Chapter 72 The Jia Family is in Trouble

Jia Dongxu's eyes were red and his pillow was covered with his own vomit. What was even worse was that the stench of feces and urine filled every corner of the room.

After the bad luck talisman lost its effect, Jia Zhang also stopped. Her entire lower body was soaked in her own excrement, which flowed out from her trouser legs. Jia Zhang collapsed due to excessive diarrhea and fell into a coma.

During this time, Bang Geng returned home, but was quickly driven away by the smell inside.

"Banggeng, go and call the uncle and ask him to come over." Jia Dongxu didn't know that Yi Zhonghai was left in the hospital by his mother Jia Zhang to take care of Qin Huairu and his daughter, and was not at home at all.

"Awesome!"

"Awesome?"

"Where did you go, you damned little beast?"

No matter how Jia Dongxu shouted, he never got a response from Banggeng, which made Jia Dongxu a little angry and a little impatient.

As for Bang Geng, he was hiding in the cellar at the moment. He didn't care about the cold and dampness down there. He wrapped himself tightly in his clothes and went to sleep with his head covered.

The next morning, although there was still a strange smell outside the kitchen, Zhang Yuan could still accept it. After a day or two, the smell was almost gone.

However, just as Zhang Yuan walked out of the courtyard, he ran into Yi Zhonghai head-on.

"Morning, uncle!"

"Ok!"

Zhang Yuan didn't have any good feelings towards Yi Zhonghai, but he still had to be polite to him.

The same goes for Yi Zhonghai. He nodded in response to Zhang Yuan's greeting. He hadn't slept all night and felt sleepy and tired. Today, he asked Liu Haizhong to help him ask for a day off from the factory so that he could go home and have a good sleep.

However, Yi Zhonghai's wish could not be fulfilled. As soon as he returned to the middle courtyard, he was smelled by a foul odor, and the smell was inside the middle courtyard. Yi Zhonghai suppressed his nausea and followed the smell. Finally, he found that it came from the Jia family.

Yi Zhonghai pushed the door open and walked in. He was stunned. The strong smell almost suffocated him. His eyes were so stinging that he couldn't even breathe. He had no choice but to leave the room quickly.

Zhang Yuan walked into the steel rolling mill and went straight to his post. In the past, when people like Sha Zhu were chefs, they would usually arrive at the company around 11 o'clock in the morning. But Zhang Yuan was different. He did not try to make any special arrangements and went to work on time like other employees in the cafeteria.

As soon as he entered the cafeteria, the fat man hurriedly and attentively handed Zhang Yuan water and a hot towel.

"Master, you are here. Have you had breakfast?"

"Not yet, go and get some for me."

After Zhang Yuan wiped his face, he took out the meal ticket from his pocket and handed it to the fat man.

"Okay."

After taking the meal ticket, the fat man diligently prepared two white flour buns, a portion of pickles and a portion of corn porridge for Zhang Yuan.

At first, everyone was very puzzled about Zhang Yuan handing in his meal ticket, but Zhang Yuan said that he would not take advantage of the public and would do everything according to the rules, which made everyone admire him. Also because of Zhang Yuan's leading role, the atmosphere in the cafeteria has improved a little. Yes, it is better. At least the phenomenon of flipping the spoon and eating for free without a meal ticket has been put to an end. However, there are still some problems that have not been corrected.

"Master, your breakfast."

"Okay, you're welcome."

Zhang Yuan sat at an empty desk and ate breakfast, surrounded by the sounds of work.

"Whose turn is it to cook today?"

"it's me."

"it's me."

"Oh, Master Yang, what big pot dish are you making today?"

Master Yang became the canteen monitor after Zhang Yuan. Despite this, Zhang Yuan usually liked to stay in the third canteen, so Zhang Yuan was still the person in charge.

Chef Yang is 48 years old this year. He used to be self-taught. Since receiving guidance from Zhang Yuan, his cooking skills have greatly improved. This year he plans to take the exam to become a level 8 chef.

"The ingredients I got from the warehouse today include white radish, cabbage, and tomatoes. Oh, and eggs. I plan to make boiled radish, spicy cabbage, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes."

"Well, are there any reception tasks today?"

“I haven’t received any notification yet.”

"Okay, I'll go to other cafeterias."

Seeing that everything was going according to plan, Zhang Yuan planned to go to other canteens to check.

The second and fourth canteens are fine, but there is a problem with the first canteen.

The first canteen was built relatively early, and much of its interior decoration was in damage. In addition, there were very few tables and chairs available for dining. There were also the first and second workshops nearby, so there were many workers serving meals. As a result, the cooks in the first canteen were often overwhelmed and received the most complaints.

Director Ma has also conducted many communications to improve the problems complained by workers, but the problems still exist. In September this year, Chef Lu, the head chef of the first canteen, submitted his retirement report, and the skills of the successor chef are not even two-thirds as good as Chef Lu's. There is no problem with the big pot dishes, but they are not presentable for entertaining, so the problems will only increase, not decrease.

Zhang Yuan found Director Ma and planned to close the first canteen. The old canteen had a history of more than 30 years. It had been bombed before and was later rebuilt. It was renovated repeatedly in the years that followed. Now the walls are falling off and the roof leaks when it rains, so it is suggested to tear it down and rebuild it. By then, the new canteen will be able to accommodate thousands of people at the same time, thus solving the problem of eating for the workers in the first and second workshops.

Director Ma thought more than Zhang Yuan. He certainly hoped to resolve the conflict, but he raised the question of how to deal with the meals of the workers in the two workshops if the first canteen was demolished. Therefore, Zhang Yuan proposed to choose another site. At present, the first canteen will be temporarily retained and will be demolished after the new canteen is put into use.

This time, Director Ma had no objection and asked Zhang Yuan to go with him to discuss with Li Huaide. Director Ma was afraid that Li Huaide would not agree, so he brought Zhang Yuan along in the hope that Li Huaide would approve their proposal for Zhang Yuan's sake. Director Ma was indeed overthinking it. After Li Huaide's revision, the plan was basically finalized and was waiting for discussion and approval by the Party Committee.

In the afternoon, after Zhang Yuan finished his work for the day, he told Fatty to clean up and then go home.

When he returned to the yard, the peaceful time immediately disappeared and the yard became as noisy as a vegetable market.

"Uncle, why is it so lively again today?"

"Don't mention it, it's the Jia family again."

"What happened to the Jia family?"

"Last night, Jia Zhang was sick and had diarrhea all night. She was sent to the hospital for an IV drip. When she came back, I didn't expect that she brought Qin Huairu, who had just given birth, back to the hospital."

"It's just a small matter, there's no need to quarrel like this."

"It's not over yet. Jia Zhang said that Qin Huairu had already given birth and should go back to work. She showed no sympathy for her daughter-in-law who had just gotten out of the hospital bed. So Auntie couldn't stand it and started arguing with Jia Zhang."

"So that's how it is, haha."

"You're still laughing, be careful that Lao Yi will cause trouble for you again."

"Humph, I'll be afraid of him."

"I won't talk to you anymore. By the way, remember to go to the meeting at the Intermediate Court tonight. It's about mediating the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jia family."

"What's going on? When did the courtyard meeting become the Jia family meeting?"
