Siheyuan: Fatty’s Counterattack

The next morning, Fatty came to Deputy Director Li's office.

He is now the celebrity in front of Deputy Factory Director Li. Li Huaide made tea in person and did not let the fat man stand and talk. Instead, he sat on the sofa together. The two of them chatted as if they were talking about everyday things: "Fat man, what else can you do? What dish?"

"Huaiyang cuisine is rigorous in selecting ingredients, fine in preparation, and elegant in style; it pursues its original taste, freshness and gentleness. Due to regional restrictions, some dishes cannot be made now."

Deputy Director Li became interested: "Oh? Can you tell me what the restrictions are?"

The fat man was not polite: "As the saying goes, drunken crabs can't watch the lanterns, wind chickens can't watch the lanterns, swordfish can't watch the Qingming Festival, and sturgeons can't watch the Dragon Boat Festival. This method that changes with time ensures that every raw material is the best.

Take the long fish with soft pockets as an example. It is best to use the "pen-bar green" eel around the Dragon Boat Festival. Yesterday's one was not even interesting. "

After chatting with Deputy Director Li, the fat man took out the 10 yuan from his pocket and told his purpose: "Deputy Director Li, if possible, I don't want the bonus. I would like you to give it to the Real Estate Department." Say something."

Not motivated by money, everything is based on actual needs. Doesn't this fat man behave like a young man who has just turned 20?

Deputy Director Li asked him with interest: "What do you want me to say for you?"

The fat man immediately told Deputy Director Li everything about his family situation, the current difficulties he was encountering, and his aspirations for the future.

He spoke very skillfully. From his words, Deputy Factory Manager Li seemed to hear "indescribable stories of parents' shortcomings and endless bitterness, sourness, and sweetness."

The fireworks in the world are the most touching. Deputy Director Li admitted that he was almost convinced by this guy, but he didn't intend to give this favor to Fatty now.

Deputy Factory Director Li suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, you don't have a partner yet, do you? There are many suitable female employees in our factory. Do you need me to introduce one to you?"

The fat man was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Deputy Director Li meant. As expected of an old fox, he had to find a way to maximize the effect even when he said a word.

Help him now, why don't you wait until he has already talked about marriage, but the house has not yet been settled to help him get favors?

But it’s okay, favors are what you owe me and I owe you. When the calculation is over one day, the relationship will be truly in place.

Just like Silly Pillar and the big leader have formed an unbreakable alliance of interests, this meat is rotten in the pot.

Of course, if one of them suddenly wants to settle things, it will be time to turn against each other.

※※※※※※※

Fatty didn't come back last night and the door was locked.

Silly Zhu and Xu Damao came to look for him, but they all missed.

Silly Zhu looked unkind: "What are you doing here?"

Xu Damao shook a bottle of good wine in his hand: "Brother, I came to see Fatty for a drink!"

Drinking, when did the relationship between the two of them become so good?

Silly Zhu glared at Xu Damao and was about to go back, but Xu Damao stopped him: "Silly Zhu, do you know who you are having dinner with tonight?"

Virtue! Isn't it just that after the leader finished his meal, he let the grandson show a movie? What's there to be proud of?

Xu Damao shook his head: "I had the honor to accompany Director Zhang and his delegation yesterday. Do you know what was on the table yesterday?"

Silly Zhu was a cook, and he was generous with others. If Xu Damao wanted to brag to him about anything else, he would ignore him;

But when Xu Damao got to the top of the dish, he was already holding his breath. Hearing this, he also wanted to find out whether the fat man was true or not: "Oh, you Xu Damao can also eat good food? That's all for you." It's a waste of things, so you can tell me what you're saying, and it'll make me wiser too."

Xu Damao's moustache stood up in anger: "Listen, Silly Zhu! Fish grow in soft pockets, have you ever heard of it? That's the first dish in the founding of the country!"

Fat man, can you make a fish out of a soft bag? Silly Zhu didn't believe it at first, but with Xu Damao's knowledge, if he hadn't been really present at the time, Silly Zhu dared to say that he didn't even know the name! It would be more like his father-in-law...

Listening to Xu Damao vividly talking about what dishes were served yesterday, the more Silly Zhu listened, the more his heart sank. How old is this fat man? I just turned 20 a while ago. He only found out about this when the fat aunt was cooking longevity noodles for the fat man that day.

But who knew that that boy didn't know what was good and what was wrong, and insisted on saying "Don't grow a beard when the father is here, and don't celebrate the birthday when the mother is here". His appearance of having a harmonious family and having both parents made Silly Zhu disgusted!

Silly Zhuxin said that he could not continue like this, as the fat man had now threatened his status.

There is nothing to say about this matter, there are only two ways: one way is to completely conquer the fat man and let him follow his lead from now on; the second way is to expel him from the canteen, preferably directly. The Red Star Factory made it impossible for him to stand up forever.

Just a few more days passed like this, and New Year's Day of 1965 arrived.

There was also a holiday in the factory today. Chen Yan came to see Fatty early in the morning and pulled him out of bed, feeling depressed.

This made the fat man keep protesting: "Second sister, I get up before dawn every morning. The employees go to work at 8 o'clock, and our cafeteria starts at 6 o'clock..."

Chen Yan didn't listen. She twisted his ears and said, "Why didn't you say you took a break at 1:4 in the afternoon? You didn't go back to work until [-]:[-]!"

How else can I say that the job of a cook is enviable? If you have 3 hours more rest time than others every day, you can be lazy openly.

"Get up quickly and get dressed up. If you dare to delay today's affairs, I'll take care of you!"

He is already 20 years old. Fatty's personal problems are not only worrying to Fatty, but also to Zhou Haiqin!

No, I asked people to ask around, and asked several girls in a row, but no one was willing to do it - it's not obvious, everyone knows the situation in Fatty's family. When a daughter gets married, in addition to having a mother-in-law to hold her down, she also has to take care of three sisters-in-law. Who would be willing to marry off her daughter?

Zhou Haiqin was so anxious that his cheeks were swollen and he couldn't eat due to toothache in the past few days.

My mother is unhappy, and naturally the three girls at home are also unhappy. Even Lao Chen has not dared to breathe loudly recently. In order to protect herself, Chen Yan remembered that she had a best friend who was older than Fatty...

With the attitude of giving it a try, I told Zhou Haiqin about this matter; Zhou Haiqin slapped his thigh and said, "It's better to be older. I know how to hurt people, so I will do this!"

So today's blind date happened.

When Chen Yan took the fat man out, Sha Zhu also happened to get up.

As soon as she saw Chen Yan, she immediately forgot about her little confrontation with Fatty. She licked her face and came over: "Hello, hello. Are you free to come over and see Fatty today?"
