The beginning of Siheyuan starts with refusing to bring lunch boxes

There was no conversation that night. The next day, the same wake-up service was used. At 6:30, He Yuzhu woke He Yushui up to prepare breakfast. He Yuzhu gave him three eggs and also gave the old lady one.

The old lady seems to be in much better spirits recently due to He Yuzhu's constant feeding. Even the aunt said that Zhuzi is such a good person. Even his grandson would not be more kind than him.

After breakfast, He Yuzhu went to the steel mill with a large group of people who were going to work. As soon as they came out of the alley, they saw Yi Zhonghai waiting at the entrance of the alley. When he saw He Yuzhu, he walked over and said, "Zhuzi, let's go to work together."

"Okay, uncle, let's go together." He Yuzhu is particularly annoyed by this moral god, but in this era, people can't do things too drastically for no reason.

The two walked side by side. Yi Zhonghai said a few words casually, and then said, "Zhu Zi, I see that your conditions are getting better and better. However, even if you have good conditions, you can't be conscienceless. You must learn to be kind and do good deeds. The Jia family has only received 18 yuan subsidy from the factory every month recently. Their life is hard. You often eat meat and eggs. You must learn to take responsibility. Do you think you can..."

"cannot!"

"Uncle, I think you are getting old and confused! You are so old, don't you know that if I really do what you say, what will my reputation be? I see that you are the uncle, you have some feelings of protection for me in the past few years, and I am also grateful for the care of Auntie. I won't say anything too harsh today, but don't mention the affairs of the Jia family to me in the future, otherwise, I will let you know what it means to 'If I had known this would happen, I would not have done it in the first place'!" After saying this, He Yuzhu strode away

Yi Zhonghai kept shouting from behind, "Pillar! Pillar!"

"Yi Zhonghai is really looking for death. I have to find a chance to punish this old man. Otherwise, it's disgusting that he keeps plotting against me every day. Since what I say doesn't work, I'll find someone who can!" With an idea in mind, He Yuzhu went to work happily.

Arriving at the third canteen, He Yuzhu looked around the canteen as usual, and when he found nothing wrong, he went back to his own place to fish. As soon as he sat down, Ma Hua had already made Gao Sui, "Master, have some tea."

"Well, you continue to practice your knife skills today, Ma Hua, remember, if a chef is not good at knife skills, then he should change his career."

"I understand Master. I will try my best!"

He Yuzhu had just sat down and had a sip of tea when he saw Wang Tiande, the canteen director, coming in. Seeing He Yuzhu's life, he thought, this guy is much more comfortable than me as the canteen director.

He Yuzhu quickly put down the enamel pot and put on a smile, "Hey, the leader came to inspect, why didn't he call anyone to tell me?"

Wang Tiande pointed at He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, Zhuzi, I find that you are becoming more and more talkative."

"Then I should be punished," he said, pretending to hit himself in the mouth

"Come on, don't give me that. I have something to talk to you about. It's a private matter."

"Look at what you said. If the leader needs me to do something, just tell me. I will do it for you."

"Okay, Zhuzi, stop being so mean."

"Oh, it seems that the leader really needs me as a cook for something, or it's a personal matter, so it's something to do on the stove, right?" He Yuzhu looked at Wang Tiande with a look of congratulation.

Wang Tiande was also very surprised. Zhuzi had made great progress recently. He had actually guessed it, so he said, "Sure, Zhuzi, that's right. My youngest son is getting married this Sunday, and I want you to be the chef. Don't worry, you may not be free that day. I will follow the rules and I will not neglect you."

Wang Tiande originally did not intend to invite He Yuzhu. First, the original owner and Wang Tiande did not get along. Second, Shazhu's original level was limited, but He Yuzhu is now at a solid level of level 6. Although Wang Tiande did not know He Yuzhu's specific level, he knew that his level was not low. That's why he came to ask him what he meant.

"Look at what you said. We are family. If you still go out to find a chef, isn't this a slap in my face? I will not be able to stay in Beijing from now on! This is you looking for me. If you don't come to me, I will go to you that day if I know about this matter! Don't say that I have nothing to do. Even if I have something to do, I will refuse it!"

Wang Tiande felt relieved after hearing what He Yuzhu said. Then He Yuzhu asked, "Director, how many tables do you want? Do you want me to make a menu? Or have you already purchased the ingredients?"

"Table six, give me a menu today and I'll prepare it in the next two days"

"Okay, Director, don't worry, I'll send you the menu this afternoon, but Director..."

Wang Tiande listened and thought He Yuzhu was going to make some special request, and his heart tightened. Seeing Wang Tiande's nervousness, He Yuzhu hurriedly explained,

"Director, please don't get me wrong. What I mean is that I can't handle it alone, so I have to bring two kitchen helpers. You can ask them to bring two lunch boxes each, and then give each of them a red envelope of one dollar. As for me, I've already said that we are family, I'm just going to help."

Hearing this, Wang Tiande knew that he had misunderstood, and said, "No problem!" Wang Tiande knew that this was the rule.

"Leader, you are open-minded!"

Wang Tiande left after achieving his goal. After He Yuzhu gave instructions on the work, he went to prepare the menu and ingredients. He finished it in less than half an hour, and then asked Ma Hua to deliver it to Wang Tiande. Wang Tiande looked at the menu and was very satisfied. He put the paper in his jacket pocket and continued to work.

Recently, the quality of the big pot meals in the third canteen has improved, and is obviously higher than that of the other three canteens. Many workers are willing to come here even if they have to walk a little further. Liu Haizhong also walked a little further today to come to the third canteen. He has been eating in the first canteen, but today he came to the third canteen on purpose. One reason is to try whether the quality of the food in the third canteen is really as delicious as others say, and the other reason is that he thinks he is the second uncle of the courtyard, and Sha Zhu should give him face and do more.

Today Shazhu was in a good mood and happened to be getting his meal. Liu Haizhong saw Shazhu getting his meal and lined up with him. After a while, it was Liu Haizhong's turn. Liu Haizhong said, "Zhuzi, today Second Uncle specially came to the Third Canteen to eat for your sake."

Liu Haizhong felt that his hint was obvious and Shazhu should understand what he meant, but He Yuzhu gave Liu Haizhong the same amount of food as other workers and said, "Thank you, Uncle Er, for your support."

Liu Haizhong looked at the food in the lunch box and immediately got angry. This was clearly the same amount as for others, so wouldn’t it be in vain for me to be the second uncle?

"Zhu Zi, did you hit me too hard? I am your second uncle!"

"No, it's the same as everyone else's." He Yuzhu was also very confused. Is there something wrong with his bangs?

"Shouldn't you give me more food? After all, I am your second uncle!" Liu Haizhong's brain was not enough to begin with, and now he was angry, it was even more insufficient, so he spoke the truth directly. At this point, He Yuzhu also understood that this fat guy Liu was here to show off, so He Yuzhu raised his voice and said,

"I'm talking about Second Uncle. I know you are the Second Uncle of our courtyard." He Yuzhu emphasized the word Second Uncle.

"But the factory has regulations that everyone gets this much. If I give you more, then other workers won't be able to eat or won't be able to eat enough. This canteen belongs to the country, the workers, and the people. It's not my canteen, He Yuzhu's, nor is it your Liu Haizhong, the second uncle of our courtyard, a private canteen! You are committing a crime! And you are also inducing me to commit a crime! Second uncle, since you are a seventh-level forging master in the factory, I will pretend that I didn't hear anything today. You can take your meal and go eat."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, the workers knew that this fat guy was using the back door to get more food. The food in the third canteen was delicious, but many people couldn't get it. Now another guy came to eat more and take more. So they condemned him,

"You can't eat more than you want even if you're someone's uncle! Get out!"

……

Liu Haizhong was embarrassed and could only go to the corner to eat with his lunch box in a very shameless manner. However, at this moment, he hated He Yuzhu.

"You idiot, you don't even give me face, and you even humiliate me in front of so many people, wait and see how I'll deal with you when I get back to the yard!" Liu Haizhong thought fiercely.

Chapter 29 He Yuzhu complains to the street director Wang

At 3 pm, He Yuzhu found Wang Tiande and asked if there were any problems with the menu and the list of ingredients. Wang Tiande said there were no problems.

"Director, will there be a small meal this afternoon?"

"I didn't receive any notification, so I guess not. What's wrong?"

"Director, I have something to do and want to leave early. Is that okay with you?"

"Okay, go take care of your business first."

"Thank you, leader"

He Yuzhu arrived at the gate. It was Tian Daniu who was on duty today. "Hey, Master He, you're off work early today."

"Captain Tian, ​​I have some family matters, and I have asked for leave from our director. Would you mind checking it out?" As he spoke, He Yuzhu handed Tian Daniu a cigarette. Tian Daniu took the cigarette and said,

"Look at what you said. Since you have asked for leave, go back and do your work first."

"See you later"

"See you"

He Yuzhu found a deserted place, took out ten eggs from the space, and then took them to the Street Office. That's right, the person He Yuzhu thought of talking to Yi Zhonghai in the morning was the Street Office Director Wang Xia.

When they got to the street, they greeted the old man and said they were looking for Director Wang. The old man said it was the one on the left hand side of the door. He Yuzhu handed the old man a cigarette to express his gratitude.

Boom, boom, boom

"Please come in"

He Yuzhu pushed the door open and saw a woman in her 50s with short hair. She looked like a resolute soldier. This Director Wang, formerly known as Wang Xia, was in charge of our logistics work during the war, but she also participated in some battles and could be said to have gone through the test of blood and fire. After the establishment of the new country, she was sent to Hongxing Street to be in charge of the work of the entire street. In terms of rank, she was at the director level.

"You are... He Yuzhu?"

"Director Wang, you still remember me. I asked you for a letter of introduction ten years ago. I didn't expect you to have such a good memory," He Yuzhu smiled.

"Comrade He Yuzhu, is there any difficulty in coming to see me?" Director Wang stood up and welcomed He Yuzhu into the room and asked

"Director Wang, I do have some difficulties and need your help. I have some eggs here. Please accept them."

"Comrade He Yuzhu! How could you do this? What is our policy? We don't take even a single needle or thread from the masses. You are sending me these eggs. Aren't you making me make a mistake?" Director Wang was very angry when he saw He Yuzhu sending things. He Yuzhu was also frightened, but he reacted immediately.

"No, Director Wang, Aunt Wang, you misunderstood. I heard that your daughter-in-law had just given birth, and I asked you for help. I just wanted to send some eggs to my sister-in-law. According to the old rules here, people who are close to each other should do this. These eggs have nothing to do with what I asked you to do. Besides, you have to do it for me even if I don't give you anything. After all, it is your responsibility."

"Is that so? Fine. Auntie Wang will accept this gift. When you get married, you must notify me and I will give you a gift!" Director Wang said seriously.

"to make!"

"What do you want from me?"

He Yuzhu saw that there was no one there, and then he closed the door. Director Wang was confused by his actions, but he still waited for He Yuzhu's next words.

"Auntie Wang, it's like this. You also know that Jia Dongxu from our hospital died of a work-related injury in March."

"I know about this, what's wrong?"

He Yuzhu said with embarrassment, "Hey, after Jia Dongxu left, there were only orphans and widows left at home. Life is indeed a bit difficult, but the factory provides pensions, subsidies, and workstations. In fact, our life is better than many people. The main reason is that there is an old man in our yard, Yi Zhonghai."

"What's wrong with Yi Zhonghai? Master Yi is very capable at work and has good management skills. I remember that your courtyard has won the title of civilized courtyard five times. If nothing unexpected happens, your courtyard will still be the winner this year."

"Yes, the uncle is indeed an upright person, but he recently asked me to do something wrong, even something criminal."

"What happened? Tell me in detail." Director Wang became serious when she heard this. This was no small matter. If the appointed manager instigated the masses to commit crimes, her position as director would be over if this really happened.

"Didn't I mention the Jia family just now? The eldest uncle said that their family was in financial difficulty and asked me to bring lunch boxes from the canteen every day. Don't you think this is sucking the blood of the workers? The factory canteen is the public property of the country, the workers, and the people. Although there are occasional leftovers as welfare for canteen employees, if I bring them home every day, I will have to deduct the workers' meals. If that happens, the workers will not have enough to eat and have accidents. Tell me, can I afford this?"

"Besides, even if no accident happened, isn't it a crime to occupy public property?"

"At the same time, I am a grown man. Tell me, if I help widows every day, do I still need this reputation? How can I find a wife in the future? Tell me, isn't this old man harming me and cheating me? I have told him many times that it is not okay, but he still comes to me every day, and even repeatedly uses public opinion to pressure me at the whole hospital meeting. I have no choice but to ask you for advice."

Bang! Director Wang slammed the table, which really frightened He Yuzhu, and his body trembled violently.

"Zhu Zi, I'm not angry with you, I'm angry with Yi Zhonghai!"

"Is Yi Zhonghai really confused? How could he do this?"

Director Wang was so angry that he was walking around in circles in the office. He Yuzhu thought to himself, be angry, the angrier you are, the more trouble that old guy will cause!

"Zhu Zi, you go back and inform Yan Bugui, and ask him to organize it. I will go to your courtyard tonight to hold a general meeting! The meeting will start at 7 o'clock on time! Everyone must attend!"

"Okay, Aunt Wang, I'll go back and inform Uncle Three right away. Um, Aunt Wang, I'm going back now."

"Zhu Zi, don't worry. The street will not allow Yi Zhonghai's behavior. You can go back first."

He Yuzhu left the office, but not far away he heard Director Wang slamming the table. He Yuzhu chuckled and thought, this old man Yi Zhonghai is going to have a hard time.

He Yuzhu went to the market to buy some vegetables first, and then returned to the courtyard, where he found that Yan Laoxier had already arrived at his post. He Yuzhu greeted him, "Uncle, you are such a responsible gatekeeper."

"You pillar, you always interrupt your uncle. What did you buy? I want to hug you."

"Don't bother, it's just two onions, just two, I'll give them to you, and I'll have none left."

When Yan Bugui heard that there were only two onions, he knew that he had no chance and let He Yuzhu go.

"Oh, Uncle San, Director Wang from the street just asked me to tell you that Director Wang will come to our hospital to hold a meeting at 7 o'clock tonight, and ask you to organize it."

"Director Wang is here to hold a hospital-wide meeting? Zhuzi, give Uncle San a message, what's the matter?" Yan Bugui asked in a low voice with a gleam in his eyes.

"You will know when Director Wang comes. Bye, I'm going to cook first." Then he ran away.

Yan Bugui was still muttering as he watched He Yuzhu running away, what could Director Wang come for? Was there some new policy?

"Forget it, don't think about it, just notify as required", just turned around and found Liu Haizhong coming back angrily
