evening.
Qin Huairu was cooking and Lin Shaowen was warming himself by the fire in the yard, even though it was already February. But in fact, the ice and snow have no intention of melting at all. Although there is no heavy snowfall, some snowflakes will fall from time to time in the sky.
Although many leaders are organizing manpower to clear the ice on the river, the situation is still worrying.
"Let's eat."
After Qin Huairu placed the food on the table, she went to the study and took out a bottle of Maotai and poured two taels for him.
"Why are you thinking about drinking today?" Lin Shaowen asked in surprise.
"Aren't you tired after a long day of work?" Qin Huairu said with a smile.
Although she was not in the human resources department, she also heard that Lin Shaowen took Director Zhao of the textile factory around to sell tampons. Moreover, Li Chunhua and others also began to go to workshops, kitchens and other places to give them trial clothing so that they could experience it.
Many people in the steel rolling mill laughed at Lin Shaowen behind his back. A very nice old man would actually do such a thing.
"You want to drink too?" Lin Shaowen shook the bottle.
"OK."
Qin Huairu agreed wholeheartedly.
She actually doesn't like drinking, but Lin Shaowen feels so lonely drinking alone.
then.
The two of them grilled themselves over a brazier and ate under the light, which was not too bright.
From time to time I clinked the cup, but it seemed very quiet.
"Shaowen, where did Xiaomo go?" Qin Huairu asked suddenly.
"I don't know." Lin Shaowen shrugged.
"Have you chosen a name for your child?" Qin Huairu said with some worry, "What if Lou Bancheng forces Xiaomo to give the child his last name?"
"It's okay to have his last name." Lin Shaowen said nonchalantly.
"Nonsense." Qin Huairu said with a rare straight face, "You are the only one in the old Lin family. If the child has Lou Bancheng's surname, the Lin family will have no heirs..."
Lin Shaowen looked at Qin Huairu, a smile appeared on his lips, and he joked, "What's the point? Otherwise, let's get married and have another child."
"No." Qin Huairu refused immediately.
She wanted to marry Lin Shaowen so much that she even dreamed of it.
But reality does not allow it. Lin Shaowen is in a high position and countless pairs of eyes are staring at him. When they first married Lou Xiao'e, Qin Zhong, Zhang Yuyang, Yang Weiguo, and even Director Wang... they all complained about this matter.
But Lin Shaowen insisted on it, and Lou Xiao'e was a young girl, so they just pinched their noses and admitted it. If Lin Shaowen really wants to marry Qin Huairu, I don't know how big the trouble will be. Just talking behind the back will drown the two of them.
"I don't care." Lin Shaowen chuckled, "I dare to marry Lou Xiao'e, and naturally I dare to marry you..."
When Qin Huairu heard this, her eyes immediately turned red, but she still refused, "No, based on your conditions, if you marry a divorced woman, you will be criticized."
Lin Shaowen wanted to say something else, but someone knocked on the door.
Qin Huairu immediately frowned, who is this? How rude.
"Who?"
"Lin Shaowen, have a meeting."
Silly Zhu's broken gong voice sounded outside the door.
"No time, you drive."
Lin Shaowen refused immediately.
It's late at night, so I have nothing to do.
Silly Zhu's voice disappeared immediately, but within a few minutes.
There was a knock on the door.
"Lin Shaowen, do you want us to invite you?"
Yi Zhonghai's resentful voice sounded.
Lin Shaowen looked at Qin Huairu who had walked to the small door and couldn't help but sigh.
Opening the door, before Yi Zhonghai and others could speak, an angry Lin Shaowen said, "Is there something wrong with you? Why are you having a meeting so late at night? And you have a meeting when you have a meeting. Why do you always call me?"
"Lin Shaowen, what's your attitude?" Liu Haizhong said angrily.
"Liu Haizhong, please don't show off in front of me." Lin Shaowen said coldly, "You don't do your business every day and just engage in these evil ways. Believe it or not, I will go to the street office to sue you."
"you……"
Bangzhong was shocked and angry.
"Brother, calm down." Yan Bugui immediately came up to smooth things over, "Didn't you tell those old ladies this afternoon that the textile factory was recruiting people? We just wanted to find out what was going on..."
"Old Yan is speaking like a human being." Lin Shaowen closed the door, "Okay, you all are here, so I will tell you what happened, so as not to say that I don't take care of the people in our courtyard."
"No way."
Yan Bugui said with a smile on his face.
Courtyard.
Almost everyone is here.
The three uncles were sitting in the center. Liu Haizhong was just about to show the uncle's score when he heard Yi Zhonghai cough twice and signal him to stop talking.
Yan Bugui invited Lin Shaowen to the middle with a charming smile, which was considered a face-saving gesture.
"It's cold, I'll keep my story short." Lin Shaowen lit up a cigarette and said leisurely, "Now Dongcheng Textile Factory needs to recruit a group of salespeople to sell some products around Sijiu City. Temporary workers will be paid. If the performance is good, they can become regular workers. , if you are interested, you can tell me..."
"Selling products?" Xu Damao turned his head and suddenly raised his voice, "Lin Shaowen, are you selling tampons... the ones used by old ladies?"
"Yes." Lin Shaowen nodded calmly.
Liu Guangfu, who was still extremely excited, suddenly lost half of his face. Although he was not a worker in the steel rolling mill, he knew this stuff. A group of ladies from the street office came to the yard to promote the product in the evening and gave some trial products.
Temporary workers in textile factories are good, but this thing is for old ladies, who wants to promote it?
Not only the streetwalkers in the yard hesitated, but also the second aunt, third aunt and others. In their limited thinking, if a big man goes to talk to an old woman about this thing, it is still a temporary worker treatment, and it is not humiliating enough.
"What did I think it was?" Liu Haizhong sneered, "Lin Shaowen, you asked a bunch of gentlemen to sell tampons, did you sneak away?"
"If you don't want to, just don't want to, I don't care." Lin Shaowen shrugged.
"Brother, it's really a bit embarrassing to promote this stuff." Yan Bugui also advised, "If you really have the connections, you can let these young people in the courtyard join the factory."
Before Lin Shaowen could speak, he heard someone below raise his hand.
"Brother Lin, I do."
The speaker was Aunt Li's son Li Zhuang.
Aunt Li's family's conditions were not very good. Lao Li passed away early, leaving only the child Li Zhuang. He is slender, only 1.65 meters tall, but as thin as a bamboo pole. He is usually taciturn and not very gregarious. He is considered a marginal person among the young people in the courtyard.
The Li family's mother and son usually live by taking on some street jobs, such as pasting matchboxes, etc. Their lives are quite poor.
However, Aunt Li is very courageous even though she is poor.
He never showed timidity in front of others. Of course, Yi Zhonghai and others didn't bother to pay attention to this orphan and widower.
The mother and son lived in a small house of less than twenty square meters, in the corner of the central courtyard.
"Okay, I'll count you in." Lin Shaowen laughed, looked around and said, "Who else can sign up? There will be no waiting after the deadline."
Upon seeing this, Liu Guangfu and others remained silent.
"I...Brother Lin, I want to go."
Yu Li raised her hand, and everyone in the room was shocked.
