Chapter 2016 The Punishment Ends
New Year’s Eve passed in the blink of an eye.
The current situation is still the continuation of the previous thirty years of non-stop fighting, and the first day of the new year continues. So in the early morning of the first day of the new year, which is still filled with the smell of sulfur left last night, the residents of the city came out of their homes one after another. Get ready to go to work.
Chu Heng did not go to work today because he had nothing to do for the time being. He planned to stay at home with his precious daughter for two days before going.
After Qin Jingru left in the morning, he also came out of the house, ready to fulfill his promise.
He wandered in the alley, heading towards the telephone booth at the entrance of the alley. When he met the neighbors, he would smile and cup his hands, saying "Happy New Year".
Most people reacted as if they had been stung by a scorpion. They looked around furtively, secretly bowed their hands to him in return, whispered a happy New Year, and then hurried away.
I won’t go into details about the reason.
Soon, he wandered to the phone booth at the entrance of the alley. After saying New Year's greetings to old man Wen who was looking at the phone, he picked up the phone and dialed.
He made two calls in total. The first one was to an acquaintance in the city, asking him to send his little brother Chu Qi and the little girl named Ji Xuemei to northern Shaanxi.
The other party was dumbfounded at the time.
"No, I remember Chu Qi is your brother, right?"
"Ah, what's wrong?"
"What grudge does your brother have? Why are you still going there? Which place delivers it? I heard that Shaanxi Beiting is suffering, and he often misses his first meal. "
"Hey, this is not to train him, so you can just do it. I have something else to do, so I will hang up now and treat you to a drink another day. .”
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Heng dialed again and called He Zishi, asking him to call his comrade in northern Shaanxi and asking him to wait until Chu Qi came over. Take care of it a little later.
Well, just for a little while, just make sure you don’t die.
After explaining clearly, Chu Heng made an appointment with He Zishi to go to the old company commander to pay New Year's greetings on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, then hung up the phone and prepared to go back.
Unexpectedly, before he could go far, the phone rang. Old Man Wen picked it up and asked, then he quickly shouted to Chu Heng: "Chu Suo, don't leave yet. Is this okay?" Your call came from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”
"Tsk, you really don't want me to rest all day!"
Chu Heng immediately understood what the call was about, frowned, and then reluctantly walked over. He grabbed the phone that hadn't been hung up yet and asked: "Who?"
"It's me, the team leader, Qian Ding."
"Let's talk."
"The leader asked me to inform you that your punishment is over, so you should hurry up Go away... uh, come back to work."
"Is it just the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? What about the Grain Management Office?"
"I don't know about that."
"Okay, I'll go there later."
Chu Heng rolled his eyes and put down the phone. After thinking about it, he called his second uncle again and asked about the work arrangements at the Grain Management Office and whether he wanted to go back to work.
But Chu Jianshe finally sent this god of plague away, how could he possibly come back to cause trouble for him?
"Anyway, you won't be able to stay here long, so just work peacefully at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Huang Mingfeng will take over the work of the Liuliang Institute temporarily. When you leave, he will take your place."< br>
"Sure, you can look at the arrangements." Chu Heng was also expecting this result. He shrugged and hung up the phone. He took out a few cents from his pocket and gave them to Old Man Wen, then walked in. alley.
A few moments.
Chu Heng came to the confinement room. Ni Yinghong had just eaten and was holding Chu Zhile to breastfeed. Chu Zhecheng stood aside with a wrinkled face, waiting to eat the leftovers.
He is used to eating whole grains and grains, and now he is not very interested in this stuff.
“It’s really cold this morning.” Chu Heng, who was dressed in cold weather, stood at the door as usual before going in. He rubbed his hands, stamped his feet, looked at his daughter who was eating delicious food with a smile, and said: “Diplomacy There's a call from the Ministry. I have to go over there later."
"What about you? When will you be back?" Ni Yinghong looked up and said, "My cousin is here to pay New Year's greetings at noon. Can you come back in time?"
"I'll try my best. I haven't been there for a while, and I don't know if there are many things. , If you really can't come back, explain it to Huosheng and the others." Chu Heng didn't dare to guarantee it.
"Okay, I get it, screw you." Ni Yinghong nodded, suddenly frowned, and exclaimed: "Oh, I said it smells so bad, it's this girl who did it, you Come quickly and change her diaper.”
"Come on, come on!"
Chu Heng rushed to get a basin of warm water and brought it over. He had always disliked the job of changing diapers when Chu Zhecheng was born, and now he skillfully took over the job of changing diapers. , unwrap the swaddling clothes and take out the child, I wiped my little buttocks with a warm towel, changed into a clean diaper, wrapped the baby again and handed it to my wife. Then I picked up the dirty one and put it in the basin to wash it. Then I went out to dry it and then put away the things. , went out and drove away.
It didn’t take long.
Chu Heng came to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The New Year had just passed, but there was no sense of New Year in the ministry. Everyone was in a hurry, busy with new tasks for this year.
He strolled upstairs, first went to report to Mr. Meng, and then went to the winery project team that he had been away from for a long time.
"Oh, team leader, we miss you so much!"
"Does this sound so embarrassing to me?"
"Don't pay attention to these details, you don't know, Without your leadership, we Just like a child without a mother, he has no worries."
"Haha, that's too exaggerated."
"It's not an exaggeration at all. Sit down and I'll make you some tea. Go.”
Qian Ding and others, who had never had a backbone during this period, were overjoyed at his return and kept him in the conversation for a while.
After chatting like this for a while, Chu Heng began to deal with the official business that he had accumulated during his absence. A bunch of rotten garlic took out a bunch of thick documents and lined up waiting for him to sign.
He was reviewing and giving instructions, and it took him a full two hours to get it done.
"Old Qian." Handing the last document to Qian Ding, Chu Heng waved his hand and asked, "How is the packaging design team doing?"
"It's already there. They came up with a set of designs, but you weren't here for this section, and they didn't know whether you were satisfied or not. Thinking that it was idle time, they designed another set, but it was only halfway through. "Qian Ding was busy. road.
"Then let me go and take a look." Chu Heng stood up and walked downstairs with his hands behind his back, and came to a room on the third floor.
This room was originally a conference room. It was requisitioned by him a few years ago as a studio for the packaging design team. The area is small, only about fifty square meters. There is a long table in the middle with messy items on it. Various drawings and painting tools.
At this time, the five people in the design team were sitting at the table and immersed in drawing. The ground around them was littered with discarded scraps, cigarette butts and other items.
These five people were recruited by Chu Heng from the Design Institute and the Academy of Fine Arts. Except for one old gentleman who knew the culture of the Tang Dynasty very well, the rest were all young people in their twenties and thirties. .
This is what Chu Heng did specially. Old comrades have experience, but their ideas are too old, so he only found one person to act as a living dictionary, and the rest all had many ideas. A young man with a flexible mind.
