"Ye Haoran!!! What on earth do you mean!"
Yu Haitang gritted his teeth and asked Ye Haoran, who was leisurely drinking tea and reading a book. Ye Haoran, who couldn't hide, could only bite the bullet and replied: "What do I mean? It's her who wants to come to me, and it's not me who asked her. She's here, what do you mean by asking her?"
Ye Haoran didn't want the flames of war to be drawn to him, so he diverted Yu Haitang's firepower and aimed it at Lou Xiao'e.
Lou Xiao'e pinched her waist with both hands, raised her chest and raised her head and said arrogantly: "Do you care about you? My dad is a shareholder in the factory. I can come when I want. What's wrong with being next to you?"
Yu Haitang glanced down subconsciously and realized that she was really not as good as Lou Xiao'e in some aspects, but she did not show any weakness at all, and retorted sarcastically: "Oh, I have no interest in you at all, and you are still bothering me so shamelessly. So shameless."
Seeing that the anger was getting stronger and stronger, and if he didn't stop it, the two of them would start to fight. Ye Haoran quickly stood up and said: "Okay, okay, you two, please stop arguing. It's so loud that my ears are getting calloused. Let's go." Let’s go and eat.”
After saying that, he didn't look at either Yu Haitang or Lou Xiao'e, and walked out of the office without any hesitation.
In the office, only Yu Haitang and Lou Xiao'e were left, and the two lost the motivation to argue. Yu Haitang snorted coldly, turned around and left, and Lou Xiao'e followed suit not to be outdone.
When they arrived at the cafeteria, Ye Haoran heard the quarrel inside as soon as he lined up at the window. He looked down in confusion and found that the quarrel was between Silly Zhu and Director Wang of the cafeteria.
Liu Lan, who was serving the dishes, looked embarrassed and changed the subject and asked: "Chief Ye, what do you want to eat today?"
Ye Haoran pointed at the plate, and Liu Lan immediately ordered a full portion. However, Ye Haoran had no intention of leaving. Instead, he asked: "What's going on? What's going on at lunch time?" Are you still arguing?"
"Well...."
Liu Lan was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say. Director Wang happened to see Ye Haoran inside and quickly came over and said, "Chief Ye, please comment. Is there anyone like Silly Zhu?"
"What's wrong with me, what's wrong with me, ah! It's whatever you say! Believe it or not, I'm going to complain to the factory director!"
Silly Zhu didn't show any weakness at all, and started squirting at Director Wang.
Not only did Director Wang become speechless, he also sprayed spit on Director Wang's face.
Seeing that he couldn't speak, Director Wang turned around and complained to Ye Haoran: "Chief Ye, I won't say anything else when this guy Si Zhu usually brings food and food. The meat he cooked today was two taels short, and he didn't eat it." Instead, the pot put raw meat in the lunch box, do you think there is such a thing?"
"Hey, hey, hey! Director Wang, what you said is wrong. I haven't brought it home yet. I put it in the lunch box to avoid letting flies crawl on it. Why are you doing this?"
In front of Ye Haoran, Shazhu really didn't dare to blatantly take things from the factory, so he was ready to find an excuse to fool him.
But Ye Haoran is not stupid, how could he be casually put off by Silly Zhu with just a few words.
It has been more than a year since Silly Zhu was last caught. Although he often brought food to the house later, he was always hiding from people in the security department. Although his courage has returned, he is still a little bit averse to Ye Haoran. Fearful.
Yu Haitang and Lou Xiao'e were following Ye Haoran. Seeing that Silly Zhu was still quibbling, Yu Haitang stood up immediately.
"Comrade He Yuzhu, I'm not talking about you. Have you forgotten the last time the whole factory was criticized? Why do you have such a short memory?"
"Hey, I'm talking about you little girl, what do you know? You're just making noise right here."
Although Yu Haitang is very talkative and well-educated, he can't deal with a fool like Silly Zhu. Typically, as long as I don't have quality, others can't finish talking about my low quality.
'Snapped'
Ye Haoran threw the lunch box on the table, and Yu Haitang was so frightened that she quickly hid behind Ye Haoran.
Several people argued for a long time, and Ye Haoran finally said softly: "Silly Zhu, I'm not telling you, even if you don't want to take the public property, is this the reason for your quarrel?"
After talking about Silly Zhu, he turned to Director Wang and said: "Director Wang, you are the same. You know that Silly Zhu is a fool and you still argue with him. Isn't it uncomfortable? You can keep an eye on him. If there is sufficient evidence, You can also report it to the Security Department, your duty is to manage the canteen, not to pick on anyone."
It is not yet the time when bureaucracy is prevalent. Farmer brothers and worker brothers are the backbone of society, so Ye Haoran will pay attention to the way he speaks to avoid being caught.
After each playing fifty boards, Director Wang and Silly Zhu stopped.
Silly Zhu took out the meat from the lunch box, and Director Wang returned to his office and stayed there quietly.
After the order in the canteen was restored, Ye Haoran did not stay in the canteen too long, but returned to the office to eat his own food.
In fact, as one of the leaders in the factory, Ye Haoran could eat in the canteen, just like Director Yang and Director Li. The canteen would prepare a separate meal and send it to them, but Ye Haoran did not do this.
He is building a character for himself, and an extra layer of armor is always beneficial.
After Haitang and Lou Xiao'e finished eating, they turned around and suddenly found that Ye Haoran had disappeared. Yu Haitang knew that Ye Haoran had gone back to the office, but Lou Xiao'e didn't know it. She searched around and couldn't find it, so she gave the meal away angrily. Others turned around and left the steel rolling mill, not knowing whether they were really angry or fake.
When Yu Haitang saw Lou Xiao'e leaving, he returned to his radio station with a victorious smile on his face.
In the afternoon, Ye Haoran continued to fish, and when he was about to leave after get off work, he unexpectedly received a call from Lou Zhenhua.
"What's wrong with Director Lou?"
Ye Haoran answered the ancient landline phone and waited until the other party announced his home address before speaking.
Lou Zhenhua's voice came over the phone and said: "Chief Ye, I haven't congratulated you on your promotion to section chief yet. I happen to have some questions that I would like to ask you. Why don't you come over to my house for a light meal tonight?"
Ye Haoran thought in confusion: Could it be that his daughter was incompetent and the old father was ready to die personally?
Just as he was about to refuse, he suddenly decided to go and see what Lou Zhenhua meant.
He smiled and replied to Lou Zhenhua on the phone: "What a coincidence, I also have something I want to talk to Director Lou about."
"Okay, okay, I'll arrange for people to prepare wine and food."
After chatting for a few words, Ye Haoran put down the phone, just as it was time to get off work.
After briefly packing up, he left the steel rolling mill on his bicycle. He went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some random things before rushing to Lou's house.
You can't just carry two paws around in the name of visiting. It doesn't have to be too expensive to buy something to take with you. It's just a thought. The Lou family doesn't lack anything, and they pay attention to courtesy.
Arriving at Lou's house, Ye Haoran saw a table full of dishes as soon as he was welcomed into the house. For ordinary families, it would be nice to have some meat flavor. This shows how outrageous the Lou family's luxurious life was in the past.
Lou Xiao'e stood aside and looked at Ye Haoran with bright eyes. When Ye Haoran came in, she couldn't wait to greet him. Ye Haoran stuffed the things he bought into him.
Lou Xiao'e, who still wanted to have a chat with Ye Haoran, had no choice but to carry her things back to the house.
"Excuse me, Director Lou."
"Hey, why bother? Today is a family dinner. Don't call me Director Lou. Just call me Uncle. I'll call you Xiaoye. How about that?"
"no problem."
Lou Zhenhua laughed and took Ye Haoran to sit directly at the dining table.
Ye Haoran looked at the table full of dishes and knew that the Lou family had put a lot of effort into it. Even if they hired a chef to help cook it, the value of the ingredients alone would not be cheap.
Lou Zhenhua opened a bottle of liquor and was about to pour it when Ye Haoran quickly took the bottle: "Uncle, I'll do it."
After each one was filled, Lou Zhenhua picked up the wine glass, and Ye Haoran also picked it up, knowing that he had something to say and didn't rush to drink.
After coughing, Lou Zhenhua said: "Xiaoye, first of all, I would like to congratulate you on your promotion to section chief. You will definitely achieve great things in the future at such a young age. Come on, let's go."
"Thank you, Uncle Lou, I'll finish this drink."
As soon as the wine glasses were put down, Lou Xiao'e took the initiative to pick up the wine bottle and pour wine for the two of them. Ye Haoran was also polite.
"Come on, come on, eat the food, don't just drink."
The atmosphere has opened up, and several people started chatting while eating, most of them talking about work and the steel rolling mill. Lou Xiao'e sat aside like a fool, either eating or laughing, no matter how her parents winked, Even though it is as stable as a mountain, I don’t know whether I didn’t see it or couldn’t understand it.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food...
Lou Zhenhua took the initiative to pass a cigarette to Ye Haoran, while Xiao'e's mother on the side took Lou Xiao'e to the back room.
Looking at this posture, Ye Haoran understood that Lou Zhenhua was going to talk about business.
"Xiaoye, to tell you the truth, even though I am still a shareholder in the factory, in fact, the steel rolling factory has nothing to do with me. I have worked hard all my life and only saved so much money. At home, I am just a girl. In the future They all belong to her, and the thing I can’t let go of the most is the moth.”
Ye Haoran nodded. The Chinese people pay attention to inheritance. From the day writing began, some things have taken root in the blood and cannot be erased.
Lou Zhenhua continued: "Mozi has reached the marriageable age, but it is not easy to find someone who is similar. You must have noticed that Mozi has a good impression of you. I don't know what you mean, Xiaoye."
There was no beating around the bush or any pressure, as an old father asked the question very straightforwardly.
He stared straight at Ye Haoran, including Lou Xiao'e who was behind the door of the inner room, also watching secretly.
After thinking for a long time, Ye Haoran suddenly shook his head: "Uncle Lou, if I tell the truth, I can only tell you that we are not suitable at the moment."
As soon as the word 'inappropriate' was spoken, Lou Xiao'e's eyes in the back room immediately turned red, and she was about to open the door angrily. Fortunately, Xiao'e's mother held her back, and she didn't rush out.
Lou Zhenhua was also a little angry. His posture was already very low, but Ye Haoran was still so indifferent.
"What? Our family has wronged you by marrying you?"
Ye Haoran shook his head and said: "What I mean is that at present, the reasons are very complicated, and it mainly has something to do with Uncle Lou."
Lou Zhenhua was stunned for a moment after hearing what Ye Haoran said. He didn't understand what it meant at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood what Ye Haoran was referring to.
He asked dubiously: "Are you talking about the composition of our family?"
Ye Haoran put out the cigarette in his hand and leaned back on the chair behind him before explaining: "Unless I can remove myself, the Lou family will always be a time bomb for me."
In the back room, when Lou Xiao'e heard Ye Haoran's explanation, her body suddenly became weak and her eyes were red, not knowing what she was thinking.
Lou Zhenhua also fell into deep thought. After a long time, he slowly raised his head and looked at Ye Haoran and finally asked: "Xiaoye, tell me the truth, are we blocking someone's way?"
"No." Ye Haoran said in a deep voice: "It's just that some people need a target, a target that everyone can unite to attack."
The atmosphere in Lou's house suddenly changed from lively and lively during dinner to eerie silence.
There is nothing wrong if he continues to stay here. Ye Haoran was about to stand up and say goodbye. As soon as he raised his buttocks, Lou Zhenhua asked in a hoarse voice: "Xiaoye, can you show me a clear path?"
Lou Zhenhua chewed for a long time and finally understood what Ye Haoran meant. No wonder Ye Haoran said that he and Lou Xiao'e were not suitable for the time being.
"But the moth..."
Lou Zhenhua felt sorry for Lou Xiao'e, so he asked this question.
Ye Haoran turned his head and glanced at the half-open door, then turned around and said, "If Uncle Lou thinks about it, I can protect her, but I really can't do anything about you and auntie."
After receiving Ye Haoran's promise, Lou Zhenhua's complexion gradually improved.
At this point in the conversation, Ye Haoran said everything that should be said and should not be said. If it weren't for Lou Xiao'e's friendship, Ye Haoran would really not care about the life and death of this family.
After Ye Haoran left, Lou Zhenhua smoked several cigarettes in the living room. Xiao'e's mother took Lou Xiao'e out and cleared the dining table. After that, the whole family sat in the living room in silence.
After a long time, Lou Zhenhua asked Lou Xiao'e: "Mozhi, do you really like him?"
Lou Xiao'e was stunned for a moment, then blushed and lowered her head.
Seeing this, Lou Zhenhua nodded: "Okay, Dad understands. Leave the rest to Dad. Dad will never hold you back."
The Lou family was rich, and a lot of money, so they needed a backer. Ye Haoran's growth surprised Lou Zhenhua, so he took up Ye Haoran's idea.
But after today's contact, Lou Zhenhua suddenly found that he had taken it for granted. He couldn't hold back even with Ye Haoran's position as the section chief of the violence agency, which shows how big the storm has become.
Ye Haoran returned home. As soon as he entered the house, he found Qin Huairu sitting at the dining table in a daze.
He asked curiously: "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
"Huh? Oh!"
When Qin Huairu saw Ye Haoran coming back, she quickly stood up and opened the curtain to reheat the food. Ye Haoran stretched out his hand to stop it and said, "Stop working, I've eaten outside, you can take it back and eat it."
"Well...that..."
"What's wrong with you? Why are you hesitant to speak today? Are you out of money?"
Seeing Qin Huairu hesitate to speak, Ye Haoran asked curiously.
Qin Huairu quickly shook her head: "It's okay, you can rest, I'm going back." Just as he was about to go out, he turned back and said: "Jia Dongxu called today and said that he has a few days off this month and will be back in two days. "
"Come back as soon as you come back. He can still eat you."
Ye Haoran said nonchalantly that he really didn't take Jia Dongxu seriously. The Red Star Timber Factory had already said hello to him. When Jia Dongxu works for a period of time, the steel rolling mill will adjust his working relationship. Go to Jichun and let him stay there forever.
"vomit"
Qin Huairu, who had just gone out, felt uncomfortable again. Ye Haoran, who had just taken off his clothes and was about to wash his face, stood at the door and looked at Qin Huairu's uncomfortable look, and suddenly became stupid.
"Sister Qin, what are you..."
Qin Huairu said nothing and was about to go home with the food, but before turning around, Ye Haoran noticed the two tears left by Qin Huairu.
What else is there to say? Ye Haoran is not stupid. He has more children and grandchildren than the entire courtyard combined.
He threw down the towel and didn't continue washing his face. Instead, he sat on the chair and fell into deep thought.
Qin Huairu, who felt a little better, walked through the hall carrying the food that Ye Haoran refused to eat. A breeze blew by, and the smell of the food floated into Qin Huairu's nose.
"vomit"
Suffered from old sin.
"Oh, Sister Qin, are you... happy?"
Yu Li was walking in the yard and saw Qin Huairu who was vomiting and hurriedly came over to show concern. As soon as she helped her up, she thought about giving birth to a baby.
She is also a woman and has known about this matter for a long time. Unfortunately, she has never made any move.
Yu Li's words made Qin Huairu panic, and she shook her head quickly: "No, no, it might be... vomit."
Yu Li: "..."
As soon as Yu Li returned home, Yan Jiecheng came over.
"Hey, wife, our dad wants to save a bicycle. Do you think our family will have a bicycle in the future?"
Yan Jiecheng was quite excited, as if the bicycle belonged to him. As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Li poured a basin of cold water over him.
"Your dad is your dad, and you are you. You have to pay for food. If you want to ride a bicycle, can you do it without money?"
In the year since she got married, Yu Li has felt a little regretful. Yan Laoxi's reputation is indeed not for nothing. He not only picks on outsiders, but also on his own children, and even pays for food.
There is also a saying that often hangs on the lips: "If you don't have enough to eat, you won't have poverty if you don't have enough clothes. If you don't calculate, you will suffer from poverty."
Although life is difficult for everyone, there is no such calculation. If you are really poor, forget it, and you can still have spare money to buy a bicycle. Is that really poor?
Yan Jiecheng was almost thrown out of the door with one sentence, hesitating and not knowing what to say.
Yu Li sighed: "You said you have no skills at all. You have to pay the money to your family after you earn it. We are reluctant to buy anything. Your father is stingy and you are stingy. You are reluctant to give me a child."
"This...I...don't this matter depend on luck?"
"You're lucky. Look at Sister Qin. There are three of you. Why can't you imitate Jia Dongxu?"
Yan Jiecheng rarely talked to Yu Li, and he didn't know what kind of stimulation he got today.
Too lazy to answer, Yan Jiecheng turned around and was about to go out for a walk when he suddenly felt something was wrong. After thinking for a long time, he looked at Yu Li with his big eyes and asked naively: "Daughter-in-law, are you sure you can count? Qin Huairu Since when are there only three?”
"You don't know how. Sister Qin still has one in her belly. Why aren't there three? Are you envious? It's nothing!"
"That's not right!"
"What's wrong?"
Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes. Yan Jiecheng asked in confusion: "Jia Dongxu has been gone for more than three months. How did Qin Huairu..."
Yu Li: "...Can't? Could it be that everyone's physique is different..."
Yan Jiecheng: "It's different. If it's not Jia Dongxu, then who is it?"
The couple suddenly looked at each other together, then turned to look through the window in the direction of Ye Haoran's home.
No one heard the whispers between the two couples, but Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li seemed to have discovered some great secret.
Ye Haoran's family, after careful consideration, decided to cut off the mess quickly, and some things really can't be delayed.
The next day.
The steel rolling mill was as busy as ever, with everyone performing their duties and busy with their own work. Director Li had just returned to his office to make tea and was thinking about something when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Putting down the tea cup, Director Li sat back on his office chair and looked at the door.
The secretary who came in put down a document in front of Director Li and explained: "Director Li, this is a working relationship transfer for a worker in our factory, and you need to sign it."
"Relationship mobilization? Why didn't I know?"
Director Li picked up the material and took a look at it suspiciously. The material was Jia Dongxu's personal information in the third workshop, including family member information and detailed work records, and even his personal progress was entered into the file.
The secretary shook his head and said, "I don't know about this either. It came from Factory Director Yang's office."
"First-level fitter, why is it so sudden?"
Director Li was puzzled, and the secretary's next words woke him up.
The secretary said garrulously: "Yes, Director Li. As soon as Section Chief Ye came out of Factory Director Yang's office, this job transfer was announced. Did Section Chief Ye ask Director Yang to do the work?"
"Chief Ye? Ye Haoran?"
Director Li's teeth started to itch when he mentioned this name.
Currently in the steel rolling mill, Director Yang and Ye Haoran are the two big mountains above his head. One is a higher level than him, and the other is a force department that disobeys the leadership. He can't get past these two people even if he wants to do something.
Director Yang has the final say in administration, and Ye Haoran has the final say in actions. He has almost become a decoration.
"Director Li, look..."
"Leave it here for now. I'll talk about it when I'm not busy. You can go back first."
After the secretary left, Director Li stood by the window and looked at the scenery outside and fell into deep thought. He was an old fox. If he hadn't been helpless, he would have attacked the two people long ago. Otherwise, how could he have endured until now.
