Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

No matter how stupid Qin Huairu was, she would not let He Yuzhu be fined by the kitchen staff for giving her more food.

In her eyes, except for the monthly salary that He Yuzhu must give to Yi Zhonghai, the rest of the salary is hers.

Fining He Yuzhu is tantamount to taking money out of her pocket.

In this situation, she had only one choice, which was to accept the decision made by the canteen: the kitchen helper did not shake the spoon for her, and although the amount of food she served was much less than usual, it was still within the normal error range.

Otherwise, the kitchen staff would investigate whether He Yuzhu had given him extra food.

Being fined several days' salary for a meal is not worth it no matter how you analyze it.

He immediately replied: "Master He didn't give me more food..."

"I remember now. At that time, I asked Master He to help me get two dishes, so it was twice as much as it is now..."

After saying that, he took his lunch box and left the cafeteria window in shame.

Every time Qin Huairu bought steamed bread for herself, she would buy the one with the most wild vegetables. Only when He Yuzhu paid for it would she buy steamed bread with less wild vegetables, or even just buy steamed bread with only two grams of flour.

He Yuzhu was not at the window today, so Qin Huairu naturally bought five servings of wild vegetable steamed buns.

Qin Huairu almost spit out the steamed bread in her mouth.

The amount of wild vegetables in the steamed bread is at least twice as much as usual, and it is no exaggeration to say that it hurts the throat when eating it.

Subconsciously, I wanted to take the steamed bread to the window to ask for an explanation.

As soon as she stood up, she sat down again.

She could still clearly remember what the kitchen staff had just said: they were going to investigate He Yuzhu for giving her extra food. If she went over there and pissed them off, and they really started investigating why He Yuzhu had given her extra food, causing He Yuzhu to be fined two or three days' salary, that would be a huge loss.

Moreover, she also saw that Yi Zhonghai went to the kitchen to look for him but returned empty-handed because he had eaten some steamed buns that contained a lot of wild vegetables.

Even Yi Zhonghai, a senior fitter, couldn't get any advantage in the kitchen, let alone himself, a first-level fitter.

She could only swallow the steamed bread with a face full of grievance and unwillingness, otherwise she would be hungry in the afternoon.

But Qin Huairu didn't think that this was Wang Dong's revenge on her.

I just thought that I was unlucky and He Yuzhu was not in the cafeteria, which led to me suffering such a great injustice in the cafeteria at noon.

He felt peaceful while eating. After get off work, he blocked He Yuzhu at the gate of the steel rolling mill and insisted that he help the Jia family solve the dinner problem. It should be good, otherwise he would feel sorry for the few wild vegetable steamed buns he swallowed at noon.

…………

"Zhu Zi..." He Yuzhu had just walked out of the steel mill with a sullen expression when Qin Huairu's voice rang in his ears.

Not serving food to Qin Huairu at the cafeteria window at noon was equivalent to the two not seeing each other for the whole day, which was definitely a torture for He Yuzhu.

Hearing Qin Huairu's voice was like hearing the sound of nature, and the sullen expression on her face was instantly replaced by a smile.

He tidied his hair with his hands, pulled his clothes, and when he felt that his image was fine, he trotted towards Qin Huairu amid the surprised and amused gazes of his co-workers, speaking as he ran.

"Sister Qin..."

"I was assigned other work by the kitchen staff at noon today, so I didn't go to the window to get food. I heard that you still looked for me..."

"How's it going? I'm not in the cafeteria at noon, so no one will bully you, right?"

"If you have any, just tell me. I will punish them severely when I go to work tomorrow."

"I don't have any disciplinary action now. As long as I pass the ninth-level chef exam this year, I will be qualified to be the team leader in the kitchen. Maybe next year I will be their team leader. The kitchen assistants and apprentices will definitely not dare to offend me easily."

Hearing the word "bullying", Qin Huairu immediately showed an aggrieved expression on her face. Facing He Yuzhu's worried gaze, she said with a pitiful expression.

"Pillar……"

"No one bullied me, after all, we were in public..." "It's just that the food they served me was too little, less than half of the usual amount..."

“The wild vegetables in some of these wild vegetable steamed buns are obviously more than the wild vegetable steamed buns I usually eat.”

"I wanted to order an extra meal to bring back for Bang Geng and the others."

"The food the cafeteria gave me was only half of what you gave me. I decided to forget it. I'll go back and make some steamed bread with wild vegetables and boil some cabbage. It should be good enough for them to eat."

"What?" He Yuzhu got angry when he heard it and cursed with a frown.

"Why are you only getting this little food?"

“So is Wotou…”

"There are indeed more wild vegetables in a basket of steamed bread, but Sister Qin, you are my He Yuzhu's godparents, and we are one of them. Won't they choose some for you?"

"no……"

"I will definitely give them a good scolding tomorrow..."

"From now on, even if I'm not in the kitchen, I will make more vegetables for you, and the steamed bread should be made with the least amount of wild vegetables."

"It's absolutely outrageous."

"If anyone dares not to give me face, when I become the canteen monitor in the future, I will definitely make him do the most tiring work, and he will never be able to get ahead."

Seeing that He Yuzhu was getting angrier and angrier, Qin Huairu was afraid that he would get into trouble in the kitchen tomorrow and be fined, so she hurried to comfort him.

"Zhu Zi... please don't do anything reckless..."

"It's okay for me to suffer a little, but it would be a big loss if it affects your work."

"Today, after I served my food, I asked the kitchen helper at the counter why there were so few dishes. They told me that was the normal amount and that you usually served me too much. They also said that they would hold me accountable and fine me."

"I finally told them I had misremembered it, and I asked you to order two dishes for me before I could make it clear."

"If you go to the kitchen to cause trouble tomorrow, what if they investigate you for giving me extra food and fine you?"

An embarrassed expression immediately flashed across He Yuzhu's face.

My family knows my own business.

He Yuzhu was very clear about whether he usually gave Qin Huairu extra food.

If the kitchen staff really wanted to investigate, they would definitely find the truth.

Moreover, this kind of thing has been going on for several months. If the kitchen staff really asked him to make up for the extra food he had prepared for Qin Huairu, he might lose a month's salary.

In addition to fear, the look he gave Qin Huairu also became one of gratitude.

Sister Qin is still nice to me.

Although I didn't get him any food at noon, causing him to suffer a lot of "grievances" in the cafeteria, Sister Qin did not complain to me. Instead, she counseled me with a face full of concern and reminded me not to cause trouble in the kitchen.

I was deeply touched.

Seeing the empty lunch box in Qin Huairu's hand and the aggrieved expression on her face, the man's desire to protect her was instantly aroused, and he took out the two dollars in his pocket and handed it to Qin Huairu without hesitation.

"Sister Qin, I don't have much money on me."

"It's my fault as the godfather that I didn't get any food for Banggeng at noon."

"Take these two dollars and see if there's any food for sale in the Pigeon Market."

"I'll help you cook tonight and give Banggeng and Xiaodang a good rest." (End of this chapter)
