Chapter 427 Steel Mill Garden Party
After parking the bicycle in the shed, I followed He Yuzhu into the security office of the steel mill.

"Old Zhou, nothing happened in the factory, right?
There must be at least 5 to 6 people working at the steel mill today. Comrades, you have a heavy responsibility and nothing can go wrong."

Hearing He Yuzhu's voice coming from the door, Zhou Yiming, who was writing materials in the office, quickly put down his pen and stood up.
Then he reported his work to He Yuzhu.
"Our security department made arrangements two days ago. All workshops were locked in advance to prevent family members from accessing the factory equipment. Special personnel were also arranged to guard the fire-fighting water tank.

……

It will be fine, Captain He."

Since the Security Department had already taken all aspects of the situation into consideration, He Yuzhu nodded and said nothing more.

I remembered what He Daqing said this morning about the new leader coming to the steel mill.
He Yuzhu, who wanted to know what kind of people Director Yang and Li Huaide were, then asked about the new leader.

“Didn’t the factory say that a new leader was coming?

Have you arrived yet? Have you met them? What do you think of them?"

"The new leader has arrived.

Comrades from the Machinery Department convened a meeting of the factory leadership team in the morning and introduced the new factory director Yang and deputy factory director Li and several other cadres to us.
Several new leaders also handed over their work to Secretary Ma and Director Wang, and were waiting to officially go to work on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year and take over the steel rolling mill.

As for what they are like, I have just met them and I don’t know much about them.

However, I heard them reveal at the meeting that there will be major changes to the steel rolling mill after the Chinese New Year, but they didn't say what the specific changes will be.

I think it has something to do with the recent intensified training of our militia."

I know Zhou Yiming is referring to the kind of things that can be done but not said,

He Yuzhu did not ask any more questions.

He was indeed a little anxious. Zhou Yiming had never known Li Huaide and the others before, so naturally he had no way of talking about his opinion of them.

"Okay, I'll just spend the New Year at the steel mill, you guys go about your business, don't worry about me.

I went out to participate in the garden party."

“Yes, Captain He.

By the way, Captain He, Yushui, and He Ying seem to be circling in the small kitchen. Director Lou and his family are here too. They should be chatting with Chef He in the cafeteria right now."

"Okay, then I'll go to the small kitchen and take a look. This will save me the trouble of looking for them everywhere."

Coming out of the Security Office, He Yuzhu went straight to the small cafeteria of the steel mill. As soon as he arrived, he heard He Ying yelling inside.
Following the sound,

I immediately discovered that my son was playing ring toss with other children under the guidance of He Yushui and He Jianguo.

Standing next to them were the two children from my eldest brother-in-law's family.

"Jinhong, Jinhu, where are grandpa and grandma?"

Hearing He Yuzhu's voice, the two children subconsciously turned their heads to look over, and then ran to him with smiles on their faces.
"Uncle, you are here.

Grandpa and grandma were chatting with Grandpa He in the small kitchen. My mom and aunt were also there.
Uncle, when are you going to take us to the shooting range to shoot again? We haven't played with guns for a long time."

Noticing the movements of the two watches, He Ying and the others who were having fun also looked over. Seeing He Yuzhu coming, they hurried over.

He Ying even showed off his new toy to his father. "Dad, look, my aunt and uncle just set a trap for me with a picture book and a slingshot. Dad, can you also set something for me?"

I took the picture book my son handed me and flipped through it. I found it was Gao Yubao, which was published a few years ago.
Then he returned the things to his son.
"Then have you thanked your aunt and uncle?"

"Thank you, thank you. My aunt and uncle said you're welcome.

Dad, can you help me put the ring on it? There is a beautiful little wooden gun at the farthest point. We can’t put it on no matter how hard we try. Can you help me put it on? "

Seeing his son looking at him pitifully, he pointed at the place where the ring was put on.
He Yuzhu smiled and touched his little head.

"Okay, Dad will go and take a look for you. If it can be put on, I will put it on for you."

When He Ying heard that his omnipotent father wanted to help him put the ring on, he jumped for joy and quickly pulled He Yuzhu towards the ring.
At this time, He Yuzhu looked at Lou Jinhong and Lou Jinhu and said,
"Wait until after the Chinese New Year. After the Chinese New Year, your uncle will take you to the shooting range and let you practice shooting."

"Okay, that's great, uncle. Thank you, uncle."

When He Yuzhu arrived at the ring-tossing activity site, he saw all kinds of things placed inside.
Closer up there are various cigarette boxes and candy wrappers; further away are various picture books and slingshots; and farthest away is the little wooden gun that He Ying has been obsessed with, which is beautifully made and even painted with some varnish.

It's not just the little guy He Ying.

Bang Geng'er, He Jianguo and other half-grown children were actually very envious. From time to time, some of them would throw the small iron rings distributed by the steel rolling mill over there.
But because the distance is too far, no one has succeeded yet.

Of course, there were also some children who did not have such great ambitions. They just used the small iron ring to put things closer, and from time to time they would get something. Then they would receive their prizes from the staff next to them with a proud laugh.

When He Ying saw that someone else was trying to put on the small wooden spear, he suddenly became anxious and shook He Yuzhu's sleeve vigorously.

"Dad, please help me put on the little wooden gun."

The comrades in the logistics department of the steel rolling mill who were in charge of organizing the event on site naturally knew He Yuzhu.

After hearing what He Ying said, he smiled and said,

"Captain He, adults cannot participate in today's activities. Otherwise, it will be unfair to other children."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu looked at the family members who were just standing and chatting, then smiled and nodded, then looked down at He Ying and said,

"Son, this uncle won't let dad help you put the ring on.

And you see so many uncles and aunts around are not helping your brothers and sisters, so dad naturally can’t help you either.

If you want this little wooden gun, you will have to rely on your uncle and two brothers to help you.

Daddy gave you no prizes and wasted your little iron ring.
Not worth it. "

When he heard his father say that he not only got no prizes for the ring toss, but also wasted the small iron rings, He Ying looked at the only four rings left in his hand and shook his head.
"I don't have many friends anymore, so don't try to trick me, Dad. I'll ask my uncle to help me."

Then he let go of He Yuzhu and ran to He Jianguo.
"Uncle, please help me put it on."

"Okay, He Ying, you have to trust your uncle. I will definitely help you get the small wooden gun case back this time."

"Well, uncle is the best. You have helped me get so many things. This time I will definitely be able to get the little wooden gun."

Seeing his son's sweet words coming out of his mouth like they were free, He Yuzhu shook his head with a smile, then gave He Yushui some instructions and went to the small kitchen.
