Chapter 747: Recliner 1
The salary and benefits are quite different, and generally, chefs with some ambitions will not enter factories and companies.
After dinner, Zhou Tian originally wanted to go straight to work, but Dean Wang gave him two days off. After all, everyone who knows the work of the research institute knows that as long as there is a mission, it is common not to be able to go home for ten days or half a month.
So he was asked to go home and spend two days with his wife and children before coming back to work.
Zhou Tian originally wanted to refuse Dean Wang's kindness, but after thinking about it, he agreed.
After chatting with Dean Wang for a while, he drove away from the Fifth Research Institute. Of course, he had already obtained the pass. After all, he didn't want to be stopped again.
When I got home, it was already past two o'clock.
"Xiaotian, is everything done?"
As soon as I walked into the east courtyard, my grandmother and mother-in-law were sitting in the yard sewing insoles. When they saw their eldest grandson coming back, my grandmother couldn't help but ask.
Hearing grandma's question, grandpa, who was listening to the radio nearby, couldn't help but turn down the volume and pricked up his ears.
"Don't worry, grandma, everything has been done. The dean has given me two days off. I can go there in two days!"
As Zhou Tian spoke, he took out a stool from the house and sat next to his grandmother.
However, after looking around, he couldn't help thinking that the house seemed to be lacking a few lounge chairs. Especially as the weather was gradually getting warmer, he felt comfortable just thinking about lying on a lounge chair and basking in the warm sunshine.
He did it as he thought. He immediately stood up and walked outside.
"Grandson, where are you going?"
"Grandma, I have something else to do. I'll be back soon!"
Zhou Tian said this and walked outside without looking back. When he just walked out of the east courtyard, he couldn't help but stop.
“Are there any reclining chairs for sale at this time?”
He couldn't help scratching his head. After all, he had bought furniture before, but he had never seen a recliner for sale in a store. Oh, maybe the furniture factory should have one.
Thinking of this, he immediately returned to his room and called the Changping Furniture Factory directly.
Sure enough, the furniture factory had recliners. He ordered eight recliners from the furniture factory and agreed to have them delivered immediately. Then he hung up the phone, left the house and walked outside.
When I left the house, I saw many children who had not yet gone to school playing in the alley. Many women were sewing shoe soles while watching the children.
Under a locust tree not far from the women, a group of old men were playing chess, and from time to time there were sounds of arguments.
"Hey, Dean Zhou, are you taking a rest?"
Just as Zhou Tian stepped out of the door, a woman shouted at him.
"Yeah, take a break these two days!"
Zhou Tian had no impression of this woman, but he still nodded to her.
After standing at the door for a while, he felt bored. Just as he was about to go and see the people playing chess, he heard the roar of a car. Zhou Tian looked in the direction of the sound and saw a truck driving towards him.
He stopped right in front of Zhou's house, under everyone's astonished gaze.
"Dean, I brought it to you!"
The director of the furniture factory, Chang Weilai, jumped out of the car and immediately ran towards Zhou Tian.
"Mr. Chang, why did you come here in person? I just bought eight lounge chairs!"
The moment he saw Chang Weilai, he couldn't help but feel speechless. Although he was disgusted by his subordinates doing this, he also knew that this was part of the ways of the world and he couldn't just do it on his own.
"Dean, look at what you said, your affairs are all big things to me!"
Chang Weilai said something flattering, then turned to the three people behind him and said, "Okay, don't just stand there, move the reclining chairs on the truck in!"
"Okay, director!"
Hearing what was said, the three people behind him jumped into the car, took down the recliners one by one, and then each of them carried a recliner and went home.
"Okay, everyone just put the recliners here!"
Before the others entered, Zhou Tian opened the door first, and then directed the three people to put the recliners in the front yard.
"Commander, what are you doing?"
Seeing the strangers, Chang Wen immediately walked over and looked at them warily.
"These are the workers from the furniture factory. I bought eight reclining chairs. By the way, Chang Wen, you can help them with one too!"
Seeing Chang Wen coming, Zhou Tian turned around and gave instructions to Chang Wen.
"Yes, Chief!"
Hearing the leader's words, Chang Wen helped the four people carry the things without any hesitation.
The eight lounge chairs were moved in two trips, and Zhou Tian took out sixteen yuan and handed it to Chang Weilai. Although Chang Weilai refused to take it, Zhou Tian would not leave such a tail.
After all, he was already getting a bargain since the furniture factory was able to transport the recliner here by truck, so how could he do something without paying?
After sending Chang Weilai away, he and Chang Wen delivered the recliners to the east and west courtyards and their own third courtyard respectively.
Looking at the recliner that the eldest grandson and Chang Wen sent, before the grandfather even opened his mouth, the grandmother couldn't help but complain: "Grandson, why did you buy this thing? You can't eat or drink from it. Isn't this a waste of money?"
Obviously in the grandmother's eyes, it was unnecessary for her eldest grandson to buy a recliner.
"Grandma, I just wanted to let your second child get some sun as the weather gets warmer. It's also good for your health, so I bought it!"
"Well, this is a gift from our eldest grandson. We just need to keep it. What are you saying, old woman?"
When grandpa saw that grandma was about to say something, he couldn't help but interrupt.
"Yes, grandma, you can use them now that you have bought them. By the way, mom, I also bought two for you and dad, a total of eight. I put the remaining two in the back room. When your recliners become unusable or broken, you can replace them!"
Seeing that his grandmother was about to get angry, Zhou Tian interrupted what she wanted to say, turned around and said something to his mother-in-law, then left the East Courtyard with Chang Wen.
"Chang Wen, does the organization have any new arrangements for you guys?"
Since he came back, he has not asked Chang Wen and the other two about their plans. After all, he is going to the Fifth Research Institute next, and he doesn't know whether Chang Wen and the other two will be transferred.
"Commander, Chang Wu and I will stay with you. As for Xiao Liu, I'm afraid he will be transferred to another unit!"
When Chang Wen heard the chief's question, he answered truthfully that in fact, the two brothers had also worried about this problem after they came back this time, but they were relieved after receiving the order from above three days ago that everything should remain the same.
In the past few years, they have been following the leader, and the leader treats them very well. If they have a choice, they will naturally choose to continue following Zhou Tian.
