Siheyuan: no worries about food and clothing at the beginning

Chapters 39 and [-] Canteen
Father Xiao returned home after chatting with Li Lin's grandfather for a while.

Father Xiao looked at Xiao Zhengbei, who had been somewhat silent recently, and said, "Zhengbei, do you hate dad?"

Xiao Zhengbei was silent for a while when he heard this, and then he said, "Don't hold any grudges, I know that Dad did this for my own good."

Father Xiao said, "If you don't feel resentful, then live a good life with Jiying. Jiying is a good girl."

When Xiao Zhengbei heard this, he looked at the busy Wang Jiying and said, "Father, I'm not someone who doesn't understand the general situation. Since Jiying is married to me, he will definitely take my responsibility."

Xiao Zhengbei looked at Wang Jiying, who was more beautiful than He Hong, but he was actually very satisfied in his heart. He might feel a kind of regret for He Hong now.

Father Xiao said, "It's good that you can figure it out, but you have to change the way you get along with Jiying now.

It feels like the two of you are barely living together."

Xiao Zhengbei heard this and said, "I understand."

Father Xiao was very relieved to see Xiao Zhengbei who wanted to understand.

Just then there was a knock on the door.

"Jiying, go open the door and see who is coming."

When Wang Jiying heard this, he immediately put down his work.

Wang Jiying looked at He Hong in front of him and said with some surprise, "He Hong, why are you here?"

She is not clear about what happened to Xiao Zhengbei and He Hong in the past. If she were clear, she would understand why her husband treats her in a lukewarm manner these days.

She also thought that the reason why her husband was lukewarm to her was because the two of them got married hastily.

Neither of them are very familiar with each other, so it takes time to increase their feelings.

So Wang Jiyin was very surprised at the arrival of He Hong in front of him.

He Hong looked at Wang Jiying in front of her with a somewhat complicated expression.

Does she love Xiao Zhengbei?She can definitely say love, but she can't abandon her home because of Xiao Zhengbei.

It is said that she was indeed very unhappy in that family, after all, her father and mother treated him as a boy.

But she has doted on her younger brother since she was a child, and it is impossible for her to abandon her family for her younger brother.

He Hong said, "I'm here to find Xiao Zhengbei."

In front of other people's wives, she was embarrassed to call other people's husbands so affectionately.

Wang Jiying was a little puzzled, and she hadn't heard of any relationship between the Xiao family and the He family.

"Wait here for a while, I'll call him"

"Who is Jiying? Knock on the door at this point."

Xiao's mother came out with stick noodle porridge and said.

You must know that during this period, basically when it is time for meals, every household will not stop by.

After all, if you visit the house, the host will leave others to eat, so it is easy for the host to misunderstand that the people who visit are looking for cheap.

So when it's time to eat, we won't visit each other. This is also an unspoken rule that everyone understands.

If you are going to eat at someone else's house, you should also bring your own food.

That's why Mother Xiao has such doubts.

Wang Jiying said, "It's He Hong from my village, she said she came to Zhengbei.

Mom, is there any relationship between our family and the He family?Why did He Hong come to Zhengbei? "

Mother Xiao didn't know what to say when she heard this, she couldn't tell her daughter-in-law that your husband once had a relationship with that He Hong, right?

Xiao's father frowned slightly when he heard this, he had a premonition that there must be nothing good for He Hong to come to the door.

Xiao Zhengbei was also very surprised at this time, he didn't know why He Hong would come to him.

Logically speaking, he knew that if he got married, he should break the relationship with him.

Father Xiao just wanted to say he didn't see him, but was interrupted by Xiao Zhengbei.

Xiao Zhengbei said, "Father, this matter started because of me, so I will end this matter."

Father Xiao looked at Xiao Zhengbei who had made up his mind and said, "That's fine, it's better for you to end this matter after all."

When Xiao Zhengbei heard this, he went out to meet He Hong.

When Xiao's mother saw this scene, she immediately looked at Xiao's father worriedly.

"It's not going to be a problem, is it?"

Father Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "No, I know my child well. Since he has decided to do something, he will definitely do it."

No matter how crazy Wang Jiying was, she still understood that there might be some secret between Xiao Zhengbei and He Hong.

But she was very sensible and didn't ask. She believed that if Xiao Zhengbei really wanted to live with her, he would definitely tell her.

If she doesn't want to live with her, she believes that her father will find a place for her. After all, her father is the captain of the production team in the next village.

In this era, a woman's confidence in her husband's family is her mother's family.

If one's own natal family is not good enough, then a woman will definitely be looked down upon in her husband's family.

Xiao Zhengbei came out and said, "He Hong, what do you want me to do?
Hasn't our relationship ceased to exist since that day? "

He Hong looked at Xiao Zhengbei who had a firm attitude and said, "Zhengbei, I really have no choice, so I came to you."

Xiao Zhengbei said, "I'm married now. I have nothing to say to you."

Xiao Zhengbei was about to go home after saying this, but was forcibly held back by He Hong.

Xiao Zhengbei looked around and said, "In the public, what are we two doing arguing! Hurry up and let go!"

He Hong cried and said, "Zhengbei, I really have no choice, so I came to beg you, come on.

My brother was arrested for speculating, I heard that your brother-in-law has a good relationship with the leaders, I wonder if I can ask him to save my brother."

Xiao Zhengbei felt that He Hong was crazy when he heard this, and begged himself to let his brother-in-law save his opportunistic younger brother.

You must know that the crime of speculation is to be shot in this era.

At this moment, he was thankful that his father forcibly blocked the relationship between himself and He Hong.

Xiao Zhengbei said happily at this moment, "I can't help you with this matter, you have to understand how serious the crime of speculation is."

He Hong said, "Don't your brother-in-law know many leaders? Let your brother-in-law go and beg those leaders, as long as he is not sentenced to death."

Xiao Zhengbei suddenly felt that He Hong was unreasonable.

He doesn't seem to have any relationship with her now, but she can actually have the shame to beg herself and her brother-in-law to do such a dangerous thing.

Xiao Zhengbei forcibly broke away from He Hong's entanglement

"It's impossible for me to promise you this matter, and you don't come to me in the future, I'm afraid that when my wife misunderstands the relationship between the two of us"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Zhengbei ignored He Hong's pleading and forcibly closed the door.

He Hong collapsed weakly in front of the Xiao family's door.

He Hong keeps thinking of his brother calling her to save her.

Father Xiao looked at Xiao Zhengbei who came back and said, "What did He Hong say to you?"

Xiao Zhengbei immediately said angrily, "I didn't expect He Hong to be such a person. His younger brother committed the crime of opportunism, and he actually came to beg me to beg my brother-in-law to save his younger brother."

Father Xiao heard this and said, "You didn't promise her, did you?"

Xiao Zhengbei shook his head and said, "How dare I agree to this matter, and I have nothing to do with her"

His last words were for Wang Jiying.

Seeing that his son had completely figured it out, Father Xiao said in relief:

"As long as I don't get stuck with her in the future, it'll be fine."

Xiao Zhengbei said "hmm"

Looking at her son Xiao who wanted to understand, she was very happy and said, "Eat, the food is almost cold."

夜晚
Xiao Zhengbei told Wang Jiying everything about himself and He Hong.

Looking at Wang Jiying with a complex expression, Xiao Zhengbei assured, "Don't worry, since I married you, I have nothing to do with her."

Wang Jiying heard Xiao Zhengbei's guarantee and said, "I believe in your guarantee"

What else could Wang Jiying do but believe?She was already married to Xiao Zhengbei, and she had no choice but to believe.

He could only hope that Xiao Zhengbei had really forgotten He Hong.

The next day

"It's time for dinner now, silly Zhu, why are you stopping me?"

Li Lin looked at Silly Zhu and said helplessly.

He also couldn't figure out why Sha Zhu would stop him inexplicably.

Silly Zhu seemed to think for a long time and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Li Lin, can you teach me how to cook?"

Silly Zhu has had enough of those who eat his own food because Li Lin doesn't cook for them, so he chooses his own food.

Every time he could hear those leaders lamenting why Li Lin didn't cook for them.

That's why he stopped Li Lin, wanting Li Lin to teach him how to cook.

Li Lin said, "If silly Zhu wants me to teach you how to cook, then you have to worship me as your master, are you willing?"

Silly Zhu hesitated immediately. He originally wanted to exchange things with Li Lin.

Looking at the stupid Zhu who was stunned in place, Li Lin said, "When did you think clearly, come to me again."

Silly Zhu looked at Li Lin's back with a gloomy expression.

Ask him to worship someone who is five or six years younger than him as his master, and he will not be able to pass the test in his heart alone.

Even the gossip from the people in the factory couldn't bear it.

But when he thought of Li Lin's cooking skills, he hesitated again.

After struggling for a while, he gave up. He still couldn't get past the hurdle in his heart.

"Why is it that the factory is always so clear and watery lately?"

Some workers complained.

"What else do you want to eat at this time?"

"That's why you can't always have clear soup and little water. You should improve the food."

Deputy Factory Manager Li listened to the canteen director's report, "I want to tell the workers that this is a difficult time. It's not that the leaders in the factory didn't think of a way, but there is really no way."

The director of the canteen immediately said with a bitter face when he heard this, "I explained it to the workers in the same way, but many people didn't buy it."

Deputy Factory Manager Li thought for a while when he heard this and said, "Since we can't improve the food, can we change the taste?"

When the canteen director heard this, he immediately said, "This is a good idea, but who can make the big pot of food taste better?"

Deputy Factory Manager Li said, "Isn't it okay for silly Zhu? I still recognize his craftsmanship."

The director of the cafeteria immediately said with a bitter face when he heard this, "Si Zhu's big pot dishes are already the best in our cafeteria. If you want to improve the taste of big pot dishes, you can't be Sha Zhu."

Deputy Factory Manager Li immediately had a headache when he heard this.

“Apart from Silly Pillar, don’t we have any other good craftsmanship in our factory?”

The canteen director wanted to say no, but suddenly he thought of someone.

"By the way, doesn't the factory manager still have Li Lin? His craftsmanship is worse than Shashazhu, why not let him..."

Upon hearing this, Deputy Director Li said, "What is Li Lin's specialty? You don't know, it's all about meat. Isn't it embarrassing for him to cook big pot dishes?"

The director of the cafeteria said, "I remember Li Lin had a dish of spicy and sour potato shreds?"
Why not let him make spicy and sour potato shreds for the workers?"

Deputy Director Li was reminded of the taste of Li Lin's hot and sour potato shreds after being reminded by the canteen director.

Deputy Factory Director Li said, "Can this work? One is a small stir-fry, and the other is a big pot dish."

Although Deputy Director Li is not very good at cooking, he can still distinguish the difference between large pot dishes and small stir-fries.

The big pot dish gave him the feeling that it was completely stuffed, and it was not as fragrant as the small stir fry. To put it bluntly, there was no pot gas.

The director of the cafeteria said, "Can you just ask Li Lin to cook a pot? And I believe that no matter how bad his cooking skills are, he can't be any worse."

Deputy Director Li said, "Can Li Lin agree to this? After all, he is a technician now, not the buyer before."

The director of the cafeteria was also a little embarrassed when he heard this. He also knew Li Lin's character.

Basically, Li Lin no longer does the small cooking stoves in the factory, and he basically goes outside to do it for the leaders.

The director of the cafeteria said, "How about we give him some benefits?"

Deputy Factory Manager Li said, "What benefits can we give him now?"

The director of the cafeteria was also taken aback when he heard this, as if they couldn't do Li Lin any good.

Li Lin is now a technician, and there is Lao Yue's platform behind him, so it seems that he doesn't need to rely on Deputy Factory Manager Li.

As for the tickets, Deputy Director Li has basically given them all.

Just when the two fell into silence.

It was Secretary Wang who solved the problem between the two of them.

"You can give Li Lin some food, our factory can still take it out."

Deputy Factory Manager Li immediately said when he heard this, "This is a good way, after all, every household is short of food now."

The director of the cafeteria said, "We still have some bacon in the cafeteria, so why don't we give it to Li Lin?"

Deputy Director Li said, "But there is another question, and that is, will Mr. Yue agree?"

As Deputy Director Li's confidant, the director of the cafeteria certainly knew what Deputy Director Li was worried about.

Isn't it just that he is worried that Mr. Yue will trouble Deputy Director Li when he hears that the person he fancy is wasting his time to go cooking.

The director of the cafeteria said, "I asked Li Lin to do this."

Deputy Factory Manager Li gave the canteen director a childish look.

……

"You, a canteen director, don't stay in the canteen, what are you doing in our technical department?"

The head of the technical department asked the canteen director curiously.

The director of the canteen heard this and said, "It's not that the workers complained about the poor food. They often reported this problem to the factory. The factory leader handed over this matter to me to handle."

The head of the technical department said with some doubts, "The workers' food is so bad, shouldn't you go to the procurement department?
What are you doing in our technical department? "

The director of the cafeteria said, "It's not that we can't improve the food, we just want to improve the taste."

When the head of the technical department heard this, he immediately understood what the canteen director was thinking.

"You come to Li Lin, I don't know anyone in our technical department who cooks delicious food except him."

The canteen director heard this and said, "That's right, I'm here to look for him. Is he in there now?"

The head of the technical department said with some embarrassment, "He is indeed inside, but Mr. Yue told me to let him read quietly first, and not let anyone disturb him."

The canteen director said, "I believe Mr. Yue will be very happy to know that he is doing things for the workers."

The head of the technical department shook his head and said, "Don't fool me with these great principles. I will not be the one who will suffer at that time."

The canteen director heard this and said, "Didn't you always want to eat the dishes made by Li Lin?

As long as you help me complete this matter, I will definitely let you eat Li Lin's dishes as you wish."

The head of the technology department has already developed a strong interest in Li Lin's culinary skills that have almost been blown to the sky.

When I have the opportunity to eat, I always miss it.

Later, Li Lin suddenly stopped making small stoves in the factory, and he never had the opportunity to eat Li Lin's dishes.

The Minister of Technology said, "Remember what you said."

After saying this, the director of the technical department called Li Lin out.

Li Lin looked at the cafeteria chief with some confusion.

I haven't seen the canteen director for a long time, because he hasn't made the small stove in the factory for a long time.

The director of the cafeteria watched Li Lin come out and quickly took Li Lin's hand and said, "Now there is an extremely difficult and meaningful task in the factory that will be dispatched to you."

Li Lin said with some confusion, "Didn't I agree with Factory Director Li? I won't make small stoves in the factory anymore."

The director of the cafeteria said, "I didn't come here this time to ask you to make a small stove, I want you to cook a big pot of vegetables for the people in the factory to eat."

Li Ning immediately shook his head like a wave drum, "It's so tiring to cook big pot dishes, and I'm not good at this."

Li Lin thought about it with his head and knew that the workers must be very dissatisfied with the food recently, so they thought of coming to him to cook.

The director of the cafeteria heard this and continued to say, "Don't you have a unique dish called spicy and sour potato shreds? You just need to make this dish."

Li Lin tactfully excused himself and said, "Can a cheat sheet be the same as a big pot dish? I must not be able to cook it well."

The director of the cafeteria said, "Whether it works or not, you have to try it to know."

Li Lin refused when he heard this and said, "If I don't cook it well, wouldn't it be a waste of resources in the factory?"

The director of the cafeteria said, "I'm not asking you to be fired for nothing, I must give you some compensation."

Li Lin immediately became interested when he heard this, as long as it wasn't for free prostitution.

I am very happy to prostitute others for free, but I am definitely not happy when others prostitute me for free. This is Li Lin's consistent thinking.

Li Lin said, "I thought about it carefully, and it's actually very good to be able to help people in the factory improve the taste.

This is also a disguised form of seeking benefits for the majority of workers.

But may I ask what the pay is? "

The director of the cafeteria only heard the second half of the sentence, and he naturally discarded the first half of the sentence.

“Bacon”

Li Lin immediately became greedy when he heard this. He hadn't tasted meat for a long time.

He is probably the most miserable traveler, and he can't take out anything to eat.

This is also something that can't be helped, who said that now is a special period.

Li Lin said, "But we have to agree on how many times we should do it. It's impossible for me to do it every day."

The director of the cafeteria said, "I already thought about it on the way here, you only need to do it twice a week."

Li Lin also thinks it's okay, "Then let's talk about it like this."

The director of the cafeteria said happily when he heard this, "Okay, come to the cafeteria slowly and I will bring you bacon."

Soon it was time to get off work.

Silly Zhu was greeting everyone to clean up the kitchen, and suddenly saw the canteen director leading Li Lin to the kitchen.

Silly Zhu looked at Li Lin with some doubts and said

"Li Lin, why are you in the kitchen? Are you making a small stove again?"

The director of the cafeteria saw that no one was leaving and said, "If no one is leaving, then I will announce something first, that is, Li Lin will work with you in the future."

Sha Zhu heard this and said in disbelief, "Director, you are not lying.

Hasn't Li Lin already become a technician?How could he still be a chef? "

Although Shazhu is still very proud of his identity as a cook, he still knows the difference between a technician and a cook.

The canteen director heard this and said, "I just said that he will work with you in the future, but I did not say that he will become a chef in the future."

Silly Zhu asked with some doubts, "What do you mean?"

The director of the cafeteria explained, "This is not because the workers in the factory are complaining about poor food. I can't solve the food aspect.

So we could only solve the problem in terms of taste, so we invited Li Lin, but he can only cook twice a week."

Silly Zhu understood after hearing this, but he had nothing to say. After all, Li Lin's craftsmanship was indeed better than his.

Sha Zhu continued to speak, "Then you brought him here just to let us get to know each other?"

The director of the cafeteria said, "For Li Lin to be able to squeeze out his own time to cook food for the majority of workers, our factory will naturally reward him."

When Shazhu heard this, he said, "So I came to the canteen to get something."

The director of the cafeteria stopped caring about everyone and took Li Lin to the room where food for small stoves was stored.

The director of the cafeteria brought a two-pound piece of bacon from the room and gave it to Li Lin.

After that, Li Lin walked away with the envious eyes of the people in the kitchen.

"That piece of bacon weighs two catties, right?"

An aunt in the kitchen said.

"should be"

Another aunt echoed.

"The most promising young man in our factory seems to be Li Lin."

"It must be so. He is not only valued by the leaders in the field, but he is also a technician favored by Mr. Yue."

"You said that the reason why Mr. Yue valued him was because he wanted to take him as his disciple. I heard that the reason why he transferred to the technical department was also because of Mr. Yue."

"What you said seems very possible. After all, he and Yue Lao are not related, so why should they transfer him to the technical department?"

Silly Zhu listened to everyone discussing Li Lin, and suddenly said annoyed, "Have you finished the work at hand? Why don't you hurry up and do it?"

When everyone heard this, they stopped discussing immediately and went to do their own things.

In the kitchen, Shazhu's majesty is still very strong. After all, if he wants to target a person, I am afraid that person will suffer and be unable to speak out.

Silly Zhu walked out of the kitchen upset, and happened to meet Xu Damao.

Silly Zhu looked at Xu Damao and said with some displeasure, "If you don't go home, what are you doing here?"

Xu Damao looked at Shazhu's expression and said, "What's the matter? You've taken gunpowder, as if someone else owes you money."

Silly Zhu said, "What a coincidence, I happened to take some gunpowder. Do you want to taste my fist?"

Hearing this, Xu Damao took a step back and said, "He Yuzhu, I'm not here to argue with you, I'm here to discuss things with you."

Silly Zhu looked Xu Damao up and down and said, "It's just you, what can happen?"

Xu Damao said, "I came here this time to ask you to help me cook a meal on Saturday. Of course, it's not in vain. How about giving you half a catty of tofu?"

Silly Zhu said with some surprise

"You kid is quite capable, and you can actually get tofu. But I won't go"

When Xu Wu Damao heard this, he immediately became anxious.
"You don't agree with this. This is half a catty of tofu. You know that I have spent a lot of effort to get this tofu."

Sha Zhu shook his head and said, "It's impossible for me to cook for you anyway, and I have to cook for the uncle on Saturday.

By the way, isn't there Li Lin in our yard?His cooking skills are better than mine, why don't you find him? "

Perhaps it was because Shazhu didn't cook for himself, so Xu Damao's tone was a little rushed.

"You think I don't want him to cook for me, but might he agree?"

Just kidding, Li Lin doesn't even want to cook the small stove in the factory, so how can he cook for him?
And he also heard that Li Lin basically cooks for those big leaders now.

If Li Lin could cook for himself, wouldn't his face be greatly improved.

But just thinking about it, he knew that this matter would definitely not work.

Shazhu heard this and said angrily, "He doesn't cook for you, which means I will and I will cook for you."

Wasn't Xu Damao saying that his appearance was not as good as Li Lin's?
Xu Damao explained, "The two of us have been playing together since we were young, and if I don't look for you, I will look for someone else."

Silly Zhu said angrily, "You know you and I have been playing together since childhood, so you still ruined my blind date?"

Xu Damao was at a loss for words when he heard this, and after a while he said, "Didn't you hit me with a sap in the back? This matter has already been turned over.

Now we're talking about cooking for me."

Silly Zhu said impatiently, "It's impossible for me to cook for you anyway. You must give up on that."

Xu Damao heard this and said, "Without that butcher, I can't kill pigs?

Silly, I can ask you to cook for me to save face, I don’t know how many chefs are better than you.”

Silly Zhu said with disdain, "If you have the ability, just hire a chef who is better than me."

Xu Damao left without looking back when he heard this.

Silly Zhu glanced at Xu Damao's back and said, "Who is he!"

Just when Sha Zhu was about to leave, Director Yang's secretary stopped Sha Zhu.

"Master He, the factory director wants to see you for something."

Silly Zhu said with some confusion, "What does the factory director want from me?"

Silly Zhu thought that he had not committed any crime recently.

"I don't know that"

Silly Zhu said, "Then I'll find out what's going on with me when I go and see him."

Sha Zhu came to Director Yang's office and said, "Is there anything the factory manager wants from me?"

Director Yang watched Shazhu stop his movements and said, "I heard that you are best at Sichuan cuisine."

Silly Zhu said, "You can say that."

The said Shazhu learned Tan's cuisine from his father.

However, he doesn't have many opportunities to get started, after all, the ingredients used in Tan's cuisine are very precious.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for his father to find him a chef of Sichuan cuisine.

Director Yang said, "Come with me tomorrow."

Silly Zhu said with some confusion, "You have to tell me where the factory director is going."

Director Yang said, "Go cook at a big leader's house."

Silly Zhu heard this and said, "Then I understand."

Director Yang was a little curious when he heard this and said, "What do you understand?"

Silly Zhu said, "Isn't it just relying on my cooking skills to bring you closer to the big boss?"

Factory Director Yang did not refute when he heard this, "That leader especially loves Sichuan food, so I came to you. Don't let your guard down by then."

Sha Zhu patted his chest and said, "I, Sha Zhu, dare not vouch for other aspects, but I can still vouch for this aspect of cooking."

Director Yang said, "Okay, you can go home and get ready first."

Silly Zhu said, "The factory manager, I'm leaving."

Watching the back of Silly Zhu leaving, Director Yang rubbed his temples with some headaches.

He recently heard that Deputy Factory Director Li has been trying to build relationships to get him down.

He didn't know that Deputy Director Li was worried about his position for a day or two.

But he has never been as worried as he is now. Although Deputy Director Li has a strong background, his own background is not necessarily that bad.

But now because of Li Lin, Deputy Director Li's connections are getting wider and wider, and now it has seriously affected his position.

That's why he now wants to get in touch with his former chief. After all, his chief is his direct leader.

This is also the reason why Deputy Director Li has a better background than himself, but he has not taken his position.

As long as his immediate leader is not persuaded by other people, his position will remain unchanged.

Silly Zhu was walking on the way home, and he was always thinking about Li Lin in his heart.

He really couldn't figure out why Li Lin had such great abilities.

Now people in the courtyard basically say that Li Lin is the most capable of the younger generation in the courtyard.

Not only the people in their yard said this, but also the people in their entire alley.

And all of them are regretting that Li Lin got married early. If Li Lin gets married later, they must marry Li Lin.

But Silly Zhu thought that he was not bad, so why didn't anyone hurry up to marry him?
