Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Chapter 186 Liu Haizhong, full of vigor

When Qin Jingru saw that Yi Zhonghai only wanted cornbread and not vegetables, she didn't say anything. She picked out four of the smallest cornbreads and put them into Yi Zhonghai's lunchbox.

Yi Zhonghai took the lunchbox, and he and Jia Dongxu casually found a table to sit down at. He asked, somewhat puzzled:

"Dongxu, didn't you say Huairu and Qin Jingru had already agreed? Why is Qin Jingru still flipping the wok for us?"

Jia Dongxu took a bite of the cornbread and gritted his teeth, saying, "It was Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu must have lied to me. Just wait until I get back, I'll teach her a lesson."

Yi Zhonghai sighed: "Dongxu, let's walk a few more minutes to the second canteen tomorrow."

At this point, Yi Zhonghai patted Jia Dongxu on the shoulder and comforted him:

"Dongxu, don't worry. Shazhu will be back in the cafeteria the day after tomorrow. He will have a cooking competition with Qin Jingru. I believe that with Shazhu's cooking skills, he will definitely be able to drive Qin Jingru out of the third cafeteria. As long as Shazhu continues to work as a waiter, his status in the cafeteria will remain the same as before, and we won't have to go all the way to the second cafeteria anymore."

"become."

the other side.

Yan Jiecheng worked diligently in the foundry workshop all morning. When it was lunchtime, he learned his lesson and instead of going to the third canteen, he went to the second canteen, which was farther away.

Sure enough, he wasn't tossed around in the wok at the second cafeteria, which made him breathe a long sigh of relief.

......

The Intermediate People's Court, the Wang family.

There was no hospitality at the factory today, and Qin Jingru returned around 5 p.m.

"Jingru, why are you back so early today? Is there no hospitality at the factory today?" Wang Feng asked.

"Yes, Brother Wang Feng, there's no hospitality at the factory, so I definitely have to come back early to cook for you," Qin Jingru replied with a smile.

Wang Feng asked, somewhat puzzled, "Jingru, the factory didn't offer any hospitality, so you should be fine now, right? You should have been able to come back earlier, right?"

Qin Jingru nodded: "Hehe, Brother Wang Feng, the canteen manager said that if there is a reception that day, he will notify me before 4 pm. If he hasn't notified me by 4 pm, I can leave early. I had a good chat with Liu Lan and the others today, so I chatted with them at the factory for a while longer."

Wang Feng suddenly thought of Qin Dashan, his brother-in-law, who had been completely ignored since he joined the steel rolling mill.

"By the way, Jingru, has your brother come to see you these past couple of days? How is he doing?"

Qin Jingru smiled slightly: "My brother, he came to our cafeteria for lunch today. He told me that he was assigned to the third fitter workshop, and his master is a level seven fitter. He said that his master taught him very diligently."

At this point, Qin Jingru gave a strange smile and said:

"My brother also said that his master has a daughter who is very big and burly, and I think her name is Liu Yuhua. His master even wanted to introduce his daughter to my brother, which almost scared my brother to death."

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng was secretly shocked. What a coincidence! His brother-in-law's fitter master was actually Liu Yuhua's father, Liu Cheng.

Fortunately, Qin Dashan didn't think much of Liu Yuhua. She was the wife he had reserved for Yan Jiecheng. If Qin Dashan had snatched her away, his plan would have failed.

"Jingru, go and cook."

"Okay, Brother Wang Feng, have some tea first, I'll go cook now."

Qin Jingru cooked very quickly. Before Wang Feng had even finished his tea, Qin Jingru had already prepared two dishes: braised pork and hot and sour shredded potatoes.

At the dinner table, Qin Jingru placed a piece of braised pork on Wang Feng's plate, blushing as she said:

"Brother Wang Feng, I have good news for you, my period has passed."

"Okay, okay!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng was overjoyed. He had been feeling incredibly stifled these past few days, as both of his women were on their periods at the same time.

Just as Wang Feng and Qin Jingru were having dinner, Liu Haizhong walked into the courtyard with a triumphant air.

"Old Liu, why are you so late today?" Yan Fugui asked.

Liu Haizhong tilted his head back and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, Lao Yan, I'm not the same Liu Haizhong I used to be. Let me tell you, I'm an official now. From now on, call me Team Leader Liu."

Without saying another word to Yan Fugui, Liu Haizhong walked away with his nose in the air.

"Neuropathy."

Yan Fugui stared speechlessly at Liu Haizhong's retreating figure and spat softly.

So what if he's just a group leader? What's he so smug about? Even Sha Zhu has always been the cafeteria supervisor, and he's not like this. The supervisor and the group leader are the same level, it's just a matter of a couple of yuan more in subsidies.

There's also Wang Feng, a deputy section chief, a proper cadre, who doesn't act like a big shot when he's just a nobody, and he's showing off in front of him.

Liu Haizhong was in high spirits today. Since becoming the acting team leader, he has been working particularly hard. Today, when one of his team members failed to complete his task, he stayed behind to help him finish it, which is why he came home late from get off work.

"Haha, Erleng, how did you know I became the team leader?"

"Tiedan isn't a big shot, just a team leader, but I'll be promoted to workshop director soon."

"Da Mao, from now on, don't call me Second Uncle, call me Team Leader Liu, understand?"

Liu Haizhong was in a great mood. He walked from the front yard to the back yard, and whenever someone greeted him, he asked them to call him Team Leader Liu.

Upon arriving in the backyard, before even entering the house, Liu Haizhong burst into laughter.

"Honey, I'm home."

Auntie Er came out of the room and saw Liu Haizhong smiling broadly. She asked in surprise:

"Old Liu, you really became an official?"

"Haha, that's for sure. Today, Factory Director Li made me a team leader first, but I'll soon be promoted to workshop director. Honey, are the eggs ready? I'm so happy today, fry me six eggs to celebrate!" Liu Haizhong laughed loudly.

Auntie Er nodded repeatedly in delight: "Great, great, great! Old Liu, you've finally become an official! Our family has finally produced an official! Wait here, I'll go fry some eggs for you right now."

The eggs were quickly scrambled and cooked. Liu Haizhong ate the eggs with gusto, taking bites of scrambled eggs and then bites of cabbage, making Liu Guangtian and his brother's mouths water uncontrollably.

Liu Haizhong was in a good mood today and picked up two eggs for his second aunt, which made her smile from ear to ear.

"Dad, can you finish all these eggs by yourself?" Liu Guangtian asked cautiously, swallowing hard.

Liu Guangfu's eyes were fixed on the eggs in the bowl. If he wasn't afraid of being hit by Liu Haizhong, he would have already snatched them.

Liu Haizhong glanced sideways at Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, and asked with a sneer, "Want to eat eggs?"

The Liu brothers nodded repeatedly.

Liu Haizhong took a big bite of egg, then a big gulp of wine, and sneered:

"Go buy your own food if you want. I worked myself to death to raise you, and in the end you betrayed me. I'm in a good mood today, so I won't hit you."

As he spoke, Liu Haizhong continued eating, completely ignoring the sinister looks in the eyes of Liu Guangtian and his brother.
