The sun sets over the west mountain and the sun sets over the west mountain!
After a busy day, Zhou Yang stood up from his chair and stretched.
Then he simply packed up the documents on his desk, called Chen Beixuan, and left the institute together.
Compared to before, I got off work much earlier today.
Mainly because the family would invite Wen Hui's two sisters to dinner in the evening, and he couldn't go back too late, as that would look very rude.
"Chief, are we going home now or somewhere else? Do you want to drive?"
Zhou Yang shook his head and said: "No need to drive, first go to the printing factory to pick up Lao Zhang, and then go home!"
"yes!"
The printing factory is next to a small river bend in the southwest of the village. To get there from the institute, you have to pass through more than half of the village and pass through a large field of corn.
Walking on the country road, you can see the sky and the earth being decorated by the sunset. The villages, fields, and roads are all painted with a faint blush, and even the big elm trees are decorated with light golden light.
Zhou Yang, who was originally a little tired, suddenly felt in a good mood, and the fatigue on his body seemed to be relieved a lot.
When we arrived at the printing factory, we had just finished get off work and the staff and cadres were walking out of the factory one after another. You could hear everyone talking and laughing in the distance.
After seeing Zhou Yang, everyone greeted him very enthusiastically.
Most of the employees in the printing factory are family members of the staff of the research institute. Everyone knows Zhou Yang more or less and knows that his director is different from other leaders.
And Zhou Yang also responded one by one without any hesitation!
Lao Zhang comes out late every day because of his weak legs and feet, and today is no exception.
When he came out of the factory, most of the people had already left, and then the three of them slowly walked towards the village.
The countryside in the evening is filled with beauty and tranquility.
Green mountains and green waters, farmhouses in the wilderness, small bridges and flowing water, all in sight, slowly unfolding before Zhou Yang's eyes like a charming picture.
Walking on the slightly bumpy loess path, feeling the light cool breeze, a sense of comfort and comfort comes to my heart.
After walking a few steps, Lao Zhang suddenly said: "Director Ding held a meeting for us today. He said that the institute issued an order to change the current two shifts to three shifts, continue to increase production capacity, and also let Our editorial department will come up with more new categories as soon as possible."
"I see that there have been significantly fewer trucks coming to our place to pull books during this period, and there is already a lot of inventory accumulated in the warehouse. Is this necessary?"
Zhou Yang smiled and said: "It is indeed the decision of the institute to continue to increase production. The main reason is that I received a call from the comrades at CCTV today, saying that the advertisement for our teaching aid materials has passed the review and will be broadcast on the TV station in the evening. Got it!"
"As expected, after the commercial airs, there will definitely be a wave of buying teaching aids. It's always a good idea to stock up on more supplies now."
Lao Zhang nodded and said: "So that's the case, then there's no problem!"
Zhou Yang said again: "And the results of the college entrance examination will be out soon. A large number of students will definitely fail by then. A large number of them will definitely have to repeat, and the demand for teaching aid materials will surge again!"
"Speaking of this, I don't know how the candidates in the village did. Can they create the miracle of last year?" Lao Zhang said.
"Unlikely!"
Then Zhou Yang continued: "The miracle of last year's success when all members were on the list was the result of our hard preparation for several years. In addition, last year's exam questions were relatively simple. The right time, place and people are all indispensable."
"But this year is different. Although these candidates in the village have a slight advantage over other candidates in the province, the gap is not big. I think if they can get one-third or half of the examination, it is already very good. Not bad.”
"makes sense..."
Several people talked while walking, and soon returned to Zhou's house!
After pushing open the big iron door and walking into the courtyard, Zhou Yang smelled the rich aroma of rice from a distance.
In addition, the smell of fried things still lingering in the air, obviously today's dinner is not simple.
In the yard, a large group of dolls were gathered together, not knowing what they were doing.
After seeing Zhou Yang come back, Huzi, Chunnier, Ernier, Chunxiang and others in the crowd greeted him one after another.
Bao'er happily ran to him and pulled him into the crowd, saying that she had something interesting to show him.
When Zhou Yang got closer, he saw that these child soldiers were surrounding a large iron barrel.
The bucket was half filled with water, and you could vaguely see something moving inside.
After taking a closer look, I found that it was filled with "remakes", the kind of little frogs that haven't grown legs yet.
"Did you go into the river again?" Zhou Yang asked with a frown.
Like all parents, Zhou Yang doesn't like children playing in the river because it's too dangerous.
Although the deepest part of the river in the village is less than half a meter deep, it is impossible to drown someone under normal circumstances, even a five- or six-year-old baby.
However, in the past two years, the village has excavated soil and sand downstream of Xiaohewan for construction projects, resulting in many large pits.
These pits are not only large in area, but also very deep. They are everywhere four to five meters deep.
There is still some danger if children play there.
Huzi, the oldest, said hurriedly: "Uncle, we just caught some "remakes" at the bone meal factory and didn't play in deep water!"
"Well, you are the eldest brother, but you can't take your younger brothers and sisters to the big puddle, let alone the reservoir!" Zhou Yang said in a serious tone.
Zhou Yang had always remembered what happened to his eldest nephew in his previous life. Although he was distressed, he would warn Huzi several times almost every year and resolutely not let him play by the water.
"Uncle, don't worry, we won't go!"
"Okay, then let's have some fun!"
After saying that, Zhou Yang and Lao Zhang came to the main room.
In the main room, Li Youwei and her mother-in-law were cooking, while Li Haiyan and two strange young girls were helping nearby. They must be Wen Hui's two sisters.
After seeing Zhou Yang and Lao Zhang come in, Li Youwei said while cooking: "We're back, the meal will be ready soon!"
"OK!"
Then, Zhou Yang looked at the two strange girls and said, "These two should be Wen Hui's sisters. I am Zhou Yang. I am very happy to meet you two!"
The older girl who was helping wash the vegetables said hurriedly: "Hello, Comrade Zhou Yang, I am Wen Hui's sixth sister Ye Wenhua, and this is my seventh sister Ye Wenqi. Thank you and Sister Weiwei very much for your kindness to Wen Hui." take care of!"
While speaking, the Ye sisters looked at Zhou Yang with grateful eyes.
Through chatting with Wen Hui in the past few days, they knew that the Zhou family really regarded Wen Hui as family. Not only did they have the same food and clothing as Bao'er, but they also used connections to transfer their younger brother to a school in the capital. .
This makes them very grateful!
In this era where even three melons and two dates may cause a conflict, it is rare to be able to help occasionally. It is rare for the Zhou family to raise other people's children as their own.
"You're welcome. Your father, Comrade Ye Zhenshan, and my father-in-law are good brothers who have lived together through life and death, and Comrade Yan Gengdong and I have a very good personal relationship. It's appropriate to help take care of Wen Hui!" Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"Wen Hui has told us that it is really thanks to your care in the past two years. I don't know how to express our family's gratitude to you and Sister Xiaowei. I can only say this to you and Sister Xiaowei." Thank you!" Ye Wenhua said.
"Comrade Wenhua, you really don't need it. Wenhui is a very obedient child, and with him helping to take care of our baby, I feel relieved..."
Just as he was talking, Li Youwei said with a smile: "Sister Wenhua, you are too polite. You have said thank you dozens of times since you entered the door. You really don't need it!"
Without waiting for the Ye sisters to answer, Li Youwei changed her voice and said to Zhou Yang: "Dinner is about to be served, please quickly tell the children to wash their hands!"
"good!"
"Take the soap and let them wash it carefully. Their hands are very dirty after they have grabbed the "repeater"!" Li Youwei warned.
"OK..."
Then, Zhou Yang went into the house to get a washbasin and soap, and then asked the child soldiers in the yard to wash their hands and prepare for dinner...
