Siheyuan: Traveling through Cai Quanwu, pretending to be Uncle Shazhu

Sha Zhu did not hide the fact that he had obtained the certificate and license from everyone, and almost all the workers in the kitchen knew about it.

So as soon as he returned to the factory, he was greeted with everyone's endless blessings.

"Silly, congratulations."

"Yes, yes, silly Zhu, today is your good day."

"Silly Zhu, now that we have obtained the marriage certificate, we must work hard to have a child."

At this time, everyone, whether insincerely or not, said words of congratulations.

No one would be unlucky at this time and say anything sarcastic.

Making sarcastic remarks at this time is a particularly degrading thing to do.

Everyone needs someone's blessing sometimes.

"Thank you. Come, have some candy."

Sha Zhu was so happy to receive everyone's blessings that he kept taking out candies from his bag and giving them to everyone.

"We must eat this candy. It's wedding candy." Everyone took the candy and said similar words.

The noise in the cafeteria startled Chef Liu who was resting in the small room.

"Hey, Shazhu is back, congratulations."

When Chef Liu came out and saw Sha Zhu, he knew why the kitchen was so noisy.

"Come on, Uncle Liu, have some candy."

As Sha Zhu said this, he grabbed a handful of candy from his bag and handed it to Master Liu.

"Thank you, Shazhu. I wish you and your spouse a long and happy life together."

Master Liu took the candy handed to him, expressed his gratitude, and gave his blessings.

"Thank you."

"Uncle Liu, I want to discuss something with you."

Sha Zhu walked a little closer and spoke in a lowered voice.

"What's the matter? Tell me."

Master Liu was a little curious about what Sha Zhu wanted to discuss with him.

It can be said that they don't have much interaction in private except in the cafeteria.

"The day for the wedding banquet has been set. It will be the day off after May Day. I would like to trouble Master Liu to cook for me then."

Sha Zhu told the story.

It's impossible for him, the groom, to cook for himself on the wedding day. It doesn't make sense.

"No problem." Master Liu agreed immediately when he heard this.

As a chef, as long as they have time, they generally will not refuse such an invitation.

Unless you know that the host is unreasonable and difficult to deal with, you may refuse on the grounds that you don't have the time.

Because when you meet this kind of person, you often don't get to eat the meat, and you may also get into trouble.

"Then Uncle Liu, let's make it a deal."

Sha Zhu was very happy to see Master Liu agreed immediately.

"Don't worry, I will never embarrass you." Master Liu patted his chest and promised.

"Okay, Uncle Liu, let's follow the rules for the rest so that you don't waste your time."

"I'm leaving now. I have to go see the director."

After talking to Master Liu, Sha Zhu decided to leave.

"You little brat, you're still talking about rules with me. Fine, go ahead. I'll go back and rest for a while."

"Haha, the rules still need to be followed."

The two chatted for a while and then parted ways.

Master Liu returned to his small room, and Sha Zhu went directly to the director's office.

Sha Zhu knocked on the door and entered the director's office. He went through the entire process and left the office with the director's blessing.

I have to come. Everyone in the cafeteria has received candy, and I can’t leave the director behind.

This is not a question of candy or not. The director certainly has enough candy. This is a question of attitude and respect.

Sha Zhu did learn a few things from Cai Quanwu.

After distributing the candies, Sha Zhu went back to the kitchen and started working.

It's called work, but in fact I'm just slacking off. If there's no entertaining in the evening, there's basically nothing to do in the kitchen in the afternoon.

……

Sha Zhu was well-known in the steel mill. The news of his obtaining the certificate spread through word of mouth, and within an hour everyone in the steel mill knew about it.

In the forging workshop, the second uncle was swinging a hammer to hit the workpiece.

At this time, an apprentice walked up to the second uncle and said mysteriously: "Master, the silly Zhu in your courtyard got the marriage certificate today."

The second uncle was hammering a workpiece and didn't hear clearly. He stopped the hammer in his hand and asked:

"Second son, what did you say?"

"Master, I heard that Shazhu in your courtyard got the marriage certificate." Erzi repeated what he had just said.

Hearing Erzi's words, the second uncle didn't react for a moment and asked back:

"What certificate do you need?"

When Erzi heard what the second uncle said, he was speechless. If he hadn't seen the puzzled look on the second uncle's face, he would have suspected that the second uncle had Alzheimer's disease and could not understand such simple words.

"Master, of course it's the marriage certificate."

"Ah, Shazhu got his marriage certificate today? How come I didn't know about this? Who told you that?"

The second uncle was very surprised and asked hurriedly.

"I just went to the toilet and heard people in the cafeteria saying that the wedding candies have been distributed." Erzi repeated how he knew about it.

"This idiot Zhu is very tight-lipped. He never reveals anything in the yard." The second uncle sighed.

……

In the fitter workshop, Jia Dongxu was processing parts under the guidance of a master craftsman.

After a part was processed, the master nodded and praised:

"You have a good understanding and have made great progress recently."

"Master Wang, you are the best teacher." Jia Dongxu complimented Master Wang.

Ever since the old man went in, the workshop director assigned a new master to Jia Dongxu.

Under the guidance of Master Wang, Jia Dongxu felt that his level had improved by leaps and bounds. Some of the things that he had previously been confused about suddenly became clear after Master Wang’s explanation.

Now he believes more and more in what Tsai Quan-wu said at the conference.

When the old man was around, whenever I asked him a question, he would always be vague and tell me to figure it out myself.

But after following Master Wang, I was able to get the same question answered in great detail.

There are many things that you can understand once Master Wang explains them.

These facts made him suspect that the old man had hidden a lot from him in the past.

He is not stupid. It doesn't make sense that two masters with similar levels would have such a big difference in teaching.

This is why he gradually stopped having any contact with Cai after his uncle was arrested.

"Okay, stop flattering me and just study hard. Let's go over there and have a cigarette."

"okay."

Jia Dongxu agreed and walked with Master Wang to the place where everyone usually smoked.

When they arrived at the place, Jia Dongxu quickly took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed one to Master Wang.

Just as the two men lit up their cigarettes, a co-worker came over cursing.

"Jia Dongxu, I heard that Sha Zhu from your courtyard got married?"

A worker who was walking over saw Jia Dongxu and asked him something.

"Ah, when? I don't know, Xiaogang, who told you that?" Jia Dongxu looked confused.

"I just heard those brainless guys in the forging workshop say that."

Xiaogang looked down upon the people in the forging workshop, and the curses he had just thrown at him were directed at those blacksmiths.

The two workshops have a long-standing grudge against each other.

If we really want to trace it back, we have to go back to before liberation.

After the public-private partnership, only the ownership changed, the workers remained the same workers, and the conflicts were not resolved.

But it is much better than before. Previously, there was basically a small flight every three days and a large flight every five days.

They were all master and apprentice, and even Lou Banchengdu had no way to deal with him.

You can't fire everyone.

Should the factory still be opened?

Fortunately, Lou Bancheng later came to his senses and decided that it was better for them to fight among themselves than to unite and fight against him.

As long as no one was killed and the work was completed on time, Lou Bancheng turned a blind eye and pretended not to know.

It has continued to this day. Although we don't dare to fight anymore, you still look down on me and I still look down on you.

They start quarrelling as soon as they meet.

"I haven't heard of it. I don't know."

Jia Dongxu told the truth that it was someone else's private matter and he had no idea about it.

"What those reckless men said made a lot of sense, so it's probably true."

"Damn it, even idiots can get married, but I haven't got one yet."

Xiaogang was very dissatisfied with Shazhu's ability to marry a wife, and felt that he was not even as good as a fool.

Master Wang saw Xiaogang's dirty talk and frowned and scolded:

"How can you be better than Sha Zhu? Your mouth is even more mean than Sha Zhu's. Which girl would be willing to marry you?"

It’s not that Master Wang wanted to speak for Sha Zhu, but he felt that Gangzi was a very bad person. He cursed others behind their backs all day long, which was a disgrace to the fitter workshop.
