Siheyuan: Father Yi Zhonghai and Sister-in-law Lou Xiaoe

"Zhong Hai, when you come back this afternoon, buy two pounds of meat and come to my backyard to eat together. Let Zhuzi cook it."

"Zhu Zi just came back. He suffered a lot in there. I think he has lost weight."

When the deaf old lady saw that Yi Bufan, Xu Damao and others had left, she stopped making a fuss and walked out of Sha Zhu's house and towards Yi Zhonghai's house.

"Oh, old lady, what a pity. I'm afraid it won't work these days. I'm busy here. A new batch of machines came from the Russians. I've been training them on how to operate them. I'm inspecting the results these days. If possible, I'll start letting the workers operate them. I can't get away. It's too late to buy them after get off work."

Yi Zhonghai refused without even thinking about it.

The deaf old lady looked incredulous.

This is probably the first time in all these years.

In the past, as long as the deaf old lady had any request, Yi Zhonghai would basically satisfy it no matter how difficult it was. In this case, he would say he would find time to buy it for her.

"Then ask your wife to buy some meat!"

The deaf old lady refused to give up.

"Old lady, I have a lot of things to do this afternoon. I haven't been feeling well these past few days and I can't do it. How about we do it another day? Or you can ask Zhuzi to buy you some meat."

The old lady also smiled awkwardly. According to what Yi Zhonghai had just said, she should not spend a penny of the money carelessly in the future.

"Zhu Zi, he..."

Before the deaf old lady wanted to say something, Yi Zhonghai came out with his bag.

"I have to go to the factory first. By the way, Zhuzi hasn't been to work for a long time. Let him go early to see if there are any changes."

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he walked out the door sideways and left.

In the past, in a situation like this, I would definitely go over and explain the situation to Sha Zhu in person, and I would even wait for Sha Zhu to go together.

"Changes, what changes can there be? Explain clearly, eh..."

The deaf old lady felt that her words were not as effective as before.

"Let Zhuzi go and ask as soon as possible. After all, he made a mistake. I don't know if the factory will punish him or anything like that."

An old lady helped to explain it, but in fact, she didn't know either, and Yi Zhonghai had never tried to find out.

When the deaf old lady heard this, her expression changed slightly. She had forgotten about this before. She would probably be punished for making a mistake.

However, he relaxed immediately.

"It shouldn't be a big deal. Zhuzi has made mistakes before, but it was nothing serious. When the time comes, just ask Zhonghai to ask the leader for mercy."

The deaf old lady finished speaking with a smile, and Sha Zhu had already arrived, followed by Jia Dongxu.

The two men greeted the deaf old lady and left, not taking it seriously.

The first canteen kitchen of Red Star Steel Rolling Plant.

"Silly Zhu, go over there and peel those potatoes. You're not needed here."

After seeing Sha Zhu chatting with Ma Hua for a few words, Master Chen went to the chopping board to fiddle with the piece of meat.

"Peeling potatoes? Chen Waizui, did I hear you right? By the way, what did you call me?"

Sha Zhu placed the knife in his hand directly on the chopping board and turned back to look at Master Chen with a dark face.

Originally, I didn't have lunch, but when I saw this piece of meat, I planned to cook a little for myself and stir-fry some meat dishes so that I could eat better.

"I'm calling you Shazhu, what else should I call you? Also, don't call me crooked mouth again."

Master Chen also had an angry look on his face, but he didn't seem to be scared either.

"I'm the team leader of this kitchen. Whatever my name is, what do you mean by asking me to peel potatoes? Believe it or not, I'll peel you!"

As Sha Zhu said this, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward, but was grabbed by Ma Hua.

"Let go!"

Sha Zhu glared at Ma Hua.

"No, Master, Master Chen is the chef now and our squad leader."

Ma Hua glanced at Master Chen and whispered to Sha Zhu.

"What? He's a chef, and the boss will eat the dishes he cooks?!"

Sha Zhu suddenly felt something was wrong. No wonder Master Chen, who had originally been his assistant, dared to ask him to peel potatoes.

"You don't need to worry about whether the boss will eat, but you are no longer a chef. From now on, you just need to do some odd jobs."

Master Chen pointed to a large basket of potatoes over there and said, "Not only those potatoes, but you have to pick the cabbages over there too."

"you!"

Sha Zhu almost went berserk, but was forcibly restrained by Ma Hua.

"Master, don't be impulsive. This is a punishment from the factory because you were arrested before. It's better to keep the green mountains alive than to worry about lack of firewood."

MCA’s meaning is very clear, it is good enough to be able to stay.

"Master Chen, we are all in the same kitchen. There is no need to make things awkward. It will not look good on anyone."

Ma Hua turned and looked at Master Chen.

"Okay, I'll give you some face. After you peel those potatoes, I'll let him help you."

Master Chen glanced at Sha Zhu and still felt a little uneasy, because Sha Zhu really knew how to beat people.

"What? Let me help you!"

Sha Zhu stared at Ma Hua, who was his disappointing disciple.

"Master, I am the chef now."

Ma Hua said embarrassedly.

"You, then I..."

Sha Zhu understood that things are different now than they were in the past. Things have really changed.

This time, I played at a disadvantage.

"Yi Bufan!"

Sha Zhu uttered three words fiercely and punched the piece of meat on the chopping board.

It's all because of this kid. I have lost my freedom to eat meat.
