"Brother Monkey, have you forgotten that the section chief asked me to go to his office?"

Hou Jun slapped his forehead: "That's right, I completely forgot! Chef Li definitely saved all the good meat for Section Chief!"

"I have to hurry to the cafeteria, or there will probably only be soup left."

It was still early before lunch, so Chang Kun didn't rush to the section chief's office. Instead, he went to the canteen with Hou Jun.

"Damn, junior brother, we're really late! The line is already this long!" Hou Jun hurriedly grabbed his lunchbox and joined the queue.

The women in the workplace were relatively free, and they spent the whole morning discussing the mutton soup for lunch. Even though it wasn't lunchtime yet, they all rushed over to line up and wait.

"This smells amazing! It smells so good!"

"Tsk tsk, we had mutton soup today, I can brag about it for ages when I get back!"

"I heard that some workplaces can't even afford two meals a day, so we're still able to eat meat. We really have to thank Chang Kun!"

"How come Chang Kun is such a good hunter at such a young age!"

"I heard his family lives in a big compound, they must be eating stewed meat every day, slurp..."

"Stop talking, you're drooling! Look, Old Li's opened the pot lid!"

Chang Kun felt a little embarrassed listening to the female colleagues in his unit gossiping. He turned around and left, deciding to stay in the office for a while and go directly to the section chief's office later.

"Master, Uncle Zeng, what are you still doing here? The line at the cafeteria is incredibly long!"

Back in his office, Chang Kun saw Lei Guohong, Lao Zeng, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Lü just returned, leisurely sipping their tea.

"What?"

"They've already formed a queue before mealtime?"

The four of them hurriedly grabbed their lunchboxes and rushed to the cafeteria.

"Hey, Chang Kun, why aren't you going?" Xiao Yu asked, puzzled, seeing Chang Kun sitting at his desk without moving.

"Oh, the section chief asked me to come to his office at noon."

The group looked on with envy; they could eat meat without even having to wait in line.

"Xiao Kun, where's your senior brother? I haven't seen him." Lei Guohong asked.

"Brother Monkey is already in line."

"Damn it! He didn't even call us!" Xiao Lü cursed and hurriedly ran outside.

Xiao Yu turned to Lei Guohong and said, "Uncle Lei, Monkey King only cares about eating. What's the point of having this disciple...?"

Lei Guohong nodded: "Next time you beat him up, I won't stop you."

After listening to the group of people walking away noisily, Chang Kun also headed towards the section chief's office. When he reached the door, he thought for a moment and took out four wild peaches from his spatial storage.

"Section Chief, these peaches were a gift from someone. Here, have a few for you to try."

"You've got quite a lot of good stuff. Come on, let's have some hot pot."

On the desk, a small soup pot has been set up, filled with clear mutton soup, with a few pieces of scarlet charcoal underneath.

On the other side, evenly sliced ​​mutton was neatly arranged, and a pile of sheep brains was oozing blood.

Seeing Chang Kun looking at the sheep brains, Zhang Qingfeng laughed and said, "What? You like to eat brains too?"

Chang Kun waved his hand: "I'm not worthy of this. Section Chief, you should eat it yourself."

He had tried brains in his previous life and felt nothing at all. He didn't know why some people liked them so much.

The two poured themselves a small glass of wine, sipped it while eating a bite of meat, and chatted about Chang Kun's hunting trip in the mountains.

And I must say, the chef cut the pork kidneys and tenderloin to a uniform thickness, with a good balance of fat and lean meat. After blanching them in the pot, they tasted incredibly fragrant and fresh.

……

Just as Chang Kun was eating meat with gusto.

Another train pulled into the station, and Xiaoya and her family of four stood on tiptoe to look around.

"Old man, is Liwu this train?"

"This is it, Mom and Dad. Let's separate. I'll wait for you at the exit. You two go find Liwu."

Not knowing which carriage the man got off in, the woman had to have the group split up to search for him, lest they miss him.

After a while, two men in military uniforms followed the old man to the exit. One of the older men called out anxiously, "Where is Xiaoya?"

Upon seeing the man, the woman exclaimed joyfully, "Liwu, here he is!"

The man named Liwu rushed over and asked anxiously, "How is Xiaoya?"

The old man followed behind, panting, "Liwu, what's your hurry? I haven't finished speaking and you're already running away."

The woman shook the baby girl in her arms and chuckled, "Look, the little girl is all better now. Little girl, call me Daddy."

Hearing the little girl timidly call out "Dad," Li Wu looked worried and quickly picked her up, pressing his face close to her forehead. Only when he felt that she wasn't hot did he feel relieved.

"I was terrified when Dad told me that the little girl had a high fever."

"A kind person gave the little girl some medicine, and her fever subsided quickly." The woman was also a little scared; if it had been delayed any longer, who knew what might have happened.

The little girl squirmed in her father's arms, holding up a short piece of chocolate bar: "Daddy, that benefactor uncle gave me something delicious again."

The little girl couldn't bear to eat the chocolate bar, so she stuffed it into her father's mouth.

"Mmm, it's delicious. You're such a good girl." Li Wu grinned and pointed to another man who came with him. "This is your Uncle Li Jun. Call him Uncle."

The little girl glanced at the man beside her, then hugged her father's neck tightly without saying a word.

"You're so rude, little girl." Li Wu gave the little girl's bottom a light pat.

The man next to him, named Lijun, chuckled and said, "Little girl, call me uncle, and I'll buy you candy."

"Um... Uncle..." the voice said softly.

Li Jun laughed heartily: "She'll acknowledge me as her uncle just because she gets candy, this little girl..."

Holding the little girl in his arms, Li Wu turned to see his parents and wife beside him and said, "Let's go. Li Jun is also eager to go home; he hasn't even seen his little one since she was born."

The old man stopped him, saying, "Wait a minute, you haven't met your benefactor yet. They saved the little girl, so you should thank them."

Li Wu was taken aback: "Father, who is our benefactor?"

After the old man, the old woman, and the woman finished recounting what had happened, Li Wu nodded: "Our benefactor works at this station. We should go and thank him properly. If the little girl's fever lingers too long, it could really be dangerous."

"Lijun, why don't you go back first..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lijun waved his hand and said, "Brother Liwu, let's go together. I'm not in a hurry."

When the group encountered people on duty, they inquired about their benefactor. Li Wu and Li Jun were wearing military uniforms, which proved useful in this situation. They quickly learned that their benefactor's name was Chang Kun. Although he had only been working for a short time, he was already a well-known figure in the section, and almost everyone knew him.

"Chang Kun? What a coincidence! My wife's name is Chang Mei, and my brother-in-law's name is also Chang Kun," Li Jun said with a smile.

Li Wu slapped his thigh: "Oh my, so... we're all family?"

The elderly men, women, and children behind them also wore happy expressions.

Li Jun waved his hand: "My father-in-law's family lives in the countryside, so this benefactor must just have the same name as my brother-in-law."

I remember when I got married, my brother-in-law was so weak he couldn't lift a finger. How could he have transformed into a policeman working for the railway company after just over a year?
