Rebirth 1975: My Wife is Love-Brained

Zhu Dakang panted and said, "Old Xu called just now! He said that you should wait a moment! The factory has something else to ask you! They will be here soon!"

"Okay, I'll wait a moment!" Chen Yan hesitated and nodded.

What did Xu Zhanyuan want to talk to me about? Was there something wrong with the machine?

That shouldn't be the case. There is nothing wrong with the instruction manual that I translated myself.

Sitting in the Xinhua Bookstore, Zhu Dakang was packing up outside, and Chen Yan was alone in the office drinking tea from an enamel mug, feeling a little nervous.

at this time!

The roar of car No. 212 was heard outside, and then Xu Zhanyuan and Xu Haidong pushed open the door and walked in.

"Old Zhu! Old Zhu!"

As soon as he entered the door, Xu Zhanyuan started yelling at the top of his voice.

"Here they come! Old Xu, why are you yelling?" Zhu Dakang said unhappily.

"Where are the people? Where is Yanren Chen?" He asked Zhu Dakang eagerly.

At this time, Chen Yan heard the noise and walked out of the office, "Uncle Xu! Haidong! What do you want to talk to me about?"

Just now Chen Yan was about to leave, but Zhu Dakang caught up with him and said that Xu Zhanyuan asked Chen Yan to wait for a moment because he had something to discuss with him.

Only then did Chen Yan return to the Xinhua Bookstore.

He has been feeling a little uneasy for the past half day. Today is a very lucky day for Chen Yan, and he doesn't want to see everything arranged only to have something go wrong.

"Haha! That's good that you didn't leave! Old Zhu, thank you!" Xu Zhanyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Chen Yan, and said to Zhu Dakang next to him.

Zhu Dakang curled his lips, as if these words made him seem unreliable.

However, he did not say this out loud. Instead, he asked Xu Zhanyuan curiously, "What do you want from Chen Yan? If you want Chen Yan to work in your factory, don't even mention it! Comrade Chen Yan has now officially become a non-staff translator at our Xinhua Bookstore! You can't snatch him from me!"

Zhu Dakang added in his mind, although the formalities have not been completed, but... it will take half a day! The reserve is also a translator, so there is no problem with that.

Xu Zhanyuan glanced at Zhu Dakang and said, "Old Zhu! I'm not saying anything bad about you! You said you work at Xinhua Bookstore, so you are an intellectual, right? Can't you have a bigger picture? Don't I know Chen Yan's ability? Don't I know how important he is? Or do you think I don't have your ideological awareness? I didn't come to talk to Chen Yan about those trivial things!"

"Why is that?" Zhu Dakang asked a little embarrassedly.

His little trick was seen through by Xu Zhanyuan, and he felt somewhat embarrassed.

Xu Zhanyuan looked at Chen Yan and said sincerely, "Comrade Chen Yan! As the director of Lanshan County Chemical Plant, I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the 1,300 employees of Lanshan County Chemical Plant!"

Chen Yan didn't expect that Xu Zhanyuan came to him in a hurry just to thank him.

He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly waved his hand, "Uncle Xu! Don't be polite to me!"

"Haha! Okay! You're welcome, you're welcome! But you take this!"

Then he handed Chen Yan an envelope!

Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, "This is..."

"There are three hundred yuan in it! This is a reward from the factory. You translated that document, which directly ensured that our chemical plant could complete the production tasks assigned to us by the state and our superiors! It also protected these two machines! Your contribution is huge!"

Chen Yan pinched it and was shocked. Three hundred yuan, no wonder!

"Uncle Xu, I'm so sorry! Why don't you take the money back? Didn't you already give me two workers' quotas?"

However! Xu Zhanyuan smiled.

"I gave you those two quotas personally! You called me Uncle Xu! You helped me a lot today! I gave you two quotas within your scope of authority! But these three hundred yuan! They were given to you by the chemical plant! It's a reward for you!"

After hearing what Xu Zhanyuan said, Chen Yan stopped being hypocritical and said, "Then I'll accept it! Thank you, Uncle Xu! If you need me in the future, just let me know!"

"Okay! That's right! Let's go, it's almost time for dinner! How about we have dinner together?" Xu Zhanyuan took Chen Yan's hand and walked out.

Chen Yan shook his head. "Uncle Xu, let's have dinner another day! I'll treat you and Haidong later! Forget about today. It's getting late. I have to go back to the village. My wife is waiting for me at home!"

Xu Zhanyuan slapped his forehead!

"I almost forgot about this! It's okay, it's okay! Let's go eat first, and then I'll ask Haidong to drive you back to the village. If we drive, it won't take even half an hour!"

Having said that, he pulled Chen Yan and walked out without saying anything.

When they reached the door, Xu Zhanyuan said to Zhu Dakang, "Old Zhu, you should go too!"

"I thought you were going to get rid of me, Old Xu! I helped you this afternoon!" Zhu Dakang said quietly.

"You old brat!" Xu Zhanyuan cursed with a smile.

The group got on the bus and soon arrived at the state-owned hotel!

Xu Zhanyuan is obviously a frequent visitor here. After all, he is the director of a chemical plant and a big shot in a place like Lanshan County.

As soon as I entered, Sun Fuguo, the manager of the state-owned restaurant, came to greet me. "Hey, Director Xu, you're here! What would you like to eat today?"

"Are there any sheep today?"

"Yes, they were just delivered by the meat processing plant! Two-year-old castrated sheep!" Sun Fuguo said with a smile.

"Okay! Bring us some lamb ribs and a pot of stewed lamb! Put less radish and more lamb! Also, some braised pork!" After that, Xu Zhanyuan asked Chen Yan, "What would you like to eat?"

"I'm fine with it! Just get me some staple food later!" Chen Yan smiled.

"Then make a cold dish! Then stew tofu with tomatoes! And stir-fry some mushrooms! By the way, do you have Moutai?" Xu Zhanyuan thought for a while and asked again.

The food arrived very quickly. People's living standards were not very good those days. Even though Xu Zhanyuan was a big factory director, he didn't have such a table full of delicious dishes often.

This time, I am completely willing to spend all my money to entertain Chen Yan.

A few people were eating and chatting, and with a bottle of Maotai for four yuan, the taste was so delicious that even gods would not trade it for anything else!

I have to say that these days people don’t have much money in their stomachs.

If this amount of meat and vegetables were to be eaten in later times, it would probably be enough for six or seven people.

But now the four of them had finished eating it all, and finally they had four big bowls of meat soup noodles to finish off the meal.

After eating and drinking, Xu Zhanyuan went to pay the bill, but was told by Sun Fuguo, the manager of the state-owned restaurant, that the young man who had come before had already paid for it.

Xu Zhanyuan then remembered that Chen Yan had gone out once just now and said he was going to the toilet!

"Chen Yan, we agreed that I would treat you to this meal! What you did..." Xu Zhanyuan said awkwardly.

Chen Yan smiled and waved his hands, "We are all family, it doesn't matter who comes! Besides, Uncle Xu, I got the bonus from your chemical plant today, so it's only right for me to treat you!"

"Forget it, kid! I won't say any more!"

At this time, Sun Fuguo brought out a few lunch boxes and said to Chen Yan, "Comrade, everything you want is ready for you!"

"How much is the deposit for the lunch box? I will return the lunch box to you tomorrow!" Chen Yan asked as he handed the packed dishes.

Sun Fuguo waved his hand, "I know Director Xu! A few lunch boxes are not worth much! Just use them!"

"This is not a good idea!" Chen Yan said embarrassedly.

Xu Zhanyuan knew that Chen Yan was packing food for his wife at home, so he smiled and said, "Manager Sun has already said so! Just take it. At worst, we can come back to eat more often and take care of his state-owned restaurant's business!"

After Chen Yan thanked Sun Fuguo, they turned around and walked out. Xu Zhanyuan and Zhu Dahai went home, while Xu Haidong wanted to see Chen Yan off.

There are no traffic police these days, so there is no problem of drunk driving.

Moreover, the four of them shared a bottle of Moutai, and indeed they didn't drink too much.

Xu Haidong directly stuffed Chen Yan's bicycle behind the 212, fixed it in place, and then started the car.

But Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, "Haidong, you don't know the way, do you? Don't go this way when you go back to your husband's house!"

Xu Haidong smiled and said, "Let's go to the factory first and get some stuff!"

After hearing what Xu Haidong said, Chen Yan didn't know what to say.

But when they arrived at the chemical plant and saw Xu Haidong carrying out a lot of things in large and small bags and stuffing them into the car, Chen Yan was stunned.

"Who are you giving this gift to?"

"Here you go! My dad and I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some this afternoon! You've helped me so much, my dad has to thank you on behalf of the factory, right?"

Chen Yan suddenly smiled bitterly.

Uncle Xu and Xu Haidong really get along! They are so considerate!
