After a meal of dumplings, Ye Haoran sat on the Kang, with a rectangular short-legged table in front of him that had not been taken away after the meal.
Zhou Rong came in with boiling hot water and refilled the teapot to make a pot of hot tea.
The tea was brought back by Zhou Rong. She was afraid that Ye Haoran wouldn't be able to drink it, so she brought two cans with her.
The aroma of tea overflows, and it is very pleasant to drink two cups after a meal.
"Bingkun, I have something to ask you for help."
After the tea was brewed, Ye Haoran poured a cup for Zhou Bingkun and talked while pouring it.
Zhou Bingkun nodded in agreement and said, "Well, brother-in-law, just ask if you have any questions. If you can help, I will definitely help."
"Help me find a place to live. It's more remote. You can buy or rent it. I'm going to be here for a while, so I have to have a place to live."
Zhou Bingkun was stunned and turned to look at Zhou Rong.
Zhou Rong replied: "Look at what I do. He has work to do. It's not convenient for him to live in our house."
"oh!"
Zhou Bingkun thought that his sister had not developed to that point with Ye Haoran.
He lowered his head and thought for a moment and then asked: "Is the old house okay? It should be easier to find it here. Give me a few days to find out."
"Haha, okay, don't worry, I'll stay in the guest house for a few days. If I have any news, just tell your sister."
"no problem!"
Zhou Bingkun happily agreed.
Ye Haoran didn't know if anyone was paying attention to him, but in order to be secretive, he definitely couldn't live in a guest house. It would be safer to find someone else to do it.
After sitting on the kang and chatting for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Ye Haoran was about to get up and say goodbye.
Li Suhua walked in and saw Ye Haoran was about to leave, and asked politely: "I won't be waiting for a while, I'm leaving now."
"I won't wait any longer. It's getting late. Go back and clean up. I still have work to do tomorrow. Come back when you have time."
Ye Haoran smiled and got dressed, and Li Suhua didn't hold back too much.
"Okay, come back when you have time, but don't buy anything."
It is not that easy for Li Suhua to accept Ye Haoran immediately. Although he is excellent in every aspect, a mother hopes that her children can be happy.
Acceptance also has a process, so after saying a few polite words, he followed Zhou Rong to send Ye Haoran out of the house.
Ye Haoran waved his hand and left the Zhou family to go back to the guest house.
Zhou Rong followed Li Suhua back to the house until she couldn't see Ye Haoran's back.
Zhou Bingkun walked at the end, feeling reluctant to part with the unfinished tea on the kang table. Just as he was about to climb up, he was kicked off by Li Suhua.
"Go back to your room, your sister and I have something to say."
"We are all one family, there is nothing I can't listen to!"
Zhou Bingkun muttered, and finally returned to his cabin obediently.
Li Suhua closed the door, pulled Zhou Rong down on the kang, and asked anxiously as soon as she sat down, "Rong, I don't think there's anything wrong with him, it's just how he treats you."
"It was very good to me. When I first went there two years ago, they prepared a house for me and arranged a job. I was not tired and saved a lot of money."
As she said that, Zhou Rong took out the wallet from her bag. This wallet was given to her by her partner when they came to the steel rolling mill to discuss cooperation. It was said to be a foreign product. She forgot which country it was from, but it was quite precious anyway.
"Mom, take these. If I'm not at home, treat it as my filial piety to you."
Zhou Rong took out a pile of money and tickets from the wallet, and Li Suhua suddenly felt hot.
"Rong, why do you have so much money?"
"Mom, take it. I have saved a lot of money in the past two years. I still have a lot to give you. You can buy whatever you want. Don't be reluctant to part with it."
Zhou Rong pushed Li Suhua's hand and motioned for her to put the money away.
But Li Suhua was still worried and asked: "Won't Ye Haoran be angry if you give mom money?"
"Pfft" Zhou Rong laughed: "Why is he angry? He pays me the salary, and he doesn't care about me asking for money. He has plenty of money, so don't worry about it."
As the leader of the factory, Ye Haoran found it not easy to get money.
As long as it is reasonable, legal and compliant, you can still eat well.
Unlike when Director Yang was in office, he was not as honest as he was when he was only focused on work but could not achieve results. He was mature and prudent and maintained stability, but if he wanted to achieve breakthroughs, Director Yang's vision and ability were a bit worse.
He would not be like Li Huaide who grabbed the small head and threw the big head away. His eyes would only focus on the little oil and water in the factory and make small moves.
Ye Haoran not only became rich himself, but also led all the brothers in the factory to become rich together.
After taking the position, he immediately cooperated with steel processing units such as the bicycle factory, boiler room factory, etc. to reduce costs and increase production capacity, and then continued to expand employment and production.
Although workers' wages have not been increased due to regulations, various welfare benefits are getting better and better.
Ye Haoran has come up with many ways to improve his salary, such as high-temperature subsidies and holiday subsidies. While increasing his income in disguise, he will also provide some welfare benefits such as dividing pork and eggs.
In today's steel rolling mill, under the leadership of Ye Haoran, no one can agree upon it.
Even if the department has a lot of objections to Ye Haoran, they can't do anything to Ye Haoran.
Although the ministry still does not provide subsidies or support, superficial praise is still needed.
Ye Haoran returned to the guest house, washed himself and went to bed early.
Early the next morning.
After getting up, I went to the nearby market for a quick bite and then went to the post office.
As soon as the post office opened, Ye Haoran was the first one.
"Hello, what should I do?"
"Send a letter and make a phone call."
The eldest lady at the window said without raising her head: "Two cents for a stamp, and a minute charge for long-distance calls."
Ye Haoran put the stamps he had just bought on the envelope he had prepared in advance and handed it over. Then he picked up the phone on the counter and dialed.
'Du~du~du~'
"Hey! Who's there?"
The person who came out on the phone spoke with a southern accent, and Ye Haoran said calmly and in a low voice: "Look for my uncle!"
"Which one is your uncle? You must have made the wrong call."
"That's right, the specialties at home are ripe. My uncle said in advance that he would send some to him. Two pounds of grass and three pounds of cotton. Big pears are not sweet and don't cost any money."
"I don't want pears and I won't give you any money. I just mail some cotton to celebrate the New Year."
After the two parties exchanged the codes, they fell into silence.
A few minutes later, the boss's voice came over the phone.
"Xiaoye, are you here?"
"Boss, I'm here. I'll transfer the manpower over once everything is settled. The letter below said that the personnel here are being transferred very frequently, and even the troops have changed their defenses."
It's not that the people sent before didn't find anything, but there wasn't much information available.
After hearing what Ye Haoran said, the boss said solemnly: "I'm afraid there is someone with serious intentions. I stretched out my hand so far and I didn't get any news from here. It seems that the business there has been turned into a metal barrel. You should be careful."
Ye Haoran didn't say anything. He had already thought about these issues before coming here, and complaining now was of no use.
It's better not to say anything and save the boss from worrying.
"Xiaoye, I can't help you here. You have to rely on yourself. However, I suggest you start with the grassroots staff. Even if you waste more time, don't take risks."
Ye Haoran heard the love and care in the boss's voice.
They didn't exchange much information on the phone, they just exchanged addresses. He and the boss will still contact each other via secret messages in the future.
Ye Haoran felt a little heavy after putting down the phone.
After walking out of the post office, he didn't go back to the guest house or go to Zhou's house. Instead, he hired a three-wheeler and started driving around Jichun.
We walked through each department, and it was very basic to know where to go. Ye Haoran silently memorized all the routes including the route.
It wasn't until dark that Ye Haoran returned to the guest house to rest.
For several days in a row, Ye Haoran only did this one thing, until on the fourth day, Zhou Rong came over.
After Ye Haoran woke up, he simply washed up, got dressed and was about to go out when Zhou Rong walked in with a small basin.
"Are you going out?"
"Well, it's okay to take it with you at the guest house. If you don't come, I'll go out for a walk."
Zhou Rong smiled and put the small basin on the only table in the guest room, turned around and said with a smile: "Don't go out when I'm here. Come and try the oil cakes my mother baked for you?"
"OK!"
Ye Haoran wiped the water on his hands with a towel and started eating directly. Zhou Rong also peeled two boiled eggs aside.
In the past two days, after Zhou Rong's narration, Li Suhua also had a general understanding of Ye Haoran.
If you have the ability and ability, you can turn things around at critical moments and become the top leader in the factory.
If conditions permit, Li Suhua doesn't ask for anything more than to be kind to her daughter.
As long as the two of them can continue to get along like this, Li Suhua will feel relieved about Zhou Rong for the rest of his life.
"By the way, the pork you bought has not been finished yet. My mother asked you if you have time in the past two days. She will make sauerkraut for you. My mother's sauerkraut is delicious."
"Well, then I want to try it. It's better to choose a different day. Let's go today."
Zhou Rong looked at Ye Haoran happily, put the egg into Ye Haoran's mouth and said with a smile: "That's great, then eat it quickly. After eating, we will go home."
Ye Haoran shook his head, just when Zhou Rong was confused.
Ye Haoran smiled mischievously and said, "There's no rush to go home. We have something to do before we go back."
"What's up?"
Before Zhou Rong could react, Ye Haoran had already thrown her onto the bed.
"Ouch! No, what are you doing in broad daylight!"
"...."
You already know and you still ask!
Exercising after meals is good for your health.
Ye Haoran is a very self-disciplined person who does what he says.
The aunt at the guest house went to the bathroom and was walking through the corridor on her way back to the front desk when she suddenly heard a knock on the wall.
Shaking his head: "You must be sick. When you wake up, you knock on the wall."
The voice may have been a little louder, but the sound of knocking on the wall was indeed much quieter after he finished speaking.
In the room separated by a wall, Zhou Rong couldn't hold on to the wall, and her legs gave out and she fell down.
After lying down, he glared at Ye Haoran accusingly, and Ye Haoran spread his hands with an innocent face.
What happened here is just the beginning.
By the time Ye Haoran and Zhou Rong came out of the guest house, it was already noon, and the two of them walked hand in hand to the Zhou family's house.
It can't be done without holding hands. Without Ye Haoran's support, Zhou Rong's walking was a little unsteady.
After walking slowly and leisurely for a long time, the two returned to Zhou's house.
This time Li Suhua became much more enthusiastic when she saw Ye Hao, and immediately started cooking.
The sauerkraut needs to be simmered for a longer time and then simmered slowly to taste delicious.
Ye Haoran took advantage of this time to help clean up the yard at home and repair the damaged areas of the shed and fence.
There was also a crooked door, which had long been in disrepair and was not tightly closed, so Ye Haoran corrected it.
Li Suhua stood in front of the stove and looked at Ye Haoran who was busy working through the open door. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.
I can do things outside, make money and manage people, and I can work and talk at home. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?
Ye Haoran closed the door a few times, nodded with satisfaction, and threw the hammer back into the shed.
After entering the house, she took the towel handed by Zhou Rong and wiped her sweat, and said to Li Suhua: "Mom, if you simply clean up the gate, it can last for a few years. When I'm done, I'll find someone to re-enclose the fence in the yard and build a new fence." Click the door."
"Hehehe, okay, okay, as long as you have the intention, don't spend money indiscriminately, there will be plenty of places to ask for money when you two have children."
Li Suhua smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. When the word "child" was mentioned, Zhou Rong blushed instantly.
She shouted sheepishly: "Mom! Cook quickly, I'm hungry."
Ye Haoran blinked, smiled, washed his hands and went back to the house to make tea.
Before dinner, Zhou Bingkun rushed back.
When he entered the house and saw Ye Haoran there, he immediately came over and said, "Brother-in-law, I found the house you want. It's a bit dilapidated. It would be good to repair it. It's in the alley."
"Oh? Moving so fast?"
Zhou Bingkun sat by the kang, picked up the tea that Ye Haoran had just made, and poured himself a cup. He must have been thirsty, so he drank it in one gulp.
Then he said: "Well, my buddy helped me find it. I will take you to have a look after dinner later."
"Okay, let's talk about it after we finish eating."
After chatting for a few words, Zhou Bingkun went to clean up himself.
Work in the lumber factory is like this. Sawdust is flying everywhere, and you have to collect it every day when you come back.
When eating, both Ye Haoran and Zhou Rong ate more than before.
Ye Haoran eats more because the pickled cabbage stew is really delicious and authentic.
Zhou Rong is simply hungry.
I spent a lot of energy in the guest house. I haven't eaten lunch yet, so I will definitely be hungry after staying up until evening.
After dinner, Zhou Rong stayed at home to wash dishes, while Ye Haoran followed Zhou Bingkun to see the house.
Turning left and right all the way to a small alley, Ye Haoran suddenly felt that this place was familiar, as if he had been here before.
It wasn't until the two came to a yard that Ye Haoran turned his head and glanced aside, then he remembered why he felt familiar.
Because he has really been here.
When he arrested Lao Sun from the accounting office, the address Lou Zhenhua gave him was here, and next to it was the place where Lao Sun's wife used to live.
Suddenly, a beautiful figure appeared in his mind, bringing back many memories hidden in Ye Haoran's heart.
"Brother-in-law, it's over here. What do you think? The three rooms are not small, and there is a pretty big yard. It's a bit spacious for you to live alone."
Zhou Bingkun's voice interrupted Ye Haoran's memories.
After his attention was drawn back, he followed Zhou Bingkun into the yard.
It looked like no one had lived there for a long time. The door was unlocked and there was nothing valuable in the house, not even a cabinet or box.
After walking around, Ye Haoran nodded with satisfaction: "It's very good. It's quite spacious. If you find someone to repair it, you can live there."
"Brother-in-law, do you plan to rent or buy?"
"I don't know how long you will live here. Just buy it. Your sister and I will have a place to live when we come back."
Even if you buy it, it won't cost a lot of money. If you find someone to clean it up, you can live comfortably. If you rent it, there is no need to clean it up.
Zhou Bingkun nodded after hearing this: "Okay, I will ask the landlord to come to the house tomorrow. You can discuss how much it will cost."
After reading, the two were about to go home. Before leaving, Ye Haoran took a look at the house next to them.
The doors and windows were closed, and only a vague figure could be seen through the light in the room.
