Zhu Tian: The Fiery Years Begin with Taking Qin Huairu as a Concubine

Chapter 230 Picking up relatives

Kaizhen's father was so happy that he was about to fall down, and her mother quickly supported him.

Aunt Li said quickly:
"Xiu Lan! Go home quickly to take a shower and change into clean clothes. Her father, go and see if there are any ready-made clothes in Xiang Yi Zhuang and buy Xiu Lan a nice set of clothes. Don't wear torn clothes to work. It's embarrassing!"

Uncle Gui said in an awkward voice:
"There is no clothing made in Xiangyi Village now, they just sell some cloth, what kind of clothes can I buy?!"

Kaizhen's father said quickly:
"Her mother! Don't help me! Go find a way to buy clothes for Kaizhen. There's money in the jar in the corner!"

"If that doesn't work, I'll just pawn my cotton-padded jacket. Winter is over anyway."

Yi Kaizhen said quickly:
"Dad! It's snowing here! There should be work clothes in the factory. I saw that everyone was wearing two sets of thick work clothes."

Li Xiulan wiped the corner of her mouth again and muttered:

"What are you taking a shower for? I just took a shower yesterday."

Aunt Li quickly pulled her aside and said:

"You took a shower yesterday, so hurry up and buy some clothes. Take a good shower tonight. You'll be going to work soon, so you can't be careless!"

She turned her head and said to Tian Zao with a smile:
"Zao! Auntie knows that you are a blessed girl! Come to Auntie's house for dinner tonight. What do you want to eat? Ask your uncle to buy it quickly. If not, serve the dishes!"

Dates:

"........."

She said quickly:
"Professor Zhang just took us to a dragon for dinner, and we were so full of meat!"

Kaizhen's mother said with a smile:
"Work clothes are for outer wear, so you have to wear new clothes underneath. You can't bring shame to our family."

Yi Kaizhen muttered:

"I wear my second brother's old clothes. There are eight hundred holes on each piece of clothing. Why should I be ashamed?!"

Kaizhen's mother smiled and said:

"You will be the boss in the family from now on, let them pick your flowery clothes to wear!"

Kaizhen's eldest brother said quickly:

"Kaizhen! As long as it's wearable, I don't mind flowery clothes. Tomorrow morning, my second brother and I will take you to work."

.....................

When Zhang Kaiwu returned home, Qin Huairu looked at him puzzledly, looking left and right.

Zhang Kaiwu stared at her fiercely and said angrily:
"Sister Huairu! What are you looking at!? Do you want to be beaten now that you have become the director?"

Qin Huairu looked at his hand, hugged him and asked:
"Brother Kaiwu! Why are you acting weird? Why are you holding the corner of your clothes? Did your clothes get torn?"

Several girls looked at his hand at the same time. Qin Huairu thought of something and said in surprise:
"Were you caught soliciting prostitution? The newspaper said that a stamp would be stamped on the corner of your clothes! Put your hands down and let me see!"

Mr. Lu Xun said: The more you fear people will know something, the more likely it is to be known.

Zhang Kaiwu opened his hand, stared at Qin Huairu fiercely and said:
"Sister Huairu! Go upstairs and report for the dictation! I was just passing through the Eight Great Hutongs and was misunderstood by others, so I didn't do that!"

"Who am I, Zhang Kaiwu? Why would I do such a thing?!"

Su Xiaoyao said quickly:
"Brother Kaiwu would never do such a thing. If he went there to play, he wouldn't have to spend any money!"

Qin Huairu stared at him angrily and said:

"I recognize the word 'whore' on the corner of your clothes. You must have been caught! You just reported for dictation yesterday. How could you report again so soon? You just want to get revenge on me!"

Chen Xueru smiled and said:

"Sister Huairu! Maybe there is a misunderstanding. The word 'whore' has been washed, but not clean. Hehehe!"

"Brother Kaiwu! Take off your clothes and I'll wash them for you with gasoline! Hehehe!"

Zhang Kaiwu said viciously:
"And sister Xueru! You all go up and report for the dictation. I will report to you personally today. You don't do your work every day, but just care about these trivial things!"

He called all four people up to report for dictation without leaving any one behind, and this time he checked very strictly.

Xu Huizhen didn't write a single word, so she was punished to copy it a hundred times.

Chen Xueru wrote two words wrong and was punished to write each word 100 times.

Qin Huairu obviously can't write three characters, she wrote them vaguely, trying to get away with it. Her attitude is very bad, and she is severely punished by copying each character 200 times!

Lin Xiaoniang didn't find any problems with it, so Zhang Kaiwu checked it over and over again and found an extra ink spot there.

He said with a serious face:

"Mrs. Lin! The cleanliness of the paper reflects a person's attitude towards life. How can you do anything well if you are like this?"

"I'll forgive you this time. Be more careful next time. Go wash the corners of your clothes!"

Lin Xiaoniang took the clothes to wash with a smile, and Qin Huairu started to copy the typos angrily.

She didn't dare to say anything about Zhang Kaiwu being arrested. She muttered:

"Brother Kaiwu! We are free now. When are you going to pick up my mom and the others to come play?"

Zhang Kaiwu thought about it and said with a smile:

"I have something to do tomorrow morning, so I'll pick them up in the afternoon. It's a good opportunity to bring them here to play for a few days and celebrate the Lantern Festival. We've just been liberated this year, so the Lantern Festival will definitely be very lively."

Seeing Zhang Kaiwu was about to pick up his family to play, Xu Huizhen quickly said:
"Huizhi's parents and I live close to them, so we can just go pick them up ourselves tomorrow morning."

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:

"That's fine! Your village is very safe, there are troops stationed there. But you have to be careful and go a little later."

"Take them to the courtyard first. It's a spacious place. You can bring some snacks and food with you. With so many people coming, they need to eat a lot."

"Since we have brought them here, we must let them play well for a few days and then send them back after the Lantern Festival."

Sister Xu Huizhen quickly said:
"Brother Kaiwu! Then let's haul some stuff over there tomorrow, and then go out to pick them up."

After thinking for a while, he went to the young lady's room and asked:
"We are going to Qinjiatun tomorrow afternoon to pick up some people to celebrate the Lantern Festival. Do any of you want to go back?"

He actually just wanted to ask Liang Ladi and her sister. The young ladies definitely didn't want to go back. Their parents were already here, so what was there for them to do back?

It all depends on the attitude of Liang Ladi and her sister.

One of them was sold, and the other was driven out. Zhang Kaiwu had no idea what their mood was.

Sure enough! Liang Ladi and her sister's attitude was unexpected, but reasonable. They were all very happy. Liang Ladi hugged him and said:
"Brother Kaiwu! I want to go there too. I want to invite my parents to come over to celebrate the Lantern Festival and make them happy."

Even Liang Hongyu said happily:

"I want to go and see it too. Bring my younger brother to see the city of Peking. They have never seen a city before."

Alas! Even though they experienced such a tragic situation, they didn’t actually complain about their parents. It was not easy for everyone, they just wanted to survive!

Life after being sold has been very happy!
Liang Ladi must be very happy about being sold out! ?

.....................

The next morning, Tian Zao and the other four girls were called up by people in the yard.

Meihe was also dressed up by Chunxier, and Aunt Li took care of the child for Chunxier.

Sister Tian Zao is still yawning!

Uncle Gui had already prepared a bowl of wontons for each of them and a sesame seed bun for each of them. They finished their breakfast just as the sun rose.

Kaizhen's two brothers, together with Uncle Gui, escorted them to work, and Suo Qian secretly followed behind to watch the fun.

After seeing them enter the medical school and Zhang Kaiwu pick them up, the group dispersed.

Zhang Kaiwu took them to register and arranged for them to learn to be technicians. It doesn't matter if they can't read, they can learn slowly!
They took photos of them, gave them a temporary work permit to hang around their necks, and gave them two sets of white work coats.

Among the four girls, only Tian Zao was holding her work clothes and said worriedly:
"Brother Kaiwu! I can only write the word jujube. How can I be a technician?!"

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:

"It's okay! There are special classes in the factory where you can learn to read and work at the same time!"

Tian Zao said excitedly:

"What if I can't learn it!?"

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:

"You have plenty of time, so just learn slowly. It's actually very simple! I'll take you to a place to rest first. If you don't want to go back sometimes, you can rest here."

There is a shortage of dormitories in factories nowadays, and the number of people exceeds the standard by far.

He also asked Secretary Hu to find a way to free up her room and get them a room so that they could live in it together with Secretary Hu.

The four girls looked at the modern things in the room with surprise.

Lights, fans, upstairs, downstairs.

Radiators, Simmons mattresses, hot and cold water pipes, electric fans, and brand new bedding were luxuries enough for them.

The four girls touched and touched happily, looking at this resting place.

After packing up and changing into work clothes, Zhang Kaiwu took them downstairs to the factory workshop and found Xiaojiu.

He smiled and said, "Xiaojiu! They will be arranged to learn to be technicians in the future. They will learn to work and learn to read at the same time."

Xiaojiu smiled and said sarcastically:

"Senior! They are all technicians learning to read, I get it!!!"

"The first batch of products in the factory will be out of the production line in four days, and I haven't seen you come to the factory to show your concern."

Zhang Kaiwu said with a smile:
"You are responsible for this matter. I may not know as much as you do! It's all assembly line work. What am I here to see!?"

Xiao Jiu looked at his smiling and lying expression and said with a smile:

"You designed and renovated this factory yourself, but now you want to be lazy and you don't know anything. Just keep talking nonsense!"

Tian Zao and the others looked at the huge factory in amazement. There were shiny stainless steel pipes everywhere, and there were Eastern European female workers helping out.

It turns out that foreigners can also do things! ?

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and prepared to leave.

Tian Zao quickly pulled him aside and said:
"Brother Kaiwu! You haven't celebrated with me alone yet!"

Zhang Kaiwu rubbed her and said with a smile:

"No rush! You just joined the company, and I have a lot of things to do today. It won't be too late once you get your work done! Come find me if you have any questions. I'm in the lab in front."

Zhang Kaiwu took the aggrieved Secretary Hu out of the factory.

Ask Secretary Hu to notify Feng San, who used to build the house, to continue building the factory dormitory building.

Thinking that the Lantern Festival is coming soon, the girls are all paupers and their wages last month were still rice.

The secretary had something to do, so Zhang Kaiwu returned to the office and said to Hu Meiniang:

"Secretary Hu! Take Tian Tian and discuss with the dean and the finance office to allow the employees to receive this month's salary in advance before the Lantern Festival. We can't let the girls have more money than they deserve."

Hu Meiniang said in surprise:

"What about advance payment of wages? What is the wage standard in this factory? And who will pay the money?"

Zhang Kaiwu thought for a moment and said:
"The wage standard for ordinary workers is set at 1 million yuan, and the wage standard for team leaders and technicians is set at 1.5 million yuan. During the Lantern Festival, an additional subsidy of 150,000 yuan will be given to all employees, 50,000 yuan for heating, and 50,000 yuan for sanitation. The advance payment will be based on their monthly wage standard."

"Just follow my advice. As for what the medical school means and who will allocate the money, let them decide."

"If it's inconvenient for them, we can collect our own wages, settle payments, and do independent accounting in the penicillin factory in the future. But remember, don't bring up these matters!"

"After a long time, we will have to re-evaluate the work of the girls. Those who do a good job should of course get a raise. We will also punish those who do not do a good job, and in serious cases, we will fire them!"

After thinking for a while, he wrote a detailed list of various expenses and the payment standards for personnel at all levels to Secretary Hu.

Secretary Hu smiled and said:

"Professor Zhang! The penicillin factory is a treasure trove. How could they allow us to calculate our own accounts? Then what is my salary standard? "

Zhang Kaiwu rubbed her and said with a smile:

"What I'm talking about is a method. It would be best if we don't have to use it."

"You should first set the basic salary at 2.8 million, the same as Director Qin and the others."

Secretary Hu squinted his eyes, smiled and whispered:

"You damned bastard, you still have a conscience. If you let Xiaoqing and the others get the same basic salary, I will die in front of you!"

"I heard from Director Qin and the others this morning that Professor Zhang, you were arrested for going to a brothel!?"

Ha ha ha ha ha!
Huairu girl, you guys are so good!

They definitely didn't believe it and were just joking about it!

As the saying goes: make fun of it!
Zhang Kaiwu explained with a smile:

"It was Chun Xier, the sister of Tian Zao. I went to Chun Hua Lou to redeem her, but I was misunderstood."

"How could I, an upright person like Zhang, do such things!?"

Secretary Hu squinted her eyes and said with a charming smile:

"Then why did you redeem Chun Xier? She is still a top prostitute. Is it because she is good at martial arts? "

In fact, she also didn't believe that Zhang Kaiwu would go to a brothel. That charming look with slanted eyes must be too lonely. He must be asking for a beating on purpose!
I see! She is not convinced!
Zhang Kaiwu rubbed her, played with two big walnuts, and asked her to practice drinking techniques.

Wait until the weather gets hot.

They grabbed Secretary Hu and beat her up until she cried and shouted desperately, promising never to believe or spread rumors again.

Be down-to-earth in life and work!

She put in all her effort.

.....................

Zhang Kaiwu returned home. Sister Xu Huizhen had already taken their families to the courtyard and the car had returned.

The excited sisters Huairu and Liang Ladi were waiting for him. When they saw him coming back, they set off in two jeeps.

The Xu Huizhen sisters were thrown into Nanluoguxiang and asked to play with their parents. The jeep drove along Di'anmen Street.

Zhang Kaiwu was sitting in the passenger seat with a cigarette in his mouth, looking at the excited Huairu and giving her directions.

When we got out of the city and onto the main road, Huairu realized what was happening and said with a smile:

"Brother Kaiwu! I know what's going on when I get here! If we follow this road, we will reach our village!"

He could understand Huairu's excitement.

It has been almost half a year since I left home. In this chaotic world, everyone misses their loved ones.

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:

"Sister Huairu! Drive slower, don't lose Sister Ladi."

Qin Huairu said with a chuckle:

"They are not stupid. They are out of the city and know the way."

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:

"You are the idiot! Did I mean they don't know the way? I was afraid they might be in danger, so I asked them to take care of me!"

Qin Huairu said in surprise:

"Ah! So dangerous?"

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:

"What else? Why should I accompany you to pick someone up!?"

The distance inside Qinjiatun is really too close for driving.

Even though they were female drivers, thirty minutes later, two Willys jeeps turned into Qinjiatun and slowed down.

There were shouts everywhere in the venue:
"It's Huairu who drove back! She's totally become a city dweller!"

"It's the Zhang Kaiwu family that's back!"

"Wow! They drove back two big cars!"

"Is Huairu driving? She actually knows how to drive!!"

"Huai Ru! Huai Ru!"

Huairu's brothers and sisters-in-law were already running after the car, jumping up and down and shouting for help.

Sister Huairu proudly honked the horn to hail people, then parked the car in front of her house. Zhang Kaiwu got out with a smile and scattered a cloud of smoke.

Said to Sister Liang Ladi:

"Ladi! Go pick them up quickly. We'll be waiting for you here. Go pick them up and join us."

Liang Ladi and her sister drove away. They really knew that Zhang Kaiwu didn't like their parents either, so they didn't dare to make any demands to Zhang Kaiwu!

Sister Huairu jumped out of the car, greeted her sisters-in-law, and talked to her mother about her current job with a smile.

Young and promising Director Qin!

Monthly salary is 2.8 million.

Qin Huairu's father and her four brothers knew her character, and they surrounded her and tried to get close to her!

Zhang Kaiwu asked with a smile:

"Dad and Mom! Were you okay last winter? Did you not suffer from hunger or cold?"

The father-in-law smiled and asked:

"Kaiwu! Thanks to the food and cotton-padded jackets you left behind, things are much better than in previous years. How many days do you plan to stay this time?"

The mother-in-law smiled and said:
"Kill two chickens to warm you up in the evening."
