Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

Sha Zhu grinned, then scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "I was thinking it's not safe for you, a female comrade, to go home so late."

"Haven't you heard anything recently?"

Liu Lan couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?"

Although she has a carefree personality, she is still an unmarried girl after all. It would be a lie if she said she is not afraid to go home alone at night.

Especially seeing Sha Zhu's appearance, Liu Lan felt even more uneasy.

"Recently, a group of hooligans have emerged in the city. They steal chickens and dogs during the day and molest female comrades at night." Sha Zhu spoke without thinking, but his expression was very serious.

Flirting with lesbians?

Liu Lan's heart tightened and she subconsciously thought in a bad direction.

Sha Zhu struck while the iron was hot and said quickly, "Come on, let's go. I'll take you home."

Although Liu Lan felt a little embarrassed, she could only nod when she thought of what Sha Zhu said.

Just like that, Sha Zhu happily escorted Liu Lan back home. The two chatted as they walked, and they didn't encounter any thrilling things along the way.

When Liu Lan got home, Sha Zhu didn't hesitate, just waved his hand and left.

Liu Lan's home was not far from the steel rolling mill, but it was quite remote. It took Sha Zhu more than 40 minutes to return to the courtyard.

It's already past twelve o'clock, but Shazhu still feels happy.

The slight fatigue in his body was nothing to him.

......

The next day, early in the morning.

As it was almost time to go to work, Xu Damao rushed out of the house in a hurry, putting on his clothes while fiddling with the toothbrush in his mouth.

"Huh? Lin Yao, why did you just leave for school? Normally, you should be almost at school at this time, right?" Xu Damao asked curiously.

I wondered if I was the only one who overslept in this courtyard.

Lin Yao nodded helplessly. She had indeed overslept.

Not only did I oversleep, but I also had some snacks for breakfast.

There was no other way. Chen Jun had to arrive at the steel rolling mill late in the morning because of his overtime work in the canteen. Although Wang Xia did not work overtime until very late, she did not have to arrive at the canteen very early.

So they both chose to sleep in.

This was a tough time for Lin Yao, as she woke up to find that she had overslept.

There was no time to eat breakfast, so I could only go to Chen Jun's room to find some snacks, stuff my stomach and go out.

"Hey, it's really strange that your brother didn't even call you to get up." Xu Damao said with some gloating.

If Lin Yao just went out at this time, doesn’t it mean that Chen Jun will also be late?

Xu Damao felt much better because he was late with someone to accompany him.

"My brother doesn't need to go to work on time." Lin Yao said this and trotted out.

What the hell?

Xu Damao suddenly stopped brushing his teeth and felt uncomfortable again.

Chen Jun actually has the privilege of not being able to go to work on time?

Oh, look, it’s really true that comparing yourself with others will make you feel pissed off.

However, Xu Damao knew that he was no match for Chen Jun, who was the deputy director of the canteen and a proven cadre.

He is also responsible for receiving engineers from the factory. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a popular figure in the factory.

Thinking of those big-nosed engineers who came to the factory, Xu Damao couldn't help licking his lips.

He heard the director of the Propaganda Department boast that the reception for the engineering team was more delicious than the emperor's Manchu-Han banquet, and he described it vividly.

Xu Damao couldn't help drooling just by listening.

So he was thinking about finding an opportunity to sneak into the kitchen today to see if he could shamelessly get some food.

After wiping his face casually, Xu Damao didn't even bother to eat and hurried out to work.

When he ran to the central courtyard, he happened to meet Jia Dongxu who was also rushing out in a panic.

"Dongxu, don't run so fast. What if you fall or get hurt?" Jia Zhang chased out of the house and said worriedly.

Jia Dongxu's injuries have not yet fully healed. If he does any strenuous activity and the old injuries recur, it will cost a lot of money to go to the hospital.

"Yeah, got it!"

Jia Dongxu replied impatiently that he was extremely tired these days and fell asleep as soon as he came back from overtime.

The first thought that comes to my mind when I open my eyes in the morning is to ask for leave.

But he wanted to ask for leave, but Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu were not happy.

There is only one person in the family who works and earns money. If he just lies at home, what will the family eat and drink?

Helplessly, Jia Dongxu got up reluctantly despite being urged, and only hurried out when he saw that he was about to be late.

"Xu Damao, what are you laughing at?" Jia Dongxu noticed the mean Xu Damao at this time.

Xu Damao grinned: "You are just trash!"

After cursing, Xu Damao ran away.

Before, Xu Damao thought that Jia Dongxu was doing well. He was the first of his peers in the courtyard to work in a steel rolling mill, and also the first of his peers to get married.

But looking at Jia Dongxu now, he is such a rubbish.

His work is terrible and he has to work overtime every day to complete his tasks, but Chen Jun has become a popular figure among factory leaders.

Chen Jun can sleep in without worrying about being late, but Jia Dongxu has to rush to work.

From this perspective, Jia Dongxu is just so-so, at most a little bit better than himself.

However, the slight advantage he had gained by being strong no longer existed after he caught up with Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e has money, good looks, a good figure, status, and a background. She is much better than Qin Huairu.

As long as he could take down Lou Xiao'e, he would be able to rise rapidly in the Propaganda Department and reach the peak of his life.

"No, you're just looking for trouble, aren't you?"

Jia Dongxu was scolded for no reason and felt that Xu Damao was a psycho.

I didn't bother him for no reason.

But after Xu Damao finished scolding people, he ran away and soon disappeared around the corner.

Jia Zhang was also confused. She did not expect Xu Damao to be so bold as to scold her own precious son in front of her.

Do these people want to rebel?

First, Sha Zhu went to Qin Huairu to collect debts, and then Xu Damao cursed people.

If you don’t know, you might think that the Jia family has fallen on hard times and anyone can come and step on them.

"Don't be angry, Dongxu. When that idiot Xu Damao comes back, mom will help you scold him. Go to work now."

"We are very poor now. You must work hard and don't make mistakes, otherwise we will have nothing to eat."

"You are a father now, so don't do things... Hey, hey, hey, did you listen to what I said?"

When Jia Zhang saw that Jia Dongxu was not willing to pay any attention to her at all, she jumped three feet high in anger.

All of them want to rebel, right?

If the tiger doesn't show its power, do you think I'm a sick cat like Jia Zhang?

Have a feast! Have a feast!

Get back all the face that the Jia family had lost before.

Everyone in the courtyard, don’t even think about running away, you all have to come and follow the money!

"Qin Huairu, what are you dithering about? Come with me to the hospital! My eldest grandson is still hungry!"
