Siheyuan: The happy life of a little chef

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the group finally arrived at the steel mill.

"Dad, wait here for a while while I go find Xu Damao and Li Jianjun."

Qin Dashan waved his hand.

"Go ahead, we're here and we're not going anywhere."

Qin Jianghe and Qin Xiaohu sat in the carriage, looking at the gate of the steel mill excitedly.

Qin Huairu first went back to the third canteen to find Li Jianjun.

"Jianjun, my father and uncle are so excited that they insist on coming over now. They are already at the factory gate. I really can't do anything. Do you think we can do it now?"

Li Jianjun smiled.

"Sister-in-law, I understand. After all, for them, working as a worker in the city is much better than working in the village. This is a chance to change their fate, so they are naturally excited."

"Well, you go find Xu Damao, and then go to the factory gate with him. I'll go find Director Li. By the way, what are the names of your two brothers?"

Qin Huairu said gratefully.

"Qin Jianghe, there is another one called Qin Xiaohu."

Li Jianjun took note of it and went to Li Huaide’s office.

When Li Jianjun arrived at the factory gate, Xu Damao was being flattered by Qin Mancang and Qin Dashan.

Li Jianjun asked curiously.

"What's wrong? Do you know each other?"

Xu Damao said with a smile.

"What a coincidence! I went to Qinjia Village to show a movie, and Village Chief Qin gave me some mountain products."

Qin Huairu quickly introduced.

"Dad, uncle, this is Li Jianjun."

Li Jianjun greeted politely.

"Hello, uncles."

Qin Dashan held Li Jianjun's hand and said excitedly.

"Comrade Li Jianjun, Huairu told us everything about you when he got home. Thank you for helping Huairu. I should have come to thank you earlier, but I was afraid to disturb you. I'm really sorry."

Li Jianjun said indifferently.

"Uncle, my sister-in-law and I are neighbors. It's only natural for us to help each other. There's no need to thank us so much."

After saying that, Li Jianjun took out two employment certificates.

"This is the employment certificate for Qin Jianghe and Qin Xiaohu. Brother Damao, take them to the Human Resources Department to handle it. By the way, if you don't have a place to live, there are dormitories in the factory. Just bring some spare clothes and quilts."

Qin Dashan slapped his brain.

"Oh, I forgot. I was so busy reporting that I forgot to bring my stuff. So, Jiang He and Xiao Hu will go with your master to handle the formalities first. Big brother and I will go back to get the stuff and bring it to you."

Qin Huairu felt a little sorry for her father.

"Dad, isn't it too rushed? Why don't they go back with you after they finish the formalities, and then you can come to work officially tomorrow."

Qin Mancang also felt that it was too rushed. After all, it was not safe to walk on the road at night.

"Is it okay? It won't delay them, right?"

Xu Damao said with a smile.

"No, it's already afternoon, and it's not too late to finish the paperwork. Just come tomorrow morning. I'll take them to the dormitory I've arranged for them, and it won't be too late to go to work then."

Seeing that everything was arranged, Li Jianjun didn't stay any longer.

"Sister-in-law, you stay and talk to your family. I'll go in first."

"Thank you, Jianjun. I won't go in then. The bike is still parked where you left it."

Seeing Li Jianjun leave, Xu Damao also went in with his two apprentices, leaving only three people waiting at the door.

Qin Dashan sighed.

"Huai Ru, Li Jianjun is not very old, but he is really capable!"

Qin Huairu's eyes were full of gratitude.

"Yeah, if it weren't for him, I don't know if I would be able to meet you in this life. He helped me so much and didn't ask for anything from me. He's such a good person."

Qin Mancang also said this.

“There are still many good people in this world.”

It was soon time for Li Jianjun to get off work, and he was the first to arrive at the gate of the courtyard.

But this time I didn’t rush in, and I just happened to see the three aunts coming out.

Li Jianjun waved to the three aunts.

The three aunts came over puzzled.

"Jianjun, why are you sneaking around when you're not going home?"

Li Jianjun did not answer and pulled the three aunts to a corner.

"Third Auntie, I need your help with something."

The third aunt said unhappily.

"If you have something to say, just tell me. Why are you in the corner, making it look like a street scene?"

Li Jianjun also felt that the man just now did not look like a good person and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"It's like this, Third Aunt, you usually spend a lot of time chatting with people in the courtyard. Have you ever observed the situation of First Aunt?"

The three aunts were a little curious.

"What's going on, auntie? Explain it clearly."

"Physical condition, do you often feel uncomfortable?"

The three aunts thought about something.

"It seemed like she would get worse every once in a while. In serious cases, she would even faint. She fainted once and we had to send her to the hospital, but after examination, there was nothing wrong with her. It was really strange. The doctor said she was just a little weak."

Li Jianjun was more certain of his guess this time, so he said.

"Third Auntie, next time if Auntie faints, or is about to faint, please send her to the hospital immediately and have her checked out. I'll pay for it."

After saying that, Li Jianjun took out twenty yuan and handed it to the three aunts.

"The extra will be your reward."

The third aunt was very happy when she saw the twenty yuan in her hand. The examination only cost a little, probably less than five yuan in total, so the extra money was hers.

"Don't worry, Jianjun. Auntie Thirty will make sure this matter is handled for you."

Li Jianjun nodded.

"But you can't tell this to anyone, including the Third Master, understand?"

The third aunt couldn't figure it out, so she had a physical examination. She couldn't tell anyone, so she just let it go.

"What if your uncle asks me where the money came from?"

"Just tell him that I asked you to do something. If I don't ask you to tell him, he won't ask."

The three aunts thought about it.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Is that all?"

"That's all, let's go back."

After a while everyone went off work, but Director Wang also came, so there was no need to think, the whole hospital meeting had begun.

"Today's meeting is held because of Yi Zhonghai, the great uncle of your hospital. I don't need to tell you anything, right? Fu Linglong was just executed a while ago, and within two days, you Yi Zhonghai popped up again. What? Are you trying to go to heaven?"

Director Wang slammed the table as he spoke.

Yi Zhonghai knew that this matter could not be concealed, but he did not expect it to happen so soon. Now he could only lower his head and pretend to be a quail.

Director Wang was furious when he saw it.

"Yi Zhonghai, raise your head. You usually talk about morality, but you have lost it all? Don't think that everything will be fine just because the He brothers and sisters forgive you. Our street is famous now, with two heroes in one hospital, right? Although we haven't reported you to the police, the street office will still handle it."

Yi Zhonghai looked resigned to his fate and didn't care.

Director Wang looked at Yi Zhonghai and said.

"I will now announce the decision to punish Yi Zhonghai for embezzling He Yushui's living expenses. Yi Zhonghai's status as an uncle will be revoked, and he will be punished to clean the yard and the outside toilet for half a year. As for whether the punishment will be extended, it depends on Yi Zhonghai's performance. Yi Zhonghai, do you have any objection?"

Yi Zhonghai had just finished speaking, and he said timidly.

"Director Wang, I deserve this. I have no objection. I will seriously correct my mistakes. Please supervise me together."

Director Wang nodded. He was quite satisfied with Yi Zhonghai's performance, which showed that he did not make any excuses or make specious arguments.

"Okay, if you want to do something bad, don't take your chances. If I catch you, don't blame me for being ruthless. Do you hear me, Jia Zhang?"

Jia Zhang was startled when Director Wang called out her name.

"Director Wang, I haven't done anything bad. I've been very honest recently."

Director Wang snorted coldly.

"It's better not to do it. If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. And usually, just keep your mouth shut."

Jia Zhang thought about what she had said to Sha Zhu last night and in the morning. It seemed that Director Wang had heard it, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

"I understand, Director. I won't say anything nonsense."

Director Wang glanced at everyone again.

"I've kept it all in mind. Let's adjourn."

After the meeting, no one discussed Yi Zhonghai's matter. Director Wang had obviously come to warn him. It seemed that the reputation of the subdistrict office was ruined.
