Siheyuan: Back to 50 years ago, Shazhu joined the army

Near noon, in the cafeteria.

Originally, this was a place where only the main leaders of the steel rolling mill were qualified to eat, but this time there was one more person, and that person was naturally He Yuzhu.

This time, the table was filled with a series of delicious dishes such as pork belly, braised fish, and braised eggplant in sauce. For the first time, there was even a bottle of Maotai, which was rare on weekdays. The most senior official present was naturally the factory director Yang Kaitai. He took the initiative to stand up and toasted He Yuzhu.

"Chief He, you did a great job this time. You have perfectly solved the problem of steel theft in our steel rolling mill. As the director of the steel rolling mill, I would like to offer you a toast."

He Yuzhu was deeply moved by Yang Kaitai's gesture and immediately raised his glass to toast him.

"Director, you are too polite. This is just my job."

Yang Kaitai waved his hand.

"Chief He, that's wrong. If you hadn't solved this problem perfectly this time, if this matter had been reported to the higher-ups for accountability, not only you, but even I, the factory director, would have been in big trouble. I'm really grateful to you this time. Come and have a few more drinks."

Then Yang Kaitai changed the subject.

"But I still hope that this kind of blunder will not happen again in the future. We should strengthen the internal management of our steel mill. Do you think I am right, Deputy Director Li?"

Li Youde nodded in response when he heard Yang Kaitai's words.

"Director Yang, you are right. This is indeed my negligence in my work. I will make a personal written review. In addition, I will definitely strengthen management in the future and will never let such a thing happen again."

Seeing that the beating was almost enough, Yang Kaitai stopped making things difficult for him and started eating his meal.

The other leaders present also laughed and clinked glasses, eating and drinking.

He Yuzhu could naturally see the conflict between Yang Kaitai and Li Youde, but this was not something he should be concerned about.

.........................

With this meal, the farce of the steel theft was officially declared over, and the entire steel mill returned to its previous tranquility. However, there was still no news of the spy lurking in the steel mill.

As the truth of the steel theft case came to light, the way everyone in the courtyard looked at He Yuzhu changed.

After get off work that day, He Yuzhu went to the grain station and the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some delicious food and drinks to take home.

As soon as he entered the gate of the compound, he ran into Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai looked at the pork and chicken in He Yuzhu's hands and felt very uncomfortable.

Yesterday he was still waiting to see He Yuzhu make a fool of himself, but now this is a slap in his face. The other person is safe and sound and has become a favorite of the factory director, while he is just an ordinary fitter in the maintenance team. The gap between them is incomparable.

He Yuzhu didn't even look at Yi Zhonghai, and walked quickly towards his residence, shouting loudly as he walked: "Dad, come out quickly, come and see what good things I bought."

When He Daqing heard He Yuzhu's cry, he immediately came out from the inner room. When he saw the pork belly and old hen in He Yuzhu's hand, he was quite surprised and asked him immediately,

"Zhu Zi, what day is today? Why did you buy so many things? So extravagant?"

He Yuzhu immediately explained,

"Dad, it's nothing. Now the steel theft has been resolved. I'm very happy today. Our family of three will have a good meal tonight."

When He Daqing heard what He Yuzhu said, he didn't say anything. He took the pork and chicken he handed over and prepared to cook dinner.

After a short while, the aroma of braised pork belly and boiled old hen spread all at once, and could be smelled inside and outside the house.

It happened that Qin Huairu passed by He Yuzhu's house while holding the three-year-old Bang Geng. Bang Geng, who was born with a dog's nose, smelled the aroma of meat immediately and called out in a baby voice,

"Mom, meat, I want some meat..."

Qin Huairu naturally also smelled the aroma of meat, but this was not her home, but He Yuzhu's home. She couldn't just go in and eat for free, so she immediately planned to speed up and leave. However, the "little greedy cat" Banggeng in her arms was not happy and kept throwing tantrums.

The noise outside the house quickly attracted the attention of He Daqing who was inside. He immediately walked out of the house and was quite surprised to see that it was Jia Dongxu's wife Qin Huairu and his son Banggeng. He immediately took the initiative to ask,

"Xiao Qin, what are you two doing?"

Qin Huairu originally wanted to turn around and leave, but when she heard He Daqing asking, and looked at Bang Geng in her arms with a look of expectation, she immediately played the shameless spirit of her mother-in-law Zhang Cuihua and played the sympathy card with He Daqing.

"Uncle He, my mother and I just happened to pass by, but Banggeng insisted on holding me and wouldn't let me go, saying he wanted to eat meat. Look, this..."

He Daqing immediately understood what Qin Huairu meant when he heard this, and he changed the subject.

"Xiao Qin, since you're here, why don't you come in and have a bite together? Anyway, we cooked a lot of dishes today, and the three of us can't finish them all."

When Qin Huairu heard what He Daqing said, she was secretly happy, but she said,

"Uncle He, how can this be so embarrassing?"

He Daqing waved his hand.

"It's okay, come in."

Just as Qin Huairu was about to enter the He family to enjoy the pork feast,

An extremely discordant voice sounded at this time.

"Wait a minute!"

This voice instantly made Qin Huairu stop in her tracks. The person who made this voice was none other than He Yuzhu.

He glanced at Qin Huairu with an unfriendly look, and then asked He Daqing who was standing beside him.

"Dad, what's wrong with you? Why do you bring everyone home?"

When He Daqing heard the accusation in He Yuzhu's words, he immediately explained,

"Zhu Zi, the three of us can't finish the braised pork and stewed chicken we made tonight, so it's okay to let Xiao Qin and the others have some."

When He Yuzhu heard what He Daqing said, he immediately became unhappy and refuted his father.

"Dad, these were all bought by your son, I, with my grain coupons and meat coupons. I didn't pick them up for nothing. Qin Huairu has no relationship with our He family, so why should we let her eat them?

Besides, you just mentioned that you can't finish it. It doesn't matter if you can't finish it. We can heat it up tomorrow and have another meal with the remaining chicken and meat. What do you think?"

He Daqing was not a stupid man. On the contrary, he was a smart guy. He understood what his son meant, which was that he did not like Qin Huairu.

For this reason, he didn't know what to say, and just left a faint sentence,

"Well, you bought the meat, so we'll do what you say."
