Yan Jiecheng found a job hauling briquettes in the coal factory today. He couldn't finish the job by himself, so he called brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu. Liu Guangtian, like him, was unemployed at home and occasionally did odd jobs. Liu Guangfu was still in school. School starts.
The three of them finished the two-day work in one day and received four yuan. Yan Jie gave it 1.5 yuan and the Liu brothers 2.5 yuan. The three of them were very satisfied. Yan Jiecheng and the Liu brothers were walking back to the courtyard together, with joyful smiles on their faces.
In front of a small restaurant not far from the courtyard, the Liu brothers stopped in unison, "Brother Jie Cheng, do you want to go in and have something to eat together?" Liu Guangfu asked.
"I'll forget it. I want to find a long-term job in the coal factory. I have to save money to buy a hand-pulled cart of my own. In this way, I will have a chance to find a long-term job in the coal factory and can also pull it by myself." Briquettes, make more money." Yan Jiecheng rejected the Liu brothers' proposal. He was very eager to have a formal job. He saw no hope from his family and could only work hard on his own.
Liu Guangtian brought his younger brother Liu Guangfu to the restaurant, "We want two bowls of noodles, how much does it cost."
"Six taels of food stamps, thirty-two cents."
The two brothers were a little overwhelmed when they heard that they were asking for food stamps. It was their first time entering a restaurant.
"We don't have food stamps." Liu Guangtian said without confidence.
"Why do you come to the restaurant without food stamps to entertain me?" When the two brothers were about to be kicked out by the waiter, Liu Guangtian caught a glimpse of Su Wen sitting in the restaurant eating, and mustered up the courage to say: "Brother Su Wen, can you Can't you lend us six taels of food stamps? We'll pay you back as soon as we get them." After saying this, the two brothers looked at Su Wen expectantly.
"Let them in, I gave them food stamps." Su Wen said to the waiter who stopped the two brothers.
"We have money, we just need to give it ourselves."
"Where did you two go to make a fortune today? The second uncle won't give you so much pocket money, will he?"
The waiter took the money and food stamps and turned around and left.
"Today Brother Xie Cheng from the third uncle's family took us to do odd jobs in the coal factory and earned 2.5 yuan. We brothers couldn't eat anything when we took it home, so we just wanted to come here for a good meal. It's our first time here and we don't know what we are doing now. Even eating noodles requires food stamps.”
"Now that everything has to be ticketed, have you two separated from the second uncle and lived alone?"
"No, we also want to separate our families. We don't dare to tell my dad for fear of getting beaten. I can't support the two of us even if I work odd jobs. When Guangfu stops going to school and can support himself, we can My dad separated the family and lived on his own. Brother Su Wen, can you please keep it a secret for us and don’t tell others about our coming here to eat?”
"Don't worry, I won't tell the second uncle. I'm done eating. You brothers eat slowly and go home early." After saying this, Su Wen left the small restaurant.
"Brother, Su Wen won't complain to our dad when he goes back, right?"
"Probably not. We still owe him the food stamps. If he goes to complain to our father, we won't pay him back."
The two brothers sat at the table waiting to eat noodles. Soon the waiter brought two large bowls of noodles. The waiter placed the noodles on the table and turned around to leave.
After eating the noodles, the two of them chatted and walked, and soon returned to the courtyard. He poked his head into the courtyard and saw that there was no one in the front yard, and the same was true in the middle yard. He carefully went to his parents' house in the backyard and took four pickles and two pickles out, and lay down on his little bed. The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
Mrs. Jia Zhang poured the stir-fried rice from Shazhu's lunch box into her own vegetable basin. When she saw half of it was stir-fried chicken and the other half was shredded pork and stir-fried fungus, the whole family was so greedy that they salivated. Banggen directly reached out and grabbed a piece of chicken and stuffed it into his mouth. Jia Dongxu wanted to teach Banggen the rules of eating, but Jia Zhang said: "They are all meat dishes, which are better than what we eat during the New Year. Hurry up and eat." When you're done, Huairu, clean the lunch box and send it back to Shazhu. You must satisfy Shazhu, otherwise you won't be able to eat from the steel rolling mill in the future."
Shazhu's family of three ate steamed buns with steamed noodles and shredded potatoes, and drank corn paste in a harmonious and comfortable way. Until Qin Huairu came to deliver the lunch box.
Naturally, meat and vegetables are eaten much faster than shredded potatoes. After finishing the meal, before clearing the table, Qin Huairu was arranged by Jia Zhang to clean Si Zhu's lunch box and send it back to Si Zhu. .
In fact, there is no need to brush the lunch box anymore, the oil and water on it has been wiped clean by Qin Huairu with a wowotou.
Qin Huairu rinsed the lunch box with the tap in front of the door, shook it and sent it back to Shazhu.
Yu Li accepted the lunch box that Qin Huairu sent back and looked at Qin Huairu's buttocks twisting and turning as she walked. She felt very angry and said, "You shameless vixen."
Yu Li turned around and saw Sha Zhu looking at Qin Huairu's retreating figure infatuatedly, and asked: "How does it look good? Do you want me to give up my seat to Qin Huairu?" The cold voice made the temperature in the room rise. It has been reduced a lot.
"Brother, what are you doing? No more lunch boxes are allowed to be given to the Jia family in the future." He Yuyu stood firmly on his sister-in-law's side.
"Daughter-in-law, don't think too much. I really didn't look at Qin Huairu. I was stunned because I was thinking about other issues. Su Wen in the backyard has been promoted to deputy chief of the purchasing department. Our compound is also going to have a cadre. You You know this."
"Stop trying to prevaricate me with Su Wen. He was promoted a few days ago. The way you looked at Jia Dongxu's wife just now, as if you wanted to swallow her whole, can't fool me."
"I'm sorry, daughter-in-law. It was my fault this time. I promise I won't do it again in the future." Shazhu felt heartbroken when he saw that his daughter-in-law was about to cry.
"Then you must promise me that you will never give lunch boxes to the Jia family again." After Yu Li finished speaking, she stared at Sha Zhu. Seeing that Sha Zhu had not agreed, Yu Li burst into tears.
He Yuyu stood up and kicked Silly Zhu, "Brother, if you don't agree to sister-in-law quickly, what are you going to do?"
"Daughter-in-law, don't cry. It's all my fault. I will never make such a mistake again." Silly Zhu stretched out his hand and gently wiped the tears from his wife's eyes. "I promise that I will never give lunch boxes to the Jia family again, otherwise my He family will be cut off from all descendants." "
"Sister-in-law, please stop crying. You see, my brother has promised not to give lunch boxes to the Jia family in the future. Just stop crying. I will help you keep an eye on him and prevent him from having too much contact with the Jia family's sister-in-law."
Yu Li stopped crying when she heard He Yuyu's words. Yu Li gradually calmed down, took a deep breath, gently pulled Shazhu's sleeves, and motioned for him to sit down.
Seeing that Yu Li had calmed down, Shazhu also sat down. He took Yu Li's hand, looked into her eyes, and said seriously: "Daughter-in-law, I know that my behavior just now made you feel uneasy and angry, and I am really sorry. I promise that I will pay attention to my words and deeds in the future. My behavior will never make you misunderstood or sad again.”
