Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

When he got home from get off work, the phonograph that Mr. Liu gave him caused quite a stir in the courtyard.

They had seen radios and sewing machines in those days, but this was the first time they had seen a phonograph.

"Chen Jun, how do you use this thing? Does this speaker emit sound outward?"

"Let me take a look, let me take a look, I know what this is!" Xu Damao stretched his neck to squeeze in, pointed at the phonograph and said, "There's a plate underneath, it will spin when the power is turned on, and the sound will come out of the speaker."

Xu Damao looked at the phonograph in front of him and drooled with envy.

They were clearly going to the leader's house to work together, but he was cheated by a woman he didn't know.

Not only was he unable to perform in front of his superiors, but he was kicked out before the movie even started.

Xu Damao was so angry that he kept cursing all the way.

If that woman hadn't caused trouble, I might have been able to ask my leader to deliver something.

Even if it's just a book or a pen, he can still brag about it in the Propaganda Department.

"Chen Jun, let's play the phonograph and let everyone listen to what's going on." Liu Haizhong suggested with a smile.

There was a real lack of entertainment options in the hospital. After hearing what Liu Haizhong said, everyone looked at Chen Jun expectantly.

"Okay, Xu Damao, go find a table. I'll put the phonograph in the yard so that everyone can listen to it."

Chen Jun is not a stingy person. When he was young, he often went to his friends’ houses to watch movies. It is quite interesting to recall that feeling.

If televisions were available on the market in a few years, the courtyard would definitely become very lively at night.

When a family buys a TV, everyone in the hospital comes to watch TV.

"Okay!" Xu Damao happily went to move the table and pull the electrical wires.

After the phonograph was adjusted, melodious sounds came out of it. People in the yard brought stools and benches one after another and didn't even have time to eat.

Chen Jun did not stay here to join in the fun. He arranged for Lin Yao to watch here and went home to cook.

At the backyard door, Jia Zhang looked at the people in the yard who were gathered together listening to music, and her triangular eyes were about to burst into anger.

This damn Chen Jun is showing off again.

I really don't know how I got so lucky to get such a rare item.

When the Jia family first bought a sewing machine, things weren't that lively.

"Bah, there's nothing to be proud of. How can a whining machine be as useful as a sewing machine?"

After quietly spitting at the people in the yard, Jia Zhang turned around and left angrily.

But as soon as he turned around, he ran into Yi Zhonghai head-on.

"What's going on in the backyard? Why is it so lively?" Yi Zhonghai asked with a frown.

He went to the vegetable market after get off work, so he came back late.

Jia Zhang looked down at the sausages and pork belly in his hands, and her eyes lit up.

"Follow me, this is not the place to talk."

As Jia Zhang said this, she pulled Yi Zhonghai back to the Jia residence. Yi Zhonghai didn't want to go at first, but this old lady Jia Zhang had quite a strong hand.

"Oh, let go!" Yi Zhonghai shook his hands in disgust.

The trauma of being misunderstood by the aunt last time has not yet passed, so Yi Zhonghai doesn't want to get so close to Jia Zhang from the bottom of his heart.

"What did you buy? Let me see it."

Once they got into the house, Jia Zhang stopped pretending and reached out to grab Yi Zhonghai's sausage.

Fortunately, Yi Zhonghai was prepared and hid the sausages behind him: "Don't grab them, these are for Chen Jun. Didn't I buy meat for you a few days ago? Did you eat it all?"

The pork used for the banquet was bought by Yi Zhonghai, and there was several kilograms of it.

The banquet did not take place, and Yi Zhonghai did not ask the Jia family to return the things, because he knew the character of Jia Zhangshi. There was no way he could get the things back once they were in their house.

"What the hell? Bought it for that bastard Chen Jun? You've betrayed me too?" Jia Zhang was furious when she heard this.

She hasn't had time to settle the score for Sha Zhu yet, and now Yi Zhonghai is not behaving himself?

"What betrayal? The cafeteria has been shaking the spoons these days and we have been hungry for every meal. When Dongxu recovers, he will definitely be targeted by Chen Jun. I am paving the way for Dongxu!" Yi Zhonghai explained with a headache.

Ever since he offended Chen Jun that time, the canteen had been shaking the spoon for him for many days in a row. He tried three canteens, but he was never full every time.

It's okay once or twice, but if it keeps shaking for a long time, no one can stand it.

It’s useless to ask the leader, so I can only ask Chen Jun.

"Master, if you give Chen Jun something, isn't that giving in to him?"

Jia Dongxu heard the noise and came out from behind the curtain.

The Chen family was extremely poor before, and the three members of the family were almost starving to death. When Jia Dongxu saw Chen Jun before, he was too lazy to even look at him.

In fact, it's not just Chen Jun. Jia Dongxu also looks down on people like Sha Zhu and Xu Damao.

After all, he is the most successful young person in the courtyard. Not only does he have a decent job, but he also has a beautiful wife.

But who would have thought that such a short time later, Chen Jun would actually take off.

Not only did he buy a car and a house, he also became the leader of a steel mill.

Chen Jun, who was once not worthy of his attention, could now easily force his master to bow his head.

This kind of thing made Jia Dongxu feel very uncomfortable.

"Dongxu, I'm doing this for your own good. I don't mind, but you're young and have a big appetite. If you don't have enough to eat every day, how can you work in the afternoon?"

"If you don't finish the work, the factory will deduct your salary."

The steel rolling mill has clear rules and regulations, and every worker has his or her own basic number of tasks.

The same goes for fitters. They need to process a fixed number of workpieces every day. If they fail to complete the task, it will be noted by the team leader and the wages will be deducted directly.

Although the deduction is not much, it still adds up to several dollars.

And this is not just a matter of deducting money. If one person fails to complete the number of tasks, it will delay the assessment of the entire group.

Over time, it is easy to offend people.

"It just so happens that you are free now, Dongxu. Come with me to find the backyard, and we can have a good talk with Chen Jun."

Seeing Jia Dongxu's face was a little ugly, Yi Zhonghai continued to persuade him: "I know you hate Chen Jun, don't I hate him too? But now he is stronger than us in the steel mill, we can't afford to offend him, and today he even went out in the leader's car. We should try not to confront him head-on in the future, we should keep a low profile and wait for the right opportunity to deal with him."

This trick was taught to him by the deaf old lady before, but Yi Zhonghai did not listen at that time. It was not until today when he saw the leader's driver personally open the car door for Chen Jun that he suddenly realized the truth.

Before he knew it, Chen Jun had already established relationships with the leaders.

Yi Zhonghai used to think that Chen Jun was nothing special. As a senior worker, even if he had a problem with Chen Jun, there was no way Chen Jun would go to the workshop to cause trouble for him, right?

But if he doesn't go to the workshop, he can be eaten to death in the cafeteria.

These days, Yi Zhonghai has been eating vegetable soup for every meal. His life is so difficult.
