Siheyuan: Breaking up with Shazhu at the beginning
Chapter 36 Losing Face
36
He had just taken out the pork when there was a noise outside the door.
After opening the door, Yang Jun saw that it was Mr. Wei and his team standing outside.
They brought a dozen trucks and thirty steel plant workers, mainly because the large amount of pork needed additional vehicle support.
"Oh my god, team leader, you are awesome! I have never seen such a huge amount of pork in my life.
"
Seeing the mountain of pigs in the warehouse, Old Wei shouted in surprise, and his rat eyes became surprisingly large.
The thirty or so workers who accompanied them were equally shocked and at a loss.
"How long would it take for one person to eat enough?"
"Han Lao San, what are you thinking about? You ate all the meat by yourself. How can we survive?"
"No matter what, we can have a rich festival this year. We haven't had meat in our family for half a year."
After Yang Jun directed the convoy to change direction, he ordered the loading to begin and prepare for transportation.
(Also accompanying the vehicle were the Chief of Finance, Chief Hua, and four accountants. Each of them carried a scale, one watched the scale while the other took notes. It took them more than two hours to load all the meat.
Hua Haiyang, the head of the Finance Department, looked at Yang Jun with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Team Leader Yang has solved a big problem for the factory this time. All employees in the factory can enjoy a rich holiday this year."
"This is the responsibility of the purchasing department. You are too polite, Chief." Yang Jun chuckled.
Hua Haiyang handed over a form. "The total amount of live pork is 58,723.4 jin, which is more than 8,000 jin more than before. Team Leader Yang, is this okay?"
"Yes, that's exactly it."
Although Yang Jun was not clear about the exact quantity, he had picked up the goods according to 60,000 kilograms and could only agree with Hua Haiyang's words.
Yang Jun pulled Hua Haiyang aside, looked around to see if there was anyone around, and whispered, "The extra 8,000 kilograms of pork needs to be handed over to Deputy Factory Director Li Huaide separately. Do you understand this?"
Hearing this, Hua Haiyang smiled knowingly, patted Yang Jun on the shoulder, and then pointed to the last two cars, "I just checked the weight and I have made arrangements.
Don't worry, Chief Yang, leave this kind of small matter to me, you are one of us, don't worry."
Yang Jun nodded, and the two smiled at each other, showing a tacit understanding between them.
The extra 8,000 kilograms of pork was intended to repay Li Huaide's debt of favor.
Although Yi Qiu Shui was assigned this job by a senior leader, it was actually Yang Jun who asked for help first.
Although I was unable to lend a helping hand, the friendship is already in my heart.
This pork is not only a way to express gratitude to others, but also strengthens the relationship between the two parties and expresses Yang Jun's attitude towards reception.
The message he wants to convey is: we are all in this together.
It is natural to help your fellow man.
Hua Haiyang took the bill and calculated: "The total weight of raw pork is 58,924.4 jin.
The current market price is 75 cents per pound, but because we don’t have a ticket to purchase, we can only subsidize 20% of the overspending, which converts to 90 cents per pound, so the total price is..."
He checked the figures again: "The total cost is forty-five,990 yuan."
Yang Jun called out in the direction of the second uncle's house, and the answer that followed was loud and clear: "Coming."
Liu Guangtian rushed out of the house suddenly, his face full of anticipation.
"Brother Junzi, what's the matter?"
Second uncle Liu Haizhong had already told him to pay attention to Yang Jun's affairs.
Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, the cousins, had nothing to do after graduating from high school and wandered around the alleys all day. They had heard that Yang Jun would help the eldest brother find a job and hoped to benefit from it.
Hearing the call, Liu Guangtian came to Yang Jun without hesitation.
"Brother, if you need to find someone, leave it to us. Fuzi and I can handle these furniture."
"Guangfu, come here quickly!" As soon as the words fell, Liu Guangfu seemed to have obtained an accelerator and appeared in front of Yang Jun almost instantly.
----------------------------
When he noticed Yang Jun calling out to Liu Guangtian, he couldn't help feeling a little jealous, thinking that the opportunity to show himself in front of Yang Jun was truly rare.
He was also very clear about Liu Guangqi's affairs, and also believed that Yang Jun might bring good luck to their brothers.
Therefore, after hearing the call, he rushed out without hesitation.
"Brother Junzi, please give me your orders." Liu Guangfu said to Yang Jun with a flattering look on his face.
Seeing Liu Guangfu's expression, Yang Jun understood what he meant, but he did not expose him. He just asked the two of them to help move the furniture.
"You two help me move this furniture in."
Under his precise guidance, the brothers moved one piece of furniture after another.
The spacious master bedroom bed was stuck in the stairwell due to its size, so it had to be disassembled, carried upstairs and then reassembled.
Other beds and tables and cabinets followed, and finally the furnishings in the living room.
Well-placed furniture makes the empty living room full of homely atmosphere.
"Come on, let's go have a nice meal together."
Seeing that the two brothers were sweating profusely, he thought this was a considerate reason and suggested that they go out for dinner.
Liu Guangfu: "Brother Junzi, forget it, it's just a piece of cake."
Liu Guangtian quickly agreed: "Yes, it's time for dinner soon, so we can just eat at home."
Yang Jun did not allow any arguments, "Don't waste time, it's a rare opportunity for me to treat you to a meal, eat more!"
Seeing that the two were still trying to refuse, he grabbed their collars and dragged them out the door.
The three of them ordered a dish of stewed meat with potatoes, pickled cabbage with vinegar, and fried potatoes with chili peppers, as well as three large bowls of steamed corn bread at a small restaurant.
The two brothers, who could not even afford eggs at home on normal days, drooled at the bowl full of delicious meat slices, with greed flashing in their eyes.
Although Yang Jun didn't like fatty meat, he loved dishes with the aroma of meat. He just tasted a few bites of potatoes, paired with sweet and sour vinegar cabbage, and swallowed five steamed buns in one breath.
He glanced at his watch and remembered that it was time to pick up Yi Qiu Shui from get off work. He said hello to Guangtian and Guangfu, let the two brothers eat first, and then drove to the factory.
"Let's go to 'Lao Mo'. I want to attend a party." Yi Qiu Shui told Yang Jun in the car.
"Party? What party do you have?" He was a little confused when he heard the word, especially when it was brought up by his fiancée, he became even more sensitive.
Although the fiancée is called this, she is not his wife after all. The difference of one word has a profound meaning.
Too much discipline is rude, too little is neglect.
Seeing that he seemed indifferent, Yi Qiu Shui pouted slightly, perhaps dissatisfied with Yang Jun's attitude. Other men might have become jealous in this situation, but he just took it calmly.
"My friends in the compound heard that I'm back, wouldn't they want to get together?"
"Then let's get together."
When he learned that it was a gathering of a group of acquaintances from the compound, Yang Jun felt a little more relaxed. As long as there were female friends present, other opposite sexes would not cause him undue worry.
The two arrived at Lao Mo's house and had just gotten out of the car when they saw a group of people gathered at the door.
Some of them were wearing national defense green uniforms, some were wearing Zhongshan suits, and some were wearing military coats or cadre uniforms. The women were chattering and it was very lively, attracting the curious glances of passers-by on the street.
A row of bicycles were parked neatly at the door. A few young men were sitting on the ground with their feet on the ground, smoking cigarettes and chatting happily.
As soon as they got out of the car, those people immediately surrounded Yang Jun and Yi Qiu Shui, asking her about her recent situation. Only Yang Jun was left standing alone, watching Yi Qiu Shui go in with everyone.
He wondered whether he should join in as well, not wanting to appear weak and have Yi Qiu Shui think that he was not ready for marriage.
At this time, a young man in the crowd got off his bicycle, walked up to Yi Qiu Shui and greeted her with concern, as if he was trying to find some common topic.
The young man had a square face and a high nose bridge. He wore a military coat and cadre leather boots, exuding the air of an upper-class person.
He said, "Qiu Shui, I haven't seen you for many years. You have become even more charming."
Three or five young men who looked like his followers behind him echoed, "Sister Qiushui, Brother Yuemin just came back from the border just to invite you to dinner."
"Yes, Sister Qiushui, Brother Yuemin has always thought of you over the years."
Li Qiu Shui kept smiling and just nodded politely without saying anything in response.
Yang Jun was smoking a cigarette in the corner. He heard their conversation and realized that it seemed to be more than just concern, but seemed to be full of love.
He put out his cigarette, turned and stepped into the crowd.
After entering the restaurant, this group of people occupied the largest long table and began to order food enthusiastically.
Yi Qiu Shui was arranged to sit in the main seat. A girl with twin ponytails gave her a secret signal from behind and then squeezed in next to Yi Qiu Shui.
Zhong Yuemin cast a grateful look at the girl and was about to sit down next to Yi Qiu Shui.
Yi Qiu Shui noticed all this and immediately waved to Yang Jun when he came in.
"Yang Jun, come over here."
Yang Jun was stunned for a moment, but still sat down as he was told.
Zhong Yuemin, who was standing behind the two men, saw that his seat was occupied by a stranger and his face instantly darkened.
The people who were traveling with him also looked at Yang Jun suspiciously.
Noticing the situation, Yi Qiushui quickly stood up, took Yang Jun's arm and introduced him to everyone: "He is my fiancé Yang Jun, and we will be married soon."
The restaurant was silent for a moment, and everyone looked at Li Qiu Shui in disbelief.
It was hard for everyone to accept that the cold-hearted Li Qiu Shui was suddenly going to enter into married life. It was as if the world had changed drastically.
Since she was a child, she has been like a shining star in everyone's hearts. Whether on campus or in the yard, she has always been the center of attention.
There is no shortage of devoted suitors around her, but Zhong Yue is particularly fond of her among that group of boys, and has held on to her for many years and has not let go until now.
Zhong Yuemin glanced at Yi Qiushui, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips: "Qiushui, your husband is actually a disabled person?"
Faced with such accusations, before Yang Jun could respond, Yi Qiushui became furious, stood up seriously, and shouted to him: "Brother Yuemin, I hope you can say words of blessing instead of such unreasonable insults."
Glancing at the crowd, Yi Qiushui added, "And my fiancé is not disabled. He is the supreme hero in my eyes."
Zhong Yuemin glanced at Yang Jun again and said contemptuously: "Hero? This word doesn't deserve it, does it?"
After seeing that Yi Qiu Shui was already taken, Zhong Yuemin lost his confidence. His previous humility and elegance disappeared in an instant. A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he wanted to attack Yang Jun immediately.
The companions who came with him did not think there was anything wrong with Zhong Yuemin's words, but instead thought that Yi Qiu Shui was exaggerating.
What is a hero?
These children born in military compounds are full of yearning for heroes. They believe that only their parents' generation is qualified to be called heroes, and they regard other people as irrelevant.
---
At this time, hearing Yang Jun being called a hero, they felt it was absurd in their hearts, and felt that apart from their parents, no one else could be called a hero.
Yin Qiushui's face turned pale, and she was shaking with anger. Facing the mocking expressions of her companions, she could not contain her anger: "A bunch of arrogant guys, who among you can tell me who has won two first-class merits, three second-class merits, and countless third-class merits? Is it you, or your parents?"
Yang Jun knew Yi Qiu Shui very well and knew that the honors and awards he had won were an important reason why she decided to marry him - beauty and heroes have always been a beautiful story.
Her words were like a boiling pot of water, causing a strong response.
“Two first-class merits? How is that possible!” Everyone looked at Yang Jun’s handsome face with disbelief. It was hard to imagine that he would achieve such an achievement. Even among their elders, few had such an honor.
Patting Yi Qiushui's hand gently to comfort her, Yang Jun picked up the chopsticks on the table, narrowed his eyes, and whispered: "These seemingly ordinary chopsticks are actually a good thing. They were my weapons when I was secretly operating in the Northeast.
If it weren’t for the five of them, I probably wouldn’t have been able to come back.”
After lighting a cigarette, he glanced at Zhong Yuemin and the others provocatively, and slammed his chopsticks into the table: "Oops!"
Everyone retreated in panic.
Insert the chopsticks straight and firmly on the table, stopping only when they are halfway in.
Everyone, including Yi Qiu Shui, was stunned by this move.
In silent gaze, people still stared at the chopsticks on the table.
Especially Zhong Yuemin, sweat was pouring down his back.
