Chapter 208 Qingming Festival
Chu Yang didn't know that he was just asking a simple question.
The people below you can have so many ideas, and then implement them to the maximum extent according to your ideas.
There are many insightful people in this society, and power companies are no shortage of such talents.
Around three o'clock in the afternoon.
Fellow villager Chen Yi called Chu Yang again, and his tone was very sincere: "Director Chu, thank you, thank you so much, your help is really worth three times the effort, I appreciate your kindness, it has directly saved me a lot of losses."
Chu Yang was a little surprised: "The power has been restored, that's good, you are our biggest electricity user, just don't delay your production."
Chu Yang was a little confused at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood the reason.
It must be that Director Tang has learned to guess what I am thinking and then does it for me to see.
You have to sigh at the strong influence of power. A word from those in high positions can move mountains and fill seas. They can do everything others say. This is not the most amazing thing. Others can also help you do things that you want to do but dare not do.
This is really fascinating and fascinating. Who can not indulge in the game of power?
Chen Yi replied gratefully: "Well, Chu Yang, when are you free? We haven't gotten together for a long time. The wine in the trunk of my car is going moldy. Can you organize a party sometime? The boss doesn't care about us anymore."
The boss is naturally Uncle Huang. In the past, it was Uncle Huang who organized the fellow villagers to have meals together. After all, he is in that position, so he is naturally the boss.
Chu Yang: "I definitely can't do this. How can I brag? When can you organize a party? I don't know if others will come, but I will definitely be there."
Chen Yi: "You said so. I'll contact a few people in the Labor Court first, but it will take a few days. I'll go back to Baichuan to visit the graves tomorrow afternoon, and you should go back too."
Chu Yang thought for a moment and remembered his mother's nagging: "We should go back. Are you going to drive back? Is there any seat available? Take me with you." Riding in a car is really painful these days. Chu Yang has already started to consider buying a car.
The car can not only be driven, but also vibrate.
Chen Yi: "That's no problem. My wife and children won't be going back either. There may be two other fellow villagers, but it's not confirmed yet. I don't know if you have seen them. Anyway, there will definitely be a place for you, so don't worry."
Chu Yang: "Okay, then it's settled."
The good thing about fellow villagers is that you can get a ride from them whenever you want, but it’s not a big deal at other times.
Chu Yang had just hung up the phone when Director Tang called.
Director Tang was very kind: "Director Chu, let me report to you. Under your instructions, today's work was completed ahead of schedule. We also reported to the dispatcher as soon as possible and restored power to the users to ensure the timeliness of power supply."
Chu Yang wanted to laugh in his heart but he answered calmly: "Thank you for your hard work, Director Tang." In fact, he only needed to report these matters to the Biotechnology Department and Infrastructure Department. His own office didn't care about him at all. He was obviously asking for credit.
Director Tang continued with a smile, "It's not hard, it's not hard, it's what we should do. Director Chu is our role model, the youngest expert. We all hope that Director Chu will come to our institute to guide our work when he is free."
Really good at talking, the company atmosphere is really good.
Chu Yang could only smile and say: "Let's see when. I will definitely go."
Director Tang: "Then I will be waiting for you."
This idiom is used really well, and it has a bit of a dirty word to it.
The two chatted some more nonsense, greeted each other's parents cordially and then hung up the phone. Director Tang's calculations were actually very good. The people under them worked day by day, and they would do the work as long as they could.
It is your responsibility to do more and better. If you make a mistake, you will be punished and there will be no chance to show off at all.
So they all have the same mentality, they don't dare to sit and do nothing, but they are very smart, they have learned to slack off while working, that is, deliberately extend the working period, preferably half an hour's work and two days' work.
This is the highest level of slacking off.
However, Chu Yang received a phone call today, and Director Tang keenly smelled the opportunity to show off, so he naturally would not let it go. Although Chu Yang did not explicitly say that the power supply should be supplied earlier, a leader would not call you for no reason, so he knew that it didn't matter whether today's work was completed or not.
It is most important to supply power as quickly as possible.
No, he just did his work casually, finished his assignment quickly, and immediately called Chu Yang to take credit.
It must be said that his approach was very experienced. Chu Yang had to appreciate Director Tang's kindness no matter what.
No wonder Director Tang can become the director at such a young age, he really has some skills.
And between these two, isn’t the human relationship established just like this?
Won't Chu Yang take good care of him in the future?
Today is Qingming Festival , and there is only one day of statutory holiday. Aiguowang Power Company, as one of the largest power companies in the country, also follows the statutory statutory holiday and takes one day off. In fact, if they really cannot afford the holiday, they don't have to take it. It's so stingy, which makes people speechless.
A day off is actually really uncomfortable for outsiders.
Chu Yang didn't want to go home to sweep the graves, but his mother scolded him directly, saying that this was ungrateful. No matter how high the position was, he had to go home to sweep the graves. Chu Yang didn't go home last year because his uncles and aunts talked about it.
If Chu Yang didn't go home this time, he was afraid that his mother would define him as a traitor.
I had no choice but to go home.
At 5pm, Chen Yi drove to the office gate to pick up Chu Yang. After receiving his call , Chu Yang packed up and went to tell Mr. Xie, "Mr. Xie, tomorrow is Qingming Festival. I may have to go home to visit the graves, so I want to leave work half an hour earlier."
Mr. Xie said in a reproachful tone, "It's so late. If you had told me earlier, I would have approved two days of vacation for you. Why rush it like this?"
Chu Yang shook his head and smiled, "Mr. Xie, there's no need. I won't stay at home for long. My mother is nagging me and urging me to get married all day long."
Mr. Xie also said: "Chu Yang, you are not young anymore, it is time to find a wife and settle down. Do you have a girlfriend now?"
Chu Yang: "Boss Xie, please don't be like my mom. I'm leaving first. My fellow villagers are waiting downstairs."
After getting in the car, Chu Yang discovered that there were two other people inside.
A man with glasses was sitting in the passenger seat. Chu Yang knew him. His name was Chen Ming. He worked for Tiansheng Water Company and seemed to be a technician in a water plant.
There was another woman who looked familiar. Chu Yang felt that he had seen her before, but he couldn't remember her name. She was quite tall and wore a beautiful dress, but the parts above her were not too prominent.
But the butt is a bit exaggerated, as if it occupies half of the back row.
Chu Yang seemed to remember Yu|Puan's buttocks. Wasn't this the female teacher who had a blind date with him in his hometown?
Chu Yang looked into her eyes and felt sparks flying.
She should have recognized Chu Yang, because Chu Yang could clearly see many complicated emotions in her eyes.
There are surprises, surprises, and also resentments.
"Chu Yang, let me introduce you. This is Engineer Chen Ming, my cousin, who works at the water plant. Water and electricity are inseparable, so we are half colleagues. You can communicate more in the future. Chen Ming, this is the Chu Yang I told you about. He is a college student, but he is already the director of an electric power company at a young age. He has a bright future. You should learn more from him."
When the girl heard the three words "Director Chu", she was stunned.
"Hello, Director Chu."
"Nice to meet you." Chu Yang shook hands with him.
"And this beautiful lady, Director Chu, have you seen her? Her name is Lu Yingying, an art teacher at Butai No. 1 Middle School. She also opened an art institute. My son is also learning painting from her. Teacher Lu, this is the handsome Chu Yang, who is about your age and both are unmarried."
Lu Yingying!
Chu Yang looked at her, feeling a little embarrassed. He remembered that he had deleted her QQ follow-up. She added him twice, but he refused both times. However, he still spoke as if nothing had happened: "Hello, Teacher Lu."
She looked at Chu Yang with a pair of innocent yet resentful eyes: "Director Chu, I guess you don't remember me, right?"
Chu Yang: "The memory is still fresh, the memory is still fresh."
Chen Yi heard the two's strange reactions and asked in confusion, "Why, have you met before? Chu Yang, did you bully our beautiful teacher Lu?"
Chu Yang: "I dare not. How could I bully a beautiful woman?"
Lu Yingying began to complain: "Haha, Brother Yi, others didn't bully me, they just looked down on me. We once went on a blind date, and the other person didn't even look at me, and he refused to add me on QQ afterwards."
So Lu Yingying told the story. Although she used a lot of adjectives and described herself as pitiful, her attitude was pretty good and everyone laughed when she told the story.
Chu Yang could only answer awkwardly: "It was my mother who messed up that day. I had no idea what was going on and was completely confused when I went there, so... Anyway, Mr. Lu, please forgive me. I think you were forced to do that."
Chu Yang didn’t want to say it, you have dozens of people coming for a blind date, it’s scary, who wants to know you.
Lu Yingying replied: "I went there with the intention of making another friend, and the introducer said you were very handsome, but who knew you wouldn't give me any face at all." The teacher is really good at talking.
Chen Ming also laughed: "Haha, there is such a thing. You two are both handsome men and beautiful women, and you are so destined to be together. You are both single and your homes are close to each other. Why don't you just make do with each other..."
Lu Yingying had been chattering non-stop just now, but she stopped this time. She lowered her head slightly, her beautiful eyes moving around, and her face seemed to be a little red. She directly threw the question to Chu Yang to answer.
When she saw Chu Yang at that time, she thought that Chu Yang was handsome and very pleasing to the eye. Today he was even more handsome and extraordinary, and his temperament had a more mature charm of a man. She really liked him.
Chu Yang: "How can I be worthy of Teacher Lu? Please stop trying to match us up."
Lu Yingying didn't say anything, but there was a flash of disappointment in her eyes. She had seen countless people, so of course she knew that this was an excuse made by men, and he just looked down on the woman.
The four fellow villagers were having a great time riding in the car. To kill time, they played a game of idioms. At the beginning, Chen Yi and Chen Ming could guess a few, but later it became a competition between Chu Yang and Lu Yingying.
Lu Yingying seemed to be holding back her energy in wanting to win, but Chu Yang used to read books frequently, and his reserve of idioms was as abundant as bullets. He could burst out with them as easily as he was thinking casually. Lu Yingying was unable to resist, and she gritted her teeth in resentment and hatred.
Chen Yi was very happy and said, "Chu Yang, you are such a talented person, why don't you know how to give way to girls?"
Chu Yang: "I think doing your best is the greatest respect for girls. Teacher Lu will definitely agree."
Lu Yingying pouted and said, "I don't agree. You don't know how to be gentle with women. You will definitely never find a girlfriend in life."
The journey was boring, but it was quite interesting to bicker with her along the way.
Lu Yingying was the first to arrive. This time, Chu Yang was also very gracious and helped her move her suitcase. Before they parted, she asked again, "Director Chu, can you add me on QQ this time?"
Chu Yang didn't expect her to be so persistent: "Yes, of course."
Only then did she go back satisfied.
This back view and this frame are so big, it’s a pity for him to be a teacher.
When I returned home and saw my parents, I wasn't very excited. I brought a pair of shoes for each of them, and some ginseng. My mother was in poor health and needed ginseng to nourish her body.
However, my parents don’t care about this. They still say, “Spend less money. You’re getting older, so hurry up and find a wife and have a baby.” In their opinion, one can only start a career after getting married, or in other words, starting a career is not important, and having a baby is the most important thing.
Chu Yang is 26 years old now, which is considered old in their eyes.
Today, the eldest brother and sister are back, and the family is having a great time. After having a good meal, everyone starts preparing things for tomorrow's tomb sweeping. Chu Yang and his sister Chu Xi make steamed cakes.
According to the local custom, steamed cakes are usually needed when worshipping ancestors.
It's a pity that it's not enough. I don't know if I put too little cornstarch or not enough. Anyway, the final steamed cake is a bit wilted and not puffy enough, and it's not as plump as Mr. Lu's today.
But there is no other way, we can only let our ancestors down.
Early the next morning, Chu Yang picked up his hoe and set out with his parents. The Qingming Festival every year is actually a small family gathering. All the uncles and uncles from his father's and grandfather's generations will gather together.
When he arrived at the first grave, Chu Yang didn't know which great-grandfather or great-grandmother it was, but he just bowed down anyway. Several uncles were already weeding and digging ditches, sweating profusely.
When they saw Chu Yang, they all stopped. Third Uncle was the first to start teasing: "Hey, college students are back this year, what a rare guest."
Yes, Chu Yang has been going to college and has not come back. He also did not come back last year, so he has not been back for several years.
Third Aunt: "It's different now. Chu Yang is a high-ranking official. He must come back and tell Grandpa, otherwise Grandpa won't even know you exist."
Although it was all joking, Chu Yang was also quite embarrassed: "No, I really didn't have time before. I will try to come back every year in the future."
Fourth Uncle: "Chu Yang, if you had come back earlier and paid more respects, you might not be the deputy director now, but the general manager."
They didn't know that Chu Yang had become the director, and they hadn't even told their parents about it.
There's no need.
After all the discussions, if they finally returned to visit the graves, Chu Yang would be responsible for making the adobe bricks. This was a technical job. The quality of the soil was not good and the adobe bricks would easily fall apart. Chu Yang also put in a lot of effort.
After weeding and repairing, the grave, which was just a mass grave, was transformed into a well-decorated grave.
Everyone started to get their stuff, burning incense, candles, and paper money, and putting out their own chickens, ducks, geese, roasted pigs, and steamed cakes. This inevitably led to another round of comparisons. When everyone saw that the steamed cakes made by Chu Yang were not fluffy at all, there was another round of laughter.
"Chu Yang, your steamed cake is too stingy. If Taigong is unhappy after eating it, he won't bless you with promotion and wealth."
"If the steamed cakes don't make money, how can we talk about making a fortune? Chu Yang, this won't work. You don't have enough sincerity."
Chu Yang: "I believe that Taigong can feel my sincerity. It is not about the appearance, but about the heart."
"Haha, college students are different. They can speak without hesitation. You little brats should learn more from your brother Chu Yang. It would be great if you could be half as good as him."
A bunch of cousins were laughing, and Chu Yang realized that he seemed to be the oldest junior...
