He ignored Sha Zhu and went to the kitchen to get some water to wash his hands. Sha Zhu hadn't taken a shower in who knows how long, and his hands and arms felt greasy. Even though Hong Guan didn't have a mysophobia, he still felt a little disgusted.

When he came out of the kitchen, he saw He Yushui with tears in her eyes. Yi Zhonghai helped Sha Zhu up and checked his injuries.

When he saw Hong Guan coming out, he immediately asked, "Hong Guan, what are you doing? You are so harsh. We are all neighbors, why do you have to do that?"

Hong Guan sneered, "You are only in your early 14s, how come you are so confused? Do you know what happened? You come to blame me. Ask what Sha Zhu said and did, and then talk to me.

Also, look at He Yushui. When He Daqing ran to Baoding, he should have asked you to take care of her and Shazhu, but what happened? He Yushui has become so thin that she looks unrecognizable. You are really a competent uncle!"

Yi Zhonghai was furious. "Don't talk nonsense. When have I ever been mean to He Yushui? This child is still growing. Isn't it normal for him to be a little thin?"

"Uncle, I'll give you a chance. Take Shazhu away now. I won't say anything. But if you keep making trouble, let's find a place to talk it out. Let's go to the factory or the street office. If that doesn't work, the police station is fine. It's your choice!"

Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly, "I won't argue with you, a man who doesn't know manners. You hit him hard and injured the pillar. Just pay him two dollars and the matter will be over."

Hong Guan sneered, "Sha Zhu broke into my house without my permission and even hit me first. I was just acting in self-defense, and you want me to pay you money?

I can pay you back. Then you can call Xu Damao over. Shazhu has been beating him up all the time, and every time he hits his penis, it’s been at least eighty times, if not a hundred times. He’s also paid you back. Is that okay? "

Yi Zhonghai felt a lump in his throat. "You, you are just making trouble!"

"Haha, uncle, where do you get that from? I'm just following your instructions. There's no need to talk about right or wrong. Whoever wins will pay. What's the problem?"

"Hmph, I won't tell you anymore. You can do whatever you want."

Hong Guan looked at him with a fake smile, "Uncle, are you trying to intimidate the children of martyrs?"

Yi Zhonghai knew he couldn't win the argument with Hong Guan, so he stopped talking. He helped Sha Zhu up and walked outside. At the threshold, he tripped and almost threw Sha Zhu out, looking very embarrassed.

Seeing that the person had left, He Yushui walked up to Hong Guan and said, "Brother Guan, have I caused you any trouble? How about I go back and return you one dollar!"

Although he said that, he had no intention of leaving, let alone paying the money. Hong Guan sighed in his heart that children from poor families have to grow up early, and He Yushui is so scheming at such a young age.

"It's okay, don't worry about it. If Shazhu dares to touch you, just tell me and move to the next room. I'll take care of you!"

"Will it be too much trouble? I'm afraid it will affect you."

Hong Guan rubbed her hair, not caring about the smell of tea. "What's the trouble? If you really feel bad, when you grow up, you can be my wife."

He Yushui's face flushed. "Brother Guan, what are you talking about? I'm ignoring you."

After saying that, she ran into the kitchen. Hong Guan really didn't have any thoughts about her. He just said it casually just now. Why did he feel that this Cha sister took it seriously?

The steamed buns were soon ready and served along with the leftover egg sauce from yesterday. He gave two eggs to He Yushui, who picked up the steamed buns and started eating.

After taking a bite, I was a little speechless. This girl is a bit frugal and put too much corn flour. No wonder she could steam so many steamed buns!

The corn flour we use nowadays is actually maize flour. The machines used to grind it don’t have the technology of later generations, so it is ground very roughly. If you put too much of it in, it will be a bit irritating to the throat when you eat it.

"Yushui, you put too much corn flour. We are not short of money at home. When I start working, I can earn at least 20 to 30 yuan a month. There are only two of us, and we can't finish it. Next time, put more white flour and don't use more than 30% corn flour. Got it?"

"I understand, Brother Guan!"

After dinner, Hong Guan took out a lunch box, put the remaining egg sauce into it, put two steamed buns in it, peeled the remaining two eggs and put them in as well.

"Yushui, take these things with you. I won't be back at noon, so you can eat some at school. I'll bring you some good food in the evening. If Shazhu gives you trouble, tell me in the evening and I'll take care of him!"

He Yushui took the lunch box and held it in his arms, "Thank you, Brother Guan, I understand."

Seeing He Yushui's careful look, Hong Guan knew that she was not worried about the lunch box falling to the ground, but she hadn't felt cared for for a long time. Maybe she felt fatherly love from Hong Guan!

After He Yushui left, Hong Guan picked up a military green cross-body bag, put an aluminum lunch box in it, closed the door and left.

Looking at the Jia family, Qin Huairu was carrying Banggeng as she sent Jia Dongxu out. Banggeng was probably about two years old and was wearing open-crotch pants. He looked quite cute.

No one could have imagined that when he grew up, he would become an ungrateful little boy and the courtyard thief.

Everyone in the courtyard went to work one after another. Hong Guan followed the crowd and happened to see Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu. When they saw Hong Guan, they snorted coldly and left quickly.

Xu Damao and Liu Guangqi came over happily and said, "Hong Guan, what's going on? How did you offend both the eldest uncle and Sha Zhu? Sha Zhu is a scoundrel, be careful or he will beat you up!"

I took a look at Xu Damao. Although he was clearly saying words of concern, it made people feel that he was gloating over other people's misfortune. He was really unique.

"Want to hit me? Even a fool would have to be able to do that. I just taught him a lesson this morning. If he doesn't learn his lesson, I'll be there for him any time!"

Hearing that Sha Zhu had been dealt with, Xu Damao became excited, "Oh, is this true? With your small body, can you deal with Sha Zhu?"

"Haha, believe it or not, why don't you go and see for yourself, the scar on his neck should still be there!"

Hearing this, Xu Damao chased after him happily. Liu Guangqi didn't say anything and gave Hong Guan a thumbs up!

"Brother Guangqi, are you an apprentice in the factory now?"

"Yes, I just got in this year. I'm not good at studying, so I can only work as an apprentice blacksmith in the factory. My father wants me to follow in his footsteps!"

"That's great. This is a stable job. After two years, you will become a regular employee. Second Master will probably be a sixth or seventh level blacksmith and will be able to take care of you."

Liu Guangqi nodded without saying anything, his eyes were complicated. Hong Guan knew what he was thinking. Although Liu Haizhong doted on him very much, he also put a lot of pressure on him. The TV series said that he went to provide aid in construction, but in fact he just escaped.

The group walked quite fast and after half an hour they arrived at the steel rolling mill. Everyone was sweating, including Hong Guan. They all took out their work badges and went in, with Hong Guan falling behind.

Looking at the steel rolling mill, the people in the security department were all armed with live ammunition. Every few walls, you could see bunkers with machine gun muzzles sticking out. The most exaggerated thing was that you could see two mountain cannons. It was really exaggerated!

Seeing Hong Guan coming over, a person from the security department came over. The man behind him had his hand on the holster, ready to draw his gun at any time.

"Comrade, are you looking for someone?"

Hong Guan took out his letter of introduction and handed it over. "Hello, I am Hong Guan, the son of Hong Weiguo. I am here to report to the factory. This is my letter of introduction!"

The security officer took the letter of introduction, checked it, and immediately saluted Hong Guan. "So you are Brother Weiguo's son. My name is Ma Shengli. I held you in my arms when you were a child. I didn't expect you to grow up so big. Why are you assigned to the medical department?"

"Hello, Uncle Shengli. I've heard my father mention you. I majored in medicine, so I'm not qualified to work in a hospital. But working in the medical department is a good match for my major."

"Okay, good boy, come in, we'll talk later!"

I walked into the steel rolling mill and looked around. The area covered by the wall was very large. In fact, many places were wasteland. There were not many workshops, and I estimated that there were only two to three thousand people, not even close to the large factories of later generations with tens of thousands of people.

In some places, the ground has already been broken and some people are working, causing the dust to fly. Everyone is sweating profusely but with sincere smiles on their faces.

During this period, everyone was striving for a better future, unlike in later generations, when people would start to do all kinds of weird things after their material needs were met.

Walk forward and enter the most conspicuous building, a five-story building. The administrative positions of the steel rolling mill are all in this building.

I found the Personnel Department on the third floor and knocked on the door. "Hello, I'm here to report. Who are you looking for?"

"Let me see your letter of introduction!" A woman in her thirties stood up and walked to Hong Guan.

After taking the letter of introduction, he glanced at it and asked, "Are you Sister Zhao's son?"

Hong Guan nodded, "It's me!"

"Hey, Sister Zhao is a good person. Please accept my condolences. Come with me and I will help you get the job."

Soon, all aspects of the file were compiled. Hong Guan took the employment notice and looked at the salary listed on it. It was the 14th-level salary for technical workers, which was equivalent to the internship salary for college students. It was quite decent.

If converted into the concept of Yi Zhonghai and others, it would be a fifth-level worker, and including the monthly subsidy, it would be more than 50 yuan.

"Everything is done. I'll take you to the medical department!"

"No need, Sister Zhang. Just tell me which floor it is and I can go there myself."

Sister Zhang gave Hong Guan a strange look and said, "Don't you know? The Medical Department is not in the office building, it's next to the Security Department. I'll take you there!"

After leaving the office building, I walked west until I reached the wall, where I saw a row of brick houses. One of the houses had a red cross painted on a white background.

Taking Hong Guan in, the room was quite big, but there were not many people. A man in a white coat, about forty years old, saw that it was Sister Zhang who brought people in, and hurried over to greet them.

"Xiao Zhang, what brings you here? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Sister Zhang smiled cheerfully, "Even if I'm not feeling well, I wouldn't dare to trouble you, Section Chief Wang. I'm sending someone to you. This is Hong Guan, the son of Hong Weiguo from the Security Section and Sister Zhao from the Finance Section. He's been assigned to your place, so you must take good care of him in the future!"

"Oh, of course I will. Director Li came to say hello yesterday. I will definitely take good care of him!"

"That's fine. The Personnel Department still has things to do. I'll be leaving first. You guys go ahead and get busy!"

"I'm about the same age as your father, so I'll call you Xiaoguan. Let me introduce myself to you. My last name is Wang, and I'm the head of the medical department. I'm also a doctor on duty.

These two are nurses. The older one is surnamed Liu, so you can call her Sister Liu. The younger one next to her is surnamed Zhou, so you can call her Sister Zhou.

The deputy section chief's surname is Li. He took two other nurses, Xiao Qian and Xiao Sun, to go fishing in the ditch behind the factory. Our medical department is usually very idle, so after the roll call, half of the people will go fishing in the back to get some meat and fish for a snack! "

"Thank you, Chief Wang. I understand."

"Don't be so polite. I know your father and we have a pretty good relationship. Just call me Uncle Wang."

"Thank you, Uncle Wang!"

"Haha, come with me, I'll introduce you to some medicines. Our medical department doesn't have much work to do. Usually, there are very few people who come for infusions. Most of them come for painkillers because of physical problems.

If they encounter a disease that cannot be cured, don’t worry, just let them go to Red Star Hospital, which is the designated hospital of our factory. As long as it is a work-related injury, it will be reimbursed. "

Hong Guan listened and nodded, laughing in his heart, thinking that he had come to the right place. Such a good nursing home would be hard to find even with a lantern!

Wang Ke spoke for about ten minutes before stopping, which gave Hong Guan a basic understanding of the Medical Department. Seeing Wang Ke finish drinking the water, Hong Guan tactfully picked up the thermos and poured water on it.

When he returned to his workstation, he didn't know what to do, but two nurses gathered around him and started gossiping. Hong Guan listened for a while and felt that it was like listening to a crosstalk, which was quite interesting.

By noon, the three people who were fishing had not returned, which made Hong Guan wonder if this was serious fishing.

Walking to the canteen together, Hong Guan heard a piece of news on the way, which made him smile. The unruly apprentice in the canteen, who usually looked so arrogant, bullied his neighbor today and was beaten by the neighbor. It was said that his balls were kicked to pieces and he became a family without a family!

Shit, when did I sneak attack Shazhu’s descendants? What the hell is going on!

After thinking for a while, I realized that this was most likely a rumor spread by Xu Damao's grandson. He had been attacked by Sha Zhu with a crotch kick, so the rumors were all about the lower three directions.

Before I even reached the cafeteria, I heard another version of the story. Sha Zhu was fighting with someone and was defeated by a man who practiced monkey boxing. A monkey was stealing peaches and he couldn't defend himself, so the monkey picked the peaches.

What the hell is this martial arts competition? But there are indeed people practicing martial arts now. Under the overpass, there are many Eight Banners descendants and so on who are idle all day and wrestle with them.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, many people were already queuing. Hong Guan and the people from the medical department found a shorter queue and chatted while queuing.

Sha Zhu was in the cafeteria. When he saw Hong Guan coming in to line up, he took the initiative to switch seats with an older sister, ready to teach Hong Guan a lesson.

Soon, the four people from the medical department arrived. Wang Ke finished serving the dishes first. There was nothing good in it. You could see some oil, but only a little. The steamed buns were all made of two-grain flour. From the color, you could tell that a lot of corn flour was used.

When I arrived at Hongguan, I looked up and saw, wow, isn’t this Shazhu?

"Give me a steamed bun and two servings of vegetables!"

Sha Zhu looked at Hong Guan, chuckled, picked up a small steamed bun, scraped the bottom with a big spoon, and then shivered as if he had Parkinson's disease, and soon only soup was left in the spoon, which he poured into Hong Guan's lunch box.

The same thing happened with the second spoon. This is just a personal vendetta. It's a pity that you chose the wrong person.

Hong Guan didn't argue with Sha Zhu. He took his lunch box to another window and said to the lady serving the food, "Ask your canteen director or the team leader in charge of the kitchen to come here. I want to ask, was it taught by the canteen staff that an apprentice openly shook the spoon in front of his fellow workers?"

When Sha Zhu heard Hong Guan complain, he threw the spoon into the basin and came over. "What? Complain, huh?"

Hong Guan sneered, "This is not called complaining, this is called seeking justice. What else can I do? Pull you out and beat you up? Now you don't have your sister to plead for you! I'm afraid I'll beat you to death if I don't show any mercy!"

Sha Zhu was immediately unhappy, took off his sleeves and threw them on the table. "Hey, I have a bad temper. I wasn't paying attention this morning. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

Just as he was about to jump out and take action, a voice came from behind him, "Silly Zhu, what are you doing?"

Everyone in the kitchen turned around and respectfully called out "Master Zhang". Hong Guan narrowed his eyes. This was going to be interesting.
