Chapter 233: Tracking Shazhu's Great Stalk

Deputy Factory Director Li walked directly into Suning's canteen director's office, then greeted him with a smile and said, "Director He, have you heard?"

"Director Li, what did you hear?" Suning was really confused, and then looked at Deputy Director Li in confusion.

"I'm about to get promoted!"

"Ah? Congratulations to Director Li!

Now you'll truly be the director of the steel mill!" Suning tactfully congratulated Deputy Director Li.

"Haha, from now on, there will no longer be a director at the steel mill, but instead a director of the Revolutionary Committee."

"Oh? Congratulations!" Suning's heart moved. In fact, he had guessed this result a long time ago, but he just pretended to be ignorant.

"Director He, in addition to one director, the steel mill will also have eight deputy directors, so I want to promote you to deputy director of the steel mill."

"No! Director, please don't give me a promotion again!

Just being the canteen director is already very tiring for me.

Being the deputy director of a steel mill would be overestimating your abilities!"

"This..." Director Li became a little hesitant. The reason why he treated Suning so well again and again was not only because of Suning's superb cooking skills, but more because of the big leader behind Suning.

"Director Li, it is important for people to know themselves!

I'm just a cook, so there's no problem with cooking.

But if you become an important leader without knowing your own limitations, you are truly courting disaster! "

"In that case! Then forget it!

There is one more thing. Our steel mill has just received a few bottles of Erba sauce and has placed them in the warehouse.

If Director He is interested, please take two bottles home to try!"

"Oh! That's a great feeling!
I haven’t had Erba sauce in a long time, so this is a great way to satisfy my craving! ”

After the deal was done, Director Li left Suning's office with a smack. Looking at Director Li's back as he left, Suning shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

The position of deputy director of the steel rolling mill is like poison coated with honey, which is really not something Suning can afford. It would be great if he can stay in the position of canteen director for a few years safely.

Suning has never been a fan of officials, let alone in this special period. He just wants to live his life as he goes along.

Thinking of the classic Beijing Erba Sauce, which is really a luxury item nowadays, Suning couldn't help but drool and began to fantasize about the food.

Suning came to the logistics warehouse. When the warehouse manager Lao Wang saw the canteen director Suning coming, he quickly stood up and greeted him with a smile.

"Director He, are you coming to the warehouse to get the ingredients?"

"Hmm! Lao Wang, Director Li told me that our steel mill has received a few bottles of Erba sauce?"

"Yes! Yes! It's the third box on the left! You'll see it as soon as you go in."

"Well! Lao Wang, you go ahead and do your work! I'll go in and take a look!"

Looking at the wide variety of food inventory, Suning was also impressed by the strength of the factory with tens of thousands of employees. The amount of scarce food accumulated alone far exceeded that of the supply and marketing cooperatives outside.

Suning went straight to the left side of the warehouse and easily found the unpackaged Erba Sauce. Seeing that there were more than ten bottles on the shelf, Suning took two bottles without hesitation.

Suning did not intend to take the two bottles of Erba sauce secretly without anyone knowing that the warehouse manager, Lao Wang, would see it and would definitely report it to Director Li.

But this is the effect that Suning wants to achieve. Taking the Erba Sauce is a "pledge of allegiance" of some size for Director Li. If you want to work under a villain like Director Li, you must "go along with him".

When Suning turned around, he saw a large piece of beef tenderloin and a piece of pork tenderloin, which weighed at least seven or eight pounds.

Considering that Zhang Ning's family moved here from Guangdong in 1955, Zhang Ning must have spent her childhood in Guangdong, so it's a good opportunity to make barbecued pork and Guangdong's raw beef soup for her.

Because Suning has the storage space provided by the system, stealing food is as easy as taking something out of a bag, and it is impossible to be discovered by others. After all, there are no ubiquitous cameras here like in later generations.

Suning was not greedy. He used a knife to cut off about one pound of beef tenderloin and pork tenderloin respectively. He then found other ingredients and seasonings in the warehouse and put them into his own storage space.

Satisfied, Suning walked out of the tempting warehouse with two bottles of Erba Sauce. Under the watchful eyes of the warehouse manager, Lao Wang, he shook the two bottles of Erba Sauce in his hand and left the warehouse.

It is summer now, and Suning is wearing only a short-sleeved shirt on the upper body and single pants on the lower body, which is impossible to hide anything in, so the warehouse manager Lao Wang did not notice anything unusual about Suning.

After Su Ning left, the warehouse manager Lao Wang picked up the phone on the table and said, "Director Li, Director He just came to the warehouse!
He just took two bottles of Erba sauce and left!"

"Oh? Director He didn't take anything else?" Director Li's voice on the phone was a little surprised. After all, the warehouse was still very tempting.

"No! Director He was just wearing a short-sleeved shirt and pants. There's no way he could be hiding anything!"

"Well! I see!"

After hearing the busy tone, the warehouse manager Lao Wang respectfully hung up the phone. Having been with Director Li for many years, Lao Wang thought he was already Director Li's confidant, but compared with the current Suning, Lao Wang, the warehouse manager, felt a little jealous.

He has followed Director Li for so many years, but he has never dared to take anything from the warehouse, let alone being authorized to take Erba Sauce from the warehouse like Suning did today. That is something that Lao Wang dare not even think about.

Suning left the warehouse and achieved his goal. Thinking that Director Li must have known about his behavior by now, Suning put the two bottles of Erba Sauce into the storage space as soon as he returned to the office.

After work, Suning first went to the school to pick up Erdan and Sanya, and then under the jealous gaze of Banggeng, the family returned home happily.

Although Banggeng is still young, he is about to enter junior high school. He already knows everything he should know and his mind is very deep.

Banggeng, who was overflowing with jealousy, suddenly made up his mind and quietly followed Suning and the other two. He really wanted to know where Suning lived now. It would be even better if he could cause some trouble for Suning. He didn't want Suning to live too comfortably.

It was the time when students were going home from school, and Suning and the other two did not notice anything unusual behind them, so Banggeng followed them all the way home.

Banggeng was very surprised to see Suning enter a courtyard and close the gate directly, because he was used to the lifestyle in the slum, and it was impossible for ordinary people to close the gate at this time.

Now that Suning has directly closed the gate, it means that this yard belongs completely to Suning. Banggeng knows this basic common sense of life in Beijing.

After knowing the information he wanted to know, Banggeng didn't do anything else. He turned around and left, then ran home quickly.

As soon as he got home, he looked at his mother Qin Huairu breathlessly, "Mom, I finally know where Sha Zhu lives now?"

"Where?" Qin Huairu's excited voice trembled with a hint of urgency.

"It's just two streets away from our courtyard, not that far at all!
But it seems like Shazhu lives in a whole big yard!"

"What? This is impossible!"

"Mom, it's true!

As soon as Sha Zhu returned home, he turned around and closed the door.

That means his family must be the only one living there!"

After hearing Banggeng's analysis, Qin Huairu stopped talking and agreed with Banggeng's statement in her heart.

Qin Huairu was stunned and thought for a long time. The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt. She glanced at Banggeng and said, "Banggeng, go do your homework!"

Seeing Qin Huairu trying to leave, Bang Geng called out from behind, "Mom, where are you going?"

"I'm going to your great-grandfather's house next door to discuss something! I'll come back later to cook!" "Oh! Then come back quickly! I'm starving!"

Qin Huairu looked at Banggeng unhappily, turned around and walked out of the room, heading towards the house of Uncle Yi Zhonghai.

"Huairu, is there something wrong?" Yi Zhonghai was a little surprised to see Qin Huairu coming over.

"Uncle, today Banggeng saw where Shazhu lives!"

"Oh? Where do you live?"

"It's not far from our courtyard, just two streets away."

"Hey! Sha Zhu is becoming more and more selfish!

Ever since he became the canteen director, he hasn't taken us old neighbors seriously at all!"

"Yeah! I heard from Banggeng that Shazhu lives in an entire yard!"

"What? Huairu, you didn't lie to me?"

It is no wonder that Uncle Yi Zhonghai was shocked. The housing situation in the capital is really tight. Even the princes and grandchildren of the previous dynasties rarely lived in a courtyard house alone.

"Where does this idiot Zhu get his connections? Or where does he get the money?"

"Ah! Who can know? But I think He Yushui definitely knows!"

"Well! Huairu, what you said makes sense!

I'll go to Yu Shui and ask her later.

If Shazhu dares to make any mistakes, even if he moves out of our courtyard, I will not let him go easily!"

Looking at the angry old man Yi Zhonghai in front of her, Qin Huairu almost laughed out loud in her heart. This was the purpose of her trip.

Zhang Ning looked at the three people who came back together, Su Ning, and smiled sincerely, "Brother, you came back together?"

"Yeah! I'm leaving get off work early today!
I picked up Erdan and Sanya on the way!"

"Then you guys go back to the house and rest! I'll go cook!"

"I'll cook today! You just watch Erdan and Sanya do their homework!"

"Okay!" Zhang Ning felt a little embarrassed, but after looking at Su Ning in front of him, he nodded in agreement.

Suning went straight to the kitchen, took out the ingredients from the space, washed his hands and started cooking.

Although Zhang Ning helped Erdan and Sanya with their homework, her mind was all on Suning in the kitchen. She didn't like Suning being too polite to her. She had been in this house for a month or two, but Suning had never touched her.

If Suning had not proved to Zhang Ning that he was in good health, Zhang Ning would have really suspected that Suning had some hidden illness.

For such a long time, Zhang Ning, Erdan and their two siblings had been eating and sleeping all the time. They were obviously much fatter than before, which made Zhang Ning very embarrassed.

Soon the aroma coming from the kitchen attracted the attention of the two children. They kept swallowing their saliva and could no longer concentrate on their homework.

"Sister, what delicious food did my brother make? It smells so good." Erdan has been raised into a foodie by Suning.

"Hurry up and do your homework! All you do is eat all day long!" Zhang Ning gave Erdan and Sanya an unpleasant look, then got up and went to the kitchen.

"Brother, what did you cook today? It smells so good?"

"Haha, I brought some beef tenderloin and pork tenderloin from the cafeteria today!

Considering that you lived in Guangdong for a period of time, I will make barbecued pork and beef soup for you today.

Then we'll stir-fry some shredded potatoes, and for the main course we'll have white rice!"

"Brother, you are so nice to me! Thank you!" Zhang Ning looked at Su Ning with emotion.

Hearing Zhang Ning's thanks, Su Ning reached out and pinched Zhang Ning's chubby face with amusement, "Silly wife, you are my wife! You never need to say thank you!"

"Brother." Zhang Ning felt Su Ning's doting on him and hugged Su Ning emotionally.

Feeling Zhang Ning's hot body and the plumpness he had grown up to be, he realized that the two of them already had a foundation for love and he could finally start eating him.

"Zhang Ning, wait until Erdan and Sanya are asleep tonight, then come to my room!"

"Ok!"

Hearing Zhang Ning's inaudible response, Su Ning excitedly turned around, held Zhang Ning's face, and kissed her cherry lips directly.

Soon Zhang Ning collapsed in Su Ning's arms, completely falling in love with the beauty. It was a long time before the two reluctantly parted.

After a while, the barbecued pork and beef soup were ready. Suning also fried some spicy and sour potato shreds, brought the rice to the table, and the family started eating.

"Brother, what kind of dish is this? It smells so good!"

"Haha, this is the barbecued pork from your hometown in Guangdong, and the raw beef soup!

Come on, try it and see if it tastes good." Suning knew that Erdan and Sanya were both born in Beijing and had never been to Guangdong.

After hearing Suning's explanation, Erdan and Sanya could no longer suppress their appetite and started eating happily.

The two little guys were saying with their mouths drooling, "Great! Great! Really great!"

Listening to the two children's inarticulate answers, Suning and Zhang Ning both laughed happily, "Zhang Ning, you should eat quickly too!"

"Yes! Brother, you eat too!"

After tasting the delicious food from his hometown again, Zhang Ning suddenly burst into tears with excitement. "Thank you, brother! The barbecued pork you made is so delicious!"

"Silly wife! Why are you crying? It's delicious!" Suning wiped Zhang Ning's tears with a smile.

"Zhang Ning, are you missing your hometown in Guangdong?"

“No, no!

We don’t have many relatives in Guangdong anymore!

I don’t even recognize most of my former neighbors anymore!”

"Well! How about this!
I'll take you back to Guangdong when I have time!"

"Ah? Is that okay?"

"Haha, of course you can!
My job now is very easy!
Even taking a month off is no problem!"

Suning suddenly thought that the top leader might be forced to go to the south next year, so perhaps he could take Zhang Ning and her two siblings to Guangdong to have a look, which would also ease Zhang Ning's homesickness.

The family happily enjoyed a Cantonese-style meal. By the time everyone had taken a bath, Erdan and Sanya had already gone to bed.

Su Ning looked at his somewhat nervous wife, picked her up domineeringly, walked into his bedroom, and then...
