Chu Heng glanced at Luo Yang, turned to the annoyed Ni Yinghong and nodded, took out his and Director Lian's lunch boxes from the steamer and returned to the office.
Director Lian's meal today was pretty good. The staple food was two boxes of steamed buns, and the side dish was scrambled eggs with green onions.
In these days, the food is quite good, and it is rare to have a good meal.
But he was afraid of competition in everything. When he saw the thick layer of bacon and white rice in Chu Heng's lunch box, the old man suddenly felt that the food in the lunch box didn't smell good anymore.
"You are so extravagant, kid. If you stew such old meat with some cabbage and vermicelli, it will be enough for my whole family to eat twice without worrying about diarrhea if you eat too much." The old man instantly turned into lemon essence.
"Isn't this greedy?"
Chu Heng smiled and picked up the chopsticks, put two slices of bacon into Director Lian's lunch box, and then took out a small piece of egg: "Let's exchange with you to enrich our lunch."
This is the rule, giving meat is considered charity, and you come and go so as not to lose face.
"You have a conscience." Director Lian suddenly smiled, picked up a piece of meat and took a small bite, smacking his lips at the delicious taste.
"Director, please try the rice I brought. My mother specially gave me the scrambled eggs."
At this time, Luo Yang suddenly pushed open the door and walked in, holding an aluminum lunch box in his hand, half filled with white rice and half filled with oily scrambled eggs.
"Brother, the food is enough."
When he saw the meat in Chu Heng's lunch box, he was not polite at all. He stretched out his chopsticks and picked out three or four pieces: "Give me some."
Chu Heng glanced at him lightly, knowing that this was a provocation, but he didn't give any response and just started eating.
There is no need to conflict with him on such a trivial matter. The current situation is not clear yet. Why not show weakness to the enemy first? When the opportunity comes, give him a hard blow!
Seeing Chu Heng's silence, Luo Yang thought he was cowarded and curled his lips disdainfully. He was not doing anything extraordinary. He turned to Director Lian and asked, "Director, I want to ask you something."
"Say." Director Lian glanced at Chu Heng, who was calm and composed, and then at Luo Yang, who looked like a hairy monkey, with a weird smile on his face.
I didn’t expect that I would be able to watch a big show when I’m about to retire!
"As for the cashier Ni Yinghong, does she have a partner?" Luo Yang asked quickly.
"I heard that's not true. Do you have any ideas?" Director Lian asked with a smile.
"What an idea!" Luo Yang was overjoyed when he heard this. He took a few pieces of eggs to Director Lian with his chopsticks, turned around and walked out: "You eat, I'll leave first."
When he walked away, Director Lian, who was watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously, started to get angry: "Let me say, Xiao Chu, this guy not only wants to steal your position, but also your woman, can you bear it?"
"Don't talk nonsense, why did Ni Yinghong become my woman?" Chu Heng slowly swallowed the food in his mouth, took another sip of water, and continued: "As for who will take over your shift, I will follow the organization's arrangements.
If you let me go, I will go. If you don’t let me go, I will just continue to play with the abacus.”
"You are still playing this trick with me."
Director Lian took out his cigarette and lit it, puffing away at the smoke and saying, "I don't think that boy is good at it. He jumps up and down and doesn't do anything. He's not like your boy, who's too wilted."
"You are insulting my character!"
Chu Heng rolled his eyes at the old man, took the empty lunch box to the kitchen, washed it, put it back in his satchel, and strolled into the front room.
As soon as he came in, Sun Mei greeted warmly: "Have you eaten, Xiao Chu?"
"I just finished eating. Have you eaten, Aunt Sun?" Chu Heng said with a smile.
"I ate it when I got home, stick noodle porridge." Thinking of how her family devoured the food when she came home in the morning, Sun Mei suddenly felt grateful: "Thank you very much. Those ten kilograms of stick noodles saved my family."
life."
"Let's not talk about that. Neither of us has encountered difficulties yet. You rest and I'll buy a pack of cigarettes." Chu Heng smiled and waved his hands, and left the food store unsteadily, walking towards the non-staple food not far away.
shop.
Even though it was noon, there were a lot of people in the grocery store, but most of them were children. They didn't buy anything, so they just stood in front of the counter and watched, enjoying their time.
Chu Heng squeezed his way through the crowd to the counter, looked up at the goods on the shelves, and couldn't help but feel a sigh of relief.
After reminiscing about the years he could never go back for a while, he said to the salesperson who looked at him askance: "Here comes the big front door."
"Thirty-five cents, do you have a ticket?" The salesperson lazily stretched out her hand to him.
Chu Heng, who had known the behavior of these people, didn't care about his attitude. He took out the ticket and handed it to him, and then looked at the products on the counter.
After a while, the salesperson handed the cigarette to him.
Chu Heng immediately opened it, took out a match, lit it, and counted the various tickets on his body while smoking. After a while, he said to the salesperson: "Bring me half a catty of fruit candies, two bottles of canned peach, and some Daqu wine."
Here are two bottles, four small cakes, and two packs of preserves. Is there any pork left?"
"What time of the day is it? Where can I get meat for you? Why don't you come over in the middle of the night to buy it?" The salesperson was unhappy. It was so troublesome to take so many things at once!
Chu Heng said nothing and looked deeply at the grandson, keeping his appearance firmly in his heart.
You bastard, when I wait for you to buy food, I will lose if I give you a grain of new rice!
Seeing that he didn't answer the question, the salesperson knew that there was no chance of a quarrel, so she turned around and went to get him something. After procrastinating for more than ten minutes, she finally got the things he wanted.
Chu Heng paid the ticket quickly, picked up a few things and walked out, making the children nearby salivate.
After coming out of the grocery store, he walked not far before he ducked into an unknown alley. When he came out again, his things had been thrown into the space warehouse, and he was the only one who still had a piece of fruit candy in his mouth.
Don't tell me, this old candy is really delicious.
Eating sweets and smoking cigarettes, Chu Heng wandered back to the grain store.
There was nothing else to do in the afternoon, and all the work that needed to be done was done in the morning. Being extremely bored, he played chess with Director Lian.
The two smelly baskets were played with each other with great interest.
Just like that, it was soon time to get off work.
"It's time, no more playing, no more playing." Director Lian, who was about to lose, messed up the chess pieces and left the office with his purse without looking back.
"Can't afford to lose."
Chu Heng curled his lips, took out his account book and abacus, and waited for the cashier to reconcile the accounts.
It took him more than ten minutes to hand over the money and receipts before he packed up and left the grain store.
After returning home, he dug out the things he bought at noon and prepared to go find Chu Jianshe, the second uncle of the original owner.
He brought all the cans, half the sugar, a bottle of wine, and all the pastries and preserves. In addition, he also packed ten catties of rice and ten catties of white flour.
In this day and age, these things are already considered important gifts.
After everything was packed up, Chu Heng prepared to go out with large and small packages.
Unexpectedly, before he left home, there was suddenly a rapid sound of gongs in the middle courtyard.
There is going to be a general meeting of the whole hospital.
"There are so many things." Chu Heng put down his things helplessly, took out a cigarette, lit one, and walked out of the house slowly.
