I am in the courtyard, animals are just vegetables!

"Uncle Li, are you going home for lunch?" Smelling the meat from the cafeteria, Cao Dongfang asked Uncle Li at the gate.

"Go back after lunch. Thanks to you, the food in the cafeteria was good yesterday and today, with lots of meat and oil.

Bring it back and let your aunt and Xiaoying have some too," said Uncle Li.

"There's no one guarding the gate! Find someone to take over for a while!" Cao Dongfang asked.

“No need. There are people from the security department there during work at noon. They can work part-time as doormen. No one minds it.” Uncle Li said.

"I seem to have seen it before, but I didn't pay much attention. I didn't know they also had to guard the gate!" said Cao Dongfang.

"I can't compare with you. It's okay for me to go out a few times at noon. I am also a member of the security department."

Uncle Li said, "The Security Section will also become the Security Department. The factory is expanding."

"I heard that almost all departments in the factory have expanded in scale and level since the Transformation Department!" said Cao Dongfang.

"I'm just a disabled veteran, and you're a general. It has nothing to do with us. It's normal to expand with more people!" Uncle Li said with a smile.

"That's right!"

"Damn! Director Li is so comfortable that he goes out during working hours and goes to make connections again." Uncle Li saw a small car driving out of the factory.

"Isn't our factory going to transfer three leaders? They may go to do official business or to seek relocation. This is normal, isn't it?" said Cao Dongfang.

Uncle Li: “…”

It seems like going to work on business is fine, but as for using connections to climb up the ladder, that doesn't seem right.

People still have to work hard and not take other approaches just to get promoted!

"Don't you understand, Uncle Li? A cadre, especially one who has reached the level of a factory director, doesn't work, or only does one thing!

Use people! Use the people at the next level well. Their real task is actually -

Use connections!

Don’t you understand?

Just imagine what would happen if there was another me in the steel mill!" Cao Dongfang said.

Uncle Li: “…”

I don't understand!

The question is too profound!

......

At noon, many employees of the steel rolling mill took their meals home to eat. There were not many dishes at the steel rolling mill today, one was stewed and the other was braised pork with potatoes.

There is too much braised pork, more than potato cubes, and the quantity given is also larger.

It is one and a half times the price of a normal dish, and each person can buy up to three large white flour buns! A large bowl of bone soup is free!

Many families cannot afford this kind of meal during the Chinese New Year, but the braised pork is said to have half a pound of meat!

With so much profit, many employees took the food home to eat with their families. Everyone in the compound went home to eat, including Xu Damao and his son!

Not to mention Qin Huairu!

Nan Yi ordered a lot of dishes and gave Qin Huairu a lot of braised pork. He had no big grudge against Qin Huairu, and Nan Yi was not a stingy person!

"Zhu Zi, we don't need to take any food back for Yu Shui!" Xiang Zhaodi said as she looked at the four large lunch boxes in front of her.

"You don't need to bring He Yushui with you. She eats much better than us. She doesn't like braised pork at all, but mutton soup is okay. We can improve our meals at Cao Dongfang's house at noon every day!

Leave a lunch box of food and take it to your house in the evening. We will eat yesterday's leftovers in the evening.

I guess He Yushui will make some new dishes, take the two cans of food and the pork belly, two pounds of mutton, and two pounds of flour to your mother's house.

Who doesn’t make dumplings during the Chinese New Year? "Sha Zhu said.

"Is the food in Cao Dongfang's home good? He doesn't even like braised pork!" Xiang Zhaodi asked.

"His family only ate braised pork in 53 and 54, and they stopped eating anything oily. They ate basically all kinds of meat, chicken, duck, fish, and basically didn't eat meat that was too fatty!

They all eat fish and seafood. People are not comparable. Cao Dongfang is not only a general, but also seems to have a lot of supplies!

The country knows but doesn’t care!

I don’t know what job he does!

Let’s eat!” said Sha Zhu.

"Okay, let's eat!" Xiang Zhaodi said.

.....

Ugh, ugh, ugh…

After taking a few bites of food, Xiang Zhaodi started to retch!

"Zhaodi, Zhaodi, what's wrong with you!" Shazhu asked quickly when he saw her.

"I... I'm fine, ugh ugh ugh..." Xiang Zhaodi said and started retching again.

"Zhao Di, Zhao Di...what's wrong with you? You're not feeling well. Let's go to the hospital." Sha Zhu said hurriedly.

"Zhu Zi, your wife seems to be pregnant. It's a reaction of pregnant women. It shouldn't be a big problem. You can go to the hospital if she stops retching!" said an experienced aunt in the kitchen.

"Yes, I have a son. That's great. I'll go to the hospital later and I'll be fine in the afternoon!" He Yuzhu said happily.

"Not necessarily, maybe I'm sick!" Xiang Zhaodi recovered a little.

"Zhu Zi, ask your wife to eat lighter food. Don't eat braised pork or stewed food. Try the bone soup to see if it's drinkable. If not, go home and eat lighter food!" said the middle-aged woman.

"Thank you, Aunt Wang, Zhaodi, let's go home." said Sha Zhu.

"Do I need to tell Dad? And also our union..." Xiang Zhaodi said.

"I'll go and talk to him, you wait here!" Sha Zhu rushed out of the kitchen.

I first talked to the union staff who were having lunch and asked for half a day off, but they didn’t care. It was the 29th day of the lunar year, so what kind of day off was it? It was nothing, so I could just go to work as usual!

I also talked to the canteen director and took my wife for a physical examination in the afternoon.

"That's good. Zhuzi, go in the afternoon. Everything is fine now. It's a double blessing during the New Year. It can be considered as normal work." said the canteen director.

"Thank you, Director!" Sha Zhu thanked.

My wife might be pregnant!

This is a great thing!

After a while, He Daqing came in a hurry. He Daqing put away the lunch box, and Sha Zhu helped Xiang Zhaodi go home in front!

......

"Yu Shui, your father, your brother, and your sister-in-law are back. Maybe something happened. You go and take a look." Cao Dongfang said to He Yu Shui who had just finished his meal.

"My dad and the others are back. I'll go see them. Goodbye, Brother Dongfang! Goodbye, Jiajia!" said He Yushui.

"Goodbye, Sister Rain!"

"Dad, why are you back? Is there something wrong?" He Yushui asked.

“It’s nothing serious, your sister-in-law is retching, she’s either sick or pregnant.

The food in the factory is too oily, come back and eat something lighter." He Daqing said.

"My sister-in-law is pregnant, that's great." He Yushui was very happy.

After walking for a while, Xiang Zhaodi got better and was almost like a normal person. He Daqing nodded when he saw her and thought that she must be pregnant!

The unchanging zombie face showed a smile, the He family has a successor!

This is a big event for the He family. He Daqing has only one son, Sha Zhu. If Sha Zhu has a successor, it means that the He family will have a successor!

I want to have another child, but it's not that easy. I'm getting older. I can find a woman, but I'm not sure if she can give birth to a child.

......

"Yu Shui, what happened?" Cao Dongfang asked when he saw He Yu Shui coming back.

"My sister-in-law was retching while eating, but she almost recovered after walking all the way home from the factory cafeteria and eating some vegetarian dishes.

I went to the hospital with my silly brother this afternoon for a checkup, hoping I’m pregnant! "He Yushui said.

"Children are fun, human cubs are more interesting, but when they grow up they are not good anymore, they are boring!" said Cao Dongfang.

He Yushui: “…”

Cao Jiajia: “…”

It's fun for kids, but boring when they grow up. I don't understand this!

I think human cubs refer to newborn babies, I don’t quite understand!

Cao Jiajia and He Yushui were quite confused as the questions were quite profound and they could not quite understand.

I just think kids are fun!

It’s boring when you grow up!

Cao Dongfang was not planning to discuss the issue of having children with He Yushui and Cao Jiajia, so he said goodbye to them and left!

......

"Dongfang, you're here. You're awesome. You delivered so many supplies at one time. People on this street are envious and jealous of you and the families of military martyrs!" Chen Xueru said.

"Knowing that I'm awesome, it's useless to be envious, jealous, and resentful of me. They are not relatives of military martyrs, nor are they lonely elderly people!" said Cao Dongfang.

"I envy your generosity in sending supplies. Ten kilograms of meat costs nearly fifty yuan, and noodles and oil are another forty or fifty yuan, which adds up to nearly 100 yuan!"

These are supplies that cannot be bought even with money. 29 families of military martyrs, 17 families of lonely elderly people, and 28 street office staff members have them!

People in our shop envy you, and people on the street think you are awesome. No one dares to say you are a prodigal son or something like that!

The prodigal son will not give more and more things. These things are enough for them to earn for several years! "Chen Xueru said.

"That's right. I'm not the prodigal son. Everything I do is meaningful!" Cao Dongfang said.

“Maybe! I don’t understand!”

“If you don’t understand, forget it!”

It doesn't matter!
