Chapter 234

Chapter 234: Eating melons in the era (forty-six)

"Oh, although Xiao Lu made a mistake, he is still a neighbor of the same compound."

"It will be difficult for Lao Lu and his wife once he leaves!"

"I'm here to make a call, let's donate some money to the Lu family."

Fang Yaozhong is still as kind as ever. He was crushed by Gu Qingcheng's skills in the factory and went from being the boss to being the second in command.

However, in the courtyard, Fang Yaozhong has always been a highly respected man.

He took out a big unity sheet and put it on the table first.

The neighbors have different expressions.

Some people are sympathetic, some are guilty, and some are gloating.

However, no one directly opposed Fang Yaozhong's proposal.

As the saying goes, we are all neighbors and we should help each other.

After all, no one can guarantee that they will not need help from their neighbors in the future?

Also, good deeds will eventually be rewarded.

Last year, when old man Qiao was not a good man and forced his daughter-in-law to leave, all the neighbors also donated money.

At that time, none of them could have imagined that the little daughter-in-law who had been bullied by Ma to the point of wiping tears behind her back could actually turn into a technical boss in a machinery factory.

They just listened to Fang Yaozhong's suggestion, and even if they didn't like it, they followed it.

But, soon, they found that their efforts paid off.

After Gu Xiaoni became successful, she did not return the donations, but repaid them in a better way.

First, Zhou Zhendong from Mr. Zhou’s family got guidance from Gu Xiaoni and his skills improved by leaps and bounds.

In less than half a year, he stood out among the same batch of apprentices.

I heard that there will be a technical competition held on Labor Day this year, and this kid also signed up to participate.

Seeing as he is so confident, he must have some confidence.

If he wins a prize, even the lowest third prize, he can be successfully promoted from an apprentice to a first-class worker, or even a second-class worker.

How long has this guy been in the factory?

How old are you this year?

If it weren't for Master Gu, he would have survived.

There is also Widow Liu’s grandson Bai Chaomei. Although she is not an employee of the machinery factory, she is a temporary worker at the steel rolling mill next door.

However, Master Gu is so awesome that he is often invited by the steel rolling mill to provide technical guidance.

Master Gu would call Bai Chaomei every time. What else did the leader of the steel rolling mill not understand?

Bai Chaomei quickly transitioned from a temporary worker to a regular employee.

Widow Liu was so proud, "Little Nicole and I are related."

In fact, everyone in the compound knows that Master Gu takes such good care of Bai Chaomei, not because of any relatives.

But because when she was bullied by her parents-in-law and wanted to escape overnight, it was Widow Liu who took her in.

Although it was only one night, it was still a favor.

Oh, and Gu Changhe, Widow Liu’s son-in-law, is also the matchmaker between Gu Xiaoni and Qiao Jianguo.

This is another favor.

"Master Gu is a person who knows how to repay kindness. Every kindness that others treat her will be remembered in her heart."

Everyone in the courtyard has this understanding.

With "successful cases", they are willing to do good things within their capabilities!

Now, Lu Xinhua is in trouble, and his situation is not the same as Gu Xiaoni's.

After all, Gu Xiaoni was a daughter-in-law who married in from outside, while Lu Xinhua was a child that the old neighbors had seen since childhood.

In addition to a little "speculation", the neighbors are really pitiful!

"You are right! We are neighbors after all, and Hua Zi is also a good boy. However, he was confused for a moment!"

"That's right! Poor old Lu. He just lived a good life for a few days, and then——"

"My family is in difficulty, so just donate three yuan."

"I'll give you a dollar and a half!"

"Master, this is my family's eighty cents!"

The neighbors restrained their thoughts and were all affected by the donation atmosphere in the courtyard.

They thought of Lu Xinhua as a child and Lu Guofu's broken leg, and they all became sad.

This one is five yuan, that one is one yuan and five yuan.

After a round, there were actually forty-three yuan and ten cents.

The first uncle, Fang Yaozhong, and the second uncle, Zhu Jinshui, came to the Lu family's house together and handed the money to Lu Guofu with their own hands.

"Take it, this is your wish."

"From now on, you should educate Xinfeng well. If Huazi behaves well, he might be able to come back sooner!"

Lu Guofu went through ups and downs, his hair turned all white, and his whole person seemed to have lost his energy.

However, Fang Yaozhong's words still gave Lu Guofu a little light in his eyes.

Yes, he still has neighbors in the courtyard, and his daughter Lu Xinfeng, who has not yet reached the point where he can no longer survive.

Even my son will come back one day!

He cannot fall down, he must live well, raise Xinfeng, and wait for Huazi to come back!

With the encouragement of his neighbors, Lu Guofu regained his energy and kept busy with his broken leg.

Before Lu Xinhua was sent away, he and his wife went to see him off.

"Hua Zi, these food and clothes are all bought and sold by me and my neighbors. You can take them with you!"

Lu Guofu handed Lu Xinhua a big burden.

Lu Xinhua was defeated, and finally there was some fluctuation on his decadent face, "Neighbors?"

Aren’t those the best?

There are times when you are so kind?

You know, when Lu Xinhua was arrested, he not only lost his job, but the money he earned from selling his bicycles was also confiscated.

The Lu family has no money!

The baggage in my hand was heavy, and it must have contained a lot of things.

Shake it gently and you can hear the sound of glass colliding.

This should be a can.

"Shopping for and exchanging" these things is not only about favors, the key is also about money.

Money, where did it come from?

"The neighbors gave it to me! Uncle Fang called on everyone to donate money and collected more than forty yuan."

As Lu Guofu spoke, he took out a few banknotes from his pocket and said, "Take these with you in case you need them!"

From a poor family to a wealthy family, you have to bring more money with you whenever you go out, not to mention that your own son is——

Thinking of the suffering his son might have to suffer, tears rolled down Lu Guofu's eyes.

Lu Xinhua:……

His mood is very complicated.

The neighbor he thought was the best donated money to him at the critical moment.

He felt that his incompetent and cheap father could still find a way for him and give him money and things after something happened to him.

This is not a novel, but a real world of flesh and blood.

And he is not a male protagonist with an invincible aura, he is just an ordinary common man in the great era.

If you make a mistake, you will be punished!

"Hua Zi, you went there, behave well and try to come back soon!"

"Me, your mother, and Feng'er are all waiting for you."

Lu Guofu didn't know Lu Xinhua's inner feelings, so he continued to talk.

Lu Xinhua no longer had the dislike and impatience he had in the past.

The man with a broken leg in front of him is his father, a big mountain that he can rely on.

Since you are not the male protagonist, then just be a passerby.

The fire rekindled in Lu Xinhua's eyes, he nodded seriously, and said with utmost sincerity: "Dad, don't worry! I will be fine!"

Lu Xinhua left, and his story came to an end for the time being.

In the Xijiekou Hotel, Meng Yao waved the spoon, and the last shackles wrapped around her soul were quietly broken.

Meng Yao:......

She is completely back to herself!

Swish, swish, swish!

In the roaring fire of the stove, Meng Yao neatly finished the stir-fried kidneys and said, "Plate it!"

"yes!"

An apprentice worker neatly placed the plate on the counter.

Meng Yao put the dishes on the plate in twos and twos, and there was still some left at the bottom of the pot. The young apprentice licked his face and said, "Master, give me two bites of the rest!"

“Serve first!”

Meng Yao glared at the apprentice with an imposing look, but she still found a bowl, took out the remaining bits, and hid it under the stove.

When the apprentice worker saw this, he giggled twice.

Just when Meng Yao was about to raise his eyebrows and curse, the apprentice worker quickly picked up the plate and ran out quickly.

“Here comes the stir-fried kidneys!”

The young apprentice yelled and placed the stir-fried kidneys on the table of the guests who ordered.

"Hey~Master Gu, you are here!"

As soon as the dishes were put away, the young apprentice looked up and saw Gu Qingcheng.

He hurriedly greeted him, "Still table six? Still the same old rules?"

The young apprentice asked in a familiar manner while diligently helping to clean the table and pull out the stools.

Diners around:…

Xijiekou Hotel, when did this service attitude become so good?

No, I just arrived. When I walked in, I didn't receive such treatment.

Little apprentice:......

Humph, can you be like Master Gu?

Master Gu is her master's noble person.

I remember back then, the chef was so good at his craftsmanship, but he was suppressed by the hotel.

The great chef was actually treated like a handyman, worse than an apprentice.

Thanks to Master Gu, every time I come to the restaurant, I always ask his chef to cook.

Sometimes, Master Gu would bring some guests in military uniforms with him.

The master's craftsmanship was there, and all the distinguished guests were full of praise.

When people get interested, they even want to poach people.

Finally, when I called someone to ask, I found out that he was not a chef, but just an apprentice!

Facing the questioning or joking looks of those distinguished guests, the hotel manager felt embarrassed or embarrassed.

Not long after, his master Meng Yao "recruited" and became the second chef in the back kitchen.

Although he is not as good as a chef, he is already able to cook independently and can even lead apprentices.

And it was at this time that he followed the master.

Others say that the master is cruel and an unfilial white-eyed wolf.

He didn't think so.

His personal experience told him that not everyone is qualified to be a parent.

Some people are worse than animals.

Just because they are parents, can they treat their children as they please?

Why?

The gift of childbearing?

Ha, I didn’t ask you to give birth to me. What kind of favor is this?

If I could choose, I would rather not be born than be your child.

When the young apprentice thought about what happened to him, he couldn't help but feel angry.

Gu Qingcheng:......

Huh?

This little apprentice is quite interesting!

"Yeah! Old rules!"

Gu Qingcheng responded casually, preparing to wait for Meng Yao to finish his work and "eat melon", oh no, talk to his best friend.

Alas, in this era when there are not many entertainment activities, eating melon is really a good way to spend time!

In fact, I can't understand why the male protagonists or female protagonists in some period novels are so keen on going to the black market. If you really can't survive, you can understand it. But in some Siheyuan fanfics, the male protagonist either has room,

Either they have trading machines, and the key is that they all have formal jobs, but they especially like to go to the black market. In those days, speculation in the black market was illegal, and if someone failed to do so, they would be shot. Calculated to this day, it is estimated that they are like traders,

It's almost killing people, but those pig's feet are not taboo at all! I have to use my protagonist's aura to challenge the rules. Is this trying to prove something?!
