Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 100 Performance
In the evening, after Zhou Weimin checked the small warehouse and made sure that the things inside were enough to last until his return, he slowly walked into the canteen director's office.

"Director Liang, I will take my wedding leave starting tomorrow and will come back to give you wedding candy."

Zhou Weimin took a chair and sat opposite Liang Shaoyou, grabbed a handful of melon seeds on the table and started eating them.

"Congratulations, you can get married peacefully. With Nan Yi here in the cafeteria, nothing will go wrong."

Liang Shaoyou happily put down the newspaper in his hand. There was no gift and there was no need to give one, but he could still manage the canteen so that Zhou Weimin could get married with peace of mind.

He may not have been so sure before, but after Zhou Weimin transferred Nan Yi here, he had the confidence. No matter how much trouble Sha Zhu made, there would be no trouble.

"I was just about to tell you this. I'm getting married the day after tomorrow, and I plan to ask Nan Yi to come over and cook for me tonight. Don't assign him any other tasks then."

Zhou Weimin chuckled. Even though there was no wedding banquet, it was still a wedding after all, and he still had to give his father-in-law and his family a good meal.

"Okay, I'll take care of it. I dare not refuse to entertain Director Yang."

Liang Shaoyou agreed immediately.

The factory only has so many hospitality options, so Li Huaide just needs to mention it. He doesn't have to worry about Yang Shibin, so it's not difficult to get Nan Yikong to come out for one day.

After that, he looked at Zhou Weimin and said with a smile: "Okay, if you want to leave, just leave. Don't bother me with these melon seeds. Your heart has already flown to your wife."

"Okay, I'll leave today then."

Zhou Weimin didn't waste any time, put down the melon seeds, stood up and walked out.

He came here just to clean up the mess. Liang Shaoyou had been the canteen director for so many years, so he didn't need to say much about other matters.

After thinking it over and making sure that everything that needed to be done had been done, Zhou Weimin finally went around the canteens.

At this time, except for Canteen 1 and Canteen 2 which were preparing dinner for the workers on the night shift, people in the other canteens were packing up and getting ready to go off work. Zhou Weimin just took a look to reassure himself.

However, he did not expect that he would encounter something interesting during this turn.

When Zhou Weimin came out of the second canteen and just turned a corner, he heard a familiar voice coming from the corner ahead.

"Brother Guo, my family is really having a hard time making ends meet. My child is still growing up, and my mother-in-law hasn't gotten enough food yet. Please help my family for Dongxu's sake."

"Qin Huairu, it's not that I won't help you, but you have to know that you're not the only one in the workshop who's having difficulties. If I start this, everyone else will have to rely on me in the future."

Zhou Weimin was not familiar with this voice, and had never heard it before. He thought that Qin Huairu found another scapegoat after she knew that Sha Zhu had no more entertainment to offer and her lunch box was empty.

"Just help me this time and let me get on with my life, okay? I will definitely not tell anyone."

Qin Huairu's voice had a hint of crying, but it also sounded charming.

Zhou Weimin didn't move forward, but leaned against the wall and listened to Qin Huairu's performance. He wanted to know what Qin Huairu could do at this moment.

"It's not impossible to help you, but..."

"Thank you, Brother Guo. I told you that you are a good person."

As soon as Qin Huairu finished speaking, she hurried out from the corner. Before she could put the food coupons in her pocket, she saw Zhou Weimin standing against the wall.

The man who chased her out also saw Zhou Weimin, and his face instantly turned from flushed to pale.

"Sister-in-law Jia, you are not in the workshop, why are you here in our cafeteria?"

Zhou Weimin asked with a smile, as if he hadn't heard anything. Qin Huairu was only flustered for a moment, then she immediately put on a smile and said openly, "It's Weimin. My family is in financial difficulty, and I wanted to borrow some food coupons from Deputy Director Guo. It's not good to be seen by others, so I came here."

It didn’t matter what Zhou Weimin heard. She didn’t do anything anyway. She just borrowed some food coupons.

"It's Deputy Director Zhou. I'm Guo Nianfeng from Workshop 3. I used to be the deputy workshop director of Workshop 1, and I was transferred to Workshop 3 this year. I used to have a good relationship with Dongxu, but now that Dongxu is gone, I'm just trying to take care of him as much as I can, just to show my appreciation."

Guo Dapiezi continued speaking hurriedly, fearing that Zhou Weimin would spread the news about him and Qin Huairu.

"Sister-in-law Jia's life is not easy. Deputy Director Guo is very thoughtful. I still have to go to other canteens to check, so I'll leave first."

Zhou Weimin smiled without commenting. This Guo Dapiaozi's acting skills were so bad that his thoughts were almost written on his face.

He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would burst out laughing.

"Then you are busy. I still have things to do in the workshop. It's time for me to go back."

Guo Dapiaozi breathed a sigh of relief, quickly responded with a sentence, and left in a hurry.

He didn't know whether Zhou Weimin really didn't hear it or not, but he knew it would be best to leave now.

The two passed each other and walked in two directions along the corridor, neither of them looking at Qin Huairu again.

Qin Huairu bit her lip and watched Zhou Weimin's back as he left, feeling a little uneasy.

She knew that Zhou Weimin must have heard something just now, but she could do nothing now. She just hoped that Zhou Weimin would not tell anyone about it.

Looking at the five kilograms of food coupons in her hand, Qin Huairu felt a little aggrieved. If Dongxu were in her place, she would never have suffered such a grievance.

……

In the evening, when Zhou Weibing arrived home, Zhou Weimin had already tidied the house and was cooking dinner.

Actually, there isn’t much to clean up at home, just wipe everything and tidy up the cupboards.

Guard Zhou glanced into the room and said with a smile, "Brother, you have packed everything. I was thinking of coming back to pack with you."

Zhou Weimin said without even looking up: "Wash your hands and eat. We'll have to move the tables and cabinets after dinner."

He and Jiang Qiuna will get their marriage certificate tomorrow and be officially married the day after tomorrow. It’s time to replace the new furniture.

"Well, I have something new in my room."

Guard Zhou made a joke and was about to wash his hands when he saw He Yushui pushing a bicycle into the yard.

I couldn't help but smile and greet her: "Sister Yushui, you came back early today, did you buy a bicycle?"

"It's Weibing. I borrowed my car from someone else because I have something to do tomorrow. Brother Weimin is getting married the day after tomorrow, and I don't have much money, so I bought a flower for my sister-in-law as a token of my appreciation."

He Yushui looked tired, but when she saw Zhou Weibing, she still forced a smile and took out a hairpin from her pocket and handed it to him.

Brother Wei Min had taken good care of her before, and now that he was getting married, she had to congratulate him no matter what.

But she really didn't have much money, so she could only buy some small things. Even though she felt a little embarrassed, it was still much better than not giving anything.
