"Then it's not a loss for you to get married, and I didn't wait for you in vain." Yang Maixiang choked and said, these were tears of joy that the wait had finally come to an end.
This girl is a very infatuated person. If the original situation develops and Liu Hongchang has not divorced, this girl will wait for Liu Hongchang for many years.
"Okay, don't cry. I was blind before, but now I can keep my eyes open."
Compared with He Wenhui and Yang Maixiang, their appearance only has a slight advantage, but this advantage is not much. It is probably only the difference between 85 and 90 points.
In other aspects, it can be said that Yang Maixiang is far superior to He Wenhui.
But before, Liu Hongchang was dazzled by his good looks and didn't care about anything else.
"Okay, I won't cry, then you are my partner now?" It took a long time for Yang Maixiang to calm down.
"Yes, from now on, we are dating." Liu Hongchang nodded and continued:
"But Mai Xiang, the news that we are together should be kept secret for a while, and then be made public after a while."
"Why? There's nothing shameful between us?"
"I'm thinking about you. I just received the marriage certificate yesterday, and we are together today. It's easy for you to be talked about."
Originally, the divorce between Liu Hongchang and He Wenhui had no direct relationship with Yang Maixiang.
But the seamless connection was so fast that Liu Hongchang's relationship had no window of time.
This makes it look like Yang Maixiang and Liu Hongchang and He Wenhui divorced because of the interference of a third party.
People who spread rumors will not pursue the truth, but will only spread the rumors in a way that they like to hear.
"I don't care about this, do you?"
Yang Maixiang is indeed not that glass-hearted and doesn't care so much about the opinions of outsiders.
Otherwise, as a girl in this era, Yang Maixiang would not actively pursue love and spend all day running to Lao Liu's house.
"Of course I don't care, but if I can give you less trouble, I'd better do it as little as possible."
This incident had relatively little impact on Liu Hongchang.
On the issue of men and women, society is still more tolerant towards men.
After leaving a wife, he immediately found another partner.
Some people may say that Liu Hongchang is unfaithful in his marriage, cares about women, and has no responsibility for his family.
But it is inevitable that others will still be envious and jealous, saying that Liu Hongchang is capable.
After leaving the original wife, I can find another partner immediately.
"Then let it take its course. When someone asks, we will tell you. If no one asks, we will not take the initiative to publicize it."
Yang Maixiang said casually, with a really casual attitude.
After clarifying their relationship, the two of them walked away a little slower.
But the road is only so long, and there will always be a time when we finish walking and reach the downstairs of Yang's house.
"Would you like to go up and have a seat?"
When they arrived at the downstairs of Yang's house, the two people stopped, and Yang Maixiang said before going upstairs.
At this time, this sentence is relatively simple and has no hint of meaning. It is really just a matter of sitting around.
"Forget it, it's too late, so don't disturb your parents' rest." After a pause, Liu Hongchang continued:
"I haven't figured out how to face your parents as your partner. We still have to be careful in front of them."
There is actually a big problem in dating Yang Maixiang.
This trouble was caused by Liu Hongchang himself. Last year, the Yang family and the Liu family had already held an engagement banquet for the two of them.
Being "turned over" by Liu Hongchang made the whole Yang family feel embarrassed.
Yang Maixiang's parents were angry at Liu Hongchang and drove them away.
If Liu Hongchang didn't have a date with Yang Maixiang, this matter would have to be forgotten.
But Liu Hongchang approached Yang Maixiang again, so it was impossible to treat this matter as if it never happened.
"It's because of what happened last year. I will do my parents' work." After Liu Hongchang reminded him, Yang Maixiang also remembered what happened last year.
It's true that some girls are extroverted. As soon as the relationship was established, Yang Maixiang, the little cotton-padded jacket of her parents, had already begun to leak.
"Leave this matter to me. If you start attacking me now, your parents will be even more unhappy."
This matter is Liu Hongchang's responsibility, there is no need for Yang Maixiang to deal with it.
Not only did he offend the Yang family's parents, Liu Hongchang was now married for the second time.
It will definitely take some effort for the Yang parents to accept Liu Hongchang again.
After all, Yang Maixiang did not wait for Liu Hongchang to die, and when she became an older leftover woman, she did not find a partner or get married.
The Yang family's parents probably still don't know the extent of Yang Maixiang's infatuation with Liu Hongchang.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you. If not, I'll do their work myself."
"Okay, you go up, it's time for me to go back."
Liu Hongchang urged, otherwise looking at Yang Maixiang's appearance, I don't know how long it will take to say goodbye.
"Brother, when are you going to start cleaning up your house? I'll help you."
As soon as they arrived at the Second Canteen the next day, Liuzi started asking.
"Don't worry. We'll wait until the weather gets warmer. I'll definitely call you when it's time to start working."
This apprentice is not bad, he is smart and discerning, and he is really likeable.
They are completely different from the children of the He family.
The result of Liuzi's good attitude was that at noon, Liu Hongchang left all the simpler dishes to Liuzi to fry.
"Master Liu, you asked Liuzi to fry this dish. What should you do if the guests are not satisfied?" Thin Monkey asked, because he was worried about the quality of the dishes and worried that some customers would have objections.
"It won't take long for Liu Zi to cut the mounds. It's time to get on the stove and stir-fry. If there's anything I'm not satisfied with, I'm keeping an eye on it. It's not bad."
Letting Liu Zi cook is not Liu Hongchang's attempt to exploit his apprentices.
This is Liu Hongchang training his six sons. He still needs to do more work to improve his cooking skills.
Liu Hongchang helped Liu Zi prepare the dishes and guided Liu Zi in cooking. In fact, it was no easier than cooking by himself.
But without this stage of cultivation, there is no way to let go and fish in the future.
Besides, the apprentice devoted himself to Liu Hongchang.
Master Liu Hongchang also has the responsibility to teach more things.
"Master, why don't the dishes I cook taste as good as yours?"
During the lunch hour, Liuzi also took the time to ask questions. This attitude was quite correct.
Because of the existence of information barriers, it is much more difficult for people in this era to obtain knowledge than in later generations.
Therefore, the attitude towards learning, whether students or various apprentices, is much more sincere than that of later generations.
"It's because you have little experience in cooking and don't control the heat well. Let's just say you made this tofu today..."
The staff meal at noon was cooked by Liu Zi.
This was also one of the few hands-on opportunities for apprentices in the Second Canteen before.
"How about the big bone stew today?"
“The stew is pretty good.”
In fact, working in a state-owned canteen is not bad, and it can still be considered a good job.
For today's work meal, I stewed a lot of big bones.
Although cooks are no longer as popular as they used to be in the 1960s and 1970s when supplies were in short supply, making them the envy of most people.
But in the early 1980s, chefs still had their last glorious period and could still make ordinary people envious.
For ordinary people, eating meat is still a luxury, but for cooks, it can be eaten regularly.
For example, the No. 2 Canteen where Liu Hongchang works distributes various kinds of meat and oil every month.
After all, it is more convenient for an institution like a canteen to purchase these things than for an individual.
There are also often some sheep bones, beef bones, and pig bones. These things that cannot be sold at a high price are given to employees for internal processing.
"Liu Hongchang, your street police station called you and asked you to go there if you have time in the afternoon." While eating lunch, Yao Guo sent a message to Liu Hongchang:
"Have you caused any trouble again? Can you please calm down a little bit for me? If because of you, our canteen will not be rated as advanced this year, I won't be done with you?"
Regarding Liu Hongchang's unilateral cancellation of Liu Fei Chang, Yao Guofa was obviously not happy and took the opportunity to warn Liu Hongchang.
"Lao Yao, please stop talking nonsense. How could I cause trouble? Even if the police station came to find me, someone else caused me trouble. Even if the canteen is not rated as advanced, you, the director, should be blamed. What does it have to do with me, the cook?"
Don't be too nice to Yao Guofa. If you are too nice, it will be easy for Yao Guofa to push his limits.
"Director, it's not my brother who is causing trouble this time..." In order to prevent the two people from conflicting, Liuzi explained to Yao Guofa.
"If something happened at home, you didn't tell me earlier. I have a few acquaintances there. Do you need me to help you?"
If you are strong, he will be weak, if you are weak, he will be strong. After seeing Liu Hongchang's attitude and understanding the situation, Yao Guofa immediately changed his attitude.
"No, it's not me who committed the crime. What kind of care do I need?"
After eating and taking a rest, Liu Hongchang came to the police station again.
Liu Hongchang is somewhat familiar with this place.
I just came in a few months ago.
At first, because Liu Hongchang insisted on marrying He Wenhui, Wang Cuilan did not agree.
Liu Hongchang brought a lot of his things from his hometown and moved to a wooden house.
Then Wang Cuilan called the police that something was missing at home, and the police took her to the police station.
"Comrade, I am Liu Hongchang."
"Just waiting for you."
After giving his name, the middle-aged policeman from yesterday was quickly called over.
"What's the matter? The arson case, didn't we arrest someone yesterday? It's time to end it. Why do you still come here today?"
"We're not just calling you today, we're also calling the He family. We asked you to come here so that you can discuss the issue of compensation."
"compensation?"
Because he knew that the He family had no money, Liu Hongchang didn't even think about compensation.
"He Wentao burned so many things in your home, of course he needs compensation."
"Their family has no money, how can they afford compensation?" Liu Hongchang replied directly.
Liu Hongchang still knows whether the He family has any financial background.
After paying for the medical expenses of the neighbors in the hospital, the He family only had a dozen yuan left.
During this period, no wages were paid, and another year passed. The He family probably didn't even have ten yuan.
"It's because they can't afford the compensation, so they called you over to communicate." The middle-aged policeman said, "This is the house, and the He family is already waiting for you."
"Hongchang (Hongchang), you're here." After entering, He Wenhui, Yu Qiuhua and Liu Hongchang greeted them politely.
This attitude is of course very wrong. After Liu Hongchang abandoned He Wenhui and sent He Wentao to the police station, the two of them should not have been so kind to Liu Hongchang.
"coming."
Liu Hongchang responded coldly and sat down far away from the two people.
"Comrade Liu Hongchang, let me tell you about the situation again. The results of He Wentao's treatment have come out..."
This matter is easy to say, He Wenyuan's punishment has been handed down.
Arson is considered a crime of endangering public safety. He Wentao deliberately set a fire. The facts are clear and he was sent to a juvenile detention center for nine months.
Considering that it was Liu Hongchang who suffered the loss, if He Wentao could compensate Liu Hongchang for his property losses, the sentence could be reduced to half a year.
"Comrade police, can I refuse to accept compensation? I just want He Wentao to have more time to reform and receive more education from the government?"
After understanding it, Liu Hongchang asked.
I really don’t know, even though Liu Hongchang lived in this era for a long time.
But it is impossible to understand all the laws of this era.
Liu Hongchang has had nothing to do with crime for several lifetimes, and there is no need to understand this at all.
"Ahem... Comrade Liu Hongchang, it's up to the He family whether you want compensation. If they offer compensation, you have to accept it."
The middle-aged policeman was somewhat shocked by Liu Hongchang.
It can be said that in this era, everyone is not rich and is short of money.
This was the first time for a middle-aged policeman to meet Liu Hongchang's request.
"Then let's pay for it. We all know how many things were broken in my house."
These things may not seem worth much, but they all add up.
According to the market price, buying a new set will cost you two to three hundred yuan.
After all, this is a city and everything has to be bought with money, not a rural area.
If you have your own wood and find a carpenter, you can make a set of furniture, doors and windows with just a little money.
"Hongchang, you know what's going on at home. We can't afford the money..." Yu Qiuhua began to talk about the situation at home.
"Then don't compensate." Liu Hongchang said, stopping Yu Qiuhua from selling miserably, ignoring the joy on Yu Qiuhua and He Wenhui's face, Liu Hongchang continued:
"He Wenhui's monthly salary is only more than 30 yuan. If he is compensated, He Wenhui's salary will be compensated no matter what. Why do you want He Wenhui to work for nothing for three months of freedom for He Wentao?
Besides, the whole family can eat, drink, and have sex without spending money on anything. It’s impossible for you to save He Wenhui’s entire year’s salary just to help He Wentao deal with the aftermath.”
The pain of the He family comes from the fact that the He family likes to pursue things beyond their abilities.
Two or three hundred Qian and He Wentao were reformed for three more months. For a rational person, it is not difficult to choose.
"Don't say it's three months. It's my fault as a mother to let Wen Tao stay in there for one more day. Hong Chang, we just want you to discuss it. Can you give us some grace?"
Yu Qiuhua couldn't listen to Liu Hongchang's words at all, and still insisted on talking about her plan.
"Grace, how long does it take? What is your ability to repay? The family already has a deficit every month, so how can it be possible to repay this money."
