Siheyuan: I live next door to Xu Damao, my last name is Cao

At noon, the bell for the end of get off work rang.

The workers in the workshop put down their tools, picked up their lunch boxes and went to the canteen.

Cao Wei was no exception. It was not cost-effective to go home and cook at noon. It took almost an hour to walk back and forth, so he usually ate in the cafeteria.

Eat something in the cafeteria and get some side dishes from the space, and that’s your lunch.

Yi Zhonghai also took his lunch box and prepared to eat, and he did not forget to call Qin Huairu when he left.

This was Qin Huairu’s first time at the steel mill and she didn’t know where the canteen was, so she had to be taken there.

After arriving at the cafeteria, Cao Wei randomly found a window to get his meal.

He never went to Sha Zhu to get food. Sha Zhu held a grudge against Cao Wei because Cao Wei only donated 1 cent to the Jia family. If he went to him to get food, Sha Zhu would definitely give him less.

Cao Wei would never seek trouble.

Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai naturally went to find Sha Zhu's window, because Qin Huairu remembered that Sha Zhu had specifically told her in the morning to go find Sha Zhu during lunch.

It would be a fool not to take advantage of a good deal. You can get more food by spending less money, so why not do it?

When it was Qin Huairu's turn in the queue, she smiled and handed the empty lunch box in her hand to Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu's smile and also chuckled. Sister Qin actually smiled at me. She likes me!

This time, Sha Zhu's hands stopped shaking and he filled Qin Huairu's lunch box until it was full. He stopped only when the food was sticking out.

When Qin Huairu gave him the money and the ticket, Sha Zhu refused to take anything.

"Sister Qin, just take it away. Consider this meal my treat."

Sha Zhu is very generous.

Today is Qin Huairu's first day at work, so he must let Qin Huairu see how capable he is.

"Thank you, Zhuzi."

Qin Huairu smiled again, and she captivated Sha Zhu's soul.

Yi Zhonghai received the same treatment, and Sha Zhu also did not take his money.

You have to pay for the meal, and naturally, Sha Zhu paid for it himself.

Qin Huairu ate lunch happily, feeling that it was not bad to work like this. Not only was the work not tiring today, but she also had a free lunch. It would be great if it was like this every day.

......

In the afternoon, I worked for about two hours.

The workshop director Wang Jianguo came over to inform them.

"Everyone, please stop what you are doing. There is a commendation meeting in the factory now and everyone is needed to attend. Please turn off the machines. After the meeting, you can pack up and go home directly."

Everyone in the workshop is very happy. They attend the meeting just to listen to the leader’s speech and talk about miscellaneous things. They go home after the meeting, which is very cost-effective.

How comfortable it is to not have to work for the whole afternoon and still get paid for the day.

Of course, this commendation conference is attended by the entire factory, not just their workshop.

People in the workshop walked to the square in groups of three or five.

The square was bustling with people. There were already many people standing here, and everyone was very excited.

Everyone brought their own stool and found a seat to sit down.

For activities like this, people sit according to workshops. Each workshop has an area and there is no requirement for each person's seat. You can sit wherever you want.

After Wang Jianguo organized everyone in the workshop to sit down, he looked around the crowd.

"Cao Wei, come and sit here."

Wang Jianguo was at the front of the team, calling Cao Wei over.

Cao Wei will have to go on stage to give a speech later, how can he be allowed to sit at the back?

Zhang Dayong was already sitting next to Wang Jianguo.

Cao Wei moved a stool and sat over.

Soon, the commendation meeting began.

The meeting was chaired by a young girl from the radio studio.

In this kind of meeting, the leader must not speak first.

"Dear leaders, dear workers, good afternoon. On this beautiful and sunny afternoon, we gather here to hold a commendation meeting. I am honored to be the host of this workshop safety education meeting and commendation meeting..."

The young host girl hosted the show in front of so many people without any stage fright at all, she is quite impressive.

Cao Wei was in a trance, his mind wandering freely.

He has never been interested in this kind of meeting. The leader's boring speeches and monotonous words are more comfortable than finding a place to take a nap.

The host first introduced the leaders on the stage, and then changed the tone.

"Next, please welcome our steel mill director and party secretary Yang Weiguo to speak."

The little girl had a slightly nasal voice, and when she said the last two words, her voice suddenly lowered a little.

Cao Wei seemed to have heard something extraordinary.

Yang Weiguo, impotence, is really a homonym. I wonder if Director Yang knows this.

Director Yang took the microphone and coughed twice as usual, then said very seriously: "Some time ago, a very serious safety accident occurred in our factory, which caused a worker to be severely paralyzed. We feel very sorry for such a thing. This is our loss and our regret, so we should pay attention to workshop safety..."

While Director Yang was speaking, the people in Workshop 3 all turned their eyes to Qin Huairu. The wife of the person involved in this incident had just joined the steel rolling mill, and they wondered what she would think.

Qin Huairu naturally made a very sad expression and was even about to cry. This was a good opportunity to create a character.

"According to the comrades at the scene, the worker was injured because he dozed off, so this is clearly an avoidable accident. We must take this as a warning and learn a lesson..."

After a lot of blah blah, he finally finished speaking and the microphone returned to the host's hands.

"In this accident, two comrades were very brave. They stepped forward and turned the tide to shut down the machine. Their performance was perfect... I hope everyone can learn from them. Now, please invite Comrade Cao Wei and Comrade Zhang Dayong to the stage to receive the award. Please invite Director Li Huaide, the director of logistics, to present the award to them and give them the prize."

During this period, Li Huaide was very active in the steel mill, but no one knew why.

Cao Wei suddenly heard his own name and was startled. Wang Jianguo reminded him to go on stage to receive the award, and then Cao Wei and Zhang Dayong went on stage.

Li Huaide also said some polite words, which roughly meant praising Cao Wei and Zhang Dayong, and then talked about the prizes.

As for the prizes, each person received an enamel pot with the words "heroic act" written on it, as well as some commonly used receipts, rice, flour, oilcloth, and meat tickets. There were quite a lot of prizes in total.

The most important thing is that each person has a bicycle ticket.

Everyone in the audience was very shocked. They didn't expect the factory to be so generous this time and directly gave each person a bicycle ticket. In the past, some of the tickets were considered good.

Cao Wei suddenly realized that someone was waiting for him here. No wonder the system said that it would be distributed in a reasonable way.

Who can question the reward given in public?
