Siheyuan: The happy life of a little chef

Li Jianjun was just about to close the door when he saw a little head in the corner looking at him. It was Xiaodang.

Li Jianjun felt a little complicated. After all, her father was sent to jail. Nowadays, jailing or detention brings bad reputation. Jia Dongxu's reputation loss is more serious than detention.

Li Jianjun waved to Xiaodang, who ran over and called him "Uncle".

Li Jianjun looked at Xiaodang and asked, "Xiaodang, why did you come to my uncle's house so late?"

Li Jianjun asked tentatively. He was afraid that Qin Huairu or Jia Zhangshi had asked Xiaodang to come.

Xiao Dang lowered his head and said, "Grandma and Mom were arguing at home. I missed my uncle, so I ran over here."

Li Jianjun was very curious about why they quarreled, so he picked up Xiaodang and went back to the house. He hadn't eaten yet, so he simply made some noodles and fried two eggs.

It was ready soon. The two, one big and one small, ate and chatted: "Xiaodang, do you know why mom and grandma quarreled?"

Xiao Dang nodded: "Grandma asked me to come find uncle, but mom wouldn't let me, so they started arguing."

Li Jianjun understood that it was probably Jia Zhang who asked Xiao Dang to come to him to plead for mercy, but Qin Huairu refused. Qin Huairu was okay, she wasn't that scheming. It was probably because Jia Dongxu wasn't dead yet and could still make a living. Looking at Qin Huairu's belly, it was estimated that Jia Dongxu didn't have much time left.

Li Jianjun looked at Xiaodang next to him again. Poor child, Qin Huairu and Xiaodang would be even more miserable without Jia Dongxu. Jia Zhangshi would not care about their life or death. At that time, she would only have Banggen in her eyes.

When we were almost done eating, Banggeng came to find Xiaodang. He was still the same chubby boy with a watermelon head. It was true that he was the only one who had eaten while the whole family was starving.

Bang Geng drooled at the noodles in Xiao Dang's bowl, then shouted to Li Jianjun, "I want some noodles, too."

Li Jianjun looked at the seven-year-old Banggeng, who was so rude that he came into the house without calling anyone and wanted to eat noodles: "No more, we've finished it all."

Xiaodang was a little scared. Li Jianjun saw that she must have been bullied by Banggeng a lot. He picked up Xiaodang's bowl and fed her the last bit of noodles.

When Banggeng saw that the noodles were gone, he burst into tears. As expected of a little fat boy, his voice was loud. Li Jianjun didn't tolerate him: "Shut up. If you want to cry, go outside and cry."

Banggeng was shocked. In the past, whenever he cried, his parents and grandma would come to comfort him and give him delicious food. But why didn’t this trick work? After all, he was still young. He was a little scared and ran straight home.

Li Jianjun looked at Xiaodang and asked, "Xiaodang, does your brother often bully you?"

Xiaodang choked with tears in his eyes: "My brother stole my steamed corn bread." Xiaodang was only four years old, there was no way he could snatch it from Banggeng. When Qin Huairu found out, she only said a few words to Banggeng. In addition, because of Jia Zhang's favoritism, in the end, Banggeng was fine, but the steamed corn bread was gone, and Xiaodang had to starve.

Jia Zhang would not let Qin Huairu make steamed wowotou for Xiaodang. As a result, Xiaodang had to starve. Qin Huairu loved her very much, but she had no choice but to save some for Xiaodang the next day to prevent Banggeng from snatching it away again. However, Xiaodang still often went hungry.

Li Jianjun picked up Xiaodang and comforted him: "Come to your uncle's house to eat in the future, okay? You can come anytime as long as your uncle is at home."

Xiaodang hugged Li Jianjun's neck and said in a baby voice, "Okay, thank you uncle." A good child should be well-mannered from an early age.

After dinner, she sent Xiaodang home and watched him go home. Jia Zhang wanted to say something when she saw Xiaodang coming back, but then she thought better of it. Qin Huairu was right. If she pissed off Li Jianjun, there would be more people to eat at home. It was better this way, let Xiaodang eat and drink his own food and drink.

As for Banggeng coming back and telling them about Li Jianjun's family, they didn't say anything. What else can they say when everything is gone? Do you still want them to do it for you alone?

The next day, Li Huaide called Li Jianjun into his office and asked, "Someone reported you yesterday. Is everything alright?"

"Uncle, the things are legitimate, nothing can happen. They are asking for trouble, they deserve it." Li Jianjun smiled.

Li Huaide frowned and said, "You are bullying my Li family, right? Jianjun, don't worry, I will help you. Don't think that you can get away with just 15 days of detention. The factory will also punish you."

In fact, Li Huaide called the police station yesterday because he wanted them to punish him severely, but the matter was not serious and it was not a crime, so he could only go through the procedures. So he thought of informing the factory leaders about the meeting today.

Yi Zhonghai should have also found Director Yang and told him about the matter, but he did not bring up the old lady. The old lady's favor was not worth wasting on Jia Dongxu. Yi Zhonghai is now a level seven fitter and has the hope of reaching level eight, so he still has some face. Director Yang just said that he would try his best.

After a heated discussion, mainly Li Huaide was very enthusiastic, and everyone in his faction supported him. Director Yang was a bit casual. After all, it was none of his business. He would not confront Li Huaide for a worker. Now was not the right time.

The punishment for Jia Dongxu is that he was demoted to a first-level fitter, was not allowed to take assessments for a year, and was required to compensate Li Jianjun for two months' salary. The punishment will take effect once Jia Dongxu is released.

Li Huaide wanted to fire Jia Dongxu, but the union would not allow it. Besides, encouraging reporting is for the sake of social stability, but the consequences of failed reporting will be borne by the individual himself, and the union will not allow Jia Dongxu to be fired.

Li Jianjun knew that Li Huaide had tried his best. The workers were now the big brothers, and he could not fire the workers unless they made serious mistakes, even if he slammed the table in front of the factory director.

The radio broadcasted it three times, and the whole story was revealed. This was Li Huaide's method. Everyone in the factory knew about it, and at the same time, they looked down on Jia Dongxu. It was estimated that no one would play with Jia Dongxu in the future. No one wanted to be reported suddenly. Who hasn't been to the black market these days? This is also considered speculation.

Yi Zhonghai listened to the radio, gritting his teeth. He didn't expect Li Huaide to make such a big fuss. Usually, he would punish him privately. If it wasn't serious, it wouldn't be broadcast on the radio. This was tantamount to trampling on Jia Dongxu's reputation. His rhetoric of doing good for others could only fool fools, such as Sha Zhu. No one else believed a word of it.

At this moment, Sha Zhu was in the second cafeteria and heard the broadcast: "Tell me, who are these people? Dong Xu reported him only because he was afraid that he would go astray. He should forgive Dong Xu."

Sha Zhu's weird remarks caused everyone in the second cafeteria to roll their eyes, looking at him like a fool.

The fool looked at them and said loudly: "What are you looking at? Am I wrong?" That's what the uncle said. How could the uncle be wrong? Besides, he saw Qin Huairu's anxious look yesterday and felt heartbroken.

The people in the second cafeteria ignored him and just did their own work, because as long as you pay attention to him, he will have some crooked reasons waiting for you, and when he can't win the argument, he will beat you up. This is Sha Zhu's way of doing things.

Seeing that no one was talking, Sha Zhu thought that everyone was convinced by him, nodded with satisfaction, and then sat on the chair and continued to drink tea, not knowing that everyone was treating him as a fool. Only Ma Hua wanted to say something but stopped, but in the end he didn't say anything. He knew Sha Zhu's temper, and if he said anything, he would definitely fight again.

The situation is different now. The third canteen has surpassed the second canteen, and Sha Zhu is no longer the only one. If there is a fight again, he will definitely be severely punished, so MCA will not say anything.
