While the couple was talking, Li Xiuzhi mentioned Qin Huairu's visit to the house yesterday. Lin Jiaguo frowned upon hearing this.
"Greedy is not enough." Lin Jiaguo said. Based on his understanding of Qin Huairu, this person did not want to learn any cooking skills at all, but came here for the benefits of San Canteen.
It's not that he doesn't believe that she won't change, but just seeing her catch Silly Zhu again, Lin Jiaguo knows that she has never given up on the path she wants to take.
"Jiaguo, when you refuse, don't use harsh words." Li Xiuzhi warned, "Just because we don't help doesn't mean we have to talk about other people's pain in front of them."
"I understand." Lin Jiaguo nodded. He didn't have a quarrelsome mentality to begin with. As long as he didn't provoke himself, he could just live his life well.
At noon, Lin Jiaguo was heating water and preparing to wash the diapers of his three children. At this time, he really missed the diaper product, but the key was that he couldn't afford it even if he wanted to buy it now.
While he was busy, the first uncle Yi Zhonghai came over and saw Lin Jiaguo washing diapers. He smiled and said, "This is what a father looks like. If you help me, Xiu Zhi will feel a lot more relaxed."
Lin Jiaguo smiled and replied a few words. After he finished washing, the first uncle Yi Zhonghai said: "Jiaguo, I came here today because I wanted to ask you for a favor."
He handed over a cigarette and after they both lit it, he continued: "You also know about Sister Qin."
"With her situation, the family will definitely have a hard time in the future. After she goes back to work, won't she have to be transferred to another job? I'm thinking, you can ask her to help cook in the third canteen. They are all in the same hospital. Everyone
Please help me a little!"
Lin Jiaguo looked at First Master Yi Zhonghai, blew out a puff of smoke, then shook his head slightly and said: "First Master, I guess you also know about the full staff in the third cafeteria."
"The third canteen is full, so I can't speak. Besides, it's useless for me to ask. The right to dispatch people lies with the canteen director."
After taking another puff of cigarette, Lin Jiaguo said: "Master, if you are looking for me, you might as well look for Sha Zhu. Liu Lan in the factory has been transferred from the second canteen to the third canteen. It seems that the vacancy in the second canteen has not been filled yet."
"If you ask Silly Zhu to talk about it, the canteen director probably won't refuse."
Listening to these crisp words, the corner of Yi Zhonghai's mouth twitched, took a puff of cigarette, and said: "Jia Guo, the first uncle said it directly, aren't you valued by the leaders of the factory now? The leaders entertain guests and open small stoves.
Everything is your fault."
"They are all from the same hospital. If you, Sister Qin, can go to the third cafeteria, you can also help her. Her family is having a hard time."
Hearing this, Lin Jiaguo looked at the eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai and really thought hehe.
This guy always likes to speak from the moral high ground.
Qin Huairu's family is still having a hard time, and now most of Silly Zhu's money is probably swindled. Also, among the people of the same age in this courtyard, who is as fat as Jia Zhang? They are not puffy, but real.
.
There is also Bangge, there are several children in the hospital who are better nourished than him, and they are all like this, but they actually have the nerve to talk about it.
"Master, I really can't help with this matter." Lin Jiaguo shook his head and refused, narrowing his eyes and said: "Master, these days are not easy for every family. Sister Qin's family now not only has Silly Zhu to help, but also
With your family helping me from time to time, I can survive, don’t you think?"
Hearing this, the first uncle Yi Zhonghai felt a little embarrassed. He knew that Lin Jiaguo was trying to block him with words.
After making sure that the boy wouldn't let go, the two of them exchanged a few words, and the elder Yi Zhonghai left.
As soon as he left, Lin Jiaguo shook his head slightly. What was this big man thinking in his heart?
In the middle courtyard, after the first uncle Yi Zhonghai returned home, he suddenly looked a little depressed.
"Xiao Lin won't let go?" Auntie asked. Yi Zhonghai nodded and said what Lin Jiaguo said. After finishing speaking, he sighed: "That kid's family, who are so far away from our courtyard, will come forward."
Several families in the hospital can talk to his family."
"Then just find Silly Zhu." Aunt Ma didn't know the twists and turns. She also felt that what Lin Jiaguo said made sense. The three canteens were full, so they couldn't cram one more person in.
The corner of Yi Zhonghai's mouth twitched and he looked at Auntie. After all, he still couldn't explain some of these things clearly.
After talking to his aunt for a few words, the eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai got up and went to Jia's house. After seeing Qin Huairu, he shook his head and said softly: "He is very tight-lipped. I don't think this will be possible. You'd better ask Silly Zhu.
If you can go to the second cafeteria and have Shazhu help you, you can feel more relaxed."
After saying that, the first master Yi Zhonghai turned and left. Qin Huairu was disappointed at this time. After the only expectation in her heart was shattered, she felt a little weak and empty.
"What a heartless person." Mrs. Jia Zhang also heard it, and now she was speaking angrily with a dark face, and cursed softly: "Isn't it just a help? I don't want to help, it's all out of evil intentions."
Qin Huairu ignored her mother-in-law Jia Zhang, she just wanted to take a break now.
This road didn't work, and while she was disappointed, she also had a headache.
It seemed that after a long time, Qin Huairu took a long breath, gave it up, and went to the second cafeteria first.
After going to the Second Canteen, I was able to use my own methods to settle some of the rumors between Shazhu and her, so that Shazhu would not have the chance to go on a blind date.
Thinking of this, Qin Huairu felt much better. After looking at the sky and confirming that Sha Zhu was at home, she walked out.
…
Before I knew it, the New Year holiday passed like this, and with the expectation of a good life in the new year, I went to work when I needed to.
Qin Huairu also went to work. After she went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor only told her not to carry heavy objects with her right hand frequently, but there were no other problems.
When she arrived at the steel rolling mill, Qin Huairu did not go to the workshop, but went directly to the director's office. People who knew her along the way pointed at her when they saw her. Qin Huairu saw and heard some, but she did not say anything.
This situation was already expected by her!
In the office, after confirming Qin Huairu's position as a kitchen assistant, the director wrote a transfer certification letter, stamped it, handed it to Qin Huairu, and said: "Comrade Qin Huairu, you must be serious about your work in the future and don't neglect your duties.
Already."
Qin Huairu responded, took the transfer certificate, left the office, and went all the way to Director Wang in the cafeteria, where Si Zhu was already waiting.
Director Wang looked at Shazhu and then at Qin Huairu. He didn't say anything more, but said with a serious face: "Comrade Qin Huairu, I don't want the same thing to happen again. Do you understand?"
Being called upon again, Qin Huairu's face turned red, but she still promised to speak out.
Director Wang did not embarrass her, and after saying a few words, he let the two of them go about their business.
When they arrived at the second cafeteria, Shazhu first introduced Qin Huairu. He meant the same thing inside and out, and he had taken cover for this person.
No one said anything. Qin Huairu and the others knew that they would not talk about her again until she was really lazy.
Fatty, Shazhu's apprentice, is a very discerning person. When he heard what Shazhu said that Qin Huairu's arm injury was not completely healed, he took the initiative to introduce Qin Huairu to a lighter job. Although he was a little tired, he still
No need to move heavy things.
Seeing the fat man doing things smartly, Silly Zhu nodded and smiled, that's right. When the master has something to do, the disciple will obey him. This is what it's like to be a master.
After a few people exchanged a few words, the kitchen began to get busy. Qin Huairu also knew that she had to give everyone a good impression on the first day, so she gritted her teeth and persisted even though she was sweating profusely.
Finally, after the workers had eaten at noon, they had time to rest.
"Sister Qin, take a rest first." Shazhu said cheerfully. Qin Huairu was transferred to the second canteen, and he was the most happy one.
"Si Zhu, thank you." Qin Huairu took a sip of water and started talking to Si Zhu.
The busy day was finally over, Shazhu packed some food for Qin Huairu, and the two of them chatted and laughed before getting off work.
Just in time to see Lin Jiaguo leaving on his bicycle, Silly Zhu narrowed his eyes. How about buying a bicycle himself?
In the past, he didn't think it was necessary, and he didn't have money or tickets, but now Sister Qin commutes to get off work with him.
Thinking of this, Shazhu was moved. If he could take Sister Qin to get off work every day, then...
"Let's go, Shazhu, what are you stunned for?" Seeing Shazhu stop and freeze, Qin Huairu reminded him, Shazhu came back to his senses, and subconsciously wanted to say what he had just thought, and the words came to his mouth.
Bian, he didn't say anything.
"Walk, go home." Not to mention, after I found the bicycle ticket, I borrowed money to buy a bicycle, and then gave Sister Qin a surprise, hehe...
Qin Huairu didn't know what Sha Zhu was thinking at this time. She didn't feel very happy as she held the lunch box.
The job of helping out in the kitchen is so tiring!
This was because she was still thinking about the work arrangements that she had yet to complete. Today she saw the workload that other kitchen assistants had to do every day. When she thought about the days ahead, she subconsciously shuddered slightly.
"Sister Qin, what's wrong?" As he was walking, he saw Qin Huairu trembling, and Sha Zhu was a little confused.
"It's too cold today." Qin Huairu found an excuse to fool him.
"Then walk faster, it won't get cold when it gets hot." Qin Huairu saw the concern in Silly Zhu's eyes, and after a slight nod, the two of them walked faster.
Back in the courtyard, Qin Huairu subconsciously wanted to ask for Sha Zhu's lunch box, but when she saw the lunch box in her hand, she hurriedly shut up.
Silly Zhu didn't notice anything was wrong. At this moment, all he was thinking about was asking the elder Yi Zhonghai if he had any bicycle tickets or anything. Of course, it would be good to borrow money by the way.
The two separated. Qin Huairu looked at the lunch box in Sha Zhu's hand, opened her mouth, and finally sighed softly and went home.
When she got home, Mrs. Jia Zhang took the lunch box from her hand. After opening it, she immediately became a little dissatisfied and said, "Why did you bring so little?"
In Jia Zhang's understanding, as long as you work in the kitchen, you can fill up your brain with just a little bit of food.
"Mom, you have to give me some time to build a good relationship with those people."
Qin Huairu had no choice but to say something. Today, Sha Zhu was loading food for her, which made some people in the kitchen look at her a little bit wrong. If a kitchen helper can bring food, I am afraid that people will already have murmurs and dissatisfaction in their hearts.
Mrs. Jia Zhang snorted and said dissatisfied: "What about Silly Zhu's share? Why didn't I give it to you today?"
"He said he was too lazy to cook dinner today, so he left it for the deaf old lady." Qin Huairu said, reaching for the lunch box and preparing to heat it. Mrs. Jia Zhang listened and murmured dissatisfaction.
But it was said that Silly Zhu, after delivering food to the deaf old lady in the backyard, went directly to the first uncle Yi Zhonghai's house to inquire about the situation.
Upon hearing that Sha Zhu wanted to buy a bicycle, the first man Yi Zhonghai frowned instinctively. After asking a few questions, he found that there was something hidden in Sha Zhu's words. Looking at his chuckle, the first man Yi Zhonghai narrowed his eyes.
, I have already made some guesses in my mind.
"Okay, I'll help you ask about the bicycle tickets." Yi Zhonghai readily agreed. As long as Silly Zhu thought of Qin Huairu's good intentions, there was nothing wrong with him helping.
While the two were talking, the Lin family was also eating in the front yard. While eating, the two saw that the old lady was in a daze today.
Seeing the old lady like this, Lin Jiaguo looked at Li Xiuzhi as if asking about the situation. Li Xiuzhi shook her head, she didn't know either.
After finishing the meal, Lin Jiaguo smiled and asked: "Old lady, do you think the food is not delicious today? My cooking skills have not deteriorated."
The old lady was stunned when she heard this, and then smiled, knowing that her strangeness had been noticed by the young couple.
After thinking about it, she decided to speak up so as not to worry the young couple.
"Jiaguo, I want to take Big Fatty, Second Fatty, and Third Fatty to the Monument to the People's Heroes for a while, okay?"
There was a bit of expectation, a bit of sadness, and more of hope in her eyes.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiaguo and Li Xiuzhi were both stunned. Soon, they realized that the old lady was probably missing her relatives again.
"Okay!" Lin Jiaguo nodded solemnly. No matter what the old lady was thinking about now, he agreed.
"Xiuzhi, tomorrow you and the old lady will go there with the children, dress more seriously, put new clothes on the three fat boys, and let the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country take a look at these three fat boys."
As he said this, Lin Jiaguo's eyes were sore, but he said with a smile: "Let the heroes see the three fat boys. I think what they want to see is the happiness and happiness of us and all Chinese people."
"Okay!" Li Xiuzhi also nodded solemnly. The old lady nodded to the two of them, reached out to pick up the big fat man, and whispered in his ear.
…
The next day, Lin Jiaguo went to work. In the morning, Li Xiuzhi and the old lady put the three children in new clothes and put them in the stroller. They used a piece of cloth to block the wind and went out.
In front of Tiananmen Square, in front of the Monument to the People's Heroes, the old lady pushed her stroller closer. Li Xiuzhi stopped and did not follow the old lady.
After a while, the old lady said something, picked up the three children one by one, and said something.
"Comrade, who is this old lady?" The two policemen who happened to come over saw the old lady's tears and had already guessed something. Seeing that the old lady was older, they were afraid that something would happen to her.
Ask out loud.
Li Xiuzhi told the two people about the situation, and they looked at the old lady's back, looked at the Monument to the People's Heroes, and raised their hands in salute.
After putting down their hands, the two of them left. Now they are not worried about the old lady's physical problems, because in addition to longing and sadness, there is more hope in her heart.
After the two left, Li Xiuzhi waited for a while before the old lady came over pushing the stroller.
"Xiuzhi, let's go home." The old lady's eyes were full of hope for the future.
…
After work, Lin Jiaguo was preparing to go home as soon as possible. He was worried about the old lady, fearing that she would be depressed.
After returning to the courtyard, he opened the door and went home. He saw the old lady smiling happily and teasing the three boys. Lin Jiaguo finally smiled. It seemed that the old lady was fine.
At this time, the young couple felt that the old lady seemed to be more relaxed. They looked at each other and smiled slightly.
"Let's cook, the old lady must have a better appetite today." Lin Jiaguo smiled and was about to enter the kitchen, when there was a knock on the door.
"Jiaguo, I, Liu Shun, have something to do with you." The voice came. Lin Jiaguo was stunned and then went to open the door. What did Uncle Liu want to do with him?
The door opened and Liu Shun walked in. He first said hello to the old lady, and then smiled and said to Lin Jiaguo: "Jiaguo, I would like to help cook a few dishes tomorrow."
"Cooking?" Lin Jiaguo was a little confused. He just started working now. Has he been promoted?
That's not right, Uncle Liu has always kept a low profile, even if he gets promoted, he won't be too high-profile.
"Uncle, what's good?" Lin Jiaguo took the cigarette handed over by Uncle Liu Shun and asked with a smile.
Liu Shun smiled and shook his head and said: "I need to be transferred at work. My superiors asked me to work in a newly built factory in the south to provide technical support. I am one of the backbones and my whole family is going there."
"I'm leaving the day after tomorrow, and I wanted to have a farewell meal with you. Now that I'm gone, I don't know when I can see you again."
As he said that, he reached out and patted Lin Jiaguo's shoulder, obviously feeling a little sad about parting.
Hearing this, Lin Jiaguo suddenly felt a little sad. Uncle Liu Shun's family took good care of him. Are they leaving now?
"Okay, let's have a meal." Lin Jiaguo took a deep breath and nodded. Liu Shun patted him on the shoulder and left.
"Jiaguo, from now on, there will be fewer familiar people in this front yard." Li Xiuzhi also sighed slightly. After this separation, it will not be easy to see each other again in the future.
"This is a good thing." Lin Jiaguo took a long breath and said with a smile: "Liu Shun's welding skills are very good. He was transferred. This is because the leader values him."
"Xiuzhi, you will help my aunt pack tomorrow. This is a big move and there will definitely be a lot of things to deal with."
Li Xiuzhi nodded, knowing what Lin Jiaguo meant. Since it was a big move, there must be a lot of things that couldn't be taken away, and whether they could be taken away or not, they had to be dealt with.
"It's hard to eat Hu Yatou's pickles in the future." The old lady sighed, Lin Jiaguo and Li Xiuzhi both shook their heads and laughed. Uncle Liu Shun's wife Aunt Hu's pickle skills are really good.
It didn't take long for everyone in the courtyard to know that Liu Shun's family was moving out. When Yan Bugui, the third uncle, looked at Liu Shun's furniture, his heart suddenly moved.
Liu Shun's family, listening to the third uncle Yan Bugui's ins and outs of temptation, Liu Shun rolled his eyes, this Yan Bugui thinks about this good thing every day.
Aunt Hu also sounded a little unhappy. The relationship between their family and the third uncle's family had not reached the point where they were giving away these furniture for free.
The two originally wanted to leave it to the Lin family, but the Lin family already had the furniture.
"Xiao Yan, if you really value it, just pay for it." The old lady was talking to the children of Uncle Liu's family. When she heard the words of the third uncle Yan Bugui, she immediately spoke up.
The third uncle, Yan Bugui, was stunned when he heard this. The old lady was not used to his problems, so she said with a smile: "They say it's hard to move in three months. Hu Yatou and her family went to the south, and they have to start over. If you want these
If you pay for the furniture, you will be helping the family."
