Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Yang Weimin didn't know that his previous actions had offended his real girlfriend.

At this moment, he was secretly comparing Wang Wenjuan and Yu Haitang in his mind.

He suddenly realized that it would not be a bad idea to replace Yu Haitang with Wang Wenjuan.

After all, he chose Yu Haitang because she was pretty and he would feel proud to take her out.

Wang Wenjuan felt very relaxed on her first day at work.

It is said that everyone envies office jobs.

People like Wang Wenjuan do clerical work.

I usually stay in the office writing articles or delivering documents.

People like Xu Da, who was also in the Propaganda Department, often had to go to the countryside to show movies.

This is also the benefit of a high degree in this era.

After briefly familiarizing myself with the work content in the office, it was lunch time in the blink of an eye.

Sister Wu, who was in charge of taking care of Wang Wenjuan, also enthusiastically took Wang Wenjuan to the cafeteria to pack up food.

"People in our publicity department usually like to pack their meals and eat them at home. The cafeteria is crowded and there is a strong smell of sweat when the weather is hot. It is more comfortable to eat in the office."

After hearing what Sister Wu said, Wang Wenjuan gave up the idea of ​​having dinner with her brother.

It is better to follow people in the same department on the first day of work.

The group went to the cafeteria together to pack their meals.

When the group of male workers saw Yu Haitang, some of the brave ones even whistled at her from a distance.

Yu Haitang showed disdain on her face, but she was secretly happy in her heart.

The only thing that made her unhappy was that more men's eyes were on Wang Wenjuan.

After all, there’s a new beauty at the steel mill, so it’s definitely worth taking a few more glances at her.

Although Yu Haitang is beautiful, she already has a partner.

The new girl might be single, so they might have a chance.

Wang Wenjuan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by so many men.

She had decided not to eat with her brother in the future, so she packed her food and took it back to the office to eat.

Wang Wenjuan was somewhat looking forward to eating in the cafeteria for the first time.

But when she saw the food in the cafeteria, she lost her appetite again.

Stir-fried cabbage, shredded potatoes, and radish.

It can’t be more vegetarian.

Normally when I followed Wang Jianjun, I ate white flour and white rice every other day, and fish and meat every other day.

Only then did Wang Wenjuan realize that she was actually somewhat unable to adapt to her previous hard life.

Wang Wenjuan didn't want to admit that she had become a picky eater.

In the end, she only ordered a dish of fried radish, a dish of shredded potatoes, and two steamed buns.

She decided to have a meal today to recall the past and think of the sweet past.

After packing up, the group took their lunch boxes back to the office.

They just walked off the front foot.

Then an old woman who was smelly and dirty walked in.

This person was none other than Jia Zhang, who had just finished cleaning halfway.

Jia Zhang really didn't slack off this morning.

With such a large area, if we are lazy we may not be able to complete the task today.

So Jia Zhang was diligent for once, which was rare.

She almost forgot the last time she worked so hard.

When it was time for dinner, Jia Zhang, who was extremely hungry, rushed to the cafeteria with her lunch box to eat.

But when it was her turn to get food, she felt a little jealous when she saw all the vegetarian food in the cafeteria.

She now just felt like she could eat a whole cow.

In the end, Jia Zhang only ordered a dish of shredded potatoes and two steamed buns.

This was actually not enough for her to eat.

But when I think about the current situation of my family.

Jia Zhang no longer dared to spend money recklessly.

She originally wanted to leave a steamed bread for Banggeng.

But after eating one steamed bun, Jia Zhang couldn't control herself and ate the other one.

There's no way, I'm just too hungry.

Jia Zhang talked to herself while eating.

"My dear grandson, it's not that grandma doesn't love you, it's just that grandma is too hungry."

At this moment, Jia Zhang suddenly felt a little sorry for Qin Huairu.

When Qin Huairu took over, he often made things difficult for her and asked her to bring back more food.

Now it’s my turn to experience how difficult it is to bring some food back to try.

Qin Huairu would never have imagined that one day her former mother-in-law would feel guilty about it.

After Jia Zhang finished her meal in a few bites, her stomach was only three-quarters full.

She didn't even have time to rest, she just took her lunch box and went back to clean the house.

There are still many places that I haven't cleaned.

The head of the cleaning department will come over to check later.

On the other side, Wang Wenjuan and others who had packed their meals and returned to the Propaganda Department gathered together to eat.

This is when men and women separate.

For some unknown reason, Yu Haitang took the initiative to sit next to Wang Wenjuan.

She glanced at Wang Wenjuan's food and felt a little disdainful.

She seems to be a shabby woman.

I can't even afford a white flour bun.

An older sister who was eating with Wang Wenjuan saw the two steamed breads in her lunch box and kindly reminded her:

"Wenjuan, our steel mill can subsidize the food coupons for two steamed buns or one white flour steamed bun for lunch. Next time, you can exchange one steamed bun for one cent more. This steamed bun is better than steamed bun anyway."

Wang Wenjuan smiled and said:

"Okay, I remember it."

Sister Wu looked at the food in Wang Wenjuan's bowl and thought that Wang Wenjuan's family was not well off.

So she enthusiastically took out the side dishes she prepared and shared them with everyone:

"Lai Wenjuan, try this dried salted fish. My husband fished in Shichahai and processed it himself."

Looking at the dried fish which was not much thicker than a finger, Wang Wenjuan actually found it difficult to pick up her chopsticks.

But after all, it was a gift from her colleague, so she still put a piece into her lunch box.

"Thank you, Sister Wu."

Not only Sister Wu, but also some other colleagues brought out some side dishes to share with everyone.

There are many varieties, such as dried radish, kimchi, and shredded mustard tuber.

Yu Haitang even took out a small bag of fried peanuts.

This small bag of peanuts easily outshined everyone else's side dishes.

After all, peanuts can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year.

Wang Wenjuan felt a little embarrassed when looking at the side dishes everyone brought out.

She thought that people would bring out meat to share with everyone.

It would be stingy if I didn't take it myself.

You still have to show some appreciation.

So she opened her backpack, took out a can, put it on the table and said:

"I just happened to bring a can today, let's all try it together."

When everyone saw that it was canned food, they hurried to stop it.

After all, what they took were only cheap side dishes like pickles and dried radishes.

How can it compare to this can?

But before anyone could speak, Wang Wenjuan opened the can.

There was only a "bo" sound.

That's the unique sound of opening a can.

Then everyone smelled a special fragrance.

The smell made everyone swallow their saliva.

The polite words that were about to come out of his mouth were swallowed back.

Only Yu Haitang was holding the bag of fried peanuts given by Yang Weimin, and her expression became increasingly uglier.

Because the can was filled to the brim with meat.
