On the small road in the village, Jin Xiaomei grabbed Li Ruhai's wrist and hurriedly walked home. As she walked, she complained: "I won't come back when I go out. Look at this morning, I'm looking for you!"
"What are you looking for me for?" Li Ruhai seemed to have the word "unwilling" written all over his face. He was staggered by Jin Xiaomei. As he walked away, he said: "I didn't say anything about our family this time.
Why didn't you let me tell you what happened?"
"I didn't let you say it." Jin Xiaomei pulled Li Ruhai around a corner, looking ahead and seeing that she was almost at her home, and Zhao Jun was standing in the middle of the road.
Jin Xiaomei turned around and said to Li Ruhai: "It's your brother Jun who has trouble with you."
"Ah? Brother Jun!" Li Ruhai heard this and saw Zhao Jun walking back and forth not far ahead.
Seeing the two women approaching, Zhao Jun hurriedly greeted Li Ruhai and asked, "Where did you go this morning?"
This was just a complaint and did not require Li Ruhai to answer. After Zhao Jun finished speaking, he took Li Ruhai's wrist from Jin Xiaomei's hand, grabbed it and said to him: "Let's go, follow me!"
"Ah?" Li Ruhai was stunned and asked: "Brother Jun, what are we going to do?"
"Follow me to the forest farm." Zhao Jun said, "Go and do something!"
"I'm not going!" Li Ruhai refused on the spot, shaking his head and saying, "I still have to go to school today!"
"You can pull him down!" Zhao Jun curled his lips and dragged Li Ruhai away. Seeing this, Jin Xiaomei didn't care, turned around and went home.
It stands to reason that normal parents would not condone their children playing truant. Jin Xiaomei is also quite normal, but it is Li Ruhai who is abnormal.
This child is in the first grade of junior high school, but he doesn’t even bring his books with him every day. When he gets to school, he talks nonsense with all the teachers and students in the school.
There is nothing in Yong'an Middle School with about 200 people that he doesn't know about, and there is nothing that he doesn't want to inquire about.
Such a big thing happened last night, how could it be fun just to promote in the countryside? Li Ruhai, who didn't even eat breakfast, decided that today would be the first time in 1987 that he would not be late.
"I'm not going! I want to go to school!" After being pulled away by Zhao Jun for more than a hundred meters, Li Ruhai put his legs on the ground, lowered his buttocks, and stopped dead in his tracks. Even though Zhao Jun pulled his body forward, he
No more steps forward.
If this scene was seen by someone who didn't know, they would think that some family's financial difficulties forced their children to drop out of school.
"Oops!" Zhao Jun was helpless. He grabbed Li Ruhai with one hand to prevent him from running away, and pinched his waist with the other hand: "You still have to go to school. Why do you go to school? Don't I know?"
"Then I want to go to school too!" Li Ruhai shouted, struggling desperately.
Zhao Jun was so shocked that his ears buzzed. He grabbed Li Ruhai's arm like a tug-of-war and persuaded him: "How many people are there in your school? How many people are there in our forest farm? If you have anything to say, come to our forest farm and talk to us."
Good?"
As soon as Zhao Jun said this, Li Ruhai stopped struggling for an instant, put back his buttocks, looked at Zhao Jun and asked, "Brother Jun, can I go?"
"Why not?" Zhao Jun said with a smile: "Follow me, let's go by car!"
"Okay!" Li Ruhai nodded, broke away from Zhao Jun's hand, raised his hand and gestured forward: "Let's go!"
He is still anxious!
"Slow down!" Zhao Jun caught up with Li Ruhai and asked him: "Did you wake up early and not eat? Why don't you take a bite?"
"It's too late!" Li Ruhai said: "I didn't plan to eat today. If my mother hadn't come looking for me, I would have just left it there and gone to school."
"Then you still can't eat at noon?" Zhao Jun grabbed Li Ruhai, took out money and meal tickets from his pocket, stuffed them into Li Ruhai, then took out an aluminum lunch box from his shoulder pocket, handed it to Li Ruhai and said:
"You follow your second brother directly to their motorcade. If someone asks why your brother didn't go to work, just tell him what happened last night."
Li Ruhai didn't know everything. He just heard Li Baoyu say something to him when he was taking care of Li Baoyu this morning. Therefore, he didn't know about Zhao Youcai blackmailing Zhang Zhanshan for 500 yuan.
When Zhao Jun went to deliver the money this morning, Li Ruhai was not at home. Therefore, in his propaganda, the Zhao and Li families were completely positive.
This is the method Zhang Yuanmin came up with, asking Zhao Jun to take Li Ruhai to the forest farm, and use Li Ruhai's sharp tongue to spread the Zhang family's scandal to everyone in the forest farm.
This is much more dignified than carrying Zhang Laibao through the streets!
But Zhao Jun believes that this may not have much effect. Because Li Ruhai usually promotes in the countryside and at school. He is familiar with these people, so the topic can be developed.
But when he arrived at the forest farm, the people Li Ruhai knew were all from Yong'an Village. He didn't know most of the people in the forest farm. He couldn't drag a stranger into his arms, so he just told them.
So Zhang Yuanmin suggested that Lin Xiangshun take Li Ruhai to the motorcade first. When the people in the motorcade asked why Li Baoyu didn't come to work today, Li Ruhai could take the opportunity to interrupt.
At noon, Li Ruhai went to a cafeteria to eat again. Zhao Youcai introduced him to the staff in the kitchen, and then started talking in the kitchen and into the cafeteria.
But after Zhao Jun conveyed Zhang Yuanmin's intention to Li Ruhai, he saw that Li Ruhai had been silent, so he asked: "What's wrong with Ruhai? Isn't it possible?"
"There's nothing wrong with it." At this time, Li Ruhai looked calm and waved his hands, "It's just that this way is not good."
"What?"
Zhao Jun was startled when he heard this, and then heard Li Ruhai say: "If you want to promote him, you have to go to the Second Canteen. Isn't Zhang Zhanshan the cook of the Second Canteen? I will go to their place and promote him."
"No!" When Zhao Jun heard this, he became anxious and hurriedly pulled Li Ruhai over and said, "Ruhai, don't do this nonsense!"
You know, Zhang Zhanshan is not just the cook of the Second Canteen, he is a master chef, and the entire Second Canteen is his territory.
In the past, when Li Ruhai met Li Baoyu, it was like a mouse meeting a cat. But Li Baoyu listened to Zhao Jun, so Li Ruhai had no right to speak in front of Zhao Jun.
But at this moment, Li Ruhai, faced with Zhao Jun's doubts, raised his head slightly and said: "Brother Jun, you are good at hunting. But when it comes to publicity, it has to be me."
Zhao Jun: "..."
As he was talking, he arrived at the door of Lin Xiangshun's house. At this time, Lin Xiangshun was already waiting in the car.
He saw Zhao Jun and Li Ruhai approaching in the rearview mirror and pressed the horn twice.
In recent days, Zhao Jun has been going to the acceptance team to study, and the acceptance team is near the forest farm, so he rides with Lin Xiangshun's car every day.
Today was no exception, but because there were many things at home, Zhao Jun came out a little late. Lin Xiangshun was afraid that he would be late soon, so he honked the horn to urge Zhao Jun.
As for Li Ruhai beside Zhao Jun, Lin Xiangshun just thought he was just walking along the way.
But as soon as the passenger door opened, Li Ruhai got in first and greeted Lin Xiangshun: "Brother Shunzi."
"Ah!" Lin Xiangshun was stunned, but when he saw Zhao Jun following him, he turned his attention to Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun squeezed into the passenger seat and sat down. He closed the door and said to Lin Xiangshun, "Second brother, drive first. I'll tell you on the way."
……
Today at noon, in the No. 2 cafeteria of Yong'an Forest Farm, Zhang Zhanshan, who was full of thoughts, still took the spoon himself and made three large pots of snow red stewed tofu.
Xuelihong is a variant of mustard, also called spicy vegetable. It is grown in the Northeast. In autumn and winter, the leaves will turn purple, so it is called Xuelihong in the south, but it is called Xuelihong in the Northeast.
The leaves and stems are pickled and stewed with soybean curd, which is the tofu with pickles often seen on TV.
All old employees of Yongan Forestry Farm know that Master Zhang from the Second Canteen is a master at stewing snowy red tofu.
Moreover, Zhang Zhanshan personally pickled the snow red with his disciples. Using his special method, the snow red was salted, crispy and delicious, and paired with fragrant and tender marinated soybean tofu, this dish was made, salty
, crispy, fragrant, tender, amazing!
Under normal circumstances, forest farm team members do not come to the second canteen to get food. Because of the relationship between Lin Xiangshun and Zhao Youcai, they all go to the first canteen.
But today, Zheng Guoqiang from the team came to the second cafeteria, queued up and ordered a lunch box of snow red stewed tofu, and then ordered a steamed bun to put on the lid of the lunch box.
Zheng Guoqiang came to the corner near the door with steamed buns and vegetables, and handed them to Li Ruhai, who was sitting on a long bench.
"Thank you, Brother Zheng." Li Ruhai said sweetly and thanked Zheng Guoqiang.
Zheng Guoqiang shook his head, but still advised: "Ruhai, why don't you take the food and come to the canteen with me to eat."
Speaking of this, Zheng Guoqiang glanced at the food window on the far right, and then said to Li Ruhai: "You have talked a lot about Master Zhang's family this morning. I'm afraid he knows and it's time to deal with you." "What are you afraid of!" Li Ruhai picked up the steamed bun and stuffed it directly into his pocket. He smiled at Zheng Guoqiang and said, "Brother Zheng, you don't have to worry about me anymore. Go get some food and eat."
"Don't worry, Brother Lin gave me a beating." Although Zheng Guoqiang said so, he was really hungry. After saying goodbye to Li Ruhai, he left the second canteen and went to the first canteen.
Seeing that Zheng Guoqiang was gone, Li Ruhai put the bottom of the lunch box into the lunch box lid, then stood up and walked to the middle of the canteen where there were many people.
He came to a table and saw that five people were already sitting at the long wooden table that could accommodate six people.
Li Ruhai lowered his head and asked: "Brothers, is there anyone here?"
"There's no one around, sit down." One person answered casually, but after Li Ruhai sat down, he couldn't help but be startled when he saw Li Ruhai.
The Li family are all tall, Li Dayong is 1.8 meters tall, Li Baoyu is 1.9 meters tall. And 14-year-old Li Ruhai is also 1.6 meters tall.
His current height is not considered short at this age. But he has a childish look on his face, and anyone can tell that he is not very old.
The most important thing is that Li Ruhai still has a new face.
So, someone at the same table asked: "This little brother, are you new here?"
"Ah!" Li Ruhai responded, and before anyone else could ask any more questions, he pushed down the lunch box on the table and said with a smile: "This dish is very delicious."
"Yeah." The person opposite Li Ruhai used his chopsticks to pick up a piece of tofu, put it into his mouth, clicked his mouth twice, and then said: "Master Zhang from the Second Canteen makes this dish the best!"
"Brother, do you like to eat?" Li Ruhai asked, and then without waiting for anyone to answer, he picked up a piece of tofu with chopsticks and put it in the person's bowl. Then, he picked another piece.
The marinated soybean curd was so tender that when it fell on the chopsticks, it was split in half by the chopsticks and fell into the soup in the man's lunch box, splashing out a few drops of hot soup.
But the man was not angry at all. He smiled and said to Li Ruhai: "Little brother, you are too polite. You can eat it by yourself."
These days, some people treat soybean curd as meat at home. Li Ruhai’s lunch box contains only a few pieces of tofu.
Li Ruhai smiled when he heard this and said to this person: "This master's house had an accident last night!"
"Ah?" Li Ruhai's sudden words made several people at the table stop their chopsticks and look at Li Ruhai.
The man sitting opposite Li Ruhai glanced at the food window, and then whispered to Li Ruhai: "Little brother, you can't talk nonsense about this."
"What nonsense are you talking about? His family and I are neighbors, how can I still be blind?" Li Ruhai lowered his body, but his voice did not weaken at all, and said: "Just last night, Master Zhang's son went to someone's house to steal corn, and he almost
Let someone take a gun and kill him!"
There is a time, a place, a character, and a thrilling and exciting plot.
After Li Ruhai said these words, the people at the two tables next to him all turned their eyes.
"How can Master Zhang and his son still do this?"
"How can you still make people think you are a blind person?"
"What does it look like?"
These days, eating is a big deal.
On weekdays, the workers eat a big meal after finishing the meal. After eating, they chat in the canteen, rest for a while, and then leave after the lunch break.
Therefore, in the past, the cafeteria was relatively quiet during the first half hour of the meal. Then, it was extremely noisy for the next half hour.
But today, just ten minutes after dinner started, there was a buzz in the cafeteria, and many people were whispering and talking.
Half an hour later, the No. 2 cafeteria was a mess, and the workers were talking so loudly that they almost lifted the roof.
At this time, in the back kitchen of the cafeteria, Zhang Zhanshan and his disciples were eating together. Zhang Zhanshan frowned and asked the disciples on his left and right: "Why are you so noisy today?"
One person shook his head and said: "I don't know? Is it because the venue wants to give out some benefits, and they are all discussed here?"
"It's not like that." Another person said: "I heard what they said about Master Zhang. Master, the one they can't say is you."
"No!" Someone continued: "Nowadays, if a worker is called a master, there are more Master Zhangs in this scene, so why are you talking about our master?"
At this moment, Li Ruhai quickly walked out of the second canteen with an empty lunch box and went straight to the first canteen.
……
After Zhou Chunming was promoted to the head of the forestry farm, the Forestry Bureau assigned a production director to Yongan Forestry Farm.
Since he is the director of the production site, he must be in charge of production. Moreover, the new official's first priority in taking office is that Director Dou held a meeting with the entire dispatch team today and talked nonsense for two hours. He waited until lunch break was about to begin.
We also arranged the preparations for this year’s winter transportation production.
Because of this meeting, the entire dispatch team started their lunch break half an hour late.
Fortunately, Zhao Youcai left food for them, so that the dispatchers would not go hungry.
As team leaders and deputy team leaders, Wu Feng and Li Dayong must be at the front when serving food.
After they finished cooking, they found an empty table that was relatively clean, sat across from each other, and prepared to eat.
At this moment, Wu Feng looked behind Li Dayong, squinted his eyes, and asked, "What are those people doing?"
Li Dayong turned around and saw that there were forty or fifty people gathered in the southeast corner of the cafeteria. He listened carefully and saw someone vaguely talking about something in the crowd.
Li Dayong turned his head and smiled at Wu Feng: "Maybe it's some worker who is talking about cross talk in his spare time and is getting ready for a party."
In two days, it will be August 1st. Moreover, there are many retired soldiers in the field. On that day, Yongan Forest Farm will hold an open-air party, and there will be performances supporting the military.
As soon as Li Dayong finished speaking, he heard a snap. Then, a voice raised an octave and came clearly from the crowd.
Just listen to him say: "Just listen to the sound of a gunshot! To predict what will happen next, please listen to the next episode: The dog comes to Baoyu to steal the autumn grain at night, and the silly Baoyu loses an arm!"
