, and six warehouse staff. Xu Damao from the Propaganda Department is appointed as the director of the Red Star Embroidery Factory, and other required personnel will be deployed from the Third Industry Company."

An appointment notice stunned the eyes of the Propaganda Department colleagues.

"Da Mao, no, Director Xu, you've been hiding too deeply and the span of your work is too wide. How did you get from a projectionist to a factory director? Tell me now," a colleague from the Propaganda Department asked Xu Damao.

"Brother Huang, please don't laugh at me. I'm still confused. This morning, Director Xu told me that our unit doesn't have a good projectionist and asked me to contact another one. So I went to the cinema this morning and asked my father to help me think of a solution. I thought I had offended my leader," said Xu Damao.

Xu Damao's statement was not recognized by everyone and was booed. Many people urged him to treat everyone to a meal. Xu Damao was not a stingy person and agreed to treat everyone to a meal at the state-owned restaurant in front of the factory gate the next day at noon. Only then did his colleagues in the Propaganda Department let him go.

After receiving the notice, Xu Damao found Xu Sinian immediately. Then he was sent to the tertiary industry company, where he met with manager Xiao Jingbin, and deployed staff and sorted out the office and warehouse.

The first job of the Red Star Embroidery Factory was to clean up. Five offices and two large warehouses were the entire industry. The next job was to train the family members of the employees. Xu Sinian and Li Huaide were also very supportive and first lent the Red Star Embroidery Factory a batch of cloth and needles for them to use for training.

Xu Damao also held a meeting for all employees and arranged tasks. He will look for teachers at the Textile College tomorrow, and the employees will contact Deputy Section Chief Zhang of the Women's Federation tomorrow, asking them to cooperate with him in counting the family members of employees who want to study. The preliminary plan is to conduct the first training the day after tomorrow, in the warehouse of his own factory, with the first batch of 200 people.

The tertiary industry company did not appoint a deputy director, but it had office staff and other personnel. All of them were children of employees of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and were young. The staff member's surname was Liu and he was nineteen years old. The two accountants were the oldest, both twenty-three years old. The average age of the other quality inspectors was eighteen. They were all energetic and enthusiastic, so they readily accepted Xu Damao's arrangements.
