Siheyuan: no worries about food and clothing at the beginning

Chapter 56 Hope
"It's rare to have a small meal today, so don't miss the two of us!"

The director of the canteen said to the director of the propaganda department in the toilet.

The director of the Propaganda Department said, "Don't worry, today I knew there was Xiao Zao, so I specially saved it.

But it would be great if Li Lin cooks this small stove. I have eaten his dish once, and I still can't forget it! "

The director of the cafeteria raised his trousers and said, "Li Lin is not willing to make small stoves for the factory now, who can do it?
Director Li has to feed him every day, for fear that he won't want to cook!
Are you done? "

The director of the Propaganda Department said, "Right away!
By the way, Director Yang is also hypocritical, what is this time?
I actually want to order food, and I want to eat spicy rabbit meat.

This rabbit has to go to the mountain to catch it, we buyers don't have the ability, isn't this embarrassing?
In comparison, our Factory Director Li is better. He never does anything to embarrass others. He will only let you do what you can do. "

The canteen director heard this and said, "I have been with Director Li for so many years, and I still know his character, and he is very generous to his own people. As long as you are useful to him, he will definitely help you up. "

The director of the Propaganda Department said, "That's true. I heard that Xu Damao hooked up with Factory Director Li recently?"

The director of the cafeteria said, "Yes, this Xu Damao is quite good at doing things. Director Li said that people like Xu Damao are best suited to charge into battle."

If Xu Damao's father-in-law hadn't greeted him, Director Li really wanted Xu Damao to be in his camp. "

The director of the Propaganda Department said, "Charging into battle sounds like a general, but if you put it badly, it's nothing more than blame.

I'm done. Let's go. "

The director of the cafeteria said, "Can you please relieve yourself faster from now on, otherwise I will have to wait for you every time!"

The director of the Propaganda Department said, "I don't want to be like this, but this is my old problem!"

When the two directors left the toilet, Zhou Lianxi appeared on a squatting pit.

Zhou Lianxi looked at the backs of the two departing directors and wondered what he was thinking.

Zhou Lianxi came to the kitchen and found Shazhu who was frying the small stove.

Silly Zhu looked at Zhou Lianxi coming to the kitchen and said with some confusion, "Isn't Lianxi already off work now? Why don't you go home yet?"

Zhou Lianxi said, "Brother Zhu, you asked me to do some easy work today. Later I heard that you were going to make a small stove, so I came back. I wanted to see if I could help you with some work that I could do." .”

Silly Zhu said, "I have everything ready, just cooking, so I don't need your help.

If you have nothing to do, you should go home as soon as possible. "

Zhou Lianxi heard this and said, "Brother Zhu, you'd better let me stay, so that we can be together when we go back."

Silly Zhu felt that he had a good sense of Zhou Lianxi, so he said, "Okay, wait until I finish cooking, and the two of us will go back together."

Hearing this, Zhou Lianxi said, "Okay."

Silly Zhu wiped his hands with a handkerchief and said, "Okay Lianxi, I've finished frying, let's go home."

Hearing this, Zhou Lianxi said, "Okay."

Sha Zhu was walking on the street with Zhou Lianxi carrying two lunch boxes.

Zhou Lianxi said curiously, "Brother Zhu, the food you brought is too much. Don't you have any objections to the leaders?"

Sha Zhu heard this and said, "How can the leaders have any opinions?

They will have to rely on me to cook the small stove in the future, which is the default rule. Besides, I can't handle much food by myself.

And I also told you that when Li Lin went out to cook for those leaders, he brought home more dishes, because those leaders are all rich and rich, and there is no shortage of food for this. "

Zhou Lianxi heard this and said, "I heard they said that Brother Lin's cooking skills are better than yours?"

Sha Zhu didn't show any anger about this matter, after all, Sha Zhu would admit that as long as others are better than him in cooking.

Because he is a person who believes in eating based on his ability.

"His cooking skills are indeed better than mine, but he only knows a few dishes.

Unlike me, I know many dishes. What I call balanced development, his is called partial science. "

Although Silly Zhu did admit that Li Lin surpassed him in cooking, he still had to regain some of his own face.

Zhou Lianxi said, "If Brother Zhu also specializes in a few dishes, he will definitely not be worse than Brother Lin."

When Shazhu heard this, he said, "I really like to hear you say this, does Lianxi drink?"

Zhou Lianxi said, "No."

Sha Zhu put his arm around Zhou Lianxi's shoulder and said
"Lianxi, brother Zhu, I saw that you will be a person who will do big things in the future. People who do big things like us must learn to drink. After all, many things will be said at the wine table in the future. Let's go home with brother , brother will take you to drink!"

Zhou Lianxi looked a little abnormal at this moment, but Sha Zhu didn't notice it.

When Silly Zhu looked at Zhou Lianxi again, Zhou Lianxi had already put on his usual honest expression.

"What's the matter? Why don't you talk? Don't you want to go drinking with your brother Zhu?"

Hearing this, Zhou Lianxi said, "Since Brother Zhu has already said so, then I must have a drink with Brother Zhu.

But Brother Zhu, this is my first time drinking. If I don’t have a great time with you, please forgive me, Brother Zhu. "

Silly Zhu heard this and said, "How could I blame you?
You have to know that I usually drink alone, but now I finally have someone who is willing to drink with me.

It's too late for me to thank you, how could I blame you? "

Shazhu's popularity in the courtyard is not very good, and the younger generation basically don't want to play with him.

And his popularity in the factory is not very good. If it weren't for the fact that Director Yang is his backer and his cooking skills are strong enough, he might have lost the position of chef long ago.

Silly Zhu took Zhou Lianxi into the yard.

Zhou Lianxi looked at the people in the yard, sat in the yard eating, and said in surprise, "The people in your yard are really harmonious."

In Zhou Lianxi's opinion, the fact that they were able to eat together during this period was enough to prove that the people in this courtyard were kind-hearted people, otherwise they would not have allowed others to take advantage of them.

If Zhou Lianxi was asked to help others selflessly, he asked himself that he couldn't do it. It was precisely because he couldn't do it that he admired such people very much.

When Sha Zhu heard this, he said, "The twists and turns, you will only understand when you experience it yourself.

Let's not talk about this. We are just here to drink. Come into the house with me. "

The third master saw a stranger brought back by Sha Zhu and said, "Si Zhu, who is this?"

How could Sha Zhu not know that the reason why the third master came here was because he had taken a fancy to the lunch box in his hand.

"Who the third master is has nothing to do with you, as long as you know, he will never cause trouble in our yard anyway."

The third master heard this and said, "That's good, but I have to criticize you today. In order to make a small stove for the leaders in the factory and ignore the people in the yard, what do you think I should do with you?"

When Sha Zhu heard this, he said, "The food I ate today is not very good, and whoever cooks it will taste the same.

And the reason why I joined in the first place was because I could eat good food, and now you seem to have not fulfilled your promise. "

The third master said, "What we were talking about at the time was that the big guys can often improve the food.

And it's not often that we eat well every day. If we eat well every day, we will definitely not be able to bear it. "

Silly Zhu felt a little familiar when he heard this, he felt as if he had heard it before.

Zhou Lianxi heard the conversation between the two and immediately understood everything. It turned out that the reason why they could eat together in this courtyard was because the food was good.

But what makes him a little curious is, can this yard still get such good food at this time?
Silly Zhu said, "Okay, I really can't refute your old argument, and don't delay my brother and I going to drink."

After saying this, Sha Zhu didn't care about the expression of the third master, but brought Zhou Lianxi to his room.

Sha Zhu looked at his dirty house and said a little embarrassedly, "You also know that I am a bachelor, so no one cleans up the house."

Zhou Lianxi said, "It's okay, Brother Zhu, let me help you clean up the two of us before drinking."

Silly Zhu felt a little embarrassed when he heard this and said, "Why is this so embarrassing?"

When Shazhu finished speaking, Zhou Lianxi had already started to tidy up the room.

Seeing this scene, Sha Zhu couldn't be idle, so he and Zhou Lianxi cleaned up the house together.

Sha Zhu looked at his clean room and said, "Lianxi, now we two can have a good drink."

Silly Zhu took out a bottle of white wine from under his bed and said, "I have never been willing to drink this bottle of wine. Although this bottle of wine is not a famous wine, I can assure you that it is absolutely delicious."

Zhou Lianxi said, "Then I have to taste how delicious this bottle of wine is."

Sha Zhu poured a glass of wine to Zhou Lianxi and said
"How about a taste?"

Zhou Lianxi took a deep breath and swallowed the wine in one gulp.

Shazhu looked at Zhou Lianxi, who was blushing, and said, "How is it?"

Zhou Lianxi said, "I just feel a burning sensation in my stomach and throat."

Silly Zhu heard this and said, "Now I believe it is indeed your first time to drink. The first time you drink, you will feel this way. You will not discover the secret until you drink too much later."

But what I'm curious about is that you are such an old man, yet you haven't touched alcohol yet? "

Zhou Lianxi said, "Normally even eating is a problem, how dare I come to buy wine."

Silly Zhu heard this and said, "How can a man not drink? The best way for us men to connect with each other is to drink.

If you want to drink, come to me. I have saved some wine when I go out for banquets these years. "

When Silly Zhu said this, he was not only pleased with Zhou Lianxi, but he also felt really bored drinking alone. Being able to drink with someone is completely different from drinking alone.

Zhou Lianxi said, "As long as Brother Zhu doesn't think it's troublesome for me, it's fine."

Silly Zhu said, "How could I find you troublesome? Come and have a drink with us."

After drinking for three rounds, both of them gradually became drunk, and the most drunk among them was not Zhou Lianxi but Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu looked at Zhou Lianxi, who was in much better condition than himself, and said, "You can do it, the first time you drink, you can be as good as me, let's have another drink!"

Zhou Lianxi no longer wanted to drink, but Shazhu forced him to drink. There was no other way, so he and Shazhu continued to drink.

After a while.

Zhou Lianxi said drunkenly, "Brother Zhu, does Director Yang of our factory like to eat rabbit meat?"

After saying this, Zhou Lianxi hiccupped.

Sha Zhu took a mouthful of the food and said drunkenly, "I really like to eat, especially the spicy rabbit meat I made.

Let me tell you, my spicy rabbit meat is definitely not worse than any dish made by Li Lin, otherwise Director Yang would not like it so much! "

Hearing this, Zhou Lianxi said, "With Brother Zhu's skill, you must be highly valued by Director Yang."

Silly Zhu patted his chest when he heard this and said

"That's right, I can tell you that Director Yang took me to cook with a big boss outside.

Moreover, the big boss had a good impression of me and asked me to help him cook when I had time. After I established a good relationship with the big boss, it would not be easy for me to become a regular employee. "

Zhou Lianxi said, "Then I will wait for the good news from Brother Zhu."

Silly Zhu said, "Come, drink."

The second uncle looked at the people in the courtyard and said

"This silly Zhu is so outrageous that he actually made everyone in the hospital wait for him."

Liu Guangtian said, "Dad, just then Guangfu and I went to Shazhu's house to call Shazhu, and found that he had drunk with someone else and had passed out. The two of them were lying on the bed with their backs stretched out to sleep, and they couldn't wake up even if they shouted. .”

The second uncle heard this and said, "If that's the case, then we don't need to wait for Silly Zhu.

The reason why everyone was called to hold a general meeting this time was because Li Lin, the third son of Li Meng's family, wanted to build a toilet in his home.

This toilet requires digging pipes, which will inevitably affect everyone's lives. It is for this reason that this hospital-wide meeting was held. "

Some people don't have any opinion on this matter. After all, Li Lin didn't fix the toilet for himself, so what does it have to do with him?
But some people can't see other people's homes in their hearts, so why can Li Lin repair the toilet to enjoy it.

So those who spoke were basically those who disagreed.

But Jia Zhang is not among them. Although Jia Zhang is indeed a shrew in the yard.

But she can still tell which families can be messed with and which ones can't.

Just like the situation of Li Lin's family, it is resolute not to provoke it.

“None of the families in our yard have built toilets in their homes.

Wouldn't Li Lin be out of place in our yard by doing this? "

"Yes, and digging pipelines will also affect us. What I hate the most is the sound of digging pipelines."

"Yes, the children at home still have to sleep. What if we disturb them by digging pipes?"

Li Lin knew that the reason why these people objected was that they didn't want him to fix the toilet.

But fortunately, his father had already discussed it with the first uncle, so it was the first uncle's turn next.

The uncle said, "I know that doing this will definitely affect the people in the yard.

But as the Li family is a member of our yard, we should also be more tolerant and tolerant.

Otherwise, when you want to do something in the future, the people in the courtyard will not support it. How will you feel at that time, so we should also think about it carefully. "

The reason why the uncle is willing to help is because Li's father promised to benefit the uncle, so the uncle speaks so hard.

Moreover, what the First Master said was very reasonable, and no one in the courtyard could refute it.

But if another family uses such an argument, then I am afraid that the people in the yard will not buy it.

Because the Li family held a very important position in the yard, if the Li family came out to stop them when they really wanted to do something in the yard in the future, it would really be impossible to proceed.

The uncle continued, "And if you also want to build a toilet like Li Lin, you can take this opportunity to propose it."

The people in the yard laughed heartily when they heard this. They must know that their house does not have as much space as Li Lin's house, and they can afford to repair a toilet.

Everyone was forced by the grand master's majesty and the family's position in the courtyard, so they did not refute again.

Seeing that no one had any problems, the first man said, "I hope that when Li Lin repairs the toilet, the people in the yard can help him more.

Okay, finally, after Li Lin thanked everyone, the whole hospital meeting came to an end. "

After Li Lin stood up and said something on the scene, the meeting of the whole hospital was over.

The next morning.

Li Lin came to the yard to wash up. After spitting out the water he used to rinse his mouth, he glanced at Zhou Lianxi who had just come out of Sha Zhu's house.

At this time, Zhou Lianxi was leaning on the door of Shazhu's house, giving people the feeling that he was very uncomfortable at this time.

After Zhou Lianxi paused for a while, he also saw Li Lin.

Zhou Lianxi came to Li Lin and said, "Brother Lin, you live in the same yard as Brother Zhu!"

Li Lin said, "What did you do with Silly Zhu last night? Why do you feel so uncomfortable?"

Zhou Lianxi smiled and said, "Isn't this yesterday Zhuge pulled me to drink with him?

And I don't know much about drinking, that's why I feel so uncomfortable now, just take it easy for a while. "

At this moment, Zhou Lianxi's stomach groaned inappropriately.

Li Lin said, "Why don't Lian Xi come to our house for dinner?"

Zhou Lianxi shook his hand when he heard this and said

"No need, Brother Lin's food is so expensive now, it's not easy for every household, how can I trouble Brother Lin?
Besides, I still owe you ten yuan that I haven’t paid back! "

Li Lin said, "It's just a meal, nothing more."

Zhou Lianxi still refused after hearing this and said, "Brother Lin, I'm going to work first."

After saying this, Zhou Lianxi hurried out of the yard without giving Li Lin a chance to speak.

Shazhu's relationship with Zhou Lianxi surged after drinking with Zhou Lianxi last night, so today Zhou Lianxi's life is very easy.

The work that was supposed to be Zhou Lianxi's was also shared among the people in the cafeteria, and the people in the cafeteria dared not speak out.

After all, the cafeteria is Shazhu's talk hall, unless a very powerful chef comes to squeeze Shazhu down.

In a blink of an eye, it was the next day.

Li Lin was riding a bicycle to work, and found a man with a similar back to Zhou Lianxi limping, and there were bloodstains on his clothes.

Li Lin accelerated his riding speed and came to this person's side, and found that it was indeed Zhou Lianxi.

Li Lin said curiously, "Zhou Lianxi, how did you become like this?"

Zhou Lianxi laughed and said, "Isn't this what happened when I went into the mountains to catch hares yesterday, and I fell like this by accident?"

In fact, Zhou Lianxi lied to Li Lin. In order to catch a hare yesterday, he went deep into the mountain. After that, he had extremely bad luck and encountered a wild boar.

Fortunately, he was lucky enough to escape, but the price was that his legs were injured and his clothes were torn.

But it was all worth it. When he sent the hare to Director Yang's house, Director Yang was very surprised and promised to make himself a full-time worker.

Li Lin asked with some doubts, "Is it because you lack food that you go hunting in the mountains?"

Zhou Lianxi said, "No, Brother Lin, I did this to become a regular."

Li Lin said with some confusion, "Become a full-time employee?"

Zhou Lianxi said, "Yes, didn't I just know that Director Yang likes to eat rabbit meat by accident?
So I thought that if I could catch the hare and send it to Director Yang, wouldn't it be possible for me to become a regular worker.

Sure enough, it's pretty much what I thought. When I sent it to Factory Manager Yang yesterday, he promised to make me a regular employee. From now on, Brother Lin, I will be a city dweller like you! "

Li Lin said, "Congratulations on being able to become a full-time employee, but it seems that your situation is not suitable for going to the factory. Do you need me to ask for a day off for you to go to the hospital for a visit?"

Zhou Lianxi said, "No, it's not like I haven't been injured like this before, and I can get over it with a little effort.

And I will be able to become a regular employee today, and I hope I can see this happen sooner. "

When Zhou Lianxi finished speaking, it could be seen that there was an expression of joy on his face that could not be concealed.

Li Lin was also infected by Zhou Lianxi's mood, "Well, I won't advise you to take leave, but you should still be able to ride on this bicycle."

Zhou Lianxi was not polite when he heard this, so he got on Li Lin's bicycle and said

"Brother Lin, after I become a full-time employee, I will definitely treat you to a big meal when the first month's salary comes down."

Li Lin rode his bicycle and said, "I don't need you to ask me, you should save your money properly, marry a wife and live a good life."

Zhou Lianxi said, "Brother Lin, I have someone I like, and she also likes me.

After I became a regular worker, I went to propose marriage to her family. "

Hearing this, Li Lin said, "That's great, I'll congratulate you here first."

Zhou Lianxi said, "Thank you Brother Lin for your congratulations, Brother Lin must come to drink my wedding wine!"

Li Lin said, "I understand."

At this moment, Li Lin saw something called hope in Zhou Lianxi.

Li Lin rode his bicycle into the factory and said

"Lian Xi, I will send you here."

Zhou Lianxi got out of the car with difficulty and said

"Thank you Brother Lin."

When Zhou Lianxi came to the kitchen, he startled the people in the kitchen.

Although Shazhu arranged the easiest job for Zhou Lianxi, Zhou Lianxi would help them after his own affairs were completed, so they still had very good senses about Zhou Lianxi.

At this time, an aunt in the cafeteria said, "Lianxi, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Lianxi smiled and said, "I accidentally fell down yesterday, so I ended up like this."

The aunt said, "You can still laugh, how can you work like this! Hurry up and ask for leave from the factory to go back to rest."

Zhou Lianxi said, "This injury is nothing to me, I have suffered more serious injuries than this.

It's just that I have difficulty moving now. I can still move my hands, so I can still work. I can't affect everyone just because I am alone. "

Liu Lan looked at Zhou Lianxi. She always felt that Zhou Lianxi was different from before. Although he was still honest and honest, his temperament was different from before.

She didn't know exactly what was different, but she knew that Zhou Lianxi was more likable at this time.

Sha Zhu walked in with a yawn, and when he saw Zhou Lianxi, he was startled and said, "What did you do yesterday? How did you become like this?"

Zhou Lianxi also told Shazhu what he said to his aunt.

Silly Zhu heard this and said, "How can you work like you are now? Why don't you go and ask for leave quickly?"

Zhou Lianxi said, "I just started working in the factory, and I don't want to leave a bad impression in the factory just because I asked for leave."

When Sha Zhu heard this, he said, "You look like this, how can the people in the factory have any gossip?"

In the end, Shazhu still couldn't persuade Zhou Lianxi.

Although Zhou Lianxi was injured, everyone found that he was more motivated than before.

Moreover, they found that the current Zhou Lianxi was more lovable than the previous Zhou Lianxi, and they didn't know why.

If Li Lin was there, he would definitely know that Zhou Lianxi is much more sincere than before, and he no longer has a deep humbleness in his bones like before.

Shazhu obviously noticed this and said, "Lianxi, why do I feel that you are different from before?"

Zhou Lianxi smiled and said, "Am I any different? It feels the same as usual."

Silly Zhu said, "Anyway, I just feel that you are different from before. Did something good happen to you?"

Zhou Lianxi said, "You can put it like this."

Silly Zhu became interested when he heard this
"What's so good?"

Zhou Lianxi sold a trick and said

"You'll surely know later."

When Shazhu heard this, he said, "You're not a friend enough. You didn't even tell me this."

At this time, Shazhu already regarded Zhou Lianxi as his friend.

Because he can not only see the shadow of himself from Zhou Lianxi, but also feel the feeling from a friend from Zhou Lianxi.

Li Lin came to the cafeteria according to the timing, because today is Friday when he makes hot and sour potato shreds for the factory.

Zhou Lianxi looked at Li Lin coming in and said, "Brother Lin is here, all the ingredients have been prepared for you."

Silly Zhu saw this scene and said jokingly, "Brother Lin kept shouting, why don't I, Brother Zhu, deserve your respect?"

Zhou Lianxi said, "No way, I respect both of you very much."

Li Lin didn't expect Zhou Lianxi's change to be so great, he became more cheerful and confident than before, and seemed to treat people more sincerely than before.

Li Lin thinks that Zhou Lianxi should have put himself in the same position as the people around him.

I no longer please others like before, so it gives people a very sincere feeling.

Li Lin left after making hot and sour potato shreds.

When Director Yang's secretary came to make hot and sour potato shreds for Director Yang, it happened that Zhou Lianxi was bringing him rice.

He felt a little baffled why this Zhou Lianxi kept smiling at him, as if he would bring him something good.

Director Yang's secretary handed the packed lunch box to Director Yang and said, "Director, I encountered a strange thing today."

Director Yang heard this and said curiously, "What strange things could you encounter? Tell me."

Factory Manager Yang's secretary said, "It's the one who delivered wild pork to our factory. When I went to cook, he kept smiling at me, as if I would bring him something good.

Don't you think it's strange? I don't have any interaction with him. Isn't he just plain sick when he smiles at me like this? "

Director Yang heard this and said, "It is true that some people are sick.

By the way, remember to ask Silly Zhu to burn the rabbit I brought from home, and I will take it home to eat. "

Director Yang's secretary heard this and said, "Slow down and I will give instructions to Shazhu."

Director Yang started to eat when he heard this.

Sha Zhu looked at Zhou Lianxi, who was obviously disappointed, and said, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhou Lianxi said, "It's nothing, I just thought of something sad."

Silly Zhu heard this and didn't ask any more questions.

Zhou Lianxi was very happy when he saw Director Yang's secretary come in and walked forward and said, "I finally got you here. Did Director Yang ask you to come?"

Director Yang's secretary felt very puzzled by Zhou Lianxi's words and said, "I'm here to pass on the words of Factory Director Yang. It seems that what I pass on has nothing to do with you?"

Zhou Lianxi said with disbelief when he heard this, "It's impossible! He clearly promised me yesterday."

Factory Manager Yang's secretary said, "I don't know who promised you yesterday, but I only know that what I said now has nothing to do with you. Sha Zhu and I will come out."
