Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 837 Work arrangements!

Lin Xuemei had worked for more than ten years, so she knew very well what it meant when a big shot like You Guokai suddenly announced his early retirement. So when she learned the news, she was shocked. At the same time, she also realized that the reason why You Changzheng was taken away was probably not simple.

Wu Aiguo saw Lin Xuemei's reaction and smiled and told her, "Sister Xuemei! You only need to know about Deputy Director You. Don't spread it outside."

After hearing Wu Aiguo's reminder, Lin Xuemei finally recovered from her shock and quickly assured Wu Aiguo, "Director! Don't worry, I am just listening to this from you and will never spread it outside."

When Wu Aiguo heard Lin Xuemei's promise, he thought that it would be Spring Festival in a few days, so he told Lin Xuemei: "Sister Xuemei! Spring Festival is coming in a few days. I have decided that on the 27th day of the lunar calendar, our company will do a general cleaning in the morning, distribute New Year benefits in the afternoon, hold a general meeting on the 28th, have a dinner in the cafeteria in the evening, and officially have a holiday on the 29th."

When Lin Xuemei heard Wu Aiguo's instructions, she nodded immediately and replied respectfully, "Director! I've remembered it. When I return to the office later, I'll arrange for someone to implement this matter."

When Wu Aiguo heard Lin Xuemei's answer, he thought about the issue of duty during the Spring Festival and told Lin Xuemei again, "Sister Xuemei! In addition, the matter of duty during the Spring Festival must also be clearly implemented. You can ask the office to issue a document and ask comrades in the department to voluntarily sign up for duty. In addition, comrades who volunteer to participate in the duty will be subsidized with three days' salary for every day they work."

When Lin Xuemei heard Wu Aiguo's arrangement for the Spring Festival duty, she nodded immediately and replied with a smile: "Director! If one day of duty is compensated with three days' salary, I believe that the unmarried employees in our company will definitely take the initiative to apply for duty."

At around noon, after Wu Aiguo finished his lunch in the cafeteria, he drove out of the office.

"Godfather! Why do you come to see Yanni and her brother just now? Yanni misses you so much." Twenty minutes later, Wu Aiguo came to the gate of Wenli's courtyard carrying a bunch of things. Little Yanni, who was skipping rubber rope with the neighbor's children at the gate, saw Wu Aiguo coming and quickly abandoned her friends and happily flew towards him.

When Wu Aiguo saw Xiao Yanni flying towards him, he quickly took out a handful of hard candies from his pocket and said to Xiao Yanni with a smile: "Xiao Yanni! Godfather is busy with work, so he doesn't have time to come and see you. These candies are for you. You can share them with your friends."

When Xiao Yanni saw the hard candy Wu Aiguo handed her, she immediately showed an ecstatic expression on her face and happily thanked Wu Aiguo: "Thank you, godfather!"

After hearing Xiao Yanni's thanks and watching her share the hard candies with her friends, Wu Aiguo put the cloth bag on the ground and walked towards the small yard.

When Wu Aiguo walked into the yard, he saw Wen Li washing clothes in front of the sink and immediately complained to her, "Wen Li! How many times have I told you to remember to heat some hot water when washing clothes in winter? Why do you ignore my words?"

When Wen Li heard Wu Aiguo's complaints, she felt warm in her heart and said to him with a smile, "Aiguo! It's just a few pieces of clothes. I'll finish washing them quickly."

When Wu Aiguo heard Wenli's answer, he looked around and asked Wenli curiously, "Wenli! Where is our Jingwen? Why can't I see him?" When Wenli heard Wu Aiguo asking about the child's whereabouts, she smiled and introduced him to Wu Aiguo, "Aiguo! Jingwen insisted on going to his grandmother's house, so I sent him to my mother's yesterday."

After learning where his son had gone, Wu Aiguo took the two bags in his hands into the main room, then walked back to the yard and said to Wen Li, "Wen Li! I've brought you ten kilograms of pork, thirty kilograms of flour, thirty kilograms of rice, five cans of fruit, two bags of milk powder, and some peanuts, melon seeds, and hard candies. I've put the things in the room for you. You'll have time to clean them up later."

After hearing what Wu Aiguo had said, Wen Li hung the washed clothes on the clothesline in the yard, and then complained to Wu Aiguo, "Aiguo! We haven't even finished eating the food you brought over last time, why are you bringing so much food again?"

Wu Aiguo smiled and replied when he heard Wen Li's words: "Isn't the Chinese New Year coming in a few days? The family should prepare some New Year's goods, right?"

Wen Li hung up the clothes and walked into the house quickly. She looked at the two cloth bags Wu Aiguo had placed on the table. While packing up her things, she said to Wu Aiguo, "Aiguo! Something is wrong now. Do you think I should ask for leave from school after the New Year? Or should I continue to stay in school to teach?"

When Wu Aiguo heard Wen Li's introduction, he immediately instructed her, "Wen Li! I'll find someone to write a medical record for you after the New Year. Then you can take the record and go directly to school to ask for leave."

"Also, find time to pack up the cheongsams and other petty-bourgeois items at home, as well as some of the books you read on weekdays, and then give them to me."

When Wen Li heard Wu Aiguo's instructions, she showed an incredible expression on her face and asked Wu Aiguo half-doubtingly: "Aiguo! Really?"

Wu Aiguo heard Wen Li's question and saw her half-believing and half-doubting expression. He nodded very affirmatively and replied, "Wen Li!"

When Wen Li heard what Wu Aiguo had said, she immediately showed a look of shock on her face, which had been half-believing and half-doubting. She quickly asked Wu Aiguo, "Aiguo! Will this involve you?"

When Wu Aiguo heard Wen Li asking about his safety, in order to reassure Wen Li, Wu Aiguo said to her insincerely, "But the work of our Trade Department is related to the country's economic development, I believe."

When Wen Li heard Wu Aiguo's insincere answer, she immediately realized that Wu Aiguo was not telling the truth, and hurriedly said to Wu Aiguo with concern: "Aiguo! Why don't you also ask for leave from your company and rest at home for a while?"

Wu Aiguo heard Wenli's naive thoughts and said to her with a smile: "Wenli! I am a cadre and the head of a unit. Do you think I can take a leave?"
