Siheyuan: Traveling through Cai Quanwu, pretending to be Uncle Shazhu

Jia Dongxu didn't stay long before saying goodbye and leaving. After all, after riding for a day, it would be a lie to say that his arms were not tired.

And I have to go to work tomorrow and have things to do at home.

Cai Quanwu and Shazhu brother and sister ate melon seeds for a while, chatted for a while, then went away to wash up and go to sleep.

Early the next morning, Cai Quanwu was woken up by Silly Zhu.

"Uncle, get up, eat, and go to work."

Cai Quanwu was in a daze from sleep. He was woken up by someone and was about to get angry.

When I heard Silly Zhu's words about going to work, I suddenly woke up.

The Spring Festival holiday is over, and it’s time to get back to work.

Cai Quanwu reluctantly dressed and got up, complaining in her heart that the vacation time passed so quickly.

After brushing your teeth and washing your face, after breakfast, you and Shazhu went to work.

When he arrived at the grain store, Cai Quanwu greeted everyone.

"Happy New Year."

Everyone responded with "Happy New Year".

For some reason, Cai Quanwu felt that everyone was not very interested.

He walked up to Sister Zhao and asked softly: "What's going on? Everyone is listless?"

Sister Zhao rolled her eyes at Cai Quanwu and thought to herself, who is so happy to go to work on the first day of the new year?

It's not even two days since I started working this year. It's strange to be energetic.

"It's nothing. It's normal. It'll be fine in two days."

Sister Zhao looked at Cai Quanwu making a fuss and said angrily.

Cai Quanwu was right when he thought about it. It was normal to fish for fish on the first day of work.

Especially in grain stores, everyone bought a lot of grain before the Chinese New Year. Cai Quanwu guessed that no one would come to buy grain in the first week.

Now that the food supply is plentiful, it is not a good idea to store too much food at home.

After being bored at Sister Zhao's place, Cai Quanwu smiled sarcastically, said hello to everyone, and returned to his cabin through the back door.

I opened the hut, cleaned it, and then went to the kitchen to get some dry firewood to light the stove.

Everyone has just arrived, but there are no burning briquettes.

I took the stove outside and cleaned it, stuffed some scrap newspapers in it, put some firewood on top, and started lighting the stove.

When the firewood was burning and the briquettes were put in, Cai Quanwu took the enamel jar and kettle to wash.

After everything was done, the day's fishing began.

Just as Cai Quanwu thought, Cai Quanwu came into the store from time to time to chat with everyone. From morning to night, there was not a single customer in the grain store.

When it was almost time to get off work, Cai Quanwu said hello to the director and left early.

The first day at work passed like this.

After returning home, after dinner, I chatted with Shazhu about work.

The two units are not comparable at all.

Cai Quanwu and the others can fish together, but not the factory. They have production tasks.

Of course, Silly Zhu and the others can definitely make a fortune in their kitchen work.

Feeling uninteresting, Cai Quanwu went back to his room to sleep on the kang.

……

Time flew by, and Cai Quanwu had been fishing for several days before he knew it.

I have to say, my life was really comfortable.

A cup of tea and a day passes.

At work that day, Cai Quanwu was fishing normally. Brother Li ran in and called Cai Quanwu.

"Nothing at all, the director called for a meeting."

"oh oh."

Cai Quanwu got up and followed Brother Li into the grain store.

Walking into the crowd, Cai Quanwu asked softly in Sister Zhao's ear: "Do you know something?"

"I don't know. The director just called a meeting when he arrived. I guess there are some instructions from above."

Sister Zhao expressed her suspicions.

Hearing what Sister Zhao said, Cai Quanwu suddenly had a bad feeling.

Instructions from superiors rarely turn out to be a good thing.

Director Ma came out of the office, walked up to everyone, looked at everyone, cleared his throat, and said:

"We held a meeting in the morning and issued instructions to all grain stores to take advantage of the few customers to take inventory and take stock of their respective properties."

"After the data is collected and reported, the food will be allocated back to the office. We can make overall plans based on the statistical data."

"Everyone will work harder these two days to get the numbers."

"any questions?"

After Director Ma finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion below.

"Isn't this just looking for trouble?"

"That's right, this didn't happen in previous years."

"I don't know which evil guy came up with it."

……

I don’t blame everyone for complaining. It’s only been two days of relaxation. Everyone thought they would be comfortable for a few more days, but they didn’t expect something would happen from above.

Hearing the discussion below, Director Ma scolded with a straight face: "It's just such a small amount of work, why are there so many complaints? What do you want to do? Just sit here and play while the state pays you wages?"

"Afraid of hardship at work, what great things can you do and how can you contribute to the motherland."

"Revolutionary work is not about treating guests to dinner, it requires a spirit of hard work and hard work."

Director Ma raised the banner and gave everyone a lesson. After this lesson, everyone became honest.

Only then did everyone react, and if you complained privately, the director would not care about you.

But if you talk nonsense in front of the director without a few words of criticism from the director, if it is spread out by someone who is interested, or if you complain to the leader, Director Ma will definitely be disappointed.

After reprimanding everyone, Director Ma looked a little better and spoke in a gentler tone.

"We are not children anymore, nor have we just started working. Don't say anything that is not conducive to unity in the future."

"The instructions and orders from superiors must be implemented thoroughly, and there should be no bargaining mentality."

"I'm not paying you a salary so that you can live without a living."

"Okay, go to work as instructed."

After saying that, he turned back to his office.

After Director Ma left, everyone looked at each other for a few times. Their arms couldn't twist their thighs, so they honestly took the tools and went to the back warehouse.

……

"Bangzi noodles, eighty-six bags, 13827 pounds."

"Millet, sixteen bags, 1543 pounds."

Several people were busy until noon and counted two things.

The main reason is that everyone has no energy to work and is just fishing.

How can you get any work done by carrying a bag of grain and resting for a long time?

There's no rush anyway, there's still plenty of time.

"Let's go, let's eat, we'll do it again in the afternoon."

Cai Quanwu invited everyone to eat.

It’s dinner time, what are you doing if you don’t eat?

As soon as Cai Quan said nothing, everyone agreed.

"That's right, let's go eat, I'm exhausted."

"Sister Zhao, Quan Wucai and I are tired."

"You're so tired, it takes two people half a day to carry a bag."

……

As soon as we talked about eating, everyone got excited, joking with each other and walked out of the back room.

After everyone had dinner, they stayed in the sun chatting and spanking.

We are all acquaintances, and when we chat together, everyone can say all kinds of things.

Cai Quanwu felt that he, an experienced driver, could not drive these people.

The walls at this time were not well insulated, and many couples' lives could be heard clearly.

So, there were a lot of rumors.

For example, so-and-so’s husband is not good at it and it ends in less than three minutes. So-and-so’s couple is shameless and does that thing every night.

Also, so-and-so’s wife is unruly, having an affair with so-and-so, so-and-so’s husband has a woman outside, so-and-so is picking off ashes with his father-in-law, etc.

It was an eye-opener for Cai Quanwu to hear this. He didn't expect that people at this time were quite good at playing.

After gossiping, everyone felt much better when it was time to go to work.

Sure enough, spiritual food cannot be missing.

Unfortunately, mental state and work are not directly proportional.

When working in the afternoon, everyone still had the mentality of fishing.

It's almost time to get off work, and the back warehouse hasn't been even halfway checked yet.

Director Ma came here with a smile and left with a dark face.

There is no way to tell. If you say we work slowly, people will say that we work carefully, but if we work too fast, it is easy to make mistakes.

Seeing the director with a dark face, Cai Quanwu felt that these people felt very happy. He didn't know how these people felt.

The instructions above are closely related to the director.

Maybe it's just because the leader is unhappy.
