The man Guo Xiaokun brought was called Cheng Laoba, an employee of the scrap yard. He had some problems with his right leg and walked with a limp.
This man also specialized in building houses before the liberation. Later, he broke his right leg due to carelessness. As you can imagine, the medical conditions at that time meant that he could no longer do the job of building a house. After the liberation, he was assigned to work at a scrap yard.
.
Li Heng asked him to help supervise the construction of his new yard.
Although this man's legs don't work very well, he is still more than enough to be a supervisor. After all, he knows his stuff. He started this business earlier than Lao Yang, and everyone knows each other. Those people have to call him brother when they see him.
.
Guo Xiaokun poured a glass of water for Lao Cheng and then left. It was better not to listen to the leader's private matters.
"How old are you? Have you seen all the lumber you brought?"
"I've seen them. They're pretty good. They're all made of good quality materials. Although I didn't see the seller, I could guess after seeing some of the wood that they were the same people who demolished the palace."
"Removed the wood from the palace?" Li Heng was a little surprised: "Lao Cheng, when did the palace be demolished? Can the wood still be used after so many years?"
"Director, that palace was not very old. It had not even been completed when it was demolished. Many of the woods were well preserved. I just looked at it and it is absolutely fine for building a house. A considerable part of it is new.
Materials, hey, I don’t know where they got them from.
I also told Captain Yang to try to use new materials first, and if there are any old materials left, they will be made into furniture for you."
"Leave it to me. Don't worry. They don't have the guts to fool me, an old man. I guarantee that they will do a good job for you under supervision."
"Master...Director, I can't have this." Lao Cheng looked at the packet of milk powder and quickly shook his hand.
Although a packet of milk powder won't last long, but with rice cereal, it can make it last a long time.
This thing is absolutely scarce. Does he want it? I definitely want it. I don’t know why. The third daughter-in-law is already giving birth to her second child, but this time she has very little milk. The child is so hungry that she screams all day long.
, giving him and his wife something to worry about.
His little boy was so hot during this period that he lay on the ground with his legs stretched out all day long, sticking out his tongue desperately.
However, he put the few ceiling fans that had just been delivered to the front store, three of them on each floor.
Li Heng heard from his father-in-law that Lao Cheng is quite responsible. He goes there almost every day, and sometimes stays there after ten o'clock at night. If he sees any piece of work that is not done correctly, he will ask the workers to start over.
It made Lao Yang have a headache when he saw him.
After writing for a while, he put down his pen with some irritability, stood up and walked to the window.
If this happened in the past, if you didn't buy anything and came to our place to rub the fan? We would have kicked these people out long ago. This kind of thing will not happen now.
As Li Heng said this, he took out a peony from the cabinet under his desk and threw it over.
"You're welcome. It's such a hot day that you have to run around to do personal things for me. I should be the one thanking you."
In fact, he should ask someone to make a budget first to see how much it will cost to build a building. This way, when applying, the leader can understand at a glance and have an idea.
But he deliberately didn't want to do that this time, he just wanted to leave the money blank here, because the houses he wanted to build were different from those that already existed, and the pigeon house being built, and the costs were also different.
, there is no ready-made template at all. Even if you find someone to make a budget, the gap will definitely be very big. If that is the case, you may still suspect that he has been embezzled.
All the workers carrying goods in the yard also hid in the shade. No one wanted to leave them in the sun.
"I don't understand these things. Anyway, I leave them to you. Please worry more about them in the past few months."
Since the weather started to get hot in June, it has only rained twice in total. It has not been very heavy and only wetted the ground. It has been a difficult period for outdoor workers.
"Take it, Lao Cheng, I won't need it for a while, so I can't let it get damaged. Go back and replenish it for the child."
Not to mention, the department store's change in service attitude in the past two months has actually improved its reputation among the public.
There were a lot of people there, and a lot of heat was emitted. When he entered that day, he felt like he was in a steamer. He quickly ordered someone to turn on the ceiling fan, which made him feel much better.
"By the way, I heard from Lao Zhang that your third daughter-in-law gave you a grandson last month. I have a package of milk powder here. You can take it back and give it to your child. Consider it a congratulatory gift from me."
An article he wrote earlier was also published by the newspaper. At that time, the bureau only submitted the article to the local newspaper in Sijiu City. Unexpectedly, it was reprinted by the daily on the third day, and the next day, a special article was published on this matter.
wrote an editorial.
"Lao Cheng, take this guy and smoke it first."
Li Heng turned around and took out a packet of milk powder from the cabinet at the back and placed it in front of Lao Cheng.
The weather was really hot. The door and windows were wide open, and I couldn't feel a breath of wind.
After seeing off Lao Cheng who had thanked him so much for his kindness, Li Heng lay on his desk and began to write an application for building a family building.
He planned to write a vague application this time, mainly rely on his oral report, and then write a formal one after discussing with the leader.
"Hey, thank you, director." The old man narrowed his eyes with joy. This guy is a long-time smoker. He injured his leg and couldn't work to make money for several years. The conditions at home are indeed relatively poor. He usually buys cigarettes.
They buy them by the root, and he has smoked leaf rolls before. This cigarette can save him from smoking for a long time.
But because it's so precious, he won't feel at ease letting him take it.
There are quite a few people using the fans now, just like those people who used the air conditioners in shopping malls in later generations, but it seems that their place is very popular.
Seeing Li Heng's unquestionable expression, Lao Cheng grabbed the packet of milk powder in his trembling right hand.
The leaders above haven't enjoyed it yet, they are using it first. If someone exposes it, it will definitely be enough for him to drink a pot.
"Thank you, director."
When it comes to putting a fan in the office, they don't have it here, they have it in the warehouse, but he doesn't dare.
Is this right? Why do we need a supervisor?
This took their department store's work of changing their service attitude to a new level.
Leader Fu, who had never summoned him, also sent someone to call him over to encourage him.
As the daily newspaper reprinted it, he, the director of the Forty-Nine City Department Store, became somewhat famous throughout the country.
This is to do work, not only to do it, but also to do it on the surface, so that others can see it.
