The life of a villain in a courtyard

"Neighbor? How can you still be so naive after all this?

You treat her as a neighbor, but she doesn't take us seriously. Otherwise, why are we here? Listen to me, we must hold on this time and knock Qin Huairu down, otherwise there will be no peace in the courtyard in the future."

Sha Zhu nodded and said nothing more.

The two of them persisted in the warehouse for another two days. During these two days, Qin Huairu tried various ways to get them to come out and find Chen Li and Liu Yan, but they were turned away. Even though she had to admit her mistakes, it was useless.

On the third day, Qin Huairu was removed from her position by Director Li and returned to the kitchen of the second canteen.

Then he asked Liu Haizhong to find two people and told them to come out quickly and not stay in the warehouse and wait for death.

"Ouch! It's so hot outside. Why don't we go back to the warehouse?"

"Don't be so ungrateful, you two! Go back and clean up. You haven't showered in a few days and you smell. The director is going to treat all the leaders to a meal tomorrow. Go back and prepare well and don't let the director down!"

After returning, they took a shower and changed their clothes.

"Stupid column!"

That night, Sha Zhu went out to fetch water and saw Qin Huairu with tears in her eyes.

"Qin Huairu, what are you doing? Scaring people will kill them!"

"Zhuzi! I have something to tell you, too."

"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't call me like that. It's not good for others to hear."

"Zhu Zi, why have you changed? Your attitude towards me has changed. You used to call me Sister Qin, but now you call me by my name."

Sha Zhu got hard, his fists got hard. No wonder Yu Shui always called himself a fool before. Why didn’t he realize that Qin Huairu was so disgusting earlier!

"Are you okay? If not, I'm leaving."

"No, don't go. I have something to tell you. Zhuzi, can you let me work for you?"

"You're doing well in the Second Canteen, why do you want to come here?"

In the more than one month since she became the team leader, she has offended everyone in the Second Canteen. If she had not been afraid of Director Li, she would have been kicked out.

"They all bully me. Today, I had to move 500 kilograms of potatoes by myself. Look at my hands. They are all calloused."

As he said this, he placed his hand on Shazhu's hand.

Sha Zhu shook him off and said disdainfully, "I'm just a cook. I can't help you with this. Don't you have Li Huaide behind you? He's the boss of our factory. Ask him to change it for you. How can I, a squad leader, have the power to do that? My wife is looking for me, so I'm going back first."

Sha Zhu stayed outside for too long and Liu Yan came out just in time to see him.

"Why are you talking to her again?"

"You misunderstood. It's not me who wants to talk to her, it's her who insists on looking for me. Don't worry, I will stay away from him in the future."

Sha Zhu swore and made up his mind never to talk to her again, which would affect the harmony of the family.

……

In the blink of an eye, several months had passed. Today was the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the steel mill paid wages and distributed New Year's goods to all the workers.

This year's New Year's goods are the most shabby in history.

Each person was only given a little white flour, nothing else.

Most of the factory departments in Beijing were on strike, and supplies were in serious shortage. Even buyers like them were greatly affected.

We couldn't receive anything from the countryside, and the monthly purchasing tasks could not be completed. There was no news on the equipment and machinery orders placed with various factories because they were also on strike or forced to strike, and everyone was in a lot of trouble.

All their paths have been cut off.

"Is this all we have this year? Where's the meat? Didn't we have two pounds of meat last year? You guys must have taken it all! Bring it out now or don't blame me for calling the boss."

Some workers were dissatisfied with the pitiful supplies and had started to make trouble.

"Go ahead and look for it. If you think it's too little, we think it's too little. We found these after searching the warehouse. If you don't want them, just stay away. We don't want to give them to you yet."

When the man heard what Ma Hua said, he became even angrier. His master pulled him aside and said a few words to him. Then he reluctantly came back, apologized to Ma Hua, took his share and left.

"Next……"

An hour later, in the canteen kitchen.

"Ma Hua, have you distributed all the stuff?"

“It’s finished, but no one is very satisfied.”

“Who can be satisfied with this?”

As he spoke, he shook the portion that belonged to him in his hand. Recently, fewer and fewer people asked him to prepare banquets.

"Okay, you should go back too. Go to the street early tomorrow and buy things early. If you go too late, you might not be able to buy them."

After receiving the gifts, everyone who needed to go home went home. Although many things happened, we still had to celebrate the New Year. After all, it only comes once a year.

"Old man, why did you only bring back so little this year?"

"These are all we were given at the factory. Life is hard for everyone, there is nothing we can do."

The same conversation happens in many people's homes, and they don't know what to do about it.

On the other side, Chen Li received her share of New Year's goods from the tavern.

Because of Su Yun, she got two extra pork elbows and a few pounds of ribs. Su Yun likes to eat meat on the bone the most. This kind of food that no one wants at other times is truly a delicacy to him.

"Chen Li, you guys are also distributing New Year's goods!"

They all have formal jobs and look down on Chen Li, a waitress in the pub. Since it is not a state-owned enterprise with a low status, they usually look down on her when talking about her, always feeling that they are superior to her.

"Sent."

"What's there?"

As he said this, he stretched out his hand, wanting to open the backpack and take a look.

"Hey hey hey hey, what are you doing?"

Sha Zhu came over to help Chen Li out of the predicament.

"Did they let you see it? You have no manners at all."

"What good things can a waiter in a tavern have? He is so mysterious."

Chen Li pushed the cart home and moved her things inside.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Su Yun didn't come back. Director Li asked him to go out and drink with her again. There were only a few dogs at home.

"Giggle cluck."

Chunxuan held Dapang's little paws and laughed non-stop.

Chen Li carried Chunxuan into the inner room and let the dogs in to play with her, while she did the housework outside.

Inside the house, several dogs circled around her nervously, fearing that something might happen to her.

"Hey, turtle! Su Yun, where did you buy the turtle from?"

Su Yun came back, and in addition to the flour distributed by the factory, he also had a reward from Director Li, which included five kilograms of flour, three kilograms of pork, ten eggs, a bottle of wine and two boxes of cigarettes.

What a generous act! As for this turtle, it is from his space. There are at least hundreds of them in the pond. He can eat as many as he wants.

"I just passed by the river and saw someone catch one. He spent eight dollars to buy it. Uncle, didn't you go and catch a few?"

"Which river? I'll go there now!"

After asking for the location, Yan Fugui went there with his bucket and fishing rod. He really couldn't wait at all.

Su Yun had so many things in his hands that he made countless people envious and jealous.

"Look at them. They brought back so much stuff. They're all from the same factory. Why do you only have these two kilograms of flour?"

Liu Erzhu's wife pinched her husband's ear and chattered incessantly. They were a large family of seven, only two of whom had jobs. The family conditions were not good, and they were all waiting for the "relief food" distributed by the factory.

"He is so close to Director Li every day, he must be given special care!"

"Then can't you think of a way to get Director Li to pay attention to you?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Director Li is the leader of the inspection team. What is the inspection team? How many people who go in can come back safe and sound? Can't you, a spendthrift woman, think of me a little better?"

Unexpectedly, he just didn't put his things away and caused a family crisis.

"You're back, and you smell like alcohol again. Drinking less is not good for your health."

Chen Li was quite dissatisfied with this.

She knew an alcoholic who had to drink three times a day. In the end, he could not walk steadily, his hands shook when he picked up things, and he looked completely useless.

"I can't help it. Director Li asked me to drink with him, so how can I not go? And these things, I can't get them back if I don't drink."

"Director Li is quite generous and gave me a lot of things. What should I do with these cigarettes and alcohol?"

Chen Li remembered that Su Yun didn't smoke, didn't like drinking, and usually never drank at all.

"Send it to your brother. He likes these things. Life at home is not easy. Let him enjoy them during the New Year."

"Take a look at what else you want to buy at home. Let's get up early tomorrow so we can go early and come back early."
