Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

Chapter 53 Canteen Reform

I was secretly glad, but at the same time I felt a little nervous.

After all, inviting Teacher Ran to our home is not just about simply reminiscing about the past.

Teacher Ran sat on the sofa, looking a little uneasy.

Chen Fei poured her a cup of hot tea, trying to ease her tension.

"Teacher Ran, I actually have something I want to discuss with you." Chen Fei finally spoke, his tone revealing a bit of seriousness.

"what's up?"

“I want to support the school library and buy some new books and materials.”

"Really? That's great! The books in the library are indeed a bit old. If we can get new books and materials, it will be of great help to the students' studies."

"Uncle San has always had some misunderstandings about me, thinking that I am a person who is not doing his job properly. I hope that through this incident, I can prove my sincerity and determination."

"Don't worry about what Uncle San thinks. He's just a show-off who likes to show off his importance in front of others. In fact, he's not a bad person at heart."

He knew that Teacher Ran was trying to excuse him and resolve the conflict between him and the third uncle.

However, at this moment, the voice of the third uncle suddenly came from outside the door: "What are you doing in there? Why don't you come out for so long?"

The third uncle's curiosity has been aroused, and if it is not dealt with, bad things may happen.

So, Fade Chen quickly stood up, walked to the door, and opened a crack.

"Uncle, Teacher Ran and I are talking about something important, please don't disturb us."

There was a sense of calmness and confidence in his words, as if he was playing a psychological game with the third uncle.

If you want to convince the third uncle, you must remain calm and rational.

Teacher Ran was observing silently from the side. She was surprised at Chen Fei's ability to respond.

Under his protection, she felt an unprecedented sense of security.

Turning back to the sofa, Fade Chen gently patted Teacher Ran on the shoulder, signaling her not to be nervous.

"You have a strict family education and are reserved about interacting with the opposite sex." Chen Fei said softly, "But I want to tell you that my respect and concern for you are from the bottom of my heart. I hope we can become true friends and contribute to the school and students together."

Teacher Ran listened to his words and was secretly happy.

She never thought that in this era full of misunderstanding and prejudice, she would meet someone who treated her so sincerely.

Seeing that Teacher Ran's mood had eased, Chen Fei decided to tell her a story to relax her.

After some thought, I decided to adapt a classic story.

"Have you heard the story of the little white rabbit and the big bad wolf?" Chen Fei began to tell the story.

Teacher Ran was a little nervous at first, but after listening to the interesting story told by Chen Fei, she gradually relaxed her guard.

However, as the story progresses, she discovers that this is not a simple fairy tale.

In the story, the little white rabbit and the big bad wolf battle wits and courage, and the plot is gripping.

Teacher Ran couldn't help but be attracted by Chen Fei's story and completely forgot everything around him.

At the climax of the story, Fade Chen suddenly stopped, looked at Teacher Ran's nervous expression, and couldn't help laughing.

"Are you scared by me?" Chen Fei asked.

Teacher Ran came back to his senses and looked at Fade Chen's playful expression, and couldn't help but laugh too.

Standing at the door, the third uncle put his ear close to the crack of the door, trying to eavesdrop on the conversation inside.

Originally, he was jealous of the time that Chen Fei and Teacher Ran were spending alone together and wanted to interrupt their conversation.

However, as he gradually understood Chen Fei's words and Teacher Ran's response, his mentality changed.

He was surprised to find that the conversation between the two young men was not as frivolous and boring as he had imagined.

Instead, they were discussing how to contribute to the school and its students, and he was pleased by this mature and responsible attitude.

He began to reflect on his conservatism and prejudice when he was young, realizing that times have changed and that young people's thoughts and behaviors are also changing.

During this process, Teacher Ran came out of the room with a newly embroidered towel with mandarin ducks in her hand, and handed it to Chen Fei with a smile.

"This is the new towel I embroidered for you. I hope you like it," she said.

Chen Fei took the towel and was pleasantly surprised to find that the embroidery on this towel was much more delicate than the "big goose" towel that was criticized by the third uncle.

"Teacher Ran, your embroidery skills have improved so much! This towel is so beautiful, I like it very much."

Upon hearing this, Teacher Ran showed a bright smile on her face. This towel not only represented her efforts and progress, but also symbolized the easing and warming of the relationship between her and Chen Fei.

When the third uncle saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh that the world of young people is full of infinite possibilities and surprises.

I decided not to interfere in their relationship, but to face the changes of the times with a more open and understanding attitude.

As time went by, the relationship between Chen Fei and Teacher Ran became closer and closer.

Together, they purchased new books and materials for the school library and contributed to the students' learning and lives.

At the same time, Sha Zhu's life was in trouble.

The new regulations set by Chen Fei affected his interests and his life pressure suddenly increased.

He began to drink to drown his sorrows, trying to forget the difficulties of reality while drunk.

However, alcohol could not solve the fundamental problem, but instead made him fall into deeper confusion and pain.

One day, a shocking incident occurred in the factory.

A razor blade was found in the worker’s lunch!

The news quickly spread throughout the factory, and the workers fell into panic and anger.

They suspected that someone had done this deliberately in an attempt to destroy the harmonious atmosphere of the factory.

After hearing the news, Chen Fei quickly rushed to the scene, knowing that there must be complex reasons and motives behind this incident.

During the investigation, Chen Fei discovered that Sha Zhu was inextricably linked to this incident.

It turned out that Sha Zhu was dissatisfied with the huge pressure in life and tried to vent his emotions in this way.

However, he did not realize that this behavior would bring such serious consequences to the factory.

Faced with Sha Zhu's stupid behavior, Chen Fei fell into deep thought.

Sha Zhu is not the real culprit, but a victim of the pressure of reality.

It was decided to give Sha Zhu a chance to reform, and at the same time, the workers must rebuild their trust in the factory.

In the turbulent times, the factory bells are like the drumbeats of history, stirring the hearts of every worker.

Chen Fei stood in the middle of the chaotic cafeteria, his eyes sharp as torches, examining the group of angry and out-of-control workers in front of him.

Their dissatisfaction was like a blazing flame, and Chen Fei was the warrior who tried to put out the flame.

Sha Zhu was trembling beside him, his face full of fear and regret.

I originally just wanted to vent my dissatisfaction, but I didn't expect it would lead to such serious consequences.

Looking at those angry faces, Sha Zhu's heart was filled with despair.

The situation at this moment is beyond Chen Fei's control.

Decisions must be made to calm this storm.

He turned and looked at the factory director, his eyes firm and decisive.

"Director, I think we need to solve the problem fundamentally." Chen Fei's voice echoed in the chaotic cafeteria. "The workers' dissatisfaction has not accumulated in a day or two. We need to re-examine our management system and understand their real needs."

The factory manager looked at Chen Fei with great admiration.

His calmness and rationality are exactly what the factory needs at this moment.

He nodded and motioned for Chen Fei to continue.

"I suggest that we set up a committee with workers' representatives to jointly discuss solutions," Chen Fei continued. "At the same time, we need to conduct a comprehensive inspection and rectification of the cafeteria to ensure that similar incidents do not happen again."
