Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things

Wang Kuirong was thinking about something when he heard a shout from behind.

"Director Wang."

"Qin Huairu, why are you here?"

"I... I want to ask why the factory gave me a promotion. I can't cook." Qin Huairu said uncomfortably.

"I've been thinking about this, too." Wang Kuirong said with a wry smile. "I have some ideas, but I don't know if they are correct."

"You tell me." Qin Huairu said seriously.

"You know that the boiler that burns molten iron exploded?"

"I know."

How could Qin Huairu not know about such a big thing? Two people died and more than a dozen were seriously injured. The factory leaders were so busy that the small kitchen was put on hold.

"Today, the factory received two commendation letters, both commending Director Lin. Logically speaking, Director Lin has made such a great contribution, so he should be rewarded." Wang Kuirong touched his chin and said, "But the factory only rewarded him 100 yuan. I originally thought it was unreasonable, but you suddenly got promoted, and I think it is reasonable."

"Why?"

Hearing about Lin Shaowen, Qin Huairu immediately became nervous.

"How old is he? A 20-year-old director is at the same level as me." Wang Kuirong said with a little jealousy, "If he is promoted again, he will be a deputy minister, a factory leader... Do you think it is reasonable?"

"Hmm."

A picture suddenly appeared in Qin Huairu's mind.

Lin Shaowen, who was in his early twenties, was wearing a white shirt and sitting on the leadership platform with a serious face. He was surrounded by old men in their fifties.

It is quite unreasonable.

"So... I think the factory should give him a promotion as compensation." Wang Kuirong smiled, "I don't know what you two have, but maybe someone thinks you two have something, so the reward was given to you."

"Ah?"

Qin Huairu blushed and said anxiously, "Director, he is my brother, there is nothing between him and me."

"I know, but some people don't know." Wang Kuirong said leisurely, "But you don't have to worry, this matter is handled by the director and deputy director personally, no one else can do it."

"I know, thank you director."

Qin Huairu bowed to Wang Kuirong and went back to work.

Wang Kuirong looked at her back and smiled bitterly.

If Lin Shaowen really let it go on like this, he would not find it strange if this woman took his position.

A canteen kitchen.

"Sister Qin."

Liu Lan called out affectionately.

"Sister Liu, what are you doing?" Qin Huairu was stunned.

Liu Lan is a little older than her, and she used to call her by her name.

"Age is not important."

Liu Lan smiled sweetly.

"I say, Liu Lan, you are so disgusting for flattering me." Sha Zhu laughed and scolded.

"Go to hell, Sister Qin is an eighth-level cook, on an equal footing with you." Liu Lan retorted.

"Sister Qin, how did you get promoted?" Sha Zhu frowned.

"I don't know either."

Qin Huairu smiled bitterly.

"Could it be related to the Women's Federation?" Ma Hua came over and said, "The director seemed to have mentioned the Women's Federation just now."

"Oh, Sister Qin, haven't you been in charge of the Women's Federation work in Nanluoguxiang?" Sha Zhu suddenly realized.

"Women's Federation."

Others shuddered when they heard these two words.

The original jealousy of Qin Huairu disappeared immediately, and those women were not easy to mess with.

Siheyuan.

After dinner.

Many people gathered together to talk about the explosion of the boiler in the steel mill today.

Qin Huairu and Lin Shaowen were among them, one of them was eating melon seeds and the other was smoking.

"Director Lin was so impressive today. The factory rewarded him with 100 yuan." Someone sighed.

"He is impressive? Is he as impressive as Sister Qin?"

Sha Zhu glanced at Lin Shaowen with disdain.

"Zhu Zi."

Qin Huairu immediately glared at him.

"What's wrong with Qin Huairu?"

Many people immediately became interested.

Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu also pricked up their ears.

Sha Zhu said proudly, "Sister Qin has done a good job recently and has been praised by the factory. Now she has been promoted to the eighth-level cook."

"..."

Everyone seemed to be strangled by the neck and stared at Qin Huairu in amazement.

"How much is the salary of an eighth-level cook?" Jia Zhangshi asked Jia Dongxu.

"Three... thirty-seven dollars and a half." Jia Dongxu swallowed his saliva.

"What? Isn't that the same as Shazhu?" Jia Zhang shouted.

Those who had given up on Qin Huairu because she was in debt suddenly rekindled their hopes.

Qin Huairu was alone and didn't have to support her family.

She could pay off a thousand yuan salary in less than three years.

If she was married, the rest would be earned, a dual-income family."Huai Ru, what do you think of our Jie Cheng?" Auntie San said with a smile.

"What?"

Qin Huai Ru didn't understand.

"My Jie Cheng has a high school education and now works in a textile factory. The leader praises him for his good work and he will be able to become a regular employee soon." Auntie San said proudly, "In our yard, who is better than him among his peers."

"Lin Shao Wen is a deputy section chief and earns 99 yuan a month." Sha Zhu said faintly.

He is a few years older than Yan Jie Cheng, so they are not his peers.

"Sha Zhu, if you can't speak, just shut up."

San San said angrily, "Director Lin is a college student, how can he be compared?"

"You also know that he is a college student? Why is Yan Lao Er, a high school student, showing off?" Sha Zhu sneered.

He is not stupid and knows exactly what Auntie San wants to do.

"You..."

Auntie San was immediately furious and didn't bother to talk to Qin Huai Ru anymore. She moved the small stool and went back.

"Shazhu, I haven't offended you recently, have I?" Lin Shaowen said dissatisfiedly.

He was not afraid that Yan Bugui's family would hate him, but he hated being used as a gun by Shazhu.

"I was praising you." Shazhu laughed.

"Fuck you."

After cursing, Lin Shaowen stood up and went back.

"Huairu, I have a nephew, who is 21 years old this year. He is a little young, but he has a good temper." The second aunt also came over, "If you agree, I will ask him to come and meet you tomorrow. The young man is very energetic."

"Huairu, I also have a nephew..." Aunt Qian also came over.

...

"Thank you, aunts, I don't have this idea for the time being." Qin Huairu smiled and shook her head, "I will go back to rest too, I have to go to work tomorrow."

Everyone looked at Qin Huairu's back and gritted their teeth secretly.

He must marry Qin Huairu. This woman earns 37.5 yuan a month. What's the difference between marrying her and marrying a hen that lays golden eggs?

As for being married before.

What does it matter? Qin Huairu is only 27 years old. It's not like she can't have children.

Many aunts looked at each other and saw the sparks in each other's eyes.

Middle Courtyard.

When Qin Huairu passed by, Banggeng immediately ran out, hugged her thighs and shouted, "Mom."

"What for?" Qin Huairu said with a straight face.

"I miss you." Banggeng smiled flatteringly.

"Huairu, come and sit down. Banggeng misses you."

Jia Zhang waved kindly.

"Jia Zhang, I know what you are thinking, but I advise you not to think about it." Qin Huairu sneered, "And Banggeng, don't go after my things. My brother and I have agreed that after I pay off my debts in a few years, I will adopt a child from him."

"What did you say?"

Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu's faces suddenly became ugly.

"Stinky woman, slut."

Banggeng cursed and ran quickly behind Jia Zhang.

Qin Huairu looked at Banggeng motionlessly.

"Qin Huairu, I tell you, if you dare to make a move today, I will fight you." Jia Zhang scolded harshly.

Jia Dongxu didn't say anything. To be honest, he was a little afraid of Qin Huairu now.

Qin Peiru looked at Qin Huairu with some concern. Anyone who was scolded by his own child would feel uncomfortable.

For a long time.

Qin Huairu suddenly laughed.

When Banggeng scolded her before, she felt very uncomfortable and even cried several times.

But this time, she felt nothing.

This might be what it means to really let go.
