Fortunately, Liu Haizhong didn't care about these. He just ate peanuts and drank a sip of wine absentmindedly. Liu Haizhong's mind was mostly on Ding Weidong's house across the street.

At this moment, Yan Bugui went to eat pig intestines. The intestines had a strong smell and were not cleaned thoroughly. But Yan Bugui liked the taste.

The intestines were a little too salty. And Yan Bugui even tasted rice bran. But Yan Bugui didn't take it seriously. He just kept eating and didn't care about drinking.

Yang Yuzhen and a few children ate in another room.

In the living room of Ding Weidong's house, Xu Damao used his signature skill of "one big and three small". He just toasted Director Shang, Director Li and Director Zhang, and they fell down.

The four hot dishes on the table were all served. Ding Weidong taught He Yushui how to make pickled fish, and he also told He Yushui that this was a dish he had come up with.

Then came the sweet and sour spareribs, pickled mutton and meatballs, braised pork and steamed mandarin fish, stir-fried liver and kidney, braised large intestine with cabbage, and finally the pork belly and chicken.

The ten hot dishes were all solid and delicious. This banquet was of a very high quality.

Li Qingyu, He Yushui and Lou Xiaoe, with Xiaoyuer, prepared dinner in the kitchen and were waiting to clean the table. But Xu Damao lay down at this time.

"Sister-in-law, come here for a moment. I'll send Xu Damao back."

Ding Weidong had no choice but to call Lou Xiaoe. He and Fan Dalei carried Xu Damao to the backyard.

After the two of them came out, Fan Dalei said with a smile: "This Xu Damao is quite interesting. He can't drink much, but he's brave enough to rush forward! But I think there's something wrong with his character."

"Yeah, that's a serious problem." Ding Weidong said with a smile: "But he is still useful. As long as he doesn't provoke me, I won't do anything. If... he will see my powerful methods!"

"Yeah, Director Shang wants to find out about my background." Fan Dalei said, "I have been avoiding this question.

He was too embarrassed to ask further.

"I wanted to say this, but you didn't let him know." Ding Weidong said with a smile: "If you had let him know earlier,

I would not have been allowed to go to the steel mill. But it was a blessing in disguise!"

"In fact, I also want to go to a place like a steel rolling mill to lay a solid foundation first."

As someone from the future, Ding Weidong knew that even if he was in charge of some affairs at the police station, he would not be able to achieve anything. Moreover, the people below might not be convinced.

Unlike the security department at the steel mill, where I directly lead a squadron of nearly 20 people, these people will definitely listen to me. When I make some achievements in the future, it will be much better than working in the police station.

"Brother Dong, as long as you are happy." Fan Dalei said with a smile. "By the way, where is Zhong Chongshan?" Ding Weidong asked.

"He went back to his hometown. He said he would come to see me after the New Year." Fan Dalei said: "He hasn't come yet. At that time, he insisted on going back to his hometown, and I had no way to stop him."

"It seems that he became the team leader after returning. But in the countryside..." Fan Dalei shook his head when he said this.

"Let's go to the countryside on Sunday to have a look." Ding Weidong sighed and said, "I know why he wants to go back. It's for his big family."

"I'll find some time and get a car to go see him," said Fan Dalei.

After returning to the living room, Ding Weidong and Fan Dalei had just sat down when Director Shang smiled and said, "I remember now, your name is Fan Dalei, so who is Fan Dajiang to you?"

"It's my brother." Fan Dalei replied with a smile.

"Tsk tsk, then why didn't you join the public security system after you retired from the army? And why did you send Director Ding to us?" Director Shang asked in surprise.

"There's no vacant position there for now. Otherwise... hehe, I can take care of it here, which is no different from being at my brother's place." Fan Dalei said with a smile:

"I'll find a chance to invite you to my house for a few drinks."

Director Shang's eyes lit up. He knew that his career had come to an end here. But Fan Dajiang was different. He had his own abilities and a father like that. His future must be bright.

The banquet below was still very lively. In the end, a few people were a little drunk.

The bicycle that Fan Dalei was pushing was swaying. Director Shang shouted, "Dalei, put the bicycle on the roof of my brother's car. I'll have someone take you back."

Director Zhang was still somewhat sober and called the driver in to help get the two men out.

Ding Weidong sent them to the gate and watched Director Shang's car leave. He was talking to Li Huaide. He could also see Liu Haizhong peeking over from inside the gate.

"Tsk tsk, Weidong, I never thought you could cook such a table of dishes at home." Li Huaide was drunk, but still sober: "The belly-wrapped chicken is good, and the pickled fish is also good! By the way, the pickled fish is really good with wine."

The pickled fish is made from mandarin fish, so it is delicious. And the fish fillet has no bones at all.

It is eaten with rice. It is sour, spicy and delicious, and is particularly appetizing.

"This is a new dish I came up with myself." Ding Weidong shyly counted the pickled fish as his own achievement: "I asked Sha Zhu's sister He Yushui to make it."

"I can give some pointers and talk, but it's not so easy to cook with a knife."

"Yeah, very good. This pickled fish alone can attract a lot of people." Li Huaide said: "Why don't we ask her to come to our factory to cook this dish..."

"He Yushui is about to graduate from high school. She's also a pretty good cook. How about letting her work in the canteen at the steel mill?" Ding Weidong rolled his eyes and said, "Let her compete with Sha Zhu."

"Okay, okay. But Shazhu is her brother..." Li Huaide said after thinking for a while.

"The two of them don't get along, and He Yushui has been looking for a chance to sever her relationship with Sha Zhu." Ding Weidong said, "This is a good opportunity to let her join the factory. Just separate their household registration books."

"This is easy. The factory will issue a letter of introduction when the time comes." Li Huaide nodded.

Ding Weidong knew that Li Huaide didn't like Sha Zhu. But he had no choice. He had to rely on Sha Zhu for entertainment. Now that he had a new choice, Li Huaide naturally had to take action.

And in Li Huaide's mind, Sha Zhu was Director Yang's man. He had no choice but to use him. Ding Weidong knew all this.

"Then I will take He Yushui to go through the entry procedures tomorrow. By the way, I have two workstations, one of which is for He Yushui. We just need some coordination..." Ding Weidong said.

Before Ding Weidong finished speaking, Li Huaide shook his head and said, "No, no, really. I have a workstation in the cafeteria."

Li Huaide wanted to win people's hearts, so he was willing to spend a lot of money. "Then I won't be polite." Ding Weidong nodded.

Liu Haizhong couldn't help it any longer. Seeing that Li Huaide was about to get in the car and leave, he rushed over from the gate and said, "Deputy Director Li, wait a minute. Wait a minute."

Looking at the huge body in Liu Haizhong, Li Huaide frowned and said, "Master Liu, what else do you want? Even if you have something, you have to wait until you get to work and report it one level at a time."

"Your team leader and workshop director will report the problem to us." Li Huaide said and got in the car and left.

Ding Weidong shook his head and turned away, leaving Liu Haizhong standing in a daze at the door with a desperate look on his face.

When Ding Weidong returned home, He Yushui and Li Qingyu were tidying up. As for Xiaoyuer, he had already gone to bed. It was past eight o'clock.

"These leftovers...are divided into three portions. One portion will go to Aunt Zhang's family in the middle yard. One portion will go to Wu**'s family in the back yard, and one portion will go to Wang Xiaolong's family in the front yard." Ding Weidong said.

"Okay, then I'll go and take it there." He Yushui nodded.

"So much meat... forget it, just give it away. Yu Shui said that it's not easy for the three families. Only the old and weak are left." Li Qingyu nodded.

"These three families are very poor, and those masters acted as if they didn't see the situation." He Yushui smiled bitterly and said, "But the character of the three families is pretty good."

"By the way, He Yushui, prepare your household registration booklet tomorrow morning. Come to the steel mill to find me and I'll take you to the job application process." Ding Weidong said with a smile, "I just discussed this with Director Li..."

Ding Weidong recounted what had just happened.

"Okay, okay. Thank you, Brother Dong." He Yushui said excitedly.

"Qingyu, I plan to arrange for you to work as a salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative." Ding Weidong said with a smile: "Wait a few days, I will go find Fan Dalei."

"Yes, I will listen to Brother Dong in everything." Li Qingyu nodded.

Yan Bugui couldn't stand it anymore in the bedroom; his stomach was growling.

"Damn it, there's something wrong with the pork Liu Haizhong brought." Yan Bugui covered his stomach and said, "It's not cooked well..."

"You ate so much when it wasn't cooked?" Yang Yuzhen complained, "You didn't leave some... the plate is empty."

"Well, well...if I don't eat it, it will definitely be taken away by Liu Haizhong." Yan Bugui said with a dry laugh.

Just then they heard some noise outside. It was He Yushui talking to Wang Xiaolong. Wang Xiaolong was only twelve or thirteen years old and lived with his grandmother who was in her sixties.

"Xiaolong, these are the leftovers. If you don't mind, you can eat them together with me..." He Yushui said.

"Thank you, Sister Yushui!" Wang Xiaolong hurriedly thanked her. It was good enough to have something to eat, so why would he complain?

"Yes, bring a small bowl and I'll pour it for you. There are chicken, fish and mutton in it." He Yushui's voice reached Yan Bugui's ears.

"Damn it, our family is in financial difficulty too!" Yan Bugui cursed inwardly, "Ding Weidong is too much for not sending any to our family."

"Or I can go out and help him clear the table..." Yang Yuzhen said anxiously.

"It's too late. They've already cleaned up everything. Besides, they won't let me take advantage of them." Yan Bugui said dejectedly, "It's all my fault that day. I didn't know how high the heaven was and how deep the earth was, so I acted like a big shot."

"Not only did I get slapped in the face, but I also offended someone. Otherwise, he could have solved the problem with just one sentence."

Ding Weidong arrived at the factory on time at 8 o'clock the next morning, and walked into the hall of the Eighth Squadron with a T-shaped stick.

Everyone at work was here, and Wang Daniu looked at the T-shaped stick in Ding Weidong's hand with curiosity, not understanding what it was.
