Chapter 181: Being Pointed

I wish the factory director’s home is on South Street. When he gets off work at noon, he will go around to West Street to find the Zodiac Boat.

He heard Huang Daozhou say that he knew the place, and when he came to the door, he was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Seeing the antique buildings with his own eyes and seeing such a big house certainly gave him a great shock.

He had worked with Huang Daozhou for more than ten years, and he knew that Huang Daozhou was extremely poor, but he had never seen him willing to eat a "Big Furnace Shaobing".

The employees of the briquette factory invited each other to have breakfast at the noodle shop at the bridge entrance to the west of the factory, but Huang Daozhou stayed far away.

When colleagues have breakfast, basically you buy noodles for me today, and I'll treat you to "Dalu Shaobing" another day.

Huang Daozhou did not have the financial means to invite his colleagues back, so he never participated. Occasionally, a colleague would send a "Big Furnace Shaobing", and Huang Daozhou would always save some for the children.

Huang Daozhou, who used to be poor but not slovenly, had no status but was not sleazy, has indeed become prosperous. At this moment, Director Zhu was secretly glad that he treated Huang Daozhou well.

Director Zhu, who finally recovered from his chaotic thoughts, murmured: "No wonder, no wonder, Lao Huang's family is really in trouble now!"

At this time, Chengwen Pavilion just happened to send Huang Han back. Huang Han's sharp eyes immediately saw Director Zhu looking around at the door.

"I wish you well, uncle! The sun is scorching outside. Please sit down inside! Dad, Dad, I wish the factory director is here."

"Huang Han! Haha, I have grown taller and stronger. I heard Sun Qiang say that not only did you write an article and publish it, but you also wrote a song?"

Huang Daozhou had already ran out. When he heard this, he laughed and said: "He is a child, how can he write songs? I wish you the director, you are not allowed to leave today. I will have a drink with you. You haven't tasted my special dishes yet."

Where’s the pickled fish!”

Director Zhu complained: "Old Huang! You only care about building a house and don't care about Huang Han!"

"No way? My son is the most important thing. I beat him all the time!"

"Then why didn't you know that Huang Han wrote a song? The teachers at the experimental primary school said that this song might be played by the radio station!"

"Ah?" Huang Daozhou turned to look at Huang Han and asked, "Is it true?"

"Dad, these are all trivial matters not worth mentioning. You are now busy opening our family's 'Shi Jing Cheng Restaurant'."

Director Zhu Zhu was shocked and said: "It's a small matter? Oh my god, boy, what do you think? This is a bigger matter than opening a store!"

Huang Daozhou was stunned at this moment as if his acupuncture points had been tapped.

Chengwen Pavilion was about to go back when he sang: "Flowers bloom and wither, the cold goes away and the heat comes, the cicadas chirp outside the classroom, covering up the sobs.

The teacher walked slowly, and the primary school students looked at each other with tears in their eyes. This is how we say goodbye today, and it will be unforgettable.

May you have warm winters, may you not be cold in spring, may you have lights when it gets dark, and may you have an umbrella when it rains..."

Director Zhu said: "Yes, yes, that's the song."

Cheng Wenge rode away and said loudly: "Uncle Huang, Huang Han's song will be heard on the radio soon."

Huang Daozhou recovered from the shock and asked: "How can you write songs? I, I..."

"I didn't write it alone. It was created under the guidance of Teacher Qiu and Shen Xiaorong, the daughter of Secretary Shen of the County Party Committee!"

Huang Han deliberately leaked Shen Xiaorong's identity in front of Director Zhu.

The effect was good, and Director Zhu had a look of enlightenment on his face.

After hearing Huang Han's explanation, Huang Daozhou finally believed it and said, "You brat, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier!"

"Hey! There's nothing to say. I just thought it would be a surprise for you to hear this song or my name on the radio one day!"

"Don't! You must not do this. I will be shocked. Are you responsible for making me sick?"

"Haha, I know daddy is very big-hearted, this little excitement is nothing!"

Listening to the conversation between Huang Daozhou and his son, Director Zhu, who also has a son and a daughter, was filled with envy. He sighed and said, "Oh! Old Huang! Your Huang Han can make people jealous to death!"

Huang Han said politely: "Uncle Zhu, please don't leave. Stay and have a drink with my father. I will arrange for the pickled fish and vegetables to be served."

"No, I can't drink today."

Huang Daozhou asked strangely: "Why?"

"I'm here specifically to tell you not to go to the factory this afternoon. Director Qin, Manager Liu and I will come here at three o'clock to take a look. Maybe other leaders will be there. What does it look like when I smell so drunk?

What does it look like?”

"The leaders are here? Why are they here? Are you mistaken?"

"Pretend! Are you still pretending?"

"What am I pretending to be?"

"The top leader of the county party committee is going to cut the ribbon for your restaurant, but you didn't even tell me about such a big thing! It's pointless to pretend you don't know anything!"

Huang Daozhou was shocked and confused: "The top leader of the county committee is coming to cut the ribbon? Is it true? Who did you listen to? Could it be a mistake?"

"Impossible! Director Qin called me to inform me! He wants me to help your family solve some practical difficulties!"

Huang Daozhou was happy and said: "Such a great thing is happening!"

Director Zhu Zhu said: "Yeah! You are lucky. By the way, Old Huang, tell me, what other difficulties are there?"

"Difficulty? I really didn't expect any difficulties at the moment!"

Alas! Huang Han sighed in his heart, Huang Daozhou was still too down-to-earth and didn't know how to climb up the pole, so he had to say:

"Dad, if the big leaders of the county come to cut the ribbon, the store will have to prepare and buy some things. The money at home may not be enough.

Can you go to the factory and borrow a few hundred yuan, and then ask the factory to deduct twenty yuan a month from wages, and pay it back slowly?"

Uh! Huang Daozhou looked at Huang Han with a ghostly look.

Director Zhu Zhu nodded and said: "Huang Han is really smart. He is absolutely right. Lao Huang, let me see it this way. You can take the time to send it to the factory tomorrow to make an IOU for three hundred yuan, indicating that you will pay twenty yuan a month."

, I signed and approved it on the spot.”

Obviously, we already borrowed 500 yuan from Cheng Wenge's family yesterday, so we have enough money to settle the accounts. Now we are borrowing another 300 yuan. Is this necessary?

Huang Daozhou looked at Huang Han involuntarily.

Huang Han deceived and said: "Dad, what if the leaders of the county party committee stay to eat? Should we ask them to pay for the food?"

I wish the factory director, Director Qin, Manager Liu, etc. are both leaders and good friends, so they should always prepare a dozen Yanghe songs, right? Doesn’t it cost money?"

Huang Daozhou suddenly came to his senses and said, "That's right! When someone from the county committee comes, my family can't lose its status. We have to look bad to the county committee leader! We need to install more fluorescent lamps, which really requires more money."

"Old Huang, you'd better settle other accounts. Don't worry about people from the county committee having dinner at your house. This is impossible!"

"I know, but if you want to say something polite, you have to make preparations, and you have to show that you are sincere in letting people eat!"

"Hey! Old Huang! I will be impressed by this for three days! This plan is really amazing!"

"This is not a calculation. I am sincerely grateful. I especially want to keep the leaders to try my specialties."

"Okay, it's getting late. My wife and kids are still waiting for dinner. I'm going home."

"Don't go! We can eat food without drinking wine!"

"That's so boring! Another day, I'll come to your house for a good drink some other day. Just go back and don't give it away!"
