Lin Donglai understood how difficult it was for him, and quickly took out six yuan from the money in his hand and handed it to him: "Brother Jie Cheng, thank you for your hard work today."

Yan Jiecheng took the money and counted it, his face almost smiling like a flower: "It's not hard, Donglai, next time there is such a good opportunity to make money, you must think of me."

Lin Donglai just smiled at Yan Jiecheng's proposal, neither agreeing nor rejecting it. No one could guarantee what would happen in the future, so it was better to just focus on the present.

As the bell rang, the factory was soon filled with workers carrying bags and lunch boxes as they left work. The sound of footsteps came one after another, and they all walked towards the factory gate.

No matter how good the treatment is at a steel rolling mill, the workers are only provided with one meal at noon. The dishes they eat at this time have little oil, and they are basically hungry when they get off work, so as soon as the bell rings, they all rush home to cook and eat.

Of course there are exceptions. Liu Haizhong, the second uncle in the yard, is a special case. Every day he basically waits until all the workers in the workshop have left before slowly packing up and going home.

There are two reasons why he can kill two birds with one stone by doing this. First, leaving late can give his boss a good impression that he works overtime every day, which will help him in his year-end evaluation. Second, if he goes home too early, he might have to help his wife who is cooking, so it is better to wait until the meal is ready before going home.

The fish was handed over to the canteen, and the rest was the canteen's business.

After hearing the bell for the end of get off work, Lin Donglai called Yan Jiecheng to leave the factory together. The two walked out of the backyard, passed the cafeteria, and headed towards the entrance of the steel rolling mill.

On the other side, Director Wang of the cafeteria was looking at the fish in the basket and arranging the work in a loud voice:

"Listen up, everyone in the cafeteria. No one is allowed to leave work until these fish are cleaned up today, otherwise your bonus for this month will be deducted." After saying that, he looked at Sha Zhu meaningfully.

Sha Zhu couldn't sit still after hearing this and jumped up from his chair: "Don't worry, Director. There are so many fish to kill, scale, gut, cut into pieces and slices. There are only a few of us working today. How long will it take?"

Director Wang had long disliked Sha Zhu, and seeing that he was about to run into trouble, he was not polite at all:

"He Yuzhu, if you are worried about wasting time, you can leave first, but I have to tell you in advance that if you leave, you will not get this month's bonus. I will apply to the factory to distribute your bonus to the workers who work overtime."

"Mr. Wang, can you please be reasonable? It would be fine if you said you wanted to do it during working hours, but you brought a bunch of fish to us right before we get off work. Isn't this clearly embarrassing? Don't you agree?"

Sha Zhu thought that his words would resonate with people and that someone would stand up and speak for him. However, he did not expect that after he finished speaking, the entire kitchen fell silent and no one said a word.

After a while, only Ma Hua came forward and tugged at the hem of his clothes, and said in a low voice with an embarrassed look on his face: "Master, please don't argue with the director. Let's work quickly and go home early after finishing the work."

Director Wang was glaring at Sha Zhu angrily at this time. Ever since he became the canteen director, Sha Zhu had been relying on his good cooking skills to oppose him everywhere and from time to time he also instigated other people in the canteen to join his camp.

I have to take this opportunity to teach him a lesson today: "He Yuzhu, it's great that we can purchase so many fish now. Let alone deliver them before getting off work, even if they are delivered in the middle of the night, we have to deal with them."

"I still say the same thing. Anyone who fails to handle the fish well today will go home early and forget about collecting the bonus this month."

Sha Zhu was irritated, and his temper suddenly came up. He took off his sleeves and apron and threw them on the table fiercely: "I won't do it. It's just five dollars. I, your grandfather, can afford it."

After saying that, he picked up his bag and lunch box and strode towards the cafeteria entrance. Ma Hua and the others saw that something was wrong, so they all didn't dare to say a word and started to get busy.

Sha Zhu was furious all the way, and perhaps he turned his anger into strength, so he walked exceptionally fast and soon caught up with Lin Donglai and Yan Jiecheng.

If he didn't know what it was when Lin Donglai asked him to help find someone to unload the goods in the cafeteria kitchen, then the fishing rods in the hands of these two people now said it all.

It was obvious that those fish were caught by these two people, and then Lin Donglai delivered them to the canteen in the name of purchasing. These two people really chose to deliver the fish to the canteen when it was almost time to get off work. What a rip-off.

Thinking of this, Sha Zhu just walked with a gloomy face, ignoring Lin Donglai and Yan Jiecheng.

Lin Dong saw that Sha Zhu looked unhappy and guessed that he had run into a snag with the canteen director, so he didn't take the initiative to talk to him.

However, Yan Jiecheng saw Sha Zhu walking to the side and asked with bared teeth, "Sha Zhu, why did you leave work? Your director just said that if you leave work early, you won't get any bonus this month."

This made Sha Zhu unable to hold back. He glared at me and angrily said, "Get lost! Yan Jiecheng, what's your business? How can an unemployed young man like you care about the affairs of the working class?"

"Silly Zhu, look at what you said. I don't care about you, so why don't you appreciate my kindness?" Yan Jiecheng was startled and immediately retracted his bared teeth.

"No need for that. You should take care of your own family affairs first." Sha Zhu threw down this sentence and said nothing else. He just walked home in silence.

The three of them walked together for a while, and Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but speak, and whispered to Lin Donglai beside him: "Donlai, don't let anyone in the courtyard know that I sold fish today, otherwise my money will be at risk."

Lin Donglai was not a person who liked to spread rumors. Besides, it was not a bad thing for him to keep the matter secret. He might need to ask Yan Jiecheng for help in the future, so of course he agreed immediately.

Yan Jiecheng saw that Sha Zhu's expression had eased somewhat, but he still didn't dare to provoke him. As he got closer and closer to the courtyard, he finally couldn't help but speak:

"Zhu Zi, I beg you to do me a favor. Please keep the fact that I sold the fish I caught to the steel mill a secret for you today a secret, okay?"

After walking for a while, Sha Zhu actually figured it out. Today's incident was not actually the fault of Lin Donglai and Yan Jiecheng. It was just as the director said, there were so many fish that other units couldn't buy them even if they wanted to.

I only blame myself for being too impulsive. I said things I shouldn't have said in a heat of the moment. Now, I've lost five dollars this month. It's a huge loss.

Seeing Yan Jiecheng taking the initiative to give way, he was not so generous: "Okay, Yan Jiecheng, am I the talkative person? Don't worry, I will never let your parents know."

After thinking for a while, he turned to Lin Dong and said, "Dongla, Brother Zhuzi also wants to ask you for a favor."

Lin Donglai was a little surprised. Sha Zhu's expression changed so quickly that he was a little uncomfortable. However, he still smiled and replied, "Brother Zhu, please talk first."

"Can you please not buy fish from the factory in the future? You know how difficult it is to clean fish. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I'd rather slaughter a pig like I did last time than clean up that pile of fish today."

Lin Donglai was even more surprised by Sha Zhu's words. He didn't expect him to make such a request. What the hell was going on...
