After Sha Zhu pulled Lin Donglai towards the kitchen, he whispered to him, "Donglai, do you think I need the help of the factory director if I want to act realistically?"

"The factory manager pretended to announce my dismissal, and Sister Qin knew that I had lost my job, right?"

"Brother Zhuzi, if the factory director announces it, it will only be true, and you will really be out of work then."

Seeing that Sha Zhu still didn't understand, Lin Donglai simply told him clearly:

"Make a promise to the rest of the cafeteria that you won't be going to the window during this period of time. If anyone asks, just say you made a mistake. You could be fired at any time. You'll know the result soon."

At this time, Section Chief Su was hung up by the canteen director. Worried that something had happened, he hurried to the canteen from the purchasing department.

Seeing Lin Donglai talking to Sha Zhu, he stepped forward and asked, "Xiao Lin, what's going on?"

"Chief Su, it's no problem. I got all the fish back. Now it's time to take care of the canteen."

After hearing this, Section Chief Su breathed a sigh of relief, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good job, Xiaolin! It seems that my worries were unnecessary."

It was not until Section Chief Su walked away that Sha Zhu realized what was happening and said to Lin Dong with gratitude: "Dongli, I'll do as you say. I'll go talk to them right away."

At this moment, the people in the cafeteria have already brought all the fish into the kitchen, and are now busy killing the fish, scraping the scales, removing the internal organs, cutting them into pieces, etc. They are very busy.

The time is tight and the task is heavy, so the canteen director has to keep an eye on it, for fear that someone will be lazy and fail to serve the food on time.

Seeing that others were working, Sha Zhu was chatting with the people in the purchasing department, and he had an opinion in his mind: this was not the time to talk. But because Lin Donglai was there, he couldn't say anything.

After Lin Donglai left the cafeteria, everyone else was busy, but Shazhu was sitting on a chair doing nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.

Director Wang was annoyed: "He Yuzhu, everyone is so busy that they wish they had four hands, but you are taking a break. Why don't you hurry up and kill the fish?"

Sha Zhu then reluctantly walked over and said, "Director, if you want me to clean the fish, I will be too tired to cook later, so don't blame me."

"Okay, okay, then you just take a rest. The rest of you guys should hurry up and clean up quickly."

Sha Zhu sat down proudly again. The others who were busy had no objection, except the fat man who was assigned to serve the food today who turned around and gave him a blank look.

After a while, the canteen director's mouth was dry from talking and he went back to the office to drink water. Sha Zhu took this opportunity to explain to everyone what Lin Donglai had told him.

Of course, the few people waiting for their food at the window would not be missed. Although everyone was confused, they still nodded.

The fat man didn't know why Sha Zhu asked everyone to say that, he just thought viciously: If Qin Huairu came to ask him, he would just say that Sha Zhu had been fired to relieve his hatred.

For the next three days, Sha Zhu didn't bring any lunch box home, and he rarely went out early and came back late every day, which made him seem very mysterious.

He didn't talk to Qin Huairu anymore. He stayed at home when he returned to the yard. He cooked for Yu Shui with a long face and didn't say a word.

Lin Donglai had met him twice, and seeing that the boy was pretending to be like that, he ignored him and just laughed secretly: This silly Zhu is quite good at acting depressed.

These days, when Qin Huairu went to the window to get food, she paid special attention to whether Sha Zhu was there to get food, hoping that he would give her more food like he did before.

Unfortunately, it was other people who served the food every day. After a few days, she finally couldn't hold back any longer. After serving the food, she took the opportunity to pull Liu Lan aside and asked:

"I want to ask you something. Why haven't I seen Shazhu distributing food at the window recently? What happened?"

"Hey, you don't know yet, Shazhu made a mistake and may be fired from the factory at any time."

Liu Lan followed Sha Zhu's instructions and relayed Qin Huairu's original words, then said that the kitchen was busy and she couldn't say more and walked away.

Qin Huairu was left standing there thinking for a long time before she went back home with the lunch box.

In her mind, Sha Zhu has always been surrounded by the halo of the factory canteen chef. Once he lost this halo, it seemed that there was nothing good about Sha Zhu.

He looks old, is rude and has a bad temper. What's the use of him?

If, as Liu Lan said, Sha Zhu will be fired soon, there is no need to bother with him anymore.

To be on the safe side, Qin Huairu finally decided to wait and see. She was worried that Liu Lan was just speaking in anger, which would be a big loss for her.

When it was time to get lunch the next day, the window where Qin Huairu queued was the one where Fatty got his food. After giving him the meal ticket and lunch box, she asked Fatty why he didn't see Shazhu.

The boy had finally waited for this day, and immediately said with disdain: "He made a big mistake and was fired!"

The fat man's answer confirmed Liu Lan's words. After listening to him, Qin Huairu turned and walked out of the cafeteria and went towards the factory bulletin board.

When someone is fired, the factory will usually issue an announcement. Qin Huairu held her lunch box and read it carefully, but did not find any information about the firing.

There is no smoke without fire. To be on the safe side, she decided to ask a few more people.

In the next few days, Qin Huai would ask the person at the window about Sha Zhu's situation every time he got food. The answer he got was either that Sha Zhu had been fired or that he would be fired soon.

Since everyone's answers were all unfavorable to Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu finally came to a conclusion: Sha Zhu would be a person who would be of no help to her family.

After performing for several days, Sha Zhu felt that the time was right.

Early on Saturday morning, Qin Huairu was washing cabbage in the yard. Sha Zhu came up to her for the first time and said, "Morning, Sister Qin! Is your hypoglycemia problem not recurring?"

This was the question he wanted to ask the most, something he had been holding in his heart for days. As soon as he said this, Qin Huairu looked up at him but did not answer.

Sha Zhu had no choice but to wash up. When he saw that she hadn't finished washing the vegetables yet, he stepped forward and wanted to wash them: "Let me help you wash them, Sister Qin, you take a rest."

"Put down my things and don't move!" Qin Huairu seemed like a different person and shouted loudly, scaring Sha Zhu.

Then she quickly washed the vegetables, glanced at Sha Zhu, and walked back home with the dishes.

The change was so great that Shazhu was devastated. He couldn't imagine how the weak Sister Qin in his impression had become like this.

After thinking about it for a long time at home and still unable to figure it out, Sha Zhu walked towards the middle courtyard. Lin Donglai was oiling his bicycle in the courtyard. Seeing Sha Zhu's depressed face, he smiled:

"Brother Zhuzi, why do you look like you swallowed a fly so early in the morning?"

When Sha Zhu told the story, Lin Donglai told him: "This is her true face. If you don't believe me, try again."

Yan Bugui came out of the house, and after listening to half of the conversation, he stepped forward and joined in the fun with a smile: "What delicious food are you trying? Do you want Third Uncle to help you?"

As soon as these words came out, Sha Zhu, who was originally depressed, immediately didn't know whether to laugh or cry...
