Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

After returning from Yushui County, Xu Huizhen secretly took out a batch of apple saplings from the space and gave them to He Yuzhu, asking him to plant them in the agricultural product base of the steel mill. He Yuzhu asked puzzledly: "Wife, where did you get so many saplings?"

Xu Huizhen replied, "I brought it back from Yushui County. I heard that this variety is very good. The fruit is large and tastes crisp and sweet. You can try planting it. Believe me, it's right."

He Yuzhu believed his wife's words without a doubt. Anyway, the fruit tree seedlings were still small, and after planting, sweet potatoes could be planted in the gaps between the fruit trees. So, he arranged for experienced fruit farmers to plant the fruit trees.

The Daqianmen Embroidery Factory was renamed the Daqianmen Handicraft Factory due to the expansion of its scale and the increase of its products. In order to facilitate management, it was upgraded from a street-run factory to a state-owned enterprise. At the same time, the higher-level government assigned a group of experienced managers to the handicraft factory.

After Xu Huizhen basically completed the straw and rattan weaving project and selected the products that needed to be produced in large quantities, she voluntarily resigned from her position as factory director and concentrated on serving as deputy director of the Daqianmen Neighborhood Committee.

The reason is that he has two children at home who need to be taken care of and no elders to help him, so he is not qualified for the position of factory director.

However, she made her attitude clear and said she would not ignore the future development of the factory. She would continue to develop new products in her spare time.

The mayor admired Xu Huizhen's intelligence and wisdom, and her selfless dedication and dedication to the public good were qualities that ordinary people did not possess. The mayor agreed to her request and allowed her to free up time to develop more new products.

You should know that the scale of the handicraft factory has expanded and a large number of workers have been recruited, mainly male comrades, to learn the production of handicrafts. This has also relieved the employment pressure on the municipal government.

The mayor also suggested that she be given a position as deputy director in the factory. She would not need to come to work every day. She could come when there was something to do and not come when there was nothing to do. Her salary would be paid as usual. The only requirement was that she should continue to pay attention to the development of the handicraft factory and develop new products.

This suggestion hit the mark exactly what Xu Huizhen wanted, but she said, "There's no need to pay me a salary. After all, I can't go to work every day. If I develop new products in the future, you can give me a living allowance based on my contribution." A salary that is too high can easily arouse jealousy.

In the original plot, in the next few years, when the country is in trouble, people with high salaries will voluntarily donate part of their money to support national construction. It won't go into their own pockets anyway, so why bother showing off?

Finally, the mayor weighed the pros and cons and decided that the handicraft factory would pay her 35 yuan per month. Xu Huizhen went to the Daqianmen neighborhood committee to continue to serve as deputy director. Director Wang was not in good health, so after Director Wang retired, Xu Huizhen would become director.

When the female workers in the embroidery factory heard that Xu Huizhen had resigned, they were very reluctant to let her go. They all got a job because Xu Huizhen founded the embroidery factory. This job is really good, with low labor intensity and clean and hygienic. So everyone has a deep gratitude towards Xu Huizhen.

Qian Fangfang, Wang Lijuan, Wu Chengfang and other female workers got together to discuss how to express their feelings.

Qian Fangfang suggested, "I heard that in ancient times, when good and honest officials were promoted and left, the common people would give them an umbrella with their names signed on it to express their respect and gratitude for their parents. Why don't we buy an umbrella, write our thoughts on it, or sign our names on it, and give it to Director Xu? What do you think?"

Her proposal was unanimously agreed upon.

So, on the day Xu Huizhen left, a group of female workers stood at the factory gate to see her off. Wang Lijuan, Qian Fangfang, and Wu Chengfang, each holding an umbrella, followed by a group of female workers. Everyone looked at Xu Huizhen reluctantly.

Xu Huizhen took the umbrella, which had many signatures of workers on it. In addition, there were different words, such as sincerity, intelligence, gratitude, unforgettable, eternal memory, reluctant to leave, Sister Huizhen, etc.

Xu Huizhen took the umbrella and was deeply moved by the sincerity of these workers. She felt that her efforts over the years had not been in vain and had been recognized by everyone. It could be said that she had reaped a lot of rewards.

Xu Huizhen smiled and said loudly: "Although I have resigned from the position of factory director, our factory was established by me. It is like my child. I hope it will thrive and become more and more prosperous. I am still the deputy factory director in the factory. Within three years, I will develop new products and projects suitable for female comrades. Please look forward to it!"

The speech was greeted with warm applause. Everyone had smiles on their faces and was filled with hope. Someone started singing a song that everyone in Daqianmen knew well:

There is only one Zhengyang Gate in the world

What kind of people live there?

Reasonable, respectable and ambitious

Honest and aboveboard...

After leaving the handicraft factory, Xu Huizhen focused her main energy on her family and children.

The neighborhood committee was supported by Director Wang, so it wasn't too busy. Everyone else in the neighborhood committee knew that Xu Huizhen also worked part-time as the deputy director of the handicraft factory, so they didn't mind her being late or leaving early. It was very free.

She lives a comfortable life. KunKun is over one year old, can walk, and can say some simple words, such as dad, mom, aunt, sister, eat, etc.

It looks very strong and cute, but very naughty and can't leave people for a moment. In the words of the common people, "It's just a naughty monkey caught from the mountain."

If you are not careful, you will get into trouble. Xu Jingli, who was originally very quiet, was also led astray by Kun Kun. A bunch of naughty kids are really tiring.

However, whoever has the child likes it, and the first thing He Yuzhu does when he gets home from get off work is to pick up his son and give him a kiss on the face. Then, he goes to the kitchen to cook.

Xu Huizhen and He Yuzhu lived in harmony and never quarreled. He Yuzhu was obedient to his wife. If she said that a toad had three legs, He Yuzhu would nod and say, "Yes, yes! I saw it yesterday. It has three legs."

If Xu Huizhen said that the sun rises from the west, He Yuzhu would say, "Yes, I saw it, and it sets from the east."

He Yuzhu spoils his wife to the extreme. He said without blushing: "I married my wife to spoil her. If I listen to her, I will have food to eat! I love my wife and I am proud of her!"

Xu Jianshe celebrated his birthday on May 28th, which meant he would be of marriageable age. He and Hu Yingzi were afraid that things would get complicated if they waited too long, so they went to get their marriage certificate that day without wasting a single day.

Because of the incident that Mr. Xu had caused before, Xu Jianshe had not returned to his hometown in the past few months, nor had he sent money to his parents.

Because he knew that if he married Hu Yingzi, his parents would not give him any help, so he saved all his salary for the wedding.

Xu Jianshe gave Xu Huizhen five yuan a month, which she saved for him and used to buy them a bicycle. Hu Yingzi also gave her five yuan a month for living expenses after she started working. Xu Huizhen used the money to make four quilts and two sets of new clothes for them.

The two decided to keep the wedding simple, inviting close relatives to a meal, handing out some wedding candies to colleagues at work, and that was it. As for the parents of both families, they didn't expect anything from them.
