Chapter 15: Big Eve

New Year's Eve.

On that day, the factory managers did not go home, but instead had a dinner in the cafeteria to celebrate the successful completion of the steel rolling mill this year.

After all the others in the factory were exposed, He Yuzhu, Ma Hua and Liu Lan prepared side dishes in the kitchen and served the factory director and others to have dinner.

Liu Lan looked at He Yuzhu after cooking the dishes and said disgustedly: "It's so annoying. This is New Year's Eve, everyone else is on holiday, and it's so unlucky. So what? I have something to do. After I serve this dish, I'll leave. Can you do it?"

He Yuzhu knew that he was asking himself, nodded and said, "Let's go, I'll let Ma Hua pass by."

Liu Lan said happily: "Thank you!"

At this time, Qin Huairu appeared. He Yuzhu frowned. Since Bang Teng stole money, Qin Huairu hasn't come to the kitchen one day. What are you here for today?

"Sha Zhu, it's the Chinese New Year today. Didn't the factory manager treat me? Can I take the leftovers away?"

He Yuzhu was stunned and looked face to face with Ma Hua. He didn't understand how Qin Huairu dared to speak like this. Who gave him the courage? Liang Jingru? But Liang Jingru was not born yet.

"This is not possible. You can leave quickly. The factory director or deputy director Li will come out later. When you see it, you think I was a custodian."

"What's the matter? You don't take it home normally."

Ma Hua couldn't listen anymore. If he saw through it or not, he would still be a good friend. If Qin Huairu said this, if someone heard it, not only Sha Zhu, but also everyone else in the cafeteria would be in trouble.

"No, Qin Huairu, how do you speak?"

"Liu Lan, Liu Lan!" Deputy Director Li walked to the kitchen, searching for Liu Lan everywhere, and saw Qin Huairu standing in front of He Yuzhu at a glance.

"Qin Huairu, why are you here? Have you seen Liu Lan?"

"Didn't see it."

"Oh, then I'll tell you something, come, come, let's talk to you."

Deputy Director Li pulled Qin Huairu to the warehouse like this, and it seemed that he wanted to make a mistake.

Ma Hua looked at He Yuzhu and asked, "Master, don't really get into it if you don't go and see it."

"What happened? Who am I? Who is he?"

Deputy Director Li took Qin Huairu to a separate room and closed the door directly.

Qin Huairu was a little nervous, not because Deputy Director Li wanted to make a mistake, but because everyone else saw him coming here with him. If he didn't go out for a short time, his reputation might be really bad.

"Qin Huairu, how are you doing these days?"

"Director Li, I know you are a good person and I care about how we are doing. You did it for me to take on my man's class."

When Deputy Director Li heard this, he immediately remembered the matter of handling Qin Huairu's head-on work. He thought that eating Qin Huairu was much more watery than now. He had just given birth to his third child, and he had enough milk, so he had enough drinks.

"I knew you were a smart person. Come and let me kiss you. I haven't been intimate with you these days. If Sha Zhu had interfered, you would have been mine."

"What are you doing? Deputy Director Li, there are still people outside. Let's know, how can I live!"

"Don't worry, no one will come in unless he doesn't want to do it."

"That's not OK. When Sha Zhu heard it, our family would have no way out. Director Li, please spare me this time."

Although Qin Huairu said this, she still asked Deputy Director Li to kiss him, but she did not allow him to continue other actions.

Although Deputy Director Li was unwilling to accept it, he did not dare to do such a thing before everyone could tell. If someone reported it, his political career would end directly.

"Okay, I'll let you go first this time, but I'll call you in the future, you must be on call. By the way, today on New Year's Eve, you can't let you go empty-handed. This bag of flour and ten kilograms of pork given to me by others. You can take it back and replenish the nutrition of your children."

Deputy Director Li also heard footsteps and knew that it was someone else who came. He quickly pushed Qin Huairu away, sorted out his clothes, and said as if he was concerned about his subordinates.

Others didn't know what was going on inside. When they heard Deputy Director Li's words, they thought he was really a good person.

He Yuzhu looked outside as Qin Huairu walked out carrying Deputy Director Li’s pork and twenty kilograms of white flour, looking at Qin Huairu as if a stranger.

Qin Huairu also knew that this was not good, so she hurried over to explain: "Zhuzi, at this time, Deputy Director Li asked me to supplement the nutrition of Bang Ge and the others. Let's have a dinner together tonight!"

"Don't let me go, I want to have the Spring Festival alone with my sister this year. After all, she will get married in two days and rarely have a reunion dinner in the future."

"Pillar!"

He Yuzhu cleaned up for a while, and then went home with these hands, ignoring Qin Huairu behind him.

When He Yushui saw He Yuzhu coming home, he asked curiously: "Brother, why are you still working today?"

"The factory director and his team are holding a celebration banquet. I won't talk about it anymore, I'm going to cook and have a meal."

"Brother, I've reconciled the noodles and chopped the meat fillings, just wait for you to season them."

He Yuzhu looked at He Yushui's work and nodded. It was still fine, and there was no big problem. He started washing his hands and fillings, and the two of them made dumplings together.

After making dumplings, put them aside, cut vegetables and meat, and start cooking.

"By the way, Yushui, we posted Spring Festival couplets, right?"

"Well, I posted it, written by the third uncle. I gave him some peanut seeds, even if it was a pen to moisten the pen."

"Okay, the third uncle's handwriting is pretty good anyway. I'll learn it from him and practice calligraphy by myself."

"You? Have you learned it? From childhood to adulthood, you have learned to cook. You can't recognize a few words of big things, but you still learn some words after going to literacy classes."

"Hey, you dare to look down on your brother. I tell you, I just didn't go to school, otherwise I would definitely be a college student. Just say your brother's cooking skills, but you can't find a few more than mine in Beijing. But there are so many college students in Beijing, so they don't have to be expensive."

"Yes, yes, you're right. By the way, will you send some dumplings to the old lady later?"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Of course I have to give it to you. This is the ancestor in the yard, so I am sure to pay attention."

The old lady followed Yi Zhonghai to have dinner with Qin Huairu's family. When she saw He Yuzhu didn't come, she didn't say anything. At her age, many things could be seen at a glance, but she was neither deaf nor dumb nor a family man.

When a man saw the kowtow with his sister to kowtow to the old lady, his eyes were suddenly lit up, and he looked at the children and said:

"Look at these three children, how Huairu brought them up, it's really rare."

Qin Huairu heard what he meant, and quickly crossed and said, "One uncle, don't praise me, I am not resistant to praise."

An aunt glanced at Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai and said to Jia Zhang: "Sister-in-law, let's have a meal too?"

Jia Zhang had 10 kilograms of pork today. He thought that his family would eat it by themselves, but now a man is waiting for him to come for dinner. In addition, he saw the matter between the man and his daughter-in-law before, and although he was unhappy, he still pretended not to know anything.

"Old lady, let's have a meal?"

"Have a meal."

Other families are also eating, but the food is different for each family. For the richer ones, there are fish and meat, and for the poorer ones, there are white flour dumplings at home. As for the filling, there is a big difference. For the rich ones, there are meat, while for the poor ones, there are vegetarian, and cabbage and tofu stuffing.

He Yushui picked up a dumpling, took a bite, and said with a smile: "It's delicious, it's so delicious, the meat-filled dumplings are so delicious, this is just meatballs."

"It smells good, just eat more. This time I have enough dumplings. Come and eat some food. At this time, the pork ribs are stewed with cabbage, which is so delicious. Eat."

"Brother, what did you do this year so grandly? Is it because I am going to get married, so celebrate in advance?"

"What are you saying? I feel that you have suffered before. I didn't eat anything delicious with your brother. From now on, you will be from someone else's house. It will not be easy to eat the food your brother cooks."

"Brother, don't worry. If I want to eat the food you cook, I will bring my partner back to eat directly. Wouldn't you be unwilling to do this?"

"The reason is that I am willing, but try not to bring your partner to our yard. I have seen these people over the years, and they are not fuel-efficient. If you really want to eat the dishes your brother cooks, go directly to the factory and tell me that I will go to your house to make it for you."

"How can you do it? You will be a guest when you go. How can you let you do it?"

"Why can't it be? Your brother is just a chef. If I hadn't been to watch you get married, I would like to organize your wedding banquet for you, and let those people see how your brother's skills are."

"By the way, brother, how are you and Teacher Ran? If not, I'm introducing you to other partners?"

"I haven't contacted you for the time being, but it doesn't matter. After the Chinese New Year, Teacher Ran will go to work, and I will ask about the situation myself. You, don't worry about my affairs, just live a good life with the small police officer."

"Xiaopian police, Xiaopian police, they have their names, Wei Qinggong."

"Cultivate, celebrate the honor, Xiao Wei, it's done. Eat, eat."

The third uncle's house is now dividing peanuts, and most of the peanuts were asked by his neighbors to write and give them to him. However, he also planned to do so. He held a spatula, each person and a shovel, and there were almost a small handful, about a dozen.

Of course, he did not distribute it randomly, treat everyone equally, with more than a dozen children, and the number was the same, and it was not biased. This also made the children and adults very happy, especially when listening to the radio. This is a microcosm of this era. No matter how hard or difficult it is, everyone is very happy. Because middle-aged people came from the old society, most of them came from the War of Resistance Against Japan.
