Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

The supply and marketing cooperatives in Luoguxiang are in a complicated situation, and the head office is planning reforms. It's a good choice for you to go out and study." Old Xu nodded. "Thank you, Old Xu!" Ye Chuan was in a happy mood. "Boy, if you mess up the grassroots cooperatives after you come back, I will make you pay." Old Xu reminded.

Ye Chuan responded: "Please rest assured, Mr. Xu, I will do my best to get it done!"

Originally, the purpose of this visit was to wish a happy new year and to secure a place on the study tour. However, unexpectedly, without much persuasion, Mr. Xu agreed.

When Ye Chuan was about to get up and say goodbye, Chen Xiangdong also arrived.

After everyone exchanged greetings, Chen Xiangdong sat down opposite the sofa. "Brother Ye is quite popular, he can even sit on the sofa." Chen Xiangdong said jokingly.

Ye Chuan said somewhat shyly: "Thanks to Mr. Xu for his kindness."

Old Xu tapped his knee with his finger and then ordered, "Xiangdong, you will lead the team to conduct that investigation in April. Keep a close eye on him and don't let this guy cause any trouble." It sounded like a serious instruction.

Chen Xiangdong was slightly startled, but then nodded: "I understand, Mr. Xu." He himself did not expect that this unintentional prophecy would come true.

And Ye Chuan's inspection trip will stir up the situation wherever he goes, and things that will shock the whole world are about to become a reality.

Then, Director Qiu of Jingcheng Furniture Factory, Manager Lu of Guanghua Glass Products Factory, and Director Lu of Bowen Printing Factory all came to visit Mr. Xu at his home.

After greeting everyone one by one, Ye Chuan said goodbye and left.

Outside the door, Secretary Chen was blocked by many people queuing up but unable to enter.

Seeing Ye Chuan staying in Xu's house for more than an hour, there was obviously a bit more awe in the looks on those people's faces.

A seemingly important person can only stay in Xu's house for more than ten minutes. Only close people like Director Chen, who is at the level of the factory director, can stay in Xu's house for a long time. "Brother Chen, it's so cold outside. Do you want to come in and sit for a while and have some tea? I'll stand for a while to cover you." Ye Chuan suggested politely.

Secretary Chen secretly complained in his heart: "How can you be so lucky!" But he remained polite: "It's okay, I'm wearing thick clothes.

Brother Ye is leaving?"

Ye Chuan nodded, "I'm sorry for keeping Mr. Xu for too long."

People around were guessing his identity. Secretary Chen, who had a serious face before, now smiled and personally escorted Ye Chuan to the entrance of the alley.

After exchanging a few words with Secretary Chen, Ye Chuan got on his bicycle and headed towards Tong's house.

The marriage formalities between the two have been completed, and Tong Yao has officially become the daughter-in-law of the Ye family.

According to traditional customs, New Year's Eve and the first day of the New Year should be spent at the man's home.

Liu Yue and Ye Yongshun kindly let Tong Yao spend the last New Year's Eve with her parents at her parents' home.

When Ye Chuan parked his bicycle in front of the Tong family compound, he watched the neighbors wishing each other a happy new year one by one, and his forehead was already sweating until he arrived at the Tong family's door.

Seeing this, Tong Yao's parents did not try to persuade her to stay, but instead urged their daughter to go back. "Yao Yao, go back with Xiao Chuan quickly, your mother-in-law may be waiting anxiously." Tong's mother said to Ye Chuan's parents with gratitude.

Tong Yao understood that Ye Chuan had gone out to pay New Year's greetings in the morning and hurried home to wait for her. She was already prepared. When she heard him come in, she went out with him, carrying the gifts that had been packed.

Looking at him who looked a little tired, she said softly and concernedly: "Chuanchuan, didn't you sleep well last night?"

In fact, Ye Chuan was fine. His unusual physique made him not feel particularly tired, but just a little sleepy.

He half-jokingly responded, "My mom didn't let me go to bed until last night, and she woke me up before seven o'clock."

Tong Yao smiled slightly and said nothing more. She hugged Ye Chuan's hand tightly and rested her cheek on the warmth of his back.

The two quickly returned to the courtyard.

Tong Yao immediately extended New Year greetings to her neighbors when she saw them.

When Liu Yue saw them, his face was filled with joy and he was busy preparing to reheat the leftover dishes from yesterday.

People in the north have the custom of keeping the food that was not finished on New Year’s Eve on the first day of the first lunar month. The Ye family cooked twelve dishes that day, but everyone only had a bite of each one. Even if they were cooked again now, they would still taste so good.

There were only two empty plates left, so she fried some more vegetables to make up the number.

It was lunch time. Ye Yongshun opened a bottle of beer, but Ye Chuan took out three bottles of soda, one each for his mother, Tong Yao and himself.

Ye Chuan said while eating: "Mom and Dad, there may be other people visiting this afternoon to wish us a happy new year."

Liu Yue and Ye Yongshun nodded to show that they understood. This was a common custom on the first day of the new year, and they did not take it to heart.

But they never expected that they would encounter an unexpected crowd of people paying New Year's greetings in the afternoon, which shocked their expectations and even shook their common sense.

The table hasn't been cleared yet, but people are already knocking on the door to wish us a happy new year.

Ma Jianshe walked in at exactly one o'clock, as if he had calculated the time precisely. "Uncle Ye, Aunt Ye, Big Brother and Sister-in-law, Happy New Year!" he said enthusiastically. "Jianshe! Come and sit down!" Liu Yue warmly entertained him and quickly cleaned up the table, while Tong Yao helped to tidy up the place.

Although Ma Jianshe was envious when he saw the dishes on the table, he knew that he was full enough and he had indeed enjoyed a lot of delicious food during this period.

Previously, Ye Chuan gave Xia Zhongyuan 200 yuan and asked him to purchase supplies to distribute to everyone.

Xia Zhongyuan added 100 yuan on his own and bought a lot of things for more than people, and the chubby Han also benefited.

This made Ma Xieyanzi, who was originally dissatisfied with his eldest son's casual style, unexpectedly receive 50 yuan and a lot of things to take home.

Even the steel mill's master chefs like Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong could only afford one pound of meat to improve their holiday meals.

The pig's hind that Ye Chuan's son brought weighed a full five kilograms, and the whole family was overjoyed.

Liu Yue quickly cleaned up the table, prepared peanuts and melon seeds, brewed a pot of good tea, and put out a few cups for the visitors to use.

Ye Chuan took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Ma Jianshe. The other party lit the cigarette skillfully with a match, and then he also lit it and took a puff.

Ye Chuan found it interesting. When he first took Ma Jianshe there, the boy could almost suffocate himself with a puff of cigarette, but now his hand speed has become much more skillful. "Not bad!" Ye Chuan teased.

Ma Jianshe said indignantly: "Brother Jun and Brother Zhongyuan gave me cigarettes all day long, and I learned it accidentally. Later, they stopped telling me!" There was a hint of childishness in his words.

Hearing this, Ye Chuan laughed so hard that his stomach hurt. Ye Yongshun couldn't help laughing as well. This Ma Jianshe had the same personality as his father Ma Xieyan, a little silly.

Before they could finish their words, they were attracted by a noise outside the door. A group of people walked in, and the sound of congratulating each other continued to be heard.

Xia Zhongyuan, the leader, came in, followed by Qi Mazi, Fatty Han, Liu Jun and Liu Song.

Liu Yue was startled at first, but felt relieved when he saw Fatty Han inside.

The five people greeted Ye Yongshun and Tong Yao respectively, and then wished Ye Chuan a happy new year.

They had said before that they would come in the morning on New Year's Day, but when they learned that they had something to do, they decided to come in the afternoon. Now that they were so determined to come, Ye Chuan did not express any opinions.

After Ye Yongshun exchanged greetings with everyone, he entered Ye Chuan's room. "Brother Ye, you have wooden floors here. I don't even dare to step on them." Xia Zhongyuan looked at the smooth floor with some envy. "I have some wood stored over there. If you need it, just come and use it." Ye Chuan said with a smile. "Then I'd better obey your order, so that you won't feel bad." Xia Zhongyuan replied jokingly.

Following her husband, Liu Yue came to her son's room. The two of them looked at the scene in the room and chatted. At this time, Tong Yao, as the hostess, was busy, peeling fruit and making tea for everyone.

Xia Zhongyuan said to Tong Yao: "Sister-in-law, don't worry so much. We are used to rough living. Just drink tea." His praise was hidden behind the modesty of his words.

Ye Chuan walked up to Tong Yao and introduced the guests to her one by one.

As a teacher, Tong Yao was not shy in front of these people and greeted them one by one with a smile.

Afterwards, Xu Damao and Hu Qiumei also came to wish Ye Chuan a happy new year, but when they saw a group of people with serious expressions sitting in the room, they did not stay for long. They just said a few words and left.

Ye Chuan politely saw them out the door, and was naturally courteous to the guests who were able to enter the house to pay New Year's greetings.

After the half-hour party, everyone stood up to say goodbye, but Fatty Han stayed behind.

Not long after they left, Zhao Ji and Luo Aichi's kitchen team came to pay New Year's greetings.

As a core member of the business group, Zhao Ji took over the work of former deputy director Tan Jianye after Ye Chuan became deputy director, and in essence he was already the deputy manager of the business department.

As the supervisor of the entire logistics team, Luo Aimin holds a high position, so it was expected that he would visit Ye Chuan on the first day of the new year.

Before entering the door, the two men bowed first: "Happy New Year to Director Ye! Happy New Year to my sister-in-law!" They kept a low profile to show their respect.

Outside the house, Liu Yue and Ye Yongshun were quite shocked after hearing this.

The social friends who came to visit my son just now called him Brother Ye, while these people called him Director Ye. It is obvious that their relationship is unusual.

The two were filled with pride and comfort. They had not expected that just a few months later, someone in their family had already wished their son's colleagues a happy new year.

For Tong Yao, this respect also makes her very happy.

She was genuinely delighted to see her lover being so accepted and respected.

Throughout the whole process, Ye Chuan's majesty was undoubtedly displayed. After a simple greeting, he announced to Zhao Ji the work adjustments after the new year: "Zhao Ji, there may be some changes in the things in the department, and you should also be prepared to take on more responsibilities!"

"Thank you, Director Ye. I will do whatever you say and will live up to your expectations." He was smart and had already been adept at handling such occasions. Naturally, he understood the meaning behind Ye Chuan's words.

Looking at Zhao Ji's happy face, Luo Aimin was filled with envy.

After all, as a chef, his highest position is limited to the level of head chef, and there is not much progress to go.

Suddenly, Ye Chuan's eyes shifted to Luo Aimin: "Old Luo, your work may be heavier after the New Year. I hope you won't complain then." Hearing this, Luo Aimin didn't expect this to be a good thing, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Director Ye, I'm not afraid of hard work. I just want to do my part for our team and serve you."

Ye Chuan shook his head, "How can you serve me? You should provide the best support to all the workers in the group!" Tong Yao at the side tried hard to hold back her laughter. She found it funny that her husband spoke in an old cadre style.
