Siheyuan, my new life

Zhou Xiu couldn't help but laugh. She nodded and said, "Director Wang, you know, I only know a few directors of the security department of the steel mill. Lin Yu is on a business trip and hasn't come back yet. Otherwise, I can just hand it over to him. Forget it, I'll call the security department of the steel mill and ask first."

Director Wang was really at a loss today. She didn't know the leaders of several factories in her jurisdiction, and the logistics staff of the street office didn't get much, so she thought of Secretary Zhou.

Zhou Xiu picked up the phone and connected to the office of the director of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill through the switchboard.

A deep male voice came from the microphone: "Hello, I'm Qin Ming."

Zhou Xiu smiled and said, "Hello, Director Qin, I am Zhou Xiu from Jiaodaokou Subdistrict Office."

Qin Ming quickly smiled and greeted: "Hello, Secretary Zhou, what can I do for you?"

Zhou Xiu told about the street office's preparations for the Spring Festival condolences to the families of military martyrs, veterans, lonely elderly people and families in difficult circumstances.

Qin Ming certainly would not refuse: "Secretary Zhou, our security department doesn't have much else, but wild boar meat is no problem. Please let me know the quantity you need in advance so that I can arrange it early."

Zhou Xiu said a few polite words and put down the phone. She glanced at Director Wang who was sitting opposite her and drinking tea with a smile on his face. "Okay, the Security Department only has wild boar meat. If you need any specific amount, go directly to Director Qin Ming."

Director Wang laughed and said, "In theory, we need to give each of the 172 households in our jurisdiction two pounds of wild boar meat, so together with our office, we need a total of more than 700 pounds. However, the logistics of our subdistrict office are really lame. Apart from the small share from the meat processing plant, the lunch in the cafeteria is basically just stewed potatoes with water or stir-fried cabbage, with no oil or water at all."

Zhou Xiu usually eats lunch in the office cafeteria, but her family has no shortage of meat and vegetables, so she didn't notice anything about having a light lunch. But after hearing what Director Wang said today, she realized that she cared too little about the cadres and employees of the unit.

So Zhou Xiu smiled and said, "Director Wang, please increase the amount of wild boar meat we need for this Spring Festival by a bit, just report it at 1,600 to 2,000 kilograms, and let Director Qin make the arrangements as appropriate. When Lin Yu comes back from his business trip, I will tell him about the actual difficulties of our Jiaodaokou Subdistrict Office and ask him to help solve them."

Director Wang said cheerfully: "With the Secretary in charge, there will be absolutely no problem. By the way, Secretary Zhou, when will Director Lin be able to come back? The Chinese New Year is less than twenty days away."

Zhou Xiu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then smiled and shook his head: "He didn't tell me the details, so let him be. A grown-up son is no longer under the control of his mother."

Director Wang rolled his eyes at him and said, "Secretary Zhou, you should not be so ungrateful. Whose son can achieve as much as Director Lin? By the way, Director Lin will be 28 this year. You must urge him to get married soon. His children of similar age are about to start elementary school."

Zhou Xiu also sighed helplessly: "Why didn't I urge him? I urged him eight hundred times every time we met, but he always felt that there was blood clot in his brain, and was worried that if there was a problem, it would delay the marriage of the female comrade. Alas, there is nothing I can do, he is as stubborn as a bull. This time I agreed to transfer to Beijing to work, in fact, the main purpose is to urge him to get married quickly. Others have become grandmothers, and I can only enjoy the sight of holding my grandson, but now it's good, the grandmother has retired directly and is dedicated to taking care of her precious grandson at home."

Director Wang also sighed secretly. It is said that every family has its own problems. Others only see that Lin Yu is now in a high position and has great power, but who would have thought that there is still blood clot in his brain that has not been eliminated?

The two chatted for a while, and Zhou Xiu suddenly remembered something: "Director Wang, this is also my first time to spend winter in Beijing. Did it snow so heavily here in previous years?"

Director Wang nodded gently: "It's about the same every year, right?"

Zhou Xiu said a little worriedly: "Director Wang, I noticed that in the area under the jurisdiction of our Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office, many houses are in disrepair. I'm afraid some of them have already had some problems. I'm worried that if it snows again, will there be problems?"

Director Wang nodded and said, "I don't know the specific situation in Jiaodaokou Street, but in Daqianmen where I used to work, there was an incident where a house collapsed due to snow."

Zhou Xiu glanced at her watch and said, "Director Wang, I think we should hold a meeting and let the young officials and the neighborhood committees below take some time to pass on the message to every courtyard and compound. In addition to checking the conditions of each house, we should also take a closer look to understand the actual conditions of each needy family in the area. Our street office will try to think of a solution."

Director Wang was also a man of swift action. He immediately nodded and agreed: "I will notify the leaders of each department to come to the small conference room for a meeting."

After the office meeting of Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office ended, Zhou Xiu and Director Wang personally led the staff of the Sub-district Office to start visiting, notifying, and personally inspecting the courtyards below.

This actual inspection revealed quite a few houses with problems, and even several dangerous buildings.

At this time, the vast majority of residents in the jurisdiction have family members working in nearby factories, and most of the houses they live in are public housing owned by the units. The residents can solve minor problems by themselves, such as changing tiles, repairing doors and windows, etc. However, if there are major problems with the house, they still have to contact the infrastructure department of the unit.

However, all the factories are busy expanding now, and the Infrastructure Department is too busy to handle it for the time being, so it has to be postponed.

Zhou Xiu has worked in the Jinmen Street Office for many years. Of course, he knows that this situation must not be delayed any further. Otherwise, if houses collapse under the weight of snow, it may endanger the lives of residents.

So Zhou Xiu immediately called the leaders of each factory in person, explained the situation, and said that since the factory's infrastructure department was too busy, the street office would organize people to carry out the construction. The factories were very grateful for this. After all, with the help of the street office, not only could the problem of dilapidated houses be solved, but the pressure on the factory's infrastructure department was also reduced. Of course, the cost of building the dilapidated houses would definitely be borne by the factory. These were public matters, and no one would fool anyone.

In the following few days, the cadres and staff of Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office were busy every day. After six or seven days, they finally reinforced and repaired all the dilapidated buildings in the jurisdiction.
