Siheyuan: Full of Love

"Da Zhuang, why are you late for your shift today? You are usually very punctual."

"Traffic jam!"

. . .

What's the reason? Traffic jam? There are not even three or five bicycles on the whole street!

If you say that I am blocking people, I can still listen to it.

"Brother Wang, you didn't eat breakfast, did you? I brought you two steamed buns, they're still warm."

"Oh! Thanks, Da Zhuang!"

"Did anything happen last night?"

"No, there was no such thing, but there seemed to be some noise in the fitter's workshop around five in the morning. We went to check it out, but we couldn't find out what the cause was."

"What's that noise?"

"It sounded like something sliding, but we looked carefully for a long time and couldn't find the source. The sound was very small."

“Is it still ringing now?”

"It rang intermittently for about twenty minutes and then stopped, and the police reported it.

The leader checked with the workshop director there and said that it seemed that a bearing part was broken due to the cold weather. "

Zhang Dazhuang made a record of these and asked him to sign.

"Da Zhuang, I'm leaving now. The steel mill is in your hands today! There's a traffic jam today so I have to go back quickly."

Zhang Dazhuang...

The security department of the steel rolling mill takes turns on duty during the New Year. Each team is divided into three groups, plus the team leader and section chief, a total of ten groups.

Each group is on duty for a day and a night, and takes over the next morning.

Each group has a temporary team leader, and Zhang Dazhuang is currently the temporary team leader of their group.

Ten groups of people draw lots to decide which day they will be on duty.

If the lottery is drawn on New Year's Eve, that would be considered unlucky.

Fortunately, Zhang Dazhuang picked Xiaonian'er, which means he was on duty today.

Actually, there was nothing wrong. The workers were all on holiday and there was no one in the steel mill.

All they can do is carry out routine patrol checks.

Prevent someone from coming in and stealing things.

"If you ask me, it doesn't matter whether we come or not, this area has been cleaned up by Brother Dazhuang."

"Yes, the police station hasn't sent out any police officers in several days."

"Team leader, why don't we go back?"

Everyone was joking.

. . .

Zhang Dazhuang said: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and do what you need to do. It's only one day before the New Year. Will patrolling and checking make you exhausted?

Cheer up, everyone. If something happens, it will be embarrassing for us if we don't know about it."

"Yes! Let's go, let's go."

. . .

Everyone started to get busy.

After a whole morning of careful patrol and inspection, the steel mill was checked inside and out.

Nothing happened.

However, Zhang Dazhuang still divided the members of a team into two shifts and took turns patrolling.

We also take turns eating at noon.

"Da Zhuang, is it necessary for us to do this?"

Zhang Dazhuang said: "When I took over in the morning, Team Leader Wang told me that there was a noise in the fitter's workshop around five o'clock this morning."

"Oh, I know that too. Didn't we check with their workshop director in the end? He said that a part of a machine tool might be broken."

Zhang Dazhuang shook his head, "I always feel something is wrong. It's been a day, so let's all work harder today, especially to cheer up at night."

"Okay, team leader, I'll listen to you!"

. . .

Near noon, You Fengxia came on her bike to bring food to Zhang Dazhuang.

Hey, this little girl is quite caring.

"Sister-in-law, are you here to see our team leader?"

"Sister-in-law, why don't you give me the lunch box and I'll give it to Brother Dazhuang."

"With such a beautiful sister-in-law, I decided to make friends with Dazhuang brother and become a good friend of him."

. . .

Amid the jeers of his colleagues, Zhang Dazhuang calmly took the lunch box.

"Why did you think of bringing me food? Have you eaten?" Zhang Dazhuang asked with a smile.

"I'm worried that you're not full!" You Fengxia said with a mischievous smile.

"I'll go back and eat with Moth and the others. Moth said he learned a new dish at noon today."

Zhang Dazhuang raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Learning a dish a day? That's progress."

You Fengxia smiled and said, "Xu Damao doesn't want Ezi to cook, but Ezi still refuses to do so. She said she doesn't have to cook but she must learn how to cook."

"Haha, that's right."

Zhang Dazhuang looked at her. His colleagues were all around, so it was difficult to do anything intimate, so he could only chat briefly.

"Okay, go back and eat, and don't come over tonight. I'll be back tomorrow morning. If you're scared to be alone at night, let Xiao'e sleep with you."

You Fengxia nodded, got on her bike and went home.

"Sister-in-law is not only pretty, but also very caring and brave. Team leader, you should pay for it."

"Yes, brother Dazhuang, where did such a beautiful wife come from?"

"When did you go blind? This is Accountant You from the Finance Department of our factory."

"Oh my god, they're still working in our factory? They're both working!"

. . .

"I won't refute you when you praise my wife. I'm just lucky!"

Zhang Dazhuang said proudly.

If you knew that my wife is not only beautiful but also rich, I won’t have to worry about food anymore.

I wonder if you will be jealous?

Zhang Dazhuang thought happily.

My wife’s loving lunch, let’s eat!

Zhang Dazhuang opened the lunch box. Wow! Two white flour buns, a roast chicken, and a bowl of egg drop soup.

The red and yellow color looks appetizing, but where do the tomatoes come from at this time?

While it was still hot, Zhang Dazhuang took a sip. Oh, it was carrot slices.

But why did this spendthrift woman buy a roast chicken?

Whenever I eat roast chicken, I think of Jia Zhang.

We can't learn to waste money like her, we have to make a living.

Uh, never mind. Since you have a little money in your pocket, just go ahead and learn it.

Zhang Dazhuang broke off two chicken legs and gave the rest to his colleagues.

"Share it among yourselves and eat it."

"Wow! Roast chicken! The team leader is awesome!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's my sister-in-law who is mighty!"

"Thank you, Brother Dazhuang. We're having meat today."

Everyone tore the roast chicken in half, gave each a piece, and started eating happily.

The other half is kept for the next shift.

Zhang Dazhuang gnawed on chicken legs and ate white flour steamed buns, drinking egg drop soup from time to time.

Beautiful!

"Team leader, this roast chicken is really delicious. It's not cheap, is it?"

"Hey, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, this is my first time eating this."

"What's the joke? Me too."

Zhang Dazhuang smiled and said, "This is the New Year's goods I bought. I wanted to save it for the New Year. Now I'm giving it to you at a discount."

"Haha, Brother Dazhuang, we won't be polite then."

"You're talking nonsense! You've already eaten all the chicken skin."

"Hey, the chicken in your bowl is good. Let me try it."

. . .

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they began to change shifts.

When the next bus arrived, I was very happy to see roast chicken to eat.

He kept saying thank you to Zhang Dazhuang.
