Siheyuan: A pioneer of morality

The cold wind whistled outside the window, and the house was full of spring.

It was still early outside, and there were not many pedestrians on the street. Zhou Jianjun planned to take advantage of this time to sneak out of Liu Lan's yard.

"Let's have breakfast before we go." Liu Lan said softly while lying in the quilt.

"No, I'll just have a bite on the street." Zhou Jianjun gently pinched Liu Lan's pretty face.

Liu Lan's originally rosy face became even redder after being pinched by Zhou Jianjun.

"You should have a good rest, don't forget to go to work today, the appointment of the squad leader should be down today." Zhou Jianjun specifically reminded.

"Yeah." Liu Lan responded softly.

Walking to the outer room, Zhou Jianjun did not forget to put a bag of wheat flour and dozens of eggs on the table.

"Remember to eat the eggs, you need to nourish your body well." Zhou Jianjun shouted to the inner room before leaving.

After that, he pushed the cart out of the yard.

Before leaving, Zhou Jianjun secretly glanced at the side room. From the noise, the old lady should have woken up and was waiting for Zhou Jianjun to leave.

"This old lady is very sensible!" Zhou Jianjun sighed, and then got on the bike and rode to the steel mill.

Just as Zhou Jianjun closed the door and left, the old lady also walked out of the side room. She walked into the inner room and saw the things on the table at a glance.

"She is really caring." The old lady sighed, then lifted the curtain and went into the bedroom.

"Lanzi, are you okay? You have to talk to him about this later. It takes a whole night. Which good person can bear it." The old lady said with concern.

"Mom, I know, I will remind him next time." Liu Lan huddled in the quilt and answered in a muffled voice.

"Mom is not worried about you, but about him. If he collapses, what will you do in the future!" The old lady sighed with a worried look on her face, "It's not easy to meet a good guy, don't let him get tired!"

Hearing the old lady say this, Liu Lan shrank back involuntarily and replied softly: "I know, Mom! Go and see the girl. I didn't feed her last night. Don't wake her up hungry."

"It's okay. I fed her millet porridge in the middle of the night." The old lady got up and walked out. After taking two steps, she turned back and said to Liu Lan: "He left a few eggs for you. I will cook two for breakfast later."

After instructing Liu Lan, the old lady walked out swayingly, muttering as she walked, "I didn't see him take anything when I came here yesterday. Where did these things come from?"

...

Daytime working hours.

Knowing that the third purchasing department brought back two big fat pigs, the whole steel mill was boiling.

The workers told each other, "We have meat to eat!"

"There are talented people in the third purchasing department. They can even get big fat pigs these days!"

"Two pigs, at most 500 or 600 kilograms, are not enough for all the people in our factory!"

"Be content with yourself. A little bit of meat is a big deal these days. You want to eat a full meal at once!"

"That's right!"

The workers talked a lot, and Director Li was called to the office by Director Yang.

"Comrade Li Huaide, your work is getting better and better!"

"It's mainly due to the efforts of the comrades below. It has nothing to do with my leadership." Li Huaide said modestly.

"The sea voyage depends on the helmsman. Without you as a helmsman, the comrades below can't achieve results." Director Yang praised.

Li Huaide was about to continue to be modest when he heard Director Yang change the subject and asked seriously: "Comrade Huaide, life has become increasingly difficult recently, and the quota allocated to our factory will also be reduced. Can you ask that young comrade to think of a way to get a batch of food back?"

"I knew you, an old fox, had bad intentions." Li Huaide secretly spat in his heart, then looked at Director Yang with a serious face and asked: "Can't we fight for the reduction of quotas? After all, our factory is a large factory with tens of thousands of people. If the workers can't even get enough food, how can they have the energy to produce!"

Director Yang shook his head bitterly and sighed: "The higher-ups have spread the word that not only our factory, but all the factories in the city will have to reduce their quotas."

"Is the situation so serious?" Li Huaide asked with a frown.

He is specifically responsible for logistics. If the workers don't have enough food and make trouble, he will be the first to suffer.

"According to experts' predictions, grain production may decrease this year, and it is likely to be a nationwide grain production decrease." Director Yang was speechless. Even God was causing trouble. It was really a year of disasters.

Li Huaide thought for a while, and he had no idea. He had to reluctantly say: "I will ask Comrade Jianjun later. I hope he can bring us a little surprise."

"Okay! This"I'll trouble you with this matter." Director Yang was a little happy to see Li Huaide take the matter. He walked behind the desk, opened the drawer, took out a ticket, handed it to Li Huaide, and said, "This is a radio ticket. Please give it to Comrade Xiao Zhou as a reward for his successful return of two fat pigs. This is to express my recognition and gratitude for his hard work."

"Then I will thank Director Yang on behalf of Xiao Zhou. If there is nothing else, I will go back first." Li Huaide said, and stood up.

"Sorry to bother Comrade Huaide." Director Yang hurriedly stood up to see him off.

As soon as Zhou Jianjun arrived at the steel mill, Liu Hu hurriedly ran to him and called him, "Director Li is waiting for you in the office, you should hurry over!"

Zhou Jianjun responded and stood up and walked towards Li Huaide's office. On the way, he looked at the watch and it was already past nine o'clock.

"Walking outside and forgetting the working time, is this considered to be caught by the leader? "Zhou Jianjun thought secretly.

When he came to Li Huaide's office, Zhou Jianjun didn't wait for him to call, and first took the kettle to fill Li Huaide's teacup with water, and then poured himself a cup.

After finishing this set of procedures, he sat on the stool opposite Li Huaide with a smile, "Director Li, you called me here so early in the morning, I wonder if there is any work arrangement?"

Li Huaide had been sitting on the chair and silently watching Zhou Jianjun's every move. Seeing that he was so sensible, he felt a lot in his heart, "Such a sensible and capable subordinate, can't let Lao Yang take away."

After thinking about it, Li Huaide opened the drawer and took out two tickets from it. Together with Director Yang's radio ticket, they were handed to Zhou Jianjun.

"Here are three tickets. One radio ticket is a reward from Director Yang. The remaining two, one is a bicycle ticket and the other is a sewing ticket, which are my personal reward to you. "

After Li Huaide finished speaking, he stared at Zhou Jianjun's facial expression, wanting to see how he would react.

When Zhou Jianjun heard the effect of the three tickets, he immediately became happy, "Thank you Director Li for speaking well of me in front of Director Yang. Without Director Li, Director Yang would definitely not reward me with the radio ticket."

Zhou Jianjun's answer made Li Huaide very satisfied. He smiled and said, "It's mainly because you did your job well."

"Without Director Li's leadership, I wouldn't have succeeded." Zhou Jianjun was completely shameless and praised him desperately.
