Soul of the Siheyuan: Zhuzi, I can still give birth

While it's still light.

He Yuzhu went back to the courtyard.

The people in the yard have already gotten up and made breakfast.

As soon as I entered the house, I found that someone had been home.

The lid on the dishes on the table had been moved.

But He Yuzhu didn't care. He changed his clothes and went out for breakfast.

Now is not the time to deal with Bang Geng. He is only seven years old. Even if we report to the police, they won’t be able to do anything to him.

As soon as I arrived at the factory, Li Huaide came to me.

"Zhu Zi, how is it going? Have the supplies been restored?"

He Yuzhu smiled bitterly.

"My dear Director Li, I just went to see my senior brother yesterday, and he only found time to go to his friend today. I think it will take two or three days at the latest to get any news!"

Li Huaide also smiled awkwardly at this time and said embarrassedly.

"Look, I'm in a hurry. How about this? I'm busy too. If you have any news, please notify me. There will be a banquet today. Please work hard. People are here for your cooking skills."

He Yuzhu nodded.

"Don't worry, this is my job, I will take it seriously."

Li Huaide thought for a moment and said again.

"Come to my father-in-law's house and cook a meal when you have time. He wants to eat your cooking."

He Yuzhu didn't want to go, but before the reform and opening up, he couldn't offend Li Huaide.

Because of the special period, I still have to rely on him to save my life.

But you can't get too involved with his family, otherwise after the storm, when they settle the accounts, you'll be left with no intact body.

I am the only one who cooks. I only focus on cooking and don’t take care of other things.

"Okay, when do you speak?"

Li Huaide saw He Yuzhu and patted his shoulder with satisfaction.

Seeing Liu Lan enter the kitchen at this time, Li Huaide gave her a few more instructions and then hurried into the kitchen.

He Yuzhu sighed.

We are all human beings, but you, Li Huaide, have meat to eat every day, but I have nothing.

In the workshop, the last upgrade test before the New Year is being held.

Qin Huairu failed to upgrade as expected and is now sitting aside wiping her tears.

There were twelve apprentices in three workshops who took the exam together, but only Qin Huairu failed.

The other eleven people were successfully promoted to first-level workers, and their monthly salary increased from 22.5 yuan to 33 yuan.

Everyone was laughing and talking happily, except for one person.

Yi Zhonghai is the grader of workshop three.

He deliberately didn't let Qin Huairu upgrade.

Only if she remains an apprentice forever can Qin Huairu be controlled by him.

That's why she will always rely on him, the eighth-level master.

"Huai Ru, what's wrong with you? It's been more than four months, and you still can't even process a first-class workpiece?"

"What do you do every day at work? Daydreaming?"

The workshop director Bai Qirui was so angry that he yelled at Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu said crying.

"Director, do you think I want this? But I've tried my best. What can I do if I can't pass the exam? Wuwuwu...!!"

Seeing Qin Huairu crying, the workshop director had no choice but to shake hands and leave the examination site.

Yi Zhonghai walked over and comforted Qin Huairu.

"Xiao Qin, don't be discouraged. If you didn't pass the exam this time, just try harder next time. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai turned around and ran away.

At this time, Section Chief Guo Dapiezi came over and comforted Qin Huairu.

"Qin Huairu, it's okay. If you have any problems with the workpiece in the future, I will help you complete it, but this..."

Guo Dapiaozi winked at Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu stood up helplessly and followed Guo Dapiaozi.

In the back kitchen.

He Yuzhu is instructing Ma Hua on how to cook.

The fat man who was helping at the side looked at Ma Hua with envy.

He didn't understand why He Yuzhu didn't like him even though he was so smart.

But the fat guy is also talented. Just by watching Ma Hua cook, he can learn most of the dishes.

He Yuzhu did not stop him from learning from others. Some things really require talent.

Although this fat man's behavior is not authentic, we should not let this destroy the rise of a chef.

As for how much he can learn, it depends on his luck.

At this time, Liu Lan walked over with a slightly red face. He Yuzhu knew where she had been as soon as he saw her.

"Hey... Zhuzi, I heard that you're going to be the deputy director of the cafeteria soon, why don't you treat us to a meal?"

Hearing Liu Lan's words, several kitchen workers nearby gathered around.

"Liu Lan, is this true? Master He will be the director soon?"

"Oh, then I have to congratulate Master He first."

"Master He, don't forget about us in the future and take better care of us."

Everyone in the kitchen came over to congratulate He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu also greeted him with a smile.

"This matter has not even started yet. Don't listen to Liu Lan's nonsense. Just work hard. If I really become the director, I will definitely not forget you."

Since Liu Lan said so, it was almost certain that I would be the deputy director of the canteen.

At this time, Liu Lan walked to He Yuzhu again and spoke to him.

"Zhu Zi, Li Huaide asked you to make him some more soup, the soup that replenishes your physical strength. This is what he gave you."

Liu Lan took out a watch ticket and handed it to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu looked at the watch ticket handed over and cursed inwardly.

"If you want to give it to me, just give it to me earlier. I just bought one on the black market this morning, and you gave me another one."

Since it has been given to me, there is no reason for me to refuse it.

As for watches, just buy one more.

Either give it to the rain or give it to Ran Qiuye.

"Okay, tell Director Li to come get it tomorrow."

Liu Lan then left happily and went to find Li Huaide.

When lunch was served at noon, the workers in the workshop came to get their meals, chatting and laughing.

Today, not only apprentices are converted to regular employees.

It is also an upgrade exam for regular employees.

of course.

Examinations are bound to have both joys and sorrows.

Where there are successes, there are failures.

So the workers who came to get their meals were both crying and laughing.

Among the crying crowd was the widow Qin Huairu.

Because of Qin Huairu's reputation, no female workers in the factory paid any attention to her.

The male worker who has a family wants to hit the cat, but he doesn't have the courage to do so.

It would be a waste if you fail to catch the fox and end up getting into trouble.

So Qin Huairu usually comes to get food alone.

She was eating alone and no one paid any attention to her.

Same thing today.

She still habitually looked at the food window to see if He Yuzhu was getting his food there.

Today is just right.

He Yuzhu was standing at the window, holding a large spoon and serving meals to the workers in line.

"Dear workers, you have all worked hard to take the exam today. There will be enough food today, so eat more."

He Yuzhu filled every spoonful full.

This caused other workers to line up at He Yuzhu's window.

Qin Huairu walked to the front of the team, and after searching for a while, she walked to a male worker in the same workshop.

"Dashun, can Sister Qin cut in line?"

A co-worker named Dashun was a bachelor, and Qin Huairu would usually flirt with him when she had nothing to do.

In addition, Dashun was rather dull, so Qin Huairu got a lot of money from him.

Looking at Qin Huairu, Dashun swallowed, then squeezed in to make a space in front of himself.

Qin Huairu happily joined the queue.

Just as he was about to turn around to thank Dashun, he saw that his face was red.

"Dashun, thank you, sister!"

How could Dashun bear this situation?

Although I can usually touch Qin Huairu's little hand, this is the first time since I was born.

I could only nod with a blushing face.

At this time, it was Qin Huairu's turn to serve the food.

Qin Huairu handed over the lunch box, without even raising her head, she looked at the food in the window and said.

"Zhu Zi, give me a plate of braised cabbage with vinegar, a plate of stewed potatoes, and four steamed buns. Please help me with my meal ticket first..."

Qin Huairu was ordering dishes when she looked up and found that it was He Yuzhu who was supposed to be serving the dishes.

Now it has become Liu Lan.

Liu Lan also knew Qin Huairu.

Especially during this period, Li Huaide asked about Qin Huairu from time to time, which made Liu Lan feel a sense of crisis.

In terms of appearance and figure, he was at a disadvantage compared to the pretty widow in front of him.

The reason why he can live such a comfortable life now is because he has the support of Li Huaide.

If Li Huaide hooked up with the more beautiful Qin Huairu, she would lose favor.

So Liu Lan is now full of hostility towards Qin Huairu.

"Widow Qin, where's the meal ticket?"

Originally, Qin Huairu wanted He Yuzhu to help him get a meal ticket.

Although this meal ticket was issued by the factory.

All you need to pay for meals is the meal ticket.

However, every month, the amount of food eaten will still be deducted from the salary, but the factory pays the majority and the workers pay the minority.

Therefore, in order to reduce the amount of deductions, many workers try to eat less and eat worse.

The money saved can be taken home.

Seeing Liu Lan's unfriendly look, Qin Huairu said.

"One steamed bread and one stir-fried cabbage will do."

Liu Lan picked up a black-faced steamed bread, then picked up the serving spoon and scooped up a large spoonful of stir-fried cabbage.

This made Qin Huairu very happy, and she immediately handed over the lunch box.

Unexpectedly, Liu Lan's hand shook and half of the food in the spoon was gone.

When Qin Huairu saw this, her face turned pale with anger and she frowned and glared at Liu Lan.

Unexpectedly, her expression was seen by Liu Lan, and Liu Lan's hands trembled again.

Half of the food in the spoon was gone again.

Only then did he pour the little bit of fried cabbage into Qin Huairu's lunch box.

"Liu Lan...you!"

Qin Huairu looked at Liu Lan angrily.

But the workers behind him were unwilling.

"Qin Huairu, if you want to quarrel, go ahead. We are still getting food! If you want to get angry, go home and vent it."

A female co-worker, who usually disliked Qin Huairu, the young widow, took the opportunity to mock her.

The other workers burst into laughter when they heard it.

Qinhuai District was so angry that his face turned red and white.

He stamped his feet, cried and went to find a place to eat.

Xu Damao walked into the cafeteria at this time.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Qin Huairu crying and eating in the corner.

Xu Damao couldn't bear to see Qin Huairu with tears in her eyes.

He quickly went to get the food and then sat next to Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu was looking down and looking sad.

It feels like someone is sitting next to me.

When I was wondering who it was, I turned around and saw a big donkey face looking at me.

"Xu Damao, are you here to laugh at Sister Qin too?"

There were three white flour buns in Xu Damao's lunch box.

There is also stewed potatoes with minced meat.

Xu Damao pushed the lunch box in front of Qin Huairu.

"Sister Qin, we are cousins ​​after all, how could I laugh at you? We bought too much food, let's eat together."

Look at the white flour buns and the stewed potatoes glistening with oil.

Qin Huairu also nodded, picked up a steamed bun and took a big bite.

So fragrant!

He picked up another piece of minced meat and stewed potatoes.

It’s so delicious.

Seeing Qin Huairu eating voraciously, Xu Damao moved closer to her and sniffed her faint body fragrance.

Qin Huairu certainly understood what Xu Damao was planning.

So I gave him a gentle push.

"Xu Damao, your wife is my sister, aren't you afraid that she will be angry?"

Faced with Qin Huairu's coquettish refusal, Xu Damao could no longer bear it.

"Sister Qin, Jingru is pregnant. You know this, right? Now I'm afraid she'll fall when she walks."

Qin Huairu glanced at Xu Damao, whose face was flushed, and said in a low voice.

"Look how scared you are. It's not that easy to lose a child. Don't be afraid. Just do what you have to do. Don't worry."

After Qin Huairu finished speaking, she took another bite of the braised pork with potatoes.

"Sister Qin, please do me a favor. I'll buy all your meal tickets for this week."

Then he took out a few meal tickets.

Qin Huairu looked around and found that no one was paying attention to them, so she spoke.

"This is not enough, add two more."

Xu Damao gritted his teeth and took out two more meal tickets.

"Come on, follow me. I have a good place. I will teach you how to project movies and you can be a projectionist in the future."

Xu Damao stood up in a hurry and didn't even bother to eat.

Qin Huairu also picked up his lunch box, poured the stewed potatoes into her own lunch box, and put the steamed buns into her own lunch box as well.

Only then did they leave one after another following Xu Damao.

In the warehouse of the Propaganda Department, Xu Damao spoke.

"Sister Qin, this meal ticket is easy to get, right?"

Xu Damao said to Qin Huairu with a satisfied look on his face.

Qin Huairu patted him and said.

"Easy!? It's easy for you, but it's hard for me."

Although Qin Huairu said this, she was thinking in her heart how to squeeze more out of Xu Damao next time.

"Da Mao, you know that everyone in the compound is targeting Sister Qin. Sister Qin has to pay an extra seven or eight yuan for water every month."

"See if you can help Sister Qin."

Qin Huairu was about to play the victim when Xu Damao had already put on his pants.

"Seven or eight dollars a month, no problem for me."

Xu Damao said, patting his chest.

"As long as you come whenever I call, I, Xu Damao, will pay for the extra eight yuan of water bill every month!"

Xu Damao calculated it.

You won’t lose out.

All in all, it’s less than one dollar, which is not cost-effective at all.

Although Qin Huairu is not well educated, she is not stupid.

For eight bucks a month, I want to be on call whenever I want.

Want to eat fart!

"Xu Damao, you are really good at calculating. Eight dollars a month for water? You just want me to follow you. You are dreaming."

Xu Damao smiled and said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Widow Qin, I'll call you sister to give you face, but if I don't, I'll call you widow. Don't think you're that capable, I've heard...!"

Xu Damao's words deeply irritated Qin Huairu.

However, as an old white lotus with considerable work experience, Qin Huairu is no pushover.

"I won't talk to you anymore, I'm leaving!!"

Before she finished speaking, Qin Huairu had already put on her clothes and walked out of the warehouse.

Xu Damao was so angry that his mouth was crooked, and he chased after him and said.

"Widow Qin, what's wrong with me? Explain yourself to me!"

But Qin Huairu ignored him and went back to the workshop on her own.

After working overtime to prepare the reception banquet in the evening, He Yuzhu said hello to Liu Lan who stayed behind and went home.

When passing by the Jia family, he saw a familiar figure sitting there and talking to Qin Huairu.

He Yuzhu saw her, and she also saw He Yuzhu and nodded at him.

He Yuzhu went home happily, changed his clothes, sat at the door, turned on the radio, listened to the broadcast, and waited for Ran Qiuye to finish the home visit.
