Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

Xu Damao was busy from the moment he took office at the Red Star Embroidery Factory, and he was busy all the time until the end of the day. This was the first time he was so busy since he joined the factory at the age of seventeen, so he felt a little tired when he got off work, and he didn't ride his bike fast, thinking about tomorrow's affairs as he walked.

Being in charge of personnel in a unit is a lot of work. I haven't even started yet. I don't know how much work there will be once I start. But it's also quite fulfilling. It feels great to have a group of people listening to your instructions.

Jia Dongxu has basically sorted out his work, so he is relatively relaxed every day. Today, a colleague from the suburbs came to visit, and he had a drink at noon, which delayed him a little in the afternoon, so he got off work a little late. But a brother unit brought a few wild rabbits to the post office, and he, as a middle-level leader of the Red Star Post Office, was also assigned one, so he was very happy. After finishing his work, he rode his bicycle all the way home.

"Brother Dongxu", when he was almost home, his good brother Chang Kuan saw him and greeted him.

"Chang Kuan just met Aunt Liu yesterday, and then I met you today. Are you so busy at work? I haven't seen you since the Chinese New Year." Jia Dongxu got off the bicycle.

"Brother Dongxu can't be said to be very busy, but he is too tired. He carries heavy bags every day and is exhausted after a day's work. He just wants to lie in bed and doesn't want to go out to play at all," said Chang Kuan.

"Really? Come to my place for dinner tonight. Our company gave out a wild rabbit today. I'll go home and fry it, and we'll have a drink," said Jia Dongxu.

"No, Brother Dongxu, you guys eat by yourselves. Food is so expensive nowadays." Chang Kuan rejected Jia Dongxu.

"No matter how precious something is, can it be as precious as the feelings between brothers? Listen to me, you can go now or go home and change clothes and come. Don't make me call you, you have to come," Jia Dongxu said to Chang Kuan.

"Okay, Brother Dongxu." Chang Kuan knew that Jia Dongxu was a leader now, but he didn't expect that Brother Dongxu was still so good to him. It really fits the old saying that a rich man cannot change his wife, and a noble man cannot change his friends.

Jia Dongxu left, and Chang Kuan's home was closer, so he returned home earlier than Jia Dongxu.

"Mom, what are you busy with?" Chang Kuan returned home and saw his mother bought a few bags of snacks and two bottles of wine and was putting them into her net bag.

"What can I do? Aren't you tired? I'll go find Zhang Cuihua later and see if she can help you find a job. She's a cadre now, I wonder if she still cares about our years of relationship," said Liu Chuncao.

"Mom, don't go. Brother Dongxu is inviting me to dinner tonight. I'll bring two bottles of wine and see if I have a chance to ask Aunt Jia," Chang Kuan said.

"Jia Dongxu invites you to dinner? Why?" Liu Chuncao didn't understand.

"Is there any reason for us brothers to have a meal together? Brother Dongxu's unit distributed wild rabbits today, and he invited me to come over and try some," Chang Kuan said.

"Then go by yourself. I think Jia Dongxu can do it. He is also the leader of the unit now. However, his unit is too small and it is not easy to recruit new people. In fact, being a postman is also good. Not only is the work easy, but you can also get a bicycle," said Liu Chuncao.

"Okay, I'll change my clothes." Chang Kuan changed his dirty clothes.

Jia Dongxu returned home and told his mother that he would invite Chang Kuan to dinner today. Zhang Cuihua had no objection to her son's normal social activities and suggested that he invite He Yuzhu to accompany him.

"Banggeng, go call your uncle. Chang Kuan is coming to our house for dinner today," said Jia Dongxu.

Bang Geng ran out and almost bumped into Xu Damao who was trying to enter the door.

"Da Mao is here. Let's have dinner at home tonight and have a drink. I've invited Zhuzi and Chang Kuan," Jia Dongxu said to Xu Damao.

"I just want to come to your house for a meal." Xu Damao put the things he brought on the table.

"Da Mao, what does this mean? Do I need to bring such a heavy gift just to have a meal?" Jia Dongxu saw two bottles of wine, two cans, and two bags of snacks, and he couldn't understand.

"Brother Dongxu, this is to thank Aunt Jia. Today she recommended me to Director Xu to be the director of the Red Star Embroidery Factory. I have already taken office and am now a section-level cadre like you," said Xu Damao.

"Da Mao, we are all brothers, it's being too distant. Take the things home," said Jia Dongxu.

"Da Mao, Dongxu is right. We are neighbors now, and you and Dongxu grew up together. Besides, it was you who came up with the idea of ​​this embroidery factory. Take the things back. Dongxu has invited Chang Kuan and Zhuzi to dinner, and you can have a drink with them." Zhang Cuihua also came over to persuade Xu Damao.

"Aunt Jia, let's do this. We'll have canned food as extra dishes tonight, drink the wine, and I'll take the snacks back after dinner," said Xu Damao.

"Da Mao is not suitable," said Zhang Cuihua.

"Aunt Jia, isn't it normal for me to bring some food and drinks with me when I come to eat and drink? Let's do this. Brother Dongxu is now a chef-level chef, and I have to have a good drink. I also have some business to discuss with you," said Xu Damao.

"I have some official business, let's talk about it." Zhang Cuihua sat down. Seeing this, Jia Dongxu didn't say anything else and went to the kitchen to cook.

"It's about training personnel. Tomorrow I'll ask my colleagues from the embroidery factory to come to you. You know the family members of our unit better. We will start by training those with difficult families. You all know these families, so let these families be trained first and do the work first. We must train them in batches. There are too many family members in our unit and we cannot train them all at once," said Xu Damao.

"No problem. This is also my job in our unit. There are five of us. We will split into five groups tomorrow. Damao, how many people do you plan to train first?" Zhang Cuihua asked.

"The first batch will be 200 people. I will go to the Textile College tomorrow to make some arrangements. I don't know how many teachers they will send. It would be best if we could have two teachers. Then we can open two classes and train 400 people," said Xu Damao.

"Let's wait and see first," said Zhang Cuihua.

"Aunt Jia, Brother Damao" Chang Kuan came over with two bottles of wine.

"Chang Kuan, please sit down. I haven't seen you for a long time. What are you busy with?" Xu Damao asked.

"Brother Damao, I went to the moving team of the street office. I carried big bags every day. After get off work, I just wanted to rest and hardly went out," said Chang Kuan.

"I was wondering why I didn't see you." Xu Damao poured a glass of water for Chang Kuan. At this time, He Yuzhu also came out of the kitchen with two dishes in his hands, one was the canned meat brought by Xu Damao, and the other was fried peanuts.

"Da Mao, you are very big now. You have become the factory director," He Yuzhu sat down and teased Xu Damao.

"Zhu Zi, who are you laughing at? I am a factory director at the section level, how can I compare with your deputy section chief?" Xu Damao said with a smile.

"Brother Damao has also become a leading cadre?" Chang Kuan on the side said in surprise.

"What kind of leader? There are less than 20 people in this new unit. It was Aunt Jia who recommended me to the factory leaders as the factory director," Xu Damao said modestly.

"Recommended by Aunt Jia? She is amazing!" Chang Kuan opened his mouth wide.
