Siheyuan: It’s so nice to be Lao Liu

Just as Xu Damao turned around and walked towards the gate of the steel mill, a boy hurried out of the kitchen holding a bottle of soy sauce. Xu Damao looked closely and saw that it was Qin Huairu's son Banggeng!

It's really like searching for a needle in a haystack, but finally I got it without any effort. I was just thinking about looking for you, and you came to me directly.

After Banggeng came out of the third canteen, he swaggered out of the steel rolling mill holding a bottle of soy sauce. Because Banggeng was both a worker's family member and a child, the security personnel of the security department did not pay any attention to him.

Xu Damao followed Bang Geng to the "crime scene", and Bang Geng skillfully pulled the beggar chicken out of the fire. He looked at the chicken feathers next to it, which were almost identical to those of his own old hen. Seeing this, Xu Damao walked back directly. He had a plan in mind, and he would wait until after get off work to go back to the courtyard to ask the Jia family for money.

As it was almost time to get off work, Xu Damao was waiting for He Yuzhu outside the third canteen. As expected, He Yuzhu walked towards the entrance of the steel mill with a smile on his face, whistling, and carrying two lunch boxes.

When he was about to greet the security guard, Xu Damao ran to He Yuzhu at lightning speed and snatched the two lunch boxes from He Yuzhu. This action stunned He Yuzhu. While He Yuzhu was stunned, Xu Damao opened the two lunch boxes one by one. One lunch box contained half a chicken, and the other lunch box was full of braised pork.

Good guys!

As soon as the lunch box was opened, an enticing aroma of meat spread out. Xu Damao, the instigator, was also stunned. According to his expectation, He Yuzhu would at most cook two dishes with more meat in them. He didn't expect He Yuzhu to be so crazy.

At this time, three years of natural disasters had just passed, and the majority of people were still at the point where they could only eat coarse grains to avoid starvation. They might not be able to eat fine grains for a few meals a month, let alone meat.

But look at He Yuzhu again, two lunch boxes are considered meat!

After He Yuzhu and Xu Damao opened the lunch box, they both fell into a strange silence. After a moment of silence, Xu Damao recovered. He did not forget his plan and immediately shouted loudly: "Hurry up, Shazhu stole the public food."

The security department of this period was different from that of later generations. As the security force of a large state-owned enterprise, every security personnel was basically a veteran who had come down from the battlefield. Their combat effectiveness could be said to be top-notch. When they heard Xu Damao shouting that someone was stealing public food, they rushed over immediately.

Seeing the security guards rushing over, He Yuzhu had no intention of running away. He stood there motionless. In this day and age, if someone stole public property and tried to run away, he would deserve to be shot by the security guards.

The noise at the door immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding workers. Their love of watching the fun was fully demonstrated, and within a few breaths the place was filled with people.

Although the people are the most honest at this time, the two lunch boxes that He Yuzhu stole are too enviable. We only eat some radish and cabbage, without even a hint of meat, but you not only eat it, but also take it home. The amount of meat you take home is enough for your family to eat for several months. If this is not enviable, what else can make people jealous?

"He Yuzhu, please explain the situation. If you don't have a legitimate reason, your case will be serious." Wang Jianshe, deputy chief of the security department, said seriously. He belonged to the faction of Deputy Factory Director Li Huaide. He Yuzhu was usually loud and shouting in the cafeteria, liked to shake the spoon when serving people, and never had a good face for the security personnel. He had disliked He Yuzhu for a long time and had always wanted to find an opportunity to teach him a lesson. He didn't expect to meet him so soon.

"Chief Wang, I brought in leftovers with the approval of Director Yang. You can't arrest me." He Yuzhu replied subconsciously. He regretted it as soon as he said it. How could the things in his two lunch boxes be leftovers? He became hesitant for a moment.

"He Yuzhu, you are really good. You know how to use Director Yang to pressure me." Deputy Section Chief Wang said sarcastically with disdain, "Look at the things in your lunch box. Are these leftovers? The factory cafeteria fried potatoes and cabbage at noon today, but I didn't see any chicken or braised pork. It's obvious that you stole the ingredients from the factory and cooked for your family.

Besides, what right does Director Yang have to let you take leftovers home? The factory quota has been significantly reduced this year, and our workers don’t have enough to eat. Where do the leftovers come from? "

As Deputy Section Chief Wang is a man of Deputy Factory Director Li Huaide, he naturally doesn't get along well with Factory Director Yang. This time, He Yuzhu, such a fool, actually involved Factory Director Yang. Naturally, he will have to pay a price!

Deputy Section Chief Wang's loud question immediately aroused the response of the surrounding workers and their dissatisfaction with He Yuzhu and Director Yang. In this day and age, workers are the big brothers, and if the workers unite to report to the union, Director Yang will also be in trouble.

"Shazhu, you are a parasite in our steel mill. You stole our workers' food. Bring him to justice."

"Yes, he was brought to justice."

"......"

I don't know who started it, but it immediately aroused active responses from the surrounding workers, and they reached a consensus in a short period of time.

While everyone was demanding that He Yuzhu be brought to justice, Director Yang, Deputy Director Li and other factory leaders rushed over. They had received news that someone had stolen public property, which was a big deal.

"Deputy Section Chief Wang, what is going on?" Director Yang looked around and finally set his sights on Wang Jianshe, the deputy section chief of the security department, and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Deputy Section Chief Wang told the truth directly: "He Yuzhu, as the factory chef, stole public property and was caught on the spot by our security department."

He Yuzhu, who was standing by, was relieved when he saw Director Yang asking questions. He knew that these factory leaders needed his cooking skills to entertain guests. Even if he had done something wrong, they would not really punish him. They would definitely be biased towards him. So he said, "Director Yang, this is what you promised me. I can take away what I can't eat."

He Yuzhu was not stupid either. He simply changed the concept. In the past, Director Yang, seeing He Yuzhu's honest appearance, told He Yuzhu to take the leftovers of the workers home to eat.

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Director Yang thought that He Yuzhu was also bringing leftovers this time, so he said, "I promised He Yuzhu to take the leftovers back home. If the leftovers are left overnight, they will be inedible tomorrow."

Deputy Section Chief Wang chuckled, took He Yuzhu's two lunch boxes and opened them.

Just now when Director Yang looked around, He Yuzhu's two lunch boxes had been covered by security personnel, so he naturally did not notice the secret in the two lunch boxes.

An enticing fragrance wafted out, immediately making Director Yang and others' faces turn extremely ugly.

Director Yang cursed in his heart: "This idiot, this is just leftovers?"

Deputy Director Li smiled and said, "Director Yang, did you allow this? There must be two or three pounds of pork in there, and a chicken. I was wondering why there were few pieces of chicken in the chicken stew with mushrooms at today's reception. It turns out that it was stolen."

Deputy Director Li and He Yuzhu have a bad relationship. If he could find someone to replace him, Deputy Director Li would have kicked He Yuzhu out long ago. Although He Yuzhu cannot be kicked out of the cafeteria, he must be punished. Now Director Yang has also been implicated, which is also a small stain on him.

"He Yuzhu's behavior is extremely bad and has caused dissatisfaction among the workers. We must deal with it seriously. Director Yang, do you want to do it or should I?" Deputy Director Li said loudly to Director Yang. He wanted Director Yang to deal with He Yuzhu's matter in public and not let it go hastily.

Director Yang glanced at Deputy Director Li, then at the crowd of onlookers, and sighed inwardly, knowing that he could not shield He Yuzhu this time, so he said, "He Yuzhu, as the canteen chef, stole public property, which is quite bad. He will be fined one month's salary, and his chef level will be demoted to an apprentice. He will not be promoted within one year, and his bonus will be waived. At the same time, he will undergo labor reform and be responsible for cleaning the kitchen for one month, and the canteen director will be responsible for supervision."

This punishment is neither too severe nor too light. He Yuzhu is now an eighth-level chef with a monthly salary of 37.5 yuan and a monthly bonus of 3 yuan. As an apprentice, his salary will be reduced by 20 yuan per month, which is equivalent to a fine of more than 200 yuan. This is not the worst. The worst is the loss of reputation. In this day and age, if you lose your reputation, your whole family will not be able to hold your head up.

If this happened to someone else outside, they might get shot in serious cases.

The factory leaders took into consideration that He Yuzhu's skills were still needed and naturally would not send him to the public security or security department for detention, so they let him off the hook.

When the onlookers heard the punishment given by Director Yang, they all praised him in their hearts. They thought that Director Yang was fair and did not protect He Yuzhu too harshly just because He Yuzhu was one of their own.

Seeing that no one objected, Director Yang said, "Everyone, go away. It's not good to gather at the factory gate after get off work. The punishment for He Yuzhu will be announced on the radio tomorrow."

Afterwards, Director Yang glared at He Yuzhu and turned away.

A group of leaders also left, leaving He Yuzhu alone, looking viciously at Xu Damao, the instigator of this incident, and then turned around and left angrily.
