"Director Fu, right?" Si Lu, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke up at this moment. "This matter was caused by problems within your organization from the beginning to the end. It was your negligence in your work that caused the loss of the masses."

"Yes, yes." Fu Jinqiu didn't know why, but the young man in front of him gave him a lot of pressure and made him feel uneasy.

Obviously he had planned everything very well and it seemed flawless, but the other party did not lose his mind because of anger, nor did he stand on the same front with him. Instead, he inexplicably pushed him out even though they were supposed to be in cahoots with him, and drew a clear line between the two sides.

This person is not simple. Perhaps he was wrong from the beginning and chose the wrong person.

"Director Fu, according to the regulations, we paid the deposit, but now the green bicycle is gone. How are you going to solve the problem?"

"Uh, this..."

"You have two choices. Either refund the money and apologize to my wife. Or, deliver the goods quickly and give us a brand new green bicycle." Lawyer Si said, "Of course, we don't care about the specific whereabouts of the previous bicycle. That is your business."

"Yes, yes, yes." Fu Jinqiu finally smelled a hint of the aura of a superior from Si Lu. He immediately changed his mind and this time, handed over the initiative.

"You two, this is a negligence on our part. We must apologize. First of all, on behalf of the department store, I express my most sincere apologies to you. Secondly, Cai Dayu, please come here."

Cai Dayu's face looked extremely ugly, but as a higher-ranking official, she could overpower others, so she dared not disobey Fu Jinqiu's words.

"Apologize."

Cai Dayu was filled with anger, but she didn't dare to act rashly at this moment. She could only say sorry with a gloomy face.

Before Jiang Yan could get angry, Fu Jinqiu was unhappy. "I asked you to apologize, but what's your attitude? You insulted customers and damaged the image of the department store. I think you don't want to do this anymore."

Since it was about work, Cai Dayu didn't dare to say anything else and quickly bowed to Jiang Yan, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have insulted the customer. I will reflect on it."

"Yes, self-criticism." Fu Jinqiu said immediately: "In a moment, you will write a self-criticism of 1,000 words and hand it in to me. In addition, you will not get your bonus this month."

Cai Dayu didn't dare to say anything, but the anger in his heart seemed to be about to burst out at any time. If a person is unlucky, even drinking cold water will make his teeth ache.

"Gentlemen, regarding the bicycle, do you want a refund or wait for your own bicycle?"

By this time, Jiang Yan had a very bad impression of the department store. "Refund it, we have no expectations for this bicycle anymore."

Fu Jinqiu personally processed the refund for them without saying a word.

Fu Jinqiu was a man of integrity. He kept apologizing to the two men. "I'm really sorry, comrades. If you need anything in the future, please come to the department store and I will serve you personally."

Jiang Yan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. The two of them took the money and left the department store. They thought the matter was over, but who could have thought that there would be a follow-up!

"Yanyan, I'm sorry. I wanted to give you a gift, but it turned out like this!"

"What's the big deal? It's not your fault. Don't put all the blame on yourself." Jiang Yan is an emotionally stable person and would not be unhappy because of such a small matter.

It's just a bicycle, it's not like she doesn't have one.

"We are going to your uncle's house tomorrow. We can't go empty-handed. How about we go to the military service center to buy some things?"

"Are there any etiquettes for returning to one's parents' home?" This was the first time Jiang Yan had heard of it, and she couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Si Lu's lips curled up slightly, he was in a really good mood. He felt extremely happy every minute with Jiang Yan!

"There's no hard and fast rule, but! Since it's close, I'd better go back and take a look. After all, their generation attaches great importance to this."

"Okay!"

The couple went directly to the military cooperative, picked out some gifts and returned to the compound!

After a day's stroll, Jiang Yan was already tired. He went home, washed his face, lay down on the single bed and fell asleep.

Si Lu quietly put away his things, washed his hands and kneaded the dough, preparing to make some hand-rolled noodles.

Si Lu's hands are big and strong. The dough is very obedient in his hands and becomes very smooth in a short while.

While the dough was resting, Si Lu cut a piece of bacon given by his comrades, chopped it into cubes, and prepared to make bacon stew.

He took a rolling pin and rolled the dough into a large round cake, sprinkled it with flour, folded it repeatedly, and cut it into even narrow strips one by one.

Si Lu was used to doing these things, and the work in the kitchen was not challenging at all for him. After a while, the aroma of bacon and marinated meat filled the courtyard.

"It smells so good, mom, whose family is stewing meat?" Captain Pi's daughter Pi Xiaolan sniffed, her face full of desire for meat.

Li Yanqiu felt distressed when she saw her daughter secretly swallowing her saliva, but the family was poor and the children had few opportunities to eat meat.

"Xiao Lan, be good. Let's not learn from them. They eat meat all the time, live a luxurious life, and act like capitalists! We should live a simple and frugal life."

What does a six or seven-year-old child know? Of course she is greedy because she has no food in her stomach.

"Mom, I want to eat meat."

Li Yanqiu's face suddenly darkened, as if Pi Xiaolan had done something unforgivable.

"Pi Xiaolan, why are you so greedy? Will you die if you don't eat meat? Don't say that we don't have meat at home. Even if we did, I wouldn't give you any. If you just think about eating good food and enjoying life all day, who will work?"

"I'm telling you, if we have meat at home, it's for dad and brother to eat! We women have to endure hardships, work more, and eat less, do you hear me?"

Pi Xiaolan was so frightened that she dared not speak, but she felt so wronged! Why couldn't she eat meat? Why did she have to suffer?

But she had to swallow all these grievances. When her father was not at home, no one would listen to her.

Pi Xiaolan choked up and tried to please Li Yanqiu, "Mom, don't be angry, I won't eat meat anymore."

Li Yanqiu sneered, "You want to eat, but are you so lucky? How much money do other men earn? How much does your father earn? Other men do all kinds of work, are you worthy of them? You are not worthy."

Pi Xiaolan was only six or seven years old and couldn’t understand Li Yanqiu’s sarcasm at all. All she could understand was one sentence: You don’t deserve it!

At this time, in the courtyard next door, Jiang Yan also woke up.

"It smells so good, what did you cook?"

Si Lu handed her a wet towel and said, "Wipe your face. I made some noodles with gravy."

Jiang Yan quickly got up and wiped her face and hands. Her stomach had been protesting for a long time, and now it was growling even more when it smelled the aroma of food.

The noodles are chewy and smooth, the bacon is shiny and oily, and the taste is amazing with a lingering fragrance.
