Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "It hasn't been officially decided yet, and everything is still uncertain. Don't rush to celebrate. I'm going back to school first. During the lunch break, I'll go to the street office and take care of the house issue." After that, Yan Bugui went out.

Today was Qin Huairu's first day at work. Perhaps because the stevedores saw that she was a lesbian, they treated her with some care. But even so, by the time of the lunch break, Qin Huairu was too tired to speak. She simply wiped her face, took her lunch box and followed the workers to the canteen.

Walking into the cafeteria, Qin Huairu looked at the long line and sighed unconsciously: "There are so many people, when will it be my turn?!" Qin Huairu looked around and suddenly saw Yi Zhonghai in the front. Qin Huairu's eyes lit up immediately. Qin Huairu quickly walked to Yi Zhonghai's side and called out: "Master Yi!"

Yi Zhonghai was slightly startled when he saw Qin Huairu, and asked: "Huairu, why are you in the factory?!"

Qin Huairu replied: "Dongxu's leg is broken and he can't go to work for a while, so I will take his place for a while."

Yi Zhonghai had already understood the meaning in Qin Huairu's eyes, and said in a pretentious manner: "Huairu, it's not that I don't want to teach Dongxu, but I am only a third-level worker and not qualified."

Qin Huairu said, "Master Yi, please stop talking! Our family understands. It's not bad to be transferred to be a loader now. But being a loader is not as easy as being a fitter."

Yi Zhonghai said: "Dongxu has been learning from me for many years. I have also taught him wholeheartedly for so many years. He is only a second-level worker now. Those who entered the factory at about the same time as him are now at least third-level workers."

Qin Huairu said, "It's not bad for Dongxu to be a loader." Then Qin Huairu pretended to touch her pocket. Yi Zhonghai said hurriedly, "Even if you are not my apprentice's wife, we are neighbors. I will treat you to lunch today."

"I'm so sorry!" Qin Huairu handed the lunch box to Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai took the lunch box and continued to walk forward with the team.

After finishing the meal, Yi Zhonghai handed the lunch box to Qin Huairu, then walked to a table near the corner and sat down. Qin Huairu also sat down.

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Qin Huairu, then looked around and asked, "What do you mean?!"

Qin Huairu replied: "I want to work. You owe me this!"

Yi Zhonghai pretended to take a bite of a steamed bun and said, "I am a third-level worker now. I can't help you find a job. Wait for a while, and I will help you find a solution." Then he asked, "I heard that Jia Dongxu wanted to give you the job. Why didn't he do it?!"

Qin Huairu took a bite of the food and replied, "Don't mention it! Jia Dongxu had planned well, wanting to give me the job. Then I would transfer my and my child's household registration here. Unexpectedly, there were new regulations. If Jia Dongxu gave me the job, he would be persuaded to quit. The consequence of being persuaded to quit is that our whole family would have to go back to the countryside."

"How can we go back to the countryside?!" Yi Zhonghai didn't say anything, but he still hoped that Banggeng would help him in his old age. Qin Huairu said, "Who said it wasn't true?! Look, the work is not done."

Yi Zhonghai asked: "Have you found the person who injured Jia Dongxu?!"

Qin Huairu replied: "Not yet! There is no news from the police. This matter will most likely become an unsolved case."

Yi Zhonghai looked around, took out a big unity and some meal tickets from his pocket, handed them to Qin Huairu, and said, "Take these first. Stevedoring is a physical job, don't starve yourself."

Qin Huairu looked at Yi Zhonghai, took the money and meal ticket with a smile, and asked, "You gave me the money and the ticket, aren't you afraid that your wife will cause trouble for you?!"

"I'm the boss, she can't do anything about this." After saying that, Yi Zhonghai finished his meal in two or three bites, and left with the empty lunch box. Qin Huairu looked at Yi Zhonghai's back, sneered, and took the money and tickets. Then she finished her meal as quickly as possible, then went to the window to get another meal, and left the cafeteria.

After Qin Huairu left, Liu Lan gave the spoon in her hand to the colleague next to her, walked to He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, is Qin Huairu's relationship with Yi Zhonghai good enough?!"

He Yuzhu was stunned and asked, "What's going on?!"

Liu Lan told He Yuzhu what she had just seen. He Yuzhu felt something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. After a while, He Yuzhu said, "Let's not worry about their affairs. We just need to live our own lives."

Liu Lan smiled and replied, "I don't have the time to care about them! They can do whatever they want."

Although Liu Lan said this, the gossip fire in her heart was already burning. Liu Lan planned to find a few girls to find out more.

At the same time, Qin Huairu walked out of the gate of the steel mill. After a quarter of an hour, Qin Huairu ran to the gate of the courtyard. Qin Huairu stopped, took a breath, tidied her hair, and then entered the gate of the courtyard with her lunch box.

The second aunt, who was about to go out for a walk, saw Qin Huairu and asked with a smile: "Huairu, where are you coming back from?!"

"Second Auntie!" Qin Huairu greeted him and said, "Look, I'm here to take over Dongxu's job. I got lunch from the cafeteria and brought it back to him. After all, the food in the cafeteria is rich in oil and water, so Dongxu can get some extra nutrition."

The second aunt nodded and said, "You are right. Go back quickly! Don't let Dongxu wait anxiously!"

"Hey!" Qin Huairu responded and walked past the second aunt.

The second aunt glanced at Qin Huairu's back and walked out of the courtyard gate.

"Why are you back so late?!" Qin Huairu heard Jia Zhang's complaints as soon as she entered the house.

Qin Huairu said, "There's a lot of work to do today. It's good to be back at this time." After that, Qin Huairu put the lunch box on the table and called out, "Dongxu! It's time to eat!"

Jia Dongxu climbed up from the bed, hopped on one foot to the table, sat down, opened the lunch box, took a look at the steamed bread and vegetables inside, and asked, "Why don't you buy two-grain steamed buns?!"

Qin Huairu replied, "Dongxu, you're late today. The steamed buns made of 200g flour have been sold out. You have to make do with it. If you get off work early tomorrow at noon, I'll buy you some steamed buns made of 200g flour."

Jia Dongxu snorted and said, "Go back quickly! Don't delay your work in the afternoon."

Qin Huairu pretended to look at the food in the lunch box, pretended to spit, and said reluctantly, "Then I'll go first!"

"Wait!" Jia Dongxu probably felt guilty, or maybe he was afraid that Qin Huairu would be too hungry to work. He broke off half a steamed bread and gave it to Qin Huairu, saying, "Let's go!"

Although Qin Huairu was not hungry now, she did not argue with Jia Dongxu. She took the half steamed bread that Jia Dongxu gave her, said hello to Jia Dongxu and his mother, and left.

After Qin Huairu left, Jia Zhang complained, "Dongxu, why did you give her half a steamed bread?!"

Jia Dongxu said, "She is working for me now. If she is hungry and has no energy to work, I will be the one who suffers. Besides, I didn't give her more today." Then Jia Dongxu took a bite of the food and said with a smile, "Qin Huairu was pretty good today. She knew to go to the third canteen to get food." Then he changed the subject and continued, "But Shazhu and his wife are too stingy. They didn't even know to give Qin Huairu more food. Who can eat all the food?!"
