Chapter 242: Why did you provoke them?

A female comrade from the Women's Federation subconsciously explained, but Pei Yanning didn't wait for her to finish her words and smiled, "You know, I donated voluntarily!"

He looked like he understood.

The Women's Federation: "..."

What does he know?
Jin Qingyao nodded. She felt that she understood Pei Yanning's meaning. The water had to be taken out anyway. Instead of considering it as the factory's property and letting it be taken out, it would be better to just say it as a donation.

So she smiled and nodded.

Pei Yanning saw people coming into the yard to join in the fun from the corner of his eye, and he felt a little guilty when he spoke.

"It's really unreasonable of me to ask you to go door-to-door to mobilize for such a collective activity. Donating water, right? I wonder how much Secretary Jin donated, and how much everyone else donated?"

Pei Yanning asked humbly, "Give me some advice, I'll see if the water output from the well at home is enough. If not, I'll find another way."

Everyone: "..."

What does it mean? !

no--

These people are from the surveying team. They discovered that there is plenty of water nearby. Also, they saw that the grass, vegetables, flowers and trees nearby are all more lush and green than those elsewhere. That's why they came here excitedly, wanting to see the water and think about how to distribute it. They wonder how long it will last the factory.

How did this suddenly become a donation?!
Gu Si and Ling Xi looked at each other and tried not to laugh out loud.

Pei Yanning continued to speak, and he started praising.

“You female comrades are just attentive, and that’s good.

Let’s start by leading by example from our leadership team, saving water, squeezing out the excess water and donating it. This will play a very good leading role. When the time comes, the employees in the factory will also save water and donate it, and we can also support our farmer brothers!
We all work together to overcome difficulties. We have made it through 25,000. What does this mean now? "

The first person who came over after hearing the noise: "..."

!!!

What the hell? !
Lingxi, turn your face away, I can’t take it anymore, hahahaha!

She wants to laugh!
This is going to drag everyone down!

You are worthy of being my biological father!

Gu Si calmly blocked Ling Xi. The pale-faced young man coughed lightly and started to cooperate with Pei Yanning.

"Dad is right. The leaders in our factory are aware of this. So are you. Besides being busy with the research institute, you should also pay attention to other things. If they hadn't come to you, you would have missed this opportunity. I don't know how you would blame yourself in the future."

His voice is not loud, but his presence is strong.

Jin Qingyao and others who came to the door subconsciously said that they had misunderstood.

However, Pei Yanning had already nodded, and his attitude was very sincere.

"I've been too busy lately."

People who came to join in the fun didn't understand the situation and just thought that the factory was organizing some donation activity. Pei Yaning didn't pay attention to it. When people came to his door, he subconsciously comforted them.

"How can this be blamed on Deputy Director Pei?"

You have to know that since the S country people left, those in the factory who had close ties with S country, no matter they were translators, technicians or engineers, all were strictly screened. Some who were unlucky were directly transferred to the workshop to be front-line workers.

If he wants his team to function normally, it is inevitable that he, as the leader, will be busy.

Pei Yanning looked embarrassed.

"My fault, my fault."

He looked at Jin Qingyao and the others with particular sincerity. Hearing another group of people approaching outside, he emphasized the point again.

“I think it’s a great idea that you proposed that the factory leadership team take the lead in donating.
There are indeed difficulties everywhere now. My eldest nephew gave my daughter a few kilograms of fine white flour a few days ago, and I will donate it later.

How much rations did we receive this month..."

He seemed to be a little confused about asking Gu Si, and then looked at everyone.

"And the vegetables we grow in our backyard, all the remaining water from our well goes into them.

Look at this..."

He looked like he was willing to give everything he had to help everyone through this difficult time. "Wait wait wait!"

Hearing that Pei Yanning had water, and a lot of it, Zheng Bing, who came over with a group of leaders to check out the situation, was stunned when he heard this as soon as he entered the yard. Several factory directors, deputy factory directors and section chiefs subconsciously interrupted him.

Going crazy!
What to donate?
And the leadership team takes the lead in donating?

Jin Qingyao must be crazy. How could she come up with such a brilliant idea?

The leadership team is now not able to eat enough, and they cannot find any wild vegetables when they go out to dig them.

That's not how it works at all.

He winked at Pei Yanning frantically, and did not forget to look at Gu Si for help. There were some things he could not say, but what Gu Si said was absolutely appropriate.

Jin Qingyao and the others were completely confused. How did they donate water? How did it become donating food and vegetables? !
Who told them what this was for?!

Gu Si was having a hard time holding back his laughter. He coughed weakly and said to Pei Yanning, "Dad, there are only two kilograms of white flour. It's not that it's bad, but what everyone lacks now is not fine grains, but food that can keep them alive and fill their stomachs."

Everyone nodded subconsciously.

Right, that is it!

Gu Si continued: "Besides, it is the love that elder brother and second uncle have for Lingxi. It is indeed inappropriate for you to take it out."

Pei Yanning seemed a little disapproving.

Gu Si changed the subject: “Dad, we all know that you are devoted and can’t think of anything else.

But even if you want to contribute, you have to survive.

How about this, please?

You want to give everything you have, and we have nothing to say if you donate your quota of food.

As for the rest...

Dad!

You have a high level of awareness, but we, as your children, always hope that you will be fine too.

Our three little ones are still young, so we should use their food rations to honor you, our grandfather. Lingxi and I don’t make much anyway, and if we squeeze in a little, and with the help of our second uncle, we will definitely not starve to death.”

Gu Si spoke earnestly.

“Dad, you can make your contribution, and we won’t stop you.

But you can't force our three little kids who know nothing to contribute anything!
Lingxi, I and the three little kids at home are showing our filial piety to you. Second Uncle and his family are in a difficult situation in the village. He loves you as his younger brother and can only give you a little. When you are making your contribution, please don’t ignore our kindness.”

Pei Yanning seemed to be persuaded.

He sighed, feeling somewhat guilty: "This is the only way. I'm donating my food rations for this month."

Everyone was very excited when they heard it.

Twenty kilograms of food, two ounces or one ounce per meal, will not kill people with hunger. This is enough for one or two hundred people to live one more day.

You can't just go after Deputy Director Pei!

They've given everything they have, what more do they want?!
There were some smarter people in the crowd who had already reacted and started praising the leaders.

"The leaders in our factory have a high level of awareness."

"Otherwise, how can he be a leader?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Those who are well-off should help those in need. In special times, we should support each other so that we can live a better life!"

"Yes, yes, everyone is having difficulties, but our leaders have not forgotten to support us ordinary workers..."

Everyone was talking at once, and the situation suddenly became one-sided.

Dear leaders: “…”

hiss!
This is set up!
Gu Qingnan and Zhao Jianan, who were watching in the crowd, looked at each other and almost laughed out loud.

There's nothing wrong with you, why did you provoke them?
