Siheyuan: Sizhu starts blindly and takes a new path

After beating Xu Damao, Sha Zhu felt particularly happy. Although he had beaten that bastard many times since he was a child, he had never felt so good as today. Even the soles of his feet were a little painful. That guy's bones shouldn't be so hard.

Now Lou Xiao'e is still Xu Damao's wife, not the lovely girl who knows right from wrong, so take it slow. The fog that has been bothering Sha Zhu for the past few days suddenly dissipated.

Sha Zhu thought that if he couldn't figure it out in the future, he could beat Xu Damao more to make himself feel better.

"My silly brother, why did you hit Xu Damao so hard today? You weren't so cruel before."

"Yushui, I've discovered that Xu Damao is a scumbag. If I don't beat him hard, he won't learn his lesson. Next time I get the chance, I'll beat him even harder."

"Brother, you should be more careful next time. If you beat him up, you will also suffer. It's not worth it." Yu Shui persuaded Sha Zhu, "By the way, when you beat him up today, you said 'I told you to steal my wife'. When did Xu Damao steal your wife? Did Lou Xiao'e have a blind date with you before? How come I didn't know that?"

"Shh." Sha Zhu quickly covered Yu Shui's mouth, "Little girl, don't talk nonsense. It will be terrible if someone hears it. You must have heard it wrong. What I said was that I asked you to rob me of my happiness. He does bad things to me every day, isn't he robbing me of my happy life?"

"Oh." Yu Shui expressed disbelief, but there was nothing she could do. "By the way, I'm going to register at the new school tomorrow. I told you."

"I see. If you are a technical secondary school student, you will be a government official in the future. Someone in the He family will be an official now, which is a great honor for the family." Sha Zhu said, taking out 10 yuan and handing it to Yu Shui. "It's not a lot of money. Although the technical secondary school has subsidies, it's not a big deal to have money in your pocket."

"Thank you, silly brother." Yu Shui took the money and thought of something else, "Mrs. Jia is really a piece of shit. Sister Qin is such a good person who is diligent and filial, but she still beats her. Brother, you should help Sister Qin more in the future."

Sha Zhu was shocked: I couldn't hide enough, but you let me approach you. You are really my good sister. Why do you think Qin Huairu is good? So Sha Zhu said angrily: "Why should I care? There are rumors about this. If I help you more, you will become a couple in the future. Do you want your brother to marry a widow with children?"

"Well, other widows with children can't do it, but Sister Qin can make do."

"You want to make do, but I don't. Don't worry about my affairs, just study hard. I won't send you off tomorrow." Sha Zhu was a little angry.

Yu Shui didn't care about Sha Zhu's reaction and said casually, "It's okay. My classmates will go to the new school with me tomorrow."

Director Wang of the canteen heard from the workers who eat in the second canteen that Sha Zhu's dishes are sometimes raw, sometimes overcooked and chewy, and sometimes so salty that it looks like the salt seller was beaten to death. The quality is very unstable. The workers said: "If it's old, we can chew it better. If it's salty, we can drink more water. But if it's raw, it's hard to cook and it's easy to get a stomachache. The point is, Sha Zhu used to cook delicious food. What's wrong with him recently? Has he encountered any difficulties? Director, you should pay more attention to your comrades."

No matter how good the workers and the people are, when they are wronged, they only think of the people who caused them discomfort.

While cooking in the morning, Director Wang called Sha Zhu and told him the comrades' feedback, asking him to put aside what was in his mind, serve the people well, prepare good meals, and let the comrades eat and drink well, so that they could work better, contribute to socialist construction, and stride towards communism.

After hearing this, Sha Zhu did not understand Director Wang's good intentions. He felt that Director Wang was too busy and that the workers had never had good food, but he always liked to make trouble. He rolled his eyes and pouted and walked out. Director Wang was so angry that he slammed the table, rubbed his hands, and cursed Sha Zhu as a bastard.

Sha Zhu was in a good mood today, and the food he cooked was delicious, but it was a little less, but not for everyone. Sha Zhu would give more to the pretty female comrades, and would shake the spoon for others. In the evening, he filled two lunch boxes again.

This situation continued for several days. Director Wang went to the second canteen at noon to see if the workers' reactions to Sha Zhu had changed.

Well, it has changed, not for the better, but for the worse. Comrades reported that: everyone got the same portion, but the pretty female comrades couldn't finish it, but us rough guys didn't have enough to eat.

Director Wang took a walk around the cafeteria and found that the workers were all telling the truth.

When it was almost time to get off work in the afternoon, Director Wang went to the second canteen again and called out all the cooks and temporary workers.

The director asked the squad leader: "Recently, there are problems with the food in your second canteen. First, it is sometimes raw and sometimes salty. Now the workers are not full. Is it because the ingredients you provide are not enough?"

The squad leader replied: "Report to the director, it is enough. The dishes are allocated to our canteen according to regulations."

"Then tell me, your canteen didn't increase the number of workers, so how could the workers not have enough to eat? Our steel rolling mill has many jobs that require great strength, especially your second canteen. The workers in the corresponding workshops three and four all need physical strength. What if an accident like Jia Dongxu happens again because of hunger? Will you be responsible?"

"Director, don't scare me, I didn't do anything." The squad leader said weakly.

"There are enough ingredients, but not enough rice. What about the leftovers? Did you share them?"

"No, we all have normal portions."

"Bring your lunch boxes here." Everyone put their lunch boxes on the table.

"Silly, where's yours?"

“I didn’t take the lunch box.”

Director Wang didn't believe it. If you don't take the lunch box, you won't eat. The food ration is small now. People in state-owned units and factories can eat at work and save the ration at home. Director Wang searched in the kitchen and found a lunch box full of vegetables. "Whose is this?"

Everyone was silent, and Director Wang said angrily, "Since you guys are silent, the blame will fall on all of you. You are deducting money from your co-workers to enrich yourselves."

Sha Zhu didn't want to implicate others, so he had to stand up and admit that the lunch box was his.

"I already knew that this was yours. Your behavior, at the very least, harms others and nourishes yourself; at the worst, it is stealing public property, disrupting production, and undermining socialism."

"Director, Director, please be merciful." The squad leader hurried over to grab the director and pulled him aside. "Director, Sha Zhu took the lunch box to help Jia Dongxu's family. Yi Zhonghai from the third workshop came to me and asked me to turn a blind eye to this matter. You also know that the person who died was his apprentice, and it was not easy for a widow and an orphan. Besides, Sha Zhu's cooking skills are there, and the factory leaders' banquet cannot do without him. If you treat him too harshly, it will make you look unkind and offend the factory leaders, right?"

Director Wang listened to the advice. He nodded at the squad leader, thought for a moment, then returned to his original position and pointed at Sha Zhu, saying, "If your squad leader hadn't pleaded for you, you would have punished me. But you did something wrong after all, and it would be unfair to others if you didn't punish them. Starting tomorrow, you will be transferred to the workshop. Go and see how the workers work and see if it's hard work. Do you think you are doing a good job for them and your own conscience? Examine yourself carefully."
